PM 04: 27 - Gwanghwamun Administrative Security Entrance

As soon as the car stopped, Jung closed his eyes to the flash baptism spilling from everywhere.

“Mr. Choi, please don't wait in the parking lot and just come back. ”

Jungwoo, who said to the driver's seat, opened the door and went down.

“Mr. Jungwoo! ”

“Mr. Jungwoo! ”

Reporters who were posting photos in front of the building entering the disaster headquarters rushed like bees into the appearance of a chemist who did not miss first place in the search query rankings today.

“What do you think of Park Jae-cheol's claim as an insider in KG chemistry! ”

“An environmental group expert interviewed a chemist who saw more than 50 toxic substances and was able to analyze all of their interactions. Can you argue?”

“Some universities are considering using today's paper as an environmental science textbook! The chemistry professors acknowledged the deductibility of this report. Just one word about this! ”

Numerous questions poured in at the same time without rest.

Jungwoo's eyes met the number of miles coming out of the entrance. You want me to get rid of all the noisy reporters?

As soon as I set my eyes on it, I shook my head.

“Journalist.”

It was a short call, but everyone was silent for an interview.

“The contaminant release case is not over yet. I'll take care of the details first, and then I'll call a press conference. ”

“What do you mean? ”

“There's a substance X worth 3,950L somewhere. If we don't find it and take care of it, there's going to be a really big accident. ”

“If it's an accident, you're referring to the situation of the race.... ”

“No.”

Approximately 4 times more distributed material If you plot diffusivity in a graph, you will see a sharp skyscraper rather than a precise proportion.

“There will be a broad range of threats at least 16 times more serious than that. We have to stop him before he does. ”

This answer caused all reporters to look embarrassed. After the racetrack, I came to look for a special feature called Lim Wu, and the risk was unmatched.

I quickly passed through the gap of surprised journalists, and the question of late awakened journalists poured out like arrows.

“What do you mean, 16 cities, like racing, all at once? ”

“You quoted an X event in your report and you're sure there will be such a calamity! ”

Miles intercepted a reporter close behind Jungwoo's back. The reporter, who stumbled on his fierce chest muscles, flinches and retreats.

“Let's keep it down. Why are you so anxious about someone who suffers without paying for their country? ”

“The right of the people to know……. ”

Bam!

Miles slammed the column in front of the building, frowning.

“Journalist, do you know what the right to know is? ”

However, the entire entrance was shaken, and only a deaf journalist who was stunned by the tremor shook his head to the left and to the left.

“The right to live without reporting to 119! Who would be the best person to serve this right of the people in a situation where a chemical disaster is predicted? Hey, don't be afraid to answer. ”

The journalist who swallowed the saliva pointed to Jungwoo with trembling fingers.

“That's right, I know. If you understand, will you shut up and back off? Let's deal with Jungwoo and that first. ”

“W-what are you? ”

“Me?”

Miles, who was waving the label "Special Disaster Cooperator", turned.

Jungwoo smiled bitterly at the millennium that pushed the whole group back to India.

Jungwoo walked through the glass door to the second floor of the Situation Room.

“You don't have to do this. ”

“That's enough. I'm just trying to make excuses for you. Do you know what they've been saying to each other since daylight? I have no interest in stopping the race. That's all I'm digging up about who to curse. ”

The fact that the government has been accused of failing to prevent this as well as chemical companies have been accused. Jungwoo sighed.

‘Let's start with the situation. ’

The atmosphere of the situation room when I arrived was very dark.

As soon as Jungwoo sat down, he had to continue answering the questions flying from each department.

Most were advisors on environmental disasters when 4,000 liters of contaminants spread.

Given the situation of the race, the scenario in which all factors flow most favorably has been assumed.

“…… if it's still being discharged through normal wastewater treatment?" It may require a physicochemical pretreatment process because it's a flammable substance, but it can minimize its environmental impact. ”

The worst-case scenario was then assumed.

“But if it's still buried in the unknown or unauthorized air, And if it rains on it, every facility in the city will be destroyed by a superpolymer bombing. ”

Everyone who was listening felt a chill on their backs.

“I'm not just talking about grinding the surface. If you hit the bridge, the safety strength of the leg won't hold. because the activity of the molecule increases more than proportionately. The paralysis that the inhabitants of Ipsily experienced here will spread more rapidly throughout the country. ”

“If I find a sign, is it time to evacuate?" ”

“It's safer to be in a dry house than to evacuate. You have to turn on the thermostat to lower the humidity. ”

Jung finished consulting the contrast scenario over the course of 30 minutes and found thirsty water in his mouth. The man in the back handed over the Water Bottle directly.

I looked around the situation room for a sip of water.

Jung, who thought it would be resolved because he even found a company associated with the herald, was saddened by the fact that one person's irresponsible greed could lead to such a big accident.

‘Now let's try to stop the worst. ’

CCTV analysis shows a tanker truck leaving the factory site at night.

While taking a short break, an update was sent to the situation room.

Vehicle caught vaguely on a dark road. The truck was moving only to a blind spot, whether it knew its CCTV location.

The resolution was too low to determine if the X molecules were floating, but it was possible to speculate that there were four tons of contaminants in there due to speculation that they left from the triangular environment and moved north last night.

The first person who received the report said:

“If it was confiscated for evidence extinction, we can disseminate it at any time. ”

“If the media is talking about the risks like this, wouldn't they? ”

“If they cared about that, they would have followed the wastewater treatment process in the first place. ”

While officials were sitting around the central table, Jung Jong-gyu asked Jungwoo.

“What do you think of Mr. Jungwoo? ”

“If I had all the information on Substance X that I analyzed, I don't think I'd be able to just let it flow. because if you release this much without professional equipment, those people are dangerous. More than that……. ”

I heard more news from Ulsan Police Station during my comment.

- Young-deok tollgate CCTV footage from 1: 00 a.m. This is a crying seventh street traffic camera shot at 3: 00 a.m. Kyungpook and Gangwon will also cooperate with the police department to keep track.

With this, information was recorded on one side of the situation room that the truck that left at night headed toward Gangwon Province.

“Mr. Jungwoo. Continue what you were saying. ”

“Well…… I hate to say it, but today, 80 percent of the shares in TV news have been taken by me and chemical companies. In a very bad way. ”

Some officials smiled at the self-condemning joke of Jungwoo.

“If the runners in trucks had seen the news, wouldn't they have heard the most words? Rain, we're clear as long as we stay clear of the water. ”

Jungwoo looked at the truck's location records and said.

“If the fugitives had a head and didn't want to collapse like the inhabitants of Ipsily, I'd have looked for weather information. ”

On one side of this comment, the supervisor who was communicating with the police department turned white.

“You mean tomorrow the rain would have escaped to an unpredictable area? ”

“Maybe.”

I put weather information right in front of the escape route. The broad range of searches narrowed it down, and the supervisor commented to Jung Jeong-kyu.

“Why don't you mobilize the police around the area to reinforce the search? ”

“I think that would be good. Transport them in advance so they can travel to all areas of Gangwon Province at any time. ”

“I understand.”

PM 7: 35 - Room-rest area on Donghae Expressway

In front of a tank truck parked in the parking lot. The two of them were arguing.

“Park Jae-cheol was also taken. If the plan goes to shit, we're done with this. ”

“If we don't have proof, we'll end up with a fine from the company. That day, the employee made a mistake and left without completing the chemical treatment. Jae-cheol's gonna keep saying that. ”

“Haven't you seen the news? He's been talking all day. The crazy chemist who financed it. It says there's gonna be 3,950L more in his report. ”

The two eyes turned to a meter indicating the load on the tank. Except for 150L of basic wastewater that was mixed for odor elimination just before escaping, that's exactly the number.

Even though they didn't see it last night, they felt horrified by the chemist's ability to predict it correctly.

“What else did you say? ”

“It's wastewater, but it's stable, so all you need is a bite. Rain and fog. That's what caused it. I know what's mixed up in here better than we do. ”

“You can be quiet if he's telling the truth. All we have to do is avoid the water. We're not on the employee list for the Triangle Environment. ”

The two people who were looking at the tanks quickly looked the other way as a family of three with butter potatoes and a cup of Tteokbokki passed by.

“How long do I have to run? ”

“Only until the press is quiet. ”

Two people who were throwing their smokes on the floor got in the truck.

Burp.

While the truck was starting, the tank meter was shaking very unstable with the sound of a gust of wind.

PM 9: 40 - Gwanghwamun Central Disaster Measures Division

Jung picked up his cell phone from the situation room and went out to the rest area on one side of the hall.

“I'm sorry, Mr. Lee. We can't find him and get out of here. ”

- I didn't call to whip you. It's just that... people curse Mr. Jungwoo's company a lot...

I felt the relief of stress from the serious atmosphere of the situation room in Yoon Yi Seol's voice filled with worry.

- But I don't blame Mr. Jungwoo. I clicked every single one of them. Rather, why would such a great person be in such a company... Huh? Jungwoo, are you listening?

“Go on, tell me anything. ”

- I read that report, too. It's a little difficult. What are those numbers? I didn't mean to be uneducated. Jungwoo will explain all this later, right? Hold hands all night.

Jung enjoyed a very precious rest among the people going back and forth between the busy corridors.

That chaos also turned into a pretty smooth harmony with Yoon Yi Seol's voice added.

“Mr. Jungwoo. It's countermeasure time.”

Jungwoo, who nodded to the representative, said to his cell phone.

“Explanations should be made during the day. ”

- Why not?

“I learned from a country sister that when you hold hands all night, you don't talk about things like that. So we have to do something else. You did it three times yesterday. ”

- Ah……

A puzzled voice. The face of Yoon Iseol, who would have blushed a lot, was drawn well in his eyes.

“I have to go to a meeting. Call me when you have time. ”

Given the situation you're looking for, it doesn't look like it's going to end easy. Jung Woo grabbed hold of the phone where Yoon Yi Seul's voice stayed.

‘I'll be up all night again. ’

AM 06: 30 - Dairi Remicon Factory, Hwacheon-gun

Inside the site, where there are more concrete mixers, a police car with siren lights enters.

“How many times have we been here, Chief Lim? ”

Asked Lt. Kim Jung-chan who was sitting in the driver's seat, Im Sue yawned next to him, looking at the map of the search area.

“21st time.”

“Ugh, I'm so tired. What have you been doing all night? How could you run away to a thug like this? ”

“There's not a lot of rain in town yesterday. The Southern Hemisphere even searched for the deputy warden. ”

“Warden? You always wanted to ride the Masscom so badly. ”

Two cops walked out onto the street.

Lt. Kim, who was looking for a tank truck that he saw in CCTV photos amongst the Remicon trucks, shivered in a freezing wind of dawn air.

“About the rain. Do you believe that? ”

“Haven't you seen the Race News? The roof turned black in just five minutes after it rained. ”

“That's how bad the environment is. So I hate cities……. ”

I passed by one of the trucks, and Officer Kim stopped.

“Yi, Yi, Jang Rim. Isn't this it?”

Captain Kim's hand gestured and Lim's gaze was also on the truck.

Five tons of grey tanks. I saw someone lying inside with a blanket.

“I think you're right. ”

“Report it! ”

Officer Kim examines the truck's exterior once again, keeping an eye on its condition.

He jumped into the police car, opened the driver's seat door and grabbed the radio connected to the Integration Room and Direct.

Cheers.

“This is the head of the Central District's Haripa depot. I found a truck. It's 655-17……. ”

Booooo!

“Soo, start the car! You bastards! ”

Reporting quickly, Chief Lim flinched as he saw a truck running through the factory grounds.

“Requesting backup! Suspect truck on the move! ”

Chief Lim got in the car and started the car.

As soon as Officer Kim leaps into the passenger seat and closes the door, he quickly catches up to the back of the truck racing toward the road.

Cheers.

- Situation room, please state your truck's current location and direction of escape.

In a roughly cornered police car, Officer Kim grabs the radio in his hand.

“We are moving south in peace, 466 degrees. If we go like this...... Chief Lim. Where are they bouncing off to? ”

Lt. Kim put a radio in the mouth of Lt. Lim, a local indigenous person who was indifferent to manipulating the handle.

“Head to Hwacheon Town if you go straight, or Ouiri if you go down to the Great Bridge! ”

- Aye, sir. We'll hold the blockade at the Hwacheon and Ouiri. Keep up with us.

Kugu!

Following the noise of the truck with its speed bump, the two in the police car also sank to their hearts, being shocked.

After a while.

When I saw the bridge through Hwaseong city, the truck that was speeding down the road only straight ahead, I increased its speed even more.

Then you see a lot of police cars piling up at the end of the bridge, and the road spikes hit the ground to prevent them from moving, so you turn quickly.

A U-turn truck that went all the way to India.

In pursuit of the siren, Xim turns in a reflexive direction and blocks the secondary road.

“What if they just hit us? ”

“Would you do that? ”

However, he was anxious and changed to loudspeaker mode by pressing the radio button.

- Suspect, the roads are blocked! Just give it up! The whole country's looking for you! You'll never get away with this!

Booooo!

However, as the truck crashes, it starts to speed up and approach.

“Damn it! Chief! What do I do?”

Jang Kim's heart thumped. This was the first time a major incident or accident has ever occurred here, where the tracking of a boar fled after stealing corn.

But a cop in a secluded countryside doesn't forget who the police are.

“Hang on!"

“We're going to die! ”

“Dude! If I miss that truck, it's not like I'm going to race somewhere! ”

The truck is getting closer.

30m. 20m.

The two policemen, who had been chasing after each other since dawn, had never expected this would happen, closed their eyes tightly, holding on to their seat belts at the last moment.

Tsk, tsk!

As you prepare for the collision, the truck suddenly presses on the brakes.

A truck approaching a mile away crashed into the police car's side door and stopped.

The two policemen who were trembling turned their heads.

“Wow, I almost peed. These guys are freaked out by my warnings. ”

“I don't think so, Lieutenant. ”

“What?"

Captain Lim slapped Kim on the shoulder and pointed to the road behind him.

A dozen police cars from other districts approached with sirens.

In the lead, there was also a strong four-wheeled car from the Hanam Parish depot who was eager to ride the masscom.
