RUST -398

Under the feet of a wolf standing tall like a statue.

[Heuheuga- Heuheuga-]

A sound that was unclear whether it was a breath or a will followed.

Since he couldn’t survive anyway because his internal organs were eaten away, Maru didn’t spare his life. As his thin breathing suddenly stopped, the wolves that had been rushing toward Maru froze in place and only made noises.

Kew-

Kang?

Even though the rat pups would have died one after another, the large wolves did not die. Maru slowly walked towards the wolves, whose bodies were frozen and whose eyes were rolling.

Kwaaaaang-

Kiing-

The fear of death slowly approaching.

Kujik-

The wolf, whose head was pierced by a light stab, fell to the ground without even making a sound.

At that certain conclusion, the wolves began to urinate. Drip-drip- A red stream began to flow between the dripping yellow liquid.

Blood drops dripped and another one fell with a faint thud.

Kwaa—

The unusually large creature shuddered all over, but was unable to shake off the flesh on the floor, and began to bleed from its eyes. The blood vessels in its eyeballs burst and it shed bloody tears.

Maru did not avoid the gaze of the leader who was shedding tears of blood. Maru stared straight at him and started to slowly move his steps, poking holes into the heads of the wolves.

three.

four.

five.

six.

seven.

Seven steps. And with seven stabs, red scabbards appeared on the heads of seven wolves. So now only two remain.

As Maru walked towards the pretty wolf next to the big one, the leader wolf started to struggle desperately.

Kwa-

Kwaaaaa-

The wolf next to him had particularly bright white fur.

A little smaller than the leader. As I approached the white wolf, who looked clean no matter how I looked at it, the leader wolf, who had been struggling more desperately than before, started to vomit with a hoarse voice.

Sob-

Kekeke-

Sob-

Ignoring his struggles, he tried to divert Maru’s attention towards himself by vomiting.

‘Huh? Are you saying you want to die first?’

The white wolf next to him had already vomited so much that the floor had turned yellow. The soup was dripping down the dried tail between his trembling legs.

Being smart means knowing about death. However, Maru stopped walking and swung his sword at his desperate actions to divert Maru’s attention towards him.

‘Are you saying that because we’re a couple? That’s amazing.’

Judging from the lack of blood on their snouts, these two seemed to have been watching from behind. Don’t wolves eat in order of rank?

“You’re lucky, kids.”

Maru put his hand holding the knife forward. The scent of blood and strange metals pierced the wolf’s nose. And the strongest of all was the smell of death.

Kkieeeeing-

Bb-

“Are you smart? You guys. Remember. Remember clearly.”

I wanted to kill them all, but Maru held back for once. After I kill these, the other wolf cubs will start causing trouble again.

If a pack of wolves, which were not even ready to die, would swarm you like dogs on your way back, you had to dance with your sword in the snow. It was out of the question to jump around like a grasshopper while your feet sank in.

“You’re being a jerk. If you catch me, you’re dead. Got it? Got it?”

The life force that held death in its veins grabbed the two surviving wolves.

Keuk- keuk-

The wolves, whose breathing was suffocated and whose pupils had rolled back halfway, let out a ragged breath. In an instant, their life force disappeared.

“good.”

Even though they were released from their prison, they were not able to turn around and run away. Both of them had their tails tied to their legs and were shaking.

“Get out.”

However, the two of them were unable to turn around and froze in place. Maru turned around first and collected the dead team members.

Two physically enhanced men couldn’t last 3-4 minutes. First of all, the gun was the problem. Shotguns and 9mm submachine guns were not enough to stop the wolf.

‘Even if it’s a flash grenade.’

Besides, the weapon he was holding wasn’t compatible with either.

‘The problem was that I was armed with rat-fling countermeasure equipment.’

The wolves seemed to have stolen the enemy’s attention by croaking from a distance, then dug a tunnel through the snow and made a surprise attack from below.

‘Ha- Really.’

Since he was a physically enhanced user, he was able to fire a gun, but if he were a normal person, he probably wouldn’t have been able to react. Only after Maru began to collect the bodies of his team members and clean up the area did the two wolves that had been helplessly shaking in place begin to run away.

And after a while, the intermittent wolf howls in the distance disappeared.

‘It works well.’

“It was good of you to save me.” Maru nodded slightly.

Dick and Dewey were tense on the airship with its side torn.

[Fuck- what the hell is this, revenge or something?]

[Calm down, Dewey. If you had stayed there, you wouldn’t have been able to escape their pursuit.]

It didn’t matter that my rambling was recorded like this.

[What if I ran away to the south or the center?]

[How? What did you ride? On foot? Do you think you could have gotten through the checkpoint? The chase? What about the weather?]

Even if I had avoided the checkpoints and the chase, I would have frozen to death before I could even get there.

[I just need to get through the checkpoint. I just need to hold out on the outskirts until the weather clears up. If it gets this cold, I won’t be able to pursue them, so what’s the point of worrying?]

[It’s simple and good. Do you think they’ll give up on us? And hold out? On the outskirts? Smoke when it’s on fire? What are you going to eat to hold out?]

Dick was right, but Dewey couldn’t keep his mouth shut.

[I didn’t come here to roll around like a fucking dog. You said you’d give me revenge on the cannibals, so what the hell are you doing?]

[Do other kids think the same?]

Dick spoke to Dewey as if he was dumbfounded. Dewey smirked as if he had read Dick’s tone.

[Do you think Naid and Kalu are different? They were upset that Rebecca had to be thrown away and run away.]

[······.]

‘That’s a bit harsh.’

Dick frowned.

‘It’s not that bad.’

Dewey’s face is the same.

It was impossible for them not to be dissatisfied with being called here and there without being able to rest properly. Even though it was said that it was because there was no one who could endure such cold and work outside when the temperature was below -20 degrees and approaching 30 degrees, it was still the case.

I understood it in my head, but not in my heart.

No matter how hard I worked, nothing really changed.

Money? What good would it be if you had it? There was no use for it here.

Give me a house, give me food, give me weapons. If there was something I wanted to eat, I could just ask the chef. If he had the ingredients, he would make it right away, and if he didn’t, he would contact me later to say that he would get the ingredients.

Is this fucking ‘paradise’?

But there was nothing to do. Alcohol and cigarettes were limited, and drugs were completely prohibited. Above all, there was no place to relieve stress. Movies? Billiards? Bowling? Basketball? Games? Seriously, is this a boarding middle school? Even in high school, there are wild parties?

How stuffy must it have been for him to leave the inner Ark Tower and go to the outer area, Ark Town.

[Most women are either married or have a partner. But if you touch a partner, it’s gone? It’s useless except for peeing. Does that make sense? Is the goal of all men becoming a partner?]

[If you’re going to keep talking nonsense, then shut up. If you go to the satellite village, there are plenty of women. What the…]

[No. Who said anything? But you don’t give me time to go. I need to rest for two or three days to relieve stress, but what if I only have one day? And even after I go, it’s the same. Bartering? I brought a padding and went, and I said, “How about this?” and the woman said, “This is not good? No, fucking shit.”]

The story of struggling to endure tension and stress has come to this point because of the traces of death scattered throughout the airship. It is a fear that cannot be escaped even if you express all the complaints that have built up in your heart.

square-

[Satellite villages, Nabal, bartering? What the hell are you doing?]

Square-square-

[Quiet.]

[No sir···]

Kkeuk-

Dewey’s mouth snapped shut.

Clang- The shotgun cocked and the tactical light fired in the direction the sound had come from.

Dick took up a stance and aimed his MP5.

The moment the two people who exchanged signals were about to move forward, Maru’s communication came in.

[The two people guarding above are dead. It was a wolf attack.]

Even after hearing that Kalu and Nade were dead, Dewey and Dick’s attention was focused on one thing only.

[I’ll go down after collecting the body, so be careful not to accidentally fire.]

[······.]

When there was no answer, Maru asked again.

[Is there a problem?]

[There’s something making a sound here.]

Dick answered with a gritted teeth.

[Do not approach. Wait in position until it goes down.]

[But it’s coming this way little by little.]

[I’m going down now. I won’t shoot until I can see clearly···]

Dododok – The sound of something running

Boom! Crunch- Boom!

Clang- Taang!-

Dewey’s shotgun swept the front.

[What the fuck is that? Did you just see that?]

Clank-

[Did you see that, Dick?]

[Quiet! Be quiet!]

Maru was dumbfounded. Seeing what the two were doing, it seemed useless to talk to them.

How did you escape the pursuit of the Department of Homeland Security and the FBI like this? Did you just run away with enhanced physical abilities? Like a lizard cutting off its tail and running away?

Tsk-

Maru gave up his expectations and went down to the airship.

Boom! Crunch- Boom- Crunch!

Tick-

Tudadadak-

[What the fuck is that? Is that a rat?]

[shut up.]

Dadadadak-

Tick-

The hatchet was stuck in the head of a rat that was running towards the two people who were hurriedly reloading.

Ouch! Huh!

When I looked back, I saw Vladimir.

It was shocking to see a rat the size of a forearm running in a zigzag pattern. Oh my. A rat dodging a shotgun at such a close range. But what about catching it with an axe?

What was more important than the two people’s thoughts was ‘How many rats are there?’, ‘Are there any survivors?’, so Maru stepped forward and spoke.

[Backwards. Don’t try to hit, just think of it as taking a direction and shoot.]

[Yes? Old.]

[four.]

As I turned up the motion sensor and biometric detector to the max, the HUD screen changed.

Then the battery low warning sound rang out. The battery was dead again. The battery that was supposed to last 24 hours was barely lasting 6 to 8 hours.

Maru silently replaced the batteries and activated the motion detector and bio-detector again. Red dots appeared on the HUD. At first glance, there were small dots that looked like they were hundreds long and lined up in front.

‘Forward?’

There was nothing on the infrared camera and thermal imaging. The motion sensor bio-detector says there is, but it’s not visible to the naked eye?

No way.

Maru’s gaze scanned the ceiling and floor. Either on the ceiling or on the floor.

[The rats dug a trap.]

[Is it a trap?]

[So what was that just now?]

Did one just rush in a little while ago?

Reconnaissance or bait. In the current situation, would you do both? By the way, I didn’t think it would be a good idea to carry two warts. It would be cumbersome to use the killing ability.

[Both of you go outside.]

[Yes? You said it was a trap?]

[Didn’t you say there were wolves outside?]

[The wolves are all dead. That’s because there are too many rat pups. Go out quietly and make no noise.]

[All right.]

Dick dragged Dewey out quietly. As they left, Maru scraped the floor and ceiling with a knife. The sharp metallic sound continued, and the uncomfortable sound spread out in all directions.

‘Look at these kids.’

Despite the irritating noise, the rats remained in place. As they strode forward, the red dot on the motion sensor shook.

Up? Down?

As Maru reached the entrance to the cargo hold, the ceiling collapsed and a swarm of rats poured out.

Take?

Quek-

The deep murderousness that welcomed them. They sank with a roar, like a pack of rats that had jumped into the pitch-black sea of ​​murderousness, their teeth bared in.

Knock knock – thud thud – The swarm of rats that fell from the ceiling like hail were already frozen corpses. The red dots on the HUD disappeared one by one like falling dominoes.

Maru walked, knocking away the rats that had piled up on the floor. With every step, the soles of his shoes felt like leather balloons were popping.

Tsk-

As I opened the cargo hold and stepped inside, it was filled with goods.

[Are there any survivors?]

[All the mice have been caught.]

The solid polycarbonate box shook as if responding to the sound by saying it was alive.
