A coniferous forest northwest of Moscow around midnight.
It was around the time that the mercenaries under Pikal had spread out and were searching for them in full swing.
“I found him!”
The communications mercenary shouted.
However, the nearby mercenary captain gave an uneven answer.
“Lower your voice. And are you sure? Who is it?”
Disapproving wrinkles formed around his eyes in the green light of his night vision goggles.
In the process of tracking Kang-tae, I received related information from Russia several times, but only one of them was correct.
The rest was empty or incorrect information, so only the mercenaries suffered.
I couldn’t help but feel emotions when I asked.
The moment the mercenary commander asked with a frown.
Gying – Gying –
The cell phone given to him by Pikal, which he was carrying in his arms, began to vibrate.
When I took out my cell phone with a worried face, the confident answers overlapped.
“Yes, I am sure. Russian troops are moving. The location… … .”
“Wait a minute.”
The mercenary captain hung up and answered the phone call from Pikal.
And I just confirmed that the report was true.
It was because Pikal had mentioned that Gangtae had been discovered and that the Russian army was moving.
In addition, the exact coordinates of Kang-tae were mentioned.
At the end of the information, Pikal put on his personal dog.
– It would be nice to capture Asians alive, but don’t overdo it. If it is unavoidable, he must be killed.
“All right.”
– In particular, put the bounty greed aside.
Pikal spoke as if warning, then added something soothing.
– I will reward you enough just for participating in the operation, so don’t mess with it.
“… … !”
The mercenary commander hesitated.
I was conscious of the bounty throughout the operation, but it was because I pointed it out as if I knew everything, and even said that I would reward simple participants.
He did not say how much the reward would be, but it would be in the millions of dollars.
It was because the usual operation received hundreds of thousands of dollars.
“Okay, Boss.”
The mercenary commander answered quickly, hung up the phone, and looked around at his gaze.
“Get in the car.”
The mercenaries moved quickly as if they had waited for those words.
It was running towards the SUV that had come openly on the road near the coniferous forest, and the mercenary commander also spread the coordinates while moving together.
And by the time I got into the passenger seat of the car I had been riding.
The radio came across as if he was embarrassed.
– … Please double check the coordinates. About 40km away from the current location… … .
The eyes of the mercenary commander who heard the radio waved briefly.
Because he knew too well.
The location where Kang-tae was found is unbelievably far away.
It was natural to see that the coordinates were wrong.
The section the mercenaries were searching for was also a range that humans could not move on foot in a day.
A location approximately 250 km away from the initial sniping site.
Even searching this place was a daze, but Kang-tae had fled further.
That’s not 3~4km, but a point outside 30~40km.
Of course it was nonsense.
The area being searched in the first place was not a place that a person could walk to in one day.
But I had to believe.
It was because Pikal had called and told me about it.
He has never been wrong.
Everything that was said was true, and it came true.
There was also a reason for believing Pikal’s words that he would fully compensate without a specific explanation.
The mercenary commander, who soon organized his thoughts, replied.
“The coordinates are clear, and we plan to establish a plan and spread it, so please move while being vigilant.”
And he added Pikal’s words.
Don’t mess things up by getting preoccupied with the bounty.
In addition, the boss even said that sufficient compensation would be paid for simply participating in the operation, and that the boss had promised.
Then, the mercenary commander began to make plans while looking at the navigation board, figuring out the roads to be approached, the surrounding landmarks, the troops to be deployed, and even nearby Russian units.
While estimating the deployment of troops and the direction of approach.
In the process of moving like that, it was time to give instructions to each group that had been divided in advance.
“after… Does this make sense… … .”
The moment I heard only road noise and wind noise, one of the mercenaries who was riding with me muttered.
A few gazes met, and the mercenary commander raised his head, and a sigh mixed with words continued.
“I’ll only trust the captain, honestly, I can’t believe this damn situation.”
Those who heard it nodded as if in agreement.
Of course, the raw meat was moving as it was trained like a member of the special forces, but it was because he couldn’t understand the current situation.
An unbelievable and unbelievable situation.
Seeing that gaze, the mercenary commander, instead of saying anything else, quietly mentioned what to do.
“… Just do what you do.”
However, his response speed was not different.
Although various plans were established and disseminated, they could not get rid of all the distracting thoughts.
To be precise, I couldn’t organize my thoughts about Kangtae.
He was human too, and even with the ample reward Pikal had promised, he couldn’t contain himself.
It was because I had never seen a person who could easily kill an enemy several kilometers away and travel hundreds of kilometers a day.
These were utterly unacceptable.
It was even harder to believe as I had been in the military for a long time and well.
Because it was literally impossible.
However, the mercenary commander kept silent on what he had to do, just as he had trained and performed.
It had to be.
If even the mercenary leader showed a shaken figure, not only the reward, but also his life would fly away.
Soon he made up his mind.
‘If he wasn’t a cyborg, he’d be exhausted. It will be difficult to keep your physical strength and body in good shape… … .’
As he thought about this, he knew that it was double.
Because it made the impossible possible in the first place.
The opponent wasn’t tired or hurt, and there was a chance that he would be perfectly fine.
I just hope for a little bit.
While breathing heavily, additional information came in.
– 2 enemy helicopters approaching. Appears to be attempting to collect and eject the target.
“… … !”
The mercenary commander hesitated.
Enemy helicopters entering Russia preparing for war?
Even the information that followed wasn’t better.
It was because the enemy helicopter was expected to rendezvous with the target within 8 minutes, or within 7 minutes if faster.
His eyes were on the navigation map.
According to the radio, the helicopter had crossed the Estonian border, and Kang-tae was also heading towards Estonia.
In the eyes of the mercenary commander who was watching this, the junction was roughly visible.
within a radius of 500 meters.
After organizing his thoughts, the mercenary commander quickly radioed.
“I will correct the coordinates. All cars want to move at the highest speed per hour.”
Then, reflexively, he pulled the bolt and checked the inside of the chamber.
“All ready for engagement.”
The mercenary who muttered as if lamenting those words opened his mouth again.
“The distance is too far… Are you planning on shooting at the helicopter?”
“If you need to, do it. Even if you are lucky enough to kill it, it will cost you 100 million dollars, and you will receive hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars just for participating in the killing operation.”
To those words, the mercenary cautiously added his words.
“But, if the helicopter is equipped with air-to-surface missiles… … .”
“It’s hard to shoot. Even if I did, I would give an excuse that it was a machine failure or a mistake. If we bomb Russian territory from here, we could go to war with NATO.”
“ah… I’m glad then… … .”
At those words, the mercenary commander responded as if he were reading aloud.
“Don’t show off as frightened like a little girl, just do what you normally do. Just like last year, when you smashed a bar and hit six thugs.”
“… I’d like to, but today it’s not as usual. Is it because I heard nonsense, or is it too old… … .”
“Whatever it is, prepare first. Let’s talk after the operation is over.”
By the time the mercenary commander, who had sorted out the situation, exhaled lowly.
I heard the rough road noise, and while the surrounding scenery passed by quickly, I heard an alien noise.
Doo Doo Doo-
It was the faint sound of helicopter rotors.
It wasn’t that the Russian military sent it for a search.
It was withdrawn immediately.
He left at dawn and has not returned yet.
Because something happened inside Moscow.
Therefore, the sound of the helicopter heard now was not friendly or friendly, but the enemy.
I guess it must be a US Army helicopter.

Let’s increase the speed like that, we came to the vicinity of the rendezvous point.
“The chopper is getting louder, I think we’re all there.”
I checked the navigation board at the driver’s words.
The distance from the predicted meeting place checked on the map is about 2 km.
It wasn’t far, but it wasn’t even close, so I couldn’t like it.
Rather late.
In terms of time, it was highly likely that Kang-tae had arrived at the rendezvous point immediately and was on board the helicopter.
The mercenary commander, who had calculated that he had to hit the helicopter, quickly radioed.
“This is one group, the distance from the enemy is about 2 kilometers… … .”
The moment I continued talking like that.
bang-!
A roar came from right next to it.
The pupils of the mercenary captain who instinctively looked to the side shook greatly.
“… … !”
It was because a van with mercenaries riding side by side crashed into a tree beside the road.
A car with a smashed bonnet remains in the background as it passes by.
Soon after, a hard radio was heard.
– … ugh, f*ck… This is Article 8, the driver was shot, and the current number of dead is two, no, three. And the wounded… … .
“… … .”
The mercenary captain, who was listening to the radio while looking through the rear glass, quickly looked ahead.
Because it was the sound I was expecting.
Tuong! Tuong-!
If you calculate the time, it was a gunshot from about 2km away.
His body stiffened.
As a veteran mercenary, he had served as a commander under Pikal, but it was the first time he had experienced such a situation.
Of course I didn’t know.
I had already heard enough about how the Russian soldiers were killed by Kang-tae, and I knew it well because I had seen the bodies.
While tracking, I found various impossible situations.
However, there was one other important thing.
The fact that he is standing in the middle of an impossible situation.
Soon there was another roar.
Kiki-kwaang-!
The van ahead of them had run off the road and crashed into a tree.
It wasn’t even one.
Poo-!
The face of the driver next to the mercenary captain exploded.
The windshield was punctured, half of the driver’s face was smashed, and blood splattered in all directions at the same time.
Then the moment when the body that lost its head stumbles.
The mercenary commander tried to reach out.
towards the handle.
Just like the two cars I just witnessed, I was trying to orient myself so that I wouldn’t end up somewhere.
But I couldn’t move.
His vision was completely blacked out, and his arms twitched but could not be heard.
At the same time, the mercenary commander realized what his condition was.
‘Right… … .’
It was clear that he had been shot.
Sight, hearing, and touch were all disappearing.
It’s the first time, but I could tell.
I don’t know why I don’t feel pain or when I was hit, but I’m sure I’ll die soon.
Only then did the mercenary commander realize why there were two gunshots he had just heard.
One for the driver’s seat and one for the passenger’s seat.
Before long, the mercenary commander’s body leaned.
