Rescue Operation (3)
CIA Headquarters, underground bunker.
The current situation was not looking good.
They didn’t know when the rebels would attack, and they didn’t know how the rebels would react if they heard that key government figures were being rescued.
They were blocking important information, but there were limits. The CIA couldn’t control the war correspondents.
The outward justification was the defense of democracy.
In America, they couldn’t openly commit acts that undermined democracy.
Therefore, they were closely monitoring the situation and directing the rescue operation.
Rescue expert James had been called in.
So far, dozens of people had been rescued, including the Minister of Defense. With such tremendous success, Deputy Director Katherine had hope.
And she was consulting the expert again.
“Team Leader James, how do you see the current situation?”
“Well… it was impossible to touch the structures.”
“But they are being rescued. By clearing away the debris.”
“Frankly, it doesn’t make sense. What kind of new technology is needed to do that…”
“You mean it’s not in the realm of science?”
“It could be science, or it could not be. It could be possible with advanced science.”
“Can I interpret that to mean that this person has technology that the United States does not possess?”
“That’s how it seems.”
Katherine’s expression twisted slightly.
Katherine, a great patriot, felt jealousy towards Korea.
When the Yi Sun-sin Project [referring to a historical Korean admiral and his legendary innovations] and some other ridiculous technologies were unveiled, she wondered if they were fabricated.
But now it seems that they are not.
In short, President Lee Yoosung’s technology seemed to be out of this world.
Katherine felt the need to investigate further.
“Adjust President Lee Yoosung’s level to top priority.”
“Yes, Deputy Director.”
Perhaps Lee Yoosung was the card that could allow the United States to build an eternal empire.
As she was lost in thought, she heard the agent’s voice.
“President Lee Yoosung’s employees have arrived!”
There were 30 of them, wearing special suits and helmets.
A beautiful woman with black hair and black eyes was leading them.
“President Lee Yoosung’s employees. Surely they are not people with ordinary backgrounds.”
In front of the Presidential Palace, which had collapsed and was now just rubble.
It was late at night when Lynn arrived.
Her expression was full of sleepiness, as if she had been sleeping until now.
I almost hit her on the back of the head, but I held back because there were too many eyes watching.
“Why are you so late?”
“Huh? I came right away?”
“You should have sorted out the personnel and come sooner.”
“Ha? Do you know how quickly I prepared and came? You should be telling me I did a good job at times like this.”
“Your sass has increased a lot?”
“I was born with a bad personality, what can I do?”
She shrugged her shoulders.
She was perfectly aware that I couldn’t hit her. If I hit a beautiful woman in a public place like this, it would become a global issue.
While I was bickering with her, Chief Han Cheolsoo approached.
“Hehehe. Finally, I meet you, K.”
“How does an old man know my nickname?”
“Isn’t it a fairly famous nickname in your world? Hehehe.”
He was talking about the gangster world.
In the gangster world, K was known as the embodiment of terror.
If she had made up her mind, the gangster world would have been completely pacified. And she could have reigned as the queen of the underworld.
If I hadn’t been there, Lynn would have taken over the entire underworld.
“Then let’s get started.”
“Please take care of us.”
Han Cheolsoo bowed slightly to Lynn.
“Old man, step back and watch.”
“Yes, I will.”
“Ha. You really have no manners at all?”
“Didn’t you know?”
It seemed that she was quite dissatisfied with the current situation.
She had become a slave, but she had a rebellious spirit. She was a woman who could never be controlled without shackles.
“Let’s go in.”
Tap. Tap.
As we entered the rubble, there was moisture everywhere.
What the survivors needed was water.
Since water had been sprayed until now, the dirty water would have gone down, and the survivors would somehow be drinking this water to survive.
Of course, they didn’t know what germs might be present, so they had to be transported to the hospital as soon as they were rescued.
Spraying water on the rubble was not the best option, but it was the second best. The worst-case scenario was dying from dehydration, so they were forced to drink somewhat contaminated water to survive. There was a reason why water was sprayed first when such incidents occurred.
However, doing so made it difficult to carry out rescue operations.
If water got into the poorly stacked structures, they would become heavy and could collapse.
If I didn’t have Spirit Field, I wouldn’t have done such a foolish thing as to enter this hell.
“Deploy Spirit Field and quickly clear the debris.”
“How much rescue has been done?”
“Probably a lot of people are buried. Because it’s the Presidential Palace. All the key figures were gathered here for a meeting.”
“So they got hit.”
“Yes. The palace itself collapsed.”
Crack! Crackle!
Even though the authorities had cut off the electricity, the Presidential Palace had an emergency generator.
Even if there was not enough power, it meant that it could produce enough electricity to last for a while. Now that generator was running, so if you touched it wrong, you could be electrocuted.
Of course, that didn’t apply to us.
We always wore shields on our bodies in case of unforeseen circumstances. Even if money is good, we can’t give up our lives.
As expected, with Lynn here, I felt like I had a little magic left.
It was better to have even a small hand than just one hand.
The debris was being cleared quickly.
The enhanced undead were mine. I couldn’t summon undead here, so I had Lynn bring them.
The undead with enhanced bodies were clearing the debris at an incredible speed.
“Ugh! Save me!”
“What are they saying?”
“Most of them can speak English, so just speak in English. You can speak English, right?”
“Hmph. What do you think of me? Of course, I can.”
The rescue operation begins in earnest.
As soon as she arrived, she cleared the debris and rescued five people.
The speed of rescuing people was getting faster and faster.
In the underground bunker, they were watching the amazing things that were happening and couldn’t hide their excitement.
They thought it was fast when President Lee Yoosung was clearing the debris alone, but everyone who was put into this place seemed to be made of iron.
The sight of them easily lifting debris weighing hundreds of kilograms did not seem normal at all.
Katherine and several experts say that it is impossible.
“How can a person use such strength like a machine…”
“I heard it’s an enhanced suit.”
Chief Han Cheolsoo, who had approached, explained.
Katherine frowned.
“An enhanced suit?”
“Yes. It is President Lee Yoosung’s suit, created with advanced science. However, it is said that mass production is impossible because it is handmade.”
“Hmph. It sounds like an excuse?”
“I’m just telling you what I know.”
To make such an absurd suit.
She felt like kidnapping him right away. But that was something that could only be done in the worst-case scenario.
Because you never know how someone with such talent will change if you harm them.
“Besides, who is that woman…”
“She is President Lee Yoosung’s employee. She seems to be wearing the same suit.”
“What’s keeping the debris from collapsing?”
“It’s a magnetic field.”
“A magnetic field.”
“I don’t know the principle. I heard that the exploration uses low-frequency waves, but that is also a technology that surpasses current science.”
Katherine’s head became confused.
The fact that they were holding the rubble of the building using a magnetic field, the suit using nanoparticles, and even the low-frequency detector.
The United States was investing enormous amounts of money in the development of science and technology every year. But she had never heard of such technology.
“The more I see him, the more I want him…”
“Deputy Director!”
“What’s wrong?”
“There is intelligence that there will be an attack soon! Should we withdraw the workers?”
“An attack?”
“Yes!”
“Keep it confidential.”
“Huh! What do you mean!?”
Han Cheolsoo immediately retorted.
President Lee Yoosung is a talent of the Republic of Korea. He was saying to leave him alone when the place where such a talent was working could be bombed.
“He is a citizen of the Republic of Korea.”
“Did someone with that level of technology not know that this was a battlefield?”
“……”
“He must have made some preparations.”
Han Cheolsoo groaned.
He had temporarily forgotten who the woman in front of him was.
She is the Deputy Director of the CIA. She handled information and was the kind of person who would collect any information if she had the chance.
Before he knew it, the debris on the first floor was almost cleared.
When they cleared the debris, they realized that there were more survivors than they thought.
The Presidential Palace itself was designed to withstand explosions. No, realistically, there was no building that could withstand explosions, but it was structurally designed to allow as many people as possible to survive.
Thanks to that, many people were rescued alive.
Of course, many bodies were also found.
Lynn wanted to turn them all into undead, but that was impossible here, so the bodies were covered with white cloths and transported.
While they were working, Han Cheolsoo radioed.
-Hey. Withdraw immediately.
“What’s going on?”
-There is intelligence that the rebels will bomb the Presidential Palace. Your actions are being exposed to the media right now.
“I see.”
-Can you get out right away? No matter how important the rescue is, there is intelligence that they will bomb…
“No. I am grateful just for you letting me know.”
-Are you really okay?
“Who do you think I am? Don’t worry, I have that much skill.”
It was fortunate that such intelligence came in after Lynn arrived.
If I had been alone, it would have been difficult to defend the entire building.
-Then I wish you good luck.
Chief Han Cheolsoo did not insist any further.
His role was enough just to inform them of the danger.
Lynn frowned.
“What should we do?”
“What do you mean what should we do? We need to strengthen the Spirit Field and cover this entire place with shields. It will consume a lot of magic, so let’s deploy the shields when something flies in.”
“You said it wasn’t very dangerous? This is the middle of a battlefield.”
“Huh? Isn’t this the middle of a battlefield? Didn’t you know?”
