RUST -610

A tightly closed hatch.

Even if I listened carefully, there was no sound.

“······.”

······

It wasn’t just silence.

There was something indescribable there, and even the air was holding its breath.

As if the warmth I felt when I was held in your arms was fake.

An indescribable fear made the sensation more distinct.

Ono Nanae swallowed the sound of her throat leaking out from under the damp chair.

The crow’s eyes, which had been wide open as if stimulated by the sobbing, came into focus again.

The crow, which had been convulsing and then exhaling with a thud, let out a cracked cry.

Caww

Cackle-cackle

She was able to come to her senses because of the crows that were croaking, as if they thought she was going to die. As her shock gradually subsided, shame and self-loathing took its place.

Could anything be different from that time?

Nothing has changed.

Rather, it was she herself who had changed.

at that time.

What happened in that old church that looked like a fortress.

People were waiting for death. Rats surrounded the church, and only a thin flame was struggling to hold on to life.

It was the same that day too.

Darkness, fear, and death walked outside the church, and he saved people as if it were all a dream.

okay.

He saved. He saved her. He saved everyone.

But look at yourself now.

Rather than feeling gratitude and concern for Him, I feel fear and dread.

I was embarrassed and should have been ashamed.

The nurse sat down on the damp chair, put her hands together, and began to pray. The crow that had been cawing about whether or not she was going to die also quietly closed its beak.

======

The area around the snowmobile was full of rats.

The sight of napalm flames still burning here and there, melting the snow and ice, seemed so alien that it did not seem like Earth.

Maru activated the Ripper suit’s stealth function and looked around.

The melted ice turned into ice again amidst the black, blazing napalm flames, and the rising water vapor froze again, creating a thick fog.

The murderous intent of the swarm of rats writhing on the other side was directed only at the snowmobile. It seemed as if they would all rush in once the fire was extinguished, and the squeaking and encouraging sounds from behind were loud.

‘You’ve grown a lot.’

If it had grown this big, the PD would have been on guard, but seeing as he didn’t, it seems like these guys used their brains and put the small rats in the lead.

The rats that acted as the poison swarm in the middle and those further back were slightly larger. A formation similar to the rat pack that devoured an entire village in the past.

At first, they were pushing forward with numbers, forcing us to expend ammunition and napalm, and then they were blatantly showing their intention to rush in and finish us off.

Jjieeeek-

Even though there were still embers left in the fire, the rats began to swarm.

A swarm of rats surged forward like sewer water flowing backward. The rats, squirming and squirming, struggled desperately to keep from being pushed to the front, but it was no use.

The flames may have dimmed, but the fire is still a fire.

The rats that were being burned to death in the order they came in made a terrible sound. While the ones in front were being burned to death, the ones behind them were rising.

Maru stood still as he watched the spectacle surge in like a tsunami. In an instant, the rats surrounding the snowmobile began to step on each other and tangle, forming a semicircle.

The mouse, unable to find a place to hide because of the hidden floor, squeaked, saying, ‘There’s something here.’

Crunch crunch

Crackle crackle

It was lost in the sound of gloves creaking.

Sizzle!

No, seriously, what is here!

As I bit into the empty space where nothing was visible, the stealth module crackled and small sparks flew out.

Look at this!

Look at this!

What happened!

What exploded at that moment.

■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■—–

Was that an indescribable horror?

Something beyond the fear of death itself became death.

······

······

······

The swarm of rats that had been tangled and swarming like a mountain froze in place. At the same time, the sound disappeared from the space with a radius of more than 25 meters.

······

······

······

The space that had been so noisy suddenly became quiet.

Sizzle!

The wave of rats that had stopped for a moment began to move again.

Rats, which had been digging through the bulging piles of corpses like grave robbers, gnawed at the exposed armor of the snowmobile.

And again, death spread around the snowmobile.

■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■—–

It seemed as if I could see the waves passing through the pile of corpses.

After that creepy thing swept through, all that was left were corpses.

A group of people who were frozen in place with their mouths wide open, their forelegs crawling, and their heads held high.

Lord. Are you dead?

As thousands of them died in succession without any explanation, even the poisonous rats didn’t know what to do. The same goes for the noble rats who were giving orders from behind.

If I were killed by a human bullet, I wouldn’t be afraid. If I were killed by a hot flame, it would be the same. The ammunition would run out and the flames would go out.

But what is this now?

There were no warning signs or reactions.

Nerve gas?

Do you have any tolerance?

An unknown fear enveloped tens of thousands of rats.

The moment the swarm of rats that had been surging forward like a tsunami stopped, Maru burst through the pile of corpses that had been piled up like a tomb and ran.

???

!!!!!

To the rats, it looked like the pile of corpses had suddenly split open and something had come out from inside.

When one of the third generation mice saw that sight, he remembered the words and scriptures that the first and second generation mice had said.

An early record of a death god in human form attacking rats.

Sizzle? (God of Death?)

As the god of death spread out, a powerful shout erupted from behind.

Tsk tsk! (There is no such thing as a god of death!)

If there is a god of death, what is the monster? What was the god of death doing while the white monster was slaughtering us!

The god of death rides on a human vehicle? He’s just a human. If you hold a human here, a monster will come and kill the human!

An eclipse fell on the head of the rat that was shouting with full of dominance.

Kwajik-

The Eclipse that was digging into the solid skull stopped in the middle. Maru frowned slightly at the feeling similar to when he killed the king rat that had awakened its ability.

Quatre duddeuk-

As I forcibly lowered the blade that had stopped in the middle, the rat split into crooked halves and split left and right. The rats next to it immediately rushed towards the floor.

Jjiiiiiik!! (Kill him over there!!)

As traces of broken hiding modules and blood spurting from the noble rats cut in half were revealed, my courage grew stronger. And that was what Maru was after.

‘We’ll kill as many people as possible here.’

Jeeeeeeek! (The brain is mine!)

Jjii! Jjii! (Guts! Guts!)

And then something passed by and hit the rats that were rushing towards them.

■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■—–

As if touched by the hand of the god of death, the rushing rats turned into corpses. The one that jumped died in midair and fell down. The one that was swinging its front paws also froze in that position.

A herd of rats that had been running wildly suddenly stopped.

You’re human?

This is. Human?

The moment they flinched and stopped, the swarm of rats split in two. The severed pieces began to stretch out as if a red carpet had been laid out.

???

The hiding module was partially broken and blood splattered here and there, so the rats could see a blurry afterimage. Wherever it passed, only death remained.

If they were all stuck together, they would turn into corpses on the spot for some reason. If they weren’t stuck together, they would just be torn to pieces like they are now. Does that make sense?

iced coffee-

Yeah, that was it.

There was a god of death.

If this is not the god of death, then what is the god of death?

The last thing the 5th generation rat saw was

piece.

cutting.

interior decoration.

Blood.

It was death walking above it.

Ms. Kim was furious.

‘These kids!’

A monster that looked like a badger ran away and was replaced by a swarm of rats? So you’re saying that they took the medicine and the bomb, but are still loyal to the badger monster?

[Transmission and reception are not possible due to radio interference.]

As the density of mutant monsters increased, a radio interference phenomenon occurred.

[Can you find any trace of the white guy who ran away?]

[Uncertain due to possibility of sensor malfunction.]

Not only the communication functions, but also the radar and some sensors showed errors.

[At least roughly.]

[The 3 o’clock direction is the most likely.]

First, ignore the rats. The target is that badger. If you kill it by grabbing its head, the rest will fall apart.

Wasn’t it the same when you worked at a company? Once you caught the boss, the rest was a breeze.

Kim Yang began to spray 20mm bullets at the approaching swarm of rats. The swarm of rats was destroyed with a sound that sounded more like a swarm of wasps fluttering around than a gunshot.

The direction the 20mm chain gun was pointed at was literally being erased. Whether it was a block of ice covered with snow or a car sleeping inside, holes were ripped through it.

‘What are these?’

Despite that, the rats began to surround Kim Yang’s exosuit. Aren’t they afraid of death? How could they be?

Being smart means having a good imagination. And the moment you can imagine death, you start to fear it.

‘But why aren’t these kids scared?’

No way. Medicine?

Kim Yang ended up laughing. So you’re saying that you’re going to attack after taking the medicine we gave you?

[Preparing to spray napalm]

[Prepared to spray.]

[arson]

Whoosh whoosh!

Kim Yang’s exosuit, which burned its surroundings and became a fireball itself, started running in the 3 o’clock direction. Sparks fell with every step.

[A C-]

There was no trace of the white guy in the direction he ran, flying sparks. Even the rats that had taken poison did not rush towards him, as if they did not like the flames, but stayed away and surrounded him.

Kim Yang felt uneasy. That was the medicine the rats ate. Once you take it, it makes you turn around and forget your fear. They took it and they didn’t jump into the fire pit?

‘That’s weird.’

Although something felt out of place, Ms. Kim decided to focus on the visual information on the HUD (Head Up Display).

In the distorted sensor information here and there, there was something moving slowly around her, surrounded by a swarm of rats, indicated by red dots. The red dots that had been densely packed together were splitting to both sides.

‘That’s him.’

Kim Yang aimed at the one moving across the distorted starting information. Even though it was a 20mm chain gun, it was a new exosuit, so there was no problem with recoil control.

‘So that he doesn’t realize he’s been caught.’

With eyes that flashed like an eagle’s, Kim Yang waited for an opportunity. Trying to process too much visual information at once gave her a headache.

The moment Ms. Kim groaned, unable to bear it any longer, the traces of the thing between the red dots disappeared.

Dig your eyes and look down?

Or jump?

Kim Yang immediately raised his gun towards the sky.

Actions based more on instinct than logical judgment.

A raccoon about two meters tall was jumping lightly in the air.

Clank-

The raccoon’s face was filled with a puzzled expression. It was as rich in expression as a human being.

‘How did you know?’

[How would you know, you little punk. Well.]

Kim Yang pulled the trigger firmly.

As the dull gunshot and impact sound turned the white floating in the air into red rags, the crumpled and distorted sensors slowly began to work.

Beep beep beep-beep beep—beep——

‘You little rats…’

If you hit the leader, they’ll run right away?

If I had enough bullets, I would have shot the fleeing ones in the back of the head with a 20mm. The 20mm is good, but the ammunition volume was too large.

Hehehehe-

She grabbed the hind legs of the newly caught badger monster and dragged it.

Light footsteps

Kiyung-

A rewarding step today too

Kiyung-

What she saw was Maru stabbing a rat corpse with a knife.

[What are you doing?]

Kujik-

As the blade was stuck in the head of the rat, which seemed to be a little large, a slight vibration was felt.

[huh?]
