Episode 129
67. Hero (4)
The opponents were not soldiers, but looters.
They had a number of vehicles, but no heavy weapons and the skill of their fighters seemed questionable.
The numbers weren’t that many either.
Even though there are well over 50 people, there are looters on the other side and 30 soldiers on this side, including heavily armed armored vehicles.
It means that when you fight properly, you are no match for him.
“There must be a corner where you can believe.”
I agree with Captain Kim Min-ho’s comments.
No matter how much of a plunderer they are, there is no one who can be taken lightly at this point.
Since the estimate was set, they were able to bring people in and even threaten them to hand over the Yang Sang-gil.
“It’s a card that is expected to provide some level of artillery fire support.”
It seemed that the difference in opinions between Ha Min-ki and Kim Min-ho was not just due to differences in the chain of command.
“Our reconnaissance resources are all watching you. If the Legion takes out their artillery from the caves, you’ll hear a radio message. To be honest, if we’re scared by a handful of civilians, what else would we be if not a rabble?”
Ha Min-ki looked at me.
He hesitated for a moment and then asked Kim Min-ho.
“By the way, who is this person? He’s been in a meeting like it was a given.”
“You are a freelance hunter.”
Song Yu-jin answered instead of Kim Min-ho.
Although his expression seemed a little insecure, his seriousness and businesslikeness, unlike when he was dealing with me, made me think that my disciple was also a proper member of society.
“You were in charge of protecting and monitoring Mr. Yang Sang-gil.”
“Oh, is that so?”
Ha Min-ki pretended to understand while looking at Song Yu-jin’s uniform and mark with a displeased look.
“But, since the situation has become this big, shouldn’t our military be responsible for protecting Yang Sang-gil?”
“I think so too.”
He answered as if he had been waiting.
I don’t want to get involved in this fight either.
Another fight in my front yard.
It’s half a self-inflicted disaster, but at least we can’t deny that our front yard is noisier than Keystone’s front yard.
“I’m going to take my leave now. I don’t think this is something I should be involved in.”
“Instructor, instructor.”
Song Yu-jin followed me on the day I was leaving.
It seems like he is called “instructor” in front of other people.
“Are you okay?”
She looks at me with a worried expression.
“what?”
“No, it’s strange that someone of the instructor’s level is being treated this way.”
“What? Are you worried?”
“Isn’t that obvious?”
Song Yu-jin looked straight at me.
“I am your disciple, Instructor.”
“I didn’t teach you anything.”
“That’s true, but since I don’t have anything to show for it······ I’m only level 2.”
Song Yu-jin lowered her head with a gloomy face.
“I was treated like a loser at school, and even after I left, I wasn’t very happy. I was just a level 2 student, after all. But when I told them I was the instructor’s disciple, they started to take a look at me, one by one. That······ even the director.”
“Was it like that?”
I could somewhat understand the excessive kindness.
It seems that the connection with me itself was helpful.
I was about to turn around, feeling a familiar sense of disappointment.
Song Yu-jin’s voice followed me from behind like a shadow.
“But I studied the instructor’s records very hard! The more I learned about him, the more I heard he was amazing. He hunted medium-sized and even large-sized beasts without any Awakening ability! Even those who are above level 10 have to risk their lives to hunt medium-sized beasts, but the instructor caught them with only conventional weapons, without even disabling the reflection field.”
“······I didn’t catch it alone.”
It seems like the words “I studied hard” aren’t just empty words.
If you look at this, you can see a little bit of Park Gyu’s past.
“I was able to do it because I had a comrade who could replace me even if I died.”
First, I got on my motorcycle, thinking about the faces of my colleagues who had passed away.
“Instructor!”
Song Yu-jin called me again.
“Will you make dinner for me?”
“Well, let’s see what happens.”
I don’t think the battle will take that long.
Because no one but me wants to stay in this desolate realm called Park Gyu World for a long time.
But I made a promise, so I should prepare.
I prepared dinner tonight, eating boiled potatoes in an empty bunker.
I’m trying to make curry.
“Skeleton. What’s going on?”
While I was preparing the curry ingredients, I got a call from Defender and Rebecca.
“Yang Sang-gil? Did you hear his radio transmission?”
He dismissed it as a common military quarrel and cut off communication.
After finishing preparing the ingredients and taking a short break, a gunshot rang out.
I wonder if a battle has broken out.
I left the bunker and climbed up the hill to observe the golf course.
Soldiers and looters were facing off.
Boldly, the looters sent out a few men to stand in front of the soldiers, seemingly unfazed by the bullets.
Four people, no, five people.
Although the distance made it difficult to hear, it appeared that the soldiers had warned them not to come near and had fired a single gunshot as a warning.
“hmm?”
The looters are advancing.
They slowly advance towards the soldiers’ camp, whether the soldiers aim their guns or not.
The soldiers looked back at Ha Min-gi.
Ha Min-ki raised his hand.
The next moment.
thud!
A shout came from the looters’ side.
I know this eerie sound and the rhythm it creates.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A beat that feels like a heartbeat.
In response, waves sweep away everything around it, even light.
And something human-like standing at the center of it all.
“Awake.”
Fortunately, the wave form is not over level 10.
Below that.
In other words, it is a level that I can deal with.
I immediately jumped on my motorcycle.
I prayed in my heart that no gunshots would ring out.
Tata tata tang!
Despite fervent prayers, gunshots rang out.
When I got on my motorcycle and looked towards the golf course, the situation was already over.
Several soldiers were knocked down and the rest were running away.
I sighed in relief as I noticed a woman in a familiar uniform with her hair pulled back like a ponytail among the retreating soldiers, and rode my motorcycle in the direction they were fleeing.
*
Seven of the 34 people in the garden died.
No, there are eight people.
The injured soldier’s seizure stopped as he was screaming.
“Daejun! Daejun!”
One of the soldiers buried his head in his chest and sobbed.
The atmosphere in the camp was bleak.
Yang Sang-gil and his family were saved, but there were casualties and the road behind them was blocked.
It was a complete defeat.
But what depressed the soldiers more than the defeat was that they had no means of recovering from it.
There is an Awaken in the enemy camp.
Reflects bullets exactly in the direction of the gunfire, like a monster.
“······It seems that the information that the Legion faction accepted fanatics from North Korea and supplemented the Awaken was true.”
Even the arrogant and smart Kim Min-ho looked defeated in front of the miracle he saw right in front of his eyes.
Ha Min-ki wasn’t saying anything, but his already unpleasant face looked even worse.
It was this man who gave the order to fire.
It is unknown why the order to fire was given even though it was known that it was Awaken, but surprisingly, such cases are frequent.
There are still some soldiers who look down on Awakens, and many who have fallen into the mystical belief that they can easily kill Awakens.
“What do we do now?”
Ha Min-ki opened his mouth.
“well.”
Kim Min-ho sighed with a tired face.
“What should we do?”
It was a very subtle change, but I got the feeling that the pretense of courtesy that Kim Min-ho had shown toward Ha Min-ki as a superior had completely disappeared.
That prediction turned out to be correct, without fail.
“Should we just take an armored vehicle and crash it?”
He doesn’t hide his contempt and annoyance.
Ha Min-ki’s facial muscles twitched, but he suppressed his anger as if he knew his mistake and opened his mouth.
“Can you give me the armored car? I’ll give you the truck.”
“It’s a long mountain that doesn’t match the water level.”
“I’ll contact headquarters and ask them to send me a new one.”
“Just saying you’ll try isn’t enough. You have to confirm it.”
“No, you!”
Ha Min-ki shouted in his characteristically loud voice.
“No matter how the world is like this, there is such a thing as class!”
The gazes of the junior officers, non-commissioned officers, and soldiers watching clashed fiercely.
“······You’re fucking fucking with your dick.”
Kim Min-ho was making a fuss.
“If you want to be treated to a meal like that, then do something when the National Assembly gradually takes control of the military.”
“Captain Kim!”
“I have nothing more to say.”
Even from afar, Ha Min-ki’s body was clearly trembling.
Kim Min-ho left him behind and slowly backed away.
“We will now retreat, Lieutenant Colonel.”
Ha Min-ki didn’t respond, but Kim Min-ho scratched Ha Min-ki’s stomach once more.
“······By the way, did you actually contact my direct supervisor? Why didn’t he contact me?”
Kim Min-ho and his soldiers climbed into the armored vehicle.
“Sam, no, instructor.”
Song Yu-jin stood in front of me before getting into the armored vehicle.
“I’m going to go now.”
She looked at me with a bashful expression and smiled faintly.
“I prepared dinner.”
“Really?”
“It’s okay. Eat alone.”
“I’ll stop by next time I get a chance. Please accept me when Incheon is ruined.”
“There is no room.”
“why.”
“Go quickly. Captain Kim is really hurt.”
Song Yu-jin headed to the armored vehicle.
Before getting into the armored car, she turned to me and waved.
Soon the armored vehicle took off, emitting smoke and engine noise.
The direction the armored vehicle was headed was a rough, winding road with no roads.
“······.”
Yang Sang-gil’s words may be correct.
When I see Kim Min-ho, who likes my direct superior, giving up on Yang Sang-gil as if he had been waiting for it.
My gaze turned to Ha Min-ki.
“Since it has come to this, let’s take Yang Sang-gil with us.”
This guy is about to cause another accident.
“I think the southwest direction is relatively gentle. I’m going to send the truck carrying Yang Sang-gil there first, and the rest of us will move slowly, gradually retreating on foot and joining the truck.”
It may sound plausible at first glance, but it’s nonsense.
The very idea of driving a truck that isn’t even a tracked vehicle over rough terrain.
It’s unlikely that the vehicles will be in as good a condition as they were before the war.
Anyway, this isn’t my problem.
There is nothing I can do about it.
I tried contacting Woo Min-hee, but as usual, she didn’t answer my phone when I needed her.
Of course, the looters won’t wait.
“This is an ultimatum. Yang Sang-gil’s family, raise your flag and send us this way.”
They seem ready to attack at any moment.
The soldiers looked at Ha Min-gi, but Ha Min-gi did not respond to the looters’ threats.
“Is the truck ready?”
Still he tries to carry out his vain delusion.
I guess this is it.
Being with these friends.
I need to prepare for survival too.
Wouldn’t it be better to just pack what you need for now, leave this area, and come back when things get quiet?
I was about to leave with those thoughts.
“Mr. Park Hunter.”
Someone interrupted my sneaking.
It’s Yang Sang-gil.
“Where are you going?”
“Where are you going? You should just disappear like this.”
“Do you live around here?”
He grins like a snake with a knowing expression.
He answered without even blinking an eye.
“yes.”
“I’ll tell you. Where you live.”
“Speak.”
“I also saw which way you went with Song Yu-jin.”
“Go ahead.”
“Really? Are you okay?”
Yang Sang-gil smirked and stared at my face with eyes that seemed to be trying to see through me.
What should I do with this person?
Boom!
A sudden explosion was heard from the west.
That direction is where Kim Min-ho’s armored vehicle left.
As expected, an armored vehicle was stuck in the bunker, billowing black smoke.
“······.”
A chronic fatigue and drowsiness took over my consciousness.
“Suicide drone! Suicide drone!”
Ha Min-gi’s soldier urgently reported the situation.
Fortunately, casualties were minor.
Soon the hatch of the armored vehicle opened and soldiers came running out, coughing.
“Cough! Cough! Oh my!”
My full moon disciple was also included in it.
The moment I saw her, the drowsiness that had been loosely filling my consciousness like volcanic ash suddenly disappeared.
I looked around.
A group of armed men disguised as looters, or rather, looters, are approaching us in a gentle encirclement.
In front are the main force including the Awaken, and on the road are less powerful forces, but the drones in the sky control the air superiority and vision.
“Bring Yang Sang-gil! I’m leaving here right now!”
And Ha Min-ki repeats endless mistakes.
“Get him on the truck right now!”
A sharp sound ripped through the air from above.
It’s a suicide drone.
There are still 3 seasons left.
“Jammer!”
A soldier on air surveillance aimed a bazooka-like anti-drone jamming device at an incoming drone.
As I pulled the heavy trigger, one of the drones flying towards me fell limply and crashed to the ground.
But there was one more.
It was stuck on the table at the scene where Ha Min-ki was shouting for withdrawal.
Kwakwakwang!
There was dirt and black stuff and a little bit of blood splattered.
“Lieutenant Colonel!”
“Fuck! The colonel got hit!”
The command center was hit.
At the same time, the enemies began to advance.
Amidst the gunfight going on all around, Awaken in front belatedly took a leisurely stroll towards this direction, taking in the scenery of the golf course as if he were taking a walk.
The armored personnel carrier joined Ha Min-gi’s unit.
“Fuck.”
Kim Min-ho blamed himself, still wearing a blood-stained bandage from a head injury.
“The jammers aren’t working. The active defense system isn’t working. Why do electronic devices always malfunction when they’re needed?”
Leaving aside humanity, this person is currently the best.
I approached him.
“fountain······.”
I felt Song Yu-jin’s gaze on me as she nursed the soldiers, but I pretended not to notice.
Kim Min-ho looked at me.
“Are you that hunter from earlier?”
“Can you just kill Awaken?”
“what?”
“If I just kill Awaken, can I take care of all those bastards?”
“Wh-what are you talking about? Didn’t you just see that? That monster that bounces off bullets?”
Kim Min-ho’s gaze turned to Song Yu-jin, filled with disappointment.
Song Yu-jin avoided his gaze.
“······I fought that monster my whole life.”
This time her gaze was directed at me.
“Just give me two people. I’ll come back after cutting Awaken’s throat.”
Pointed at Song Yu-jin.
“One is this guy. The other is anyone who isn’t a coward.”
Kim Min-ho just looked at me with a suspicious face.
“Why should we provide troops to someone who isn’t even a soldier?”
Kim Min-ho sighed and looked around at the soldiers.
“Well, let me ask you something. Would you volunteer to entrust your life to this person?”
A heavy silence fell.
The soldiers were busy looking at each other.
Well, that’s to be expected.
Because I have already seen the power of Awaken with my own eyes.
Is there anyone in this world who wants to die?
“Me! I’ll do it!”
There is one person who wants to die.
“I will do it.”
It’s Yang Sang-gil.
