Chapter 20. Patriot (3)
* * * * *
There is an unfinished overpass between the southern district and the western district. It is a road that was built along the outer borders of the five districts of East, West, South, and North, and if done properly, it would have significantly reduced traffic congestion in each district.
It looks like the foundation has been completed and the pillars have been erected quite well, but the construction could not progress further due to the zombie outbreak.
From the perspective of gangsters and fanatics, it is a land like Gyereuk.
As you can see from the term “Overpass construction site,” There is nothing to bring here other than construction materials. There are just countless zombies.
The reason there are so many zombies is because construction stopped and the zombie crisis became more serious, and people who had nothing were driven out here and formed shantytowns… So it was written in the Beitra newspaper.
“Caution: Do not touch the ‘buffer zone’ between overpasses as much as possible. “It says to save bullets.”
This was written in every notebook of a fallen gang member. The term ‘buffer zone’ was kindly written on the back of the notebook.
Both the gangs and the fanatics know that this fight will be long-term and a war of attrition. It doesn’t end when you kill each other, but you also have to fight against countless zombies.
So, they are fighting by avoiding unnecessary battles, but only selecting and plundering places with high strategic value.
So, placing a bunch of zombies on the ‘border area’ of the two forces is a pretty good choice. The zombies act as a kind of guard dog, and in order to get over from the other side to this side, you have to withstand the barrage of fire that breaks through the wall of the zombie horde.
We decided to take advantage of this fact. We decided to infect the zombies between the overpasses, spread the infection to both sides, and move toward the center.
It is the safest strategy as long as it works well. Instead, you should not fall into either gangs or fanaticism. It’s not that I have any objection to the idea of people shooting people. I don’t know about other people, but at least not me.
However, we do not want to hastily touch the two forces that are far superior in number and firepower than us. This is a really big city, and the supplies that can be mobilized are comparable to those of a fairly large military unit. I have no intention of seeing a head-to-head match.
“So there is no need for all four of us to participate in the ‘infection’ operation. I think we just need to leave the supplies here in a safe place and move the truck with the zombies. First of all, of course I’m going, but I need one more person to cover me….”
Camilla was the first to raise her hand, followed by Leticia. To his dismay, Cassandra also slightly raised her hand.
“You can’t do this, Cassandra.”
I feel like I mustered up the courage, but I feel sorry that I cut it like a knife.
“If you get hurt, who will treat us?”

“I can do it too…” .”
“You can do it. But if you do all the treatment, stand guard, and go on operations all by yourself, what should I do? Are you okay.”
Camilla comforted Cassandra. Cassandra seemed to finally understand and nodded her head. The problem is who to take, Camilla or Leticia.
“And neither can he.”
Camilla pointed at Leticia, specifically at her buttocks.
“Her butt wouldn’t even be able to get through the window and she’d get stuck.”
“Oh, she has no breasts and her butt is small, so she is tactical. “What does that mean?”
“You have everything you need and you also have a pretty face, so you must have become a model, right?”
Leticia jumped in, stretching out her arms like her lion, and Camilla threw her hands up like her tiger. Leticia got a bump on the top of her head and she got caught in between Camilla before she got a scar on her face.
“I want to take Camilla with me.”
“Hey!”
Cassandra’s face turned pale. If I move with Camilla, Cassandra has to stay with Leticia.
“Uh, why? “What am I inferior to Camilla?”
Luckily, Leticia froze.
“I don’t doubt your skills. It’s just that Camilla and I have more experience working together on this type of operation. “It’s not because you can’t do it, it’s because I’m comfortable.”
“Okay. “You two did a lot of absurd things.”
Camilla made a complaint that was not a complaint. Leticia’s eyes suddenly rolled over.
“If you’ve been doing it for a long time, you can take a break! And if I only go out with the guy who went on the operation, when will I get any experience?”
“If you feel unfair, you should have come earlier than me.”
Camilla continues to smile. Before Leticia could get angry, he gently touched her shoulder.
“I trust you. So, I can leave Cassandra and all of our assets in your care. “If you weren’t trustworthy, how could I have left you and Cassandra behind?”
This is true. If Leticia changes her mind and runs away with our property, it will be over.
“But I also know how to do things like positioning and sniping. The body is also slim….”
“You know. “Once you gain some experience, let’s go together.”
“You promised?”
Leticia managed to calm down, and then it was Cassandra’s turn, who was still shaking. She planned the detailed plan and waited for the blood draw, a time when she and Cassandra could be alone.
“This way…” .”
Cassandra wanted to have a medical room in her trailer, but with her living space and medical facilities adjacent to each other, she didn’t think it would be a good idea.
She had no choice but to lift the seat from the back of her pickup truck and put the plastic on it. Although it is clumsy, it is easy to supply electricity because there is a solar generator and power pack.
“Cassandra.”
“Yes.”
“Is it possible that Leticia will still be holding her cell phone and muttering to herself?”
Cassandra stopped and looked around. And she quietly nodded her head. What on earth is Leticia doing?
“Uh, yes. Just as you said before, I didn’t pretend to know and pretended not to know.”
“Camilla still doesn’t know, right?”
“Yes….”
“Hmm. It might be scary to be with Leticia, but for my sake… Can you tell me when Leticia talks to herself like that? There’s no need to overdo it. “She doesn’t have to if it’s a burden.”
This is true. If it’s a burden, you don’t have to do it. But the fear can be eased. Cassandra is not in the position of being scared by Leticia, but rather is in the position of observing her. When she has something to do, she has an excuse to get through it.
“Ah, okay. I’ll try it. Instead of….”
“Instead?”
Cassandra blushed again. She then covered her breasts with her arms.
“Oh, no.”
“What is it?”
“It’s really nothing. You can leave now. Because it’s all over.”
“What’s going on?”
“… Later. John. Later.”
Should I ask Leticia now what’s going on with Cassandra?

The next day. And the next day.
We continued to move to develop new overpass areas.
Until now, it was sorted out by just releasing the zombies, but now that it is an area inside the city rather than the outskirts, there are more zombies and there are quite a few patrollers wandering around.
I drove the truck slowly. I could see the pillars of the overpass. The pillar had long vertical lines drawn up and down and the words ‘Night Wolf on this side, Church on that side.’ Night Wolf seems to be what the gangsters refer to themselves as.
“It’s a bit embarrassing.”
I was talking to myself, but Camilla seems to have heard it.
– Huh? What?
“No, you use a cool name for a gang theme. “What is a night wolf?”
– That’s a cool name?
I glanced through the truck window at the building where Camilla was likely to be. Of course she couldn’t be seen because she was hiding so well.
“I told you so, caricatures are pretty cool. “Can you take a picture and send it to me?”
– You can see it here too. Wow, it’s messy.
Where on earth is Camilla?
I looked at the buildings lined up on both sides of the overpass. The buildings were quite tall, about 20 to 30 stories high, so the construction site in the middle of them looked like a valley.
All of the building’s windows were broken and bullet marks were visible. A portion of the side of the building was torn off and rebar was seen sticking out. It looks like it was hit by an RPG.
I drove the truck slowly down the overpass.
The shantytown continued below the overpass. It seemed like it was a kind of administrative vacuum area, neither the western district nor the southern district.
A temporary tent made of drums filled with wooden blocks and used to make a fire, and tattered banners. There was also a fishing chair with a guitar with a broken string on it. Traces of a bonfire can be seen on the pile of stones painted in rainbow colors.
A teddy bear was also seen. One of its ears was torn off and its stomach was ruptured, with cotton sticking out, but the messy hand stains made it seem like it would have been quite cute in the past.
“Ugh…” .”
No, I guess it’s still like that.
A girl in her late teens glares at me with a twinkle in her eye.
We stopped the truck and had a snowball fight for a while. The zombie girl looked around and snatched her teddy bear. After that, more than twenty zombies are wandering around.
“Camilla. Do you see anyone around?”
– No.
“Then I’ll turn the car around. If there is a problem, please tell me right away.”
– Yes.
I turned the truck back in the vacant lot. Beep- Beep- Loud reverse warning sound. Zombies are limping and approaching the truck. Thump thump. Thump thump. Thump thump. The guys in the cargo bay were also pounding on the wall, probably excited.
“Open.”
Boom! Bang!
As soon as you release the remote lock, you hear a crunching sound.
“Kwaaak!”
This is the sound of our guys attacking the zombies in front of them. The guys who approached the driver’s seat of the truck ran to the back. After waiting for them to disappear, I opened the driver’s door.
