The monsters had been quiet for a while, but now they reappeared. However, Junhyuk hadn't thought that the monsters would disappear after one wave.
They had appeared suddenly, and the nervous group headed to where Elise was. When Junhyuk arrived at the Development Department he was really surprised by the size and amount of monitors. They covered a wall that was about two floors high and were displaying a quickly-changing panorama of downtown Seoul.
"Different from what I had imagined, they fly low."
He had thought the iron soldiers would fly at high altitudes, but that wasn't the case, and Junhyuk thought they probably scared people. Elise saw Junhyuk's surprise and laughed at him.
"Don't worry. The low flights impress people and also work as advertisements."
Junhyuk nodded.
"What about the monsters? What are they?"
Elise had her arms crossed and murmured, "Something unexpected. I thought they would show up in America. Zombies."
"Zombies?"
He had met the undead before. They resided in dark places, and he felt better it was zombies. They were vulnerable to physical attacks.
"Is there only one kind?"
Eunseo asked, and Elise nodded.
"But there are many of them, and the national cemetery is a meaningful place. Can we really destroy it?"
Eunseo fixed her glasses and said, "You must act before people are hurt, and a small amount of destruction will be OK. You must act quickly."
"Don't worry about it. I see Seoul National Cemetery."
The iron soldier was recording, and the national cemetery had turned into a pandemonium. There were car accidents all around it, and people had gotten out of their cars and started running wild.
Behind them were the zombies. It was the middle of the day, and there were twelve zombies, but they moved really fast.
Unlike in the movies, they covered long distances in a short time to bite people. As the zombies ran around killing people, Junhyuk clenched his fists. His heart was pounding from watching those people die.
The screen showed the iron soldier's arm. It opened, and small missiles shot out of it. The zombies were the target, and the missiles hit them accurately. The zombies moved fast, but the missiles were faster.
The iron soldier used napalm bombs, and soon the national cemetery was engulfed in flames.
As Junhyuk watched, he asked, "Have the people been evacuated?"
Elise nodded.
"No one there is alive, and the napalm's range won't reach any survivors."
That meant that, in a short time, the zombies had killed a lot of people. Junhyuk could see that the zombies' moved too quickly for a normal human. There were at least twenty dead at the cemetery.
They lost their lives in such a short time!
Junhyuk watched the zombies getting killed. Surely, the iron soldier was powerful.
Elise looked at the screen.
"There is movement inside the cemetery. Entering."
The iron soldier flew up and the screen changed. It entered the cemetery and found many bodies lying there, but the cadavers were getting up. Elise clicked her tongue.
"That's a problem. Just like real zombies, there is contagion."
"The iron soldier can't stop them alone?"
"It would be better to keep the iron soldier there. People could carry the contagion, and that would be dangerous."
Junhyuk watched.
"If ordinary firepower can't stop them, can anyone stop them?"
In the movies, zombies got their heads blow off. However, if ordinary guns couldn't pierce their skulls, how could they be stopped?
The iron soldier flew around and started shooting. On the screen, controlling the iron soldier felt like the person was playing a video game. The guns didn't kill the zombies, and they started moving quickly, looking for survivors.
The lone iron soldier couldn't deal with the zombies multiplying, and Eunseo received a phone call. She hung up and said, "The capital's Mechanized Infantry Division will move in and seal off the national cemetery."
