RUST [RUST]-343

The sound of sobbing filled the warehouse.

A suppressed sob flowed out mournfully.

Sob- sob-

“Captain- Just kill me.”

“Kill me!”

Black- ugh-

“I’m hungry… I’m hungry.”

“Just one bite. Just one bite. Just one bite!”

Kwaaaaaaa-

“Another seizure.”

“Fuck. Hey. Take the captain and get out.”

“hurry.”

“I really, really want to see this.”

Chijijik-

Phagejijik-

The men take out electric batons and start to force Billy into a corner.

Several people clung to him and dragged Director Yoo out of the warehouse. As he was dragged out, Director Yoo’s eyes caught sight of the blue sky. Iraq, Afghanistan, and even the sky overflowing with volcanic ash in Japan. The sky was always gloomy. Damn it…

“So that medicine. You said that Riser Pharmaceuticals also makes it?”

“Yes. But isn’t that company in New York?”

“No. They’re in San Francisco.”

“yes?”

The men defending the key strategic point were unaware of the Riser Pharmaceuticals fleet that had appeared in San Francisco.

Because of the communication network being cut off due to EMP, the reconnaissance team is in a situation where they are just passing around the few radios they have.

If long-distance communication had been working properly, the guys defending LA would have called for support and things wouldn’t have ended up like this. Director Yoo briefly explained the situation and then spoke to his subordinates.

“You guys are blocking this place well. Send back all the people and everything coming from LA, and if they refuse to go, tell them to wait behind that ridge.”

“yes.”

“If you ignore our words and don’t follow our orders, we will shoot you dead. It doesn’t matter if you are a man, a woman, a child, a celebrity, a politician, or a police officer. Even if you are our children. There are no exceptions.”

The subordinates nodded at the serious voice.

“I will do that.”

“I repeat, no women or children. No children of ours. Even if they look fine on the outside, you never know what’s inside. Do you understand? If there are many enemies, don’t worry and light the signal fire.”

“Don’t worry.”

“Trust me, Captain. I will do well.”

Director Yoo tilted his hat slightly as if he believed it and climbed onto the black horse.

“Don’t be shy. Let’s go-”

Heeeeeeeing-

A huge black horse began to run at a brisk pace, raising a cloud of dust.

“Whew- That little bastard is really.”

“The captain who rides around like that is even more so.”

The men who had been chattering away began to check the barricade. If LA had been blown up, they could come up at any time.

A moment later, a man wearing bulletproof vest with a Riser mark on it began to move silently through the swaying bushes.

“The danger level has risen. Operation commences.”

“The goal is to evolve by more than 40%. Don’t overdo it, evolve as much as you can and then disappear.”

Geese Riser has begun the gamble of a lifetime.

The rice cake you always hold in your hand always looks regrettable.

It was the same case now. I thought I could move freely with the airship and crow, but it was difficult to chase the submarine that escaped into the water. It was strange to chase the submarine with the airship in the first place, but I couldn’t help feeling regretful.

“What happened?”

[Ah- They said there are no traces nearby.]

Kaaaak!

[They are asking if we should search nearby seaside towns as well?]

“Don’t go too far. Tie them up in groups of at least 15 and move. If you find any traces or if it seems dangerous, leave immediately.”

[You all heard me, right? Don’t go too far.]

Caw!

Kaaaak-

The crows searched in all directions, but there was no trace of where they had fled. Kim Yang, who had been waiting for a long time, prepared to dive, eventually collapsed.

[These guys really tire people out. I thought that kid was really cool, but he ran away so easily…]

With Kim Yang’s grumbling as background music, Maru looked back on the situation.

‘It’s going to take too long to search like this. What would I do if it were him? If it were him···.’

I barely escaped on a submarine. Are you going to keep running? Where are you going? How long?

Suddenly, the secretary’s words came to mind. Chairman Riser has a paranoid personality. He is the type of person who persistently digs into the cause of failure, but when it’s time to back out, he is the type of person who boldly backs out.

What should I do with that kind of personality?

The fleet was annihilated. Unless you have an anti-aircraft net like a warship, it is virtually impossible to stop an air attack using crows. Should we just run away without any results? We might meet again later?

If his personality is as the secretary said, he won’t go empty-handed.

Assuming the worst case scenario, they might be spotted by crows while running away. They will move through terrain that is easy to escape and easy to spot enemy weaknesses.

Maru’s gaze swept down the western coastline.

‘I won’t hide in a small town.’

If you enter a small town and are caught by aerial reconnaissance, there’s no going back.

Maru began to boldly clear the coastal town. The only way to win was to intercept the crows from a tall building and lure them inside to attack.

‘then’

The place where the Geese Riser went was a big city. A place with many tall buildings.

‘San Francisco or LA.’

San Francisco is so close to here that if he was going to run away, wouldn’t he want to put as much distance between them as possible? It’s possible that he anticipated this and went to San Francisco.

Since his forces were almost annihilated anyway, there was no need to push himself too hard. It would be better to slowly go down while scanning through everything.

“After searching San Francisco, to LA.”

A huge black airship escorted by crows began to move south.

======

======

After arriving in San Francisco, Director Yu headed to the breakwater where he had met with Geese Riser.

“Is the captain here?”

“I guess it wasn’t a big deal?”

The subordinates greeted Director Yoo with expressions like, ‘Why did you come so quickly?’

I thought they would just wander around until the end of the day, but their faces were completely dumbfounded because it was unexpected. Director Yoo nodded once at the reaction of his subordinates and gestured towards the empty sea.

“Where did those kids go?”

“Wasn’t the story over?”

“I said I was going to Seattle.”

“when?”

“We left right after the captain left.”

“under-”

They said they left at least 4 hours ago.

Purururung-

Since he ran at full speed without stopping, the black horse also had to rest. Director Yoo said while patting the black horse’s nape.

“Eat and get some rest. It looks like you have a lot of work to do.”

Heeeeeeling-

The black horse gave a long cry as if telling him not to worry about the hard work.

“Is the motorcycle moving?”

“Yes. But are you going alone?”

“Shut up. Take care of the kids. Did you hear Billy’s story?”

“······.”

Not long after Director Yoo left on his own, explosions broke out here and there throughout San Francisco.

“Is this an attack?”

“It’s a lure. Everyone, stay in your positions!”

“The captain told me to be careful of individual attacks!”

“That’s where my little brother is!”

“Wake up, kid. I’m near my parents too.”

“Shut up. Do as you were trained to do.”

“To your positions!”

“by location”

“Signal fire! Light the signal fire first.”

Bang! That’s right!

“Enemies at the beacon tower!”

“It’s an attack!”

Director Yoo’s men moved to recapture the beacon tower as they had been trained.

“Fuck. What the hell are you doing?”

The enemy who attacked the beacon tower was strange. He was hugging the limbs of the vigilante and giving him a deep French kiss. He wasn’t even fighting. What was he doing?

The one who was taking the initiative to kiss was a woman. She was even sleek and slender. Despite being surrounded, she continued to kiss passionately, and the body of the self-defense agent who was struggling to escape began to tremble and then sag.

The eyes of the agents were all focused on the sagging person. Her chest was rising and falling. She wasn’t dead. So did they kiss her until she passed out?

The woman, who had wiped away a long stream of saliva, licked her lips again, sighed, and muttered.

“It’s hard to bear.”

“You. Right now···.”

As soon as one of the members spoke, he felt a dull shock on the back of his head. He didn’t even realize that he was being held back because he was watching the fainting kiss.

‘If it’s the enemy, shoot first. If you suspect it’s the enemy, shoot first. If it’s hard to kill, shoot first, whether it’s an arm or a leg, and then move.’

I remembered what the captain had emphasized.

But why didn’t anyone shoot? Why did I just watch?

With that thought in my mind, I felt like I was possessed by something, and my vision slowly began to darken.

“40% will be reached soon, right?”

“···After it’s over, I’ll catch him while he’s still fresh.”

After hearing that sound, Dae-won’s consciousness fell into darkness.

Heeeeeeeeeeeing!

The black horse ran wild and trampled the enemies who surrounded him.

“You crazy little shit!”

“Go back. I’ll lure you from the front, so tie your hind legs together!”

The person who was slowly approaching from behind was lifted into the sky with a dull sound. The upper body of the person who was hit by the back kick fell to the ground in half-sharp pieces.

“Shoot that thing!”

“It’s no use. Neither .38 caliber nor 9mm will work.”

“You know those guns they had? Large caliber. Shoot them.”

As if it had understood those words, the black horse broke free of the reins and began to run north.

“Catch it. Catch it!”

“Shoot! Shoot!”

Tuang! Tuang! Taang!

The black horse, which had paused for a moment at the loud gunshot, finally broke through the encirclement and ran north.

···

···

How much time has passed?

The unconscious vigilante frowned at the headache that felt like it was going to burst. Not ‘like it was going to burst.’ It was really broken.

I felt the back of his head and felt sticky blood. If there was this much blood, the wound must have been deep. It must have been a serious injury.

Ugh- Ugh-

I heard something tearing.

And for some reason, saliva began to form in my mouth.

An expanding sense.

The fragrant smell of blood.

And meat. Meat. Meat.

My head was filled with thoughts of fresh meat.

Gulp – I’m hungry.

A terrible hunger, as if my stomach had been ripped open.

What came into his eyes was the guy who had passed out after receiving a deep kiss, putting his head down and eating meat.

‘Oh, was that meat?’

It has arms and legs?

I see it wiggling, so I guess it’s still alive?

Gurruk – As Daewon, who had been wiping away the drool that was flowing out without him knowing, walked over to his side, the Deep Kiss fainting brat glanced at him and gave him his seat.

He sat down next to the one who had been given it to him without realizing it. Drawn in by the fragrant smell, he chewed the meat. The thought that it was ‘not cooked’ soon disappeared.

Behind the two, the vigilantes, drawn by the smell of blood, began to wake up one by one. And so, amidst the crunching sound of meat, the sound of birds chirping could be heard loudly.

Caw-

Kaaaak-

A giant airship approached silently above the banquet hall where people were eating frantically, as if the sound of crows croaking were a landmark.

[The cannibalistic bastards are feasting. See? Over there.]

“Yeah. I saw it.”

It was a little strange, but they were definitely cannibals.

[Just keep going? Or clean those up and go?]

“I have to clean it up.”

Because I decided to wipe out all the cannibals. Kim Yang, who was preparing to dive, smiled faintly at that sound. It was finally the moment to record the majesty of the great next door.

Weeeeeeeelp- The exosuit descended with a jetpack sound and covered the banquet hall.

======

======

Director Yu, who had gone up to Seattle to find the Geese Riser fleet, searched the area all day.

‘Where did these kids go?’

I saw it while driving along the coastal road, but I couldn’t find even a shadow of the fleet. It would have been obvious since there were two cruise ships in the fleet, but I couldn’t see them.

‘There’s no way he went out to the open sea. Did he hide himself? Or maybe not?’

Vancouver, Canada?

“Dog shit-”

Should I go that far? Chik- Director Yu took out a cigarette and lit it, looking out at the calm sea. As she continued to burn the cigarettes, she heard the familiar sound of horse hooves.

Heeeeeeeing-

The black horse ran towards Director Yu.

“Hey- I told you to wait for this kid.”

Pururur- Small drops of blood spurted out from the body of the black horse as it swung. Thud- The tobacco fell to the ground.
