The Little Prince in the Ossuary

# Valley of Death (16)

When the operational Neptune Sphere shot Osama bin Laden, Devgro won a perfect victory over the terrorists. Quickly and accurately, without a single warrior.

But winter was skeptical. Can we do that again today?

At that time, I heard you built a training ground similar to bin Laden's hideout and repeated it for several weeks. Of course, we didn't secure the safe house's internal structure, but there was a thorough preparation process.

But how about today? The opponent is a regular soldier, and Devgro was sent on another mission and was called out of nowhere. It is much different from the past when it was put in its best state. If there is one consolation, it is only that more troops are sent with much superior support than before.

Winter qualifications were still advisors. According to Hunt, it's a process of becoming important. There were tactical commanders sitting in headsets in front of the screens that shared their vision, but they were also advisers. All tactical judgments are made on site. It was just to assist and connect support.

‘You need to apply the brakes at the same time. ’

I didn't say it out loud, but everyone was thinking the same thing about winter.

There have been rumors about Devgro since the beginning of the Civil War. They leave their mark when they kill special variants. The trail was a V-shaped gunshot wound to the corpse's head.

It's called canoeing. A Sweetfish that was tagged because it looks like a trail of canoes. If you shoot at the right angle from the front, the upper part will fly away and leave a trail. The deeper you learn about the strength of ammunition and the rigidity of the human body, i.e., the more familiar you are with gun killing, the deeper your goal will be.

In fact, it was famous before the plague. Even with the president watching from a distance, he did the same thing to bin Laden. Some say they used to compare their skills with each other by collecting such photos. It was literally out of control.

They were the tools used by the state to kill. I don't mind using people as tools. However, Yang Yong-bin's public listing was also a tool in winter. All that remained was the ability to serve as a soldier and eliminate the rest. This is why I thought about it before. People aren't supposed to be tools.

“Start as soon as you're ready. ”

A Special Forces commander responds to the situation room supervisor's message.

[We are always ready.]

Suddenly, the fixtures on the table vibrate. It was only after the ground shook that the thunderclap came. The sound of blowing up the outside walls and ceilings of the power plant. The chariot saturates with a sudden lag. The shot in the infrared video was a flash of white gray. Numerous pixels popped up at the point the stock was aiming at. Tiny diffusions that are hard to see visually. As winter predicted, it was a cannonball that scattered small shoals. The darkness inside the collapsed outer wall shimmers faintly. The tungsten grains were fireworks that destroyed the concrete.

[Red team, contact with enemy. Shots fired at B3.]

Major Devgrou's voice is very cool, even as he pulls the trigger.

The gas was useless because the enemy was wearing a gas mask. Grenades and flares explode. In the dusty darkness that swept through light and noise, fewer and fewer were exchanging fierce gunfire. Two crews crawling into rapid ambush have dismantled the booby-trap. They were pre-located.

Pee Pei.

I hear sharp electronic tones that I might hear at the hospital. Five graphs representing the strikers' hearts were drawn in a straight line almost simultaneously. The video of their share is also turned off.

“EMP.”

The daredevil mumbling controller.

More and more puffy monitors fade away over time. The electrocardiogram that draws parallel lines also increased. However, through the view and speakers of the crew who are still able to communicate, winter saw that the impact of the strike force was not great. At least not yet.

Whatever the Chinese military had prepared, it would have been the best in a harsh environment.

A bulletproof bulldozer in the Engineers pierces through the collapsed compartment. It was the expected location of the hostages beyond. The controller, who checked the elapsed time, was unable to conceal the anxiety. Winter also looks at the clock. 23: 27. It would be best to arrive within the next 3 minutes. If you really have a bomb on the hostage, and you have a timer on it, the timer reset cycle is likely to be an easy unit of confirmation, like 15 minutes, 30 minutes, an hour.

Another team of Devgrou's men patrolling the bulldozers rushes in with incredible speed. Disassembling or blowing up traps we never found before. China's military struggles against the collapse of its walls. I don't know where the gun went, or if it was hit by a rock or if it was stripped of its helmet. He's bleeding from his forehead.

[Don't kill me! Capture him alive!]

Taang! A piece of concrete splashes over the head of a Chinese deputy commander. A sharp slash grazed the crown. Two followers carefully dealt with the Chinese military. But it was more cautious of the possibility of explosives under his belly than of caring to save him.

“That's good. Better than not having one of your men testify." ”

The Tactical Controller was preparing for the death of the publicly traded man. Worst case, high probability.

The squadron pushes through without hesitation. There should have been Chinese troops stationed near the hostages, but there is no odd resistance.

[Hostages secured! Survival check!]

Unarmed and encased, American and civilian technicians struggle with their bodies as they look at the strikes. There doesn't seem to be any traps. The situation room was in a panic. It was the same for the White House. The president jumped off the screen. I can see the thrown documents crumbling and falling. Even though it's early to be happy.

A striker approaches the best of the captives, pulling out his sword and cutting off his gaze. A guard holds a gun to the prisoner's head. Typical operations involve identifying military numbers, names, and affiliations, but here we have facial recognition in the situation room.

[Sir, have you ever impersonated a trap or hostage?]

[No. They just locked us up. Thank you for saving me.]

Hunt hears this muttering.

“Of course I thought I killed them all.... I thought the Geneva Convention was a joke. ”

“Maybe you don't think you should do it as a soldier. You seemed to despise the barbaric. ”

The words of winter cost Hunt his life.

“Oh, Lord. Don't underestimate that maniac's beliefs. ”

“ ……. ”

If the purpose of the publication was the same as the winter assumption, it would have been beneficial to actually kill the hostages. But he didn't. Seeing that there are no safety devices such as time bombs, it seems that they were not even considered from the beginning. He believed he was doing his duty as a soldier, so he also had to fulfill another duty as a soldier. His frenzy had its own consistency. It was simply a hard reason to ignore the madman's whimsy.

“First of all, you didn't have to do that. The moment the attack started, he realized he had achieved his purpose. ”

“Hmm……. ”

Hunt nods as he clears the heat of joy for a moment.

“Indeed. The safety of the hostages and the rush to attack in a situation where the samples might be real, is proof that this is not the place to be." Drowning or swimming, I have no choice but to seek swift resolution. In other words, the reason I held a hostage was to increase the pressure of the government…… and to add motivation to the action…… so that I could make sure that my goal was achieved……. ”

His acceptance became more and more monologue.

Therefore, the end of this night would be the end of Yang Yong-bin's publication. His goal was to do so at the time the video was released, at the time his expression exploded the savagery of the Americans, and now that we've confirmed the results, there should be no trace of him left.

America collapses on its own. It sounded like I heard a quiet public voice.

Over time, the Chinese military's resistance has drastically weakened. Less than 10 minutes after entering the battalion. This was more than just the difference in performance, the difference between numbers and firepower and equipment.

However, the loss of the striking party is also not small. Our mission was more important than the safety of the crew.

[Situation Room. Tango Yankee not identified.]

[There's no way he got away! Check the faces of the dead!]

After pushing it all the way in, it was informed that there was no Yang Yong-bin listing.

[I found something incinerated. Wear a full body mask and step back.]

If the sample is incinerated, biological contamination should be vigilant. Isolated pathogens can be lethal. However, the strikers feel a sharp nerve rather than a tension. Even if we had to hurry, if we had originally thought the samples were authentic, we would have entered with much more thorough protection.

While the Devgrou crew searched for the body and found the listed body, a health care unit wearing a biohazard suit and carrying oxygen barrels entered the scene. Their field of view transmitted to the screen was the original color.

[Is this…… an ampoule fragment?]

A thin piece of glass picked up with a tweezers emits a dark, dull light under the lantern light. There is a bit of a glassy gloss left on the carburized edge. Taking the pieces together, it looked similar in size to the ampoules that were shown in the video distributed by Yang Yong-bin.

[I don't think I just burned it.... Damn, you've been playing from the start, too.]

[We should take it and analyze it just in case.]

[But the specimen burns strangely.]

He scratches a portion of the sticky carbide that sticks to the floor and checks the viscosity with his fingertips. He gestures sideways.

[Hey, let's see if this blood reacts.]

The healthcare professional in the class suspected that they didn't burn the bodies here. If so, it was likely to be Yang Yong-bin's publication.

The results on the disposable testing equipment were positive. Human blood.

A little later, a more obvious situation was discovered.

[Here, this way. An unidentified corpse.]

The remains were hard for the layman to see. However, experts at a glance recognized the fragmented human bones.

But that's just the way it is. There was no conclusive evidence that it was listed as Yang Yong-bin. A DNA test must also have a sample to compare. A search for the Striking Party is still underway. Maybe it's lying underneath the collapsed compartment, and the engineers are digging through the rocks. But there was a foresight. Tactical Control takes the headset off and throws it away.

“Have we been robbed of victory.... ”

Rescuing the hostages is not enough. The uncertain end of Yang Yong-bin's publication, beyond the failure of sample acquisition, would have left a very long sequelae.

‘Survival theory will never cease. ’

Regardless of the identity of the object we just uncovered, Winter believed the list was dead. It was because there was no way to leave the true intentions of the publication, literally. But I couldn't expect rational people to want to be angry and use those people for reasons.

“Major, I have some good news. ”

Hunt summons winter. He sticks one hand in his pocket and handles the notebook with the other. Winter when I looked at the screen, I realized the intranet had been restored.

“…… Seattle bloodless? ”

“So you say. There was sporadic combat, but no systemic or large-scale attacks. There may be Trojan Horses, but that's what we need to do gradually. ”

In the forest of the fallen skyscrapers in the footage released by the Pentagon, Seattle's long-lost isolated citizens cried out as they waved their ancestors towards chariots and armored cars. Considering their surroundings, they mute, but their frenzy burns hot without a sound.

The troops who finally reached Puget Sound Bay across the city also passed the scenery of stopping against the setting waves and relaxing. The smile on the mouths of officers and soldiers was so contrasting with the atmosphere here.

“Yogi Vera said. It's not over until it's over. ”

Winter leans in with Hunt's words.

“Yogi Vera? ”

“You don't know? New York Yankees' finest artillery? ”

“ ……. ”

“Well, maybe not. ”

Hunt shrugs his shoulders and gives a weary smile.

“In the future, there will be hope and madness. We're here today to see whether the madness we received as a gift or the hope we're going to create will win. ”

“I see.”

“I'm a pessimist in most cases, but this time I'm going to put my hopes up. ”

because there are still some people like major. Hunt glances lightly at the winter. His eyes felt cold and familiar at the same time.

# Jackpot

Well, first of all, thank you for congratulating me.

But personally... it's an event I don't want to be honest with you about.

# Q&A

Q. NO NAME: @, where does your pure compassion recharge?

A. Proteins, carbohydrates, bienstepan, good books, good movies, eating and cheering, putin and readers.

Q. Carpies: If you go further down from here, you'll find recommendations for some of Korea's best Namsan restaurants. If you never sneeze, it's free. Seats are ropes on the ceiling. Oh, you know you're not supposed to eat that, right?

A. Weren't those restaurant doors closed? Once upon a time, it was a favorite restaurant.

Q. Caioga: Do you believe in writer @, that "you will be Scarochen in the afterlife", "Winter will be happy in Trinity" is what I lack in faith? Haha.

A. Yeah, that's a lot to take in. Infidels, Infidels...

Somehow, my disbelief in happy endings has become a meme that bothers me. Good readers don't do that.

Q. Earl: I always want to lick your tentacles every time I read @ writer's article. I always read it very, very funny.

A. Thank you. But there are no tentacles. My appearance complies with regulations for Korean broadcasting hearings.

Q. Pornography Devil F: @ Do you want to go to a cold winter town or a white house or a pentagon apartment?

A. Well. We're not done with the repatriation. Rather, it's a question of the future. You can't ask.

Q. Ireland: In South America, military bees are jumping, alligators and infectious organisms are getting eaten away.

A. If you take this seriously, I think it'll be spoiler... Heheh.

Q. BlitZkrieG @ Last time you showed me a conversation about getting rid of a hurricane with a nuclear bomb, I saw in the news today that there was actually an opinion in America that we should detonate a nuclear bomb.

A. If we're going to get rid of this son of a bitch with a nuke... how much do we have to spill?

Q. Qvex: @ I think it's a great novel for adults like the young prince to read, but I can't give up because there are no common worldview errors in fantasy novels, no logical developments... without the main character's monkey elements.

A. The Ossuary is a normal web novel. I'm glad some of you enjoyed reading it.

Q. Do you like @ devil or Satan?

A. If we're both screwed...

Q. Nyar: I'm sure you've played it three times a week... Why do you feel like you're not? Suddenly, my sympathy blooms in my veins, and I want to ask you... (...............)... the same question someone asked me before... but why are the names of autumn and winter the last conscience of humanity? I guess the question was, was it built to express that? Did I suddenly miss spring, summer, and autumn? If not, does winter hold spring, meaning last hope? And so on and so forth. Maybe he went out too far... Maybe he just said it out loud...

A. There's a rumor somewhere that I've never played in three or four days...

It seems that many of your readers live on other planets with different cycles.

The names of autumn and winter... I made a mistake in the beginning of Yeondae calling winter by a different name. Because the name of winter in the original concept was not winter. I didn't change my name for no reason.

Autumn is the season when roses bloom and Sid is the season. Among the subtitles, the season of rose seeds means fall soon.

Do you remember the part where winter gave the autumn a green dress, and the president was strangely matching it? The flower horse of a green rose is a virtuous love that doesn't exist in this world.

Blue, born in summer, is not the name of the season. because they weren't mature enough for the season.

And there is no spring in winter. You just have to trust the goodness and compassion of the writer, whether it ends in winter or whether spring comes to winter.

Q. JSKK: Reading from the @ army, I'm recharging my compassion. Thank you very much. If you're not a spoiler in a story, what percentage of the time is the end 100 percent? I wonder if I will see the completion before I quit.

A. It looks like it's going on about six to 70 percent.

Before you go, we'll show you a clear way to view the completion. It's the path of a professional soldier...

I'm sorry. Please help me.
