RUST-49

“Fuck. These kids won’t die!”

“Shoot the head. The head!”

“F-Fuck bulletproof vests! You motherfuckers are wearing bulletproof vests!”

“I told you to shoot the legs and the head!”

The infiltration team desperately tried to block the people who were rushing towards them like zombies. But that was all, a small mechanical sound came from the bodies of the fallen people, and acrid smoke began to rise.

Paaaaah!

Smoke suddenly burst out explosively. Gas from tear gas and smoke grenades began to fill the space in the emergency escape.

“Cass!”

“gas!”

“What the f*ck is this!”

I took a quick glance to put on my gas mask.

Thud! Thud!

Fire axes and rebar pounded against the infiltration tank.

Although they say that they have good defense by wearing thin armor and bulletproof vests over them, they cannot block the impact of metal bats, rebar wrapped with insulating tape, iron pipes, and fire axes.

“Oh, my gosh! Help me.”

“What a fucking bird…”

The infiltration team falls one by one.

“Fuck, ignore it and move forward. Go forward.”

“If you stop, you will be surrounded.”

“Leave the losers behind!”

I pushed forward so desperately that I reached the bend in the hallway, but it was a dead end.

“What is this?”

“These kids came out of here.”

“Why is there a wall here?”

“Eww! Shoot. Shoot me!”

Tudadadak

Just right

The sound of bullets flying. The blocking wall was still there. As if it was supposed to be blocked like that. Now, the smoke was so thick that it was impossible to see in front of me. The team members who hadn’t been able to put on their gas masks were rolling around, clutching their chests, crying and snotting.

Even in this situation, the drug addicts were running around like crazy zombies.

Two people in a team. When one person fires, the other waits for a moment before firing again. This way, both people can avoid having to empty the magazine at the same time, and can form a continuous fire network.

But here and there, the two-person, one-team infiltration pair operation began to collapse, and once the dam burst, all 24 people fell to the cold concrete floor in an instant.

Wheeeeeeing-

Kyuuuung-

The sound of a giant fan spinning echoed through the exposed concrete space, and then the thick smoke was sucked out in an instant.

The kids who had been high on drugs bared their teeth and looked around for someone to hit. One by one, those with red, bloodshot eyes from being exposed to tear gas, and even blood vessels bursting and shedding tears of blood, gathered in the direction of the emergency exit.

Sim Eun-young, who was watching the situation underground through CCTV, opened her mouth.

“I went ahead and trusted Manager Lee Ki-young, but I’m a little cautious.”

President Shim wanted to avoid a complete breakdown with the world.

So I tried to kill only the ‘action leader’ and spare his limbs. I thought that if I left him some number of people and took care of the other side, I could at least have a ‘ceasefire’ or ‘truce’ on the surface. That was the method used by the Japanese yakuza when they fought in localized conflicts.

But the director thought differently.

When you can sweep it away, you should sweep it away. The World was a group formed by various forces. The group that came down to Busan now was mainly composed of gangsters, people who had problems with the military and police, and people who had been in foreign PMCs. The rest were people who were hastily gathered together, so it was difficult to see them as a force right away. Even most of them were brought in by Director Lee.

In any case, the number of skilled workers available to Director Yoo and Executive Director Choi was at most around 200. If we assume that there were at least 60 and a maximum of 70 people who were involved with Ms. Kim and were out, there would be 120~130 people left, and if we deal with the 50~60 people that Director Kim brought from Busan, there would be 70~80 people left. In a situation where losing just 30% would mean total destruction, 60~70% of the force would be lost.

This meant that Director Yoo had no cards to play. Since Director Lee himself had dragged away all the people under Executive Director Choi, there were virtually no people that Executive Director Choi could play with.

Even in this situation, are you greedy and want revenge and attack the Charlotte Hotel in Busan? There are no people? But if you wanted to attack, you had to ask for help from another line. Let’s say you took over the Charlotte Hotel in Busan. Then? All the good things will go to another line. As a result, Director Yoo and Executive Director Choi, who were in control of Security and PMC, will fall.

So, it was better to completely end it, to make sure that they had no choice but to let go of Busan Charlotte. Kill Director Kim and his entire team. And kill all the Charlotte headquarters-related bastards who came down to take care of the fishery. Kill all the ones who came in after seeing the fish. I had to make it clear that coming down like that meant death, so that other bastards wouldn’t dare to stab them.

This was a world where people thought about the future lukewarmly and then turned around.

“It has to be completely erased so that they can’t even think about it.”

This is Chief Lee Ki-young, no, now the head of security at Hotel Charlotte, speaking with confidence.

Sim Eun-young nodded. This is something that the people who lived on this floor knew well, so if you believed, you had to use it, and if you used it, you had to believe it. There was no end in sight anyway. Either survive or die.

“Once the local congressmen, city council members, police officers, and military generals have shown their sincerity, it will be easy to move.”

Manager Lee slightly bowed his head at Sim Eun-young’s words.

“However, Director Kim over there. I really want to kill Director Kim Soo-hyun, but isn’t there a way? I need to take revenge as brutally as possible to save face.”

The video that Sim Eun-young showed. Manager Lee Ki-young nodded after seeing the video of Director Kim killing a yakuza.

“Director Kim Soo-hyun is probably waiting for the CEO to escape, and is setting a trap to capture and kill him.”

“I guess so.”

“If we knew that the infiltration team was completely destroyed, we could retreat. Director Kim is persistent, but he is not the type to take on a situation where there is no answer.”

“So?”

“There are several ways, but the most reliable one is for the CEO himself to be the bait and lure them in. Have the guys outside protect the CEO, and release the guys who have taken drugs in the basement to attack Director Kim.”

“That might be dangerous.”

“Yes. The kids outside are good kids, but it’s true that they lack training and equipment compared to Director Kim’s team. However, if we just hold on, we can catch Director Kim.”

“What are the odds?”

“I think it’s more than 60%.”

“The odds are low. What about the employees outside?”

Manager Lee Ki-young kept his mouth shut at Sim Eun-young’s words, then opened it.

“I think the damage will be close to total annihilation.”

“······.’

“Then the first one will be difficult. What’s next?”

Manager Lee’s heart was completely moved by Sim Eun-young’s answer.

Miss Kim was annoyed by the world.

How surprised I was. My heart still races when I think about it. The electrocardiogram detonator went off on its own… I really thought I was going to die. My hair was dark black, but I was so surprised that the color faded. If I die like that, is it ‘funny and sad’? Miss Kim was fixated on the word ‘funny and sad’.

[Something came up that requires a bodyguard, so please come to the president’s office.]

No, I went there earlier. You want me to come back again? What kind of speech is this? Is it polite? Is it a request? And there’s a period at the end. What should I say about this?

‘I’m the hotel manager. Are you saying this because I gave you some money?’

Why are you calling me out of the blue? Kim Yang’s eyes narrowed slightly. This is it. Let’s just get through this. If this shit happens again, I’ll just leave the hotel and go carry my luggage from the yacht.

I’m tired and annoyed, and I want to get some sleep before getting on the boat, but why are you calling me? If an annoying kid shows up around me, I’ll just finish it off coolly this time and take a nap.

Ms. Kim forced herself to walk with difficulty.

When I went to the president’s office, it was the hotel president welcoming Ms. Kim.

“I sent you a text message because something urgent came up. I’m sorry if I was taking a break.”

Kim Yang tilted his head slightly without realizing it.

“It’s nothing else. The World Kids are surrounding the hotel right now.”

“Are you going to work?”

“Yes. There, the Charlotte headquarters has infiltrated the underground emergency shelter, and the World strike force has infiltrated it. Based on the current situation, I think they’ll come up here.”

Kim Yang couldn’t say anything specific, but she felt something strange. Her cast-wrapped arm felt tingly. Huh? She couldn’t wash. She decided to shower and eat buffet. It’s so annoying, but should she just stay locked in the bathroom?

At the words, “Come this way,” Ms. Kim followed the president. The president’s footsteps were visible.

“Looking at the strike team’s equipment captured on CCTV here, I honestly don’t think it would be possible for the hotel security staff to stop it.”

It’s weird.

“So I joined the staff outside and···.”

It’s weird.

“··· For now, the best option is for me to escape with my staff···.”

It’s weird.

“So, I think this will be my last request.”

It’s weird.

“I would like you to provide bodyguards until the yacht dock.”

Ms. Kim stared at the president intently.

The hotel manager looked at Ms. Kim calmly, wondering what she meant by her gaze.

It’s fancy, but no. When we ate that fucking meal together yesterday, it didn’t have that feeling.

When I raised my hand, the door opened quietly and someone came in, and there was no longer that feeling of being ordered around.

That’s not the feeling I get when I open a luxury leather bag in front of me. No. No.

Was there a teardrop at the corner of the boss’s eye?

So what about this year?

Crunch!

“I didn’t ask twice. What are you?”

Kim Yang’s gun was aimed at the forehead of a woman who had the face of a hotel manager.

“······.”

“······.”

No answer? The moment Kim Yang was about to pull the trigger coolly,

“wait a minute.”

The wall opened and a woman with the same face as the hotel manager appeared again. Kim Yang’s eyes quickly compared the two women. What is this?

======

======

There are four holes through which the Charlotte Hotel manager can escape.

I told Director Lee Ki-young and his team leader to surround the three places. Even if you escaped to that place and broke through the encirclement, there were mountains and the city. The Busan branch security team was deployed in the city, so if you escaped to that place, you would be surrounded from the front and back. If you went to the mountains, you were lucky. It would be the start of the hunt.

But the most likely place was where Director Kim himself was waiting. If you go this way, there was the Royal Marina, a luxury yacht dock. It would be difficult to escape by car. It would be impossible to get to the airport by plane. So it was obvious that he would escape by boat. He would escape to Jeju Island or Japan.

Cookie gigging-

A thick metal door swung open violently and people came rushing out making strange noises.

Ewwheehehe

Hahahahahahaha

It’s going to be a mess

Jambaejammaejammae

“What are they? Hey, are those kids Lee Ki-young’s kids?”

“Yes.”

That baseless behavior was done by Lee Ki-young’s kids. But why are your eyes rolling and drooling…?

“Hey! They’re all on drugs. Shoot!”

The moment Director Kim shouted, tear gas and smoke bombs exploded from all directions.

The wind was so fierce there. It was blowing against Director Kim’s direction.

“Coolook! What the hell. Tear gas and smoke grenades? Dog… gas!”

“gas!”

“gas!”

Even without the gas mask, the field of vision was already narrow, and the smoke from the tear gas and smoke grenades sprayed everywhere made the field of vision completely obscured.

The view was suffocating as if covered in thick fog. Breathing was stuffy. Director Kim was annoyed.

‘Did that idiot Lee Gi-young surrender, get beaten up, and get cornered as a meat shield?’

A guy running from the other side of the smoke got caught in the barbed wire that had been laid in advance and was struggling. He was struggling as if he didn’t feel any pain even though the barbed wire was digging into his skin. And then the guys who were struggling like that stepped on the guy and crossed the barbed wire.

“Hey, call Team Leader Ahn.”

“I can’t get any signals!”

“what?”

“Cell phones and radios are not working. It seems like there is interference.”

Director Kim’s face distorted.

“Just keep shooting!”

Tudadadak

Silenced pistols and submachine guns fired.

“Fuck, Team Leader. These guys are wearing bulletproof vests. The second line has been breached.”

If so, it definitely comes towards Royal Marina. Push the meat shield in, and jump in through the gap. It was certain. Royal Marina. That’s the only place close.

“Call the reserves. You-you go and get the reserves, go outside the jamming zone, and call the security team. Tell the security team not to come here, but to gather right at the Royal Marina. The yacht dock. Tell the security team to block information and communications in advance at the Royal Marina and the surrounding area and go into management.”

“All right.”

And as Director Kim spoke, a silhouette of a woman appeared in his eyes. A figure that appeared briefly through the thick smoke and then disappeared.

Short hair, petite figure, cast on right arm, Walter P22 in left hand. Another woman following her, long straight hair. Luxurious clothes. Feels like a uniform. Ornate embroidery. The president of the Charlotte Hotel? Two men who seem to be guarding the woman. One of them, Lee Ki-young?

“Lee Ki -young, you are you?

The guy who was running glanced back. Even though it was quite far away, it was clear. It was Lee Ki-young. I thought he was caught, but he was guarding the Charlotte Hotel manager? Anyone can see that as a betrayal.

“Why are you here? Huh? Betrayal? Betrayal? This fucking kid betrays?”

Director Kim’s eyes rolled back.

“Team 5, Team 6. Hold the position. Kill all the drug addicts or whatever you have to stop them. The rest of you, go after those bastards. Move in an encirclement formation. If we split up, the gathering place is Royal Marina. Repeat. Where?”

“Royal Marina!”
