RUST -340

Geese Riser was skeptical about what he had seen.

An image that cannot be understood even if seen with the eyes. To be precise, the fact that it could not be seen with the eyes.

‘You didn’t even know where the enemy was?’

The new species was overwhelming in every way except for the cannibalism penalty.

Considering physical abilities that were at least twice as much and on average three times as much in terms of strength, stamina, agility, and reflexes, the difference in survival ability was estimated to be at least ten times.

A gunshot rings out at a scene where two people are deployed in groups of two, and two people fall down at the same time. Is this possible?

“Try playing the video slowly.”

Only after checking it in slow motion did I realize that the gunshots were long. It was not a single gunshot, but two gunshots strung together, an absurd gunshot.

“What The···.”

Why is there a gunman there, who should be in a circus or something? Even if he was a gunman, it would be difficult to catch the new humans with a .38 or .40 caliber gun.

Even if it was an armor-piercing bullet, it wouldn’t be easy to penetrate the skull, and the heart would be even more impossible. So how on earth did they kill him?

Of the 10 people sent to LA to scout, 6 were lying on the ground. In a situation where they didn’t even know where the shots were coming from or who shot them, there was no point in making any more sacrifices.

“Tell them to stop the operation and come back.”

“All right.”

Of the remaining four, only two returned. In that short period of time, two more people died.

“This is driving me crazy. I’m giving up on LA. Let’s go up. To San Francisco.”

Geese Riser wasn’t so foolhardy as to enter a city infested with unknown enemies.

“If we get off all at once, we’ll be able to see the end, right?”

“Yeah. I guess so.”

Unless there were thousands of monster gunmen, we would have won. But why would we have to go that far?

If thousands of units pour down at once, killing all the gunmen, what happens after that? After making an example of the annoying tangled things here and there?

There would be those who fled, and once rumors began to spread that the city was overrun by cannibals, all that was left was endless war.

Why did you come all the way west?

Wasn’t it because they were trying to create a base for the new human race?

A stronghold is something that can survive on its own through stable production and consumption, natural supply and demand.

“We didn’t come here to see the end, we came here to build a base. We can see the end after we build the base.”

The fleet led by Geese Riser sailed north.

There were people who watched the fleet sailing north like that.

“Captain. Those little guys are running away?”

“okay?”

Director Yu turned over the two he had just killed, one by one, with his leather-booted legs. Clang- The spurs on the heels of his cowboy boots spun around with a clanking sound.

One was the left eye, the other was lying next to it, smoke was rising from a large hole in the right eye. Flames were burning brightly inside the cavernous interior.

Wiggle.

“Hehehe – Isn’t this something you bought?”

“The kid is very scared.”

Thud- thud. Thud- thud.

Director Yoo touches the corpse with her toes to get an estimate. Her delicate eyebrows furrow slightly.

“These are not human.”

The subordinates’ expressions suddenly crumpled at Director Yoo’s words.

‘What is this···.’

‘Did this guy have sensors on the tips of his toes?’

‘If that’s what the captain says, then that’s what it is.’

“Ah. Yes···.”

“I don’t think it’s a variant.”

“You’re wearing decent clothes?”

“Guys, these weapons and bulletproof vests are really good.”

The subordinates spoke one by one.

“What the heck are these guys?”

“It’s not like that mercenary swarm that came last time.”

“Didn’t you hear what the captain said earlier?”

“These aren’t human?”

“Then what is it?”

Chik- Director Yu, who had lit the fire at the beginning of the year, said while blowing out white smoke.

“Chinatown.”

Chinatown? That grocery store shit?

“uh?”

“Are you sure it’s them?”

“Aren’t those kids the ones with eyes for human flesh?”

Those bastards who would act normal as if nothing had happened after eating a person, and then suddenly start having fits. These bastards were really dirty.

They look neat and tidy, but then they suddenly bite someone’s neck and rip out their carotid artery. Those guys are experts.

“Wood, I didn’t know that idiot would go that far.”

“You were just making a fuss about how pretty you were and then you left in one room.”

“At least try to do it properly.”

“That’s why he’s an idiot.”

Would it be possible for a macho man who has been through all kinds of hardships to bite someone’s neck so absurdly? If he runs at you with his mouth open, you can blow out his thrush.

It was surprising. What if a man and a woman were secretly creating a good mood and their partner suddenly bit their neck? That would have been helpless.

Unfortunately, it was precisely at such moments that cannibals felt their appetites the most.

As the popular belief goes, appetite and sexual desire are intertwined, cannibals would bite the nape of their prey’s neck when the mood got the better of them.

“I told you, you just have to catch it and beat it.”

“How do you differentiate?”

“Zola. I’m going crazy these days.”

“Just bear with it.”

Until then, I had been putting up with it and cosplaying as a normal person, but then it happened. Anyway, the subordinates who were sick of cannibals would start to boil over.

“Are you saying all those kids running away are cannibals?”

“Damn. There were two mid-sized cruise ships.”

“At least it’s in the thousands. If that number of cannibals were to eat just one person every four days, at least ten thousand people would be sacrificed in two weeks.”

“Those bastards won’t even eat anything that isn’t a fresh corpse.”

Hoo- Director Yoo, who was emitting white smoke, shut his subordinates up in a languid voice.

“Keep your mouth shut. Don’t overdo it.”

Director Yoo thought back to the actions of the men he had killed. They did not move in a manner befitting professional military training.

He’s good at observing his surroundings, but he’s a total novice at hiding things. The security and guards have that habit. The World Security guys were like that too.

Thud- thud

The corpse that was kicked with the tip of the foot turned around halfway. The mark on the back. A pattern with slanted alphabet letters inside a circle.

“Does anyone know what mark this is?”

“······.”

“Where have I seen this mark before?”

“Is this some kind of riser restriction?”

“Riser constraints?”

“Yes. It’s a pharmaceutical company that makes various kinds of medicine.”

“That’s right. I heard it on the radio. The mutant virus pharmaceutical recipe was recently released, and they said that Riser Pharmaceuticals and Monad Pharmaceuticals will be producing it.”

Director Yoo’s expression gradually hardened.

“So these guys are producing a potion that cures the cannibalistic desires of cannibals?”

“Ah. In the past, it was 100% imported, but now it is produced in-house···.”

Director Yoo, who had flipped the corpse over again with his toes, revealed his teeth.

“What does it mean if the bastards who produce the cure for cannibalism are cannibals?”

Huh? Really?

What if these guys are Riser Constraints brats?

Why did the kids from the New York headquarters come here?

“Multi?”

“No, this seems like a move to the main base.”

Whether it’s Multi or the main office, one thing is certain: the kids who were making medicine have all cleaned up and crawled here. If so, why? Director Yoo, who was stirring the half-remaining cigarette, spoke coldly.

“These are the kids trying to get their way in this neighborhood.”

Wheezing – As he whistled, the ground shook with a distant howling sound. Doo doo doo doo – A large black horse with a muscular body ran towards Director Yoo and acted cute.

Purururung-

The black horse that had been acting cute seemed to sniff something, then sniffed at the fallen corpse and shuddered.

In a flash, the black horse opened its eyes fiercely and struck down with its raised foreleg, bursting the corpse’s head.

Ppeokseok- Ppeokgeuk- As if it wasn’t enough to smash the head of that sturdy cannibal, the black horse tramples and crushes it with thump. Kwajik- thump. Wagjak-

After turning the corpse into a street pizza that is commonly seen at dawn, the black horse started to act cute towards Director Yoo as if nothing had happened, and the subordinates were shocked by the sight.

‘Why did he do that?’

“Well done,” she said, patting the black horse on the back of its neck and jumping onto the saddle that was over seven feet (2m 10cm) high.

“Let’s clean it up before those kids find out. Let’s go.”

“ancient.”

“Divide into two, Billy.”

“yeah-”

“Take half the kids and protect LA.”

“Yes. Did you hear?”

The mounted cowboys split into two groups. One group headed north along the coastal road, while the other headed toward the LA Port Authority repair project.

Those who looked at it from afar through telescopes laughed, revealing yellow gold teeth.

“Hey you dirty bitch. You’re finally going up there.”

“The boss is gone.”

“That crazy bitch went towards San Francisco.”

“Really? What about the rest of them?”

“About half.”

“Good. Damn. Let’s show them that if you kill someone else’s kid, your own kid will die too.”

Ow!

LA was forcibly cleansed, as the initial floor was swept clean. But the City of Angels was always ready to fall to evil.

As friction with China intensified, gangs and cartels began to slowly regain their footing, and with the nuclear war as a turning point, they began to run wild. It was literally the golden age of criminals. Very briefly.

Because Director Yoo, who had pacified San Francisco and the surrounding area, had descended with his subordinates. The gangs and cartels tried to kick away the rocks that had rolled in, but they had no choice but to escape with a hole in their throats.

After being half-destroyed, they, who had been waiting for an opportunity on the outskirts, raided LA where Director Yoo had left.

“Please save me.”

“Save the people!”

The gangs and cartel members who had been gorging themselves on the corpses dismembered alive were still hungry.

“What are those retards protecting?”

Director Yoo’s subordinates, who had laid out a defensive line, desperately protected the civilians, but it was not enough.

“Captain Billy. Get out.”

“Even if you are a deputy commander, go to the captain.”

“Shut up! Damn it. Whether we live or die, we’ll live together.”

“Those kids won’t die even if they get shot.”

“It’s a cannibal. Blow off its head. Even if you hit it, make sure it’s dead.”

Gangs and cartels. I never expected that these things that don’t mix like oil and water would join hands and attack each other like this. Even the fact that they’re all cannibals was an unpredictable variable.

Kwarrung!

Several times the claymore exploded and the buried explosives set off a chain reaction.

They crawled like insects between buildings.

Ta-da-da-da!

“Over there!”

“Evil!

“Hey, pair of ears.”

“Don’t touch that kid. He’s mine.”

A scene where five or six cannibals attack one person.

It wasn’t even a melee anymore. It was just a one-sided massacre.

The mouth of the chieftain who had been watching the slow slaughter festival opened.

“Kill those bastards.”

“Are they all dead?”

“No. The subordinate that crazy bitch cherishes. What was his name?”

“I’m borrowing it.”

“Ah. Yeah, that bastard who was learning how to shoot by sticking to that girl. Get both of that bastard’s arms ripped off and sent to the hospital. Cover them with spit.”

Hehehehe

“Is that good?”

“This crazy bitch is going crazy.”

“I feel good. Let’s send the kids’ heads off nicely too.”

Whoa whoa whoa-

Ooooooooo-

======

======

Pot!

The footage cut out with a gunshot. It sounded like the drone had been destroyed.

‘Dog- bird- cunt-‘ Kiss Riser said, swallowing his curse.

“Are they enemies with us? Why are they acting like that?”

Considering that a nuclear bomb had exploded in San Francisco, the radiation levels were lower than expected, and perhaps that’s why there were quite a few people there.

Having a lot of people meant that there was a lot of potential for future growth. Above all, having a lot of food for the new human race was a source of strength in many ways.

But. That weird gunman started talking nonsense. There’s a gunman like that in LA and San Francisco? That’s ridiculous.

So that meant they were following them from LA. When I saw people following them, I had to assume that the gunmen were in control of San Francisco and LA.

‘What power was there in the West?’

Clearly, there were no forces related to the military. It was a town where even the administrative power was blown away by nuclear weapons. According to information, it was a mess like the Wild West era.

‘Wait. What if that’s true?’

Rumors of a war saint like Joan of Arc, and rumors of a Valkyrie wielding a gun descending. What if such ridiculous stories really are true? What if the protagonist of the rumor is a gunfighter who would only appear in a biography of eccentric people?

Swish- gulp-

Geese Riser felt a strong appetite for the first time in a long time. Just thinking about it made his lower body feel heavy. There were many reasons why he came to the West, but there was one thing he couldn’t miss.

Code name rejuvenation

After hearing that there was rejuvenation in the West, we sent a person with the ability from our PMC.

“No contact from Bakum Barak?”

“Yes. Communication was completely cut off.”

I was selected because it was said to be a lawless area, but I haven’t heard from you yet.

Killed by a gunman?

There’s something missing.

Kiss Riser sucked on the red shake to quell his surging desire.

As the heavy, bitter taste reached my tongue, esophagus, and stomach, I came to my senses a little.

‘War Maiden? A Valkyrie with a gun? A woman.’

The main character of the rumor is a woman.

And the rejuvenation that old people search for with their eyes rolled back.

‘Rejuvenation. Director Yoo. Director of World Group, and former war hero in the shadows of Iraq and Afghanistan…’

War hero?

Director Yoo’s specialty was… a rapid-fire pistol… right?

Gunman!

no way?

A hollow laugh escaped from the mouth of Geese Riser, who was gathering his thoughts.

Hehehehe

Are the odds like this?

What if that gunman is rejuvenated?

It was a chance to monopolize rejuvenation. Even the new humans grew old and died. But what would happen if the evolution of the new humans was added to the secret of rejuvenation?

“Call all the kids in. And let’s have a talk with them.”

The gaze of the Kiss Riser flashed.
