RUST -480
As Kim thought about Maru, who was cleaning up the village, various things came to mind.
So, I remembered the story of when I first managed Vladislav Tower and treated the satellite village.
‘They gave us water, electricity, and even allowed us to use the internet and communication networks.’
Didn’t some people who were just being nice about living together end up leaving for New York in search of a normal life?
It’s nice to go, but considering they even took the exosuit and had a hard time getting it back, it’s just refreshing.
‘It would be better to just push it all away.’
Kim Yang muttered while changing the dirty diaper.
“Say it again. Don’t mumble.” (Say it clearly. Don’t mumble.)
“No. Just.”
Director Yoo Mark 2 narrowed his eyes and asked at Kim Yang’s answer, who was trying to pass by quickly.
“Really? What?” (Just? What?)
Are you asking me now? What are you looking at me with?
“What the heck. Just poop a little. Is this a shit-making machine? How many times a day does it poop?”
“This is fucking shit!!!”
“Give it to me. I’ll do it.”
When they were talking about war, I thought they were getting along well, but that wasn’t the case. When Director Yu Mark 2 and Yang Kim started to stick together again, the researcher next to them was surprised and pulled them apart.
“How long are you going to keep urinating? All the kids in my neighborhood are out of diapers by the age of two.”
“Even if a bitch is joking, eat some shit. It’s shit. You son of a bitch.”
“If there’s no diaper to change, you’re just taking it off. What kind of joke are you? You’re kidding. You idiot.”
“······.”
At Kim Yang’s words, Director Yu Mark 2’s expression changed strangely.
“Why? You don’t remember anything about that?”
“······.”
Kim Yang shrugged and called Diana.
“Diana, here’s some new engagement information. If that shit-machine asks you to show it to him, show it to him.”
[All right.]
“Where?” (Where?)
“Oh my-.”
Pretending not to hear, Kim Yang’s footsteps headed outside toward the PD’s office.
“Welcome. We need to gather together anyway because of the new bullets.”
“···New bullet?”
Her gaze naturally moved from the PD to the table.
“It’s a bullet made from monster byproducts. Here’s the information, so please take a look and try it out.”
It was the PD who asked for a verification experiment. After looking through the data, Ms. Kim nodded and said.
“By the way. Why are you picking the newly recruited kids?”
The kingdom was currently practicing semi-conscription, as conscription was increasingly becoming a requirement for issuing citizenship.
We decided to classify them into regular soldiers, guards, and knights, but we ended up drafting more people than we had discussed.
This was a sensitive issue. The Royal Guard and the Knights Templar, excluding the regular soldiers, had decided to maintain similar strength, so this was problematic.
“That’s what I talked about with him.”
“···Then? Even so, wouldn’t it be better if you told me in advance?”
“I will be more careful in the future.”
Kim Yang nodded slightly and asked the PD a question.
“The problem of dealing with remote villages. What do you think about wiping them out?”
“He went there himself, so it’s probably not up to him to decide.”
‘Ah. If you answer like that, I have nothing more to say.’
Kim Yang, who had been irritated by PD, went outside to test the new bullet. There were always cleanings and crows on guard around Detroit, so there were no monsters worth shooting.
‘It’s annoying.’
She was headed to the southern border of Detroit.
[If you go further down, you will reach the border area.]
[already?]
[Yes. If you go down further, you will reach Tollido.]
[But I don’t see a single rat.]
[There was no rat damage along the southern border as the tribute rats swept through the area.]
Kim Yang’s expression became ambiguous at the guard’s explanation.
Now that I think about it, I must have been offering tribute all along, but I had forgotten. She had made a note to check the tribute first when she got back.
[The footage sent by the Crow Scouts shows a 5 mile radius. Correction. No monsters are visible within 8km.]
He was a member of the royal guard who quickly corrected and reported the change, as the weights and measures were unified into the metric system after the declaration of the kingdom.
[Going beyond the border.]
[ancient.]
What unfolded before Kim Yang and his guards as they crossed the border declared as kingdom territory and went down to Toledo was ruins.
Although the reinforced concrete structures were somewhat intact, most of the wooden buildings that made up the majority of the housing were reduced to ashes.
Arson? Burning down the whole neighborhood?
[Kaaaah!!!]
A camera image appeared on Kim Yang’s HUD along with the sound of crows croaking. It was a scene of three fairly large coyotes fighting off a pack of rats.
[Krrrrr- Aang!] (These damn rats are going to die!)
[Squeak! Squeak!] (He wants it! Charge!)
As the coyote bit the rat, flames shot up with an explosive sound.
Kkeang- keeeeeeng-
Whoosh! Whoosh!
A sticky flame rising through the mouth.
The characteristic napalm flames burned the coyote’s snout and nose. The coyote’s front and hind legs shook their heads from side to side, and the baby rats rushed towards important places, exploding again.
Kieeeeeeeeeeeeng-
A coyote with its entire body on fire rolled on the ground, writhing, and eventually stopped moving. In an instant, two of them were turned into roasted meats, and the remaining coyote ran away with its tail cut off.
The rats that had just finished off the pack of coyotes began to turn their heads toward the sky.
The eyes of a pack of rats flashing with madness. The image of hundreds of bomb rats staring at a crow in the air was creepy.
[That. They’re not attacking us, are they?]
[I have never crossed the border to the north before.]
‘PD sir… Do you know that those little rats are doing that?’
Tributes and Bombs – Kim Yang underlined the note and walked away.
Kim and his bodyguards went all the way to the border area near Chicago to find a group of cat monsters.
[There are quite a lot of numbers.]
[There are more than 10.]
[13. 26 including the chicks.]
The cat monsters, who tend to act alone, formed a group.
Suddenly, Kim Yang was reminded of the group of cats at the Japanese thieves’ hospital, but there were also new bullets in the guards here. Even if the bullets for the giant monsters were weaker than the laboratory specs, they were still worth a try.
[Replace the magazine.]
[Replace the magazine.]
The muzzle of the gun, loaded with monster bullets, was pointed at the cat monsters.
[firing!]
Ta-da-da-da!
7.62mm bullets. If it had been a commonly used armor-piercing bullet, the monster cats would have just chewed it up and pounced, but they flinched as if they had been stung by a poisonous stinger and were unable to exert any force.
It was good!
‘If I go into Daegu with this… I think I can catch gomtang too.’
Gomtang. Gomtang. That’s right, gomtang.
Miss Kim smiled brightly.

Maru, who arrived near Blackrock Village, ordered another reconnaissance.
Caw!
[Quietly. Don’t get too close. I just need to know the defensive situation. Got it?]
Kak-
A few sacred crows flew up silently and began to survey the village. The reconnaissance screen entered Maru’s HUD.
‘also.’
Even though Blackrock Village was much smaller than the one that was pushed out this time, it had a 30mm anti-aircraft gun installed. According to the information confirmed by psychometry, they said that they had paid a lot of attention to this area.
‘Underground resources.’
It was an attempt to take control of Green Hill and Black Rock to secure passage to an area rich in underground resources. If it weren’t for psychometry, this information would have been overlooked.
‘They were aiming to secure an irregular warfare base while also supplying resources.’
A plan to feed the kingdom and keep the empire in check, while also taking underground resources. They were definitely the ones who got the upper hand.
[There’s a village over there. How many cannibals are there? Can you feel them?]
Pur- Purung- Purur-
A black horse shaking its head three times.
[Direction?]
The black horse’s head was fixed to one side.
[Are you saying that all three are in the same place?]
Purrrrrr!
[Okay. You know what I said last time? Stay quiet and if anyone runs out of town, chase them. Don’t step on their heads.]
Heeeek!
Srrrrrrrr – The floor disappears into the shadows of the coniferous forest.
As the smell of the floor melted away, the black horse felt as if its mane was getting soaking wet.
Hehe!
The black horse let out a small sound that sounded like a curse, looked around, and then shut its snout tightly.
‘There will be mines and traps. The security is also strong.’
Maru began to circle the town of Blackrock.
It would be advantageous to attack at night, but it is rejected.
Because what I needed now was a strong impression.
‘It would be nice to ride in on a crow.’
It was dangerous because there were anti-aircraft guns.
It wasn’t a bad idea to make a bridge by cutting down trees like last time to avoid traps and mines, but Maru’s worries were a bit long because he felt that it didn’t leave a strong impression.
As Maru was walking around the village, some rocks caught his eye.
A mountain with oddly shaped rocks rising up here and there to the north of the village. The village was surrounded by a rocky mountain to the north, perhaps to block the cold north wind.
‘So this is why it was called Blackrock Village.’
Maru, who had been looking back and forth between Dolsan and the village, headed towards Dolsan.
The rocky area we found that way.
The corners of Maru’s mouth slightly rose as he looked down at the village from the rock that jutted out in front. This place was enough.
Krrrrrr-
Eclipse was pulled out with the sound of a beast stalking its prey.
Taang!
The Eclipse’s side was hit with a Rsh 12.7mm bullet, and the blade sank into the rock. The Eclipse, which converted the powerful impact into vibrations, began to slice through the rock with the sound of a chainsaw.
Keuggeuggeuk!
Kagagagagak!
As gunshots ring out from the mountain behind the village, people gather at the northern fence.
Three people coming from the direction the black horse had pointed out entered Maru’s sight.
A tough armor made of monster hide, spears and arrows, and even large-caliber firearms.
It was easy to recognize them because they were armed differently from ordinary people.
As the blade cutting the rock gradually loses its strength.
Maru fired his gun again and continued the vibrating cut.
As the heavy gunshots and the sound of something being cut continued, the townspeople began to murmur.
Kkuugugugugak!
A long, cut ridge ran from end to end of the rock, jumping over the conifers and crashing down onto the edge of the rock.
Ppagagak!
A crack grew wider along the direction of the sword strike, accompanied by a dull noise, eventually splitting the boulder in two. With a thunderous clap, the huge boulder came crashing down toward the village.
“Ugh!”
“A rock! A perfectly fine rock!”
“Run away!”
“Gyaaaah!”
Roll- Kkuluk- Kwajik- Crack- Uruk-
A landslide created by a huge rock fell on the northern part of the village, snapping and crushing large trees. The sound of traps and mines exploding on the ground was a small crackle and then disappeared.
Maru, led by a landslide, began to run forward. His target was three cannibals.
“Escape to the south!”
“Grab your weapons!”
“We can’t cover the entire village!”
“Look at the slope! Don’t be surprised, look at the slope! It’s slowing down!”
As they said, the landslide that had been pouring down fiercely began to slow down little by little, but the northern fence had collapsed.
Dadadadak-
In an instant, Maru jumped up on the pile of rocks and ran towards the cannibal.
“Send a warning signal to the south. Now. The enemy may be targeting the south.”
The sound of the floor running was drowned out by the voices of the villagers urging them to not cause a landslide in the north and attack the other side.
“hmm?”
“uh?”
They turned their heads toward the swaying space, as if they were good-natured people.
The guys shouted loudly as if they had met the gaze of something.
“What. There’s something!”
“It’s stealth. It’s stealth equipment!”
“Formation A. A! Surround them!”
“Shoot!”
Babababak!
Some villagers who had been running away at their orders gathered in a circle and started shooting.
‘I guess it might be right to say something like ‘crazy kids.’
Maru jumped straight up.
I suddenly floated up and dodged the enemy’s bullets, but the sound was strange.
It’s not a gunshot, it’s the sound of an air gun or gas gun.
It’s the sound of people on the same side hitting each other because they surrounded each other and shot.
Pakpak – Exploding fluorescent paint.
The bullets shooting from all sides are paint bullets.
And then, all of a sudden, a 30mm Vulcan cannon appeared, aimed at us.
These kids.
A crimson aura emanated from the air.
The gunshots stopped as the murderous intent sprinkled from the sky, encroaching upon the ground.
