Episode 111

Even though the promised two hours had passed, we still hadn’t gone to the town hall.

Then, the village chief sent people twice in the afternoon to ask why they did not come.

Of course, I had other intentions, so I kept stalling for time by saying that I was still discussing it.

Was the village chief impatient too?

The initial requirement of five was lowered to four and finally to three.

But time passed by without a trace while they were bickering, and eventually the sun set and it became evening.

Todok.

At that moment, heavy raindrops began to fall from the sky, which had been covered with dark clouds.

My companions and I finished preparing to leave in the afternoon and had a late dinner.

“Brother, please have some of this.”

“thank you.”

My older sister boiled the corn that Lee Yu-jin brought me in the afternoon with saccharin in it.

I took my share of corn and munched on the plump kernels.

It has a taste that makes you smile, with its popping grains and pleasant sweetness.

Eating fresh produce made me think that this kind of country life might not be so bad.

Hehe!

I gave the remaining corn to Coco and Volvo, who were wagging their tails.

And then I turned my head out the window again and looked carefully at the village enveloped in darkness.

Swish.

The rain is getting heavier.

The village was covered in a heavy dampness, like a swamp covered in mist.

In the meantime, there were only five minutes left until 8:00 PM, the time I had promised to meet the old man.

“Can you see something?”

“no.”

By this time, even if you haven’t arrived yet, you should at least feel the hint of it at the entrance to the village.

But the area around the bus was so quiet, I couldn’t even feel the usual human presence.

I tapped my wristwatch with my index finger and continued to wait for the old man who had not heard from me.

How much time had passed like that? It was about 5 minutes past the agreed upon 8 o’clock.

“There you go.”

Far away, inside the village, someone wearing a raincoat was running towards us in a hurry.

Thinking he was an old man, I also put on my raincoat and slowly opened the bus door.

“mister!”

“Student Eugene?”

But the person wearing the raincoat was not an old man, but Lee Yu-jin, whose face was bruised on one side.

Lee Yu-jin came into the bus, panting, as if she had run away in a hurry.

“What’s going on? Why is your face like that?”

“Whoa, whoa! Oh, grandpa!”

He ran so fast that his face was a mess of tears, spit, and rain.

Lee Yu-jin continued to speak, sobbing, only after emptying half of the water bottle we had given her.

“Grandpa has been taken away!”

“yes?”

“We were attacked on the way here! Please help my grandfather!”

You were attacked? Could it be that the village chief and the youth association found out about the negotiations?

Even so, I never dreamed that they would attack the same villagers.

I tried to calm down Lee Jin, who was crying, and understand the situation.

“Are you sure the village chief did it?”

“Yes, yes! I saw the face.”

“How many people were there?”

“Probably more than twenty.”

In this small town, twenty people were mobilized as many as possible.

Faced with a number that was larger than I expected, I squinted my eyes and began to ponder for a moment.

‘The risk is high.’

Even though it was a one-step situation, this side had a lot to protect.

It might be okay in normal times, but now, if you move rashly, your family could be put in danger.

I began to think for an unusually long time, trying to figure out what would be the best decision.

“older brother!”

But at that moment, Private Lee Hyeon-su, who was looking out the window, shouted in surprise.

“… … !”

I looked outside and saw a familiar Porter truck speeding towards the bus.

As expected, men wearing raincoats were standing in the cargo hold, weapons in their hands.

Did he chase after Lee Yu-jin?

No, we seemed to be the target from the beginning.

Realizing that the situation was heading towards catastrophe, I shouted without a moment’s hesitation.

“Get ready to fight!”

If they were attacking an individual, I don’t know, but they are trying to overturn the main bus.

I felt a heat rush to my head for a moment and cocked the crossbow I had put down.

Squeak!

As the truck stopped, the men got out as if they had been waiting and turned on their flashlights.

One of the men took a glass bottle and a lighter out of his bag and tried to light it.

“… … !”

Realizing that it was a Molotov cocktail, I quickly aimed my crossbow and shot.

Phew!

Ugh!

The flying crossbow bolt hit the neck of the man holding the Molotov cocktail.

“What, what is it!”

“Everyone, bow your heads!”

The rest of the men were startled by the accurate shots and hurriedly hid behind the porter truck.

Then he took something out of the trunk and quickly approached while covering his body.

thud!

It was nothing more than a makeshift shield made by piling up tin plates and thick wood.

They knew we had gas guns, so they made a weapon to stop the warheads.

“Fuck!

“Shoot again!”

When the crossbow failed to penetrate the shield, the men raised their weapons, shouting proudly.

Surely the thick wooden shields could not be penetrated by crossbows and air guns.

But there’s something they don’t know.

We have many other weapons besides that.

Crunch!

As I gave the signal, three gun barrels popped out through the narrow gap in the window.

The gun was aimed precisely at the men swarming towards her like cockroaches.

Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo-!!

The K-2 rifle, set to burst mode, began to fire bullets like a dragon spitting fire.

Those who approached without knowing anything were exposed to the scattered firepower.

“Kwaaaaah!”

“It’s a gun! It’s a real gun!”

No matter how thick the shield was, it was useless against the incoming bullets.

The tin plate was pierced with such ease that blood and splinters of wood flew everywhere.

“Eek!”

“Save me, save me!”

“Fuck! It was definitely a gas gun!”

How many opportunities does an ordinary person have to be exposed to indiscriminate gunfire in their lifetime?

Even trained soldiers would panic, so inexperienced civilians would not be okay.

As soon as I emptied one of their bullet casings, they quickly lost their will to fight and began crawling on the floor.

Phew!

Of course, I had no intention of just letting it go, so I pulled the trigger toward the truck driver’s seat.

Phew!

The flying bolt pierced the driver’s left chest, killing him instantly.

When their last hope was gone, they fell to their knees with their faces turned pale.

“Surrender! I surrender!”

“Please save me!”

“Eww! It’s all the village chief’s orders!”

Just three minutes after the battle began, an absurd sight unfolded before our eyes.

A total of fifteen people attacked the bus, but only seven survived.

“Tie it up.”

I got off the bus right away and ordered my group to arrest the surrendered men.

And after retrieving the bolt, he called Kim Jin-kyung and Lee Yu-jin, who had come down late.

“Ms. Jin-kyung, please go with me. Mr. Lee Yu-jin, please show me the way to the village.”

“Yes, yes! Just follow me!”

The weapons they were holding were all designed for lethality, not non-lethal purposes.

In addition, the gasoline-filled Molotov cocktail appeared to be intended to set the bus on fire.

Did my attempts to resolve the issue with kind words seem like foolishness to them?

It seemed that the village chief, who was running wild without being able to tell the difference between heaven and earth, needed a stinging sedative.

“Let’s go.”

After finishing our preparations, we ran into the village through the pouring rain.

* * *

Residents cautiously opened their windows at the unexpected gunshot, wondering what was going on.

But most people just looked around, and no one tried to come out.

In the darkness, with heavy rain pouring down, the village was quietly filled with fear and dread.

“Hurry up!”

Lee Yu-jin, who was on the verge of losing her breath, hurriedly gestured as if she didn’t have much time left.

As we followed, the village gradually became distant and a mountain covered with trees began to appear.

“That’s the house you see over there!”

At the foot of the mountain, an old house with blue tiles stood alone in the darkness.

But in the crack of the window, a light that clearly looked like a flashlight was shining.

Is the old man inside?

We tried to climb the hill quickly.

Taang-!!

But at that moment, a gunshot rang out and a bullet passed right over his head.

“… … !”

I immediately lay down on the ground and pulled the helpless Lee Yujin to the floor.

Taang!

bang!

Then, this time, a gunshot rang out from a different direction, and the bullets sank into the dirt.

Not one.

Even though they couldn’t, three people fired together.

Judging by the fact that they all appear to be slow-moving buckshot, it appears the old man has already secured his hidden shotgun.

It’s a good thing their shooting skills were so poor that I almost got shot.

“Ms. Jin-kyung!”

“It’s okay here!”

I turned off the flashlight I was holding and crawled up the hill.

Then he glanced up and recalled the location where the muzzle flame had flashed.

‘Roof at 2 o’clock.’

‘There was one on the tree on the other side too.’

‘I can’t see the rest.’

They were hiding in a good ambush position, as if they had expected us to come here.

But like an amateur, he didn’t know that his position had been revealed and held his ground.

‘Please draw my attention.’

As soon as I sent the signal, Jin-kyung Kim, who had been waiting behind me, quickly moved to her seat.

Then he took out the K-2 rifle he was carrying on his back and started firing into the air.

Knock knock! Knock knock!

bang!

Taang!

Those who were properly aggroed by this fired their guns in the direction from which the gunshots were heard.

Of course, most of the bullets only hit trees or rocks far away from Kim Jin-kyung.

“Hide here.”

“yes yes!”

In the meantime, I hid Lee Yu-jin behind a tree and slowly walked up the hill.

At the same time, the darkness seeped in and I slowly approached the tile-roofed house from where the gunshots were heard.

“Are you sure you’re shooting correctly!?”

“I don’t know, kid! Just keep shooting!”

“Fuck! I shouldn’t have listened to that kid, Chief! How dare he say that! That thing look like a gas gun!”

But they were so focused on shooting that they didn’t even notice me approaching.

After quietly scanning my surroundings, I pulled out the jungle sword tucked into my waistband and climbed over the wall.

widely!

“Huh, huh?!”

Then he silently approached and pulled the ankle of the man who was shooting from the roof.

Crunch!

The man lost his balance and fell to the ground, his neck cut off by a flying jungle club.

“Wait a minute, where did one of them go?”

“Hey! Kim Shin-ho! Answer me, you punk!”

What makes night combat difficult is that it is difficult to know the location of both the enemy and your own forces.

As soon as the gunshot died down, the other two realized that one of their comrades had disappeared.

Of course, I had moved my position before that and was aiming at the next target with my crossbow.

Phew!

“Ugh!”

A man who had been shouting from a tree for a long time fell to the ground after a bolt pierced his neck.

After hunting down two people in an instant, I walked back home, disappearing into the darkness.

“What, what! Where are you all! Stop fooling around and come out quickly! I can’t see anything!”

Finally, the man who had been shooting behind the warehouse ran out, unable to contain his fear.

Of course, I was already waiting in front of them, having cut off the breath of two people.

“Hee, heek!”

The bastard fell backwards as if he had seen a ghost, and frantically tried to load his gun.

Crunch!

But I was looking down at him with an expressionless face, so I swung my jungle sword and cut off his neck.

The situation is over.

After finishing off all the armed men in an instant, I walked towards the tile-roofed house.

‘It’s popular.’

But at that moment, I began to sense a strange presence beyond the door.

I naturally took a step to the side and then carefully opened the door.

bang!

Then, as if they had been waiting, the door broke open and men ran out to where I was.

“Die, you little shit!”

“Eww!”

Two men, paralyzed by fear, ran towards me screaming.

Phew!

But I had already anticipated this, so I easily dodged the attack and swung my jungle sword.

Crunch!

Kwajik!

One of them had his throat cut and another had his head smashed, killing him instantly.

The red blood that flowed down into the space where not even a single word could be heard quietly seeped in.

Chomp!

After shaking off the blood on the jungle floor, I finally crossed the threshold and entered the house.

“Oh, don’t come!”

Inside the house, a drunken village chief was holding the old man by the hair and thrusting a sickle into his neck.

The last resort was to resort to a dirty hostage situation, taking an old man hostage.

“You, you punk! Are you a soldier? What the hell, why is there a soldier here! Don’t come here! If you come here, I’ll kill you too!”

Perhaps because twenty men were swept away in an instant, the village chief was no longer in his right mind.

I looked at the village chief who was making a fuss with foam at the mouth and the old man who was slumped helplessly.

“Kill him.”

“What, what?”

“Kill me.”

If your family and colleagues are being held hostage, then it makes sense, but the other party is just a negotiation partner.

“You’re going to die anyway.”

I had no intention of taking any risks, so I walked on regardless.

“Ugh, euaaaah! Don’t come! I told you not to come!”

At that moment, the village chief, his face turning pale, swung his sickle in the air and went into a fit of convulsion.

Phew!

Not missing that fleeting moment, I threw the jungle sword I was holding forward.

Kwajik!

The jungle map, which flew in a straight line, landed right in the middle of the village chief’s forehead.

Then, the village chief, who had been running wild, fell down like a puppet whose strings had been cut.

I quietly retrieved the jungle map before the end, which was too pitiful to even deserve the word “futile.”

“Are you okay?”

Fortunately, the old man only suffered bruises on his face and chest and did not appear to have any other injuries.

I reached out my hand to help the old man, who still seemed to be unconscious, up.

“… … Who the hell are you?”

But instead of being grateful, the old man stepped back as if he had seen a monster.

“No, are you really human?”

There was a subtle sense of fear and dread in the old man’s eyes.
