The door of the wrecked vehicle opened and a bloody man fell out.
dump.
He was Cheon Il-nam, the leader of the medical support team of Team 7. A man came running and supported him.
“Sunshine. Are you okay?”
Cheon Il-nam, who got up with the help of the elder, let out a sigh of relief and said.
“···It’s okay. I administered first aid with a potion.”
Although he said that he was fine, Cheon Il-nam’s face was extremely pale.
Lee Cheol-jun, who had searched thoroughly inside the cave, asked Cheon Il-nam.
“What is going on? Where have all our comrades gone?!”
For a moment, Cheon Il-nam’s expression darkened. He let out a heavy sigh and said.
“The people who were here···.”
*
Just a few hours ago, Cheon Il-nam was caring for patients as usual.
All the critically ill patients recovered, while the rest suffered from malnutrition and frostbite. Most of them improved when they were fed well and given proper treatment.
“Thank you! Thank you!”
Every time North Korean residents shook his thin hands and expressed their gratitude, Cheon Il-nam felt a great sense of pride as a medical professional.
In fact, it was a feeling that was hard to feel when I was in Team 7.
‘The superhumans on our team don’t even catch colds, let alone get hurt…’
Yet the team leader had the medical team’s vehicle filled with top-of-the-line potions, cutting-edge medical equipment, and expensive medicine.
It may have been in preparation for such a time as this.
Cheon Il-nam said to the North Korean people half-jokingly.
“Please say thank you when our team leader comes. It is because he didn’t cut the temple that you are receiving treatment.”
Besides, I knew that no matter how much expensive medicine I gave to the North Korean people, the team leader wouldn’t say anything.
‘It’s not like it’s my money anyway, so I guess they’ll tell me to spend it like crazy.’
This was when Cheon Il-nam was administering expensive nutritional injections to North Korean citizens.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
The moment he saw the flames rising from afar, Cheon Il Nam thought that Lily had returned.
But after a while, what appeared before them were monsters they had never seen before.
“Gyarrrrr···.”
They were walking with a thumping sound, wearing human clothes and having a human-like appearance.
But it wasn’t human.
If you are a human, your eyes will burn,
If your hair is like ice,
Because it doesn’t emit electricity from its mouth.
There were dozens of such monsters.
The first ones to respond to the situation at that moment were, of course, the superhumans.
“Support team! Get the North Koreans into the caves!”
Sirutteok grabbed an axe and shouted. At the same time, Wang Guho stepped forward.
Dduk dduk!
Wang Guho, who had instantly transformed into a golden giant, confronted the monsters.
Meanwhile, Cheon Il-nam and his younger siblings sent North Korean residents into the cave.
“Come in quickly!”
The evacuation was swift. After all the dozens of North Koreans had been evacuated to the caves, Wangguho stood in front of them like an iron wall.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Wang Guho was strong. He swung his fists without taking a single step back against dozens of humanoid monsters rushing toward him.
Sirutteok also fought hard beside him. With each swing of his axe, the flames spewed by his enemies split and the ice split.
Here, the support team members also participated in the battle. They were all trained in firearms so that they could fight in an emergency.
Tutatatatatata!
Even without Daein and Lily, Team 7 was strong.
Leaving the cave entrance behind, they formed a barricade with their vehicles and fought.
Cheon Seol-ah shouted as she excitedly fired the machine gun on top of the equipment support team vehicle.
“I radioed the team leader, but I can’t get a signal! I think he’s in a cave or something.”
Although I couldn’t contact the person, no one seemed too worried.
“I think we can solve this among ourselves.”
It was exactly as he said. The monsters that had been attacking with great momentum had stopped, and the barricade blocking the entrance to the cave was solid.
Until a scream was heard from inside the cave.
“Gyaaaah!”
A scream was heard from inside the cave, and a moment later, monsters that looked like a mix of human and mole walked out of it.
They were holding the neck of a North Korean citizen in each hand.
[If you don’t surrender, I will kill all the humans inside.]
*
“Come on!”
Lee Cheol-jun grabbed Cheon Il-nam by the collar. Cheon Il-nam let out a deep sigh and said.
“At the same time that they took the hostage, the attacks that had been halting intensified. The number of people also increased. As time went on, it seemed that there would eventually be deaths. So···”
The man cut him off mid-sentence.
“Since we surrendered, there must be no one left. After that, they were all taken away by those guys.”

“···sorry.”
Cheon Il-nam lowered his head. But the master did not blame him.
In the first place, this wasn’t a problem to be blamed on anyone. The man asked.
“Why didn’t you just drag me along?”
“Siroo, no, Minjae told me to pretend to be a corpse. He needs someone to explain the situation when the team leader comes. I happened to be injured at that time… I collapsed and pretended to be dead, and after the guys left, I went into the car and treated my wounds.”
To put it simply, Cheon Il-nam had to endure tremendous pain as he had to pretend to be dead without treating his wounds until the enemies left.
The children screamed in excitement.
“Sir! Let’s chase after him quickly!”
“Just touch one finger of our comrades! I’ll kill them all!”
Meanwhile, the adults remained silent, lost in thought.
Breaking the silence, Lee Cheol-jun spoke with a stern expression.
“They are two hundred million.”
Lee Cheol-jun’s gaze turned to one direction. Everyone’s gaze followed him.
“The two-legged ones capture living people and turn them into two-legged ones just like them.”
Woof woof woof!
A colorful magic barrier. Inside it, Pyongyang was seen, completely isolated from the outside world.
Looking at Pyongyang with a complicated expression, Ri Cheol-jun continued speaking in a lowered voice.
“If I get dragged there… I’ll never be able to come back. I didn’t know you’d come out hunting so far….”
“······.”
The man knew it too.
No, he knew much more than Lee Cheol-jun.
He also knew that the monsters he called ‘Du-eok-sin-i’ were officially called spirit zombies, and he also knew how they were created.
Originally, spirits could only be summoned to other worlds through contracts.
But in cases like Pyongyang, where part of the spirit world encroached upon the Earth, the situation was different.
The current Pyongyang is an ambiguous space that cannot be called Earth or the spirit world.
The spirits were unable to return to their original world and were bound, and as time passed, they could only grow weaker and lose strength.
The only way to maintain power is to replenish magical power through contractors.
But the spirits that had been polluted by crossing dimensions chose an easier way.
It uses a human body as its host, extracts magical power from that body, and once it has absorbed all of it, discards it and transfers it to a new body.
The monster that was born that way was the spirit zombie.
‘I think they said that if you get caught, it takes about 72 hours to turn you into a zombie.’
“Director Sun. How many hours has it been since the people were taken away?”
“About 4 hours···.”
In 4 hours, it would have already entered the magic barrier. Even if we chase after it now, we would be blocked in front of the magic barrier.
“mister.”
Lily asked with an anxious face, holding onto the man’s sleeve.
“Aren’t you going to go find Hogu and Sirutteok?”
“I’m going to go look for it. I’ll think about it before I do.”
At times like these, we must not rush. There have been no deaths yet.
‘Can I break through the barrier with my own strength? Even if I do, they’ll notice right away. An all-out war is impossible. There are thousands of low-level spirit zombies, hundreds of mid-level ones, and even high-level ones…’
The punitive force selected to recapture Pyongyang in the past was a multinational coalition of 120 superhumans, including North Korea, South Korea, and China.
Of those, only 50 superhumans returned alive.
It was such a big incident that I only read about it in articles, but at the time, the person in question was not included in the punitive force.
“Hmm···.”
It was when the Great Man frowned while looking at the magic barrier.
“What is all this about?”
It was Abraxas who emerged from the bushes.
She returned three days after leaving to see the magic barrier, and looked around with her eyes wide open.
“Did there get into a fight? Where did everyone go?”
“Ah!”
Lily ran to Abraxas and told him everything that had happened.
After a while, Abraxas’ expression also changed to a serious one.
“That’s a big deal. It means we’ll have to walk back.”
Although the pints that were worried were very off, the great man decided to pin his hopes on her after she came back from observing the magic barrier for three days.
“Didn’t you see people being dragged away on your way here?”
Abraxas shook his head.
“Not at all. I think we crossed paths.”
I had hoped for it, but it was as expected. The man sighed and said.
“If I can just break through that magic barrier and infiltrate, I think I can handle the rest somehow···.”
Abraxas nodded in agreement, muttering something close to a soliloquy.
“It certainly wasn’t easy. It took me two days to get in.”
“······.”
For a moment, the man thought he had misheard. He asked back with a look of disbelief.
“You went in? In there? Secretly?”
At that moment, Abraxas snickered and said,
“Then you thought I was just looking around for three days? I couldn’t go too deep because there were some pretty strong guys inside, so I was afraid I’d get caught, but I did take a look around the outskirts.”
“then···.”
Abraxas said with confidence.
“If that barrier is the problem, leave it to me. I’ll open the door for you.”
It was the moment when the biggest problem was solved with an absurdly simple solution.
If you can sneak through the magic barrier, rescuing your dragged teammates becomes much easier.
‘No, you can do more than that.’
Suddenly, a thought occurred to him and he looked back at Lee Cheol-jun. As expected, he had a shocked expression on his face.
“Is that true?”
Lee Cheol-jun, who had been listening quietly, asked in an excited voice. His pupils were shaking greatly.
The reason why Lee Cheol-jun couldn’t go far from Pyongyang even though he knew it was dangerous.
The man knew that it was to save the ‘Great Leader’ who might be alive in Pyongyang.
‘Everyone inside there is already dead or has turned into a spirit zombie.’
The man had no intention of shattering that hope. He would find out on his own anyway.
Instead, while Lee Cheol-jun had that hope, he intended to make the most of it.
The man said.
“Lee Cheol-jun. Are you able to contact the other special forces agents?”
“Wh, what···.”
Lee Cheol-jun had a confused expression. Dae-in pushed hard.
“Don’t be so stubborn. There’s no way you’re the only special forces agent left alive in North Korea.”
I said it as if I had guessed, but it was something I already knew and asked.
Among the 120-man multinational punitive force, there were several names of North Korean superhumans, including Ri Cheol-jun.
“Gigeon···.”
“Call everyone and gather them together.”
Pyongyang was a place that was left alone because the pie was too big to eat alone.
I was afraid that I would end up indigesting it if I tried to eat it.
But if the pie was already cut to some extent and there was a digestive nearby, there was no reason to hesitate.
Rescuing the team members who were taken away, and doing other things too…
“I rescue my team, and you retake Pyongyang. How about that? Isn’t that a good deal?”
“······.”
Lee Cheol-jun’s answer was almost like it was already decided.
A few hours later, the man walked toward a table full of food.
