Episode 86
You didn’t see things wrong.
At the moment, at 12 o’clock in the sky, a black helicopter was approaching at high speed.
After confirming its appearance through the telescope, I quickly searched through my bag to find the signal flare.
bang!
At that moment, the office door opened and Sergeant Park Deok-gu and his platoon members rushed out.
“Mr. Daesu! What does this mean?”
“It’s a helicopter.”
“Damn, I knew you’d come!”
“I survived!”
Those who ran outside cheered when they heard that a helicopter was coming.
But that was only for a moment, as he followed me as I rummaged through my bag, desperately looking for a military radio.
“Let’s try communicating!”
“Where did the radio I left here go?”
The helipad on the rooftop is currently empty, but the problem is that Q2 is on the 32nd floor.
If he happened to hear the sound and went up, he could have been attacked without knowing anything.
While my platoon members were hastily trying to communicate via radio, I finally found the flare.
“I’m not receiving any communication!”
“Just try until you get it!”
I grabbed the flare and started running towards the first floor, almost jumping out of the way.
If no communication was received, the plan was to guide the flare to the ground, not the roof.
Phew, whoosh!
After running and running until I was out of breath, luckily I arrived on time.
As I came down to the first floor, Private Oh Chan-il, who had been waiting, came running over in a hurry.
“older brother!”
“Hold this and shake it!”
I handed the flare packet to Corporal Ohchanil and took a mirror out of my pocket.
The helicopter that was approaching us was slowly slowing down for landing.
Cheek!
“Eww, please look!”
Private First Class Oh Chan-il, who had pulled out a flare, waved his arms and legs wildly, creating smoke and sparks.
Meanwhile, I made a V with my fingers and aimed between the sun and the helicopter.
Twinkle!
And it continued to send out flashing signals using mirrors so that the pilot could see them.
Please, please look this way.
If you go to the rooftop, it’s a real disaster.
I kept tilting the mirror with longing, and three minutes passed like that.
“I saw it!”
At that moment, the approaching helicopter suddenly increased its altitude and made a sharp turn.
The pilot slowly approached the flare as if he had seen the flare.
“Lead this way!”
Private Oh Chan-il and I ran hurriedly to the empty lot at the back where the helicopter could land.
And he waved the flare like crazy to guide the helicopter to land.
Tododododo-!!
A relatively small reconnaissance helicopter, rather than a UH-60 transport helicopter, slowly lowered its altitude.
The rotor noise gradually died down, and the helicopter, with its engine turned off, landed safely on the ground.
“Mr. Daesu!”
“This way.”
At that moment, the platoon members and their group, who had been following behind in a hurry, came running towards us.
And then, swallowing his saliva, he carefully observed the people disembarking from the helicopter.
“It’s not a military uniform?”
Three people, excluding the two pilots, walked towards us and faced us.
Two men and one woman were dressed in plain clothes, not military uniforms, and wearing black bulletproof vests.
Judging by the bulge in the right jacket, it was clear that he was carrying a 9mm pistol.
As I was quickly scanning them, Sergeant Park Deok-gu, who had finished saluting, approached me.
“Loyalty! Where do you come from?”
“This is the National Intelligence Service.”
“ah!”
The moment the name National Intelligence Service came up, everyone let out a sigh of admiration.
More than any other detailed explanation, the weight that came from belonging proved everything.
“Let’s go in and talk about the details.”
“Yes! This way.”
Sergeant Park Deok-gu checked the identification they presented and guided them into the building.
The platoon members followed, and my group and I naturally walked to the building.
“Sangbaem, it’s the National Intelligence Service!”
“The force is definitely different.”
“But there are three daughters?”
“Well, won’t you come later?”
The group was excited as if they were seeing agents they had only seen in movies with their own eyes.
But my eyes, which had been following him, had long since calmly settled down.
‘Why the National Intelligence Service?’
Although this is a critical facility, rescue operations are what is needed now anyway.
The government should have sent special forces instead. It wasn’t something the National Intelligence Service should have done.
A sense of alienation is creeping in.
The viscosity is so high that it can block the chin.
As I walked quietly, I grabbed Kim Jin-kyung’s shoulder and whispered quietly in her ear.
“Ms. Jin-kyung.”
“yes?”
“If any one of those three disappears, please tell me immediately. If they run away or act suspiciously, be sure to chase them.”
“What’s going on?”
“It’s because I have a strange feeling.”
Even though I’ve been away from the field for a long time, I’ve been rolling around in this field for years.
At least I wasn’t stupid enough to miss this sticky, strange sensation.
“……all right.”
Here, I asked the only trustworthy person, Kim Jin-kyung, to keep watch and naturally got out.
I looked at their backs, caressing their skin with my fingertips that had become so sensitive that I could feel their skin.
I didn’t feel good.
* * *
When they heard that someone from the National Intelligence Service had arrived, people started to crowd into the hallway.
In their eyes, there was a glimmer of hope that they could finally be rescued.
However, there was a nervous exchange of voices between the National Intelligence Service and Sergeant Park Deok-gu.
“What did you just say?”
“I told you it’s not our responsibility. I don’t think I can help you.”
The reason the National Intelligence Service came here in the first place was not to provide support or rescue people.
They expressed their firm stance on the request for rescue, adding the word ‘confidential’.
Sergeant Park Deok-gu, who was dumbfounded by the sight, finally jumped up from his seat and shouted.
“No, that’s right! Let’s say it’s not your business! But is it really that difficult to ask that only the wounded and civilians be taken out?”
“I can’t burn them all.”
“Why don’t you just come and go several times? It’s something that can be done in half a day, so why can’t you do just that one thing?”
No matter how important the mission is, we can still provide some help on a humanitarian level.
It’s not some unfamiliar PMC, it’s the National Intelligence Service of the Republic of Korea. Can’t they do that one thing?
“It’s a crowd. Please wait for jurisdictional support.”
But they consistently maintained a blunt attitude and shook their heads slightly.
Sergeant Park Deok-gu, who saw that sight, could not stand it any longer and overturned the desk.
“What the hell! You guys are still human after doing that!”
“Vice-Captain! Please be patient!”
“Hey, hey! Get it!”
An excited Sergeant Park Deok-gu ran towards them, and his platoon members desperately tried to stop him.
Meanwhile, the National Intelligence Service agents consistently watched the situation with stiff, expressionless faces.
bang!
Eventually, Sergeant Park Deok-gu was dragged out, and a chilly atmosphere hung over the office.
At that moment, a National Intelligence Service agent who had been silently looking around said:
“Who is Senior Researcher Kim Jang-mi?”
“……yes?”
Kim Jang-mi, who had been sitting quietly, was startled when someone suddenly called her name.
Then, for the first time, the NIS agents showed an active response and approached her.
“Are you Senior Researcher Kim Jang-mi?”
“yes that’s right.”
“You are affiliated with the Korean branch of Biogeneca.”
“That’s true too… … Ah!”
“I just need to verify your identity.”
They took Kim Jang-mi’s pass almost by force and confirmed her identity.
And then he touched what appeared to be a terminal for a long time and nodded.
“I heard you lost the specimen.”
“Yes, one went missing during transport.”
“Where is the rest?”
“Of course it’s in the lab. Why is that?”
“We have been ordered to evacuate. I think you should come with us, Doctor.”
“yes?”
Kim Jang-mi was flustered by the sudden request to accompany her, and she fiddled with her ID card, not knowing what to do.
But that was only for a moment, as he pointed to us in the same office and the people outside.
“Then what about the people here?”
“The person in charge will take care of it.”
They say it’s not their business, but they save some people and not others.
Kim Jang-mi felt something strange for a moment and said, taking a step back.
“Wait a minute. I haven’t heard anything from up there. Since when were you transferred there?”
“Go and hear the details.”
“Hey, what are you doing like this? Call the person in charge. Let me explain.”
“There’s no time for that, Doctor.”
They approached slowly, with an overly consistent and overly defensive attitude.
Kim Jang-mi looked at me, trembling, as if she was going to be dragged away by force if things really got out of hand.
This is not it.
These people are hiding something.
I blinked twice, and Kim Jang-mi, who also blinked, acted skillfully.
“I’m sorry, but I can’t go to the lab even if I want to. I can’t go to the 35th floor right now.”
“……yes?”
“No, you didn’t even know that? Q2 is currently in control of the research building. How are we going to retrieve the samples in the lab?”
When they heard that the lab had been quarantined, they looked at each other in confusion for the first time.
And after glancing at her as if trying to figure out her intentions, they soon began whispering among themselves.
“Please wait a moment.”
“Yes, please do.”
A moment later, the NIS agents went outside with what appeared to be a terminal.
Kim Jang-mi, who had been acting as clever as possible, finally let out a sigh of relief.
“Did you see the look in those people’s eyes just now? Did their eyes change completely when I told them I wasn’t going?”
“Was it originally under the jurisdiction of the National Intelligence Service?”
“No, that can’t be. It was under the jurisdiction of the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency from the beginning, and we’ve been working exclusively with them. They know most things.”
“For something like that, I don’t know much.”
“So that’s suspicious! No, how can you not even know about Q2’s existence right now?”
As expected of a smart girl, she immediately noticed that they were suspicious.
Of course, I knew this from the beginning, so I looked at the door they had exited through and asked.
“What is that sample?”
“Antibody samples. There are five in total. One is here and the other three are at the National Institute of Health. However, one was lost during transport and its whereabouts are still unknown.”
“Are the specimens in the lab?”
“Are you crazy? You left something important there? I took good care of it and hid it when I ran away.”
Leaving the antibody samples in the lab was a lie to deceive them.
Thinking that I had wasted some time, I lowered my voice and gave Kim Jang-mi a word.
“Good job. Please stay quiet for the time being.”
“Yes, don’t worry.”
I packed my bag and carefully walked out the door they had come through and headed down the hallway on the other side.
And then I carefully took out the object from my bag that I thought I would never take out again.
‘Satellite phone.’
This is the satellite phone that Park Hanna gave me when she followed me to the campus shelter.
I had told him to contact me if he changed his mind, but I never thought he would take it out again.
I let out a small sigh and cautiously dialed the only number I had saved.
The monotonous ringtone continued for a moment, and then a familiar voice answered the phone.
[……senior?]
“uh.”
Park Han-na looked flustered, as if she had not expected me to contact her first.
Still, it was nice to hear the voice of an old colleague after such a long time.
“Jeju Island?”
[It’s been a while since I’ve been here. How about you, senior?]
“It’s Hyehwa-dong. I’ve come to Biogeneca.”
[Biogeneca? Why there… …!]
Park Han-na was startled and her voice trembled at the mention of Biogeneca.
It seems that the government is also somewhat aware of the situation.
But that’s not what’s important now.
I looked around and lowered my voice.
“I’ll tell you the details later. I’m in a hurry, but let me ask you a few questions.”
[I’m listening.]
“Did you send someone from that side?”
If she had the same level of experience as Park Han-na, she would have been promoted to team leader or director level at the very least.
If the NIS had taken action, there’s no way she, who is in a higher department, wouldn’t have known.
[Senior, even if I wanted to, I don’t have the energy to do it. Just doing this kind of work makes my head about to explode.]
I knew it.
I frowned at the headache that came over me for a moment and kept rubbing my sensitive fingertips.
[No, but how did you end up there? I’ll send a helicopter for you, so… … .]
“I’ll hang up.”
I thought it might be Park Han-na, so I quickly hung up the phone and blocked her from trying to pierce my nose.
And then he hid the satellite phone back in his bag and fell into deep thought.
First of all, they are saying that it is not the National Intelligence Service, but where on earth did they come from?
It feels like it’s from the same series, but it strangely has a private smell.
One thing is certain now: we must not hand over the specimen and the kimchi.
I took out my walkie-talkie and tried to call Kim Jin-kyung, who was watching them.
Woof woof!
But at that moment Coco barked.
