# Sacramento (13)

The seasonal boundary was Deadline. On September 1st, there was a new policy in Satan's command.

"Take precedence over hostage structure.

Commands that are not common sense. But there was a reason for this. It was because signs of starvation were observed in the variants. Homophobia is more like a warning sign of a final act. There's nothing to eat from monsters, but I wonder if there's human food. One of the rescued survivors testified that the mutants fed the cockroaches. Later on, they ate them all and gave nothing to the hostages.

How long can the mind of a person who is forced to take a wheel from a monster remain intact?

The policy was delivered, and Meriwether, the preliminary clerk, said:

“People like Popillon are in the movies. ”

It would be better if the hostages could comfort each other, but the mutants did not consider the human mental survival at all. Survivors who were most recently rescued in a state of earnestness were physically moribund. She screams and vomits at anything she feeds.

There are still three hostages left in the mutants' hands.

It may be better to use attacks that expose their safety. This was the judgment of the Command, and it was also the opinions of citizens who were tired of losing favorable battlefields. Claims he's had enough effort for a handful of hostages.

‘To be honest, unpleasant logic……. ’

After all, it's a matter of mindset. I also agree that winter is for the best.

He criticized the military's strategy for simply shutting down the city. Mutants were able to suppress their metabolism, which meant that even if the military had not fortified their nostrils in the city and forced their fatigue by blocking underground routes, they had no reason to starve, and the hostages would have been safer for longer.

Don't be stupid.

It was an irresponsible lesson for the irresponsible in winter. If the city is in the hands of mutants, the urban survivors are also hostages of the plague. Also, inhibiting metabolism does not completely eliminate caloric consumption. Eventually, what the interested parties insisted on was merely a deferred wave.

[Charge!]

A sharp voice of truth flows from the command console. Helmet camera footage was received cleanly without a single line of noise. In the meantime, when installing the underground surveillance, the receiver antenna along with the cable camera also entered. The light on the glove brightened the dark space.

Extra troops are waiting on the ground. As the 2nd Troops clear the passageway, the other Troops secure the area. Several blocks apart, the mutants had no choice but to confront the infantry or protrude to the ground.

However, in a confined space without even Grumble, the Medic is close to invincible.

[Queeeek!]

A small group of variants emerged from the thickening smoke. Distance too short to counter fire. Reflexively leans into the dust. Bang! A shimmy vision. However, the center of gravity tilted to the front draws on the mutant's charge like a wall.

[Die, motherfucker!]

The urgent language was still Korean. A genuine grip of a leech-like creature with one hand and grip it with one hand. The contracting force of artificial muscles is bitten by a dizzy bear. Phew. Phew. The infected leg bone was easily broken. As I swing it, my remaining muscles stretch like a rubber band. A head hitting a wall like an iron mace. Broken neck and bribery.

You then kick the creature on your leg like a ball and fire your weapon with one hand at the man who runs through the wall. I felt like watching a horror movie where my flesh was ripped from the distance of my body. Blood and visceral swarms of inertia in the shredded abdomen of a bullet baptism. An organ twisted like a rope was caught on top of a gun. A diluted stool splattered with blood.

Captain Singh was concerned.

“Medic Troops may have emotional problems later on. ”

“I suppose so.”

Positive winter. PTSD is no exception to a soldier flying an unmanned aerial vehicle, but it is a fact that the probability of experiencing combat increases. He added that the sincerity tends to be pushy. And the men under his command.

Maybe the fatigue of the soldiers is accumulating too much.

Lieutenant Foster reported.

“The battery consumption rate is much higher than the average. We'll adjust your estimated uptime. Seventeen minutes to intercept. Three squadrons will enter Aisle A2. ”

And cough lightly. Even if I rest, I crawl out and sit in a commander's armored car. I was stubborn to stay in bed at the end of the operation. Winter heard his repeated request.

‘It's going to be quick anyway. ’

It is easy to exterminate the mutants unless hostages are considered.

The troops stationed in this city were growing more and more every day as Boar Hunting ended. I wonder if there are more people here than there are mutants.

Maybe the numbers have already been reversed. The variants of this city have been abandoned to preserve the population of the entire plague. Therefore, the numbers were not overwhelming from the beginning, but were consumed constantly and never supplemented from the outside.

The plague is overwhelming even at scale. Winter feels new. Despite the local phenomenon, the twenty-seventh apocalypse is out of specification in many ways.

“Enter from the Grey task force. Engage in front of the city hall. No interference in blocking the escape route. ”

Winter, when I heard from the communications officer, turned the screen. A group of mutants poured out onto the road under pressure from the Mediterranean troops were crucified and killed unilaterally. It was a single shot of heavy machine guns and high-speed grenade launchers arranged to cross in triplicate.

Winter ordered a short time.

“Deliver to 2nd Platoon. No need to consider retreat. ”

Poster confirms.

“Are you sure about this?”

“Running out of batteries doesn't mean you can't move at all. At least it's magnetically retractable. It's not long enough. Rather than blowing it up for an hour while charging, I'd rather press the enemy hard and get it over with. ”

“Hmmm, okay. ”

The sick operations officer agreed and was notified.

Winter calculations showed that the current amount of power was enough to break through the remaining sections.

[Trickster captured!]

I was more nervous by a warning from a mediator. Not because it's a difficult enemy to deal with. It was because of the increased probability of hostages if there was a special variant.

Winter did not give further instructions.

[Hey! Get rid of the grenade launcher! Forward! Forward!]

Squadron Leader Jin has brutally bruised his squad members about to fire the Grenade. We can't ignore the hostages just because they want us to eliminate them before rescue. A situation where soldiers feel a spiritual burden.

Aaaaaaah!

As soon as you go out into the manhole above your head, it's crucified. Trickster's ribcage flashes like metal with nowhere to run. However, the microwave was difficult to stop the Mediterranean. A whip of muscle flew to the Mechanized Soldier who was advancing with his arms blind. Of course, the bioelectric was intense whipping. However, the gloves, assuming the situation to fight the sly special variants from the start, had defensive power against external currents.

Damn it!

The sound of a boneless arm being crushed in the clutches of my hands. Blood spurting. A screaming monster. Jinseok instructs his platoon to pull the special strain like a fishing line.

[Push! Push! I'm not gonna die, you idiots! Check for hostages!]

Crushes the Trickster at the same time. It was a fierce struggle. Trickster is strong, but he has the advantage of the Medic. It was given control over the mutants that did not wriggle their necks.

[I don't think there are any hostages!]

[Check properly! If anyone's still alive, it'll be hard to distinguish them from each other!]

Then Jinsuk stepped in and disabled the Trickster. Break bones, break joints in reverse, crush muscles and immobilize them, then tie them together with a special kind of whip made of flesh and muscles like a rope. Huff, huff. The exhaling breath makes the radio tingle. The battery balance displayed on the monitor increased by 4% in a short time. Red John.

However, the calmness shown by Jinsuk is impressive.

‘It's getting better. ’

Winter upped the assessment of authenticity. The verbal language was rough, but the instructions made sense every time. This is great in practice when your head is white and empty.

At the end of the battle, the mediators were covered in blood. As the excitement subsided, there was a groan of tiredness. The power of the armor depends on the weight of the armor. Therefore, it is only as hard as moving your body.

Moreover, the role is to endure violent physical struggle. It is an example of believing in defensive power and throwing yourself, or colliding with a mutant running with electricity.

Not long ago, even a hernia occurred.

[Ugh... This can't be a hostage, right?]

The HUD battery warning light flashes and a mediator looking for a hostage raises an odd remains.

Jiggle, jiggle. A colleague from the bloodstream examines the remains and gives you a light pinky glass.

[That can't be right. Look at your skin. Throw it away. It's disgusting.]

The last one was no joke. A soldier has already vomited in his gloves.

“David Actual on David 2 Actual. Gather the troops and come to the ground. I will advance the replenishment. Retreat to your holding position with an armored car. ”

As winter radios instruct, the dazed vision of the stone stabilized increases. It was like he was leaning against the wall and stood up.

You'd love to hear the news, right? ’

There was a message he would be pleased to hear.

The returning 2nd platoon was washed with gloves on. The high pressure disinfectant covered the smell of expensive medicines. Some soldiers struggle to scrape away the flesh and bone fragments of the moving parts. Perhaps those who couldn't reach each other had to help each other.

Winter approaches Jin, who raised the visor.

“Well done.”

“Still in the middle of a battle? ”

“This area is almost wiped out. No matter how much I'm in charge, I interfere in detail with other commanding officers. ”

Two other mid-level missions led by winter also had separate commanders, so excessive involvement was unnecessary and inappropriate. Just give me a quick heads-up.

“By the way, ”

What you're trying to get out of here.

“Lieutenant Park Jin-seok. Congratulations on your promotion."

“ ……. ”

The reaction was quicker around me than I was. A chubby reed spreads. I dubiously examined the still-like stone painting of a weary person.

“Is it confirmed? Or will it be?”

“Confirmed. I was promoted at the end of the battle at the Children's Power Plant. We have to assume it's too late. I don't want to get a medal later... But I'll get a lieutenant's salary from today. When you get back to your post, come to the commander's office. I'll give you the rank. ”

His mouth twitched when he heard the answer. I'm sure I'm delighted, but this is what I try to discourage.

“That was the second time as a battlefield leader, but I'm moving up the ranks first. ”

Comparison with Yura.

“…… is that important? ”

“It doesn't matter. ”

I don't think so at all. He hesitates and realizes right away that he saw winter, and his expression is distorted.

“Do you really want to be promoted to Squad Leader? ”

“Since you put the two together in the judging...... you must have promoted the lieutenant today for a reason, too, right? I don't really miss anything.... ”

“…… I see. ”

It's quiet around here.Medic soldiers look into the commander's attention.

Jinsuk no longer seemed happy at all.

# Forced leave

Naver said they would only accept the manuscript until yesterday until next Monday, due to internal affairs.

But I didn't tell you until late last Monday afternoon, so...

I managed to meet the deadline, but when I tried to use it in my sleep, I lost weight again.

I've been weak for so long...

# Q&A

Q. Karen: @ is this a very trivial question, but can you live with the physical specs of winter? If it's not soundproof, I'm nervous because I can hear the outside, and if the television or the monitor is bad or the pixels are bad, I'm sure I'll get caught up in it.

A. sensory correction is not that bad because control personality works selectively for different types of people.:)

Q. Full Metal: I'm curious to hear what you've heard, if you don't mind me saying it out loud.

A. It's not great. I was wearing combat boots, and I wondered how I was going to get electrocuted. He asked me if I was fooling anyone other than the main character.

I was busy postponing the crystals... I'm sick of simple things...

Q. Creedin: I don't see any public service ads these days. You're welcome to come out at this point.

A. In the beginning, there was a brief description of what the mission would look like. Given that, if you think about why there are no missions these days, you might think that writers are suspicious in a lot of ways. Hehe.

Q. Strawberry Sweeper: @ Is this the place the galaxy is famous for?

A. You may wish to pass all exams, including administration. I want to thank my up-and-coming readers.

Q. Karphis: Embrace the White House with the popularity of filling a million dollars with @ leftover gifts! Long live the Winter Kingdom!

A. Impossible as the owner of the White House, and perhaps as a secretary... the Winter Kingdom cannot be ruled by King Elsa.

Q. You're on the @ unlimited number of exams.../Winter and starlight seemed to affect each other's change. I wish I had less sympathy for the aircraft, for the variants, for the last time.

A. Weird. It's true that we've reduced our sympathy levels...

Q. Blue Wave 2: Writer, were the stars affected by separation?

A. That's not it. although I like the wind and the stars.

Q. PainKillingPoet: Can I hug you because I want to get rid of everything because I'm annoyed with the old expression?

A, uh... old-fashioned?... well... it's a little different... but it's more like killing or driving me crazy than throwing it away...

Q. Third_Wing: @ Sinister Writer, do you not join the league to psychologically attack your proficient human readers?

A. It's a loss because I take more damage.

Q. Qgegegqe: I think the protagonist is a character who has been robbed in many ways compared to the age depicted in @.

A. Well... now that I've only written one original, isn't it a little early to discuss the characteristics of my novel as a whole?

Q. Strawberry Sweeper: @ Suddenly I'm curious, how many times did you play before the round? So in the meantime, have you referenced skills, combat capabilities, attempts at raising ratings, such as Nogada, other broadcasters' attacks? Or enjoy the pure winter?) Have you ever played?

A. Though not deliberately consulted, insights that are one of the technological corrections also reflect big data, so you can assume that the post-apocalypse notes made by others were communicated indirectly.
