RUST -138

Ms. Kim stood up and said she would take care of the nurse right away. It might take a few days, but wouldn’t it be okay if she took care of her mental health in advance? Maru agreed. Ms. Kim was secretly taking care of the nurse.

“You take good care of it.”

“You’re a medic.”

Although there was a slight feeling of something being off, Maru roughly understood. It wasn’t exactly wrong, and there was no reason to stop Kim Yang if she wanted to take care of it.

‘Should I call Kisun?’

He was a kid who hadn’t contacted me since ‘OK’ last time. He must have been here even after arriving in Korea, but I couldn’t contact him, so I wondered what had happened. I also had to let him know that he had transferred to the Department of Homeland Security, but I wondered what to do.

[———]

[Beep— The phone is off— sound—]

‘Ah. Jet lag.’

I forgot the time difference. No matter how much I slept, I turned off my phone. Maru sent me a text saying that he had transferred from Virginia to the Department of Homeland Security, and that he had become something like a freelancer for the Department of Homeland Security.

He also sent a text message to the director, adding that he was careful not to get involved with the Virginia kids in Korea.

[Do you bring your own equipment for the operation, or can you get it if you request it?]

[··· Please send us a list of necessary equipment and the reason for your request, and we will let you know after review.]

After sending it, I felt like I was nagging the manager. What should I do? The only number I know is the manager’s number. Maru pulled the sword out of its sheath.

Slurp-

The gray blade was pulled out with a rattling sound. Although there were teeth here and there, it still had its characteristic gray color. When I flicked it with my fingers, it made a long snapping sound.

The blade shook and swung and then stopped. It was okay for the time being, but it didn’t seem like it would last long.

hmm-

Upon closer inspection of the missing tooth, it seemed that the machete used by the teardrop tattoo cartel guy was no ordinary knife.

In the video the manager sent, there was no white suit guy, tear tattoo cartel, or rampaging black guy, but if you go into the main camp, there is a high probability that you will run into those guys.

I needed good knives. As many as possible.

If there was anything Kim Yang wanted, he should have ordered it. Even if the gun was like that, the bullets definitely needed to be better.

======

======

The nurse’s voice rose and fell. It sounded like she was hesitating.

“Ahhh- but still···.”

“Shut up!”

Kim Yang hurriedly urged the nurse on. The Walther P22 that Kim Yang was holding was flaunting its long silencer.

“but···.”

“hit?”

Looking at the nurse who kept saying things that would make her want to get hit, Miss Kim clenched her small fist. The nurse swallowed hard.

I knew how powerful that little fist was because I had seen it. I remember getting hit so hard in the forehead that it took my breath away.

“Eat quickly!”

“······.”

The nurse carefully picked up the Walther P22 that Kim Yang had handed her. The small gun felt heavy. A gun that felt the weight of blood.

It was a shiny, well-maintained gun, but somehow it felt like a group of vengeful spirits were gathering and screaming. Didn’t you see it from up close? Sending off several people with a gunshot.

That’s why it felt like a dark red aura was rising above the black slide.

“Hold it straight!”

Exactly-

The nurse’s head was hit with a hammer. Why did her small hand hurt so much? The nurse tried to touch her head with the gun, but the joint broke.

Pak-

“Who has a gun to his head!”

When I hit my shin and unconsciously reached for my shin, it was Ms. Kim who immediately broke the joint again. Ms. Kim who broke the joint again.

Pak-

“Where’s the gun!”

Miss Kim was merciless. The nurse was sick. The words, ‘Where did you get it from?’ came out automatically.

Pak-

“Are you bowing your head now?”

Miss Kim started to seriously manipulate the nurse. Miss Kim glared at the nurse with stern eyes.

“Watch ahead.”

“Why are you here?”, “Why are you here?”

“······.”

“What did you say?”

“······.”

“Keep your guns pointed forward at all times.”, “I told you to look ahead!”

“······.”

“I told you to take your hand off the trigger. You didn’t.”

“Huh- Heuk- Heuh- There’s sand in my eyes… in my eyes…”

It was a nurse crying sadly, saying that something had gotten into her eye. Miss Kim, who had been watching quietly, interlocked her fingers and twisted them left and right, making a sound.

“Let’s just get hit!”

What good did you do to get juice and make a fuss? Kim Yang smiled, showing her teeth. Today, I’m going to get some proper squash. When Kim Yang made up her mind and was about to dust herself, the floor came down.

“What are you talking about? Why are you grabbing the nurse?”

It was Ms. Kim who stopped fussing when she heard Maru’s voice.

Huh-huh-

Huh-hu …

The nurse was crying loudly for some reason.

Ms. Kim’s statement that nurses should also know how to handle guns also made sense.

But the nurse said she was afraid of guns. She said timidly that she became a nurse because she wanted to treat injured people, but she felt uncomfortable holding a weapon that could kill people.

“Are you scared? A gun? Aversion?”

What the heck? Miss Kim glared at the nurse. She was like a bitch who talks like she’s full. As expected, Miss Kim was determined to get her mind reformed by getting beaten up.

“Calm down. Stop staring.”

Nurse, you’re going to cry again. Maru stopped Ms. Kim.

If I had known this would happen, I would have come down earlier, but I was holding on to the child. It had only been a few hours since I came down, but in that short time, Miss Kim had turned the nurse into kimchi.

“The mind is rotten.”

“Why are you suddenly coming to your senses? That could happen.”

The nurse began to sob again at Maru’s words.

“Look at that. That.”

Where are you going to squeeze the juice again? What have you done well?

Ppoddeuk- Kim Yang clenched her small fists and made a cracking sound with her joints.

Okay, I’ve decided. I’ll fix my bob cut before I go.

Maru sighed as he looked at the arrogant Kim Yang. If you think about it, Kim Yang’s words were not wrong.

Guns made human death equal. Anyone, man or woman, who could hold a gun and pull the trigger could become the messenger of death.

So, in order to survive in the dark world ahead, it would be good to be able to handle firearms at least. It would be good to be good at dealing damage and healing, but if I had to choose between the two, what I would ask of a nurse would be healing skills.

“Stop it. Stop it. Is that something that can be solved by nagging?”

“If it’s right, that’s fine.”

If you hit me, it’ll be fine. Kim Yang shook her small fist.

That’s not entirely wrong, but what kind of life has this kid been living? When Maru looked at Kim Yang with a somewhat sad look, Kim Yang turned her head away.

“How about taking it with you instead?”

“You saw it in the video. They were surrounded in reverse. What are you going to do if you’re surrounded from behind?”

That’s true, but I didn’t know that I would be able to grab hold of the stupid nurse and shake her around. If you were going to just throw her away, that would be fine, but where else would you find a nurse like that?

The nurse’s personality was proven through our time together. She was kind, gentle, and above all, had her own professional ethics. If problems arose from all sides as Ki-sun predicted, it would not be easy to find medical staff with such a personality.

“Hey, Mr. Ono?”

“Ha-hi-”

“It might be hard, but you have to practice shooting a gun. This is America. And Detroit is known as one of the most dangerous cities in America.”

“······.”

The nurse looked slightly sad at Maru’s words.

“Last time, I talked about getting a job at a nearby hospital, right? If that’s difficult, then going to medical school or graduate school is also a good option.”

Thinking about the future, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to prepare with professional manpower. How? If it’s hard to find doctors, why not train them and use them?

Since he has a good personality, it would be a good idea to educate him well and make him a doctor. Once he becomes a doctor, he will have more connections than if he were a nurse.

“Huh? A doctor?”

The nurse was confused. She said she was going to find a hospital, but a doctor?

“Yes. I heard that it’s a bit more relaxed than other areas, perhaps because it’s Detroit.”

Since I was an Asian immigrant with citizenship and settled in Detroit, I didn’t think I would be cut. I also thought I could pass the essay if I talked about my experience surviving the Japanese disaster and caring for gunshot wounded patients.

“Uh- If it’s medical school···. English···.”

The nurse hesitated. Suddenly, Ms. Kim, who was wondering ‘what is this?’ at the mention of medical school and protocol, understood Maru’s intention.

“Do you train after work? Or study?”

Kim Yang, with a sinister smile on her face, offered the nurse a choice. Would you like to come home from work and practice shooting with me? Or would you like to study hard and go to medical school or a medical school?

“······.”

Ugh-

The answer was set.

Ms. Kim, who changed her job from a nurse to a test taker, was actually a little like that.

‘It’s easier to just let them do the work.’

Whether it’s medical school or medical school, doesn’t it all cost money? I thought it would be enough to send him to the hospital and run him, but seeing what Maru has been doing recently, my decision wasn’t bad. It’s okay to be a nurse, but it would be good to upgrade him to a doctor and bring him along.

Above all, Ms. Kim was relaxed, thinking about securing gold.

huh.

So this time, I gave it my all. It was a shame that I couldn’t fix the nurse’s bald head all at once, but if I keep going, there will be another chance.

“Then, Mr. Ono, I have already made a hotel reservation. You can prepare for the exam there.”

“···high.”

Maru quickly finished booking the hotel. It meant that he should stay home and study hard. After solving the nursing work, Maru got to the main topic.

“I asked the manager to pack our weapons, and he told me to tell him what I needed. If you need anything, just tell me. He said he’d send me a list and they’d check it and contact me.”

“Really? Is it all done?”

Kim Yang’s voice has improved.

“You’ll know once you send it.”

“Okay.”

Kim Yang immediately started listing the weapons he wanted. The pages quickly turned to new firearms, special bullets, grenades, explosives, and even portable missiles.

“No. For this operation… Okay. Just write it all down.”

If you send it, they will filter it out. The long and gruesome request was delivered to Director Dan Brown of the Department of Homeland Security.

======

======

Is this crazy?

Yes, it was definitely crazy. If you were normal, you wouldn’t be asking for something like this. What are you going to do with a portable anti-tank missile? You’re going to do something with a strike group, carefully, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble, and then an anti-tank missile?

Where did you get the caseless rifles and ask for something like this? There were caseless rifles. They had caseless rifles and ammunition made in Germany stored for research purposes. But you want that?

‘It’s a smart grenade.’

The section chief was having a hard time figuring out where he had seen such things as smart rounds that could be used in grenade launchers, smart rounds that could be used in shotguns, and even 9mm special rounds.

“Whew- Still, this one is a little better.”

What the swordsman asked for was simple. He wanted a new type of bulletproof vest that he was currently researching, new combat boots, and several good swords. The specifications of the sword he wanted were a bit tricky, but compared to anti-tank missiles, they were understandable.

[Sir, this is a call from Virginia.]

“Connect.”

[Manager Brown, are you sure the documents you sent here are correct?]

“you’re right.”

[No, you’re asking for the cost of repairing a 25-story building, and also the stuff to fill it?]

“Yes.”

[Huh- right- you even said you’d take the gold from the gang and cartel hideouts.]

“Yes. If you don’t need them, you can decline.”

[Does it matter whether my personal information is disclosed or not?]

“Doesn’t that mean you’re confident? If your identity is revealed and you end up fighting a gang or a cartel, wouldn’t you hire a lawyer?”

It was the United States, a country of lawsuits. What would happen if lawyers were called in to say that a government agency had handed over the personal information of citizens to gangs or cartels? They said they would stop the LA riots, but it was suffocating to think about the aftermath.

[Really, really···.]

Is it because they are fearless, or because they have lost their fear… Well, considering how they wiped out gangs and cartels, it makes sense. That’s what we need right now.

[Okay, okay. I will accept your request. The operation time is tomorrow morning. I will send you the plan.]

“I will convey that message. Thank you for your hard work.”

It was refreshing to see them being suffocated in that arrogant Virginia, but it was also a frustrating exaggeration to think about dealing with those who might run wild in any direction.

“Here, take care of what I asked for.”

“Are you talking about anti-tank missiles too?”

“···Except for that one. First, exclude everything that goes into the tank.”

“All right.”

Why are anti-tank mines needed?

======

======

A helicopter was flying in the distance.

Doo doo doo doo doo-

Ms. Kim, who was waiting for the helicopter on the roof of the building, was nervous.

It’s coming. It’s coming. It’s coming.

How sad it was when my beloved Barrett was broken last time!

What I’m looking forward to is a shotgun. There’s nothing better than a shotgun when fighting in a tight space. If you add smart bullets here and there, the firepower is amazing. Did they come with anti-tank missiles? If you put down a big mine and gather it and blow it up, it’ll be the end.

“Check the supplies right away. After you’ve gathered them, take the helicopter and go right away.”

“Okay.”
