RUST [RUST]-431

Maru’s eyes scanned the surroundings.

Among those waiting in line to enter the central control room, some began to turn their heads in this direction. Most turned their attention to the central control room, but a few headed this way.

‘This. I need to finish it quickly.’

It was important to finish quickly, but nothing had to be lost.

[There are a lot of strange people hanging around here.]

Kim Yang narrowed her eyes at Maru’s words.

[······.]

Should I go to support? The communication continues as if he noticed my momentary worries.

[They’re tricky. If any of the naked test subjects go that way, be careful not to let them escape.]

[Okay.]

As if a gap in communication had been revealed, the men who had been aiming at the floor rushed forward in three directions. A clean attack from the right, left, and center.

Thump- thump-

With the sound of a slow beating heart and the passage of time stretching out, each step I took turned into a tremor.

Kuuuung—

Quajajajak–

The tile floor is cracked.

The body on the floor began to rotate, with dust rising from the floor in the shape of footprints.

The force from my ankles to my knees and up my knees went to my pelvis, and as my pelvis rotated, my waist and spine began to wind up like a clockwork.

The dust that had risen in a hazy manner was as thick as fog.

The eyes of the test subjects rushing into it were only focused on the center.

Kwaaaaah!

Euaaaahhhhhh!

A shout that raised their fighting spirit. Shouts of “We got him” burst from their mouths.

A straight black line cut through the thick fog of dust and the shouts at the same time.

“······.”

“······.”

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬—-

Added value added— gigggg …

The one on the right leaped through the gap between the leftmost one and the middle test subject being cut in half. Even his desperate struggles were not enough to completely avoid the slash from the floor.

Crackling–

The man who rushed in, not caring that the middle of both his calves had been cut off, stretched out his right arm towards the floor. His claws, as vicious as those of an animal, shot out like spears.

The Ripper suit’s stealth module was torn off like a piece of paper by the subject’s claws, revealing Maru’s figure. The moment Maru’s hand, which was outstretched like a harpoon, was bent like a fork to aim for Maru’s neck, Maru’s blade pierced the subject’s head.

The centrifugal force that had been spinning was turned into a straight line and stabbed. The blade stuck between the subject’s eyebrows twisted 90 degrees with a bone-crunching sound.

The test subject, with a fan-shaped hole in his skull, attempted to take a step forward, spilling brain fluid and sticky blood.

The sight of two men, half-cut to pieces, with their upper bodies still alive and writhing. And what’s worse, the sound of them shaking all over, even though their brains and blood were pouring out of their heads. It was like playing music.

Maru quickly cut off the branch, but the smell and sound had already spread. More than half of the people who had rushed to enter the central control room turned their heads and looked at Maru.

[Ha- Fuck. Yeah. Wow.]

Like thick blood flowing on the floor, the dark, sticky murderous smell of the floor began to encroach on the space.

======

======

A naked test subject entered Kim Yang’s eyes as he was looking through the scope.

A very skinny body, with thin limbs, and even though his spine was visible, he moved fiercely. His bloodshot eyes looked back and forth between where Ms. Kim was and the passage leading out. Then, he glared at Ms. Kim as if telling her not to disturb him, and then he immediately turned his body toward the passage.

Thud, thud, thud!

‘What are you talking about? Just do it.’

Kim Yang’s eyes widened as he fired five shots in one breath. The skinny guy dodged the bullets with a strange movement.

The test subject twisted his body and did a back flip, then rushed at her like a spider while still in that flipped position. Ms. Kim swallowed her curse and pulled the trigger.

‘I’ve never heard of anything like this.’

The sight of him approaching while stepping on the zigzag walls and even using the ceiling. It felt just like watching Baekjeong’s 3D movement.

A tingling sensation ran through Kim Yang’s face, and her senses were sharpened.

‘where?’

The movement bouncing in all directions continued like a series of photographs. One by one. Photos of continuous movement.

‘From the left···.’

It seemed to move to the right – that was fake.

‘Then where to?’

stomach?

I felt like I was stepping on the ceiling and bouncing off.

Kim Yang’s gun moved from left to right and then popped upward.

!!!

At the same time, my eyes met with the guy jumping towards the ceiling.

Tudadadadadak!

Before the test subject could even scream “Gaaaah!” after being hit by an incendiary armor-piercing bullet, Kim Yang’s subsequent gunshot crushed the subject’s face.

Whoosh whoosh!

Flames rose from the ruptured torso and skull.

Behind the smoke, the scope caught several naked test subjects trying to exit the passageway.

‘You missed four?’

That Baekjeong Maru?

How messed up must the situation be for that to happen?

She, who didn’t want to think about it, honestly and sincerely pulled the trigger.

Tudadadadadadadak!

Ting-tidding- ting ting-

Thick bullet casings began to fill the floor.

The central control room was in chaos as test subjects rushed in.

Even the machine gun attack only lasted for a moment, and many were caught in an instant and lost their blood.

“Can’t stop it!”

“Right. The barricade has fallen.”

“Hold on. You have to pull it in a little further.”

“Emergency exit. Emergency exit!”

puck-

The security chief, who had just shot the man spouting nonsense in fear, looked around.

The first line of defense was breached, and the second barricade was also in a fragile state. However, the third line of defense was not breached.

Just a little more. Come in.

now

“Flamethrower! Fire the flamethrower!”

“The fire might spread everywhere!”

“Just shoot! Put on your oxygen mask!”

“Put on your oxygen mask!”

“Flamethrower ready!”

“Concentrate your fire between the first and second barricades in the middle!”

The flames from the flamethrower engulfed both the test subjects and the victims indiscriminately.

“Keep shooting. Shoot through the gaps.”

The space between the first line and the second barricade was burning hot.

“Now. Push it away. Block that side! One minute. Just hold on for one minute!”

Soon, the automatic fire extinguishing system was activated due to the acrid smoke and hot flames.

Fuhuahahahahak-

The pouring fire extinguishing powder, halon gas, and sprinkler fluid mixed together, turning the area cloudy. The system restricted air circulation to put out the fire.

As soon as the ventilator stopped, the central control room became filled with smoke and gas.

“Oxygen mask!”

“Put on your oxygen mask and lie down!”

The agents lay face down on a foam floor that had suddenly inflated to ankle height.

The test subjects instinctively searched for prey, but one by one they began to stumble in the smoky space filled with fire alarms, intrusion alarms, sprinkler fluid, carbon dioxide, and halon gas. Even the test subjects needed air to breathe.

The test subjects now went through the narrow gap in the iron door that had been torn open again. And the moment they stretched their necks out to escape, their heads were cut off by a blade that fell like a guillotine.

Crunch-

Because the floor was already in place.

After five test subjects were beheaded while trying to escape, they were unable to come out and huddled together at the entrance, holding their breath.

In the brief standoff, Maru thought that the person in charge of the central control room was quite the person.

‘I have to catch this.’

At least 10 test subjects must have gone in, and it’s hard to hold out. Wasn’t that guy the one who released the test subjects?

Perhaps, they were trying to catch us by releasing the test subjects. If this were a normal special forces unit, the test subjects would have been reduced to blood packs by now, as they were so terrifying.

‘You have good judgment.’

Since Altoran would have the same information, it seemed worth extracting it with the Brain Dungdung Information Extractor.

[The central control room is a mess right now, can we regain control?]

[Physically blocked.]

[entire?]

[Yes. It is difficult because the lines installed on each floor have to be physically blocked.]

Ho- Even though the test subjects got inside and caused a mess, you were able to neutralize the intranet hacking?

I guess I have to catch him.

Now that I’ve been hacked once, I can develop a more proper security system. I thought I had to catch him before he died, so I approached the torn iron door.

[Did you get some information?]

[There was no important data.]

[There must be a server center inside the central control room, right?]

[yes.]

Pu-gak-

The heads of the three test subjects who had been huddled together in front of the narrow passage and gasping for breath like goldfish were cut off. Since these subjects had tenacious life force, it was effective to cut off their heads or completely blow off their heads.

‘Is this okay?’

The test subjects’ reactions were slow. Hypoxemia? Carbon dioxide poisoning? The defense using the evolution system was more effective than expected.

Even though they stuck their arms into the torn entrance and attacked those nearby, the test subjects were clearly unable to dodge or respond properly.

[I went over there a few times, how was it?]

[I caught them all. There were some that moved strangely. Are they all like that?]

[It’s all mixed up.]

[There are large differences between individuals. Be careful.]

Judging from the fact that he was telling me to be careful, it seemed like Kim Yang was also in trouble.

[You too. Be careful.]

The deviation was definitely too large.

Could these be laboratory failures?

So this is what a failure looks like?

Just where are you aiming?

The floor spread a sense of being stiff. I felt a reaction inside the central control room, a thick, hazy space with no visibility. I couldn’t tell if it was a test subject or a person, but I had a feeling that it was somewhere.

Riding on that feeling, the test subjects waiting on both sides rushed towards the floor inside the central control room.

Since he knew it by feeling, Maru’s response was simple.

As I jumped slightly in place, the test subjects rushing from both sides collided with each other.

The test subjects were fast and powerful, but they couldn’t change direction.

Maru, who had been floating in the air, began harvesting the necks of the test subjects. The test subjects who had lost their heads to the spinning blades in the air began to pile up, blocking part of the hole leading to the outside.

Those who tried to run away without rushing in were forced to fight Maru. One of the test subjects stepped forward.

“Open the way for revenge.”

The skinny, naked test subject groped and spoke.

[Get out of my way because I want revenge?]

The test subjects bared their teeth in the hazy air. Maru sneered at the test subjects who showed their will for revenge.

[This is ridiculous. If revenge was your goal, you should have taken care of these kids first.]

As if those words had been the fuse, the test subjects ran towards the floor.

Cook – Stab the head of the one who comes first.

Kujik – A sword that is inserted with a thrust and twisted horizontally.

The horizontal slashes continued from left to right, taking one step back without stopping, and then Maru’s body, which had been curled up in a ball, opened up again as he took another step back.

Choaaaaaaah-

The test subjects were torn to pieces in a circular pattern by the sword strikes that swirled from right to left. In an instant, five test subjects were either dead or incapacitated.

As Maru calmly confirmed the kill, he felt something moving somewhere.

[Stop there.]

A group of people moving, ignoring the words. They seemed to be ignoring them because there was no visibility.

I tried to capture it.

Do you see these?

Just throw it away?

As the excitement exploded, the long line of people froze in place.

Alright. Long, straight line.

Whoosh- Just before Maru took a long step, shaking off the dregs stuck to the blade.

A desperate cry came out.

“Ugh, wait a minute!”

[······?]

“Vladimir Kalin!”

[······!]

“If it’s Vladimir Kalin, I will cooperate unconditionally.”

[Why did you think so?]

Maru let go of his life.

Kreuk- Heuk Long, loud gasps came out.

“Sound. Kreuk- It’s because of the sound of the test subject being cut down in one breath. The only person who can catch a Blood Sucker Program test subject with a knife is Vladimir Kalin.”

[Hey- Stop talking nonsense]

The dull murderous spirit rose again.

[Don’t look at me and tell me straight. How did you know?]

Death began to strangle him.
