Chapter 56 (1/2)
So, here’s the catch I don’t know if the Six Snakes (Sixth Snake) is a single person or an organization The language keeps swapping between plural and singular, so when I actually figure it out, I’ll be sure to let you all know Just keep in mind that I myself am not sure at the moment

Kim Yuri and Kim Joohyuk
The two soldiers from the 35th Battalion Special assault Team had the same nickname
Ace
Even within the 35th Battalion Special assault Team where only the best of the best were recruited, the both of them had stood out
Their inherent talent was superior, their goals were placed higher, and their deter
They had it all
Pride, self-esteem, and self-confidence!
All of these things gave them conviction They were confident that despite whatever happened, be it accidents or unplanned circuned to them
But everything they had broke into pieces on December 31st
In the battles following the appearance of the
They couldn’t kill the et to where they needed to, they couldn’t keep what they needed to keep, and they couldn’t save those that they needed to save
It was a series of terrible failures across the span of a few terrible days
And at the end of all of that was despair
Battle after battle, one day they looked around in the middle of a battle and realized that the Korea that they reer existed
Skyscrapers were collapsed onto the floor entangled with each other, there were broken andbeen eaten partway through, and as the clock kept ticking, screams resounded from every corner of the city
The future given to those who had survived was merely a culmination of despair
There weren’tto face more despair despite the fact that they survived
Both Kiht that the world would only amount to that
In fact, they were right
Wherever they went, inside or outside of Seoul, despair was overfloith no hope to be seen
But this place was different
Bucheon City
Kim Joohyuk and Kim Yuri had only seen the city on a etic city could not be on the map
There was construction work being done in a park for the purposes of installing solar panels, other public spaces were reserved forout ruins and roads
They could even see workers on break, s chocolate bars or ramen noodles
‘How can they laugh?'
Those weren’t working at the
It was a scene that would never been seen in Seoul The survivors in Seoul carried out similar jobs, but in their case, it was essentially forced labor The only way to receive rations was to carry out hard labor while under the barrel of a gun
‘It’s like a different world here’
Thewas the people who noticed that Kim Tae Hoon had appeared
It wasn’t enough to simply describe ords such as respect, faith, or love
It was more than that
There were no words to describe what they were expressing
It was so else
In Seoul, the Awakened and the soldiers were looked upon with fear and trepidation, not respect and admiration
It was shocking in many ways
Both Kim Yuri and Kim Joohyuk were so shocked that they couldn’t atte after Kim Tae Hoon
The two of the formulated any plans
The first to greet the Hyun Wook
“Hyungnim!”
His entire body was exuding appreciation towards Ki Hyun Wook then noticed Kim Yuri and Kim Joohyuk behind Kim Tae Hoon
“Huh? Who are these two guests?”
Ki people with hi Hyun Wook the saiven him when they had first met
“They’re observers”
Kiave a simple description
“What?”
“If they start acting out of line, kill them”
“Yes?”
Bang Hyun Wook had a confused expression on his face
The same was true for Kim Joohyuk and Kiroundless command, Kim Yuri and Kim Joohyuk were not sure if they should retort or just keep their mouths closed
The two of the had broken down
Meanwhile, another person made their appearance
As soon as she appeared, Junior Lieutenant Kim Soo Ji saluted Kim Tae Hoon
“You’ve arrived, Major Kim Tae Hoon?”
She immediately turned to look at the two behind Kim Tae Hoon
‘Are they soldiers from the special forces’
She had grown up in a soldier’s household A mere moment was all she required to see what kind of people they were
‘A soldier？’
‘Is the Mek Guild a force built upon soldiers?’
It was the same for both Kim Yuri and Kim Joohyuk
Both their gazes changed as soon as they laid eyes on Junior Lieutenant Kim Soo Ji
“Sergeant First Class Kim Yuri and Kim Joohyuk Monitor these two so that they don’t leave the city hall”
“Yes sir”
“What about Chang Sung Hoon?”
“He’s on his way sir”
“Boss!”
Speaking of the devil, as soon as he asked, Chang Sung Hoon arrived TheHoon looked at the two soldiers behind Kim Tae Hoon and spoke
“T faces I see I’ from you two…… A couple? Lovers? Husband and wife?”
Tuk, as soon as Chang Sung Hoon’s words landed on their ears, both Kim Yuri and Kim Joohyuk shook their heads with embarrassed expressions
“Th, that’s wrong”
“It’s not that kind of relationshi+p”
“But it looks like theand the woman looks like she’s determined……”
At the end of Chang Sung Hoon’s little blurb, Kim Yuri and Kim Joohyuk turned their heads towards each other Kiot colder
Chang Sung Hoon exchanged a glance with Kim Tae Hoon Kim Tae Hoon rolled his eyes upwards
It was a sign to talk in the mayor’s office
In other words, they needed to separate themselves from Kim Yuri and Kim Joohyuk for a little while
”Well, welcouests, please accept our hospitality Hyun Wook, escort our guests to the waiting room by the mayor’s office Junior Lieutenant Kim Soo Jim why don’t you accompany him?”
Chang Sung Hoon was naturally prepared for this situation
