The Little Prince in the Ossuary

# High Risk High Return (3), Paso Robles

Despite the boy's comfort, the grass of reason was dead. It was like the whole way. It's worth it because you've been in crisis by mistake. I was glad no one was hurt.

However, the increase in Battle Blood is marginal. Winter played the most dangerous role. I tried so hard to be a father.

At the intersection of Riverside Avenue to the south and 13th Street to the east, the boy pointed to a small store nearby.

“Shall we rest there for a while? ”

“Wouldn't we be running out of time? ”

The attitude of the other two men is more respectful than before. I could see the increased reverence and the reduced influence of friendship.

“I think it's going to be okay. Maybe, and we have work to do now. ”

“If it's something I have to do...? ”

Instead of answering, the boy leaned against the wall. The signboard falls apart. The front of the store is made of panes and there are several tables inside. From the menu, it was a pizza place.

Opening the door made a noise. A rattling bubble.It makes my nerves sharper. If there's an infected mutant inside, he'll hear the sound. But it's quiet. You send a call back saying it's okay. Three people enter in an order. He looks nervous. Meaning to relax, the boy squeals and tugs at the chair.

“Have a seat.”

The group catches up with you. The boy unwraps the duffel bag, which is carried by his companion. I take out a whole bunch of canned food when I leave. No dishes were needed. There were forks and knives at each table. We'll just have to dust it off. “Haven't you always run out of food? It's a rare opportunity.Eat up. ”

For refugees, satiety is a distant memory. Park Jin-seok and Ahn-jeong exchange their eyes. It is communication that overcomes generations.

“That's what I said before.... ”

“Yes. What else could it be? If you want to get there and distribute it, you can see the eyes. It's not going to be easy just for you. You have to be this flexible in your life, right? ”

He smiled, shining his naked head.

“Haha, the small commander definitely has the qualities of a leader. Flexibility is important. ”

Two men ripped the canned goods to be good. Meat first. I wonder who's not a man. On the other hand, I sat down depressed as to why. The symptoms are still mild, but if I leave them alone, they may become semi-permanent. Depression, combat fatigue. Winter smiled and pushed the canned goods in front of Yura. She pops the lid before she dries.

“Eat it. It's a waste. ”

“…… I'm not qualified. ”

“Hmm……. ”

What's the right thing to do at this point? Which face should I make? After searching for memories, the boy picks up a fork. Picks a chunk of meat dipped in rich broth. Meat like this is usually cheap. But it was luxurious for refugees.

Yura, who smelled it, swallowed the saliva. Tick, tick. Your face turns red.

“Ah… this……. ”

“Oh, go ahead. ”

“ ……. ”

“Come on, sis. ”

“Sis... Sis... ”

I stuffed my mouth full of piercings to make sure that someone was not a man, and I also stiffened the midsection and the edges of the stone that chewed on my mouth. From the mouth of the boy who had slashed the infected species that were originally human, a voice came from his sister. There's nothing wrong with being shocked.

This is more like the usual way. Still, another problem reveals it.

A good and inhuman leader is good at gaining authority, but that always makes it difficult.

‘Create fantasies of your own. ’

He's not like us. Extraordinary and not human. When it gets worse, they turn people into idols, and they have unrealistic expectations.

He's not like us. It's always gonna work. It's impossible, but he can do anything.

The certainty close to faith is a double-edged sword. The moment of failure, the moment of the collapse of faith, people will bite down like a hungry dog.

Therefore, sometimes, it is necessary to show normal appearance. Impersonating integrity of leadership fits when no other means can give people hope.

It's hard to balance.

Yura struggles, but winter holds no hand. Her face was dirty because she didn't wash properly, but I could see that she was still red. You'd be ashamed. It's early in the morning for a relationship.

“Sum”

“Well done.”

Winter smiles quietly as she closes her eyes and accepts. Yura, who looks sad in a different way than before. When I saw the winter filming again, I was frightened and shook hands.

“Here, I'll eat it now! ”

“It's a bee that makes me worry. ”

“ ……. ”

It was a good time. I laughed low at the top of my head and the bottom of my lungs. Yura spills out two men with wet eyes, resigning and accepting them calmly. Winter feels joyful even though it was a calculated action. I thought it was cute, but I was crying.

"Why?"

I don't know myself.

I guess eating is slower than eating a man. Especially if you haven't had a full meal in months. Meanwhile, the men killed five cans each. I was worried about winter.

“I told you to eat well, but I'm afraid you'll get in. ”

“Huh, boss. I'm a guy from the Marines. ”

The most eloquent answer of my class. Intelligence to conceal awkwardness. Better reactions than the hard ones. There will be compensation due to personality traits. In other words, computational behavior is not only possible for players.

Winter nods.

“It doesn't matter... but... I still have some time, so you're welcome to have some more. I'll share it with you when I get there. ”

Actually, it's a little close. Infectious variants are more active at night and are more visible when illuminated. At least we'll have to get there by sundown. However, I do not tolerate this concern. There's no need to turn back.

Spend about 40 minutes and start moving again.

Paso Robles intersects with the highway on the 13th street, which is an urban road, on Route 101. Along the open line of sight to the left and to the right, you see abandoned vehicles and roaming variants.

All traffic lights at the first intersection after the highway were illuminated. because the electricity supply was cut. Survivors who have not yet evacuated will need to continue transmission, but the government was more concerned about fires or accidents caused by electrical leakage. I heard it on the radio. There are a lot of neglected electronic devices to do. That's a hell of an accident.

There was no big talk. The group is more vigilant than necessary because of accidental engagement at the church, and they get scared every time they see the cross. I saw three crosses before I even crossed a kilometer past the highway. Two Baptist churches, one Catholic church. The doors are all open. There were some mutants who were hanging around. Before looking this way, the boy shoots a hole through his head.

While it is good to use the vehicle as a cover when moving, there may be mutants hiding under the floor. Occasionally, it was safe to look far away from the ground. The combat boots are tough and tough, so biting won't do any harm. But vigilance was forbidden.

“That looks like Daniel Lewis' middle school. ”

Shortly after passing the church building, winter pointed to the direction where the teacher was. A shady entrance made by a large tree. There was a yellow warning sign with a picture of an adult carrying the child across the street. It says "SCHOOL XING."

Over a truck blocking the road, of course. A new sign has emerged. It has the name of the school. Beneath it, a yellow square with an orange border indicated a brief announcement of the test schedule. This test is no longer a hit.

Unlike schools in Korea, I did not surround the walls. That's why there were so few mutants in the open corridor. It was quick in the winter, but the growth of the group is also important. Winter pointed out Eura, who was otherwise vulnerable. The other two are on the lateral border.

“Can you shoot me in the head from this street? ”

“Phew……. ”

It's an unconfident response. The nearest herd is approximately 30 meters away. Five subjects. We haven't found them yet. If you think there's something in the building, you're just lurking around.

Given the typical range of the rifle, it was far enough for an unskilled person to make a bullet. There's no guarantee it'll hit you in the head.

Winter left the skill screen open and included some of the experience gained from the church as Teaching. The progress bar is pushed straight up to increase the grade. Grade 7. The entry of specialist territory should be enough for now.

Raise Melee Combat grade 8 and Personalized Gun Skill grade 9 to grade 10.

We still have room, but we have a flexible world view. To avoid helplessness in the face of unforeseen events, experience must always be left extra.

Teaching is a leadership discipline skill that, when working together, or teaching, enhances the target's acquisition efficiency. Winter instructed Yura.

“Think of it as a great opportunity to gain experience. Take the gun. I'll take care of it if there's a problem. ”

If the mutant attacked does not die immediately, he or she informs his or her colleagues of the danger. In that case, it means to intervene immediately. Yura nods, his rifle barely holding up.

This pose is too clumsy. There were no signs of training. It is a great talent if you do it in practice because you have only learned it for a few days. Not everything is in your head. Winter holds the skull firmly together, pressing her shoulders together, pointing out her breathing.

“My breath is rough. ”

He breathes too fast, making the gun go up and down anxiously. In addition, the hand holding the gun flap is shaking less. It's because it's too strong. I can't get a clean shot.

“Take your finger off the trigger. There's no rush. It can take a while, so fire when ready. ”

The boy adds power to the hand that presses against her shoulder. With repeated encouragement, Yura recovers her calm breath. Close one eye tightly and align the register with the register.

Because the bullet rotates up and down, it is sometimes explained that you have to aim at different heights by distance. However, this is not the case. Rotation affects ballistics, but it does not go up or down. I'm just drawing a gentle parabola. However, when aimed, the gun makes it sound fine, so it hits above the aim point in some sections.

Explaining this, what winter expects is not her understanding. It was just psychological stability. Listening to a short story helps to relax. In fact, Yura's tremor almost subsided. It was thanks to my attention to hearing.

“Good. Much better. Great posture, too.”

I don't take credit for it. It's important. It inspires confidence. If it is too unnatural, it will have an adverse effect, but Yura is not ready to notice.

Winter instructed me that I thought I was ready enough.

“You can put your finger on the trigger now. Adjustment time changed to Triplet. Aim for the variant on the far left. When you're ready, just shoot. You don't have to tell me. Whatever happens, I'll take care of it. Don't worry. Okay?"

“Okay, boss. ”

Hearing the answer, Winter aims her gun. Extremely rapid due to personalization skills.

Yura shoots.

Pfft! Stupid shot with a silencer. A variant of the tip of the oblique line fluctuates. I think I hit him with a hammer. Dark red blood splattered on the wall. Not exactly in the middle of the head, but one of the three has broken the spinal cord.

Fluttering targets. When the other mutants hear the sound, they snap. Different directions of view I shouldn't have found it this way.

Yura was stunned by sudden movements. And the winter is upon us again.

“It's okay, it's okay. Rest assured, you did very well. Now, aim for the far left one again. We'll do it in order. Exhale, shoot when you calm down. ”

It explodes again after about 20 seconds, the same three shots. It didn't work this time. They turn to their fallen comrades. Since they were showing the sides, it would have been best if they pierced the temples. One foot misses, and the other two smashes the clown and jawbone.

“Hiic!”

A target with a single hanging chin. Yura is stunned that he's trying to turn this way. He found this way. At that moment, winter's bullets pierce the glabella. Bend. Head upside down. The torso sweeps over. The limb twitched.

“See? I can handle a messy mistake. Don't be afraid.If you just calm down and shoot again, that's it. You'll get used to it.”

“Yes, yes……. ”

Yura, who swallows her saliva, is sweating on her forehead despite the cold weather. Boy, I'm going to rub it in his eyes, and then I'm going to take a handkerchief. Interpersonal relationships and evaluation of the interactions of Operation AI also had separate rewards.

The shooting continues until all seven variants have fallen. About half the accuracy. Every time I failed, winter took action. They didn't notice this way until the end.

“Well done, Yura. It's your first time, and you're doing great. Now get some rest. ”

“Yes, commander. Whew……. Thank you.I feel confident. ”

I know I was considerate. Yura smiles widely. I could only see the smile beyond the mask, but it was a good face. Winter nods and speaks.

“Here are five in the middle of the lawn. I would appreciate it if Jin-seok would do it this time. ”

“Let's do it.”

A reaction that leads to an error. I feel curious about winter. I know how to do it because I've looked carefully at the rear. I got rid of him more easily than I did with Yura.

Finally, in the case of the self-proclaimed Marine, he shot more comfortably than the two before him. The accuracy was low for such a thing, but I think he made a mistake with a lot of confidence.

“Haha, jeez. I can't face him.It's been too long since I got discharged...... ”

The middle-aged woman scratched her head in style. Maybe he's lying about the Marines coming out. Not that it matters.

When I look at the sky, it's dim. I still have over an hour left. It was the End of Evening Nautical Twilight (EENT) standard that was announced during the briefing at the time of departure.

EENT refers to the time when light completely dissipates after sunset. Even if the sun goes down below the horizon, the sky doesn't turn black right away. The exact time the dusk is cleared is very helpful.

“Let's start with the first building. I'll take the lead. Follow me. ”

Daniel Lewis Middle School was composed of several synonymous single-story buildings. Since each was not so big, winter was expected to last between 10 and 20 minutes per building.
