That evening, I got out of the mission in two SUVs sent by the upper management.
Not only preparing for the cold weather, but also equipped with the equipment to infiltrate immediately.
It was time to adjust the plate carrier and inspect the chamber of the Glock 19 that he always carried with him.
“It looks like you won’t tell us your destination this time either, right?”
Andrei, who was sitting side by side, asked as if muttering, and Rachel, who was in the passenger seat, answered.
“I asked as soon as I got on.”
At that, I raised my eyes and looked at the driver’s seat.
The man who drove from the top and looked like an agent or a soldier to anyone, kept his mouth shut.
At the same time, Andrei’s voice was heard.
“okay? What do you say?”
“You’ll find out when you arrive.”
“… Another spy movie. I’ll tell you at least some time so you can sleep comfortably, damn it… … .”
Andrei was swearing, and I understood why.
It was still evening, and if the journey took a long time, there was a good chance that we would have to stay up all night.
Then, the knight who had been quiet, still like a stone statue, opened his mouth.
“It’s enough to keep an eye on.”
“Oh, I wasn’t dumb. however… You mean it takes a long time to close your eyes?”
Andrei said while bending his neck from side to side.
“Then I’ll take a nap, so wake me up 10 minutes before I arrive. Before that, I need to be alert.”
“All right.”
After the heavy answer came back from the driver’s seat.
Rachel, who was in the passenger seat, turned to me.
“Lee, you should go to sleep too. I’ll stay awake.”
“Then thank you for me. Please wake me up.”
“Okay, get a good night’s sleep.”
Thanks to Rachel, I closed my eyes comfortably and fell asleep, using Andrei’s snoring as white noise.
It was when I woke up several times because the seat was uncomfortable, closed my eyes again, and fell asleep again.
“… lee.”
I heard Rachel’s voice.
I wondered if this was a dream too, but I woke up as her warm hand grabbed my knee.
“We are almost there. They said it was 10 minutes before arrival.”
“… Where are you, here?”
I looked around and asked.
It was because I only saw a scene that was darker than when I started.
Rachel smiled bitterly.
“Looks like they’re leaving for Russia right away.”
“yes?”
I looked up to see what was going on, and Rachel nodded lightly and said,
“As far as I know, there is an air base 10 minutes away. The direction is the same.”
“… Oh, that’s right there.”
Just like when I went to China, I thought I would drop by the training ground and thoroughly prepare for the operation.
It may not be, but I knew how to do it to some extent.
Russia, like China, is a powerful enemy of the United States, so it was a country that needed a lot of preparation.
Of course, you can prepare for battle in the operational area, but it didn’t look like that.
There was breaking news, and training in Russia or nearby wasn’t very safe.
After coming to my senses, I woke up Andrei.
It was around the time that he, too, blinked and grasped the situation, and gave a short reply after hearing Rachel’s story.
“… Damn it, I’m really going right there.”
Andrei muttered and looked out the front window.
It was because, before I knew it, I could see the wire mesh and soldiers in the headlights, and after that, even the air base, which was locked at dawn, appeared.
I caught a glimpse of the outline of a huge military transport plane, but I quickly knew what it was.
“It’s an improved version of the C-17. I don’t know if it’s a model we’re going to ride or not… … .”
It was something that Rachel told me as soon as she saw it, but the back story also became true.
It was because the order was given to get on the C-17.
That was also what Ron, who oversaw and directed the scene, said directly.
“If you’re not going to procrastinate, get on board! hurry!”
Unaware of when he had come, he hurried us along with a tactical backpack loaded into the C-17.
In response, Jake moved as if throwing away his luggage, and the entire team quickly boarded.
Finally, Ron, who was sitting with a suit, smiled and said.
“You can omit greetings as much as you are busy.”
“of course.”
I sat in a straight line like leaning against the wall of an airplane and fastened my seatbelt, and Ron gestured toward the open door.
It’s probably a signal to close and leave.
Then the noise of the C-17’s engines began to be heard.
Woo woo woo woo-!
Around the time the aircraft vibrated, Ron continued talking by putting on the headset that was hanging around his neck.
-Now, before checking the operation and preparing… Get this and check it out.
Ron, who was standing up, took out an envelope and handed it out while holding onto the cargo.
Normal palm-sized envelopes.
There was nothing unusual except the initials of the people to be received, but as I took out the contents, I realized that wasn’t the case.
This time, it was because it had a new ID in it.
Employee ID cards and passports worn around the neck, and even documents filled with company seals and signatures.
I knew the identity before I looked closely.
Defense industry officials.
At the same time, Ron’s voice was heard.
– See? It’s your job to be the person responsible for transporting this cargo.
Ron tapped the cargo he was leaning on.
There, instead of the few backpacks we had tossed and tossed, the large cargo on the pallet was fixed.
It’s also a munitions painted green.
– It’s nominally a supply to Ukraine, so you don’t have to worry about organizing it there.
Along with his words, the man in a suit sitting next to us gave a short bow.
At the same time, Ron gestured towards us.
-Your team name is Task Force 348. You know, it has no meaning. And like this, Alpha Team, made up of company employees and reporters, and Bravo Team, these three mercenaries hired by the company.
After that, the six of us looked at each other.
It was to confirm the Alpha and Bravo that Ron had shared, just like the people in the vehicle.
Alpha, who would become a company employee and reporter, were me, Rachel, and Andrei, and the company’s hired mercenaries, Bravo Team, were Jake, Harry, and Jose.
– Oh, it fits right from the start.
And while José laughed, Ron’s voice came out one after another.
– Now, check your PDA first.
At that, I looked at the PDA, and all sorts of data, such as temperature, wind, amount of sunlight, soil quality, and indigenous flora and fauna, were just sent.
The moment I pressed the screen with my cold hand to see the contents.
Words beginning with ‘M’ caught my eye.
right in Moscow.
‘no way… … ?’
He hesitated and raised his head, but all of them seemed to be thinking the same thing.
At the same time, Andrei’s mouth opened.
– … No, damn China was also f*cked up, but now we’re going into the middle of Russia?
– Okay, if you checked, listen to the explanation. You have to prepare for the operation.
– Oh… … .
After Andrei’s sigh, Ron glanced at us and said,
– Say the pain after hearing the explanation. Operation is not bad. The upper level minimized the risk as much as possible.
– … I’ve never been sick, it just sucked.
While Andrei retorted lightly.
I burst out laughing.
‘Hey, this… … .’
Well, I’ve been to Moscow.
Of course, I didn’t go sightseeing in real life, but I went there through LaReple.
From nob le mt l dot com
Like many FPS games, it was to go in and out of the middle of Russia to solve missions.
I remembered passing through a city that was almost identical to the real one and engaging in a battle in the outskirts of the mountains.
Of course, it was possible because it was a game.
It was because despite being searched by the side, he escaped to the assembly point by crawling on the grass.
I don’t know how they got it, and they even boarded a helicopter to evacuate us.
Of course, things were very different from now.
At that time, Russia did not declare war, and the mission received was spying.
On the other hand, it was different now.
grasp.
As Ron unfolded a large tactical map at our feet, he spoke of a mission quite different from spying.
– The goal is to eliminate the target. This is the infiltration, this is the exit.
At the same time, I drew a line on the map cover with a felt-tip pen, but I hesitated.
“… … !”
My co-workers looked at me the same way.
I had to go all the way to Moscow and kill the factor, but it was because I was preparing for war and I didn’t have any special preparations for the operation.
I flinched too.
Above all, it was a completely different actual battle from Lareple, which had game elements, so I had no idea how it would go.
Above all, Lareple’s scenario was completely wrong, so I didn’t even have to think about it anymore.
‘Eliminate the target… … .’
While erasing the meaningless Moscow mission in Lareple, I heard Jake’s voice looking at the map.
– What about the ops team?
– Six of these, to be exact, TF 348 Alpha, especially Lee.
I paused at those words.
It’s also not good news that there are no other ops teams, because Ron only accurately shot me.

Looking at Ron, a calm answer came back.
– There are a lot of support scouting teams deployed, but it’s all of you, especially Lee.
“Then, the assembly point here… … .”
When I pointed to the rendezvous point marked on the map with a puzzled look on my face, Ron nodded.
– Yes, it’s where you return and your teammates stand by and move together.
“ah… … .”
A sigh-like admiration flowed spontaneously.
It was the first time I had ever been completely alone.
Of course, there was no reason why I couldn’t do it alone.
I haven’t heard a detailed explanation yet, but it was because the given mission was not CQB (Close Quarter Battle).
It was a long range sniping.
It also had to kill the enemy from a distance of 2-3 km.
This was something no one but me could do, and it was also something that no one could help.
So I just hesitated, but didn’t panic too much.
Because there was no one else to do it anyway.
Ron’s voice sounded low as if he knew this.
– You don’t have to say it, but you have to kill enemies at least 1.4 miles (about 2.25 km) to 2 miles (about 3.2 km) apart. This is something only Lee can do.
– However, you must prepare for emergencies. Lee cannot handle everything alone.
When Jake interrupted in his characteristic gruff voice, Ron immediately pointed to various places on the map and said,
– Unfortunately, this is the only item prepared for emergencies.
There were four distant preliminary rendezvous points.
– It’s quite a distance, but here we have supplies and communication equipment that can survive for more than 30 days. There is a camouflage broadcaster vehicle here.
“Ugh, I don’t want to go there, but… I’ll watch it for now.”
It was literally a point in preparation for emergencies.
It was a point that could be used when hiding or needing a detour, rather far from the standard exit route.
Of course, by that time, there was a high possibility that the sniping or whatever would have failed.
It was a place where I had nothing to go to as I had to leave after success.
I couldn’t even go
As I was thinking about that, Ron’s voice continued.
– Then check the gun, Lee.
“uh?”
His words widened his eyes.
It was because I brought my sniper rifle, which I had been keeping for a while.
It is also a sniper rifle perfect for long-range sniping.
It was a TAC-50 using .50 caliber bullets.
It was the firearm that first introduced me to sniping, and it was an incomparably more powerful weapon.
Unlike the semi-auto with a short range, it was a bolt action type that could handle about 3 km.
Soon Ron said, unfolding the portable monitor.
– Alright then I know there are no more questions… focus on You have to properly prepare for the operation.
