Chapter 455: Season 2 Book 18 Trans-Siberia – 5-4 The Source of Disaster
“Freeze! Put your hands in the air!”
Corporal Kim Seong-ho, who quickly detoured and reached the front of the suspects, pointed the gun and shouted.
They were crouched against the wall in the midst of doing something but were startled and turned their heads toward Corporal Kim Seong-ho.
“Hey! what are you guys? Don’t move, just put your hands in the air and get up! Private Kwak! If these bastards do anything suspicious, shoot them right away!”
“Yes, all right.”
The suspicious-looking people couldn’t understand Korean but they raised their hands hesitantly and tried to assess the situation.
“Scan them!”
At the instruction of Corporal Kim Seong-ho, Private Kwak Young-hwan changed the vision mode of the shield glasses to scan them.
“Huh! These b*stards have a bomb under their clothes.”
“Bomb?”
“Yeah, They have it on their body. They look like they’re wearing a classic bomber vest. What do we do about this?”
Private Kwak Young-hwan’s voice trembled as if he was nervous. He spent nearly ten days maintaining security here, but when he ran into the bombers, he felt quite uncomfortable.
“What how? We have to subdue it!”
“Then what if they explode it?”
“Don’t say bad things and watch carefully!”
At this time, Sergeant Lee Jin-tae and Yoon Ho-jin, who had detoured to the left, joined them. Sergeant Lee Jin-tae, the division commander, approached with his gun aimed at the suspicious men and asked.
“What is it? Who are these guys!”
“They look like terrorists. I’ve checked them and there’s a bomb vest under their clothes.”
Corporal Kim Seong-ho reported the current situation. At this, Sergeant Lee Jin-tae slowly approached the terrorists and talked about them.
“Ha! Why did they come all the way here to bomb a village as small as this? These b*stards…”
At that moment, one of the bombers, who had his hand in an odd position, held up his top. There were improvised bombs connected to the green vest. Surprised by this, Sergeant Lee Jin-tae stopped walking.
“What is it! Who are these b*stards? Are they trying to blow it up? What are they doing? Sergeant Lee! Let’s just shoot them at the same time and blow them away.”
Corporal Kim Seong-ho shouted, pointing his gun at the face of the man who had his shirt held up. At this, Sergeant Lee Jin-tae hurriedly flashed his palm at Corporal Kim Seong-ho to get him to stop.
“Wa…wait! If you make a mistake, the whole area will be blown away!”
Sergeant Lee Jin-tae turned his gaze to the children playing in the playground across from them. It was the children of this village who had asked for chocolate in the morning. However, if the bomb exploded, the children playing on the playground could be injured.
In the midst of a tense confrontation of silence, the children playing at the playground saw the Korean soldiers and started running, cheering and wondering if they could get chocolate again just like in the morning.
“This is surely f*cked up. Stop the children from coming this way!”
At the direction of Sergeant Lee Jin-tae, Private Yun Ho-jin and Private Kwak Young-hwan quickly ran to the playground to stop the children.
“Give me some chocolate, mister. Give me something to eat.”
“Hey, kids! I’ll go over there and give it to you, so follow me, okay?”
In a hurry, Private Kwak Young-hwan lied and lured the children over the playground to a safe place. Meanwhile, the terrorist, who had exposed the bomb vest he was wearing, glanced over and waved the bomb trigger. Then he slowly started to take a step back. Another man got up from his seat and followed him.
“Don’t move! You motherf*ckers!”
Despite the shouts of Sergeant Lee Jin-tae, the terrorists continued to step back and then split up with one on each side as if they had this all planned.
“Should I shoot them? Sergeant Lee!”
To the words of Corporal Seong-ho Kim who urgently asked, Sergeant Lee Jin-tae responded immediately after confirming that the children were moved away from the danger zone.
“Shoot them! I’ll take the one that went to the left. You take the one on the right!”
The sound of two laser beams firing was heard.
The laser beam shot by Sergeant Lee Jin-tae pierced the head of the fleeing terrorist. However, as soon as Corporal Kim Seong-ho fired the laser, the aiming point was diffused in the sandstorm.
The red laser beam missed the terrorist and went past his earlobe.
“Ah! damn! I missed.”
Corporal Kim Seong-ho, who prided himself on being a special marksman in his own right, failed at the most critical moment, so he started chasing the terrorist who had disappeared behind the wall.
“There’s a school in the direction that bastard is headed to! Somehow, I think that he wants to go there, so you have to stop him before he reaches the school! Otherwise, the students might be in danger!”
Sergeant Lee Jin-tae, who checked the state of the terrorist who had been pierced by the laser from the back of his head right through to his forehead, sent a message with a loud enough deafening noise.
“Yes, I will try to somehow.”
At the same time as he answered, Corporal Kim Seong-ho, who clenched his teeth, looked through the buildings in inverter vision mode and chased the fled terrorist. As Sergeant Lee Jin-tae said, the terrorist was running to the school.
“Btch! The target was the school? To kill the innocent children? That won’t happen. You bstard!”
Corporal Kim Seong-ho, who had secured the back of the terrorist, which he had remembered when he walked around the alley, threw himself up and fired the laser beam continuously.
Corporal Kim Seong-ho, who fired the laser beam until the terrorist had fallen to the floor, got on the ground and tried to fire the laser beam again but he stopped.
The bomber was lying motionless on the side of the road, with its head mangled by the multiple laser beams.
“Phew! Squad Leader! I caught him.”
“Did anyone get hurt?”
“No, I caught him before he reached the school.”
“Okay! I’ll dismantle this bomb vest and be right over, so be sure to dismantle that bomb vest carefully as well!”
“All right.”
After ending the communication, Corporal Kim Seong-ho cautiously approached the terrorist who was lying on the floor. His head was completely disfigured with brain fluid and blood flowing out. Corporal Kim Seong-ho carefully removed the bomb vest that was around him.

December 22, 2023, 15:00 (New China Time 14:00)
Communist Party, Beijing, New China (President’s Office, Conference Room)
Pudi Huqiao, head of the General Equipment Department, which started the development of the plasma bomb, visited the Communist Party headquarters after 10 days and reported the development status of the plasma bomb to President Wang Jing-wi, who was sitting with high-ranking officials in the conference room.
“Good job, good job!”
When President Wang Jing-wi heard the report, he looked satisfied.
“No. Thanks to the generous support of the President, we were able to accomplish this level of achievement within the period.”
Director Pudi Huqiao responded with a humble tone despite such impressive achievements.
“Haha, you did a good job anyway. So when will we see a plasma bomb that can be used in real life?”
“In the next three days, 10 20-kiloton plasma bombs will be completed. However, we can’t guarantee 100 percent performance because we haven’t actually tested it by exploding one. If you give me a little more time, I will complete the development by correcting even the smallest details through an actual explosion test.”
“Well, for that reason, the Russians threw a bunch of tantrums. Yesterday too, Putin called me and spoke like he was crazy. First, 10 20-kiloton bombs will be completed in three days as planned and handed over to the Ministry of National Defense.”
“Yes, all right.”
“Also, would it be possible to develop a plasma bomb with more than 1 megaton of power in the next month or so?”
“That would be difficult, Mr. President!”
“Then how long would that take?”
“I think it will take at least two months or more.”
“At least two months…”
President Wang Jing-wi seemed to think for a moment, and then he spoke.
“Great! The 1-megaton class should be developed gradually, and the production should be increased from the 20-kiloton class. No matter how many people, money, or anything else you might need, I will support you unconditionally.”
“All right.”
Pudi Huqiao, general equipment manager, bowed his head deep enough to touch his floor.
“Director Pudi Huqiao! I will never forget your success. Only now can we get all those damn Koreans out of Northeast Samsung and we can unify China again. Hahaha.”
Upon hearing the news that he had completed the development of the plasma bomb, President Wang Jing-wi laughed out so loud as if he had everything in the world.
However, as happy as President Wang Jing-wi was, Director Pudi Huqiao’s expression darkened. He was running out of time. Even if he could complete the 20-kiloton class plasma bomb, even he, who was in charge of development, could not guarantee the performance of the plasma bomb. In a word, it was like an unfinished bomb that could not be inspected.
In the past, there were Chinese products that were praised with ridicule, saying that there was a mistake in the continent it was made in because of its superior quality. However, plasma bombs were not general products. Among cutting-edge technologies, it was not a weapon that could show off its innovative performance unless it functioned flawlessly.
Director Pudi Huqiao, who hid this uncomfortable fact and reported that he had developed and completed a plasma bomb that was unfinished for the moment, felt like he was sitting on a thorn bush. At this, he looked at him and said.
“Sir! Now that I have completed the report, I would like to return to the General Equipment Department. There are still a lot of things that I need to check.”
“Ah! Right! Right! I’m sorry. I can’t keep you busy like this! Go ahead and continue what you are doing.”
“Then I will go back.”
When Director Pudi Huqiao left, President Wang Jing-wi rose from his seat, placed both hands on the long meeting table, and spoke loudly as if in a speech.
“As long as our new country has 10 plasma bombs that surpass nuclear bombs! I think it is time to make up for the defeat of the last Sino-Korean War, as well as the restoration of Northeast Samsung. In response, Minister of National Defense Jang Ye-Heung established and reported an operational plan that included not just Dongbei but also an invasion of the Korean Peninsula, and Foreign Minister Li Bao Dung has immediately contacted Russia to tell them that the new China offensive against Northeast Samsung will continue.”
“Yes, all right, Mr. President.”
“Yes, Mr. President.”
When the two managers bowed their heads and answered, President Wang Jing-wi addressed the meeting room in a firmer tone.
“After destroying Korea, our new country will achieve continental unification once again. Should we not betray the money-blind Eastern Republic or our communist regime and annihilate the democratic Republic of China?”
“Yes, Mr. President!”
“That’s wise of you, Mr. President.”
“Unification of China and the Unification of New China.”
High-ranking officials each shouted flattering remarks and clapped their hands.

December 23rd, 2023, 18:20 (Thailand time 16:20)
Suvarnabhumi Airport, Bangkok, Thailand
A man with short hair and dark sunglasses walked to the immigration desk, secretly looking around. He was Shin Baiqing, the former captain of the Black Tigers Corp.
After transferring the money he received from President Wang Jing-wi in the name of severance pay and all the money he had accumulated so far into a Swiss account, Shin Baiqing, who had been secretly hiding in Bangkok, the capital of Thailand, caught a flight from Suvarnabhumi airport to Paris last night with a fake ID. He had just passed through immigration.
“Chief! Target Tori! He has just passed through immigration.”
“Okay! Great job. Everyone withdraw! After this, another team in Paris will take care of it.”
“Yes, all right. Then we will be going back to Beijing.”
After a brief conversation behind the pillar, the man gestured to the other subordinates in the vicinity to withdraw.
This man is Chief Ryujin of Team 12 of the Black Tiger Corps, one of the henchmen of General Diao Yi-nan, who had been secretly following and monitoring Shin Baiqing with his men all the way from New China to Suvarnabhumi Airport in Bangkok..
