Episode 130

It still took three more days for the cruise ship, which was still sailing at low speed, to arrive in Busan.

However, considering the urgent local situation, rescue operations had to be carried out as soon as possible.

Knowing this, the Chairman decided to send the only helicopter to Busan first.

As a result, my companions and I had to prepare to leave just half a day after arriving in first class.

“This way.”

We followed Team Leader Kang Chan-ho, who volunteered to be our guide, to the back of the cruise ship, where entry is prohibited to the general public.

There was a hangar there that only employees and associates of the Daemyung Group were allowed to enter.

Of course, it was just a hangar in name only, but in reality it was just a large warehouse where materials were piled up and stored.

CLANG!

As we entered the warehouse, employees appeared with golf bags as if they had been waiting for us.

Inside that golf bag were none other than the weapons we had confiscated.

“These are the items you had. Please check carefully to see if anything is missing.”

I opened the bag and checked, and it was still well-kept, just as it was before it was confiscated.

Without saying a word, the group took out their weapons and started putting them on.

“Wow, I really wanted to see that.”

“I guess this is what gives me peace of mind.”

We were experiencing withdrawal symptoms after having the weapons we used to carry confiscated.

But now that I finally got my hands on it, I naturally felt more secure and confident.

Team leader Kang Chan-ho, who had been watching the scene with a smile, soon made a slight gesture and gave some instructions.

“Bring that too.”

Then the employees came in, dragging a cart with cabinets attached.

The cart, which looked to be about 2 meters long, was filled with heavy items.

“What is this?”

“Here’s the item you requested. We only bring the highest quality products, so please take a look.”

When we expressed our curiosity, Team Leader Kang Chan-ho unlocked the device as if telling us to see for ourselves.

At that moment, the cabinet door opened with a heavy noise and all kinds of guns were revealed.

At this, my group and I rushed over without saying a word, continuously exclaiming in admiration.

“Are these all guns?”

“Wow, I’ve only seen this in games.”

Most of the firearms we have been using so far have been standard personal firearms used by the army.

However, inside the iron cabinet that Team Leader Kang Chan-ho brought, there were famous firearms displayed by type that would be used only by special forces.

I took out an automatic rifle made by HK, admiring the firearms I hadn’t seen in a long time.

Crunch!

As I pulled the trigger, I could feel the light, smooth weight and resistance that are characteristic of HK.

I touched it just in case, and it felt 99% identical to the feeling I got when I was on active duty.

I was once again impressed by the dense solidity that I had never felt before in the K-2 rifle.

“It’s genuine.”

“Haha, then you thought it was fake?”

“It was so unexpected that I was a little surprised.”

There are few countries that are as sensitive to gun ownership and control it as strictly as South Korea.

Even for the richest CEO of a large corporation, it wouldn’t have been easy to obtain something like this.

You were so confident that you could save me from anything, but I never thought you would prepare this thoroughly.

My hands were starting to tremble, so I walked over to the weapons cabinet and started shopping in earnest.

“Can I take whatever I want?”

“Yes, it’s an indefinite rental. Choose carefully.”

First, I planned to find equipment from my active duty days and choose weapons that would fit each member of the group.

The quiet interior soon became noisy as my group and I took out our equipment and examined it.

“What is it?”

But at that moment, a man with a shaky body walked out from inside the warehouse where there was no one.

He frowned as he looked at us gathered there, wondering if he had heard the loud noise.

Then, Team Leader Kang Chan-ho, who had been standing quietly, approached the man with a smiling face and greeted him.

“I didn’t know Manager Choi was here. If I had known, I would have bought him a cup of tea.”

“I stopped by for a moment to check the equipment. By the way, who are these people? I’ve never seen them before.”

“Oh, I guess you haven’t checked it since the announcement was just posted. Let’s say hello to each other. These are the people who will be going to Busan together.”

The man called Manager Choi hardened his expression as he watched Team Leader Kang Chan-ho explain in a soft voice.

Then he glanced at us and then lowered his voice and spoke to Team Leader Kang Chan-ho.

“Why are there so many extra people all of a sudden?”

“Haha, you know. The chairman was very worried. I introduced him to him.”

“No, if even Team Leader Kang does that, it’s really difficult. What should I do if you say something like this when everything has already been prepared?”

Team Leader Kang Chan-ho swallowed a small groan as if he was troubled by the open expression of dissatisfaction.

But regardless, Team Leader Choi poured out all the complaints that had been building up.

“Even though we are employed, there are set procedures. If you continue to interfere, it will be really difficult.”

“Um, that’s not what I meant… … .”

“If something happens while I’m out on site with an amateur, will Team Leader Kang take responsibility? Anyway, I can’t work like this anymore.”

Upon hearing the story, it turned out that the man named Manager Choi was a PMC hired by Daemyung Construction.

He was openly criticizing us in front of us, as if he didn’t like the situation.

“You’re big.”

“What kind of gangster do you look like?”

However, the group looked at the equipment with a smile as if they were used to this situation.

Compared to the restraint and territorial treatment I had received so far, this was really just a level of cuteness.

I knew that getting angry in advance would only give me a headache, so I just listened to it with one ear and let it go out the other.

However, it seems that Team Leader Kang Chan-ho, who introduced us, did not find that response easy.

“So you’re not going to do it?”

“……yes?”

Team leader Kang Chan-ho still had a smiling face, but the atmosphere was definitely not smiling.

It seems that Manager Choi wasn’t the only one who had accumulated complaints.

“Manager Choi and the staff, I know you are doing a good job. But what can we do if you don’t meet our evaluation standards? This is Daemyung Group. We need to produce perfect results, not near-perfect results. I have provided you with the help you deserve, so please don’t be dissatisfied.”

The polite words contained a warning to follow suit and not to be stubborn.

Perhaps that harsh assessment might have come from the mouth of the chairman and not Team Leader Kang Chan-ho.

“……All right.”

“Then I’ll see you on the day of the operation.”

At the firm order to oust the guests, Chief Choi gritted his teeth and quickly left the hangar.

Then, Team Leader Kang Chan-ho approached us again with a smiling face as if nothing had happened.

As expected, being promoted to the position of team leader was not just a matter of luck; it was an incredible change in one’s life.

“I’m sorry. He’s not normally like that, but something bad has happened to him recently.”

“it’s okay.”

“We are used to it.”

Even though we were from the same company, I thought I would get angry if someone was criticized so openly.

We answered that we understood well and put on our backs the guns and equipment we had chosen according to our tastes.

Team leader Kang Chan-ho followed me like a secretary and explained the final schedule.

“The final briefing is scheduled for 5 a.m. tomorrow. Please come to the helipad as soon as you are ready.”

“Is there anything else I need to know?”

“Don’t worry about that. Manager Choi will take care of the small details.”

I guess he was concerned about the tight schedule, so he tried to be more considerate in small ways.

Thanks to this, my companions and I had some time to rest and bowed our heads slightly to express our gratitude.

As I was returning to my accommodations, Team Leader Kang Chan-ho left a request in passing.

“I understand that Mr. Daesu and his party are ostensibly just observers. Perhaps Manager Choi might stumble over this part.”

“I’m used to it. Don’t worry.”

“As expected, you are a professional. Thank you.”

At Korean universities and at Biozeneca, I always started out as an observer.

From then on, where we are and how we are treated is entirely up to us.

I took my companions back to the first class cabin, telling them not to worry.

The soft bed and warm blanket I lay down on for the first time in a long while were enough to take away my fatigue.

* * *

Unlike the economy class cabin, which was always dark and humid, the first class cabin on the top floor was extremely comfortable.

Thanks to that, we woke up feeling refreshed and diligently packed our equipment and luggage.

And then I headed to the landing pad, seeing off my older sister and Yebin, who were rubbing their sleepy eyes.

“Long time no see?”

Woof woof!

Of course, on the way, I didn’t forget to pick up Coco and Volvo, who had been locked in the cage.

The two guys, who had come out for the first time in a long time, seemed ready to move forward with a helicopter attached to their tail.

I played tug-of-war with him all the way, reawakening his dulled hunting instinct.

In a rescue mission, the role of a detection dog was far more valuable than ten veterans.

“It’s been bustling since dawn.”

“If you don’t want to get cut, you have to work hard.”

The helicopter landing pad we arrived at was crowded with people moving busily.

Everyone had a serious look on their faces, as if they knew how important this matter was.

My companions and I awkwardly passed them by and headed under the tent next to the landing pad.

“Ah! You came.”

Inside, as expected, armed personnel including Team Leader Kang Chan-ho were standing with their arms linked.

As soon as we entered, they started giving us hot looks as if they had been waiting for us.

“Wow, everyone’s welcoming remarks are so enthusiastic.”

“Hello, how are you?”

But the group, who never lost their cool no matter where they went, greeted us politely.

There was a reaction of bewilderment, and the atmosphere suddenly became cold.

Of course, whether that was true or not, I was busy checking the briefing materials on my desk.

‘As expected, it’s in the middle of the city.’

The helicopter’s landing destination was a 56-story building in the heart of downtown Busan.

The surrounding area was a densely populated city, and as is typical of Busan, the terrain was mostly elevated with few gentle slopes.

“What is the situation on the ground?”

“I understand that some military units are still stationed at the shelter. However, we are unable to contact them, so it will be difficult to request assistance.”

They said the virus spread to Gyeongsangnam-do, and it seems that the southernmost city, Busan, is also experiencing the same situation.

I looked at the satellite photos included with the materials to get an idea of ​​the local situation.

‘There’s chaos.’

As expected, the city of Busan was packed with dots as if dirt had been sprinkled on it.

The point was none other than the infected, the walking corpses, the humans infected with the virus.

As expected from a city with an influx of refugees, Busan was teeming with infected people on a massive scale.

There was a high probability that a mutant had already been created and was already active.

“Hey.”

While I was looking at the briefing materials like that, I heard a voice calling me from somewhere.

When I looked up, Manager Choi, who was holding the weight in one corner, was looking this way.

“What is it?”

“I don’t know what kind of people you are, but please tell me you’re giving up right now. Do you know how important each and every person on board is?”

The helicopter was a typical civilian transport helicopter and did not carry many passengers.

Manager Choi was picking a fight with me, as if he didn’t feel good about leaving some of his subordinates behind.

“What are you talking about, you son of a bitch?”

“What a funny kid.”

At that moment, the group behind them suddenly walked forward with distorted expressions.

They all looked like they couldn’t stand anyone messing with them and were ready to fight at any moment.

“stop.”

But I calmed down the excited group and sent them back to the back.

With less than ten minutes left until departure time, I didn’t want to cause any unnecessary disruption to the schedule.

Then, Manager Choi snickered, perhaps thinking that I was scared, and left the tent.

I pointed to the other members who were following behind and warned the group.

“When you get there, don’t go near those guys. They seem to be new to this kind of work.”

“I’ll be careful.”

There must be a reason why the Chairman and Team Leader Kang Chan-ho called us over an experienced PMC.

I looked at their backs with pity, pretending to be experienced but still looking like rookies.

“5 minutes before departure!”

The helicopter that had been waiting started up and its rotors began to turn slowly.

We held hands one by one as if it were a habit and left the tent with a silent chant.
