Kiht hand
Kim Tae Hoon lifted his head
In a fairly large hout and the soldiers ere practicing dissecting the monsters to retrieve thedissecting walk out of the training grounds and sarette with their blood covered hands
He listened in on their conversation
“Huu, I do not kno to dissect the ”
“I am the same as well”
“fuck, but whether it’s because of this shi+tty task or not, the cigarettes taste even better”
The soldiers ere exhaling s had a tired expression on their faces
“It was a really ridiculous day”
“Was it really just a day? The ti”
“I can’t believe it’s only January first It feels like it’s been ten years”
It had felt like this one day had been an eternity
What more, the entirety of the day was full of Kim Tae Hoon’s face
‘So a day has passed’
Kinified the new year, and quite frankly, it was quite difficult for him to believe it
Huu!
Kihed White mist from his breath plumed in front of his eyes
He started to recall old memories from his past where he was forced to ithout rest for over 24 hours
Various people’s faces flashed in front of his eyes They had long since become faces he could only see in his memories
Kian to settle
A woman approached Kim Tae Hoon
“We’ve loaded up two dump trucks, two military trucks, and four SUVs eapons sir”
It was Second Lieutenant Kim Su Ji
“Good work”
Sitting on a crude wooden bench, he gave Kim Su Ji a short reply He didn’t turn to look at her
However, instead of turning around, Ki at her, Ki
“If you have so to say, do it”
“What was your rank sir?”
“Major”
“Ah”
A little surprised, Kim Su Ji nodded at his words
‘Major?’
She didn’t kno old Kim Tae Hoon was
However, he didn’t seem that old He looked like he was in his early 30’s
That hy she was surprised [TN: Just an FYI, in the US aro from Second Lieutenant -> First Lieutenant -> Captain -> Major]
In the Korean Ar, anyone who could reach the rank of Major while being in their early 30’s was someone who completed the elite course in the shortest amount of time
What more, it would have to have been the best elite course that promoted the soldier nonstop Anyone who accessed such an elite course would have their nahout the military
If Kim Tae Hoon had only completed normal tasks as an officer, then there was no way he could have become a major
In other words, Kim Tae Hoon had completed extraordinary tasks
“Excuse ned sir?”
“I was under Major General Chang Young Sung, anything more than that won’t matter”
“What do you mean it won’t matter?”
“There won’t be any official records in the archives No matter what I say, there won’t be any evidence to what I say”
“Evidence doesn’t matter now sir”
Kim Tae Hoon raised her head at Kim Su Ji’s repeated questions He saw the determination in her eyes
‘Brigadier General Ki positive about Major General Chang Young Sung······’
Her grandfather, Ki Sung’s role
Because of that, he would have warned his grand daughter
To not get involved with Chang Young Sung in any way
However, her asking questions meant that she had made up her mind
To Kim Tae Hoon, Kiuilt while constantly questioning her superior
Because of that, Kim Tae Hoon answered her question
“A secret black ops tearoups or factions that pose a threat to the nation”
A unit consisting of himself
“It’s a unit that doesn’t have a nas solely to me”
It was a brief explanation, but it was enough One could only guess what Kim Tae Hoon had done as a soldier
Being a member of such a top secret and specialized unit, one could only guess howactive duty
Because of that, Kis
“Thank you for telling me sir”
Without answering, Kim Tae Hoon closed his eyes
With his eyes closed, the face that he had recalled earlier once again appeared before him
It began to speak to him
You must survive, even if it’s only you, captain, you must survive······
Recalling those words, Kim Tae Hoon could only s a bitter smile
‘I did not become a soldier to survive, but ever since then, survival became my only purpose’
Kim Tae Hoon opened his mouth
“Do you have any more questions?”
Kiht that there was another opportunity to ask a question, so she asked
“Why did you decide to organize a clan? Wouldn’t it have been more convenient to remain active in the army in name?”
“I joined the army and chose to hunt nore the people or the country Of course, if you had seen what the ROK army had done since the monsters appeared, anyone would see flaws, but they wouldn’t be too big”
Kim Tae Hoon didn’t comment on what she said It was unreasonable to adhere to a soldier’s mentality since you would have to break it for the sake of survival Without saying anything, hiswould be clear anyways
An uninvited person suddenly appeared
“Boss”
Ki Hoon who just appeared with a sour expression on her face
Further of the title that the self-invited Chang Sung Hoon gave Kim Tae Hoon
“Is it alright if I estion?”
Ignoring Kim Su Ji, he asked Kim Tae Hoon
“Wouldn’t it be a good idea to use monster leather to make some sort of armor?”
