RUST [RUST]-771

A creepy feeling ran through Maru’s entire body.

‘It maintained its penetration power even after breaking through the shield?’

It was clear that the bullet that Ki-soon had warned about was a bullet.

“Confirm the sniper position with a drone.”

[Unable to control drone due to biological EMP.]

If you create a space where drones can’t be used, it’s a trap.

‘Did you lure them by laying down a corpse?’

If it weren’t for Maru himself, Detective Han or whoever, he would have been killed here. He would have died approaching the body, and he wouldn’t have been able to avoid the bullets flying through the hatch.

Maru, who had been swearing quietly, looked at the hatch that was now wide open.

The long stretch of highway was flanked by steep cliffs on both sides. So, since it was a bridge spanning a ravine between tunnels, there was no way to avoid it by going to the side.

[Left engine number 2 hit.]

[Engine #2 on the left is hit. The enemy is focusing its attacks on the exposed engine.]

[Left engine number 3 hit. Left engine number 2 hit. Engine number 2 out of operation.]

“Raise the altitude.”

[Close the hatch. Raise altitude.]

[Left engine number 3 hit. Left engine number 3 hit.]

If it had been an airplane, it would not have been able to take off, but since it was an airship, it had no problem taking off. The enemies persistently attacked the engines exposed to the outside, but even if all the external engines were destroyed, there was no problem operating because there was an internal emergency engine.

[Enemy attacks have stopped.]

Their attacks stopped only after we gained an altitude of over 3km.

“What is the current situation?”

[Damage Report]

[Left engines 2 and 3 completely destroyed. Left engine 1 partially destroyed, under emergency repair.]

[High-speed maneuvering disabled.]

[Stealth module unavailable.]

“How many enemies?”

[Unable to confirm with sensor.]

The fact that it wasn’t detected by either optical or infrared sensors meant that the stealth robe or suit had stealth equipment.

Maru thought of the members of the Gwanaksan bunker: professors, journalists, medical experts, and

‘You said there were SWAT teams and airborne troops.’

The Namsan bunker and the Bukhansan bunker collapsed without being able to put up a proper resistance due to internal strife and bunker buster air raids. So, I saw Gwanaksan easily, but it became a difficult situation.

Drone reconnaissance is impossible. There are high-level cannibals, and even those who are not high-level cannibals can handle EMP (electromagnetic pulse).

‘Not even a crow.’

If there are snipers using special bullets waiting, whether it be special forces or airborne troops, crows will just become targets.

‘You have to go down there and look for it with your own eyes.’

The EMP response capabilities of exosuits and core armor could withstand it to some extent, but even that had its limits.

‘There’s no point in calling an expedition.’

Maru looked out the window, wearing his ripper suit and gear.

The sky is slowly sunsetting.

The dark shadows of the mountain stretched out long.

Fortunately, the sky was overcast during the crescent moon. Without clouds, even a night descent could have been dangerous.

Maru, who fell vertically from 3km above the ground, opened his parachute at an altitude of 250m to reduce the impact. The fact that they are lying in ambush with traps means that they are aware of being pursued.

They say there’s a trap set on the bridge across the canyon. There’s a sniper hiding on the ridge that gives a clear view of the bridge.

‘This is the area where the drone became incapacitated.’

The area and scope of the search had been decided. Maru, who had ample field experience, did not stop there and went in once more.

‘They probably thought the same thing.’

Assuming that the general location has been discovered, they will try to catch the pursuer coming in that direction. In that case, there is a possibility that they have hidden another sniper to protect the sniper.

There were at least five good positions to attack the enemy while protecting friendly snipers. Maru decided to start from there.

[From the closest one.]

[The guidance begins.]

A map and arrows appeared on the HUD.

The first place I arrived at was a waste. The second and third places were the same. Was I being too sensitive? I thought, but there was a sniper at the fourth place.

There were two sniper teams behind the snipers. Two teams consisting of observers and snipers. In addition, a squad of eight people stood guard as if to escort them.

Maru’s forehead furrowed slightly. There were more of them than expected, and he was observing the four pillars of destiny properly without any blind spots.

‘That’s tricky.’

To catch them silently, you had to use your life skills, and to do that, you had to get closer. Maru, who closes the distance with the enemies while maintaining covert activities.

Heart pounding

The small warning heart was telling me that the enemy’s fighting power was dangerous. When I approached within 30m, the regular, rapid heartbeat changed strangely.

The heartbeat was irregular and shaky. Maru carefully retrieved the foot he had stepped on. Then, the heartbeat that had been swaying like waves began to beat gently again.

‘What is this?’

This was the first time something like this had happened. It wasn’t the murderous intent that a living thing secretly gave off, nor was it the sense of crisis that suddenly appeared when life was at stake. It wasn’t the tension that warned of a danger zone.

Maru calmly looked ahead. He didn’t know what it meant, but there had to be a reason for the feeling that was different from before. Maru wasn’t one to just ignore that feeling.

‘I don’t know what it means, but it can’t go on like this.’

Well then, we need to change direction.

widely-

Maru, who jumped while making a sound, landed on a pine branch that was tangled. Hearing that small sound, a soldier wearing night vision goggles was caught on the HUD checking this side.

Maru threw a stone a little way. The stones he threw in succession made a sound as if something was moving.

Thud- thud-

The soldier wearing night vision goggles instinctively turned his head in the direction of the sound. Maru waited for the moment when his head turned and threw a stone again, hitting the tree branch.

widely-

Dadadak-

“I think there’s something there?”

“Police officer. We’re watching this side, so let’s keep an eye on our respective positions.”

The floating Maru threw the stilettos he had on his waist. One of them hit the back of the head of the one wearing the night vision goggles, and the other hit the forehead of the one talking to the night vision goggles.

Doo doo doo doo doo doo-

Dadadadak-

As if to prove that they were high-ranking cannibals, the two men pulled the trigger even as they fell.

“3 o’clock!”

“3 o’clock!”

Phew!

Flares exploded one after another, illuminating the surrounding area.

Tudadadak-

Doo doo doo doo doo doo-

Suppressive fire began at the same time. Suppressive fire was fired at regular intervals.

“Motion sensor!”

“Sensor check! It’s a stealth suit!”

I couldn’t see anything, but the sensors were picking up movement.

“Hide!”

“Hide!”

The response was swift. They all covered their entire bodies with concealment robes. However, Maru, who had dug into their formation in just two steps, was one beat faster.

‘asleep!’

A powerful killing intent rose up, devouring life.

A soldier frozen in place as he tried to turn over his coverall. A sniper changing the direction of his gun. Even an observer holding a rifle and about to load it froze as if he had pressed the pause button.

A space where everything seemed to have stopped. The light from the slowly falling flares indicated the passage of time.

“······.”

“······.”

Those who were hit up close died instantly, but those who were a little further away held out better than expected. It was true that they were police special forces and airborne troops, so their reactions were fast and their response was good, but that was all.

Crunch- thud-

West pole- thud- degururur-

Maru began to cut the lifelines of the cannibals, who had become stiff from the shock of the living.

“Keuuuuuuuuuuu- Oh my···.”

The man, who seemed to be crying or laughing, was terrified and was groaning, “Monster!” His strange face had an expression that said, “You’re dead too.”

[What kind of monster is this? You guys are the monsters.]

“Keuhehehehehe-”

A sudden sense of warning as Eclipse cuts off the guy’s neck.

Maru’s heartbeat was pounding like waves, and he found himself flying backwards without realizing it.

‘It’s late.’

The word that the severed head was throbbing meant that it was too late. As soon as he reflexively laid Eclipse aside to make a shield, a strong light burst out.

□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□—–

A white light fills the sight, and crimson flames shoot up in all directions with a loud noise.

■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■

The condensed explosion hit Eclipse. The centerline and vital points of the body, such as the head and heart, were blocked by Eclipse, but the parts that were not covered, such as the arms and thighs, could not withstand the impact.

Wooooow—-

The surface area of ​​the Eclipse’s vibrating blade, which converted the shock of the explosion into vibration, increased, preventing most of the chain explosions.

However, the shock wave itself from the explosion could not be eliminated. The floor bounced like a ping-pong ball, broke several trees, and then slammed into a corner.

Ugh-

Chik- Maru immediately used the rapid healing agent. The internal injuries, broken and cracked bones, and bruises caused by the shock wave healed in an instant.

‘Suicide?’

Who would have thought that he would use that much power for self-destruction?

‘Is he targeting me?’

Did they read the pattern of behavior? I didn’t do much since I came to Korea. No matter what I did, I didn’t leave any witnesses. Of course, they read the pattern of behavior and there was nothing they could do.

If so, would Virginia or other Confederates have provided information? The response to ‘Salgi’ was too clumsy to suggest so.

Tsk-

Maru, who had been lost in thought for a moment, sat up. The murderous intent stabbing his entire body was surrounding him on all sides.

A blatant and strong appetite.

True to that instinct, a murderous intent was targeting Maru.

As I aimed Eclipse into the darkness, the red glowing eyes began to grow one by one.

Krrrrrr-

Kkeueeeeek- Kkeueeeeek-

“Ha- These-”

A thick murderous aura began to consume the murderous intent that surrounded all sides.

‧

The gunshots, flares, and powerful explosions were enough to stimulate the mutant monsters in Gangwon Province.

Krrrrrr-

Kkeueeeeek- Kkeueeeeek-

Starting with the mutated wild boar and deer, various animals rushed toward the floor like moths to a flame.

The large monsters did not die, only briefly frozen in Maru’s grip, despite having eaten so many people. However, the smaller animals either died or went mad.

The maddened monsters either committed suicide or attacked and bit the large monsters next to them. The large monsters were initially confused by the betrayal(?) of the small animals, but soon took care of the small ones that attacked them.

Death, life, and murderous intent began to intertwine and produce corpses. Maru took advantage of the chaotic chaos and headed towards the center where the monsters were gathered.

The determination to kill all of these damned monsters transformed into a vicious murderous intent. Eclipse, swinging like that, drew a red full moon on the dark canvas.

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬—–

As the sword and the energy of death combined, all beings within a 10m radius found peace and rest.

Red flames rising from afar brightly lit up the dark mountains.

The sight of the small thing that Kim Yang likes, similar to the fireworks that appear when it explodes. The trees around where the explosion occurred were burning brightly, and you could see the smoke rising.

It’s not a pine mushroom, but it’s more like a oyster mushroom.

The corners of the mouths of the Gwanaksan cannibals loosened.

“I got caught.”

“I got caught.”

“Even if you avoid a direct hit from an explosion of that magnitude, you won’t survive.”

“Even if we survive, the mutant monsters will swarm us. We won’t be able to survive.”

The eyes of the cannibals who appeared to be professors and researchers were filled with pity.

“It would be a good card if I could even get a sample.”

“What can I do, even if it’s a shame? The mutant monsters keep coming from that direction.”

“Shall we leave right now?”

“Let’s take a short break and then go. Let’s bring back the troops waiting on the other side.”

With everyone relaxed, a break was given. The mutant monsters would be driven towards that side, so the road to Yangyang would become easier.

“Hmm- It’s strange.”

“What are you talking about?”

“That sound over there. Doesn’t it seem like it’s suddenly getting smaller?”

“······.”

The sounds made by the mutant monsters were getting quieter and quieter.

[Evacuation – groan]

[Hehehehehehe]

The sounds made by the border guards suddenly ceased.
