[A monster is expected to appear at Seoul station. All employees evacuate to a shelter.]
The sudden broadcast made the new employees nervous, and Junhyuk turned to them. Before he had a chance to say something to them, the whole building shook. They got more nervous, and Junhyuk looked at each of them. Of all of them, only Tsubasa looked relaxed.
"Don't panic. The quake just now was caused by the deployment of the iron soldier."
"Really?"
"We have two iron soldiers stationed here. Even if something were to happen, we would be safe. Follow me."
Junhyuk knew he could protect himself from any situation and was very relaxed. His demeanor made the others feel less nervous.
He guided them to the basement shelter. The shelter had been made by repurposing the basement parking lot and covering it with steel on all sides. Junhyuk entered and saw that the others were already there.
Everyone in the building was now inside the shelter. They could sit and watch things unfold on a large TV screen. Junhyuk knew that the image feed was coming from the iron soldier's perspective, and his eyes gleamed.
He was wondering if it was a good idea to show them the battle. Then, Dohee came out from a room inside the shelter and called for him.
"Mr. Junhyuk Lee. Please, come this way for a moment."
He entered the room and saw Elise, Eunseo and Sora. Sora saw him and waved at him gladly. He bowed slightly to her, and Eunseo offered him a seat.
"Just in case, there is another iron soldier preparing for deployment."
"That's a relief, but are you expecting the appearance of a monster?"
"Correct," Elise said proudly. "We invented a machine that can predict when monsters will appear."
"Is that even possible?"
"How we made it is a secret, but it's possible."
"With what kind of delay can you make the prediction?"
"Right now, within three minutes."
The iron solder was flying over Seoul, broadcasting a message.
[A monster is expected to appear at Seoul station. Evacuate the area immediately.]
People moved quickly. They knew about the iron soldiers and trusted them. They all believed what it said and ran fast. People thought of monsters as things that massacred people, and they all were busy fleeing. Seoul station was evacuated, and the image in the feed descended as the iron soldier landed.
Elise, who was looking at her computer, said, "We have three seconds."
Junhyuk thought the machine was more precise than he had given credit. The iron raised its head, and the sky turned dark. Ten huge bats appeared.
They were just like the one Jeffrey owned, and Junhyuk grimaced. If even one of those got away, there would be huge repercussions.
The iron soldier's back opened, and missiles shot into the sky. The bats opened their mouths as the missiles approached and released supersonic waves at them.
Boom, boom, boom, boom!
The missiles exploded in the air, and the iron soldier raised both of its hands. From there, a spray of bullets shot out in the direction of the bats.
Their wings were shredded, and Junhyuk was left astonished.
"What happened?"
Elise smiled and said, "The recently hired scientists coated the bullets in the monster decomposition liquid. It renders the monsters' defenses useless."
There was a limit to how many missiles the iron soldier could use, but it had a lot more bullets. The iron soldier fired like he was trying to make Swiss cheese out of the bats, and some of the bats fell from the sky.
Five bats had fallen, and the others counterattacked. They flew in, releasing supersonic waves. Three bats attacked the iron soldier. One bat flew toward Seoul station, and the other flew toward Namdaemun, Seoul's South Gate.
The iron soldier flew up, cracking the ground underneath, shooting and killing the three approaching bats. Then, it chased after the one that had gone to Seoul station.
The bat released supersonic waves at the station's shrine, shattering the glass surrounding it.
