RUST-83

A sharp life.

It was small in size, but should I say that it was thick? A rough, thorn-like aura pricked me under my fingernails. When I turned my head in the direction of the prick, the young doctor who had put the counter in my forehead was glaring at me.

Was his name Gurida? Was it Gu-ra-da? That guy’s name is just like that. Did I kill him? He killed him. I don’t know why he’s acting like this, Maru nodded.

A look full of venom. Someone with such a look was really uncomfortable. Director Choi said so. What did he do well that he was glaring at me like that?

I don’t think that’ll cause an accident if you keep doing that. It must be hard to send your lover away by your own hands. Wouldn’t it be a good idea to hold a reunion for separated lovers?

Chiik-

[I’m going up now.]

“OK, waiting.”

In front of the elevator on the second floor, a nurse with a serious injury went into operating room 1 first, and operating rooms 2 and 3 were waiting. As for the other doctors, they didn’t seem like the type that you could trust, but when I listened to them, they said that their surgical performance was better than that of a passionate middle-aged doctor.

That’s why it’s ironic. Character and skill are not always proportional. It would be great if a doctor who is good at surgery also had a good character, but in reality, it wasn’t that easy. In the current situation, skill was more important than character.

Ding-

[The door opens.]

The two elevators opened at the same time and Ms. Kim came out. Ki-soon also seemed to have come to her senses and was frowning slightly.

“What are you doing? If you came to the hospital, smile.”

“Painkiller. Are you still doing this even after taking painkillers?”

“Why? Are you sick?”

“I’m dying.”

“Where does it hurt?”

“Fuck- my stomach, back, and arms all hurt.”

“Then why are you acting so cocky and acting like that?”

“I don’t know. Fuck···.”

I was a little worried because I saw that your complexion wasn’t good. But it was fortunate that you came to the hospital.

“I’ll take an X-ray and then a CT scan right away.”

The doctor, the nurse, and Ki-soon were taken away. The bodyguard who was over there also moved with them. The three seriously injured people were said to be the next ones to go in, since there was still some room.

Kim Yang looked at Gi Sun’s poor condition and stood there in a bashful manner. Well, it was okay to be a little bashful. Whatever the reason, didn’t you hit Gi Sun with a headshot? It would have been better if it was a .22 caliber bullet with a bulletproof helmet, but if it had been a 9mm armor-piercing bullet that Kim Yang usually liked to use, well.

“······.”

“······.”

“···I.”

“you···.”

“first···.”

“What is it···”

Ah- why is the timing like this?

“You should treat your arm too. It makes me feel uneasy just looking at it.”

“Ah. Yes.”

“Then what do you have to say?”

“That guy, Mr. Ki-sun.”

“Why Kisun?”

“It’s not like I’m necessarily interested in that.”

Maru’s eyes narrowed. Kim Yang waved her cast-wrapped right hand and denied it.

“I mean, seriously. No, really.”

“Isn’t that what they call a strong denial an affirmation?”

“Really. Not really. I just did it because I was curious about what your tastes were, since you have a strong sense of taste. Really.”

“What’s Ki-soon’s taste? Women?”

Kim Yang nodded. Right. What good does a woman do knowing what men like about women? Huh? Since she’s a woman, should she know what men like about women? That seems plausible, Maru said. Well, men should know what women like about men… I see.

“Ask him yourself.”

“Ah- yes.”

Somewhere, Maru, who had taken a deep breath, looked outside. The sun had reached the middle of the sky.

======

======

While Ki-sun and Bodyguard 1 were checking, Maru, Ms. Kim, and the two drivers began to clean up the hospital. They secured areas such as the examination room, operating room, blood collection room, pharmacy, and clinical pathology room, and built barricades.

The infected did not rush towards the barricade unless there was a loud noise or some strong stimulus, and they simply ignored it and wandered around or stood still near where they were.

“That’s strange.”

“I know.”

It’s not like a zombie from a movie, and it’s more like they go crazy and run wild when provoked, so it may seem like they’re worse than zombies at first, but in some ways, it’s also much better.

Zombies were incapacitated by breaking pots, but infected people were incapacitated by excessive bleeding or other common attacks on vital points. They were also similar in that they seemed to be unable to feel pain.

“Aren’t you going to starve to death?”

Ms. Kim was also curious about that. Could she starve?

“That’s definitely weird.”

Maru agreed. He said that a normal human can survive for three minutes without air, three days without water, and three weeks without food. Since the outbreak of the infection, three days have passed, so the three-day rule without water has been broken. Are the infected no longer human?

“If you look at the mouth, you can tell that he has eaten something.”

The driver said. Looking at it that way, it seemed like he had eaten something, judging by the large mark on his mouth. Did he eat it secretly when I wasn’t looking? Anyway, as long as he didn’t give it too much stimulation, it was okay, so it was fortunate.

“That’s all for the sightseeing. Let’s clean up the MRI examination room on the third floor and the area around there.”

Maru led the people to the third floor.

======

======

Hmm.

Kim Yang shivered at the sight of Maru’s swordsmanship. It was just shivering. He walked over to the peacefully wandering infected and, with a thud, the infected lay down quietly. Not even much blood came out.

Can swordsmanship also be improved? If someone were to ask, I would tell them to look up and look at Baekjeong. No, can that even be called swordsmanship in the first place? That was also a question.

It seemed like the cervical vertebrae were being cut, but I saw that it was possible to cut only the nerves. It wasn’t even a double stab. The infected blinked their eyes a few times and then became quiet. They didn’t seem human even before. It was gradually becoming something, something… something… something… Anyway, that was it.

‘I told you to look at that.’

At first, he used animalistic reflexes and incredible strength to cut, but as he developed, he showed inhuman strength and athletic ability. He cut so foolishly that the blade broke, and he even ended up flying around.

It was so bad that Baekjeong himself said that his own body was collapsing. I understood it right away after hearing it. If he was still fine after that, then he was not a living being. Baekjeong showed me the swordsmanship of the other world, not the swordsmanship of this world.

But, look at that look now.

That was just. Something, something different. Should I say that the cutting increased?

What… He stabs him with a thud and gently takes a hit from behind. The infected person lies down quietly. He then stabs the person next to him with a thud and places him next to him. There was no life. There was no sound. There was no resistance.

It was like a farmer passing by a field and picking off a cherry tomato next to him.

Ahh – I got goosebumps again.

There were occasional preemptive-type infected people. However, the reason why there was no great danger was because there was a Baekjeong in front who was crazy good at handling a knife. If a preemptive-type infected person were to scream ‘Kuaaaa!’ and rush in, he would silence them with a ‘Pook-‘ before they could even say ‘Kua-‘.

Ah- our eyes met.

You shouldn’t play.

Thump thump

No, I just took a quick look. Really.

Thump thump

======

======

I cleared out the infected who were about to open their mouths to scream.

This was handled first by Kim Yang, who was backing up from behind. Did something go wrong? Let’s take a quick look around. Kim Yang was busy shooting here and there. The Walther P22 was diligently spitting out shells.

Is it because of my mood?

hmm.

First of all, we had to assume that the important facilities on the third floor had been secured. As the nurses said, there were many infected people in the examination rooms and the hallways where patients were waiting. This was a bit strange. Almost all the patients and their guardians were infected, but we had not yet seen any infected medical staff. Didn’t the infected medical staff come out of the examination rooms? Or were they killed during the initial outbreak?

Well, that wasn’t the important thing.

“Let’s block this hallway and end here.”

[Chijik- Yes. This side is almost finished too.]

There was an MRI room, analysis room, dialysis room, and artificial heart-lung surgery room on the third floor. Now that we have secured this much, there shouldn’t be a big problem even if the surgery becomes larger.

The people who had blocked the other hallway came to this hallway, which was just finishing cleaning up. After cleaning up the infected, people pushed the bodies into the hallway and built a barricade. That was the end.

“Okay, let’s eat.”

They said we could eat a lot because there was a lot of food left, and they certainly did.

Hmm.

Kim Yang couldn’t help but let out another strange exclamation. Baek Jeong was eating not only at a fast pace, but also in enormous quantities. Oh, is it possible to eat like that?

When I made eye contact with Baekjeong, I nodded naturally for some reason.

Yeah. Let’s eat.

The two nodded.

After the stormy mealtime, the hospital staff who had been building the barricade hesitated, wondering if they had something to say.

“Huh? What’s going on?”

“The bodies pushed beyond the barricades continue to disappear.”

He said that the corpses that were pushed away disappeared when he returned from working somewhere else for a while.

Ah- these people don’t know yet?

“Don’t worry about that. They said the infected people on the other side are being cleared away somewhere.”

“Huh? The infected are cleaning up the bodies?”

“Where are you talking about?”

I don’t know why you’re wondering that, but Maru didn’t know either.

“Why don’t you clear it somewhere? Have you finished building the barricades?”

“The third floor is completely built.”

“To ensure safety, wouldn’t it be better to adjust the number of floors in the elevator?”

The people remaining on the 15th floor were anxious and had barricaded themselves in front of the elevator on the 15th floor. It was like locking the barn door after the horse had bolted, but what can you do?

“Control the elevator floor?”

“yes.”

So, he said that you can control the number of floors the elevator opens at. If you do it manually, you can lock each floor with a master key, and the elevator will not stop at the locked floors and will just pass by. Or, he said that you can go to the control room and change the elevator operation.

I didn’t have to lock and unlock everything with the master key from the 1st floor to the 15th floor. After all, the master key is in the control room on the 1st floor. Isn’t that something that can be solved if you go there? If there’s a problem, it’s that the 1st floor hasn’t been cleaned up yet.

When I saw the hospital staff looking at me blankly, I suddenly became annoyed.

Since I secured the 2nd and 3rd floors, there was no problem with the surgery. I would be able to leave right after the surgery, so there seemed to be no reason to do anything else here. I wasn’t going to stay here either.

“No, nothing has happened so far, right? You said no infected people came up in the elevator?”

So when the elevator came up, you were so startled that you slammed against the window? Why were you so scared? You stabbed without even checking, and the infected person didn’t come up on the elevator? Then why did you slam? No matter how panicked you were, you weren’t in your right mind.

The hospital staff became anxious when he showed his annoyance so openly.

Kim Yang also had an indifferent expression. However, the driver of the amphibious vehicle thought differently.

“I think it would be okay to think of it as a mid-point. Above all, the helipad on the rooftop is a good facility.”

It was a midway point. If you were thinking of going from here to Tokyo, it seemed like a midway point. A helicopter landing pad on the rooftop. Up to four helicopters could take off and land at the same time, and it wasn’t common to have a maintenance depot where you could refuel and do simple repairs.

If that’s the case, then yes.

======

======

We arrived at the control room on the first floor without any problems. When we turned the handle, it was locked as expected.

dripping-

hmm.

dripping-

Is there no one? I think there is.

When I focused my senses, I felt something faint inside the door. What should I call it? It was a slightly different, uneasy feeling than the life-threatening feeling I had felt before.

Once I open the door, I will know the situation.

The door to the control room wasn’t particularly strong. I imitated Kim Yang with C4 and opened the door. With a loud bang, the door blew away. Something came out from inside along with a cloud of white dust.

Reflexively, the knife went out first.

Phew-

Whirlyrick-

Stab and cut down.

Thud.

With a cutting sound

dump.

He fell down quietly.
