The Returner

2. Fix it if you don't! (1)

“There are no windows in the building! Isn't this a violation of the construction laws? ”

It was Lee Hyuk who rewrote the Korean construction law.

“Why?”

Lee Ye-won asked, and Lee Hyuk pointed to his ear.

“Can't you hear something out there? ”

“I don't know. ”

“Never mind. What can I say to you? ”

“Yes. If you don't have anything to say, just wait. I'll see you in a bit. ”

“… Can we talk? ”

“Yes. No. ”

Lee Ye-won rushed to the clothing store, sighing deeply and circling around.

“Here.”

“Yes, sir. ”

“Is there a window here? where you can see the outside. ”

“Window……. You can see it on the bridge to the annex. ”

“The annex?”

“That way.”

Following the attendant's guidance, Lee Hyuk entered the bridge leading to the annex and sighed as he looked at the bridge made of glass.

“There is no window in the building, and the bridge is front-facing glass, which one designed it? ”

The modern building was completely incomprehensible.

Lee Hyuk's eyes were looking around, and a blue gate came into his eyes from afar.

“Oh?”

Yippee!

At the same time, the broadcast began.

― Attention, customers in the building. Gates are now appearing on the front of the department store. This area has been declared a Class B disaster area, so please do not panic and follow the shopkeeper's instructions to evacuate calmly. Remind me again

“Oh?”

Lee Hyuk was surprised and looked at the speakers.

“Evacuate?”

Even after the earthquake, the building collapsed, they wouldn't let people out of the department store.

I thought they were the only ones running away in a hurry, but they told the guests to evacuate.

“The boss must be crazy. ”

Lee Hyuk chuckled.

But wait a minute. Immediately, Lee Hyuk, who was pushed through the window, became annoyed by the crowd.

“Ow! Stop pushing! ”

“Didn't you hear me say to evacuate? Why are you blocking the way! ”

“Get out of the way! ”

“Hnng!”

Lee Hyuk circled around and began to drive the crowd back. I didn't see my mom and Yaewon.

“Where the hell are you? ”

I barely got through the bridge and walked into the building, and I saw two people at the end.

“Mom, what are you doing? Evacuate.”

“What's the rush? If we wait and get out of people, we'll go. ”

“Ah……. ”

It was a scene where we could see where the nature of Lee Hyuk came from.

“Monsters are coming! ”

“What's the point of having a good son? You should at least look at Doug. ”

You're right...

Lee Hyuk shakes his head and opens the gate.

“Come on, go. I'm on my way home. ”

“Oh? What is this? ”

Oh, you've never seen a gate.

Lee Hyuk smiled and entered the gate holding the hands of his mother and Yaewon.

Lee Hyuk who brought them home safely said.

“Then I'll go check it out just in case. ”

“You?”

“Yes, why? ”

“It's weird that you volunteer to work. Did you have a hard time at the department store? ”

…… Mother, I'm crazy. Don't look at me like I'm crazy.

“No, I'm afraid people will get hurt. ”

“It's nice that my son is talking like a person, but my mom is a little nervous. When this is over, you can rest at home. ”

“... Yes. ”

I had no choice but to reflect on how my mother said that because of how she acted. Lee Hyuk shook his head and went inside the gate.

“Hmm……. ”

It was after everyone had already evacuated the department store.

“You didn't put out the fire? ”

“Sir!"

Just in case, the guard who was looking inside the department store found Lee Hyuk and jumped in.

“You need to evacuate. ”

However, he did not forget to look into Lee Hyuk's hands and pockets, so he was a hard-working person.

I didn't steal it!

Even when the three winds collapsed, it was Korean to pick up clothes, so in this case, it could not be said that there was no one hiding.

“Yes, I'm coming out now. Is the first floor open? ”

“The ground is closed. You have to go underground. If you go to the basement, you'll find a way out. After a while, you should go to the bunker. ”

“Really? What about the car? ”

“You cannot leave the vehicle now. ”

“Oh.”

It was well-organized. Life is more important than cars. Of course, some people don't.

Now, if those cars full to the fifth floor of the basement are trying to get out of here, the gates will open before they can evacuate properly.

“Please open the door on the first floor. ”

“Sir, we have a situation under control. ”

“Oh, I know. I know... ”

Lee Hyuk smiled.

“I'm a man of abilities. I have to go to work.”

“What's the situation?”

“Coming soon. ”

Captain Seok-hwan frowns as he looks at the fiery gate in front of him.

“How long has it been since the gate was discovered? ”

“Gate conversion speeds have been so fast these days that you can't even compare them after a few months. ”

“I don't know if monsters will pop out as soon as they open the gate. ”

If you do, it'll be chaos.

Society is being maintained now because there is time to prepare for the gate. Once a gate is established, it can be encamped and evacuated so that it can be blocked with minimal damage. However, if the gate is opened immediately, such a process is no longer possible.

Working inside the building, the gate opens at the front gate, and monsters pop out right away?

Then that's it. You cannot run, you cannot fight. We must pray that those who are far away will come as quickly as possible.

“What's the world coming to...? ”

Applause deeply sighed. But you can think about this later. Right now, we have to solve what's right in front of us.

“Ready?”

“It's pretty much over. ”

“What the fuck, man! You want to tell me you're okay with risking your life? Make sure no one's evacuated yet! ”

“Yes, sorry. ”

“And... huh? What's that?”

The door to the first floor of the department store building opened right next to the roof of the three-story building where Captain Su-hwan is in command, and a young man in training uniform crawled out.

“Ha……. ”

The young man comes out and takes a deep breath, then takes out a cigarette and bites into his mouth.

“I, I……. ”

His face distorted.

“I told you to check, right? ”

“…… I've issued a closure order. ”

“You might want to do the right thing before you shut your head down. ”

“I'll do my best.”

The soldiers guarding the ground run forward, surrounding the young man, pointing towards the building. It seemed like they were telling us to evacuate to the subway because it was dangerous here.

“But the kids are fast. Have they lost their minds lately? What are you doing out here when the monsters are coming? Anyway, I'm out of my mind. ”

But then something strange happened.

The soldier and the young man mutter, and the soldiers turn and point to the applause with their hands.

“…… Huh? ”

Are they crazy?

What if I teach the civilian command?

“What's wrong with them? ”

“I see. ”

At that moment, the young man nods and approaches the building with applause.

“Huh?"

When I saw the young man enter the first floor, clapping his face.

“What's going on? What the hell is going on? ”

However, the idea that I would be stopped on the first floor if I was sober ended with the hope of applause.

Queek.

The rooftop door opens, and the young man comes out with a fluttering face and waves to applause.

“Hello."

Applause now turned to the deputy minister with a resignation.

“Can I hear what's going on? Huh?”

“I wonder what the situation is.... ”

A madman might be able to do something crazy, but how did he get up here without all his men going crazy?

“Who are you?”

When the deputy asks, the young man looks around and says,

“KSF isn't here yet? ”

“KSF?”

Oh, my God!

The deputy nods as if he understood the situation just now. It seemed that a talented person who had been a security guard had joined the scene while shopping.

“Are you KSF? ”

“Yes.”

“This bastard……. ”

The deputy sharpened his teeth.

No matter how powerful you are, this is your command post.

No matter how powerful people become KSF, they are recognized for their rank as a sergeant, but they cannot dare to enter the command post at their own pace.

“Who are you? Who's your boss, asshole? ”

“… It doesn't matter? ”

“What? It doesn't matter? Where are you from? ”

“NDF, to be precise. ”

“NDF guests? ”

What's that supposed to mean?

An NDF is an NDF, and an NDF is a guest.

Then, applause grabbed the deputy's shoulder tightly.

“Hey……. ”

“Yes?”

“Ask him what his name is. ”

“Your name? ”

“Go ahead and ask. It's just that I have a problem right now. ”

I looked at the applause as if I didn't know what the deputy was talking about. Then I asked the young man.

“What's your name? ”

“It's Lee Hyuk.”

“Lee Ji-hyuk?”

“Yes.”

“ ……. ”

I mean, if it's Lee Hyuk... I mean...

“Oh, um, 'that’ Lee Hyuk? ”

“It's true that I'm Lee Hyuk. ”

The hand of applause begins to tremble. There is only one Lee Hyuk from the NDF he knows.

Never engage the entire defence force. A Class 1 risk person who is reported directly to an Acquisition Complaint upon discovery.

What's he doing here? ’

This was supposed to go all the way to NDF?

Of course, I would need the support of the talents, but it was like Pocrane came to clean up the flowerpot by himself about level 4 gate.

“Are you really Lee Ji-hyuk? ”

“I don't know if I'm real or fake, but I'm Lee Hyuk. But the KSF kids aren't here yet? ”

“I'm on my way. ”

“Huh? The Defender's already camped out, but he hasn't arrived yet? Shouldn't we do that? ”

“…… It's common. ”

“Why is that common? If they move, we'll be able to move faster. What's taking them so long to get here naked without their gear? ”

“I mean it! ”

Applause burst into tears.

“These bastards aren't the only ones who can finish the mission without sacrifice if we hurry. But every time I go out there looking like this, there are more useless sacrifices. Kids like herds are dying for nothing. ”

Lee Hyuk's face hardened.

“Is that so?"

“Yes. What do I do with this? I'm complaining at the defense level, but it's not going to fix it. ”

“You can't fix it? ”

Lee Hyuk puffed up his cheeks and pulled out his phone.

“If you don't fix it, you can fix it! ”
