454: Shake it off (4)
“No… some water!”
Captain Kang placed the wet gauze on Minseok’s dry mouth. Minseok’s bones were dry as he starved for several days.
You could tell his condition just by looking at his dry lips. If you suddenly give a large amount of water to a person who lacks water in the body, the condition will only get worse.
gulp!
Minseok greedily drank the water droplets flowing out of the gauze like a baby. Although the gauze was wet enough, it could hardly satisfy his endless thirst.
“Captain Silver, who is injured?”
“Huh! luckily no It just makes me realize how great this suit is.”
Captain Kang said while taking off his battle hat and wiping the sweat from his forehead. The battle uniform he was wearing over the suit was torn from how fierce the battle was.
“But who are those chicks out there?”
“It’s SSO!”
“…well, are you talking about the Russian Ministry of Defense Tier 1 Team? No, why are they here…”
At the words of Captain Kang of Team 707, the entire UDT team was surprised and could not keep their mouths shut. They managed to rescue Min-seok from the basement there by dealing with the obscure mafia who were resisting in the building at the end of the parking lot.
Those who fought against them were obviously special forces, but since Russia is in an unstable situation, it was understood that those who retired from the military had committed themselves to the Red Mafia.
In any case, they rescued Min-seok safely and reported the fact and tried to quickly secure a way out. However, all of the wireless devices had already stopped working, and they had no choice but to retreat and the newly-introduced Jathlon team encountered them.
During such a fierce battle, thanks to Team 707, who made a surprise attack from the rear, they were able to safely escape the battlefield. And in the 2nd sector building, which was guided by Captain Kang, I met Russian soldiers who were behind them and covered them.
“How the hell does this work? No, why do Russians fight with their allies? Are there any civil wars?”
“I don’t know either! I don’t think it’s a civil war, but I think there must have been a problem with each other. That’s all I know.”
“Damn it! Communication…?”
“It’s edible. As you can see!”
Captain Kang said, pointing his eyes at the communicator. The fairly bulky communicators were scattered on the floor as if they had done their job.
“Then food…?”
“You know. It was a one day plan. Still, thanks to the suit, we brought plenty of food, so we had enough food for two days.”
“You say you have to eat sparingly for four days.”
Captain Ahn asked about food as if he was prepared for a long war. Min-seok, who was rescued at the most, looked like that, so it was difficult to boldly hit and escape.
“Still, there’s a reserve team outside, so you know what’s going on inside. If it didn’t work, I would have asked the headquarters for support.”
“Well, will they ever be able to get out of here? When I was in the fight earlier, I saw that the number of them was huge.”
“…weren’t they special forces kids?”
“right! In terms of team formation and tactics, they are definitely special forces.”
“What special forces in the world are coming in hordes? Even Special Forces wouldn’t move like that.”
“I know After all, they were all enemies. If we hadn’t worn suits, there were so many that we would have been beaten.”
A sigh escaped from the mouths of the crew members who were listening to the story. It was hard to believe from a common sense, but it was a reality that was happening right before my eyes, so I had to accept it.
Just then, the door opened and a fully armed soldier groaned in. He was an impressive SSO team leader with short gray hair.
“Major Volkov. How was it outside?”
“Once they are gone. But you never know when they will attack again.”
He was so exhausted that he sat down in a corner. Ten of his subordinates were killed, and six were injured in the battle against Team 707.
With only 14 remaining men, he had to deal with the hordes. So, even if he had steel-like stamina, he had no talent not to get tired.
Unfortunately, the entrance to the building is small. If the terrain was a little wider, it would never have been possible to block it with a small number of people.
“Are there any news of support from there?”
“It’s the same with us when we can’t communicate. Well, even when the signal was working, I couldn’t communicate with the headquarters side.”
Major Volkov smiled weakly as if he had resigned. It was not uncommon in the Russian Army to be thrown away during an operation.
“Are there any other passages?”
“…you guys must have come in without knowing where you are. This is a hidden nuclear missile base. It’s a place where no dog hole can exist in the first place.”
“Hey, is it a nuclear missile base?”
“exactly. Thanks to that, even outsiders can’t break in. The trap is that you can never get out of this place without going through the gate on the ground. Huh!”
Major Volkov laughed bitterly. Being a nuclear missile base, it was able to successfully defend against enemy invasion. However, on the contrary, I had to give up the thought of escaping alive here.
“What kind of operation is it…?”
“I only found out after I was put in. It seems that some military officials have betrayed the government. That’s why my subordinates suddenly became reactionaries. Giggles!”
The military was an organization that had to have enemies. Unless they were civil servants who did military cosplay or cosplay like the Japanese Self-Defense Forces, there had to be a target to be killed.
And those who were once considered enemies were not welcome again. Knowing this, the SSO team members and the Korean special forces didn’t even say anything like asking for an explanation.
“If it weren’t for my family, I would have put a gun in my mouth and finished it clean. But thinking of the children who will have to be labeled children of traitors for the rest of their lives, I can’t help but die. Catch it!”
Major Volkov’s eyes gleamed. Ogi Laura’s determination to survive to the end so that his children would not be labeled with disgrace was revealed in his eyes like madness.
At that moment, the signal for food rang out from the stomach of Min-seok, who was closing his eyes. Minseok’s eyes, which had been asleep, were awake by the wind.
“I’m hungry, I’m hungry. Ba-Ap!”
The party rummaged through their backpacks and pulled out battle rations. Anyway, the time has come, so I’ll have to fill my hungry stomach to fight or not.
“What makes it so quiet?”
“Shh! Don’t make me crazy.”
“Yes, Master!”
Next to the P454 national road going up through the village of Byatskoye. Inspired Jeff, who was looking inside the ugly driveway, acted sensitively.
The intelligence agent who carried the special forces all the way here told me that they had entered this place. Even with Jeff’s senses, he sensed a danger emanating from among the bare, dense trees on the side of the road.
“What man!”
Mighty looked at Wolf, who obeyed Jeff’s words, as if strangely. It was a strange expression to see Ko Maengmaeng suddenly shouting, ‘Master,’ while he was usually growling.
“Why are you all of a sudden being so kind to you?”
“It’s all because there’s a good reason for it. I will definitely learn how to seduce a woman from my master. So, don’t be afraid to ask me to join you for nothing.”
“OMG! When did I say I would teach?”
“There is a Korean proverb, you have to look at the sky to see the stars…. nope Did I say persimmon tree if you are intelligent? Anyway, if you work hard, won’t you be impressed? Master~!”
“There is only one condition I need to accept you as a disciple.”
“What is it? After I have fulfilled the conditions, Master’s disciple will become…”
“I will be reborn! Without that condition, even me, I wouldn’t have the confidence to teach you. Two days!”
“…this guy’s inspiration is really…. Say what to say and what not to say! Unless you want to hear them being nailed to the coffin here.”
Wolf growled again at Jeff’s resolute refusal. Even if he refused, how could he use such a word?
“So it seems that your active name is Wolf. He always ‘wheezes’ like a sick wolf cub.”
“Then, let the sick wolf cub pluck that handsome beard.”
“Noisy! Let’s take care of the people hiding in the forest by the road over there. Don’t make a fuss out of nothing.”
“huh! What are those guys…? So what do you do with inspiration?”
“What am I going to do at this age? You guys should watch their jokes. Two days!”
“Sheesh! I wish I could get older. A yangban who illuminates the young spirit world…”
“Nasja is older than I thought. Although the face is old. Of course, the body is younger. Two days!”
“No matter how old you are, there is a difference between inspiration and age . . . a! Needless to say, only my mouth hurts. Mighty! I’ll be in charge of the plain over there, so you’re on the rugged mountain side… huh? Where else has this child gone?”
“While you’re busy talking, you’ve already popped out into the plains over there.”
“This bastard can’t do anything with his words alone. I’m just trying to go the easy way. Aww, you bastard like a cheater.”
Swag, swag!
Wolf grunted and moved along the steep slope. Judging from his snout, he was just a good chollang to be shot to death, but just by looking at his footsteps as if he was riding on his body, he was a top tier mercenary.
“Where the hell did these chickens come from? Two days!”
They were together, but they were really strange guys. It was also surprising that such talented people were not yet known in the mercenary world.
“Just pack 50 sandwiches of any kind.”
“Guest. Business hours are over, so tomorrow morning…”
Cheol-woo, who came in with an amazing push at the right time to lower the shutter, placed an order. The owner of the small restaurant was patient and politely refused.
There were no sandwiches on his restaurant menu. How about a sandwich in an authentic borscht (a dish of various vegetables and lamb ribs)?
However, the owner’s expression changed when he saw the bundle of money that Cheol-woo held out on the counter. That would be enough for a month’s worth of sales.
“Well, it will be soon. Guest!”
“Slow quickly. Are you busy going?”
“slowly. Please do it quickly!”
The store owner thought he didn’t understand English well. However, the sentences he heard over and over again did not make sense in Cheol-woo’s English.
However, the dollar bills that Cheol-woo waved had the effect of significantly improving the shopkeeper’s short English skills. The sooner you make it, the less time you have to receive that money.
Wheeik! Whip!
The owner of the store, full of pride that he inherited the Russian tradition, was busy playing with his hands. There were slices of bread for dessert, so no additional ingredients were needed.
“Is business going well these days?”
“a! Don’t you see my attitude?”
“Isn’t it enough to just eat and live? I heard in Moscow that the government policy made them much more liveable than they used to be.”
“huh! What makes you live? Because of the Red Mafia, it is a problem whether the business is successful or not.”
The store owner snorted as he diligently teased his hand. It was said that the situation was better than before, but that was only true for people with money and background.
“The Red Mafia? Are you talking about the obshark?”
“Foreigners know all about obsharks. Seriously, they should’ve been a little stingy around here. Catch it!”
“Are you saying that the business is closed because of the obshark?”
At Cheol-woo’s question, the store owner looked out the window with Cheol-woo’s eyes. It would be difficult to say things like this and even get into the ears of the mafia, but since it’s in front of a foreigner, I wanted to try at least once to complain.
“They own most of the buildings in this city. Whether it’s money or strength, you’re mobilizing all your power to get the building they covet. They even take rent on their own accord. If the business doesn’t work, you can’t pay the rent and you’re kicked out.
“Hey, what kind of bastards are there? Ttttttttt!”
“Is it only here? Vladivostok is also Bratma or something like that. They’re doing it. In fact, the same thing happens all over Russia. hey! There are many elderly people who say that the federal days were better. Even if we were hungry back then, we were all starving together.”
While the store owner was lamenting about his condition, the sandwich that Cheol-woo ordered was completed. As I put the leftover ingredients in the store, it didn’t look very good.
“Money here!”
“Yeah, why are you giving me this?”
Cheol-woo pulled out some bills from the bundle of money. The owner’s face, who had been eagerly anticipating what kind of seal this was, had no choice but to be distorted because of it.
“For 50 sandwiches, how much are you going to get?”
“···shit! I was expecting a fool. Shut it off!”
The attitude of the shopkeeper, who used to be friendly, has changed to be as menacing as the mafia. Perhaps I had to drink some cheap vodka sesame today to fall asleep.
“I could give you all this money if you tell me a few things about the obshark. How are you?”
Live!
Cheol-woo shook the bundle of money once again. The neck of the store owner, who was impressed by the wind, automatically swallowed his saliva.
