RUST [RUST]-102

This feels so fucking good?

This is a drug that makes you feel disgusted beyond ominous just by looking at it, but you want me to use it?

Maru stared at the red medicine and then looked at the bodyguard. He was struggling while tied up and saying something. His slurred speech was getting better little by little, but it was hard to understand.

“Hey. Untie me from that thing over there.”

“Yes? Yes.”

The medical team released the bodyguard who had been tied up. As soon as he was released, the bodyguard ran towards the president, hugged him, and shed tears.

“Quickly. Quickly, a cure···.”

Maru listened to the bodyguard’s words and quietly placed the red ampoule and the pink treatment ampoule on the floor.

“What are you doing?”

“As I said last time, I can’t use this red medicine because it makes me feel uncomfortable. So use it or not, it’s up to you.”

Haven’t you experienced that if things are going to get messy in the world, they can get really messy? Like when an earthquake hits and the drugs you’ve hidden in your ribs spill out, or when you barely escape from Japan to Korea and end up back in Japan? Once you get messed up, it’s not like it’s this mess.

If something goes wrong in this situation, whether it’s medicine or something else? Who will take responsibility for that? Maru stepped back.

“I put the red and pink potions here. I don’t know. Do what you want. And you said there were neutralizers and combat potions here? Where are they?”

That was the reason I came to Yamatsuki Shinyaku. To prepare for an unexpected situation, and to bring a neutralizer. It would be good to bring the recipe as well. I think it was called Berserker Fall? There is a neutralizer, so if you bring that, it will be useful.

The bodyguard opened his mouth as he snatched the red ampoule from the floor.

“The laboratory at the end of the left hallway···.”

“···If you go inside the lab, there is a warehouse and there is a refrigerator there.”

“The warehouse password is **99825#.”

Instead of answering, Maru nodded slightly and left the server room. He knew where it was, but it was dirty to get there. Didn’t that mean he had to go through the rats scurrying in the hallway and come back?

Sniff sniff

The smell of tear gas on my clothes had disappeared a lot. I was really worried about going out like this. I had one tear gas canister left, two grenades, and one claymore. It was ambiguous.

Even if I detonated a grenade on my way out, I would have to detonate another grenade on my way back. If the rats came back, I would have to use tear gas.

‘Were the rats sensitive to sound?’

My sense of smell seemed good. I remember how they gathered in an instant at the smell of blood, and how they were in a state of chaos after a tear gas canister was fired. My hearing was also sensitive, as they all ran away when a grenade exploded.

‘If we do it right, there might be a chance···.’

Maru collected cell phones from the people who were groaning with injuries in the control room. Maru was checking the videos stored on the cell phones of the nine people.

“Found it.”

I was hoping for something, but luckily it was there.

What are the natural enemies of rats?

As soon as you hear this question, 9 out of 10 people will answer cat. What Maru was looking for was also a cat video. I remember hearing that there are many Japanese people who like cats, so I looked it up and sure enough, there it was.

“So. You’re saying that you’re going to play the cat’s cry through the hallway speaker?”

Miss Kim looked at Maru with an expression asking if it was true.

“Yes. Since rats have keen hearing, they will run away when they hear the sound of their natural enemy, cats. When the rats run away and run around in confusion, run to the lab as fast as you can, grab what you need, and you’re done. What do you think?”

“Well, do whatever you want.” Ms. Kim nodded.

“Okay. Then, Ms. Kim, please wait here and back me up.”

“Okay.”

Maru approached the central control room door and sent a signal. When Ms. Kim held up her phone to the microphone and played a video, a loud sound came from the speaker mounted on the ceiling.

-Miyaaaaaaaaaaaaaong

-Kiyaaaaaaaah

Right. Maru glanced at the CCTV footage before opening the door. Are the rats running away?

“What is this-”

There was chaos with the rats jumping and running towards the speakers attached to the ceiling. So if we interpret that, does that mean the rats are rushing towards the sound of the cat?

“Are the rats crazy?”

When Maru saw Ms. Kim, Ms. Kim also had a bewildered expression.

The rats, tangled together, rose up like a mountain and managed to reach the speaker. They gnawed at the thin speaker wire mesh with their teeth and eventually destroyed the speaker. In this way, one by one, the speakers on the ceiling began to be torn off.

“Turn it off. Turn it off.”

Ms. Kim turned off the video she was playing. CCTV footage showed a group of rats persistently chewing the part where the speaker was attached, even though there was no sound from the cat.

The rat is not afraid of its natural enemy, the cat, but rather rushes to eat it? The wheels were tough, but the rats were no joke. What on earth did I do to get the wheels and the rats to this point? I don’t know.

There was a sure and safe way to get rid of rats.

The method was to turn off the ventilators and air purifiers that were automatically operating in the control room, and then drop tear gas canisters. This way, even a single tear gas canister would fill the corridor with smoke, so the rats would definitely run away.

The problem is that we don’t know where the escaped rats will go. It would be nice if they just scattered around the lab, but if they ran away completely, there was no answer.

Rats typically have up to 12 babies at a time. The average is around 8, but if they have enough food, they can literally breed like crazy.

And now, outside, there were corpses strewn about that hadn’t been recovered. So, it was an environment where there was plenty of food.

What if such large and vicious rats go out and breed?

“I guess that’s not how it’s done, right?”

“Isn’t it okay?”

Miss Kim isn’t bad, is she? She said with her expression that she would do that. Are you serious?

“If you groom the rat well, it tastes good.”

“······.”

Wait a minute. Why is the conversation suddenly turning to rat meat? Wouldn’t it be more dangerous if those rats escaped and made a mess?

“It’s real. It’s really delicious.”

“······.”

So you’re saying that it’s okay for them to go out and breed? No way?

“It’s big and so···.”

“Okay, I got it. Let’s stop and eat first. I saw some emergency food supplies over there.”

It was Ms. Kim who became quiet at the word rice.

Okay, let’s eat first. Let’s eat first. The Japanese kids have a lot of emergency food stockpiled here and there in preparation for disasters.

We went inside where the server room entrance was to get emergency food supplies. Ms. Kim took the lead with light steps.

Ohhhhhhh!

A scream leaked out from inside the server room. Kim Yang quickly hid herself inside the optical cloak, and at the same time, Maru opened the server room door wide, and the scene unfolded before her eyes.

“Fuck! What did I say!”

“···hey···.”

The bodyguard was in a daze, holding an empty bottle that had once contained a red potion.

“I told you it felt like shit!”

The sight of bubbles bursting and the eyeballs regenerating.

The regenerative power was so excessive that even though the eyeball had already been formed, another eyeball was created inside. After a while, the eyeball that had been formed first was pushed out, and a new eyeball grew inside. The sight of the eyeball being forced out and writhing in pain.

The severed ankle regenerated, and another ankle grew from the gap between the regenerated ankles, and another ankle began to grow from the reconnected area. The flesh that had been torn off here and there was overflowing, not to mention overflowing. A bizarre symptom of flesh flowing out.

The uneasy feeling gradually began to change into a sticky ominous feeling.

As Sreung Maru drew his sword, the bodyguard’s eyes, which had been blankly staring, returned to their original state.

“Why are you drawing your sword?”

“Are you asking because you don’t know why I picked you?”

The body that had been throbbing with pain began to twist and twist. The muscles and tendons writhed as if they were separate living organisms. The bones, unable to withstand the force of contraction and expansion, broke and snapped.

Kujik-

Woodduck

Ughhhhh

The medical staff took a step back when they saw that sight. The bodyguard aimed his gun at the back of the medical staff’s head.

“Get treatment quickly.”

“That. I’ve never seen anything like that.”

The president’s body, which had been struggling in pain, suddenly sagged. The bodyguard who saw this screamed.

“You want to die? Hurry up and do something!!!”

“I don’t know what to do. I don’t know. I’m sorry. Please.”

The sticky, flowing chunks of flesh slowly crawled forward and then suddenly spread out like a blanket, covering the nearby medical staff.

“Ugh, ugh. Save me!”

The man struggled to break free from the mass of flesh that wrapped him like a bundle, but the flesh wrapped around him and dragged him towards the main body.

Chomp!

The flashing blade cut through the flesh. The medical staff inside stumbled out. The exposed parts, such as the hair, face, and the back of the hands, were melted in places.

Eww

Ugh

A man writhing with his half-melted hands covering his face, his bones exposed. The severed bundle rippled and then fell upon the medical staff who were rolling on the floor in pain.

This time, as if determined not to let go, the flesh wrapped around the man and contracted tightly. It squeezed and twisted, squeezing him like a juicer.

Boom-

All of the bones in his body were shattered at once, and blood was seen spurting out from inside his thin flesh like a wrapping cloth. He began to grow in size in real time by absorbing the blood and flesh of his victims.

“Wh- what the fuck.”

The wrist that had regenerated from the severed part of the wrist stretched out like a long tentacle, and a new wrist grew through the gap. The hands attached to the tentacles shook like swaying seaweed.

‘Okay. Let’s try it somewhere.’

The tip of the sword on the floor shook together.

Whirl- Whirl-

The tentacled hand fell to the floor with a ripping sound. Maru took one step at a time, avoiding the flesh on the floor. If he could just crush the head and torso, he would be able to do something.

The bodyguard shouted at Maru, who was walking forward with menacing steps.

“stop!”

Crunch- rustle-

Everything within the blade’s closing range was cut and torn apart. Droplets of blood, chunks of flesh, and tentacles were scattered in all directions, writhing on the floor. The sword’s strokes were getting closer and closer to the main body.

“Stop it!”

The moment the bodyguard’s gun was pointed at the floor, a gunshot muffled by a silencer erupted from one side.

Click! Click!

Bullets were lodged in the guard’s arms and legs. The guard, who had dropped the pistol he was holding, looked at the swaying space. Then, Maru, who had glanced at the moving mass of flesh aiming at the guard who had collapsed on the floor, spoke softly.

“Stop the ventilator and air purifier and throw the tear gas canisters into the hallway.”

“Set the self-destruct device to 15 minutes and wake up the helicopter driver and go out. I’ll grab what I need and go out.”

“Okay.”

The tentacled hands grabbed the bodyguard who was kneeling on the floor and dragged him down. “Don’t do this!” “Come to your senses!” The bodyguard shouted while struggling, but the flesh under the main body wrapped around the bodyguard’s legs.

The moment the tentacles and fleshy masses swung to one side to devour the bodyguard, the floor kicked off. The body that had been floating in the air spun 180 degrees and kicked the ceiling, crashing down onto the main body.

A sword swung in a passing motion.

fast.

With a sound like the air was ripping apart, another severed head was torn off from the air.

Faster.

The piece cut out of thin air was reassembled.

Thud-thud – falling debris

“no!!!”

The bodyguard’s screams, his lower body buried in flesh, echoed hollowly.

and.

The scattered pieces began to melt like ice cream on the flesh that had fallen to the floor. The pieces melted and were absorbed into the flesh.

Gulp – The part of the neck where the head was cut off slowly swelled, and then suddenly, a head sprouted.

One. Two. Three···.
