Two days later, in the early morning of Southwest South Carolina, Camp Lee.
I put on a track suit for rehabilitation and training and went out the door, but I hesitated.
It was because Harry was standing right in front of him.
And that too, wearing the same morning sportswear as usual.
“… Why are you here?”
I asked, but Harry blinked his eyes in reverse.
“yes? Why?”
My head shook my head.
“Did you have dinner yesterday? Mrs. Thompson? Shouldn’t we be together?”
I couldn’t even go on my honeymoon, and I was spending my first night at Camp Lee, which was built in a remote place.
But, you come to me right away the next day?
I knew I was going to rest.
He asked me if I was going to exercise, so I told him to rest.
But Harry shook his head.
“I promised not to interfere with my seniors. Let’s add that… There will be an action soon. Shouldn’t you come?”
“Did you accept that promise?”
“As I said, she and I are also old friends. We know each other’s personalities very well. so… … .”
“Ah, got it. let’s go.”
After roughly shutting my mouth, I headed for the grassy garden in the middle of Camp Lee.
It was the same size as a regular parade ground or playground, and the soft natural grass made it a perfect place to run.
So I ran for a short while feeling like I was warming up after a long time.
about 20 kilometers.
I ran about half the distance of the marathon slowly without speeding up.
It really feels like jogging.
“Big… good, good The air is good, the running is good.”
In the midst of admiration, I went straight to the gym while encouraging Harry, who was tenaciously following.
I did squats and leg presses that I couldn’t do because I was in a wheelchair.
Even before mealtime, about an hour.
As I came down from the machine and wiped away the sweat, I heard Harry’s voice from the side, accompanied by heavy breathing.
“Whoa, whoa… Even though I was in a wheelchair… Whoa, you’re still… Seniors… … .”
“It seems like you’ve been resting for a while, and you followed me well.”
He said it as if to encourage Harry, but he meant it.
It was because I did not fall behind even though I worked out for about three hours in a row, and even without a break.
In particular, I ran as much as most marathoners.
Even though I ran slowly, I never walked around with ease.
He patted Harry’s back.
“great job. I can do just this much in the evening.”
“Whoa… I will definitely do it… … .”
After hearing the answer with the nuance that was as determined as risking one’s life.
After breakfast, I immediately started preparing for the operation with my teammates.
It was a job to check the plan spread from the upper level and memorize various information related to it, so my body was not tired.
It was just a headache because I had to use my head as if I were studying.
It was time to look at the images of various documents and pads while wrapping my head around this.
“Oh my god, what is the route so long? The preliminary route is also f*cked up… is this really okay? It hasn’t been long since you’ve been to goddamn Russia, hasn’t it?”
Andrei looked at me and asked.
It was a harsh word mixed with profanity here and there, but I laughed lightly when I heard it.
Vocabulary, after all, was what worried me.
More than Harry was concerned.
“are you okay. I had a physical examination and an interview the other day.”
“Nevertheless it is. Do you do more of this?”
Andrei’s expression was crumpled, which also made sense.
It was because I had to travel a longer distance than I did in Russia, and I had to move alone this time as well.
The driving range is approximately 800 km.
It was about twice as many as in Russia.
Naturally, the conditions were very different from when infiltrating Russia.
Rather good.
The bigger the number, the harder it seemed, but it wasn’t.
It was thanks to the time given to cover the 800 km, a week long.
Of course, it was possible because it was me.
It wasn’t usually a week, but even given ten days, it was something I wouldn’t dare to do.
It was physically impossible.
When I was a special forces soldier, it took a week to march a thousand miles, and during that time, not only my stamina, but also my whole body, including my feet, would get better.
Whether it was Delta or Special Force, they wouldn’t be too different.
Because there will be no characteristics.
“No, it’s okay. According to the simulation, 1,000 kilometers is enough without injury.”
“f*ck, does that really work? No injuries?”
“Uh, I think I can take a look.”
“I just can’t believe it… Anyway, is it okay for you to look at it?”
“that’s right. are you okay.”
“Then I have nothing to say.”
After Andrei shrugged, a different voice sounded this time.
Those were the words of Ron, who had come to deliver data and give instructions.
“Lee, do you need anything? tell me anything.”
“Do you need it?”
“okay.”
“I just need to do what I normally do… Oh, and if there’s a new tactical gear or weapon, I’d love to test it out beforehand. other than that… doesn’t exist.”
“Think about it if you don’t have it. The superiors asked what you wanted.”
“Yes, I’ll tell you when I remember.”
After a short chat, I went back to memorizing information.
The environment and weather of the operation site, the war situation that will act as a variable, the main route to infiltrate, several preliminary routes, exit signals and methods, various Dvoke locations, and things about Wang Qing, a member of the Standing Committee, who is the target to visit on the front line.
Sitting around the conference table, I looked at the written content and the stored data over and over again.
It’s a bit cumbersome and cumbersome, but I couldn’t pass this roughly.
It was because the more elaborately prepared, the more complete the operation, unless it was put into a sudden operation.
Of course, the operation itself was as simple as infiltrating, sniping, and ejecting.
It was just that there were so many things that I had to memorize while suffering from headaches in order to block the variables that would occur in the process as much as possible and get out of the game cleanly.
It continued from breakfast until lunch.
There wasn’t much conversation.
Because I was busy just looking at what was given and memorizing it.
It was around this time that I felt the urge to quit studying quickly and practice sniping or tactical shooting.
“Seniors? It is meal time.”
Harry opened his mouth just in time, and everyone, including me, stood up.
Then, naturally, around the time I left the conference room.
“lee.”
Ron, who had been quiet in a corner, called me to stand.
And after returning Harry, who had been following him, he continued talking quietly.
“I think I said something wrong, so I’m going to correct it.”
“Correction?”
I wanted to say something, but I hesitated at the words that followed.
“So what I said earlier… It’s kind of a reward. It is also a blank check mark.”
“… … ?!”
“I meant you can say anything you want, not just what you need for operations or training.”
I shook my head for a moment, but I didn’t get an answer right away.
It was because he had been busy preparing for the operation, and nothing particularly came to mind.
“what… Even if you say that, I don’t think of anything right away… … .”
“How is the money? How much do you want?”
“It would be nice to have a lot of money, but… … .”
I couldn’t help but agree with Ron’s words.
It was because I already had money worth 10 billion won in my bank account, but I couldn’t even take it out and use it properly.
Of course, I couldn’t think of anywhere to spend the money.
It was because I was solving everything from lodging, exercise, shooting, etc. at Camp Lee, where I didn’t have to spend money.
“Then what about the car? Looking at it, there was a history of remodeling a vehicle and riding it.”
“Oh, is it a bulletproof car?”
“Okay, what do you think? If you don’t want anything in particular, tell me the type of vehicle or even the manufacturer’s brand. I can give you all of them.”
“Well, the tea… … .”
I counted several cars at Ron’s words, but nothing came to mind.
He had no interest in the car.
It was all about thinking that an expensive car or a foreign car would be nice.
Rather, it only reminds me of a vague family sedan or SUV that I can ride when I build a family and go out together.
It also had to be a prerequisite of a family.
I didn’t want anything now.
This was because Camp Lee already had various bulletproof vehicles, as well as light helicopters that I could pilot myself.
“Not yet.”
“If it’s not yet, you mean it might happen later, right?”
“Yes.”
Ron thought about my answer for a moment before saying,
“Is that after you achieved your goal? After removing TP (Top Priority)?”
He hesitated at the codename mentioned instead of Pikal.
The imagination of a happy family disappeared in an instant, and it felt as if my spirit had returned.
“Yes, we have to catch him first.”
Along with the nuclear war, it was even lowered several times, tying people up even more.
Fortunately, I didn’t hear a single gunshot at Camp Lee, but on the way to the wedding, I heard an explosion while moving.
Because of the $1 billion bounty that has yet to be cleared.
Soon, Ron’s words were heard.
“It’s a good answer, but it’s too vague. This is the answer that I will ask you to find out again after reporting it above.”
“still… I have nothing to say. I don’t know if it’s after grabbing Pikal… … .”
“Tell me about that.”
I replied briefly to Ron’s words.
“what… Get married, have children, and live happily ever after.
It was something I had wanted for a long time, so I answered vaguely, but Ron’s expression when I heard it was different from before.
There was something like anticipation in his eyes.
The words that followed were similar.
“where?”
“well. It’s a good place to live. It’s less cold in winter, and it’s a bit warmer.”
“Is the condition everything you just said? Home, happy?”
“Yes, that will do.”
“So you’re saying it’s not in America?”
“Perhaps.”
Ron hesitated at my words, so he nodded his head for a moment.
“Maybe… Yeah, that’s enough. It is up to the superiors to change your answer.”
It was only then that the intention of the persistent question was revealed.
“ah… Are you asking because of that? Are you afraid I won’t live in America and go somewhere else?”
At my words, Ron shook his head.
“That’s how it is. Other countries will be scared just by your presence, so on the contrary, if you leave the United States… America will be scared.”
“Ugh, did the rumors get that far?”
“Maybe this operation will spread rumors. On the surface, it would be nothing more than a sniping by an unidentified person, but you’re the only person capable of that.”
Then Ron pulled out a notebook and wrote down something, adding an answer.
“But it will still be in America. Unless there’s something special, my colleagues are here too… … .”
“The higher up wants you to stay in America, even if there is something special going on. That’s not too different from the answer of maybe.”
“ah… … .”
It sounded like he would hold me no matter what, but on the other hand, I understood.
Because my ability is unique in the world, and just as powerful.
It was a strange thing to send.
No matter which country it is, it will be similar, and especially if that country is the world’s hegemon, the United States, they will try to hold on to me even more.
Soon, Ron’s words were heard as if they were tying a knot.
“Anyway, when this operation is over, something will come that will change your answer… First of all, prepare well for this operation. Enjoy your meal.”
“uh? Aren’t you going to eat together?”
To my words, Ron answered as he put the notebook in his arms.
“Lunch later. I have to go report that the future of America is at stake.”
