The Returner

“Dominos?”

“The Demon Lord who destroyed Germany is advancing east. Austria and Poland are already on their way to escape, and new fronts are being formed on the border between Ukraine and Romania. If we don't make it this time, we'll hit the Russians. ”

“… Russia? ”

“If the defense line is breached, I think I can pull back east. because if the whole of Europe collapses, even if Russia does everything in its power, there's no way. ”

“There are two spots down there. ”

“Exactly. ”

Song Jung-soo rubbed his eyes.

Russia is surrounded by oceans and spots everywhere. If I try to reach elsewhere, I can't reach. Even if they try not to understand the situation, they cannot.

‘I wouldn't even be able to apply. ’

First of all, marks are the most important thing.

The word "wide" means that there are as many defenses as there are.

“Phew……. ”

She breathes low and breathes out the atmosphere.

“This is getting worse by the minute. ”

Christopher was going as expected. To be honest, it was worse than Christopher said. I wonder if it's really possible to survive for three months.

“What about the front?”

“I'm not done yet.... ”

The person who blurred the end continued to explain.

“The support of the United States is growing. Moreover, the Ground Self-Defense Force has no major medical problems. ”

“Well……. ”

“There was a crisis the other day, but we overcame it with artillery support and ICBM support directly from the United States. There is no lack of firepower, but... ”

“Is there another problem? ”

The Chief of Staff sighs.

“They don't get tired. ”

“ ……. ”

“The wire is hardening and the damage is increasing. The big problem is that they never get tired, they never get tired, they never get tired day or night. They keep on coming, they keep on attacking. If they had just rushed from beginning to end, it would have been concluded whether they were extinct or we were extinct, but instead they were drying up the blood.... ”

Song Jung-soo's face darkened.

“So what's the situation? ”

“Worst case. ”

“The worst.... ”

“Everyone's getting tired. And trauma is rising. We're trying to treat it as best we can, but it's also not easy. ”

“Well……. ”

“We are currently deploying in shifts, but even if an enemy arrives, we will not be able to defend ourselves. Plus, we're running out of supplies. ”

“The problem with bullets is that Japanese and American support will be arriving soon, so please be patient. ”

“Yes.”

“Is there any other problem? ”

The Chief of Staff has distorted his face.

“I have so many problems, I don't know where to start. Honestly, I don't know where to start. ”

“Mmmm... ”

“The biggest problem is the talent. ”

“Capable?”

“Things are much better now, but the sacrifice is too great. They're paying the wrong price for the wrong wire. ”

Song Jung-soo sighed.

“I'm sorry. We... ”

“No, I don't think so. If we thought the plan was wrong, we wouldn't have gone along with it. because obviously it has the effect of sitting on the riverside and keeping them from rushing in at once, and it's become one of the forces that's kept them going so far. It's just... ”

“Only?”

“It is also true that the KSF's damage is too great to comfort them in that way. ”

“Hmm……. ”

Song Jung-soo became a dark face.

It is now a global trend for talented people to be at the heart of the military. If it's a matter of 'Human vs. Normal' rather than ‘Human,' the military will take the lead, but when it comes to fighting monsters, it seems more than humans…….

‘They are the same people. ’

Song Jung-soo covered his face with both hands.

How long have you been thinking about this?

That's how close Song Jin-su was to the best of the politicians, and I didn't want others to think about it.

“You need to wake up. ”

I heard that fatigue has increased recently, so this is what happens.

It wasn't just the site that was enduring the pain. I could no longer count how many days Song Jung-soo had not slept. Song Jeong-su was able to endure because she was better than a 20-something young man, but Yoon Young-min was literally able to endure with just one mind.

‘He's a great guy. ’

Yoon Young-min probably changed the most after the world changed. Who would have thought that someone who was perceived as just a mindless extremist would be able to demonstrate this kind of power?

‘Bondi has to.... ’

I didn't know anything else, but I was an exemplary person in willpower and integrity. If you take the Corruption Index again, you'll have to fold the number of Song's essence.

“Are you all right?”

Yoon Young-min, who was listening to the report with a tired face, drank cold water on the table.

“... should be fine. How could I not be okay with this? ”

“Mr. President.”

Yoon Young-min waved her hand at Song Jing-soo's worrying call.

“Not when you're crying yet. You know, right?”

Song Jung-soo nodded quietly.

You're right.

People are dying on the front lines right now, but it's not a situation to talk about it because you're tired. If the young men on the front die at the hands of the devil, they will have to overwhelm themselves.

Song Jong-soo sighed and looked at the ceiling.

‘Is it far?’

Nothing makes people harder than an unbelievable fight.

They don't even know when Lee Hyuk will return. It was eating away at Song Jin-woo's heart that he had to believe in those who might or might not come back.

‘Please come back soon. ’

Just because I had survived a month was not a good situation to say. I can assure you, as soon as one axis of defense is pierced, the front of the Han River will be torn apart, and it will not take three days to be pushed to Busan.

Now their fight is whether they are broken or not. On that front was the fate of the world as well as theirs.

“Heavy.”

Song Jung-soo closed his eyes when he was tired.

D +45.

“You're not getting any food? ”

The ceremony sighed, seeing the small intestine speaking with a dark face.

“He doesn't have any food anymore? ”

“It's not that Bob isn't here. He's having some trouble transporting. There's no way there's no food. ”

However, the face of the warden was still uncomfortable.

Are you sure there's not enough food? ’

I darkened my face.

“It's not like that. What we have lost is beyond Seoul. What kind of food comes out of Seoul, so you can't eat because you lost Seoul. ”

“Yes, but.... ”

“Rice was rotting in a warehouse. We haven't run out of food for a while. ”

“Well……. ”

Choi Chang Ceremony nodded.

I don't know, but that's what I'm gonna do. I don't know what else to do.

“Should we starve? ”

“I have food for battle, so I'll take that one. ”

Choi Hyuk scratched his head.

“That was, like, terrible.... ”

“Glad I could eat that, though. ”

“Well, yes. ”

It's hard to agree emotionally, but you have to say it now. I did not like people's eyes very much.

As soon as the food runs out, the world will be Abigail. It was not a foolish survival wish, but it was because I didn't see what would happen to the people who were obsessed with 'If you don't eat, you will die.'

“… at least I have to go to the supermarket. ”

Fortunately, money still works. Convenience stores and markets were struggling with supplies, but they had supplies.

Their lives are being sustained because they are blocked on the front lines. I don't know how long that's gonna last.

“Are we sure we're okay? ”

You hear the sound of a stupor behind your back.

Choi, who had been very discouraged for over a month, opened his mouth.

“Are we really going to die like this? Like this.”

Choi Chang Ceremony sighed.

“Mister, everyone dies once. ”

“This is Dog Death. ”

“How many people would die a meaningful death in the world? ”

Choi stared at the sky with a blank face.

“How long do we really have to do this? ”

“We don't have much time. ”

“How do you know? ”

“Tsk.”

He asked as if he didn't know why.

“No, you don't even know the NDF? ”

“There is no Korean who doesn't know NDF. I know it all.”

“They've all gone to solve this. ”

“... I thought you ran away? ”

“Oh, shit! ”

I was annoyed by the best ceremony.

“The man who took them is a man who does not retreat! I'm not running away because I'm an idiot. ”

“Oh, yeah? ”

“Yes. I mean, we just have to hold them off until they get back. And then you come to a conclusion. ”

“Conclusion?”

“They could all die, or we could all die. ”

“ ……. ”

A solemn expression opens its mouth.

“Let's go. We should get some combat food. You have to eat to work.”

D +50.

“This is not good. ”

Christopher frowns at the map.

Christopher sighs deeply as he looks at the map showing the Demon Prince's movements in real time.

“Progress?”

“About 30%.... ”

“You're holding up better than I thought. It's been 50 days now, but 30%... ”

“The meaning of the area. In the sense of power, not area.... ”

“I know. That's enough of that. I know you're smart, so you don't have to keep trying to prove you're smart. Sometimes I just want to be stupid. ”

“Yes.”

Christopher cuts the cigar and lights it slowly.

“Damn, I thought you'd be fucking busy. ”

The Demon Prince was in a frenzy in the country, but there was a limit to what he could do. All he could do was keep changing the lines, retreating, and secretly pushing his troops back so they wouldn't head west.

“Have you heard from him? ”

“Yes.”

“Damn, I wouldn't be here if I told you the news... They're all dead, aren't they? Does it mean you're coming from another dimension? ”

“Director……. ”

“Damn it!”

Christopher's hands trembling with his cigar.

No one will know how much pressure he is under but himself.

“The limit is coming. ”

Christopher, looking at the map, bites his fingernails with a nervous face.

“Limit!”

Christopher gets up from his seat, walks right up to the map, and looks straight through him.

“Not like this. I can't go on like this. Now's the time for something else. ”

“But the available methods are……. ”

“What happened to the Demon Kings? ”

“We're not getting much movement. ”

“Really?"

Christopher narrows his eyes.

Having been invisible to the Demon Kings since the last incident has certainly given me something to think about.

“Let's give it a try, then. ”

“Yes?”

“Something strong and sure. ”

Christopher smiled.
