Chemistry

Same time. Command Post.

Jungwoo squats on the ground on one side of the parking lot.

Everything was burnt white.

I spent 10 hours in helicopters and refueling stations only, except for the time I ate a hamburger with a pilot at lunch.

My ears are deaf, I'm sitting on the ground, and I can feel the helicopter vibrating, and now I spill my sleep to see if the caffeine doesn't work.

“Oh, I'm going to die. ”

Jiaying.

When I got the phone call, it was Yoon Iseol.

“Yes, Mr. Lee Seol. ”

- Chief Ji saw Jungwoo on the JBN breakthrough video. Are you in the high forest area?

Jungwoo also told Yoon Seul about what he told his mother and Suh in the morning.

“It's the company. It's not dangerous. It's almost over. ”

- Was it Mr. Jungwoo, the researcher from Masscom?

“I don't know about that. I can't even watch the news. ”

- You said there were close to 100 wounded. Don't get hurt. I'll get angry.

Jung recalled what she had been through when she got angry, and said after a mourning smile.

“Even if it were, I'd be angry. Don't do anything else. ”

- What are you doing? You've done worse. And I called because I wanted to see you, so don't hang up, just give me another five minutes. If I just get weird as a sergeant, Jungwoo will be responsible.

Her voice came out laughing. After having a conversation, I felt energized by my exhausted mind.

‘I think I'll get tired if Lee Seul sings next to me. ’

After finishing the call, those who were similar to Jungwoo who were resting for a while and drooping.

“Boss, Pildu. ”

Rescue team one.

It was hard to see people who weren't in that condition in this area. Even the 24-hour news crews were sitting halfway around the world.

Kim Jae-ho stood in front of Jungwoo and asked.

“If it's one of our cups, I'm going to eat the rations. Would you like to join me? ”

“Yes, very good. ”

Nine men sat around with water cups in front of them.

“Every time I go to the rescue, all the firemen I know talk about Mr. Jungwoo. ”

“Me?”

“Better instruction than a horse captain. because there are so many muscles in the brain that they tend to work ignorantly. And frankly, I agree with that. All the other teams take shifts, and we just go straight. That's just plain rude.”

I swung my head toward the Tent of the Situation Room where I set my words. The life of a veteran firefighter who survived any disaster would be in jeopardy for another reason if he had heard of it.

“I noticed that you follow Jungwoo, the elementary school's alumni. Maybe. ”

“No, it's not.”

“But you do have a girlfriend, right? ”

Jungwoo smiled and avoided the answer.

While I was waiting for Cuparon to ripen, there were stories of incident incidents that occurred between last night and today. The compassion of living and crashing together. Jungwoo didn't feel this bad.

It was about two minutes after pouring hot water.

The tent of the command post snaps open, and Miles reaches out his head.

“Jae-ho! There's an isolator up north! It's rough terrain. Get to the rescue helicopter! ”

All first responders put chopsticks on this order. An absolute jinx among firefighters. Requests for rescue come when the water is raised.

“Oops.”

Kim Jae-ho smiled bitterly at Jungwoo's gaze as he looked at them on the way, saying.

“I'll be back before ramen blows. Secure the asset, all right. ”

“Have a safe trip. ”

Milesu says to Jae-ho Kim, "Good job!” After shouting, I approached Jungwoo.

“We, the Head of Evolution Operations, I'll have a soju when I go to Seoul. ”

“What position are you in this time? I'm still in charge of medicine, right? ”

“Huh-huh.”

Miles looking at Jungwoo gently asked me with a serious face.

“By what grace of heaven have you fallen? ”

“Yes?”

Cheers.

- Ma'am! Situation room!

Mileage's expression shifts on the urgent radio.

Jungwoo felt an unusual atmosphere and ran to the situation room, putting down the cup he was holding.

“Is the fire spreading? ”

Jungwoo turned his gaze to the area indicated on the terrain diagram.

A new reported fire was a place that slowly gathered fire energy along the slopes and suddenly exploded.

The situation will turn into the same large fire as last night, no matter how late the response is. There was also a dense community of pensions, ski fields, and elementary schools right next door.

Milesu called in all available evolutionary personnel and called in the helicopter.

Cheers.

- I'm sorry, I can't.

- So are we.

- Captain. Is there a shift yet?

In addition to the fatigue overlap, few evolutionary commanders have responded since the 18-hour active evolutionary team were placenta who struggled just by assisting in the evolution of existing wildfires.

There are only a couple of tights where we can send them.

Miles considers sending more than 50 firefighters into emergency deployment, which he has removed as a lifeguard.

‘If I had any KG chemicals left, I could have helped a little. ’

Jungwoo's cell phone was ringing while watching the situation.

"Huh? Why?" ’

Jungwoo moves toward the corner of the tent and presses the call button.

“Director Yoon Jae-gil? ”

- Oh, Jungwoo. Long time no see.

“What brings you here? ”

- KG chemistry does that. We, the same drug suppliers, can't just sit back and do nothing. Since I've sent support on behalf of Team Leader Jeongsung Park, please make good use of Mr. Jungwoo, the field manager. He's probably out in the parking lot right now.

Eugene Chemical's supply. Glad to hear it.

After finishing the call, Jungwoo searched the forest resource situation analyzed by Professor Hand and approached Miles.

“Captain Ma. ”

Miles, who was on the radio, turns his head.

“To those of you who are about to be admitted, please tell them to take mine, not the powdered medicines they supplied. 20 minutes. No, just give me 10 minutes, and I'll put together a custom anti-inflammatory solution for the wildfires. ”

Jungwoo quickly ran out of the tent.

“Mr. Park! ”

Park Il-sung steps down from the truck marked by Eugene Chemical. As I looked at Jungwoo's condition, Park Il-sung filled his tongue.

“Captain, what the hell is this guy doing to you? ”

“It was going to happen a little bit. ”

Jungwoo's outfit spent a day in the wildfires was the evolutionary crew itself who played a musical duel.

“Huh, the firefighter's all set. ”

Jung smiled lightly at Park Ilsung's sigh, pointing to the truck.

“Open the warehouse, please. We need to get her out of there now. ”

“I see.”

As Jungwoo continued to take out the medicine box by type, Park Il-sung approached and asked.

“You're not just going to vent, are you going to improve here? Our mobile lab isn't here. He's not in the country right now. ”

“I'm just going to mix it up a little bit, so don't worry about it. ”

A sparkling light appeared and disappeared from the open eyes of Jungwoo.

Park Il-Seong watched as if he was amazed at the beginning of the crafting process with a Dalang Shovel.

Cheers.

- Approaching the perimeter north of Marsan.

Miles, who was being reported for early evolution, studied the terrain.

“The quickest way to the side of the farm there. Joe, first responders, identify and report the fire. ”

Cheers.

Dozens of combustion points within a kilometer radius. We don't know if we can hold them off alone.

Miles' gaze was on Jungwoo in this report.

We've been gone 10 minutes, and we've been on fire for 10 more minutes. But Jungwoo's judgment yesterday was always right. Ten minutes would have been worth it.

Miles with a radio said:

“You guys, you're doing great on the medicine you're losing on your back. Specially crafted by KG chemistry experts. You heard about the bomb at dawn, right? Be confident and burn all those damn wildfires! ”

Cheers.

- Starting with the first trillion to george fire.

“I'm a chemistry expert now. You've come around and come around. Whew.”

Jungwoo said, Shin Jong-seok who was checking on the injured situation burst into laughter.

Interview: Shin Jong-seok

- How was he in the Situation Room?

“Can I be honest? I was involved as a paramedic and said, but I was amazed. It was about 1: 00 in the morning? When he suggested we put in a medicine with a special principle, the only person who listened was the horse captain. And then, boom! You've seen the news, right? The eastern evolutionary line would have been breached many times without the special medicine he devised. ”

- He's been on a weekly evolutionary mission.

“Inputs? No. He took the lead. Was it good? I would say that by evening, I had built a lot of trust with almost every field leader. In a situation that had to be serious, did it become a glimmer of hope? Chemists are amazing, aren't they? I don't think chemistry is universal in firefighting. But he kept getting me thinking that. ”

AM 11: 03 - Survivors

Twelve hours have passed since the discovery of the great fire disappeared. Miles looks back at the people inside the command post one by one from the center of the Situation Room Table.

“At this time, the special field commander will transfer all authority to the Forest Service. ”

In the official declaration that the disaster phase had fallen, everyone in the Situation Room sighed for relief.

Shin Jong-seok also opened his mouth.

“This is your Emergency Control Officer's final report. Two heavy casualties in Seoul were successfully repaired and no more injuries have occurred on site since 12 hours ago. ”

[Death: 0 Injured: 81]

The victim's records from the last two days.

Miles walked to the situation board and pinpointed death zero.

“I've never seen a disaster in 13 years in a firefighter's life where people were injured and didn't die. Chief Oh, I have a long, boring fire extinguisher to deal with. I'm going to ask you to keep this number here. ”

“Let's try. ”

“· · Jungwoo. ”

Jungwoo, who was dozing off on Miles' call, opened his eyes.

“Oh! Are we going? ”

Jungwoo stood up in his‘ watch out for the fire ’hat.

“Your work is done now. Go back and get some rest. ”

“Oh, what a surprise. Finally?”

Mileso bows his head to Jungwoo, who looks unbelievable.

“I'm so glad you're here. I'm not a firefighter, but thank you for fighting with me like one. ”

You scratch your chin, looking at the number of miles you don't want to lift your waist.

“Oh, don't do that. We've all suffered together. ”

Chief Ohsun Yong also approached Jungwoo and reached out his hand.

“Spring will be happy every year if Mr. Jungwoo is at the Forest Service. Thank you for your help in catching the fire so late. ”

“Ahh · · · · · · · · · · ·. You're welcome."

As the awkward atmosphere continued, Jungwoo quickly greeted them and left.

Boooong...

Jungwoo, who was sitting in the back seat of the anti-limo car heading to Seoul, looked out at the landscape.

Traces of fire have swept through the mountains and fields. However, the sky above was as blue and clear as yesterday's East Sea.

On the other side of the mountain, the forest on the other side of the peak, which led to the heavy rain, remained the original of the tree. When the spring rains rain and the greenery grows, the dam will be able to rebuild its nest.

While the car was moving along the road, it also passed in front of a barracks labeled "Wildlife Rescue Camp."

‘Silver thread.’

Inside an open barracks. "Cool.” I was impressed.

Wildfires.

This was a disaster that had to die not only for humans and trees, but also for the animals that lived there.

‘Why did I help so hard? ’

I can't believe my mission. I don't know what kind of rich movie you've been here for 36 hours.

“Oh, I don't know. Nature, people, we're safe for now. ”

I yawned big and stretched my stiff arms and legs, but there was something I could hardly think of.

A can of beer that was dragged here and never drank.

I imagined a breath of coolness and buried myself in the seat of Jungwoo.

Insomnia sucks.

As soon as I closed my eyes, I fell asleep.

(Interview: Yoon-Redacted)

“Do you · · · know · Limited Woo? It's the best chemist I know. ”

- How did you know we were preparing a feature?

“Journalist. Watching him and not writing a story is blasphemy. ”

- What's your relationship with him?

“It's a very sticky relationship. I could have been my own man if I'd taken one quick shot. It's still top-secret, but we're working on a grand plan for him. A revolutionary total care system. This is going to be a fantastic collaborative project. ”

(Professional talks have been going on for a long time.)

- You have requested anonymity, can you disclose this?

“Please edit accordingly. Please emphasize as much as you can that someone is paying attention. So, that's it for the interview. Ugh! I want it, Limited Woo! ”

"The damage caused by · · · · wildfires was significant. The Forest Service announced that it would only take 30 years for the forests of every peak to be restored.

But that day, all the lives saved by those who jumped without rest in the opposite direction of everything that had escaped from the forest fire were lived to see this forest restored.

While typing, Sung Ryl turns his head to the dark dawn sky outside his window and turns his base.

I got up from my seat after pressing the save button.

When I came back with my coffee, I noticed a photo on the printer that I printed a few hours ago.

Because there was so much in one chapter, Saint-Lyle once again became clear to me when I filmed this, a picture that remained deeper in the brain than any story that had been covered in journalism for eight years.

Beneath the smoky night sky, you see mountains covered in flowerpots and charred pine trees underneath.

On the left, rescuers shivering away from the approaching flames, and on the right, rescuers facing a raging flame in a position that can protect them at any time.

And...

As the burning branch falls restlessly over your head, you see him holding the center of the group in desperate flames.

- It'll be over soon.

Standing over a woman with an open fire jacket, he calmly explained in gestures and words that this is not the place to be afraid of.

His smile is really bright and affectionate, as he smiles to reassure his anxious friend.

After a short break, Sung Ryl left the photo next to his laptop and started typing the last time.

· · · With the trust of everyone, he politely refused by phone when he asked for an interview.

He also said that he was not a special person. I just did what any of the other 5,000 normal people in this business had to do.

The only questions he asked after he left the scene were showers, beer cans, and sleep.

A normal person who became family, a friend to someone, and a savior to someone.

Jungwoo.

He's a chemist.
