RUST -733
Kim Yang’s eyes, which had grown wide, were filled with images of monsters being crushed. Images of them collapsing, losing their balance as flesh grew from wounds inflicted by nuclear mortars and coil guns.
I frowned at the sight of pus flowing out from between the ruptured lumps of flesh, unable to bear the weight.
The air that caused corrosion entered the wound and tore it apart, breaking and bursting. As the pus burst, volcanic ash and dust stuck to it and formed a scab, but it multiplied again and the cycle of breaking, breaking and bursting was repeated again.
this···.
‘Hold on a little longer.’
Maru’s communication came to mind.
Did you communicate knowing this would happen?
How do you know?
A state of mind prepared to die.
Her desperate and desperate heart suddenly changed its state.
‘Look at him saying he’s never going out again.’
The outside world was dangerous.
A great sidekick is nice, but isn’t this a different story?
If Japan is like this, what if China has something similar?
huh.
no.
Ms. Kim really wanted to live a long and thin life.
I vowed over and over again that I would never go anywhere unless I could at least hit the Baekjeong Call.
What a tragedy.
How desperate.
It was an emotion that didn’t really suit me.
huh.
Absolutely not.
Kim Yang, who was in hyper-focus mode at the thought that she could survive, gave the order.
[It’s okay if you don’t have the brain, just make sure you get it right!]
Once they matched, those guys’ wounds started to get really bad.
[No need to aim to kill. Just wound anywhere!]
Close combat is dangerous.
Because it eroded the drone and also eroded Mick and Sanchez who were in the back.
[Knock me off the barricade!]
[Push them away so they don’t come near!]
Kim Yang’s orders were effective.
[Push it out!]
[Shoot the central axis to bring it down!]
How much encouragement did you have?
There has been a clear decrease in the number of people climbing over the barricade.
[Captain! Their movements have become dull!]
[Take a sample. Use a robot to do it.]
[ancient.]
[If there’s anything even a little bit strange, blow it away.]
The order was to self-destruct the mining robot.
While the guards carefully collected samples, Kim Yang launched a rocket drone to check the situation.
It was necessary to check whether the guys who had been surging forward like a tsunami had suddenly stopped their attacks.
Phew!
She prefers at least 4 drones and deploys rocket drones in all directions.
‘I think the camera’s visibility has increased a little?’
I can only be thankful that the visibility has increased.
Whatever the reason, the visibility range that can be confirmed by drones increased to 15 to 20 meters, making it easier to grasp the battle situation.
?
!!!
Kim was startled by the drone footage that appeared on the HUD screen.
Waves of organisms stretched from the nuclear mortar bombardment area to the base, entangled and multiplying to form large masses of flesh.
The monsters that had rushed in, chewing up the aftermath of the nuclear explosion, were now just helpless lumps of flesh, writhing in agony.
So, when you fry hardened injeolmi in a frying pan, it spreads out and becomes sticky.
As soon as she realized the situation, she detonated the rocket drone and her eyes lit up. If things continued like this, it would be possible.
[8 minutes left! Hold on for 3 more minutes!]
I was able to hold out.
I was able to live.

After three minutes that seemed like they would never end, Kim Yang’s core armor soared into the sky.
[Power rocket booster activated!]
The retreat began as soon as the signal was received that the Black Drake was within five minutes’ range.
[After throwing a nuclear grenade, retreat at top speed!]
[Prepare to throw the nuclear grenade!]
[Nuclear grenade ready to be thrown!]
3. 2. 1.
Bounced clips rained down from the air and nuclear grenades fell like hail.
[Full speed deployment!]
Even the sticky air filled with volcanic ash and dust couldn’t stop the expedition.
□□▯■▮▮□▯▯▯▯■▮■■■▯▯▯▮▮□▯
A loud noise and heat spread through the air.
I felt bad about the automatic turrets and various supplies at the base, but I couldn’t hand them over to those who might get into trouble.
And above all, it was necessary to blow up the stronghold and the area around it, because Mick and Sanchez’s bodies were nearby, and the rocket drone that had initially been sent down into the sinkhole was nearby.
When Kim Yang worked at the company, she learned firsthand that she had to leave no trace. And even after becoming a commander, her occupational disease remained.
A signal blared on the HUD indicating that the Black Drake was approaching.
[Those with dregs attached, go to the quarantine room on your own. Rest after completing the quarantine procedure. There are no exceptions.]
None of the troops made direct contact because they avoided close combat itself, but they clung to each other, fought amongst themselves, and made a fuss, eventually spraying bodily fluids all around them.
They were the kind of guys who would spray bodily fluids everywhere like a pimple bursting, so I wondered if any of my teammates might get it on them.
While Ms. Kim was disinfecting the dedicated core armor, the emergency bell rang.
Weyong-Weyong-Weyong-
[what’s the matter?]
The Black Drake’s AI immediately reported the situation.
[One of the new recruits panicked.]
What kind of a fucking idiot is that.
That little brat should be immediately expelled from the Royal Guard and transferred to the infantry…
No. He should just be rehabilitated in disgrace.
[Throw him in the prison cell right away.]
[It’s holding a nuclear grenade.]
what?
‧
A new soldier wearing a new exosuit was threatening us with a nuclear grenade.
[Don’t come in!]
[Calm down. Calm down.]
[Don’t come in!]
[You know when that blows up, we’ll all die.]
[Yeah. We’re all going to die! That’s why I’m telling you to open the door and step back!]
[First, let’s put the safety clip back on. Put it back on and let’s talk.]
Ms. Kim, who had finally completed quarantine, arrived at the scene with a dedicated core body covered in new protective gear.
[Why is that so damned bad?]
[Ha- Traces of corrosion were found on the thigh and shoulder area.]
There was a lot of bullshit going on in real time.
[I told you to open the door!]
The screaming guy was waving his arm holding the grenade.
[He was a close friend of Mick.]
[Mick? The Mick behind him?]
[Yes. With Sanchez. That’s the guy who became like that.]
The guard who was at the rear and was eroded. It was the name of the guard whose head was blown off by Kim Yang himself.
[So what do you want?]
[I’m asking to be released from quarantine.]
[What will you do if you are released from quarantine?]
[He says he will return to the Holy Kingdom.]
how?
You’re going to threaten me with a nuclear grenade to get me to come back?
Are you crazy?
You want me to open the door and tell you that you can’t even make a squeak by making a whole frozen tuna?
You’re going to return to the Holy Kingdom in that condition? What on earth are you thinking?
[Why are you doing that? You said only those with good grades in basic education got it?]
[It seems that they panicked when they found signs of erosion.]
That’s why you need to practice it at least a few times.
It was the same when I worked at my old company. Even among the new employees who were supposed to be good at something, there was always at least one who couldn’t control his or her bowels.
[By the way, didn’t we decide not to issue nuclear grenades to new recruits?]
[I’m sorry. I thought it was the end. The shooter handed it over to me.]
[Tell that shooter to put his head in. And when this is sorted out, put your head in too.]
[···yes.]
Kim Yang’s eyes narrowed.
I could understand receiving a nuclear grenade.
At the end, I thought she really was going to die. But what I couldn’t forgive was her disobedience.
You should’ve thrown it when I told you to at the end. The fact that you didn’t throw it and hid it means that the kid knew that his exosuit was corroding.
[What a fucking Upham-like kid.]
[yes?]
Instead of answering, Ms. Kim quickly walked over to the door.
[I’m really going to blow it up! If you don’t open the door, I’m going to blow it up!!]
[Put the safety pin back in. Put it back in and let’s talk. Then we can open the door or not.]
The guards who were trying to get him to put it down and talk just tried desperately to coax and appease him so that he wouldn’t say that they should all die together.
And then, in between the two people’s tearful butt show, Ms. Kim barged in.
[Come out.]
[Yes? Captain?]
[Come out.]
[It’s dangerous. He’s a guy who was close to Mick.]
[Okay, then open the door and come out. As soon as I go in, close the door again.]
[Yes? Yep.]
As the thick door to the isolation room opened, the guy stepped toward the open door, his hand holding the nuclear grenade out like a hostage.
[Everyone, get out of the way of the door! I’m really going to explode!]
The guy waved his hand at Kim Yang, who had come rushing in.
[Get out of the way! If you don’t want to die!]
Kill? You? Me?
[Open the hatch!]
Wheein- Wheein- Wheein-
[The hatch opens. Please be aware of the pressure difference.]
The hatch of the Black Drake opened with a loud noise.
[Wh. What are you doing!]
The moment the bastard’s gaze returned to the slightly open hatch, Kim Yang’s coil gun fired.
Tuong!
puck!
The exosuit, with its head missing, stopped with a thud, and the nuclear grenade it was holding fell to the ground.
Teeing-
With a clip popping sound
Thud- Degururur-
[Ugh!]
[omg!]
[Eeeeeeeeeee!]
A nuclear grenade rolling on the floor.
[All that shit is bullshit.]
Miss Kim suddenly kicked it with her foot.
A nuclear grenade flies out the open hatch.
[Close the hatch.]
[Close the hatch.]
Kim Yang checked the exosuit with its head blown off from a distance. As expected, there were some parts that were corroded. The corrosion didn’t seem to be spreading, but you never know.
[Freeze this whole and store it separately.]
[We will store it as a Class 1 infectious risk material.]
She nodded and spoke to the guard outside the isolation door.
[All heads are banged together.]
I’ve been too lax lately.
huh.
Miss Kim was tired.
======
======
Diana’s voice rang out.
[Expedition. Left the contaminated area.]
There were three deaths in total. Ironically, all of them were killed by Ms. Kim.
“Are all three eroded?”
[The two men were eroded, but the later deaths were not only disobeying orders, but threatening with a nuclear grenade and attempting to hijack the Black Drake.]
“why?”
There’s no way he suddenly went crazy and did that.
[They say that traces of corrosion have been found.]
Corrosion and erosion.
Although no correlation has yet been found between the two, erosion is always accompanied by corrosion. So it’s not like Ms. Kim went overboard.
Maru nodded silently.
[They say they’re sending samples by high-speed airship.]
If it were Maru’s style, he would have just gotten rid of the samples and such, but that wasn’t the situation. They were just too different.
They were not things that could be dealt with with just predictions and hypotheses. It was discovered that the biological systems of monsters could be destroyed using nuclear explosions, but there was no guarantee that this would last forever.
Just as humans, who are vulnerable to psychic waves, have developed psychic wave blocking equipment, and just as the military, who suffered greatly from EMPs (electromagnetic pulses), developed EMP countermeasures, they might have found a way to undo or eliminate biological responses that have been messed up by nuclear explosions.
So, it was essential to analyze and study them. So Hee-yeon decided to study again how to control the U+ clones.
It was also a research topic to confirm whether there were individuals who believed themselves to be the reincarnation of Director Yoo, or whether cannibals or vampires were taking over lower-level individuals.
“The samples will be handed over to Na Ju-yeon and the research team right away. Research is only permitted in a completely isolated laboratory.”
It came with a warning that if there was a leak or a spill, the entire lab would be destroyed without any questions asked.
It was incredible to hear that despite the dire warnings, there were so many researchers applying to join the research, saying they wanted to participate.
[A communication request has been received from the expedition commander.]
Ms. Kim requested to speak to him directly.
“Connect.”
[Connecting a video call.]
Kim Yang’s image appeared on the screen.
[Did you get the sample?]
“Not yet. You’ve worked hard.”
At the words, “You had a hard time,” Ms. Kim glared. Her eyes looked like they were saying, “Right. I admit it. You had a hard time.”
[We also sent plenty of samples.]
[Did you see the video? The combat footage was really well done.]
[Yeah. This time it was really dangerous. I thought I was going to die.]
[There were also guys like Upham.]
So, it must have been a great achievement. It was Kim Yang who explained with an intense look in her eyes that she wanted to go back now that she had been in a life-threatening situation.
“Oh. Good job.”
“The image was well chosen. The vision was blurry, though.”
“···Yeah. That was a relief.”
“Upham?”
Maru, who had been playing the janggu, added a sentence.
“But why did you go there?”
[?]
“I went there to recruit crows and magpies. The search was a bonus.”
[!]
Even if it was very difficult and challenging, shouldn’t we check Korea, China, and Russia? That was the look in Maru’s eyes.
In response to Maru’s words that he should come back whenever he wanted to be on standby 24 hours a day instead of the few crows, Yang Kim simply led the expedition team to Korea.
