Debut or Die

Chapter 431

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.

Usually idols have never done it and have no way to know how to do it.

‘Those things must be the experience accumulated while returning.’

Judan concluded that he might have lived as a murderer under pressure at least once in his many lives, so he should be polite in the future.

Whether he does it or not, Cheong-Ryeo quickly turns over the CCTV with mechanical hand movements.

The screen is dark because the lights do not come on and then the screen again.

“… … .”

and then.

“ah.”

there is.

Cheong-Ryeo checked the In-Young she was looking for through the open wall of the emergency stairway on the second floor, illuminated by the light of the light stick.

Moondae Park.

Right after that, he confirmed without a slight movement that the entire furnishings room where Park Mundae was located collapsed.

“… … .”

He found that his reasoning based on experience was surprisingly accurate.

There was no particular joy.

It’s just confirming what I already knew.

It was on the collapsed stage that the furnishing room was poured. There is no CCTV because it is originally caught with broadcasting equipment. So it was impossible to check here.

Although there were no bloodstains when I checked with the naked eye earlier… It may have been buried under it.

“… … .”

Chung-rye lowered her hand.

I knew that I could check the audience seats around me with the remaining battery.

But I felt rejected.

because… .

‘Because it’s quiet.’

If Moondae Park had lived, irrational disasters would still have to be poured out.

But being quiet… It means it’s over.

“… … .”

‘Why do I have to confirm that this guess is also correct?’

Cheong-rye looked down at the equipment without expression.

And the silk fabric was also watching it. a bit far-fetched

“… ?”

Does that brother even have flashbacks?

It was then.

Kiki Kiki Kiki Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwang!

“… !!”

Above your head, no further away… Somewhere upstairs, a tremendous vibration and noise struck down and hit the basement.

It was the third collapse.

“Ugh!”

Things fall and shake everywhere.

Zhu Dan thought as he immediately got under the desk to protect his head.

‘Is it a double line?’

The role of giving good information to the main characters who flew the drone and dying when they come to the basement.

‘That’s troublesome.’

He made up his mind to be fully prepared, and conscientiously raised his head to see the party.

And I was surprised.

“… !”

Cheong-Ri… was smiling faintly.

It was even unrealistic to see them standing still and smiling amidst shaking equipment and flickering lights.

‘… Do you feel the sense that you are alive in danger?’

It was a guess.

And amidst the roar and collapse, the murmur of the young woman was heard.

“Shall we go find it?”

* * *

8 minutes before collapse.

“Are you dumb?”

“for a moment.”

I returned to the collapsed stage and carefully climbed back onto it.

‘The place we came down earlier.’

And I looked around the structure of this place, including the stage.

The second floor area is divided into right and left halves in the shape of a ‘U’ because of the stage that occupies the space in the middle.

‘The one we fell on using the curtain as a rope is the waiting room area on the right.’

A collapsed wall was visible on the right.

And the second floor on the other side is an office area used by broadcasting staff and officials.

A place where you can go upstairs. but nowhere to go.

‘After’

I caught my breath and turned my head to the two guys.

“I have a favor.”

“What… ?”

“I need to go up there again, can you help me?”

“… !”

When he said he would go back to the waiting room hallway, he clearly looked embarrassed.

“I’m trying to find a staff ID… going to be?”

“Similar. But there is no time to explain.”

I said quickly.

“If I go… … .”

“I don’t have time to explain how to find it. Hurry up!”

Seon Ah-hyun bit her lip. He looked like he would shout no sooner, but he soon nodded with a firm face.

“Ah Okay. … I believe in it.”

“… … okay.”

Damn.

I turned around and tied the curtain rope around my waist so I wouldn’t needlessly shed my guilt.

If you hang it in the middle and go up, even if you stumble, you won’t die, and if you go up all the way and tie one side to the wall, you’ll be able to catch these guys later.

“You have to lean in… !”

“You have to be comfortable!”

“okay.”

I grabbed the two of them’ thighs and shoulders and ran, reaching into the air.

‘Caught… !’

done.

After grabbing the rebar, I raised my other hand on the second floor floor with arm strength and recoil.

The ship crashes roughly into the broken concrete.

snap.

‘Damn it’

hurts so bad. But the important thing is… .

‘It means you’ve arrived… !’

“Huh.”

After I climbed onto the floor of the second floor as if rolling over. I untied the curtain rope from my waist. A cry was heard from below.

“Gwa are you okay?!”

“uh! It’s sharp and dangerous, so get away from the stage and go to the center pillar, I’ll call you when it’s over!”

“All right! How many minutes do you have left?”

[00:04:31]

“… 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!]
