A large-scale transport operation has begun.

Read at readwn.com

Most of the Korean adult males were military veterans who received basic military training, and some of the rescued personnel were even former commanders of the reserve army.

The department store’s control room was converted into a temporary command center. I chatted with the major while Lee Ji-ah was screening the rescue team.

It’s about the future direction.

Time is urgent right now, but the more you do it, the more you have to decide and move so that the movement is not wasted.

“Hey, chief. Did you come?”

As you enter the control room, the major greets you with an angled posture as if you were a boss.

Should I even salute you?

Just a brief handshake.

“Major, well, you’ve been in the military for a long time, and you probably know better than I do about military organization and planning… … .”

“Don’t worry about my pride and feel free to tell me.”

“Oh, is it? That’s fortunate. After 4 or 5 hours, large monsters will appear inside the gate. You have to prepare ahead of time.”

“… … uh, yes?”

The Major blinks in embarrassment. Apparently he doesn’t know much about gates either.

However, I don’t have time to explain all of this one by one.

There is one good thing about this.

Soldiers like that.

If it’s black, cut it.

“I’m going to put up a barricade near a department store. PMC mercenaries, soldiers, hunters, etc. incumbents, or those who aspired to the above three, gather and organize a unit. There are more than a thousand people inside, but a few will come out.”

“Will the barricade work for large monsters?”

“No, it doesn’t work for large groups. They’re all the size of a building. It’s to stop medium-sized monsters. Major, have you ever played Tetris?”

“I was a Famicom player when I was young.”

“Tell the remaining Awokens in the department store to play Tetris with the parking lot, the nearby construction site, and the trucks near the road. It’s a straight line, so it doesn’t matter how difficult it is.”

The major smiles and nods his head.

“I will start right away as you said.”

A temporary organization will be carried out under the brilliant direction of the commander of the reserve army. Of course, it cannot be over in ten or twenty minutes. It will take another two hours.

After all, it is done separately from the rescue operation, so you only need to adjust it in time. I left the rest to him and walked to the entrance of the department store.

There are still many people waiting to be rescued.

“We can’t go.”

A group of ten stares at me, frowned. Its shoulders are also menacingly spread out like a peacock.

It was a lot of facial expressions and gestures.

In the first place, the truth that came to the cafe with the intention to fight was like that.

“… … We will come back when the bus is full. At that time, the rescued personnel will continue the rescue operation.”

If possible, I don’t want to change the number of people, but if I don’t, I can’t control it.

These are civilians, not soldiers.

They have no reason or obligation to take risks for others. Rather, you should get help. But, it was the same for me.

So, I’ll just have to accept the price I helped.

“once. You only need to go to the rescue once. The monsters roaming outside now pose no threat to us. Please go back to your seat.”

A man who looked like the leader of the group stepped forward.

“Hey, manager. You said while holding the megaphone. I’ll rescue you. I came down after believing those words, so you want me to go out to save people again?”

nodded his head. The man twisted the back of his nose.

“If that’s the case, I wouldn’t have joined you guys! I’m in an apartment, but here, what’s the difference? Do you really need to take a risk and come down here?”

The crowd behind them adds a word at a time.

I can feel the gaze of people leaning on the railing and looking at us. agitation spreads

He licked his dry lips and said.

“Statistically, large monsters appear 5-6 hours after the gates burst. If you stayed in the apartment, you would never have survived.”

“How do you know that?”

“Look at the news. It’s a fact that the experts at the Red Gate told me to wear out.”

The man walks away with a bewildered look on his face.

It’s funny that Ji-ah Lee, an S-class hunter, doesn’t listen to me when it comes to categorization, but I can’t be reckless with my manager.

If she made up her mind, everyone here would be exhausted by the end of ten minutes.

You must know that you won’t be able to go out on your own because you’re a celebrity.

Even in such an emergency.

he opens his mouth

“I still can’t go.”

“… … I beg your pardon?”

“I can’t go. Did the people who were originally in the department store not go?”

Men talk about unfairness. People’s agitation grows

In an emergency, it is this person who destroys the community first.

Even when this is not the case, they seek fairness and equity. In any case, in your favor.

In less than two hours, the evacuation line was rushed.

I am a foreigner who came here for a broadcast,

They do not have the legal status to protect them like the military or the police,

He is a 26-year-old kid who is not enough to be recognized as a leader.

Beyond this, control becomes impossible. The face of the rescue team already behind me was unfamiliar.

You have to stop that mouth.

He took a pistol from his pocket and fired it into the air.

Tang-!

The buzzing noise ceases. The man widens his eyes. He pointed and shouted. Like asking for help from others.

“Second, gun? What are you? Are you a criminal?”

“Shut up and go back to your seat. It wasn’t long before the large monster appeared. I can’t afford to take turns taking turns for the sake of fairness, so go back.”

A confused man regains his sanity.

The corner of the guy’s mouth, who was looking around, draws an arc.

“If I threaten people like this, do you think, ‘Yes, I understand’ and walk away? Don’t you know that if you threaten with a weapon, you will be severely punished? How many eyes do you see now?”

This is why citizens who were born and raised in a country with good security.

It was the same for the control room staff and the guy in front of me.

Fear of violence and a sense of reality were paralyzed.

He straightened his arms, closed one eye, and stared fiercely in the direction of the muzzle with the sight.

A terrified face enters the blurry vision.

I whispered to myself with my finger on the trigger.

compassion, sympathy, mercy, etc.

Let’s put off my fragile feelings, which I will regret later, until the gate is over.

It’s not too late though.

Now, it’s hard to find people.

shudder!

“Uh, huh? what are you doing… … !”

“I told you to shut up, you bastard.”

bang!

two bullets.

It was good to infuse the military with the remaining personnel. The fast-moving rescue team quickly divided into groups and boarded the bus.

Lee Ji-ah went out of the bus to escort the rescue team. Gradually, the monsters were growing in size.

“Ugh, black… !”

The man in the driver’s seat sobbed. Thick blood seeped from the bandage wrapped around his thigh. He’s the guy who said he wouldn’t leave the department store.

Eventually, I was overpowered and brought out as an example. Writer Choi, who was filming, swallowed his saliva.

“T, Chief. Isn’t that why you suddenly break the steering wheel?”

“I was afraid that I might get hurt. It will never happen.”

she shouts in a low voice

“The shooting scene! I saw everyone.”

“Did you take pictures of both the front and the back?”

“Yeah, I did, but… … .”

“Okay then. It’s inside the gate. It’s an extra-legal situation, and people will find it refreshing.”

The rescue went smoothly. Long queues of buses roamed the city, carrying people. So when the bus is full of people, it goes back to the department store.

The number of people that can be transported at one time is roughly 750 people.

It was the result of cramming everything into the luggage compartment.

When I went around the residential area and the shopping complex that the community center staff said, I couldn’t see people anymore. We stopped at an elementary school outside the gate. This is the last one.

He grabbed the megaphone and shouted in a calm tone.

[For those who have not yet evacuated, please come out and board the bus. We have built a shelter based on a nearby department store. We are protecting the citizens there.]

Fortunately, the hidden teachers and children rushed out. After getting on the bus, as I was about to go back, I saw a five or six-year-old girl crawling into the luggage compartment of the express bus.

And quickly close the door.

The bus is also spacious, so there are plenty of seats. Why?

looked back

Except for the bus I was on, it seemed crowded and difficult to get in.

Maybe everyone was scared because the driver was bleeding from the bridge, so they didn’t want to get on this bus.

Confused, I opened the luggage compartment door.

“Child, there are plenty of seats upstairs. Why are you here? You might get hurt, so come here.”

It was packed when it had to be packed full of people, and basically, the luggage compartment is at least a piece of cake if it bumps into it.

“no. Here more, more, more… … It doesn’t hurt.”

After looking for the right word for a long time, the vocabulary I finally came up with is terrible.

I gave up trying to understand what he meant.

There is no end to seriously listening to children’s nonsense.

“Hey, what’s your name?”

“Come on, come on, Luza, come on Li.”

“Sururi?”

Where the hell are your parents going?

“Where is your mother?”

Sururi answered brightly.

“no!”

“That, right? But I’m busy right now, so can you come out first?”

“no.”

“why?”

“Here more, more, more… … .”

“Aren’t you sick?”

“yes.”

He smiled and crawled inside.

“Luri, why don’t you get sick when you’re here?”

“It was the diary.”

“Diary? hey, he’s a scammer I did not know?”

“not really… .”

I thought a diary was a person’s name, but when I saw the paper book I was holding tightly in my arms, I think I was referring to a picture diary.

“Your uncle is a police officer. Shall I show you the gun? can’t you see I’d like to ask for your cooperation in the investigation, can you show me your diary?”

For the kids, above all else, the police are the direct breadwinner.

“I’m sorry. I’m sorry for what I did wrong. Please take a look.”

“I know, I know. Everyone says that at first.”

Seoru-ri held out her diary with a shocked face.

Also, I don’t know what you mean.

In the end, I couldn’t resist and went out. No matter how difficult the situation, I didn’t want to bully the child.

Scratching her head and checking to see if no one is leaving, Lee Ji-ah, who is behind her, smiles brightly.

“thank god.”

“why?”

“Since the gate opened, somehow, it’s not as usual.”

“I am? What’s different?”

Lee Ji-ah suddenly smiles with Buddha. His characteristic smile that looks kind and generous. She pointed her finger at her face.

“Isn’t Hyunwoo’s face like this normally?”

“Oh, I didn’t.”

“It was.”

She opens her eyes sharp this time. And you stare at me fiercely.

“It’s been like this since Monster Gate exploded.”

“… … .”

“If you don’t believe it, take a look at what we filmed later. Because I thought people were carrying two faces. But Hyunwoo, do you like babies?”

“I like it. Who doesn’t like babies?”

When I touch my soft cheeks, I think that world affairs are okay no matter what.

“It’s not like that, it just seems like you can’t live and die younger than you.”

“yes?”

Writer Choi, who was filming behind the scenes, laughs.

“Captain, Lee Ji-ah. All private conversations are recorded. Think carefully and speak.”

“No, it’s not like that… … .”

I was just about to express my regret.

The bus in the front row suddenly started and started. This is the bus I was riding on. And the guy driving that guy was shot in the leg earlier.

I know what you’re doing.

They seem to be trying to run away from us. Or maybe take a bus to f*ck you.

Whatever it is, it cannot be left alone.

The transport work must have been finished anyway, and I wouldn’t say much even if I die while walking around alone, but there was a child in the luggage compartment.

“Jia, go and catch the bus that is running away—”

It was before I even finished my words.

A four-legged medium-sized monster suddenly popped out and slammed the side of the bus with its horns.

The floating bus overturned.

*

I asked Lee Ji-ah to deal with the monster and ran to the bus.

It was fortunate that no people were on the bus, but the child was in the luggage compartment.

Oil drips from an overturned bus. I signaled to the buses to get off and checked the luggage compartment first.

I grabbed the crumpled door and pulled it. don’t even blink Lee Ji-ah’s urgent voice is heard from behind.

“Mr. Hyunwoo! Are you crazy? You never know when it will explode, what are you doing?”

“Jia, open the door! There’s a kid inside!”

“yes?!”

Lee Ji-ah grabbed the handle. The door leaf was torn like a piece of paper. I crawled inside and found the child.

“Seoruri!”

I see Seoru-ri trembling in the corner. He grabbed the child and crawled outside.

and,

Kuquaang–!!

As soon as I got out of the bus, I felt the heat behind my back. He lay on the ground with the child in his arms. Debris splattered in all directions fell from the sky.

As I stared blankly at the scene, the scene from the picture diary I saw earlier came to mind.

– Here more, more, more… … it doesn’t hurt

I looked at Seoru-ri, who was in my arms.

The child was sobbing with his picture diary up to the sky.

“Ugh-! What did I say, I’m not a scammer!”
