RUST -113

A catamaran over 30 meters long was lifted and then crashed. Water droplets sprayed everywhere. Then, the catamaran rose again, riding the waves.

It was so daunting that I had to go up and down several meters at a time. The nurse next to me was already slumping like a sea cucumber.

‘Both or baby.’

Are you taking revenge on the magpie for pointing a gun at it? Don’t let the magpie get you down, or you’ll just scratch it so much that it makes your hair stand on end and relieve your stress like this. Kim Yang glared at Ki-soon. Regardless, Ki-soon ran off coolly.

Woowook

Ugh

‘I’m dying, you little shit.’

‘I’m dying.’

‘The nurse died too.’

Ki-soon’s gallop, from anger to pleading, from pleading to despair, continued for over an hour until the wind died down.

The distance from eastern Japan to Vancouver was approximately 7,500 km. Since it wasn’t a straight line like an airplane, it was easier to think of it as traveling about 8,000 km.

By maintaining a steady speed of 17 to 20 knots during the day, or roughly an average of 34 km, the time it took to get to Vancouver, Canada, which used to take 15 to 20 days, has been significantly reduced.

“If we keep going like this, I think we’ll get there in ten days?”

“So it’s almost 4-5 days earlier than expected?”

“Yeah. I guess it would be nice to keep going at full speed while we’re at it, but that’s going to be a bit difficult.”

Ki-soon smacked his lips as if he felt sorry.

As November came, the winds definitely got stronger. The waves also got bigger, and the boat would rock like crazy as it increased its speed. Ki-sun and Maru held on lightly, but Ms. Kim and the nurse were shivering.

When Kim Yang, who had become a kimchi, looked at him with her cold eyes, Ki-soon also felt a little embarrassed. The nurse felt sorry for just groaning.

Ugh-

I didn’t mean to go that far, but maybe I got too worked up? Ki-soon felt embarrassed as she thought about the two of them.

“Maruya. But I sold mine to a new owner.”

“uh.”

“What’s its name?”

“How is it? It sticks to your mouth.”

“No, sir. What are you talking about? You don’t really think so, do you…?”

“What about Suzuki Subaru? It just sticks to your mouth and somehow gives off an engineering vibe, doesn’t it?”

“Then what is Honda Shikimaru? Are you upset about the name? Why did you name it something like that?”

“Didn’t you say that? When you’re selling your identity, if you don’t want to make a mistake with your name, you have to use a name that’s firmly ingrained in your mind.”

“Ah- That’s not to say that I should change my name. It’s to keep that in mind when you change your name.”

“Anyway, the names are easy to remember. Suzuki Subaru, Honda Shikimaru. They give off a nice Japanese corporate vibe.”

“Okay. Okay. What on earth are you thinking, Honda Shikimaru? Why don’t you just say Sekimaru while you’re at it? Your last name should be Shimono.”

“······.”

“Are you really going to do that?”

“······.”

“Crazy. This time, when you apply for permanent residency or citizenship, please use a more normal name. Okay?”

“To avoid making a mistake, use something similar to your own name.”

Maru and Gisun grumbled.

Regardless, Ms. Kim and the nurse turned the satellite channel with bleary eyes. They caught the news.

[···The video you are watching was filmed near Hiroshima City, Japan.]

[Dark night. A helicopter takes off···.]

[···When a helicopter drops a huge bomb on a house, the area turns into a sea of ​​fire.]

[···It looks like napalm bomb.]

[So, is this saying that the large-scale fire that broke out in Hiroshima, Japan was caused by an unidentified military group?]

[···While the Japanese provisional government announced that it would designate Kyoto as the new capital and begin an investigation into the large-scale fire that occurred in Hiroshima···]

[In the midst of all this chaos, another problem arose in Japan, right?]

[Yes. This is the story we covered in the last special news. Do you remember? It’s the story about the communication outage in Tokyo and the surrounding areas.]

[Yes. You said that contact with the Tokyo correspondents was lost at the time.]

[Yes, that’s right. After that, each country sent a rescue team to rescue the reporters. And this is a video sent by one of the rescue teams. Let’s watch it together.]

[··· The French Foreign Legion was deployed to rescue the Tokyo correspondent.]

[The port area has been turned into a mud swept away by the tsunami, and rescue teams continue their difficult march.]

[The rescue team suddenly starts running. One of the team members sees something and screams.]

[The camera shakes as black smoke approaches from a distance. Rescue teams then lose communication.]

[While there has been no official statement released regarding the rescue team’s disappearance···.]

Isn’t that black smoke? A crow? But why was there a scream and chaos before the crow approached? Miss Kim tilted her head. The nurse was choking up after seeing the news that Tokyo, Japan had been reduced to ashes.

By the way, didn’t you say that the nurse’s hometown was Tokyo? Well… Well, I guess that’s a bit much. Miss Kim changed the channel out of consideration. It was American news.

[Amid the situation where China has dispatched armed troops to Japan, the Pentagon says this should be interpreted as an attack on the international community···.]

[···In response, a Chinese spokesperson claimed, “China loves peace and has never dispatched armed troops to Japan.”]

[Chinese weapons and portable surface-to-air missiles FN-6 and FN-16 were found near Hiroshima City, while the bodies were identified as Chinese.]

[···A Chinese-made surface-to-air missile based on the former Soviet Union’s Igla surface-to-air missile, a missile that infantry can carry and attack···.]

[Major General Henry Garrison of the US Army in Japan sent a report to Congress warning that China might attempt to annex Taiwan by force during the Japanese disaster.]

[While the House of Representatives is discussing a plan to directly respond with its allies in the event that China attacks Taiwan by force, China is strongly protesting, saying it is interference in its internal affairs.]

[Does direct response mean armed response?]

[Yes, that’s right. If China invades Taiwan by force, we must stop it, even if it means resorting to armed conflict, together with our allies.]

[Amid the opinion that the Pacific Fleet at Pearl Harbor should be sent to Japan to help with rescue operations and maintaining public order···.]

It wasn’t chaos. Ms. Kim turned off the TV. Yeah – let’s just listen to music.

Soothing music and the sound of waves enveloped the catamaran.

The catamaran sailed smoothly across the Pacific. Apart from the initial barnacle incident, there were no major problems.

The barnacles that were moved from the bucket to the storage bin showed crazy reproductive capacity. Not only did they increase in number, but they also grew considerably in size. In an instant, they grew to the size of golf balls, and after a few more days, they grew to the size of baseballs.

Every time I opened the locker to check, it would swish its tentacle-like genitals around, so much so that I decided to just open it.

“Ah. C- Seriously, let’s stop opening it.”

It was a sight that made me shiver as if I was getting hives all over my body just by looking at it.

“I’ll have to see what the general condition is like. If you want to talk about it, then?”

When I was negotiating with the Canadian government and the US government, I didn’t even know what condition the barnacles in the storage were in. So I opened them once in a while and stuff. Now that I look at it, it was dangerous to open them.

“You saw it. If that thing touches your dick, it gets fucked.”

Even on the scuba diving equipment sealed in plastic, small barnacles were crawling up. When they touch the skin, they either burrow eggs into the skin or burrow larvae. They were different from the usual barnacles.

The term genitals literally refers to the act of reproduction, not the organs that lay eggs or push larvae into them. If so, it would have been called an ovipositor, or a parasitic tube that pushes larvae into it? That’s what it would have been called.

“I think it would be more correct to see that as some other creature disguised as a barnacle.”

“but.”

Maru also agreed with Gi-sun’s words.

“But why is it targeting you so much?”

Strangely, when someone else opened it, the reaction was just the same. However, when Ki-soon opened it or was nearby, it was a barnacle that went crazy.

“What the fuck, do I know why?”

“By any chance. It’s not like it’s made to be eaten by barnacles?”

“What are you going to eat?”

“Eat-yeung~ Eat-ANG?”

“Hey! This guy-”

“You say that a crow can change sexes? ~Huh? ~Huh? We’ll do a thorough checkup when we get to the US~Huh~”

It was Maru who was slowly teasing Ki-sun.

[Chijijik-Coast Guard···]

“Hey. Here. Be quiet.”

Ki-soon grabbed the radio and started talking.

Kim Yang suggested that it would be a good idea to create additional identities.

“So you’re saying it’s better to make one or two separately?”

“Wouldn’t that be so?”

“I think it’s solved if you create an identity with the Canadian and American governments. Since you’ve been officially recognized as a Japanese citizen, the laundry is definitely done.”

“For now, the identity laundering issue has been resolved, but just in case, it would be better to do something else separately.”

That was true. Maru himself was in a situation that was beyond the scope of ordinary people, and so was the medicine he had. Even if a rapid cure was discovered, it would be dangerous, and it would also be dangerous if it was discovered that he had the ability to detect or predict natural disasters such as earthquakes or tsunamis.

“I think what Ms. Kim said is right.”

Ki-sun, who had been listening quietly, agreed. Even if a deal was made with the Canadian and American governments, it would be safer to dig a hole separately. It would be useless to regret it later, no matter what happened.

“How did the story go?”

“Just wait patiently for now. This King Ki-soon has laid out the bait well.”

“Where and how did you sow it?”

“If you spread it only in Canada, the Virginia company will come and sniff it out and get screwed. Then from that point on, it’s all screwed up.”

At Ki-sun’s words, Ms. Kim and the nurse glanced at Maru and nodded.

“We first sent samples to a laboratory at the University of British Columbia in Canada, and then to a laboratory at Stanford in the United States.”

“Hey, what if I send you a sample first, even though I didn’t get anything promised?”

“Whoa- Whoa- Calm down. Do you think I just sent you samples? I only sent some. Just some. It’s heartbreaking. You’ll get a call right after you receive them.”

Tiringly riringly-

Tiringly riringly-

“See? I told you I’d be right here, day or night. Just wait.”

Ki-sun quickly picked up the walkie-talkie.

“Yes. It’s Suzuki Subaru.”

[Hello, Mr. Suzuki. This is Virginia Company contacting you.]

I thought I would get a call from the university that received the sample, but I got a call from Virginia right away. That was fast. It was just like a Virginia company.

“Oh? Virginia. Yes. Go ahead.”

[You have dangerous tissue, and you know that the situation is not good right now, right?]

“I sent samples to university labs in Canada and the United States because I thought it was dangerous.”

[Ha. Ha. I see. Then I hope we can talk about the details when we meet.]

“I don’t like wasting time. Let me tell you what I want first. I want Canadian and American citizenship, a house, and a small amount of compensation. Please check and give me an offer.”

[This. Really- You’re being direct. Good. But I need a living specimen.]

“Well, I’ll give you the answer about the living sample after I hear the reward.”

[Okay, let’s do that.]

“I’ll tell you in advance, these are the people who came all the way from hellish Japan to get samples. I hope we can have a good deal.”

[Don’t worry. I’ll contact you after the meeting.]

As soon as Ki-sun hung up the radio, he crossed his arms.

“Why? Wasn’t the conversation going well?”

“Hey. Is it really that hard to subdue someone without killing them?”

“It must be hard. I don’t know if it’s just a normal person, but Virginia? If you get shot, you die anyway, but it’s hard to do things gently. But why? From what I’ve heard, it didn’t end well, right?”

“Whew- This is a bit. Not good. I’ll have to stab the National Security Agency too.”

“To the NSA? Isn’t this going to get bigger? Virginia might try to cover it up quietly, but if it goes all the way to the NSA, it won’t be easy to end it quietly.”

“That’s right. Aren’t there many ways to cover it up? First of all, Virginia contacted me too quickly. And I feel like I’m talking too easily. I should get insurance. I’m worried and can’t do it.”

If that’s the case, then Maru said to Ms. Kim.

“Just in case, Kim and I will be on guard from now on.”

Kim Yang nodded and put on the optical hiding robe.
