The Returner

Busan, Nampo-dong.

“That's a relief.”

It was natural for the crabs to drop all over the country and evacuation orders to be issued.

“Oh?”

Lee Hyuk chuckled and approached the street store on the other side of the road and picked up the cake.

“There's plenty to eat. ”

“Lee Hyuk, that's a cripple. ”

“Oh, if I don't stop them, they'll all fly away... What do you think?" ”

“... It's a legal problem, but it seems morally permissible. ”

Choi Jung-hoon went into the bakery without saying, and put the cash out of his pocket in the bottom.

“Khh, you're a good boy. ”

This will solve the legal problem.

Choi Jung-hoon sighed, looking at Lee Yi Hyuk, who was at peace.

‘Though he's usually like that. ’

I wish I could be more nervous at times like this.

However, if Lee Hyuk looks nervous, Choi Jung-hoon's heart may stop. The fact that a guy like that is nervous is a sign that something really big has happened.

I think it would be better to just give it to him, but I think it would be better to give him a little tense... It was really complicated.

“Aren't you worried? ”

“Worrying doesn't change anything. ”

“… but it is. ”

I always feel it when I look at it, but it seemed that there was no fear of death in the first place. In the metaphor of Lee Ji-hyuk, the horror of death could be dull if the body disappeared and the mind went through the stages of instantaneous death several million times, suddenly emptying itself.

‘Even though it is a problem to be blunt in other people's deaths……. ’

Choi Jeong-hoon and others are nervous now, not because they think their lives are in danger. If that were the case, it would be better if it was still stuck in the Cheongwa National Guard. There was no reason to come all the way to the dangerous Busan and stop the missiles.

What they really feared was the loss of the lives of five million people in Busan by mistake.

It was a bit of a force majeure, and it wasn't exactly a mistake.

“Can you stop it? ”

“Half.”

“Well, half.... ”

“And there's no guarantee that they'll fall here in the first place. We could go to Hiroshima or Osaka. ”

“… I hope not Hiroshima. ”

“Why?”

“No, well……. ”

Even so, it's a bit severe to lose two nuclei in the same city. Japan committed many sins, but it was a harsh punishment.

“Better than falling into Korea. ”

“That's a very nationalistic statement. ”

“That's what people do. My neighborhood, my neighborhood, my country. That's a priority. ”

“No, it's like the development of a Korean democracy that's been broken down. ”

“But you don't think we should treat Korean and foreigners the same way. ”

“Well……. ”

It was a subtle story.

“I just watched and saw. Humans like to share things. People who were one country divided into two, and if you watch them fight each other like enemies and go to war, comedy is no different. Nothing has changed, and it's just a line drawn, and if you divide sides with it, you get enemies in an instant. ”

“Are you talking about North Korea? ”

“Huh? I didn't say that, but it fits. Not here, but historically, that's pretty common. ”

“… but it is. ”

“From my point of view, it's a local country, so I can't get much out of it. You drew that line, and now you're telling me to ignore it. If you were, you wouldn't have drawn the line in the first place. ”

“Hard.”

It was a rhetorical story, but it was also a trident. Choi Jeong-hoon knew that now was not the time to talk about this.

“So, where are we? ”

“Nuclear? We're passing through the West Sea. It appears that it will soon pass over the Korean Peninsula. ”

“This is a bit dilemma.... ”

Lee Hyuk seemed to be thinking and opened his mouth.

“Maybe you're just passing through, right? ”

“Yes, it is. ”

“But I'm sure they'll turn the attack this way if I blow them away. ”

“… of course. ”

“But if you let it go and suddenly change direction over your head, you have no answer. ”

Choi Jung-hoon was also confused.

As we wait, the risk increases and the chance of nukes dropping into the Korean Peninsula is increased with a preemptive strike. This was not his decision to make.

“Yes, report to your superiors……. ”

“What answer do you have when you report it? Those guys don't seem to have any answers. ”

“Hnng.”

Choi Jung-hoon sighed deeply.

“I've been fighting monsters and Demon Kings to death for the first time. I'd feel a lot better if the Demon King just barged in. ”

“It's also a matter of coming fast or flying slow and turning people upside down. ”

“Well, that's for sure. ”

It was better to get hit first, so I felt like I was just waiting.

“Let's touch it for now. We're not going to fall on our side anyway, so maybe we should wait and see if we have some human problems. ”

“Well, yes. ”

In fact, Jung-hoon, who thought it wouldn't be bad to just let go if he could be sure that there was no problem here, turned his head red.

‘I wasn't going to preach. ’

The more situations like this, the more human nature is revealed. Despite the blabbermouth of democracy, he was also unable to escape the ordinary human category.

“Is there a way? ”

“Well, there are a few… Would you like to choose? ”

The NDFs surrounding Lee Hyuk said a few things came out of his mouth.

“First of all... well, that's how you get rid of the Demon Lord's Serpent and dispose of the missile separately. The most obvious advantage is that it can be properly eliminated, but with some disadvantages. ”

“What is it?”

“While attacking the chariot horse, I felt a slight pinch... Boom! ”

Bang with that mouth! I felt my heart sinking to the sound.

“Well, maybe if we do this, we'll have to do it after the missile gets close... and everyone around us will die. No, well, I wouldn't say that. Everyone in Busan will die. Hehe.”

“Let's exclude that for now. ”

“But this is reasonable.... ”

“Exclude!”

Lee Hyuk tasted the adamant declaration of Choi Jeong-hoon.

“Then this is the next method, but it's a bit ambiguous.... ”

“Ambiguous?”

“Yes. I need a fighter and a pilot. I'll get in the back and see what I can do. ”

“Negative.”

“Why? I'm sure of it. ”

Choi Jung-hoon looked at Lee Hyuk with a fat face.

“I haven't seen Lee Hyuk once or twice, and now I get a quote. Lee Ji-hyuk, honestly, you're good at smashing people all over the country, but you're not good at targeting things with finesse. ”

“… are you a shaman? ”

“Nowadays, that's an insult. Anyway, no. ”

“You just have to detonate it from a distance anyway. ”

“Are you confident you'll come back to life? ”

“Mmmm... ”

Lee Hyuk began to ponder.

“I think it would be possible if I poured the teleport properly……. ”

“Lee Hyuk is not who he used to be. ”

Lee Hyuk nodded.

In the past, Lee Hyuk would have just exploded from above the West Sea in some way.

“I don't carry out any operations that may lose Lee Hyuk. You may be disqualified as a human being to say this, but Lee Hyuk's importance now outweighs five million citizens. I'm telling you, if you don't want to, just run to Seoul. This, I mean. ”

“… please stop. I don't want the hot eyes of a man. No immunity.”

Choi Jung-hoon sighed.

In the meantime, it is this human's greatest advantage not to lose his leisure, but what a real person...

Lee Hyuk shrugged his shoulders when Choi Jung-hoon couldn't speak.

“Then it's the last way... …. ”

Lee Hyuk scratched his cheek and said.

“I honestly didn't want to use this method, but I had no choice. So let's try to make the most of the people available. because maybe it's a manual for other countries. ”

At Lee Hyuk's words, Choi Jung-hoon tilted his head.

“A manual?”

“What's the situation?”

“We're passing through the west. It's going to pass the Southwest soon. ”

“Mmmm... ”

Yoon Young-min looked at the map with an anxious expression. In the current trajectory, ballistic missiles will pass through the southern part of the Korean Peninsula.

First, we deployed manpower in Busan, but before that, if the ballistic missiles diverted and descended, an unstoppable result might erupt.

“It's what people do. We can't stop them all. ”

“But……. ”

Song Jung-soo's voice was resolute.

“A thousand lives are not worth a single life. But right now, we're not deploying people to Busan to save more people. because you're most likely to fall into Busan. It's an exhibition. It's an emergency. Don't shake it.”

Yoon Young-min nodded at Song Jung-soo's resolute and sharp words.

‘I'm glad I have this person. ’

If he had gone through this alone, he might have been idle and doing nothing by now. He had recently learned that he was the owner of this fragile mental facade.

He was only guarding his body with a firm shell, but he was weak in determination.

“Can you stop it? ”

“I don't know.”

Song Jung-soo said with a stiff face.

“Now this is beyond the realm of possibility. It's the realm of trust."

“Trust……. ”

Song Jung-soo bites his lips quietly.

‘You must stop them. ’

Things got worse, but they went away.

The flying away of Beijing will be an unprecedented shock to the international community and East Asia. Despite the economic challenges, the lack of Beijing has left China in disarray, and a dire situation alone has made it impossible to deal with the Crown Prince army that is rising up in China.

When China is actually incapacitated, it concludes that there are two spots in East Asia that need to be stopped by work and the three countries.

But Tokyo and Seoul are already divided.

‘I didn't get a good shot, but I'm still cutting the power. ’

I never imagined that the appearance of the Demon King would unfold like this. At the same time the gate opened, I knew there would be a battle between the human and the Demon King, but the reality was even worse.

‘I'm parched. ’

We might be able to give up if we had a battle sooner. But I couldn't give up hope thanks to the slow-moving Demon Kings.

“Ballistic missiles inbound. ”

Song Jung-soo grabbed both hands tightly and closed his eyes.

‘Please.'

The only thing we could trust now was the NDFs.
