RUST -756
As expectations for the dinner were high, Ms. Kim’s anger was also great.
Aren’t these black pork and Korean beef that I haven’t eaten in over two years?
I thought I would never be able to eat it again, but then I started eating it again.
We’ve prepared everything, including the charcoal, so now all we have to do is enjoy the food, and you’re going to light a fire on top of that?
‘What are those guys doing, coming down in such a hurry?’
To die.
huh.
They were just trying to get away with it. I couldn’t forgive them.
Kim Yang was equipped with a special core armor and even a jetpack.
[Where are you going?]
[Didn’t you say we were having a meat dinner today?]
[I’ll finish the work right away.]
When she came out fully armed, the bodyguards who were protecting her and the guy acting as the chief all became nervous.
It’s not just any other company dinner, it’s a meat company dinner, so how ominous is it to show up fully armed?
[Nothing to do. The company dinner will be held even if it’s a little late. Just know that.]
[Yes? Okay.]
[By the way, where are you going?]
It was Ms. Kim who explained that there was a high probability that a military vehicle that appeared to have departed from Seoul would approach this way, and that she was going to help the King sort things out.
[The King was ‘killed’ and everyone was about to die, but they knew what would happen if they took the kids away. They told the kids to just finish up what they were working on here.]
However, the two bodyguards who were in charge of Kim Yang’s close-range escort said they would follow her to the end. Kim Yang did not stop them either.
[Just in case the cannibals attack like guerrillas and run away. Have the crows scout carefully.]
The company dinner will be a little late, so wait.
Kim Yang, who had left command of the base to his adjutant, flew towards where the floor was.
‧
There was a long line of military vehicles racing along at a speed of perhaps 100 kilometers per hour.
“This isn’t good. This isn’t good. This doesn’t feel good.”
“Shut your mouth.”
Have you ever felt good? It’s not like you’ve ever been sick or had an Indian rain ritual.
“This time it’s real. It’s real. It’s never been this ominous.”
“There. Shut your mouth.”
When a particularly large and muscular man warned him in a cavernous low voice, the man who had been muttering ominous things shut his mouth as if nothing had happened.
“······.”
“······.”
A moment later, a hard voice came from the speaker.
[Conveying the current situation.]
A map appeared on the monitor installed on one side of the vehicle, and the area where the enemy was expected to be located began to be marked in red. Then, an arrow that had been stretching out appeared, suddenly breaking in the middle.
[Contact with the superhuman unit in charge of the Dongtan area has been lost.]
A special task force unit that went down to provide support also went missing, and information was released that the flock of pigeons that had taken over the northwestern part of Gyeonggi Province also lost their leader and scattered.
The soldiers were indifferent despite the serious content. Only one person whined like a puppy that needed to poop. Regardless, the briefing continued.
[···Let’s actively utilize capable people···.]
Those with the ability who were evaluated as having anti-government tendencies were being treated like a punishment unit with their necks tied, so the talk naturally turned to getting rid of them first.
[···If the enemy’s size and power are strong, sign an armistice with the enemy.]
Pot-
As the monitors turned off, small curses erupted here and there. It seemed like there was something going on, but the briefing was empty.
Push in the ones with the leashes first and see how they do. If you think it’s possible, rush in and wipe them all out. If you think they’re too strong, call off the war and come back.
What kind of nonsense is this?
If the enemies were weak, would the ones managing the area and those who went down as support units have all evaporated as a set?
Likewise, how could over 150,000 pigeons have collapsed when the enemies were weak?
They were using the crisis and emergency situation as an opportunity to dispose of anti-government figures. What’s worse, they were busy keeping factions in check and fighting over who would take credit.
If this isn’t unsettling, then what is?
To be honest, I was anxious from the beginning.
So, even though he tried to get out no matter what, the man who was forcibly drafted clenched his teeth because he was caught saying that he had a bad feeling every time.
“You all heard? The strongest one gets the command. No complaints, right?”
“Anyone who has a complaint, speak up now.”
“The strongest one has the power, so what could be the complaint?”
“But how do you know who is strong?”
“Are you suggesting we have a tournament?”
“Let’s not talk nonsense. You want to have a tournament on the way down?”
“Then what do you want to do?”
“Wouldn’t it be okay to judge by performance?”
“Accomplishments? You’re talking nonsense. You say you’ve caught a hundred rats, but you’ve caught a hundred mutant monsters?”
“It’s a monster, if you want to call it a mutant monster, it’s a rat that has grown into a giant arm. But it’s big-”
“The only achievement is catching rats···.”
“Why is everyone like that? Performance is performance. Hehe-”
“If you think about it, that is also an achievement and a performance.”
Even in the midst of the joking atmosphere, there was no sign of shame or embarrassment on the face of the man who insisted that command authority should be determined based on performance.
“Do you think you can still laugh like that even if rats breed in Yeouido and Hangang Park?”
The places where anti-government figures were taken to and killed were not the Gangwon-do monster front or the suppression of the Chinese refugee riots in the west.
In the basements of abandoned buildings, in large sewers, and in flood drainage facilities, bloody battles were taking place every day. It was just that the fact was unknown.
“Ah- let’s just have a cool game.”
“Everyone thinks I’m stronger than that kid. Don’t you think so?”
“I agree, even though it was already fucking annoying for a muscle pig to lower his voice.”
“While we’re on the subject today, let’s take a look at that rat-catching bastard’s performance.”
“Let’s not do this. We’re not all teenagers. We’ve all been in society and are old enough to be doing this.”
“So you’re suggesting we have a go at it? If something happens, you’ll take responsibility?”
“If we want to clearly define responsibility, we need to establish a proper hierarchy.”
“In this situation, if I hand you your rank and tell you to charge, will you shoulder your gun and run?”
“Who would do something if some incompetent little shit told them to do this or that?”
“Hey, shit. Let’s do that. Let’s do it. Everyone’s a little sore.”
If it had been a single force, vertical control using dominance would have been possible, but those gathered here were drawn from each faction.
Even in the military, if you go to the next unit, they are all middle-aged or higher level cannibals. It wasn’t easy for the higher-ups of other factions to enforce their dominance.
Likewise, there were no people who would watch a brat with no ability take command despite being superior. It wasn’t that kind of time.
There have been no real fights since the regime took over. It was only in the early days of martial law that the awakened people resisted, claiming that it was a one-sided dictatorship and tyranny, but it has already been two or three years since they were all defeated.
I didn’t know when I’d get another job as tempting as this one. I thought of it as a way to warm up before I really got going.
“There are facilities nearby, so since we’re talking about it, let’s have a go at it.”
“Isn’t it okay as long as you don’t kill yourself?”
As they passed Bundang, the general opinion was that they should start by organizing the order. The military vehicles that were running in a single line turned around and headed towards a golf club between Bundang and Dongtan.
Gugugugu country!!
puck!
A pigeon suddenly landed on a telephone pole and the sight flashed by.
“Did he drink alcohol?”
“Is this a drunk flight?”
“Fuck, those pigeon chicks are so damn good.”
“They said he ran away with his tail between his legs, but he ended up drinking and making a fuss.”
There were dead pigeons with their heads broken off here and there on the road, cracked telephone poles, and broken streetlights.
“Hey. Hey. This is really dangerous. This time, it’s real. Look at that dead pigeon over there.”
“Ah. F*ck.”
“You just lose without fighting.
“Is it dangerous that pigeons died with their heads on them? Wasn’t the mass death of fish in Cheonggyecheon ominous?”
As the water temperature rose due to the heat wave, the fish living in Cheonggyecheon died in large numbers. At that time, I kept my mouth shut, but now I’m saying it’s ominous? The man who said he was anxious had no choice but to keep his mouth shut again.
From the outside it looked like a typical clubhouse, but inside it was full of special facilities and equipment, and the cannibals entered and started drawing lots.
“Isn’t this going to take too long?”
“The real ones decided to go straight to the scene.”
The argument is that those who lost in the first round should lead the leashed capable players and go first without waiting for the tournament results.
“Should I send the unlucky kid away first?”
“That would be good.”
“Okay. Hey. Do you want to draw lots or just go?”
“······.”
When the man who warned that it was dangerous got into the car without saying a word, everyone laughed.
“That kid was going to turn his back on me once. He avoided it like this.”
“What a funny kid. You said you were really anxious, but I guess you were less anxious about going than fighting here?”
Hehe. Those who were laughing dispersed in pairs according to the lottery drawing. After a while, a crashing and breaking sound was heard.
It was all settled in less than five minutes. People with twisted arms, people with a blown-out skull, and people with sunken faces entered the clubhouse. If they weren’t cannibals, they all had injuries that would have been serious.
Gyaaaah!
Oh no, please save me!!
Aaaah!!
Every time the door opened and players came in and out, the screams of birds told us what was happening inside the clubhouse. And then, a little while later, the losing team, their wounds healed, got into their car.
“Do you like watching it from a cool car with the air conditioning on?”
“······.”
“Why are you blabbering about being anxious?”
“Let’s go.”
“You idiot. You said you were anxious, but now you’re saying let’s go again.”
“If you lose, don’t yell at the strict person and just go.”
“What the heck, kid?”
“If you lose to me, will you be so embarrassed that you kill yourself?”
Only then did the man look around and grit his teeth and turn his head. It was because he realized that there was a reason why the kid who had been avoiding eye contact because he was anxious was acting that way.
The victorious cannibals looked at each other and laughed as they watched the military vehicles carrying the losing team leave.
“We started it, so we have to see it through to the end.”
“That’s a given.”
Who is the strongest?
“I think it would be better to use the space more widely.”
“Since it’s a golf course, wouldn’t it be okay to just pick one course each?”
A large, muscular man was the first to step forward and speak.
“What do you think of the muscle pig voice? Come fight with me without any hesitation, even if you have to pull out.”
“Oh. Are you sure? Good.”
The one who had been saying that it was like lowering the voice of a muscular pig followed the big man while swaying. Without drawing lots, the twos scattered around the field.
‧
Phew-
A crimson blade protruded from between the thick muscles.
A blade that splits the spine and pierces the thick muscle tissue like armor in one blow.
Kkwah!
The muscular man tried to swing his arms, but the blade bent 90 degrees before he could. The man screamed in excruciating pain and tried to run away, but his legs, already denervated, would not move.
“You. You. Who···?”
Seoksuk-
Before the big man could finish his question, a head floated up. Before it could hit the ground, the opponent opposite the decapitated muscle man bit off a handful of his own arm and spit it out into the empty space.
Phew!
Pieces of torn flesh and drops of blood splattered into the air, and a blurry afterimage began to appear red.
“Fuck! It’s the enemy!”
A man with his knife drawn from his waist lowered his body and rushed towards the red afterimage, shouting.
Not big-
The knife was cut in half by the red blade swung by the enemy. Seeing that the knife made of special material could not withstand it, the man quickly pulled out his gun with his other hand and aimed the gun at the red afterimage.
Ting-
The blade that cut through the knife cut the pistol into pieces and then turned around.
The trigger was pulled, the pistol fell to pieces, and the arm was severed at the same time.
pop-
The man, who saw his body being torn apart diagonally as the blade that cut off his arm flew sideways like a swallow, held his severed arm out in front of him and let out his last breath.
“you···.”
Who are you?
