RUST -372

Maru infiltrated the building at the moment the bastard came out. With the stealth function of the Ripper suit and the movement that killed his presence, he was able to seep into the darkness like a shadow.

Tudadadak

I ignored the sound of footsteps and ran in time with the gunshots fired by Kim Yang. The target was the passage in the image sent by telepathy and psychometry.

‘As expected. It wasn’t just about sending voices.’

Even if we let it go for now, there was a need to more thoroughly test Julia’s abilities.

Anyway, the psychometric information that telepathy gave was dismal. That is, the cannibals underground were studying the most efficient way to consume people in various ways.

Unlike the human shakes that were made at Riser’s Restrictions for easy consumption, various methods were thoroughly studied here underground. Perhaps because there were no biology-related laboratories.

This is the conclusion I got from my own experiment.

The fact that in order to increase the efficiency of consumption and to properly see the effects of cannibalism, it is better for an individual to eat a whole person. The problem is that even if one is a big eater, it is impossible for one person to eat an adult male weighing about 80 kg in one breath.

How about saving it and eating it?

Although eating frozen or refrigerated food can control cannibalistic desires, it is difficult to expect the freshness and vitality of eating raw food.

Freshness and vitality.

Why do I feel that way when I eat it alive?

Why is the effect greatly reduced when eating after storing in the refrigerator or freezer?

They began eating in different ways to find the cause. The first significant results came from tasting the parts of the body.

The most effective part was the brain and heart. The special dish, which was not eaten, was like a monkey head dish. It was a dish where the head was opened alive and the brain was eaten.

Eating limbs relieved the cannibalistic desire, but when eating the brain and heart, something seemed to work better. The scale of the experiment was expanded due to the opinion that vitality and mental power were strengthened depending on the specific part.

What has been revealed through continued consumption experiments is that eating the brain and heart can slightly enhance physical abilities, regenerative abilities, and mental power.

Improved physical abilities and regenerative abilities were important, but more importantly, mental powers became stronger. The interpretation was that higher-level entities could control more lower-level entities, and lower-level entities could resist the higher-level entities’ compulsory orders.

The higher entity that took control of the underground bunker monopolized and began to manage the brain and heart. And it has already been two months since it began to thoroughly control them.

So, a method of consuming a whole person alive has been recently developed. The ‘San-Ze-Er’ method of consumption.

‘Tzu-er (??)’ is a Chinese expression for the cry of a baby mouse. ‘San (三)’ means three, and when combined with ‘Tzu-er’, ‘San-Tzu-er’ means a baby mouse crying three times.

When eating newborn baby rats?

1) When you pick up a baby mouse with chopsticks, it cries once.

2) The moment you dip baby rats in the seasoning, they start crying.

3) Lastly, the moment a person puts it in their mouth, they say ‘click’ for the last time.

The name Sanzu’er meant three cries in total.

Psychometry couldn’t stand it and collapsed. It felt like he was eating something that was too hard to even look at.

The information that telepathy conveyed was something you would only see in a crazy Newtube video. The emotions and shock that psychometry felt, along with the shock that telepathy felt, came to mind.

Maru, who had frowned without realizing it, started to scream. As the murderous intent to kill the cannibal arose, the telepathy was naturally cut off.

Tsk-

Maru moved the shortest distance. The images of the thunder and the information transmitted through telepathy mixed together, and it felt like walking through a familiar place. The guys rushed out, probably not knowing that they would shoot anyone who went out unarmed.

Boom! Kwaaaaang!

The sound of an explosion followed. The sound of an explosion, unique to the Crow bomb, which had a modified warhead to increase its penetrating power and explosive power, resonated all the way inside.

Maru briefly considered whether to attack the men who had rushed out, but then trusted Kim Yang and the crows and headed toward the passage. He couldn’t miss the opportunity to see a large number of troops leaving.

Upon entering, the first floor was almost completely empty, as if most of the guards had left. The control room that managed the CCTV was locked, but the password had already been received telepathically, so there was no problem.

Beep beep beep-

“Who are you? Didn’t I tell you all to get out?”

The guy continued talking without even looking back because he was so embarrassed by the scene that the CCTV was showing in real time.

“What The HELL···. Isn’t that a crow?”

“I think so.”

“Where did that come from? It’s a bomb! Is that a bomber? A torpedo bomber?”

“······.”

“A crow bombs an air force base? What kind of nonsense is that! Find it quickly. There has to be a place where the bombs come from! Where did they get the bombs from? There has to be a place! There has to be a place!”

“Because the external CCTV was attacked, it is difficult to confirm.”

“Stop whining. Find a way! Now!”

“yes.”

One guy sitting there busily manipulating the CCTV. And another guy standing right next to him, talking about zooming in here and zooming in there. Just like that, the two of them.

“Hey. I told you to get out! What are you doing···”

The guy who was standing turned his head at a pretty angle.

Crunch-

The blade that had pierced the guy’s eyeball and tore through his brain came out diagonally, then dug straight into the temple of the guy’s head as he sat there.

Quaddudduk-

The blade, drawn diagonally starting from the temple, sliced ​​through the face and the chairrest in one breath before returning to the scabbard.

Bam-

Slurp-

Iron-pudeok-

Maru turned off all the CCTVs and destroyed the control room.

The most certain thing to do is destroy the surveillance system, computer equipment, and wires. Even if there are any live systems, if the wires are cut there will be no way out, so this is the simplest and most effective way.

Crunch- crunch-

Even wires buried in reinforced concrete could not stop the eclipse. When the power lines were cut off, the once bright control room and hallways were plunged into darkness.

In an instant, Maru, who had reduced the control room to ashes, went down to the basement through the emergency exit.

Even though the first floor was in chaos, the passage leading down to the underground bunker was quiet.

It is not divided into a basement 1st floor and a basement 2nd floor, but rather has a structure that goes all the way down to the 7th basement floor. The height of each floor is almost 4.5m.

The first emergency exit leading to the 7th, 8th, 9th, and 10th floors.

In front of the entrance to the 7th floor, there was a crudely-looking password key posted, just like on the 1st floor.

‘It’s strange?’

Maru felt something uneasy.

A strange feeling coming from across the door.

If the door or wall had been thin, I would have been able to feel it clearly. But since the door was quite thick, it wasn’t noticeable.

Click- click-

Clank-

The red color changed to green and the lock was released.

Maru lay flat on the floor and opened the door slowly. The moment the door was half-open.

Ttaeng-

A large-caliber bullet flew through the open door and lodged itself in the back.

If I had been standing, I would have been hit in the chest. Then came a torrent of bullets.

Dada dadadak!-

Each and every one of them was an armor-piercing shell, as they lodged in the thick door and reinforced concrete without bouncing back.

Thud, thud, thud!

Maru crushed the rolled shells to make a door stopper. He gently placed it under the door to keep it from closing, and then crawled inside.

As the door stood open at a 45 degree angle, a large caliber sniper rifle pounded at the doorknob, as if it thought someone was hiding behind the door.

Boom!

Thud!

A round hole began to appear in the iron door, and then the doorknob part was pierced. Perhaps sensing this was their chance, the other guys continued to pour bullets through the open gap in the door.

“grenade!”

“3!”

“2!”

“1!”

Ting- Tick-

Degururur-

As the shooting continued, grenades were thrown and exploded one after another outside the door.

“check!”

“Prepare to attack!”

Heavily armed men lined up along one wall. Dust from several grenades exploded, and began to seep in.

While everyone was focusing their attention on the front, aiming for the enemy in the dust, Maru, who had been hiding in the swaying space at the very back, stood up.

Srrrrrrrr-

? Maru’s arms and steps were faster than the guy at the back could turn his head.

Percussion-

A step was taken that reached the realm of speed, and the blade was drawn horizontally.

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬!!!

The blow that split a yacht, the slash that split a building, slashed through the men lined up. Bulletproof vests, guns, magazines, internal organs, spines, arms, and the reinforced concrete corridors behind them, all in one go.

Kkeugggg …

The floor disappeared behind a long red stain that followed the sound of slicing.

======

======

7th floor situation room.

They couldn’t understand the scene they saw on CCTV.

Clearly, they responded appropriately.

We concentrated our firepower to prevent the enemy from entering, and even detonated the grenade properly. But then suddenly, 23 people were separated in an instant. We didn’t even see the enemy.

“······.”

“What is that?”

Does that make sense?

“Wake up! It’s a stealth device.”

“······.”

Because the Air Force was all-powerful, I used to find it cute no matter what other kids played with, but it was different when it came out like this.

An exosuit with stealth equipment?

‘That’s not it.’

They weren’t the ones who couldn’t hear the start-up sound. So…

‘You’re not an ordinary person.’

Are you a new human? It would be hard to do something like that with only 2-3 times the ability of an adult male. A guy who can lift 100 pounds with one hand can cut up 23 people in full bulletproof vests just because he can lift 200 pounds?

‘It’s not even a chainsaw?’

It was clearly cut off in an instant. Even the wall behind it.

‘Have you evolved?’

Well, if they had created a breeding ground like this and experimented with it elsewhere, it wouldn’t have been strange if a new species with that level of physical ability had emerged.

‘If you eat one whole, your physical abilities will improve, even if only slightly. If you eat one every day, it wouldn’t be impossible to overcome your limits. Then the question is why did you come here…’

The higher entity’s thoughts became complicated. First, it had to be stopped from coming in. It was a priority to buy time by stopping it and talking to it, or even setting a trap.

“Put the barrier down.”

“It’s no use. I know the emergency key.”

What the hell are you talking about?

I changed the emergency key a long time ago, but you know that? How? That wasn’t the important thing right now.

“Change the emergency key immediately.”

“The connection to the control room on the first floor has been lost, so full changes are not possible. You have to go there yourself and change them one by one.”

CCTV footage shows something breaking through the barrier and coming in. Something moving straight towards here, slicing through everything in its path.

It was too late to run away. He was moving 12 to 14 yards (10 to 13 m) as if he was teleporting. If he opened the door and went out now, he would definitely be caught within 5 seconds. He couldn’t change the emergency key manually within 5 seconds.

“Lock the door. Now.”

Clank-

A moment later, the automatic locking mechanism opened with the sound of a keypad being pressed.

Crunch- Crunch-

The superior entity took a moment to catch its breath at the sound of the manually engaged lock rattling.

“Connect the speakerphone outside.”

“Connected.”

The superior entity holding the microphone took a small breath and opened its mouth to the empty outside.

“Yes, sir. It’s truly amazing. But did you come here to kill us all?”

[······.]

“If your purpose is not senseless killing, I would like to know why.”

[nucleus.]

You came because of the nukes?

Damn it. I told you to be careful, what kind of guy got caught?

After becoming a new species and having a pen, it was a battle of evolution. The plan was to eat every day and grow stronger so that we could advance outside.

If you control indirectly, you can influence a large number of people, but as the number of people you control indirectly increases, those who evolve into higher-level individuals also start to appear. It’s like individuals who evolve at a certain rate appear.

If you play politics and negotiate uselessly with those who became superior entities, nothing will change. How dirty was the fight with those who became superior entities when you first took control of the bunker? How hard was it to kill them and become the only one?

That’s when I realized. It wasn’t the useless number of heads that was important, but the number of subordinate entities that I could directly control and completely control. That was the only way to become an absolute monarch.

The goal is an absolute monarch.

After many twists and turns, I succeeded in creating a proper breeding ground, and after repeated experiments, I found a way to become stronger. But then this monster came looking for me. And it came because of the nuke.

Could it be that I got caught? It couldn’t be.

Even if it happened by chance, I couldn’t admit it.

“Because of the nukes. I don’t know. What are you talking about?”

As soon as the answer fell, the thick iron door let out a scream as if it was ripping apart.

Kkeeeeek-

Quaddudduk-

A dark blade protruded through the door with a sharp snap.
