“The vanguard we were trying to stop has been annihilated! A demon has entered the city. The entire southern power that stood in the way of the demons has been destroyed!”
“… … .”
“Western power is breaking off the front lines!”
“Eastern power is also calling for a retreat!”
“You must give the order now! Otherwise, the ranks will collapse!”
The faces of the leaders of the Union Army became contemplative at the reports coming up every minute.
The strength of the 9A monster that appeared in Beijing, the world’s official name plus the plus stage monster, was beyond imagination.
All border networks prepared by the Union Army were neutralized. No, it was right to say that I did not delay the road in the slightest. The awakenings of the Union Army, who were overwhelmed by the Confederate Army, felt the primal fear of the 9A monster.
It was a walking disaster in itself.
“… … .”
Wei Hao felt infinitely humble in front of that monster.
“You have to step back.”
“Where?”
“Anywhere!”
“The moment we leave this place, our future disappears.”
“So you’re going to give up everything?”
“… … .”
At Li Zhenhuo’s urging, Wei Hao was unable to speak.
It turned out that the Union Army could not stop the 9A monster. As long as the war with the Confederates is not over, the future can only be achieved by conserving our forces.
So what about the 15 million remaining citizens in Beijing?
If we abandoned this place, it meant that we had to throw all those people as food for the monsters.
Although of ethnic minority, Yu Hao has dedicated everything to the glory of China. He only hated the leadership of the party and had no doubts that he would sacrifice everything for the people.
However, in front of the 9A monster, he was just a frightened and humble awakening.
“Wow!”
“My, I go and buy my time… … .”
“You buy time against that monster? That’s just dog death! Wow! Don’t forget we have to do bigger things! Our stake is too much to lay down our lives for your frugal sense of justice!”
Li Zhenhuo, who was screaming as if he was going to grab her by the neck, could not say anything.
He was right. When he dies, the leadership of the Union Army will be scattered like grains of sand. The party must have intended that and sent demons here.
To keep 15 million citizens hostage and watch his choices. If you try to protect your citizens, you will be put to death, and if you abandon them and run away, you will be ridiculed and ridiculed for the rest of your life.
The moment he entered Beijing excitedly because he had vacated Beijing, he fell into a trap prepared by the party.
It was easy to give up one’s life when he was a superman, but as more and more people follow him, his life is no longer his.
“This may also be just an excuse.”
Power is a monster that changes people. He was ready to lay down his life like a scorpion, but under the guise of a cause, he became desperate to save his life.
What is the difference between you and the high-ranking figures of the party you hate the most?
Enduring the rush of nausea, Wei Hao closed his eyes. compromised with reality.
“… Branch.”
“Everyone leaves.”
With Li Zhenhuo’s cry, the Union Army leaders quickly escaped Zhongnanhai and withdrew to the north.
The city was abysmal. When they realized that the Union Army had not been able to stop the monster, the citizens were packing their own bags and living on their own.
Even though everyone knew he was crazy, he seemed to be blaming himself.
“… … .”
Just as he was about to leave Beijing, Yu Hao’s superhuman vision caught the eye of a monster.
The size of the monster in the shape of a pangolin was over 30m in size, and a purple cloud of fog surrounded the monster.
When demons destroy a city, it does not mean that they kill everyone in the city. This refers to a situation in which the city defense function is neutralized and the monster can no longer be restrained.
In this case, the city is destroyed, but many of its citizens are unharmed.
However, the 9A monster that appeared now transcended common sense.
────!
The moment Howling stretched out with a terrifying force, the space itself began to twist. At the moment when a crack occurred in the space with a sense that the axis of the world was shifted, the purple mist hovering around the monster covered the city at a fierce speed.
Passage!
The entire visible space was covered in a purple mist. And it couldn’t stand it and it corroded and shattered into pieces. Can a person survive in me? It was hard to imagine how many people would have died in there.
“You must go.”
Wei Hao could barely take his eyes off Li Zhenhuo’s touch. Even when he turned his head, he had the illusion that the monster was staring at him.
Who can deal with that ‘disaster’?
A distant despair enveloped Yu Hao.
* * *
I was still dissatisfied with the dog.
No matter how hard it is, the monster-like guy can’t be tough.
If you are a monster, shouldn’t you show a vicious appearance as you are? In that respect, the dog was less aggressive than most Awakeners.
By the way.
I found out that I was overlooking one thing about dogs.
This guy specializes in survival.
Recently, he felt that his eyes were not very good, so he moved diligently and tried to carry out my orders perfectly.
It was an action that was strictly according to my will rather than voluntary.
“Does survival instinct prevail over inclination?”
[Because I have to live first. The only thing I gain from meeting a scary owner is my eyes.]
If I struggle to survive and improve, it doesn’t matter to me.
Is this really going to change? You could even change your inclination to live.
“There is no need to open the chest.”
[Can you just listen carefully? That’s instinct, regardless of reason.]
“It is.”
I put my nose on the ground and shouted at the dog who was searching for other monsters.
“let’s go!”
bruise!
The hunting results were pretty good.
Returning to Seoul, I faced Jin Se-jeong.
When I talk to Jin Se-jeong, I am always amazed. I would point out things I hadn’t thought of at all and turn them into great opportunities.
Why did this talented person quit his job?
“I was just a little tired. It’s like politics.”
I thought that the idol world that made Jin Se-jeong leave is amazing.
“It’s fun now. Even if the fields are different, I realize that this kind of integration is possible.”
Today, I heard a Japanese speech about a dog.
“Dogs are a great way to elevate the image of Superin!”
Have you even heard from Lee Se-hee? He started talking to me about the advantages of dog dogs.
Although the dog’s size is distracting, he is still a young boy, so he has an innocent appearance. Although it is large in human terms, it can be said that the face is cute.
“The story of a superin-nim saving a dog that was almost eaten by a predator, and a dog struggling to repay the superin-nim for his favor, impresses people deeply. He was given a warmth that he had never seen before.”
“It’s not really warm.”
“Even so, there’s no reason to go ahead and say no, right?”
That’s not wrong again.
When I nodded, Sejeong Jin laid out the things that could be made into an image with a dog.
I didn’t know they were even selling goods. Was the dog cute enough to appeal to people?
“Actually, monsters of that size are rare. Cute monsters are also rare. There are very few tamed monsters. When a lot of unusual elements overlap, it has to be special.”
All of those things I didn’t care about.
“All right. We will do our best to educate the dogs.”
“yes? Ah yes! That’s fortunate. and… … .”
At that moment, a loud emergency bell rang from the smartphone. It wasn’t just me, it was the same with Jin Se-jeong’s smartphone. Usually, in this case, it happens in a disaster such as an emergency evacuation situation, so I wanted something.
Jin Se-jeong’s voice, who unlocked the smartphone before me, was split.
“Beijing disappears… … ?”
China’s capital of 15 million people has disappeared? It is a place where countless people died due to the appearance of monsters, but the old glory was maintained.
I heard that the North Koreans occupied it a while ago, but it’s unexpected.
Jin Se-jeong exclaimed with a contemplative face.
“A monster attack is here! For the first time in the world, plus plus monsters have attacked Beijing!”
“It’s a two-horned monster.”
It appeared much earlier than I knew. Yong-yong, who was listening quietly, said with a look that was hard to believe.
[How did it appear? That usually doesn’t show up.]
At the very least, it can only appear if you obtain something from the divine beast.
Yong-yong, you are underestimating the power of human beings. If Japan created the essence of an artificial divine beast, it is possible for China to create a two-horned monster.
[Do humans do that?]
There may be flaws, but it is possible to imitate them.
[How do you know that?]
There’s no reason to say that you’ve seen it from the future.
I looked at Jin Se-jeong as Yong-yong, who was showing his curiosity, shed his words.
“Beijing’s extinction means it can’t stop it on its own.”
“Yeah, that’s right. If so, all you can do at that point is to ask Superman for salvation!”
“I will.”
Perhaps the courtship is quite desperate.
Since our territory is close to Beijing, we will have to take action.
In this case, going north might not help.
I said to Jin Se-jeong, who was thinking.
“The manager has work to do.”
“Yes, please tell me.”
“The appearance of this two-horned monster will be different from dealing with existing monsters.”
Why would you say that Beijing is annihilated rather than destroyed?
This is because the two-horned monster can kill all humans in the city in a short period of time.
A level monster that can literally bring about an end. What can the guys who made it and released it to the world hold it to be pretty?
Even if the Union soldiers were different, it was clear that the people in that country would do the same thing with a similar mindset in the same situation.
The only thing that could be markedly different would be me and the degree of hematoma.
“I will ask for help to deal with this monster.”
“yes.”
“It will be very expensive.”
“… … .”
“The team leader just needs to think about how I can move at the most expensive price.”
Jin Se-jeong was startled.
I think I said it right, did you not understand it correctly?
“Is it expensive? But negotiating would kill more people… … .”
“Then wouldn’t it be more expensive?”
[Wow!]
“… … .”
“Can I leave this part to the manager? It doesn’t matter if you say you can’t.”
I waited for Jin Se-jeong’s silent answer. It doesn’t matter what choice you make. Even if it’s not like this, it doesn’t change that you’re someone who helps me.
“If the decision is difficult, you can give up.”
“What if I do?”
“I try to reflect the opinions of the team leader as much as possible.”
“ah… … .”
“Would you like to try it?”
“First, let’s think about it first.”
“You can give up at any time.”
“… yes.”
There was no strength in Jin Se-jeong’s voice as she answered.
* * *
When Choi Jun-ho went out and was left alone, Jin Se-jeong collapsed as it was.
I’ve known for a long time that the person I’m dealing with is an unusual person. Headbreaker, the world’s greatest genius, the world’s strongest awakener, etc.
It was fun to assist him in image making, and to take the initiative in the midst of various nobles and gatherings. The working environment, the salary, and the encounter with a powerful person whom I had never seen before gave me a high level of satisfaction.
But it was not the same as now.
“… … .”
Jin Se-jeong looked at the smartphone screen with trembling hands.
The news of the appearance of a plus-plus stage monster and the word of the disappearance of Beijing engraved deep in my mind.
When a monster invades a city, the scary thing is that it neutralizes the city’s defense capabilities. This will allow the attack of the 2nd and 3rd monsters.
Citizens are exposed defenseless and without any protection in front of them.
Jin Se-jeong had seen the city trampled by monsters. Belatedly, the awakened came and hunted the monster, but in a short time, countless people died.
Then I realized People like myself without power are just consumables that die helplessly the moment those with power hesitate for a moment.
Perhaps Beijing was in the same situation as he saw it.
However, Choi Jun-ho talked about the high price.
Raising the price is simple. You just have to make your opponent wear out more.
Wearing a child here means more cities in China being destroyed and more people dying.

Make this your own decision?
How many people will die in the meantime?
This was Choi Jun-ho’s test. If you give up, it will be easier, but you will no longer be able to intervene deeply in the affairs of Choi Jun-ho in the future.
Jin Se-jeong saw the smartphone screen tremble. No, it was his own hand that was shaking.
“I… … .”
Jin Se-jeong closed her eyes tightly amid the raging emotions.
