RUST -377

With a million-strong militia, the Department of Homeland Security, the FBI, and the New York Police Department quickly mobilized to steadily reduce the cannibals. Then came the long-awaited missiles.

“The first batch has arrived. It’s 120 tons.”

“The launch pad?”

“They say it takes three days.”

“Slow down. Tell them to make it in two days.”

“Because I had to make a new sight.”

“Fuck. Tell them to do it as fast as possible. It’s a race against time. Time.”

======

======

When the missile arrived, Ms. Kim strongly requested its return.

[The missiles have arrived and there are a lot of militias here, so can we not go back now?]

[Even if you don’t hear the hero sound, you have to do one thing big.]

Maru told me to stay a while longer.

[I told you I did one thing. I wiped out all the guys who were stabbing me from the rear. They were the ones who caused looting and rioting, but I smelled like a special forces unit, so I cleaned them up right away.]

[Good job. Then what about the guys who fired the missiles? Did you catch them?]

[Uh… I wonder if they died in this mess?]

[They even shot a Javelin at the airship. Those are missiles. If they’re carrying those things around. No matter how you look at them, they look like some of the cannibals. Do you think they’re dead?]

So you’re saying he didn’t die? That makes sense when you hear it.

[······.]

[Even if it’s not that guy, wouldn’t it be better to catch some strong guys to save face? The ‘Ark Revolutionary Guard’ has been dispatched?]

Did you turn this into a name?

Right?

Is that so? Right?

In any case, the request for return was denied.

‘I did it because I was strong.’

‘One thing. One big thing.’

‘One grand gesture.’

Kim Yang was absorbed. He wanted to quickly clean up and go back to rest, but the situation was such that he had to trap the cannibals and beat them up, so there wasn’t much he could do.

Are they just going to slowly dry up and die like this?

What kind of great family are you talking about? You run a famous company and you’re rich?

Are you going to waste time and end up getting hit by a missile?

······!?

Exclamation marks and question marks appeared above Kim Yang’s head.

missile??

If they want to turn things around, they’ll definitely use missiles, right?

[What happened to the missile storage? Who was supposed to guard it?]

“The New York Police Department is in charge.”

A Homeland Security agent supporting Ms. Kim responded.

[Police? Are you okay?]

“We know the identity of the cannibals, so there’s no problem. No one will relax after seeing that video. And with the militia blocking the road, raiding the armory is impossible.”

Kim Yang thought differently.

As the size of the force grows, there are bound to be leaks. But the New York police force now numbers over 40,000 people.

What if all the cannibals who are holding out now are just doing one thing? Then, wouldn’t there have been kids who lived off of them? Kids who received some allowance and did various chores for them?

Above all, New York was still a city with a well-developed infrastructure and where dollars were accepted. So what if they offered me too much cash to refuse?

Is there not a single person who has seen the brutal video and passed on the information?

Is it really true that there is no militia that pretends not to know and sneakily opens the way?

Of course there will be.

Money can buy everything, isn’t that a capitalist society? When I was working in Korea, there were always one or two people who took money from other companies and passed on information. Is it any different now? Really? Can you guarantee it? Statistically, one in 100 people is a psychopath? Are there even more sociopaths?

“We’ve got a request for assistance. They’re trying to break through the siege from Brooklyn. Their target is the port. They seem to be trying to escape by boat.”

[Tell Director Dan Brown that we’re going to the missile arsenal.]

“Yes? How are you going to request support? We have four arsenals, with the missiles stored separately.”

They said they were storing them in a distributed manner in case they were attacked, but it was no use to Ms. Kim once she got hooked.

‘It’s not easy to block things that are determined to stab you, even if you prepare double or triple.’

Kim Yang’s eyes narrowed as she nagged the Homeland Security agent to check her location information. She didn’t know anything about tactics or strategy.

All I knew was where to shoot well, and where to get through and escape safely. That was it. That’s why I was able to look at the map from a different perspective than the people who were planning tactics and strategies.

What if you were trying to rob the armory? What if you were trying to assassinate the guards guarding the armory? It didn’t seem completely impossible, even if it was difficult.

As Kim Yang was lost in thought looking at the map, a Homeland Security agent began to persuade him.

“It’s an important location, so security is tight. As I said before, we’ve divided it into four locations in case we’re attacked. Even if we’re attacked, reinforcements will be deployed right away. There are over a thousand militiamen stationed just five minutes away by car. However, if we don’t send reinforcements to Brooklyn now and miss them, there will be more casualties later.”

Kim Yang didn’t listen. She said she was fully prepared? Then, did those who had their heads pierced by her die because they weren’t fully prepared?

When she was working for a company, or working in China, Japan, or Southeast Asia, she was the one who specialized in catching people with bodyguards hanging from their backs.

[Stop nagging and tell the director that we’re going to the armory.]

“···All right.”

The armory is definitely well positioned. All four are good locations for defense.

‘Turn the crows around. If you settle down on this hill···.’

While Kim Yang was marking the map, the agent, whose chest was starting to feel tight, contacted Director Dan Brown.

“Director, Yania Kim wants to move on her own.”

[Even though I told you that the cannibals were trying to break through the siege in Brooklyn?]

“Yes. I told them the situation, but they said they would operate independently.”

[···What is the reason?]

“They say they will defend the armory.”

[Arsenal? Missile storage facility brought this time?]

“yes.”

Director Den Brown was lost in thought. It was clearly an important place, and they had made ample preparations. So why did Yania Kim insist on going there?

‘Did you think we were under-prepared?’

Yania Kim is a bit… Just go my own way. As we experienced during the groundwater quarantine operation, she was not someone you could talk to.

[···Tell them to do so.]

“Director!”

[These are the people who came to lend a helping hand. You can think of them as troops that didn’t exist in the first place.]

“······.”

If it had been a large support unit, they would have clearly talked about the right to command and authority, but there were only 11 people including Yania Kim and her subordinates.

Considering the battlefield where a militia of 900,000 to 1 million people were moving, it was not a situation where you could blush and say this or that. It was not a bad choice, since it was something you wouldn’t know even if you were fully prepared.

“···All right.”

[Don’t miss the situation, and convey this situation well.]

“yes.”

After checking the map, Kim Yang prepared his subordinates.

[What did the director say?]

“Do as you wish.”

Nod. That’s right.

Kim Yang took her place in the missile arsenal she had been eyeing with the Homeland Security agents. How long had it been? She had been asked for support several times, but she had flatly declined. Two days had passed.

“It’s already been two days. The missile launch pad will be built tomorrow.”

So, she didn’t even pretend to hear the Homeland Security agent who kept making a fuss about what she had been doing. “You tell me. I don’t care.” Kim, who had maintained her position with a consistent attitude, stood firm.

What if he doesn’t come?

whatever?

When you come?

This is awesome.

Then, of course, I have to kill him and wait, right?

I kept ignoring his requests for support, so he started talking nonsense, and it was a bit annoying.

Booooooo-

The SWAT team’s armored vehicle was approaching the armory.

[That thing. An armored vehicle. It’s supposed to come here?]

“At this hour. Yes- there are records of them trying to supply Hellfire missiles.”

A SWAT team disembarked from an armored vehicle parked in front of the armory.

Five people got off, and a moment later, the crows near the armory took flight.

Caw!

Caaaak!

Knock!

Foodduk-

!Ms. Kim smiled faintly.

[I knew this would happen.]

Crunch!

“What are you doing now?”

[Prepare to attack. Take them down in one breath with concentrated fire.]

“Are you crazy? I heard there’s a report that SWAT is coming to supply Hellfire.”

[Shut up! That thing is a cannibal!]

“Huh? What? How did you know that···.”

[If I attack first, they will focus their fire.]

It was Yang Kim who was giving orders to her subordinates and checking the HUD. Yang Kim’s gun was fired at the guy who was calmly approaching the armory as if he had a weapon to take.

Taang!

Along with Kim Yang’s gunshot, the guards’ concentrated fire also began.

Knock knock knock!

Ta-da-da-dak!

Cannibals who turned into tattered corpses in an instant.

[panzer!]

At Kim Yang’s shout, the gun was pointed at the armored vehicle.

Loud fire and gunfire. The 12.7mm armor-piercing rounds fired by the 11 exosuits should have riddled the sides of the SWAT armored vehicle with holes, but they didn’t. The defense was stronger than expected.

[Have you seen it? Have you seen that?]

“uh?”

Stop that? An armored vehicle operated by SWAT? The Homeland Security agent’s eyes widened in confusion.

As the five men who got out of the armored vehicle were killed in an instant, the armored vehicle began to move. Then, two Hellfire missiles were fired toward where Ms. Kim was.

Puhwaaaaak-

A missile flying at full speed collided with a large can of pickles and exploded.

Kaaaak!

Kyunkyunkyunky

As the missile exploded in the air, the panicked armored vehicle began to back up, but it could not escape. The waiting crows had begun to bomb.

It was a bomb exclusively for the Crow, with enhanced penetrating power and explosive power, as it was difficult to catch the variants with the power of existing 60mm mortar shells.

Boom! – Boom! – Boom!

Kwakwakwang-! Boom!!

As they kept hitting them as if they were precision-guided missiles, the ones who couldn’t stand it any longer tried to escape through the rear hatch. As if they were aiming for that, the crows continued their fierce attacks.

Three times the physical ability of an adult male? No matter how good your ability is and how fast you are, you can’t help but be slower than the crows raining down from the sky. And if a bomb hits any part of your body, that’s the end.

The Homeland Security agent stared blankly at the scene. At first, he had filmed it in detail to report Yania Kim’s reckless and irrational aggression, but not anymore.

The source of Yania Kim’s confidence.

The hidden power of Vladimir Kalin. It was those crows.

What if we use a slightly stronger bomb there?

Even now, the upper armor of the tank can be penetrated, so if a stronger bomb is released, the armored force can be considered completely neutralized.

Are there thousands of crows like that in Vladivostok?

oh my god.

Bam!

The exosuit’s arm roughly pushed down on the agent’s head, who was standing there dazed.

Boooowow!

At the same time, a hatchet flies through the air. Huh? What’s going on all of a sudden?

[Scatter!]

At Kim Yang’s shout, his subordinates spread out in a fan shape.

Enemies moving as if they wouldn’t miss it. The crows’ minds were sold to the armored vehicle, so they turned around to target it. The crows that should have been on guard were all flying up, knocking on the armored vehicle and those escaping from it.

‘These idiots are losing their minds…’

From the way they swayed moment by moment, it seemed like their stealth equipment batteries were running low. Those idiots who were full of life were clumsy at hiding their presence, so they noticed, otherwise it would have been difficult to notice.

‘Their stealth equipment batteries are almost dead?’

That meant they had just come from a skirmish somewhere.

Could it be that another armory ended up failing to even send an emergency signal?

Phew!

A heavy axe was pointed at Kim Yang.

Kiyung – Avoid – Roll – Roll – Snap – Sit down and move into a shooting stance, and her exosuit begins to spray bullets. Special bullets rain down from close range along with a loud gunshot.

Pavababababak!

As we openly aimed for the head, the bastard crossed his arms in an X shape to cover his face. As if aiming for that, Kim Yang’s exosuit pulled out the Rsh-12 revolver with his other hand.

!!!

Before the enemy could even react, Kim Yang fired five shots at both of his knees.

The bastard’s knee guards shattered, unable to withstand the 12.7mm armor-piercing bullets, and collapsed on him. The moment he instinctively stretched out his arms, which had been crossed in an X shape to cover his face, to support his collapsing body, Kim Yang’s machine gun barrel was revealed, pointed at the bastard’s empty face.

[Should I sleep···.]

The helmet and facial skin were too thin to block the bullets flying in front of his eyes.

Iron Flute

The guy with the beehive-covered head collapsed.

Kim Yang cleared one of them out, and punched a hole in the back of the head of the one who was chasing her men. Punching holes in the back of the head, blowing off heads without anyone knowing where the shot came from, were her specialties. After three heads were blown off in an instant, the remaining one dropped his weapon and raised both hands.

[surrender!]

Kiyongkiyong

Kim Yang’s eyes were sharp as she approached the guy and looked around. There was no abnormality in the motion detector, and there was no separate information displayed on the HUD.

Three guardsmen were lying around with their helmets broken by axes. Two had broken limbs. Five out of ten men, excluding himself, were in shambles and unable to fight.

It was fortunate that everyone was still alive, as the helmets broke and absorbed the shock. The broken limbs were not serious enough to cause death in the first place.

Kim Yang’s exosuit approached without hiding its ominous aura. The man who surrendered, sensing the ominousness, spoke desperately.

[port···]

Thud, thud, thud!

Where would a cannibal like you come from?

Kaaaak-

The crows, who had come to brag about catching all the armored vehicles and escaping men and stopping two missiles in the middle, looked at the chaos and giggled.

Caw-

Huh?

[Shut up! You missed your guard and are getting beat up for it!]

Miss Kim got upset.

Kaaaak? (What are you talking about?)

Caw? (Really?)
