Auto Hunting

It's time for spring.

The day was still unfinished.

Early morning commute just outside of dawn.

Whoo-hoo!!

The alarm for the occurrence of cracks is always triggered.

Everyone who heard it either took out their cell phones or began to walk in the direction they were headed.

Prepare to evacuate.

“No, not again. ”

“It was open around here, wasn't it? ”

“I have to finish the job. What am I supposed to do..."

Prepare to evacuate without grumbling and confusion.

He's been used to it for 20 years.

Even if cracks appear in the midst of a bustling city, all the systems and systems of society are already prepared for them.

It is an age where there is no rift in everyday life at a young age.

But why?

“Fuck...”

“It's a crack that never tries. Really. ”

It seems that the same relaxation has disappeared from the faces of the citizens who are facing the alert.

The procedure was as swift as ever.

About five or six hours until the crack is created.

Finally, once evacuated, control centers take up one or two positions on the outskirts of the operation area, and vehicles carrying hunters begin to gather.

“Briefing?”

“It's not ready yet. ”

“Okay, then I'm going to close my eyes for a while. ”

“Sure. I'll be waiting...”

“What are you waiting for, man? You close your eyes, too. ”

“But...”

“But no one is blood-soaked and without a performance impediment. And if one of you goes down, teamwork goes down? You saw the last time you got beat up by the National Guard. ”

“....... ”

“Set the alarm, keep your eyes open. There's a lot of non-combatants out there anyway. It's not like it's time to wake up. He's not even his own man. ”

“I understand.”

Looking at the nodding team member,

The team leader of the bunkers looked around and instructed the other members.

“Everyone take a break! ”

Remove the sleeping bag from the luggage and close your eyes by pulling the liver table or chair installed within the control center.

It was absurd.

Even if you have a few hours left, the crack will open.

What do you mean, sleep on a board that doesn't have a briefing delivered if you unwind or check the equipment one more time?

It was a situation that everyone deserved to pay attention, leaving their minds.

However, there were many hunters on the ground, and no one disputed this behavior on their team.

It was not because Bunkers' position in the industry was high.

Although he was developing a reputation, he was a small and medium-scale organization with a large number of comrades in silver grade.

However,

“Oh, I forgot my earplugs. ”

“I'll lend you mine. ”

They weren't the only sleeping hunters.

Half of the huntsmen close to a hundred are pulling out their eye pads or earplugs as well as sleeping bags.

In the case of well-sized team members, get in the car and sit back and relax.

Even the sleepless hunters didn't show any particular "diligence."

Several teams were rushing to pick up the lunch boxes or battle rations they had delivered. Like a man who's been starving for days.

Five years old hunter Kim Ji-woo from Bunkers, the hunter you just spoke to, has taken off his shirt from behind the car.

“Ugh…”

I close my eyes and groan.

He had bandages wrapped around his side.

The blood that has just sprouted, not dried blood, is thrilling.

“Are you okay?"

“It's just a little added up. ”

With the help of my motive, I changed Kim Ji-woo's bandage to a new one.

I did not forget to disinfect and apply the therapeutic ampoule.

“Can you hold out? ”

“... until this operation, whatever it takes. ”

“But thank God. Luckily, the person who was using the cure last time was in the same area... Otherwise, he would have been on his way to the hospital. ”

“I see.”

Kim Ji-woo got in the car and rested in his seat.

Habits are scary.

Before he asked to sleep, he took out his cell phone.

After that, it was only four days after using the phone other than for telephone or briefing purposes.

Combined with this operation,

In a week, he participated in three operations.

The phone reminded me of a portal screen of the site he saw two days ago.

A large group rebels against Special Defense Agency mandatory operations… Reasonable protest or lack of mission?

“If you don't have a mission, go fuck yourself. ”

Heavy swearing reflexes.

I was not naturally the type to spit.

But what kind of hunters would curse at this moment?

Increased frequency of cracks, not just recently, according to the ‘statistical data' accumulated over five years.......

Problems and measures that have been raised for a long time have also been a topic that is constantly being sought out in the atmosphere of each country.

But before we have any answers,

It's just been accelerating explosively for the past few months.

The appearance of faster cracks worldwide.

To be precise, it was 1.52 times that compared to 6 months ago.

Suddenly it looks like nothing special.

Especially in the eyes of civilians. It's not doubling, it's not tripling, it's not actually touching the 1.52.

But the traps, six months before 1.52 times the frequency, were the highest ever.

And because of the professional nature of the hunters, continuous work is a different problem than just leaking overnight.

“Ugh...”

Kim Ji-woo wrapped his side.

Even after first aid, wounds that the average person should be admitted to right now.

Of course, Kim Ji-woo, the CE holder, would be better off with a good meal and a good night's sleep….

The first problem was that it wasn't like that in the first place, the second problem was stress and fatigue.

Hunting is a life-threatening act, even if it ends unharmed.

No matter how reckless you are, for once you are prepared to die and have the courage.

That's why hunters must rest.

The weakness of the mind is hesitation.

hesitation is the birth of blunt movement, accidents and death.

As a matter of fact, I did.

Last month's medium-death ‘3 digits’.

Finally burst ‘Manpower’...... Consider additional tests.

At first, it was just ‘wounded'.

Maybe this won't be a problem.

Even the industry people were relieved for a while.

However, the three gears: accumulated blood, increased injuries, and a shortage of people began to create a vicious cycle.

Right now,

There were only three cases where someone was a hunter with more than a brother-in-law and rested for more than a day.

Or dead.

Or you belong to an organization that has the power and the resources to dismantle the forgery.

Hunters who can't do that,

If his limbs were intact, he would have had to enter the operation.

And the standard for 'healthy’ was that the better the hunter was, the closer he was to the center and the more experienced hunters with body and mind fatigue, the more widely determined he was.

Kim Ji-woo, who was near the top of the silver and gold for the fifth year, was also called back before the wound healed.

“Whew…”

Kim Ji-woo closed his eyes with his cell phone.

But at least for a little while...

“Kim Ji-woo!”

“......! ”

I opened my eyes to the sound of the call.

Already all inside the vehicle are busy moving.

“Well, what is it? Did the crack open early? ”

“What...? No, man, look at the time. ”

Kim Ji-woo said he saw the watch.

And I was horrified.

I thought I closed my eyes for a moment and breathed, but I had already spent half the day.

“... Hey, I can't. ”

The team leader, who was looking at Kim Ji-woo for a moment, shakes his head.

“Ji-woo, you need to rest on this operation. ”

“Yes?! But I've already got a name on it...”

“That's what I'm going to do. Either you turn the line and call in a proxy, or the operation goes in, but you're the only one on the outskirts... and I was wrong about you. You just need to rest for a couple of days. ”

“No, I can go. ”

“Don't be stubborn. ”

Kim Ji-woo hurriedly stood up.

The team leader who was trying to stop him stopped looking at Kim Ji-woo.

“You can. Sir.”

“I told you. Other…”

“I know it's a safety hazard for your team. But I still need to keep my head straight. I don't want to pass my share on to anyone else. ”

“....... ”

The team leader, who was silent for a moment, nodded.

“Yes."

Although I was ashamed as group leader, I was actually better off without Kim Ji-woo.

The rest of the team wasn't in full condition.

“I'm sorry.”

“No, I'm not.”

In the meantime, the whole team was headed this way.

They were no different from the team leader as well.

Fatigue.

Forgiveness and gratitude for colleagues.

“Not just erase it, everyone! Come on, let's work hard! After this operation, I'll give you a week's rest at any cost! ”

“Yep!"

It was a short fight.

It awakens everyone in the bunkers who was fatigued for a moment under the power of unity.

“Whew.”

Check the bandages again.

“Come on.”

Kim Ji-woo was wearing a piece of equipment.

“I am a hunter. I'm a hunter. I...”

A hunter.

That's one of the reasons why Kim Ji-woo is holding out.

It's not like there's really no way to get out.

But more than fines, less reputations.

Lullaby -

The car started moving.

Kim Ji-woo looked at the moving city scene beyond the car window.

‘I don't have one. ’

That place might be in danger.

Despite the fierce opposition of hunters and pretenders, there was only one reason the government was pressuring hunters.

I really can't help it.

Fortunately, no civilian damage has occurred yet.

But already anxiety is spreading.

Maybe they're not safe anymore, and stopping them from thinking that's the whole point and purpose of a hunter's job.

Kim Ji-woo closed his eyes.

It wasn't to make eye contact.

To remind me of a man.

I've never actually met him.

We'll never see each other again.

A hunter who inspires himself more than anyone else.

Yooseong.

A year ago,

It was only when I first heard there was such a guy.

One of those people who was lucky enough to be talented was one of those people who cursed at me for their endless cheerfulness.

But in the end, like all young hunters, Kim Ji-woo was influenced by him.

with their outstanding skills and actions, and their arrogant attitudes and attitudes that someone seems proud of.

That's why I was impressed rather than jealous of the Chinese route to Yooseong.

Even when Yooseong caught one of the great catastrophes, he was one of the biggest contributors to the injury shock, even when it was known that he saved countless lives through his actions.

In the meantime, Yooseong was Kim Ji-woo's idol.

not just wealth and honor,

Gives the ideal walk and direction Kim Ji-woo should walk.

How frightening.

News that Yooseong did not return from a Chinese dive.

Other hunters,

No, like all Koreans, Kim Ji-woo raised his voice.

That can't be right.

There must have been something.

Yooseong can't die.

But all that screaming was empty.

There was no hunter named Yooseong in this world.

And half a year passed.

Still,

There was definitely a trace of it.

‘I am.’

I want to be like Yooseong.

Kim Ji-woo won't be the only one.

Other young hunters,

No, Kim thought that many hunters, regardless of their age, would each be drawing his image.

Perhaps the current situation itself is the effect.

As more and more casualties and casualties continue to increase, the number of illegitimate persons is surprisingly small, not just because of money and experience.

Kim Ji-woo was sure.

So he is here too.

I'm sleepy and tired.

The nerves stood still, and the annoyance went up to the top of my head.

But he was a hunter.

So....

Jiing -

“Huh?"

The long resonance of the magnetic field.

Suddenly, the hunters' faces become tense.

“It's open!”

Someone shouted,

Like he said, the crack began to open.

Twenty minutes ahead of schedule.

That's the error. It's not an observation error, but the problem is size.

“Hey, didn't you say this is a ‘typhoon’ class crack? The size of this is almost a ‘storm'....”

A rookie asked me,

They didn't answer right away.

It was an obvious question without an answer, and already their minds were full of consequences that would happen later.

-Renew

Along with the hunters' cell phones, a new briefing has been sent from the Control Center.

- Currently known as Rift Scale Storm to Opening Class.

- Input hunters should be placed in designated locations with no change.

“Fuck you! ”

The Bunkers' Team Leader shouted, but his expression was not just anger, but emotions.

"If it's an open-class crack..."

Not to mention the people around him.

We'll need twice as many hunters on blockade missions as we can get near the force and the center.

A few months ago, maybe.

In a situation like this, how long will it take for twice as many people to get emergency assistance?

An hour? Two hours? "

No, the army must be on the move.

Maybe the Pentagon has already made their decision.

“We have to stall...”

The team leader mutters.

It's not Mane's problem that's already risked his life.

Otherwise,

The second coming of Injury Shock in Seoul today.

No, it goes beyond that.

Now it can be seen with the naked eye. Black dots dropping towards the ground.

No one told me anymore.

Not just in the vehicles of bunkers.

The hunters are eager to die.

That's how the day started.

It was a day that everyone would remember.

I woke up in less than an hour.

Due to the metabolism of colostrum.
