61 Episode 61 - Incheon Landing Operation, Part II (2/2)
”It's a gunshot!” ”There! Over there!”
The plunderers began to gather like fire moths toward the gunshots.
Kim Tae-hoon waited for them. The moment they appeared, he shot them with a gun in turn. Tutu! Tutu! Tutu!
It was not a hard job, but an easy task. It was a much more familiar task for him to fire and kill them as they gathered after hearing the gunfire than to handle an arrow or a sword with his Telekinesis and shoot them out with his power.
”Keuk!” The short final sound of those who were shot was also familiar to him. And what was bitter in his mouth was also familiar. He frowned around a bitter taste worse than the most bitter coffee.
'It's the worst.'
He has never been pleasant since the monsters appeared, but he had also never felt more uncomfortable since the monsters appeared. It was… because of the children, of course.
He was not going to be a hero. He was not going to deny that he was a murderer.
He was not the only one, but all of them living lives similar to him were killers. But they also had their own lines: the line that should not be crossed.
The children were one of those lines. He did not want to be a monster pointing a muzzle at children, even if it was a terrible battlefield.
Kwarrng!
Of course, he did not intend to give the tank that was shooting at this moment even a handful of mercy.
Tsreung! He pulled a Sword from his back.

In turn, the tanks that spewed four artillery shells began to pause.
”Aaaaaaargh!” Screaming took over the space where the fire had died down.
The drivers pushing their upper bodies out of the hatch of the tank, looked in the direction of the sound, between the buildings, frowning at the scream.
”What the hell is going on?”
After hearing the gunshots after the gunfire, their companions rushed to the place, where screams came out.
”Hey! Hey! What's going on?”
It was crazy for the tank drivers. They wanted to close the hatch after they put themselves in the tank. But it was not allowed, because someone had to look around.
'It's crazy.' At this moment, the tanks, which were more reliable than anything else, felt like prisons around them. Therefore, the tank drivers' minds were filled with fear.
Something fell into the mess. Thump!
Something fell from the rearmost tank with a rough sound. Thump!
With that, the elongated barrel of the tank fell to the ground with it cut off.
'Hmm?'
'Huh?'
The faces of those who frowned at this ridiculous sight changed to blankness. As they all looked dazed, the man who had cut the barrel off with a single sword jumped up like a spring as soon as he landed on the ground and climbed on top of the tank whose barrel he had cut off.
Two men were sticking out of the top of the tank, and he landed among them and painted a semicircle with the Sword in his hand. Shh!
The two heads within the trajectory of the semicircle fell to the ground, cut off. The man pulled out one body of the two who leaned over the entrance of the tank.
”What is it?” The question came from a man who did know what was happening in the tank.
The answer to the question was given by Kim, exhaling loudly. Fuhoohoo! He breathed out a huge flame into the tank.
”Aaaaaargh!” A terrible scream came from the flames filling the tank.
”Back! Back!”
At the scream, the tank in front slowly turned its turret around.
”Turn the gun barrel around!” The long barrel aimed back.
However, there was no Kim Tae-hoon there when the gun barrel finally pointed at the tank behind it.
Thump! Like crossed over the stepping stones, he landed on the top of the tank that had turned its turret in one leap.
Shh! Again, as before, he cut apart the two men who were leaning out of the hatch to see what was happening. Then he waited near the entrance of the tank with his Sword in the air with his Telekinesis.
”What's going on-” A man appeared like a mole, and Kim grabbed the man's neck and pulled out his body. In the process, the man's pelvis and legs hit the entrance, so fast that he was bruised.
”Aaaaaargh!” Of course, the man screamed. However, the screaming faded as soon as Kim's right hand mercilessly crushed his ribs. ”Aaarh…”
There was no such thing as screaming in a situation where he could not even breathe. Kim threw the man out of the tank. The man began to wriggle on the ground like a worm.
After that, Kim said to the last remaining person, the tank's pilot. ”Come out.”

The cannon fired four times. There were only those four shots.
However, the gunfire did not achieve a single thing it wanted. All the shells aimed at the overpass crossed over it, and they broke down only the buildings.
However, the four artillery shells were enough to turn Ganseok Ogeori into hell.
”Save me-” ”There's a man buried!” ”Baw, mommy…!” ”Cough, cough!”
Those who had been buried in the wreckage of the buildings called for help, the children who had been frightened by the gunfire and pissed their pants burst into tears, and there were some people coughing in the dust that was rising.
It was Kim Yu-ri who moved rationally in the mess. She took the children she had saved and moved to a safe place, and immediately began to help those who had survived.
”Hands up!” It was those who ran out of the station armed for the battle that stopped her. She responded to their demands. She raised her hands high and bit her lips slightly.
'What a fool...'
If she hadn't taken care of the children, she could have avoided them. But she didn't. She was in a crisis. It was a stupid thing to do. But she wasn't heavy-hearted or complicated.
”Father! Father!” The man who pointed the gun at her began to look for a priest in a loud voice. Then a young man in a black priest-uniform appeared. The young man looked at her.
”What are you?”
”Answer straight!”
At the following warning, she told her name and rank. ”My name is Kim Yu-ri, a member of the 35th Commandos of the Capital Defense Command, and my rank is Sergeant.”
Everyone looked surprised at the confession.
On the other hand, the young priest did not look surprised and asked, ”Are you here to save the companions of the 35th Commandos…?”
This time, she looked surprised. 'The companions…'
But their conversation did not proceed further.
”Fa, Father, there's a man in the sky!”a man rushed out in haste and shouted in a trembling voice to the priest.
”What? A man is coming here, stepping on the air!”
”What the hell is that—”
”There, there!”
”Huh, a human?”
Kim Tae-hoon showed up in the sky. Everyone looked blank when they saw him.
'Ah.' Kim Yu-ri could feel the meaning of the answer that he had given Sergeant Yu-ri. 'This really works.'
Kim Tae-hoon looked like a real savior now.
