Episode 431
I took a deep breath.
... Let’s sort it out.
Bae Se-jin is holding the microphone in the announcement broadcast, and VTIC Ju-dan can be seen on the drone screen.
‘I’m kidding.’
There are 12 minutes left until the collapse.
All the managers and staff are not X-sin idiots, and all of them escaped except for some celebrity.
[DING-DING-]
“The broadcast is over... In the meantime ,
Sejin Bae’s voice disappeared.
‘If so’,
first of all, the person who is continuously confirmed is first attracted quickly. If you parent here, you can lose everything.
I gritted my teeth and looked at the laptop screen.
There is a cast iron... why not
“Where has this guy gone?”
“... ! He probably didn’t go into the room... ?”
Fortunately, the guy appeared on the screen again.
Holding a piece of A4 paper with text on it.
– Are you a survivor inside the building??
It was an attempt at communication.
“omg!”
“There is no function to send voice to this drone, so what should I do... .”
“Control the drone up and down.”
“ah.”
According to Kim Rae-bin’s operation, the drone’s view fluctuates. Then Ju Dan writes a new text on A4 and shows it.
– Looking for an escape route?
Rabin Kim nodded.
“hmm. We’re looking for people, so to be precise, the first thing to do is to say no... .”
“for a moment.”
Can not be done.
“It’s even weirder when a person trapped doesn’t find a way out. Let’s try to find it.”
“indeed!”
I had to start there and move the conversation quickly.
‘I’ll ask if there are any achievements on our side or guess the identity.’
I drew the conversation history in my head, pointing to this guy’s next answer.
In the meantime, the guy who confirmed that the drone was moving up and down again scribbled on the A4 and lifted the completed sentence.
... Words I wasn’t expecting.
-There is an escape route in the staff area in the basement here.
“... ?!”
“Uh uh uh.”
The sentence was not over.
-There is a door leading to the outside, but emergency power comes in and works.
“Then... .”
“Preventing the collapse is important, but securing an escape route is also important as time is running out!”
“Yeah right!”
That’s right. If necessary, the remaining personnel must be sent out.
the problem is... .
‘I have to ask when it’s been working.’
Normally, a building of this size would last for less than an hour even with emergency power, but I don’t know how much time is left.
‘And this guy has a door, so why isn’t he going out?’
one more.
... Usually the door just opens, and you don’t need power.
The guy who was watching the shaking drone writes one more line on the paper in real time.
-However, a staff pass is required.
‘also.’
what was it
I think I found a door for staff that needs a security key to open.
-Please find the staff pass and come to the basement.
The stairs are blocked. this child
I don’t know how it happened that I fell alone and went to the basement, but in the end, only the mission was renewed.
‘... Find the staff card and go to the basement.’
That too.
[00:10:34]
In this hour.
“... ... .”
“I don’t think the staff ID wasn’t there in the editing room earlier... Still, I’ll look for it one more time... !”
“Then I will find a way to go underground... Moondae hyung?”
I put my laptop on the floor.
“Ten minutes left. Both are impossible.”
“... ... .”
“I will use another method.”
“yes?”
There’s nothing you can do about it.
I got up and grabbed the curtain rope I had packed earlier.
* * *
Ju Dan raised his head. From the end of the dark hallway, a bright light shines on you.
[Weiying~]
It was a drone that is now a familiar element in modern disaster apocalypse content.
‘Hoo.’
He rested his chin and nodded. Gradually, the survivors who are isolated in the building are finding their way out in various ways.
Then I’ll have to respond in the traditional way.
He quickly turned around and entered the room.
“I wonder if I can borrow the smartphone my older brother is holding... .”
“... ... .”
No answer.
What did you really expect?
He quickly changed his route and picked up the A4 paper.
-Are you a survivor inside the building?
The drone moves up and down hard. Oh, he was a man who knew how to respond. Ju-dan was interested and gave the information he knew quite sincerely.
‘What I’m looking for is... hmm. That’s a bit overkill.’
You have to live within your means. After shrugging his shoulders, Zhu Dan staggered at the surprising information and suddenly saw the drone that had fallen to the ground.
‘The probability of being surprised and looking for the staff is more than half.’
This was enough to protect his humane duty.
“Hyung, a drone just came and we had a short conversation. It’s not a rescue team, it’s another survivor trapped in this building.”
“okay.”
And there was a party of his own who did not show interest in this singularity.
Facility management room in the basement.
Standing there, Cheong-Ryeo was operating the device with an expressionless expression.
I thought I wouldn’t be able to see CCTV because the power went out, but I turned a few CCTVs on a small screen just before gearco using a portable security device that was charged wirelessly.
“... 8 minutes!”
If you do this, you won’t fall into a panic even after 4 minutes.
I confirmed they were listening and moved my feet.
And I went around several rooms with the flashlight on and looked for the employee ID, but I couldn’t find it either.
It deserves it. Because this is a space used by outsiders.
[00:01:57]
‘There was no employee ID even backstage.’
After all, the space where the staff was located was correct. I had to go to the office space on the second floor on the other side.
But what if there is no road?
‘... I have to make it.’
I turned around and walked to the end of the hallway, estimating the position of the stage.
“... ... Whoa.”
here.
Beyond the wall of this small waiting room is the opposite area. maybe.
“... ... .”
Of course, I don’t have the ability to break down this wall. It might be a more realistic way to clear the front of the emergency stairs below, but... There is no time.
‘If that’s the case.’
Don’t you think like this?
see.
It’s a certainty that the building will collapse soon after targeting me. However, even if the building collapses again, the debris accumulated in the already collapsed place does not disappear.
‘But a good wall can be knocked down... !’
[00:01:03]
I started moving heavy objects around the waiting room in front of the wall.
‘Earlier, the wall fell precisely aiming at me.’
If so, it is likely that this disaster, which was renamed ‘Mission Failure’ because the Big Moon (presumably) found an inconsistency, was more localized and moderate there.
Won’t you kindly inform them that it’s a collapse?
‘Use it in reverse.’
I’ve lived twice, so I’ll do better this time.
Take a deep breath, calm down and prepare.
A countdown has entered.
[00:00:03]
[00:00:02]
[00:00:01]
Pop.
breaking sound.
I’m leaning against the wall
[00:00:00]
Turned sideways.
“... !”
At the same time, the room shakes with a tremendous explosion. And the heavy furniture and iron props piled up in front of me were poured into the seat where I was.
Kiki-kiki-kiki-gwa-gwang!
Even heavy ceiling lights. At the moment of
‘X-foot’,
the regret of having done something crazy... No, shut up. This is all. this is right!
in action!
I rolled onto my side.
“Sigh”
and slipped under the dressing table.
Sharp debris bounces off my cheeks and burns.
Chii-iik-
and the crashing noise and shaking. when it faded a bit.
... Unexpected sounds also start ringing loudly.
“Aaaagh!”
“Mom!”
screams and cries.
“... ... .”
I staggered out from under the dressing table.
All kinds of things were smashed and rolling on the floor. And beyond the half-collapsed wall, light and sound were leaking. walked slowly
Beyond the wall I saw after stepping on the rubble... .
“This person... Mumundae??”
More than ten people were sitting in front of the elevator.
It didn’t end there.
Sounds come from here and there in the hallway, dimly visible from the blinking emergency lights.
“Who are you?”
“What’s going on now?”
“... ... .”
Everyone who wasn’t in the audience was here.
‘what.’
I blinked. And with that shock, a beat late... saw.
[Management Office]
The nameplate on the open door shows an announcement device with a microphone.
And the guy who ran out of there.
“... Moondae Park?”
It was a big Sejin wearing a stage costume.
He looked at me in disbelief, then ran over and grabbed my head with both hands.
It didn’t end there.
“Mundae??”
“what?”
Others come out one by one from beyond the door.
“Moondae hyung!!”
“you... you... !!”
Ryu Cheong-wu rolled up Cha Yu-jin’s arm, whose harness was torn.
And even Bae Se-jin, who was broadcasting earlier.
‘... no.’
It was the worst. It’s like a nightmare that all these guys are left here.
Even so.
I’m damn glad
I struggled to open my mouth.
“... sorry.”
“You crazy crazy bastard... !”
“... ... .”
It’s the first time I’ve heard a big Sejin swear like this. Even in front of the fans.
But he wasn’t angry. The pain in his ribs from hugging him was tolerable.
‘It’s heavy, bastard.’
I paused all the questions and confirmations and accepted the reunion.
But the popup was updating again.
[Unexpected!]
