RUST [RUST]-208
Kyungkyungkyung
Kim Yang’s footsteps…were quiet.
There’s nothing to feel bad about, since you’re going to get a hot gun, right? Baekjeong was playing, Hood was in a tight spot, and the nurse was working hard for the future.
Anyway, everyone is doing what they want to do, but it feels like he’s the only one going on an outside job. I was expecting Baekjeong to sneak in with him, but he cut me off like a knife.
‘When I went to the hospital, a nurse took me hostage and shook me while aiming for me.’
‘If I go out of the building, all kinds of guys will be having a blast.’
I was tempted to say, ‘What about me? How can I guarantee that I won’t be taken hostage like the nurse?’, but when I thought of being treated the same way as Bounce, the question disappeared without a trace.
Have pride.
‘hostage?’
Let’s relieve some stress. Just try it. I’ll put 12.7mm in front and back.
joy-
Kim Yang’s gloomy footsteps became lighter again.
I set the exosuit’s automatic walking function to 6 km/h, so I didn’t have to worry about it because it would walk automatically.
However, this is my first time walking this long in an exosuit, so check. The night vision device performance seems to have improved, so check. It’s about 25km to the destination, so it should take about 4 hours to walk, and considering the remaining battery and spare, it’s decent. Check.
‘Where can you find someone who reports with such diligence and sincerity?’
As the proud footsteps continued, the motion sensor indicated movement.
Tit-ti-ti-
The red dot on the head-up display (HUD) was running at a fast speed. It was quite fast. There is no way a person would run like that.
Clang- The 12.7mm caliber, titanium alloy custom machine gun was ready to fire. It was loaded with $60 bullets per round of High Explosive Incendiary Armor Piercing Ammunition, and the magazine was solid.
Although not as good as the Barrett, the Browning series machine guns had a fairly high accuracy rate. The machine gun mounted on Kim Yang’s sponsored exosuit had a much higher accuracy rate than the mass-produced one. So it was like giving Kim Yang, who was talented at sniping, a sniper-type machine gun.
The red dot that was 1.8km ahead suddenly moved to 1.5km ahead. It was definitely strange. The compound scope scanned the area ahead.
The human mutant…wasn’t. A vague outline in the darkness. The shape, mixed with green and yellow through digital correction, became clearer and clearer.
‘dog?’
Kim Yang pulled the trigger when she saw a large dog running towards her like crazy. At the same time as the low gunshot, Bam! A head flew off.
Gyaut
Why didn’t it catch fire? It’s a high explosive incendiary armor-piercing bullet. Was it overkill? Should I have used a regular bullet that costs 3-4 dollars? I used a bullet that’s almost 15-20 times more expensive, and I don’t know if it’s effective.
Anyway, there was a need to confirm the target. Kim Yang’s exosuit approached the traces of the dog that had blown off its head.
======
======
There were those who looked at Kim Yang’s exosuit as it moved while making a low noise.
As the six-lens lens between the four-lens lenses sent a signal, the exosuits deployed in pairs with a quiet motor sound. A more sleek and lightweight form than Kim Yang’s exosuit melted into the darkness.
It’s hard to say that it’s a perfect stealth function, but the camouflage armor that should be sufficiently effective in the dark was deployed, and at the moment when it was slowly trying to surround Kim Yang, the signals from two people on the HUD of the six-eye lens were cut off.
[Charlie – Answer me.]
[······]
[Charlie – The signal is cut off. What’s going on?]
[······]
‘What the hell.’
‘Vital check.’
The vital signs of the team whose signal was cut off were displayed on the HUD.
beep——
[——–]
[——–]
[There’s something. Joe···]
As the 6-eye lens turns its head towards the teammate next to it to warn them, it becomes visible.
Woodddddd-
The team member’s exosuit helmet was bent and spinning.
A low sound followed.
After a creaking, creaking, and twisting noise, the team member’s head turned 180 degrees.
The limbs of a team member tremble.
Chijik – A small spark flies out through the gap where the neck is twisted. The exosuit sags as power is forcibly cut off.
There was something rippling behind the team member.
I could tell, but I couldn’t move my body.
I felt as if my whole body was entangled, like a poor insect caught in a spider’s web.
The sixth lens struggled desperately to lift its frozen arm.
‘Move. Move. Move!’
A feeling of something pressing down.
It felt like I was being held between two pairs of scissors.
I feel suffocated. I can’t breathe.
It’s like my lungs and heart are being squeezed in a compression press.
[I–]
S-ker-ker-ker-ss!
What I saw in the field of view of the six-lens lens, which I wanted to call an enemy attack, was darkness for a moment.
What was contained in those spinning eyes was a sky filled with stars.
‘······.’
The six lenses that had been glowing blue gradually lost their light.
======
======
Ms. Kim tilted her head as she walked quickly toward the large dog with its head shaved.
Somehow, I felt a little strong.
So, it’s like when Baekjeong suddenly pops out.
Whoosh- Miss Kim quickly looked back. But there was nothing.
Gyaut-
No, it isn’t. Isn’t it?
Tilt again.
I tried shooting the custom 12.7mm muzzle here and there, but there was something… wrong?
There was.
As the gun was aimed, something flinched on the other side of the dark grass.
Kiyung- In an instant, Yang Kim, who was sitting in a kneeling position, pulled the trigger without hesitation. With a sharp gunshot, a 12.7mm high-explosive incendiary armor-piercing bullet pierced the darkness.
Thump thump
Thump thump
Several three-shot rounds. The bullets that hit the empty grass picked up the stump.
Puccaang!
Kkaaaak!
A screaming, writhing figure with flames rising from inside the pierced armor. The enemy’s exosuit is revealed.
Kim Yang, who had left the burning man to burn, filled the surrounding area with bullets.
‘Did you sleep well?’
There couldn’t have been just one guy standing there.
Kim Yang changed her kneeling position to prone position and flew the drone. Beep- Kim Yang’s exosuit shoulder armor opened and two palm-sized small drones flew into the sky from inside.
The direction the drone was sent was near the guy who had been hit in the arm with a high-explosive incendiary armor-piercing bullet and turned into a torch. Buzz- A video of the drone scanning the surroundings appeared on Kim Yang’s HUD.
There was another one nearby, struggling and burning white. Kim Yang moved the gun based on the image on the HUD.
Maybe it was instinct. A feeling that if I shot like this, it would hit. I pulled the trigger, and a high-explosive armor-piercing bullet was fired with a heavy recoil.
I thought it would be okay to just hit it like this without thinking much, and it felt like a three-cushion landing, but the result was certain.
Creak!
!!!
Boom boom-
As the enemy fell backwards, his head on fire and turning into a real torch, the drone, having finished its work, came back and was stored inside the shoulder of Kim Yang’s exosuit.
‘What about the others?’
Mr. Kim turned up the detector sensitivity to the maximum.
I thought the motion detector had caught something, but it seemed like the wind was shaking the grass. It shook for a moment and then stopped.
Surely there isn’t more?
You tried to capture me with just two of them?
Even if they’re armed with exosuits, that’s the case. Are there really only two?
I was trying to relieve some stress by having a big game, but it felt like I stopped in the middle of taking a dump.
Kiingkiing-
The headless corpse of a dog lying in a round place where he had walked quickly.
‘What is this?’
Even though her head had been blown off, Ms. Kim frowned at the sight of her entire body shaking.
======
======
Skuckuckuckuckuckuck!
The head that had been floating up spun around a few times and rolled on the floor. Maru swallowed as he saw the six lenses that had been glowing blue turn dark.
Write-
This was so over the top I had to use force.
Is it a sword problem? I mean, it’s definitely stronger than the sword Charlotte gave you, but I guess you could say it’s not very good at cutting exosuits or walls?
As I felt last time, cutting through the new high-density armor was difficult in many ways. Even though I hit the neck where there was almost no armor, it didn’t seem easy to dismantle the guys covered in this type of armor.
‘It’s not like you have to put a neutralizer in every fight.’
The neutralizer itself was said to be non-addictive and could be used frequently. However, it was dangerous if tolerance was developed. It was better to refrain from overusing it until definite results were obtained.
‘It’s tiring when there are a lot of kids wearing things like this.’
In terms of feel, it was different from Kim Yang’s exosuit. First of all, Kim Yang’s gloves were sturdier. Kim Yang’s equipment also had a noticeably better output.
Instead, these were quiet, light, and nimble. Above all, the gloves were unique. They changed color to match the surroundings like a chameleon. Could it be said to be a lower version of the stealth robe?
‘Should I use a blunt object rather than a sword?’
Even though the shell is hard, the flesh isn’t hard. It seemed like it would be easy to catch by shaking the inside if you hit it with a blunt object.
Or maybe a gun. It seems like it would be easy to catch a 12.7mm armor-piercing bullet. Should I fight with a gun? Maru swung his sword and shook off the blood and fat. The blood Maru shook off splattered on his six-lens head.
hmm-
But why didn’t this guy move?
I twisted the neck of the enemy next to me and killed him. This guy noticed right away. He knew how to shoot right away and prepared to dodge from the line of fire. However, this guy didn’t move as if he was under the stun effect. I was able to catch him easily by taking advantage of that gap.
‘I caught 4 of them, let’s see where they are.’
As I spread my senses, I felt the enemies panicking.
Three of them had 4 lenses, and this one had 6 lenses. Was this the head?
There are 4 left. They are paired up in groups of 2. Let’s start by catching them.
The rippling space seeped into darkness.
A moment later, the grass swayed slightly, followed by the sound of a neck being twisted and a small, cutting sound of a waist being torn apart.
Gunfire followed. It seemed like Kim Yang had started the fight.
How did you know?
Kim Yang, who had quickly taken care of the two people on the other side, was seen blankly staring at the dog’s body.
After a while, Maru quietly pulled off the road.
======
======
Inside a black trailer on a vacant lot off the road.
The vital signs on the monitor stretched out with a beeping sound and the heart rate graph went horizontal.
“Report!”
“What’s going on!”
Starting with one person, the vital graphs of two, then three people changed horizontally in an instant. Nothing was caught on the tactical camera. I was being attacked without knowing who attacked me or how.
The exosuit had a 360-degree camera. So it was impossible to sneak up on them from behind. Even if the agent on the mission missed the rear, the operator in the command center could check and warn them. However, neither the operator nor the agent on the scene had any clues.
“Fuck. What the heck.”
Of the eight agents dispatched to capture the woman, three died in an instant. That was captured on screen, the scene where the exosuit’s neck twists. The neck turns 180 degrees in the air. It had never been captured on screen. It was literally happening in the air.
“Optical stealth device?”
No way? The agents in the building clearly said that only the woman went outside. But what if she sneaked out using the stealth equipment? Did she set a trap using the woman as bait?
And then came the desperate screams. Somehow, the woman knew and started the preemptive attack. On one side, the man was setting up, and on the other side, the woman was running wild.
Before I could tell them to retreat, eight agents were wiped out.
“Fuck.”
The woman caught two and the guy took care of six in an instant.
“They set a trap.”
Still, it wasn’t a meaningless sacrifice, since I knew they were out. It was a blessing in disguise if I could drive them back to their nest.
“Call emergency and assemble everyone.”
“I reported directly to the Chairman···.”
Before I could even finish speaking.
Big hit!
A pitch-black blade pierced the container.
