RUST [RUST]-523

Ki-sun was speechless.

Just standing there in a daze.

“······.”

“Hey bro. Are you out of your mind?”

Maru, who had tilted Eclipse slightly to the left, stepped aside and spoke. With that movement, the tentacles attached to Ki-sun’s head twitched and trembled in a threatening manner.

“Get those fucking tentacles out of here. Let’s talk.”

“······.”

The tentacles swayed as if they were moving independently of the rhythm. It felt completely different from what I had seen in the video.

Knock knock

Starting with a few long tentacles that struck the floor as if they were in a bad mood, there were tentacles that moved around in circles like a water fountain here and there, and they were moving around very randomly.

“Hey- is that thing moving on its own?”

“······.”

At Gisun’s silence, the corners of Maru’s mouth went up crookedly.

‘If tentacles are the problem, you should get rid of them first.’

As soon as Maru made up his mind, the tentacles reacted first as if they had sensed the change in atmosphere. The tentacles that had coiled around their bodies like springs shot out.

Chooaaaak-

Maru, who had pushed away the sharp attack aimed at the forehead with Eclipse, took a step forward. The tentacles reacted to the footsteps that compressed more than 12 meters in an instant.

The moment the tentacles were about to counterattack a movement that a human would not have been able to react to, Maru sprayed life energy. The crimson life energy flowed down like flowing charcoal, engulfing the surroundings.

The pressure of the space itself being distorted and torn apart.

A life-threatening situation where everything alive seems ready to die.

The tentacles that were swinging toward the floor flinched at something so horrible that it seemed as if they would lose their minds – they froze for a moment. That slight hesitation was enough for the blade of the floor to touch Ki-sun’s forehead.

! The eclipse’s blade settled on Gi-sun’s scalp like a razor.

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

With the sound of green onions being cut, a two-lane road appeared in the middle of Ki-sun’s head. The tentacles that had been shaking vigorously fell down like severed hair.

The tentacles that fell to the ground shriveled up like squids that fell on a gas burner. It took only the blink of an eye for that long.

The horizontally swung blade of the floor changed direction like a swallow. Eclipse, which moved like a comet with a black tail, aimed for the sides of the head this time.

Whiriliriririk-

The tentacles attached to both sides of his head clung to Ki-sun’s head like a helmet.

Tsk-

If you cut it like this, Ki-sun’s head will be cut off along with the tentacles.

Maru couldn’t help but click his tongue at the tentacles’ clever movements.

‘Wake up, kid.’

Maru swung Eclipse as it was.

!!!!

The tentacles wrapped around Ki-sun’s head flinched as if in panic. Just before the blade cut through the mass of tentacles, Maru twisted his wrist slightly.

Come on! Come on!

Instead of the sound of cutting, the sound of a pot breaking rang out. Kisoon, who had been floating and falling, fell limply.

As I approached Gi-sun’s head, which was lying on the ground with the intention of shaving it, the tentacles attached to the back of Gi-sun’s head began to counterattack.

Churiq!

Crunch!

The moment I struck back at the tentacle targeting my ankle, I felt a squishy sensation. A translucent liquid spurted out from the tip of the tentacle.

“Dog- chew-”

Maru’s expression distorted into a grim expression.

The Imperial Army turned their attention to the W+ test subject who was barely escaping, seemingly caught or not.

“Take a detour.”

“Sniper squad! What are you waiting for? Shoot the legs!”

“Don’t drive! Don’t drive!”

Director Yu Mark 2 saw the desperately pursuing Imperial forces and sent a signal to Kim Yang.

[How about you? Are you still far?]

[···I think things are getting a bit messy.]

Ms. Kim answered vaguely.

That would be the case. It was a bit difficult to say that he was cutting the scallops that were parasitizing Gisun’s head, and that they were spraying soup here and there as he was cutting them.

[How long do I have to return?]

It was good enough to draw aggro, but it wasn’t easy to leave without killing them. Whether you cut off the dick or pull out the mercenary, isn’t that your problem?

You told me not to kill the Imperial Army? Then what are you saying if it takes this long? Director Yu Mark 2 said as he hid himself in the bushes.

[The Empire even mobilized snipers. If we continue like this, we’ll get caught.]

[We’ll deal with the sniper from here.]

The movements of the imperial troops who were searching through the bushes suddenly began to change.

“They say the siege has been breached!”

“A tentacle monster and a figure that appears to be Vladimir Kalin are engaged in combat!”

“Did Vladimir Kalin come in person?”

“What would you like to do?”

“We can’t come this far and give up on the W+ test subject. If the test subject falls into the hands of those Southerners, the cloning technology will be in danger. We must capture them.”

“ancient!”

“Sniper! If you miss, shoot!”

Kim Yang’s eyes narrowed as he watched the video taken by the Crow Scouts.

[Can you go in the direction of the Southern Army?]

[You can’t catch me either, so you’re anxious? Do you really have to go there?]

[If the Imperial Army is having difficulty capturing them now, they will change their direction to killing them.]

[···Please raise the position.]

Miss Kim sent the information right away.

[The areas highlighted in yellow on the map are areas where communication is possible by installing repeaters, the red areas are the Imperial Army, and the blue areas are the Southern Army.]

[OK, lure them towards the Southern Army. Take care of the tentacle monsters quickly. If you don’t, things might get tangled up.]

Director Yu Mark 2 was someone who planned to just get out if he got into trouble. What if he got into trouble while running away from the Imperial and Southern forces?

In many ways, it’s a bit odd to just run away and let go of that exciting feeling, but if you try running away and don’t like it, you can just come back, right?

After meeting Maru, it was hard to stay still. I felt like I had to do something to get things resolved, so I cheerfully volunteered to be the bait, but it didn’t suit me to continue being the bait.

‘I want to do one thing right.’

It was somehow the enthusiastic Director Yu Mark 2.

Kim Yang’s eyes narrowed at seeing such active behavior.

Did you remember something when you saw Maru? Then you would have seen him as an enemy or a rival, but he didn’t show any such expression.

Huh-

I didn’t feel good. It felt like I was showing off. The nurse girl did it last time, and the half-and-half-hood girl did it too, and I’ve been having this feeling lately.

The researchers and Maru said it was due to the influence of a psychic terror device installed by the Virginia guys, but that didn’t seem to be the case.

She had felt similar emotions from time to time since she first escaped from Seoul with Maru. She had felt nervous and anxious at times.

At the time, I thought it was some kind of fear, but why would you feel fear toward your own people?

But what if that wasn’t fear? What if it wasn’t a feeling of dread? What did you feel at that time?

That was the problem.

Thinking back now, it wasn’t so much a negative feeling as it was a strange feeling. It was also the same feeling of ‘Is that kid a real human kid?’

It’s hard to say exactly what it feels like, but one thing’s for sure. At some point, the other girls’ glances at Baekjeong started to bother him.

Baekjeong has been with me for a long time.

Even Mark 2, who changed his body into a dirty diaper, was just glancing at me. His earlobes were red and he was twitching.

Kim Yang shook her head. Now was the time to focus.

‘Where is the sniper?’

First, we had to neutralize the Imperial sniper. That guy Kisun. What the hell is he doing with his tentacles?

‘Ojin Group, if I were the lead role, I would specialize in pharmaceuticals.’

Come to think of it, Korea’s export and import routes were maintained thanks to the barnacle remover that Na Ju-yeon made. If barnacles had run rampant, exports and imports would have been impossible.

The fact that imports and exports were possible meant, on the contrary, that there was no rampant barnacle infestation. It meant that they had succeeded in controlling the horribly proliferating barnacles.

If it was Na Ju-yeon’s limited ability, wouldn’t she have been able to somehow deal with the barnacle stuck to Ki-sun’s head? The barnacle stuck to Ki-sun’s head and has been causing trouble up until now.

‘You didn’t make the cure, or did you try to use it?’

Miss Kim slightly lowered her head. She felt like she was about to laugh.

He kept saying things like his fiancée was this and that, and that he really loved her.

‘That girl is dead.’

If it’s true that she worked with Kisoon, then she was a piece of shit.

Huh- huh- huh-

Why does it feel so good to think that she’s gone?

Miss Kim tilted her head.

I don’t know.

huh.

======

======

The bullet fired by Kim Yang hit Ki-sun’s calf as he lay prone.

Ting!

The sight of a 7.62mm bullet bouncing off the calf without penetrating it seemed unrealistic.

[Crazy. Did you see that? The bullet bouncing off?]

[Yeah. I saw it.]

Ms. Kim muttered in surprise.

[Is that Ki-sun? His face looks like Ki-sun’s. Isn’t that a clone or a biological weapon?]

Maru’s forehead also wrinkled. I was afraid that my calves would fly off if I used 12.7mm, so I shot 7.62mm to avoid dangerous places, but it bounced.

The last time I saw him, he was clearly a normal person, and when we had a satellite call before, he even said that he had dreadlocks because of his tentacles. But bulletproof calves…

The fact that the calves were bulletproof meant that the body was also bulletproof. I couldn’t figure out what had happened to make it turn out like that.

It’s not that there’s no sense of discomfort, but it’s a strange feeling that it’s like Ki-soon. Maru couldn’t readily answer Kim Yang’s question, “Isn’t it a bioweapon with Ki-soon’s face?”

[What’s the reaction? No response at all?]

[No response. It is true that he has lost consciousness.]

Judging from the fact that he was breathing faintly, he wasn’t dead.

‘How did you stun someone who even bounces off bullets?’

It was not the quality of a great leader. Maru was already a great leader. Kim Yang felt a little uneasy.

[Gisun is unconscious, but her tentacles are still moving. It’s a bit strange.]

Ms. Kim changed the subject.

[I need to check. What’s the problem? What happened over there?]

[Mark 2 succeeded in luring the Imperial forces towards the Southern Army.]

[Have you mobilized all the clones?]

[All three entities have been mobilized. Both sides have their eyes rolled back to catch the clones, so it doesn’t seem like they’ll be able to last long.]

[How long do you think it will last?]

[Whining that the diaper needs to come off right now.]

Kim Yang whispered that it was obvious that she had some free time because she was whining.

[Tell him to hold on a little longer. Tell him to lure her for three minutes, no, five minutes at the most, and then get out.]

[Okay.]

Zuriririririk-

The damn tentacles were swung around dirty.

Eclipse also seemed to be reluctant to be touched, so I tried to kick it away.

It was the same with the acid saliva last time, and this time it felt similar, so Maru just stepped aside.

I dodged the creepy tentacle, and the tentacle that shot out skimmed across the floor and stuck in the tree behind me.

Gulp- gulp-

[······.]

The tentacle head stuck in the tree wriggled and made a strange noise.

What the heck is this-

Maru’s eyes were filled with irritation. When he got closer, he felt really dirty.

‘I’m sorry. Let’s just end this quickly.’

Maru, who was inwardly apologizing to Eclipse, who had red marks all over her body, took out his 12.7mm Rsh-12 revolver and shot Eclipse in the side.

The heavy impact was converted into vibration through the eclipse.

■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■

Super vibrations rising from my sword.

Puhwaaaaaaaah!

The tentacles that swept in from all directions began to swept away as if they were being ground in a blender. Even though the tentacles were as tough and tough as composite armor, they were over in one hit.

[I’ll just peel off your entire scalp!]

All you have to do is peel off the tentacled scalp and spray the cure on it.

As if they understood what I said, the tentacles began to bulge and fled away, as if insect legs had sprouted from Gi-sun’s torso.

‘Are you afraid you’ll miss it?’

Maru, who had raised his spirits to the max, jumped up and stomped on Ki-sun’s torso.

Bam!

The tentacles start to squeeze out translucent liquid in all directions while stiffening up. If you move away because it’s dirty, they try to escape by taking advantage of the gap.

“This dog-”

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

asleep!

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

Die!

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

Hoodduck-

The shredded tentacles fell to the floor along with the grayish-white broth.

Shut-

Maru grabbed Ki-sun by the collar, who was slumped over without a care in the world, and started peeling it like he was peeling a fruit. Ki-sun’s head, sliced ​​thinly down to the skull, looked like a beet peeled.

Cheeeeeeek-

Spray the pink rapid cure, the medicine reacts like crazy.

Kkeuuuu-

The moment Ki-soon opened her eyes to the pain of her scalp regenerating and the sensation of her broken skull reattaching itself, Maru spoke.

“Grit your teeth!”

?Pfft!

Maru grabbed the sagging collar of Ki-sun and shook it again.

Let’s keep hitting each other for now.
