"Fire!"
Everyone took a torch from the firecracker and waved it for them to be seen.
"Over here!"
"Please help!"
They screamed at the top of their lungs, hoping that they would be heard and that they can finally be saved.
On-jo just stayed next to the fire. She didn't want to keep her hopes up knowing that they abandoned them back then.
"On-jo, is something wrong?" Na-yeon asked.
She shook her head and showed a faint smile, "Nothing. You should go with them."
"Okay!" And with that, Na-yeon left.
They laughed and screamed in joy as the chopper approached them.
Two soldiers came down through a rope. They had guns in their hands and aimed them at the others who tried to come closer.
"Get down! All of you!"
Dae-su raised his hands, "Sir, can you please save us?"
"Facedown on the ground! Get down!"
Everyone laid on the floor, waiting while the soldiers reported their findings.
"Checking temperature now!"
A soldier approached each of them to check their temperature with the thermal scanner.
"I think they're checking if we're zombies," Cheong-san who was next to On-jo, said, "Don't worry."
"One has hypothermia. The rest are normal," he announced, "We'll rescue after the mission's complete. Over."
"It's okay. They're gonna rescue us. It's over now," Cheong-san reassured.
They were allowed to get up after.
"Are you the only survivors?"
Ms. Park answered, "We don't really know. There are probably others."
"We're going down for a few minutes. Wait right here."
Ji-min stepped up, "Aren't you going to rescue us?"
"Yes, we will. So don't go anywhere. Don't do anything. Just wait here. Understand?"
"Yes," they said all together.
The soldiers went down and gunfire sounds boomed below.
"Are they gonna kill all the zombies before they take us?" Dae-su asked.
Joon-yeong replied," I don't think so. There's only four of them."
"But they're Special Mission, right?"
"Are they looking for something? The Science Lab?"
They went back to the rooftop soon after with a suitcase at hand.
"We'll pull you up one at a time so stay still even if you're scared," the soldier told them.
"You're not landing the chopper?"
"We can't. It can get unstable. He's gonna pull you up, so don't worry," he comforted.
"You can't go all at once, so let's go one by one."
"You can't take all of us?" Cheong-san asked alarmingly.
"We can take all of you, but it has to be one by one."
On-jo held Ji-min and Na-yeon's hands, "You two can go first."
"You go first!" Woo-jin lightly pushed Ji-min to the soldiers.
