Worship of each person (2) ― Temporary conference room in Jongno-gu, Seoul

“… … A growing number of second-class citizens are complaining of dizziness due to hunger or other reasons. In severe cases, fainting -”

Tung-! Tung-! Tung-!

There were three people in a small conference room.

Two men in digital military uniforms and one man in a suit.

Among them, a middle-aged man in a suit sitting at the head of the table pounded on the desk.

He, who had a stern face with a gold badge that stood out especially, opened his mouth and pointed at the soldier he was reporting to.

“Sergeant Park! I must have told you at the briefing not to make jokes about being a second-class citizen or something.”

Upturned eyebrows and a voice full of irritation.

Sergeant Park and So-Hwan Park stopped reporting in response to the emotionally charged reprimand and glanced to their right.

Another soldier to the right of the middle-aged man reprimanding Sergeant Park.

He received Park So-hwan’s glance and nodded with an expressionless face.

“I’m sorry, Rep. Jeong. I think it was something that my subordinates said often, so I picked it up without realizing it. I will be careful in the future.”

Only then did Park So-hwan bow his head and apologize to the middle-aged man at the head of the table.

A formal apology that is neither polite nor arrogant.

Tsk tsk tsk—

Jeong Dae-sik showed a displeased expression and clicked his tongue.

He was not blind.

He was also clearly watching the exchange of glances between Park So-hwan and his superior, Yeon-cheol Yeon-cheol, who continued before he apologized to himself.

“The discipline of the soldiers who are supposed to protect the people with all sincerity is beyond words! Colonel Kite! How do you manage the discipline of your battalion?”

Naturally, criticism passed to superiors.

“If you even manage to make such a pun in this situation, you will get a bullet in the back of your head, Representative.”

Yeon-cheol answered without even meeting Jeong Dae-sik’s eyes.

Jeong Dae-sik’s face turned bright red when he saw Yeon-cheol staring blankly at the ceiling until the end.

‘You damn military brats!’

Jeong Dae-sik’s eyes boiled over at the way he viewed himself as a complete pawn.

“Sergeant Park! How did you handle what I said!”

“Under review.”

“Didn’t you say that yesterday too? If my orders had been carried out earlier, the people wouldn’t have fainted from hunger!”

Power game.

For Jeong Dae-sik, this current situation was a very important moment that would determine the future of the Republic of Korea.

Ever since I was rescued by soldiers who suddenly appeared when I was just blinking from an unknown situation.

He never forgot that thought and engraved it in his heart.

It was a moment where every word and influence was truly important.

To the country and to me.

“It’s not that I don’t know the hard work of the soldiers! But the foundation of a country is always its people!”

An unidentified film covers Seoul.

A gloomy city with no life at all.

Strange cries and gunshots are heard every night along with stomps that shake the ground.

From that alone, we could see that Korea was in a very critical situation.

And in such an emergency situation, it was natural for the soldiers’ power to become stronger.

However, those who have been involved in politics for a long time should look further ahead than just one move ahead.

I had to think about Korea after this crisis is over.

The gap after the whining bastards went back to guard the house.

Isn’t Yeoncheol also protecting himself, thinking of the days beyond that gap?

They and I had a thorough win-win relationship.

“Distribute food to people suffering from hunger right now! Right now!”

In order to engage in big politics, you need an image that will appeal to the public.

And that image is deeply imprinted on the public in more dramatic situations.

opportunity.

This was a genius opportunity that finally came to me.

The party leaders laughed at themselves, claiming that they had failed to line up properly due to a mistake in judgment.

Those bastards who didn’t even think about giving nominations.

I imagined myself soaring to a place where I wouldn’t even be able to see their faces, let alone laugh at them.

“… … The food distributed to soldiers is also adequate.”

“Then wouldn’t it be okay to reduce the number of soldiers? What are you worried about when you have Lieutenant Colonel Yeon!”

As Jeong Dae-sik spoke passionately, green particles gathered in Yeon-cheol’s hands.

Jeong Dae-sik pointed his finger at the sight of the sparkling green light instantly turning into a semi-automatic pistol.

“Yes! Is there any reason to conscript a lot of soldiers when they have such mysterious abilities? It’s all a waste of budget and a waste of national power!”

Tung-!

Jeong Dae-sik tapped the desk as if he had decided.

“At this point, we can also do the same with the plan that has been talked about in the National Assembly, such as mechanization of the military or something! I think Colonel Yeon can do it!”

At Jeong Dae-sik’s words, Yeon-cheol let out a small laugh.

“Yes. I will closely discuss the matters you mentioned with my subordinates, Senator.”

Yeon-cheol did not make eye contact with himself until the end and answered half-heartedly.

“Now, let’s move on to the next report. Boss Park.”

“Yes!”

Anyone could see that these military barbarians were ignoring the words of the National Assembly member.

Crackling-

A bloody sound rang out from Jeong Dae-sik’s mouth.

It was clear that the guys who were quite polite on the first day were gradually crossing the line into arrogance.

“Finally, the search of the special base ‘Blue House’ has ended.”

“… … oh! Really?”

However, a topic too important to be left trembling with anger has come up.

Dae-sik Jeong and Yeon-cheol Yeon focused on the introduction that So-hwan Park said.

“Yes. There was no trace of the VIP anywhere in the Blue House.”

“… … Hmm, I see.”

The corners of Jeong Dae-sik’s mouth rose slightly as he spoke for a long time.

“I couldn’t even find a VIP’s shadow, let alone a VIP, in Jongno.”

“… … Yes.”

Park So-hwan sent a reply one beat late to Jeong Dae-sik, who asked with a calm face and voice.

Knock- Knock- Knock- Knock-

A sudden sound of knocking on the table.

Yeon-cheol, who was tapping the table with a steady beat, whispered softly.

“The moment to admit it has come.”

“Yes. It’s unfortunate, but what can I do, Colonel Yeon? What you have been doing so far-”

“I was holding a dog card.”

For the first time, Yeon-cheol, who had been staring at the ceiling, lowered his head.

Jeong Dae-sik, who was faced with an unwavering pupil, pondered his words and suddenly stood up.

“ Let’s see this bastard ha―”

Jeong Dae-sik, who was about to swear, had no choice but to stop.

The pistol in Yeon-cheol’s hand was aimed at himself.

Just looking at the black muzzle makes me break into a cold sweat and my pupils shake.

“Sit.”

dump-

What was in Yeon-cheol’s hand was a magic wand that made him listen to anything he said.

Park So-hwan, who immediately approached Yeon-cheol, continued to aim at Jeong Dae-sik with the handed pistol.

With both hands free again, Yeon-cheol sank into his chair and knocked on the desk.

Knock- Knock- Knock- Knock-

“National Assembly member Jeong Dae-sik.”

He gazed at the gold shining proudly on Jeong Dae-sik’s chest.

“You were lucky enough to be born into a world where you could succeed just by studying.”

A strong voice continued.

“I was lucky enough to become a judge in a world where law is important.”

“I was lucky enough to become a member of the National Assembly with power just by using a business card.”

Knock- Knock- Knock- Knock-

“The important thing is that we no longer live in an era where luck is important.”

Knock-.

“2nd place national Jeong Dae-sik.”

he asked.

“How many zombies have you killed so far?”

“… … What?”

“It means that you have proven your citizenship with a gun, not with words.”

Jeong Dae-sik’s mouth gaped at the indifferent question.

For the first time, my sixth sense was warning me.

If you stay here, you will die.

“ character. Why are you doing this? Wow!”

Grumble!

Before he knew it, Park So-hwan, who was standing behind him, was pressing down on his shoulders and squeezing him.

Jeong Dae-sik, who had slowly stood up again, fell back into the chair and felt a cold touch on his temple.

chin-.

I knew what it was just by feeling.

“Park, Boss Park! No, Colonel Yeon! I’m sorry! Whatever I became, I’m truly sorry!”

Despite Jeong Dae-sik’s pleas, he maintained his gaze without wavering.

“Why, why are you doing this! Let’s put the guns away first and resolve things through dialogue! First, get the gun first!”

“… … .”

He waited for execution without saying a word.

“Jeong Dae-sik.”

“Sergeant Park! Well, Sergeant Park, please talk to Colonel Yeon! Summon! Park So-hwan!”

“New Emergency Order No. 2 ‘All second-class citizens must mobilize all their capabilities to help first-class citizens to restore the country.’ Based on… ”

“What, what? Emergency orders? What happens when there is no president?

“Deprive Jeong Dae-sik of his rights as a second-class citizen.”

“There is no president! Without a president—”

Taang!

A single gunshot stopped the endlessly repeating cries.

Park So-hwan strongly pushed the fallen body of Jeong Dae-sik with a kick.

Blood flowing from him sprawled on the floor with a crunching sound.

Yeon Yeon-cheol, who was looking at Jeong Dae-sik’s stuffed face with a frowning expression, chuckled for the first time.

“Even at the moment of falling behind, I guess I wanted to know who the president was.”

Oh, and like Jeong Dae-sik, he goes ugly when he leaves.

Yeon-cheol continued to stare at the corpse of the National Assembly member, who might be his last.

The Republic of Korea is on the verge of extinction.

I couldn’t leave this country, where even the president had disappeared, to that pig-like person.

What our country needs now are people with guns, not pigs with only words.

Doesn’t history tell us?

‘… ‘Imjin War, Japanese Colonial Period, Korean War.’

What has always protected this country has been guns and swords, not pens.

Suddenly the door opened and the waiting citizens disposed of the body.

The blood of the pig being dragged by the soldiers lined the door.

After the soldiers, who had even wiped away the traces of blood with a rolling pin, closed the door, Sergeant Park opened his mouth again.

“Can I finish the report, Your Excellency?”

“Um.”

Yeon-cheol nodded and walked to the window.

The real report follows him as he stares out the window.

“Last night, 20 new people who requested conscription were conscripted.”

“How many people are left?”

Strong soldiers are not born naturally.

The first virtue of a soldier is training, and the second is training.

In ‘Seoul Night’, only those who recognize the enemy who has ravaged the Republic of Korea and survive to the end can live in this land as first-class citizens.

“5 people.”

“There was more left than I expected.”

“It’s all thanks to the weapons given by His Excellency. What should the remaining 15 people do?”

Either alive or a zombie.

People who failed to prove themselves in the Seoul night.

“Did they kill the zombies?”

“No. I couldn’t kill you, Your Excellency.”

then,

They were not first class citizens.

“How did they die?”

“Unable to overcome fear, he left the ranks.”

then,

They were not second-class citizens.

“Leave it as is.”

“Yes, sir.”

The situation was not comfortable enough to feed and treat people who were not citizens.

Even though zombie cures are being supplied to the first-class citizens, food for the second-class citizens is not being supplied on time.

However, the situation will soon improve.

[Current Awakened control rate in Jongno-gu: 90%]

There are not many days left to take control of Jongno-gu, the center of Korean politics.

Chuck- Chuck- Chuck-

Outside the window, my soldiers who had completed the special base were advancing down the road.

First-class citizens moving to the next base with the regular and dynamic sound of military boots.

Grumbling-

Soon the tanks followed the march, their tracks making a loud noise.

Iron tanks occupying the roads of Seoul.

“You unintentionally follow in the footsteps of your seniors.”

Yeon-cheol smiled and shook his head.

I don’t know what kind of heart or determination they had in taking the decision.

But myself.

With his determination to save his country, he killed his rivals and reached this point.

Those who join his cause will enjoy the glory as first-class citizens.

All of those who failed to participate had already been deprived of their rights as citizens.

This was a revolution, not a coup,

“For the endless glory of our country and people.”

It was fate.
