RUST [RUST]-514

Ms. Kim pulled the trigger.

These were completely different from the wolves in northern Michigan or eastern Canada. What more could you think about when wild animals just stick their teeth out without any sense?

Tuda dadadang!

Even when bullets rained down from close range, the wild monster wolves didn’t even snort. They thought that bullets fired by humans would not be able to penetrate their trusty hides.

Kim Yang repaid those guys’ atrocities with bullets.

Tudadadadadak!

The brass shell fell amid the thick gunfire and flames, leaving behind a cold metallic sound.

Clang-clang-

The 12.7mm special bullets (large monster bullets) prepared for bear hunting began to prey on wild wolves. The bullets containing monster byproducts mercilessly pierced the wild wolf’s proud hide.

Gang!

Wake up!

After being beaten up so badly that they thought, ‘This isn’t it,’ the wild wolves scattered, avoiding Kim Yang’s gun, but it was already too late.

Dispersion meant a breakdown in battle formation. As the tightly packed battle formation collapsed, the sacred wolves rushed in without missing a beat.

Tsk-

Ms. Kim clicked her tongue.

I tried to shoot them all with a gun, but my own side barged in. But I couldn’t just shoot them since they were all tangled up together.

Kiiing-

Kim Yang’s exosuit pulled out a special field shovel from its waistband. Kkwiyungkkiyung- As he approached openly, the two wolves that were tangled around each other turned their heads at the same time.

Those with necklaces are on the same side, those without…

‘It’s this guy.’

Kiyong!

With a dull sound, the high-altitude shovel crashed into the head of a wild wolf.

Creak!

A wild wolf with a sunken skull fell down with its tongue hanging out. The shovel that had crushed its skull made a creaking sound.

······

······

[What are you looking at?]

The noisy atmosphere suddenly became ominous.

Although they fought noisily, they did not push each other to the point of killing each other, but the unspoken agreement was broken.

Kwaaaaang!

Krrrrrr!

Wild wolves with their eyes glued to the field shovel dripping with blood.

The divine wolf, who had been slammed into the side of the wild wolf that was rushing toward Kim Yang’s exosuit, became entangled again.

A completely different tangle than the first one. Sharp fangs pierced holes, and the thin belly skin began to tear. And the fierce fight did not last long.

Kkieeeeing-

Bb-

Wild wolves hit by special bullets began to gradually sag due to excessive bleeding.

Aoooooooooooooooo-

The howl of victory rang out.

After confirming that the decision was made, Yang Kim put down the shovel and started preparing the nutritious soup. The sacred wolves timidly moved to the side as Yang Kim eagerly prepared the food.

[why?]

A sacred wolf looked at her intently.

[So why?]

Kim Yang, who was throwing onions and garlic into a large cauldron that she had prepared without knowing when, glared at the wolf circling beside her.

‘It’s uncomfortable because there’s no nurse.’

The wolf, who had briefly avoided eye contact, pointed to the side with his head. There, covered in blood, were wild wolves panting.

“You want me to put them in first?”

Kiiing-

A wolf shaking its head.

“Oh, man, this is so frustrating. Then, should I just get rid of them?”

Boom.

“They won’t survive anyway since they got hit by special bullets.”

Kiiing-

Although the bullets had poor penetration capabilities through inorganic materials such as reinforced concrete and armor plates, they were effective at taking down monsters.

The reason is unknown, but it penetrated the hide of mutant animals better than regular armor-piercing bullets, and most importantly, it interfered with the monsters’ regenerative powers, causing them to continue to bleed.

So, from the moment they were first hit by the special bullet, the result of dying from excessive bleeding was already decided. Even after winning against Kim Yang’s death sentence, the sacred wolves were gloomy.

‘It ruins my appetite.’

As Yang Kim continued to prepare the food absentmindedly, the wolf that had been whining beside her began to draw something like a picture with its forepaw. Yang Kim, who was crushing ginger with her exosuit, caught sight of the picture being drawn on the ground.

[···Hey, stop it there and move your front paw.]

It was a drawing that was not even kindergarten-level, but there were some parts that were clearly recognizable. The round bear and the paths that connected here and there. Kim Yang, who was looking at it quietly, asked the wolf who drew the drawing.

[So, you’re saying that if you want to find a bear, it’s good to know the streets around here?]

Boom!

Well, in their own neighborhood, they say that even half of the dogs are eaten. If there were wild wolves living in this neighborhood, there was a high chance that they would know about bears.

‘That’s right.’

Kim Yang decided to make a big decision. Wild wolf soup wouldn’t be bad, but the bear was the most important thing.

She cut open the large wounds of a wild wolf that was dying from excessive bleeding and then sealed the wounds with a US military rapid hemostatic agent.

Kim Yang began to provide emergency treatment to the wild wolves that were alive. The wild wolves quickly began to improve after she simply cut out the area that had been hit by the special bullet and applied a hemostatic agent.

[Hey. Tell these guys to do their job properly.]

Boom!

Otherwise, you’ll get screwed.

Kim Yang shrugged her shoulders and resumed cooking, which she had stopped for a moment.

Huh- Huh-

======

======

The troops from the Empire far outnumbered the royal forces.

Seeing that they had even brought two airships, it seemed like they had made up their mind firmly.

“What kind of stew is this?”

[Powerful stew.]

Kim Yang distributed nutritious soup and inspected the imperial troops.

The Imperial Army armed with a simple power loader exosuit and a 7.62mm caliber machine gun. Judging by the low 12.7mm ratio, I had to assume that they had no intention of hunting monster bears.

‘So you’re saying you’re going to leave the bear to us and take the materials, equipment, and technology?’

Mr. Kim called the guards together.

[We split into two groups, one to hunt bears, the other to work with the Imperials to guard the perimeter. The perimeter team must make sure not to miss anything the Imperials take and capture it on video.]

Kim Yang, who was telling us to carefully examine the half of what the Empire had taken, saw a peculiar Imperial Army. There were about thirteen or four of them. They were women wearing tight black tight-fitting suits.

I couldn’t see his face because he was wearing a helmet, but don’t you think the tights with all the lines sticking out are a bit odd? He must have worn them because they have some kind of function.

The guards’ heads turned to follow Kim Yang’s gaze.

“Big- hmm-”

“Aww- wow-”

“Shouldn’t we introduce that too?”

“Hey- Shut up.”

The guards were filled with admiration at the sight of more than a dozen people rushing in, not just one or two. Kim Yang’s eyes narrowed at the endless exclamations.

Kiyong-

[Attention-! Don’t get caught taking random pictures. Got it? Those who go with the Imperial Army, be especially careful.]

“ancient!”

“ancient!”

That’s how the connection with the imperial army began.

The operation went smoothly.

If it had been downtown Seattle, there would have been a fight with the cannibals who had lost their queen and scattered, but they started from the factory on the outskirts.

Pook- The guards who had inserted the repeater reported to Kim Yang.

[···F-22 parts factory taken over. Dismantling of equipment has begun.]

[What about those punks?]

[Not visible after the operation begins.]

[···Really? Don’t let your guard down. If you feel that the Imperial Army’s movements are strange, retreat without fail.]

[All right.]

Those tights look a bit like ripper suits. If they’re ripper suits, there are more than ten guys running around wearing them.

[And when you see the rascals again, check where they go and what they’re doing. Don’t get caught.]

[ancient!]

After receiving the interim report, Ms. Kim climbed back onto the tram.

[depart!]

Kririririri-

The tank, modified for bear hunting, moved forward, muffled. A howl could be heard from afar. A long, long howl that lasted until the end.

The wolves leading the way in front of the tank began to move faster. The tank carrying Yang Kim on its turret also began to increase its speed.

[Are we headed in the right direction?]

The tank commander reconfirmed his direction. If he continued on this path, he would not be heading into the forest, but towards the city on the other side of the forest.

Kim Yang, who felt something strange, checked the map that appeared on the HUD. It was in the direction of the F-22 assembly plant. It was the Imperial Army’s next destination.

As we left the forest, a space filled with collapsed buildings appeared.

Woof woof woof-

Kwaaaaang-

Krrrrrr-

The howling of wolves echoed between the buildings.

There is something.

Is it a bear?

As Ms. Kim raised her head, the crows circling overhead began to form a triangle formation and point out directions. It was the signal they were going to send when they spotted a bear.

[Wait at the back of the building.]

Kim Yang, who had stopped the tank by banging on the turret, jumped down.

[Cross-check the crow footage and drone footage to immediately locate it.]

[ancient.]

Kim Yang got off the tank and immediately ran to where the howling of wolves was loud. More than ten wolves were surrounding a bear and biting it.

‘Small place?’

It was bigger than a wolf, but it was about half the size of the monster bear that Maru and I caught last time. Kim Yang was a little disappointed.

The imperial army was annihilated by that bear. I brought a tank because I thought it was a big bear, but it seemed like I could handle it by myself.

Still, she couldn’t let her guard down. Ms. Kim launched the eight drones mounted on both shoulders of her exosuit. She sent four drones in the direction where the little bears and wolves were facing off, and turned the remaining four drones to support the tank. She then carefully took up a sniping position.

The fight between the wolf and the bear felt boring.

Even though it was a small bear compared to the first one they caught, it was still bigger than the wolves and the wolves knew that one swing of the bear’s front paw would be enough to finish it off, so they never approached it.

When the bear, unable to bear it any longer, advanced to break through the encirclement, the wolf behind it aimed for the bear’s center. It could not take more than a few steps before it had no choice but to collapse again.

Kuu …

The angry bear swung its front paws sharply, but the wolves quickly dodged and blocked the bear’s path again. The moment the bear turned its body to check the wolves that were following behind was clearly captured in the scope.

The moment Kim Yang was about to pull the trigger toward the bear’s hind paw, pat- the bear’s hind paw was covered in blood.

‘huh?’

A rather deep cut on the hind leg. The bear sank to the ground and swung its front paw wildly. Yang Kim’s gun, which had been aimed at the hind leg, turned toward the bear’s eyes. And before Yang Kim could shoot.

Thud! Thud!

At the same time as the gunshot muffled by the silencer, both eyes of the bear that Kim Yang was aiming for burst out simultaneously.

!!!

Two snipers hit both eyes at the same time? From different directions, but they hit each other at the same time?

That wasn’t all. As if the sniper was waiting for both of the bear’s eyes to be disabled, the bear’s entire body began to be slashed.

Kuuuuuuuuu!

A bear howling loudly because it could no longer bear it.

The bear’s movements, which had turned into a blood clot after the bullet was stuck in its mouth as if it had been waiting for it, gradually slowed down.

Even though the bear was lying there bleeding profusely, the wolves were unable to attack. They were hesitating and backing away as if there was something invisible to their eyes.

Kim Yang carefully changed the mode. When he turned on the thermal imaging and motion detection sensor at the same time, traces of a person appeared on the HUD.

There were five tracks surrounding the bear. Two farther away, probably snipers. Then there were six tracks surrounding her in a hexagon.

‘It doesn’t seem like he has any intention of attacking. Why are there six people surrounding him?’

[······.]

······.

······.

A loud cry broke through the momentary silence.

Choooooooooooooooooooooooo!

■■■■■■■■■■■■

The glass window, which had been shaking, began to break as it could not withstand the loud noise.

Kurururung-

A thick tree was snapping and something huge was running towards me.

Quasi-

The two-story house blocking the way was seen exploding.

Choooooooooooooooooooooooo!

■■■■■■■■■■■■

Holy Kingdom Army camp.

Director Yu Mark 2 rubbed his eyes.

“Fuck. My aunt” (What the fuck is this?)

Are you seeing things in your eyes?

The words of Director Yu Mark 2 were translated by the assistant AI.

[Shoes. Auntie.]

No, you retard AI!

I was trying to shout out loud.

She had a vision of a giant bear rushing at her.

???!!!

Am I crazy after being harassed by a crazy bitch?

[Coooooooooooooooooooooooo!]

[■■■■■■■■■■■■!]

I can even hear auditory hallucinations?
