The Returner
20 bucks. The price for disturbing my peace is enormous. -2
“What are you talking about? ”
“Department store! It's underground! It's underground!”
Seo Ah-young's head overwhelmed her, not accepting Choi Jung-hoon's report immediately.
A department store?
Let's say that in a department store.
But underground?
Why are the gates opened underground?
“The gate was never opened in the basement. ”
“I did. But it's open now. ”
“There is no such case. ”
“Sir!"
Choi Jung-hoon resolutely cut off Seo Ah-young's words.
“You can study the case later. What's important now is that level two gates are being opened, and if they are, you have to undergo a department store. Do you have any idea what's going to happen if you don't move now? ”
Seo Ah-young regained her mind at the same time as Choi Jung-hoon.
Department stores are crowded.
There will be commercials around department stores as well, so the population density will be very high.
That's where the gate opens?
“Activity?”
“I sent a measuring device through the nearest branch, but it hasn't arrived yet. Visually confirmed activity is at least 90%. ”
“90% · · · · · · · · · ·. ”
Seo Ah-young groaned.
Ninety percent.
One thing alone doesn't tell me anything.
If you have a gate that takes three days to transition from 90 to 100, you have a gate that changes in just an hour.
“First, send in a response team. Have you located any summoned talents nearby? ”
“I'm working on it. We've got about 10 of them. ”
Choi Jung-hoon's phone kept flashing. At this moment, what he ordered is still being reported.
“Call everyone and get our people in there now. I'm going to ask the Defense Department to arrange for a vehicle or helicopter to take us out. ”
“Yes.”
“Let's hurry! It's going to be a real disaster if we're late. ”
Seeing Jung-hoon running out without answering, Seo Ah Young picked up her phone and dialed the Defense Agency hotline number.
‘Please.'
“Da, I need sugar. ”
Lee Hyuk felt an intense need for sugar, looking at his trembling hands.
However, I did not see any sign of coming out of Jamaica at any point since I ordered the coffee.
“Come on, sugar! ”
“Oh, it's embarrassing. Quiet down. ”
“Yes, son. Others see it ”
Mother, my son is dying.
Is your gaze that important to you?
Whoo-hoo!
At that time, the vibrating bell rang and Lee Hyuk turned white.
I was about to jump over the counter with a vibrating bell, but my mother held his hand and glared at Lee Ye-won.
“Hurry up and go. ”
“Me?”
“Then why don't you tell him to go back and forth? Isn't that basic?”
Seeing Lee Ye-won, who was in a deep sea, Lee Hyuk woke up on his feet.
Coffee. Who gives a shit?
“I · · · · · · · · · · ·. ”
However, she grabbed Lee Hyuk's vibrating bell like an eagle and gave it to Lee Ye-won.
“Bye.”
“Oh, shit. ”
Lee Ye-won stood up while grumbling and picked up the vibration bell and headed to the counter.
“Don't take me for a fool. Child habits are broken.”
“Take some coffee or something. ”
“Oh, did you see what he was saying? One of those things gets the upper hand. What are you going to do if Ye-won ridicules you? ”
Mother.
Sorry about that.
My mother's daughter doesn't even seem to see rain as a person for a long time.
It's all my fault.
At that moment, I heard Lee Ye-won's voice.
“Is this a yogurt smoothie? ”
“Sir, I'm sorry. Our staff's mistake. I'll make it up again in a minute. ”
“What are you doing! Really!”
Lee Hyuk narrowed his eyes.
“What's wrong with him? ”
“Is that so?"
Lee Ye-won grumbles and drops the tray.
Chocolate and hot fudge toast, honey butter bread and caramel macchiato.
“· · · · · · My case? ”
“No, they ordered a yogurt smoothie. They gave me a banana yogurt smoothie. ”
When a banana enters yogurt, does it explode?
I didn't even order it, but if you put fruit in it, it's good for your health, and it's good for each other.
“So?”
“I asked you to change it. I'd tell you to give me a refund if you're upset, but I'm in a good mood today. ”
“Ah · · I see. I'm fine.”
“What's okay? It's a basic service. ”
“Yes, son. You can't do that. ”
“Uh-huh.”
Lee Hyuk reached out to Honey Butter Bread thinking about the chemistry that occurs when bananas and yogurts meet.
Big deal.
“If you want it, order it. We don't have enough to eat. ”
“People who ask me to sit still when I tell them to come out. It's disgusting. ”
“ · · · · · ·. ”
Ah, the doom of destruction.
The nightmare of Beraf.
Your hometown of Honey Butter Bread has finally returned a hundred times over.
“I could eat some! ”
My mom and Yaewon didn't even pretend to hear it.
‘Ah, my sugar. ’
Lee Hyuk looked at the counter with his young eyes.
A world of civilization.
It's time for the machine to do everything for us.
Yeah, it won't take long. The sugar I desperately want is in his hands in a little while.
Yippee!
Suddenly, a siren sounds.
People woke up in a daze.
- It's an emergency. Citizens, please remain calm and proceed to your nearest shelter. This is a real situation. Remind me again Citizens, remain calm and proceed to your nearest shelter. This is a real situation.
“Let's go, son. ”
“Uh, where? ”
“It's a real situation. We need to get to the shelter. ”
“Yes?”
Lee Hyuk looked around with a blank face.
People were rushing out of the store with urgent faces.
Even with civil defense exercises, South Koreans were wandering around in a frenzy, wondering if there was a fire.
“Come on!"
“No, my smoothie. ”
“Is there a problem with the smoothie? Come quickly!”
Lee Hyuk was dragged away with his arms in his mother's hands.
“No, my smoothie. ”
“I'll buy you another one later. ”
“Well, then, I'll take what I've been eating! ”
“Aren't you coming soon? ”
Lee Hyuk swallowed tears looking at the drink and bread on the table.
“This is an emergency. I'm urgent.”
“What are you talking about? ”
Lee Ye-won's reaction was even sadder.
Even before the helicopter landed on the ground, Seo Ah-young jumped to the ground.
Choi Jung-hoon hardened his face, but it was not a situation to show off. Choi Jung-hoon, who jumped behind me, was busy chasing after Seo Ah Young.
“Evacuate?”
“We've ordered evacuation to the shelter. Police forces are now confirming and controlling the scene. ”
“Did you measure it? ”
“Not yet.”
“What about the people who called? ”
“Three have arrived and the rest are on their way. Other than that, we should be able to get there in time. ”
“Since the Defence Office is arriving soon, please build a barricade first. Secure the barricades, set up a perimeter, and then evacuate from the rear. ”
“Yes.”
Seo Ah-young, who was jumping down the stairs, yelled with a frustrated face because he didn't have time to catch the elevator.
“No, why didn't they discover the gate so that it could be like this! ”
“It appears to have appeared in an unused warehouse. ”
“Does it make sense that you don't use a warehouse? This is the docks, or the container yard! Why here? ”
Choi Jeong-hoon tasted it.
It was an expression that did not make sense, but it was also understandable.
Why, of all the points, did this happen here, and the frustration was the same with Jung-hoon.
“How much · · · · · · · ·. ”
Level Two Gates were not an ordinary issue.
The problem was that the gate expression area was underground, and there was a 10-story department store building above the basement.
A spectacular landscape will fall in the middle of Seoul if only a few columns are broken while trying to use heavy weapons.
Beware of heavy weapons does not guarantee that the monsters will leave the pillars.
‘It's the worst.'
Choi Jung-hoon shakes his head.
No matter what the circumstances, you must do what you can first.
Choi Jung-hoon picked up the radio as he went down the stairs.
“Tell them to search the civilians. Two, three times. Check all nearby buildings that may be affected by the destruction of department stores as well as department stores. ”
Even after ordering like this, civilians are always found somewhere.
But it shouldn't happen this time.
The moment I got off the radio thinking like that, I heard a horrible sound on the radio with a sharp beep.
Beep, beep!
- Gate! Gate opening! Monster Appears!
Choi Jung-hoon, who was leaping down the stairs, unwittingly stops and stares at the radio.
“Damn it.”
Worst case scenario imaginable.
