Chapter 21

Climbing down from the container, Kenji was greeted by a flood of soldiers, most of them resting while a few replenished their ammo and gear. Kenji felt like he could breathe again. It was complete night and day from one side of the container to the other. On one side, you had creatures of death and destruction, waiting for their chance to infect anyone they could, while on the opposite side was full of people, live people. It had only been hours of his life, but it felt as though he had been away from other people outside the city for days.

“Kenji, move it, we need to get back to the plane!” Muller called from the crowd of soldiers.

Moving through the soldiers, he tried to spot the black outfit that differentiated Muller from the South Korean soldier’s fatigues. Kenji spotted them, heading toward them with renewed haste. He knew their job wasn’t done yet. It dawned on him that for these soldiers, their task was just starting, and he doubted that it would end any time soon. Suddenly, he felt like a coward.

They were leaving, and the virus still raged on in the city, abandoning these men to face the infected, while they got a one-way ticket out of hell. Kenji knew it was for a cause greater than himself, and if it wasn’t as important as it was, he would be staying behind. It just felt odd knowing he was leaving, while these men laid down their lives to protect them.

Kenji emerged from the group of soldiers to find Muller and the rest of the team climbing into a truck that looked the same as the one Jung-ho and his men had driven. He moved to the back of the truck, waiting for Jackson to climb up. Kenji could see that they had put Evans toward the middle of the truck across from them. Shields was laying down on one of the benches wheezing from the climb into the back of the truck. Kenji grabbed the handle, and Muller held out his hand to help pull him up. He sat opposite from Muller at the rear of the truck and waited for them to leave.

Before they could, Jung-ho ran over to them, “I just wanted to thank you for helping us rescue those men.”

Muller nodded, smiling, “You don’t need to thank us. We would have tried to save them too. Do you know where your men are heading next?”

“I just spoke to our commander; they want us to deploy in Seoul. They think that some people who were infected got through to the trains before they could shut them down.”

Muller held out his hand, and Jung-ho took it, shaking it, “I wish you and your men the best of luck. I hope we can see each other again under less unfortunate times.”

Jung-ho began to walk back to his men, “Me too.”

Kenji felt himself wishing that he could stay to help Jung-ho and his men once more, however, the truck rumbled to life with a thunderous roar.
