RUST [RUST]-452

Kaaaak-

Kaaaak-

Agents ignore the crows’ struggles and put them one by one in a transparent container and seal it.

Maru had been hiding in the shadows ever since the strangely dressed men started capturing the crows.

The distance was about 30m, and it was a distance that could easily be reached with 2~3 steps, but Maru did not rush in. This was because the crows were suppressed and their responses were strange.

The fact that they are taking them away like this, when they could have just coaxed them with medicine, means that they have a plan to deal with the crows. And it must be an experimental plan that doesn’t require the crows’ cooperation.

‘They know about such experimental plans.’

It meant that they weren’t just security forces or agents, but people involved in the experiment. The people involved were fully armed, even wearing protective gear?

I felt uneasy.

Thinking about it that way and looking at it again, it’s full of strange things.

It was so cold that the temperature was below -20 degrees Celsius that I had to wear a winter coat. It’s amazing that you’re hiding in the snow in this weather without wearing a winter coat.

‘···He was wearing a hazmat suit instead of a winter uniform and hiding in the snow?’

As if an out-break had occurred.

“My tail got stepped on!”

“Prepare for battle!”

“Quickly clean up the crows.”

“It takes time.”

“That idiot came with a location tracker. It’s a short-range location tracker.”

“No abnormalities with heat tracking detectors.”

“There is nothing abnormal in the CCTV footage.”

Their response was quick.

Besides, even if they were crows that were out of their minds due to the drugs, they were fundamentally mutated monsters. The fact that they could suppress such crows with force was a correct prediction that they were not simple agents.

‘He knows the experimental plan, has received military training, and is also strong?’

The lab staff were trained and were strong enough to subdue mutant crows. Even in the Wilmington lab, most of the researchers were ordinary people. The Pittsburgh lab was the same.

‘It’s strange here.’

In that brief moment when Maru was gathering his thoughts, the situation changed drastically.

The sound of a siren leaked out from inside the messy building. And then Diana’s report.

[A surface-to-air missile launcher has appeared on the roof of the building.]

what?

[Targeting enemy missile airship. Beginning drone interception.]

Puhwaaaaak!

Paaaaah!

Just as two surface-to-air missiles were about to soar into the sky, a nearby new drone fired a hail of bullets, destroying one missile mid-air. The remaining one shot up in an instant and pierced the sky.

[Interceptor missile launched.]

[Close range defense system activated.]

[Successful interception of enemy surface-to-air missile.]

[Out of range of attack.]

[Surface-to-air missile, similar to the PAC 2 series. Estimated maximum range of 160~180km, maximum altitude of about 24km. It takes 30 minutes to leave the airspace.]

It was inevitable because of the slow speed of the airship. If so, it was a counterattack.

[Place the bunker buster at the last marked location on the location tracker.]

[Bunker Buster fired.]

Don’t those guys who installed surface-to-air missiles have an anti-aircraft interception system?

[Fire the bunker buster in succession. 3 more.]

[Missile launch complete.]

While bunker busters were being fired from this side, four more surface-to-air missiles were launched from the other side.

The bunker buster crashed down like a missile soaring into the sky. The powerful shockwave shook the building that had been left in ruins by the nuclear explosion.

A plume of dust rises with a loud noise.

Kuuuung!

The hazmat suit guys in front of the building lay flat on their stomachs. Broken glass, dust, and debris from the building were flying everywhere.

Kuuuung!

Another bunker buster down again.

What the fuck.

Maru muttered softly.

I was trying to sneak in and take out his head cleanly, but then suddenly we started exchanging missiles.

‘Should I leave?’

No. I do.

Even though things went wrong for a long time, I didn’t get out of it.

Since they even fired missiles, they had to go all the way.

[Standby bunker buster with tactical nuke.]

[Tactical nuclear-armed bunker buster ready for launch.]

Okay, let’s go.

[Ascent to maximum altitude. Standby after leaving the airspace.]

[Climbing to maximum altitude. Leaving the airspace at maximum speed. Shortly afterwards, the connection will be lost due to radio interference. 15 minutes until temporary communication network using drones is ready.]

Several thoughts came to mind at once, but Maru drew his sword.

Kuwaaaaang!

Bunker buster crashing into their building again.

Even after being hit three more times by bunker busters, the building did not collapse. Across the smoky dust, the guys in hazmat suits began to disappear into the piled snow, one by one.

‘Secret passage?’

A swaying shadow followed the men in hazmat suits, dragging the crow.

======

======

The secret lab in Tully was in chaos like a flea market.

[It’s an airship. I shot the bunker buster at the enemy airship.]

“Fuck. Are you suggesting we start an all-out war?”

I thought I had captured a crow, but what the heck is this?

[After searching the surroundings, we found that the drones they had deployed were scattered around the area.]

[Armed drone using a 12.7mm warhead.]

“You’ve made up your mind. You’ve made up your mind.”

The research director shook his head at the bold attack. He attacked without even asking what force or who it was.

“Code Black begins.”

After the lab was closed, the self-destruct code was triggered.

[Code Black. Code Black. All operations and research within the base must cease.]

The security doors blocking the passageway were opened for a quick escape. Electric carts loaded with equipment and test subjects lined up and headed for the emergency passageway.

“Here, take the crow too.”

“Load limit.”

“What the heck is the limit? Just raise it.”

“You can upload it. You can’t take this with you.”

The hazmat suits were loading the sealed crows onto the cart. Maru, who was following them, checked inside the emergency passage. Judging from the siren sound and the emergency lights spinning, it seemed like they were trying to abandon this place and escape.

‘They only take the head and leave.’

Maru walked inside the experimental base, opposite the protective gear that was slipping out. The security barriers in the middle of the hallways had all been removed for a quick introduction, so there was nothing in the way.

The central control room that we reached was half empty and in disarray. From the CCTV footage and the stories of those who remained, it seemed like the key figures had already evacuated.

Tsk-

It was different from what I expected. I thought that the head of the lab or someone important would be checking until the end.

“What about the server files?”

“Backup and deletion completed.”

Among those who remained in the central control room, there was one person who seemed to have some status. He was the one who had taken the backup files.

“Stop tidying everything up and come out. There’s no time–”

Crunch-

A blade protruding from the transparent space passed through the security chief’s neck.

dump-

Those who saw the headless body of the security chief collapsed scattered.

“The enemy!”

“Put the barrier down!”

A heavy gunshot followed as the wrist of the person trying to press the emergency button was cut off. The sound of a 12.7mm Rsh revolver was lost in the sound of a siren.

As the space distorted, Maru checked the CCTV, holding a knife in one hand and a gun in the other. There was more than one secret passage.

Among the CCTV footage, people wearing hazmat suits were seen moving around. If they can’t catch the head, they should at least collect the crow samples.

Maru, who had taken the backup files from the security chief’s body, melted into the blinking emergency lights.

Kaaaaaaah

Kaaaak kaaaak

“Can’t you make those little shits shut their mouths?”

“Tie the beak.”

“Can you stop for a moment?”

They were on the alert as the load on the electric cart collapsed several times due to the havoc of the crows carrying the entire net for capturing them due to lack of time.

“Everything will be closed soon. There’s no time.”

The agent driving the cart spoke to the agent in the hazmat suit.

“And what if the luggage spills again? It’s going to take time anyway, so wouldn’t it be better to just put it in those kids’ bins and go?”

“That’s right.”

“I can’t just kill them.”

“Since I’m going to dissect all of these anyway, isn’t it okay to just break their necks?”

Kaaaaaaah-

Oh-oh-oh-on-daaaaak-

Kaaaak-

Juguaaaak juguendaaaaak-

“What is this?”

“Just give him the medicine. We can do the experiment later.”

Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my gosh

Jugeo-jugeo-jugeogaak-

“What the hell. How much medicine did you give me?”

“You’re coming? What?”

The agents in hazmat suits took out bottles of medicine to calm the mad crows. The crows that had been struggling became calm as soon as they saw the bottles of medicine.

“I should have fed you earlier.”

“Open your beak.”

The crow that had taken the pill quietly blinked its eyes. When the eyes that had been so fierce that they were almost rolling back to normal returned to normal, the person next to it asked again.

“What’s coming?”

“What the heck, I guess I just turned around a little because of the medicine.”

At those words the crow began to tremble.

“Why is it like this again?”

The sight of it trembling as it looked into the empty space. It wasn’t just one crow. Other crows that had taken the medicine and those that hadn’t yet taken the medicine were also trembling as they looked at one side of the emergency exit.

“Why are you guys like this all of a sudden-”

Push-

The blade stuck out of the cart driver’s head. The arm holding the stick tilted and the cart, which had been pulled to one side of the aisle, made a dragging sound and came to a stop.

“Dog shit!”

Knock knock knock!

Hazmat suits shooting guns near the cart.

“Hallway. Shoot in the hallway too!”

“Radio. There’s an enemy here. Radio-”

Quaddudduk-

Kkaaaaaaah-

The blade that had been thrust out of the chest of the agent holding the portable radio slowly turned to the side. As the blade moved, the twisted torso was hit by a hail of bullets.

Doo doo doo doo doo

No one stopped the trigger.

Just firing bullets at whatever’s behind it.

Thud – I jumped up to the ceiling with a thud, and as I stepped on the wall, the muzzle of my gun went from the ceiling to the wall.

The dull thud of gunfire filled the emergency exit, with ricocheting bullets occasionally sending up sparks, but there was nothing.

Woodduck-

The agent’s upper body was torn apart with a loud crash. The hazmat-suited agents screamed as if they were dealing with a ghost.

“Where are you? Where are you!”

“Come out. Come out!”

“Do you think you’ll survive?”

“You messed with us, so you’re finished too!”

Death has begun to reap again, seeping in among the frantic hazmat suit agents.

Skuck skuck!

The blade that was about to split my skull vertically passed over my arm.

Aaaah.

The guy who shook his severed shoulder with a low sound and splashed blood looked into space. He could see drops of blood forming in the air.

“think!”

Suggestive-

The head that left the words “here” as a will rolled on the floor.

The moment the muzzles of the remaining three people were pointed at the drops of blood floating in the air, space was shattered.

Kuung-

A heavy step so loud it made the emergency exit ring.

The air screamed as if everything that had been silently oppressing them until now was an illusion.

PARRUKRUK – The sight that appears at the end of trembling.

A human figure that seemed to have emerged from the blood-splattered air.

Creek-

I had to pull the trigger, but my body wouldn’t move.

Creak-

My fingers were stiff, my arms were frozen, my heart and lungs felt like stone and I couldn’t breathe. I rolled my eyes and looked to the side, and the two people next to me were the same.

Ughhhhhh-

The three people, breathing heavily as if it were their last breath, fell down like pieces of wood.

======

======

I stabbed the guy in the hazmat suit and shortly after, a warning appeared on my HUD.

[Confirmed detection of biochemical contamination in the atmosphere.]

[Start the air purification system.]

I was wearing a hazmat suit and I was wondering what the heck was going on, and it was this.

‘these guys.’

Although it was a short time, the Ripper suit was also capable of dealing with chemical, biological, and radiological warfare, so Maru steadily reduced the number. Then, Maru, who had captured the remaining three alive, came out through the emergency exit.

[Emergency communication connected.]

The footage taken by the drone appeared on the HUD.

As expected, there were several emergency exits.

Maru felt a bitter taste in his mouth as he watched the snowmobiles and snowmobiles scattering in all directions.

Because I missed the head.

Kuuuuung!

The building that had withstood the bunker buster began to collapse, accompanied by shaking so strong it shook the ground.

[We have secured the biochemical contaminant. Prepare for isolation and transport.]

When I returned to Detroit, black smoke was rising here and there.
