When I Opened My Eyes, I Was in the Middle of the Battlefield - When I Opened My Eyes, I Was in the Middle of the Battlefield chapter 224

Early morning, Estonia Air Base.

Harry left the room after finishing maintenance and resting in the temporary lodging.

The destination is the meeting room where the seniors are said to be.

He wasn’t going to meet his team leader, Jake, or the commander who manages the airbase in Estonia.

It was a visit to Ron Myers, a man from the mainland.

Instead of Robert, he went back and forth between the field and the mainland to coordinate and conduct, and was there to meet him when he returned.

As soon as he saw Harry, he lightly raised his hand.

“Merry Christmas, Harry.”

It was a natural greeting, but instead of saying hello, Harry got straight to the point.

“How’s your senior?”

There was a hint of concern and tension in his words.

It had been several hours since Lee had been brought here, and no word had been given.

I was just going to tell you later, so I told you to take a break after personal maintenance.

So, after cleaning up the equipment, washing, sleeping, and waking up, there was still no news about Lee.

In particular, Harry, who had given first aid to Lee, had no choice but to worry about him.

Because I cut the walker myself with scissors.

The inside was grim.

All ten toenails fell out, the skin on the soles of the feet peeled off, and the insides of socks and walkers were soaked with blood and ooze.

It wasn’t soaked in, but enough to splash around.

To be precise, some of them were frozen or hardened, but new blood continued to pool on them.

It wasn’t just Walker.

I cut the pants off and checked the legs, but it was just as serious.

Her skin was all purple, as if her blood vessels had burst because she couldn’t pour it, and the parts that were rubbing against her clothes had peeled off as if they had been polished, and the temporary dressing Kang-tae had turned into blood.

It was a truly terrifying sight.

He also had a hard life in the military, and had heard many stories about his experiences, but it was the first time he had ever seen a walker or his pants become that way just by marching.

But I got it.

Because Kang-tae did something that no one could do, impossible.

The distance he walked alone was 350 km.

Not in days, but in one day.

Harry, hard-faced, hurriedly added an afterword.

“I have been waiting for several hours. I waited because they said they would tell me the news, but why are they still… … .”

“You are second.”

Myers calmly cut off the conversation.

It seems like you’ve already been through it.

Harry, who continued to speak, blinked his eyes.

“yes?”

“Rachel was already gone 30 minutes ago.”

“Is it Rachel?”

“okay. hmm… Come to think of it, they’re both from the CIA. Does the obsession with securing information remain? Like a habit?”

At that, Harry immediately shook his head.

“Not at all. I respect you more than anyone else. The reason I joined this team was because of my senior. Now, more than anyone else, he is the most trusted colleague… How can I not worry about you?”

“Lee is fine. Life wasn’t in danger in the first place. Don’t you know too? You dropped out, but you graduated from medical school, right?”

“Then why don’t you tell me or show me any news related to you?”

At that, Myers laughed.

“Are you worried about putting Lee on the test bench?”

“… … !”

At that, Harry flinched.

It was because something similar had already been said among colleagues.

In particular, Andrei, who had no loyalty to this country, reacted most sensitively.

Wouldn’t you like to open the cap on Kang Tae’s head in a place like Area 51?

It was a bit of a joke and a bit of seriousness, but Harry was also concerned for similar reasons.

It was because there were quite a few things I heard about when I was affiliated with the CIA.

Overseas secret facilities, domestic secret laboratories, and so on.

I’ve heard quite a few false rumors that extra-legal things happen under the control of the US government.

Harry sighed and opened his mouth.

“… Did you even come up with such an opinion? no way… Already taking such action… … .”

Unable to speak, his throat groaned and he swallowed.

It wasn’t just because of rumors.

It was because of the large number of Americans at the Estonian airbase.

Those in black suits and black sunglasses, and American soldiers in combat uniforms with patches removed.

It was clear that one was a government agent and the other was a special forces unit belonging to the military.

With them almost occupying the base, Harry couldn’t help but be more sensitive.

Because it looked like it was going to be a special operation or an operation.

As I looked at this nervously, Ron, who had been watching quietly, opened his mouth.

“Hey, kid. I knew Lee before you. Al Jamashra also advised Robert to join him based on his performance in the conflict zones of the Middle East. But what? Put it on the test bench?”

Ron, who had a serious expression on his face, shook his head and continued.

“If you put Lee on the test table, you have to kill me first. Do you think I would allow you to slit his stomach or his head? you’re welcome. I just want to protect American security with him. Researchers only took blood and urine.”

Harry said as if he was broken by the firm words.

“Then the agents of the base… … .”

“Oh, that’s why.”

Ron, who was staring at him heavily, replied as if he understood.

It was because the Estonian air base was being defended like an iron bar more than a presidential security guard.

“I was going to let Lee know when he wakes up… … .”

“yes? What is it?”

“Your wanted has been issued.”

Harry’s eyes widened in surprise.

“I’ve been through this before… How much is it? double? three times?”

“It’s the same for killing, ten times more for capturing alive.”

“ah… … !”

Harry’s mouth fell open.

Because the amount that had been staked before was $100 million, ten times that was a whopping $1 billion.

Harry, surprised by the amount, asked right away.

“Looking at what you say, you seem to be reliable… How was it confirmed?”

“It’s from the Russian Army.”

“ah… … .”

I had to open my mouth again.

It was because, unlike the usual Dark Web or shadowy organizations, the Russian army was more reliable.

“… Then, how about you? Are you awake?”

“no.”

“So you’re saying you’re still unconscious?!”

Ron shook his head at the surprised question.

“He is sleeping.”

“… okay.”

Harry agreed.

He himself was tired from not being able to sleep, but it was nothing compared to Kang-tae.

Sleeping all day would not be enough.

Harry, who had finished his business before long, spoke politely from his seat.

“Thank you for answer. And sorry for being rude.”

At that, Ron waved his hand.

“Okay, Rachel added it.”

“Is she?”

“Yes, he even asked me to take good care of Lee.”

“ah… but. She is older than me.”

“Then let me ask you one question.”

“Tell me.”

Ron brushed his short beard and asked, making eye contact.

“How are Lee and Rachel?”

“How are you?”

“I mean the relationship. Are you simply friends? Or have you ever met on a romantic basis?”

“ah… I never expected to hear such a question.”

Harry reacted as if he hadn’t thought of it, but then nodded.

Although they were both of a marriageable age, they both had likable looks.

Ron tilted his head as he leaned against the backrest.

“Are you going to refuse an answer because of privacy?”

“There is no need for that. The two are good colleagues. If you slept in the same room or even kissed… Maybe I should have known first. I spend half of the day with my seniors.”

“So I asked, because I think you would know.”

“Then would that be the answer?”

“Okay, go and get some rest. When Li wakes up, I’ll call them all then.”

“All right.”

After Harry left.

Ron looked over the report he had left on the table.

It was one of the reports that had just come up to him, not long after it had been printed.

It is also a matter related to Kang Tae.

To be precise, it was the result of separately collecting blood and skin tissue from Kang-tae’s foot and examining it.

This was a document I had seen many times before.

It was because various investigation reports had been written since the first time Kang Tae’s ability was confirmed, and since then, he has consistently presented research results for the purpose of health checkups.

Of course, nothing special.

In any study, there was nothing special about the specimens obtained from Kang-tae.

So the report was always the same.

It was no different this time, but I laughed at the opinions of related doctors.

[…] Since the possibility of inheriting must be confirmed, it is targeted at healthy women of childbearing age… … .]

The possibility of pregnancy and heredity had been described before, but this time it was described more clearly and in detail.

That was the reason I just asked Harry.

“I think it would be okay if the two of them continued… … .”

muttered Ron.

It wasn’t because of the relationship between the two or their natural encounter.

It was because Kang-tae was a super soldier, and Rachel was a brilliant genius and a talented person who went through special operations agents in the field.

If the two of them had a child, it would be great even if they weren’t super soldiers.

It was clear that he would become a person who could contribute to the United States.

It was the time when I was about to cover the report after reading it with that thought in mind.

“Myers!”

Andrei appeared.

Dressed in skimpy clothes and with a scrawny unshaven beard.

“You must have been curious about Lee, too, right?”

“you’re right. To be honest, I have no reason to be here other than Lee… … .”

Around the time Andrei continued to speak.

“Looks like you’re only having individual interviews the whole time.”

“hmm? What do you mean?”

“You are the third.”

“So you’re saying there are more people who have come and gone?”

When I asked just in case, Ron said something else.

“Hey, Andrei. You’ve worked with me since your mercenary days… What if I can’t wait a few hours? If you stay silent like Jake… … .”

The moment I continued talking like that.

“I am here.”

Jake revealed a rich golden beard and a huge body with a gruff voice.

“Oh. Jake, you too?”

“I waited long enough. I need to know what Lee is like.”

After those words, Jose also stuck his head out.

“I’m here too… … .”

“Just sit down.”

When Ron gestured excitedly, the three of them sat down.

Seeing them, Ron laughed again.

“her… … .”

Everyone had a tired complexion, but it was because their eyes were shaped and looked lively.

“One comrade is awesome.”

“Of course, how many lives we owe him. Oh, so what happened to Lee? Please explain.”

Jose spoke quickly, and Ron, who had been listening, answered concisely.

“The treatment went well, and I am sleeping soundly. And I was going to see you soon.”

“Thank you, how long will it take to recover?”

When Jake responded with a relaxed face, he added a short comment.

“It’s so fast, that our medics who arrive want his semen.”

“What do you want?!”

Andrei asked with a puzzled face, and Ron answered calmly.

“You mean you want to find out if that ability is inherited. Even stronger than before.”

“ah… … .”

When everyone was speechless, Jake raised another question.

“Then when will you return?”

“If Lee is awake and functioning well, he will leave. It will be around this day or afternoon.”

“You mean by transport? How is the operation going?”

At that, Ron shook his head.

“You don’t have to worry about that. You can come back comfortably with Lee.”

“Then personal armaments… … .”

When Jake asked incredulously, Ron smiled and asked.

“Do you know who the President’s boss is?”

“… … ?”

Around that time, all three of them looked at each other, wanting to know what they were talking about.

The first answer I heard came back.

“The president said, think of him as someone superior to you and escort him safely.”
