Episode 171. Bear & Crow (2)
Tata-tang— Tattang—
The first gunshot fired from Jack made the surroundings noisy. It became a melee as bullets flew from here and there and got stuck in the box.
What was inside the various boxes was heavy.
“Uracha—!”
Quaang—! Tata-tang— Tata-tang—
Jack blew away such a heavy pile of boxes with a torso headbutt to enter and capture the enemy’s rearguard.
However, it was not easy to deal with a large number armed with a single body. Gradually, the barrage of enemy bullets pouring in around Jack intensified.
That was the moment.
click—
With the sound of a switch dropping, the windowless warehouse became dark.
“what! Someone put out the fire!”
“Turn on quickly!”
“Everyone stop shooting! don’t shoot! Your ally might be right!”
“Quickly turn on the lights!”
The men’s cries rang out loudly.
In the gap, a heavy sound echoed through the darkness.
Puff-Puff-Puff-Puff-
Quaang—
“Gagging!”
“Keugh—!”
The men’s screams echoed through the harsh sounds.
It was the work of Simon and Jack. The same goes for the lighting in the warehouse. They had tricked the mains under the pretense of inspecting the electrical system.
Push- Push-
Simon quickly climbed over the box and knocked the men down, firing his silenced pistol. Fists and kicks pierced the men’s vitals even in the dark.
Puppuck— Puppuck—
‘How many people are there?’
Maybe all the distribution center workers were enemies.
However, there was nothing suspicious about the distribution center on the surface. Of course, it was difficult to think about it for a long time until now.

While fighting takes place in the dark.
Walter Schmitz, who was in charge of this incident, was surrounded by his men and let out a sigh.
“You can only go this far against just two guys!”
His right-hand man, Franz Neumann, who was observing the situation from the side, replied with a pistol in his hand.
“Chief, you’d better get out of here now.”
“I didn’t expect to come in disguised as PGE… … .”
“Chief, the situation is not good.”
Even now, the screams of our allies continued to reverberate through the warehouse in the dark.
Tata-tang— Tata-tang—
In the end, there were also those who could not bear the fear and fired guns.
The light flashed from moment to moment, making it difficult to get used to the darkness.
“What about fire? Why haven’t you come in yet!”
“I requested it, but it seems that it is still being checked. Anyway, getting out… … .”
Quaang—!
At that moment, the boxes piled up next to it collapsed and a huge man jumped out.
It was Jack Cortez. As his figure loomed in the dark, the men quickly turned their pistols.
Tattang— Tattang— Tattang—
“what? Where have you been?”
Obviously, the huge man in front of me disappeared in an instant.
Surprised, they looked around with their eyes closed again.
chin-
At that time, Jack grabbed the man’s face as if he were about to attack him with his large hand, and pressed it down. As if a huge beast had attacked a group of hunters, the camp was disturbed.
“Where is the bastard you said bald earlier?”
At the thick voice, they were startled and turned. A light flashed along with the gunfire, revealing Jack’s large figure right in front of his eyes.
Walter Schmitz, who had retreated from the back while being protected by his men, shouted.
“Kill me right now!”
Originally, I planned to catch it. However, the skill of the enemy they faced exceeded their expectations.
In addition, it was not enough to enter the center disguised as PGE, and even cut off the power supply to the lighting.
The men fired at the spot where Jack was standing. The life or death of the ally he had just captured did not matter. Killing the enemy right away was the first priority.
At that moment, Simon climbed over the box and attacked the men from behind.
Tata-tang- Tata-tang- Tata-tang-
Puck— Quadang!
The men who lost their posture fired their guns in the wrong direction. The bullets flashed around as sparks flew across the floor, walls and ceiling.
“That way!”
“Go quickly!”
A few people grabbed emergency flashlights from the warehouse walls and they shined in all directions.
I ran towards the place where the gunfire was concentrated for a while. Stacks of boxes were shattered here and there.
As we got to the place where Chief Walter Schmitz was, the surroundings were lit up a bit with a flashlight.
“Chief! Are you okay?”
Franz Neumann, who guarded Walter Schmitz by his side, was also full of worries.
“Where have they gone?”
“Mo, I don’t know. I must have been around until just now… … .”
While listening to his subordinates’ explanation, Franz Neumann took a flashlight and looked around. I could see the immobile figures on the floor or on the box.
It was understood that there were two enemies. One was as swift as the wind, the other wild as a beast.
It was clear even though it was a brief moment of flashing from a ricochet.
In the meantime, Walter Schmitz stood up, gritted his teeth, checked the condition of the pistol and asked the subordinate who had just arrived.
“Are all seven of you left in the warehouse?”
A total of nine people were present, including Walter Schmitz and Franz Neumann.
However, the subordinate’s reaction was strange.
“… yes? What do you mean?”
“what?”
“We are six—”
Tattang— Tattang— Tattang—
Gunfire erupted between them before the subordinate, who intuited the ominousness, could finish his words.
The subordinate in the middle quickly fired pistols in both hands.
There was no room to dodge or block. While everyone was collapsing, Walter Schmitz and Franz Neumann raised their pistols that had been a little away.
Jaw— Kwajijik—!
At that moment, a large hand came out from behind and grabbed their handguns.
It was Jack Cortez.
“aaagh—!”
“You bastard, what is it!”
The screams of Walter Schmidt and Franz Neumann echoed with a bone-crunching sound.
Of course, the two were not alone. With the other hand, he took the knife from his thigh and raised it and swung it.
Tattang—
At that moment, Simon, who had knocked the other men down with a gun, pierced the wrists holding the swords of the two men with a bullet.
“evil-!”
“Kuk!”
The knife fell to the floor with a scream.
Then Jack spoke to Franz Neumann.
“Is it you? The bastard who called me bald… … .”
Jack’s head was still covered with a bald wig. No matter how firmly Simon fixed it, even though he moved quite violently, there was not a single disturbance.
Only the hair on the side of the bald wig was severely disheveled like a falcon.
Jack tossed Walter Schmitz to Simon, then glared at Franz Neumann.
“It’s noisy and makes you faint. The one I gave you-“
pug-
In an instant, Franz Neumann’s waist bent forward as if it were folded in half. Jack had thrust his fist into his stomach.
“… yeah, i forgot If it’s his fist, it’s possible. Let’s get out of here for now.”
Walter Schmitz, who was listening to their conversation, gave up.
“You guys here—”
Simon took a syringe from his pocket and inserted it down Walter Schmitz’s throat.
Walter Schmitz was speechless and passed out. In response, Simon gave an injection to Franz Neumann just in case and looked around.
Then, I shone a flashlight on the men who fell to the floor to check their forearms.
“These are the Scarlet Knights.”
It was a silver sword tattoo drawn in the middle of a crimson-based shield.
Simon had seen it in person, so he confirmed it with a picture Kangsu had taken before. Seeing it made me feel welcome.
Others had tattoos like him.
A sigh escaped Simon’s mouth after confirming it.
“Whoa—I have to leave now. I’ll cover you. You both come in.”
“Can I take off my wig?”
“no.”
“… Chet!”
It was because if the entire distribution center was a shelter, there might be CCTVs running on separate power.
First of all, it was highly likely that the distribution center was a separate place, as long as the electricity in the warehouse was still unavailable. Or maybe he was infiltrating the center and waiting… … .
Simon and Jack took the two of them out through the other warehouse door. The hallway was empty, probably because people had evacuated because of the gunfire.
eee
Just then, a loud siren could be heard faintly from outside. the police came
“Isn’t it difficult to escape in a car?”
The distribution center was halfway up the mountain. Of course, there was only one entrance, so if you ran away by car, you had no choice but to run into it.
“I can’t help it.”
Simon took his phone out of his pocket and walked somewhere. I thought it sounded like a signal, but suddenly there was a huge sound from outside.
Kwak-kwam!
It was an explosion. An evidence-destroying bomb that had been planted in the car had exploded.
“Did you blow it up?”
“It doesn’t matter. Because we shouldn’t leave evidence as much as possible.”
Simon took the lead and went ahead, looking at the road.

how much time has passed
Walter Schmitz slowly opened his eyes and looked at the water-clattering floor with blurred vision.
The dampness opened his eyes.
“hmm-? Hey, this is… … ?”
Walter Schmitz was stunned. Then a man’s face came to mind. The last thing he remembered was the man injecting himself with drugs.
churrr—
I tried to get up, but I found long chains hanging around my neck, waist, wrists, and ankles. And the end of the chain was firmly anchored to the floor, and it did not budge.
“What is this?”
Even the clothes were changed into something connected top and bottom.
“Ugh—”
Walter Schmitz felt pain in the back of his left shoulder. When I touched it with my hand, it was stained with blood as if it had been wounded.
“no way… … .”
Then Simon’s voice came from the darkness far away.
“I didn’t know that you could plant a tracker inside a person’s body. I really just wanted to check it out just in case. They even prepared for kidnapping.”
“Uh, how… . Who the hell are you guys!”
The distribution center was not a hideout from the beginning. It was the coordinates for a trap that had been planted since ancient times in preparation for an unexpected enemy appearance. And Walter Schmitz was the chief responsible for that trap.
Of course, there were also distractions. In such a situation, I didn’t expect that Simon and Jack were disguised as PGE right before they revealed their identities, and that they even used their hands on electrical devices in the meantime.
Still, in case of an unexpected situation, they even planted a device on the bodies of those who were put into the trap.
But I didn’t know that it would even get caught.
In response, Simon said without revealing his face in the dark.
“What if you guys are curious? I wouldn’t be able to go out and talk.”
“aaagh—!”
All operations were in vain.
Walter Schmitz, who was sighing, couldn’t contain his anger.
Then, a sound of chains was heard from a distance and someone stood up.
It was Franz Neumann. In a state of fainting from being hit in the abdomen by Jack, I finally woke up after getting an injection as a bonus.
“Here is… … .”
“Franz!”
“Chi, Chief? Big!”
Quadang—
Franz Neumann found Walter Schmitz and tried to approach him, but was caught in chains and knocked over.
Seeing that, Simon shook his head and murmured.
“I took a very sinpa and sat down.”
“… What is Shinpa?”
Jack heard Simon’s words from behind and asked back.
“Tsk—there is such a thing.”
“The wig… … .”
“no.”
“… … .”
It was definitely a state of capturing them, but it was because I had to prepare for the unexpected. So, Simon and Jack didn’t erase the makeup they did at first.
