45 Dimensional Crack 2 (2/2)

Huuuuuu!

Violent winds shook the inside of the plane. A smoky fog enwrapped the area.

”Descend.”

The drill instructor pushed the squad members one by one. He had no time to coach each individual. It was unknown whether the plane would explode in the next second by another attack. The squad members jumped and pulled out their parachutes one by one.

”Han, if you're unable to find a drill instructor, you're in charge. Endure until rescue arrives.”

”Understood.”

Han shortly saluted and jumped out. The wind howled in his ears. The airplane flew further and further from him. The drill instructor also got ready to jump out. The moment the drill instructor jumped out, the plane was hit by another stream of light and exploded. He couldn't escape the explosion and his body flew out like a doll.

'Is he dead?'

Han bit his lower lip. There seemed to be no response from the drill instructor. When he neared the ground, he firmly grasped onto the parachute line. A number of thoughts passed his mind.

'I just barely got a hold of my senses. The other members are probably not capable of maintaining a normal state of mind at the moment. I must gather everyone as soon as I can. A dense forest had formed in this place because it has been out of the reach of humans for a long time. Nothing is favourable for us. If we were in an open area, we would find each other immediately… but it's difficult to find others in a wild forest.'

Han looked at his data bracelet. The screen shook with noise and wouldn't properly function. Everyone else would probably be in the same situation.

'We have been training for this situation all this time. There's no reason we can't survive.'

Han got caught by a tree branch while dropping down. He took out his knife and cut the string. He dropped from ten meters in the air and rolled. He softened the fall by spreading the impact with the roll, and then looked up.

”I only have one knife.”

Nobody predicted this situation. Han tried to recall from the various situations he trained for, but he couldn't seem to remember any at all. It didn't matter if his analysis skills were strong, because he didn't have any pieces of the puzzle to work out the core problem at the moment.

Before Han had landed, he memorized the general landscape terrain. He roughly drew a map from his memory on the ground.

”More people would have had dropped into this direction.”

Han didn't hesitate and moved out.

'Rather than waiting for other squads to come find me, I have a better chance finding them. There should be many students who can't move due to their state of panic or possible injury.

Han moved through the forest of overgrown weeds. People have not traversed through this place at all, and just walking forward was straining.

Sa sa sak.

There was movement from the forest. Han turned his head toward the sound. Somebody popped out from the opposite side of the forest.

”Han?”

Kijo popped out.

”How about the other squad members?”

”I didn't see them yet. I saw you in this direction before I landed, and decided to walk into this direction. I thought it would be best to join up with the squad leader.”

Han was a bit surprised. Kijo had kept his eyes on Han until the last moment. Amongst the chaos, he was able to make such a decision, that was quite amazing.

'He is surprisingly smart. His logic is careful and meticulous. I guess he has a good sense. Or rather, he has great mental strength, to retain his composure. He's the longest veteran amongst all squad members for a reason.'

Han re-evaluated Kijo.

'I wasn't able to objectively judge his skills due to his arrogant personality. In secret, I undervalued Kijo's skills and neglected him quite a bit. Although a person's skill and character are two different things. Reflecting back, Kijo never lagged behind, and his ability to carry out the battle tactics were good. His character is his main hindrance.'

”What are you thinking about?”

Kijo said. Han snapped away from his thoughts and looked up.

”No, nothing. Let's first think of a way to join up with the rest of the squad.”

Han and Kijo travelled up to higher grounds. Han climbed a tall tree and looked across the area. There was smoke in the far distance. The closest was the second military plane.
