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

Sergei is dead.

The doctor didn’t diagnose him dead, but it was intuitive to see that he had stopped breathing.

I didn’t know because I had killed many enemies.

It looked like a corpse lying face down with both arms drooping, and it was clear that he wasn’t breathing, judging from the fact that he didn’t even move.

Sergei could only be seen as a corpse, not a person.

“… Siipal.”

Cursing came out of nowhere.

Sergei deserved to die, but he didn’t want to die here.

It was because I had too many questions to ask.

About Pikal, the real black man behind him.

And torture technicians, if not me, had plenty to find out about places where nuclear missiles were being developed or tested, other terrorists I knew, and so on.

So even though I had two chances to hit it, I didn’t pull the trigger.

It was deliberately to keep him alive.

The first was when he burst out of the side door.

Because of his size, I reflexively aimed at the upper part of the collarbone, but hesitated at the familiar face and shape and couldn’t bear to shoot.

It was because the bulletproof plate couldn’t cover it, so there was a high possibility of fatal injury or death if hit.

To put it simply, I’m afraid I’ll die.

So instead, I killed the RPG-7 gunner and the machine gunner in turn, then aimed at the head on the back window of the pickup truck as it receded, then gave up.

The head will definitely die instantly.

Instead, it hit the three visible wheels of the technical.

to stop the car.

But no matter how much I hit the accelerator in that short amount of time, it hit the wall hard.

‘But it’s like that, it’s like this… … ?’

I couldn’t have imagined it.

It’s not some kind of public service announcement, it’s a traffic accident caused by not wearing a seatbelt?

I didn’t get along with Sergei at all.

Just remembering the story of Larreple, Sergei was a character who fought to the end after causing terrorism in the US mainland and died heroically.

In the process, one ally was rendered incapacitated.

Of course, he was a person with a lot of ability. Whether it’s combat ability or field command.

Well, in the end, I died like this, but that must have been a mistake because I didn’t know my skills properly.

If I had prepared properly, it could have taken my breath away.

After thinking about it briefly, I put my finger on the nape of my neck just in case, but I quickly removed it.

Again, there was no pulse.

As I sighed again, I felt someone from behind.

Some of the Army Special Forces approached while noticing, but Jake, who was in the rear, appeared through the gap.

“lee!”

“Ah, chief.”

“What’s going on there?”

Jake asked as he approached.

But before I could reply, his eyes turned to the open driver’s seat.

The reaction was clear.

His body stopped, and his eyes shook.

You must have recognized Sergei.

“… … .”

He didn’t say anything and double-checked Sergei’s pulse, but I fully understood why.

Because the number one target to be removed from the Foreign Cooperation Bureau suddenly became a corpse.

It was probably more complicated inside than me.

Around the time I looked at this silently.

“uh?”

My body was staggering.

An Army Special Forces member behind him supported him, but just in time, his leg began to loosen.

As soon as I lowered my gaze, I understood why he was doing this.

It was because the thigh part of the cargo pants was bursting as if a bullet had passed through it, and the bottom was reddish-stained.

It seemed that the bleeding had progressed quite a bit.

“lee?”

Before I knew it, Jake looked back at me, took in a breath, then paused.

My chest was also sore.

When I looked up from the thighs to the upper body, the plate carrier chest part was torn.

It was only then that I remembered that about two bullets had been lodged during the engagement.

It wasn’t like the Dobit bullet I’d been hit at a restaurant before, it was a bullet that was aimed right at my torso.

I had been busy until just now, but when the situation was over, it seemed that the shock was coming.

Probably a few ribs were cracked or broken.

At the same time, I leaned completely against the soldier behind me and gave up all my weight.

“manager… … ?”

When I called for Jake, drowsiness began to set in.

It was getting hazy.

In addition, seeing that his voice was losing strength, it seemed that he had lost a lot of blood.

Blinking my eyes, I remembered the time when I was training all night.

The moment when I couldn’t overcome the fatigue and my eyelids were so heavy that I fell asleep without realizing it.

Now was the same as then.

He seemed to be saying something, but his voice wouldn’t come out of his mouth.

While the vision is gradually blurring like that.

Jake had a tourniquet on my thigh and was yelling for me to get some tea.

Of course, it didn’t sound like a shout to my ears.

Jake’s voice was getting quieter, as if his ears had been submerged in water.

“Bring the car right now… hurry… … .”

At the end of that sound, I felt as if I was sinking into the deep sea.

My ears went blank for a moment, and my eyes closed.

At the same time, the engagement that had just occurred began to emerge like a dream.

It wasn’t easy.

After all, I made it difficult.

Only 1 out of 10 enemies was killed by an Army Special Forces member, and I took care of 9 of them.

I couldn’t bear to let them go.

It wasn’t just because of lack of skill or lack of mastery. It was a matter of life and death, so I was worried about getting hurt or dying.

Marcus was carried away, and the battalion commander, Maxim, and one of the crew members were killed at the same time as the operation began.

For that reason, it was a bit overkill.

I would have been less hurt if I had entrusted a section to the Army Special Forces, but some of them would have been killed.

The enemies were not easy opponents enough to miss the inexperienced troops.

The two bullets stuck in my bulletproof plate and the bullets that must have gone through or passed through my thighs were proof of that.

As a result, I was losing consciousness due to lack of blood, but since I saved all the members, one of my goals was accomplished.

Of course, some were injured by shrapnel or projectiles, but it was not a big deal.

An issue to consider.

It would have been the same for me to fall. As you can guess, it wasn’t that serious.

He’s not dying from losing his limbs or puncturing his body, so a blood transfusion will probably solve the problem right away.

More important than me was Marcus.

‘Please live well… … .’

For now, I had no choice but to pray.

Jose was gone, so I had to trust him.

With that thought in mind, I let go of the spirit that had been holding on to the end.

It is like falling asleep after returning from the sleepless battalion tactical training in Mt. Songnisan.

* * *

Jake, who had stopped the bleeding from Kang-tae’s thigh, ordered the vehicle to move quickly and took action.

First, the gun was removed by loosening the suspenders, then the equipment was released by pulling the quick release handle on the plate carrier, and finally, the clothes were cut to check for additional wounds.

It was an instant.

Jake, who had completed the entire series of procedures faster than a veteran ER doctor, sighed in relief as he swept through Kangtae again.

“ha… … .”

Fortunately, no fatal injuries were seen.

Of course, there were two dark purple bruises the size of a fist on Kang-tae’s chest, and there were wounds from bullets and shrapnel on his shoulders and arms, but he could put up with those things.

All it takes is blood loss and fainting, which doesn’t seem very serious either.

The blood didn’t burst like crazy from the beginning, it was because it flowed quite slowly.

Of course, it wasn’t safe, but considering the time of the battle, the blood in the body wouldn’t have drained that much.

Wait for Jake to wait for the vehicle after making his judgment.

Cugggg!

aaa!

A technical car appeared, roaring the engine with a rough sound from the ground.

Vehicles of the Camarnia Army Special Forces.

Rachel was driving.

“… … ?!”

Jake, who thought the running soldiers were driving, hesitated.

It was because Rachel, who had spread the news over the radio, sprinted and appeared. It’s like a race, too.

Big and small—!

Rachel yelled hastily as the car stopped with the sound of grinding dirt.

“Jake! Load Lee! hurry!”

After calling out Jake’s name as if shouting instead of the word “team leader” Rachel used to spit out.

Jake almost reflexively picked up Kang-tae and put him in the back seat.

And the moment he took care of Sergei’s body.

Rachel sounded like she was busy, and Jake threw the body and climbed into the back of the truck.

At the same time, Rachel stepped on the accelerator and started the car.

It was when the members of the Army Special Forces were about to move.

“Rachel?!”

A hesitant Jake called for her, and the answer came back over the radio.

It seems like you already know what the back story is.

-The crew will come on their own, we talked about it right before departure. however… Rather, Lee is more important now. Oh, how are you exactly right now? did you check? Are you very serious?

These were busy questions filled with calm yet worry.

Jake answered while holding Kang-tae with one hand in the rattling luggage compartment.

“With the naked eye, there is no major trauma except for a gunshot wound to the thigh.”

-Well, then we’ll have to do a detailed diagnosis to be precise, but first we’ll have to see it as fainting due to bleeding. What is the expected blood loss?

“It won’t be much, the bleeding rate was rather slow.”

-… That’s fortunate. after… Please contact the hospital in advance to arrange a blood transfusion.

“But before that, you’d better drive safely. The luggage compartment shakes a lot.”

I was saying this because I was driving recklessly at speed.

I was running more rough on unpaved roads avoiding icy roads.

Soon, Rachel slowed down slightly.

But it’s not particularly noticeable, and it’s still fast.

Rachel sounded like an excuse.

-… Still, I can’t go any slower than this. Lee could be really dangerous if it’s too late.

After fainting due to bleeding, there was a possibility of brain dysfunction or even brain death.

In worse cases, it can even lead to death.

Of course, if the bleeding was stopped in time, the situation would not have worsened.

Rachel knows this all too well, but she can’t help but feel worried.

It was because even Kang-tae fainted and collapsed in a situation where Marcus was shot and hurriedly evacuated.

In an instant, 40% of the team’s power evaporated.

Of course, that was only the case in terms of headcount, and in terms of actual fighting power, Kangtae accounted for most of the team’s power, so it was virtually the same as the team disintegrating.

Naturally, that shouldn’t have happened.

In particular, Kang Tae should not have died or become crippled as he is a talented person who should be embraced by the United States.

Above all, Rachel’s heart was beating faster than ever.

‘Please be fine… … .’

I don’t know if this is because of the interests of the United States, camaraderie or other feelings.

She had no choice but to step on the accelerator as hard as she could.

Boaaa!

The destination is the nearest national hospital.

It was a place where the evacuation of the wounded had already been talked about in the process of establishing the operation.

Rachel, who had quickly set the technical up at the entrance to the emergency room, took a breather as she watched Jake jump down with Kangtae on his back.

“Whoa… … .”

The moment I tried to park the car properly like that.

She could see several Camarnian army vehicles and the technical vehicle that transported Marcus.

“… … .”

Marcus is probably in emergency surgery.

Rachel, who parked the car side by side, recalled what she had to do only belatedly.

report on the current situation.

But when she took out her cell phone, she couldn’t even dial the number.

It was because his fingertips were so trembling.

Looking back, I couldn’t remember how I drove.

It was the first time I had such feelings.

I don’t know why she was so worried, but as she learned, she took deep, slow breaths and calmed her emotions.

And the moment I tried to hold my phone again.

There was a crackling sound along with a short noise.

– Charlie five. The three of Charlie are going to start blood transfusions, and they say they’ll wake up without too much trouble. don’t worry too much

While Rachel’s eyes blink at the communication obscene language that means gang-tae.

Hopeful content came one after another.

-Charlie’s four are also in surgery… He was conscious when he arrived at the hospital. Maybe both will come back healthy.

It was only after hearing that that Rachel, who had been straining her back, sat down as if she were completely relaxed.

Any remaining tension was gone.

Meanwhile, Jake’s voice continued.

-… And behind it is the body of the target.

“I’m so glad… yes? Are you the target?”

– Check it out for yourself.

At Jake’s words, Rachel tilted her head and lowered her head, then froze.

It was because of the body in the luggage compartment.

Her condition was a mess, but her face and appearance made it clear that she was someone she knew well.

The number 1 most wanted person in the Foreign Cooperation Agency, Sergey Volkov.

Rachel’s mouth fell open.

“Oh my god… … .”
