RUST [RUST]-717

“There are too many people who are stuck with spiders.”

Kim Yang wrinkled her nose as she looked at the lined up Brain Dungdung information extractors. The mass-produced Brain Dungdung information extractors were originally only able to extract information from one person, but the new models were able to extract information from up to three people.

Even among the regular armed groups, not just the Montrose family and the Sandston clan, there were at least two or three people who had been caught with spiders, and there were four more people who could control spiders, excluding the dead Chinese.

“We’ll have to find the spider controllers later and start tracking down the spiders that took away the cannibal head and the Montrose and Sandstone people.”

“You said you might have set a trap?”

“If you analyze the spiders’ fighting patterns so far, that’s true.”

“But is there really a need to go right away? Since you said you’d call the crow bombing squad, I think it would be better to just bomb them first and then go in.”

Kim Yang’s words also made sense.

“They must have prepared countermeasures since they have already experienced wide-area bombing.”

They may have taken civilians hostage, or they may have taken up residence deep underground in buildings rather than in ordinary houses, or they may have gone down into the sewers.

“Ah, if we could use drones and robots, it would be quick.”

Drones and robots cannot be used near areas where spider webs are clumped together, as the spider webs contain radio-interference ingredients.

Naturally, in places where spider webs were tangled up, even the exosuit was affected. From small sensor problems to large control problems.

“We have to catch them before they evolve further in terms of jamming and interference with electronic devices.”

Since the exosuit was out, naturally, there was no one left to go outside. The Ripper suit was basically just bulletproof, coldproof, and flameproof, except for the helmet equipment and the hiding module.

The Vampiric tights worn inside were also made of biological tissue, so they were semi-alive tights, and not a suit with electronic equipment as its main equipment. Perhaps because of this, they were not greatly affected by spider webs or spider electronic interference.

“Is that a blood sucker? Then what about me? I don’t have any?”

Kim Yang was very interested in Maru’s blood-sucking trinkets. In the original game, among the items that were used well until the end, there was bound to be at least one blood-sucking option, right?

“It’s currently in the verification testing phase, so if there are no issues with stability, it will be issued to the Royal Guard first.”

“Can’t I do a verification experiment too?”

“Let’s go back and check.”

“Yeah. But is it okay for Ki-soon to just go? Seeing emotions, isn’t that perfect for figuring out where spiders hide?”

If you go with Ki-sun, it would be easy to find the hidden chameleon spiders with the ability to read emotions, but on the other hand, the spiders who have experienced Ki-sun once would have no choice but to respond.

‘I’ll focus on Ki-sun.’

That means Maru’s movements are limited, and the spider specialized in handling small webs. It will try to entangle Maru’s movements with its webs.

It would be good if I had the ability to see Ki-soon’s emotions, but I didn’t need to take the risk. Why bother with that when the risk of loss is greater than the expected benefit?

There was a reason why Ki-soon, who had guessed how Maru was handling things, said that he would return to Canada, and why Maru sent him off coolly.

At Maru’s brief explanation, Ms. Kim let out a subtle snort.

“There have been a lot of incidents in Canada, too. We need to sort that out. It’s been a while since Ki-soon left. We’re also planning to send Hee-yeon and the U+ clone unit to Canada.”

“Is it okay if I just send it? Mark 2. You look anxious.”

“That’s why I’m spending it with Ki-soon. Since I can see Ki-soon’s emotional changes, it won’t end up in the worst situation.”

Oh- the highest dignity.

As expected, I had thought about everything.

Kim Yang praised Maru with wide eyes.

At that bright praise, Maru changed the topic with a cough.

“Then I’ll start chasing the spider. You and your SS will clear Richmond International Airport when the Crow Bombardment arrives.”

“Okay.”

Maru described what he saw as he passed by Richmond International Airport.

“The spiders that took over the international airport are making cotton candy-like structures. I don’t know what they are, so don’t get close. Either use a flamethrower to kill them from afar, or use a crow bomber to bomb them in an area first.”

“I will do that.”

Maru immediately started chasing the trail left by the spiders.

There was a trace of something heavy being dragged in the direction where the spider web was broken and crushed.

‘The traces are blatant. They could have hidden them with spider webs, but they didn’t.’

Those who were taken by the spider were the lower species of humans who had fallen out of the classification of emotions. And that meant that most of them were members of the Montrose Family or the Sandstone Clan.

‘They say they’re stuck to spiders… How interesting.’

Because it was a story about how he was dragging along people he thought were on the same side after beating their leaders.

‘There are four other authors who can control spiders, so it could be their trick.’

It could be a trap.

Since I had a makeshift spider web launcher(?), I could easily avoid traps laid on the ground.

‘Does this work?’

A thread thinner than a hair, spewed out by a palm-sized spider, was stronger than any special instructor.

A spider that can shoot thread in real time that can support Maru’s body weight and kinetic energy is quite useful.

Clink – The spider web shot towards the electric pole clung to it.

At the same time, Maru’s body floated up. The strong elasticity like a rubber band created acceleration and shot Maru into the air.

As he fell from the highest point, the spider web shot out again and headed towards the roof of the five-story building. Maru’s body, which had been falling in free fall, came down as if he was riding a swing and then floated up again.

Maru’s eyes, which had skipped 400 to 500 meters in just a few seconds, did not miss the clear traces on the road.

Ms. Kim, who arrived at Richmond International Airport with her escort, was able to see the strange structure right away. It looked like a giant cotton candy that was puffed up and fluffy.

‘What the hell are you spider bitches thinking?’

There were probably hundreds, thousands, or maybe even tens of thousands.

The sight of the structures densely packed along the entire airport runway swaying in the wind was truly bizarre.

[There are a lot of spider webs on the floor.]

[You have to get 3~4km closer to light it with a flamethrower.]

Spider webs on the way to the international airport and on the exterior walls of buildings on both sides of the road leading to the airport.

‘The spider bitches are on the defensive.’

Hehehe – What should I do?

‘Isn’t this really ambiguous?’

If you were to burn the cobwebs on the floor and the buildings, you would inevitably run out of flamethrower ammo.

But if I just went like that, the exosuit’s performance would hit rock bottom because of the spider webs, and maybe even its functions would stop.

[Bring the kids with holes in their heads. Bring all the supplies they were supposed to give us.]

Mr. Kim was a frugal pragmatist.

Not everyone who was subjected to information extraction died. Some people survived by using rapid healing agents or applying new hemostatic agents to the punctured holes.

It would take a few weeks of recuperation to be properly treated, but after all, weren’t they the ones who betrayed the Holy Kingdom? What’s the problem with moving forward after clearing the cobwebs with these guys?

Men with square bandages on their heads, armed with flamethrowers and guns, began to advance toward the international airport.

Puhwaaaaaaaaaa – As the standard flamethrower spewed fire, the spider web lost its adhesive and shrank into squid legs.

[4 o’clock! Spider appears on top of the building!]

At the shouts of the guards, about half of the guns were aimed at the top of the building at 4 o’clock. Suppressive fire followed. The fire suppressed a certain area and attacked the spider moving at high speed along the web.

‘It’s pretty good, isn’t it?’

It seemed as if the traitors hadn’t been betraying from the beginning, as they had fought against the spiders. With the traitors in the lead, they advanced forward, and Kim Yang and the guards followed them, heading to the airport.

As we approached the airport, the spider webs became thicker. And the spiders continued to attack. As Kim Yang had predicted, the spiders were inducing a war of attrition.

If we hadn’t stolen supplies and created a vanguard of traitors, we would have had to give up on reaching the airport due to the lack of supplies and firepower.

[The sensor is dead.]

[The exosuit’s output has also been slightly reduced.]

[The response speed has also decreased.]

[The spiders are weaving webs again on the retreat route.]

Kim Yang’s eyes narrowed.

[Distribution?]

[Bring everything so there is plenty.]

[If you have enough supplies, that’s fine. Just keep burning them with flamethrowers and break through. Continue the operation as ordered.]

The highest command must be carried out. Isn’t that what the guards are supposed to do? It’s not like we’re short on supplies.

[If the traitors seem to be doing anything wrong, just shoot them. Don’t hesitate, just shoot them.]

[four.]

[ancient!]

Kim Yang and his guards advanced on the road made with the blood of traitors.

After some time had passed, crows were seen flocking from afar like dark clouds.

[Communication?]

[It’s a dead end.]

[Shoot a signal flare.]

Boom- Boom Boom-

The signal flare that had risen high into the sky disappeared in a puff of smoke and light. It had revealed its location, so there would be no misfire, and even if there was a misfire, the exosuit could withstand several rounds.

[Okay. There’s that cotton candy-like structure over there. Set it on fire. Then, as promised, you’re free.]

Kim Yang led the traitors to the end. If he sent them alone, there was a chance they would stick to the spider, but would they stick even after being hit by the bullet?

‘It doesn’t matter.’

Even if they were to be reattached to the spider, the traitors would have no choice but to survive. The crow bombing squad had arrived, and the traitors would have no choice but to be hit by the bombing and die, unless they were spiders who could move nimbly over the web.

The only way to survive is to set fire to the structure and come here to avoid the bombing. Just as the traitors were about to approach the white structure, the side of the road opened up and a spider dragged the traitors in.

[You made a lid by cutting asphalt?]

[The ground is crawling.]

[Lying in ambush at the crossroads leading to the structure.]

The traitors began to resist desperately. The guards added firepower, but the spiders’ attacks were surprisingly effective.

As the traitors and the guards were all focused on the Ground Spider, who was waiting in a trap dug underground, something fell from the sky.

[It’s a jumping spider!]

A jumping spider jumped over the building and attacked. I was so focused on the ground spider that I didn’t prepare for the jumping spider falling from the sky.

Jumping spiders bit the necks and faces of the traitors who had almost reached the structure. As the jumping spiders attacked, the ground spiders also bit the ankles of the traitors.

“Eww! Neck! Neck!”

“Shoot!”

“Don’t shoot!”

“There’s a spider behind me!”

“Don’t shoot!”

“Lord. Die!!!”

The moment the panicked man pulled the trigger of his flamethrower toward the spider aiming for his ankle, the man holding the flamethrower exploded with a loud bang.

A 7~8m radius turned into a sea of ​​fire and the formation was destroyed. Flames and gunshots began to sweep in like spiders, without distinguishing between sides.

And in the midst of that chaos, cotton candy-like structures began to rise into the sky. One rose, and then another, white structures rose up one after another.

‘What is that?’

As the white cotton candy, which must have numbered in the thousands or even tens of thousands, rose into the sky, it looked like white puffy clouds had bloomed.

And then, as if contrasting the white clouds, black clouds approached Richmond International Airport.

Kaaaak!

Caw!

Kyaaaaah!

As the cawing of crows filled the sky above Richmond International Airport, the cotton candy structure began to open and tiny spiders began to jump out, deploying parachutes made of spider webs.

Kim Yang’s pupils grew wide.

‘That structure, was it something like a balloon?’

A swarm of small spiders pouring down on a formation of crows just as they were preparing to bomb the airport.

Caw?

Dare to fly in the air on the subject of spiders?

Even if it was a spider web, it was only at the level of paragliding. It was impossible to keep up with the crow’s flight ability.

I’ll eat you in the air.

The crows extended their beaks toward the spider that had jumped from the structure. And what awaited them was a spider web thinner than a hair.

A spider web spread between structures.

The spider webs that filled the sky were targeting crows.

Kaaaak! (It’s a spider web!)

Caw! (Damage!)

Caw- Caw! (No spider web can stop us!)

Black clouds began to fall in a mottled fashion amid the white puffy clouds that dominated the sky above Richmond International Airport.

The spider webs shot out from the structure and the spiders flying around in the flight room began to spread out, encroaching upon the vast sky.

It literally seemed as if the sky itself had become a net. The crows, entangled in the webs, could not flap their wings and began to fall freely.

puck!

The black feathers that had landed on the runway were dyed red with a dull noise. The fallen debris was dragged in by a nearby ground spider.

Kaaaak! (Raise altitude! Bomb the structure first.)

The leader of the crow squadron led the formation, saying that they should bomb the structures floating in the sky before bombing the airport. The crows began to increase their altitude following the leader, and then dropped their bombs.

Cackle- Cackle! (Eat this!)

Kaaaak! (Die!)
