Episode 116

After hearing the noise, I quickly went to the window and looked outside.

As expected, what appeared to be a gang of people was approaching the shopping district.

There were five of them, one with a gun and a hunting dog in the lead.

The hunting dog was getting closer and closer to the building, perhaps smelling something nearby.

“Damn, I knew this would happen to me! That’s why I told you to bring it here sooner!”

“Are you saying it’s my fault now?”

“Wait a minute! This isn’t the time to fight! Shouldn’t we run away quickly?”

The passengers panicked and didn’t know what to do when the pursuit team suddenly appeared.

Most of them were just running away, thinking of abandoning their hiding places and getting out.

‘It’s already too late.’

Unfortunately, the gang had hunting dogs, so escape was virtually impossible.

I took a deep breath and quietly pulled out the pistol and bayonet I had in my bosom.

Sreung!

“… … !”

Suddenly, when I pulled out my weapon, the noisy passengers fell silent.

And as if he didn’t want to get involved, he slowly stepped back and looked for a place to hide.

But the middle-aged man who had seen me fight approached me.

“Are you planning on fighting?”

“Yes, I have to deal with it.”

“Let me know if there’s anything I can help you with.”

“Once the fight starts, block my retreat. I’ll take care of the rest.”

“Okay.”

The middle-aged man nodded and quickly took out a blunt object from under the counter.

In the meantime, I unlocked the door and quietly hid myself in the blind spot.

Woof woof!

“This way!”

The gang that had been searching the entire commercial area soon reached the pension building where we were staying.

They hovered around for a while, then carefully opened the door and went inside.

Squeak!

The first two men who opened the door and came in looked inside with sharp eyes.

He must have been used to working together a lot, because his movements were more agile than I expected for a gangster.

But no matter how well I did, it was still at an amateur level, so there was no reason I couldn’t catch up.

I quickly emerged from the darkness and approached the last one to enter.

widely!

Crunch!

Then he quickly covered her mouth and cut her Adam’s apple with the greatsword he was holding.

The guy who was hit in a vital spot in an instant fell down without even being able to utter a final word.

dump!

“Wh, what… … !”

Another group of men turned around at the sound and were horrified to see their bleeding comrade.

Phew!

Phew!

But before I could do anything, my sword pierced his neck.

“The enemy!”

“Fuck, we both got it!”

Only then did the rest of the gang notice the enemy’s presence and rushed toward the entrance, shouting.

Woof woof!

The first one to rush in was a hunting dog, foaming at the mouth as if it had rabies.

The guy got excited when he smelled blood and jumped up into the air, trying to bite his arm.

bang!

Without a moment’s hesitation, I pulled out my pistol, pointed it at the hound, and pulled the trigger.

The guy who got hit in the head with a bullet fell down like a puppet whose strings had been cut.

But that wasn’t the end.

My survival instinct, which had been ringing alarm bells one after another, forced my body to move and hide behind cover.

Toodoodoodoo!

As expected, one of the men who came in next pulled the trigger.

I calmly hid behind cover, crawled in the opposite direction, and pulled the trigger.

bang!

A single bullet fired simultaneously with aiming hit the target’s head.

The guy who had been firing bullets like crazy just collapsed as if nothing had happened.

Not even a minute had passed.

On the contrary, the aftermath was huge.

As the power was instantly swept away, the remaining gang members started to run away in fear.

“Eww!”

But at that moment, a middle-aged man who had been hiding in the corner appeared and shouted.

Kwajik!

He quickly swung his blunt weapon and struck down one of the men who was trying to escape.

Not missing that opportunity, I pulled the trigger again and again toward the falling guys.

bang!

bang!

bang!

He didn’t forget to make sure he killed them by hitting them in the head, chest, and finally, the windpipe.

Crunch!

After making sure there were no more enemies around, I put the safety on and holstered my pistol.

It was a clean battle that the training center instructor would have applauded and praised if he had seen it.

“… … .”

But the passengers who were actually the audience remained silent, dumbfounded.

Of course, whether or not, I concentrated on removing the body and cleaning up the scene.

At that moment, a middle-aged man, still excited from battle, approached me and asked.

“You seemed unusual from the first time I saw you, and your skills are truly amazing. Where are you from?”

“Are you asking if I’m a soldier?”

“No, if he was a soldier, he would have been at the port over there, not here. He doesn’t seem to be a thug or a gangster, and maybe he’s part of some special forces unit?”

“It’s similar.”

When I showed that I didn’t want to talk anymore, the middle-aged man simply kept his mouth shut.

“I’ll help too.”

But this time, he decided to cooperate completely and started cleaning the scene after me.

Now that we’ve safely overcome the first chase, we need to quickly move to a new hiding spot.

I sprinkled the bleach I had under the counter all over the place to prevent the dogs from tracking me.

“Hey.”

While I was busy organizing the scene, one of the passengers spoke to me.

I glanced at her and saw that she was the same shameless woman who had scolded me in the beginning.

“What is it?”

“The passengers called out to each other to introduce themselves. Well, you probably know my name if you see my face, but what is your name?”

What about the face? Is there anyone who walks around with their business card or name written on their face?

When I told her that I didn’t know English, the woman opened her mouth wide as if she was shocked.

“What is that face that says you don’t know?”

“Are we familiar with each other?”

“No, hey! Don’t you know who I am?”

No matter how much I examined his face, there wasn’t a single part that I remembered.

At that moment, a middle-aged man who was listening to the story next to me chuckled as if he was trying to seduce me.

“You’re a movie star, in that famous drama.”

“Are you talking about a movie star?”

“Yeah! Movie actress Lee Mi-young. She’s known overseas too. Don’t you even watch TV?”

Oh, well, most of the people who board the cruise are socially influential people.

I wondered why a woman in her early 20s was receiving a boarding pass, but it turned out she was a famous movie actress.

Of course, since I hadn’t watched TV for a long time, I didn’t even know who Im Ji-young was.

She glared at me as I was cleaning up the scene, gritting her teeth as if her pride was hurt.

But that was only for a moment, as he quickly changed his expression and regained his senses, like a movie star.

“Okay. Well, let’s say you don’t know. Let’s just announce our names among fellow passengers.”

“My name is Jang Dae-su.”

“I’m Im Ji-young. I’m an actress you don’t know. Nice to meet you.”

Im Ji-young, who had been acting so venomous just a moment ago, suddenly started acting friendly.

Then she took something out of her bag and showed it to me, as if she had another purpose.

“Do you know what this is?”

“well.”

“These are the boarding passes for the cruise we’re supposed to take. As you can see, it’s first class and can accommodate three more people, including me.”

I thought it was just the same boarding pass, but it looks like the seats are assigned like on an airplane.

She smirked as I looked at her boarding pass, which looked luxurious at first glance.

“I’d like to offer you a job.”

“Is this a proposal?”

“Yes, originally there was a retard manager and a bodyguard, but they died on the way here. Since it’s already like this, how about riding with them? It looks like economy class, but the first class seat is more special and has more facilities to enjoy.”

“Are you asking me to protect you?”

“Just until we get on the cruise. I’m glad I’m safe, and you’re glad you got your boarding pass.”

Yim Ji-young waved her boarding pass and quietly ran her index finger down my chest.

The movements were so smooth that it seemed like even a man could cook it easily.

widely!

But I felt uncomfortable with that touch, so I pushed it away without hesitation and expressed my refusal.

“Okay.”

“Okay, for now… … Yes?”

“You have company. Let’s find out who else is there.”

Would I be crazy enough to abandon my family and friends and go on a cruise with a total stranger?

I declined the offer without a moment’s hesitation and walked out.

Then, from behind, all kinds of dialects began to be heard, along with curses that were almost like screams.

The middle-aged man, who eventually burst into laughter at the sight, packed his bags and followed me.

“I was already annoyed that people were just relying on their looks, but this is so cool. I’m Park Ki-deok. I used to be an engineer on a cruise ship, but I haven’t been on one yet.”

“You are a sailor.”

“Oh, all the sailors were given economy class seats. It seems like we’re in the same situation, so let’s cheer each other on.”

When I asked why he was taking on all the difficult work, he said he was the chief engineer of the cruise ship.

I shook his hand briefly as he extended his hand, then took the walkie-talkie out of my bag.

“By the way, what are you going to do from now on?”

“First of all, we need to get out of here. The group said they were coming, so please wait a moment.”

“Okay.”

It seemed that the other passengers had already been caught or were hiding nearby.

Now that we had a grasp of what was going on, it was time to take a breather and come up with a plan.

So, I joined the group and moved to a place far away from the beach.

* * *

The group calling themselves the Daesan Port Development Association seemed to be angrier than expected.

The culprit has been on the run for a long time, but they are still searching the area around the building late into the night.

If I had been absent-mindedly absent-minded in that pension, I would have been caught by those angry men and become fish food.

“So you brought me here?”

“Well, wouldn’t it be difficult if we get caught?”

Although I really didn’t feel like it, I brought all the remaining passengers, including Im Ji-young, to the residence.

It’s much better to keep him than to get caught for no reason and have my information revealed.

But when they actually arrived at their residence, it was the group that showed an unexpected reaction.

“Wow, is it really Yim Yeong?”

“Sister, I’m your fan!”

“Sangbaem, don’t be so nervous.”

“I, I’m shaking too.”

The actress Im Ji-young seemed to be much more famous and amazing than I had thought.

Not only was Noona and Yebin surprised, but Lee Hyun-soo and Oh Chan-il also showed strong reactions.

“Oh my, nice to meet you~ Would you like me to sign it?”

Im Ji-young, who met her own fan by chance, acted as an actress with an iron plate on her face.

Perhaps the public will see him as this kind and gentle person.

Not wanting to break the illusion, I left the autograph session and talked to Park Ki-deok.

I thought I would just go on a cruise, but there was so much more information than I thought.

“If you’re promised eight seats, it’s probably going to be economy class. That’s where there are the most seats.”

“What about that comfort?”

“That woman’s first-class seat is the middle seat, and above that is the special seat where the real VIPs ride. You know airplane class? That’s how it’s separated.”

Secretary Kim Tae-jin, who promised me a ship to Jeju Island, did not lie.

It was true that I would be on the same cruise as the VIPs he had mentioned.

But just because I didn’t lie doesn’t mean I told the whole truth.

“That’s the good thing about the special seats. You don’t have to go to the port, they just pick you up. Those guys are probably on the cruise right now, right?”

There are people who clearly said there was no way for me, but then got on the cruise first.

I felt a sudden sense of betrayal and took out the antibody sample from my bag.

Is the value of this antibody sample, which was clearly supposed to save the world, only worth an economy seat?

I really wanted to throw it away and play ball with Coco.

Beep!

While I was feeling annoyed for a while, the satellite phone in my pocket rang.

They say even a tiger will come if you call it, and as expected, Secretary Kim Tae-jin contacted me.

I frowned and answered the phone from behind a tree a little way from my residence.

[Mr. Daesu? Here you go. The communication status yesterday was… … .]

“Why didn’t you tell me?”

[yes?]

“Why didn’t you tell me that there were different seating classes? I asked you several times if there was another way.”

[I don’t know where you heard this, but you’re all misunderstanding. Please calm down and listen to what I have to say.]

“Yes, you should speak properly. I’m thinking about whether I should just throw it all away now.”

At my cool threat, Secretary Kim Tae-jin let out a deep sigh of exhaustion.

[As you know, Mr. Daesu, vaccine development is our responsibility. However, other than that, support and transportation are all being coordinated by other organizations. The cruise seat was also secured at the request of the team leader.]

“Are you saying it was the best you could do?”

[Yes, it is embarrassing, but it is true. All departments are currently overburdened with work due to the influx of work. It is also a great thing that this much manpower has been allocated to Mr. Daesu.]

After hearing all the excuses that weren’t excuses, I took a deep breath and collected my thoughts.

Certainly, considering the current situation, what Secretary Kim Tae-jin said was not wrong.

Asking for the impossible is just like a child throwing a tantrum.

“Okay, I understand.”

[Thank you for your understanding. For now, I’m just trying to make contact safely. I have so much to tell you.]

Secretary Kim Tae-jin swallowed hard, his throat burning, and took a deep breath.

[First of all, the military’s request for cooperation was rejected. They said they would only focus on the mission of protecting the port. So we had no choice but to send our staff… ]

“but?”

[… … I have not been able to contact Chief Secretary Kim Chan-woo since yesterday.]
