RUST -716

A deep murderous feeling rose up as if death were there.

“uh?”

“uh···.”

“100 million!”

It was a truly unrealistic sight to see two cannibals being slaughtered in an instant, without even having time to think about what was going on.

The one controlling the spider had both of his legs blown off by the bullets Kim Yang shot and was crawling around, and the armed group members who had been defeated by the spider were rolled up like cocoons and killed by Maru’s murderous intent.

Those who were gagged with spider webs lost consciousness from the pain in their hearts and the fear that squeezed their brains.

Some were foaming at the mouth, others were gagged and choking, turning blue. They were still dying despite being treated with improved cardiac stimulants.

It was understandable when Na Ju-yeon said that perhaps living itself might be a skill. The skill called ‘living’.

Then what is ‘cutting’? Cutting a yacht, cutting a helicopter, cutting a building. Isn’t that an ability? Moving 10~12m in one step as if teleporting?

At first, it was dangerous because it overheated when I used it, but now that a new neutralizer has come out, I can just use it?

The more I looked into it, the more I realized that the Supreme Dignity was the most dignified being. Kim Yang barely managed to calm her heart that was pounding like crazy.

In her eyes, the spiders’ strange behavior was visible.

‘What is it?’

In the past, in Japan and the United States, cockroaches fled in response to the smell of the floor. Ants stopped for a moment at the smell of the floor, but rushed in following the pheromone command.

But the spider was different. It just flipped over on its stomach.

‘Is he dead?’

As Kim Yang was shaking, Ki-sun, who was gasping for breath, shouted toward Maru.

[They are hostile!]

If he was dead, his emotions wouldn’t have been read. So, he wasn’t dead, he was just pretending to be dead. Maru swung Eclipse at the shouts full of hostility.

Eclipse was sprayed with spider venom as it passed through the spiders that had flipped over on its stomach. Sizzle – Maru was unmoved as Eclipse’s surface turned white from the venom as if it had been splashed with acid.

The spiders tried to turn over and escape again, but they could not shake off Maru’s speed, which allowed him to move more than 12 meters in a single breath.

Chuhaaaaak-

The spiders, having given up on running away, desperately shot their webs toward the floor. The special webs, as thin as hair, were aimed at the floor.

Acceleration. Braking. Acceleration. Turning.

Maru dodged the spider webs with almost magical moves, but they persistently shot webs at Maru.

‘these guys.’

Clearly, I was accelerating and braking hard as I entered the shadows, so they wouldn’t have noticed in the swaying space, but they did.

Bang! That’s right. Ta-da-da-da-dang!

Phewhahaha!

Kim Yang and his guards took advantage of the opportunity and began providing support fire. The spiders, who had been attacking the floor as if they had lost their minds, suddenly gave in to the flank.

Even while being attacked from the side, the spiders knew when Maru approached like ghosts. The spider webs they had spread were entangled and spread throughout the space.

?

??

The spiders noticed that even when they moved to an empty space without touching the web, Maru stopped moving for a moment. Maru’s expression crumpled slightly as the web shot right to where he had stopped.

‘These kids definitely know where I am.’

how?

Maru jumped into the air to avoid the shot spider web.

At that moment, the spider web-spinning spider began to shake as if it couldn’t find its direction.

Land again.

The spiders’ tails point towards the floor the moment they land.

‘if?’

The floor was cut by a knife. Kwajijijijik – a slight break felt between the marks made by the knife.

‘Ha- Did you put something like this down?’

A transparent, non-stick spider web was laid on the floor.

[There was a non-sticky spider web on the floor.]

Upon hearing that sound, the guardsmen sprayed the surrounding area with flamethrowers.

Huff! Ugh! Ugh!

Those wrapped in spider webs began to wriggle like caterpillars as the surrounding area turned into a sea of ​​fire.

[If they’re all dead, we’ll have to station our troops in Richmond.]

Even while panting, Ki-sun led the guards and sorted out the armed group members.

[Take this person out here. Take that person out too.]

[Just leave it alone.]

Even in this situation, it was not Ki-sun who would take care of someone who could not let go of their hostility. As Ki-sun and the guards took away the prey, the spiders tried not to miss even the prey that was left behind.

Only then did I express my hostility and resentment and ask for my life, but that’s what emotions are. Being truly grateful for my life and asking for my life, saying that I won’t leave you alone as long as you survive, were two different emotions.

Now, Ki-soon could tell them apart. He had learned through practice and experience that even similar emotions could have different contents.

There, Ki-sun served as a living radar.

[3 o’clock! A spider 5 meters high!]

bang!

It seemed like it was shot into the air, but the spider’s characteristic body fluid burst out, revealing the appearance of a chameleon spider.

[Shoot!]

Drumroll please!

Tada dadadang!

The spider that received concentrated fire was torn to pieces in an instant.

[6 o’clock back there! It’s on the wall!]

The reason I was able to catch the spider that was hiding like a chameleon was because I could see the colors of its emotions. Unlike the beginning, when it was still and had no emotions or life.

After the one controlling the spiders lost consciousness due to excessive bleeding, the spiders began to live on their own. Various emotions were revealed, and the fact that emotions were revealed meant that they would definitely fall for Ki-soon regardless of whether they were hiding or not.

[In order of best performance.]

Kim Yang praised Ki-sun as she fired a bullet at the spot she had pointed at with her finger. Ki-sun, who had barely escaped Maru’s murderous intent, looked around.

Now, the few remaining emotions were mostly confusion and a desire to live. And then there was Maru, who was walking across the ceiling like Spider-Man.

?

Ki-sun couldn’t help but curse at the sight of Maru floating in the air.

[Fuck–]

Maru cut off all of the spider’s legs, leaving only the body, and squeezed the spider’s abdomen to make it shoot a web, and then caught the spiders hanging in the air by climbing the web.

[Oh- ohhhhhh- me too.]

Kim Yang, who saw the sight, started poking the spiders lying on the floor with the muzzle of her gun. There was no response when she pressed their stomachs to see if they were all dead.

She continued to press the barrel of her gun against the spider’s stomach with a gloomy expression. How long had it been? Was there a single living spider? A spider that spewed out webs with a squeaking sound.

It was good.

Kim Yang pulled out the vibrating cutter with a bright face. Only the primitive colors of begging to be spared and wanting to live emerged from the spider whose legs were slowly being cut off while it was still alive.

Ki-soon said with a frown.

[Ha- Do you really have to do that right now?]

[huh!]

‧

The spiders disappeared in an instant.

There were a lot of dead spiders, but there were also quite a few that escaped.

[How do you do that? Swish, swish – jumping across spider webs.]

Kim Yang said with a strong gaze toward Maru.

[That’ll be later. Let’s sort things out here first.]

“Okay, but you have to tell me quickly.” She signaled with her eyes and quietly stepped aside.

[Why did you save those people?]

It was Maru who did not understand why he saved the Sandstone Clan and the Montrose Family, who were tacitly in league with them.

[If they all die, it will be the weak who will get hurt.]

If those who have taken their place disappear, conflicts will grow to fill the empty space, and armed conflicts will inevitably occur. In that case, it is the ordinary people who are actually at risk.

Maru nodded slightly, saying, ‘Hmm.’ He knew why Ki-soon became obsessed with the theory of goodness, and why she showed a tendency to be obsessed with goodness, whether it was love or not.

[Okay, but as we first discussed, we won’t be taking the people in Richmond to the Holy Kingdom. Do you agree?]

[···okay.]

The Holy Kingdom couldn’t save everyone. It had to admit that. Maybe when time passed and the technology that had reached the singularity could be realized in reality, but not now.

Maru prioritized safety and survival within the fence. What if the outside of the fence became unsafe and difficult to survive?

Maru’s idea was that if they had the time and resources to bother with it, they should make the fence higher and stronger.

[What happened to the guy who controlled the spider?]

[It died. From excessive bleeding. I applied a new type of hemostatic agent and the bleeding stopped, but it was too late.]

[Cannibals? They cut off their heads to preserve their heads.]

[Its head is gone too. It looks like the spiders stole it.]

[A spider?]

[All the people were wrapped in spider webs, so they were spiders. And the people that Ki-soon had caught were all taken away by the spiders.]

‘Why the head?’

Maru’s brow furrowed. With the cannibalistic virus becoming less contagious, the days of being infected by cannibal bites are long gone.

When a concentrated part of the virus, such as the heart or brain, is contaminated, it becomes a cannibal. But why did it carry the head?

[First, we need to track down the spider that escaped and clean it up.]

[Right now?]

Even if extermination was difficult, at the very least, the guy carrying the cannibal’s head had to be found and killed.

They are already creatures that grow stronger by eating humans, so I didn’t know what kind of mutation would occur if they ate the head of a cannibal.

‘The worst thing would be that I would gain the psychic powers unique to cannibals.’

Without the ability to control spiders, spiders and humans would not be able to communicate. Even a nurse who can communicate with animals at the level of a Druid cannot communicate with ants, spiders, or cockroaches.

In such a situation, if you acquire the psychic abilities unique to cannibals, it would be the same as a spider awakening its psychic abilities.

One of the reasons I hunt cannibals and vampires is because they affect the human psyche, so I couldn’t just leave those spiders alone.

Where did the spider run off with the heads and people?

The guy who controlled the spider would know.

[The guy who controlled the spider. Let’s extract information before the body decays.]

[Okay.]

Summer, the season that decays in an instant.

Maru inserted an information extractor into the head of the corpse that Kim Yang had brought in.

Porrrrrrrrrr-

The mass-produced brain-boosting information extractor reacted violently and information began to appear on the monitor.

(A new aircraft carrier has begun construction at the Newport News Shipyard.)

In the background, which appears to be somewhere in China, the face of a person in a high position can be seen. It was the background before the mutant virus incident.

(It turns out that cannibals can control cockroaches.)

(···You succeeded in developing the ability to control spiders?)

(With that ability, you should be able to extract data from the Newport News Shipyard.)

(The party has high expectations.)

China has unleashed a huge number of spies on the United States. There have been many Chinese spies who have been working as permanent spies for over 20 years, starting with students and professors.

It is now common knowledge that the blueprints for new aircraft carriers and fourth-generation fighter jets have been leaked.

This man, who could control spiders, had been living in Richmond before the incident.

(Chijijijik- Expanding power from within- chijijijik-)

After the video ended just before the exchange of nuclear bombs between the United States and the United States, the rate of decay was so fast that no further information could be extracted.

[Hmm- First of all, let’s warn General Dan because there might be spies like this in the Empire.]

[We also have access to Canada.]

[The lie detector technology has improved so much that we can filter out close to 90% of them, and with Erica’s help, we can easily detect the rest.]

Ki-soon has now signaled that he will return to his duties as Governor General of Canada.

[Okay. Let’s go and sort that part out.]

[I get it.]

Maru spoke behind Ki-sun’s back as he was about to leave for Canada.

[Thank you for your hard work.]

[······.]

It was clearly Gi-sun who saved the lives of so many people from the armed group.

After Ki-soon left, Maru sorted out the situation.

[Then let’s start by hearing the reason for the strike.]

There is a way to know without saying anything, so it is okay to keep your mouth shut.

People’s eyes turned to the information extractor in Maru’s hand.
