Kill the Dragon

“Huff.”

I held my breath and pulled the gun forward. You move into a position that you can shoot at any time. The squad members were divided at the crossroads. Each of you took the hallway and moved on. Elu is nearly exhausted from her psychic abilities. She can handle Elu on her own.

‘If we don't get rid of him now, we may not have a chance. ’

Lee hesitated as to whether he had made the right decision.

‘Did I really say to rationally track down Elu? Or emotional vengeance. ’

It was hard to tell myself apart. Perhaps you've given Harold a good reason to seek revenge.

“Whatever the reason, it's already started. ”

My eyes glistened brightly. Intense hatred and anger have seeped out from within Yihan. Harold's death is imprinted deep within the retina. In practice, only one mistake and misunderstanding kills life.

‘I've been lucky so far. ’

If Lee had been a little behind, he would have died instead of Harold. No one expected Elu to use the Blink. The fact that you use a blink. Even if I knew that, Harold didn't die in vain.

‘If only I had known sooner.... Why didn't Elu think of using Blink as a means of transportation? ’

Lee gripped his teeth tightly. He stops at the next corner. Even the silent passageway swallowed air, and Lee seemed to stop breathing with tension.

The squads split up and advance to occupy the passageways leading to Elu's escape. No matter how agile Elujah may be, he cannot escape this siege. One of the three encounters Elu.

‘Come.’

Lee Han rolled his eyes forward. He stops in front of the break room.

Duck.

Lee walked to the front of the door with a loud voice, then took a few steps back without making a sound.

Geeing.

The door was opened with only a trace amount of psychic force. The blade of Elu protrudes out of the door in fear of opening. There was no limit. Lee intentionally stepped forward, then left without a sound and opened the door. Elu was deceptive enough.

Click.

Lee pulled the trigger without saying a word. The gun bursts into flames. There is no way to miss a superclose shot without aiming. Elu's body is covered with a single magazine. The torn scream extends out into the passageway.

‘I'm not dead. ’

Elu falls to the ground. However, Lee did not approach. You press the magazine stop to remove the magazine. As soon as I take the magazine out of my belt and load it, Elu gets up and moves.

Puck!

Lee punched Elu in the jaw with a skull as if he had waited. He then grabs the hammer with both hands and strikes Elu deeply in the head. The baseball player hits the ball in a cheerful manner.

Qajik!

Parts protrude from the broken firearm. Elu, whose head has been broken, changes its teeth. I swing my arm with frenzied eyes. The knife touched my chest. The Underhamer tore my battle suit. Lee pushed Elu with his foot and took out the spear that was on his back. I threw away the Leather House and grabbed the spear. A shimmering light came out.

Phew!

Yihan swung his spear and hit Elu's head again. You hear the cracking of Elu's skull. Lee walked to the staggering Elu.

“Caaaaaa!”

Elu exclaims as if she's seizing.

“Shut up.”

Lee took a leap and swung the spear with his right hand. Elu jumps to the left and dodges. At the same time, Lee turned the spear behind his waist and stabbed him with his left hand.

Cook!

The spear is lodged in Elu's ship. The blood spilled on Lee's mouth. Elu staggers backwards. I tried to escape while blocking the spilled intestines. He fled like a wounded beast.

Whoo-hoo!

Elu tries to blush with all her last strength. I was going to pull the rest of the psychics together and run across the hall.

‘Blink. Maybe you still have your strength. ’

Lee ran after Elu. Elu's body flashes. I repeated it as it faded and became dark. Evidence of blinking when the limit was reached. Elu mutters something.

Kieing!

Lee's eyes flashed with psychic kicks. He stares at Ellu. His spear pierces through Elu's head.

Twitch.

Elu was unable to use the Blink to the end. In the end, Blink failed because of the lack of psychic energy, and Lee's spear pierced Elu's mouth and occipital area. Elu opens her mouth and dies in horror.

“Ha, ha. ”

Lee, who barely stopped Elu, sat down. Elu's blood was on her face. The same red blood as humans. But they are monsters, not humans.

Root.

Lee shakes the spear in his head. You press down on Elu's head and pull out the spear. He drains the blood and puts the spear in the leather shed.

Jubbuck, Jubbuck.

Lee took a heavy step into the break room. There was a vending machine. Lee broke the vending machine and took out a drink in Chinese.

“I'm tired.”

Lee Han sat down, muttering, and drinking a drink. I drank with intense carbonation. The blood in my mouth was washed away in the drink. Carbonic acid rises and irritates the throat.

Corporal Chaoy and Shvaltz arrive shortly. They confirm Elu's death and nod. The risks in the lab have been eliminated.

Weeing.

Victor's squad turns the generator around. The dark passageway is lit. They search for survivors in earnest. A few soldiers tied to chairs have been found in a corner warehouse. They weren't alive. There was no room for the eyeball, and the nose and lips were cut off. It was merely a dangling of a human being slowly dying.

“Hahn, get out. ”

Corporal Chai said. Chaani prayed for his death, holding the hands of soldiers one by one. Soldiers of the battlefield are consumed. Increases and decreases the Pokémon's numbers like weapons and supplies. But in the real battlefield, if one soldier dies, it's not just one less number. One person's life and future is doomed. The impact is even on those around you.

Profit.

Schwartz recovered Harold's body. Harold, in his long bag, is no longer able to move.

“They didn't have to die. ”

Ihan said, if China had been honest with Arc from the start and asked for help, nothing would have happened. The arc would have sent an elite team of veteran cyclers only.

“If only you'd handled yourself a little wiser up there. But they don't care how many soldiers die. You can't feel the weight of life. They move hundreds of thousands of people with their fingers and words. If every life feels heavy, you can't work in that position. That'll numb your senses. It's like playing a game with human lives represented by numbers and data. Getting used to it. ”

Schwarzenegger said. He pulled out a cigarette and smoked. It's a short break now. If you go up there, the Chinese are waiting for you.

“Get used to it?”

A greeting from Ihan. Schwarzenegger smiles.

“Sadly, humans soon become accustomed. You're gonna feel it. The more intense the first experience is, the less shocked it gets. Otherwise I can't stand it. If your heart becomes numb and you can't even feel it in your heart, you have to remember it with your head. Life is precious because there is only one of us. ”

Schwartz scratches his head. Is life only precious to Humans? Not only did the pigs have dragons and Elu who hated them so much. But those discussions are for philosophers. Humans are the only priority for humans who are difficult even tomorrow. Humans are solely dignified. Contradicting minimum ethics given to man.

“I've never forgotten a single person who died next to me. I will always be. ”

Lee clearly understood what fear he felt in a pure wave raid. Lee Han was afraid. I was more and more afraid of myself not hesitating about killing people. So I muttered to myself that I shouldn't get used to it.

“At the beginning of the Arc Project, it was a superhuman project that was ruled out as ethical or moral. I chose a handful of children based solely on their psychic abilities. They were six and seven years younger than you. The initial project failed miserably. The toughest monsters rushed in. The commander was replaced and the training instructions changed. The commander said 'Humans’ should be ‘weapons’ before they are 'weapons'. ”

In the arc, many preliminary candidates are selected for training microcrystals. The qualifications required by the arc are tricky. Anyone with psychic abilities enters the arc. The possibilities are endless for children, as this has been up to here in class D.

“It's over.”

Corporal Chai said as he left the room. Ihan and Schwarz, who were talking, stood up. They carry Harold's body bag up the elevator.

Weeing.

It was quick to get the elevator up. Victor's squad is on the ground.

“I knew it.”

Schwartz mutters, placing a metal plate from the lab in front of him. Chinese soldiers stand with guns to their heads. Behind them, researchers shout.

“You won't be able to use explosives. We have the data. ”

Corporal Chai narrowed his eyes. He examined the Chinese military. The status of the opposition has persisted for some time. Victor's squad attempts to communicate with the headquarters, but the surrounding radio interference is severe.

“Is it breaking and entering as planned? ”

Schwarzenegger thumps at the iron plate. Lee shakes his head.

“If we try to escape, we'll use heavy artillery as long as we have to lose the data. If we're lucky, we'll recover the data. ”

“Hmm, maybe. ”

Schwarz said, touching his chin. It is possible to breach the siege grid with the power of Victor's squad. But you may have to make sacrifices. Corporal Chai stops watching the front.

“I'll go out and negotiate. ”

“You sure you're okay with this?”

“You won't be able to kill me, unarmed, in a situation these many soldiers are watching. ”

Corporal Chai is an idol to the Chinese military. His numerous accomplishments were expanded further and widespread through propaganda propaganda. I planted hope that I could win, and I hired young people to join the military. After the war, when he decided to join the arc, the Chinese government even threatened him. Corporal Chai left China without a doubt because his family had died in the war.

The researchers shouted to shoot as soon as Corporal Chalk came out. The Chinese officer asked the researcher what he was talking about. You cannot kill an unarmed opponent to negotiate. Above all, it was an official guideline, but I didn't like this situation for the soldiers. In retrospect, it was clearly a despicable conspiracy.

Corporal Chai looked at the situation with small eyes. Friction between researchers and soldiers. The reluctance of soldiers and officers. The rifle of the shaking soldiers. Corporal Chai took a big breath. He shouted in Chinese.

“Gentlemen, true loyalty is not obedience. ”

The researchers' shaking grows. They try to get rid of Corporal Welsh by stealing soldiers' guns. An impatient officer pushes the researchers away.

“This is an important project for the country! The future of our people depends on it! ”

“Shut up! Chae Joon is speaking! ”

Corporal Chai froze his mouth while looking into the confusion.

“Soldiers are not slaves to this country. They neither blindly follow nor obey as slaves do. Are you slaves or soldiers? He voluntarily raised his gun for this country and its people! It was the loyalty of our Chinese people that even risked their lives if the Lord's guilt was wrong. If the country is going the wrong way, who's going to fix it? Are only cowards here who don't want to be slaves? ”

The soldiers make a loud noise. Corporal Chai is getting closer.

“Soldiers are the only force in the country. Therefore, there is a mission to protest and reject even more unreasonable and wrong orders. ”

Among the soldiers, many enlisted when they saw Sgt. Chae. They haven't been able to shoot Corporal Welsh. Rather, there were sentimental people. The order was unreasonable in the beginning. It made no sense to ask Arc soldiers to shoot them out of the lab.

“If you don't get rid of them now, you and all your family... ”

Ta-ang!

The talking researcher is shot in the head. An impatient officer fires a pistol.

“How dare you threaten my family? ”

A failed threat returns to a great disaster. We can't help but shoot the researcher. Soldiers have subdued the researchers. Soldiers who finished the subjugation salute Corporal Chai.

“That should do it. Answer me, HQ. This is Victor One.”

Schwartz contacted headquarters. Soldiers have turned off the jammer. The line with Arc HQ is open. Lee was relaxed and sat down. When Corporal Chai stepped forward alone, I thought he was going to get shot and killed.

The transport arrived soon, and Lee went to sleep quickly, unlike when he did.

Elu's subject, named Predator, was discovered by Victor's squad at the Chinese Psychic Institute. This is an extreme change in Elu, who was brutalized by the laboratory's experiments and dissections. Elu's psychic kicks were also evidence of mental influence.

“Nearly expanded to the entire Northeast Asian Union, but shorted to Japan's mediation and China's embroidery. China has lost its right to speak at the High Commission. Of course, you can't stop sponsoring. If you don't want to be an international bully. ”

Schwartz in a military uniform said to Ihan, Harold's funeral is short-lived. Only friends attended. Harold's bone dust enters the Arc's burial chamber. The Memorial Stone at the entrance of the Sanctuary is etched with the names of the dead arcs.

“What happened to the soldier? ”

Lee was worried about Chinese soldiers protecting them. Schwarzenegger grins.

“I recorded a video of Chae and the opposition. Officially, it was the researchers' sole judgment, not the government's. They're not going to make it official. You may not have a promotion in the future. ”

Schwartz made the report generous. In fact, Lee was incredibly perfect as it was his first official mission. It was surprising considering the age and number of practices. Schwartz left a final line as an assessment of his condition.

‘I'm looking forward to progress. More than.’
