RUST -348

It’s dangerous.

Maru flew away as soon as he made his decision.

Kaaaak?

“it’s okay.”

The crows circled around the falling Maru with expressions like, ‘What should we do?’ or ‘Should we catch him?’, but Maru firmly refused.

Because if you use a crow to slowly descend, you run the risk of being beaten up unilaterally in the air. It’s the same if you go down using a parachute or paragliding. Since you jumped from a low altitude, you reached the top of the building in no time.

Kujik- The blade dug into the thick reinforced concrete and began to cut mercilessly through the building.

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

As I applied strength to my wrists and arms, gradually turning the vertical angle to horizontal, the outer wall that had been cut deep and cleanly began to crumble roughly and the falling speed began to decrease little by little.

▬▬▬-▬▬▬–▬▬—▬▬—-▬—–▬

A bullet flying towards Maru, who had stopped at a building that had been cut in half from above.

As expected, they were after us.

Maru pulled out his sword, which he had inserted like a brake, and started running vertically, blocking the bullets.

With each step I took, the tempered glass burst and the footprints gradually became blurry and dissolved into thin air.

Maru activated the stealth of the Ripper suit and landed like a cat, then headed towards where Ms. Kim was.

Director Yoo, who saw the building being torn apart in the distance, nodded his head toward the woman standing next to him. I thought the thread-like connection in their heads was some kind of telepathic connection, but it wasn’t.

“Tighten the siege tight enough so that it doesn’t break. See? If it tries to break through the siege, don’t stop it and open the way for it.”

“All right.”

There was another person who used telepathy. Julia, a person with powers belonging to the PMC under Riser Pharmaceuticals. She was not a cannibal, but a successful result of the experiment to breed people with powers.

Director Yoo was quite disappointed. He had thought that he could directly control the lower entities, but what was this ambiguous connection?

Can you read the emotions of lower level entities? It’s not that it’s useless, but it’s a disappointing ability.

The cannibals in San Francisco were flocking here. It was the result of Geese Riser’s struggle before he died. Even after Geese Riser was killed and his rule was inherited, the cannibals were still flocking here.

‘It’s ambiguous.’

The cannibals were forced to sacrifice themselves for the safety of their superiors. They say they sacrificed themselves, but they acted on instinct. This was a double-edged sword.

They say that if you capture a commanding entity and torture it to the point of death, the ones underneath it will instinctively react. Isn’t that the perfect trait to use as bait?

‘Nothing special. Just bluffing.’

The word that came up the most on the brain-boosting bio-terminal. ‘New Human.’

Whenever the young Geese thought about something, he would look for a ‘new human race’. He believed that the new human race would be the future’s main characters and the dominant species, and that ordinary people would be nothing more than livestock.

Contrary to my boastful self, I experienced it firsthand and it was nothing special.

My physical abilities became a bit stronger, and my regenerative abilities and stamina improved. It wasn’t like bullets wouldn’t hit me, or that I wouldn’t bounce off of them.

‘Disease resistance, digestive ability, etc. are convenient.’

That’s a good trait in a poor environment like now, but once the infrastructure is rebuilt it’s a meaningless trait.

Director Yoo leisurely drove Ms. Kim around like a rabbit.

I had planned to kill it halfway, but seeing it escape like a loach gave me a strange feeling. I guess I was thinking, “It’s grown up well,” but also, “How did you avoid this? Huh?”

As we pushed Yang Kim, as expected, the swordsman came down from the airship.

I had guided it to land, but it was unexpected that it jumped out, but anyway, if I catch Kaljabi and Ms. Kim, the airship problem will be solved.

‘The encirclement is over.’

Then shall we go now?

Wheeeeeek-

As he blew his whistle, the sound of hooves and the sound of horseshoes approached. The black horse that had been running happily suddenly stopped when it saw Director Yu.

Pururururung-

A black horse that shakes its head from side to side and snorts.

‘How could this happen!’, ‘Why?’ He shook his head in disbelief.

“Hey- What are you doing? Why aren’t you coming quickly?”

Director Yoo reached out his hand to the black horse. Despite seeing his hand, the black horse just stood there and grumbled without coming closer.

“Why all of a sudden?”

As she strode closer, hehehehe – the black horse backed away. The guy who had been acting so cute was clearly refusing Director Yoo’s hand.

“you···.”

No way? This guy. Is that so?

Her face was filled with bitterness as she recalled the image of the black horse that had been relentlessly slaughtering cannibals.

“···I’m going. Take care.”

Heeheeeeing-

Purrrrrrr-

Director Yoo moved forward, leaving behind the black horse’s voice that seemed to be criticizing him, saying, “How did you do that? Why did you do that!”

======

======

Miss Kim felt like her butt was going to fall off.

The special exosuit’s defenses were good, so it was holding up, but it was dangerous.

[···These guys have large-caliber rifles. Special ballistics.]

So come right away. If you’re coming, come quickly!

[There are also RPGs and Javelin.]

It’s been a while since the building was razed, so why is there still no news?

Send me a crow. Are crows more important than me?

They’re really a lot, including the ones in Vlad’Ak Town, and I’m just one?

The encirclement tightened ominously. It felt like I was being eaten alive. Thump- A large-caliber bullet hit the shoulder of the exosuit, and Kim Yang roared as her balance collapsed.

[where···.]

The moment she was about to ask where he was, an ominous feeling came over Ms. Kim.

The fluff stood up stiffly. It wasn’t the murderous intent of Baekjeong. It was a completely different feeling. Kim Yang used her jet pack, feeling as if a snake was slowly coiling around her.

Phew-

Just as the exosuit was about to rise into the air with flames bursting from its jetpack, a dull bullet struck the jetpack nozzle.

Tae-Ang- Pukakakak-

The exosuit that had been rising upwards lost its balance and veered to the right, hitting the ground. In that brief moment, Kim Yang returned fire in the direction of the attack.

Pavabababak!

With a gunshot, the exosuit crashed to the ground. Kujik- Kim Yang’s decision to choose a counterattack rather than a fall was effective. He was able to block the opponent’s additional attacks.

Puhwaaaaak

Ignoring the impact of hitting the ground, Yang Kim immediately lowered her posture and laid down a smoke grenade. Beep-beep- The exosuit HUD displayed the movement detected by the motion detection sensor.

“You’ve grown a lot.”

A voice was heard outside the smokescreen. It wasn’t the typical husky and rough voice, but Ms. Kim could tell. The owner of the voice was Director Yoo.

“Baekrin? Back in my day, I used to carry this all the time···.”

That damn latte. Kim Yang reflexively pulled the trigger at the memory of the old days.

Tudadadang!

After answering with a bullet, Ms. Kim lay flat on the floor.

A moment of silence. Was it right? Wasn’t it right? If she was a girl who would be shot blindly, she wouldn’t have gone through all that trouble.

“You’re not lying flat on your stomach like a cockroach, are you?”

As expected, a response came right away.

[······.]

Kim Yang cursed inwardly. This was foul play. It wasn’t even 1:1, and they were surrounded, and that lady shouldn’t have come.

Why on earth are you doing this to me? Director Yoo said softly, as if he had noticed the quiet cry.

“I have to control you, the swordsman will come here right away without doing anything in vain.”

This lady is really. Am I that easy? Why does the world’s best director Yu have such a long tongue! If you’re old, just hurry up and leave!

Kim Yang’s nervous gunfire pierced the white smoke.

Beep- Beep- Beep- One of the red dots on the HUD disappeared. Did I get it right? A moment later, another red dot disappeared.

come!

Kim Yang quickly changed the magazine and started shooting in all directions. This made the guys’ attention turn to this side.

The lady is dead now.

Hee-juk-

Director Yoo moved leisurely even as bullets flew in all directions. His physical abilities had improved, which meant his senses had also improved. He could vividly feel Kim Yang’s movements as she wriggled through the smoke.

hmm?

For a moment, it felt like a thin thread connecting my head had snapped. A moment later, another one. That meant the knife-wielder had come.

I thought that if I pressured Miss Kim, she would just rush in, but she turned around and tried to cut it using Miss Kim as bait? The kids were unexpected in many ways.

As if he realized that the knife-wielding man had come, Kim Yang, who was lying flat on her stomach like a cockroach, started crawling and shooting noisily.

“Tighten it so it can’t escape from the forest.”

“··· All right.”

If the energy runs out, the exosuit will just become a prison. The order is to attack strongly as long as you stay alive even if your limbs are torn off.

“If you catch it, you infect it right away.”

“yes.”

Looking at the information on the Geese Riser, the guy was ready to kill all the cannibals.

If Miss Kim gets infected, will she be killed? If all the kids on the airship turn into cannibals? Will they all be killed?

Are you enemies with the cannibals?

So what could you give up to get revenge? Could you give up everything? It was something to be seen.

“The swordsman is coming from behind. Be alert and move in groups of three.”

“Delivered.”

Why did you choose the dirty cannibal?

Because I don’t have to lose. Because I can get revenge. Because if I succeed in the inheritance, I can absorb everything that Geese Raiser left behind. And I can cherish the little ones. For a long time to come.

“Step back. It’s coming.”

As soon as Director Yoo finished speaking, a diagonal line was drawn on the giant tree. A presence was felt behind the tree that fell with a heavy sound.

Whirik-tang-tadatang

Oh my gosh-

As the 12.7mm special bullet struck the side of the sword, a broken bell sounded. Eclipse’s blade, which had absorbed the impact, began to vibrate madly.

I blocked three shots, but two grazed me. Blood spurted out from the spot where the large-caliber special bullets had hit me. Crazy rapid fire. If I had only one gun, I would have rushed at him, but Director Yoo was carrying three guns.

Yeah- woooooo-

Ting-tidding-

The sound of the blade and the sound of the bullet hitting the floor were mixed together. Miss Kim was a dirty woman. How about a knife?

Director Yoo leisurely reloaded his bullets and asked while putting the Rsh-12 into his holster.

“Not coming?”

“······.”

Information from the brain of the Geese Riser. Maru’s behavior was strange. Could this sinister brat be one of his kind?

“I was curious when I saw this. What do you want?”

What do you want that makes you live like that?

In response to Director Yoo’s question, Maru chose to move forward.

Blame – One step forward.

And then the second step. The 25m distance was shortened in an instant, and the distance widened like the first time.

Director Yoo, who had walked 25 meters away from him like himself, muttered while pulling out a cigarette and putting it in his mouth.

“You’re a spoiled brat.”

The sight of Maru putting an ampoule into Director Yoo’s pupil came into view.

“Hah- Even medicine?”

Before the voice of disbelief could disperse into the air, Maru’s figure disappeared from sight. At the same time, a gunshot rang out.

One step.

Oh my gosh-

A floor that moves diagonally by taking advantage of the shock of being pushed back.

Tuaaaang-

Two feet.

Even though I tilted my sword as far as I could, the shock was not completely relieved. As if a sailing ship was racing against the wind, I flew diagonally in the opposite direction. As if they had predicted that I would move like that, two bullets flew at me.

Jj-jjjjjjjjjj-

One was blocked, but the center of gravity was thrown off by the subsequent strikes that followed almost simultaneously.

‘This fucking old hag!’

Maru let out his breath. He could feel the movements of the cannibals who were trying to surround him slowly stiffening as the pent-up murderous intent spread out.

It is now.

asleep!

What Maru saw as he shot forward with a grin was Director Yu’s face. In front of the vertically raised blade was the barrel of a gun.

Moved through the living?

The blade was already coming down.

A blow with the intention of splitting it in half.

As time passed slowly, the ball, which had been tilted back, moved forward little by little. I could tell that the muzzle was firing faster than the blade was falling.

bang!

Buhwaaaaah!

A bullet shattered Maru’s helmet. Blood dripped from the broken helmet.

As if the blood droplets were continuing, they flowed down the tip of the sword on the floor.
