RUST -738

The hatch that opened in an instant was somehow tasteless.

There should be a sense of anticipation(?) and tension(?) that makes you imagine the scenery outside as it slowly opens, but what’s with opening it all at once?

Kim Yang went out, leading the way with his shield-bearing Noh-Chim-Gi-Ja. The guards naturally formed into a fan shape, then expanded into a semicircle, and then into a circle.

[12 o’clock clear.]

[No response at 6 o’clock.]

Although they were small nukes, they were still nukes. The Taiwan Occupation Forces Command, which had been hit by three or four nukes within a range of 300 to 400 meters, was completely reduced to ruins.

The sight of various armored vehicles, including mobile missile launchers, overturned, melted and burning was like hell.

[There is more heat left than I thought.]

It was summer, and the fires following the nuclear explosions made the place extremely hot.

[There should be a passage leading underground. Find it first.]

She ordered the Black Drake to take off again and use the drone to thoroughly search the area within a 5-6 km radius.

[Search a radius of 5-6km first, then gradually increase the range. Search all nearby cities and towns.]

The whack-a-mole game began as drones scattered in groups of thousands.

[Find the oyster first.]

Several heavy equipment devices, including excavators, were mobilized to clear the debris.

[blasting!]

[3. 2. 1. Blast!]

The tattered frame of the building was blown away with a loud crash.

[There is a lot of building debris.]

[If we continue at the current rate, it will likely take more than a week to get down to the underground structure.]

The power of this small nuke was so good.

No, should I say it’s good?

If it had been a proper tactical nuke, it would have completely blown up the building. But since it was a small nuke, many of the buildings were not completely blown up, but rather partially destroyed.

This was especially true for the Taiwan Occupation Forces Command Building. It was destroyed halfway through because it was a sturdy building that had been designated as a temporary headquarters.

Even though they were dismantling it with blasting bombs, it took ages just to clean up the construction waste that kept coming out. It wasn’t a good situation for Ms. Kim, who had to check the basement right away.

‘If I waste time here, I’ll get yelled at again.’

I didn’t like that.

[What if we used small nukes instead of blasting charges?]

[yes?]

[yes?]

[You’re saying we have to blow it up anyway? So you’re saying we should just blow it up, even if it collapsed due to a small nuke.]

[······.]

[Isn’t it impossible?]

[No, it is possible.]

[We’re not going to live here anyway, and we’re not going to occupy this place, so what’s the problem? It’s better to clean it up quickly and organize it, so do it.]

[four···.]

Kim Yang’s lightning nuclear demolition has begun.

The debris on top of the properly buried nuclear grenade exploded, flipping it over. The debris scattered in all directions, a mass that would have taken dozens of heavy equipment pieces a whole day to clear.

[Put it in the collapsed space next to it and detonate it immediately.]

[Wake up, everyone. It looks like there’s a tunnel inside the ground.]

The guards were surprised. There really was evidence of a tunnel between the rocks.

[Private, is it okay to write it like this?]

Even though it was a small nuke with almost no residual radioactivity, the rookie asked if it was okay to use it for blasting.

[You’re protected from radiation to some extent, so don’t worry about anything else and just stay focused.]

[Yes? Old.]

A corporal with extensive experience fighting cannibals in Texas spoke up. The presence of tunnels underground meant that there were indeed survivors.

The Texas cleanup was a battle that was summarized in a few lines in the report, but in reality, it was a fierce and catastrophic battle. Even with the preemptive strike using strategic nuclear weapons and the destruction of key forces and command centers, the enemy was not easy.

With their bare bodies, they were able to exert power almost as strong as the exosuits of the time, and their agility was even better. If the weapons they had were more powerful, the casualties on our side would have increased exponentially.

After a few more dull shocks, the space that had been vaguely revealed was blown open. The bunker that the Taiwanese occupation forces had remodeled into the underground and the passageway dug through the cracks in the ground were all revealed.

[there is.]

[Is it really true?]

[Commander, this is the bunker!]

[An underground passage was also revealed.]

Ms. Kim spoke in a solemn voice.

[Open the bunker lid. Send the robot into the underground passage.]

It was Kim Yang who pushed the war machine that had been attacking the basement of Virginia headquarters into the dark passage.

‧

Plasma cutters and welders quickly tore off the bunker’s thick door.

There was a way to blow it up by drilling a hole in the outer wall of the bunker and inserting a nuclear grenade, but who would do such a heinous thing knowing what was inside?

As expected. Carefully, carefully.

Kim Yang entered the bunker, leading the way with a shield-armed reactor core.

bang!

As soon as the shield soldier took a few steps inside, a small anti-tank missile struck the shield. HJ-12 anti-tank missile.

An anti-tank missile with a penetration power of 1,100 mm penetrated the shield and poured the remaining impact into the new core body.

Wooooow-

The powerful impact failed to penetrate the resonance shield (?) that spread from the center of the armor and instead dissipated into a circle. The resonance shield created by the massive energy produced by the core was unfurled.

“Chaonima (肏你妈, Nimiral)”

“Hey. What is that?”

“Shoot. Shoot them all!”

Starting with the 12.7mm Chinese special bullets, dozens of guns fired simultaneously. Taking advantage of the gap, the reloaded HJ-12 anti-tank missiles flew in.

A deafening explosion followed, followed by a distinctive low-frequency ringing sound.

Wooooow-

A flame that scatters without being able to penetrate the space where the air seems to resonate.

The enemy’s body, covered in shiny latex tights, looked like a pervert that couldn’t even be hit by bullets.

The strangeness of the bulging, steel-like muscles of a bodybuilder being further emphasized by the tightness of the latex tights.

Even though I knew in my head that it was an exosuit, it was hard to accept visually. Armor-piercing bullets using the monster’s byproducts were ineffective against it, and anti-tank missiles were also ineffective.

The horror of black steel muscles gleaming in oil, approaching with strides.

“Are you guys little bastards?”

“If long-distance doesn’t work, is it over?”

“Pull out your sword and pick up your shovel!”

Warlord officers, pulling out ultra-sharp knives and field shovels, rushed toward the black latex suit.

As expected, practice is the best.

It wasn’t a bad simulation that reproduced even the senses, but the simulation had limitations because it was based on existing information.

The more diverse and accurate the information, the closer it is to reality, which has the advantage of being true to form, but on the other hand, it is not helpful when fighting a weapon that is being encountered for the first time, as it is now.

‘Huh- the default uses 12.7mm bullets.’

Before the coilgun, the Holy Kingdom was no different. The 7.62mm bullets were not enough to deal with the mutant monsters.

The fact that the southern warlords’ main caliber is 12.7mm means that this is a similar situation.

In addition, the bullets were early special bullets that used the byproducts of monsters. Although they were basic, this meant that they had also started using the byproducts of monsters.

‘It’s not dangerous yet.’

Certainly, as technologies that have reached a singularity are increasingly applied to reality, an insurmountable gap begins to appear.

If we only consider the armor thickness of the Holy Kingdom’s core machine and the new exosuit, it is at most 5 to 10 mm thick, but it was not able to penetrate it.

Above all, the local resonance shield with only the core gas seemed to bring science fiction into reality. It was a technology that created a circular shield with a diameter of 1m 40cm centered on the armor’s center. The resonance shield, which was flat like a convex lens, showed truly tremendous defensive power.

It was a close-range attack that cleanly blocked the penetrating power and explosive power of anti-tank missiles that could blow up even main battle tanks.

‘Even if the distance isn’t long enough for acceleration to take hold.’

huh.

Even small nuclear reactors can stop anti-tank missiles today, but what if cities were defended using energy from fusion power plants?

It was said that even if the enemies made a railgun and fired at them, they would be blocked. There was no need to worry about ballistic missiles, since they were cut off by airships placed in the stratosphere.

Boom-boom- boom-

They approached us in close combat, setting off smoke bombs. Not just any smoke bombs, but smoke bombs made from the byproducts of the monsters. The infrared sensors and motion detectors were not able to properly detect their movements.

It was a charge that showed that there had been a lot of development in China in just 2-3 years, but it was not enough to compete with the new equipment of the Holy Kingdom.

[I’m a cannibal.]

[Groups of 3. Shields in front. Plasma cutter on the left, coil gun on the right.]

The battle began with Kim Yang’s command.

Kwajik-

Although he appears to be just an ordinary human on the outside, his strength is on par with that of a nuclear-powered exosuit.

[Captain. These guys are strong. They are strong.]

The high-pitched sound of a super-sharp knife slicing through a shield echoed throughout the bunker.

Weeeeeeeing- gagagagagak-

When the shields didn’t cut through even with the super-vibration knife, their movements changed. They slowly extended their arms, pulled down the shields, and began to aim for the exosuit’s joints through the gap that was created.

[Ten nights apart.]

The plasma cutter stabbed into the cannibal who was holding down his shield. The coil gun fired at him as he was forced to let go of his shield and retreat into the smoke.

The continuous bursts of gunfire. The gunshots themselves were small, but the sound that pierced the air was unavoidable.

□□□□▯▯▯▯

The air resistance from the high speed turned the bullet red hot, and the bullet marks that continued like laser beams pierced through the cannibal’s body.

A hole was being dug through. It was a completely different pain than when I was hit by a special bullet, and I thought I would lose my mind. The cannibals, gritting their teeth and holding on, desperately ran into the smoke.

Kim Yang did not chase after the men who rushed in and then ran away.

[Hold position. Clear smoke.]

A large pipe sucked up the smoke like a vacuum cleaner. On the ground where the smoke cleared, several southern warlord cannibals lay lying.

Although he did not die due to the cannibal’s unique vitality, he was still writhing with holes in his chest and side.

[Take these and extract the information right away.]

[ancient.]

Ms. Kim advanced leisurely.

‘If there’s a hole for the rats to escape to, they’ll flock there.’

Even if that weren’t the case, all we had to do was blow the brains out of the guys we just captured.

[Set up a barricade at the entrance and defend it. The rest advance.]

The guards, with their shields at the forefront, slowly began to sweep through the basement that had been converted into a bunker.

Huh- Huh- Huh-

Heavy breathing filled the underpass. There were two or three shadows visible in front of the passing lights. When I turned my head, there weren’t many people following me.

‘What is that?’

You called it the Holy Kingdom? Are they the ones who turned Area 51 into a whole? The material is impervious to even the most extreme monster hide-splitting ultra-vibration knives.

I thought that anti-tank missiles could penetrate and be effective, but it was impossible. First, I had to hide in the city and find a way to contact the mainland.

He was just a retard commander. I knew it when he occupied Taiwan, conscripted people, and raised his forces, and then launched a preemptive strike under the pretext of food.

The lieutenant stroked his rank insignia, which was different from before. After the lieutenant, there was the captain, and then the junior lieutenant. It was said that it was difficult to rise above the junior lieutenant without a spoon, but this was not the case now.

When the Southern Army became independent, there was a way to move up if you had the ability and performance. You might have to use some bribery, but there was still a way to move up compared to before.

Maybe that’s why the commander got greedy. But even so, he decided to shoot missiles and capture it unconditionally. The result was the destruction of the command.

‘You crazy bastard.’

After passing through the long emergency exit, we came to a small space near the entrance.

“Your Majesty.”

When he looked back, he saw that there was no one of a higher rank than him. Most of the people who had taken refuge in the bunker were administrative and management soldiers.

The upper brow furrowed slightly. Most of the regular soldiers were not new humans. In order to fight the enemies, you had to match the minimum level, but the regular soldiers were administrative soldiers and management soldiers.

Besides, weren’t these guys the ones who ran away without even seeing the results of the engagement? It was strange that they were gathered here, even though they should have just opened the hatch and run away.

“Is there something out there?”

“It looks like the drone is patrolling.”

That damn drone seems to be out there? It’s not like it’s there, but it’s there. The superior waited. The stragglers who had been following behind gathered in twos and threes.

“Damn, my wounds won’t heal.”

The cannibal’s characteristic resilience was not being demonstrated.

“Where are you looking?”

When examining the wound, there was a burn mark on the wound, as if it had been hit by a laser. The bullet was made of some kind of material, and the wound was covered in a black, fine powder like chalk dust.

“Should I cut around the wound?”

“shit.”

When you cut a wound, you need fresh energy.

“Are all the officers who came after this injured like this?”

“Yeah. They all have at least one hole in them.”

The officer, who swallowed without realizing it, met the gaze of his superior as he answered.

Swish- The two men turned their heads towards the soldiers huddled together in front of the hatch.

Kkaaaak!

Aaaahhhhhhhh!

“Please save me.”

“Reconnaissance. Don’t you need reconnaissance?”

“You guys are too slow.”

The desperate screams slowly subsided into the darkness.
