RUST -425

The underground laboratory’s central control room was in a state of panic.

[The Queen’s Laboratory is under attack!]

“who?”

A coup d’état? That would be great, since it would be an opportunity to wipe out everything that was out of control.

[Your identity is unclear as you are using optical concealment equipment!]

“If it’s optical concealment equipment, then Homeland Security?”

Only Virginia Langley, the military, and the Department of Homeland Security used optical cloaking equipment. Even then, Virginia and the military were the only ones who used them properly. Since they couldn’t attack here, the only one left was the Department of Homeland Security.

As far as we know, the Department of Homeland Security was trying to eradicate the new humans. In New York alone, the Department of Homeland Security was responsible for two massacres of the new humans.

[Not sure.]

“Contact Agent Virginia.”

It would be a nice gift for the Homeland Security Squad. The woman called the Queen moved listlessly.

In the meantime, I had taken control of more than half of the Returned Soldiers’ Command and most of the researchers. In addition, I was not anxious because I had slightly surpassed the limits of the general upper-level entities through my dealings with Virginia Langley.

[Queen’s Tower Guard is under attack!]

“Queen’s Tower?”

Simultaneous attacks?

[The enemy is armed with a armored exosuit.]

Queens Tower is the tallest building in Seattle and was her favorite of the three bases. It was left empty until the weather cleared due to practical issues including heating problems, and it was attacked.

‘Is it lured?’

‘Defeat each other?’

Shortly after taking control of the city, a severe cold spell arrived and they moved their residence underground, placing guards in the Queen’s Tower where they had previously been staying.

This was because there were people who would loot and set fires at every opportunity. They were called the security force, but they were actually a unit made up of new humans.

I thought it would be no problem since I could withstand 9mm bullets or long-range gunfire without bulletproof vest, and my physical strength was two to three times that of a healthy adult male, but in an instant, my mental connection was lost.

[The defense line has been breached.]

[Queen’s Tower Guards wiped out.]

Even though it may not be as strong as the exosuit, it is far superior in agility, and yet it collapsed so quickly? As the queen, who had been moving listlessly, suddenly stood up, the people next to her began to attend to her.

“General Estelle Lehmann?”

[Heading towards Queen’s Tower.]

As expected, I told you not to trust her. The Queen’s eyes began to glow blue.

“Tell them to come this way.”

[All right.]

Estelle Liman. A soldier who served in the rescue team in Japan, then went to Korea and participated in the Chinese War. She was a woman who had been promoted from lieutenant colonel to colonel and now general, but the queen confirmed that she was connected to Virginia Langley.

‘Are those Virginia guys thinking something else?’

‘Not yet.’

‘Then that means that girl is moving on her own···.’

If it were a normal subordinate entity, it would have submitted to the queen’s rule, but for some reason, Esrel Liman was not ruled.

There, Virginia Langley also demanded Estelle Liman’s safety, so it was difficult to kill her at will. Killing her was easy, but if support was reduced under the pretext of killing her, the loss would be great.

The Queen was patient because she desperately needed Virginia Langley’s support to establish her own kingdom centered around Seattle, but it would be difficult if this continued.

“I will have a private meeting with Estelle Lee when she arrives.”

[I will prepare.]

The queen was determined to have him kicked out to Texas if he made any lame excuses.

[General Estelle Liman and the Guard engage the enemy.]

“I told you to come here.”

[They say the enemies who came out of Queen’s Tower were chasing them.]

“······.”

Are you going to avoid it like this?

The queen immediately walked to the central control room. The iron door, which had been firmly shut, opened softly with a heavy sound, and her subordinates were seen moving busily.

!!!

The Queen nodded to those who stopped in their tracks and told them to continue with what they were doing. She took her seat on one side of the central control room, which was becoming increasingly busy.

“That is···.”

The CCTV footage that the Queen saw as she walked to the central control room was unrealistic.

Quasi-

A fire door being cut open.

An unrealistic sight of an iron door, which would take a long time to cut with a plasma cutter, being sliced ​​like refrigerated meat from a butcher shop.

thud-

The sound of a heavy door collapsing.

Dust rising from the broken tiles on the floor.

I could feel the space pushing in, swaying because of the dust.

What is that?

Before the Queen could compose herself from her bewilderment, the barrier was breached.

monster.

That was a monster.

I had to stop the monster.

“Test subject. Send the test subject out.”

[What kind of test subject should we send out?]

“entire.”

[Research sector separated. Subject restraints released.]

There was a hypothesis that since evolving into a new species was itself a kind of awakening, new abilities would not be developed.

To overcome this, various experiments were conducted, and two types of experimental subjects that achieved results were injected with barnacle factors to increase attack and defense power, and one type was injected with electric eel factors to emit powerful electric current.

The Queen took advantage of the lost control in the Queen’s Tower to take control of the subject. She led the subject, who was experiencing a seizure of powerful control, into the hallway.

Kujik-

As a large hole appeared in the barrier, the subject’s tentacles shot out.

‘Got it.’

Even a simple touch from a tentacle would be the end. The larvae of the barnacles would burrow through the gaping wounds and grow rapidly, so even the most monstrous of monsters would not be able to withstand it.

Thud thud thud-

The tentacles that were shot so fiercely were crushed without even reaching a single one.

‘What the…’

Tentacles flying through the air as if being ground in a blender.

The severed tentacles fell to the floor and began to writhe as the subject’s torso began to be severed.

A test subject separated along a long black line running horizontally. The upper and lower torso were split vertically in midair, and then split again.

Is it a dream? A hallucination? A psychic attack?

The feeling of losing control told me that this was reality.

That’s···.

That···.

“Kill him!”

As soon as she screamed, the experimental subject that had been accumulating electrical energy released a burst of electricity. A powerful blue current shot out in all directions, burning the blood that had been excited on the floor.

Phage support support-

A rippling space where you can jump to the ceiling and avoid the electric shock.

Crackling crackling- crackling-

The space that had been shaking with the lightning that had passed through the ceiling was shattered and revealed a figure.

Ripper suit?

That’s what Virginia Langley and the military special forces use, right?

Agent Virginia, who came to Seattle, was also wearing a Ripper suit.

“Vladimir Kalin, you are.”

She quickly turned her head at the calm voice and asked Agent Virginia, who had approached her, for an explanation.

“What is that?”

“He’s a mercenary from the Department of Homeland Security. As you can see, he’s a monster with a knife. He’s famous even in the military.”

In that brief moment, one of the test subjects was split vertically. Neither the crustacean’s natural defenses nor the electric eel’s slippery mucus shield could stop the stab.

“Whew- I’d have to blow it up to catch it.”

“Are you kidding me?”

Agent Virginia saw the Queen’s eyes blazing blue and apologized, “Oh, I’m sorry.”

“The agents are setting up machine guns right now, so they’ll be cleared out soon. It’s a straight hallway, so there’s nowhere to run.”

“Please leave that body behind.”

“That might be a bit difficult. That’s an important sample for us too.”

“Are all of these test subjects going to be torn apart···.”

The CCTV footage clearly showed the machine guns starting to fire. Four machine guns were forming a net, filling the straight corridor.

The tracer bullets that lit up from time to time stretched out in a straight line like lasers. The Queen’s eyes filled with shock as she expected the thick bullets to strike the bastard’s entire body.

Tididididding-

He deflected the bullet with the side of his sword.

Wooooow-

The blade, struck by a machine gun, began to emit vibration waves. The dust that rose as the bullets tore through the floor and ceiling clearly revealed the shape of the vibration waves.

The large-caliber bullet ricocheted off the vibration wave, scattering in all directions and raising a cloud of dust that began to fill the hallway like fog.

[Cease fire!]

[Change the magazine!]

[What happened to the infrared camera?]

[Check the motion detection sensor and shoot! It’s a hallway anyway…?]

That which is lost from cameras and sensors.

Where did you go?

Are you dead?

Kwajik!

The wall next to it was breached and the machine gun position was torn apart.

“······.”

“······.”

So it went through the wall and sliced ​​through the machine gun emplacement.

The agent and the queen were speechless.

======

======

The weight of the Eclipse, which was slightly lighter as the buzzing and vibrations subsided, made Maru click his tongue. They say that the shock is converted into vibration and dissipates little by little, and it really is.

‘It was fine when it stopped 9mm bullets and rifle bullets.’

Whoosh- Maru shook off the blood and fat stuck to the blade and stabbed the blade into the tightly closed door of the central control room.

As the blade cut through the iron door like butter, the once quiet interior became noisy.

“Block in front!”

“Your Majesty, you must avoid it.”

queen?

Have you been here?

I tried to use the central control room to find out where the queen was, and it saved me a lot of trouble.

‘Can’t miss it.’

The blade cut slowly and cut through the lock in an instant.

Kooky!

A shaking door.

The scene that unfolds as Maru, who tilts the blade to the side, opens the door and enters with a body slam. The figure of him aiming a gun with a determined expression and the back of a woman running away from the cannibals and one corner.

‘Found it!’

Maru’s burst of suppressed anger collided with the cannibals’ desperate struggles.

“Shoot!”

“Open fire!”

So touching!

The cannibals who were hit head-on lost consciousness while standing with their eyes rolled back.

The cannibals who had fallen a little to the side desperately tried to pull the trigger, but their fingers would not move.

Buzz buzz buzz-

Cre-rick-

A floor that moves in a zigzag pattern while covering the living room.

Dadadak-

The cannibals blocking the door found peace in their hearts with just two slashes of the sword from left to right and from right to left.

A terrible murderous spirit. The queen and the agents, frozen in fear of death, desperately tried to escape, but their steps would not move.

‘oh my god.’

It was death itself. I could understand from experience why those who fought it died in vain. I had to convey this information. I needed a trap to catch it. A huge trap.

The queen, who had shaken off the murderous intent that had been squeezing her entire body, turned around and glared at the floor. Her eyes were burning blue.

The New York City Deputy Mayor, Geese Reiser, the man who had been coiling beneath the Air Force base, the dominance that was trying to dig into the floor like it was in the New York sewer, began to clash with the living.

The Queen was desperate. She was using every ounce of her remaining dominance to try to stop the monster’s advance, even severing the ties that connected her to the lower entities.

Facing the slowly approaching horror of death, the Queen mobilized the best weapon she had at her disposal to get to this point.

The weapon of beauty.

The Queen mixed her dominance with a powerful seduction. She poured out a seductive dominance that instantly captivated the new humans, the general public, and even the experimental subjects.

A temptation that is especially fatal to males.

She showed off her beauty and bared her chest before the approaching death.

‘What the heck, this bitch?’

Instead of running away, suddenly turn around and show off your chest?

I couldn’t help but glance at it, but hmm – that’s it.

The spirit of the tempered floor did not waver.

Phew-

As the merciless blade dug into her sternum, the Queen’s head fell off, her eyes widening in disbelief.

“Wait a minute. I’m not a cannibal. I’m an undercover agent.”

“Agent?”

The blade, which had been extended straight up, stopped in front of the agent’s nape.
