Chapter 124. Companion
“Why should I save someone who came here to kill me?”
“Please… I’ve never once tried to kill anyone. I haven’t actually killed anyone either. I haven’t even killed many Zombies.”
Hyeji seemed to feel the situation was incredibly unfair.
Tears, thick as chicken droppings, streamed down her face as she pleaded.
“I just wanted to survive. I know the Messiah of the Ark of the New Humanity is just a pathetic cult leader… but I just wanted to live, even if it meant cooperating with them.”
“If a murderer, holding a knife, threatened you and demanded the location of the person they were chasing, would you be innocent for cooperating because you didn’t want to die?”
“That’s…”
“I want revenge on you for revealing our location, you know?”
“Please, I beg for your forgiveness… I was wrong. Please forgive me.”
What was the point of having this conversation with her now?
I gave Euna a nod and grabbed the doorknob.
“Later!”
Hyeji, left behind, cried out.
“If you think long-term, are you two going to travel together like this until you die? What about the possibility of forming a faction? Or if you ever need to find something… there will definitely be a moment later when you’ll regret not having my Ability.”
“…”
“My maintenance cost isn’t much. I can just eat leaves or whatever I find on the roadside. Please, just let me live… *Sob*…”
*Creak, Thud!*
Hearing Hyeji’s desperate cries, I stepped out of the Storage Room.
Although I had spoken coldly, I wasn’t entirely unsympathetic to her plight.
