RUST -659

[Stay. Step back.]

Kim Yang’s gun did not waver.

[Captain?]

[I’ve lost consciousness. I need a medic.]

The two men shouted in unison at her as she backed away by shaking her gun.

[They were perched on the wall.]

[The floor, the ceiling, the walls were all covered with them.]

Kim Yang didn’t take her eyes off the story that the bastards had not come out of the wall, but were camouflaging themselves into the walls, ceiling, and floor.

In an instant, the unconscious man began to tremble. Seeing him tremble as if he was having an epilepsy, the two people nearby called out for a medic.

[Conscripts! Conscripts!]

[Wake up! Hold on a little longer!]

Kim Yang stopped the medic who was running towards the fallen man.

[stop.]

[Yes? But it’s dangerous.]

She was not shaken by the words of the medic. Among them, it was Miss Kim who had the most combat experience. The exosuits currently equipped by the guards also started out as Miss Kim’s exosuits.

[If there is danger, the emergency system will be activated.]

[That’s true, though.]

She had an experience where she almost got killed by Maru’s murderous intent. The way she was struggling as if she was going to die now was just uncomfortable.

‘If you’re going to die, you can’t move like that. Yeah.’

First of all, the auxiliary AI was turned off. All of the exosuits of the Royal Guard had auxiliary AI attached. But now, the auxiliary AI of these three exosuits was not working.

[Take off your helmet.]

Ms. Kim gave an order to the two people who were making a fuss.

[Captain, William is dying now.]

[Medical personnel! Do something quickly!]

[Take off your helmet. Do it.]

Clank-

Kim Yang’s 20mm dedicated Vulcan cannon was aimed.

Kick-kick-

The sound of two people who had been bowing their heads turning their necks. Their heads turned more than 90 degrees to the back of the platform and faced Ms. Kim and the other guards.

[Fuck!]

[FUCK!!!]

Doo doo doo doo doo!

Unlike the swearing guards, Kim Yang pulled the trigger first. The helmet, which could easily stop 12.7mm bullets, could not withstand 20mm special bullets.

Crunch-!! Crunch!

Creak-!! Creak creak!

The helmet made of new material burst apart, and the dark red tar tissue inside scattered in all directions.

[Captain!]

[Shut up. Flamethrower on standby!]

The guards reacted reflexively to Kim Yang’s orders. When a squad armed with flamethrowers pointed their flamethrowers at her, she immediately ordered them to put out the fire.

[Shoot!]

Flames sprayed towards the tattered, hole-riddled exosuit.

Kieeeeeeeee-

Amidst the flames of that reddening flame, a bizarre noise pierced through the mind. The sight of an exosuit with its head ripped off by a 20mm Vulcan cannon and holes all over it, twitching and twitching.

[firing!]

[Shoot without stopping until it stops completely!]

The flamethrower spewed flames.

Who fought the most monsters? Maru.

So who fought the most next to Maru? It was Kim Yang.

No matter what anyone said, the person who had the most experience with Maru’s behavior was Ms. Kim. And in the current situation, she was the one who could make the most similar choices to Maru.

[Use the pallet inside to push it to the side.]

[Are you talking about palettes?]

[Okay. Don’t touch it. Stand by with the flamethrower.]

[Okay. Okay. I understand.]

Even after pushing aside the charcoal chunks scattered in front of the vault door, Kim Yang did not let her guard down. First of all, it was because of the exosuit.

Even though they were riddled with holes from 20mm Vulcan cannons, the exosuit’s flame retardant properties were terrifyingly good.

Originally, when mutated monsters including field mice ran rampant, the armor was designed with the ability to burn them whole if necessary, so it was unaffected by the high temperature of napalm.

‘There is no movement, but there may be something inside that is holding on and not dying.’

Even the black tentacle that had bonded with Chairman Shim was like that. Kim Yang, who remembered the tiresome vitality it had shown, was not letting her guard down.

The problem was that the oxygen in the vault was rapidly consumed as it burned. There was an air circulator, but it had long since stopped.

‘The fire suppression equipment isn’t working. The emergency lights aren’t turning on.’

Although I had brought an oxygen tank in case of an emergency, I could only last about 30 hours at most.

Boom- Boom-

A small vibration was felt inside the vault as if a bunker buster had exploded nearby.

‘I didn’t know you’d be able to hold out and ambush them while we were bombing them with napalm and bunker busters. You’re tough. You little monsters.’

Kim Yang looked at the piled up gold bars and calmed her anxious heart. The heavy, yellowish gold color calmed her heart.

Even if the assistant AI on the Black Drake was a cripple, it would have sent a signal, and if it was a dedicated high-speed airship, it would have arrived in half a day or so.

Just escaping didn’t make sense. At least 10 of the guards died. Ten people died and you couldn’t even take the gold? It was impossible.

‘I can’t just go there, even if it means blowing up London.’

It wasn’t just that he couldn’t give up gold.

‘We have to wipe them out. Even if we can’t wipe them out, we have to at least kill those in London.’

The monster cubs were cosplaying as guardsmen by eating human ‘brains’. I couldn’t take off their helmets so I don’t know how they imitated humans, but they clearly called them ‘Captain.’ and looked for ‘medical soldiers.’

If these guys were communicating with each other, it meant that some of the Holy Kingdom’s information had been leaked. It was necessary to kill all of the guys in the vicinity and silence them.

Kuuung-

thud-

Kim waited for the floor, feeling the vibrations of the bunker buster falling regularly.

How much time has passed?

The bunker busters that had been falling regularly suddenly stopped.

[Bunker buster hit interrupted.]

[The napalm bombing also appears to have stopped.]

There are two situations.

Either all the bunker busters were used up, or Maru arrived and stopped the Black Drake’s auxiliary AI, Year.

Which of the two?

‘If it was an AI bitch, there’s no way she’d stop bombing just because the bunker buster fell. She’d just keep spraying napalm, which she had plenty of leftover.’

Ms. Kim could tell that Maru had arrived.

[The Most High has arrived.]

The morale of the Praetorian Guard soared at the announcement that He had come in person.

As the regular bombardment of the Black Drake ceased, the motion sensors began to activate.

A red dot appeared on the monitor, rising up from a radius of 1.8km to 2.5km around the Bank of England.

[Chiiik- The jamming is getting stronger. Should we raise our altitude? Chiiik]

A transmission from the Black Drake, which was maintaining altitude. It would be better to increase altitude to attack stably, but the situation was not so good.

“Descending.”

[Beep- Not only can it cause interference, but it can also have a negative effect on electronic equipment. Beep-]

When the monsters gathered together, there was an effect similar to jamming, as well as communication failure. Assuming they were intelligent, the higher the airship’s altitude, the more likely it was that they would spread out in preparation for a bombing attack.

On the other hand, if we lower the altitude, they will band together to increase the jamming to catch the low-flying airship. Even if it is dangerous now, we have to reduce their numbers in one go.

The new airship Black Drake and Maru’s dedicated ship should be able to hold up to some extent.

It had been quite some time since Kim Yang and his guards had taken refuge in the vault. In a sealed vault, the oxygen problem could not be ignored. Maru made a decision.

“We’ll gather them together by flying low and then carpet bomb them. Then, when the jamming weakens, we’ll mobilize drones and crows to launch a second bombing.”

[Chiiik- Order confirmed. Prepare for carpet bombing. Beep]

As Maru had predicted, as they descended to an altitude of 700m, the red dots began to merge into one and approach beneath the Black Drake.

The monitor, which displayed the overlapping of the biometric detection sensor and the motion detection sensor, was filled with red waves. Although the monitor was full of displays, all I could see was a road with nothing on it.

All that was clear was the road, blackened by napalm. There should have been black monsters visible, but nothing was visible.

‘Did the sensor malfunction because it was in their sphere of influence?’

But it felt too uncomfortable to just let it go.

“Crow Scouts. Check the road.”

[Caaaaah!]

As soon as the scout crows descended, communications and video were cut off. Jamming and interference were stronger than expected.

[Chijijijijijik- Chijieeeeeek]

The assistant AI tried to send some kind of communication, but it was all chewed up, leaving only unintelligible noise.

[The Black Drake loses balance.]

“Signal with emergency flashers. Don’t go any further, and bomb as soon as you stabilize.”

The massive Black Drake tilts and then regains its balance.

Wooooowoong- With a low sound, the external engine that had been controlling its attitude began to slowly stop. And then it was the Black Drake, which began to spray bombs.

[They say we can’t use missiles.]

[It can only maintain altitude. It is said that the powertrain failure is serious.]

Kaaaak!

The crow scouts that had gone down returned. The cameras they were wearing around their necks were broken, as if they had been hit by an EMP (electromagnetic pulse).

“I need information. Can you recover the data?”

[This ship has no recovery equipment.]

“The enemy is disguised as a road-” (The enemy is disguised as a road-)

“Caak- camouflage-capable enemy-caaaak!” (An enemy with camouflage capabilities.)

“Disguised as a road?”

“Caak!” (Yes, that’s right!)

Were you able to move in a simulated state?

The front door, windows, doors, ceiling, and walls were all secured, but it was moving along the road disguised as a road?

In this bitter cold weather?

Maru was reminded of the actions of the English raiders who had plundered the western part of France. It was clear that they had burned people instead of just pillaging and leaving.

At the time, all I could tell was that they burned people with psychometry. After that, I thought that they were transformed into slug cannibals and slug zombies and killed them, but what if that wasn’t the case?

What if the British raiders fought the mimic monsters and escaped them by crossing the frozen English Channel to France?

The assistant AI reported, as if to interrupt the continuing thoughts.

[Black Drake’s mobility restored by 30%.]

[Requesting elevation increase.]

Maru gathered his thoughts. In order to deal with the imitation monster, the first priority was to quickly rescue Kim Yang and the guards.

“Bomb the surrounding roads.”

[Order given.]

A giant airship slowly moves and begins to spray napalm. The streets of London become a sea of ​​fire.

“Drone strikes are being called off.”

[Stop preparing for drone strikes.]

“Bomb the Crow Squadron only. Target all buildings adjacent to the Bank of England. Turn the entire area into a sea of ​​fire.”

[Caak!] (Okay!)

The area around the Bank of England and the International Gold Exchange was turned into a sea of ​​fire.

‘The new exosuit is resistant to fire. If we create a sea of ​​fire and suppress their movements, they won’t miss that opportunity.’

Maru trusted Kim Yang’s judgment.

“Keep bombing so the fire doesn’t go out.”

Napalm was falling endlessly. Kim Yang’s eyes gleamed as the barrage of bombs poured down so hot that it filled the basement of the Bank of England.

[Did you get everything?]

[I’ve reached the weight limit.]

Kim Yang was determined to take advantage of the fire to move the gold. All he had to do was go back and forth through the fire.

As the thick vault door opened, hot flames were spurting out. Somehow napalm had been sprayed, burning all the way to the basement level.

‘As expected, the highest dignity.’

I believed it. Kim Yang went up with her heavy-handed guards. The whole place was burning like hell.

And then there was the Black Drake, swimming slowly and dropping bombs, and the Maru Airship glowing white in the distance.

[Huhhhhhhhhh-]

Exosuits with clear traces of napalm burns were piling up gold. Kim Yang’s laughter echoed as she watched the scene.

[Hehe …

The guards glanced at Ms. Kim every now and then, laughter growing strange.

Is it really that good?

Either way, Ms. Kim was happy.

Were you locked in a safe? Were you in danger?

Wouldn’t it be nice to live with gold?

Maru approaches Kim Yang like that.

She stopped laughing at the sight of Maru approaching with brisk steps.

Somehow, I had a strange feeling.

Hiccup-

Huh? Why are you hiccuping all of a sudden?

Srrrrrrrr-

Maru, who had pulled out Eclipse, looked around and said.

[Take off your helmets. Everyone.]
