The Returner

1. Ah, I was the old man (5)

People.

It was a person.

Choi Jung-hoon was captivated by the endless human crowd that filled his eyes.

I was told there were five million of them.

Five million horses. That's a normal number.

There are five million people left in a city called Pyongyang.

“What is all this……. ”

We already knew there were five million people approaching Pyongyang. We don't know exactly whether it was the genocide Ri Jincheol described or to use them as human shields.

However, Choi Jung-hoon could clearly know one thing now.

“What is this? ”

The crowd in front of him seemed abnormal.

People who just stood there with their eyes broken, like they were mesmerized.

It looks like a zombie with its soul sucked out.

If anything differs from the zombies in the movie, it doesn't reveal aggression against them.

Rrrrgh.

Choi Jung-hoon gritted his teeth.

Five million.

This is what five million people look like.

I lost even the best lesson in the whole world in that chaotic situation. How am I supposed to interpret this situation?

“I don't think Izzie's here at all. ”

My fist trembles.

The people of North Korea don't feel particularly like their own people or their own people. Even if the same thing happened in any other country, and not in North Korean residents, Choi Jung-hoon would have been equally angry.

This is the least disrespectful thing about humans.

“No madman could have done this! ”

Choi Jung-hoon shouted, and the military doctor who was inspecting people in front of him turned around and said.

“I don't think it's the drugs. ”

“Then?”

“I don't know how I got people here.... ”

You hear a loud noise.

However, the sound seemed strangely distant to Choi Jeong-hoon.

What do you think of people? ’

Even though the heads of countries were gathered in one place, they did not know what to do with this nonsense. In a way, it is like proving incompetence, but it is even weirder for everyone who has 5 million people to lose Izzie to stand like a plant and make immediate decisions.

The situation was transmitted through the camera, but Christopher was also unable to give an appropriate answer.

- What the fuck?

When I saw photos taken with satellite photographs or reconnaissance planes, I felt that people didn't look strange, but I never imagined that it would look like this.

Christopher hesitated because he didn't know what to do about it.

At that moment, Jung-hoon moved.

“Bypass.”

- Mr. Choi?

“If you don't move, you don't have to deal with it. Let's leave it alone. ”

―... That's a theory.

Choi Jung-hoon quickly regained his cool.

I don't know why they did what they did, but I'm sure they're on the side of the brain. If we want to restore them, we don't have to spend time here, but we have to hit the Viceroy as soon as possible.

“He's unconscious, so he's holding out. He's almost exhausted. ”

The medic nods.

“Some people have necrosis in their limbs. If you leave them alone for one more day, they will grow exponentially. ”

“Did you hear that?”

The foreign delegates nodded in Jung-hoon's words. The Russian delegation kind of tilted his head, but he skipped.

“Bypass, not humanitarian, but for efficiency. because if you move forward sweeping through this many people, you're wasting a lot of time. You know what I'm saying? ”

“Okay.”

When the direction was set, the plan was quick. At that moment, the bypass was forged, and they began to move sequentially from the U.S. Army Special Forces forward.

“Have the American powers arrived? ”

“Successful descent to point B1. You will be joining us soon. Relationships with different joining points are taking some time. ”

“I understand.”

Choi Jung-hoon hardened his face and urged them.

It's not a relaxing situation to be dragging time like this. I know you're embarrassed, but it was time to focus on your mission.

“Let's go.”

“Yes.”

Choi Jung-hoon turned around and looked back.

Seeing so many silent people buried in the darkness, I can bite my lips.

What the hell is going on here? ’

I thought Ri Jin-chul and Park Yong-hui's arguments were too unrealistic, but the situation here was not necessarily so. It's not uncommon for those who do this to put a barn on this world.

‘For what? ’

However, Jung-hoon couldn't understand what they were after. What can they gain by bringing down the magic system in this world?

“I don't know.”

It was completely unknown at the moment.

But you will soon find out.

Choi Jeong-hoon marched on a large bypass of Pyongyang. The pace of march is not so fast because you don't know what's in front of you, but you are steadily heading towards the Palace of the Sun of the Beast Mountain.

‘Strange.’

Choi Jung-hoon suddenly felt an ominous premonition.

‘There's not much resistance. ’

I heard you can't see the perimeter troops. However, it was clear that no surveillance force could be seen for that many.

Choi Jung-hoon frowned.

What's going on? ’

Pyongyang was already a city of death. I felt no trace of them alive. It would be just like this if there was a city where everyone had disappeared because of the epidemic that came out of the movies.

The only difference is that those who would have died there are still alive, filling the square with consciousness. After a few more days, none of them would have survived.

I rushed into it, but the execution date of the operation was too late.

“I see it over there. ”

Choi Jung-hoon nodded.

The Palace of the Sun in Beast Mountain.

Something was going on down there. According to Lee Hyuk, either the perimeter is full or the defenses inside are not solid.

‘It doesn't matter if you're strong. ’

With the exception of the troops marching into the Pyongyang now, it was a force that could destroy a kingdom as powerful as the one standing here in a flash.

Even if the North Koreans were fully prepared, they could not stop this much power.

‘Then why are you so nervous? ’

The statues of Kim Il and the wealthy Kim Jong Il in front of the Palace of the Sun were the only lights on.

The sight felt like a bitch.

“Stand by.”

He raised his hand from the U.S. side of command with a short voice.

“The entrance is narrow. You cannot enter at the same time. We're going to break through the front, but we need to decide who's coming after us. ”

A subtle silence comes and goes.

Suspicion of national honor, desire for survival, and rationality.

For a short time, the elite who cleared the situation began to express their opinions.

“Why don't you take another prime here and herd it in the back? ”

“The command system is about to collapse. ”

“Well, what if we let in a lot of people? ”

“If something unexpected happens, it's hard to deal with when there are so many. ”

Seeing that many countries gathered, there were no rational opinions.

‘Damn it.'

Choi Jung-hoon sighed in a stuffy situation.

The battle should have already been fought, and the invasion of the Palace of the Sun at the Beast Mountains should have been a means of achieving the reward or final target after victory.

However, seeing that there was no battle in the Pyongyang, this is what happened.

“Why don't NDF lead the way? Perhaps there is no place for power as a single organization to surpass the NDF? ”

The United States has expressed their opinions to Choe Jung-hoon.

“Well……. ”

Choi Jung-hoon made an impression.

The United States spoke with reasonable intent. As long as they've already decided to take the lead, there can be no greater sacrifice for those who will follow.

‘Still, I don't like it. ’

Before departing, what Gwak Minho said represented his opinion. If there was a sacrifice, it would be a sacrifice, but I didn't want to stand in front of it and play the role of foreign bullet catcher.

Even if it's a selfish idea.

“We……. ”

“We'll take the lead. ”

At that moment, there were those who left Jung-hoon's words behind. Choi Jung-hoon glanced back.

Oh!

Japanese personnel were on the move.

They have to do something to improve their performance. You can't get a satellite if you just follow them in the name of a peacekeeper.

“Clearly a minority. And the Japanese are part of the SDF, so that's the right thing to do. In fact, we're not so different from civilian organizations, so this is a bit of a burden. ”

Choi Jung-hoon naturally fell behind.

“Then we'll take it from there. ”

As Japan stepped forward, China followed. When I go back to the authorities, if it is said that I was just watching Japan do its job, it will be more than one or two people who will lose their heads.

And the Russian delegation…….

“Wha?”

“Hey, somebody get a Russian interpreter. ”

“Yes.”

Choi Jeong-hoon who took last place at the end of these statues had to work hard to endure the bursting laughter.

“Last?”

Seo Ah-young said as if she was unhappy, but the rest of the crew was having fun.

“Khh, as expected, Deputy Director. ”

“Man Choi Jeong-hoon! ”

Choi Jung-hoon said with a stiff face.

“You can call me a coward, everyone. It's true. Laugh. ”

“Cowards live a long time! ”

Unfortunately, there was no alliance in the NDF that would put the country at risk for its honor. This was the part where I felt the agony of Song Jing Ju who represented the country and had to send them.

“If you get killed, your pension won't come out right. You stay alive like a cockroach, and you eat well until you paint the walls. You know what I'm saying? ”

“Of course.”

“Now, be quiet. We're about to enter. Nominally, if you attack from the rear, it's genocide. We protect the rear, so be careful with the rear. It's not a joke, and it could be. ”

“Yes.”

Choi Jung-hoon looked at the Palace of the Sun of the Beast Mountain with an unsettled eye, even though he spoke.

What happens if all these people get in there and get blown up? ’

Choi Jung-hoon started running forward, feeling creepy.
