Kill the Dragon

# 10 Predator

Kuoooo.

The transport takes off. Lee sees the rest of the squad. Johnnie Schwartz and two regular men. Private Harold the American and Corporal Chaoi the Chinese. They spent time joking if they were familiar with each other.

“From now on, our Victor Squad is going south to Chinghai, China. There's a psychic lab. For confidentiality purposes, the laboratory on the third floor is paralyzed by an Elu raid. The Special Forces have gone in undead. China formally asked us to dispatch. ”

Schwarzwieder speaks skillfully.

“How big is the enemy? ”

Private Harold said. Schwarzenegger looks around and answers.

“According to the Chinese authorities, the Elu are one. However, the combat power seems to be an excellent object. It is suspected that two Daminion-trained Special Forces troops will be wiped out. ”

“Don't you need backup? It's more dangerous than I thought.”

Corporal Chai mutters. He chews the peanuts.

“The reason the SEALs have been wiped out is likely that the enemy is a psychic shield user. If you use the psychic shield in the narrow lab corridor, there's no way a civilian soldier can survive it. But we're different, aren't we? Isn't that right, Richan? ”

“It's Ihan.”

Jihan corrects it every time, but Schwarz laughs as if it's funny. Lee Han brought a dragon weapon. Leather sealed spears penetrate the psychic shield.

“This may not be your first real battle, but it's your first official third-grade mission, right? ”

Private Harold said. Lee looks at him and nods.

“That's right.”

“You're not shaking much. Not funny. Well, let's just get this over with and get back to it. ”

Most arc missions are not difficult. Even if it's difficult for the general troops, Arc soldiers and bikers can easily do it. Most countries ask for support because they have a reason to be troublesome in their own country, or because Elu uses a psychic shield.

“Lichen, think of it as a spectacle. You don't have to do it yourself. Anything happens, we'll keep you first. ”

Schwarz tapped his shoulder and said. Lee Han nodded. Hearing that reminded me of something I didn't want to think about. I remember when Sergeant Red's leg flew off.

“Even if you can't sleep, you'd better sleep. ”

Corporal Chai said. The squad closes their eyes against the wall. I wanted to fall asleep, but couldn't sleep much. Johnnie Schwartz looked at this.

“Lichan, do you know why the Ark sends you on dangerous missions? ”

“I heard it's for a practical experience. ”

“Yes, that's right. And most importantly, to learn not to die. You can't die no matter what. Even if your colleague dies, you should not take revenge and carry out a physical attack, but retreat with fewer steps. ”

“I know. ”

“Once the next invasion begins, there will be no soldiers to replace you. The same goes for the psychoframe you're wearing. Psychoframe, 2nd generation Psychic Soldier. A precious power that must not be lost. ”

“In other words, it's better to die early if you're going to die on a stupid operation like this. ”

Lee said, smiling lightly.

“I'm glad I got it fast. ”

Schwarz raises his thumb and smiles. Lee couldn't sleep, but I closed my eyes at least. Close your eyes to rest a little. All sorts of misguided thoughts and memories passed by. Lee suddenly remembered the dragon's stance that he felt in the dimensional crack. My legs were trembling with fear just thinking about it. It was like meeting a natural enemy.

‘As if he hates humans.... ’

Dragons kill humans. Minions are merely enslaved by dragons. But only humans. I don't even think about enslaving them. At least for dragons, man is special.

Why do dragons kill humans? A simple invasion and conquest? ’

The arc didn't teach me that. To be precise, you don't even know the arc. Dragons are hidden in the veil.

‘The seven dragons that have appeared so far. Humanity alone was on the brink of extinction. Being that doesn't even work with nuclear weapons. ’

Lee opened his eyes while he was asleep. The rest of the squad yawned. They take the equipment to Jupiter Island. Transporter is ready to land. Communication with the comms tower is loud in the cockpit. Corporal Chai walks to the cockpit. He spits something out at the tower, and soon it subsides.

“Is that the Psychic Institute? It looks like flat ground. ”

“Psychic labs are very secret places in many ways. Psychic research is activating in every country. First and foremost, they may be attacked by the Pure Ones. ”

“Pure wave.... ”

His face was slightly stiffened by the words Pure Farah. A lot of people died. The day that was full of frenzy was still creepy. An environment where humans can kill humans without hesitation. When a coworker who was eating, laughing, and talking with each other dies, young boys turn into killers. There was no moral or noble mission.

“Don't worry. It's for adults. What happened at the arc was inevitable. There was no other way. We don't normally order you to kill people. You never get used to killing people. ”

Schwartz puts his hand on Ehan's shoulder and says, The arc boys should not be accustomed to murder. This is not just for boys. As a child, a solid mental and ethical compass lasts a lifetime. Ethics hardened adults do not easily feel insanity when they are trained in the military.

‘But if these boys are okay with murder, then maybe humanity is making another enemy. ’

The current arc's system is formed at the end of numerous failures. The early arc made a lot of mistakes and made a sicker called a monster. In the early arc, only a few qualified elites were trained, so the cost of training was significantly lower. However, Arc currently brings in numerous psychic children from all over the world to screen them. Children change and develop rapidly. It was different from adults who had already established abilities and personalities. The best children become the worst monsters, and the less talented children become the best soldiers.

‘In short, it's a matter of possibility. Children have plenty of room to grow up. ’

Schwarz looked at Lee Hwan closely. We don't have to wait long. Two, three years, tops. By then, Lee will be the supersoldier who surpasses Johnny Schwarz. Threeth-graders, like Silence, had surpassed the first generation. Silence with excellent combat abilities and blinks is close to invincible in the Civil War.

“Here comes the chief. Wait here, Lichan. ”

Chinese soldiers have come from afar. Schwartz is in front of them. I said something oppressively to an officer with a high rank. Schwarzenegger scratches his head as if it were something difficult. At that moment, Corporal Chalk stood in front of the Chinese soldiers.

“Li-kun! Frown-Lee! ”

Chinese soldiers saluted Corporal Sgt. Shay in stealthy posture. The officer who was sniffing around in front of Svaltz paid his respects to Corporal Cha Yi.

“Corporal Chai is a war hero in China. Since their hero was a squad member, and some foreigner was a squad leader, they were grumpy with Schwarz. The Chinese have a lot of pride. ”

When Corporal Chai stepped forward, Chinese soldiers also took a cooperative stance. Arc's soldiers are war heroes, one in their own country. A three-year war has made many heroes. They gave up their wealth and honor in their homeland and chose to be the shield of humanity in the Arc.

Chinese researchers in white robes, in contrast to Chinese soldiers, came out. The researchers followed behind them with separate soldiers. The relationship between the Chinese military and the researchers did not look good. From what I hear, the researchers didn't give enough information about the lab to the soldiers. Chinese officials say their men died for nothing.

From now on, it was an adult exchange. Elaborate psychological warfare and informational warfare staggered in laughter. Lee sat alone and waited for orders to be issued.

“You're the arc boy. ”

A researcher in a white robe approaches.

“That's right.”

“Is that a weapon made of dragon bones on your back? ”

The researcher tried to hang a spear around her. I touched my shoulder slightly. Lee quickly stopped the researcher's hand.

“Don't touch it. ”

Lee said coldly.

“It's tricky.”

The researcher grumbles and leaves. Several other researchers looked at this from afar. It was like looking at a monkey in a zoo. Lee was annoyed by their gaze. I didn't deliberately make eye contact with them.

“Have you been waiting long? Lichan.”

“Is that what you keep calling it? ”

Schwartz, who ignored Lee Han's complaint, gathered his squad members. He heard the situation from the soldiers and researchers.

“Enemy is El Lu One. Psychic Shield users are clear. Our goal is to capture study data and search for survivors. There's a good chance there's a researcher and staff that haven't made it out yet. We'll be leaving in 20 minutes. ”

“Destroy the enemy? ”

“If you don't meet them, you can ignore them. Once you've secured the data and confirmed there are no survivors, the lab will explode. ”

Schwartz pulled up the map inside the lab. Lee put the map in his head. I drew the fastest route in my head. At the same time, the rest of the squad checked the optimal route.

After all the preparations, Victor's squad takes the elevator down to the lab. I felt frustrated going down to the basement.

“I'll go first. ”

Schwarzenegger leads the way. They step out of the elevator in an orderly fashion and take precautions. The cheerful squad members' faces were serious. Check everywhere with stealthy moves and say, "Clear! ’I said.

Wiiiing!

The underground ventilator turns. The first floor is relatively clean. Victor's squad searched the first floor thoroughly.

“There's no one on the first floor. ”

Corporal Chai said. I also agreed and nodded my head.

‘Something's wrong. ’

Lee thought something was wrong earlier. The rest of the squad felt that way. I felt like I was missing a piece.

“Going down to the second floor. ”

The squad walks to the exit. Their steps were quiet. If you don't look at it with your own eyes, you won't even know it's there.

“Smell.”

Yihan mutters. The rest of the squad smells it, too. It smells like no one knows.

‘Fivirine.’

Schwartz grabs the door hook slowly and opens it. At the same time as I turned the door down, I pointed the gun forward. The squad shivers faintly. There are dead bodies hanging in the passageway on the second floor. Soldiers hanging from their skins are still bleeding less. It was like pork in a slaughterhouse. There was blood on the floor, and blood drops spilled at regular intervals.

“This, this, this is terrible. ”

Private Harold mutters. The squad members did not have a great shaking. Rather, I looked at her worryingly.

“I'm fine. ”

This was the first time I felt like this. Up until now, Lee had to worry about the panic of his colleagues. In the second grade, Lee played such a mental role. The second graders didn't think he would be shaken and collapsed.
