RUST [RUST]-202

The end of a long string of gunshots.

The heads of two soldiers exploded at the same time. Thud- The dull gray ice floor was painted red.

“This monster bitch!”

“asleep!”

Papapapak!

The ASh-12.7mm assault submachine gun fired at the target, but it was in vain. With a dull gunshot, the head of the soldier who was firing the assault submachine gun was shattered.

Blood flowed from the shattered skull, and the excited blood slowly gathered everywhere to form a puddle.

Heeeeek-

The RSh-12 revolver aimed at the back of the head of a fleeing soldier. He pulled the trigger leisurely, and the tick-bolt struck the empty cylinder.

?

The woman threw the revolver she was holding without hesitation. The 2.2kg chunk of iron flew like a clothesline and smashed the back of the head of the fleeing man.

Iron-pudeok-

It was 6 shots, but this was 5 shots. I couldn’t get used to it. 2 shots each, 3 times. 6 times with 2 guns. 12 people. But, this was 5 times with 2 guns. 10 shots. Old habits are like a brand that can’t be erased.

I filled the cylinder with a finger-sized bullet and spun it around. Charruk-

It wasn’t all bad. The destructive power of the 12.7mm bullet was certain. Whether or not you were wearing bulletproof vest, if it landed properly, it was a one-hit kill. In particular, if you shot the head, the results were so good that you didn’t need a confirmation kill.

Ughhhhh

Ughhhhh

I picked a guy who looked like he had some rank and threw him into the boat, but luckily he survived.

“There’s something I want to ask you.”

“······.”

“Why did you attack me?”

The special forces soldier, who was gasping for breath after being shot by the woman’s question, was dumbfounded. What kind of nonsense is this after the attack he himself made?

“I don’t know Chinese. What does this mean?”

The woman took out a communicator from her bosom. A communicator used by special forces. The face on the screen was strikingly similar to the woman who was now looking at her with a languid expression. If you took away the long scar on the person in the video’s face, you could say they were sisters who looked very similar.

When the reply was delayed, the woman repeatedly stepped on the soldier’s leg.

“Kkaaaah- Capture the woman on the screen! If that doesn’t work, shoot her. Secure her body.”

“Why? Why? What is the reason? What is written down there?”

“Ahhhhhh- rejuvenation- rejuvenation for women! In the party! Secure it as a top priority!”

“···Really? But where is my gun?”

Why the fuck are you doing that to me···.

Woodduck—

Detroit.

As the sky grew dark, the sound of gunfire rang out across the road leading to the hotel.

Wai wai wai – police cars running around making loud noises, somehow it seemed louder than when I went to Japan.

“It’s February, but it feels like the end of the year.”

I thought it was because this neighborhood was so famous for New Year’s celebrations, but it was still like this. Kim Yang nodded in agreement, tightly holding onto the Colt Python wrapped in white cloth.

“By the way, I really cherish it. So are you going to use it because you feel bad about it?”

“It’s for the collection.”

If that’s the case, then yes.

Hurrrrrurr

Even the sight of the campfires being made by homeless people or drug dealers was endearing. This kind of fireworks display wasn’t even a mess. What should I say? Should I say it was cute?

Coming back from the rusty, smelly, gray ruins, even the sound of gunfire celebrating your homecoming feels warm. Should I say that the smell and sound itself are warm and cozy?

“Welcome.”

The nurse greeted the group with a slightly haggard but proud face and said:

“I passed.”

Oh, you got accepted to a medical school so quickly? Miss Kim was impressed.

“congratulations.”

Maru pretended not to know and congratulated him. It seems that the recommendation letter and essay editing sent by the Department of Homeland Security had a positive effect.

“That’s great. Let’s have a homecoming party and a celebration party to celebrate passing the exam. With meat.”

Late at night, the charcoal grilled beef party begins.

Chii-iik – The gorgeous sirloin has bloomed on the hot charcoal fire.

The chopsticks that block Kim Yang’s enthusiastic use of chopsticks as if asking when they were loose.

Who? Who is it? Who dares to stand in my way?

Charcoal-grilled sirloin is lightly grilled on both sides. It is best to grill it for a short time so that the meat texture and juices are not damaged, just to give it the charcoal flavor. What do these tongs mean?

Despite Kim Yang’s angry gaze, Maru’s tongs did not budge.

“Wait a minute. If you’re going to eat it raw, just eat the raw meat.”

“······.”

Kim Yang turned her head at the firm blocking of the floor. The sight that met Kim Yang’s eyes filled with anger. Hood was seen trying to get away from the place one by one.

“Unit 2. Where? The bathroom?”

“No. I’m just a little tired, so I’m going to go in first.”

Not only was the hood turned over, but Kim Yang was suddenly annoyed by the hooded man who was wearing goggles, a mask, a voice changer, and even gloves, completely wrapped around his entire body.

Missing the company dinner?

A two-person Hanwoo dinner? Are you crazy?

“Unit 2. Stop there.”

“yes?”

“What is it now?”

“?”

Maru picked up the meat as he saw Kim Yang’s eyes narrow.

“Hanwoo dinners are funny···.”

Maru shoves a deliciously cooked sirloin steak into Kim Yang’s mouth as she tries to say something.

Well well

“If you have anything to say, say it after you eat. And don’t just leave the hood, just have a taste and leave.”

“It’s okay. I’m a vegetarian.”

Kim Yang’s eyes widened as he chewed on the sirloin.

vegetarian diet?

Of course, every diet had to be balanced. Shouldn’t a heavy meat be the centerpiece of a variety of side dishes to be a proper diet? Kim Yang thought that even if there was fish, it would be a proper diet.

To her, vegetarians who tried to destroy the unique food culture of rice and meat soup were reactionaries, well-fed American stooges, and the very essence of evil that was trying to harm human health. That was why Ms. Kim hated vegetarians.

But Unit 2 is a vegetarian? That vicious vegetarian was Unit 2? After all, it was something that should have been dealt with. Somehow, it felt like the education was having a late effect. Kim Yang’s eyes turned ominous as she looked at the hood.

That’s how it was. It was wrapped up tightly to hide the evil nature of vegetarianism. Even if you say it’s good to have a company dinner together, you get beaten up. How can you trust someone when you don’t even share a warm meal or a piece of meat?

Isn’t that right? Kim Yang looked at Maru.

‘Uh. Hmm. That seems a bit too much?’

‘That reaction now… No way? Defending a well-fed reactionary?’

It wasn’t just any American, it was a well-fed American. Starve them until they die. They won’t be vegetarians, they’ll eat rats.

Kim Yang, shocked by Maru’s indifferent reaction, glared at Hood and said.

“Let’s take off the vegetarian mask.”

Let’s take a look at that fancy table top. What does it look like?

“······.”

“······.”

Suddenly, the atmosphere turned ominous. The nurse, who had been quietly eating charcoal-grilled beef in stealth mode, stopped using her chopsticks and glanced at Ms. Kim and Hood.

Hood sweated at the sight of three pairs of eyes staring at him. They were people who had been wearing masks for months but had never asked to see their faces. But suddenly, in this atmosphere, he felt suffocated. Regardless, Kim Yang urged him.

“Unit 2. Aren’t you going to blink quickly?”

“······.”

Hood began to lower his mask with his trembling hands. Maru, who was next to him, grabbed Hood’s hand and lifted his mask back up.

“Okay. If you’re tired, go in first.”

Maru sent the hood away and winked at Kim Yang.

‘Wouldn’t it be better if you were vegetarian? Because you’d have one less spoon.’

‘Huh? Hmm?’

Kim Yang tilted her head. Really? If it’s vegetarian, the competition for tuple Hanwoo will disappear forever, so it’s a good thing?

“Okay. It’s cooked, so let’s eat it quickly. Should I put more meat on it?”

Nod nod.

It was Ms. Kim and the nurse who nodded as if it was natural to put meat in their mouths.

Cheeeeeeek-

Maru’s eyes, who was placing the sirloin on the grill, briefly turned to the hood’s room. What was visible inside the slightly lowered mask was a burn mark. It was a burn mark.

======

======

After closing the door and going in, Hood ran to the bathroom and took off his mask. The smell of meat grilling on charcoal turned his stomach.

A feeling of nausea welling up. Ugh- Hood, who had vomited out stomach acid and dregs, looked at himself in the mirror.

A distorted face with clear burn scars. One side of the face was completely melted and one ear was stuck. The flames had burned the scalp, revealing patches of hair that looked as if they had been eaten by rats.

“Just hang in there. We can do this, Samantha.”

Hood rinsed his mouth with water and put his mask back on. Detroit’s tap water was bitterer than he’d expected.

Maru, who had been rolling around for a few days and recovering from the hangover, visited the building remodeling construction site. They say that in the US, it is better to allow ample time for construction, but looking at the current situation, it seems that this is not necessarily the case.

“If we invest enough manpower and machinery, wouldn’t the construction progress be faster?”

“How long will it take?”

“Once the modular nuclear power plant is installed underground, you can consider all the major construction work to be complete. Even if we do everything else, I think it will be completed in about 25 to 30 days.”

“Ah. I mean, smart farms.”

“Smart farms are also being equipped with equipment.”

“I would like to increase the scale a bit. Is that possible?”

The site supervisor thought for a moment and then checked the design drawings.

“It’s not impossible on paper. But is there a need to grow it further here?”

The smart farm that was just installed was the latest model. Rice could be harvested four times a year, and strawberries were the same. Most crops could be harvested three to four times, so the simple production volume alone was enough to easily feed a population of several thousand people.

“What can we do with the extra power? We have to use it as much as possible. And we plan to add more facilities related to pharmaceuticals.”

“Is this a pharmaceutical facility?”

“Yes. This is the floor where the lab is located. I want to turn all the empty spaces into small-scale research and production facilities related to pharmaceuticals.”

“Okay, what about the additional construction costs?”

“You can contact the Department of Homeland Security.”

“Let’s do that.”

Wai wai wai – Police cars were speeding down the road. The police were sprinting down the road as if a hotteok shop was on fire.

When I returned to the hotel, Kim Yang, who was sprawled out on the sofa, greeted me with her eyes.

‘Are you here?’

‘okay.’

‘What about rice?’

‘yet.’

‘Grilled meat?’

‘No. Let’s go down and eat.’

Miss Kim, who buried her head to the side, glanced at the floor.

‘It’s annoying.’

‘Do you want to starve?’

Kim Yang, who had gotten up with a jerk, put on her outer clothes and followed the path.

“What about the other kids?”

“The nurse left. Chaeyoung is not coming out of the room.”

The nurse said she would eat on her own, so should I buy her some bread while she’s coming up?

The restaurant area below the hotel was deserted. Police officers were gathered here and there on the empty streets due to the coronavirus pandemic.

“What happened?”

“?”

“You must have watched TV. Didn’t you hear anything else on the news?”

“What about the spread of the mutant virus?”

Maru took out his phone and launched the news app.

[···While the mutant virus is spreading rapidly···]

[I heard that Japan also had a lot of trouble because of this virus.]

[Yes. It is said that when infected with a mutant virus, people often lose their sense of smell and taste, and have difficulty controlling their emotions.]

[So, are you saying that in addition to the existing shortness of breath, fever, chills, and cough, there are also problems with sensory function and emotional regulation?]

[Yes. The most important thing is the senses and emotions. If you experience sudden mood swings, please be sure to go to a nearby clinic and get tested.]

Maru turned his gaze to the street where the police were patrolling. It seemed like it would be a good idea to hurry up with the construction.
