RUST -140
Maru, wearing a shield and helmet made of graphene composite material, stretched his head from side to side. It felt a little stiff. It was a little stuffy with the bulletproof mask, new bulletproof vest, and full body suit.
‘I think it would be okay to just hit the 9mm bullets.’
It was good to fight while keeping evasion to a minimum and taking moderate hits using shields and bulletproof vests. Not too much, but at an appropriate level. And leaving traces.
[Enter after 1 minute]
[Alpha Team Standby]
[Alpha Team Ready]
[EMP Standby]
[Prepare EMP.]
[3··· 2··· 1···]
At the same time that something like a wave passed by, the radio that had been making a faint noise became silent. The special forces soldiers next to me seemed to be indifferent, as if they had not felt anything.
Knock knock-
Someone tapped Maru on the shoulder from behind. What he was holding in his hand was a set of earbuds. Maru took them and put them in his ears, and a transmission came in. It seemed that they had been stored separately in order to counter EMP.
[EMP success]
[Alpha Team enters.]
Maru took the lead, holding a shield. The men standing on the outer perimeter of the drain were running around in confusion.
“The radio is out!”
“Prayer on the phone!”
“Are those piglets acting up again?”
“Shut up! Shut up and be quiet.”
The men guarding the drain suddenly fell to the ground with a thud. It was a sniper attack.
[Entering Alpha Team Multiplier.]
[Bravo Team Engagement.]
Unlike the video, the lights that had been illuminating the drainage ditch here and there were out. It was because of the EMP. Maru, who was walking cautiously, looked back. The special forces following him stopped.
“I will try to get there as quickly as possible.”
“what?”
“What are you going to do if there’s an ambush?”
“We must get in as fast as possible now that we are in chaos due to the EMP.”
“What the hell are you talking about? What if you just run and get surrounded?”
“Is it really necessary to take such a risk?”
As expected, is this the way it is on this side? Maru started running without saying a word. After all, it was a matter of just cutting off the head.
[Alpha Team’s sudden incident occurs.]
[The mercenary has taken action alone.]
[···Leave the mercenaries alone]
[Okay, let’s continue.]
Maru, who was running inside, glanced back. He wasn’t following. It was a bit odd that there was no one to look after him, but in a way, it was actually a good thing. Since the EMP had gone off, there was no need to worry about being caught on camera except for the special forces.
My keen senses sensed something moving inside the drain. Two? No, three.
Dadak
Each deep step narrowed the distance by 10 meters. In the blink of an eye, Maru reached the end of the drain and the enemies met.
Tadadadang
Maru blocked the bullet with his shield.
The outlines of the cartel men became clear as the dim moonlight streaming down the drainage duct mixed with the flames shooting out of their muzzles.
Flashing lights like psychedelic lights, gunshots echoing through gutters, bullet casings hitting the wet floor, water droplets splashing.
A gray blade emerged from the elongated time.
Buhwaaaaaaaaaaah-
The sound of tearing air, slicing meat, and splitting bone.
The blade that had been flying horizontally changed direction and fell vertically. The blade that had been slammed down as if it would touch the ground suddenly changed direction like a swallow full of water, and only the dim moonlight quietly illuminated it.
with a splash-
The floor disappeared with a low thud.

“The mercenary has taken action alone.”
[···Leave the mercenaries alone]
The agents nodded at the order to ignore the mercenary who rushed forward, thinking he was the best. If they had been told to immediately support or follow, they might have really fallen.
“Entry continues.”
In the first place, it didn’t make sense to announce and deploy on the day of the operation, and right before that. They let it go because they said they would be at the front holding the shield, but if they hadn’t, chaos would have broken out long ago.
Tadadadadak
A gunshot shook the drain. The gunshot rang out like a buzzing noise, perhaps because the space was blocked.
“Your Majesty?”
“We’re just going in.”
There was no need to go quickly. What if I were to save a mercenary who was acting all alone and thought he was great, but my comrades were in danger? There was no such foolish thing to do.
The drain became quiet for a moment. The last gunshot left a lingering aftertaste as it disappeared.
“Idiot.”
“······.”
Alpha Team fell silent at someone’s soft words. I thought he was a braggart because he was acting so smart, but it was only for 2~3 seconds. What was he so smart about when he couldn’t even last 5 seconds? He was a kid, so should I have stopped him?
Phew- it was a vain ending.
“It’s an ambush.”
They were the team members who were adjusting the brightness of the infrared camera. Still, it wasn’t a meaningless sacrifice, since we learned that enemies were waiting in ambush ahead thanks to his sacrifice.
Alpha Team cautiously entered. They thought it was a gunshot right in front of them, but there was no trace even after going inside for over 5 minutes.
‘Did he really just run away like that?’
When the distance became so far that it seemed impossible to move in that time even if running at full speed, the infrared camera captured things gradually cooling down from red to orange, and then from orange to yellow.
“Your Majesty!”
“Quiet···.”
The face of the so-called inside the bulletproof mask was distorted. What is this? What is that guy? The sight before my eyes did not match the appearance of the mercenary.
He didn’t have any other firearms besides a Glock 19. He was a mercenary, so he didn’t interfere. So he didn’t say anything even though he had a bunch of throw-in knives and blades hanging from his body.
Since he was the one who was going to hold the shield in the front anyway, it would have been enough if he just held the shield well and didn’t troll. But the kid who I thought would run wild from the start and get killed… did this?
The corpse that was split vertically and spread left and right had an expression that was still alive, as if it didn’t even realize that it had been cut up. The expression of the corpse that was split diagonally from the right shoulder to the left pelvis and the corpse that was split vertically were opposite.
A face distorted with pain. It was a vivid image of the fear of death, of not wanting to die. It meant that even after the torso was split in half and cut diagonally, it was still alive to some extent.
“this···.”
“HOLLY···.”
“What The···.”
The team members were speechless. They had experienced all sorts of missions and operations in the special forces, but the sight unfolding before their eyes was a first.
“Did you do this with a knife?”
“······.”
“He was holding a shield in one hand, so he was acting like a jerk with the other.”
“Quiet. Continue entering.”
The lieutenant pushed aside his team members who looked like they had seen something unseen and went inside.
That’s when the gunshots were heard, and what Alpha Team encountered afterwards was nothing but rubble.

The moment she pulled the trigger, Kim Yang had a gut feeling.
‘That’s right.’
Boom! It seemed like I heard a skull breaking in my ear.
‘That’s it, it tastes like this!’ The image of a warm person smiling brightly came to mind.
This was the taste. I couldn’t stop shooting because of this taste.
Chul-chul- ting-
A thick 12.7mm shell fell to the floor. The sight of the scope revealed a group of gunmen breaking through the door with a sniper rifle.
A silhouette was briefly visible outside the living room window as the strike team entered. Ms. Kim immediately fired a bullet.
Fighting— thud- teeing-
Okay. Okay.
Very good! Dog- good!
The bullet was good. The Barrett was good. The scope was good. The weather was good. Everything was good. How good would it be if the gun sounded in a three-stage high note?
Taaang– cheolk- ting- degururur.
Tuwaang– cheol-chang- cheong- tigur-ur.
Kim Yang’s hands became faster. Aiming and shooting, aiming and predicting and shooting, shooting and predicting and skipping aiming. In an instant, the ten-round magazine was empty.
Kim Yang quickly replaced the magazine, clutching her pounding heart.
[Request for Bravo Team Sniper Support]
[Request for Bravo Team Sniper Support]
There was a reason they were located 1.8km away. The gang was moving their hideouts. So, only after they went inside could they find out if this was the real hideout or not.
There were four places suspected to be the gang’s hideouts. The four teams decided to attack one each. The sniping point that could capture all four places within range was where Ms. Kim was.
Kim Yang moved Barrett’s gun to the right. The scene captured in the scope. The strike force was struggling in front of the door, unable to enter.
Kim Yang took out a tungsten piercing bullet and loaded it.
“Bravo Team. Next to the door.”
[I told you to snipe the kid shooting at you on the second floor!]
“Next to the door.”
[Crazy- %#$%#@^$%#$%!]
The strike team evaded the door while cursing. As soon as the strike team evaded, Ms. Kim pulled the trigger. The tungsten piercing bullet struck the lock of the sturdy door, reinforced with iron plates.
One shot. Two shots. Three shots. He drilled a hole right into the lock. Then he started smashing the hinges. Soon the hinges were smashed, and the door with the lock broken shook.
Kim Yang changed the bullet to a regular bullet and shot the upper part of the front door. There was a pop sound and the front door fell inward.
“approach!”
Bravo Team, with shields leading the way, pushed in.

Operations Situation Room
The decapitation operation was going smoothly overall. The Japs were doing a good job, making any suspicions that it was a waste of money seem pointless. The strike team that was attacking the gang was so active that they were asking who the sniper was.
I thought she was crazy because she was carrying all kinds of things, including claymores, grenades, tear gas, and even a gas mask, but that wasn’t the case. She had incredible skills, like only one out of a hundred skilled snipers could do.
No matter how advanced the equipment is, it’s always the shooter’s job to pull the trigger. And the gunman was literally a real sniper.
“The main thing was to block enemy communications with EMP.”
“Yeah. They must have been confused too.”
Originally, when multiple agencies worked together, information was bound to leak somewhere. Wasn’t that the case in the first operation? Virginia, DEA, FBI, DHS, California National Guard, California State Police, and finally the Operations Department. Who knows where it leaked from?
If it were a solo operation, they would know that there was someone inside the company who sold the information and would have found a way to leak it, but when several organizations were involved like this, the situation was bound to get messy. This is because they would pass the buck, saying that it was one of their sides that leaked it.
So the EMP of conversion was kept secret until just before entering. What would happen if the EMP was detonated and the entry began? All the existing mobile phones and communication equipment were rendered inoperable. Even if there was a traitor, what would happen if only the newly issued communication equipment worked?
“No response yet?”
“yes.”
Now that the communication network has been cut off, it will be difficult for them to deploy their thugs in the right places like last time. All they have to do is push back the thugs who come in sequentially with firepower.
“Make sure to surround it tightly.”
“The California National Guard is surrounding us.”
“I’ll block all excuses like running away into the sewer.”
“All right.”
The operation situation room, which had been busy with the subsequent reports, became quiet.
[Chi-Ik – Charlie Team, engage with addicts.]
“It’s started.”
They started to push out the drug dealers from the cartels.

A pitch-black basement without a single light.
The tunnel continued on for a long time, blocked on all sides. Maru took off the cumbersome infrared camera and turned on the tactical light attached to his shield. The long, straight beam of light gradually became dim and lost in the darkness.
Gunshots were heard from behind. The echoes and reflections could be heard from afar. It seemed that Alpha Team, which was following behind, had encountered cartel members.
Tung-
Unlike the gunshots behind, the flash of flames in front. The dull gunshots and impacts that followed. With a bang, a heavy impact was felt against the graphene composite shield. Maru started running with the shield in front.
Thud— thud!
Toowoong- Bam!
As two more bullet holes appeared on the shield, he reached the cartel sniper with his infrared scope on him.
“!”
The sniper facing the floor reloaded with a start.
Clank-
Swish-
And what he saw through the scope was darkness.
The sniper’s head was torn off. The skull bounced and slid off the side of the round drain. I felt a small crack growing on the blade.
Tsk-
Maru threw away his cracked gray sword and pulled out his newly supplied black sword. The pitch-black blade was as if it had blended into the darkness, without any trace. It was as if there was no blade at all.
Swish- Swish- I tried slashing the air a few times, but it was difficult to tell the distance the blade was making just by looking at it.
‘This is amazing.’
As I swung my sword a few more times, my nerves became tense.
Boo-
Touroooooo!
A heavy impact ran through the shield.
bullet?
No it wasn’t.
Booooooo-
Tucker!
bead?
A fist-sized chunk of metal struck the shield and bounced off. A tingling sensation ran up the arm holding the shield.
Kikkigigi-
The sound of metal scraping against the reinforced concrete walls of the canal grew closer. A man wearing a blue, dim light and an infrared camera approached, dragging a metal bat.
