Episode 179. Beta (2)
Sasasak— Sasasak—
A bleak sound echoes through the dark forest. And the four men, in a diamond formation, kept a regular interval and ran quickly through the sloping forest until they stopped.
Chijik—
[Here Fox. Right Clear Sir. Over.]
[Here Wolf. Left Clear Sir. Over.]
[Here Zebra. Back Clear Sir. Over.]
The men exchanged radio calls through earphones.
Then Shane, who was in charge of the front vertex, radioed after checking.
“Here Rion. All Copy that. Center Clear. Go way.”
The four of them, who stopped for a moment, ran again by Shane’s radio call.
‘What is this place, is the police line tape hanging in the middle of the branches?’
It was the yellow tape used by the police. I saw this tape a lot on my way up just now.
‘A tennis court this time?’
As the forest ended, barbed wire came out. Shane and his teammates were puzzled by the old building and the tennis court beyond.
Chijik—
[Here Fox. There is a popular chuck on the right. Over.]
Ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
Everyone clung to the tree and checked directions on Luke’s radio.
In the darkness, a human figure could be seen dimly through the trees. Little by little I wondered what to do.
First of all, since it was a place without a single street light and it was beyond the translucent vinyl, only the shape could be judged even with eyes accustomed to the darkness.
In response, Shane tapped the microphone part of the earphone.
tuk tuk—
It was a signal to wait.
First of all, I didn’t know how many enemies there were. I didn’t carelessly imagine. We had to operate on the assumption that visible enemies could still appear at any time.
Tuk, tuk tuk—
When another signal was given, Blake and Jayden broke away toward the building.
At that time, Shane, the captain, approached with a pistol along with Luke, and quickly ran past the boundary of the wall and shot at the human figure.
Papak— Pak—
The bullets that passed through the silencer were two shots to the chest and one to the head.
However, the person with the bullet stuck did not fall down. At the same time, there was no reaction from the surroundings.
Chijik—
[Here Fox. All Clear Sir. Over.]
Luke, who moved in the opposite direction at regular intervals, also received a radio message saying that there was no problem around him.
At this, Shane, who was hiding behind a wall, slowly approached In-young, whom he had shot with his own gun.
The distance got closer, and the human figure became visible even in the dark.
At the same time, Shane couldn’t help but frown.
‘Clifford… … .’
Clifford, who had disappeared with Bernard, was wriggling, gagged and bound to a post.
Shane knew who In-young was even before he fired the gun. It was a decoy for anyone to see, so I tried to kill it on purpose and check the enemy’s movements.
However, even though the bait died, there was no reaction from the surroundings.
As the sense of incongruity lingered, Shane swept his white hair once and radioed.
Chijik—
“Calling Wolf. Calling Wolf. Here Rion.”
[Here Wolf.]
“Has the building been confirmed? Over.”
[Nothing wrong with the outside, the inside can’t be confirmed because the windows are covered. Over.]
“Here, Clifford was baited and shot. Over.”
[Roger—. Wolf, Zebra will enter the building. Over.]
“Copy That.”
After the radio call, Shane looked around again with Luke.
The van parked nearby was empty. Shane carefully opened the door and examined it, but nothing came out.
Chijik—
[Here Wolf—! Found Bernard and Gregory inside the building. Died. repeat Bernard and Gregory are dead. Over.]
“How long do you think it’s been since he died?”
If you kill a lot of people, you will naturally learn things like rigor mortis, morbidity, and blood hardness.
[It doesn’t seem like it’s been that long since the blood hasn’t hardened.]
Clifford stood up like a scarecrow. Bernard and Gregory are dead inside the building… . Blake’s urgent voice sent Shane’s head busy.
According to Shane’s long experience, there was only one option.
“retreat! All members retreat to the south!”
After shouting that, Shane left the tennis court and entered the sloping forest with Luke without waiting for the others.
But that was only for a moment.
Tang— Tattang— Tang—
Suddenly, a gunshot rang out from behind Shane. This is the direction of the tennis court.
Shane and Luke were stunned. At this, Shane got on the radio.
“Wolf! I look forward to seeing the situation.”

No response came through the earphones.
Shane’s expression becomes serious when he realizes that something is wrong.
“Retreat like this—”
I was looking down the mountain again.
However, dozens of flashlights flashing in the distance below flashed up through the cracks in the trees.
The surroundings are besieged. The siege was getting closer and closer.
Shane and Luke stopped going straight down and ran down the road that sloped east.
eh-
At that moment, a loud sound rang out from the dark sky. I couldn’t see exactly what it was, but I could guess.
“… drone?”
Still no radio from Blake or Jaden. It was clear what had happened.
As they continued to run, Luke shouted at Shane.
“The siege continues. Looks like we got it right.”
If they continued running like this to avoid the encirclement, they would be more closely surrounded at the top.
After thinking about it quickly, Shane made a decision.
“Break through. Cover.”
“Ah, I see.”
It was a mistake to bring only a pistol and a knife to focus on covert maneuvers. Because of that, I had to overcome the current situation with only a pistol.
Shane hid behind a tree, checked the condition of his pistol, and then got into a firing position.
At that time, Luke, who had retreated a little further away, fired his gun at the approaching Flash.
Tang— Tang—
I even removed the silencer for cover and attention.
At the same time, several flashes fell and veered toward Luke.
At that moment, Shane also came out from behind the tree and ran low to the enemy.
Tada dda—
The enemies were all fully armed with rifles and dressed in dark suits. Shane rushed into the crowd, swung wide with a pistol in his right hand and a dagger in his left.
Puff*ck—Tattang!
“Enemies! catch!”
“Ah-!”
With the dagger, Shane aimed only at the thighs, inside of the elbow, and neck that were not covered by the body armor, helmet, and mask, and fired with the pistol whenever he opened the distance.
Tata-tang— Tata-tang—
From nob le mt l dot com
No one was able to catch Shane in the barrel that raged among the crew like a storm.
Tadadada—!
As the chaos increased, only more people fell to the dirt floor as knives and guns were rampant.
Of course, the armed men were not fools either. I tried to get out of the gap and aim for Shane.
Tata-tang— Tattang!
At that moment, Luke, who had been shooting cover, approached and killed the crew members while closing the distance.
“That way!”
From the other direction, the cries of the crew members who were narrowing the siege could be heard.
At that time, Shane detonated the smoke grenade he had taken from the crew in a fairly well-organized gap.
Chee Hee Hee—
Several fires continued to explode, and the forest became thick with smoke in an instant.
In the meantime, Shane and Luke started descending the mountain at high speed.
Quaang—!
There was a loud bang from the side they had just come out of. The grenade trap, which was designed to explode when the body of the crew was lifted, was activated.
“Ku-k-k-k-”
Shane laughed involuntarily. It was a funeral song for the dead comrades.
“Captain, I think we can go down like this.”
“National Intelligence Service… . They are the ones who set the trap with that bugger!”
“Are they the NIS?”
The costumes and equipment were professional. In the first place, in a country where firearms were not legalized, it had to be a national organization to become the armed forces that just fought.
In addition, Shane stole the crew members’ radios while setting traps with grenades earlier.
Chijik—
[This is Tower. Report the situation! What was the binge drinking just now?]
[This is Wood ONE. The southern team has been destroyed by enemies. repeat The south team has been defeated by enemies. The smoke grenade exploded, making tracking difficult.]
The radio that conveyed such information was marked with the initials of the National Intelligence Service, ‘NIS’.
Shane sighed as he showed it to Luke.
“Even if you get caught, you got it right.”
“Then doesn’t that mean that the National Intelligence Service has noticed our organization?”
Everything from work in Poland to IP and wiretapping was bait.
As Shane went down the mountain, he stopped to report to Kurt Herringen on his cell phone. Luke, who was running alongside him, was also surprised and had no choice but to stop.
“Why is that—”
Luke heard footsteps as he spoke.
Jerk-bucks, jerk-
It was Kang-soo wearing a mask.
Seeing this, Shane glanced at the pistol in Kang-su’s hand. It was the same model. It meant the subordinate’s pistol.
“Are you the last line in this siege?”
“then?”
“You’re saying it’s your fault that made my men like that, right?”
“Poland? Or here?”
I asked which subordinates he was talking about.
With that, Shane was able to fill the part where he had slight doubts.
“You really looked at me funny.”
“very.”
“… Aren’t you the NIS?”
“Does it show?”
In the first place, there was no way the NIS would be alone in the final battle. In addition, there was no sign of calling in reinforcements when the enemy was discovered.
Shane couldn’t help but laugh.
“He’s really determined to die.”
Kirik- Kirik-
Having said that, Shane and Luke put the silencer on the pistol. It was because it was impossible to bring back the NIS unit that had been ostracized with difficulty.
Of course, the river had already been wearing a silencer.
an imminent situation. It was the river that moved first.
Papak—
Kang-soo passed behind a tree beside him and fired a pistol. At the same time, Shane and Luke also split on both sides, taking on roles for each other.
Papa papak— papa pak—
Luke fired covering fire at the tree where the rain was hiding.
Meanwhile, Shane took a detour to the left and moved quickly. From the side, Kangsu was a straight-forward strategy.
With a gun in hand, there was no easier and simpler way.
“… Where have you been?”
Clearly there was no one behind the tree.
At that time, Luke’s scream rang as he was covering the shooting.
“Ahhh—!”
Surprised, Shane turned toward it.
Between the trees, Luke grabbed his shoulder and ran out. At that moment, Kang-soo pointed the gun at him.
Shane immediately raised his gun and fired.
Papak— Papa pak—
Kang-su put the gun away and hid behind the tree again.
In response, Shane dragged Luke over and covered him.
“What happened?”
“Whoa— whoa— suddenly appeared on my side. It seems like they knew our tactics from the start.”
“Is that something to know?”
Even though it was dark, they both saw that the precipitation had gone behind the trees.
It was difficult to get out of the tree and get to Luke faster than Shane, even with covering fire.
“Movement is no joke. I was hit in the shoulder and fired straight away, but it was difficult to determine the trajectory with the muzzle.”
Papapak— Papak—
Shane listened to him while still shooting in the back.
“It was like seeing the captain. Or more… . Whoa—”
Luke’s breathing became more and more difficult.
