The Little Prince in the Ossuary

# Valley of Death (2)

It was a symbol of the Cavalry. Rescue operations were practically in the final stages, but as long as the cavalry was illuminated on the screen, it was easy for the citizens to feel that the rescue was not yet complete. What the government wants with such a misconception is probably a soft landing, a soft acceptance of social impact.

"There are only 370,000 of them. ’

At this time, the exact number for the winter PDA is 372,620. It was the sum total of surviving sergeants rescued here in Olema FOB, Fort Roberts, Marigold, etc. Only, there are many numbers to put the modifier, and I have to say that the survivors' adversity is greater than the efforts of the rescuers, but on the other hand, it means that close to 1.6 million troops have not returned.

A heavy gunshot echoes across the hill. Not a typical rifle.

“Where is it?”

Warden Rogers asks Satan, and the camera on the crane changes the angle of the shot. The Division Chief of Operations, on horseback, manipulates the Tactical Information tablet. Touch the screen a few times to see footage from the battlefield against the map. It was a split screen showing multiple points of view simultaneously.

“The White Task Force is engaged at Rhine Kilo. About 70…… in the size of the enemy group. No specialty variants other than ghouls were found, but a large number of people in protective clothing were included and were drawn into the heavy machine gun firewall. The battle is about to end. ”

Engagement itself was no big deal. The warden pointed out without changing his face.

“Mind your choice of words. ”

Operation Chief was confused for a second, then he looked at the camera. People in body armor. If I stayed on the air, I'd get caught. Filtered, of course, but censorship does not mean deletion. It was suggested that the information disclosure system might cause embarrassment in the future.

“Sorry, I'll make it right. ”

“Is Young Hyun's study team standing by? ”

“We're on the other side now. We'll be back at 1500." ”

If you're wearing body armor, you're more likely to be an American warrior. We can't leave the remains of a warrior behind because things have improved, unlike before. Young Hyun's apprentice personnel were actively conserving sleep.

The cavalry passed by the cathedral. The place where the funeral didn't ring the bell right after we first arrived in this small town. At the time, there weren't even any servicemen, but now the official servicemen are staying.

The bodies that were buried back then were transported home. Sergeant Osborne would have been relieved of his burden.

Weeing

The sound of a power saw spinning. In the woodshed next to the church, he was weaving a coffin just like back then. It was no longer Lieutenant Escamyla's business. The officers and soldiers who had been declared unsuitable for combat and who were waiting for transport were volunteered to take turns alternately. I think it'll be okay, but it's better than having nothing to do.

Soldiers who sweat with their shirts off are just obsessed faces. Camera cranes of special vehicles move towards them. It didn't matter what they made if it was a close-up.

“What does everyone think? ”

Through Mike's gap, the warden has a new fortune.

“One of the challenges of this war is that our enemies get what we lose. Lost troops 1.6 million means 1.6 million enemies with camouflage patterns and body armor. ”

This has always been the worst case imaginable. The chances of all missing persons being infected were slim.

“I heard you're busy fixing Young Hyun on the western front. There are still a lot of disappearances, but most of those wars and bombings wouldn't have been consumed? The enemy has already reached aggressive limits and communication capabilities have been weakened. I don't think I can spare the power. ”

The western front meant the main line of the blockade, not the west, based on Olema base.

“Well, that's what everyone in Iojima thought. ”

“ ……. ”

The Chief of Staff, who argued, keeps his mouth shut. Augmented reality emerged in winter. In World War II, during the Battle of Iojima, many Japanese troops survived and waited for the American troops to land, despite the intense readiness of the American troops. Thanks to the use of a mine shaft.

"Dungeons..." What are the chances? ’

I've never seen winter before and no witnesses have been reported, but this time I think I have a Trickster. Especially in this violent bombing situation. Good for an ambush.

It's hard to dig deeply into the hands of monsters below humans.

However, the level of trench, i.e., trench, could be possible for each individual to avoid debris. Furthermore, there may have been a specific variant here, but it was a slight chance in the middle of winter.

If it's true that there are specific quarters, what is most lacking now is the objects that will exert broad leadership, and ultimately the trickster.

Above all, it is impossible to transmit or receive radio waves in the tunnels. There are limits to breeding in narrow and complex routes. California was also a region of frequent earthquakes. If you don't dig well, you'll be buried alive as a group. It was only a small one, even if there was an underground tunnel and ambush.

Operations Chief says again.

“I warned you earlier at the Institute for Defense Strategy, but if there was such a sign, we would have identified a Ranger or Team A. neither satellites nor aerial reconnaissance. ”

Answer to the Complaint.

“I'm not just saying that with the rubble in mind. Leave specific means and methods in case the enemy is preserving strategic reserves in any way. We are insurance brokers who trade lives. ”

Although it was just a discussion, it was a question of whether it would be a threat even if it was true.

“Major, it's winter. What is your opinion?”

“…… I don't think it's a big deal if I'm not ambushed. ”

“Why?”

“It's hard to concentrate enough to actually pose a threat, even if there is a large number left. ”

No, it's more like impossible. Reason for reduced burden of piano identification with termination of survivor rescue. It was the best condition for the artillery and air force. Highly dense variants are struck by lightning.

“So, you don't have to worry? ”

“You just have to be vigilant. In a distributed attack, each variant must be hard to be meaningless, right? I think it's enough to reinforce night surveillance. ”

General Rogers did not have much of a response. I knew and asked. It was a kind of basic pruritus test. to show other officers, rather than because he wanted to.

The rest of the officers here, except for winter, were in their 30s without exception. Although no one doubts the majors of the young major, there are cases where he is concerned about his lack of judgment as a pure favor.

‘The lack of officers is not necessarily for me right now.... ’

While the size of the U.S. military was rapidly expanding, neither Westpoint nor the academic universities could meet the growing demands of officers. The same goes for the deputies of reserve officers. In the end, there were many examples of short-term education, such as winter, or preschool.

It was the same context that Yurana Jinsuk was able to take over as an officer.

Winter, when he became major in office, was also likely to be recognized as his current rank. The same goes for General Rogers. It was common in exhibitions.

Winter said.

“There's a saying in Korea that we love pooping. ”

“Hmm?”

“Unknown variants this summer. ”

No further explanation was necessary.

“I love pooping. Interesting expression.”

Of course, General Rogers didn't look like he was having any fun at all. Despite the cameras coming back from the middle. It's the best thing for him.

The patrol lasted about an hour. It seemed civilian and a bit awkward to the officers. When the patrol is finally over, the officers look pathetic as Martino says it's going to be enough.

“You may not understand, but we're working on it. It's also common to shoot five hours just to get ten minutes out. Anyway, thank you for your time while you were busy. ”

In front of the circumcised reporter, General Rogers was still clumsy.

“I was just following orders. ”

After regular discussions and coordination, they returned to their stations. Winter leaves Excel in the stable, and you see the soldiers waiting for the commander playing around in the Humvee. The rifle in the rear seat grins and pulls the red handle on the side of the trapeze. With the seat turned off, the sluggish shooter smashes his butt inside the closed tower. Damn! My mouth looks easy to read. The marksman with the impression was Schulz. He has now been promoted to Corporal (SPC).

‘I just got to know him. ’

Not long after the transfer. It was normal to stand idly by with the original squadrons. There would have been an invisible effort. From both. The hook is winter.

“Oh, you're here. ”

As winter boards, everyone is spoiled. It's a little embarrassing every time.

A major driver reported.

“I just got off the phone with a preclinist. I have supplies to pick up from dock 3 in the north, but I think it would be better to stop by car # 1, which is already there, rather than get a license to move the vehicle... If you don't mind, Commander. ”

“It's not a big supply, is it? ”

“Uh, well, haha. It's a cigarette, because there's no BX here. ”

Obviously, it's hard to get a new car out just to bring cigarettes. Winter radioed to the main headquarters.

“From David 6 to David 7. Notice that supplies will be picked up from the prison. ”

Replies were short. Check. Winter mutters as she sets down her radio.

“Everyone better quit smoking. ”

“ ……. ”

Everyone but winter became stiff. A message from a driver in distress.

“Uh, little commander... No, if the commander tells me to hang up, everyone will hang up. ”

“I'm not forcing you. that it would be better to just do that. ”

“ ……. ”

“It's not a compulsion……. ”

Grumble can't help but smell a 50-meter radius in a windless environment. Stalkers specialized in tracking were more than that, and even common variants had a sense of smell that surpassed humans. The intense smell of burning cigarettes would attract monsters in a wider range than body odor.

Nevertheless, the Ministry of Defense provides the soldiers with cigarettes. The goal is to remain deceptive. To focus solely on improving viability, you will need to eliminate any odor from your combat rations.

“Let's go. ”

The driver who was troubled by the end of winter only returned to reality.

The landscape began to slide outside the car window. The unpaved road was almost white dirt. A row of trucks headed for the makeshift harbor carries coffins covering the Progenitor. Bodies found by ointment are transported by flight, and those not.

The winter rolls over, but I don't see Schulz's face on the turret. The emotional disconnect between the other platoon members and the newly assigned skilled soldiers was inevitable.

Put power on the radio. It was a separate accessory, not the receiver that was originally on it. The antenna on the base allows reception. Winter is still searching for the frequency of the news channel.

Breaking news: The Jacksonville Neptune Beach infection, which made Northern Florida nervous, was resolved in just half a day after the initial report. Field access is still under control, but Jacksonville police authorities have announced that the spread of the infection has been completely stopped.

“It's not as safe as the east. ”

The horse in the back seat repelled winter.

“It's a beach.”

The starting point of infection is probably Melville. A monster from the west coast traveled thousands of kilometers and traveled all the way to the east.

It could have gone inland through the river, but the U.S. government was aware of the possibility.

‘But is there anyone who enjoys the sea bathing in these times.... ’

How did you get infected?

It turns out that there were 7 ultimate victims and shared mistrust with the government through SNS. If you look at that, they believe that the government intentionally exaggerates the epidemic crisis in order to control and suppress the people, thereby establishing a permanent system of control by capitalists, for the same reason that it took a triple wire and went offshore.

“There's no limit to how stupid a person can be. ”

Schultz's ridiculous voice.

According to site reports, the incident was already closed before the military marched. The first encounters with mutants were local resident Edmund Zimmerman, 72, and 69-year-old Nina Zimmerman. At that time, the Jimmermans were taking a stroll, pulling automatic rifles and shotguns from the stroller that they were always carrying immediately after encountering the infected victims.

“ ……. ”

The stroller? Why is it hypnotic.... Winter was embarrassed. On the radio, the neighbors who heard gunfire and screaming continued to shoot support through the windows. Mutants were killed by dozens of bullets and a few arrows.

"Mayor Dusty Norris described this as a victory for the brave citizens. This tells us that we have successfully overcome the thirty-eighth infection in the safe zone.

The driver looked shaky.

“The blockade will be down for a while, right? ”

“Don't talk ill. How do we stop civilians from doing something like Grumbling? ”

“I'm just saying. ”

It is true that the military's ability to respond at a civilian level has also been enhanced thanks to their well-being. As I just heard, even commuter trains wear gloves. The expression "fortified community" has been mentioned since last year.

A hypothetical pier appeared over the front window. The siding was still working, and there were several docks under construction. Dozens of coffins float on the mooring coast guard's sailboat, Bark Eagle. Every time the coffin rises on the deck, you see a solemn soldier saluting.

“What? Major? ”

An officer on a speedboat carrying a mine recognized winter.

“Good to see you looking well, lieutenant. No, you're a lieutenant now. I didn't expect to see you here. ”

Lt. Barker smiles, bowing steadily.

“I'm guarding the harbor now. chasing sea monsters and blowing them up. In a way, you're back in business. What brings you here? ”

“To get some cigarettes. ”

“Oh, let's have a smoke here. ”

“I don't smoke... ”

Looking back, Winter nods at the quiet plea of the squadrons.

“I think I can take a break. ”

It was quick to pick up. After a while, the soldiers enjoyed the pleasure of sending cigarettes out in the cool breeze of the sea. Gathers on the breezy side, being considerate of winter. The sound of waves. Seagulls flew in the rarely cloudy sky.

Given the imminent operation, it was an oddly peaceful time.

# Q&A

Q. Epsilon00: @ This subtitle feels Protestant. I've heard so much about you in the Valley of Death... Haha... What are you doing at the Holy Festival? And at first I saw the title, and I thought winter would be a little prince, but I was starting to wonder if it was Operation AI. Is winter the role of a fox? I love reading your novel about relationships with the Little Prince, so I have a lot to think about on my own after reading it:) Please help me finish it!

A. Symbols and symbols are not necessarily one-on-one responses. Haha. If you go back, it's actually a one-on-one response. But it's a writer's idea, so don't worry too much. because fiction is a means of communication, and interpretation is the domain of readers.

Q. Pornography Devil F: The golden goose of @ death, King David, the Saint's Festival, the hot weather like I9... It feels kind of dark.

A. Some citizens who like winter call winter the prince of hell...

Q. Roanid: I didn't even know I was getting a chicken transplant in front of @ 's work. Don't write more glamorously than chicken.

A. What nonsense... was that chicken BBQ?...

Q. Karen: @ huh? The Warden's horse... Isn't it a habit of winter? Is the warden inspiring himself to listen to the words of winter?

A. Well. What do you think?

Q. Naughty Devil F: @ Operation AI was a woman. Isn't Director Gibson pathetic enough?

A. A starlight child has no gender.:)

Q. Ichidas: @ writer, do you have the same end-of-the-world game? Have you tried the Fallout Series?? The egg blind is completely different, but the game system seems to be somewhat similar. I thought you might be familiar.

A. I'm afraid I haven't done that yet. I'm intrigued by its similarity.

Q. Baek Woo Shin: @ Tyring! Baek Wu is going on a mission! I made Tang Su Kyung during a male and female date at a Chinese house! Men tend to eat Tang Su Kyung while women are awkward, and women tend to pour! What wise choice do we have to make? (Note that this was a real situation and if you hit a coupon, if you hit it, it would be 2. What's this? Chapter 13 Opportunity If you fail, I will delete the picking 1 day ♥)

A., think about it... Just ask for another big plate...

Q. Asride: @ Would you allow me to complete the novel or if someone wanted to use the Young Prince's spinoff before then? Of course it wasn't me.

A. It doesn't matter if it's not for commercial purposes. unless the publisher hates it.

Q. 234XCVCV: Personally, I didn't feel like you were criticizing baking. Even though the old people and their viewers represented the pastry writers and readers in the Ossuary, I think the attitude towards them in the novel was quite warm. not just because your personality is low, but because you're obsessed with the peripheral pleasures because you can't afford to be in a society where you don't let people be human.

A. Yes, that was the writer's intention. I'm glad you know someone. T
