Chapter 23 – Napoleon’s Golden Goblet (1)

 

1.

 

They were survivors.

 

“I’ve come from Guro district.”

 

“We are from Yangcheon District······.”

 

Survivors from Seoul.

 

Of course, Guro District and Yangcheon District were located far from the center of Seoul, but regardless, those areas were much closer to the heart of the Republic of Korea than Kim Tae Hoon and his party.

 

Their circ.u.mstances became clearer.

 

“Seoul is h.e.l.l now. Gigantic monsters run amok······.”

 

“A huge dragon with huge wings, it’s hard to believe, but the dragon breathed fire and destroyed buildings and lit all the trees around on fire······ euuuh······.”

 

“It’s just something we heard, but fighter jets destroyed the Mapo and Yanghwa bridges with missiles.”

 

The capital of the Republic of Korea, Seoul, was no longer the most populated city in all of South Korea, but, it had also become one of the most devastated area with the most casualties.

 

Those who heard the story had become white like plaster.

 

Kim Tae Hoon’s expression also stiffened.

 

‘The fact that there were fighter jets in the air means that one or more air bases did not fall······ if you look at the situation and the location, they must have flew from Sungnam Air Force Base. But to destroy the bridges······ was it to prevent them from spilling over into Gyeonggi Province? Or was it to prevent any more monsters from entering Seoul?’

 

Building hundreds of new hypotheses utilizing the new information that he had received, there was no room to consider anything else.

 

Kim Su Ji approached Kim Tae Hoon and said.

 

“Major, what will you do now sir?”

 

She asked, thinking that it would be awhile before Kim Tae Hoon would answer.

 

She also expected a sensible answer.

 

However, he easily responded.

 

“We’ll spend the rest of the day here, and then move on to the next destination after a briefing.”

 

“Then the survivors······.”

 

“I have no plans to accommodate the survivors.”

 

Kim Tae Hoon’s answer was completely unexpected and outside the bounds of what Kim Su Ji thought was rational.

 

“Kim Tae Hoon Major-nim?”

 

“I’ll say it again. We will not move with the survivors.”

 

“Your plan is to toss them aside and move on without them ?”

 

“I never accepted them, but I guess you can say we’re tossing them aside.”

 

“Major-nim!”

 

Survivors.

 

“They are civilian survivors!”

 

Not just survivors, but civilian survivors.

 

As a soldier, if you had any compa.s.sion, you would help the survivors.

 

Who in their right mind would consider such an idea to be reasonable?

 

Kim Tae Hoon didn’t explain any further in response to Kim Su Ji’s disgust.
