Chapter 114
4.
One of the S-class fields that only exist in Korea so far.
Kim Seong-soo, who lives in the military in a barracks located next to a huge field with a radius of more than 10 km across the DMZ, was smoking outside after finishing his night shift at dawn.
“after. Write your life.”
How surprised I was at first when the order to move to a place bordering on North Korea was issued.
It is unfair that I was dragged into my life, but am I going to end my life as a cannon fodder who will be the first to die if a war breaks out like this?
It’s been less than half a year since I came, but I couldn’t find such worries.
“The real front is sweet.”
In the past, soldiers on duty at the front would not have been able to comfortably spend a day in the military.
You would have to go up to the front guard post every cycle and work shifts day and night due to North Korea’s provocations that could explode at any moment.
In addition, even if it is a simple threat, if a few missiles go off, the vacation is controlled for several weeks.
I enlisted after hearing such words, but the reality was not like that at all.
The front was literally honey among honey.
“There is no need to stand guard because of the field. It’s a field here and there, so unless you’re crazy, you won’t come down to fight.”
There is no research on exactly what happens when you attack the field.
Even if you shoot missiles and explode bombs, the barriers in the field are intact, so you live thinking that there will be no danger of monsters exploding, but you can’t be sure what will happen to the field in the field of battle when a real war breaks out.
Neither North Korea nor South Korea paid much attention to it compared to before.
So, I am comfortable at work.
What are you doing on this vacation?
Seongsu Kim, who was drinking 300 won coffee and looking outside the unit, saw something flashing.
“uh?”
Not a place for people to be.
There are no private houses nearby.
who comes to play?
There is absolutely no reason to come here unless you are a person who is going to play in North Korea.
In addition, the place where the light bursts out is a place that Kim Seong-soo knows well.
“That’s the entrance to the S-class field over there?”
It’s hidden in the dark, but how can you not know?
Every day when I wake up, when I wake up in the morning, when I go to eat, eat lunch, during training, and when I have free time in the evening.
I can tell because I’ve seen it more than twelve times a day.
“Ughhh! what! Did it explode?”
The light got bigger and bigger.
Light pours out as if something bursts from the entrance.
I couldn’t even smoke half a cigarette, but I threw away the butt and rushed to the administrative unit.
“what. Private Kim. If you have a shift, you should go to bed early. did you fall for it already? Do you want to go back?”
A fairly close officer on duty laughed and reprimanded me.
Normally, I would have laughed hehehe and flattered him, but now it wasn’t that important.
“Deputy Platoon Commander! It’s a big deal! The S-class field explodes!”
“What bullsh*t. go to bed and sleep Why does the S-class field explode?”
“It’s true!”
The reaction of the officer on duty and deputy platoon commander Kim Seong-soo was a very natural one.
The S-class field was created when the field appeared and has been there for almost 5 years.
There is no way it could explode overnight without a warning.
Besides, if there had been an explosion, there could have been no sound from the barracks right next to it.
“… … Really?”
However, Kim Sung-soo’s reaction seemed too genuine to dismiss it as bullsh*t.
What kind of crazy Private First Class would tell such a lie to an officer on duty at night?
I got up with a heavy body.
“where are you. You’re really no big deal… … .”
As soon as I opened the door and left, a light came into the deputy platoon commander’s eyes.
“omg! what! that!”
“It got bigger! Aww. Doesn’t that just explode?”
The light that burst out of the entrance was covering all sides before I knew it.
The deputy platoon commander hurriedly stepped back.
“Hey, hey. Report quickly. Report to the branch office!”
At night, the troop turned upside down.
“ah. Shiba. Why, when I’m on duty… … .”
Reports quickly went up to the battalion’s control room and went straight up to the division.
The change of the S-class field is a very sensitive issue.
Even in a field where no one enters, one monster living there has the power to lead to a national crisis right now.
“The division commander is coming in person!”
“… … .”
“The corps commander is coming too!”
The deputy platoon commander frowned at the thought that the change in the S-class field and that military life was definitely twisted.
Starting with the division commander at night, the stars gather.
“Come slowly, yes… … .”
But late at night, the S-class field, which is closer than the fast-running stars, shone first.
“aaa!”
The light suddenly covered the unit.
No, it covered not only the troops but also the entire area around the field.
It is a field with a radius of more than 10 km.
The brilliant light was also captured from the satellite.
* * *
“Breaking news. At 3:44, news came that a strange light was covering the S-class field across the Demilitarized Zone located in Paju, Gyeonggi-do. In the video of the informant, the light that started pouring out from the entrance of the S-class field soon colored the surroundings, and eventually led to a situation where the entire field barrier was covered.”
This is what appeared on the main news bulletin.
The light was brilliant and gigantic, even though it was only seen through the video.
“The light did not have any special killing power and disappeared naturally after emitting light for about 50 minutes.”
Compared to the surprising news, the content was not very threatening.
“Soldiers from some of the areas exposed to the light are moving to a nearby hospital for examination… … .”
A sudden happening.
Something that should end like this.
But there is a reason why it appears in the main news.
“Surprisingly, after the light disappeared, the S-class field was said to have disappeared.”
Light wasn’t important.
Light was a shiny shell, and what it did was amazing.
“We are investigating whether there are any monsters from the S-class field and whether there is any aftermath of the extinction… … .”
Because the field itself was so wide, it was not possible to block and search the entire area.
Fortunately, the field itself is located across from North Korea, so there is no need to look around the field as a whole.
There were numerous craters in the location where the S-class field, taken from above through a helicopter, was difficult to find.
“The user association’s position is that the monster has not been found, but it is not yet safe… … yes? Breaking news! It is said that a person was found where the S-class field used to be. This user was inside the demilitarized zone and surrendered without any resistance at the time of discovery. We will connect you on the spot.”
The urgent reporter’s words and the passing screen.
Many reporters were on the move.
It was originally a place that had been in an S-class field for many years, so everyone was anxious and cautious while moving.
“What the hell is this?”
Hyeji Kim, who woke up after hearing the news, put a pack on her face and clicked her tongue.
The disappearance of the S-class field.
This is particularly shocking news for users as well as for the general public.
Because the field was a place for users to live and a source of money.
A blue ocean that no one has touched yet.
Why did the S-class field disappear?
Is it natural extinction?
“If there is a user, there is a high possibility that it is the user’s work. right?”
“It’s one person. Are the rest dead?”
“Is there a raid group in Korea that can attack the S-class field? however?”
“… … .”
Despite discussions, no answer came out.
Above all, it was a different aspect from the existing field.
“Did you catch the field boss? But what about the disappearance of the field?”
“I don’t know.”
Since there was no information about the S-class field itself, I had no choice but to focus on what I could see.
rising sun.
A single user standing alone in the Demilitarized Zone as the morning dawns.
“What the hell are you doing, even your face… … uh?”
“… … .”
Kim Hye-ji and Kim Sang-wook, who were watching the news, approached the TV with frowns.
It was taken from a distance, so I couldn’t see it closely, but it was a familiar face.
“Isn’t that the main character?”
“… … Do you think that’s right?”
“Why is he over there?”
It was definitely Yu Ju-yeon who was surrendering with both hands raised.
And Kim Hye-ji, who knew Yoo Ju-yeon well, could tell.
Two hands holding each other with a bright smile.
“Where do you see that you are surrendering?”
“I know.”
“I think you’re just saying hello to the helicopter?”
Soldiers point their weapons at each other and a standoff ensues.
Someone comes forward and says something to Juyeon Yoo, and Juyeon Yoo nods and tries to move.
The guns of the soldiers turn to something other than Yoo Ju-yeon.
“Huh?”
the other side.
Strangers in military uniforms running.
With the appearance of the North Korean army, the news of the inter-Korean confrontation in the Demilitarized Zone was broadcast as it was.
* * *
“You dare invade North Korea? Are you going to war?”
“It’s not like that. The S-class field has suddenly disappeared and I’m only here to investigate the reason. Aren’t we the ones who notified North Korea?”
“It’s done. Leave him behind and go!”
The North Korean soldiers’ guns were pointed at Yu Ju-yeon.
North Korea also noticed to some extent.
About the changes in the S-class field and why.
I don’t know the details, but it’s enough to investigate so that I can know more in the future.
Yoo Ju-yeon frowned at North Korea’s interest and stuck to a manager named Han.
“what. Why are these people like that? awfully.”
Yoo Joo-yeon went to the army.
I have a natural reluctance toward North Korea, but I was a bit scared when I said it as if I was going to be dragged away by the North Korean army.
“Do not worry. We will protect you.”
“ah. There is no need to protect it, but before I try my hand, do something.”
“… … .”
Manager Han got goosebumps at Yoo Ju-yeon’s words.
That was right.
Who is protecting whom?
Right now, the user who may have destroyed the S-class field is right in front of you.
What if you use your hands?
An all-out war with North Korea is not unusual.
“After investigating on our side, we will share everything. How would you like to retreat without much friction?”
“Shut up! Leave him off our land right now, before we shoot that wicked cockroach!”
I persuaded him with a desperate heart, but I did not intend to narrow the gap of opinion.
It was a very urgent situation, so it was a problem that we came in before enough discussion with North Korea.
If it had been South Korea, it might have ended in tension, but the place where Yoo Ju-yeon is standing is a place that was once North Korea.
The boundary line has been blurred for more than 5 years since the S-class field entered, but it is correct to say that the boundary of the land has come back to life as long as the field has disappeared.
The standoff has been quite long.
30 minutes. 1 hours.
Yu Ju-yeon sighed and looked at Han in the midst of tension that would not be strange even if someone fired first.
“Chief Han.”
“yes.”
“Is what you just said true?”
“… … what.”
“If you become a member of the user association, you will be able to take care of all the troublesome and irritating things.”
“ah. yes. of course. that’s later… … .”
“That’s all right. I will go home soon.”
Yu Ju-yeon, who drew her sword, uses the copied skill with the remaining 1 copy count.
“Summary execution.”
Let’s move in front of the feared North Korean army in an instant, bullets are pouring.
