Cheers.

- Listen to me, Kaya. Wolves are learning animals. When you attack a human, you never know that the entire horde can be destroyed in reverse.

On your way out of the pipeline for emergency repairs, Wolf heard about the situation.

Kaya, with a radio in her hand, turned up the volume so everyone could hear and then responded.

It's not the way they fear us. They keep their distance and they keep following.

- Looks like a new group of young bosses. Why did you lead Mr. Hahn away when you knew he was in danger?

"It's because he keeps mentioning superstitions. Absolute sense of smell is just a physical strength.

Kaya looked closely at Jungwoo. You smile reflectively as you stare into her eyes.

- Absolute sense of smell?

It will happen.

- You remember that time we met at the Coyote Trail? Warn them with flares when we get close. They'll scatter in shock.

The flare was used by Mr. Han to guard the pipeline.

Where's Bear Spray?

Use it as well. By the way, there are no flintstones, no waterproof matches. Don't tell me to make torches out of spilled oil.

Wolf's radio has not continued for a while, as if bewildered.

Jungwoo is hot. Once she's become the one who dragged her beautiful daughter into limb and got rid of her countermeasures, she has to watch out for more than just gray wolves in these woods.

‘Hmph.'

Thinking about the fatal muscle of the 'Idiot Wolf’ waiting at base camp, I sweated on my back.

Cheers.

- I still don't get it.

Don't ask me. I don't even know if I can see it from my side.

- Are you kidding me, Oriental mystery?

He said it was his eldest son's destiny. Is there anything else you want to tell me?

- Don't worry, we got a call from the rescue team. But we don't have a lot of safety options. Remember, artificial threats work for wildlife? Show them you're not worthy of anything. Ride a tree if you have to. Wolves can't climb trees.

Kaya, who had a radio around her waist after finishing her communication, looks back at Jungwoo.

You heard the warning, right?

· · · Yes.

After Jung clears his throat, he looks around for more danger from the wolves.

In about 10 minutes.

Aooooo-

You hear the wolf howling in the distance. Consecutive howling began throughout the forest.

Survival Expert Lady.

Luke calls Kaya to the lead with a more serious expression.

Shouldn't we run away with electricity before we get beaten? That scouting wolf keeps staring at me, so I feel bad.

You must never run within the sight of a wolf. That's exactly what we call prey. It's the predator's instinct to go after the weakling who turned his back.

Luke pauses. Simpson takes out the anesthetic blugan from behind his back and binds it to her, saying she'd rather face it.

‘Oh, my God, I can't even run away. ’

I blinked my eyes that filled my tongue and watched the forest with the sound waves.

A long wave 10 meters long was responsible for the communication between the wolves, creating a deflection between the rocks and the trunks. The scout wolf, who was following closely, stops with his ears tilted and raises his head toward the sky.

Are you trying to reach me? ’

You take out the batteries for the radio replacement out of your bag without even thinking about trying to stop this. You hear a rumbling sound as you tap the canteen of the waist dance.

‘At least I'm glad it's warm. ’

To increase reactivity, the sprinkled spring water on the gloves first attracted a lot of dust stars.

A free electron powered by the ionic reaction in the battery extends out towards the one that just started to cry. But because of the relatively long tremor, I couldn't pull out any of his sound waves.

‘I'd rather be distracted. ’

If a wave with the opposite sound of crying and vibration would have the effect of blocking the noise.

Kaya turns her eyes toward Jungwoo, waving her batteries around and acting strangely.

What are you doing?

"Oh, wait a minute.

Jungwoo waved his arms harder to adjust the sound line of the full width, wavelength, and frequency caused by the free electrons. When it overlaps with the sound of the wolf's outgoing sound, it again shoots as much dust as possible.

The wolf, who was in constant contact with his companion in tears, tilts his head.

- Uh-huh?

The wolf doesn't know what to do when the sound doesn't spread as far as it's blocked by an invisible wall.

Jungwoo continued to produce the opposite dust that would shake the batteries to counteract his sound waves.

Soon, Howling stopped happening simultaneously throughout the forest.

No, thank you.

After Jung finally stopped acting, Kaya's gaze on Jung, who had walked ahead, stopped. She smiles beautifully, putting a battery in her pocket to tell you what happened to her head to the wolf threat.

"Kaya, do you know the nature of the wave of offsetting interference?

Don't know.

It was an experiment. It doesn't mean anything.

Kaya points out that the scout wolf that was following her suddenly stopped walking and was just wandering towards the sky.

"She's doing it for nothing, right?

Eh · · · Well. What's wrong with him? I don't know anything about wild animals.

Jungwoo greets with an innocent face. Kaya lets out a small sigh, looking at him with narrow eyes.

When you go with Mr. Han, everything you've been trained to understand is lighter.

You never have to feel that way. I respect and trust Kaya's abilities. In the glacier, and here. It's entirely Kaya's guidance that allows us to move through the mud without getting too wet.

"Thank you. Take care of the head of security.

He smiles bitterly at Kaya's bony tone.

If my brother had been as trustworthy as Kaya, he would have lost a little weight as his eldest son · ·

Baslac, a sound wave, touched beside Jungwoo's gaze. Jung turns his head and suddenly sees a blunt tail.

· · · Wolverine is running away.

Where?

That way.

When Kaya turns her head, Wolverine has already left. Kaya, who was chasing the trail with binoculars, moans low.

Our line overlaps with Wolverine's escape line.

Jungwoo quickly closed his eyes, recalling Wolverine's appearance a few hours before fleeing to avoid a higher predator.

An infrared view of the wolf pack reveals that five figures are racing.

Kaya. the wolf is getting close fast. about a mile to five.

You'll be caught before you reach rendezvous point. Can you identify the scout wolf?

I'm still there. I can't see it, but it's about 400 meters away.

Warn me immediately if a wolf is detected nearby. And.

Kaya looks back at Luke and Simpson walking behind her, followed by a horse.

Run, everyone. Continue until Mr. Han warns you. We need to buy some time.

Splash.

The muddy water was fried.

I remember seeing this scene earlier, running through the forest like the five wolves were chasing Jung Woong.

The hunting technique of the wolf pack that pushed Moose into a trap.

If there is a siege ahead, I hid and looked ahead because it is a big deal.

‘It's okay. It's not within a mile. ’

Following the verdict, I took a step forward.

Infrared vision means sensing things with temperature. Because of this, the insulation was great, so the sensing of things that did not contain heat was only slower.

‘! ’

A cotton tree that meets the conditions suddenly came out of nowhere.

Jungwoo quickly turned around and got caught by the roots of the tree that protruded from his body. Bang, hit the tree next to him, and his bag got caught, redirecting.

A body floating like an airbed.

At 3 p.m., the clear sky in Alaska had a warm color of 9 degrees below zero.

Thud, thud!

The vision shifted into darkness as it collided with the ground.

Mr. Han!

You hear a voice that you don't know, Luke or Simpson, and you lose consciousness.

It was clearly a dream. It was like my hands and feet were looking down inadvertently. He seemed to be about five years old, laughing and following me around.

- Bro, come with me!

The two normal kids who come to the country grandmother's house to play.

Even though I dipped my feet in the stream next to the old tree, or just ran up the hill and looked down at the field, my face was clear as if I had finished a great journey.

What are you so happy about? ’

When I was a kid with vague imaginations about nature, I expected a much bolder and more convoluted adventure than anything unrealistic in the middle of Alaska.

When I got older and hit by the world, I just forgot.

What, am I dead? ’

When I woke up from my dream and shivered with anxiety.

· · · · · · · Mr. Han. Are you awake, Mr. Han?

Jung opened his eyes in the agony of breaking his head. It was still in the middle of the forest. With Kaya's legs cut off, she wraps a first aid hoodie around her head.

See this? Focus.

Kaya waves her finger right in front of you.

What happened?

It was mild concussion.

Wolf · · ·

Jungwoo immediately raised his upper body. Luke holding the probe as a weapon and Simpson holding the anesthesia blogan stand guard, and five wolves were seen 200 metres in front of him.

We're almost caught up.

The voice of Kaya immediately resonated.

How long have I been out?

10 Minutes. Can you move?

I stuttered around and touched my back water. There was a lump of walnuts. Jung woo flinched with the pain that followed. As the situation was, I had to move even if my leg was broken.

I only have a headache for now.

When Jungwoo gets up, he gives you a look to see if Luke is okay. Jungwoo nods and turns his gaze toward the wolf.

I was just staring at this side, but there was no other action yet.

Walk slowly backwards. If I see any sign of him running, I'll scream.

Kaya instructs everyone to take a step back.

The wolves who were watching as they approached to narrow the street, Luke said, "Get away!” I pounded the probes on the floor. Simpson also said, "Move!” With a loud shout, I clapped my hands.

“You bastards! Technically, I was protecting your forest from an oil spill! ”

Jungwoo was also screeching and massaging his glabella.

It was when the 100 meters had retreated.

Four more wolves appear with a rattling sound. The wolves' response becomes more active as there is a discrepancy.

It's closing!

Miss, what do you do?

It followed Luke and Simpson's bewildering voice.

It's a spruce forest 50 meters away. Climb on a tree and wait for support.

Kaya pulls the rope out and ties a nice knot on the trunk. She cuts it off with a knife and releases it to Jungwoo.

Find a thick tree, tie it up as high as you can, and step on it. Repeat that. You have to stand at least two meters up. Can you do that?

I've never done it.

Save the pipeline as best you can, and do it if you don't want to be named the dead hero in front of it. It's not that hard.

In the meantime, Kaya was calm and calm. She makes up for Luke and Simpson.

Situation that is close to a dead end.

Jung felt overwhelmed by the eyes of the yellow flashing wolves. It seemed like I could tell if the noise from the humans was a bluff or not.

Don't run!

Upon arriving in the forest, Simpson rushes to the tree. Kaya urgently grabs his arm.

Slowly. You have to use the fact that you're still alert.

Nine wolves slowly approach, and the group wraps rope around the tree one by one. Kaya climbs up lightly, simply chopping down the Piceloman tree, and grabs the radio in her hand.

Rescue Party. The wolf surrounded me because I failed to escape. I'll get you the GPS coordinates, so please come this way.

Cheers.

- Where are you?

Jungwoo grabbed the tree and rocked up, then tied the rope back up to a height of approximately 2.5 meters. Luke climbs up the rope and grabs the tree.

Simpson! Hurry!

I'm trying!

However, Simpson was struggling to get up because he was too big.

Jungwoo saw the wolves arrive 100 meters away and swallowed a groan.

‘This is really dangerous. ’

After radio contact, Kaya checks on Simpson and jumps right off. She shouts to Jungwoo and Luke, who have secured a safe height.

The two of you are there!

Kaya approaches the Simpson tree and starts tying the ropes tighter.

I'm sorry, Kaya.

Come on up.

As Kaya pushes Simpson's back, the wolves slowly speed up and approach.

Ow!

At the same time, I let out a cry, but there were several of them, so I couldn't block them with my heart. At this rate, all 20 of them were ready to gather here.

‘We need to be prepared for anything. ’

Jungwoo put his hand in his pocket and pulled out the battery. It's for radio use, so it's not very large, and I almost consumed it before.

‘No, this won't help the battery bomb. It'll be as good as fireworks. ’

Luke, hung from a tree next to him, looks up at Jungwoo's vision as he ponders how to do it.

Luke.

Yes?

The Heart Drug. Is it urgent or can I use it?

I don't mind carrying it around like an amulet, but it's a vasodilator, not a fear sedative.

I know.

Luke reaches out with a bottle of pills that looks like bullets hanging from his neck. Jungwoo picks it up and immediately opens the stopper and places the pills on the glove. And I smashed it hard.

Luke looks down and cries out in surprise.

Ha, one's already here!

Simpson forcefully reached for the top of the tree. However, the quickest gray wolf in the world blocked Kaya's path.

Just stand still. The wolf stands in that direction, making sure she remembers the tree she stood on.

Kaya stares at the wolf's eyes without a word. The wolf growls as she carefully steps back and sees her exploring another tree.

Luke swings the probe down.

Son of a bitch! Rush towards me!

Simpson shot the anesthetic blogger in the mouth, but the needle fell helplessly at the wolf's feet due to the limit of the effective range of 5 meters.

Damn!

Rrrrr...

The wolf bares its teeth as if racing towards Kaya right now.

The instant.

“Back off.”

Jungwoo raises the battery's last ionic response and shoots a dust speck at the wolf's forehead.

Free electron swarms resonating with infrared wavelengths.

The wolf feels the heat spilling like a laser pointer and retreats back with a moaning. Kaya, who did not miss the indecision, stood up agile looking for a new tree.

After.

I was relieved to see her.

Kaya points to the wolf staring intensely at the tree.

Did Mr. Han do this?

What?

Don't take it off. You just did something weird.

I only smiled brightly at Kaya's fierce gaze, who did not lose to the ferocity of the wolf.

More than that, Kaya. Wolf instructor asked you for a boulder. Besides that, how about a nitroglycerin bomb?

What?

Take it.

Jungwoo throws a bullet-shaped aluminum bottle at Kaya.

What did you say just now? Did you say that artificial threats are effective for wildlife? You can throw it. Instead of the flare I forgot.

Kaya looks at the disease with a look that she cannot understand.

Are you kidding me, now?

I'm always serious.

The sensitive compound in the heart drug, nitroglycerin, was dissolved and stored in that bottle. Jungwoo dared to speak boldly imagining a small universe of molecular worlds where elemental stars collided and exploded in series.

Since they have shown fear of the natural ecosystem, you should show fear of the chemical ecosystem as a human being. It's simple. Shake it, throw it to the ground.

"I really don't know who you are.

Kaya cheats and shakes the bottle in her hand and throws it to the ground. The bottle rolls over the bottom of the cave.

Nothing happened.

Angry, she glances at Jungwoo.

It shouldn't explode while shaking, so it slows down the reaction rate a bit. The glycerin in there is soon intertwined · ·

The aluminum bottle vibrated as if it had suffered a single earthquake.

· · · has begun. Everyone, cover your ears!

Jungwoo covers the earholes by extending the sheep's detection.

Qajik, cracked bottle.

And.

Nicroglycerin molecules that had been compressed since the start of the reaction protruded from the cracks all at once.

Kuaaaaaa!

Dozens of times as loud as the howling of the wolves.

Molecules burned as they ignited the chain reaction became small fireballs that flew the manes of fire in the real world and soared into the air.

The wolves roar, rumbling, and scatter to the sides of Mt. Hornbach.

I explained to Jungwoo as if he didn't have to worry about the snowy Kaya because he threw it.

"Solids are hundreds of thousands of times more bulky when gaseous. And don't be surprised, we've highlighted the sound of molecules spreading widely. Look, the wolf right next to you is still bouncing.

That's not the point. Who the hell are you?

Luke looks at the stream on the other side of the tree, then turns his eyes to the blazing ground and hardens.

Me · · · · · · · · ·. Are you wearing a C4 around your neck?

Cheers.

Kaya, can you hear me? Judging by the location of the rescue team, we should be arriving within five minutes. You think you can hold out till then?

Kaya said with her radio in her hand.

Situation Ended. The wolves recognized a human's fear.

- I'm sorry?

Honestly, I'm scared now, too.

Eight o'clock p.m. Fairbanks City.

The lobby of the headquarters of Alaska Pipeline Service has been demoralized by crowded journalists. On a single, focused phase, the camera and microphone followed the announcement.

· · Eugene Chemical Act prevented it early. I am deeply grateful for the heroic actions of Mr. Han and the three men who discovered the spill and made urgent repairs on the spot.

As soon as the answer was finished, several reporters raised their hands.

- Government officials were confident they could use the pipeline permanently. But accidents happen in succession. Do you even have a backup plan?

- Just one word about the controversy that TAPS 'anti-corrosion measures have not been sufficient!

- During daytime interviews, the governor of Alaska expressed concern that the pipeline has a short life span. What do you think about closing it down and replacing it?

Neo sweated cold sweat at the questioning of reporters who could not easily answer any of them. Then I stopped outside the lobby and looked at the car.

They've arrived.

This is the last hotel I've been to. Facilities are fine because they're headquartered. You can take a hot shower.

Jung stepped out of the car explaining to Luke and Simpson and found cameras and people full of corporate lobbies and his eyes widened.

“What is it?”

The door of the headquarters was opened and the journalists rushed out. When they wrapped around the vehicle, Kaya went down in a state of panic.

Mr. Han! Who is Lim Wu?

"Me?” I turned my head. Dozens of cameras shot the flash all at once.

"Oh, what a mess. ’

Full of oil, rolling around in the mud, riding a mass-com in a shitty situation. While regretting to look in the mirror, nearby journalists have asked me questions.

Tell me one thing about the spill diagnostic process!

Environmental experts say that if the emergency measures were unsuccessful, tens of times 2.5 barrels of crude oil would have flowed to the Yukon River! If you have something to say?

What is the background of that bold determination to jump into a dangerous forest without safety measures?

As a corrosion specialist, I want your opinion on the life of the pipeline!

I thought about what to do with the pouring question, but I had a feeling that if I stayed here, I wouldn't be able to go straight to the hotel.

Oh, I see.

Once he opened his mouth, the journalists became silent for a moment.

Attempted urgent repairs were just accidental during the inspection. It doesn't mean much. And.

Jungwoo meets Neogi's eyes in the lobby, watching him. The one who begged for proper diagnosis and answers to the sick pipeline. I looked at it with my own eyes, about 450 miles later, and now I have some answers.

"A pipeline built to withstand the intensity of the earthquake, cracked by the collision with Moose, because of the aging that has been occurring for 40 years. The symptoms of the Alaskan pipeline are similar to arterial sclerosis where cholesterol builds up inside a human vessel. There's lots of wax on the inside, and the exterior is damaged by something else. Polar bears make landmarks, escaped livestock hits, avalanches, floods.

"You mean this pipeline is old and hopeless?

I shook my head in response to a surprise question from a journalist.

When a person is sick, do you throw them away? We know what's causing this and we're treating it. So is this. If you take care of it thoroughly now.

Jungwoo measured the speed of corrosion, said.

· · · I think 5 years will work.

The reporters all murmured. Neo's face darkened because he said he only had five years left.

Jungwoo was reminded of chemical combinations related to coatings, paints, corrosion removers, and corrosion prevention for Alaskan pipelines.

Don't get me wrong. That's what normal businesses do when they're managed. At least 20 years is OK if managed by the best professional teams.

The reporters shouted in Lee Dong-sung.

Where is it!

"Well, it's up to TAPS to decide. I'm so tired, bye.

Jungwoo looks down and walks toward the hotel.

Neogi stares out, unable to take her eyes off the back of the disappearing Jungwoo.
