Kill the Dragon

Guwoong.

The door holding Knute is opened. His radiation levels have dropped to safety.

“I'm sick of it, you guys. ”

Knut looks at the camera and says, He presses on the hat deep against the wall and walks out loud.

‘That's a lot of spirit. ’

The monitor notices Knut walking out of here alive. Knut has accomplished two major Bahamian subjugations. Currently, there are only two defeats for the Bahamut class: Knut. The third generation of psychoframes produced the third stage. It was because there were 3 Healing Factor reinforcements.

The third-generation psychoframes captured a Bahamian dragon twice. Underneath, of course, were immense soldiers' sacrifices. The underground fortress, which had at least a foundation, flew away three times. He used the underground fortress and soldiers as bait.

Two out of three third-generation psychoframe reinforcements are dead. The only survivor is Knut.

The problem is that the cause of death is not the warrior, but suicide. ’

The monitor smiles bitterly.

Even a hard-headed psychoeducated child committed suicide. Generation 3 psychoframes caused pain and mental breakdown for wearers. Radiation destroyed the brain, not just the body. Physical damage has recovered, but the broken spirit has not recovered easily. Despite the work of slaying Bahamian dragons, only Knut remained.

The third generation of psychoframes were divided into the opinion that it was a failure. The small reactor was still imperfect. Wearers with almost infinite regenerative capabilities were ‘human’, not ‘mechanical parts’. Durability was not the end of the problem. It was only after I lost two reinforcements in vain.

People called third-generation psychoframes Iron Maiden with the meaning of awe and condemnation. Currently, Iron Maiden is virtually exclusively for Knut.

“It's a complicated structure. ”

Lee, who sat on the bed, checked the terranode structure diagram. It is 300 meters long and can hold thousands of people. A ship the size of an aircraft carrier has a submarine capability. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't remember the inside at once.

‘Residence and cruises are more important than combat. Leave the external combat to the psychoframes and the soldiers. There's no tactical weapon like a nuclear missile. Looks like it was handed over to the arc, with a large portion of its armor shrunk. ’

Lee smiled at the tip of the pen and thought. Arc possesses 34 stages of psychoframe. Psychoframe power is superior to the Citadel.

‘We have to put it back together. We've lost the battle that we've been so devoted to. You can't win in this divided state. ’

Lee had no time to say goodbye to his friends. He had to succeed Ark and the Citadel.

‘This can be done as a country. It's only possible because I've been out of conflict. Both groups have favorable forces for me. If I had been there, I would have had to choose between the two. Or fall like Silence. ’

Lee bit the tip of his nails slightly.

‘Arc and Citadel should know. In the end, you have to work together to win. The implicit inevitability is the evidence. ’

I needed a reliable pre and post treaty. Saikers demand their own safety and freedom. It is the exercise of autonomy such as the Citadel. The human side, on the other hand, fears that the sicker will raise power. I'm afraid of something like the Citadel.

‘If we don't kill the dragon, we're both dead. Same old, same old. ’

In the past, the arc project participating nations have restrained each other. Even Arc, the shield, was stingy with support. The arc's combat strength and size remained at a controlled level in the 'national unit'. I didn't want it to get any bigger.

‘The greed and timing made me what I am. Now they realize we have to merge. It's who bends pride first. ’

Lee Han kicked his tongue. He writes down the letters with a pen and summarizes his thoughts.

Cheers.

“I'm here. What are you doing? You're a nerd.”

The visit is open. Knut arrives. Lee smiled as soon as he saw Knut's face.

“You…. You're bald. ”

Knut was wearing a hat, but he could see that he was bald. There were no side heads or eyebrows.

“No pubic hair. I grew up a little while ago, and now I'm falling for it. ”

Knut grabs his crotch and says, Inside the arc, Knut is classified as superhuman in many ways. The topic of mental elasticity and endurance has already been judged as unmeasurable because it failed to achieve the highest score. No one knows the pain inside Iron Maiden. I just assumed that two reinforcements killed themselves. Two of the men who killed themselves were hardened soldiers who had been trained in elite training since they were young. They never killed themselves because they were weak.

“How's the radiation? ”

“It's worth it. You know, radiation tastes sweet. ”

Knut points at his tongue.

“I don't really want to try it. Radiation... ”

Lee shakes his head excitedly. Knut doesn't seem to be in bad shape.

“How did you survive? ”

Knut asked.

“I got lucky. Read the full report later. ”

Lee handed over the whole thing. It was complicated and long to explain right now. Knut and Ihan spoke as if they were exchanging things that had happened.

‘What will Knut think about the Citadel...?' ’

Lee opened his mouth after taking a few moments.

“You know Kuro's in Citadel, right? ”

Knut's expression changes sharply. His eyes turn dim. Knut's fingertips are slightly trembling.

“Have you ever been to the Citadel? Yihan?”

A dry and cold voice. Lee often noticed that he had touched something disgusting.

“Yes. I've been to the Citadel and the Ark, both. We have to stick together to survive. ”

“Don't be ridiculous. Hahn. Do you know what they did? ”

“I know what you mean. But this is a real problem. Knute. We'll just be individually defeated. ”

Lee said comfortably. The silence rises. Knut looks at her with his eyes wide open.

“What are you talking about.... They killed Jose... ”

Knut said in a voice that sounded like he would cry. Lee Han seemed to have been hit in the back with a hammer. I was stuck.

“Jose is dead. ”

Lee smiled bitterly. So far, I've seen and anticipated the surrounding reactions. When I asked about Jose, I avoided the answer. I guess everyone didn't want to say it in person. But I never expected the Citadel to be the one who killed Jose.

‘At least Kuro wouldn't be involved. The Omega-1 is all that's left. ’

Lee was constantly thinking while holding onto the edible breasts.

“The day after they left the arc, José was found dead. He was shot dead in the night. The night before, Omega-1 failed to persuade Jose. It's obvious he's the one who killed Jose. ”

“There's no corroboration. ”

“What more proof do you need? Do you really believe in Omega-1? That guy?"

Lee had a headache. Things were worse than I thought.

Did Omega-1 really kill Jose? What's the point of killing Jose? ’

Yihan calmed down Knut first. Knute's excited fingertips tremble excessively. I felt like I had a seizure. Knut spits out a swear word and pulls something out of his pocket. The ampoule syringe.

“Damn it, hold on. ”

Knut raises the syringe with his trembling hand. Lee opened his eyes narrowly.

“Knute, what's that? ”

“I can't because my hands are shaking. Please, Hahn. ”

The pale face of Knut hands the syringe over to Lee Han. Lee placed an injection in Knute's forearm. Knut closes his eyes and trembles.

‘Drug habit...? ’

Lee Han frowned. Knut was a relaxed expression. My hands and feet stopped trembling.

“Knute, I think I'd better hang up if it's medicine. ”

“I'd like to, but it's not up to me. It's okay. Damage can be offset by healing factor. ”

Drugs break your body. This does not apply to knots with healing factors. However, the stimulation imprinted on the brain cannot heal with healing factors. Mental damage and drug dependence grew daily.

‘Do I have to fight to make it look like this? Sergeant Red must be part of the group that authorized this. ’

Lee did not provoke Knut any more. Knut also calms down, raising his torso.

“I didn't blame you. Hahn. They have to tear the Citadel apart anyway. If the arc had survived without the incitement, the war would have already been over. ”

Knut revealed a strong hostility towards the Citadel. Anger and hatred were deep. Lee was standing silently.

Lee stayed on the terranode for three more days. The standby order was infinite. Sergeant Red didn't even see his face when he was busy with work. Lee seemed to know why the crew of Terra Node were so depressed.

‘I haven't seen the sun in three days. ’

The Citadel or Underground Shelter were close to the ground. You can go outside at any time if you want. The terranode is locked deep in the sea. Far from the ground. If you open the hatch and leave, you will die of pressure.

There are few places to find comfort in the barren environment that has been isolated for a long time. The crew was obsessed with entertainment and small pleasures.

‘It will be safer here, but the Citadel is much better in living conditions. ’

Lee walked through a solid corridor. He received a call from his superiors. You can see the men on the guard in the middle.

Lee went into a big meeting room. I saw Sergeant Red and the strangers.

“I'm Deputy Commander Tobias. ”

A middle-aged man in a military uniform said. The conference room was in the atmosphere of a hearing. Lee Han rolled his eyes around. There are a mix of Arc and U.S. military executives.

“It's Ihan.”

Colonel Tobias was a middle-aged man with dark circles. The wrinkles under the eyes were sagging and gloomy. You can see the military stubbornness in the mouth of the dark gate.

“That's interesting information coming from your mouth. We've been reviewing it for a long time. ”

Colonel Tobias presided over the meeting. I felt like I was in charge. Lee knew it was Colonel Tobias he had to deal with. We have to convince him.

“The Bahamut trio of dragons, the Hive, is now powerless to kill. Silver needs your help. My point is this: ”

“Is there any way you can prove that the Hive is resurrected? ”

Another executive rebelled against Lee. Lee closed his eyes for a moment.

‘It's annoying.'

It was an honest feeling for Lee Han. People in places like that listen and filter out a lot of information in a day. That's why I don't trust information easily. Moreover, Lee Han had a big gap of 3 years. It was hard to gain trust.

“Could it be that you've been in contact with us for three years because you had other intentions? It is possible to doubt. Above all, I've been through the Citadel... ”

Lee hangs up his words.

“I grew up in an arc and trained. Killed those damn dragons over and over again. Who are you going to trust if you don't trust me on this? Time travel? Immortality? I wouldn't be so desperate right now. But we'll all be dead by the time we prove the Hive is back to life.... as it has been so far. If we fail again, do you think there will be a species of humanity left? ”

Lee Han vomited an irritating rage. His emotional tone was greatly appealing to some people. These were not the only people who were tired of the one-step tabletop. Sometimes emotion moves the mind faster than logic. Lee did not say mathematically, but expressed an honest feeling.

‘I can no longer wait to understand other people's situation. Now kill them or we die. Why don't you understand it's a cliff that doesn't have a back? ’
