The Returner

2. You just go back, please! (1)

“A million. Even when the largest army in Beraf's history was assembled, there were only over a million. You know that, right? ”

“No.”

Lee Hyuk corrected her words.

“There were over two million troops at the end of the day who said they'd stop me at Derra Latrell. ”

“... You must be honored. ”

“Hehe, well, take that. ”

It's not a compliment, man!

“And you want me to stop all those zombies by myself? A million zombies would be devastating for Beraf. How am I supposed to do that by myself? ”

“So……. ”

Lee Hyuk's head became stiff.

“You can't?”

“ ……. ”

What's the word behind "I can't do it"?

Are they that unwilling, or are they no longer useful?

Either way, it was clear that it wasn't such a nice thing to say to Roabel.

I'm not saying I can't. ”

“Right?"

Lee Hyuk's face brightened again.

Seeing that disgusting expression change makes me feel uncomfortable.

“I'm not saying I can't, but it's practically impossible. ”

“No, you can. ”

Yeah? Yeah.

What's that supposed to mean?

“You can. I don't know about the others, but you're an Elf blessed by Bezgoth's madness. No god in his right mind would do such a thing. How much I wish you would. ”

“Are you insulting him?! ”

“What are you going to do? ”

“Ugh!”

“Why don't you call him and say something? Oh, isn't this Beraf? What do I do?”

“ ……. ”

Roavelle clenches her fist and trembles.

I don't want to do it as a priest, but I keep thinking I want to smash that loathsome human's mouth into a scepter.

Calmness, calmness....

“Why? He's not coming? You can't even cross the dimension of the great Bezgoth. ”

“Poetry, God is almighty. ”

“How powerful would you be if you couldn't handle me and told the kids to beat him up? You're a great man. ”

Lee Hyuk stopped teasing her until she was about to bubble into her mouth.

I'm a crazy Elf, but I don't know what will happen if I play with more.

Bad guy, bad guy, bad guy... Not all of them are scary, but frankly, crazy bitch is scary.

A blood foot stands in Roavel's eyes.

“So what do I do? ”

“Cleanse one million people. ”

“Yes! Yes! ”

Roabelle is making a lot of noise! I yelled.

“I'm going to get rid of that shit and go home. or my insides explode first. ”

“That's a good idea. ”

It's a very good mind. This will give us another good slave to feed on.

Lee Hyuk smiled.

“What the hell are you going to do? ”

Christopher McClaren lays a hand on his forehead, looking at the commander of the 10th Army who is building a bloodbath in front of him.

I felt like I could sell my soul to the devil if I could just go home and have a cold beer.

But even the Devil never offered to buy his soul a contract.

“It's a people. ”

“Once this defense line is breached, it will be a true nation. because that's what's going to happen to everyone. Don't you have the right to be sick or whatever the hell that is? ”

“So we're just gonna kill them all? ”

“I can't help it. ”

“Yeah, well, good. I don't think you're wrong about that. If it had been that decisive, things wouldn't have come this far. ”

Christopher smoked cigars in front of a United States commander.

The position itself could not reach the commander, but the real power and experience was possible because the commander was at a level he was not able to reach.

I wonder if I'll ever get an army chief from MacLaren, Commander.

“But isn't it wrong to complain now? I don't have a choice. If you want to take that into account, why don't you take it up with him up there? ”

“Will they allow you to do that? ”

“So what are we going to do? ”

“Precautions, then report. ”

Christopher sighs deeply.

“Do you think you can get out of here after ten days of rest? ”

“I'm not kidding. You know, there's no other way. ”

“Of course I do. ”

“History will give you an assessment. You want to make history by turning your country into a zombie den after all this time? ”

‘That's a relief. ’

It was fortunate to be recorded in reverse. That would mean the United States has existed since then.

Unfortunately, once this defense line is breached, the United States will no longer be able to survive.

Once North America becomes the land of the dead, it is certain.

“Wait a little longer. ”

“Director!"

“I knew it!”

As Christopher's voice starts to rise, the commander shuts up.

Against this man who had all the decision-making power, there was no way to achieve good results.

“What are you waiting for? Let's wait. Do you know how long I've been asking you to wait? The defense line keeps pushing back. If you push it a little bit further, the gap will be too wide and you won't be able to hold the line. You don't have to explain what happens after that. ”

“I know, I know very well. So let's wait. The line hasn't collapsed yet. It's too late to go into extinction after the line collapses! ”

“Then the damage will be irreparable. ”

“Of course.”

I know.

I'm not doing this because I don't know.

But you can't choose the wrong lane for the reasons that things might get worse in the future!

Moreover, the lives of the people are at stake. It's not one or two!

Christopher gripped it.

“Damn it! When are they coming, you bastards! ”

“This guy, he's cursing again. ”

You hear a very welcome and disgusting voice behind your back.

A voice that is so welcoming, so loathsome, so pleasant that it wants to break your waist with a cut hug?

“It's an insult when you're free, anyway. Is that why you can trust people to do your job? ”

Oh, yeah?

Well, that's a little weird.

I just spoke English. How do you understand?

No, before that... Do I understand what he's saying?

Are you sure Lee Hyuk is speaking English?

“Why?”

“ ……. ”

“What?"

Christopher shakes his head.

“No, I didn't know you could speak English that well in such a short time. You're amazing.”

“Oh, that? ”

Lee Hyuk scratched his head.

“Let's move on.”

“Yes?”

“Well, it doesn't really matter. ”

“If you say so.... ”

How do I say this?

If you say that you have not been able to remember the existence of translation magic for more than three months, what will you see people as?

‘I lived too fast. ’

Once I didn't like it, I smashed it, and after a thousand years of living with the pose, "If you want to talk to me, you have to learn my words," people became inflexible.

“We have to live like people now. ”

“Herd.”

“Yes?”

Lee Hyuk tilted his head because of Jung-hoon's voice coming from behind his back.

“No, I'm not.”

Choi Jung-hoon neatly turned away from Lee Hyuk's questionable young gaze.

“Have you come up with a solution? ”

Christopher, who judged that it wasn't time to listen to Lee Hyuk's meeting, immediately got to the point.

“Of course.”

Lee Hyuk's belly runs forward.

I didn't want to look weird, but Christopher was an adult who knew how to hide his mind.

“Who are you? ”

First of all, it is best not to talk to Lee Hyuk.

“Here.”

Looking at the place where Lee Hyuk pointed, there was a dazzling beauty, dressed in a sacred robe.

Above all, the long ears protruding from the left and right side of the castle overhead are impressive…….

“Elves?”

“Oh, I know. ”

“An Elf existed... ”

Christopher looked at Roavelle with a strange glance.

“Well, that's not the point. ”

It may take some time for others, but Christopher quickly regained his senses.

Now was not the time to be touched by this. The important thing was to deal with the zombies trying to cross the perimeter right now.

“Can you turn those zombies back into people? ”

“I can only see it with my own eyes. ”

“We don't have time. Let's get going.”

At Christopher's word, the group follows him without a word.

If you're not too far from the front line, you can see the line of barricades and the army behind it just loading up in a military jeep.

“That's not efficient.”

At Lee Hyuk's words, Christopher shakes his head.

“I didn't just build a high, sturdy barricade for a moment. I tried many different ways, but it was hard to defeat without hurting. No matter how high it got, it was over. Zombies crawl up places Humans can't. So I've hit the right barricade, and if it's going to collapse, I've repeatedly yanked the wire back.

“Can't we just capture them and lock them up? ”

“It would be nice to have such an accommodation. I'm still researching some of them... ”

Roavelle shakes her head as she listens to them.

“I can't go on like this. ”

“… Is that a no? ”

“Purification itself is not difficult. It's very easy to be hit by a magical creature, not by a demon. But the problem is... they only get bitten and infected as soon as they're cleansed. ”

“Ah……. ”

It was an unexpected problem.

As it turns out, if you stick together, even healing will only throw a healthy person in the middle of hundreds of thousands of zombies.

“We need to split them up into hundreds of units. And then we have to clean it up and stabilize it. ”

“Hmm……. ”

Christopher expressed his colors.

“Easy for you to say, but they're zombies. How are we supposed to get those zombies out of there? ”

“It's capture, not control. And that's the way it is. You have an expert. ”

“Expert?”

Christopher opened his eyes as Roabel looked at Lee Hyuk.

“Oh, by the way... You handle monsters, don't you? ”

“… that's a completely different field. It's no different than saying to a shepherd," You're a shepherd. Train a lion. "And he's very casual. ”

“Still, isn't it better than not dealing with it? ”

“Mister, you're from college, right? You're sitting here because you're an elite in the United States, right? Then why don't you understand what I'm saying? I had nothing to do with it!”

“What should I start with? ”

“You got something in your ear! Mr. Park! ”

“Lee Ji-hyuk will take care of it! Prepare!”

... Are you really deaf?

Choi Jung-hoon approached Lee Hyuk's ear, wondering how to pierce his ears, and whispered.

“Cheer up.”

... Should I just go home?

I can't believe I have to work with these things.

I miss verav, verav.

For the first time.

... Ahoy.
