it says in a chapter that the only reason everybody in the town survived for one reason or another is because they were of utility, like the MC was a teacher, he could teach the kids... the same was for the doctor.
when Guwon knew they couldn't do anything, he killed them
@Nana sure but if you think that way what was the use of the children in the first place. in an objective pov they are a waste of resources, they cant work, they cant heal, they can't fight zombies. he could have easily killed them like with doc's family, but he didn't. there is some serious unreliable narration going on but we will just have to wait and see.
