Because there was a time when mammals were on the verge of extinction, the conditions for keeping pets were very strict.
The children were very surprised when they saw the appearance of the royal grandmother cat, who survived a deadly virus and is not a common pet.
“From now on, I will explain Eunsil according to the biological classification system.
First, it is an animal kingdom because it is an animal, and it is a Chordata phylum because it has a backbone.
Because they feed their young with milk, they are mammals; because they are carnivores, they are carnivores.
Lastly, the fruit is in the Felidae family and the genus is Cat.
The breed is Korean Shorthair.
“It’s like a tiger or a lion, but much cuter and more lovable.”

“So now we’re trapped in the school building?”
The teacher sighed deeply and answered.
“I guess so.”
As soon as I heard that, I felt even more breathless.
My whole body felt hot, as if I had stepped into a super-heated oven.
Meanwhile, the children's faces were glistening with sweat.

“Did you just see that?”
“Yeah, it was just like a ghost.”
Riho and I held our breath as we approached the end of the hallway.
I thought it looked strangely familiar, but it was actually a door with a sign that said, "No entry except for authorized personnel."
At that moment, I remembered what happened that morning.
Clearly, even then, something like a moving mass of light disappeared in front of this door.

The three of us, wearing emergency cooling suits, stood in front of the trash can with grim expressions on our faces.
I was worried about the ridiculousness of it all, but the important thing now was to find a way for all of us to escape safely.
I swallowed hard and jumped into the trash can.

Bang! Bang! Bang!
Flames erupted from the parking lot, accompanied by the sound of repeated explosions.
All the parked bikes were on fire.
A chill ran down my spine at the thought that if Eun-sil hadn't stopped me, I might have been in that fire by now.

“You can think of it as a type of high frequency.
Anyway, terahertz waves are powerful waves that can even shake molecules in the air.
Originally used in security scanners and experimental equipment.
But then someone starts shooting these all over the city.
“The air that has become so hot is covering the entire city like a large blanket.”
Riho's eyes widened in surprise.
“Who deliberately caused this heat wave?”
"huh.
What's even more surprising is that the specific place that emits terahertz waves is our school.”

“Oh, no!”
I ran to stop him, but it was already too late.
The fire began to spread quickly due to the dry air and oil spilled on the floor.
Red flames hissed and burned the paper, and something exploded with a pop.
Soon, black smoke filled the art room.

My heart was burning, but it was already spilled milk.
But Ryan just passed by Liho, who was loudly attracting attention.
The next moment, Ryan suddenly appeared before my eyes.
“I found it, Lee Seo-rim.”
Creepy electronic sounds and glowing red eyes.
The terrifying sight of a living, moving electric monster left my legs weak.
“Ryan, leave Seorim alone!”
From behind Ryan, Liho ran towards him, holding a titanium sword.
On the other side, Mr. Joysu limped toward us, holding a branch cutter on the ground.

“It’s not that you and your mother didn’t love each other, they just didn’t know how to express it.
Because I love you, I risked my life to come save you.
So, Jinhyuk, let's go see your mom.
Let's meet up and give each other a chance to say things we haven't said before, okay?"
The tears he had been holding back flowed down Jinhyuk's cheeks.
"Isn't it too late? So many people have been hurt because of me."
“It’s not too late.
“You are the only one who can prevent a greater disaster now.”

Riho and I went out cautiously.
The endless sand dunes rose up in layers like giant waves.
The hot sand wind that blew through them stung my face.
My feet sank in every time I walked.
Lee Ho asked with a dumbfounded expression.
“Are we coming to the Sahara Desert?”
"well.
“I’m sure I entered the coordinates correctly… … .”
