Rust - Chapter 673



Only Krnovel

RUST -673

As expected from the United States, the water park was quite large. It had a huge pool, an artificial wave generator, and even a Guinness Book of World Records-registered ride, giving it an enormous facility and area.

“But is there only one drain on the official design drawing?”

[Yes. I checked the drawings placed in the building and there was only one drain.]

Maru frowned as he looked at the drainage ditch on the drawing. Even though he checked the drawing with his own eyes, the feeling of discomfort did not go away. That meant there was something wrong.

‘This is not the drain that is shown here.’

First of all, it was too narrow. Of course, I could crawl out by lying down, but would I escape by crawling through a narrow drain when the drone was chasing me?

‘That can’t be true.’

“Use a reconnaissance drone to search the surrounding area. There must be another drain or entrance besides this one.”

[We will scout out to Canyon Lake.]

It was certainly a novel idea to hide the real headquarters of the Virginia Langley Company under the water park. With so many people looking for it, it was easy to hide it in the crowds as they came in and out.

‘You’ve found a good spot.’

It was also suitable for running a laboratory. Even if it used electricity and water, it would be able to pass without a problem because it was a water park, and the same goes for waste disposal. It would be enough to sneak in waste disposal from a large number of people.

‘I hope all the data doesn’t get blown away by the EMP.’

[We have won the battle.]

Maru fixed the screen at the artificial intelligence’s report.

Taking control of the underground facility went smoothly. The AI-controlled combat drones pressed the enemy in unison like ants.

I don’t know why they created such a large open space underground, but the sight of them fighting drones and cannibals in a space twice the size of an indoor soccer field was like a scene from a movie.

‘Shock-absorbing bulletproof shield and pile driver?’

A close combat unfolded, as if we had returned to the Middle Ages. Contrary to expectations, the cannibals quickly neutralized a large number of drones, but that was all.

The battle drone, which can freely move along ceilings and walls, uses its unique mobility to destroy the enemy’s main force and defense lines, and the outcome is decided by that.

[As a result of extracting information from the enemy’s brain, it was found that they were a unit called Knight.]

Perhaps because they were headquarters staff who had been supplied with ample human flesh, the physical abilities of the knights who participated in the battle were incomparably superior to those of ordinary low-level cannibals.

‘Those cannibals… They did this even though I didn’t give them any time.’

If you gave it a few days, it would have eaten people and become stronger. It’s already stronger than expected, but if it had gotten any stronger, it would have been difficult to use only combat drones.

[As a result of analyzing the data obtained so far, the enemy’s knight-level combat troops are on par with the Royal Guard.]

Physical abilities that are almost like those of a mid-level cannibal. In terms of simple output, it is comparable to the power of a new exosuit.

If you add the cannibal’s characteristic quick reflexes to this, it would be difficult to guarantee victory even for the bodyguards armed with exosuits.

[···The current exosuit’s armor is not capable of stopping the Confederate pile driver.]

“I guess I’ll have to give it a try. Let me know if you spot those knights outside.”

[All right.]

Maru walked along the river that led around the water park. Tiny drones that flew silently were busily moving around.

Kwaaaaang!

The explosion and flames rising from afar seemed to have blown up the gas station. It was evidence that the guards and the punitive force were also steadily driving away the cannibals.

The battle situation that appeared on the HUD (Head Up Display) was going smoothly. After breaking through the two defensive lines, the enemies were being defeated one by one without being able to establish a proper defensive line.

‘It’s strange?’

It’s not like there aren’t any knights, which are high-level troops, so why are they suddenly being pushed back so helplessly? When I looked closely at the video, I saw that the chain of command was not as united as it was at first, but was playing around separately.

Maru intuitively felt that the orders from the higher entity had been cut off.

I remembered the first cannibal subjugation in New York. When the deputy mayor of New York, who had become a high-ranking cannibal, was killed, those under him each played around separately.

The same goes for the criminal organization that became a cannibal. After cutting off the head, the rest scattered in groups of three or five. So does that mean the head is dead? Who killed it?

Crunch!

‘A true craftsman blames his tools.’

huh.

It was natural for a master to use luxury equipment. And now, her exclusive exosuit was a luxury item itself.

Hehehehe-

Kim Yang proudly linked the scope and HUD. The figures of the guys appeared on the cool 16K screen.

As we zoomed in on the clean, clear screen, we saw guys in shiny, form-fitting suits.

Kim Yang couldn’t help but chuckle at the sight of the men’s clothing, which seemed to have something on them.

‘They say that if you follow Baekjeong, you will meet Wang Geon.’

In order to secure a great position, the most important thing is performance. In a company and in an organization, the most important thing is performance.

So what is needed to improve performance? Skill is one thing, but it is important to seize the opportunity to demonstrate your skills. No matter how good your skills are, the moment you are pushed to the back, it is over.

And Kim Yang was confident that she could find a place to demonstrate her skills. Even now, Bora, Maru was moving strangely, so she followed him and did something.

‘Let’s see.’

The distance is quite far and it’s a Vulcan cannon, so it’s a bit tricky to shoot with natural bread. In this case, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to use the new update.

As soon as I started the aiming assist program, various indicators appeared. Humidity, wind direction, wind speed, enemy movement speed, and even a ballistic prediction indicator.

‘Ugh-‘

Kim Yang snorted slightly at the uneven and unsteady nature of the ballistic trajectory prediction. It was true that the formation of the bullet cluster was a bit disappointing, as it was a Vulcan gun with a high rate of fire.

‘Still, you’ve improved a lot, AI bitch.’

With the addition of artificial intelligence’s bullet prediction correction and Kim Yang’s experience, it became a collaboration of literally gangster-like attack power and rate of fire.

Whirrurururuk!

With the sound of the electric motor turning, the heads of the guys moving along the riverbank were lined up and tossed.

Kim Yang’s eyes narrowed as she looked at the HUD screen. The clothes they were wearing looked like they were executive level, so she thought she could take them down in one go, but she dodged almost half of them.

‘That much damage? This is really awesome?’

When she tried to make a surprise performance, the other side’s reaction was unusual. Ms. Kim quickly contacted Maru.

[I found some weird guys here.]

[Where?]

[Information sent now.]

Maru was speechless at the sudden appearance of Ms. Kim. We had planned to go to Dallas after finishing up in San Antonio, so why are you here all of a sudden?

[Ha… Let’s sort things out from there first and then talk.]

[······.]

Kim Yang, who avoided answering, sprayed 16 small and cute drones and then quickly retreated.

Even if Maru says that, he will say he did a good job after seeing the Wang Geon he found.

huh.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

The heads of the bodyguards exploded like eggs right before my eyes.

“Get down!”

The reason they were able to react in the comma zone was because they were high-ranking nobles. Some people, including the security team leader, instinctively avoided it, but half of them could not.

“It’s an ambush!”

“This is a secret passage, how could there be an ambush!”

“Did Joseph Meyer sell us out?”

“Which side did you attack from?”

“11 o’clock.”

“It’s a 20mm bullet. It’s a Vulcan cannon.”

The bodyguard quickly reported the scene.

“11 dead. 2 seriously injured. The seriously injured will be in trouble without fresh supplies.”

“Is it difficult with a blood pack?”

“Yes. It is a serious injury. It requires proper supply.”

“There’s nothing I can do, just let him go in peace.”

“All right.”

“And check the 11 o’clock direction.”

“Are you capturing him?”

“Just get the information and get rid of it.”

“yes.”

While the bodyguards were doing their job, the security team leader looked around. The long stretch of riverside was deserted.

‘If we can only win over Vladimir Kalin, we will have true freedom.’

‘It is to become a true new human race, free from cannibalism and bloodsucking.’

Suddenly, things like natural(?) nobles and beings chosen by human evolution came to mind. It was the first time that the chairman, who always had a blank expression and whose likes and dislikes were unclear, reacted so openly.

‘Vladimir Kalin is the future and key to the new humanity.’

It’s possible that everything was a lie, just like Joseph Myerney, but given that he suddenly stopped working on the Holy Kingdom, it’s probably safe to assume that he was somewhat sincere.

And that damn future and key are trying to wipe us out. The security team leader looked at the blood and marrow-splattered scene and laughed in vain.

President Joseph Meyer made a mistake. If he really was the pinnacle of the new human race, why would he join hands with them?

He was already the king of a kingdom, he had beasts loyal to him, and he had believers who believed in him. Where would we fit in there?

‘What was the chairman thinking?’

How could you mess with that guy that he broke the non-aggression pact and declared war on the same day? And escaped immediately after being attacked?

“Shouldn’t you move immediately from the place you’re attacked?”

“We need to move quickly. What are we going to do if they surround us?”

The voices of the survivors were getting louder. If the surviving executives moved separately, the bodyguards following them would also scatter. Then, the only thing left would be the ending of being defeated individually.

“I sent out a reconnaissance mission, so everyone, let’s calm down for a moment.”

Several executives immediately reacted angrily to the security team leader’s words.

“Relax? Is this situation really calm?”

“I was listening to you and this is what happened. Are you telling me to calm down?”

“There has to be a solution. A solution.”

“What kind of mess were we making?”

That’s why when guys who only used to write letters become executives, things get crazy.

“Why are you yelling like that? Huh? Are you trying to lure them? If you were planning on luring them, you should have told me in advance.”

The eyes of the security team leader, whose tone of speech had changed, flashed for a moment. A strange wave of spirit spread through the frozen riverside bushes.

Shashashashashashasha-

Ss …

The sound of snow and ice crunching began to circle around the security team leader, as if spinning. Those who had been complaining about the sudden change in atmosphere shut their mouths.

“······.”

“······.”

“······.”

“······.”

As the heavy silence settled, the guard who had been sent on reconnaissance returned.

“We found a trace at 11 o’clock. It’s the trace of an exosuit armed with a 20mm Vulcan cannon.”

“What number?”

“There was only one trace.”

“···There was one?”

You pulled the trigger by yourself and got a two-digit number?

They say he pulled the trigger and moved the gun sideways to shoot. Is that possible?

Are you only aiming for the head?

There were some crazy gunslingers in the Holy Kingdom. One was a clone created by the Empire’s U+ program. The other was Yania Kim.

If the U+ clones were specialized in close-range gunfights, Yania Kim was specialized in close-range sniping. The one attacking now was most likely Yania Kim.

And the real problem was that most of the time, Jania Kim was accompanied by Vladimir Kalin.

“Go towards 11 o’clock.”

The security team leader took the lead.

With each step he took, a small rustling sound followed, while the executives and bodyguards, with their mouths shut, followed the security team leader like ducklings.

Thud thud-

Shashasha-sasasak-

A sound that had been lingering around the security team leader for some time. Then, all of a sudden, that sound stopped.

?

The security team leader stopped in his tracks and threw himself sideways as if falling over and shouted.

“Get down!”

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬—-

A long black line ripped through the space and was embedded in the security chief’s pupils. The sight of the bodyguards throwing themselves at the executives who were hesitating seemed like time had stopped.

At the same time, red drops of blood spurted out along the black lines, and the sound of bones, skin, and muscles being cut followed.

Quagagagagagagagak-

The security team leader screamed as he saw the heads of the bodyguards and executives who had been following him in a line being severed.

“Come out!”

As if responding to that desperate mental wave.

Brown antennae began to poke out through the white snow and ice.

Kilikkiririririk-

Shashashashashashashasha-
