RUST -110

Near Hiroshima.

Flames from the helicopter landing pad and the burning of the napalm-struck area lit up the surrounding area. Considering the small surface-to-air missiles that had been launched from the city, it was possible that the Chinook had crashed into the ground mid-takeoff due to more than just worn-out parts and poor maintenance.

The last place where Executive Director Choi refueled before heading to Tokyo was at an airfield near Hiroshima. But the fact that enemies armed with surface-to-air missiles were lying in wait here meant something obvious.

‘The route that Executive Director Choi took was leaked.’

Did they just read the tracks? Did they blow up the helicopter carrying napalm and white phosphorus bombs among the five helicopters?

The situation began to reconstruct in Director Yu’s mind. Why did the Chinook, which had flown all the way to Japan without any problems, suddenly crash? In the worst case scenario, it could have been connected to the reason General Min had diverted the supplies he had planned to send.

Is it possible that President Cho and General Min joined hands? Even though they were always biting and swearing at each other, they would not hesitate to join hands if there was something they wanted to get rid of.

If you look at what President Cho did with the red medicine last time, he became a piglet. General Min was a pig from the beginning, that’s why he’s like that.

‘I told you to send only one company, but there was a separate reason why you said you would send two companies.’

Director Yoo snorted.

‘You guys are being really annoying. You guys are looking at each other like that and you’re like, “This is what you do when you look at each other like, ‘Animal Farm.’”

Well, by the way, who are these guys who prepared such a huge feast?

‘Where are the kids? Let’s go and take a look at the waiting list.’

Director Yoo took the lead, leaving his employees behind. He walked with calm steps. It was as if he was taking a walk.

As I entered the store inside the baseball stadium, a black head was slightly revealed. What I saw and Director Yu’s arm moved at the same time. A Colt Python spitting fire from its waist.

Tata Tang!!!

The rapid fire single action shot instantly shattered three heads. It was a shot that hit the head that was slightly protruding.

Dadadak

As Director Yoo, who had been walking slowly, suddenly ran out, the men hidden behind the stalls began firing their rifles. 7.62mm bullets began to make holes in the cement pillars.

“grenade!”

Director Yoo, who was about to break the news, threw a flash grenade and a hand grenade behind the stall at the same time.

Flash! Kwaaaaang!!!

Enemies who were momentarily blinded by the flashbang grenade that exploded in the air behind the stall opened fire in all directions.

A grenade exploded after that. A hail of blood poured out as the grenade exploded in the air.

Traces of human presence were scattered everywhere.

Tata Tang!

The moment Director Yoo’s Colt Python was about to explode, two people hiding in the corner wiped the floor with their exploded heads.

Sergeant Park was shocked to see the rapid fire that was hard to see even in movies. It didn’t even take a second for them to draw their guns and fire. It was literally in the blink of an eye.

What was most absurd was that she had timed the grenade so that it would explode in midair. Even though it had a 5-second delay fuse, she was still holding it and throwing it. What kind of crazy thing was that?

Director Yoo grabbed a survivor writhing behind the stall, took off his mask, and pointed his gun at Sergeant Park.

“Look. Just look at it. Are they Chinese kids?”

“······.”

Are you a physiognomist? How can you tell just by looking at a face? Sergeant Park shook his head, saying he didn’t know.

Thud- the cartridge fell to the floor. Director Yu, who had loaded the speed loader with bullets, spun the cylinder.

“Looking at the table, it’s China. They like to change the kids’ numbers, but these kids don’t change.”

bang-

Director Yoo shot the head without asking any questions. Blood splattered everywhere.

“No- you have to find out where it came from and then shoot it, if you just shoot it···”

“Shhh! Be quiet.”

Director Yoo, who had calmly turned the body over with his feet, nodded. He was told to search the body. Sergeant Park bent down and searched his pockets.

“What is this?”

What Sergeant Park was holding in his hand was an ampoule syringe. An ampoule containing a translucent drug. Director Yoo nodded.

“It’s probably the battle stimulant that the Charlotte kids use… or maybe it’s some Chinese kid medicine made by Crystal. Give it to me.”

Kkaaaak

Huhuhuhu

When I injected an ampoule into the neck of a man who was struggling with grenade fragments embedded all over his body, the effect was immediate. The injured man, who had been writhing in pain, rushed forward, foaming at the mouth as if nothing had happened.

bang!

puck-

A gunshot rang out, followed by a dull thud as the head exploded. Blood and brain fragments scattered everywhere. Director Yu nodded again, signaling for the corpses and wounded to be searched. Sergeant Park swore.

“Fuck.”

At the sight of Director Yoo, who seemed to have heard the curse or not, Sergeant Park shut his mouth and began to search through the body.

One to two pills come out of each corpse. Director Yoo, who seemed to be about to run out, sat down on the stand chair and took out his communicator as he spoke.

“Okay. Then let’s see.”

[Chijik – Searching the napalm bombing area.]

“What is the damage situation?”

[3 minor injuries, 1 serious injury, no deaths.]

“good.

[The fire is spreading rapidly into nearby areas.]

“Is there any disruption to the operation?”

[···doesn’t exist.]

“One. The enemy is likely to be using tactical drugs. Shoot them in the head and confirm the kill.”

“Two. Go immediately to where the 2nd Platoon is fighting, surround it, and attack. That’s it.”

[Confirmed kill, encirclement attack. Confirmed.]

[Chick- Local police and vigilantes are coming out around the fire zone. What should we do?]

“What did you do in Afghanistan and Iraq? Do as you did. Keep quiet.”

[···All right.]

The napalm bombing had no major problems, so other units were able to control the surrounding area. There were some frictions with the vigilantes and local police, but they were dealt with in the Afghan style to avoid any trouble.

They showed us how to openly bomb the area with napalm and search the surrounding area to wipe out the seeds, so most people won’t touch them.

If there was a weakness, it was that they were constantly attacked by missiles, and since Executive Director Choi’s route had been revealed, they had to avoid it by the shortest route. The problem was that if they avoided the shortest route, they would inevitably have fuel problems. Director Yu’s eyes turned south. His gaze stopped at a large hospital in southern Tokyo.

‘I said it was a stolen hospital. It had a helipad and plenty of fuel.’

There were also casualties, so it would have been good to use that as a base.

“Start clearing the scene. Head to the stolen hospital as quickly as possible.”

If you don’t go straight to Tokyo and instead take off in the middle, what will the 1st Platoon following you do? Will they come to the Donohue Hospital? Or will they go straight to Tokyo?

‘I’m going to Tokyo.’

I’ll try to find the information first, so go ahead and clear the way this time.

Choaaaah

Ki-soon poked the part of the bow where the water was splashing with a long pole. The feeling of it not going in smoothly but rather being rough and bumpy was transmitted to his hand through the pole.

Kuk kuk – When I poked around, the part that was stuck tightly seemed to be crying a little. It wasn’t hard, but rather felt like something had worn away and become thin?

“How is it?”

“Sure, things are all stuck together.”

“What’s stuck?”

“They’re like barnacles, but they’re huge. They can range from the size of a fist to bigger.”

Maru said with a puzzled expression.

“What’s strange? It hasn’t even been two weeks since I’ve been on this ship.”

“yes.”

“Do barnacles actually form this quickly?”

“I haven’t heard of any cases where it was transferred from somewhere else. But it’s hard to believe that it happened this quickly.”

Ki-sun laid the pole that had the mop handle attached to it aside. The tip of the pole was a sharp piece of shell. What is this? Ki-sun frowned. Clam shells are sharp, but this is the first time I’ve seen one this bad.

“Miss Kim, how is it there?”

“lull.”

Kim Yang answered, pulling up his fishing rod. The bait was still attached to the empty hook.

Off the coast of Japan, fish were running wild. They weren’t even piranhas, but they were even more aggressive.

I was worried that the entire ocean had gone crazy, but fortunately, the farther away I got from Japan, the more normal the ocean became.

However, just in case, it was Ki-sun who checked with Kim Yang. It was a way to see the aggressiveness of fish and the dangers of the sea through fishing.

“Keep throwing?”

“Okay. Throw a little more.”

Instead of answering, Kim Yang threw his fishing rod again, and a nurse was standing next to him like a totem, hesitating. Maru, who saw this, asked Ki-sun.

“Is that guy harassing the nurse?”

“I thought you said you weren’t bullying her, but rather caring for her?”

“care?”

“Look over there.”

When Kim Yang handed the fishing rod to the nurse, she was seen holding the rod timidly and nodding. If it wasn’t bothering her. But what kind of care?

“Did you keep doing that?”

“Since yesterday, he’s been holding me next to him and making me do this and that.”

“why?”

“There are people who become very thoughtful and depressed when they just sit still, and that nurse seems to be that type.”

“W- How did you know that? But I guess Miss Kim is good at talking to you?”

“Crazy- No. No! I am single-minded.”

“Who said what? They just said you’re good at telling stories.”

“Don’t be ridiculous. I asked, so you’re answering. Did you say Miss Kim’s answer was in the clitoral form? Since you’re ending it with a noun.”

Ki-soon shivered as she looked at Miss Kim. Do you really hate her that much? Maru thought she was quite… She had become much nicer recently. She was good at backing up on her own, and judging from the way she fixed the power and operated the incinerator in the control room, Miss Kim was secretly capable in many ways.

“So what are you going to do about the maggots?”

“We have to go into the water and get it off. I pressed down on it with a pole and it seems like it’s corroding the hull.”

“What? Clams are corroding the ship? Is that true?”

“I’ve only heard about it, but this is my first time seeing it, so I didn’t think it was real, but when I pressed it with a long stick and hit it, the part where the barnacles were stuck has definitely weakened. I have to go for another 15 to 20 days, but seeing how it corroded like this in just a few days, I don’t think it’s safe to just ignore it and go.”

Maru nodded at Gi-sun’s words. It would have been bad if the hull had been corroded in just a few days, and a hole had been made after sailing for over two weeks.

“The fish are going crazy and going berserk, and the barnacles are going through some kind of radiation mutation? How can they start corroding the bottom of the boat and causing trouble in just a few days?”

“That’s right. This is the first time I’ve seen anything like this.”

“It’s fine to take it off, but how are you going to take it off?”

“You can try scraping it off with an axe, and if that’s too hard, you can try burning it with an underwater welder.”

Maru was really nervous about going into the sea. He was slow in the water. It was hard to cut and hard to dodge.

“Shall we get into scuba diving gear?”

“That’s right.”

“Isn’t that just one piece of equipment?”

“uh.”

I took the jet ski that was on the mega yacht, but I felt sorry for the amphibious vehicle that I left behind in the basement of the hospital where it was stolen. If we were going to work together now, I would have preferred the amphibious vehicle because it would have been more spacious and easier to maneuver.

“I’ll go anywhere within arm’s reach on a jet ski.”

“Okay. But don’t cut the belly too.”

“You wouldn’t go crazy and pierce the bottom of a ship.”

Maru and Gisun packed their gear.

Taking advantage of a calm wind, the catamaran was stopped and work began. Ki-sun, equipped with scuba diving equipment, entered the sea.

with a plop.

The deep blue sea. The endless space visible under the water. Kisun had been scuba diving in Jeju Island, Guam, and Saipan, but this was his first time in a place where the bottom was completely invisible, so he was nervous. Strangely, he couldn’t see any fish. Maybe that was a blessing?

I looked down at the bottom of the catamaran’s hull.

‘crazy.’

A sight of barnacles bigger than a fist stuck together. Those barnacles are so disgusting that someone with trypophobia would faint if they saw them.

From the size of a little fingernail to the size of a rice bowl. When on earth did they grow so big? It was impossible for them to grow that much in just a few days. Even if it was possible, it wasn’t normal.

‘Fuck.’ Ki-soon cursed softly, then grabbed the axe and headed towards the crow. There was a mucus-like liquid clumped up near the crow.

Something like a tentacle is writhing around inside the burrow of the barnacle.

‘Oh my.’

Even without that, Ki-sun, who had a weak stomach, wanted to cry. He swung the axe down and said, “Eight!”, but because of the resistance of the water, he didn’t use enough force, so only the shell was slightly broken and the tentacles were curled up, like a barnacle.

Era.

Die! Die!

Die! Please!

Fall down!

I tried chopping hard, but it didn’t work very well. Should I just poke a hole with an iron skewer or something and kill it, then scrape it out?

When did he manage to poke at all these things? Kisun, who had been chopping for over 15 minutes just to break and remove a few, stared blankly at the claws that were stuck together.

As Ki-sun paused for a moment to pause and stare blankly, something like a long tentacle stretched out.
