Kill the Dragon

00131 # 21 Citadel

‘Be.’

Lee smiled a little. Psychic ability has returned.

Knock, knock.

Someone knocked on the door. Lee took off his mind, took the falling watch and put it on the table. It was quick.

Franko was the one who came in. He smiled nicely at Lee Han.

“This is yours, right? ”

Franko brought a spear made of dragon bones.

“Yes, it is. ”

Franko hesitates and returns the spear to Lee Han. The Shelters are armed with guns anyway. A spear made of bone can fly, but it is powerless in front of a gun.

“Let me ask you one question. Do you intend to stay here? Or do you want to leave? ”

Lee answered without hesitation.

“I'm leaving. I don't intend to stay. ”

“I see.”

Franko was disappointed. The young man needed more Shelter.

“Have you heard of any nearby troops or bases? ”

“Well, I don't know. Maybe the others do. Were you a soldier, too? It's reasonable for a soldier to survive alone in the mountains. Hmm."

Franko had roughly assumed that he was a soldier trained by his tone, and he was convinced that he was a soldier by his question.

‘Soldiers are what we need for our shelters... but we can't catch a man leaving. ’

Franko is a professor of English literature. He doesn't have the knowledge he needs to live in the same world now. His knowledge is a luxurious culture. Shelter requires a more agile soldier than a professor.

Franko and Ihan talked for about an hour. Franko's gentle thoughts were unfamiliar and different to his. In a way, he was full of idealistic thinking because he had time to live. But I didn't hate Franko like that.

Lee stayed here at the shelter for three days. He got a lot of information while talking to Shelter residents.

“Head to the west coastline. A year ago, on the radio, there was often a broadcast asking survivors to evacuate west. There must be some kind of a trail. ”

Radio said. Lee felt paralyzed by the communication system. In the past, contact with arcs was possible anywhere in the world. The Earth didn't feel that big. Now he has no means of transportation or communication devices.

Lee had joined the search party before leaving. It was to repay the debt.

“You don't have to do this. ”

Franko says so, but he seems confident. The search party was six, including Lee.

“But Dory knows. ”

Another search party told Lee Han. At first he started a garden, but now he doesn't show any hostility. Lee was a calm and quiet young man.

“We need oil. We're gonna have to go a little further. ”

Survival requires essentials and resources. Self-employed people are impossible, and external recruits are limited. Now a stable shelter, but one day we will run out of resources and supplies.

“You're a bit of an outsider. ”

Lee said.

“The gas stations downtown were drained of gas. I doubt that's gonna stay that way. ”

The situation is dark. Ihan senses it from their anxious remarks. I was filled with hopeless despair.

‘I want to help you as much as possible. ’

It was an honest feeling for Lee Han. The residents of Shelter were gentle. It was a miracle I survived so far. Their shelter has many children. You survived by protecting the elderly while splitting up the rations. There was even enough generosity to save and bring a stranger.

‘Soft people. But kind and kind. ’

Lee knows how cruel human beings can be in extreme situations of survival. I trample other people's lives for a meal. Lee is not a humanist who claims human dignity, but he did not dislike people who value humanity as much as the people of Shelter here.

‘I don't behave like these people. ’

Shelter residents are at risk every day. If you stay, your chances of survival will increase greatly. But Lee is leaving. There is something more important to him than the safety of the Shelters. At least on this basis.

“You're in good health. ”

I told Ihan from behind.

Lee walked out from the front and looked back. The other search parties sigh. Lee was not used to acting with ordinary people. This was not a problem, but it was sufficiently overface for others.

“Want to take a break? ”

Lee said, his eyes narrow and he looked everywhere. There were no minions.

“Well, that's good. ”

Franko settles down. The search party takes a deep breath while drinking water.

‘This is the world now. ’

Lee looked at the ruined city. The price of defeat was terrible.

‘If we cooperated just a little bit longer, something would be different. ’

The arc could have more power. There was an opportunity to train more soldiers. If I had enough support, I would have much more power. Others, however, feared the need for arc power.

‘This is what it looks like. ’

If we had all of humanity's abilities together, we could have won. The Second Generation Reinforcements were very strong. Even the Hives were wary of the power of the second generation.

‘You look pathetic. Silver can be a laughingstock. ’

While thinking about it, the search party sat down and smoked cigarettes. They gave Lee a dented pack of cigarettes.

“I don't smoke. ”

Lee shakes his head and refuses. The short break is over. They walked diligently to the gas station. You check the interior in a daze.

“Hahn, you take a look at the store with Colin. ”

Lee Han nodded. There is a shop inside the gas station building. It was a mess in there, but there were still some snacks.

“Bit. Nothing much to eat, but the kids will love it. Put it in a bag with high calories. ”

Colin throws a duffel bag at Lee. Lee Han nodded and swept the cookie into the duffel bag.

‘It would be convenient to use your mind-set. ’

Lee looked at Colin's eyes. We don't know what they think of him yet. I know the ambiguous location of Lee Hando Saiker well. People are afraid of the syker. I feel different from myself You don't have to publicly reveal yourself as a Cyclist.

Enemies. Enemies.

Colin chews a piece of chocolate and moves his hand. I also chewed chocolate bar. The sweet taste of longing spread all over my mouth. Lee always suffers from the calorie tribe. The sweetness caught my breath.

“Chocolate is the flavor of happiness. ”

Colin smiles and says: Lee smiled and nodded.

“I agree."

As Lee and Colin were filling their duffel bags, they heard an annoying cry outside.

“Damn it! None of it. ”

There was no oil at the gas station that I had found. The futile searchmen's faces darkened.

“What do I do?”

“What about the other gas stations? ”

“Far away. It's impossible to go back and forth before dark. ”

Franko unfolds the map and says, It is dangerous during the day, but at night it is more dangerous.

“About six miles? ”

Lee Han looked at the map and said. He narrows his eyes and thinks.

“It's impossible to get out there in time. ”

Franco shakes his head excitedly. This is the limit of how far the search bar can move.

“I'll be back. I'll fill it up with two. ”

Lee said, holding the barrel of oil in both hands.

“Don't resonate. Let's go back.”

Colin withheld Lee Han.

“If you leave now, you'll be back in an hour. If I'm not here by then, you'll have to leave. I'll go after him.”

My eyes shivered. I thought Lee was making a fortune by filling two 20-liter barrels of oil to close to 40 kilograms. It's impossible to carry it on your own.

“Come back in an hour or we'll leave first. ”

Franko says Lee runs out with a nod.

“Phew.”

Lee quickly opened up the distance with the search party. Slowly sped up. Strength surpasses the average person. Stamina and durability transcended the human category.

Tadak!

Lee Han lightly jumped over the heap of cars that lay ahead.

‘That's it. ’

Lee took the burden off his mind. This is what I owe Shelter.

‘Reminds me of a long time ago. ’

Lee did not resist even in the third grade. There was a reason for exploring Arc's interior facilities, and he also loved the Old Book itself. It was good to organize my thoughts calmly.

‘Kuro, Silence... ’

Lee recalled the names of his colleagues one by one. I believed they were alive. The reinforcements cannot be easily defeated.

‘There's still hope. ’

It's not over. Lee Han is still alive. People struggle to survive even after their demise.

“Phew.”

Lee Han has arrived at the destination. The cool energy was a gas station. Lee took a breath and looked around.

‘There's no one. ’

Your chances of meeting the minions don't seem high. If the density of the distribution is high enough to meet the minions often, the shelters here won't last.

Quack quack.

Lee Han filled the barrel with oil. He constantly chews the chocolate bar he took before he left. I could feel it squeezing my muscles as hard as I could. His physical strength is significantly lower than in the past.

‘This is a real problem. Stamina management is too difficult. ’

Lee had to build a body. Now the real battle awaits him. Psychoframe is a stage that cannot be covered by dizzying physical strength. I have had the opportunity to wear a psychoframe, but it is difficult for my body not to follow me.

‘I didn't have this worry in the arc. ’

I can't fight alone. Lee once again felt the urgent need for arc. I needed reliable support. Unlike when I was focused on fighting, there were a lot of environmental factors to think about now.

“Let's go, then. ”

Lee Han tied the oil barrels to the ends of the spears. I ran with my spear on my shoulder. That speed was as fast as normal people ran. I got to where the search party was, bearing the weight.

“Oh, my God.”

“You've really come back. ”

Lee Han sighed lightly. He puts down the barrel and chooses to breathe.

“I've been back.”

Lee said, the other searchmen looked at him with an unbelievable look. Even though they were not soldiers or athletes, their stamina was unusual.

Was he in Special Forces? ’

‘Survival training, considering you survived in the mountains. So it's Special Forces, right? ’

Ranger? ’

The search party whispers to themselves.

“I'm sorry, but we have to leave right now so we can be on time. Han.”

Franco says. He nods, sipping a sip of water.

“I know. ”
