The Returner

“Is it breached?”

“I don't have enough.”

The Minister of Defense's face was unsettling. The interesting thing is that Song Jeong-su and Yoon Young-min are not at all embarrassed by the situation in front of them.

“What's the plan?"

"We are building a large trench 100 kilometers behind us through our rear engineers, but this is nothing more than an open embankment. They'll be breached soon.”

“I see.”

Song Jong-soo asked while smoking cigarettes.

“What is the estimated rate of march to Busan? ”

“Two days.”

“Extinction in two days. ”

At this point, the urgency disappeared. Whatever it takes, it doesn't change the fact that they will eliminate all living things on the Korean Peninsula in just two days.

“We need to evacuate. ”

“Where to?”

“I'll arrange for a plane to leave the country. ”

“Let's not be stupid, Minister. ”

Song Jung-soo kicked his tongue.

“The world is full of monsters, but where do they run to? Die here or die there anyway. At least this place is better than death. I'll be buried in my own land. ”

Song Jeongsoo said with a bitter tone.

“Everyone worked so hard.... ”

I was sad that I didn't get rewarded for that effort. According to Christopher's earlier message, the Demon King has declared the destruction of the human race in five days.

‘Oh, it's...' ’

What does that mean? South Korea will be wiped from the world in two days.

Song Jing-soo couldn't hide her empty feelings.

“What about the front? ”

Yoon Young-min said in an urgent tone, and the Secretary of Defense shook his head.

“We are at war. ”

“Constant war.... ”

While anti-war is meaningful when there is a distance between the horses, there is nothing humans can do when the horses are close. Blow up Mathew and his crew, or we're out of here.

“The line is closed. ”

“Yes?”

“Lee told you to retrieve your weapons and retreat. ”

“… Mr. President. ”

The Secretary of Defense said in a dark tone.

“We move faster than we move back. This is pointless.”

“Worthless?”

A spark appeared in Yoon Young-min's eyes.

“Damn it! Who doesn't know that? I know, I know! I know, but there are times when I have to. We can't just suck our fingers and wait for them to kill us! ”

The Secretary of Defense lowers his head.

“We must fight to the last minute. ”

“Now it means……. ”

Yoon Young-min kicked the table.

“What does it mean to freeze to death! If you have time to find it, save one more! Isn't that why you're here, eating your salary? ”

The Secretary of Defense grips his teeth.

“I know! I know! I know there's no way! ”

Yoon Young-min's voice was like a cry.

“But you still have to fight! So I can dream of hope! ”

“Enough, Mr. President. ”

Song Jung-soo held Yoon Young-min in her voice.

“It's not his fault. ”

Yoon Young-min glanced at Song Jeong-soo and the Minister of Defense and opened her mouth quietly.

“What would Lee Hyuk say if he could see you now? ”

When the name Lee Hyuk appeared, Song Jeong-su's eyes shook.

“He's going to spend a hell of a time in another world fighting the machete, losing all his powers. And we're just going to give up everything in this crisis? And what will you tell him when he comes back? Since you came back so soon to give up, are you going to tell me to fix this? Can you say that in a human scarf, like this! ”

Yoon Young-min, who had been keeping her calm recently, lost her mind completely and shouted.

“Shame on you! Even at this moment, the soldiers in the front are waiting for the next order to be issued. Then what are the people doing leading a country? ”

Yoon Young-min heavily sighed.

“… I'll do as you ask. ”

“Please do your best. If we can't save them all, we have to save one more. ”

“I'll keep that in mind.”

After the Minister of Defense went out, Yoon Young-min looked at Song Jung-soo with sad eyes. Song Jeong-su looked like a blown balloon.

It wasn't just because I was disappointed. It really exhausted all its power. Since the day Lee Hyuk left, Song Jeong-su has not slept well. The tension that was pulled tightly was severed, and even the body lost its strength.

“Get up.”

“… Yes. ”

“Not yet. Your country hasn't given you permission to rest yet. Stand and die. It's a shame to die on your back. ”

“Of course.”

Song Jung-soo got up from his seat with a smile.

“Three days at the most, two days at the least. ”

Yoon Young-min chewed it out.

“Let's do it. ”

“What's going on here? ”

The hypnotic siren sounds frightened.

“Ahjussi! What the hell is going on? ”

“Evacuate!”

“Where? To the shelter? ”

“What a refuge! Namha-ha! He's got a breach! ”

“Holy shit! ”

We got a breach!

Everyone knew what that meant. If all the forces of the Republic of Korea could not stop the monsters in front of the concentrated front, the Republic of Korea would no longer be able to stop them.

It meant that the horses were starting to run wild like a house.

What am I supposed to do? ’

The ceremony was immediately confused.

"Namhae"?

Since the monsters are coming from the north, South Harbor can be considered a very modest move in some ways. But what are we going to do about Namhae?

I can't stop it.

It was just the difference between dying in the war, dying in Busan, and dying in Jeju Island.

“Completely compromised? ”

“Then we'd be dead, too. How fast are they going? ”

“Right? Then there's still hope! ”

You hear a hollow laugh.

“Hey, you bastard. There's four million up ahead. Four million humans building barricades. You think it's easy to kill four million people? I'm just buying time with my body! ”

My hands trembled.

I had no idea what was going on out there. It's probably turned into hell by now.

“There is a tenth of the Korean population there. Once all those people are wiped out, they'll start running down. Then we're all dead! I'm dying!”

“…… what do I do, then? ”

“What are you gonna do, asshole? ”

A warden with a car parked on the side of the road opened the car door and started the car.

“Do you have any oil? ”

“I already took it out! Get in!”

“What are you going to do?”

“Going to Busan is pointless. We don't know when it's gonna be breached, and there's no guarantee we're gonna make it to Busan alive. They're probably on a boat by now. ”

“A ship?”

“The sea is still safe. We have to catch the boat and get out of Japan somehow. Japan has not yet been invaded by monsters! ”

“China is closer here! ”

“Son of a bitch, when did China become not China, man! Rumors are already spreading that there are no people there. The Chinese organized monsters came here and smashed the front of our house! What are you talking about? ”

The eyes of the highest ceremony trembled.

“… Mister. ”

“Why?”

Looking at the small intestine stampeding on the rough axel, you open your mouth with a dying voice.

“Are we done here? ”

“What's over! I'm not done! I'm not done! ”

“No. Humans, not us. ”

“ ……. ”

“How can we run away now? We can't stop it now. So now we have to struggle to die a little later? ”

“Oh, that brat! ”

The warden opened his eyes.

“Hey, you bastard! Everyone's trying to live a second longer! That or you're crazy because your boss is abusing you and sticking to work and making money! I don't want to die anyway.I just want to die soon. ”

“ ……. ”

“A living human has to struggle somehow! That's what we need to do. Do you know what that means? ”

“Yes! Al……. ”

The eyes of the highest ceremony, which I was about to answer, burst open.

“Ahhhh! Mister! There! There! ”

“Huh?"

The warden turned his head and saw what looked like a flying stick in the eye.

What is that? ’

It looks like someone threw a long pipe into the air, and it's circling back and forth.

‘Wait. That's... that's not a pipe. ’

Too big to be a pipe. Soon, the warden cried out, noticing that flying towards them was the elected telegraph shareholder.

“Aaahhhh!”

Engage brake as you steer rapidly. The car spins and spins.

Boom, boom!

A full-body shark splashes up from your brow. One of them falls precisely into the trunk of the car carrying the most decorative ceremony.

The car bounces up into the air.

Turn around and drop from the ceiling to the ground. The ceremony shrouded its head, screaming.

Bang!

“Ugh... ”

Even with my seat belt on, I felt like my whole body was crushed.

“Ahjussi? ”

When I saw the complaint lying next to me, the most frightened ceremony hung in the air and reached out. Luckily, I was breathing.

“I have to get out... ”

But the best ceremony could know one more thing.

There's no reason why a full-time shareholder would be elected to fly through the air. And no matter how strong a human being is, he can't just pick up and throw a whole host.

Kuooooooooo!

Kara, kara, kara, kara!

I'm starting to hear the sign of a horrible beast from afar. It's the howling of monsters that people have been used to since five years ago.

“Cook, Cook.”

The best ceremony laughed low.

“Shit, if I'd known this, I would've just played at home and died. ”

I felt like I was working diligently.

At first, he was right to say that it was better to go home and wipe your feet and die in sleep.

“... I've worked so hard..." ”

This is the last one.

You can see the monsters racing frenzily from afar in the most enlightened eyes. Given their speed, they will come before him in a flash and swallow him up a second time.

“Yes, fuck it! Come!”

The highest ceremony, confident of the inevitability of death, screams with evil.

If I was going to die anyway, I wanted to be dealt with until the moment I died.

The horses jump right in front of the car. Screaming, screaming, as if coming out of hell.

The ceremony closed my eyes.

‘It's over.'

It was funny to think it was the last time. The last death is not cool. Death is not like a movie.

At that moment, I heard a voice familiar to the ears of the most ceremonial.

“No, I don't care. I just want to get back here. ”
