Etranger: Chapter 31
31 – The Derailment (3)
I’ve decided to split up chapters so that each release will contain anywhere between 1000 – 1700~ words, otherwise my speed would slon drastically
“You… can’t you try and fuss a bit quietly? It see to have to spend a bit of time to search around”
San plodded towards the soldier’s equip to wear a field cap instead He pulled out the pistol on his person and shoved athe safety off San tucked the gun into his waist strap, after which he equipped a K1 Rifle with a bayonet, then stood up He grabbed a co the ins and outs of the operation, including the escape path and drop zone, storing the map in a plastic sleeve
“Hmm The panel coordinates are over here If you look in its direction, it should be in that general area… what about the ridge of that hill that’s about 300 meters away… “
San quietly turned towards Biyeon
“Lieutenant! Stay here I’ht back Soe Was there ever a place like this in the Republic of Korea?”
“Yes sir!”
Biyeon curtly replied She also thinks it’s strange Because it’s so dim, San couldn’t confirm, but she looked surprised
“There isn’t any flora that I know here… Even the weeds… plus for these weeds to grow this tall and dense in a deciduous forest during March I wonder if there’s such a place in Gyeongsangbuk-do? Maybe this place is a large garden”
[TN: Gyeongsangbuk-do is the name of a province in Korea surrounded by mountains]
Biyeon shook her head What kind of botanical garden would have such raised inclining slopes, additionally, where could a place that could breed such large trees in such great abundance exist… especially with such wind blowing outside Wary, San discreetly advanced through the surrounding area Now, there were two things getting on his nerves: first, he absolutely could not see anything; second, he just could notwith an unfathoht would block the path
Densely grown grass so tall one couldn’t see its full length, tree bark hard like bah to be cliffs, and finally the unknown that lurked at the bottoh he had looked around very meticulously, within fifty meters there were no paths that he could follow in order to leave That meant that there was no physical way to leave the area Although it was only fifty meters, the path he took was littered with rocks, and the entirety of the ground was rugged
‘Well regardless, I probably won’t be able to do anything until the sky brightens up Anyways, considering how communication with the main force has been cut, if they consult an advisor, there’s a chance that we’ll be considered to be needless anxiety and left behind’
Meanwhile Biyeon atching San’s behavior froht was off, but she was not scared She could tell how close San was due to the light froht She tilted her bobbed head back and wiped the sweat off her forehead Truly what a memorable day
‘Seriously what kind of situation is this? Seriously, even my luck…’
Biyeon turned on her flashlight Seeing San’s figure returning after he had explored their surrounding area, she felt it iathered the dry leaves off the tree branch he had cut off earlier Next he set the bundle aflahter Because he used branches and leaves that had only recently died, a lot of smoke billowed up, but for the most part it was still a decent fire Now the two could clearly see each other Both their lines of sights becaled in each other
‘He’s not a young ure is thick and robust’
‘For a soldier she looks like she’s used to being told that she’s pretty’
