I'm still alive

Someone shook me.

I got up in a panic and caught a gun around me. I rubbed my eyes and opened them, and an old man was looking at me. scurry about everywhere And I realized that I fell asleep in the tent. I looked at the old man, wiping the drool with my sleeve and the old man told me quietly.

'Time's up.’

That's right. Everyone was supposed to be up after setting the time. It's too late to find them moving and start operations. At least he had to wake up and wait in his designated place. I grabbed the bottle of water next to the tent and swallowed it frantically and wet my dry throat.

Then I came out of the tent and opened the warehouse door. On one side of the roof, a dragon-pal hugged a blanket and dozed off, and next to it, Du-sik was looking at the building ahead. The sun has not yet risen, but the energy of dawn has begun to spread far away.

The sun will rise in about 30 minutes to an hour. I stretched out on one side of the roof and tried to wake up. The old man crouched down beside Du-sik, frowning as if he were thinking of something, and there was a strange silence between us.

The night before the storm.

It was like a soldier's heart jumping into battle. I breathed to hold back the trembling heart and the soaring heat. I repeated drinking. In the meantime, calm footsteps came from the stairs leading up to the rooftop.

I turned my eyes to the sound, where Kang Soo-ryeon was walking this way with a steaming pot. Kang Soo-ryeon, who found me, smiled gently and came up to me with a pot. A steaming pot, saliva flowed out of itself.

"You have to be confident.’

That's what Kang said. Listening to her, I felt the tension and fear go slowly. And a smile was built on his face by itself. I accepted the heavy-looking pot and headed to the rooftop where the party was gathered with Kang Soo-ryeon.

I asked Kang Soo-ryeon quietly.

What about Chae Yeon?

Kang Su-ryeon answered quietly.

'He's still asleep.’

I slowly nodded, facing her. Then carefully put the pot he was holding down on one side of the roof. Then the dragon, who was dozing off, opened his eyes and stared at this place. Du-sik was already up and walking this way.

The old man, who found Kang Soo-ryeon, also slowly walked this way, unwinding his stiff face. And he smiled at Kang Soo-ryeon and thanked her.

We gathered in front of the pot at the early dawn when the sun was about to rise and picked up the spoon.

The menu was simple. There was white porridge in the pot. The white porridge, which was brown as if it had been seasoned with soy sauce, constantly beckoned the spoon to come. I thought about eating it in the warehouse because of the smell, but the smell wasn't that stimulating.

We picked up our spoons thinking this would be okay.

It was not enough and tasted like white porridge, but it was more delicious than any other delicacies eaten in the dawn. The warm white porridge warmed the cold-cold inside and shook its breath hard. The sound came out of the mouth by itself.

Oh, it's good.

We emptied the pot in a flash. And slowly inhaled, looking at the sun that was beginning to rise completely. I spoke quietly, looking at Kang Soo-ryeon, who was packing an empty pot.

'Don't ever come out.’

Kang Soo-ryeon nodded. And said quietly, looking alternately at me, the old man and the Yongpal brothers.

'Don't get hurt.’

That was enough of our conversation.

* * * * * * *

An hour passed when I checked my wristwatch, and a moment later I caught a bunch of people coming out of the butcher shop. They looked around slowly to see if they were there or not. And when I found out there were no guys around, I started walking over here.

The old man, who saw it, hurriedly sends a signal to inform us of the beginning of the operation.

We began to move in perfect order. Doosik and Yongpal quickly go down and hide themselves among the items. Then I run to the back of the mart and gently release the back door lock.

Then he ran in the opposite direction again and headed for the main gate of the mart with a security window. I hid among the boxes, listened attentively, and concentrated on the sound heard. And after a while, I began to hear something pounding.

The herd was approaching this way.

And soon there began to be the sound of urgent. Turning his eyes toward the stairs, the old man was coming down to the mart in full armament. The old man was sending a signal in a loud motion to let them know they were coming. I breathed out after breathing out and desperately loosened my lumped muscles.

And a moment later, with a slight wobble in the security window, began to hear the sound of people speaking.

Hey, it's locked properly.’

Behind the heavy voice of a man comes the voice of a woman who looks tired.

Isn't there someone in there?’

I don't know....... Normally there's a back door in a place like this...….’

And the sound of footsteps starting to drift away slowly. I look back and nod to the hiding party. Everything is starting to fit in. I check the weapons, close my eyes once and open them.

And ran hurriedly to the designated ambush site.

When I arrived at the place and hid myself, the mart could not hear even a small breath. In the midst of silence came a clatter of something. And soon people began to hear the sound of people talking.

'Hey, the back door's open.’

This is the voice of a man who heard it in front of the security window. The man sneaked into the mart with the tone of "caught." And after that, the woman's voice, which I heard at the door earlier, resonates loudly.

Everybody, be on the lookout!

One, two, footsteps increase. It was clear that everyone was coming through the door and inside the mart. I pull the tension to the top of my head like a soldier who pulled a bowstring. Hold the gun tightly in your hand and spit out the rising excitement in your breath.

"Don't worry, sister! Wow...... by the way, the supplies are no joke.’

A man who was making a lot of noise in the security window earlier walks around the interior of the mart, making a fuss. We watched it quietly and waited for the opportunity. The prey that came into the tiger's mouth. We'll never miss an opportunity.

When I look at the woman with the sharp eyes and the gun, she suddenly stops and looks around. Then, he hardens his face and recites it quietly.

I feel like I've got a lot of things organized around me.….’

And she walks slowly through where I'm hiding. She was a woman of good taste. But it's too late to doubt now. I flung myself forward like an arrow left in a bow demonstration. My goal is lower body. I grabbed her leg in one gulp and pushed myself in and knocked her over.

She screamed and fell badly on the floor. I took the gun she was holding and threw it away. And he looked at me and punched her jaw, which still hadn't come to her senses.

perfect incapacitation All the movements were as natural as water. I got up in a hurry over her lost mind, grabbing her frantic beating heart. When they got up from their seats and looked at the other crowd, they were bewildered by the sudden attack.

But the confusion did not last long.

'What?!' 'Captain!!’

When the woman with the gun was overpowered at once, the rest of the group shouted and took up their weapons. And the man who was closest to the woman with the gun ran this way with the spear. An angry and excited face, a crude but lightly pierced window passed in front of my eyes.

But the man's attack was too slow and simple. I gently lifted my gun against a man's spear. Then he put the sword forward and turned the gun toward the direction where the spear blade flew.

Ga Ga Ga Ga Gak

A spear blade and a sword collide and make a noise that you don't want to hear it. The face of the man with the spear is distorted as if he had never thought I would stop the attack. I didn't miss that moment, and I raised the sword and flung the spear sideways.

Then he reached out and grabbed the pole and pulled it. When I pulled on the pole, the man's posture naturally collapsed and his body was dragged toward me. Then the man instinctively let go of the spear.

A window that was taken away in an instant.

I throw the stolen spear to one side. And he looked at the man in front of him with calm, subdued eyes. The man screamed and tried to run away, but an old man was already standing behind with a shotgun.

The old man ran away and kicked the man's stomach. Then the man screamed and hugged his stomach and knelt on the floor in that posture. The man bowed his head with a painful groan and soon fell to his side.

Looking around, the scene was already being sorted out. When I attacked, the hidden party seemed to have attacked. The two men, who were holding plywood shields, were scattered on one side, as if Doosik and the elderly had dealt with them earlier.

And in one corner over there, a woman holding a dragon arm and a spear was rolling on the floor, holding onto her hair. They both had no idea how they had sold their weapons, and they were fighting dog fights, swearing and shouting.

The dragon-pal shouted, his head ripped off by the woman.

'You shiba! Let go! Let go! Oh, brother, don't come forward! I'll take care of it!’

Then the woman, who was tearing off Yongpal's hair, shouted without losing.

You're making me laugh! Crazy bastard!'

Me and the old man sighed at the same time. Standing still in front of him, Du-sik gave a long yawn, blinking his eyes as if nothing had happened. I got the gun back that I was leaving behind. Then the dragon-arm walked forward and pulled the trigger to load it as if it were for the woman to listen.

an iron fist

A cold long tone knocks through the eardrum. Then Yong-pal and the woman stop moving instantly and look up at me quietly. Yong-pal smiled awkwardly when he found me while fighting, and the woman who was holding Yong-pal's head snug quietly let go.

and raised both hands in a quivering voice.

'Save me, please..’

* * * * * *

'Tie it up.'

The old man brings some strings he doesn't know where he brought them and spreads them out before us. Me and the Yongpal brothers accepted it and tied their overpowered arms and legs tightly with a string. And naturally began to search.

There were too many miscellaneous things to list. When they opened the backpack they were holding and sprayed it on the floor, all sorts of odds and ends came into sight. Among them, radio and Sillim-dong maps were printed paper. The old man and I hardened our facial expressions as soon as we found it.

The old man carefully picked up the radio and turned it off. And he looked at me carefully and handed me the map, and I accepted it and opened it quickly. The map showed the terrain of Sillim-dong in detail, and the names of the roads were written in detail, probably from real estate.

And there were many places with red ballpoint pens, but I don't know what this means. What's important is that they've passed through a lot of places, and where they've crossed, they've been marked with x-shaped. I folded the map carefully.

Who are you?

I had a question. It is a group that has been doing this for quite a long time, given its radio and guidance, armed conditions and combat capabilities. I wondered why they were doing this. I slowly closed my eyes looking at them who had fainted.

When the situation was cleared up, the women and children hiding in the lounge crumbled out of the door. And soon, when he saw those perfectly organized, he breathed a sigh of relief. Kang Su-ryeon soon smiled brightly to make sure none of us were hurt.

The children looked at them with curious eyes. But soon, they gathered behind the women and talked carefully to see if they had lost interest.

I said quietly to the old man, trying to calm down my complicated head.

'Let's wake him up first. ‘

Then the old man came with bottled water as if he had waited. Then they squashed their heads on the floor.
