If there is a problem, identify it.
After that, solve it.
It’s simple. If only the problem was correct, it could not be more ‘simple’.
Simple is best.
All I did was face the problem and approach it simply.
And the results were right before our eyes.
Lee Ji-hye, PWAT team leader, National Police Agency.
Lee Ji-hye stared blankly at her business card.
Moonlight streamed in through the window, illuminating her face.
‘It seems like he contacts me when he secretly needs to.’
This is a call from the hottest man in the world right now.
‘I think I could ask my secretary to do it.’
Always contact them directly. Is this interest?
In the meantime, I’ve met pretty guys, handsome guys, rich guys, poor guys, fit guys, dull guys, and sensitive guys.
And she was suspicious because this was the first time in all their encounters.
‘Is this fishery management?’
Even though the calls came only when there was something to do, Lee Ji-hye thought this was a fishing ground.
Anyway, the contact was a request for information about Lost North.
The military has the most information on the Lost North, but the police department also has quite a bit.
It was a research paper that poured blind money into creating a code of conduct when entering the Lost North.
Confidential? No. It’s not even classified. It’s something that anyone with a high level of security clearance can take out.
So there was no need to ask for the president’s permission.
Lee Ji-hye decided to grant the fishery manager’s request.
“I owe you money.”
“I’ll buy you food.”
“Other than rice.”
“I’ll buy you a drink. Something strong.”
She’s quick-witted. Lee Ji-hye nodded to the person on the other end of the phone.
Gwangik, realized as a hologram, smiled brightly.
Although he looks plain, he has a handsome face with good symmetry.
I thought it would be nice if we could just spend a month together, no more, no less.
Of course I just thought about it.
The man had now gone so high that he could no longer look up at himself.
The head of a company, the most special, and named slayer.
The footnote attached to the name is long. It became long.
Lee Ji-hye has recently developed a habit of comparing Gwang-ik to the men around her.
So how could there be anyone who catches your eye?
‘I should have knocked you down when we first met.’
Lee Ji-hye gave up on the thought.
The world of fish trapped in a fishing ground is small.
The sole commander threw the information request on the desk and leaned back.
The back of the chair gently reclined.
The captain opened his mouth while half-lying down.
“Is this a request form?”
“you’re right.”
The staff answered.
“There is no formality.”
There was no formality. It didn’t come through an official route either. It was just an email.
The person who pulled it out and brought it was the staff.
“I guess there’s no need for that. It’s not really confidential information.”
“So should I listen to this?”
“You have to listen.”
The staff is smart. It must have been a conclusion reached after considering many factors.
Even if it wasn’t the staff’s advice, the unit commander knows it too. It’s impossible to ignore it. There’s no reason not to listen to it.
NS’s Yoo Kwang-ik.
If he wants to do it himself, there’s no reason to refuse.
“Listen.”
The request is about Lost North.
The military unit sent everything except confidential information.
What is the purpose of requesting this?
The staff and the deputy commander thought the same thing.
Actually, it wasn’t something to think about or worry about that deeply.
The goal was so clear.
‘Rediscovering the Lost North?’
It is inefficient.
It has to be that way. The cost of clearing out and cleaning up the North is astronomical, but there is so little to be gained from it.
So, it is likely to be inefficient and useless.

But if he wants to do it, what can I do? I should just let him do it.
It was none of his business.
No. Rather, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to take a step forward and make them more indebted to you.
“While we’re at it, I’ll give you a team with experience in conducting operations in the North.”
And this kindness was rejected.
The word came back that there was enough manpower.
‘It won’t be that easy.’
It’s a place where even special forces would have a hard time getting in.
The confidence that comes from the words, “We have enough manpower.”
What lies behind that confidence?
This also doesn’t require deep thought.
I heard that they set excessive conditions for regular employment. I also heard rumors that they train them like a military unit.
‘Still, it’s difficult for ordinary people.’
He also tried to break through by deploying special forces, but gave up midway because the cost was too high.
In today’s terms, the cost-effectiveness was terrible.
Breaking through that into the civilian unit?
If it could be resolved with a civilian unit rather than a special force, it might be a profitable business.
Honestly, who knows?
Could it be that the ‘lost’ treasure is sleeping in that lost north?
It’s been years since I gave up on this land, so I wonder what it might hold.
Of course, it was a story with as little probability as hoping to win the lottery.
“Then leave it alone.”
The sole commander in charge of the border let go.
The blink hole phenomenon in Lost North is not solved.
Thanks to this, the land became a place where invaders never stopped coming.
Besides that, there are mountains of piling problems.
Some people even said:
It is said that a named monster is hiding inside the Lost North.
The land in the north, which had been stagnant and stagnant, has now become an untouchable space.
“Do I really have to do this a lot? Really? Seriously?”
“Just because there’s a White Hole doesn’t mean there’s money in it, right?”
“You know it too. This is gambling. Do you like gambling? You’d rather go somewhere and play cards. You won’t lose your company playing cards.”
At the beginning of the cleaning project, the older brother spoke with tears in his eyes.
In fact, he spoke while rubbing his eyes, which were bloodshot and stiff, so much so that they looked like real tears of blood.
I patted the shoulder of that second-hand guy.
“It’s okay, my second-hand brother. Everything will be okay. Don’t worry too much.”
“… … No, f*ck! Let’s not do that.”
“I can’t hear you. It’s already over.”
Miho supports him from the side.
“You know now. Your eyes rolled back. Then you covered your ears.”
Next to me, Hyung Jungbong added a word while sipping his mixed coffee.
“Gwangik’s eyes have rolled back.”
The three of them made eye contact, then Miho smiled for once, and Jungbong chuckled at what I said.
“Is it time to move on from the joke?”
My older brother really cried.
He didn’t cry out loud, but I saw him shed a few tears.
“I thought things were going back to normal now.”
In the small conference room, I silently comforted my older brother.
The panda and the middle pick giggled.
Miho silently talked about the next step.
It was the stage of information gathering.
It was the time when regular recruitment had just finished and we were starting training.
On the hologram TV, news and documentaries about the changes in black holes were being broadcast.
Following the double-door phenomenon, another catastrophe occurred.
The upheaval was a upheaval.
Officially, the hall was divided into two forms.
One is standard.
It’s the same as the previous hole. The double door phenomenon was called a dual hole, and the previous version was called a single hole, but a hole is a hole anyway.
And a new version came out.
Now that I say it, it seems like someone will update it when the time comes.
This time, the Plant Hall has come out.
Outside the hall, a bizarrely shaped mass of entrails pours out invaders.
It’s similar to the strange phenomenon I’ve encountered before.
If you leave the invaders alone, there will be a hole that will expand. When the expansion is finished, it will take the form of a plant, so it wasn’t an unfamiliar concept.
However, the one that came out this time is different in that it comes in the form of a plant or factory.
So, if you ask me, is humanity facing another crisis?
That’s not it.
The power of humanity already has the power to solve most problems.
The named pops out, but I can catch the named even without me. This is what I felt after playing around with the terrorists the other day.
There are quite a few hidden strong people in the world.
Anyway, the cleaning operation is half a gamble, as the old saying goes.
If the other world beyond the White Hole is a sea of lava, then it’s a disaster.
And if this goes awry, there’s a hit. The company could run into financial difficulties.
But what can I do?
I hate seeing invaders run wild and run wild.
And even if Whitehall fails, there are alternatives.
Because there is always a way.
“If you succeed, it’ll be a huge hit. Move on.”
When Miho tried to calm her older brother down, only then did he catch his breath.
“I want to quit my job. I feel like my name is being reduced.”
“Do you also carry your resignation letter close to your heart? Please give it to me. I will accept it.”
I said it half-jokingly, but my older brother glared at me as if he was going to kill me.
Well, it was a small thing.
As the training continued, I requested information from the police, the Ministry of Public Administration and Security, the military, and Dangun.
Everyone gave it to me easily.
Some people wanted to get drinks, some wanted to get promises, but it all just went away.
Yeah, you’re making a fuss by giving out useless information.
What’s more, you’re leaving out all the important things.
If I wanted, I could use the brain princess to strip her of everything, but would it be okay to waste that brat’s life on something like this?
In fact, this information that they felt was unnecessary was more important to me.
“Blink holes, floods of invaders, full of unresolved elements.”
Draw a line on the map.
The place that was used as a training ground became a forward base.
A line drawn based on that.
It’s a line that crosses the Lost North.
The destination was Whitehall, and our job was to open the way.
Because penetrating here with civilian units means risking one’s life.
I put my money on the line instead of my life. I poured it out. When problems arise, think about whether you have enough money.
If you have enough money, most problems can be solved.
So I was wearing the right gear from head to toe.
It’s not an optical weapon. The disadvantages of laser blades are too obvious compared to laser rifles.
Aside from the cost, the device deteriorated significantly and its lifespan was a mess.
And the weapons being developed now cost more than optical weapons.
This is the result.
The unit members, organized into 10 groups, aim in all directions, front, back, left, and right, and pull the triggers of their rifles.
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo!
A dull, cracking sound poured out as if it was exploding from the barrel of a gun.
And all that noise reached my ears a little too late.
It’s a bullet that travels at a dizzying speed exceeding the speed of sound.
A hole was ripped through the head of the approaching invader, and a hole was ripped through its torso.
There were even some guys whose heads just exploded.
This is one of the basic weapons of the current NS combat unit.
It’s a railgun rifle.
The name railgun comes from the way the bullets fly, which uses the power of electricity to fire bullets, similar to the way a train accelerates.
You could call it an electromagnetic rifle or something.
Anyway, it was a dangerous weapon because a strong magnetic field was generated during the firing process, so the barrel had to be replaced frequently, or if it was damaged, the heated barrel would explode. It was a weapon.
Not now.
Kang Purum solved the problem with adamantium alloy.
The barrel was made extremely tough, so it could withstand bullets flying at speeds faster than sound.
Instead, it is a bit heavy, but isn’t there a saying that the crown bears the weight of the one wearing it?
With the invaders now at a massacre level, it would be fun to bear their weight.
There is also quite a bit of fun in watching.
“Third Sea, enter close combat.”
This is the voice of Ki-nam, who plays the role of a reconnaissance team and a radar.
The keen senses of the immortal sensed enemies approaching from all directions.
Group 3 responded immediately.
He pulls out the thick-bladed combat knife he has tucked into his waistband.
The blade is black. It is a black that reflects light.
I too am a magic created by science.
A rock giant rose from the ground.
How many times was that Invader?
Anyway, the two crew members who had avoided the giant’s fist swung their swords at the opponent’s legs.
A solid stone meets a thin blade.
The blade digs into the leg like slicing tofu.
Sugeok.
A small noise followed. Not even a spark flew.
A blade was visible, cutting through the leg.
It’s so thin, it’s a wonder the blade doesn’t wobble.
It’s so thin, yet it stands straight.
I’m also an adamantium alloy.
The face of the researcher who had initially been delighted with the development of the adamantium alloy came to mind.
I didn’t know why it was so exciting.
If I had known you could make something like this so easily, I would have been excited too.
It cost billions of dollars, but it served its purpose well.
That blade is the second basic weapon.
It was something called a single molecule cutter.
In reality, it cannot be a knife that cuts everything, but Kang Purum created a knife that is infinitely close to that.
Someone climbed up on top of the fallen rock giant and put a gun to its head.
All railgun rifles have their roots in my custom weapons.
There are two launch methods.
Just before it fired, I saw a light or something coming out of the end of the railgun’s muzzle.
And then the light burst.
Kwa-ang.
The noise followed.
Before the sound could reach the monster, its head was shattered.
The new NS employee who came down returns to his position.
There were many invaders.
There were a lot though.
Pubbubububu!
Everyone’s heads were about to explode.
All of the agents knew in advance that the invaders were coming, thanks to the wide-area readers built into their helmets.
They shot and cut them with rifles and knives.
It was perfect.
The road ahead of me is clear.
It was a path cut through the Lost North overrun by invaders.
