chapter 33
Episode 33
With the dripping sword hanging down, Jeongmin looked at the soldiers.
The soldiers were looking at Jeong-min, who was unable to fire, with a confused expression.
“You guys… killed Junki?”
As Jeong-min muttered, he was about to run into the soldiers,
“I’m not all dead!”
The man in the suit, who was lying down to avoid the gunfire, got up and said to Jung-min.
“Well, as far as I know, not all troops were annihilated. Besides, since [Daesung]’s forces are already confirmed to come under the [Phugang] as a shelter, most of them were kept alive and detained.”
Jeongmin looked coldly at the man in a suit who spoke urgently.
“..is it true?”
“Yes, it is true. He is probably in prison.”
Jung-min listened to the man’s words and calmed down his boiling heart.
“But why did you say that the deputy shelter chief killed everyone?”
“In fact, Vice Shelter Commander ordered everyone to be killed. However, Shelter Commander quietly persuaded the Commander-in-Chief of the combat unit. If we kill them all, the antipathy will grow too great, so it’s better to keep some alive in order to placate public sentiment later..”
“… where are the detention facilities”
“that’s-“
As the man was about to say something, the conference room door burst open.
A man with a huge build and soldiers with guns lined up behind him.
The man looked around the meeting room and spoke loudly.
“what? Are you all alive and well? There were so many gunshots…”
The eyes of the man who was looking at the conference hall came to the corpse of the main guest, split in half and scattered in front of the podium.
“yes? What is that… Huh?!! Boo-boo-boo Shelter Head?!”
The man’s eyes widened to the size of a bell.
The man’s eyes, which grew as they grew, soon filled with anger, and he shouted at the soldiers standing behind him with a distorted face.
“Kill them all!”
Soldiers rushed in and spread out on either side and began to stand.
Soon, a soldier who seemed to be the commander shouted.
“Open fire!”
A loud gunshot rang out, and the people seated at the far end of the conference room began to fall.
They hurriedly took out something from each inventory and tried to defend themselves, but they all lay down on the cold floor without being able to do anything about the pouring bullets.
Jo Won hurriedly lowered his body, but it was the same that he could not stop the flying bullets.
However, he was able to save his life thanks to the translucent shield that suddenly appeared in front of him.
A shield that blocks bullets and then shatters with a ‘Chang-Geurang’ sound.
However, one more shield was created and blocked the other bullets.
Even when the second shield is broken and no more shields are created, the moment you try to get frustrated,
“Come this way!”
A man and a woman holding something huge blocked Jo Won’s path.
[Star] The guild’s guild leader, Kim Hae-yoon, and assistant guild leader Jeon Ji-yeon.
Hae-yoon and Ji-yeon block Jo-won’s path with a clunky shield made by cutting thick plywood and attaching several layers of thin iron.
The shield made a loud sound, bouncing flames continuously.
Hae-yoon shouted at Ji-yeon, who was standing behind.
“Do something! Even this ‘Aias’ shield’ won’t last long!”
“’Aias’ was roughly made at a woodworking shop! And what can I do when there are bullets pouring down on me!”
Just as the two were bickering, Jung-min, who was standing on the stage in the auditorium, swung his sword from left to right.
Something in the shape of a crescent moon quickly jumped out of Jung-min’s sword and slashed past the soldiers who were shooting.
“Keah!”
Confirming that the soldiers who were shooting were screaming and collapsing, Jung-min continued to shoot the ‘sword skill’ at the rest of the soldiers.
As the soldiers shooting in front of him collapsed, Ha Sang-tae, a tall man standing behind him, gritted his teeth and rushed at Jeong-min.
“How dare this guy!”
Jung-min threw his sword again at Sang-tae who was running towards him.
When Sang-tae crossed his arms in the shape of an X, a white light rose from the crossed arms, and with the sound of ‘Kaang’, the sword disappeared as if it were breaking.
“You’re messing around with just one stupid skill! die!”
After blocking the sword, Sang-tae screamed triumphantly and rushed to punch Jung-Min.
Sang-tae, who had no doubt that the white-lit fist would crush Jeong-min’s head, had no choice but to let out a dazed sound right away.
“uh..?”
Seeing Jung-min grabbing his fist casually, Sang-tae put on a puzzled expression.
Soon he tried to pull his fist out, but no matter how hard he tried, the fist in Jung-min’s hand wouldn’t budge.
Jung-min looked at the people who were lying down and said with a dejected look.
“You really care less about people’s lives… if that’s the case…”
– You must be poisoned. Mr. Jeongmin-
Jimin looked straight at the situation.
“I won’t take your lives for granted either.”
fast
The sound of bones cracking was heard in Jungmin’s hand.
“Kuaaa!!”
Status screamed and stepped back.
The hand held by Jung-min was strangely bent without taking on the shape that could be called a hand.
The scream in the state of screaming while looking at his hand suddenly stopped.
It was because the head and body were separated by Jeong-Min’s sword that cut through his neck before he knew it.
Head and body in state of rolling on the floor.
Once again, there was silence in the conference room.
After shaking off the sword, Jung-min said to the man in the suit behind him.
“To the detention facility… No, there would be no point in going there now. Please guide me to where the shelter is.”
“She, to where the shelter is?”
Jimin nodded and said.
“Yes, the situation at this conference hall has not been known yet, so I wouldn’t say I’m particularly wary. I will go and meet the shelter chief now.”
Jung-min looked away from the man in the suit and walked towards Jo-won.
Joe was sitting on the floor with a blank expression.
“Are you okay?”
When Jung-min asked, Jo-won answered helplessly.
“Yes, thanks… I was able to survive thanks to the help of the people here. ”
Jung-min took out several bottles of potion from his inventory and handed them to Jo-won.
“Please treat the living as much as possible. And there are two of you.”
Having been called, Hae-yoon and Ji-yeon flinched and looked at Jeong-min.
Jeongmin bowed his head to the two of them.
“Thanks to you two, we were able to save the CEO of [Daesung]. Thank you so much.”
“Ugh. Well, people could die right in front of you, but wouldn’t it be natural to save them! If it’s a problem, this mythical item, ‘Aias’s Shield’ has been damaged a lot, quite a lot!”
Hae-yoon, who was talking kindly, was kicked in the shin by Ji-yeon and sat down screaming.
Jiyeon smiled at Jungmin and said.
“Of course I did what I had to do. Never mind”
“I have a place to visit for a while.. I will make sure to repay you when I return. So, can you stay with Daesung’s representative until I return? It won’t take too long.”
“Ah, of course. Leave the representative to us and go comfortably. But the enemy won’t attack this place again, right?”
The answer to Ji-yeon’s question came from Jung-min’s back.
“It probably won’t come right away. The only prepared reserve unit was Ha Sang-tae’s unit, who had just died. The sound of gunshots was also expected, so the outside wasn’t really paying attention to what was going on here. It won’t be very long.”
Hearing what the man in the suit said, Jeongmin stared at him.
“.. You’re quite cooperative, aren’t you?”
“Of course it should. I am a person who has survived by noticing to stand in line so far. It seems you are the one I need to hold on to now.”
Jeongmin looked at him with puzzled eyes and then looked around.
Most of the people at the back table, close to the entrance of the conference hall, were shot dead.
However, most of the people at the front table were injured, but many were alive.
Jo Won was going around and treating the injured by spraying potions on them.
Jung-min said to Hae-yoon as he looked at the fallen soldiers hit by his sword skill.
“Those soldiers are not dead yet. Please discuss with the representatives of each shelter and guild and take care of it yourself. And..”
Jeongmin looked at the soldiers standing in front of the podium.
They were the soldiers who opened fire on Jung-min at first.
Jung-Min walked towards them, and the soldiers flinched back.
Jungmin said.
“Drop the gun”
The soldiers all put their guns down on the floor.
Jung-min said to Hae-yoon and Ji-yeon, who had followed him.
“Please take all these guns away. And I will leave the disposal of these soldiers. We will be back as soon as possible. Just in case something happens before that…”
Jung-min’s left wrist glowed and a large tower shield was held in his hand.
Jung-min handed Hae-yoon the tower shield and said.
“Once you have this shield, it will be able to replace your child’s shield. It will not disappear until I cancel the summoning, so please use this for a while.”
Haeyun handed over the shield with blank eyes.
However, he immediately frowned and stumbled.
“Oops… this is too… heavy..”
“Ah.. is it very heavy? Is it unusable?”
“No… not to that extent. However, it seems that you have to put it on the ground and use it.”
Hae-yoon looked at Jung-min with surprised eyes.
‘It’s obviously a shield he was holding with one hand… What the hell is his strength stat?’
Seeing Jung-min lightly lifting with one hand a weight that he barely could have lifted using a dragon with both hands, Hae-yoon let out his tongue.
After giving Hae-yoon the shield, Jeong-min said to the man in the suit.
“Then let’s go. I have to go quickly.”
The man in the suit nodded and said.
“Follow me”
The man in the suit walked away, followed by Jung-min.
Leaving the meeting room and moving quickly, the man said.
“First of all, I am Yang Hye-seong. I hold the position of chief of staff in the secretary’s office at this [Phulkang] shelter.”
“Looks like it’s a big shelter and even has a secretary’s office.”
“Yes, anyway… I am giving this guide because I have something else to tell you. Could you please listen?”
Jung-min asked Hye-seong as he passed the soldiers standing guard in the middle of the hallway.
“Tell me.”
“Perhaps..”
Hyeseong looked around and said to Jungmin.
“Are you thinking of killing the president… no, the shelter chief?”
Jung-min looked at the comet blankly and said.
“well. I think we will know what to do when we meet and talk. I am thinking that if I am a person similar to the sub shelter chief, I will walk the same path as the sub shelter chief.”
“Lord, don’t kill me!”
Jung-min looked at the comet as he spoke urgently.
Hyesung spoke to Jung-min in a desperate voice.
“The Shelter Chief is a good person. At least he’s not a vicious person like the deputy shelter leader or the general commander of the Awoken troops. He has always talked about coexistence and cooperation with neighboring shelters. But because of the deputy shelter leader’s dogma… He is a pitiful person. Please listen to his story, and please help him. If he dies, the future of this shelter is… so… how about killing him…”
“Hmm..”
Jung-min thought deeply as he listened to Hye-sung.
‘Well, unlike the deputy Shelter Commander who tried to annihilate the units of other Shelters.
“You will find out when you meet and talk. Let’s go.”
At Jung-min’s words, Hye-seong let out a sigh of relief.
“Yes, if you have a proper conversation, you will see that he is a different person from the deputy shelter chief. That… Please take care of me.”
As the two reached the end of the hallway, they saw an elevator.
The two of them got into the elevator and went up to the highest floor.
When the elevator door opened, I saw a door with a luxurious design on the opposite side.
Next to the door stood guard by two stout-built giants in military uniforms.
As Jung-Min and Hye-Sung approached, one of the soldiers standing guard stopped them and said,
“Chief Secretary? What business are you here for? I didn’t hear that you had an appointment with the Shelter commander.”
“Something urgent has come up, so I think I need to see Mr. Shelter. Are you inside?”
“There is. But I can’t see you right now. He’s in the middle of a meeting with the commander-in-chief.”
Hyesung’s face wrinkled slightly.
“Captain.. you mean? what brings you here..”
“That’s what we don’t know. Anyway, not now. Please come back later when the meeting with the commander-in-chief is over.”
Jung-min, who was listening to the conversation between the two, stepped forward and spoke to Hye-seong.
“I don’t have time to be like this. Come on in.”
“What are you?
Jung-Min’s fist got stuck in the stomach, and the soldier fell to the ground and couldn’t get up.
Another soldier on the other side hurriedly put his hand into his inside pocket and tried to pull something out, but
Jung-min’s fist rushed at him like a full moon, and he fell to the floor with him.
Jung-Min said to Hye-Sung after knocking down two soldiers.
“Let’s go in.”
