The Little Prince in the Ossuary

# Shadowed Parchment (8)

The monitor that illuminated the scene was turned off. The speakers who were talking were silent. There are more areas where unmanned surveillance systems have become useless. At least some of Esther's ‘spills’ must have sensed the flow of current, such as a parent. Winter imagined something small and swift gnawing at the wiring of a narrow gap. You don't understand the meaning of the act, you repeat the same behavior with your immature head.

The control room relied on the helmet cameras of the field agents, but even the noise was severe. Even an urgent report of radio interference blurred into an unclear voice. The only thing that's clear is the wires.

The troops focused in the first place were insufficient to handle the dispersed situation. Picture, who was pouring out a flood of orders, throws the headset and turns away.

“We just had a conversation! What was it about?"

Winter was as concise as possible. Reaffirmed objective, unlikely to be false. Trickster transmissions can be decoded, short pregnancy and childbirth. But it's unclear how much it gave birth. He also understands his strategic value. Director Grimm used a giant statue.

“I have to go out myself! Commander to the last line of defense!”

It means that he will be entrusted with command of the Church. Protect Pastor Park Tae-sun.

“What are the instructions?"

“On it! I'll take the blame!" Shriver! Take those two and follow them! ”

It was an immediate decision. Three armed escorts clamped into the winter.

That didn't mean we had to leave the control room. Unmanned turrets and remote-controlled landmines were still more than half normal. The same could be said for surveillance, especially if all other systems were disabled. The key was given to the West Station Chief.

He had a lot to say, but respected the security chief's authority. It was not a time-consuming system of demands and questions.

‘However, if I do, I'll blow it all up. ’

Maybe that's why. I gave my request to the winter march. Point to your ears.

“Keep your communication as close as possible. ”

Warning that if you don't, you will be swept away in incineration. The bioprotection physician was also a non-combustible material, but it is not sufficient to ensure survival in the fire that burns the entire biosphere. Then death is somewhere between sosa and suffocation. Winter came straight out, nodding once. Even if I tried, I could not help it.

However, the radio is not completely dead, and there was intermittent communication and situation propagation until we got there.

[Prisoner Oscar 31! Fifth Lab Secured! Check the Materials Depot for multiple Cages! Unidentified hostiles estimated to be at least 22!]

[Contact! Contact! New target identified! Escape to District 7! Permission to pursue!]

[No! No! Hold it right there!]

[31! What's he look like there? This is Acid Explosion!]

There was also a notice that two more devils were deployed nearby. Entering the area where the Strategic Bomber squadron was stationed, he was eager to take on an allied assassination. The entire Fort Robert garrison has been alerted.

It was inevitable. As a precaution for when the situation will be resolved within the base.

‘Even though this is the rear, there may be a long-standing silent Trickster within range of radio waves. There were also a group of mutants found nearby recently……. We need to seal off the entire area. The later the hole gets bigger. ’

The creature that handles electricity emits a large amount of propagation as soon as it encounters death. It is to convey the final experience to the peers who will be somewhere around.

What if Esther does, too?

How much information Trickster contains in the handset's screams is still unknown. Therefore, we had to assume the worst. In other words, it is possible that the mutants understand human language. Human thinking is sophisticated because it is verbal. The threat of plague will be imminent.

Would a deformed girl do such a thing? I wasn't sure it wasn't the winter I asked myself. If we don't achieve revenge and die, how deeply will that mourn be? Wouldn't it be a world cursed in a yard that curses God? Maybe I should entrust hatred to the starving end....

Maybe that last scream is some kind of instinct for abilities. Leaving and drinking an inheritance that has nothing to do with your doctor. It will be another tragedy for Esther.

Or maybe it's already transmitted.

Electroelectric squadrons are flying to disrupt station propagation, but will not be able to make it up there easily. The interference covers Pia, and Trickster's communication band spans a wide range of frequencies. But it will be effective to prevent further spread.

Suddenly, the church steeple came close. A faint hymn begins to sound.

Winter heard the sound of a tooth clamping.

“Hostiles, 9 o'clock! ”

Shriver scratches his speech, shouting. But you missed, because the target was a small, urgent shot. Winter didn't shoot on purpose. Raise your hands and hold off the controllers.

“Wait!”

I wanted to observe for a while. I wanted to know if I'd ever missed sensory correction.

A premature child with a split pink flesh is sighing for a fatigued breath. The size is small. A sharp, jagged dentition rises in two. diagonally elongated scalp. There are no eyes, but as you can see, you turn your head in the direction of winter and Shriver.

Patriotism

Crying without energy. And I crawled slowly. Knees and elbows were already close together. A long bloodstain remains in the vaguely attractive soil. Then he collapses. I stopped breathing for a while. The protuberance tongue flows through your teeth. It was over.

“What……. ”

Shriver's Zinc Mumbling.

Taang!

Winter has struck down. A hole formed in the premature child's torso.

“Stay close. ”

It was a special enemy and asked whether there was a blockade. But instead of sensory correction being blocked, it was buried as too small a threat. In order to feel the detail, the existence of the herald Esther was intense.

When I arrived in front of the church, I saw a strange sight. I had a hunch that there were still congregation members in the audience from afar, but I was surprised that they were holding hands and blocking the entrance to the church.

We overcome adversity with the reverend's love

Know the grace of the Lord, your great love

To endure pain and enter the gates of heaven

"Ah, for us, you are only a pastor, for us"

Winter found the leader of the last line of defense, instead of Shriver, who was speechless because of his absurdity.

“Here! Who's the best? ”

Two men came out of the fence. One was a commander, the other a communicator. I was covered with a mask in protective clothing, but only the equipment could distinguish me.

“Sergeant Doyle. I heard that he was coming and was waiting. It's an honor to meet you. ”

“Sergeant?”

“For convenience, I'm using a pre-natal rank. ”

“All right, then, Sergeant, what are they still doing? ”

Of course we have to evacuate. We have to protect them both as civilians and as research subjects. In the eyes of the government that cannot increase the victims of the Cultists, it is vital that already infected people are present. After losing them all, the research method will be extremely limited. Therefore, they would have been instructed to evacuate immediately. It was hard to understand this scene now.

“We tried to lead them elsewhere, of course. ”

Sergeant Doyle sighs a long time.

“But Pastor Park did something useless.... ”

“Useless things? ”

“I don't know if you know, but he doesn't trust us. He's delusional. He wants to take him to the panic room, and all of a sudden he's glowing. He was screaming something...... It felt like he was asking the believers to protect him. The congregation suddenly turned aggressive. ”

“So you just let it go? ”

“What can I do? Each and every one of them is no ordinary human being. Strength is almost at the mutant level. I almost got my gun taken away. I couldn't struggle with the Cultists in the yard without knowing when the real enemy would arrive. ”

“…… Okay. ”

“Will you be in command here?" ”

Before answering, Winter examines the troop deployment. The troops who blocked the path to the church were no more than two platoons. The guards behind the singing Cultists were all expressing frustration. It would be funny to face the enemy in these conditions.

Winter shakes its head.

“No. With this kind of force, I'd be better off on my own. You're half the commander who doesn't know the skill or ability of each of your squads. It looks better to keep the sergeant in command. As head of the department, I only make policy decisions. Anything else, coordinate with Shriver here. ”

“I understand.”

“Overpower comes first for the main target. I'll deal with this first. Let's change our response policy depending on the situation. ”

“Are you serious?”

“Yes. If you need anything, I'll ask you. ”

Picture said he would take full responsibility for the winter decision. However, it is not a complete exoneration. If things went wrong, Winter would also be somewhat responsible as a party to our discretion.

“That's right. ”

Winter felt a question.

“Why did you leave the heavy artillery equipment alone? ”

Sergeant Doyle shouts.

“I've sent a mediator into the process of sedating the congregation. There was a struggle, and I was able to get the batteries out safely, and when I got back, I plugged in the power cables, and I saw that the power was cut. ”

“Are you completely useless? ”

“That's not true, but the available time is usually less than 10 minutes. I decided it would be better to take off my clothes than to lose power during the war. I think maneuverability is more important than defense... Should I tell them to put them back on? ”

Medic becomes dipshit when the battery is discharged. Reasons to bear the weight of gloves with pure health. As long as it wasn't winter, it was just a slow walk. The burden of being surrounded by an enemy is even heavier, so it is hard to anticipate your role as a mediator even when you are wearing gloves. It's the only defense left, like the sergeant said.

But 10 minutes was not just a short time. Winter asks.

“That 10 minutes assumes consumption in a combat situation? ”

“Of course.”

“Well, why don't you put five people on standby? At least one crisis can be overcome safely. ”

“Mmmm... ”

The gunfire is imminent. You can also see the black smoke rising. It seemed to be using a flamethrower somewhere. It also has a digestive system, so it won't expand into a conversation fire.

‘If it works with electricity too, it's a problem. ’

As long as the ordinary fire spread, rather than incinerating the stations, it would not interfere with the survival of the guards.

Sergeant Doyle, who was contemplating, accepted the winter offer.

“I'll do that. Excuse me for a moment.”

While the sergeant called for several men, Winter checked the communications network.

“Shriver, are you connected to the control room? ”

“The wired network is intact, satellite terminals need to be connected to a directional antenna, and I will use the wireless network only at close range. Sensitivity is very poor. ”

It means that the source of the interference is nearby. We don't even know how close it is in winter.

A new warning has been added to the sensory correction. It is not a minor threat as it is distinguishable from Esther's existence. I wonder how much time has passed since winter measured the direction. The threat revealed its identity. One of the guards did something bad.

“There's a gatherer in the front! ”

Monsters appear. However, as the place was a place, it could not be organized into variants. They should be regarded as members of the congregation because they were generally clean, whether in a suit or a patient suit. The blunt faces do not give rise to violent desires to bite humans. I don't know why I didn't attend the prayer.

“Stop! Stop! ”

The guards pronounced obscure Korean. I seem to be familiar with it while controlling the congregation. However, the total communication was overwhelming. So winter came.

“You guys! You can't be here! Stop right there! ”

Keep your finger on the trigger of the rifle. For ordinary people, there would have been no "crisis detection."

Again, the leading man mutters in a dazzled voice.

“In my head……. My voice... ”

On his neck were two teeth marks with two rows of dentition. As winter comes, I think of a premature child who was killed. In addition, characteristic propagation by re-infection.
