RUST -430

As the sticky blood spilled by the naked man began to move like a living jelly, the excited blood around him was drawn in as if being absorbed by the jelly.

‘What is that?’

As the blood-absorbing Jelly returns to the demons, their bodies, torn and punctured here and there by armor-piercing bullets, are reconstructed.

Where have I seen it?

like.

okay.

A guy who healed his wounds during the mutation.

That was about the same speed.

[Something weird came out here!]

Maru answered as he turned around to head towards the central control room. The scene captured by Kim Yang’s tactical camera was displayed on Maru’s HUD.

[Going now. 1 minute.]

Instead of answering, Kim Yang pulled the trigger.

Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo

The bare body that was just regenerating collapsed to the ground again as the armor-piercing bullets struck its entire body.

Iron-pudeok-

They were the ones who stood up and fell down several times, realizing that they would be beaten one-sidedly if they continued like this, so they lay face down on the floor and waited for the next beat up.

Tudadadadadak-

‘These things are lying down and holding on.’

Because the angle was ambiguous, fewer bullets entered the target properly.

However, it was not completely ineffective. It was certain that it would have a shocking effect once it hit. It was certain that it had been regenerating quickly like a rapid cure at first, but now it was slowly changing.

‘It might be possible to catch it if we use special bullets.’

Having suffered from monsters and mutants, Kim Yang always carried special bullets with him.

She immediately replaced the bullets with incendiary armor-piercing bullets. ‘If they’re set on fire, they won’t regenerate.’

Pavababababak-

Puff-puff-puff-

A flame blooms where a bullet passes through.

The blood that was writhing like crimson jelly and the wounds that were filling with new flesh were all crushed by the flames of the incendiary armor-piercing bullets and stopped in their tracks.

Ms. Kim immediately informed Maru.

[These are weak to fire. Incendiary ammunition, napalm, etc. can stop the regeneration.]

[Okay. What about the head?]

[They move crawling, so I can’t get an angle to shoot their heads.]

[Look at the head and the heart. Now that you’re here, get ready.]

It was just a vague request to prepare, but Ms. Kim immediately noticed.

[Okay.]

[5. 4. 3. 2. 1. Now!]

As the hail of bullets suddenly stopped, those who had been crawling to avoid the gunfire began to get up.

The corners of the mouths of the men who were glaring at Ms. Kim with faces like, “You’re out of bullets?” or “You’re out of bullets?” went up. Now, it was our turn, but showing our teeth was meaningless, as the wall next to the hallway split open and death rushed in.

Quaddudduk-

The blade that sliced ​​through the wall severed the heads of those who raised their heads.

Ppoduk-

Puga Ga Ga Ga-

Maru, who had decapitated both the male and female bodies at the same time, kicked the severed heads away like soccer balls.

puck-

One of the heads hit the opposite wall and bounced away, rolling.

Cook – The act of stabbing the remaining head with the tip of a knife, like stabbing a rice cake with a skewer.

‘Ouch-‘

Ms. Kim couldn’t get used to looking through the scope.

Just go through the wall and make a rustling sound.

[But why is your head cold?]

[I cut off these kids’ necks, but they still seem to be moving.]

Isn’t that how it was originally?

Even if your neck is cut off, you can still blink your eyes and open your mouth.

huh.

But it was Ms. Kim who didn’t find fault.

‘But stop looking around with your head on a knife. For a bit.’

Maru examined the head where the tip of the knife had been pointed, not knowing whether he knew her thoughts or not.

The blood that should have been dripping from the cut surface was not flowing properly. Perhaps because of the sticky, dark red blood, the uneasy feeling did not go away.

[These kids have strong bones and muscles.]

[As much as a variant?]

[It may not be to that extent, but I think it is at least a higher level entity.]

[The 12.7mm armor-piercing bullet worked.]

Maru, who was talking to Kim Yang, checked the situation with Hood.

[How long will CCTV control be available?]

[We can’t hold out for long. They’re physically blocking the line.]

[First, please mark the location of the central control room and the highest security level laboratory, and then guide me to the central control room.]

[Central Control Room guidance begins.]

Maru, who was following the arrow displayed on the HUD, spoke to Ms. Kim.

[You stay here and prepare the napalm.]

[What about Vx?]

What about V’s small and cute x?

[If you write that, they’ll know right away. No.]

Kim pouted at Maru’s words that since he had been spreading VX everywhere, he would be caught the moment he used it. Since he had already torn down the wall, there would have been stab marks everywhere.

[···Okay, I understand.]

The central control room was busy responding to the hacking.

“How do you hack? The internet is down.”

“It appears that someone broke into the building and accessed the intranet.”

“Through the intranet? Then block the floor lines directly.”

“We will lose control of the test subjects on the second basement level.”

“Anyway, control has already been lost due to hacking. Just cut off the line.”

“···still.”

“Just do it. We’re already doomed. If we don’t get results, that’s the end. Everyone.”

“All right.”

It was a problem that they used a test subject that was almost finished, but it would have been a huge blow if they found out that the central control room authority had been lost through hacking.

In a world like this, losing your balls literally meant physical death. It would have been better to just die cleanly in one go, or maybe end up as a test subject.

To survive, we had to catch the intruders.

“What about the test subject you sent in? Has the CCTV been restored yet?”

“His hacking skills are no ordinary skill.”

“Control of the barrier?”

“I got it back.”

“Open the laboratory on the second basement floor. Raise the barrier to guide the test subjects to the first basement floor.”

“···These are failed things that don’t respond to commands.”

“Then the test subjects will come up the passageway that passes through the central control room.”

Anxious eyes turned toward the man, but he gave a firm order.

“I know. Do it anyway.”

“······.”

“Even though the gunfire has stopped, the fight for control of the CCTV continues.”

“······.”

The fact that the gunfire had stopped despite the release of the second Blood Sucker program meant that the test subjects had either eliminated the intruders or had been subdued by their enemies.

If the test subjects had killed them, they wouldn’t have hacked so persistently. They would have immediately cut off their tails and run away. The fact that their hackers are so persistent now means that their enemies are alive.

“So where will the enemies be aiming? This is the central control room. They say that the guys who can deal with Blood Seekers are coming here.”

“Free the test subjects from the second basement level.”

“Unblock the 2nd basement floor bulkhead.”

“We will guide you to the basement level.”

The control room, which had been bustling, became quiet as if the ominous atmosphere was being released.

======

======

I don’t feel so good.

Kkuddudduk-

Maru said to Hood as he broke through the barrier.

[Is it difficult to get to the central control room using the path I came through? It’s not good to keep breaking through the barriers.]

[Let me check briefly.]

While Hood was rechecking the route to the central control room, comparing the location information and the schematics, the barrier suddenly began to rise.

[All the barriers blocking the hallway are now opening. Did they open the barriers? They lost control over this side, didn’t they?]

[It’s true that we lost control. It wasn’t us who started it.]

Why? Wasn’t the barrier lowered to protect the central control room?

[We’re just a stone’s throw from the central control room, and they opened all the barriers?]

[The automatic defense system is broken, so you can’t attack with the automatic turret. That’s definitely strange.]

[You’ll know if you go to the central control room.]

[From now on, just go in a straight line.]

Checking the hood’s operation, Maru said.

[CCTV?]

[Still in control.]

Maru, who had been feeling uneasy since earlier, kept his guard up and maintained the stealth function of his Ripper suit.

Doo doo doo doo-

The sound of dozens of people running could be heard ahead.

[Check the CCTV in front. Something is coming.]

[Naked people are running down the stairs to the second basement level. About half of them are heading that way. The other half are banging on the door of the central control room.]

Naked people?

Just a little while ago, those who had their heads cut off and killed were all naked···.

No way. Did they release all the test subjects?

If something was highly contagious, missing just one could have caused a major outbreak, like an early infectious disease outbreak or a cannibalism outbreak.

[The test subject has been released. Block it from exiting through that passage.]

[Okay.]

Kwaaaaah!

With a roar, a wave of naked bodies filled the hallway. Maru instinctively sprayed life into the feast of flesh.

[This dog-]

The test subjects’ jumping was entangled in the powerful murderous intent that rose up in them.

Kyaak!

Kwaaak!

The ones running in front stopped in their tracks, but they were unable to overcome the force pushing in from behind and fell over.

Kkudangtang – Those running behind stumbled over it, and those who slipped because of it began to fall forward. Those who stepped on it and jumped up also fell backwards after being hit by it, and chaos ensued.

Even though they were just right for living, they started to scream as if nothing had happened. There was no reason in the sight of the tangled lumps of meat going crazy.

Are these people thoughtless?

Why on earth are you trying to go this way?

The sight of his nostrils flaring, his saliva flowing profusely, and his maddening eyes made him look like a cannibal with an explosive appetite.

‘Is this because you smelled blood? Even so, this is a bit much.’

It was definitely different from the mutants. And it was different from the higher-level entities. What the hell were the Virginia guys experimenting with?

I stabbed the guy in the head with my sword as he tried to get out of the tangled mess.

Solid resistance.

A completely different feeling ran up the blade than when I broke through a barrier or a hallway wall. I put strength into my hand and twisted the blade, and with a thud, the body that had been struggling and kicking slowly stopped.

Seoksuk-

Maru, who confirmed the death by cutting the neck, started to swing his sword.

The blade swung with a clattering sound like a farmer’s sickle in a wheat field. The head began to roll around. The naked bodies that had fallen into madness were tangled in a red mess between the flowing blood.

Kwaaaaah!

Whoa whoa!

As the blood flows excitedly, he becomes more and more frenzied.

Maru’s eyes turned cold as he saw the ones who had their teeth stuck into the wounds of the corpse that had been cut with a knife, and the ones who had their tongues sticking out in a half-bent position to drink the flowing blood.

Cannibals rarely engage in cannibalism.

He said that he only does it when there is no one to eat, and that it is only after a long time, when there is no way to satisfy one’s appetite.

If you look at the information extracted from the brain of the Geese Riser, it was definitely like that. But these things were just sinking their teeth in. They didn’t chew flesh, but only sucked blood. Their behavior was thirsty for blood.

‘Have you been experimenting with a way to replace the cannibalistic weakness of cannibals, the desire to eat, with blood?’

It was probably certain.

The cold gaze of the floor began to target the bloodthirsty test subjects. Those who were struggling on the ground, thirsting for blood, could not avoid the indifferent stabbing and gave their necks to him.

[The reinforced door to the central control room is being destroyed. Oh my god. These guys are tearing down the reinforced door with their bare hands.]

[That went well.]

Now that I think about it, this…

Star caught in Seattle? Estelle Liman?

Is that the application of the results from this lab?

If so, it was a jackpot.

The laboratory conducting research on upgrading cannibals into vampires was right there, so destroying it would deal a blow to their plans for domination and evolution.

As Maru, who had given rest to the test subjects that filled the hallway, headed toward the central control room, the test subjects were pushing their bodies in one by one through the perforated barrier doors.

Judging from the gunshots heard from inside the central control room, it seemed there was no way to control the test subject.

‘These are different.’

Those who were driven into the central control room were different from those who ran into the hallway.

It was clear that they were different, as they blocked the hallway and cut down the area, and didn’t react even though the smell of blood was strong on the other side, and instead focused only on the central control room.

Huh?

A few of the guys waiting for their turn to enter turned around.

Sniff sniff – I thought he was smelling something, but then he became really nervous.

Using their senses to understand the situation, reacting rationally and maintaining a relaxed attitude, and responding in cooperation with colleagues around them were all on a different level from running down the hallway like a hawk.

In the transparent, rippling space, the blade swung by Maru was aimed at one person. The test subject fell sideways to avoid the secret stabbing.

‘Huh?’

Just as I was about to cut the lifeline of the thing that had fallen over and avoided the stab by turning the blade I had swung horizontally, the guy behind me tackled the hidden floor.

Dadadak!

Maru, who had avoided the tackle by retreating back with small steps, hid his life and stepped into the dark shadows.

The one who fell down and avoided the sword strike, the one who tackled during the sword strike, the one who was waiting for an opportunity, all of them fixed their gaze in the direction of the transparent floor.

Hey. Isn’t your reaction so different from those guys a little while ago?
