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

Early afternoon, Washington Dulles International Airport.

As he left the departure hall pushing Marcus’ wheelchair, he saw a person holding an A4 paper with ‘G&G Corporation’ printed on it.

It’s probably a company employee who came to meet you.

As if the prediction was correct, the person holding the paper came toward me as if he recognized it.

“wow! These are the people I only heard about. I enjoyed watching the news.”

“hahahaha… Yes, nice to meet you.”

“Kang Tae-ri and Marcus Washington, respectively. right? Perhaps this is Washington and this is not Lee? ha ha ha!”

Let’s just laugh bitterly at the cold gag, and he continued talking on his own.

“Please feel free to call me John. Today, I will take you to the hospital and act as an insurance agent. and… … .”

While he was talking, he suddenly opened the briefcase for a moment.

He rummaged for something and handed me a thick, unopened piece of mail.

“I’m here to deliver this too, Lee. Congratulations.”

“… … ?”

I did something and looked it up, and it was a green card that I had been contacted by the head office before.

After a while, John’s voice continued.

“You can carry it with you, and you have to write down the information later, right? If you look here… … .”

Then, rustling, John took another envelope out of his briefcase.

I gave something else, but this time I also got Marcus.

“I didn’t mean to present it here originally, but since we were talking… I thought it would be better to give it in advance… … .”

“Oh.”

Marcus exclaimed as he opened the envelope before he knew it.

I quickly realized why.

It was because what was in the envelope was a new contract from G&G Corp.

The conditions have also been raised significantly.

It was one of the things I heard in advance from Robert, the director of the Foreign Cooperation Bureau, whom I met in Frankfurt.

‘Salary… Oh, that’s right.’

As I said, more than $40,000.

To be precise, the basic salary alone was about $48,000, and the annual salary was close to $580,000.

It is about 700 million won in Korean currency.

Perhaps, after receiving a few bonuses, the annual salary would easily exceed 1 billion won.

It’s not even confidentiality or taxes, it’s a legitimate profit.

I looked at the contents and raised my head.

“Is our team all new?”

“yes? Ah yes. They must have renewed the contract two weeks ago.”

At that, Marcus looked at the contract and looked up.

“I know everyone still has quite a bit of time left on the contract, but why are you doing it all of a sudden? It’s not a negotiation, it’s a unilateral way.”

“Perhaps it’s because of my recent exploits… Where is the problem? As far as I know, it was calculated at the highest level considering the industry and year. Didn’t you hate it?”

“Oh, not really. I asked because it was sudden.”

“hahahaha, you can. I understand. I also rarely have this… … . Still, I don’t think it will be as sudden as the on-site work, doesn’t it?”

“you’re right. Then can I sign right away? I think it would be better to give it as you received it.”

“Oh, are you going to do it now? You can do it now. Now, get a pen here… … .”

Around the time I picked up a pen at the sudden autograph.

A phone call came in.

It was a call from Maria who said she would meet her at the airport.

-lee! Are you at the airport now?

“Oh, it’s the airport. I just had a chat with an employee… where are you?”

Around the time I was about to look around the inside of the airport while talking.

“… … ?”

Two people caught my sight.

It wasn’t John and Marcus, whom I had just met, but sturdy men from quite a distance.

Wearing a walker that is easy to move in, wide-legged jeans, and a large padded jumper.

At first glance, they look ordinary, but they were people whose eyes and gaze handling were not normal.

As expected, the signal came to me.

It is like rubbing the lower part of the eye with your fingertips.

It was one of the passwords for allies that Lily Morgan, the staff member in charge, had heard beforehand.

When I took a similar posture, the people who were watching me moved their eyes to other places. Very natural and quick look.

‘… All of them are noblemen who are in one way or another.’

He was probably from a special forces unit or a trained special operations agent.

As I guessed, Maria’s voice crossed over.

Like a restless puppy.

– Oh, what should I do? now… I guess I’ll be late. 30… Or 35 minutes? 40 minutes… … ?

“hehehe, it’s growing. Then you better go to the hospital.”

-Sorry… … .

“I’m sorry, what… Are you splitting your vacation? You don’t have to come.”

– No, I wanted to go… … . I’m sorry, then can I go to the hospital?

“Yeah, what. Come to the hospital.”

While lightly ending the phone call, Marcus asked with an eyebrow raised.

“You say your lover can’t come?”

“I’m not a lover… Just friends, buddy.”

“Oh yeah. He was a friend who loved you so much. Well, that’s good. Like José said, it is good to have a lover.”

“Not yet, but what… Let it be.”

“I guess I should ask my wife to come visit me too.

In the midst of such small talk, John quietly intervened.

“Then let’s go to the hospital too, prepare the car outside… … .”

“No, let’s stop by the gunsmith first.”

I quickly cut off my words to guide them out of the airport.

“yes? there… … .”

“Wouldn’t it be nice to have this?”

As I waved the envelope containing the green card, John paused but nodded.

“Yes, it will work… You’re going straight from the gun shop? How about taking it slow after the hospital checkup and rehabilitation… … .”

“No, let’s buy a gun first. Because it’s unarmed… A little anxious, yes.”

It wasn’t just a light joke.

It wasn’t that I was so worried that my limbs were shaking, but I was worried because there was nothing.

Even if you have a pistol, you will be able to fire back at the enemy or whatever you do.

Then Marcus opened his mouth.

“Are you anxious? you?”

“No, that’s what it says. Anyway, isn’t it better to stay?”

“Um, that’s right. If you had a gun, you wouldn’t be afraid.”

Around the time we were talking like that, John seemed to have noticed and gave a soft voice.

“Then why don’t you go to a place that has a business agreement with our company? I have to go back, but… … .”

“Does it take long?”

“It will probably take about 30 minutes more if I stop by.”

“It’s fine. Then let’s stop by.”

Marcus nodded in agreement with my answer, and John gestured outside as if accepting.

“Okay, then let’s take it this way.”

“Yes, I understand.”

The answer came readily.

Compared to the warnings from Lily Morgan that he might become a target, so far it’s been very good.

I just finished renewing my contract, I’ll meet my female friend later, and I’ll just have to take a break for the purpose of examination and rehabilitation.

In addition, I was thinking of spending some of the activity money I received.

Because I had to live in America, I needed a house, I needed a car, and I needed my gun.

Of course, a wish list was also prepared to some extent.

There were people like bodyguards following her behind her, but as long as there was nothing special, it didn’t matter what she did.

There was nothing wrong with being protected.

As we left the airport, a black van stood there.

It was a vehicle that was modified to resemble a luggage compartment so that even a wheelchair could be loaded.

It was after I loaded Marcus and sat in the assistant seat.

I opened the window connected to the driver’s seat from the back.

“Are there any guns here?”

“Oh, a gun?”

“Yes, just in case. Anything like an assault rifle or something?”

John laughed at my words.

“hahahahaha, people who have been at the site are different as expected. This is the United States, not a conflict zone, so I don’t carry it. In fact, it’s more difficult to carry around because the laws on owning guns vary from state to state. There is a huge difference in gun control between Virginia and Maryland, with DC in between.”

Then John smiled.

I also thought America would be different from Al Jamash or Camarnia.

that it would be safe enough.

Even though they were targeted, it wasn’t certain yet, and there were bodyguards on top of that.

Of course, I needed equipment that could take care of my body.

“Don’t you have a pistol?”

“Ah, there is, but… Will you have it?”

“Yes, I’ll give it back to you when I go to the gunsmith.”

“ah… hahahaha, I see. ruler… Here it is. It’s an M&P, with a 10-round magazine.”

I received M&P with his explanation.

A pistol with a design similar to a Glock that uses 9mm Parabellum rounds.

I asked while checking the chamber and magazine habitually.

“Ten feet?”

“Yes, is it not enough? hahahaha, the Maryland state law I mentioned is up to 10 shots, so I adjusted it accordingly.”

“uh… That’s not my style.”

“Ha ha ha ha, is that so?”

while laughing like that.

The car started quickly, and before I knew it, I was driving on the main road near the airport.

The surrounding buildings quickly disappeared, leaving only the road.

Looking through the car window, I realized how wide the land mass of the United States is.

It was something I felt in Oregon, where I had met Jake before.

It won’t be easy to fight in a place like this.

In the meantime, John’s voice came over from the driver’s seat.

“This is the gunsmith. It’s good because it’s a place where you can shoot so you can zero in, and you get a discount for company employees.”

“That is good.”

After answering that, the car drove off to the side.

A two-lane road with only two lanes.

It was then.

“What?!”

The car shook with John’s startled sound.

It was a sudden stop.

Kiyiyi profit!

It’s also a situation where it stops after turning half a turn.

As the ear-splitting friction ended, the car came to a halt as if blocking the road diagonally.

And the moment I was about to ask John about the situation while unfastening my seat belt.

Tadadadadadadang!

A gunshot rang out.

Almost reflexively, he grabbed Marcus and threw him flat on the floor.

Fighting, shouting, shouting—!

Kang! Piyung-! Cagan!

The car pierced through like paper foil, filling all directions with the sound of gunfire.

“You’re crazy, f*ck. In America, this nonsense… … !”

While Marcus muttered something like a sigh.

Adjusting my gun, I crawled toward the door.

It was because the bullets were pouring only from the front.

By the time you get off the back.

“Lee, be careful.”

With Marcus’s words, I sneakily opened the door, and saw the two agents I had seen at the airport.

They too were engaged.

To be precise, the situation where we kill the enemies attached behind us.

‘The back will be safe if it’s not a blind bullet… … .’

As I finished my judgment, I leaned over and approached along the diagonally obscured body.

very slowly and carefully.

It was because there was no bulletproof vest, so if you reveal yourself, you might get a hole somewhere in your body.

Then, I looked at the car window near the driver’s seat and hesitated.

It was because John had already died.

He couldn’t even respond to that and was hit by a barrage of bullets and died.

“ah… … .”

I cleared my emotions with a sigh and took one step to the side while holding up the M&P.

It was to gradually widen the shooting angle.

At that moment, I saw something strange in my field of vision.

It was a human figure, exactly one knee, thigh, and foot.

Taang-! Tattang!

As the first shot knocked the enemy down, the remaining two followed in an instant.

One shot each to the shoulder and head.

It was correct in order from what you see.

“What, what?! Where did you shoot it!”

It was the voice of the enemy.

Somewhat clunky English came out, and the gunshots faltered accordingly.

At that moment, the angle widened even more.

gradually.

And I got it right, starting with what I saw.

bang! Valid!

Almost like a barrage of rapid fire.

I couldn’t even scream and let one more go, and the gunfire continued with shouts.

Fight against each other!

Kang! Cagan!

While the crashing sound of hitting the car’s engine sounds.

Moving to the side again, I waited for the enemy hidden by the car to be seen.

Step by step, step by step.

It was part of the CQB training in Camarnia.

And the moment you see the shape again.

I pulled the trigger right away.

bang! bang!

This time, after hitting the head with two shots, he suddenly left.

It was because the enemy’s gunfire stopped, and at the same time the sound of running came in.

It was a run away.

The one left alone must be panicking and running.

I pulled the trigger as I moved faster.

bang! bang!

I hit both feet one by one.

At the same time, the slide flipped back with a click, revealing an empty chamber.

It had consumed all the ammunition.

Fortunately, the guy who was running fell to the ground.

When I was conscious of him and about to capture the gun, a heavy voice approached me from behind.

They were agents of the Foreign Cooperation Bureau who had followed them from the airport, wearing familiar walkers.

“Lee, you can stop. From here on, we take care of it.”

“Okay. however… Let’s ask one question.”

“Please speak.”

“Now this… Are you sure you are a target?”

“According to what has been communicated… … .”

The agent hesitated for a moment as if choosing words before opening his mouth.

It seems like there is no substitute for it.

“… That’s right.”
