Park Jin Tae said something after looking at Cale's expression.

“…Damn, what a vicious expression.”

“Hmm.”

Flinch.

Park Jin Tae turned his head after hearing a voice behind him.

The Dark Tiger smiled after making eye contact with Park Jin Tae.

‘Damn it. So damn vicious.’

A monster like that smiling just made it look scarier.

Park Jin Tae frowned and shut up.

It was at that moment.

“Over here.”

Cale stopped walking.

Park Jin Tae raised his head.

It was the same as every other night.

Even with all the neon signs that had lighted up Korea at night time having disappeared, even as people were getting tired from surviving in this world that was full of monsters…

The stars appeared in the night sky every night.

He could see a building thanks to the light from the stars.

“Are we starting over here?”

Cale turned his head after hearing a gentle voice.

Joo Ho-Shik walked over to him.

Park Jin Tae started to frown again after looking at him.

‘My goodness. His fashion sense is quite amazing.’

He was wearing a white shirt, white pants, and white shoes.

They were all decorated with the blood of monsters.

‘Crazy bastard.’

This guy was a crazy bastard for a different reason than Kim Rok Soo.

“Yes, sir. We are starting here.”

“Hmm. I see.”

Joo Ho-Shik looked up at the building and calmly continued to speak.

“I see that this is the starting point of faith.”

Park Jin Tae started to frown.

“That’s right. It is the start of faith.”

He frowned even more after hearing Cale calmly responding back.

Joo Ho-Shik quietly observed Cale for a bit before starting to speak again.

“…Do you know about faith?”

Cale didn't even look at Joo Ho-Shik and responded as he motioned to Che Soo Jung.

“Is there much to faith? All you need is to have faith in yourself.”

Joo Ho-Shik's eyes immediately clouded over.

He then gently smiled.

“The mind of someone with the great power of foresight is truly different. I wish to learn about such a faith as we-”

“Hey, mister. You're being too loud.”

A stoic Che Soo Jung moved in between Joo Ho-Shik and Cale.

There was a jigae that was wider than her on her back. [1]

She would not let anybody touch her jigae.

“Too loud, faith is an amazing-”

“Sorry, I have no desire to hear about a cult.”

Che Soo Jung easily ignored Joo Ho-Shik and looked toward Cale.

Click.

Cale was activating the walkie-talkie.

Paat.

The walkie-talkie was soon covered by a bright light and… Cale started to speak.

“We’ve arrived at the starting point for the operation. I will now explain the operation one last time.”

Everybody quietly focused on what Cale had to say.

The start of the operation was simple.

It revolved around a single question.

‘While the Grade 2 and Grade 3 monsters are running wild at night… Where are the Grade 1 monsters?’

The Grade 1 monsters would attack tomorrow as the final hurdle for humans to overcome.

‘Where would those bastards be during the night?’

The answer to that question was officially documented in the future.

< While the Grade 2 and Grade 3 monsters attacked the central shelters in a state of madness, the Grade 1 monsters were all waiting and relaxing at a set distance. >

< They were all gathered together in one spot. >

< They quietly waited for their turns without hunting any humans. >

That was the reason that on this night when the central shelters lost their powers… The people who escaped from the central shelters and hid throughout the city were able to survive.

“Current location. In between the Grade 1 monsters and the Grade 2 and Grade 3 monsters by Park Jin Tae's central shelter.”

And using that fact as the foundation…

“Starting from this location…”

In this spot that was in between the Grade 2 and Grade 3 monsters attacking the central shelters and the Grade 1 monsters who were quietly waiting together to hunt tomorrow… In between these two groups…

“We will commence Operation Rat in a Jar.”

He would put an end to both sides.

Buzz.

Cale moved his mouth away from the walkie-talkie and walked into a building.

24 hours.

That was how long they had to last until the new central shelter appeared.

“It’s too long.”

There were basic needs.

People needed time to eat, sleep, and relax.

“Hyung-nim. See you later.”

“Sure thing, my dongsaeng.”

Cale said goodbye to Alberu and the Dark Tiger disappeared into the darkness.

The remaining four people went up to the building’s roof.

The people following behind Cale looked toward where he was pointing.

First, they saw the shelter where Park Jin Tae was the leader.

The shelter that was located nearby was bright.

It was because there was a fire on the roof.

Cale had asked them to maintain this fire.

That was why he could see well right now.

He could see the Grade 2 and Grade 3 monsters attacking the shelter.

“There’s so many of them it's disgusting.”

As everybody quietly agreed with Park Jin Tae's mumbling…

“Let's get started.”

Cale pointed toward the sky.

The gun in Park Jin Tae's hand pointed toward the sky.

“Fire.”

Park Jin Tae pulled the trigger as soon as Cale gave the command.
