Regressor’s Life After Retirement

—————————————

[ Of course! ]

“Ugh….”

Daein came to his senses. I groaned from the pounding headache and slowly opened my eyes.

And screamed.

“100 million!”

“manager!”

“older brother!”

The sight of two large men crying and looking down at themselves was closer to a horror movie.

Wang Guho and Minjae embraced Daein, who had woken up.

“Team leader is awake!”

“It’s me, brother! Hehehe! “How long has it been since this?”

The large man, caught between two large men, struggled like an elementary school student caught between a conflicted mother and father on the day of the entrance ceremony.

“Oops! You bastards. “You guys decided to kill me…!”

“I’m the team leader!”

“I’m your brother!”

The time when Daein escaped from between the two muscle lumps was after turning their eyes into chestnuts one by one.

“Whoa… so where is this?”

The great man looked around. Under the dim lighting, mattresses were piled close together and injured people were lying and moaning.

‘people?’

The fever in his body subsided and his vision became clearer. He felt that his physical condition was much better than before he lost consciousness.

Wang Guho answered Daein’s question.

“It’s a shelter. There are still survivors in Busan….”

“Survivors?”

Wang Guhao nodded heavily.

“yes. There are more survivors than you think. “Thanks to the help of the people here, our entire team was able to stay safe.”

Minjae received those words.

“It was thanks to the help of the people here that I found my brother…”

It was then. An unfamiliar voice joined their conversation.

“I’m sorry while we’re talking.”

The three people turned their heads in the direction from which the voice came. I saw a tall woman in military uniform standing there.

The woman bowed lightly to the great man. A face with sharp eyes and refreshing lines without makeup. He looked very tired, as if he hadn’t slept well.

“I know it’s rude to the patient who still needs stability, but our situation is urgent, so I’d like to talk to you right away.”

“it’s okay.”

The great man nodded obediently. After all, he was the benefactor who saved me.

Besides, the great man knew that face.

Later, she became one of the most famous superhumans from Busan.

She walked over to Daein and shook his hand.

“Nice to meet you. This is Lieutenant Joo Da-hye of the Gate Special Forces. “He is in charge of Shelter No. 13.”

“Thank you for your help. “I am the deputy landlord of the Whitehouse Guild.”

Joo Da-hye spoke with a businesslike smile that did not deviate from politeness.

“I heard a lot from you two. “Are you feeling okay?”

The firm tone and upright posture typical of soldiers. The palms held together were harder than those of most superhumans. It meant that he had trained to a considerable level.

‘Crusader Judark. Owner of the rare attribute [Divine Power].’

Daein, who remembered her nickname and information, nodded and answered.

“Thank you. “Thank you for saving me.”

“I was lucky. “He was within the reconnaissance area of our shelter, and Wang Gu-ho was doing rescue work nearby, so we were able to contact him right away and move.”

“Rescue work?”

When Daein turned around and asked, Wang Guhao scratched his head as if he was embarrassed.

“I was helping to find citizens who might still be alive in the city.”

The great man clicked his tongue lightly.

‘I wonder if someone is a fanatic. Were you doing volunteer work here?’

…But this time, his bravado saved him.

So Daein decided not to say anything. He said to Joo Da-hye.

“I’ve just woken up so I’m a little out of my wits.”

“I understand. “I’ll just ask you a few quick questions…”

“Just a moment before that.”

Daein got up from the bed and checked his body condition. Wang Guhao was startled and tried to support him.

“manager! “If you move already…”

“It’s okay.”

There were no special injuries and the poison was treated. The internal strength had also sufficiently recovered. Clothes and equipment were also stored well on one side.

“Can you please explain what the situation is here now?”

Joo Da-hye stiffened her expression and answered.

“Then let me explain it as briefly as possible.”

After a while, Daein was able to roughly understand the situation here.

‘There are a lot more survivors in the city than we thought. Moreover, there are superhumans and armed troops.’

Although Busan suffered devastating damage from the zombie army, some of Busan’s civilian superhuman army succeeded in escaping to an underground shelter.

They said that they are currently preparing a counterattack by establishing a communication network between underground resistance group shelters.

The great man asked.

“How long has it been like this?”

“Today is the 9th day since the situation occurred. After the fog spread over the city, all communication and electronic devices stopped working. Additionally, zombies blocked all roads leading out, making it difficult to ask for help from outside. But…”

Daein cut her off.

“I arrived just in time. So, didn’t you come here after finding out that Team 7 was missing?”

“…That’s right.”

Daein seemed to know what Joo Dahye was curious about.

“Are you curious about Seoul’s response?”

“yes. That’s right.”

Joo Da-hye nodded with a stern expression. Her voice trembled slightly.

“Do you know how much the government understands about this situation, whether there are plans to send reinforcements, and if so, when they will arrive?”

“…….”

Instead of answering, Daein looked around.

All the refugees in the shelter were waiting for his answer.

A very sincere positive answer.

“To conclude, reinforcements from Seoul will not arrive very quickly.”

iced coffee-.

Sighs erupted from all directions. Someone cursed in a low voice and some voices were heard crying.

The great man continued speaking in a calm voice.

“It is true that the government was aware of the situation in Busan due to the disappearance of Team 7. “The formation of reinforcements should have been completed by now.”

That was the story Daein heard directly from Baek Changsu before leaving Seoul.

“But it will take at least a week for reinforcements sent from Seoul to arrive here.”

People’s reactions to Daein’s words were divided into two.

Still, some are relieved that reinforcements are coming and others think they are too late.

Joo Da-hye was closer to the latter. Her expression was very dark.

‘One week. I wonder how long the citizens will be able to endure until then….’

Most of the surviving shelters, including the 13 shelters here, have long since exceeded their capacity.

Food and water reserves were quickly running out, and medical support for the injured was severely lacking.

‘…we must consider that the condition of quarantined infected people will worsen.’

As a soldier protecting the country and the people,

and as the person in charge of Shelter 13,

Joo Da-hye had never felt so helpless.

She thought about her father, who passed away a few days ago. I haven’t even been able to hold my father’s funeral yet.

‘father. ‘Am I doing well?’

Joo Da-hye was born and raised by her father, who was a soldier. From a young age, her dream was to become a great soldier like her father.

Fortunately, I inherited good physical condition from my parents and worked hard to become an officer.

-And then the First Gate occurred and she awakened as a superhuman.

However, the original mission of the soldier did not change.

Devotion to the country and its people. However, the enemy changed from humans to monsters.

‘I always tried to do my best.’

Assigned to the newly established gate task force, she achieved many feats while fighting monsters and entering the gate.

There were many times when I almost died for that. There were quite a few scars left on the body. But I have never regretted becoming a soldier.

‘I still don’t regret it, but… this is too heavy.’

There was a difference between simply fighting the enemy and being responsible for the lives and deaths of countless people.

A sense of responsibility so great that it made her body shake weighed down on Joo Da-hye’s shoulders. However, Joo Da-hye showed a firm expression as usual.

“All right. Thank you for your cooperation.”

She looked around at the anxious citizens. It was harder to find people without injuries on their bodies.

Joo Da-hye spoke with strength in her voice.

“everyone. Do not worry.”

If you are shaken, all these people will be shaken too. Therefore, Joo Da-hye straightened her back and stood upright.

“We have enough food and water until reinforcements arrive.”

Relief spread across people’s faces at Joo Da-hye’s lie. She decided to be satisfied with that for now.

It was a while later that Daein came to visit her separately.

“Lieutenant.

“yes. “Please speak.”

“If you don’t mind, let’s talk.”

“What kind of story…?”

Joo Da-hye did not know.

The fact that the man in front of me was called a savior in some world until a few days ago.

Even if I had known, it wouldn’t have made much of a difference in her reaction.

“I think we can save Busan if Lieutenant Joo helps me.”

“…yes? “Did I hear you wrong?”

“I can’t hear it. “I heard everything.”

Even if it was a lie, it was a story I wanted to hear.

Joo Da-hye looked straight at Dae-in and said.

“Could you tell me more?”

“What do you like so much?”

“lol.”

Daein followed from the side and looked at Wang Guhao, who was flustered, with a pitiful face.

“I really heard that the team leader has returned. I think everything will be fine now.”

“Don’t you know that I was promoted to vice president? “You’re the leader of Team 7, man.”

“It’s stuck in your mouth…”

Wang Guhao smiled awkwardly and scratched the back of his head. Daein clicked his tongue at the still brazen look.

“Has Sirutteok left?”

“yes. It flew right away just now. “I’ll go to Lily first.”

Because Minjae had the rare ability to fly, he was used as a messenger between shelters scattered throughout the city.

[Si-Balaam Subjugation Operation]

His flying ability was expected to be put to good use in this operation, loosely named by Daein.

“First, we need to meet with the people in charge of the shelter. “Bring the little boy here too.”

“As expected, since the team leader is here, everything is resolved easily.”

The great man looked at Wang Guhao with an expression of bewilderment.

“It hasn’t even started yet, so how can it be resolved?”

“It will work out somehow. haha.”

Isn’t this what happened to your head?

Wang Guho was a great man whose mental state was questionable.

‘Tsk tsk. ‘Did the kid get hit on the field so much that he got a head injury?’

“Hehehe.”

The two were on their way to meet Team 7. The shelter was divided into several areas and Team 7 was in the area where the vehicles were gathered.

After a while,

“Team leader!”

“Vice President!”

“Landlord!”

The titles for one person were mixed up, and employees from 7 teams came rushing in and surrounded the person.

“I was worried. Are you okay?”

“Hey. “The team leader is getting cooler!”

“I wanted to go see it. “I couldn’t go because they said only two people were allowed to visit.”

Starting with the three siblings of the support team, Cheon Il-nam, Cheon I-nam, and Cheon Seol-ah, the team leader said,

“…It’s nice to see each other after a long time.”

Driver Park Young-bae, who still has an attractive good-natured smile, and

“Landlord!” “Landlord!” “

Nice to meet you

! “This is Ahn Jae-hyeon!”

“nice to see you! “This is Hanna Kim!”

“nice to see you! “This is Woo Min-seok!”

Even the quick greetings of Team 7’s new superhumans, whom I’m seeing for the first time – in this life -.

There were so many people talking to him that Daein was almost out of his mind for a while.

“yes yes. It’s been a while, everyone. Nice to meet you new beginners. “I’m glad that no one appears to have been seriously injured.”

The great man looked around at the people surrounding him.

Although I have now stepped down from my position as Team 7 leader, I felt relieved when I confirmed that all the familiar faces were safe.

“Everyone comes from far away and suffers. But…”

Daein paused for a moment and everyone waited for him to continue.

“Wouldn’t it be a shame to come this far and just go back?”

Some people already had smiles on their faces. He had already guessed what Daein was going to say.

just as expected.

“Since we came all the way to Busan, we have to see the beach. “Get rid of the zombies that are bothering you.”

He casually said something incredible and said,

“I would like to go up to the building that looks like the devil’s castle.” “The view there is amazing.”

A being that makes it happen without any thought.

“Let’s all have a barbecue there together.”

The landlord that Team 7 knew was that kind of person.

“And when we go back, we have to load up the trunk with loot. “Isn’t that right?”

The moment Daein finished his speech with a grin, the WH-7 team was so full of morale that they shouted in unison.

““Of course!””

Lily looked at the [Guardian’s Bracelet] that had broken into two pieces with a devastated face.

“It’s broken….”
