RUST -329

Woojijijijik-

The attendant opened her eyes wide without realizing it, looking at the lightly torn elevator ceiling.

All of the equipment in the headquarters building of Riser Pharmaceuticals was made of special materials. In particular, the elevators were specially made to withstand explosion accidents.

Is it possible to open a practically bulletproof, explosion-proof elevator like an aluminum can? And with a knife at that? I knew he was dangerous, but this was not it.

The floor that had lightly torn the ceiling swept over the guide whose right arm joint was crushed. The guide did not avoid those indifferent eyes.

Judging by the way he’s glaring, he’s not an ordinary person. If I leave it like this, he’ll pop out, right?

Maru nodded and stepped on her ankle. The guide’s ankle was crushed with the sound of cookies breaking.

Eeeeek!

The floor, which had been treated to prevent escape, jumped up through the hole in the ceiling and disappeared.

Huh- The guide’s eyes, which had been biting his own hand, twitched with a ferocious glare. He had stuffed it so viciously into his mouth that his jaw joint dislocated and he couldn’t spit it out.

The guide, who had barely managed to spit out his right hand with his left, looked at the CCTV and spoke after barely realizing his jaw joint. His speech was slurred because his jaw had been dislocated.

“He’s out. We need to significantly increase the risk level. Use the elevator…”

Before I could continue speaking, Maru waved his hand in greeting from the hole in the elevator ceiling. What he was holding in his hand was a CCTV connection cable.

“In the elevator? Keep talking. What are you trying to do?”

“Ah- that. That···.”

The guide stuttered. So, you were trying to drag me underground from the beginning?

Maru said, shaking the water bottle he had brought from outside. It was the water bottle that was on the desk.

“Are you thirsty? I heard that when you’re sick, you get thirsty.”

“Ah. No.”

Did he notice that I was trying to make him drink through his nostrils?

Even if you’re quick-witted, isn’t that too quick?

Bong – A desperately screaming tour guide trying to pour water from a glass bottle into his nostrils.

For a moment, I felt strange.

A sound that was heard with an ominous feeling.

Ting- Ting-

A low metallic sound echoed from the corner of the elevator. Maru jumped up to the open ceiling at the sound of the elevator fall prevention device being forcibly released. The moment Maru flew up and fell to the side, the elevator fell.

Kiking- Kikakagagagak-

Kkaaaak!

The elevator fell without brakes and disappeared into the darkness.

?

??

‘Huh?’

The elevator clearly crashed, but there was no explosion or crashing sound. So, that means they were ready to accept it.

Does that mean you have no intention of killing?

Are you confident that you can catch them if you just drag them underground?

‘Look at these.’

Anyway, there was no reason to crawl into the trap.

“This is the headquarters of Riser Pharmaceuticals. Come this way.”

As Maru called, the giant airship slowly changed direction.

======

======

The crows that patrolled the sky disappeared.

“I can’t see any crow chicks.”

It was clearly surveillance. The other teams that ignored it, saying, “What kind of nonsense are you talking about?” all ended up becoming food for crows.

“You idiots. If you tell me, I’ll do anything for you.”

“Those little bastards are worse than birds of a feather.”

“Lower your voice.”

“Those idiots may be a bit loose, but they’re not the kind of guys who would die in an absurd way, right?”

“Yeah. But they were just kids who did one thing.”

“Quiet. Wait here.”

They talked about being weak and crippled, but it was true that they were also anxious. They didn’t die fighting the enemy, but ended up as crow droppings. Such a trivial death was shameful.

“Don’t take it lightly. They are not just some big crows. You have to think of them as mutated monsters and respond accordingly.”

“Huh. He’s telling me to just die.”

“Are you saying I have to shoot with a .50 caliber?”

“You saw that the 9mm Parabellum didn’t work?”

I remembered the scene where the team that had approached the roof of the building to hijack the airship was dismantled in real time. The scene where the advance team carrying Glock 17s with silencers were turned into shit.

“Have you reported it?”

“okay.”

The reason why we couldn’t retreat was because of the order to seize the airship. Father’s orders were absolute.

Although the other team explained the situation, the retreat was not accepted, as the capture of the airship was essential to the survival and prosperity of Familia.

“Team leader, is that thing moving?”

“What? Where to?”

It was hanging precariously on the roof of a building, so they were trying to infiltrate, but if they suddenly increased their altitude and went somewhere else, there was no way.

The team leader, whose mouth was dry from the tension of not being able to carry out Father’s orders, began to chase the airship. The distance between the mercenaries who had to move along the path and the airship flying in a straight line through the sky gradually grew longer.

“Damn it! Don’t miss it. Step on it!”

The black passenger car, with its accelerator pedal pressed all the way down, briefly picked up speed, but it was impossible to drive at top speed in the city center.

“There’s a police officer next to the traffic light at the intersection.”

“Slow down.”

I was already in a mess, so getting into a fight with the police was out of the question. A crow landed on the windshield of a black van that had stopped at a red light.

Caw-

“Hey. Get out of the way. Come out.”

Kaaaak?

A crow pretending not to notice and starting to pluck its feathers from the windshield on the driver’s side.

“This fucking brain.”

As the wipers move, a crow hangs on the wipers and enjoys it as if it were a ride.

“What are you doing? The light has changed. Step on it.”

“Ah- yes-”

The leg that pressed the accelerator gained strength. Whoosh- As the speed increased, the crow hanging on the wiper seemed to be swaying precariously as if it would be crushed by the wind. As I increased the speed as if to say, ‘Get off this little bastard,’ my eyes met with the crow’s. It was as if the crow was mocking me.

Caw!

Broadly.

The wings, which were about 2 meters wide, were spread out. The front view was blocked by the black wings.

“Fuck!”

Squeak!

Boom! Squeak- Boom!- Kwajik- Boom!!-

The scene of a pileup accident. A crow that had landed lightly on a nearby streetlight was croaking and looking at the vehicle involved in the accident.

Kaaaak-

The Geese Riser was absurd. When he sent them to hijack an airship, half of the personnel he sent were killed.

“What about the crow?”

A flock of crows that are impervious to 9mm bullets and dismember employees alive? In New York? They intentionally obstruct drivers’ vision and cause traffic accidents? Are you asking me to believe that?

“Didn’t you say that most birds are gathered near the airport?”

The birds mostly settled near airfields. Occasionally they settled on islands and attacked ships, but I have never heard of them attacking specific targets in large cities.

“If there were killer crows in New York, would the police or the press stay still?”

“That makes it more of a problem.”

The momentarily shocked Kis Raiser shut his mouth tightly. Because what the chief secretary said was right. It wasn’t an indiscriminate attack, but the crows clearly had a clear target for their attack.

“The crows had been quiet all this time and then suddenly attacked only our children?”

Even after looking into all the information, I couldn’t figure out the reason. Because none of the employees who saw the crows come out of the airship survived.

“Huh- Okay. So what about the airship?”

“I headed to headquarters.”

Did you get caught aiming for it? It wasn’t a problem to get caught when you were about to leave for the western region, but you couldn’t help but feel regretful.

“Bring me the doctor.”

The equipment containing the brain locked in a barrel was placed on the table. Geese Riser familiarly operated the machine to stimulate the brain.

Pogurrurur- Pogurrurur-

“Information about Vladimir Kalin.”

After a while, various images and texts appeared on the screen.

‘No proper information?’

The only information we have is that Yania Kim appeared in a scene where she said she would blow up a supercomputer with artificial intelligence using a bomb. It was almost impossible to contact Vladimir Kalin.

My most memorable memory was when I first moved into Vladi Tower, when Kim Yang threatened to blow up the building, when he threatened to cut off the supercomputer, and when he finally allowed me to come to New York.

Swish- Swish-

A black cloud rose between the passing screens.

A black cloud that moves as if it were alive

The paused Geese Riser zoomed in on the screen. It wasn’t a cloud, it was a crow.

It was a scene of thousands? Maybe even tens of thousands of crows circling around the Vladivostok Tower.

‘crow?’

It was also a crow that attacked the children.

Could this be a coincidence?

Geese Riser searched his memories again with the crow as the theme. Then the screen was revealed.

There were crows all over the cargo hold.

“Airship?!”

You’re saying you brought a crow on an airship?

Then everything was explained. Why were the crows, rarely seen in New York, suddenly so numerous? Why did they attack only children?

Is that him? Can he control crows?

‘A crow. A man who controls crows.’

As the doctor delved deeper into his memories, something suddenly popped up in his mind.

I remember looking closely at something through binoculars.

Yeah, the doctor must have checked it too.

If you’ve ever seen a crow being controlled, you probably remember it.

Porrrrrrrr – Poggle poggle –

The brain in the barrel began to resist strongly. It was trying to hide something.

The kiss riser snickered.

Yeah, important things tend to be hidden.

“Don’t try too hard. You’ll only be suffering.”

As I started to operate the machine, the resistance of my brain collapsed in vain.

And the screen is clearly revealed.

White and pure.

Boeing-Boeing-

?

What is this?

Bounce-bounce-

···ji···

I searched for crow control.

Boeing Boeing?

Bounce bounce?

“This pervert kid!”

Is it rotten even if only the brain remains?

Can’t you even search properly?

I told you to find the guy who controls the crows!

Phagejijik-

Electricity began to zap the brain inside the barrel.

Pogurrururuk! Pogurrurur!

Beep beep-

Only after the red warning light came on did the Geese Riser stop retaliating and stare at the white image.

Are you crazy, controlling a killer crow with your heart?

‘That’s him. It’s clear that he can control crows.’

“Fuck!”

To hijack the airship, you’ll need to catch over a thousand man-eating crows. If the airship is heading to headquarters, that means thousands of killer crows are going with it.

“Should I alert headquarters?”

“No. It’s too late.”

In the doctor’s memory, there was also a hacking expert. There was also a hacking AI. The headquarters was likely under hacking attack right now. Contacting them would mean exposing our location.

It was the same even if I got a call from headquarters. The moment I got the call, it was clear that the current situation would be revealed.

Hoo- Clenching his fist and then releasing it, Geese Raiser opened his mouth.

“Let’s set sail.”

A fleet of 12 ships, including two cruise ships and nine other vessels, including a massive mega yacht, began leaving New York Harbor.

The target is the West.

Towards a new stronghold for the new human race.

======

======

He blew up the elevator and destroyed all the surrounding CCTVs, so he was going to report to the higher-ups. There was no way the hacking hood would miss that opportunity.

[All communications stopped for a moment.]

You cut off communication?

[It seems that the enemy is preparing for tracking using the communication network.]

A wrinkle formed between Maru’s eyebrows.

“How far has the airship come?”

[The crows are a little late because they are cleaning up the pursuers. We will be there soon. “

The nurse answered Maru’s question.

“Send VX gas to the crow.”

[All right.]

I brought this gas just in case, after hearing stories about giant rats and cockroaches. Maru followed Hood’s lead and broke the ventilation system to release the VX gas.

Death began to pile up at Riser Pharmaceuticals headquarters.

[The elevator moves.]

[There is a lot of movement on the emergency stairs as well.]

“Tell the crows to take out anyone who leaves this building.”

[Yes, you heard. He said not to miss a single one.]

Kaaaak-

Caw-

Large crows poured out of the airship and began circling around the Riser headquarters building.

Maru walked slowly towards the elevator.

Srrrrung-

The blade that had won freedom flashed.

[Ding- The door opens—-]

“?”

“What?”

Kwajijijijik—-

The elevator, cut in half, crashed into the basement.

[1st floor lobby – door opens—-]

“So-”

“ah?”

Bukakakakakak—-

The next elevator was also cut diagonally and began to fall freely.

[Executive elevator. Stopped at basement level.]

“Send it up.”

Let me see your face.
