The Returner

Labor can be labored because labor is paid for.

In most cases, people endure labor because the economic cost, which is easy to say, makes money.

Even when money is not earned, a person must receive something material or at least be mentally satisfied in order to work. We cannot continue our repeated labor at no cost.

In that sense, it was a pretty terrible thing to do.

“Ew, seeds, iron powder. ”

How much iron powder I drank makes my mouth taste sour.

The robbery of labor is unusual, but it is not paid well. The only remuneration they could get was comfort that they were working to help stop the Demon Kings from going forward.

But there are limits to that, too.

I couldn't get rid of the idea of 'how can this help?' The day is cold and my body is trembling, but I'm trying to carry my bones and cold scrap metal. It's hard and annoying.

“Oh, fuck. I can't do it.”

Qaddar!

Someone throws the fork on the floor and sits down.

But people didn't blame him. At first glance, I felt like I had never done anything like this.

“No, damn it. I'd rather send him to the front. Why do I have to do this? ”

“Choi, you said you were from public interest. What's the front line? ”

“What? Can you do anything against monsters when you learn to train? You're not getting a bullet anyway? ”

“ ……. ”

“I'd rather just go ahead and shoot and relax. What the hell are you doing?" ”

“Well, that's a little harsh. Comfortable for those who are fighting hard in front of you. ”

“Did I say something wrong? ”

“Calm down, Choi. Why are you so angry all of a sudden? ”

“Damn, look where it's going. ”

Choi slapped the floor and said.

“They're all going to die anyway! We're all gonna die anyway! ”

“ ……. ”

“It's a result, right? Don't you all have eyes? How do we stop China, how do we stop the United States? Why do you have to go through all this trouble if you're gonna die anyway? ”

“... Hey, Choi. ”

It was a story that everyone didn't implicitly bring up.

“We can stop them. Is there a law against us that the Chinese couldn't do it? They couldn't stop it, but we can. ”

“Does that make any sense? ”

Choi spit on the floor and said.

“Damn it, there's nothing we can do. How are we supposed to do something that even America can't do? When you say there's a spot or something, you should run to another country quickly. ”

People began to listen to Choi.

“Goddamn it, they're all gone. I know a guy who works for you, but everyone who has money got away in the first place. I don't want to talk about it in this country, but I'm afraid it will create anxiety... ”

“Hey, Choi. That's too much.”

“What are you going to do? Did I say something wrong? ”

Choi started screaming to make sure the excitement didn't subside.

“Eat or eat properly! I didn't eat like this in the army! What are you doing eating dog food? ”

It was empathetic to everyone.

There are limits to supply. After the evacuation in Seoul, Korea's financial system completely collapsed. It was not a situation where you could make something for yourself to eat.

Eventually, he had to rely on state-led supply. However, the problem was that South Korea had never been in a situation like this before, and the whole country could not afford to feed its people.

In fact, it was hard to provide regular meals for refugees of this size, even if it was possible.

“I'm going to die anyway, why do I have to endure all this trouble? Damn it, I'm not doing it. I'm just gonna die like this. Even if I work hard here, it doesn't make a difference. What do you think it's gonna do to us if we don't send ammunition in here? I don't think so."

Choi told people in a confident tone.

“You're going to die anyway, and you want me to work like an ant until I die? I'm out. I'm out of here. I'm going... ”

Choi glanced at people with a gentle face.

“What are you going to do? ”

“Huh?"

“Are you guys going to keep working here drinking iron powder? I wouldn't do anything stupid like that. ”

“... but it was mobilized. ”

“What are you doing listening to a fucking country? ”

“But……. ”

Choi kicked his tongue.

“We're all gonna die anyway, and you're going through all that trouble because you're crazy? I'm leaving, so you can work until you die. ”

“Hey, hey, Choi. Cops are watching out here. ”

“Police?”

Choi snorted.

“Who cares about the police in the yard like this! Does he have a jail cell for people? What kind of cop is a cop? ”

Choi got up from his seat and said.

“So you're not coming with me? ”

“… together? ”

“Yes, together. I feel sorry for you guys. Instead of going through all this trouble, let's go live together. ”

“ ……. ”

People looked at each other with hesitant faces.

They just didn't talk to each other, but they know that what they're doing doesn't mean much. He also knew that the front was getting harder and harder every day and he couldn't stop it.

Even if we try not to be desperate, there is no place to hope.

“Are you sure you don't want to go? ”

“I……. ”

At that time, one person opened his mouth.

“Hey, mister. ”

“Huh?"

Choi opened his eyes wide when he turned his head and called out to himself. At least one head of a larger looking young man was looking at him with an impression.

“Well, I know you don't want to work because you don't want to. ”

“ ……. ”

“Then just go down quietly by yourself. Don't provoke people who are doing well for no reason. ”

“This, this……. ”

It was supposed to say, ’This little cub’, but Choi also had common sense, and I didn't have the courage to say it even after watching the ceremony.

As he said, the influence of the police has been dramatically reduced. Even if they were to arrest someone, they wouldn't have a place to put them, so they were closing their eyes unless we really had to isolate them.

I knew it was never supposed to happen in such a situation that I had to get in trouble like this. But isn't pride too bad to back down like this?

“Did I say something wrong? ”

“I'm not wrong, go. Don't be ridiculous. ”

“What?"

“Oh, you don't know what you're talking about? ”

He walked up to the ceremony and said, looking straight at Choi.

“Do you know who said the same thing? ”

“… Huh? ”

“In my day, the foreigners said like you. ”

“ ……. ”

“Why is it so bad to cooperate with Japan when there are no minerals coming anyway? And then he tried really hard to be a Japanese guy. ”

Choi didn't say anything.

“I learned that in history time, you look like you could have studied somewhere. Why don't you know that? ”

“Well, is that a bad thing? ”

“Who said it was bad? ”

The highest ceremony shook hands as if chasing a fly.

“I don't think even frontmen are bad. He wants to live like that, so what can I do? Honestly, I could've gotten ahead of myself in that situation. You could have lived as Nakamura. But……. ”

The face of the ceremony fainted.

“You should at least be aware that what I'm doing is a conscience. If you're going to commit a sin, let's do it alone. Don't try to take the blame for dragging other people into this. You know what I'm saying? ”

“ ……. ”

I thought, 'That bear looks like a good talker.'

“Let's go.”

“Leave?”

“Go away, don't spoil the mood. If you want to come, go back there and have a cigarette and come back. It's not a good time to be here. Let's go. What are you doing? ”

“Oh, okay. ”

Choi shakes his head as he disappears to one side of the Tullette.

“There are strangers everywhere, really. ”

“Oh, student. You were really good at that. ”

“... Are you a good talker? ”

I was busy getting robbed by Yeewon just by opening my mouth...

"By the witchy girl, did I level up a bit? ’

When Choi Hyuk smiled, the warden ran to them from over there.

“You're early. ”

I'm sure he's stuck somewhere playing and he's late to hear the news.

The chief laughs and tries to fork again, but the warden shouts in a loud voice.

“Who is Choi Chang-sik here? ”

“Huh?"

The voice that searches for you turns to the top of your head.

“Me?”

I questioned the face of the most famous ceremony.

“I'm not going. ”

The user stares at the target with a look at what the highest ceremony is saying. A soldier in a uniform, full of unknown medals, looks at him and says he can't understand.

“You're not going? ”

“Yes, I'm not going. ”

Choi Chang Ceremony snorted.

“Does it make sense that I should be the only one getting out of here embarrassed? Do you have any idea what I just said? ”

“… Hey, student. ”

“No, thank you. ”

The highest ceremony was no longer heard.

The soldier grabbed the best ceremony to get up from his seat.

“You must be mistaken. We're not trying to do anything bad. This is not supposed to be said, but Choi Chang-sik is classified as an acquaintance of Lee Hyuk and becomes a special manager. ”

“I know.”

The ceremony shrugged.

If he came from a country, there must be a reason other than that.

“I know, I'm not going. ”

“... No, why aren't you going? I'm transferring everyone here to Shelter, not just Mr. Choi. And that's not Shelter in Korea, that's Shelter in America. ”

“Oh, my gosh. ”

I was annoyed by the best ceremony.

“What do you want me to do when I can't speak? ”

“ ……. ”

“And you should know that. ”

The best ceremony I took a little deep breath opened my mouth in a firm tone.

“This is what a country looks like. It's not my job to run for my life. Especially not someone as sturdy as me who can do it for two other people. If I wasn't there for no reason, Ji-hyuk would try to break my head later. Don't do anything useless. Just take care of the girls. ”

I kicked my tongue and went out.

“You don't know your brother that well. Tsk.”
