RUST -344
“Even if it hurts, bear it.”
Director Yu pulled out a knife that looked like a beast’s claw and dug through the gunshot wounds on the black horse. Purrrrrr- The black horse was enduring the pain while trembling.
The tip of the karim comb made from the claws of a monster cat, she pulled out the knife as she felt the bullet catch. The thick bullet that came out with a bang was crushed without being able to penetrate the black horse’s muscles.
Director Yu could tell the type of bullet just by looking at the damaged bullet head. 30-06 Springfield. 7.62x63mm rifle bullet. This is the bullet mainly used to fight monsters.
It was a bullet that was relatively easy to obtain in the United States, and was used to hunt wild boars and bears. The fact that the black horse was hit by this…
She stopped thinking and applied a new US military hemostatic agent to the wound where the bullet had been pulled out. A translucent film immediately formed and the bleeding stopped immediately. It was definitely a great drug.
Hehehehehe-
The black horse was shaking its body in a cool manner, perhaps because it was relieved that it had all its bullets out. Director Yoo, who had been patting the black horse on the neck and congratulating it for holding up well, suddenly lowered his head and grabbed the ground.
Dry dirt seeping out through the gaps in my gloves. When I try to grab something, it just slips out like this…
Many thoughts and memories crossed my mind. Where was the problem? It wasn’t easy to organize San Francisco and its surrounding areas, but I was able to do it.
Even when we moved south to LA, there weren’t many problems. Because the LA gangs and cartels were wiped out, there were virtually no large organizations left.
‘There have been ample warnings about cannibalism.’
Were there not enough numbers? Were they not numbers that could be defeated by cannibals?
There was also the vigilantes that were defending LA, and even with half of the guys that were directly under them, they were all wiped out. Billy, who was the unit leader, came back in that state.
Director Yoo’s forehead wrinkled.
The California coast was her territory. The surrounding criminal organizations knew it.
But who would attack LA, which he controlled?
If they were attacked, they would definitely take revenge, so if they were a criminal organization, they would avoid friction even if it was dirty.
‘What kind of guys are they?’
There was no way to guess since all the guys nearby were his relatives.
Moreover, it was hard to understand why the Black Horse in San Francisco had come here with a gunshot wound. After clearing the surrounding area, a force that had never been seen or heard of suddenly appeared and attacked San Francisco, his base.
‘The criminal organization has been cleaned up. All the cannibals have been hunted down.’
The scene where a monster claw knife was used to clear the ground of debris has changed to a military bayonet in the Iraqi desert.
‘No, I just told you not to think about it.’
‘What’s the plan? Just do as you were doing.’
‘What kind of traps do you enjoy breaking? What do you mean, ‘It’s like a trap’ and then you go in?’
‘···hobby?’
The memories that Daesu, Sanghyeok, Minsik, and the silent Byungdeok had spoken about.
The great sword that had been scraping the ground north and north began to dig through the gravel wasteland. In a village in the Afghan highlands. In the village engulfed in flames, Director Yu was bleeding.
‘These kids said they would come to support me!’
‘Bombing? You know we’re here.’
‘Why are you going in alone? Why are you going there alone?’
‘···hobby?’
Boo-wook – The long, drawn sword cut across the ashen snow.
‘You’re going to arm civilians and force them into barricades? Are you serious?’
‘If we get through here, we’ll all die anyway.’
‘Ha, sir. Everything is good, but it’s not like a lion throws its cub off a cliff, is it?’
‘That’s what it is. He’s a gentleman who thinks he has to survive to grow.’
‘You’re not wrong, are you? We can’t protect you forever. If something happens, it’d be better if it happens now.’
‘···hobby?’
Bukbuk- The great sword that cut through the gray snow transformed into a monster claw knife again.
The knife made from the claws of the monster cat that Minsik made became sharper and sharper as time passed. Even more so as it cut, tore, split, and consumed blood and life.
“Fuck.”
Kkack- The sound of teeth grinding echoed low.
Heeeeeeling-
Purururuk-
Director Yoo shook his head at the black horse’s taunts.
“No, it’s okay. I’m resting.”
Nothing would change even if I went right now.
The distance from Seattle to San Francisco is 810 miles (1,300 km), a distance that would take two to three days if you were to travel with a black horse.
It would have taken the Black Horse two days to get here. Even if they left right now, it would have been a long time since San Francisco had been raided.
The boiling anger slowly cooled down.
There was a chance that the vigilantes would have been wiped out. They were only a few months old, but they had to be avenged. If there were any survivors, they would have become even stronger. Those guys were like that too.
‘You’ll know when you go. When you go.’
I don’t know who touched it or what happened.
There won’t be any traces left.
======
======
Kim Yang, who had landed via Hero Landing, had her eyes wide open.
As soon as I overturned the table, the cannibals started going crazy.
Kwaaaaah!
Tuang!
Mr. Kim feeding 12.7mm armor-piercing bullets to those cannibals.
‘Huh? These guys are a bit weird?’
Kim Yang, who had been steadily drilling a hole in my head, tilted her head.
[Have you seen it?]
[···okay.]
Aren’t those cannibals brainy brats? But like some brats who have gone crazy because they can’t eat… Maru spoke as if he had read Kim Yang’s thoughts.
[It looks like these were infected not too long ago.]
Ah. When cannibalism first breaks out, you can’t suppress your appetite for a moment and your eyes start spinning? But isn’t that a story about kids who ate Chinese food and got their eyes spinning? That’s from when the cannibalism first broke out.
Once you eat it, you feel a little calmer, but from the next time, you start thinking about satisfying your appetite, which makes you tired.
[That’s why it’s strange. It doesn’t seem to be a natural spread of infection.]
There was a possibility that someone had targeted it and spread it at the same time. It just so happened that this happened in San Francisco.
[I’ll send out crows to scout, so be careful.]
[Okay.]
Crows began to pour out of the airship’s hangar.
“Mr. Chairman.”
“Okay, I tried that. Retreat the submarine immediately.”
If they see any traces of the submarine, they’ll think they’ve left.
‘It’s all here now.’
The seeds had been sown amply. And with Vladimir Kalin stepping into the mud on his own two feet, the chances of success increased even more.
There aren’t many pieces left now.
If you just collect those…
The fists of the Gis Riser, who was running through the dark alley, gained strength.
Kaaaak!
[They say they found traces of a submarine!]
“Where are you going?”
[They say it headed south?]
So, is this mess caused by Geese Riser? So he created this mess to buy time to retreat safely?
“That fucking kid.”
[Giss Riser?]
The quick-witted Kim Yang noticed it right away.
“okay.”
[Then chase right away?]
There was no way to catch the submarine that had fled south, because there were no mines, depth charges, or other weapons needed to attack the submarine.
Even if you threw grenades into the sea, the chances of catching them were low. There weren’t enough grenades to throw like that.
Above all, I couldn’t just leave the cannibals running rampant in San Francisco and its surrounding areas alone. If I just leave them alone, over time, a commanding entity, a superior entity, will emerge among them.
“No. I’ll just clean everything up and go.”
[Okay.]
Anyway, the place where the gas riser would go was already decided.
big city.
Whether it’s LA or further down to Mexico, he’s going to the city. Wherever he goes, he’s going to gather power, so there’s bound to be a trail.
“Send the Crow Scouts south. Tell the rest to deal with the cannibals in the area.”
[You heard? The scout team is tracking the submarine. Take care to clear out the cannibals. Please be careful not to attack civilians.]
Kaaaaaaah!
Knock!
The crows scattered in all directions answered.
Most of the cannibals who were rampant in San Francisco were eliminated while they were still distracted by their first appetite. However, those who came to their senses a little earlier put their heads together to survive.
“Does anyone know what happened?”
“I don’t know.”
When he woke up after losing consciousness, he had become a cannibal. He attacked his colleagues, saying it was because of his sudden appetite.
It’s a little strange that he doesn’t regret having eaten his comrades like that. He doesn’t feel any pangs of conscience, but that’s it.
“Then. What about those guys?”
“Exosuits and airships? Are they the military?”
“It’s not the military.”
“There was no talk of a unit dealing with monster crows on the radio either.”
“If there had been such a unit, it would have been declared a long time ago.”
When I came to my senses from the hunger, I was being attacked indiscriminately. The moment I attacked a person, crows would rush at me like a swarm. Only those who noticed it survived.
“Those guys only kill people like us, don’t they?”
“How do you know?”
Cannibals and ordinary people were indistinguishable in appearance.
“I saw them attacking civilians.”
“Can a crow tell the difference?”
“It turned out like this because we differentiated.”
“This is ridiculous.”
“Crows are a problem, but so are those in exosuits.”
Even if they were cannibalistic, they could communicate. If they immediately beg and surrender, wouldn’t it be natural to be reluctant to kill them? Even on a battlefield where communication was impossible, wouldn’t you hesitate to kill the enemy if they surrendered and begged?
Actually, if you think about it, it was just a disease. It’s not like there’s no cure, it’s a disease that has medicine. So, cannibals can be seen as patients with a kind of disease. But you’re just going to shoot them?
“A special force with the purpose of cleaning?”
“Not the East.”
“Then is it the Southern Liberty Union or the Confederacy?”
“I don’t know.”
What was important was their actions. They went around killing as if their goal was to kill cannibals.
“The captain also disposed of the cannibals.”
“We will die by the captain too.”
Even if I survived those bastards, it would be hard to survive if the leader came back. Whatever the reason, Director Yu was not the one who would forgive me for eating my comrades. I had to run away from here no matter what. So where should I go?
“No. If you run away, you will really die.”
“Would the captain miss it?”
“Then what do you want me to do?”
“I have to beg for my life.”
Is it possible?
You ate your colleague?
It’s okay if you don’t get caught.
We have to deny that it’s like that.
Haven’t you seen them put bullets in the heads of cannibals?
Opinions were divided, but everyone agreed that running away was dangerous. Given the captain’s personality, he would chase you to the ends of the earth and kill you without fail.
“You have to say that he lost his mind because of cannibalism.”
“yes.”
“As you all know, the captain is tough, but he won’t kill you right away.”
“Are you sure you won’t get shot?”
“Yeah. Can’t you tell by the way I went to find medicine to save Billy?”
“So what do you want us to do?”
“I should ask for medicine.”
“I don’t know who infected us, but please let me get revenge on that bastard. I’ll fight to the death. I’ll stick with you like that.”
While the conversation was going on like that, one guy suddenly said.
“Wouldn’t it be better if the leader were just like us?”
“······.”
“······.”
A clap of hands breaks the momentary silence.
Clap clap clap-
As the cannibalistic subordinates turned around in surprise, the man with the slender beauties on either side of him smiled and said.
“That’s it.”
With a low voice, the dominance of the Geese Riser now engulfed Director Yu’s newly evolved subordinates.
Have you ever been so driven by love in such a short period of time? No.
New York, the West Coast, and here in San Francisco. I almost got killed by Vladimir Kalin three times in a row.
The kiss riser was ridiculous.
I thought they’d pant like a dog chasing a bone when they found traces of the submarine, but they didn’t. Instead, they sat down in San Francisco and started wiping out the new humans.
Vladimir Kalin was a bastard who always went beyond expectations.
It was like that when he suddenly appeared in New York and followed me to the West, and it’s the same now. The only good thing is that I was able to find the last piece before everything was torn apart.
Director Yu’s subordinates who became new humans are exactly that.
‘I caught the Joker.’
The Geese Riser could easily take control of them.
It was because of his superior being’s unique dominance, but also because he had the same thoughts as them.
[Mr. Chairman, a black horse has been spotted approaching San Francisco.]
Julia’s telepathy reached Geese Riser.
“Then shall we begin? Does everyone understand?”
“yes.”
The curtain has risen. Life is at stake.
======
======
Heeeeeeling-
Doo doo doo doo-
The black horse that had been galloping with the sound of hooves suddenly slowed down.
At the same time, Director Yu’s senses sharpened. The fact that the black horse had slowed down meant that there was something nearby.
Rustle-
Clank-
As the bushes swayed slightly, the Rsh-12’s muzzle was aimed.
“Captain. Here we go!”
“It’s us.”
Purururung- Director Yoo’s cold voice followed by the black horse’s small cry.
“Stop right there.”
The subordinates were confused by the guns still being pointed at them even after confirming their faces.
“Hey. Captain?”
“It’s scary.”
Director Yoo, who didn’t even blink an eye at the sudden reaction of being wronged as if asking why he was doing this, spoke coldly.
“Why did you do that?”
“Huh? What are you talking about?”
Director Yoo could tell by his own senses and the black horse’s reactions.
These guys.
That I have lost my humanity…
