Chapter 54 – Party Tonight (1)

It was a dark space that was narrow enough for each other’s breath to touch, and it was impossible to see even an inch ahead.

Shhh- shhh-

The hot breath coming out of my nose tickles the nape of my neck.
Ahhh..!
Fuck, I feel dirty!!!

(Get it away before you tear your nostrils out..!)
(If you don’t want a bullet lodged in your nostril, then get it out of the way.)
(You want to try it?!)
(However much.)

The top of the head that presses down with the chin and the chin that pushes up with the top of the head.
Fuck, why do I have to smell this cub here?!
I can’t do it!
No matter how I think about it, there is no reason for me to be here like this!
I raised my right hand and grabbed Kim Hyun-jun’s face and pushed it back, and Kim Hyun-jun also raised his right hand and grabbed my chin and pushed me up.
But at that moment.

Snap!
Snap!

At the same time, the outstretched left hands covered each other’s mouths.
And with the sound of the door opening, the lights come on and Lee Sang-ho’s voice is heard.

“What?! Hyunjoon Kim disappeared? That’s all in the 1st Battalion?! How the hell did you keep an eye on it, you bastard!!”
“Ah!! Sin, sorry! However… It seems that there was outside help rather than escape on its own.”
“What are you talking about again?!”
“According to the testimony of the surviving soldier, someone said that there was a surprise attack.”
“Surprise attack?”
“Yes, I clearly testified that way. Could it be that Chairman Lee Hyun-geun used his hand? If you throw a corpse to the zombies anyway, there won’t even be evidence left, so it could have been faked as if it escaped and actually disposed of it.”
“… Then Kim Hyun-joon is dead?”
“Yes.”
“Hmm… If it’s dead, it’s good, but if it’s alive, it’s a big problem. Kim Hyun-joon’s influence is bigger than I thought. That means the soldiers follow him more than you or I. So, first go to Hyung-geun Lee and check the facts, and if Hyun-Jun Kim escaped alive, shoot him immediately upon discovery.”
“All right.”
“Ah! And Park Joon-mo, that bastard, is excluded from this operation.”
“But Major Park is the best at commanding operations… “
“If you want to take it off, take it off! Because that bastard also fell for Kim Hyeon-jun!”
“Yes! All right!”

There was the sound of a door closing with urgent footsteps, followed by a loud sound coming from very close.

Bang!!!

Oh, and then the desk will break.
But I guess you’re not the only one who’s really upset?
The distorted face of Kim Hyeon-jun is clearly visible in the light leaking through the cracks in the cabinet door.
A face contorted like an angry hound.
Aren’t you biting my hand too?
I secretly removed the hand that was covering Kim Hyun-jun’s mouth, and as if that was a signal, Lee Sang-ho’s voice came out.

“Kim Hyun-joon..! Why are you making things so complicated? Whoa… But what about outside help? If that’s true, then who the hell is that? A figure inside our brigade? No, my kids said Lieutenant Colonel Oh was definitely in control. In that case, are you a U.S. Army?”

Whoops-
I see you’re looking for me
If so, it makes sense to let me know.

Jump-

“I’m a chewy.”
“You..!”

Lee Sang-ho’s eyes widened at the sight of me opening the cabinet door behind the desk, and now is the time to speak.

“For the past 10 years I… Whoa!!”

Thud! Bang!!

“… “

It’s the perfect combination to pull the collar and throw me back into the cabinet and shut the door.
But how dare you interrupt my lines?!

Bang!!!

I ran my head through the cabinet door and came out again and grabbed Kim Hyeon-jun, who was having a snowball fight with Lee Sang-ho, by the collar.

“What are you doing?! You don’t know how famous this line is, but I saw it… “
“Do it in moderation.”
“… Fuck, you’re so serious that it’s embarrassing.”

Widely!

I scratched my itchy cheek for no reason at the sight of Kim Hyun-joon turning to the side and glaring at Lee Sang-ho while shaking off my hand. I grabbed Lee Sang-ho’s wrist as he reached out with my waist, pulled the entire pistol holster, and ripped it off.

“This is confiscated. And don’t shout for help, it’s noisy. How did we get in here without killing anyone? Do you understand the situation?”
“… “

Lee Sang-ho, who understands my words and keeps his mouth shut.
The reason we were able to enter this place without any fuss, even with soldiers on guard, was because of Kim Hyeon-joon’s words.
As soon as I rescued him from the basement, Kim Hyeon-joon, who suddenly strode toward the headquarters of the Combat Brigade, saying he had something to check, said one word to the soldiers standing guard that he had something to check before bloodlessly entering this place.
I thought he was just crazy, but he was a guy with a corner to believe.

“Why do you want to kill me?”
“It is a misunderstanding.”
“Crazy. Say what you believe.”
“Really! Captain Kim… No, Hyeonjun! Why would I want to kill you?!”
“Then what did you just say?”
“That..! Yes, it is true that I tried to kill you.”
“Crazy bastard, look at the change of attitude.”
“You be quiet.”
“This bastard is talking nonsense.”
“… “
“Okay. I’m out here The two of you will figure it out.”

I raised my hands and walked away, pushed Lee Sang-ho aside and sat down on the desk, and the two continued their conversation again.
No, Lee Sang-ho’s excuse continued.

“Lee Hyung-geun tricked me! It happened because you tricked me into trying to get rid of me and take over the Combat Brigade!”
“So you were just fooled by that lie and tried to get rid of me? Not even checking the facts?”
“Ha, I was going to, but you escaped him… “
“That guy?”

Clap-

“You wanna die?”
“… “

Gulp-

Lee Sang-ho, swallowing dry saliva at the gun pointed at his temple, quickly shook his head and continued his words.

“Ah, no.. I just made the wrong choice when I saw that he broke Ha-jin Kang’s escape by violating the order and the soldiers followed you more than me.. This is all because of Hyung-geun Lee’s alienation!”
“Fuck, what an excuse. It’s a waste of that star you’re wearing, you bastard. Just be cool and admit you lost.”
“Sah, save me! Hyun Joon! How many years have you and I been together! But I hope this trivial misunderstanding won’t kill me… “

Lee Sang-ho, who was on his knees begging, closed his mouth.
Keeping your mouth shut at this time can be seen for two reasons.
One is that he is so shabby that he is ashamed to speak any more, or he has other plans.
No, there is one more reason.
Was the opponent in front of you trying to kill you?
Standing in front of Lee Sang-ho, who was kneeling, Kim Hyeon-joon pulled out the dagger that the soldier guarding the basement had.

“Hyunjun… “
“I will not pursue power like you. You won’t even want power. As a soldier, I will protect the people. So put it all down. I will protect this place from now on.”
“… I get it…”
“What kind of presidential election are you running for?”
“Shut up.”
“Under… Did you forget I saved you? And it goes too far? I got a gun.”
“If you are only paying back your debt, stop being condescending. Because I am grateful enough.”
“If you are grateful, continue to express it. Or maybe three steps and one bow.”
“Are you a Buddhist too?”
“No religion.”
“… “

So we… No, Kim Hyeon-jun and the 1st Special Forces Battalion captured even Lieutenant Colonel Oh, who went out to kill Kim Hyeon-jun under orders from Lee Sang-ho, and completely took control of the combat brigade.
And tonight’s party had just begun.

“Even if there is a battle with the soldiers, keep the damage to a minimum. They are comrades that everyone should join forces with. Our target, me, the 1st Battalion, and Kang Ha-jin here will eliminate them, so you guys should inform them and convince them to surrender. Again, keep the damage to a minimum. Even if a battle is inevitable, casualties are reduced to a minimum. Got it?”
“Yes!!”
“Then, Major Park Jun-mo, please take command.”
“Leave it to me.”

Brigadier Lee Sang-ho, Lieutenant Colonel Oh, Major Park Joon-mo, and personnel with higher ranks than Kim Hyeon-joon were suppressed, and the current combat brigade has a total of 53 people.
It is said that a lot of coins go out to provide food and daily necessities for civilians who cannot hunt, and there are 14 cubs playing and eating only in the combat brigade.
Add to this the old men from the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the Ministry of National Defense, and that number would be well over 50.
Useless babies.
Of course, I’m not saying that hunting is impossible or useless because you’re a difficult person because you’re old.
In the case of civilians, if hunting is impossible, they do their part by doing chores such as fence repair and reinforcement work.
But aren’t you being too overtly pampered?

“Hey, when did I say I would help? Why are you trying to pamper people? If you’re going to pamper me, give me a coin.”
“You were the one who asked me to take over this place. And aren’t you trying to get revenge anyway? That’s what we’re going to help.”
“Don’t be mean. Is your revenge the same as mine? You’ll save everyone like an asshole again. What revenge is that? I’ll take care of myself, so just don’t interfere. Or take a nap and wake up.”
“If you go wild alone, the damage will increase, so I can’t do that. As I said, the damage should be minimal.”
“Fuck… I’ll just finish it and save you… “

To be honest, I can’t take revenge on the bastards who tried to kill me without Kim Hyun-joon’s help.
No matter how much a country is protected by a soldier with a gun, there is no power to penetrate it.
But if you’re going to save everyone, I don’t have much to gain… I’m going to have to kill one or two people while keeping an eye on them.
Fuck, if this guy or that guy didn’t have a gun, I’d just do my own thing.
Once we’ve got control of this place, we’ll have to deal with the gun, which is nothing more than a coin-eating machine.

Tadada dat-
Tadada dat-

Me, Kim Hyeon-joon, and the 1st Special Forces Battalion moving quickly through the darkness.
There are only 6 of us, but if these guys, including me, fight with all our might, we might be able to handle the joint staff of over 200 people.
Of course, they would have to engage in hit-and-run guerrilla warfare, but they were powerful enough to wipe out 200 people with 6 people.
Even with that kind of power, you’re hiding like a rat… Uh…

(By the way, is it okay to go here?)
(Yes, that’s right. There are no guards in the back, and it’s easy to infiltrate.)

Once I believed Jihoon Kim and continued moving, I arrived at the back of the Ministry of National Defense headquarters building.

Geuggeugguk!!

“Wow.. I’ve only seen that in movies, but you actually use it.”
“These equipment is very basic.”

Kim Ji-hoon, who actually used the tool to make a hole in the window by attaching it to the window and turning it round, opened the closed window with his hand, and through it we entered the Ministry of Defense building.
It was easy to get inside like that, but the problem is that the guards are brutal.
I heard that the Ministry of Defense doesn’t have a lot of military personnel, where did all these come from?
Of course, if you want to do it, it’s not a big deal to deal with, but it’s a troop.

(Let’s just shoot them all. Kill them and leave the rest alive.)
(As soon as gunshots are heard, it is an all-out war. No guns.)
(Then I’ll go and kill them. I’m just watching.)
(Again, damage should be minimal.)
“What the fuck..! Then what shall we do… Whoops!!”

At the same time as Kim Hyeon-jun, who covered my mouth, Kim Ji-hoon sat down behind me.
While holding both arms tight enough to immobilize them.
Damn, giving a man a back hug… I feel like shit!
There is a big difference in strength stats, so you can just open your arms and take it off…

“What did you hear?”
“Oh, did it sound like a horse?”
“Be vigilant as you follow. I’ll go first.”

A group of two guards began approaching the corner of the hallway where we were.
And Kim Hyeon-joon nodding his head, and the lieutenant and sergeant holding something in their stance.
What’s your name…

Snap! Fire!!
Kwak!!
Poop!!

“Ah! Jeong Min-soo, Ahn Tae-jin!”
“What?”
“Why?”
“I can’t remember the name at the moment.”
“… “
“… “

The moment Kim Hyun-joon pulled the muzzle slightly sticking out of the corner, Jung Min-soo and Ahn Tae-jin, who were hiding on the other side, jumped out, strangled them, and lightly subdued the two guards by slapping their necks.
Of course, the guards didn’t die, they just lost their minds, and we went up the emergency stairs to Cho Byeong-tae’s place, taking only two magazines each, including the one attached to the gun and the spare magazine.
Everyone else lives in the quarters used by soldiers, but he is the only one living in the Ministry of Defense building, using electricity to the fullest.
If you deal with that bastard, I’ll take it over.
If the inspiration disappears, there will be no reason for me to leave here.

(There are four guards in total, but there may be more troops out of sight or inside. Do not relax and subdue at once until you catch Minister Cho Byung-tae.)
(Aren’t you waiting this time?)
(The troops we suppressed on our way up here will soon be discovered. Then all the troops will gather here. The suppressed troops inform us of our destination. So from now on, let’s move quickly…)
“What are you whispering about? I go first.”

I don’t know what floor this is, but I know that it’s a height where you will surely die if you jump down.
And as Kim Hyeon-jun said, if all troops gather here, the emergency stairs, the only escape route, will be unavailable, and they will be surrounded by soldiers with guns.
So, we need to capture Cho Byeong-tae as a hostage as soon as possible.
Otherwise, it’s guerrilla warfare, and you’ll just be surrounded by gunfire and beehive.

“Ah! I have this.”

Jump-
Jerk-jerk-jerk-

“That crazy bastard…!”

Kim Hyun-joon’s voice came from behind.
However, leaving my weapon, the mace, I proudly opened the emergency stairway door and walked towards the place where the four soldiers were.
And seeing my self-assured appearance, the four soldiers asked with questions full of questions rather than alertness.

“Who are you..?”
“Is the minister in?”
“Yes.. You are there, but who are you..?”
“Wait for a sec! Are you strong… “
“That’s right.”

Two guards on each side with one door in between.
Among them, the one who was looking at my face closest to me was the first to figure out my identity, and I swung his right hand, which I clenched tightly, from the inside to the outside of my body and struck him in the face.

Poop!!!

With a light hitting sound, the muzzles of the soldier colliding with the wall immediately behind him and collapsing, and the soldier next to him and the soldier standing on the other side a few steps away, all at once lifted their guns.

Snap! Woe!!!

“Ahh!!”

When I grabbed the gun that was being lifted and pulled it to the side, the soldier who became my shield came with an overwhelming difference in strength.
I grabbed the guy who had become my shield by the neck and ran to it. I ran into the two soldiers who were unable to do this or that. I let go of my hand and swung my elbow with my right arm bent.

Quick!!

I frowned at the soldier who was falling apart like a doll whose thread had been cut, with my elbow firmly stuck to my chin, and I, who swung my right foot and slammed the face of the soldier who fell behind him, hurriedly raise his muzzle.

“Fuck… Let’s kill one guy! I risked my life like this, but I don’t have to earn anything!”
“Down the gun.”
“Down the gun and surrender. I have no intention of killing you.”

Kim Hyeon-joon puts his arm between me and the soldier sitting on the floor and the guys from the special warfare battalion who are approaching and aiming their guns at the last remaining guy.

“The situation is over. There is no need to kill them.”
“What the fuck..! Don’t follow me!!”

Yeah, I have no interest in these mere soldiers.
Turning to the side, I turned to the side and kicked the closed door as hard as I could to kill Cho Byeong-tae, who was receiving coins from the soldiers and employees of the Ministry of National Defense.

Bang!!!

“… What are you?”
