Day 4
'Saturday 3 October 2020'
4 Days after the statement, the city began evacuating into the bunkers that had been provided since Lee Hyun-woo arrived.
Slowly without a sound, the entire city became silent and the citizens just walked slowly into the bunker.
"Here, take this.. it will help you in the bunker, they will protect you if you show it."
"Thank you so much, and please be carefull."
I gave Siyeo-Ma a special access card for her to use with the other kids, an access card that is only given to those who are on duty risking their lives.
*And I am one of them, at least right now I can focus on my own things and end this..so that its not gonna need up like last time.*
I could only escort "Park Min-ji" and the others to the front of the bunker, because right now there is something more important to do.
On the other hand, the war has started to damage the city on a small scale, even though it has only been 4 days, it is already very tiring because we also need to evacuate almost everyone here while fighting on the other side too protect them.
The war has not yet begun but both sides are already preparing in their own way, where the agency has weapons to fight those who have power and on the other hand they have more power even though their numbers are small.
Some of them think we have already won just because of our numbers, but those of us who know can only remain silent and prepare to wait for that dark day.
Saying goodbye and going on duty, while those who are taking shelter can only see our fate through the cameras installed in the city and hope for our return.
It was very cold tonight, just like the night on that first day...the night when I was still in the orphanage, 15 unknown people entered because of the broken door and I killed them all, to protect the others.
It's been a long time since I committed murder, I've gotten used to it because I have to do it..but the first time children see it, it is definitely something they will never forget.
Even "Park Min-ji" just stood there silently from afar, watching me who could only stay silent, because if I moved even the slightest bit, they would only be more scared.
Luckily the escorts took care of them and told them to go back inside.
"Damn, why did they have to choose this place.. are they crazy?" I ended up sitting outside their room until morning to look after them.
Meanwhile, on the other side, in the busy city, people were running because they heard the sound of gunfire.
24 officers died trying to protect others, if that was just the first day how will the day come.
*Today, and in this city..the war will soon begin, it seems it will be earlier than announced.*
'The phone's ringtone rings.'
"Hmm?"
When I opened it, it turned out I got a message to immediately gather at the agency building field.
'Seo-woo: *IMPORTANT* Arrived at the agency building field right now.'
"I guess i was right."
09:16
'Agency field: gathering to prepare for war.'
Lee Hyun-woo arrived at the scene and saw a situation that didn't look favorable at all, 90% of them looked completely hopeless.
*If this situation continues, it will only make things worse later.*
Even the higher-ups nor the council did not want to give a speech, and only told someone else to deliver it.
While I was still looking around, I was also thinking whether I should speak until I saw Seo-woo who was standing in the corner looking at me.
Seeing his serious gaze made me sure.
*What I'm afraid of, right now I have to do what has to be done without involving my feelings.*
Every step I take, every event I go through. Every gaze and feeling that haunts me, I always survive and have gone this far... our spirit must not be extinguished and must burn to illuminate tomorrow.
Lee Hyun-woo continued walking towards the stage, and pass through the guards there because the guards dint dare to stop him.
All eyes were on him, some wondering who he is, and some wondering what he is really thinking.
Every wound I carry I embrace, every tired step I take, I move forward. Now is not the time for us to be silent, one of us must be a pillar.
"Attention everyone!" Everyone who heard it could only keep a resigned face.
"I know you're all nervous, but now is not the time for that." Some of them started to get interested, while other higher-ups were confused.
"There are challenges waiting ahead, challenges that will also obscure the bright skies of tomorrow." Some expert soldiers started to take interest to his speech.
"And today we will stand, we will fight, together we will win." The wind began to blow hard, when the dark sky was seen shining, turning the dark sky slowly gray.
"This is not the end for us, if this is the end... then it is better for us to die in battle than to see our world destroyed." All the soldiers could only remain silent with their eyes wide open hearing this.
"We will fight until the end of our blood, those who live will remember today, and those of us who fell will illuminate tomorrow." The Boss could only smile while the other higher-ups were confused.
"It's time for us to change the world one last time with our own actions, making this our last war and our final task for tomorrow!" The entire army shouted their encouragement as the sky slowly began to brighten, painting each of their faces with courage and hope.
Confidence was written on the faces of those who believed and had hope, while those who were experienced just kept quiet and prepared to leave the place to go to their respective posts.
*It seems like it's time..*
I should also get moving now, I also have to prepare in some things.
Lee Hyun-woo left the stage and walked in another direction with Seo-woo, they approached the experienced team under Seo-woo's command.
"How long has it been since the incident you helped us?"
"Since the bridge incident? Come on, it's nothing, we just owe a debt of gratitude and are repaying it."
"If this is your choice, I will not try to stop you and I am very grateful."
"Come on, what your sister did back then was more than this."
I can only smile and thank them for the help they gave me, and the memories that will not be forgotten even though decades have passed.
After they returned to their respective posts, i stayed since my posts is on the roof of the agency building with Seo-woo.
I saw Seo-woo who was holding his cellphone and looked serious, I saw a little and knew he was talking to Lee Ji-woo.
"You don't need to be afraid or nervous, we will succeed with me carrying the victory flag."
Seo-woo just laughed at my words, even though it only sounded like a joke, at least we don't need to hesitate anymore.
After all we've been through.. together trying to building a better world.
*....*
Lee Hyun-woo suddenly remembered the moments with Park Min-ji while sitting in the park, bright sunlight with cool air under fresh trees, the time after Park Ji-nam died.
"What would you do if you outlived me?"
"I don't want that to happen, because I just want to be with you now and forever."
"But, I will make sure that your place will always be in bloom."
"Hahaha, thank you."
10:45
'In the middle of the city, post agency area'
Everyone looked serious, preparing for what was to come. At the same time Lee Hyun-woo dropped a long box and opened it while on the roof.
Suddenly a loud sound was heard which made everyone tense, they looked up at the sky and saw 2 fighter jet from a distance coming towards them.
One of the two approaching fighter jets suddenly exploded after being hit by a missile, causing some of those watching to cheer.
"Focus all of you, there's one more coming!" Shouted the post leader there.
Meanwhile on the roof Lee Hyun-woo just dropped his bazooka and jumped off the roof leaving Seo-woo to observe the surroundings.
"Sorry for the glass." Lee Hyun-woo said as he fell from a height and bent his legs preparing to launch himself.
Lee Hyun-woo launched himself and sped through the air towards the fighter jet, he even used his hands to catch the fighter jet driver who instead killed him instantly because of his speed.
The fighter jet lost control and started to emit flames which eventually fell onto the street with Lee Hyun-woo landing on the roof of the building looking down at the troops below.
*Luckily I managed to reach the peak of my powers, otherwise I might not have been able to do it just now.*
Even though I managed to take down the threat now, but those below...the next wave is just about to begin.
It was seen that the enemy troops were starting to arrive towards the agency troops below.
"Don't be afraid, and shout out your fearful spirit!"
The agents shouted and started shooting, with the enemy side starting to retaliate and some of them even ran towards the agents with only their bare hands.
They ran quickly to avoid the bullets, and even took down 2 agents with just their bare hands.
The other agents and soldiers started to get shocked, but suddenly the enemy was hit by someone which made him fly away.
"You kids these days, can't you just be gentle and not cause trouble?" The sound of someone old, that hitting the enemy turned out not to be Lee Hyun-woo, but one of the experienced troops who had met Lee Hyun-woo and Seo-woo earlier.
"Really...you guys have no heart huh?" The old man started to get serious.
With the situation going according to plan, where the experience troops use a battle suit everything will be safe for now. Meanwhile, we will only be able to do what we can if the worst happens, but I don't need to be afraid because we all know that we have to carry out this final task with a definite goal.
The experienced soldiers or agents of Park Ji-nam's sister generation, they were divided into several groups to their respective posts.
"I wonder now which side will fall first."
Lee Hyun-woo stood on the roof looking up at the Kwon Min-jae tower visible in the distance.
