306: Reorganize and see (6)
As soon as the cooldown of the wheelchair’s built-in artificial muscle system passed, Zahar returned to programming. His hopes that he would obtain the freedom and research environment he so desperately wanted through Cheolwoo was ignited.
‘Besides, my dream is becoming a reality right in front of my eyes. With a little more effort, that dream will become a reality for me too. Hi-Hi!’
Efforts that were guaranteed to succeed were never hard work. Every moment was just a joy and a flower road to success.
After struggling with programming for a long time, a knock sounded in his ear. Having touched the wheelchair’s motion system, which had already started to overheat, he sighed and approached the door.
“Who are you?”
“…I’m Mingyu.”
In front of a hotel visit without an intercom, Zahar asked in Korean. Except for Irina, there were only Koreans knocking on the door.
He reassured and opened the door. After escaping from the lab with Irina, he developed a habit of getting nervous even when he pretended to be unfamiliar.
Outside the open door, Mingyu was standing in a bent posture. It seemed that a westerner who spoke Korean was still unfamiliar.
“What happened?”
“I was wondering if I could use my laptop for a while…”
Mingyu said the purpose of his visit with an anxious face. He came here because he was curious about the fire incident of the Kangho group.
I thought about going to a PC room in Hong Kong, but he didn’t even have an Octopus card. Foreigners could use the Hong Kong PC room only by entrusting them with the Octopus Card, a public transportation card in Hong Kong.
“…Yes, write it.”
“Thank you.”
Zahar pulled the wheelchair back and opened the way. He then rebooted the laptop with many windows open and cooled the CPU that was as hot as himself.
“Huh! I’m glad.”
Mingyu breathed a sigh of relief when he opened the laptop that was turned on again and looked for news about Korea. For a Korean media that pours out negative articles every day, Kangho Group’s situation was reported very positively.
It was a very big fire that almost staggered the entire Kangho group. However, positive articles were pouring in that the next president-nominee, Min-seok, succeeded in early evolution with strong leadership.
It was a moment that could even lead to the all-stop situation of all industries in the group interlocked with the chemical process. However, domestic experts and the media were very surprised to learn that other companies with whom they had been acquainted (?) were stepping out and helping the Kangho group.
Of course, we sent out articles that were trying to hold onto even a pod that didn’t have a △△ daily report. But even other mainstream media outlets, who have always been on the same side, did not agree with the article.
‘But why are they helping us?’
He breathed out a sigh of relief and drew the overall picture by combining the facts of the article. He could not have known that the facts were severely distorted according to the tendencies of the media.
Just by looking at the context of the △△ Ilbo article, it was clear that he was doing something unreasonable to cover up the scandal of the CEO of the ○○ newspaper that had spread to the prosecution’s corruption. However, I was surprised that the tone of the major media outlets, except for the △△ Ilbo, was too positive.
All of them questioned the companies that helped Kangho Group’s difficulties. Most of the companies that helped were smaller than Kangho Group or specialized companies that insisted on only a single industry.
The management style of Kangho Group was usually close to a predator like other large corporations. If there was a necessary technology or company, it was a way to press their funds without hesitation and take them at a low price.
‘But herbivores like deer help the tigers?’
In this incomprehensible situation, each press went into an in-depth analysis. And they concluded that something drastic had begun to change in the Korean economy.
‘It’s the media. The company’s media response team should have handled it well. But why the hell are they…?’
He gnawed at his nails, grimacing in anguish. An unknown irritability tormented him.
It has been less than a month since he left Korea. However, the Kangho group he saw through the media was not the company he knew.
The moment he realized that, he felt a strong sense of alienation. The company to which he devoted all his youth felt like an unfamiliar stranger in an instant.
Then there was another knock on the door. Then I heard the director’s voice.
“hey! Zahar. It’s me, open the door!”
“Yes, let’s go!”
Zahar shouted loudly as if it was nothing special, and approached the door. When I close my eyes and listen to her, it is so natural that it sounds like two Koreans are talking.
“mind! You have to open it red and red. Why are you so fussy?”
“Oh! I’m handicapped!”
“What kind of disabled person is a guy who moves faster than me?”
Director Yang looked at Zahar as he opened the door and was bruised. After getting used to Zahar’s behavior to some extent, he no longer treated him as a disabled person.
As Yang entered the room, an iron cookie box was held in his hands. He got bored and came to Zahar with cookies.
“uh! Hey, you were here.”
“Let me ask you one thing.”
Director Yang looked awkward at Mingyu in the room. The reason he was shooting like this was to avoid Mingyu.
However, I ran into him in a situation where there was no Chul-woo. Without knowing his heart, Mingyu asked a question at first.
“Did anything major change in the group after I disappeared?”
“…I wasn’t there…Yeah.”
Director Yang rolled his eyes and traced his memory. But I didn’t think of any changes.
“Then did you really mean that Minseok showed his talent as a leader? But even so, the attitudes of other companies are . . .”
“ah! Third… No, I heard that our boss has moved to the building of Director Jang. This is what I heard talking about the agents who live together, and they say that the children of the companies called me are gathered together. So if you go out on the weekend, it’s like a different world…”
The two directors spoke as if they were talking in small talk. But at that one word, Mingyu realized what he had missed.
“Are you still the manager? What the hell did he do…”
Rather, he turned his attention to Yang, with more doubts. Yang, ignorant of his feelings, devoured Zahar and cookies and lobbied for only one hundred coins.
Cheol-woo broke the door and went inside and started shooting. Two SAC team members who stayed in the cabin to monitor the hostages were hit by bullets in the neck and collapsed, grabbing the wounded area and wriggling.
The guards were monitoring the opponent’s approach with a small radar on the suit. However, in a surprise attack that could not be detected by the radar, he had no choice but to be helpless.
Those with damage to their airways struggled with all their might to hold their breath. Wolf put the gun on the bodies of those bastards and grinded them mercilessly.
Truly! Phoebe!
They aimed at the same place as a speaker, but they couldn’t easily penetrate their suits. It was just that the outside was peeling off and the contents inside were revealed a little bit.
Unlike the last time, these guys have attached artificial muscles and body armor so that they cannot be distinguished. Therefore, armor-piercing rounds were of no use unless the body armor parts were accurately identified and targeted firing was not carried out.
“Damn, are these guys weak, or are you strong? I keep getting confused because it’s so easy to deal with. These guys can’t easily penetrate even armor-piercing rounds like this…”
“Both. I’m strong and they’re weak. You are weaker than them. Huh!”
“Shit! I’m angry, but I can’t deny it. That makes me even more angry…”
Cheol-woo was always brave. And, as he said, he seemed strong enough to see no limits.
Even if the two guys were banging up there right now, I was sure they wouldn’t be Cheolwoo’s opponents. Even those who seemed to have surpassed the limits of human beings by pouring a lot of money or effort were just such a weak person in front of them.
“ruler! Let’s get rid of the empty house quickly. Hong Kong nights are very short.”
Cheol-woo said as he turned the handle of the locked iron door with force. There must have been a solid lock on it, but if he touched it, it would break like a toy.
“It’s definitely made in China. I’m sure it’s…”
There was no law saying that Russians should not use Chinese products. In his experience, the only common sense that could understand the current situation was ‘Maiden China’.
There was a loud noise as the door opened. Just by looking at it, the thick iron gate with 5 or 6 regular doors opened without power with a heavy sound.
“Irina.”
As soon as I opened the door, I saw 5 people. One of them spoke in Russian, and the Warrior gave a brief translation.
Cheol-woo looked around the space where they were confined and called her. She left her with her interpreters, and he carefully inspected the facilities in her cabin.
[It seems that the suit maintenance room is correct.]
‘I can see that.’
A lot of equipment was placed in the room. Among them, there was a suit similar to the SAC team.
If I had to tell them apart, it seemed like a mixture of Chinese and American products. Various tools and devices were scattered under the suit hanging in the air.
“These are researchers from the Russian Academy of Sciences. You said you lived here for more than half a year after receiving an order to provide research support from the government.”
“What is your main mission?”
“From the development of basic materials to artificial intelligence, it is diverse. They say that they came here in the form of support for technology development and improvement for a year.”
“You mean you didn’t even know what the guy running this was doing?”
“I didn’t know at all until you came. It was only when I came here that I knew that the opponents were the mafia, but I couldn’t dare to step out…”
“It sounds like you’ve figured out what’s going on.”
“The alliance between the mafia and the government is an open secret. In fact, the bond between the mafia and the political and business world is thick and tough enough to say that it is a common destiny.”
The final answer was her words. She grew up in the Red Mafia and couldn’t have known that.In any case, the researchers were terrified
to see the Americans suddenly bursting in with guns . Then he saw Irina, a Russian, and felt relieved inside.
[A large number of explosives have been detected nearby. Once it has disturbed the surrounding radio waves.]
After contemplating for a moment what to do with the Russian researchers, the Warrior gave him an urgent danger signal. The SAC teams have installed explosives on board the ship just in case.
“Ask them for the access code.”
According to the warrior’s opinion, Cheol-woo asked the researchers for a code to access the system. Even before Irina could interpret, the Warrior, who heard the access code, successfully accessed the system.
“Let’s go out together.”
Wolf cleared his doubts and pulled the rest of the party out. He was a talkative wolf, but he knew when to mix up and when to break up.
[The access code consists of three steps. We are currently hacking the 3rd level barrier.]
“Where is the bomb…?”
[It is installed one at the bottom and one at the top around this place.]
Along with the explanation, the structure diagram of the ship was unfolded with the retina. The bottom floor was the bottom of the ship.
“These bastards are planning to sink the ship.”
[There would be no reason or room to take it. If we completely destroy this place, there will be nothing to save.]
“I need this ship too.”
[There is a high probability that the Red Mafia will follow the ship to Korea.]
“Then you can’t take it to Korea. You can use Hong Kong as your port of call. Huh!”
You can operate regular passenger ships between Hong Kong and Incheon through Mingyu and Janggien. It was enough to ask Baeya Wang Wei or Justin Lowe, deputy chief of operations for the Hong Kong Police Department, to do the laundry.
“Then shall we go get rid of the bomb? There’s another boat next to me, so I’ll have to look around diligently.”
As soon as the Warrior hacked into the Russian suit system, Cheol-woo grabbed a few suits and ran out of the room. He complained that this operation had a lot to take care of.
[Identification code ‘Lucky Guy’ is leaving the ship. The ally you are dealing with is incapacitated.]
The Warrior delivered another surprising news. But, as he had expected, his expression did not change.
