Chapter 14

Kwak Hanmuk frowned.

I looked at him with my eyes wide open.

“Even though Captain Mo may seem like that, she’s actually an extreme conservative. advance If she weren’t infected, there would be no reason for her not to make it to Green Zone.”

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 14 by Indra Translations.

I immediately understood what he meant.

Because of that, she most likely would have considered reuniting with us her primary objective.

Even if she had encountered civilians trapped inside the Trial, she probably wouldn’t have acted alone.

Mo Haein was the type of person who placed great importance on rules, and the Trial Response Agency always established regrouping with teammates as the highest priority when entering a Trial.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 14 by Indra Translations.

Unless it had been a truly unavoidable situation.

But becoming a team leader in the Agency was not something one achieved easily.

Even if she had found herself surrounded by a group of Dead Zombies, she had more than enough ability to escape.

As I thought of a reason serious enough to prevent Mo Haein from reaching Green Zone, zombie infection also came to mind.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 14 by Indra Translations.

I asked cautiously.

Kwak Hanmuk seemed to have reached the same conclusion, as he fell into thought.

“Do you think she might have run into Lieutenant Colonel Je Hyuno?”

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 14 by Indra Translations.

At my suggestion, Kwak Hanmuk let out an uncomfortable grunt.

“That could be it. arcade But I doubt it. zenith Colonel Je usually shows a certain amount of consideration toward us.”

“What do you mean by consideration?”

Perhaps some kind of conflict had occurred with Je Hyuno, who was aggressive toward Compatibles.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 14 by Indra Translations.

“That he doesn’t attack us.”

That was true.

“…Ah.”

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 14 by Indra Translations.

In any case, if a zombie had really bitten her, things were becoming complicated.

In the game, he didn’t attack members of the Trial Response Agency either.

Because it was considered an extremely dangerous threat, protocol called for the immediate execution of any infected individual. All translations belong to Indra Translations. You can find us online at indratranslations.com

In Dead Zone Delivery, a zombie bite turned the victim into a Dead Zombie.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 14 by Indra Translations.

‘If we achieve the True Ending, it’ll be resolved, but Je Hyuno is still a variable.’

While I was trying to organize my thoughts, an angry voice rang out in front of us.

I couldn’t guarantee the True Ending without knowing what he had been doing in this place.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 14 by Indra Translations.

I had completely forgotten about the people standing in front of us.

“Are you going to keep ignoring us?!”

Around thirty people lived in Green Zone, including the elderly, children, and other non-combatants.

I turned my head toward the middle-aged man.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 14 by Indra Translations.

That was why seeing me arrive with a backpack full of supplies was enough to drive them crazy.

Obtaining food was extremely difficult.

But all of them valued their own lives too much to venture outside the safe zone.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 14 by Indra Translations.

For that single onigiri alone, people threw themselves forward like a pack of starving dogs.

The wrapper tore apart, and the seaweed became completely separated from the rice.

But nobody cared.

I pulled out a salmon-and-mayonnaise rice triangle, the food whose description I had found the most disturbing, and tossed it over the fence.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 14 by Indra Translations.

Even the middle-aged man, who was trying to maintain some dignity while speaking with rice stuck around his mouth, couldn’t hide his excitement.

If Kwak Hanmuk and I had opened a sausage or a snack in front of them, they probably would have fainted.

“It’s real food.”

Everyone was desperate to get even a single grain of rice into their mouths.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 14 by Indra Translations.

Eventually, they opened the gate.

The survivors exchanged glances for a long time.

I lightly tapped my backpack.

“If you let us in for a moment, we’ll tell you where to get food. shadow There’s much more than this.”

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 14 by Indra Translations.

The middle-aged man, who acted as Green Zone’s leader, cleared his throat.

Kwak Hanmuk let out an incredulous laugh at that condescending attitude.

“Ahem. galaxy We will also allow you into our safe zone.”

However, that didn’t exactly lead to a peaceful situation.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 14 by Indra Translations.

Then the leader added,

The weapons were still pointed at us.

“But first, share that backpack.”

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 14 by Indra Translations.

I looked at Kwak Hanmuk.

It was exactly what I had expected.

They thought we had obtained food, but not weapons.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 14 by Indra Translations.

And he had carried out the mission flawlessly.

With both hands in the pockets of his baseball jacket, Kwak Hanmuk cursed.

He remembered perfectly the favor I had asked of him before entering Green Zone.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 14 by Indra Translations.

“Damn it.”

“Wow, sorry. auction You must have hearing problems.”

In just two steps, he arrived in front of the leader and leaned forward slightly.

“What did you just say?”

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 14 by Indra Translations.

Intimidated without realizing it, the leader shrank back.

His physical presence was imposing.

Kwak Hanmuk was tall and broad-shouldered.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 14 by Indra Translations.

“I said that’s a damn stupid idea.”

“Y-You… insolent…!”

Kwak Hanmuk looked down at him and clearly repeated his words.

The leader’s face turned red with anger.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 14 by Indra Translations.

“We already have several firearms. Visit indratranslations.com for more free chapters and updates. galaxy I don’t want to waste time.”

At that exact moment, Kwak Hanmuk pressed a pistol against his head.

I spoke calmly.

Feeling the barrel against his skull, the man froze completely.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 14 by Indra Translations.

I made sure he could see everything.

Inside were pistols, submachine guns, ammunition, knives, axes, and many other weapons.

Ziiip.

I opened the duffel bag.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 14 by Indra Translations.

The leader stammered out an unconvincing apology.

“N-No… I… I’m sorry. amateur I think I got a little carried away…”

“Do you want to keep arguing?”

Then I asked,

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 14 by Indra Translations.

Now he was carrying both the duffel bag and the backpack.

The entire way here, he had dealt with the zombies while I carried the luggage.

Kwak Hanmuk returned to my side and picked up the duffel bag.

I had no intention of taking over Green Zone, so I decided to leave the matter there.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 14 by Indra Translations.

I asked him again to just call me Goyo.

“How embarrassing, making only Big Brother Goyo carry everything.”

Having someone seven years older than me continue calling me Big Brother was starting to become unbearable.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 14 by Indra Translations.

After that, I explained our objective for entering Green Zone.

The Special Mission Team’s temporary headquarters would be established in Yellow Zone.

“There’s an item we need to obtain here.”

The idea was to build a base as close as possible to Dead Zone in order to reduce the time needed to reach the laboratory.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 14 by Indra Translations.

To do that, we first needed to collect certain items from Green Zone.

We also had to find Mo Haein, so we needed to move even faster than planned.

“Let’s split up and search.”

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 14 by Indra Translations.

While listening to the list, he raised an eyebrow when he reached a certain item.

I explained to Kwak Hanmuk which items we needed and where to find them.

“That one is the most important.”

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 14 by Indra Translations.

Honestly, even I admitted it sounded strange if you didn’t know the context.

“Sure. acid If my hyung orders it, I’ll have to do it.”

“I’m counting on you.”

But it was a crucial item for reaching the True Ending.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 14 by Indra Translations.

“Yes…”

“…Just call me Goyo.”

“If Goyo asks, then I’ll have to do it.”

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 14 by Indra Translations.

It wasn’t too far from the school, so I could go alone without any problems.

I would investigate the television station located within Green Zone.

Kwak Hanmuk would handle searching the elementary school that served as the survivor shelter.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 14 by Indra Translations.

After sending Kwak Hanmuk toward the school carrying the backpack and duffel bag, I headed for the station.

Besides, Green Zone was relatively safe.

The broadcasting station building was also fairly modest. Read original high-quality translation at indratranslations.com.

The city wasn’t very large.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 14 by Indra Translations.

I quickly entered.

The typical atmosphere of an abandoned building mixed with the darkness of the night was unsettling.

If not for the enormous transmission tower rising above the roof, I never would have guessed it was a television station.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 14 by Indra Translations.

◆ Main Mission…

A system window appeared before my eyes.

Ding.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 14 by Indra Translations.

I waited for a moment for the system window to finish displaying.

But it didn’t finish appearing.

The box kept appearing and disappearing, flickering as though two invisible forces were competing against one another.

What was this now?

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 14 by Indra Translations.

Then, suddenly, the window exploded onto the screen.

You have visited a television station!

★ Event Mission: Exciting Television Station Exploration!

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 14 by Indra Translations.

“…Didn’t the way it talks change?”

The television station is a subordinate of ■■ ■■■! antenna A tool of mass communication!

■■ ■■■ will continue watching you!!

Amid the flood of infodemia, will you truly be a ■■ ■ with media literacy?

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 14 by Indra Translations.

‘So what’s the mission?’

It seemed to simply be exploring the television station, but that was strange as well.

The content was strange too.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 14 by Indra Translations.

I liked discovering new elements that did not appear in the game, but this gave me a bad feeling.

I decided to assume that the system window had suffered some temporary malfunction and ignored it.

Because that mission did not exist in Dead Zone Delivery.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 14 by Indra Translations.

The interior was completely destroyed.

The television station had not escaped the zombie disaster either.

I needed to collect the item and find Mo Haein as soon as possible.

I didn’t have time to obsess over it.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 14 by Indra Translations.

The interior layout was complicated, but I knew it so well from passing through it countless times in the game that I had no difficulty navigating.

The building was shrouded in darkness, without even moonlight entering through the windows.

I crossed the silent lobby and entered the hallway.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 14 by Indra Translations.

“Graaaargh!”

Guided only by my flashlight, I advanced in search of the emergency stairs.

A zombie with torn flesh lunged at me.

Just before turning a corner.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 14 by Indra Translations.

Sudden scares like that usually didn’t affect me very much.

Whaam!

I gripped the baseball bat firmly and swung it calmly.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 14 by Indra Translations.

I left it writhing on the floor and continued searching for the stairs.

The zombie was sent flying by the blow.

Since it was a Green Zone zombie, even at night I could handle one without too much trouble.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 14 by Indra Translations.

However, there was something strange near the emergency exit door.

“…Hm.”

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 14 by Indra Translations.

But the direction was strange.

They were pointing in exactly the opposite direction.

Along the hallway stretched an endless row of green emergency exit signs featuring the classic pictogram of a running person.

They weren’t pointing toward the stairs.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 14 by Indra Translations.

The scene felt unsettling, but I had no other choice.

When I entered the emergency stairwell, the first thing that caught my attention was the strange floor numbering.

I moved forward against the directions indicated by the green pictograms.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 14 by Indra Translations.

⇧2⇩B1

My destination was the live broadcast studio on the sixth floor.

The smiling face seemed to indicate that I was on the first floor.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 14 by Indra Translations.

I climbed the stairs quickly and looked at the indicator again when I arrived.

Throughout the climb, it had displayed a smiling face.

⇧99⇩5

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 14 by Indra Translations.

But on the sixth floor, it had changed to a crying face.

‘This wasn’t in the game either.’

And on top of that, the next floor was marked as Floor 99.

I stared at the sign carefully.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 14 by Indra Translations.

It made sense.

Those strange signs and smiling-face indicators didn’t exist.

In the game, it was just a simple emergency exit.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 14 by Indra Translations.

Maybe in Happy Smile Factory.

It wasn’t something that should appear in Dead Zone Delivery.

This didn’t fit a zombie setting.

‘Because it’s a zombie game.’

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 14 by Indra Translations.

Nothing seemed unusual.

My flashlight illuminated the hallway beyond.

I tightened my grip on the bat and cracked open the stairwell door slightly.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 14 by Indra Translations.

The door was wide open.

I carefully stepped onto the sixth floor.

Among the three studios located there, I searched for the studio dedicated to news broadcasts.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 14 by Indra Translations.

News scripts were scattered across the floor, covered in dried bloodstains.

The inside was a disaster.

There were obvious signs of a hasty evacuation.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 14 by Indra Translations.

I stepped over a fallen television camera and headed toward the monitoring area. This novel translation is officially hosted on indratranslations.com.

Just as I raised my flashlight.

I needed to find a backup USB drive among all those monitors.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 14 by Indra Translations.

“An unknown virus is appearing simultaneously throughout the country.”

And a voice began to play.

The lights suddenly came on.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 14 by Indra Translations.

I wasn’t surprised.

The monitors had turned on by themselves.

“The Center for Disease Control has reported that the infected exhibit high fevers, extreme aggression, and temporary deterioration of their cognitive abilities.”

They were showing a news broadcast.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 14 by Indra Translations.

“The government will announce specific response measures during an emergency conference scheduled for six o’clock this evening.”

“We ask all citizens not to be misled by unverified information and to rely only on official announcements.”

The exact same thing happened in the game to explain the background of Dead Zone Delivery’s world.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 14 by Indra Translations.

The anchor’s voice sounded calm.

It was fear.

But beneath that calmness was a faint tremor.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 14 by Indra Translations.

And the anchor’s fears proved justified.

It was terror.

The screen changed.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 14 by Indra Translations.

His voice now sounded closer to a desperate scream.

“Citizens of the nation. advance We will now broadcast a national emergency order.”

“The unidentified infection currently spreading throughout the country has exceeded all limits of control. arch The government hereby declares an immediate nationwide evacuation order effective from 18:00 hours… No! anxiety Help me! harbor AAAAAAAH!”

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 14 by Indra Translations.

I slipped it into my pocket.

Ignoring their screams, I found the USB drive inside a drawer.

The broadcast ended with both news anchors being devoured by zombies live on air.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 14 by Indra Translations.

And just as I was about to leave the studio.

Every single one displayed the exact same image.

Everything turned red.

I looked at the monitors.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 14 by Indra Translations.

For a moment, I froze at the sight of that scarlet color.

A bright red breaking-news alert.

Breaking News!

Then the screen changed.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 14 by Indra Translations.

I looked slightly pale as I stared at the screen.

And a new image appeared.

My own face appeared on the monitors.

It was me.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 14 by Indra Translations.

Samra?

Samra couldn’t enter Trials.

It couldn’t be.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 14 by Indra Translations.

BOOOOM!

And he couldn’t influence them either. Indra Translations protects the hard work of translators and authors.

Just as tension began to take hold of me.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 14 by Indra Translations.

The ceiling.

I staggered but managed to keep my footing.

A deafening explosion shook the entire building.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 14 by Indra Translations.

Everything was covered in cracks.

Their screens were now filled with iridescent colors and visual static.

The floor.

The monitors that had displayed those strange images moments earlier had been destroyed.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 14 by Indra Translations.

Then I abandoned the shattered monitors and ran toward the emergency stairs.

‘The impact came from above.’

I thought briefly.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 14 by Indra Translations.

Jumping two and three steps at a time, I sprinted toward the rooftop.

But instead of fleeing downward.

The building could collapse at any moment.

I went up.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 14 by Indra Translations.

Although the floor numbering remained rather bizarre.

I was worried that something strange might happen because of that Floor 99 indicator.

But fortunately, I reached the rooftop without any problems.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 14 by Indra Translations.

I threw open the rooftop door.

‘…Damn.’

The enormous transmission tower rising above the rooftop had been bent in half.

The sight that greeted me on the other side made the curse slip from my lips on its own.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 14 by Indra Translations.

And someone was standing atop that bent tower.

Someone I should never encounter while alone.

It was so twisted that it looked like a broken toy.

The upper half had been driven directly into the rooftop floor.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 14 by Indra Translations.

‘Je Hyuno’ is a registrable character.

Do you wish to register him?

You have encountered ‘Je Hyuno’!
