Chapter 26
‘I should stop by Shim Young-jin’s place on the way.’
Leaving the commander’s office, Dojae headed toward the 2nd Platoon’s tent.
Kim Hwan-soo’s explanation for why the operation area had to be changed was somewhat lacking, and a handover was also necessary.
He figured he could get the exact reason by talking it over during the process.
Tap tap tap tap tap.
‘Healer?’
A man was running at high speed.
A cross-shaped patch is affixed to his forearm.
A red cross with a different aspect ratio than the 十 character for ‘ten’.
It clearly signifies a healer.
The patch on his opposite forearm also bore an unfamiliar unit insignia. Why was a healer from another unit rushing so urgently?
‘Towards the 2nd Platoon barracks?’
The direction the other unit’s healer was heading was toward the 2nd Platoon barracks, where Dojae was headed.
On a hunch, Dojae hurried after the healer toward the barracks.
“Kkeeeeeuh…”
“Kchut.”
“Aaargh!”
For a moment, Dojae thought he’d entered an undead dungeon.
That’s how much the 2nd Squad barracks resembled a living hell.
“Healer! Please start with this side!”
“This is more urgent! Please treat this one first!”
Everywhere, there were people bleeding so profusely they soaked their beds, people with one arm cleanly severed, people wrapped head to toe in bandages—not a single person was unharmed.
A scene of utter horror.
The barracks for Squad 2 and Squad 3 were at opposite ends, so we had no idea this was happening.
