The Returner

Kuaaaaaaang!

A huge explosion has begun to sweep through the world.

“Hehe!”

Choi Jung-hoon leans in with a hurricane. Lee Hyuk reaches out before the second wave comes and hits the shield in front of Choi Jung-hoon.

“That's why you can look further away. ”

“… farther? ”

There's already more than 500 metres.What do you want me to see if it's further away from here?

For your own safety, Choi Jeong-hoon has not been more inclined to stand in a safe place and watch his comrades fight.

“I can't do that. ”

Lee Hyuk kicked his tongue, watching Choi Jung-hoon's firm expression.

“I'm a loser. ”

There was no one here to complain that Choi Jeong-hoon only watched from behind. If Jung-hoon gets hurt in the aftermath of that battle, someone will blame himself...

‘I don't blame myself. ’

Instead, there won't be one or two people who want to stir up Lee Hyuk to ask him what he did while he was together. However, the person who wanted to protect the position was Jung-hoon Choi.

‘So people will follow. ’

When I first saw Jeong Hun Choi, I was a competent elite official. Lee Jeong-hyuk's assessment of Choi Jeong-hoon was that he could rise to the top in any age.

A type that is not too clean and does not stand up and angle, maintaining a good relationship with both rounds and never misses its own torque speed.

But people with abilities and passion for work.

They must go up, even if it takes time.

However, Choi Jung-hoon recently became a person who simply did not stay in such an assessment.

Are you going to be a king? ’

Lee Hyuk smiled quietly.

Talents who have begun to become inclusive are attracted to people. If it hadn't been for this era, he might have been the subject of the revolution.

‘There's nothing you can't do. ’

There is no king, but there is a leader. Now is not the time to care about such things, but if we are to stop the invasion of the horse system, we will need someone to sew up this deep wound.

At that time, Choi Jung-hoon may have to step up.

Lee Hyuk smiled, thinking like that.

‘I'm worried about everything, too. ’

Previously, I didn't care that it was a future as good as never before. However, now that I'm interested in the future, I feel like I want to protect the world.

His body is no longer able to endure. Even if I lead this war to victory, I will not be able to enjoy the new world.

Nonetheless, Lee Hyuk was looking forward to the future.

Not him, but everyone else will be able to enjoy their own world without monsters and machetes.

‘You have to win to do that. ’

Unlike his natural face, Lee Hyuk was also a little nervous and watched the situation. Whether the NDF can take on the Demon King without his support was of great importance.

Being unable to stand up to the Demon King at all and being able to stand up to the Demon King with only human strength will change everything starting from that response.

Kuaaaaaaang!

The storm tears the ears, and the storms of Aether and Mana swallow the battlefield.

“What is that? ”

Director Jung In Soo looks at the battlefield with a frightened look.

“I've never seen anything like it. ”

Of course you are.

They also watched the nucleus fall from a place that could be identified by the eye. But nuclear is a huge explosion, and what you're looking at right now is like...

“Sounds like fireworks. ”

“That's a reasonable expression. ”

The shape was different enough to be entirely different, but there were similarities in the fact that colorful explosions erupted. Looking at the unparalleled explosion, Jung Myung Soo rubs her eyes.

“Is that what the powers are doing? ”

“I think so. ”

“... did you come back with a nuke on your body? ”

Jung In Soo trembles.

It was also known that the elite knew that NDF would return after a hellish retreat. His involvement in the post-apocalypse operation was a little bit more time-consuming before they returned.

If they thought everyone was going to die, they would have chosen to live a little longer, but they risked their lives because they were confident that if they returned to the NDF, they could reverse the situation.

‘But I don't think this is a very good idea. ’

I thought I could turn things around when I came back, but I never expected to emit such overwhelming firepower.

Among the ordinary people, those who have undertaken the most operations with NDF are the key players. That is why it was said that they had the highest understanding of how much power they had.

Even though his imagination was limited due to his high understanding, it was unbelievable that the scene he was seeing was the power of those he knew.

‘I would understand if Lee Ji-hyuk was fighting.... ’

It was clear who the explosion was from just the presence of flames that were flooding in the spectacular explosion.

“I've come back stronger than I ever imagined. ”

Jung In Soo smiled.

Suddenly, fatigue started to come. My nerves tightened like razor blades felt a little loose now. At the same time, the whole body began to become as heavy as a damp cotton ball.

Are you relaxed? ’

An integer who had no idea when he was going to die even just two hours ago. I didn't just say that, but I really didn't know when I was going to die.

Repeating dragging Aggro away from the horses was no different than repeating a bungee jump in a white floor building with a rotten rope.

After repeating the few things that can only be survived if you are very lucky, you have to lose your mind.

“... I think our mission... is over. ”

“That's right. Now we can go back. ”

“But how do I get back? ”

“Ah……. ”

Jung In-soo's face became dazed.

I never thought I'd be back. ’

This is an operation that was supposed to kill everyone anyway. The success of the operation was to drag Aggro to his death. So there was no going back.

“Can I go to the Harrow? ”

“Frozen to death. There's no boat.”

“What about China? ”

“Isn't China more dangerous than here? You said it was almost collapsed. ”

“Eh……. ”

What are we gonna do?

Jung Myung Soo started scratching his head.

“W-would you call the HQ and ask for a helicopter so they could pick you up here? ”

“I'll be back in about five days. if we're still alive. ”

The deputy's cynical answer caused him to lose his words. It was a negative answer from the ethnic group, but it made it even more difficult for him to understand that everything he said was true.

‘I thought I'd barely survived...' ’

Whoever wins that fight, the consequences weren't good for them. If the NDFs defeat the Demon King, there is a high chance that the horses will flee from the NDFs here, and if the NDFs do not defeat the Demon King, the stiff-necked horses will be revived.

You're going to die here. You're going to die there.

I came here thinking I was supposed to die, but the process of living with hope and disappearing made me feel very dirty.

“What is this……. ”

Jung In-su wrapped around the crooked face.

“By the way, Warden, ”

“Why?”

“Do you have Lee Hyuk's phone number? ”

“... I have it. ”

“Did you bring your phone? ”

“Yes.”

How much did Jung In-soo answer?

In the military, it is a principle to use radio. because there is a risk of wiretapping. But now they are free from the dangers of eavesdropping because they are not dealing with humans. Then it was a benefit to just use a cell phone.

“Then why don't you just call her and have her come pick you up? He... he can just move. ”

“Phew……. ”

Jung In Soo looked at the deputy with surprised eyes.

You son of a bitch.

A person holding the phone with trembling hands pressed Lee Hyuk's number.

Please have your phone.

The phone was ringing and he put the phone to his ear with a nervous face.

Hello?

“Lee, Lee Hyuk! It's me! ”

Long time no see, Colonel Jung Myung Soo.]

I'm the warden now, and I'm getting promoted again. But then again, it looks extraordinary.

“You're back.”

[Yeah, well, it took a while.]

“Now I'm very sorry that I have a favor to ask of you who has just returned. ”

Please?]

“Yes…. We're right across the river. But there's no turning back. If the horses start coming this way, they'll all die. ”

[Why are you there?]

“... because of the mission. ”

[Ah, that backward distraction or something. Colonel Chung is one of the most important commanders in the world.]

“That's it. ”

The key is the inputs. It was just as important.

So?

“I'm really sorry, but I was wondering if you could open the gate for me. ”

[Oh, well, it's not that hard, but I don't know where it is, so it's hard to open the gate. It shouldn't be too hard to see from here.]

“You'll see it there. We're at the top of the mountain. Just open the gate to the highest peak you can see there. ”

[Um, hold on. Is this it?]

He urgently said that he saw something black in the peak next to him.

“Not there. This is the side.”

[So here it is.]

Whoo-hoo!

She saw a black hole appearing right in front of her, and she could see what it meant to be happy to cry. I was literally so happy to cry.

“Thank you."

[Come on over.]

“Yes!”

Jung Myung Soo hung up on me shouted.

“Get in! Go! ”

Those instructed by the acquisition roar into the gate. The last one to confirm entry into the gate plunges urgently into the gate.

It brightens the world.

Jung Soo came out of the gate and found Lee Hyuk, who was lying in a field bed, with a happy face next to him.

“General Jung In Soo! ”

“This is the warden. ”

Jung In Soo smiled and replied.

“Have you been promoted?”

“No soldier's been promoted as fast as I have since the founding nation. ”

But that's the price of life.

The moment Jung In-su was about to say something more, Choi Jung-hoon's gaze shifted.

“Ah……. ”

As the fireworks subside, the body of the Kaikan slowly begins to reveal itself. Choi Jung-hoon clenched his fist with a tense face.

"Through!"

If it doesn't work even with this much firepower, humanity will never be able to face the Demon King.

Choi Jung-hoon, filled with desperation, stumbled upon the shape of a shaykan that appeared to be among the sunken dust.
