Chapter.3 For that handful of silver coins (10)
***
“To the left! “More to the left!”
Buaaaaang-!
Percussion!
“done! “I got it!”
“Pull it up!”
The professor’s hand reached out from the moving vehicle and desperately grabbed the hand of Bex, who was running next to him.
“Uuuhhuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu? are her is?? is is isn is is are are are are is is is is is is is is is are are are are are are are is are ares? is are are are are are are are is is is are are is are are are are are are are are are
? are?
are are are are are are are are are He was rushing furiously towards the elevator.
“Hey H! Anyway, what are you going to do? The elevator door is still locked!”
“What are you going to do? Crash in! The power is turned on, so you can control it from the inside! As I saw earlier, this car is good at breaking the walls. “
You said I was crazy! It’s different from a wall! Even if you break through, if the elevator gets crushed and gets caught in the passage, it’s over!” “
Then, to the guy chasing me behind me, ‘Excuse me, please wait a moment while I open the elevator door. ‘Why don’t you ask politely!”
“Oh—
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Hold on! I’ll fuck you!”
“The first one to come to his senses will go out and press the button that goes up!”
“Aaaah! 14!! Hepburn! I really did my best! Memories that turned my life upside down, the three of us walk in the sky at the end of today#!) *#[email protected]^)!!!!”
“Come to your senses, V!”
“You damn old man! “Don’t leave an unlucky will or anything like that!!!”
Wow!!
Wow!
“Wow!!”
“Aaaah!!!”
“Down 14, I’m having a hard time breathing today! Hair birth!
Coooooo!
With the collision, the elevator door fell apart and the shaking car came to a halt.
“Uuuu HV can you move….”
“negative…..”
“I put my leg…..”
“Hehehe, make your body bigger, you bastards.”
Quang!
After kicking down the dented door, Ian staggered to the control panel on the corner of the freight elevator. A freight elevator with only a floor and an open view on all sides. Thinking that three people’s lives depend on this machine, Ian seemed to strangely develop affection for this machine as well.
“Hehehe cute baby, please lift us up to heaven…!”
My trembling hand pressed the green shiny top button. The
elevator , which
vibrated
for a moment, slowly began to move upward.
“Hehehehe….”
“It’s moving! I! No, it’s Metal Joe! This is moving, right! “I can’t see it from the inside!”
“Hahahaha!!! Lived! I got out of that fucking hell alive! Goodbye, you idiots! We are going upaaaa-”
.
.
.
.
.
“Oooh——-oohhhhh!!!!”
Kwasik! Wow, Kwazijic!
At that moment, a terrible crying sound that scattered the cheers of the three people filled the passage, and the faces of the three people who had been excited with joy turned black.
“Oh, please stop! Is this Phase 3? I caught Boss Jinbos, but what else is there? Isn’t this too classic?!!”
“Hurensohn!! It’s a bastard! “The big one is climbing up!”
At the bottom of the slowly ascending elevator, the Abomination was chasing the group, pinning chunks of flesh, either arms or tentacles, into the wall. The distance between him and the elevator was rapidly decreasing due to the clear difference in speed.
“Fuck you!!! Zoraemon! Is there anything else in that bag? explosive! Strange ammunition! anything!”
“dog sound! Who knows, I know that explosives are pouring out indefinitely! doesn’t exist! “I used it all up earlier…”
Click –
I felt a hard, angular texture as my hand desperately searched through the bag.
‘….No, there’s one more thing.’
Ian took out an item he had kept in the corner of his bag that he never thought he would use in a situation like this.
[FRONT TOWARD ENEMY]
The intuitive phrase [toward the enemy] is written on a simple, palm-sized rectangular plastic body. And the trigger.
“Hehehehe….”
A dangerous light began to fill Ian’s eyes as he took out the claymore mine.
Kwajik kwadeuk!
“Oooooooh!!!!Ahh—–Aaaaa!!!”
“Hey… what is that?”
Rustling –
Ian took out a dented cigarette pack from his pocket, put the cigarette inside in his mouth, and struck the included match on his chin to light it. Although it was old and worn, the words [Lucky Strike] were clearly written on the cigarette pack.
“I picked it up in the garage. “Why give me one?”
“No, no, no, not like that! “The one in your left hand?”
“Ah, this? Well, whatever. “It’s our last hope.”
“Hey, I know our situation is a bit urgent, but I don’t think it’s really true. Claymore! You connect the wires, control the direction, and explode it?! A directional explosion! “How are you going to target the enemy below!”
Seueueu-huuuu.
Well, it’s killing me. It tastes absolutely killer.
Ian, who was happily smoking a cigarette in his mouth, smiled and said to the professor.
“Hey H. Take your pick.”
“what?”
A bizarre smile appeared on his face as he hummed, inserted the detonator, and connected all the eight meters of wire.
“Back and forth?”
.
.
.
.
The professor understood what he was saying.
“You can’t believe it!!!!”
“Hahaha! Coin toss! “I’m all in on Lady Luck!!!!”
Whisper –
The claymore in Ian’s hand began to fall over the railing towards the Abomination.
***
Whirik –
The falling claymore appeared in slow motion to the eyes of the professor who was stuck in the car and could not move. If it is in front, the explosion is directed downward. The back explodes upwards.
Whirik –
Every time I turn over, the past times pass through my mind like a flash of light. My father, who passed away on my behalf, the days in the 14th Special Operations Unit, the times I spent in the wasteland with my mother, and the time I spent alone, and finally, the short time the three of us spent together…
Whirik –
I see Bex struggling and gibbering in the front seat of the car. In front of him, Ian, who was leaning on the railing and holding a trigger, was winking at the professor.
“Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
…
Ah, it wasn’t a bad life.
A teardrop formed in the corner of the professor’s eye and
he snapped.
With a strange feeling that time has stopped,
Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
The professor lost his mind.
***
Giiiing-
Uuuuuuuung- Clap! It’s
tickling and
warm. Flowing softly. The sensation of grains of sand heated by the sun passing through my body.
The professor’s senses slowly began to return, like a light coming on in a broken machine. Freight elevator exposed to the outside. Sand blowing in the wind and the familiar smell of wind and dust of the wasteland, not the rotten stench of the mutant.
“This is…”
I forced myself out of the car. Collapsed buildings and billowing smoke were visible not far away.
“Outside of Area 45… Was the elevator connected to this area?”
So far, no one has been able to find it. An entrance with an open floor. Even if a little bit of sand piles up after we pass, there will be no trace.
‘Vex… was thrown out of the car?’
I saw Vex lying not far away.
“Hey Bex. “Are you alive?”
“…Hepburn I think I have a religion. “This is my first time feeling like this.”
“That’s strange. Me too. Now I’m going to take care of the Buddha’s day
, not Christmas. ”
He moved his creaking body to the place where he heard the moans.
“Ian, hey… are you okay?”
“Damn…there’s no way it’s going to be okay…I think I broke a few ribs…”
Ian, who
got up from the sand, looked at the professor and started to whimper.
“Why… are you laughing so damn hard….”
“Your eyebrows are so full of hair…boop! They’re so hot…kehehehe!”
“So you think you’re a handsome man? Your nose stands diagonally…”
“Keuheu! Keuhehehe!”
Jiik- Jiik-
“Kihi, you both look stupid… Kihihi!” Even
Vex
crawling from
one
corner
.
“
Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
.
“Puhahahaha! Oh my god!”
“Kihihihi! We survived there! All three of us are fine!”
“Old man, do you think this looks fine? Haha!”
“In the wasteland, this is similar to being bitten by a mosquito!”
In the end, the laughter I had been holding in and the tension built up inside burst out in an instant.
“Nimirel! That’s it! Isn’t the probability just half that?”
“Hehehehe! I was so desperate that it must have been about 51%! It was the most stimulating experience of my life! Woohoo! Wow!”
“Kihihi, brain muscles with no answer….”
“Ah, I can’t stand it. I can’t just let a moment like this pass by!”
Ian frowned as if he was feeling pain in his chest and opened the bag on his back. When the lid was opened, the smell of alcohol wafted out. As
time passed and his breathing began to calm down, the forgotten scent came deep in.
“Damn, I broke a few bottles.”
“Hey, did you take that with you in that crazy situation?”
“It was sitting on a shelf in the garage. The bag was empty, so I swept it right away. Oh, don’t worry. We’ll sell the car and split it equally between the three of us.”
Ian
threw a bottle roughly wrapped in cloth at the professor and handed a bottle to Bex who was next to him and took out his own share.
“You bastards who don’t have any tricks. A wasteland person should have quick hands, so why come out of there empty-handed? I’m telling you in advance. “If you are thinking of taking this alcohol and selling it, you will die by my hands.”
“Fuha! Don’t you have any tricks? Look at this arrogant bastard!”
The professor burst out laughing and unpacked his bag.
“Where is N-bread in the wasteland? Everyone should take care of it themselves.”
“What is that…?”
“Hehehe! It was a house with a garage, one of the few in many residential areas! I wonder if that was the only thing that was valuable! While you were lying awake in the garage, I also looked around the house to see if there was anything useful to put out the fire!”
What came out of the professor’s bag was a small picture, a watch and a necklace in a luxurious box.
“A watch and necklace are fine, but the real thing is this picture. It was the only picture that a wealthy person took when he sensed the destruction of the world, so he became his rag partner. “It’s going to be a lot more expensive than a car, right?”
“Hehehe! Isn’t this just petty theft?”
Squeak-pow!
Bex, who had been quiet between Ian and the professor, opened the cap of the bottle.
“…Oh, sorry. I didn’t think of you.”
“Don’t worry, old man. I’ll split it in half.”
“Kihihihi, who are you idiots and idiots talking to?”
“Hmm? Oh, the way you say it, I guess you took care of it too?”
“Old man, you don’t even have a bag, right? Are you stuffing it in your pocket?”
“hmm? Is that so? “You lost the bag you were carrying when you went in, right?”
Gulp,
“Kuh-!”
Bex took a refreshing drink of strong drink and took out a key the size of two fingers from his pocket.
“What do you need a bag for?”
“Hmm? A key? How much does that cost?”
“No… wait a minute. Vex, that can’t be right….”
“Kihihihi!”
Vex held up a complicated metal key in the sunlight and waved it in front of the two people.
“Yes, Hepburn. That’s right. “It’s one of two security keys embedded in the general system panel.”
“!!!!!!”
“!!!!”
“Kihihi! I told you so. “I prefer something small.”
The professor looked at the security key in Vex’s hand as if fascinated. Eventually, that facility will fall into someone’s hands. There will be some competition, so the group that gets it will quickly normalize the facility and fortify it. Of course, you’ll want to check the system panel first. But what will you think if you only have one security key and can’t use it for anything?
“If I sell that…”
“Key hit! Well, they put the key in the box there. “There’s nothing you can’t make if you customize it, but… This type of key can’t be made easily. Above all, when occupying a facility like this, it takes time to get it back to normal, right? I’ll sell this for the price of that time. I’m sure they’ll accept it even if I ask for a fairly high price, right?”
“Heuhuh….”
“Wow….”
They looked at each other with blank eyes and burst out laughing without anyone else taking the lead.
“Whatever it is, it ends up saying that they were all great wasteland people.”
“I don’t like the fact that this Metal Joe lost to a guy like that.”
“Kihihi! Can’t you hear what Heojeop is saying?”
Under the sunset of the wasteland, three people raised their bottles:
“Hehehe, for a life with a warm heart.”
“For a death without regrets!”
“Kihi, for old grace!!”
Bright!
The liquor, shining amber in the glow of the sunset, was as beautiful as a jewel.
