When I Opened My Eyes, I Was in the Middle of the Battlefield

The shootout in front of the villa was unexpected.

It was because not only was this not the place where Sergei’s men died, and there was no scene of monitoring this place in the game at all.

It wasn’t that I couldn’t guess.

I did a little bit.

It was just a problem because the direction was different from what I had guessed.

‘Maybe this story has gone a lot further than I thought… … ?’

Thinking about it again made me shake my head.

Although they can appear out of nowhere, I thought they would appear out of circumstances I knew. For example, at a missile test site where they are being tested, or with a terrorist group they mobilize.

Of course, I thought that things would get worse or change by changing little by little.

However, it was not at that level.

It was because I ran into Sergei’s men by chance after I went down for a while without my body armor and M4 right after I moved my accommodation.

It was clear what this meant.

‘It’s 100% surveillance.’

It was not an exaggerated idea or a delusion.

The guy who looked at me was Sergei’s subordinate, and what he was doing was also an obvious observation.

It was very likely that Sergei knew me.

No, given his disposition, it would be difficult not to know.

So, in order to inform the Foreign Cooperation Bureau of this situation, I told Jake in detail.

It must be that white Russians were spying on me.

Of course, I excluded the word ‘subordinate’ that I couldn’t explain, but the meaning would have been conveyed anyway.

Although the Foreign Cooperation Bureau was half a step behind, it was not lacking.

It was competent enough, if you ask me.

The attitude of the local police in Camarnia was proof of that.

It was because even though a person was killed in the shooting, the situation was finished with visa confirmation and a few light questions in front of the villa.

I didn’t call them separately to investigate or detain them.

I continued to pick up the gun, and went to the military unit training that was scheduled.

Of course, I didn’t lose heart.

Ever since the day of the shootout, I’ve been vigilant.

It was no different in the Army Special Forces.

Military barbed wire wrapped around the outside of the unit, and there was a guardhouse, but it was because it was an instant to enter if you set your mind to it.

Even though it was a special forces unit, it was not up to standard.

For that reason, I wore not only the plate carrier I forgot to take off the other day, but also a bulletproof helmet and safety goggles, and just in case, I brought a 4-eye night vision goggles in a secondary pouch.

In addition, 180 rounds of 5.56mm bullets, 51 rounds of 9mm pistol bullets, and two bayonets were also packed.

Concerned about the possibility of isolation, I brought emergency food.

Simply put, they were fully armed.

It was a bit disappointing that it was an M4 rather than the HK416 originally used by Al Jamash, but it wasn’t bad. I’ve used it in the past during joint US-ROK training, and it’s known to be usable as an American-style gun.

It was time to look around even after joining the Camarnia Army Special Forces unit.

“lee.”

Rachel’s voice was a little low.

When I looked back, she was staring straight into my eyes.

“Is it because of the work in front of the villa?”

He didn’t say anything, but Rachel guessed it.

Again, it was good to see.

As if she didn’t have to answer me, she tapped me on the side and continued.

“You don’t have to be so vigilant. I mean it. I’m not saying this because this is the Army Special Forces.”

“… … ?”

Around the time I blinked my eyes as the thoughts I had just came out.

Rachel smiled lightly and continued.

“Let’s share it without having to do it alone.”

At the same time, she had been lowering her voice more and more.

“It would be a more plausible metaphor to divide or take turns carrying the cargo collected from the operation site. So don’t try to shoulder this situation alone. Even if you pretend not to, my eyes will see it all, so don’t lie. If it’s a bit embarrassing or reluctant to say it, just nod your head slightly. I’ll tell you if I can be on guard against those three people.”

“What’s so… … .”

“Puh, then put down the burden. I don’t know about those three, but I think you’re too sensitive right now. Not just today… All the last few days, right?”

It was correct.

I was a bit nervous because I thought the story had changed drastically right after the shootout.

It wasn’t that I was stressed out, but I was vigilant in my own way throughout the weekend.

Exactly, until this moment.

Rachel seemed to notice that.

“The team leader and assistant team leader, Jose… Everyone trusts you. Whether it’s a relationship as a colleague or ability as a team. Sadly, they may not be as great as you, but they are people who do their job well enough. Ah, I think I’ll be included in it… that’s right?”

“sure. Who am I to trust if not the team? Same with Rachel.”

“thank god. Then don’t try to handle everything by yourself. We are a team.”

Rachel made eye contact while doing so, then raised her voice.

“I think it will be fine, but if you have any psychological difficulties, tell me. Of course, not me, but the psychological counselor at the head office… … .”

“Ahh, okay. Mental is strong because it is steel.”

“Yes, I thought so.”

When I cut my concerns halfway through, Rachel smiled again as expected.

It was like an older sister.

I lived as an only child, and I never met even my relatives because I didn’t come and go, and there were only older brothers and younger brothers in the unit.

If there was an older sister who worried about her, I wondered if it would be Rachel.

Except for the first time I met him, he consistently treated me as a colleague and also helped me in many ways.

‘Did I only look at Rachel too calculatedly… … .’

Come to think of it, the Rachel I knew was a competent undercover agent who carried out operations and missions in Lareple.

Of course, human interaction was often staged, but nothing more than that.

I also fell in love with the character and scenario rather than that sensibility.

However, since this is not a game but a reality, Rachel will surely feel and empathize.

In the meantime, Rachel, who hit me on the side again, started walking in front of me, looked at her back, and nodded.

‘Ah, I’m the older brother, but what… … .’

I ended up laughing.

It was because I was so confused about my age outside of Lareple that I often forgot it.

It was real, and it wasn’t about self-reflection.

It was just getting darker.

I don’t know if it’s because I spent about 4 months busy, but it just felt like my previous life was getting farther away.

Of course, I had no regrets for the rest of my life.

Because it’s a hard life anyway.

It was just a pity that the 10 years of being a special forces soldier remained only as memories for me, and that I could no longer see the seniors and successors I worked with.

There was nothing else to regret or hope for.

There, I was an old man with a belly, limping because of an injured pelvis and knee in a car accident.

On the other hand, here he was a strong young man whose body was not perfect.

Couldn’t compare.

In the meantime, I stood in front of dozens of Army Special Forces who had lined up before I knew it.

“welcome. I am Maxim Bayev, battalion commander of the Army Special Forces.”

It was the face I remember.

It wasn’t because he had a thick mustache, but because he was someone he’d often seen while in charge of training for the Army Special Forces.

To be honest, I was also the supervisor of the scenario at the time.

This was because the shooting process, such as CQB or street fighting, had to be demonstrated in front of the crew, points were set according to the results of the demonstration, and bonuses were paid by the company according to the points.

You could use that bonus to fix or buy equipment.

Of course, that was just the system of Lareple that I played, and the reality was different.

It was because the other team members who had served a few years ago were better suited as demonstrators than I, who had learned the doctrine of US military tactics from the files Jake gave me.

The same goes for descriptors.

“Nice to meet you. My name is Marcus Washington, who served in the 75th Ranger Regiment and Green Berets for six years with Delta Force.”

Marcus, who was applauded by the crew, explained the tactical doctrine, and then took Jose to demonstrate.

There was not a single part of me to play in.

“… Two methods of entering the compartment have been known so far, but I will explain the newly spread method around the time I was discharged. Currently, Green Berena and Delta Force also use this method, so please listen carefully. Jose, move slowly. ok, come on… Instead of entering directly into the cross or direct here, it is becoming fashionable to go around the door to the side and figure out the inside. It may seem dangerous, but you can check the inside in advance by more than 80%, so the hit rate is lower than going into a cross or direct. It also increases observation time, which is good for booby trap prevention.”

At the same time, Jose demonstrated in front of the board, crabbing, and I fell in love with it.

It was something I hadn’t seen in the Special Forces I served 10 years ago, and it was the first time I had ever seen a way to enter a compartment, and it was because the movement was quite sophisticated.

“oh… … .”

I even came out with a little admiration.

Then, a memory from the past came to mind.

Al Jamash training center.

I suddenly remembered what I had heard there about my style.

Even though I went through the single CQB course and broke records, Jake told me I was rusty, and Marcus and Jose also said it was unnecessary or regrettable.

At the time, I was a little startled and stopped to hesitate.

It was because I thought that even with 3 characteristics, I couldn’t cover the 10 years when I had a gun.

Of course, Jake said it wasn’t necessary to fix it right away, but now I see it wasn’t.

Quite different.

Even though it was just a motion to enter the compartment, it was very stable and neat.

A clutter-free look.

It was clear that it would help increase the survival rate.

‘Keuuu, I should have recognized these skills back then… … .’

Again, admiration shot up in his throat.

It was because I didn’t realize it much when I saw the video that was simultaneously transmitted to the monitor at the time.

No, everyone passed by so fast that I didn’t have time to pay attention and learn.

It was only later than me, all I thought was that I did well.

But now it was different.

Marcus pointed out the movements, pointed out the position of the feet, pointed out the order to move, and Jose implemented them very slowly, so everything came into my head.

It was like the 1st and 2nd tier US special forces.

‘Wow, is this an SSS class class… … .’

slowed down at the same time.

It was something I realized while moving my feet alone.

‘At that time, I was talking about 1 minute and 50 seconds… If I do well, I’ll save a few more seconds there.’

In an operation, life and death can be divided even in fractions of a second, so a few seconds will be of great help.

It should be enough to save someone from the danger of death by a narrow car.

I made up my mind again.

My ultimate goal was to save the world beyond the lives of my teammates.

It was so grandiose that I cringed, but I couldn’t help it.

Or else I’m going to die.
