RUST -170
A head that rolls around with a thud sound.
The finger that was sending the text twitched.
[monster?]
[Get down···!]
The pitch-black blade stuck in at the end of the shout to lie down. It turned around with a crunching sound as the blade pierced through the snout.
[?]
[!!!]
Ssuguggeuk- With a sound of flesh and bone being cut, the blade turned 180 degrees and came out from the mouth, through the philtrum, through the nose, through the space between the eyebrows, and out of the crown of the head.
My head split open like a gourd, and the hot, steaming contents spilled out like spilled tofu.
[······.]
[eww!!!]
[!!!]
In front of those who were frozen in shock, the transparent space distorted and shook, revealing the shape of the floor.
‘···As expected, a quick charge won’t last long. Then let’s start with the closest one···.’
Maru’s murderous intent turned into murderous intent and shot at the person right in front of him. The person who received the sticky murderous intent right in front of his nose rolled his eyes and foamed at the mouth.
Just as a puppy that has just seen a dog for the first time starts to fight, the person who trembled and collapsed found freedom with a thud.
It was only after I saw my colleague leave in search of freedom that my reaction erupted.
[Eww!!!]
[asleep!!!]
[Shoot!!!]
[!!!]
Before the trigger could be pulled, pitch-black moonlight swept over the four of them. An obsidian disc passed their wrists, brushed their necks, and circled their waists and shoulders.
????????
Tsuririck- Creak- Sugigik- Tugigik-
The sound that follows after the obsidian disc passes. The sound of something being cut, sliced, and sliced.
A finger that tried to pull the trigger with strength, but wouldn’t move.
A voice that wants to scream but won’t come out.
I want to turn back, but my steps are frozen.
It all seemed like an illusion, deceiving them.
[······.]
[······.]
[······.]
[······.]
A moment of silence.
They could only look at each other in the endlessly stretched out space. The body of their comrades slowly being separated from life. The fact that their own bodies reflected in their comrades’ eyes had already been severed.
Only after they had despaired, despaired, and despaired were they able to leave for their comrades who had found freedom first.
‘hmm-‘
Maru stretched his head from side to side as he looked at the collapsed debris.
Compared to the stealth robe I’m wearing now, it seems a bit lacking. It seems sufficient for night use, so I pushed myself a bit and my body felt clammy.
Swish- Maru swung his sword and wiped off the blood and fat from the blade, then picked up the transmitter that had fallen to the floor. The fingers that had been holding the transmitter tightly fell to the floor, splattering blood.
All I could understand was a few words in broken Chinese. I tried to block it for a moment, thinking it was trying to convey something, but the content written on the transmitter had already been transmitted.
After that, more and more texts came up, but since it had been a long time since I had written in Chinese, I couldn’t understand anything except a few words.
Sentences mixed with words like [order], [kill], and [capture]. Maru turned off his attention from the transmitter and started checking the screen on his tablet PC.
There were many photos of Director Yoo in the open folder.
‘Is it voyeurism?’
Why are you taking so many pictures of Director Yoo? From pictures taken from all angles and from far away to pictures of him eating. Anyone who sees them would think they’re from a hardcore fan club or taken by paparazzi.
‘huh?’
Maru’s face, which had been flipping through the screens like this, became stiff. The photos that were flipped back and then forward again. And the date and time the photos were taken below them.
Director Yoo, who appeared in the photo taken a month ago, looked young, but still looked to be in his 40s. Early 40s. He looked much younger than his age.
The photo album that was being turned over, the photo taken two weeks later, showed a much younger appearance. Another two weeks later, in the photo taken today, Director Yoo was seen facing Maru.
With a face that made it hard to guess her age, she was glaring at someone in the photo. When I enlarged the photo, I saw the back of a familiar robe in the direction of Director Yoo’s gaze.
‘Is that my back?’
Since when have you been targeting me? You didn’t just take my liver, you took my liver after targeting me? Why on earth?
“This is ridiculous.”
Anyway, since the Chinese kids were targeting her, if she did well, she might get the relics that Kim Yang was hoping for. Maru quietly started to collect the relics of those who had left for freedom.

Forward base
The colonel was pressing his temples.
What on earth did you eat wrong to be like that?
Ensign Roy Stern.
It felt like fucking Ensign Roy Stern had put a stun gun in me.
“So. You just charged forward with the armored personnel carrier?”
[Yes.]
What if we just charge in? How much is that machine? The armored personnel carrier we lost on the first floor of the stolen hospital is enough to popcorn, and you’re taking the rest of them with you?
The colonel controlled himself with superhuman patience. Still, he must have gone because he had one good ability, and he wouldn’t have gone without any plan.
“What was the result?”
[Surrounded by monsters.]
The colonel shook his head.
The colonel vowed that if he lost the armored personnel carrier he had brought in now, he would have them dishonorably discharged.
“I’ll send additional armored vehicles, so hold on.”
[All right.]
The colonel immediately dispatched reinforcements. He was a bad boy, but he couldn’t just leave him alone, right? The colonel immediately put out the fire that had fallen on his feet and drank the coffee that had gone cold.
“Colonel, there’s a man from Virginia.”
“Virginia? Why are you there? Tell them to come in first.”
A blond man wearing a dark suit and dark sunglasses greeted the colonel with a polite smile.
“Colonel Greenfield, it is an honor to meet you. My name is John Smith, Third Division, Virginia Far East.”
“Yes, Mr. John Smith, the person I met before was Jonathan Smith, and the employee I saw before that was Joe Smith. Enough with the formalities, what’s your business?”
Those Virginia bastards were always like that. They hid behind aliases and teased people. What kind of bullshit will they do this time? Please, just a little bullshit. The colonel prayed inwardly.
“Because there is a traitor who has betrayed the United States.”
‘Fuck.’ The colonel closed his eyes. Why would a traitor come from the unit he commanded? Did the brigadier general go overseas?
“Are you a spy?”
“Yes. It was hard to find because it had been hidden for a long time.”
What was Army Counterintelligence doing until the stabbing in Virginia? Shouldn’t what happens in the Army be dealt with in the Army? A look of deep fatigue appeared on the colonel’s face.
“Why now of all times?”
“I had no choice but to uproot them all at once, from the trunk to the roots. Please understand.”
The face of John Smith smiling sadly.
“So which country is it? It can’t be Japan. It’s Russia?”
The colonel wondered if there were any Eastern Europeans among his subordinates.
“Or China?”
John Smith’s head moved slightly.
There were more Chinese Americans than you might think. They ranged from descendants of those who came to the U.S. during the Western Expansion period, that is, during the Qing Dynasty, to descendants of those who immigrated to the U.S. when the Republic of China was in decline, to the students who came in like a flood after the economic opening.
Of the subordinates that immediately came to mind, there were more than ten Chinese Americans, and even more of them had one Chinese parent.
However, excluding them was politically risky, as the number of Chinese citizens was approaching 6 million.
Even just the troops deployed for this operation alone number in the thousands, with direct or indirect ties to China.
This operation was conducted in East Asia, so soldiers with similar skin colors were recruited in relatively large numbers. As a result, there were more Asian soldiers, which meant that there were more Chinese soldiers.
“Is this what you meant?”
“This was agreed upon above.”
The colonel kept his mouth shut.
“As you know, the international situation is not good. It’s the same with Russia and China. I don’t know what will happen in the future, but I needed to check.”
“······.”
“The situation is this. If Japan has effectively collapsed and something hidden by the Japanese government is floating around without an owner, they will target anywhere in the world.”
“······.”
There was no way I could miss out on such a tasty prey, skinned and begging to be eaten.
“You may have sent it this way and that way, but as you can see, the situation in Japan is not easy. If you sent it little by little, it would have become food for the monsters. It was certain that there was data, but at the moment when I was wondering if there was no way, our military dispatched a large-scale rescue team.”
“Are you going to use this opportunity to nip it all in the bud?”
‘Bingo,’ said John Smith with a look of approval.
“There was a reaction from Russia, but the biggest reaction came from China. Shouldn’t we use this opportunity to sort things out as much as we can?”
‘If you keep catching them, you’ll catch them all eventually,’ John Smith said to himself.
The colonel took a deep breath.
“So, did you find the evidence?”
“Of course.”
John Smith placed a transmitter that looked like an industrial mobile phone on the table. It was a transmitter with dark red blood that had not yet dried.
“This is the transmitter they use for short-range communication. It’s a device that can connect to regular cell phones and PCs. While examining the information they exchanged, I found something very interesting. Oh, I made a mistake. Rather than saying it’s interesting, I think it would be more accurate to say it’s very important information. It could be a turning point in human history.”
“······.”
Behind the sunglasses, the shining blue eyes sparkled with desire. The colonel’s face hardened involuntarily at the sight of those blatant eyes.
“I heard that Lt. Col. Gilbert Brown has the original data for this escape operation. And I also heard that a PMC belonging to the World Group in Korea is also participating in the escape operation. Is that correct?”
“That’s right.”
“Director Yoo and all of his subordinates from World PMC. Please give the order to capture or kill them. This is the order from the higher-ups.”
John Smith placed the orders on the table and pushed them in front of the colonel.
“What? What do you mean? Are you out of your mind? Do you know what you’re talking about?”
Korea was an ally. And if it was World PMC, it was a place where we worked together in Iraq and Afghanistan. But to capture or kill them? What the…
John Smith opened his mouth, not paying attention to the colonel’s surprised and angry gaze. His expression was bizarre. His eyes were dark and gloomy beyond desire, and his tone did not hide his sticky emotions.
“Never. Never. Director Yu and his men must not go to another country. Every hair. Every drop of blood. Everything. It belongs to the United States. Do you understand?”
“······.”
The colonel’s fire blazed.
“Capture them alive. If that’s difficult, kill them. Be sure to recover the bodies. This is my order.”
“······.”

bang!
One gunshot. Two bullets. Blood burst from two eyeballs.
Kyaaaaahhhhhhhh!
The giant cat shook its head and screamed with its eyes wide open. Director Yu shouted at his subordinates who were just staring blankly at it.
“Are these kids playing? Are they playing?”
“No, neither guns nor knives work. What should I do?”
“Hey. Minsik, bring that over here.”
“Is that it?”
“You pulled out the toenails. You cut the skin with them?”
“Yes. Well. Here it is.”
The curved claws that Minsik extended out looked like karimbit knives. They were larger than the cat’s size. The length of the claws with the blades pointed out must have been about 20cm.
The shape of the handle and blade are upright. When did you do this?
Director Yoo held the cat’s claw karim comb in reverse.
Kyaaaaah! Kyaaaaah!
The monster began to writhe in pain and groan.
The guy, who had been looking around as if he had focused all his senses on his nose and ears instead of his eyes, turned his head in the direction where Director Yoo and his subordinates were.
