RUST -165
The three satellites orbiting Kim Yang have now become four. The last one is a supply satellite.
“My comrade asked for ammunition and food, so I brought it.”
The supply satellites were hurriedly taking out ammunition and combat rations. One, two… fourteen, fifteen. There were fifteen in total. As expected, Baekjeong. All combat rations were meat dishes.
Kim Yang looked at the face of the supply satellite as he loaded the bullets he had received. It seemed like he had seen it somewhere.
‘Where have I seen it?’
Ah!? I remembered. I wondered why I felt so uneasy because of that creepy face, and it was that guy. The guy who suddenly stabbed me in the back at Busan Marina.
Kim Yang nodded. As expected, her memory was not dead yet.
‘So you betrayed the world, went to Charlotte, then betrayed yourself again and went back to the world?’
What is this kid doing? He must have been trying to eat and live, but that made me even more suspicious. He probably didn’t do anything to the food to get the exosuit, right? No? If he did, it’s absolutely unforgivable.
15. Hmm. Since it’s US military rations, I guess it’s okay to eat one less.
[Have you eaten?]
Kim Yang aligned the satellites orbiting the surrounding area.

Knock-knock-knock-
The sound of Director Yoo’s index finger tapping the holster hanging from his thigh.
Maru’s nerves were focused on Director Yu’s fingertips. The rapid fire he had seen for the first time came to mind. The moment he pulled out the gun in the blink of an eye… He remembered the moment he turned his head reflexively.
Tick - the sound of the ball hitting? No.
Maru was sure that it was a double shot. That was why he was more sensitive. And Director Yu continued the story, pleased with Maru’s sensitivity.
“Whether it’s Virginia or whatever, the US intelligence agencies are really out of their minds. They’re not sane in the first place. They’re not sane at all.”
“······.”
The tension gradually builds.
Director Yoo says that the feeling of being stiff is no joke.
“I’m telling you the truth. It looks like you haven’t been working with them for very long. Do you know what the official name of the United States is? It’s the ‘United States of America’. Doesn’t that sound so good? The ‘United States of America’! Even the United States can’t help but bow to the ‘spirit of the new world.’”
He spoke with a snickering laugh, but his eyes remained the same. Those eyes scanned Maru’s face.
“But by the way, why are you wearing a mask? I understand that it’s for both gas and bulletproof purposes, but isn’t it stuffy to wear a mask indoors?”
“······.”
Maru was lost in thought.
The speed at which the gun was drawn.
Did it take 0.1 seconds?
I don’t know if it’s a world record, but I think I would believe it if you said it was.
Tick - sounds like one foot, but is actually two.
If there had been a bullet in the cylinder, could it have been avoided?
The first step can be avoided. What about the second?
No matter how fast it was, it couldn’t be faster than a bullet.
Is there a bullet in that gun right now?
Both feet were empty?
Can you ring it? All at once?
Should I just cut it without thinking about the future?
Maru was starting to get annoyed at the fact that only Director Yoo was smiling.
“Huh? If I say it like this, everyone will understand?”
Okay. Fuck.
Since I’ve gathered the materials, I’ll just quickly upload them and show them to you.
Tell them all to come out.
Avoid.
I go in with confidence in the bulletproof vest.
“You’re a bit of a dull type, aren’t you? That’s good too. Okay, honey. Want to show your face?”
Director Yoo keeps talking.
Avoid at first.
Next, let’s dig in.
Maru sat still and put strength into his legs.
“You’re not even going to show your face? Really?”
“······.”
Do it. Do it. Go.
For the first time, Maru felt his intuition waver.
“Ha- This is really true. The Jewish nature has really died down. They even accept all the babies’ antics.”
“······.”
Director Yoo’s hand had been pointing at the Colt Python in the holster for some time.
Time is running out.
A feeling of floating space.
It seemed like Director Yu and Maru were standing in an endless hallway.
At that moment, which was stretching out for such a long time, a voice was heard.
“You’re here, Director Yoo.”
A voice heard from behind.
Maru was so focused on Director Yoo that he missed the sound of someone approaching from behind.
The tense atmosphere suddenly disappeared.
The fever that had risen to the tip of my head cooled down in an instant.
‘Damn it. CCTV.’
It was only then that I remembered the CCTV attached to the ceiling.
“Commander Brown has called an operations conference.”
Director Yoo licked his lips and snickered at the American soldier’s story.
“Okay. Can I go now?”
“Yes, you can come with me.”
Maru and Director Yu walked slowly.
The moment Director Yoo and Maru passed each other’s shoulders, a scene flashed through Maru’s mind.
The sight of someone drawing a sword.
Before I could even fully draw my sword, I dodged the gun pointed at my head.
He dodged the head, but was unable to dodge the second bullet that was fired at him at the same time.
If you draw your sword, it’s too late.
again.
Dig in first and just throw a punch…
Likewise, as soon as he extended his fist, two bullets flew.
Two feet in the blink of an eye.
This is driving me crazy. I avoided it the first time, but the second time was the problem.
Is there no other way than to go in with the bulletproof vest?
In the time that flows so slowly.
Director Yoo and Maru’s shoulders brushed against each other with about a fist’s width between them.
“······.”
“······.”
Even though he was seething, Maru’s expression inside the bulletproof mask was surprisingly calm.

Ugh-
Director Yoo smacked his lips as he watched the receding steps of the terrace.
A murderous intent that seemed like it would slice apart his entire body. That was a real exhaustion.
A storm of blades that could strike at any moment. The feeling of being caught in the eye of that storm of blades.
For a moment, I remembered the time when an RPG exploded right next to me. I also remembered the scar that appeared across my face. Now that I think about it, that bastard was a swordsman too.
Ugh-
The feeling of death tightening around my whole body.
The tension right before your breath catches on the spot.
It was the exact feeling I had when I took a step closer to death… I felt like my whole body was being torn apart.
The pressure was so intense that it felt like a heart attack. The startled old heart beat wildly, trying to survive.
Hot blood began to flow to my cold, hardened hands and feet.
Director Yoo opened and closed his fist.
My palms, which had been extremely dry, were now moist and hydrated.
This was it.
A mutant, a stray, a monster rat, a cat, they were all bullshit. I had no interest in them. Those trashy things didn’t stimulate my already old body at all.
Even when I was pushed to the limit and almost died, all I could think was, ‘Is this how it’s supposed to end? Shit.’
But that was different.
It seemed like it would be fun to fight with that thing, and it seemed like it would be awesome to fight with that thing. Where did that guy just drop out of nowhere?
What a shitty life. Wasn’t I meant to just spend my days here, bored and wasted?
Hohohohohoho
I couldn’t stop laughing out loud.
Ah, damn it, I should’ve just put the muzzle of the gun right in that little shit’s snout.
Hehehehehe
No, no, that won’t do.
What if that’s the last thing in my life?
If you become a timid, loner like Executive Director Choi, I won’t be able to stand it.
“Director Yoo, are you doing well?”
“Haa- Ah-”
Bam!
Director Yu’s hand suddenly stretched out and grabbed the soldier’s nape.
The reason why a healthy soldier who weighed 90-100kg was unable to move because the back of his neck was grabbed by a woman’s hand was because the grip was strong rather than because he was strong.
The soldier, whose windpipe was being ripped off if he tried to escape by force, could not do anything but gasp. Two American soldiers who saw this stopped Director Yoo.
“Calm down!”
“Let go of my hands. Hands!”
“It felt good, but did you catch it?”
Ugh- Ugh- What on earth are you talking about?
The soldier couldn’t understand English. Rumors were going around that she was crazy, but was she really crazy?
Two burly men rushed to free the hand that was holding her windpipe, but failed. It could have been very dangerous if they had pushed too hard.
Should I shoot? My brother-in-law is going to die? Let’s shoot his limbs first. The moment the two exchanged glances, Director Yoo’s hand relaxed.
“It’s been a really long time since I’ve had a good time, but what the heck…? Hah- Fuck. Enough.”
Director Yoo muttered, “Kim Seon-ne…” and released the hand that was holding the back of his neck.
Ugh- Ugh- Ugh- Ugh-
Director Yoo, who had been on the verge of taking someone’s breath, patted the soldier’s back as if nothing had happened. The soldiers looked at him as if he found it absurd.
Sob- sob-
“Right. Breathe.”
Khuu …
Huuuuuuuck-
“Yeah. Good. Take your time.”
Director Yoo’s face trembled as he patted and calmed the large man down like a dog.
What would it feel like if I patted him like this? If he hesitated?
Hehehe···
Hoohoohoohoo.
The soldier, who was lying face down and gasping for breath, closed his eyes and turned his head away to avoid eye contact with Director Yoo, who was looking happy with a strange expression.
Wrong. This was the wrong year.
The rumors were true.
The rumor is that in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Southeast Asia, wherever this b*tch went, she either died or went crazy, and that’s it.

At one corner of the barricade, I saw the youngest and the girls sitting huddled together eating, and an exosuit sitting there blankly watching the kids eat.
[Are you here?]
The exosuit suddenly stood up with a squeak, and the wires plugged into the outlet stretched out. Maru laughed bitterly.
“Is that person usually like that?”
[?]
“No, that’s fine. We’ll talk about that later. I’ll be watching them. You eat first. Don’t eat here, go to the empty room over there and eat. Look around carefully.”
[Old Sse-]
Kim Yang, feeling elated, grabbed five emergency food rations and then took the sixth. Then, her eyes met Maru’s.
Hehehe- Kim Yang quietly put down one of the emergency food items she had picked up and went into the empty bedroom.
At that sight, Maru’s tension was relieved without him knowing it. I thought that Kim Yang was out of her mind, but she wasn’t. She was just normal to that extent. And these days, she’s been ‘being nice’ and even ‘being cute’.
‘Cute? Hey- I’m crazy.’
Maru shook his head as if he was dumbfounded and looked at the children who were squatting and eating. Their faces were not washed properly, even if they were not soaked in soup. Nevertheless, they were definitely pretty.
Maru shook his head again to avoid the gaze that kept going to one side. Ever since the Nurse Boeing hack, whenever he relaxed even a little, that side would come to mind.
Bounce- Bounce-
‘Tsk-‘
Srrrrrrrr-
As I pulled out the sword slightly, the blade creaked.
It seemed like he was grumbling, asking why I came here without using him. Maru’s thoughts became clearer as he heard the sound of the ringing.
Whoosh- whoosh-
With a snapping sound, the jagged barricade bars were cut into sharp pieces.
Hic.
Hib.
Cool.
The children gasped as they saw the steel bars and iron pipes being cut like weeds with a roughly swung sword.
“Huh? This? It’s nothing.”
“······.”
“······.”
“I just swung it. Don’t worry about it and eat it. It’s okay.”
“······.”
“······.”
“I told you it’s okay, so eat comfortably. Eat comfortably.”
After swinging it around for a bit, my mind cleared up.
‘What should I do?’
Going back and forth on the elevator a few times was fine, but if the elevator kept making noise, they would definitely get tangled up.
Taking over 500 people up the stairs? What if they get attacked? What if they respond in unison? If they panic, it’s certain that the whole place will be in chaos.
Commander Gilbert Brown was not a man to abandon refugees or comrades. He would not abandon anyone, even if half of his men died while escaping.
‘The method···.’
In that Maru’s eyes, he noticed an electric wire stretched taut on the floor. An electric wire that was plugged into an outlet and connected to Kim Yang’s exosuit.
Maru looked out the window. There were some large trees here and there about 100 to 300 meters away.
‘Is it possible?’
At least I could get down there faster than taking the stairs.

Lieutenant Colonel Gilbert Brown picked up the radio.
“This is a stolen hospital. We are starting the escape operation.”
[Chijijik – This is the forward base. I wish you good luck.]
Knock knock knock
Despite the excruciating pain that was crippling his lungs, the lieutenant colonel prayed for a miracle.
‘please···.’
