Apocalypse: Apparently, I Can See Zombies

"You're wasting time, get out of the way."

The Team Leader said indifferently, before moving around Kai to leave. The other soldiers had already escorted the President out of the room, they were only waiting for the two.

However, before the Team Leader could leave through the door, Kai snorted and said.

"Damn brat, is this how you treat your older brother who sacrificed everything for you?"

The Team Leader suddenly stopped, then motioned to the soldiers outside to go on without him. The third floor had been cleared by them, so the only threat was the zombies remaining on the second floor they were on and the one on the ground floor.

After the soldiers received the order and left, silence descended in the room but was soon broken.

"I don't have a gang leader for an older brother."

The Team Leader suddenly turned around and retorted.

Kai in response snorted once more and then said with irritation.

"After everything I sacrificed for you to stay in the military, how else was I going to survive in this world? What? You didn't expect me to become some cashier at 7-Eleven did you? Why don't you show some gratefulness you little brat."

Han Soo silently stared at this older brother of his who he hadn't seen in nearly ten years. After a while, he sighed and then took off his helmet and ski mask. His face was revealed, and with one look one would be able to tell that they were brothers.

Despite being around four years apart, Kai had always been short and looked younger than his age, so they were often mistaken as twins growing up.

Kai with his arms still folded, looked at his younger brother's face and a bit of sadness flashed past his eyes.

"You look more like dad than me."

He suddenly whispered, and Han Soo just nodded without saying a word.

Seeing his silence, Kai smiled and opened his folded arms while beckoning to his little brother he hadn't seen in a while.

Han Soo grunted but still walked forward.

"Damn brat, why didn't you tell me you were recruited into the White Tiger forces when we talked a month ago? You're even a Team Leader already."

Kai asked as he hugged his little brother.

"I didn't want to make you jealous, no matter how much I wanted to brag. I even broke your marksmanship recorded for a new recruit."

Kai clicked his tongue at that, but Han Soo suddenly pulled away and asked.

"What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be in Itaewon?"

Kai suddenly waved his hand dismissively and said annoyed.

"Don't even ask. I was the first one to get attacked by that zombie who caused this mess, but after hearing that it was being sent to Asan hospital where the Prime Minister was, I decided on a whim to go as well to keep an eye on it. But who would have known that the virus didn't spread from a bite like in the movies but by just coming into contact with the body?

I watch all those movies for nothing!"

"Wait, you came into contact with patient zero?"

Han Soo asked with slight surprise, and Kia nodded but said reassuringly.

"Yeah, but I'm fine somehow."

Han Soo did a once-over glance of his brother before he nodded. After hesitating for a moment, he then said.

"I actually know that person, he's the senior I told you about who helped me back then, and he's also the one who recommended me to the White Tiger forces."

"Oh."

Kai responded but thought internally.

'So, he's the guy who always looked out for little Soo. I decided to reach out to his family and offer help in any way I could after I heard he was in an accident, but only the wife ever replied, and it was to by some ID.'

"Team Leader, the President is secured."

Han Soo turned around and nodded at the soldier who came to the doorway. He then turned to Kai and said.

"You should hurry, the zombies on the ground floor could come up at any moment and I don't think you have enough bullet in that thing to fend them off."

Han Soo glanced at the comically long revolver.

Kai frowned at that.

"Why does it sound like you aren't coming?"

Han Soo checked the bullets in his rifle and the magazines he had remaining before he motioned to the soldier outside. The soldier walked over and handed over two magazines from his vest pockets.

"I still have a mission to retrieve a blood sample from patient zero."

"What? Why? Why not take a blood sample from another infected person instead?"

Han Soo shook his head.

"It's important we get the blood from the source of the virus. It's so we can make a cure."

Kai's frown deepened as he looked at the lone soldier at the door.

"Where's the rest of your squad?"

"…It's a solo mission."

Click.

Han Soo said after a moment of silence, and his gun clicked as he finished his check.

"Are you crazy?! That guy is still in the emergency room on the ground floor, and you're telling me you want to go down there alone?!"

Han Soo opened his mouth to respond, but before he could Kai clicked his tongue and then walked around him to approach the soldier by the door.

"Hey, give me that rifle and your remaining ammo."

Surprisingly, the soldier didn't object and obediently handed over his gun. He even handed over his entire vest rather than just the remaining magazines in its pockets. All while a shimmer of admiration could be seen in his eyes as he looked at Kai.

"What are you doing? You're not coming with me."

Han Soo said as he rushed over to stop his brother, but Kai snorted and slapped his hand away.

"The hell I'm not, I'm not leaving my little brother to go on a suicide mission all by himself."

Han Soo frowned at the soldier who gave away his gun and vest. The soldier, however, kept his head down not meeting his gaze.

Even now his brother's name was still talked about within the White Tiger armed forces, and it was well known that he was the younger brother of such a legendary figure.

"Hyung-"

Han Soo turned to Kai who was putting on the vest to dissuade him, but Kai waved him off and turned to the four thugs who hadn't left yet.

"You guys leave. After you make it out gather everyone and tell them the situation. Be on standby for my orders after I return."

The four thugs were hesitant to leave but eventually, they nodded and soon left with the now gunless and vestless soldier.

"Why didn't you guys infiltrate the hospital from the ground floor and wipe out the zombies in one go?"

Han Soo had already come to terms with his brother tagging along, so he simply answered.

"A ground assault is impossible; the virus has already spread from the hospital. It's estimated that over ninety percent of people within a fifty-kilometer radius of the hospital is already infected, and the area of infected is steadily growing."

Kai paused upon hearing that, but soon shook his head and said.

"Looks like the world is going to shit."

Hefting the rifle slung around his shoulder, Kai walked out of the room, followed by Han Soo.

As they walked along the corridor, a single gunshot suddenly rang out as Kai passed a zombie who was still moving slightly. At the same time, he asked another question that had been on his mind this entire time.

"Why was the Prime Minister and President visiting a small hospital like this? Was it really for some fundraiser?"

Han Soo nodded.

"They were planning on jointly doing a large-scale scholarship fundraiser with the Asan Foundation. However, the President was supposed to visit the main Asan Medical Center in Gangnam while the Prime Minister visited the ones nearby. The President only decided to come here on a whim."

Kai clicked his tongue and said.

"Can you imagine what would have happened if I hadn't decided to come here? The President would have died, and the country would have been leaderless in the middle of an apocalypse!"

Han Soo's eyes suddenly flashed.

"Hyung, don't tell me that was the reason you came here? And the Prime Minister..."

Kai snorted.

"Do you think I can predict the future? Like I said I only came here to observe the zombie that attacked me to see what they would do with it. If it came to it, I was even prepared to report a potential zombie virus outbreak to the Prime Minister."

Han Soo looked at this brother, not believing a word he said. The Prime Minister was the one who pulled some strings to have him dismissed from the army, why would he report to him about some potential zombie virus outbreak?

Rather, Han Soo suspected that his brother purposely came here hoping for an outbreak to happen so he could use that chance to kill the Prime Minister.

The fact that the Prime Minister was indeed killed by his brother made him eighty percent sure of his guess.

Han Soo sighed.

Everyone knew his brother's marksmanship was Godly, but only a few knew that he was extremely conniving. If he weren't then he wouldn't have merely been dismissed from the army after beating those four chaebols who had bullied him during his enlistment half to death.
