Go back in time a little, to when the battle began.

Idacheon was in the second floor room of the village chief’s house with Jaha and Seohui.

Gunshots began to be heard outside, but they just stayed still.

Although the place to take shelter was decided at the last meeting, I had no desire to go there.

They didn’t want to be in the same space as the villagers who had abandoned them so many times.

And it’s not like there are no countermeasures.

Trained by a sergeant, they now know how to handle firearms.

If a robber comes here… I can fight him.

Hearing the gunshots outside, he recalled what the sergeant had said.

If the situation does not allow, run away to the junction point.

The junction was between the village and the mart.

You can get there quickly by going through the hole dug by the residents.

Fortunately, the battlefield was visible from the window in this room, although I had to use a telescope.

Seohee was speaking while looking at the battlefield through a telescope.

The reason I am telling you this is because you may be exposed to danger.

There were curtains on both sides of the window, and after drawing the curtains, I looked through the telescope inserted into the gap in the middle.

This will make it harder for the enemy to detect you, because the sergeant has warned you to be careful because there might be snipers on the enemy side.

Now the residents were shooting, but they were unable to hit the robbers beyond the car.

The person who heard the situation was thinking.

The robbers probably have a variety of weapons. We also have some, so we could have an even fight, but I couldn’t be optimistic because of those cars.

We may need to get ready to leave right now, because someday our defenses may be breached and they will storm into this house.

” I don’t think I can just wait.. ”

” Wait. ”

Seohee listened to Jaha’s words and spoke firmly.

” It’s okay for now. We’ve prepared a lot too. In these situations, the defense is more advantageous than the attack. And what if we go out and meet them? That’s more dangerous. ”

” Is that really true.. ”

” Sigh, let’s just move forward after seeing the situation. Got it? ”

” Yes.. ”

” Sigh… ”

In fact, Seohee was also anxious. She just didn’t show it.

The very sight of the group slowly approaching from afar was a source of anxiety.

It was then that a few villagers were climbing onto the roof when one of them was shot by an enemy sniper.

Seohee, who saw that, quickly fell down from the window.

Ja-ha said, looking at Seo-hee who had fallen from the window.

” …. Is there a sniper..? ”

” One of the residents got hit. We should be a little careful. ”

Even if you cover most of it with curtains, if some light is unfortunately reflected on the telescope lens, it’s like advertising that I’m here.

For the time being, we will be unable to conduct outside reconnaissance.

” …Are you done packing? ”

” Yes. I just packed enough for the three of us. ”

” … Let’s wait a little longer. That sniper will probably be out of his mind, so he won’t bother looking far away. ”

” Then, should we scout out another place with another window? Just in case. ”

” I’ll look first. See you later. ”

Seohee went to check if there were any problems with the escape route she had planned in advance.

At the end of the path was a hole dug by the locals.

There were three holes outside, but only one in the village.

They dug halfway and then made a fork in the road.

I looked through my telescope at the location of the hole and saw something unexpected happening.

” Huh.. ”

Two masked robbers emerged from the hole.

I looked into their eyes. They were filled with desire.

” Get ready, Jaha. It doesn’t seem safe here anymore. ”

” ..already.. ”

They are burglars. The problem is that they are not stealing things, but people.

If you see someone being caught with lust, there is a good chance that they will not be safe.

The townspeople didn’t know, but if they saw us, they would definitely come running.

Look, the groin is sticking out a little bit.

” Are those two people? ”

Before she knew it, Ja-ha was watching the two robbers through a telescope next to Seo-hee.

” Yeah, they’re perverts with guns. If they get caught, it won’t be a good thing. ”

I looked at those two people and thought.

If that is their intention and that is what they are doing, they will definitely search the surroundings thoroughly.

Then wouldn’t it be okay to just leave then? But there was something I was worried about.

The time it takes to get in and out of the house won’t be that long, since few people will be staying in their own homes, not in shelters like us.

And if you get caught while moving, it’s a disaster.

..Should I just wait here?

The route to the village chief’s house wasn’t particularly difficult.

The wall was low so you could just jump over it, and there were several doors in the house that were wide open.

Even if it’s locked, they won’t give up.

The first floor had many such variables, but the second floor did not.

The second floor entrance has only one staircase.

The stairs were shaped like the letter D.

It will be easy to defend from above.

” Wait here. They’ll definitely come here. ”

It’s not that far from here to the hole, so it shouldn’t take long to get here.

” I see you have a good idea. ”

” Aim your gun at the stairs on the second floor and ambush them. This will make us much safer. ”

” Okay. Let’s do it. ”

As soon as Seohee agreed, he started to move.

############

” Hey! Aren’t you there? ”

” Oh, no. Shit. Why is it so hard to find a girl? ”

These robbers were the ones left behind to watch the entrance to the hole.

But as soon as his colleagues left, he disappeared into a hole and came out to the village as if that was none of his business.

” Hey, look over there. Don’t you think there’s something in that building? ”

” Hoo, definitely.. ”

The place that one of the robbers pointed to was the village chief’s house. It was noticeable because it was taller than the other buildings.

” Let’s go there. Who knows? They might be crowded there. ”

The robbers were walking along, ignoring other houses.

After some time, the robbers arrived at the front door.

I tried pushing on the front door, but it was locked and wouldn’t open.

” Hey, let’s just jump over the wall. It’s not that high. ”

The height of the wall was just below the robber’s chest.

The robbers climbed over the wall and broke into the house.

” I’ll search the first floor. You go to the second floor. ”

” Yeah. ”

The robbers dispersed. They had come in through a different way than the front door, so there was some distance to the stairs.

The robber, who decided to search the first floor, opened a door that appeared to be a bathroom.

My stomach had been hurting for a while, so I needed to go to the bathroom.

As I was spending time on the toilet, I heard a sound I shouldn’t have heard.

bang!!

Gunshot?! The robber quickly wiped his behind and ran in the direction where the gunshots were heard.

It must have been heard from the second floor.

That idiot couldn’t stand it any longer and shot his gun. No, maybe…?

An ominous thought crosses my mind.

What if the person who shot wasn’t the robber… but someone else?

The robbers figured out the stolen weapons tent.

It was hard to imagine that the humans left here didn’t even have self-defense equipment.

The robber climbed the stairs carefully, without making any noise.

At the bend in the stairs, his colleague lay bleeding, with a hole between his eyebrows.

‘ Chew.. ‘

The robber ran down the stairs. There must be an enemy up there, no matter what.

The robber didn’t want to fight, as he came to play rather than fight anyone.

The robber ran down the stairs and opened the front door, which was somehow unlocked, in front of the stairs.

” Hello? ”

When I opened the front door, what I saw was a young woman holding a gun.

Seohee said, aiming at the robber.

” Take care. ”

bang!

Seohee, without hesitation, poked a hole between the robber’s eyebrows.

Well, at least the robber’s goal was achieved to some extent.

Even though he killed himself, he still managed to find the young woman.

############

Seohee and Jaha initially planned to stay on the second floor, but Seohee decided to hide in the yard to prepare for variables.

This was done after seeing that robbers only searched the inside of the house.

People instinctively prioritize curiosity. If they hear gunshots relatively close by, they may go to check it out. If the other person had a more cautious personality, it might be different, but if they were that cautious, they wouldn’t have come to the village with only two people.

If a person who sees the corpse of a comrade realizes that he is at a disadvantage, he will try to get away from that place.

If you were coming down the stairs and the front door was right in front of you, wouldn’t you try to open it?

So I opened the front door and waited with my gun pointed at the robber, and voila, he was caught in the trap.

I’m glad things went as planned. But two shots were fired here, so this place is no longer safe. So it’s time to abandon this place.

Numerous gunshots could still be heard along the village border.

..It’s risky, but let’s go through the hole.

Seohee stepped over the corpse and headed towards the stairs.

As soon as I reached the second floor via the stairs, I saw Jaha aiming in this direction.

” Hey! Hey! Don’t shoot! It’s me! ”

” Oh, it was you, sister. ”

Jaha took his finger off the trigger and held the gun so that the muzzle was pointing upwards.

Seohee told Jaha to leave the village through the hole.

” What if I run into a robber on the way? ”

” I think it’s unlikely. Those two are probably the guys guarding the exit of the hole. Those who are so obsessed with desire will drag in the people around them. And even if there’s a robber at the exit, we just have to be careful. ”

There are forks in the road, but for the most part, the road is straight ahead and back.

They said it’s not that long, so just bear with it for a bit.

” You carry Dacheon and follow me. Give me the gun. Let’s go right now. ”

Seohee put Jaha’s gun on her back and held her own gun in front of her.

Jaha came out carrying Dacheon on her back and two bags in front.

So the group headed towards the hole.

The group reached the entrance to the hole and went in.

I got to the exit but didn’t encounter any robbers.

” Fortunately, there aren’t any. Where did the sergeant tell us to meet? ”

” Wait a minute. I have a map in my bag. ”

Jaha put down Dacheon, opened her bag, and took out a map.

It was nothing more than a rough map drawn on a large piece of paper.

The village was roughly drawn, with a hole exit a little way off, and a circle marked further away.

” I told you to come here. ”

” Here? ”

Where is this place?

Seohee did not understand the map that boasted the beauty of blank space, even if it was rough.

” I’ve been there once before, so I’ll take the lead from here on out. ”

” Yeah. ”

Jaha, who had picked up the map again, carried Dacheon on her back and led the way.

Jaha, who was walking outside and looking around, pointed to one side and spoke as he walked.

” If you go that way, ㄷ Whew! ”

Ja-ha suddenly fell forward as her feet sank.

Ja-ha was able to avoid being hit thanks to the bag she was carrying in front, but Da-cheon, who was behind her, was thrown forward.

The place where Dacheon, who had fallen so hard and was blown far away, landed was not a very good place.

There was an anti-personnel mine there.

Click, Kwakwakwang!!!

” Hey, Dacheon! ”

Jaha jumped up and tried to run, but Seohee, who was behind her, grabbed her.

” Wait. Do you think there’s only one mine there? ”

” But Dacheon is there.. ”

” I know, I know… ”

How did you get it back?

” Oh, shit. ”

Seohee and Jaha, who had been thinking, looked at her in surprise.

There, Idacheon was getting up, holding his head.
