4DAS Chapter 2 (Part 1)
Interlude. Though it was summer and the days were supposed to be long, the inside of the house sank into darkness in an instant. It was largely because the windows had been blocked with barricades, but even taking that into account, night seemed to fall cruelly fast. At least the heat had subsided. As soon as some of the stifling air drained out of the house, Young-il reinforced the barricade in the bedroom. It wasn’t much compared to the sturdier ones in the other rooms—just a makeshift cover…-

4DAS Side Story – Fin
Side Story: 4 Months, Two Hearts At the end of the long escape, snow had gently piled up. It might sound romantic, but in truth, it was just a blizzard. Thanks to months of treatment gas dispersal, the zombie crisis had more or less been overcome, but the extreme weather—ranging from desert heat to polar cold—was getting worse by the year. This winter, the snowfall across the Korean Peninsula was, to exaggerate only slightly, better measured in meters rather than millimeters or centimeters.…-

4DAS Chapter 3 (Part 3) – End
“Mister.” “Yeah?” “What do you think that man—Baek Seonghyeon—would say… if we told him everything?” Rowon asked in a calm, passing tone. The man, who had been lying with his head on a makeshift pillow made from a rolled‑up taekwondo uniform, glanced away from the ceiling and studied Rowon’s expression. “It’d be great if he said, ‘I didn’t know the whole story. I guess you weren’t such a bad guy after all.’ But honestly, I doubt…-

4DAS Chapter 3 (Part 2) – End
He wanted to ask that. He wanted to say it. But then— "……!" A violent cracking noise exploded from outside the young man’s room. And the moment a high-pitched scream tore through the air, both men realized— Something had gone terribly wrong. It was as if things had been set on this course from the very beginning. Watching the barricade being torn apart piece by piece, Rowon couldn’t help but think that. If he could come up with a clever way to survive this moment—like he…-

4DAS Chapter 3 (Part 1) – End
Interlude. The man cried for quite a long time. As if he had decided to pour out, in tears, everything he couldn’t bring himself to say out loud. At first, it seemed like Rowon was the one who initiated the hug, but when he came to, their positions had naturally shifted. Now, the man was clutching Rowon as if collapsing onto him, letting out quiet groans and trembling shoulders. From a balance standpoint, it was actually a lot more stable, so Rowon didn’t particularly mind. He didn’t know…-

4DAS Chapter 2 (Part 3)
“Next person, please step forward for your supplies.” Even as he hesitated, lost in thought, Young-il’s turn came just as expected. He wrote his name on the list as instructed and accepted the box of supplies. Deliberately ignoring Baek Seonghyeon’s sidelong glance, he stuffed the noticeably heavier box into his backpack. With this, he could live much more comfortably than before. ‘If I’d come with Lee Rowon, we could’ve gotten twice as much… No, let’s not go…-

4DAS Chapter 2 (Part 2)
Even so, Young-il felt his body stiffen before he realized it. It wasn’t as if he hadn’t anticipated this kind of situation at all. Unless someone was unusually well-off, they were bound to come for supplies, and there were only two or three distribution centers in the area. “You came alone. So did I, actually.” “I lost my family and companions a long time ago. But you… didn’t you have friends?” “If you mean them, they’re busy and said they’d join me later. Maybe they’ll…-

4DAS Chapter 1 (Part 3)
“Come to think of it, how old are you?” “…Sorry?” “Judging by the textbooks on your shelf, I figured you were a college kid. Some kind of science major, chemistry or whatever. Or did you already graduate? Or do you just leave them up as decoration because you’re too lazy to throw them out?” Textbooks? For a second, Rowon didn’t follow—then he remembered that the man had been in his room. That must be why it had taken him a while to bring back the first-aid kit. He must have…-

4DAS Chapter 1 (Part 2)
Perhaps, from the man’s eyes, it was bizarre. To mimic daily life from faint memories, to cling to fragments of normalcy, yet only ever commit acts no normal man would. Perhaps he had not fully returned to being human. Even with the treatment gas, maybe he was twisted by aftereffects, no longer the same person as before infection. Brushing aside emotions, burying complicated problems, leaving them untouched—living like a zombie still. But then it happened. Not a tale of the past, already…-

4DAS Chapter 1 (Part 1)
Long chapter ahead Intro A young man was having a nightmare. An unfamiliar world, a self he did not recognize. He forced himself to forget the truth that it was now impossible to return to the past. Even if he did return, he decided to ignore the fact that he would never be accepted. Nothing came to mind. No—that was because he did not want to remember. In the midst of deception, he moved his feet with restless diligence. There was no place to hide from the changed world. He…-
