RUST -529

I’m not sure, but there weren’t many crows.

Kaaaak!

Knock!

Na Ju-yeon and her group hesitated at the contrast between the polite gestures and the murderous cries.

Since he was the beast he sent, he would be able to shake the cleaning team and create a hole for them to escape. I thought that was a mistake.

‘Enough to wipe out the cleaning team.’

Of course, if we mobilize all of Ki-soon and Director Kim, it wouldn’t be impossible, but it wouldn’t be easy with the remaining forces. Who would have thought that a few dozen crows could do this?

Caw!

At the sound of urging cries, Na Ju-yeon stepped forward.

Then Foodduck – a crow that retreats with a light flap of its wings.

‘It’s not within range.’

Do crows have a good sense of smell?

If you smelled the scent, your hostility or wariness should have diminished, but it was difficult to keep a distance. As Na Ju-yeon followed the crow’s lead, the people behind her also moved their steps.

We walked for over an hour, but it was strangely quiet.

By now, sirens should be blaring in the distance, and drones and helicopters should be swarming everywhere. Na Ju-yeon, who was walking calmly, glanced back and asked a question to the crow ahead of her.

“There is no pursuer?”

Kak-

The crow nodded. It answered the question. That means the crow knows human language.

Na Ju-yeon stared intently at the back of the crow’s head. Is it possible that its brain is so small and yet it is so intelligent? How is that possible?

Foodduck-

Perhaps sensing the intense gaze, the crow that had been walking ahead flew up with a thud and replaced another crow.

The crow that had just arrived didn’t come close and just guided the direction from a distance. As if he was treating her like she was suffering from a contagious disease, Na Ju-yeon took out some beef jerky.

“This is delicious. What do you think?”

The crow’s gaze briefly turned to the jerky, then turned its head away after seeing Na Ju-yeon’s sparkling eyes, and she licked her lips at the sight.

As expected, the bird he raised wasn’t easy.

A day passed, two days passed, but still there was no pursuit.

‘Are you just going to let it go?’

You’ve been watching me so relentlessly and locking me up, and now you’re giving up so easily?

‘Is that so?’

Was it because they left Naru behind? Since they secured the younger brother of the King of the Holy Kingdom, were they just going to let the rest go? They weren’t like that, but things were going too easily.

Caw!

Kkuieeek!

The sound of animals, along with the warning calls of scout crows, woke up the surroundings.

A mutant hogzilla that was targeting wild humans rushed towards the group.

As the huge body, almost the size of a 20-seater bus, approached closer and closer, people wearing black sunglasses blocked the way.

The boar’s head showed an expression as it saw that. The corners of its mouth twitched as if it were a person smiling. Its huge fangs were aimed at the men in suits blocking its path.

At that moment, a crow passed by the boar’s head. The boar had no choice but to close its eyes and shake its head at the sharp beak and claws aimed at its eyes.

Kkuieeek!

If you turn right, it’s on the left.

If you shake left again, it will turn right

One, two, three…

Knock- knock- tsk!

Crows that circle endlessly, pecking, tearing, cutting, and brushing past.

The eyelids were strong enough to stop rifle bullets, but the eyeballs couldn’t have been that strong. In order to rush towards the target, you had to open your eyes, and if you opened your eyes, crows would attack.

The boar monster had no choice but to give up its prey due to the crow’s persistent eye attacks.

Kkeueeeeek!

The wild boar, which had been crying for a long time as if it was just waiting to see, turned around and started to run away.

Kaaaak-

Cocktail-

The mocking cry of a crow echoed through the forest.

“Oh my God, Mr. Chairman. What are these crows?”

“These are the birds he raises… They also seem like mutated monsters.”

“The intelligence is too high. In fact, if you have the intelligence of an upper elementary school to middle school student, you should be able to understand most of human civilization. This is dangerous.”

“Yes. Looking at them now, it wouldn’t be strange if a kingdom or empire of crows were to be created. They should be eliminated just like barnacles.”

The reason they were loyal to the Oh Jin Group and Na Ju-yeon was because of the drug that increased their favorability rating, but at the heart of it was because what the Oh Jin Group and Na Ju-yeon did moved their hearts.

When all of Korea’s export and import routes were blocked by a mutant barnacle that appeared in Japan, and the entire region from the Korean coast to China and Southeast Asia was in danger, the Ojin Group created a barnacle remover and distributed it free of charge.

All of Northeast Asia, including Korea. No, it was like saving the sea route and saving humanity. The production and distribution of cannibalism treatment drugs and anger management disorder treatment drugs were also the same.

If you think about it, it was thanks to the Ohjin Group and Chairman Na that Korea’s public security was maintained and that mankind was not wiped out by intermittent explosive disorder and cannibalism.

‘The Ojin Group is the company that will protect humanity from the apocalypse.’

‘The genius of Chairman Na will save humanity.’

The research team of Ojin Group was formed by the researchers’ voluntary support and the addition of favorability plus, and was tightly united around Na Ju-yeon.

And the first crows they encountered were more than shocking.

Scientific names that humans often use when they feel superior to animals. So, the idea that we can catch a glimpse of the appearance of instrumental humans (homo faber), social humans (homo socies), or playful humans (homo ludens) in crows was not just shocking, it was close to terrifying.

Na Ju-yeon gave a soft warning to those researchers.

“Watch what you say. They understand us.”

“Huh? You understand human speech?”

“Yes.”

“Mr. Chairman, this could be really dangerous.”

“It’s okay. And the danger will come later.”

“What is that···.”

The researchers turned their heads to follow Na Ju-yeon’s gaze. A crow was sitting on a tree branch right next to them, quietly watching. The researchers kept their mouths shut and moved forward.

Kaaaak-

Thanks to the crow’s reconnaissance and guidance, Na Ju-yeon and her party were able to arrive close to the rendezvous point where Kim Yang was waiting.

“It’s an airship!”

“It’s an airship!”

“I see an airship down there.”

“Oh. They’re all here.”

“Let’s all cheer up. We’re all here.”

As the airship landed in the empty space below the mountainside in the distance, the exhausted people began to gather their strength. And the crows began to urge them on.

Caw-

Knock-knock-

“Huh? Why is it like this?”

“Ugh- What’s going on all of a sudden?”

“What the heck are these guys!”

“Ouch- my head. Hey! Don’t touch my head!”

They were crows that would peck at the backs of people’s heads and backs, making them jump. Na Ju-yeon shouted when she saw the crows’ behavior.

“Everyone, run.”

At her words, the people who had been fighting with the crows started to run one by one. Then, the crows stopped pecking.

“You see? Run. Hurry up.”

As we started to run, we heard the sound of something rushing over the ridge in the distance. Something heavy was raising its voice.

Kwiiieeek!

As if they had found it, the crying sound rose high.

Kkeuk!

Kkweeeeek!

Sounds of agreement began to erupt from all around.

“It’s a monster boar!”

“Jump!”

The people at the back started running, screaming, but the researchers’ stamina was already at rock bottom after two days of forced marching.

Kkujik- Kkuadduk-

Wild boars rushed forward, pushing aside trees in the middle of nowhere. People fled in panic at the sight of them just rushing in like bulldozers or armored vehicles.

Kaaaak!

Caaaak!

Even though the crows attacked the boars’ eyes as before, it was no use, because the boars simply closed their eyes tightly and ran in a straight line towards their initial target.

Their target was an airship. The boars didn’t know it was an airship, but they knew the humans were running towards it, so they headed there.

[Hey. Get out of the way!]

Kim Yang’s voice boomed through the speakers. At the same time that the crows that had been desperately attacking the boar’s eyes flew up, the Cremoa and the buried explosives exploded.

Boom! Kwaaaaang!

Kwarrurung! Boom!

Even wild boars the size of passenger cars and small buses had no choice but to stop charging at the explosion of claymore shells right in front of their noses and explosives exploding under their thin stomachs.

KEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

The leader boar, who had been thrown backwards by the explosion, let out a roar of anger and got up. Kim Yang whistled softly as the other boars, who had fallen and collapsed here and there, began to gather around the leader.

Wheeze-

[The biggest one looks like it has tough leather, similar to gomtang?]

[I think so.]

[RPG and Javelin ready. The biggest one over there is my pork belly.]

[···yes.]

Kim Yang did not miss the moment when the leader, who had gathered his men, rolled his front legs again and was about to charge.

Touhou-

A heavy gunshot muffled by a silencer.

The 12.7mm special bullet dug right into the monster boar’s left eyeball. The characteristic flame of the incendiary bullet that pierced the eyeball burst out from the boar’s eye socket.

[ah-]

[Ow-]

The guards were amazed at the miracle of hitting the boar’s eyeball from over 1.7km away.

Kkeuk- Kkeueeek!!

The leader, who was about to charge, shook his head from side to side and then started to go crazy. You could see the boars’ morale dropping as he howled in pain.

[Now. Fire! Shoot the head! The head!]

[If the insides burst, it will stink and be thrown away. Aim for the head!]

RPGs and javelins flew toward the boars that had gathered in a circle to protect their leader who was having a seizure. Kim Yang was excited, even though half of the boars still had their heads intact after being hit by RPGs and javelins, because their hides and skulls were so strong.

[Attack! It’s pork belly!]

[Shoot the eye! Stab the knife in the eye! Crack the brain!]

The guards did their best to secure the pork belly. They had to do everything.

Kkwuiiiiiiiik!!!

The leader tried desperately to escape, but he couldn’t escape Kim Yang’s tenacity. Eyes, eyes, mouth, open mouth. Bullets pierced the eyes again, and the eyes again.

The eye-piercing shock piled up, and as the shock piled up, the heat accumulated. A blazing iron-clad incendiary bullet. The flames literally kept rising without dying down. Unable to withstand the hot flames, the leader’s brain was cooked.

‘You can catch a mutant monster this easily?’

Na Ju-yeon couldn’t help but be surprised at the sight of the giant boars being annihilated in an instant. Even the professional cleaning team had a hard time getting rid of the monster boars so easily?

The weapons used by the Holy Kingdom’s Royal Guard were also unusual. From the bullets they were using to the RPGs and javelins, they seemed to have been modified.

‘You can’t catch a monster boar with a simple RPG or javelin.’

In addition, the performance of the exosuit that appeared to be Kim Yang was superior to any machine Na Ju-yeon had ever seen. Literally overwhelming athletic performance and precise shooting ability.

I could understand why the Confederacy had a non-aggression pact with the Holy Kingdom and with the Charlotte group in the West.

As soon as the leader, who had fallen to the ground after his last pitiful scream, was caught, Ms. Kim, who had been dragging him in, immediately grabbed his collar.

As she approached Na Ju-yeon, lowering the head of the leader, from which crimson blood was gushing out, bodyguards wearing dark suits and black sunglasses stepped forward.

Pick- A small laugh was heard from the exosuit helmet. Then Gyaw- Kim Yang, who had been looking around, looked at Chairman Na and asked.

[But I don’t see Sansam. Ah- I mean Naru. The most dignified younger sister. Is she dead?]

“I wouldn’t have died.”

[Huh? You didn’t get left behind? If you got left behind, you’re dead. It’s okay. I didn’t kill you on purpose.]

“No. I didn’t leave with you when you left. I wanted to stay.”

Kiyong- As Ms. Kim took a step closer, the sunglasses bodyguards stepped forward to show Chairman Na.

“It’s okay. Just move aside.”

[So. The conclusion is that the ginseng… was left behind at Naru?]

“Yes. Now that they know that you are the younger brother of the King of the Holy Kingdom, the Confederacy will not treat you lightly either.”

Kim Yang tilted his head, wondering why he was talking so calmly and confidently about leaving behind the ginseng, but it wasn’t something he couldn’t understand. Didn’t Maru also not handle it and let it go?

[Anyway, thank you for coming.]

“Thank you for coming out to greet me.”

Na Ju-yeon bowed her head slightly in gratitude. Kim Yang blinked at the polite greeting.

What is this?

The fact that she’s my fiancee and I’m so obsessed with her and the way she looks like Ki-soon, I thought she was really crazy, but she’s normal?

[Uh- yeah- go and tell that story yourself.]

“All right.”

Kiyong- Kim Yang turned around and spoke to the guards.

[Thank you for your hard work. Take care of all the blood drawn. Tonight’s dinner is a pork belly special!]

[Ouch!]

[Ouch!]

Kaaaak-

Caw!

The guards and the crows shouted in unison.
