RUST -172

The 3.5m tall mass that protruded from the snow moved in an intimidating manner.

Wow-

A panzer aims a 20mm Vulcan at Director Yu and his party with a heavy noise.

“?”

“!”

No, why?

Director Yoo and his subordinates were dumbfounded by the sudden actions of the armored soldiers.

Why are you suddenly pointing a gun at me? We’re on the same side.

Byeong-deok, who was quietly pulling a sled, said a word.

“Director Yoo. Did something happen?”

“······.”

“······.”

“······.”

All of the subordinates’ eyes turned to Director Yoo. At the sight of his subordinates’ pitiful gazes, Director Yoo, who was lying on the sled, started to struggle and convulse.

“This dog···.”

Daesu, who was lying next to him, immediately covered Director Yoo’s mouth as he was about to swear.

‘Ugh- Ugh-.’ I’m going to kill you. Hands off. Director Yoo glared.

“No, I’m going to die right now. Why are you saying you’ll kill me later? I’m going to die even if Director Yoo doesn’t kill me.” Dae-su said with a sly smile and his eyes.

The mouth of the man who was laughing like a retard was stained red with blood.

Even if the leather and bulletproof vest protected him from being hit like that with a 12.7mm assault rifle, the shock must have been severe. If the blood was flowing back, he needed urgent treatment.

As Director Yoo’s seizure subsided, Min-sik shouted at the armored soldier aiming his Vulcan gun.

“This is the Republic of Korea World PMC. There were casualties during the rear disruption and delay operation…”

As if to interrupt Minsik’s words, a voice also flowed out from the armored soldier.

[This is 2nd Lieutenant Roger Lung of the US Army Special Forces Corps. All are requested to drop their weapons and follow the instructions.]

Maru checked the equipment recovered from the Chinese kids.

There were a lot of things I was seeing for the first time. First of all, there was a 12.7mm caliber bullpup rifle, and even a revolver that used the same 12.7mm cartridge.

‘I think Ms. Kim would like this?’

To think of using such a stupid-looking bullet in a pistol, isn’t this style not Chinese style but Russian mind? ‘Bigger is stronger’, ‘Bigger is bigger.’

Anyway, it was nice to be able to use both a rifle and a pistol with one type of ammunition. It meant I didn’t have to carry around different types, I just had to bring one.

The biggest loot, by far, was the optical stealth gear. It seemed less powerful than what I was using now, but still, where else could I find such a plentiful supply of stealth gear?

I had a hard time writing this without ruining it, but it was worth it.

With my backpack full of loot, I looked out the window and saw that the refugees and American soldiers had already left, and the area around the tree with the wires was empty.

“Hey. How’s it going there?”

[-chijijijik-chijiji-chijiji-]

It seemed like they were answering something, but the noise was so bad I couldn’t hear them. What’s with the Chinese transmitters? Judging from the way they kept uploading stuff, it seemed like they had specialized equipment for this kind of thing.

‘I think I should take this to Hood.’

There was something that Kim Yang would like, something Hood would be interested in.

Should I bring something that the nurse would like?

Maru recalled that these days, instead of carrying heavy textbooks, people carry around only a laptop with e-books and reference materials. If you’re going to bring one, wouldn’t it be better to bring one for nursing as well?

‘If it’s password protected, I’ll just take the hard drive apart.’

It was Maru who started to lightly disassemble the computer.

After tearing down the hard drive, tearing down the memory, and going into the professor’s lab or waiting room, he repeated the process. He occasionally cut down the monster cat that crawled up, and Maru, who was having a rewarding time, received a communication from Kim Yang.

[Chi-chi-chik! Chi-ji-ji-ji!!! Chi-jik!]

“what?”

A noise that felt somehow urgent. The sound was muffled and unintelligible. Ms. Kim continued to speak in a raised voice, perhaps frustrated or in a state of emergency.

[!!!! Crackle!!! Crackle!!!]

“I can’t hear you! I was going to leave just now!”

If he hadn’t been infected by a mutant, it wouldn’t have been a problem to take out his own body… With the exosuit and chain gun, he could have taken care of one or two mutants by himself. There doesn’t seem to be anything urgent.

‘No way. Did you fight with the Chinese kids?’

Considering the material that Director Yoo had captured, it was clear that there was a spy inside. What if a Chinese spy had leaked information about the escape operation?

Satellites and drones were not available, and communication was difficult. Now was the perfect time to annihilate the US military and steal the data. The Chinese guys who had come all the way to the hospital to target Director Yu in the rear unit, should we just leave Lt. Col. Gilbert Brown, who had the original data, alone?

‘I guess I’ll have to hurry.’

Maru, fully loaded with luggage, went down the power lines.

======

======

A 20mm Vulcan was aimed at Director Yu and his men.

[Repeat: Drop your weapons and follow the instructions.]

Sang-hyeon, who was pulling the sled with Byeong-deok, exploded with anger.

“Why are you suddenly telling me to disarm? What are you talking about?”

Not good.

Didn’t you experience it in Iraq and Afghanistan? War was when incidents broke out without evidence or witnesses. And now it’s a situation similar to war. But you’re saying disarm unconditionally?

No matter how I looked at it, it wasn’t good. Thanks to the antidote, my mind, which had been hazy, had returned to normal, but my body wasn’t. I felt alive in Director Yoo’s senses.

“Get down!”

Even to a small voice, the subordinates reacted quickly. A dull bullet passed through the space created by the flattened body.

Drumroll

“Fuck. Those crazy bastards shot it!”

“where are you?”

“6 o’clock and 7 o’clock.”

One by one, people in white camouflage uniforms rose from the snowdrifts. Those wielding ASh-12.7 assault rifles aimed their guns at Director Yu and his party and shouted.

[Put your gun down. If you move, I’ll shoot.]

Poor English.

“Hey. Your pronunciation is bad. You don’t sound like an American soldier.”

Dae-su, who had been serving as an interpreter for the American soldiers, muttered with difficulty on the sled.

You’re with US armored personnel carriers, but you’re not US soldiers?

Even what he said was nonsense. Byeong-deok translated the nonsense.

“I have to move to drop the gun, what the fuck?”

So, what he meant was that he shot because it moved even though he had put the gun down.

“It’s China. Those guns those kids are holding. They’re the same guns the Chinese kids were holding earlier.”

The expressions of his subordinates changed at Director Yoo’s words. If it weren’t for the armored personnel carriers, what would they do? If they were American armored personnel carriers, they would be with the Chinese kids. What kind of situation is this?

“What should we do, sir?”

Director Yoo smiled faintly at Minsik’s words.

“If you drop your gun, you die.”

Even if you don’t throw them away, they’ll die. If you were planning to capture them all alive, you wouldn’t have shot them first. Perhaps he was the only one to be captured alive. Director Yu desperately tried to strengthen his limbs. He couldn’t use any strength. He flinched – his limbs felt heavy.

“Hey- How do we get there?”

Director Yoo’s indifferent voice made his subordinates laugh in vain.

“That’s because that damn bastard is talking nonsense with his mouth.”

“Yes, the algebra.”

“What should I do? My wife will become a widow.”

“Fuck you, you fucking idiots. On the topic of divorce between a bachelor, a goose, and a cuckoo.”

The subordinates laughed, showing their white teeth.

[I warn you one last time. Weapons···]

Just as Roger Lung was about to give his final warning, the piled up snow collapsed and another crimson armored soldier burst out. It was the armored soldier piloted by Ensign Roy Stern.

[Second Lieutenant Roger Long. The communication is down. Where are they… Who are these guys?]

People lying flat on the floor. Orientals?

Those wearing white camouflage standing next to Ensign Roger Lung’s armored personnel carrier.

It wasn’t a US military camouflage uniform.

And the face of a woman lying on a makeshift sled in one corner. It seemed somehow familiar.

Where did I see you? Yeah, that crazy bitch I saw in Afghanistan…

[World Judain? No, is it your daughter? Ensign Roger Long. What is this situation···.]

Before the question could be finished, the muzzle of the 20mm Vulcan rifle that had been aimed at Director Yu and his party turned towards Lieutenant Stern.

Ting!

Tukwakwakwakwakwak!

Amazing reflexes and maneuverability! Stern’s cavalryman used the tip of his shield to strike the muzzle of the Vulcan cannon. Lung’s cavalryman scraped the ground and fired shells into the air.

As the two armored men clashed, a gunfight began. The first to attack were Director Yu’s men who were lying down.

“6 o’clock!”

As all three guns fired simultaneously, the one who fired first turned into a red honeycomb.

“smoke shell!”

“3. 2. 1!”

Push-seek-

“another!”

Phewhaaaaak-

[Kill him!]

[Women must live.]

[Don’t let the girl get hit!]

[Stop it!]

Byung-deok, who could speak a little Chinese, kicked Min-sik’s butt.

“Those kids are after Director Yoo. Go quickly.”

“We’ll take care of this place, so take care of Daesu and Director Yu. Hurry up!”

Sang-Hyeon shouted while changing the magazine.

“Fuck. Hurry up and go!”

Director Yoo went crazy at her subordinates’ words. She screamed, wriggling like a caterpillar.

“Where are they going? Who are they going? These idiots. Ugh.”

Daesu, who was lying next to him, put a gag on Director Yoo’s mouth. Director Yoo was struggling like crazy.

Min-sik nodded after seeing Byeong-deok and Sang-hyeon’s faces and started pulling the sled.

Min-sik started running forward after detonating the smoke bomb. It was in front of him, not behind him.

“grenade!”

“3! 2! 1!”

Byung-deok and Sang-hyeon threw four grenades, two at a time, into the smoke screen. Since they were thrown after holding them for three seconds, they exploded as soon as they hit the ground.

Min-sik’s sled jumped into the midst of the explosion and smoke.

‘Hey you fucking punk. Stop it! Stop it!’

Director Yoo, with his mouth gagged, desperately pulled out the Colt Python.

‘If you leave the kids behind, I’ll kill you! I’ll really kill you, you brat!’

Brrrr-

Kwaaaaaaaang!

A huge explosion went off behind them.

The sled rocked violently in the aftermath of the explosion.

‘Sang-Hyeon! Byeong-Deok!’

The Colt Python slipped from Director Yu’s weakened grip.

‘We agreed to die together even if we die! You son of a bitch!’

‘Stop! Stop it!’

The cobalt-colored colt python that fell into the white snowfield lost its owner.

Cool-

Blood poured out of Daesu’s mouth. His vision became blurry.

My insides were hurt, and it felt like my ribs had punctured my lungs from the repeated impacts.

“Are you okay?”

“Hehehe- Does it look okay?”

Can’t you see it? Shit. I’m going to die. Soon.

Two men, hiding a sled in the Chinese children’s concealment equipment, looked ahead. American soldiers were searching the area. They looked like they were looking for something.

“Can you trust them?”

“This is bullshit.”

The American armored personnel carriers were with the Chinese. Judging from the fact that they fought the red armored personnel carriers that came in later, things seemed complicated on their side as well.

“······.”

“······.”

Whatever the chews, you have to think about it.

“Director Yoo?”

“Don’t even look at me. When will the anesthesia wear off? I have to get out before it does. A little farther away.”

If I die, they won’t chase me, right? Huh? Will they chase me all the way to hell?

“Hey, give me some C4.”

“why?”

“Why, it’s going to end up like this anyway. Why don’t you talk to them?”

“···hey.”

“You need to know if those guys are your allies or not. You came all the way here to kill these kids? This is fucking bullshit.”

Minsik threw a bomb at Daesu’s words.

“Just wait. You’ll know when you see.”

Daesu walks towards the American soldiers, bleeding profusely.

Perhaps because it was a close distance, the radio microphone was relatively clear.

[Stop! Hands up!]

[Coolook! – This is Oh Dae-su from World PMC. Escape operation···]

Before Daesu could finish speaking, the American soldier struck Daesu’s head with the buttstock, knocking him down. Daesu, already at his limit, fell to the ground and struggled.

Director Yoo was furious when he saw that.

[···Yes. I caught one here. A woman? No women? Okay. But the one I caught looks seriously injured. Yes. Okay.]

American soldiers who had been searching the area gathered one by one.

[Ah- I have to catch that woman. There will be no shift changes until I find her body.]

[How am I supposed to find it when there’s so much snow?]

[Oh really. It’s shit. Hey- Where are you? Where are you, that bitch?]

Puck – The giant squirmed as I kicked it with my foot. Blood gushed out from its mouth.

[This guy is going to die soon, right?]

Daesu turned his head and smiled faintly as he looked in the direction of the sled he was hiding in.

[Is this kid laughing?]

[Huh? What are you holding in your hand?]

[Bomb! Shoot!]

Kwaaaaaaaah!

Debris fell with a thud. The white snowfield was dyed red.

Director Yoo, who had been fluttering in his seat, trembled.

‘Ugh! Eugh eugh!’

The blood vessels began to burst from the white sac.
