# Return (2)

The road to the military outpost was also a difficult road for the Constabulary, the police, and various vigilantes. Crying spreads like an epidemic among the tribes they stop. All the sounds that were heard were nothing but extremely elevated emotions.

“Commander! Commander! Well done! Well done! ”

“Everyone! Over here! Ugh, look at this place! ”

“Winter Commander! Give me your hand! ”

There were no men and women in this call. I did not block my nationality. People who have messed up their faces while wiping their tears. However, many middle-aged men were. It is because young people have been continuously consumed.

Winter felt that people's discoloration was unusual.

‘It feels like there's a lot of time. ’

Some remained unique to refugees, but others exhibited a cleanliness that was different from when they left. The most exotic of them all were retro fashion. Fall coats on the A-line and H-line with classic feel suits and waist. It reminds me of the American landscape of the middle of the 20th century, which can be seen in movies even in the afterlife.

Other highly active, survivalistic outfits, and plain 21st-century clothes were mixed at a high rate. It just doesn't stand out for familiarity.

After arriving at the encampment, Min-wan came to unpack and laughed as he heard the winter's emotions.

“Funny thing about tearing it down. ”

“Is that so?"

“It's a trend that started in the mainland, but I see two big initiatives. One is the spread of religious conservatism, and the second is the fragrance of the greatest generation. ”

“The greatest generation? ”

“Those who overcame the Great Depression and World War II and cleaned the frame of the greatest nation in the world. There's a common denominator in this era. We must overcome them as well... It's a reflection of the same meaning. And of course, this is the idea of designers everywhere. At this point, they're just wearing it, so I'm going to have a lot more people wearing it. Isn't that what fashion is all about? ”

He wipes his smile and calms himself, then leans back towards winter.

“You're back. Thank you for your hard work. Thank you so much for everything you've done. And... I know it's embarrassing, but I look forward to your continued support. ”

I also followed the silently wet scenery.

“Welcome back, Ugh, welcome back. First of all, I'm glad you're okay. ”

Winter held them off.

“Don't do this. If it wasn't for you two, this would have been a big concern the whole time we were out there. ”

Min Wangi, who opens his waist, laughs once more.

“I'm still worried. It's fun to deal with. ”

“You haven't changed. That's the point.”

Winter turns around, shaking its head lightly.

“By the way, this place is magnificent. It's too much.”

It was quite a large area for an officer's office. The deployment was made to watch the work behind the sun, and outside the window to the east was an open marine field sergeant. The window frame felt thick, so tapping the glass brought back a dull reverberation unique to bulletproof glass. At the height of the third floor, you looked quite far away.

‘That's where I saw it. ’

It is already a long time ago, but winter has seen the location of this encampment on the map. On the day of cracking down on Chinese gringo drugs, I met O'Connor's security chief. It should be assumed that the initiative to create an Independent squad has been in full swing since then.

Despite the large expansion of the troops, one major garrison will still be here. It is wide enough to enter the script.

Jang-chul sniffed his nose while his eyes were swollen, making a sound like Min-won's.

“Knng. It's easier to deal with strange people with something like this." First of all, you're going to be the tallest man on this base, but you need to have this kind of scaffolding. ”

“That's a long story, but don't you think they already know that? ”

“What are you talking about? ”

“I'm the next head of this base. ”

“Ah.”

The young manager strongly agrees.

“If I work for the military, I can't help but notice. I've been hearing about handovers since before the little commander arrived. Now I'm being treated like a ninth grader, and it's not a secret.... ”

In front of the cloudy slope, winter sat on the edge of the desk.

After the completion, there was at least a few months of dust left in the room. Every step you take leaves a different light mark whenever you raise your hand somewhere. Winter looks at the sparkling dust floating around, and opens the window for ventilation. As the wind blows in, the four flags that hang in empty spaces on both desks falter. Astronomers, weapons, military commissioners, and the honor medal with thirteen stars on it. It was an atmosphere that made the visitors cautious.

Winter shrugs as she sweeps her desk with her fingertips.

“There was someone who said something similar. ”

“What do you mean? ”

“It's easier to deal with people when you have what you see. Not recently, but in San Francisco. ”

The San Francisco word revealed strong curiosity. Min Wangi also had an interesting reaction, saying, The only time I spent there was because there were many hidden parts of the winter's journey.

Yeon-cheol leans in.

“Who was that? ”

“An old Chinese Navy general……. When people envy you, they say you're splitting up and down. So the powerful have to eat lavishly and waste lavishly? It's important that you feel a gap that you can't overcome with effort so that eventually it's important to make you resign...... and then you'll be dependent on me. It's not quite right, but it's sort of like this. ”

“Huh……. ”

While listening to the recall of General Sierra Roo, the young manager looked very funny at the end of his life.

“It's also a good idea. I guess I'll be able to talk to you when I see you. ”

“He's probably dead. ”

“Oops.”

Min-wan kicks his tongue, then nods.

“It's an awkward expression, but it's mostly true. Especially if you're ready to accept them. It is beneficial to use the faith that has been created. ”

“Faith?”

“You saw it on the way here. People who are passionate. That's how faith is born. ”

“ ……. ”

“I told you before. Politics and religion are fundamental. In their hearts, Commander, in the middle of winter, they are no longer who they are. Something that is superior, that is beyond human limits. ”

“Actually, it's not. ”

“They know that with their heads. But dominating people is sentimental. There are very few exceptions to this. Genius, effort, mental deformity. ”

The professor of the past was as cynical as he had always been on the strong side.

“Once you start to believe, your thoughts follow your beliefs. The bias continues to work unless you go through a mess……. Fortunately, there is only one belief in this city today. There is no distinction between pay and progress in the face of this belief. So you just have to show them what they believe. That alone is going to earn my respect. ”

Winter made a difficult smile instead of an answer. Min-wan who saw this also looks like him.

“You're still the little commander. ”

“Maybe because I'm still young. ”

“You're joking too much. ”

Jang-chul sighed.

“Phew. Director Min is really nice, except for this. ”

You don't even realize that you look a little bit like yourself. You can't just be positive or skeptical.

“Then it really became a city. ”

Winter brings out the expression mixed with Min-wan's words. It's the same here. The landscape outside the window was literally a military base. Although it is often the same in the beginning as a typical city, including residences and shoppers, secondary schools and university campuses.

The compartment suggests that refugees no longer live on sites that were military facilities before the plague. They are more clearly differentiated.

‘The refugees were always temporary. Considering the future, this is it. ’

At the time of camp, Port Roberts was a training facility that accommodated the size of the regiment.

I was proud of him.

“I really wanted to show you that. The commander made me this big. Everyone's doing well. The population is so large these days that it can be very troubling. ”

“More population? ”

“I've sent a lot of people from other accommodations. I wonder if he's trying to immerse the Asian world here.... A divorced family? Well, it's weird to say, but I also met family members and relatives who had been separated. ”

“There must have been quite a few of them, right? ”

“Yes, well. I was so confused when I evacuated people from Korea. Some of the people who have lived on boats have. ”

“Ah, the marine refugees. ”

Winter was convincing. With the United States restoring the west coast, it was time for the shipmates to come ashore. Rather than setting up a camp for them separately, it is a policy to accommodate existing facilities.

“Again, you must have had a hard time. ”

At the end of winter, he was embarrassed.

“I'm no one else, and I don't want to hear that from the commander.... ”

Min-won fixes his glasses.

“Newcomers. Just spread them out. People change from stage to stage. ”

“ ……. ”

Again, there was someone who said the same thing, but Winter did not mention it. Instead, I check that I've been bothered before. Pointing to the cross far out the window.

“That compartment, is that the circulating gospel church? ”

“Huh. How did you know? ”

“The church is in the center and strangely isolated. ”

As winter said, the compartment was limited to one entrance, and the road was blocked by barbed wire fences and checkpoints.

Other stations, of course, use barbed wire fences to isolate the area and control access to the checkpoints. Reasons to quarantine and quarantine at similar times. However, the entrances were varied, and there were differences in the size of the zones.

“I'm surprised they haven't been in trouble so far. ”

Winter remembers the wonders of the Vast Esther who still stood by her. About the miracle of Pastor Park Tae-sun as she talked about it. However, I heard that the external activity has been reduced extremely, and there is no level at all.

There may be no more bizarre signs than the Cultists avoiding the mission, but that's not a problem at all.

‘If there was anything more, it would have been passed on to me. ’

Min Wangi narrowed his eyes. Unlike before, he was wearing glasses with a healthy egg, but his vision was still difficult to see the same distance as winter.

“I heard that the military commission has also requested a municipality for religious reasons. There are certain kinds of cultivators who want isolation themselves. Especially when unflattering practices are settled…… Typically, sexual payments to a monarch or something like that make you more wary of others' eyes. ”

It was a reasonable observation, but there are gaps to winter concerns.

‘Sooner or later anyway.... ’

Whatever lies within the Cultists' territory will be able to gain a clearer understanding of General Laplin's work and authority.

“Well, I didn't come here to tell you this, actually. ”

Min Wangi said.

“The Alliance has prepared a welcome ceremony. If you have a moment, why don't you attend? ”

At this time, a sound comes from somewhere. The squadrons are probably in the middle of the right year. Everywhere I went, I was welcomed, but there were still people left behind.

“If it's a welcome ceremony... Well, adoption people care. ”

Jang Cheol slowly understood the words of winter.

“Uh, did they do that on the base? ”

“It's not like that, but there's no one here to greet you. There are linguistic issues. ”

“Aha.”

“Is there a Mr. Fleumes in the civic district? ”

“So far... ”

The first time I met her in Paso Robles, Amalia Flemen was in charge of children's affairs in public schools and asked winter for homeless nationals. They are altruistic and already have a relationship, so they will be a good match for the lonely soldiers.

Despite the nominal repatriation, it appears that the residents of the civic area have not already left the base. Engagement has been progressive in many cities.

“Even if it's inconvenient, I want you to find out. If you haven't left yet, tell him I want him to attend our welcoming ceremony. ”

“Yes! I'll be right there. ”

He gladly accepted the instructions of winter.
