I put down almost all my equipment.
I threw away the bag I was carrying throughout the operation, and took out only the essentials and put them in the auxiliary pouch on my waist belt.
Then, after taking the gun and resupplying the ammunition, he stood up right away.
“Are you leaving now?”
CIA safe house officer, Jean, asked Jake.
He had a slightly concerned expression on his face, but it was understandable why.
It was because he had just finished fighting, crossing rivers, and marching in the mountains, and had just gotten up from his seat without a moment’s rest.
I stayed for a few more minutes, but I couldn’t see that as a break.
It was because I took off my wet clothes and shoes, changed into the clothes I had in the safe house, and spent time taking care of the firearms that were soiled with water and dust.
It was done as quickly and as quickly as possible.
Jake, who was still standing up and pulling the bolt of the MCX, looked into the muzzle and answered.
“I will go now.”
“Then do you need anything more? One last thing before departure… … .”
According to the original plan, it was not just a rest, it was because he promised to stay longer, eat, and even sleep.
The original plan was to supply enough calories and wake up after going to bed.
So I, too, took a bit of an early start.
I wished I had more rest.
Everyone was gasping and couldn’t even speak properly until right before I came in here.
I had super stamina, so I could handle that, but the people who came with me weren’t.
Although they were Delta Force members and special operations agents, they were human after all.
It was the body that felt the burden of physical strength equally, accumulated fatigue, and was eventually affected.
It was different from me.
I was concerned about this, but no one said a word about it.
As soon as I quickly completed my change of clothes and gun imports, I was ready to leave immediately as Jake ordered.
I didn’t even have to say it.
It was because no one said to take a break, but I couldn’t tell him to take a break, and the words that came out during the brief meeting were threatening.
It didn’t matter that the enemy came to the safe house.
Before that, it was the opinion of Jake, Rachel, and veteran Delta Force NCOs that the exit route was highly likely to be blocked.
And at the same time, the command center also ran a simulation, giving the same but specific radio.
There is a high possibility that the escape will be sealed off within the next three hours.
Of course it wasn’t all bad.
While minimizing the load, the physical burden was reduced a little, and Jake also put Norman Jones down and left, so the mission was smooth.
He was still holding the gun with both hands.
Soon he gave a short answer to Jin.
“let’s go.”
“… All right. Follow me, this way.”
Jin took the lead as if he couldn’t help it, and I followed him.
As at the start, I was in the lead this time too.
It was because I was the only one who could not only subdue unexpected enemies with quick reactions, but also be responsible for the movement speed of allies even if I made an over face.
If someone else had stood in front of them, there was a good chance they were still in the mountains.
It was possible to forcefully catch up while measuring the distance by looking at someone’s heel, but it was close to impossible to speed up from the front with no one there.
It was no different for the mentally strong Jake.
So I took the lead and followed Jin to a narrow tunnel entrance.
And in front of the open iron door, I spit out my words.
“… Oh, is this it?”
At most, it was made so that one person could pass.
It was also a crude look made of earthen walls and wooden beams, and there were no lights or rails.
It was similar in shape to the tunnel that North Korea had made.
The prefabricated paneled underground safe house feels relatively like a five-star hotel.
“I was anxious from the break room… what’s this? Was it made by the CIA? Aren’t these smuggling tunnels built by some f*cking Mexican gang?”
Andrei reacted immediately.
Jin smiled wryly at the words that sounded like he was full of energy.
“Sophisticated headquarters are in the US or Europe, and hard to find in Asia. Of course, even if it’s a better Hong Kong… It’s in the mountains, so the situation is even worse. please understand.”
To that, Jake answered briefly instead of Andrei.
“it’s okay. Let’s set off.”
“Yes, I will go in. Watch your head and come in with a good bow, you may run into a wooden beam or a rock.”
“… Team Leader? Did you hear?”
I asked while looking back.
It was because Jake’s body was too big for the narrow width that only one adult male could pass through.
Even I, who is a little taller, have to bend down a little, because he is so much taller.

Looking back at this, instead of replying, Jake made eye contact and silently came inside.
While feeling the optical illusion that the tunnel is full.
Jin, who had taken the lead before he knew it, turned on his flashlight and started moving forward.
I came in because it was made by the CIA, but I didn’t have that much faith when I went inside.
It was because of some dirt falling from above and the noise of rats running.
The floor was also less flat, so my feet would trip.
Head swung left and right.
‘Hey, I remember the beat breaking before… … .’
There was a time when a mound of dirt collapsed while digging bits while training at Mt. Hwangbyeong in Pyeongchang, Gangwon-do.
I went in because I thought I dug well, but I hit the soil while moving my body and it was covered.
To the point where I wonder if it’s going to be buried.
Fortunately, he was not killed or injured, but if he had been a little late, if he had been caught by the control inspector on patrol, the boss (Jin) would not have been so sweet.
Around the time of moving while thinking about the old days.
Suddenly, Jin’s footsteps stopped.
“I think so.”
As I turned the iron doorknob like that, I saw something better than soil.
concrete wall.
While checking this, I heard Andrei’s voice.
“Ha, I will live now. I never thought the damn cement smelled this good.”
“Heh heh. Me too, Andrei. Looking at it now, you seem to be talking a lot, how did you hold it back in the tunnel?”
It was around the time that even Jose accepted his words with a happy face.
Before I knew it, Jin turned on the fluorescent lights in the warehouse.
As the bright light illuminated the interior, Jin’s voice continued for a moment as he frowned.
“You can use three vehicles like this, and all the necessary car keys, business cards, clothes, and equipment are inside.”
Then, when Jin removed the tarp, three vehicles were revealed.
It was a means of the exit operation that I heard about before this operation and just during maintenance.
This was no ordinary vehicle either.
As Jin explained, they were vans with the logos of European media outlets that required equipment.
In other words, some kind of camouflage operation.
Jake got closer to the car, looked around us and gave us new instructions.
“The dress is yours. Let Lee, Rachel, Don, and Michael each wear their business cards, take their business cards, and sit in the driver’s and passenger’s seats, and the rest get on board as planned.”
Those who were looking around at those words moved in perfect order.
I also moved with them. I went to the car and put on a vest with the word ‘PRESS’ printed on it, and even hung a fake ID around my neck.
As I sat in the passenger seat, Harry, who was in the driver’s seat, opened his mouth.
“Please take good care of the exit, senior.”
“I hope you don’t have anything to ask for.”
while answering like that.
Before I knew it, Jake, who had settled in the back seat, radioed.
– This is Charlie 2. As of the current time, we will proceed with 025-1.
It was the signal to leave.
Harry started the engine right away and drove the vehicle, operating the handbrake and gear.
By the time the sound of engines and rattling noises filled the air.
Jin opened the garage door and gave us a light salute.
At the same time, instead of responding, Andrei muttered.
“Was that young soldier born?”
He seemed to have said it after seeing him salute, but José responded as if accepting his words.
“Well, I think he was probably a soldier. Your salutation posture is better than mine.”
“Hmm, then you should have been nicer.”
“hehehehahahaha, why are you saying that all of a sudden?”
“It reminds me of the f*cking old days. Isn’t it easy to just f*ck around here by yourself?”
“ah… That was it. I’m sorry, friend.”
By the time José, who had known about Andrei’s divorce while living together, stopped laughing.
Satellite information has just arrived.
Not on the good side either, but on the bad side.
– … Currently installing barricades. Appears to be setting up a temporary checkpoint. wait a while.
“uh?”
Unknowingly, I slowed down.
It was because a police barricade had just been set up on the way we were going.
As Harry naturally slowed down and pulled the car onto the shoulder, Jake opened his mouth.
For us, it was radio transmission to voice and to the back car.
– Be mindful of power situations and prepare for engagement or rapid march.
“ah… … .”
A sigh came out of nowhere.
I just fought and I just walked through the mountains.
And if we fight here, things will get bigger.
while worrying about many things.
Fortunately, a new radio has arrived.
– Charlie 2, this is Zulu 10. Sierra 00 in next 3 minutes. Get ready and wait.
“Good reception.”
I answered briefly, but it relieved my worries for an hour.
It was because Sierra 00, which was supposed to be done in 3 minutes, was nothing other than a sabotage operation prepared in various places in Shenzhen and Hong Kong.
We don’t know exactly what it does, but we soon found out.
Even if I didn’t want to know, I had to know.
Quaaang—!
Because an explosion occurred.
“… … !”
The vibration was transmitted to the van, and it spread to a red color in the night sky.
“Oh, damn it. It’s like a bombing.”
He nodded at Harry’s murmur.
Since it was an operation supervised by the US military, it was around the time I wondered where it was fired.
A new radio has arrived.
– Charlie 2, this is Zulu 10. Checkpoint personnel are being evacuated, so move immediately.
“Good reception.”
As soon as Jake answered, Harry stepped on the accelerator on his own.
Boaaang—!
While running as if his upper body was buried in a chair, while Jake radioed the car behind him.
Andrei’s words were heard.
“Americans are really great. What are you doing in damn Hong Kong? Have you shot a hellfire? What the hell did you blow up?”
“hahahahaha, Andrei! Are you an American too?”
“Oh, yes. Damn, I forgot.”
To Jose’s question, Andrei answered as if he had forgotten.
When he joined our team, he naturally acquired American citizenship, just like me, but soon after, he mumbled while adding swear words.
“It’s amazing how f*cking great my country is.”
I, who was in the passenger seat, nodded.
I wondered if I had to fight in Chinese while passing through the checkpoint, but fortunately I passed through an empty road.
“after… … .”
It was around the time I let out a sigh of relief because I was nervous inside.
said Harry, glancing at me.
“It was an opportunity to see the senior’s actual Chinese, but it turned out to be a pity.”
“This madman… … .”
“I believe in the fact that you will do great with anything. Just like the main character.”
“Hero… … ?”
When Laraffle came to mind and hesitated to ask, Harry looked at me again and grinned.
“Yes, I am appearing as a supporting character who assists my seniors. Wouldn’t it be nice to shoot a movie? Like 13 hours or Lone Survival.”
He straightened his hardened face and smiled.
“… Do some driving.”
