The half-wrecked car door It opened and a bloodied man tumbled out.
dump.
He was Cheon Il-nam, the leader of Team 7’s medical support team. A great man ran over and helped him up.
“Iljojang. are you okay?”
Cheon Il-nam, who stood up with the support of Daein, sighed in relief and said.
“…it’s okay. “I administered first aid with potions.”
He said it was okay, but Cheon Il-nam’s face was very pale.
Lee Cheol-jun, who had searched through the cave, asked Cheon Il-nam.
“What is all this about! “Where have all our comrades gone!!”
For a moment, Cheon Il-nam’s expression darkened. He said with a heavy sigh.
“The people here…”
*
Just a few hours ago, Cheon Il-nam was taking care of patients as usual.
All of the critically ill patients had overcome the critical condition, but the rest suffered from malnutrition and frostbite. When we fed them well and gave them appropriate treatment, most of them got better.
“Thank you! “Thank you!”
Cheon Il-nam felt great pride as a medical professional every time North Korean residents held his hand with their skinny hands and expressed their gratitude.
In fact, it was a feeling that I rarely felt when I was in Team 7.
‘The superhumans on our team don’t even get colds, let alone get hurt…’
Nevertheless, the team leader had the medical team’s car filled with top-quality potions, cutting-edge medical equipment, and expensive medicine.
It may have been in preparation for times like this.
Chun Il-nam said this to the North Korean people half-jokingly.
“Please say thank you to our team leader when he comes. “Because he didn’t cut me off, so you are receiving treatment.”
Moreover, I knew that the team leader would not say anything no matter how many expensive drugs were used on the North Korean people.
‘They’ll tell me to spend a lot of money anyway, even though it’s not my money.’
This was the time when Chun Il-nam gave expensive nutritional injections to North Korean residents, rationalizing that.
Grumble!
The moment he saw the flames rising from afar, Cheon Il-nam thought that Lily had returned.
However, after a while, what appeared in front of them were monsters they had never seen before.
“Purrrrr…”
They were trotting along, making a boiling sound, wearing human clothes and having a shape similar to that of a human.
But it wasn’t human.
Because humans don’t have fiery eyeballs,
hair made of ice
, or electricity spewing out of their mouths.
There were more than dozens of such monsters.
At that moment, the first to respond to the situation were, of course, superhumans.
“Support team! “Let the North Koreans take refuge in the cave!”
Sirutteok shouted as he grabbed his axe. At the same time, Wang Guhao came to the front.
Crash!
Wang Guho, who instantly turned into a golden giant, faced off against the monsters.
Meanwhile, Cheon Il-nam and his younger brothers let the North Koreans into the cave.
“Get in quickly!”
The evacuation took place quickly. After evacuating dozens of North Korean residents to a cave, Wang Guho blocked their path like an iron wall.
Pow! Pow! Bub bub bub!
Wang Guho was strong. He swung his fist without taking a single step back against the dozens of humanoid monsters rushing towards him.
Beside him, Sirutdeok also fought hard. Every time his ax swung, the fire spewed out by his enemies split and the ice split.
Here, people from the support team also participated in the battle. They were all trained with firearms so that they could fight in an emergency.
Ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta!
Even without Daein and Lily, Team 7 was strong.
Leaving the cave entrance behind, they formed a barricade with vehicles and fought.
Cheon Seol-ah, who was excitedly firing a machine gun on top of the equipment support team vehicle, shouted.
“I radioed the team leader, but there was no signal! “I think you’re in a cave or something.”
Although we were unable to contact the person in charge, no one seemed very worried.
“Do you think we can resolve this on our own?”
It was exactly what it said. The monsters that had attacked with great vigor had faltered, and the barricade blocking the front of the cave was solid.
That is, until screams were heard from inside the cave.
“Aaaah!”
A scream was heard from inside the cave, and after a while, monsters that looked like a mixture of half human and half mole walked out of the cave.
They were holding each North Korean’s neck in each hand.
[If you don’t surrender, I will kill all the humans inside.]
*
“Come on!”
Lee Cheol-jun grabbed Cheon Il-nam by the collar. Cheon Il-nam said with a deep sigh.
“As soon as they took the hostages, the attack, which had been slow, intensified. The number also increased. As time passed, there would eventually be deaths. So…”
Daein cut him off mid-sentence.
“I surrendered, so there’s no one left. “After that, they were all taken away by those guys.”
“…sorry.”
Cheon Il-nam bowed his head. But Daein didn’t blame him.
Because this wasn’t a problem to blame in the first place. The great man asked.
“Why wasn’t just Iljojang dragged away?”
“Siru, or Minjae, told me to disguise myself as a corpse. When the team leader comes, I need someone to explain the situation. “I happened to be injured… I fell down and pretended to be dead, and then after they left, I got into the car and treated my wound.”
It’s easy to say, but Cheon Il-nam had to pretend to be dead without treating his wounds until the enemies left, so he had to endure tremendous pain.
The children shouted excitedly.
“mister! “Let’s chase after him quickly!”
“Our comrades, just put your finger on it! “I killed them all!”
On the other hand, the adults were silent, lost in thought.
Ri Cheol-jun broke the silence and spoke with a stern expression.
“They are worth two billions.”
Lee Cheol-jun’s gaze turned in one direction. Everyone’s eyes moved along with him.
“The Duoksini capture the living and turn them into the same Duoksini.”
Oooooh!
A colorful magic barrier. Inside, Pyongyang was seen, completely isolated from the outside world.
Ri Chol-jun looked at Pyongyang with a complicated expression and spoke in a lower voice.
“If you are taken there… you can never come back. I didn’t know that they would already be out here hunting….”
“…….”
Even Daein knew.
No, he knew much more than Lee Cheol-jun.
I knew that the official name of the monster he called ‘Duoksini’ was a spirit zombie, and I also knew how they were created.
Originally, spirits could only be summoned to another world through a contract.
However, in cases like Pyongyang where part of the spirit world eroded the Earth, the situation was different.
Pyongyang today is an ambiguous space that can neither be called Earth nor the spirit world.
The spirits were stranded, unable to return to their original world, and as time passed, they had no choice but to gradually lose their strength and become weaker.
The only way to maintain strength is to replenish magical power through contractors.
However, the spirits that became contaminated by crossing dimensions chose an easier method.
It uses the human body as a host, extracts magical power from that body, and when it has absorbed it, discards it and replaces it with a new body.
The monster that was born that way was the spirit zombie.
‘I think they said it would take about 72 hours for them to turn into zombies if they were captured.’
“Iljojang. “How many hours has it been since the people were taken away?”
“About 4 hours…”
In 4 hours, we would have already entered the magic barrier. If you try to chase it now, you’ll be stopped in front of the magic barrier.
“mister.”
Lily asked with a nervous expression as she grabbed the man’s sleeve.
“Aren’t you going to go look for Hogu and Sirutteok?”
“I’m going to go find it. “Please think about it before that.”
In times like these, you shouldn’t rush. Because there haven’t been any deaths yet.
‘Can I break through the barrier with my own strength? Even if it breaks through, you will notice right away. All-out war is impossible. There are thousands of low-level spirit zombies alone, and hundreds of middle-level and high-level zombies…’
In the past, the punitive force selected to recapture Pyongyang was a multinational superhuman coalition of 120 people, including North Korea, South Korea, and China.
Among them, only 50 superhumans returned alive.
Because it was such a big incident, I only read about it in articles, and Daein was not included in the punitive force at the time.
“Hmm…”
It was when the great man frowned as he looked at the magic barrier.
“What is all this about?”
It was Abraxas who emerged through the bushes.
When she returned three days after leaving to see the magic barrier, she looked around with wide eyes.
“Has there been a fight? “Where has everyone gone?”
“As!”
Lily ran to Abraxas and told him everything that happened here.
After a while, Abraxas also changed into a serious expression.
“That’s a big deal. “You have to walk when you go back.”
Although her concerns were very out of focus, Daein decided to place his hopes on her, who had been visiting the magic barrier for three days.
“Didn’t you see people being dragged away on the way there?”
Abraxas shook his head.
“at all. “I guess our paths diverged.”
I did it just in case, but still. The great man sighed and said.
“Even if I can infiltrate through that magic barrier, I think the rest will work out somehow…”
Abraxas nodded and agreed, muttering almost to himself.
“It definitely wasn’t easy. “It took me two days to finally get in.”
“…….”
For a moment, Daein wondered if he had heard wrong. He asked back with an expression full of disbelief.
“You went in? In there? stealthily?”
At that moment, Abraxas said with a grin.
“So you thought I was just watching for three days? “There was a pretty strong guy inside, so I couldn’t go in too deep because I thought I’d get caught, but I looked around the outskirts and came out.”
“Then…”
Abraxas said with a confident expression.
“If that barrier is the problem, leave it to me. “I will open the door.”
It was a moment when the biggest problem was solved in a ridiculously simple way.
If you can infiltrate through the magic barrier, rescuing the captured team members becomes much easier.
‘No, you can do more than that.’
A sudden thought occurred to Daein and he looked back at Lee Cheoljun. As expected, he had a shocked expression on his face.
“Is that really true?”
Lee Cheol-jun, who had been listening quietly, asked in an excited voice. His eyes were shaking greatly.
The reason why Ri Chol-jun could not leave Pyongyang even though he knew it was dangerous.
Daein knew that it was to save the ‘Great Leader’ who might still be alive in Pyongyang.
‘Everyone in there has already died or turned into spirit zombies.’
Daein had no intention of shattering that hope. You will find out on your own anyway.
Instead, while Ri Cheol-jun had that hope, he planned to make the most of it.
The great man said.
“Ri Cheol-jun. “Can you contact other special forces agents?”
“What…”
Lee Cheol-jun looked confused. Daein pushed hard.
“Don’t mess around. “You can’t be the only surviving special forces agent in North Korea.”
I said it as if I had guessed, but I already knew and asked.
The 120-member multinational punitive force included several names of North Korean superhumans, including Ri Chol-jun.
“Gigan….”
“Contact everyone and gather them together.”
Pyongyang was a place that was left alone because it was too big of a pie to eat alone.
I felt like I would just pretend to eat it.
However, if the pie was already cut to some extent and there was even a fire extinguishing agent nearby, there was no reason to refuse.
Doing the same thing as rescuing the team members who were taken away….
“I will rescue my team and you will recapture Pyongyang. “What do you think? Isn’t this a good condition?”
“…….”
Lee Cheol-jun’s answer was as if it had already been decided.
A few hours later, Daein walked towards the generously prepared table.
