Trash of the Count's Family

Chapter 573: Night of Potential (9)

At the central shelter closest to the one Cale was at…

“Fuck!”

Jae Ha-Jung who was taking on the role of supporter at this location was frowning with both of his hands shaking.

The tree trunks coming out of his hands were tightly binding a large iron door.

Baaaaang! Bang!

But the iron door looked ready to break at any moment from the banging.

No, it was already starting to break.

The door had dents here and there and it was starting to bend, slowly causing gaps to appear on the sides.

And beyond the iron door…

“Kihehehe!”

They heard the laughter of an animal that resembled a monkey.

The banging on the iron door became louder every time it laughed.

“Fuck!”

He started to frown.

‘It’s toying with us!’

The monster was toying with the people who were hiding inside and doing everything they could to resist.

But that was slowly coming to an end.

“Hyung-nim!”

Bae Cheol-Ho, the ‘General’ at this central shelter, clenched his hand that was holding a piece of paper after hearing Jae Ha-Jung's desperate voice.

It was the information that Park Jin Tae, the leader of the nearby central shelter, had brought him last night.

He had thought that the fearless Park Jin Tae had finally gone crazy after hearing that it was information from one of his shelter’s ability users with the power of foresight.

But everything on that paper was true.

The monsters appeared along with the solar eclipse. The weaker Grade 3 monsters came charging in first.

Then, seven taster monsters appeared.

This extremely accurate foresight gave him the chills, but this information allowed them to last until now.

…Yes, until now.

It didn’t look as if they could last any longer.

“Ugh.”

“Huff, huff!”

There were injured people groaning in pain behind Bae Cheol-Ho.

And in front of him…

Beyond the breaking iron door…

“Kihehehe!”

He could hear the red monkey monster’s laugh as the other monsters started to approach.

He could see the Grade 2 monsters getting closer through the only crack on the boarded windows that they had purposely left in order to be able to look out.

The other Grade 1 taster monsters that had been leisurely enjoying the situation from the rear were approaching as well.

This all started to happen once the Steel Feather Hawk disappeared.

“Hyung-nim!”

"General-nim!”

Bae Cheol-Ho could hear people shouting for him from multiple directions.

The veins on the hand clenching the paper looked ready to burst, but he was just looking at the iron door that was on the brink of breaking with a stoic expression.

But he could not do that any longer.

“Hyung-nim! I can't hold on any longer!”

Jae Ha-Jung shouted toward Bae Cheol-Ho while looking as if he was going to cry.

His shaking hands and sweat-drenched body were telling them that he had reached his limits.

Bae Cheol-Ho grabbed his weapon again.

If it was difficult to last inside the building, he needed to at least head outside and lure the monsters away.

Bae Cheol-Ho started to speak.

“…Jae Ha-Jung.”

Jae Ha-Jung started to frown as if he knew what was about to happen.

Bae Cheol-Ho and Jae Ha-Jung started to speak at the same time.

“You can sto-”

“Hyung-nim, I will do what I can to hold on a little loon-”

It was at that moment.

{Starting now.}

Everybody inside the building shut up.

It was that voice.

They could not forget the voice that they heard during the solar eclipse. It was the voice that had been providing them with information every hour.

{We will now send the first round of reinforcements.}

Jae Ha-Jung and Bae Cheol-Ho looked toward each other.

Bae Cheol-Ho clenched his fists again.

{Please hold on a little longer.}

The woman continued to speak.

{The first round of reinforcements will take care of all taster monsters.}

Bae Cheol-Ho released his clenched fists.

Jae Ha-Jung started to mumble.

“…What? Is that even possible?”
