The Little Prince in the Ossuary

# Valley of Death (12)

The number of strikers preparing for an attack increases over time. Only three major armed with the same level as the crew. We are exchanging opinions and solidarity with the map and monitor in front of us with a communicator. Those who were going to infiltrate different routes were field commanders who were actually treated as superior to winter, even if they were equal to winter in rank.

A colonel from the same unit oversees the operation from behind. Questions fall on him in the communications network. It was a strange voice for the winter, but the colonel's reaction held him back for a long time.

[Still no video inside the power plant? Looks like it's past the scheduled time.]

[Please wait a little longer. It's due to increased work time to reduce noise.]

The landscape of the main screen has changed. The reconnaissance plane passing over the power plant reflected the work the colonel mentioned. A Black team responsible for search and reconnaissance within Devgro has drilled seven holes against the outer walls of the power plant. Unmanned location inside the walls in the drawing. The screen repeatedly zooms in and out. When it was maximized, it was high resolution enough to see the pores of one crew member.

There are no Chinese troops disguised as U.S. troops around. Apparently, the U.S. military was worried about shooting the scene. The decoy beacon remains off. There won't be any threats, even if you turn it on.

The drill has been secured to the wall, adding a slower depth. Sweat drops formed on the forehead of the crew manipulating the drill. Other forces that make up the siege network to conceal this work have produced the most natural noise possible. The process of building seriousness was noisy anyway.

Finally, the man who drilled the hole blocked the hole with his bare hands. It was because of the possibility that the light would leak out. Another man brings the bag to his hands. When the case was opened, the two wrapped camera cables (Inspection Camera), monitors, controllers and relays appeared. Basically similar to endoscopy, but there were many differences in function. There's a microphone at the tip.

[Point 1. Enter the camera.]

The crew connected the cable to the controller and slowly pushed the opposite end of the lens into the hole. In the Situation Room, we were able to simultaneously monitor the satellite screen, aerial reconnaissance, the push process, and the cameras going inside.

The camera cable footage seemed to originally pass through a dark tunnel. Finally, I reflected on the calming view of the room.

The crew holding the controller now presses the up and down and left directional keys. Then the cable with the camera moved by itself, surprisingly as if it were alive.

I thought winter would look like a big, thick artist.

Is that an artificial muscle?

It looks like an artificial muscle was inserted into the cable sheath. When electricity flows, contract.

Carefully installed volumetric traps are found each time the angle of the shot varies. Grenades, grenades, plastic explosives, etc. connected by handrails. The discovered traps have been updated on the Operation Map in real time, with a slight lag. However, there were some of the most shocking devices.

[Damn. What's that?]

Represents everyone's feelings, who is abusive. Winter sighed as well.

It was the remains of a trickster with electrodes in it.

For all intents and purposes, he spread his limbs like a crucified Jesus.

There was no law against picking up mutant bodies. It's not that hard to find. Search the area where American bombings are being launched. Or maybe he's on his own.

Chinese soldiers, who showed brief figures, were wearing body masks. A precaution in case the United States prioritizes securing pathogens over hostages, not because of toxic gases in the room. Of course, it was unlikely at the time the video was released, but it was the last win of its life for Yang Yong-bin. He would not ignore the slightest possibility.

“This is gonna be a real dog fight. ”

Hunt's monologue sits side by side. Winter agreed. How many traps could such a body have? Even if it wasn't Trickster's, there was a means to create a local EMP. Strong current flows into the coil, explodes an energized coil. That's a power plant, after all. From the moment we engage indoors, all electronic equipment and communications will be paralyzed.

‘Securing the pathogen or rescuing the hostage will of course cross the water.... ’

Winter once again worried about Devgrou's men and the wrath of the United States military. It will be a scene of uncontrollable hatred. All that remains is tragedy.

If you are correct, then it is in accordance with Yang Yong-bin's intentions. Additional goals, maybe. He chose his own grave.

“Can't we reconsider the striker? ”

Hunt quietly answers when winter asks.

“If the negotiation is successful, it will be done without you. ”

“You know, it's not going to work. ”

“ ……. ”

The silent Hunt smiles suddenly. Naturally, it was not only winter that thought the sample in Yang Yong-bin's publication was fake. However.

“I'm sorry, major. The video's already out. ”

This time winter was silent. It's too fast.

Perhaps the escort action to keep the secret caused a faster leak.

“10,000 people are gathered in front of the White House right now. These are people who just popped out as soon as they saw it. This is just the beginning. the disaster that we're seeing. ”

A cynical addition from a Homeland Security executive. We're fucked.

“In the meantime, the President has ordered us to deploy state defense forces to protect Chinese citizens. It's the right decision, of course. They're citizens. They're Americans. But more Americans who go mad and lose their minds are never going to be able to make sense of this. No, it would be fine if we started the frenzy a little earlier. ”

His last analysis was accurate. But the president had no other choice. It was an inevitable poison to fulfill my duty.

“What if I had my statement? ”

Hunt snorts at the offer of winter.

“Trust me, major. No disregard for you, and I know how much your citizens love you, but at this point, your testimony will be more substantial than the merits. ”

His words continue with a relaxed sigh.

“What are you going to say? So the pathogen he has is actually a fake? This is what this maniac wants? ”

“I think it will work, since I've been in Operation Fair Strike. ”

In this decisive aspect, it will be of some importance. Ordinary citizens do not know the details of a covert operation to track a nuclear submarine, but only the fact that winter was there.

But Hunt takes it as a sound-killing snake.

“Hahaha. Hey, who do you think leaked the video? ”

“That's right…. ”

Of course, it is someone inside the military, or someone with a secret clearance. One or several. There are many people on the Dragon Ship. Hundreds and thousands of people could be accomplices who didn't know each other. Winter realizes Hunt's intentions. Hunt lowers his voice as he narrows the street.

“Yes. We can't trust the military or the government right now. The whole country is going mad! Who knows what a decent boss looks like on the outside? You? ”

He laughs at what he says.

“Pentagon, FBI, CIA, White House, Defense Intelligence Bureau……. Even the deepest secrets of Operation Fair Strike can be easily whispered away. And it would be amazing if you had one lightweight. Ha. It will soon come to light that there is no basis for your testimony. ”

“ ……. ”

“Since the major's popularity is great, personal opinions will help a lot……. Well, how about this? What if the public sees you as being used by the government? What if you think you're using your weaknesses as a refugee with people you have to protect to force yourself to speak for the government? And what if certain forces, groups, popularity and power hungry politicians were involved in the polls? Or some citizens, especially Southerners, who feel betrayed by you? What if it greatly reduces your usefulness? But what if Hawthorne's miracle were to be revealed? ”

The miracle of Hawthorne. Citizens of the city next to the largest magazine depot on the mainland are told that winter captured the satellite and saved their lives by avoiding the headshot. However, Yang Yong-bin never wanted the same thing directly from the beginning.

Of course, without satellite interference, the warheads would have fallen more precisely, and thousands of soldiers and citizens would have been swept by nuclear fire. The truth itself. regardless of the intent of the attack.

However, today's citizens will exert explosive power simply by the diversity of their political intentions.

“These are too pessimistic predictions. ”

“But can you say no? ”

Winter did not immediately answer. Hunt despises the public.

“Major, we know this area better. The madness of the group overwhelms the madness of the individual. The crazy crowd is chaos. Those who are angry because they want to believe and be angry because they want to believe, I think you've seen it many times before. ”

Hunt nods exhausted.

“This is just a personal assumption...... I'll use you eventually. But we will choose the most effective moment. After the carnival that eats people, when the festival frenzy and heat disappeared, people's heads got a little cold……. I think it's best if we finish taking back the mainland. That way your image won't be harmed. ”

We need a way to tie up the country. It was the role of war heroes, including winter.

“Above all, I can't ignore the possibility that what he has is real. Even if it's a one in a million chance. It's the fate of mankind at stake. ”

The conversation was over.

While awaiting instructions from the White House in preparation for both the Barge and the Strike Force, winter examines the newly updated information. Vehicles were found abandoned by Chinese troops not far away. It was a glove car covered in camouflage.

A little text is stuck here. It's believed to have only been activated at night, and in the process, confiscated American military equipment all over the place.

The basis was the difference in satellite imagery by date and time zone.

‘Obviously, he expected retaliation before launching a nuclear missile. ’

In retrospect, Yang Yong-bin's plan could not have ended in a nuclear attack. As far as winter was concerned, nuclear war doctrines were crucial to retaliation. If I kill you, I die, and if I die, you die.

Even if the United States retaliated with a nuclear strike, it would have predicted that citizens would not be aggressively attacking the remaining cities. not just by moral burden, but by political burden. To some extent, it would have been best for Yang Yong-bin to have left it to chance.

So, what if we hid our troops and equipment in a secure Node in the center of the city in advance, joined the public registry shortly after the nuclear attack, waited a long time for silence, and now thought the surveillance would be loose, and escaped onto the ground? Aren't all the other mature men you've brought in with you just bait?

It is a hypothesis that there may be some gaps that are somehow connected to the current situation. Escape was never easy…….

The devastating chaos created by the apparent failure of the liberation operation was also calculated.

You can get as much American equipment and clothing as you want from all over the place.

Eventually, the president and the current regime will be condemned in many ways. It is inevitable.

But how did he capture the planned and prepared ambush of small troops, those who waited more than a month after the crisis ended and began to move in secret? Scattered Stragglers in the backyard. They don't have enough room to rescue the survivors. At that time, all the command and government capabilities were saturated.

‘And that's something that people like Kramer don't need to know about. ’

Edgar Kramer, Republican candidate. One of the possibilities of the end of winter is vigilant.

Winter reminded me of a radio broadcast I had heard in San Francisco. Yang Yong-bin would have listened to it as well. Things like that in America. Even if you have been censored, you can guess the rest of the contours.

Based on enemy intelligence, the public has devised the best offensive strategy as a soldier. To maximize our chances of annihilation.

War is not just a weapon.

# Delay delay

Originally, I sent a manuscript around 4pm yesterday, but somehow the manuscript was not uploaded to Naver, so I was unable to post it to Joara.

This is a scheduled upload.

# Tomorrowland

Tunguska: I've seen a film called Tumorow Land, and there's nothing bad about it, but nothing good about it.

Programmer friend: Well, why not see romance? People always need change.

Tunguska: Hit him very hard.

Programmer friend:?!

# Q&A

Q. UNLIMITED One: Surprisingly, you escaped San Francisco a lot. If we even make it out of the supply box... it looks like we're all going to die together, not just for ourselves.

A. The intent of winter was to have an information-capacity box, so there would have been a relevant specialist… It looks like the description was a little short.

Q. Eeiko: Do you think the United States could survive a zombie apocalypse in real life?

A. If the level depicted in typical zombie novels, movies, or dramas remains intact.

If it's at the Mogellonian level... but I think it's possible.

Q. 2E2: Is @ happy ending a happy ending for you? Unhappy readers?

A. A real happy ending for writers and readers alike. Now you have to trust me. Isn't my credit higher than that of the former president? T

Q. Ljugia: Parallel worlds in @ writer's mind. I'm sure you've figured it out before, but you can see the anti-mediocrity in the audience as well.

A. I never imagined a parallel world where winter would be so unhappy when I swore on my finger!

There was nothing wrong with winter at the end before fixing the route. It was part of Operation AI that said there was half a grief. If you don't believe me, we were supposed to have a chapter called # Star Loser.

Q. chesspain: @ is this item fun?

A. If you ask me...

Q. Karphis: I used to watch Jacques Kopa in Seal before. Show me what winter is like for you. If you don't show me, you'll only be dreaming of canned beef with no sauce.

A. I'm just going to eat Tang Su meat without sauce. Hmm, not bad.

Q. Nothing special: I saw @ SeaBreaker. Heil Scalorchen!

A. The forces of evil have been strengthened today...

Q. Pick up some soap: @ In this box is the amount you want. Next time, there's the romance you want. There's a happy ending to your wish. I don't know the difference between three sentences.

A. True, false, true! There's a heart in the box, there's no romance in the next painting, and then there's the happy ending that readers want. Is that clear enough for you?: (

Q. Horang Yi: If @ writer's stupid presidential candidate were elected, would it be possible for the current president to declare a mandate and do so?

A. You can still ask questions about future developments...

Q. Qgegegqe: When I look at all kinds of special variants, I think that if I leave the continent alone for a long time, I might have an Evangelion or an apostle.

A. No way. We'll talk about the enhancement of variants again later.

Q. La Curacacha: @ The Great Old Testament: In the short memory of winter in the past, Etagul used short words, and his language skills were intelligence. Seeing the recent use of guns by Ghouls, could it be possible for a variant that has evolved beyond Etagoul to become radically stronger using human civilization? Is North America still evolving quietly on another peaceful continent, despite winter? At the end of the day, Heil Scalochen!!!

A. Specialized and potentiated variants emerge as needed during the spread of the infection.

In areas where humanity's resistance has disappeared, there is no room for additional enhanced or specialized variants, unless they have spread elsewhere.

Conversely, when the United States supports many countries, there is an increased likelihood of the emergence of specialized species in that region.

It's a natural level scaling in terms of game design.

However, even if you do, you must never use civilization to its full potential.
