Moon Byeong-ho and Kim Geon were soaring across the skies over the northernmost frontlines of Pocheon and Cheorwon, carrying out a special mission assigned to them by Kim Jae-hyun.

From atop a crow’s back, Moon Byeong-ho scanned the ground below and asked,

"What’s that place?"

"…Just a regular village."

Their mission was to secure ammunition from military bases.

Of course, if the goal was purely to stockpile ammunition, it would have been far more efficient to search rear-echelon storage depots instead of the front lines, but that task had already been assigned to others.

Even locating military bases was not as easy as it seemed.

Despite being on the frontlines, these areas were still inhabited, with farms, villages, and settlements scattered throughout.@@novelbin@@

"I never thought so many people would still be living in the front line regions."

"…Yeah, same here."

It turned out that simply flying over the landscape wasn’t enough to pinpoint military bases.

Both of them had served in rear-area units, meaning they had little to no knowledge of the front-line military installations.

But—

"…Found one."

That didn’t mean it was impossible.

The distinctive barracks, the wide parade ground, and the military vehicles camouflaged in the so-called 'frog pattern'—all of these uniquely military features made it easy to identify a base.

For Kim Geon, who possessed superhuman eyesight, recognizing these details from the sky was second nature.

However—

"…Looks like another dud."

There was one consistent issue they kept encountering at every base.

At the center of each military base lay a massive crater.

From the air, it looked as if a meteorite had struck, making it easy to spot from a distance.

Which likely meant—

"Another explosion?"

It was highly probable that those sites had once been ammunition depots.

The traces of a massive detonation were clear.

If an ammunition storage facility suffered a major impact, it would result in exactly this kind of destruction.
