Rescue Operation (4)
Anthony, a reporter from the US CNC broadcasting station, was broadcasting with wide, amazed eyes.
Even rescue experts said the presidential palace would collapse with the slightest touch, yet a cleaning company with dozens of people had completely cleared the debris from the first floor.
How on earth was this possible?
Anthony called it amazing technology.
“Da Dakka is a company with world-class technology. It started as a cleaning service, but it has expanded its business to the food industry and construction with the Yi Sun-sin Project [likely a reference to a large-scale or innovative undertaking, named after a famous Korean admiral] and difficult construction complementation.”
“Mr. Reporter, is he a scientist?”
“I don’t think so. I heard he originally ran a Korean restaurant, but there are rumors that he’s a genius. Now I can believe that the rumor is true.”
Anthony shook his head.
How could someone who ran a restaurant develop technology to that level in just a few years?
He was currently pursuing small businesses compared to his technology, but the scale of his business would soon grow.
While he was broadcasting, an informant ran up.
“Reporter, there is a time bomb installed on the first basement floor.”
“A time bomb!? Didn’t they all explode?”
“I heard it’s a specially designed time bomb.”
“The source of the information…….”
“It’s anonymous, but I think it was reported by the rebels.”
“Ah, I see.”
Defense ministers and many others were being rescued.
In the midst of this, they reveal that there is a time bomb? There must be a political reason for their actions.
Maybe it’s mocking the US military.
This is a scoop.
Most of the information was being blocked by the CIA.
There was also intelligence that there would be a bombing, but it was likely to be groundless, and even if a bombing did occur, the US military would stop it.
But what if there was a bomb inside?
The workers there would all die.
“Breaking news! There is a time bomb in that place…….”
Kuaaaang!
A huge explosion occurred.
Smoke billowed and debris flew around, causing people to duck their heads.
“Kyaaaa!”
Anthony too.
It was an unexpected explosion.
Of course, since it exploded inside, no one could have predicted it.
As the dust settled, firefighters were immediately deployed. They were putting out the fire.
“Ah, it’s a heartbreaking sight! It seems that all the people working inside were killed in the explosion a little while ago. Then surely the president too……. Huh?”
A huge explosion occurred, but people were coming out of the scene.
They continued to rescue people as if they didn’t care about the explosion that had just occurred.
“…….”
Anthony was speechless.
“Ah……. How are they alive?”
She muttered, forgetting that she was on live broadcast.
CIA Headquarters, underground bunker.
An explosion just occurred at the presidential palace.
Of course, the headquarters were on emergency alert.
“It’s an internal explosion!”
“An internal explosion! Didn’t you say there was a bombing a while ago!?”
“It seems that explosives were installed inside. It is also true that there may be a bombing from the outside, but that is…….”
“Was there prior sabotage?”
Thud!
Catherine’s head was spinning.
Her goal was to save the president. The other people were also important, of course, but the person who had the greatest impact on the current situation was ISIS.
But with this explosion, even if he survived by luck in the basement, he would have died. The rescue teams could no longer hold out.
She was thinking about giving up.
“Huh? They’re fine!”
“What!?”
She jumped up from her seat.
There was no way people could be fine when such an explosion occurred inside.
“They’re covered in dust, but they’re still rescuing people.”
“How can that be……. What on earth happened?”
Kugugu!
The first basement floor of the presidential palace.
Aftershocks were occurring.
Somehow, they succeeded in preventing the explosion.
Who would have thought that a time bomb would be installed inside? If they hadn’t prepared in advance, they would have been in big trouble.
Fortunately, the structure of the first basement floor was all finished. Then the explosion occurred and they somehow stopped it.
It was the influence of the shield and spirit field [likely referring to some kind of protective energy field or technology].
It was a huge explosion, but they were able to stop it.
“That was a close call.”
“Tell me about it. Who knew it would be such a dangerous mission.”
“Dangerous my ass? It’s safe no matter how many explosions occur.”
Lynn shrugged her shoulders.
She had a look in her eyes that wanted something, but there was no way. It was originally absurd for a slave to want something from their master.
Chiiik!
Han Cheol-soo’s voice is heard.
-Are you okay?
“As you can see, I’m fine.”
-I thought you were dead. When the explosion occurred, I thought there was no way even you could do anything.
“I expected it.”
-You expected it!?
“I wouldn’t have thought of coming here unless safety was guaranteed.”
-Hahaha! You’re the best!
“I think you should raise the amount? It’s more dangerous than I thought. I almost died.”
-Haha! I’ll discuss giving you an additional 5 billion won [approximately $3.7 million USD] as compensation.
“Thank you.”
“Wow, making money is easy?”
He demanded an increase in price because the risk was high, and Han Cheol-soo raised it by 5 billion won as if it were natural.
Seeing that I am gradually losing my sense of money, I thought it might be time for a bigger business.
I should think about what kind of business I can turn into an auto mode along with the uninhabited island development. Fortunately, I will have plenty of bullets loaded when this is over [likely a metaphor for having ample resources or capital].
Catherine’s voice is heard on the radio.
It seemed that she was very worried too.
-President. Are you okay?
“You’re calling early.”
-I was so embarrassed.
“I’m fine.”
-What on earth……. What kind of technology did you use?
I shrugged my shoulders.
She was probably watching the scene now. All the debris had been cleared.
“It’s confidential.”
Fifth basement floor.
It was difficult to clear the debris because there were various facilities including parking lots up to the third basement floor, but it became easier to work when I came down to the fifth basement floor.
From here, simple stairs continued. That’s why I was able to reach the 5th floor in an instant.
But when I got here, I was hungry and the sun was rising.
Lynn reacts first.
“Wow, I’m going to die. Let’s eat and do it.”
“Shall we?”
I was also reaching my limit.
I leave the undead here and go outside.
There were no surveillance cameras on the 5th basement floor, so Catherine’s side could not catch our movements.
When I went outside, many people were watching this place.
Han Cheol-soo comes over with a bag.
“You’ve worked hard!”
“You’re welcome.”
“You’ve already gone down to the 5th basement floor. Did you say the president is on the 10th floor?”
“Yes. That’s what the detector says.”
“It must be the president and his party.”
“It’s probably right. He’s buried with his bodyguards.”
“If possible, you must save the president. That way, we’ll have something to say to the United States.”
When I took out the bag, there was rice, kimchi [a traditional Korean fermented dish], and some side dishes.
I wondered if it was a lunch box.
“Where did you get this?”
“I brought it through a helicopter while you were working.”
“You used a helicopter for rice?”
“Korean people have to work with rice, right? So I made a special order.”
“I will enjoy the meal.”
“Eat a lot.”
There was no damage from the explosion, but there were quite a few scratches from working.
I didn’t think about treating it.
This was because we had to show that we were sacrificing ourselves so that we could extract a lot from the United States.
How would our appearance look in people’s eyes?
“You know politics. Hahaha. You’ll probably be even more famous tomorrow.”
I shrugged my shoulders once.
Now that it has come to this, I could not just be stuck on an uninhabited island. More than anything, if I go up to 5 circles [likely referring to reaching a certain level of power or influence], I can pick an undead with a human form, and although it is clumsy, it can also speak. In other words, it means that communication is possible.
If I practice, I think I will be able to communicate easily. So I think I can make the board bigger [likely a metaphor for expanding his operations or influence].
“What are your plans for the future?”
“I think I need to do a big business. I have to take advantage of the opportunity.”
“Hahaha! I hope we can have a win-win relationship in the future.”
“Of course. I would be reassured if H Group was behind me.”
“Don’t worry.”
At this point, it was no different from having H Group as a sponsor.
At first, it was a disposable relationship, but now it has developed into a relationship where we can trade continuously.
“Are you going to save the president now?”
“Yes. I think I can save him in the morning.”
The debris is quickly cleared.
It was a simple structure, so I could clean it up quickly, but I had to be careful when I got to the 9th floor. This is because it suddenly widens.
On the 9th floor, there were emergency food and some weapons stored.
I had to be more careful because the stored armory could explode if I made a mistake. It wasn’t to the point where rescue experts would come forward to clear the debris.
After passing the 9th floor, it is the 10th floor.
There was an elevator going down to the bunker, and the president was trapped there.
I was planning to save him in the morning, so if there were no other problems, I would be able to complete the mission and return to Korea.
Tadadada!
The outside was clearly exposed and helicopters were coming and going.
Now that the president was about to be rescued, the US military was paying more attention to defense.
Since a bomb exploded inside, there was a possibility that there would be an attack from the outside.
US military helicopters flew around periodically, but when they reached the 7th floor, one helicopter descended fiercely.
“Master!”
“What is that.”
It was a fleeting moment, but I could see the helicopter pilot’s eyes.
He was wearing a military uniform, but he was not a US soldier. Then it must be a spy who infiltrated from the rebels and is trying to commit suicide at the risk of his life.
The helicopter flew and collided, and I immediately deployed a reinforced shield.
Kuaaaang!
The bombs loaded on the helicopter exploded here, engulfing the area in flames.
Hwareureureuk!
Judging from the screams, it seems that there were a considerable number of injuries.
This is already the second attack.
Lynn frowned.
“It’s dangerous even for us, isn’t it?”
“Don’t worry. You won’t die.”
“It’s a bomb terror if you’re bored.”
Lynn grumbled.
It was already the second attack, so she had every right to grumble. It makes me realize that I am in the middle of a battlefield.
If I hadn’t taken precautions, I would have lost my life twice.
“Put down the tools.”
I don’t think this will work.
“What are you going to do?”
“Even if I put my life on the line, that’s not right. I have to negotiate with the CIA and get something more. I can’t do this. It feels like a loss.”
