RUST [RUST]-342

I felt a bit uneasy.

It didn’t always feel like this, but if I started feeling uneasy, there was almost always a reason.

[Submarine? Then it’s alive?]

The head is mine. Kim Yang was fired up as she put on the exosuit.

It was a conscious action to record his great performance on video so that he could save face as the great next doorman, but Maru couldn’t figure it out.

‘Why are you so motivated all of a sudden?’

Maru blinked at Kim Yang’s blazing stance. Kim Yang turned her head slightly and explained further.

[The kids are making a lot of noise these days.]

The crows are saying that the great next door is water. Looking at the way they are doing now, it is obvious that they will stand up their necks and feathers, but should we just watch that happen?

“Birdsong?”

A crow is a bird? Are you annoyed because a bird makes a bird sound?

[That’s right. Just like that.]

I thought they were just a bunch of guys who could do nothing since they had a fleet of cruise ships, but they can’t even withstand a crow bombing?

I expected that they would somehow block the crows. Then I was going to descend with a hero landing and sweep them away nicely…

Thump thump.

Kkiyungkkiyung.

Thump thump.

[Preparing to descend.]

So, let’s find the submarine quickly. Quickly. Quickly. Right now.

Maru swallowed a hollow laugh at the spirit radiating from Kim Yang’s appearance.

“What is the damage to the crows?”

[I was injured twenty-seven years ago. I don’t think I’ll be hurt too badly, so I think I’ll be fine if I get treatment and recuperate.]

The nurse also spoke in a pious, courtly tone after the church rescue incident, but she seemed to have toned it down a bit recently and started talking in a roundabout way like before.

Although it is sometimes mixed like this and that, it is still much more pleasant to listen to than the full-on cursive font.

“How did that happen?”

[When I got inside the cockpit. There, most of the people were injured by the counterattack, and the rest were injured because they threw their grenades too late.]

Have you been watching too many action movies? Throwing a grenade while holding it for 3 seconds? Oh my god.

By the way, that submarine guy, Geese Riser, died nicely, he was tiring people out.

“Send the reserve forces to change their weapons and sortie. They’re small submarines mounted on yachts, so they probably can’t go very far.”

[Okay, you heard me. Lightly armed, search and trace mission. Get ready.]

Kaaaak-

Knock!

Buzz buzz buzz

Geese Riser’s hands were shaking without him knowing it.

It wasn’t because of fear, but because of anger. It was a pain that felt like my heart was being squeezed by humiliation.

‘Fuck! Fuck! FUCK!’

He clasped his hands together to suppress his trembling and took a deep breath.

“Dive to maximum depth.”

“Initiating dive to maximum depth.”

The maximum depth was 70 to 80 feet (21 to 24 m), but it was deep enough for the current situation. Just as this side could not attack the other side, the other side could not attack either.

“We are out of the danger zone.”

“Huh- Okay.”

More than 10,000 new humans, including the staff and their families, were annihilated.

‘There are about 40 people in 4 submarines.’

Of the four submarines, two were literally small submarines. That means they couldn’t go far. The only equipment they brought with them was a laptop with research records and a biometric terminal.

‘It’s fortunate that I brought along a bio-terminal made from the doctor’s brain.’

All the equipment and professional personnel that had been ambitiously prepared to establish a new human base were all taken away. I knew the Air Force was scary, but what is this? A crow in the Air Force?

‘You fucking treat that crow like that.’

This must have been the feeling of futility felt by the Iraqi army. Geese Riser closed his eyes and collected his thoughts.

Why did Vladimir Maru run from New York to the West Coast?

plural?

Secretary Team 1, did your beloved subordinate die in the fight with Nina Logan?

If revenge was the goal, the moment the fleet was destroyed, he would have returned, having satisfied his desire for revenge.

What if the goal is not revenge, but annihilation?

A search and chase will follow. It will most likely be a search and chase using crows.

‘This is the worst.’

The habit of preparing for the worst.

That’s why the Geese Riser has survived until now.

His obsession, which bordered on obsession, allowed him to beat out all of his brothers and rise to the position of chairman, but even he could not have predicted the current situation.

‘Vladimir Kalin. The crow.’

The Geese Riser carried the shame deep in his heart. To avenge this shame, he had to rebuild his power.

Unless you want to rebuild your power by being driven by beastly appetites, you need things like medicine and equipment.

Fortunately, the sea where the fleet sank was calm.

‘It wasn’t a place where the water was very deep.’

Then there was some possibility of recovery. No, it had to be recovered, no matter how much. Since they were no longer available.

The gasser took a deep breath.

If you think about it, it wasn’t just four submarines. There were four submarines that survived that terrible air raid. The main personnel and close guards also survived.

Above all else.

Didn’t the Geese Riser himself survive?

If so, there was always a chance.

Opportunity is···.

How can I seize that opportunity?

Returning to the forces that left control of the Panama Canal?

Dismissed.

It’s impossible to get there by submarine.

The same goes for returning to the cocoon in the eastern region.

‘Power. We must secure power first.’

Starting now, we will increase the number of new humans by infecting them one by one? When will it happen? Director Yu was also infected.

Wait···.

‘Director Yoo?’

His heart, once filled with anger, was soon dyed with greed, but Geese Riser held onto his senses.

The original plan had to be scrapped. Capturing Director Yu would be meaningless if all the equipment had been confiscated.

then···.

“I’m going to LA.”

The chief secretary didn’t say anything like, ‘LA is probably fighting criminals and Director Yoo, right?’ The chairman’s eyes were the eyes of someone who was betting on a match.

He just believed and followed. And when the master he served had eyes like that, he was never defeated even once.

“Okay, everyone, let’s head to South LA.”

Four submarines disappeared silently towards the City of Angels to the south.

======

======

After Director Yoo’s men were wiped out, LA became a living hell. Cannibals who had unleashed their carnivorous instincts held parties all over the city.

“You all look so fat. You must have had a full stomach and warm backs, even though you are livestock.”

“그렇습니다. 애새끼들 볼이 통통한 걸 보니 미친년이 잘 챙겼나 봅니다.”

One of the guys who was laughing out loud blurted out,

“That girl must be going crazy by now.”

“If you received a gift from the boss, then so be it.”

“Wouldn’t you have been so surprised that you fainted?”

“She must have been foaming at the mouth because she was such a bitter bitch.”

The boss felt good about his subordinates’ teasing.

The tingling sensation has been getting worse lately. How should I put it? It feels like I’m connected to my subordinates by a thin string.

You know those toys called paper cup phones, string phones? I felt like I was connected to something like that.

Behind that bizarre feeling, he saw rough guys with all sorts of serious crimes, including murder, crawling in front of him.

All the gangsters, cartel members, and cannibals have fallen at his feet. Isn’t that true power?

“Boss. There’s a submarine in the harbor. No, it’s a submarine.”

“Submarines? Are there things like that these days?”

“I guess he’s a rich kid.”

“That kid is so comfortable inside. Is he still playing around leisurely these days?”

If there’s something that good, shouldn’t we save it, share it, and dedicate it?

“Kids. How about a cruise on the ocean for lunch today?”

Ow. Ow. Ow-

Woof woof woof woof-

At the wharf where everyone was rushing, four submarines, two large and two small, were anchored with their heads sticking out.

“Hey. Over there!”

“Yeah, you there.”

“Who here is pushing something like this without permission? Huh?”

“In today’s world, you don’t know that you can get one per hour for parking…?”

The men who were heading towards the submarine suddenly froze as if they had seen a snake.

“Hey. Why are they doing that?”

“I don’t know?”

The boss felt as if something like a string had snapped in his head. Something that was long and thin and connected to his subordinates who had gone to where the submarine was had definitely snapped.

‘no way.’

Literally, it was just a feeling. It didn’t seem like anything was really happening.

“Take the kids.”

“yeah.”

The boss sent out his immediate subordinates. The rough guys rushed in.

The men who had been running with swords and guns in their hands, not hiding their menacing aura that they would wipe them out if anything happened, suddenly stopped in their tracks. Like unwound dolls.

Bam-

At the same time, something snapped in the boss’s head.

obviously.

It wasn’t just a feeling.

A sense of loss. A feeling of emptiness at having been taken away. Above all, fear.

Where the submarine is. There must have been something on one side that wasn’t visible from here. Something that caused this.

“Fuck.”

The leader began to back away without realizing it. And as he backed away, someone appeared from where the submarine was anchored. Slowly.

“This was half a penny.”

“Yes, sir.”

Half-penny? Chairman? I don’t know what those guys are, but they were dangerous.

The leader’s backpedaling soon turned into a backwards gait, and soon became a desperate escape.

Babababak-

The boss’s leaps were incredibly fast, like a cockroach that would display several times its normal abilities when faced with a crisis, but they were meaningless. The Riser Pharmaceuticals bodyguards were already waiting, cutting off the escape route.

The sound of footsteps thumping behind him. The boss didn’t look back. It felt like everything would end the moment he looked back.

“You. What are you? What do you want? What do you want?”

He protested to the bodyguards blocking his escape route, but the bodyguards wearing black sunglasses remained expressionless.

“Don’t feel bad. I need some help urgently.”

The voice of the Kiss Riser was heard.

“And what did he say? The crazy bitch story. I’m kind of interested in that girl.”

“······.”

Like a rat before a snake, the boss could not resist.

A higher being, an irresistible being, was suppressing him.

“마. 말씀하십쇼. 다 말해드리겠습니다. 그 미친년이요? 그년은 독하지만, 제 새끼는 끔찍하게 아끼는 년···.”

The leader lowered his head and continued to talk, but Geese Raiser remained expressionless.

“Sorry, I don’t have any interest in having a yellow sprout below me.”

Phew-

A long tentacle-like device was stuck on the back of the leader’s head.

Kkeuk-

Porrrrrrrr – The sound of air bubbles echoed from the bio-terminal made from the doctor’s brain.

Burur- The boss started rolling his eyes, foaming at the mouth and collapsing, at the same time text began to appear on the screen.

A strange smile appeared on Geese Riser’s face when he saw that.

======

======

Director Yoo’s voice became cold.

“Get out of the way.”

“Captain. Don’t look.”

“Get out of the way.”

“There is a medicine in the Confederacy.”

“They say that if you take medicine, it will get better···.”

“The kids went to get it. You can see it when they get back. Okay?”

“Get out, you little shit.”

It felt like he had kicked me lightly, but my subordinates were left floating in the air, struggling and falling like dominoes.

Still, the subordinates who had been lying there in a daze shouted desperately at Director Yoo’s back as he entered the warehouse, wondering if anything had burst or broken.

“colon!”

“Hey, fuck!”

“I’m really stubborn.”

“Don’t go in!”

Leaving behind the voices of his subordinates, what caught Director Yu’s eye was Billy, wrapped in iron chains all over his body.

“Billy?”

“···Captain?”

Gulp-

Billy wiped the drool that flowed without his knowledge with his sleeve and made a sad expression. There was nothing that should have been on his sleeve. His wrist.

Gulp-

Sigh–

“Captain. Because of me… I couldn’t protect the children.”

“Who are you?”

“That. That···.”

Director Yoo quickly approached at the sound of the crawling voice.

“who is this?”

“······.”

Director Yoo placed his hand on Billy’s shoulder as he glanced around.

“which···?!”

The mouth opened wide, aiming at Director Yoo’s arm.

Thud!

Billy’s eyes, which had been biting the air, sparkled with appetite as if he had never felt guilty before.

Gulp-

Swish-

“Ah- Captain. This. This is it.”

“······.”

“This is···.”

Bang! Billy, whose whole body was blown away, opened his mouth wide and screamed, “Kuaaaa!”

Clank! Clank! The sound of chains being pulled taut echoed throughout the room.

Ugh-

Kwaaaaah!

Billy opens his mouth like crazy towards Director Yoo, who has suddenly fallen out of the gap.

Swish- Director Yoo’s hand went to the gun handle on his waist.

Rsh-12. Russian-made revolver. 5-shot 12.7mm caliber. Loaded with armor-piercing incendiary bullets.

The subordinates teased Director Yoo about when he came in.

“That’s why I told you not to look.”

“I told you I went to get some medicine.”

“Didn’t you say you heard it on the radio last time?”

“Many pharmaceutical companies make medicine.”

Clank! Clank!

The sound of chains began to mix with the sound of sobbing.
