RUST -850

The Rogers Centre in Toronto was the world’s first domed stadium.

A stadium that was used for baseball, American football, basketball, and even professional wrestling matches because its interior structure could be freely transformed.

Although it was a historic stadium, the Sacred Kingdom, which prioritizes survival and living, underwent extensive renovations and converted it into a large smart farm.

However, since the Holy Kingdom withdrew and took all the core equipment of the modular power plant and smart farm, the smart farm can no longer be operated.

The Canadian Free League converted the fully insulated Rogers Centre into a large assembly facility that could be used for political purposes.

And now, there were over 5,000 cannibals gathered at the Rogers Centre for political purposes.

[This is crazy.]

They immediately responded to Maru’s voice and the black area spreading out in a circle.

“What kind of kid is he?”

“It’s a stealth suit.”

“What is this?”

“It’s over there. It started over there.”

“Shoot!”

“Pfft- pop!”

Those who try to attack the floor by digging into the black garden that spreads out in a circle, those who quickly raise their guns and aim their guns at the floor, and those who unconditionally run in the opposite direction of the concentric circle.

In an instant, all the cannibals who moved according to their own judgment were swallowed up in the black garden. The cannibals were swallowed up in the black garden that spanned a radius of over 120m.

Even the first ones to run away were eaten by the black grass before they could take five steps.

“My foot got tangled in the grass!”

“No knife? Knife?”

I tried to get out by trampling on the black grass-like clump that reached up to my ankles, but the grass tangled around me like a landmine.

“Putain (f*ck).”

The moment his movement stopped because of the blade of grass, a vine rose up from the bushes like a snake and aimed for his neck.

With the cannibal’s characteristic reflexes, he avoided the vine that was initially aimed at his neck, but in the direction he avoided, another vine was already approaching. At the very moment, he was about to take out the knife at his waist with a curse.

His movements stopped. The fingers holding the knife trembled slightly, stiffened and relaxed repeatedly, and then lost their strength. The man stared at the knife that had fallen in vain, and his pupils gradually dilated and his reaction disappeared.

The vines that had been tightly wrapped around the dead corpse, as if they had no interest in it, unraveled and disappeared into the grass in search of other prey.

A body falling in a different direction with grass tangled around its ankles.

There was a crack – the sound of an ankle snapping, but no one paid attention. Everyone who had been with him was dead.

“Shoot!”

“Fuck, the vine leaves are blocking my view!”

“Just go inside and shoot.”

“You crazy bastard, go in there and shoot. Don’t just stick your mouth out!”

Because they were people who kept each other in check, the cannibals, unable to seize the opportunity when they had several chances, tried to push each other with their beaks.

Even in this situation, the fight to use the other person instinctively ended in vain. Not only was he unable to tear off the blade of grass that had wrapped around his ankle, but his vision was instantly blocked by the blade of grass that had grown to over 2m tall.

The long blades of grass, like vines and reeds, blocked the cannibals’ sight as if they were guarding the floor where their hiding powers had been released. It happened in an instant.

“Just shoot!”

It was only when the cannibals were caught in a situation that changed rapidly in seconds that they began to show unified movements, but it was too late.

The lower-ranking ones who had just become cannibals began to collapse for no reason. They were shooting their guns normally, but then suddenly fell over like discharged toys.

“Hey. Get the fuck up.”

“Do you think pretending to be dead will get you through?”

“What the hell is that crazy kid doing here!”

“Whose line is this kid on?”

Pulsuk-

Another comrade who just fell. After one fell, the falling began to spread as if it were an infectious disease. And that too in order from the center closer to the center.

“The gun isn’t working!”

“Grenade. If anyone has a grenade, throw one!”

“No napalm?”

“Zut (Zut shit) you stole napalm from the Holy Kingdom. Use that!”

The leaves on the vines were intact even after being hit by bullets, and the swaying blades of grass were intact. The cannibal’s body vision recognized the unreality of the situation even before changing a single magazine.

pop!

Kwaaaaaaaang!

The grenade and napalm exploded almost simultaneously, but the grenade fragments were crushed into the taller grass, and the napalm flames were blotted out by the living, moving vines.

“The flame went out?”

“Napalm fire?”

It was a napalm grenade used by the Holy Kingdom Army. The flames of the napalm grenade, which were so lethal that they were rumored to be so vicious that they were so effective, completely killed him.

“Eww! Shoot!”

“Shoot!”

The cannibal, who was changing the magazine and urging fire toward the center at that strange sight, suddenly realized that the surroundings were too quiet. There was too little gunfire.

His eyes, which had been pulling the trigger while pointing the gun straight ahead, glanced to the side. The person right next to him had disappeared.

Tudadadada-

Is the guy on the right gone? Glance- eyes turned to the left. Likewise, the guy right next to him was gone.

“Eww— these kids!”

Creek – The moment he lowered his head to change the empty magazine, he saw a leg. A corpse lying in a strangely broken shape, the leg tangled in the short grass.

There were fallen bodies strewn about, left and right. Even the guy who had shouted for them to throw the grenade, and the guy who had thrown the napalm, were all lying there.

Churi ri ri ri rik-

And the black vines that had been wrapped around the corpse rushed towards the last remaining cannibal from all directions.

“Shit—-”

‧

When I organized a few dozen cannibals, I was a little hesitant, but when I went over a thousand, there was something I could definitely feel.

‘Vines and grass stop bullets?’

As I used my ability, the stealth of the Ripper suit was automatically canceled. It was only for a very short moment, but my position was revealed, so I tried to dodge diagonally and rush forward, but before I could, the cannibals were all annihilated.

Bullets rained down on the vine leaves and blades of grass. The bullets, which had enormous kinetic energy, lost their power and fell down as they touched the broad vine leaves and razor-sharp blades of grass.

‘You ate the kinetic energy? You killed the bullet’s power? No, you erased the impulse? How?’

Maru couldn’t understand the power he was using either. It was just a phenomenon. That phenomenon became more evident when the grenades and napalm bombs exploded.

The shrapnel that was spreading in all directions lost its power, and the flames that should have been rising were instantly extinguished. Maru also knew well the power of the new napalm grenade.

‘The flames were extinguished.’

It really happened, as they say, ‘The fire was put out’, ‘The fire was put out’.

‘Bulletproof and flame retardant. No, should I say fire extinguishing ability?’

If you look at it simply, it was like that. If you look at it simply.

The moment when Maru swallowed up the small sun flashed through his mind.

The moment I ate the heat of the sun, I remembered the time when I caused an eclipse.

And now, the Rogers Centre, where over 5,000 cannibals roared, is in silence.

Maru has released the garden that has taken over the entire Rogers Centre.

Dead cannibals were strewn about among the grass and vines that had turned into glittering particles and disappeared. From corpses with broken ankles and broken limbs to corpses with no visible marks on their exterior.

When the Black Garden disappeared, death itself was everywhere.

‧

Tsk tsk! (They’re dead. They’re all dead!!!)

Really? (Really?)

Sizzle! Sizzle! (It was true! The old people’s words were true!)

Sizzle? (What about the others?)

The rat, who was out of breath and explaining the situation, suddenly started foaming at the mouth and died of a heart attack.

The season had already changed, and the mice had not seen the being that occasionally descended. The mice that had mutated and had slightly extended their life spans told the future generations about the god of death and drew pictures of him.

However, the baby rats who had become smarter were curious and did not believe the stories the old people told. And the rats who gathered at the Rogers Center were able to understand the old people’s ramblings when they heard that they could see the existence of death.

Death spreading with the rat’s unique sense of sensitivity. Death rising. Death devouring like a snake. I could feel it. I was just trying to watch from nearby. The rats in the far corner were all killed.

It died instantly when it brushed against the black blades of grass that were sticking out, and even the rats that hadn’t touched the blades of grass died. It was as if the great death itself had brushed past.

A scene where humans who eat people. So, even humans who are much stronger than normal people are killed in droves. And a scene where even the rats who directly witnessed the scene died.

When they heard the news, several rats went to the scene in disbelief and died. The little bit of death that remained was still a death note. Even a rat the size of an arm could not withstand the signs of death.

Snap! (It’s a corpse!)

Crap! (Human-eating human corpse!)

The greed of the rats made them ignore the evidence of death and rush in. The rats that rushed in became evidence of death themselves.

Piling up. Piling up. Piling up. Piling up rat corpses. Piling up death. Piling up fear.

Jeeeeek! (Run away!)

The newly born young rats added one more line to the old man’s oral tradition.

Never. Never. Never. Do not doubt death!

‧

Kaaaaaaah- (You foolish kids-)

Crows and magpies looking down from between the dome structures cawing softly at what the mice were doing.

Caw! (Looking at them is useless!)

Kk. Kkaa- (It’ll be a mess again in a few generations-)

As the little mice grew smarter and developed thumbs, they began to use and make crude tools.

Kaaaak? (Shouldn’t I sweep it once so that it doesn’t stretch too much?)

Knock, knock. (Because there are ants and mice to clean up.)

From those who use human tools as if they were human to those who build underground rat cities, these rat bastards are so energetic that they seem to have air in their lungs.

If it weren’t for his words, they would be fresh prey but they are still very reproductive, but looking at their behavior, it seems like they need to be weeded out periodically.

The young crows kept their mouths shut and just listened to the conversation between the adult crows. The young crows were curious, but they were more shocked than curious.

Even just looking at it from between the tall dome structures was enough to give me a heart attack.

The young crows, who had not understood why the excellent crows had to obey human commands and live together, could understand.

The humans who freely manipulated machine weapons were strong, but what was more fearsome was the existence of death.

Although it was different from the rumors of an invisible death, the existence of death itself was real. And it was even more terrifying than the rumors.

Kkaa. Kkaaaaaah… (What a shame. If I ate that cannibal, I’d become stronger…)

Huh? (Are you an idiot?)

Kaaaaaa? (You still want to eat it after watching the rats die one after another?)

Caw. (Even the little rat is like that. It’s a pity.)

While the rats could not overcome their greed and died in great numbers, the crows were able to endure it.

Kaaaaaaaaaah? (But didn’t you say death was instantaneous?)

Kk. (Yeah, that’s what I heard too.)

But the scene that the crows saw was different. It felt like death didn’t disappear right away, but lingered. It was like the smell lingered at the tip of the beak even after cleaning it.

The young crows and magpies forgot their discomfort and discussed the death unfolding below. One thing was certain. Death was real and real.

Several CCTVs attached to the dome structure managed to capture the situation. The footage was salvageable because the EMP-like powers unleashed in the Garden of Death did not spread far.

“What the hell is that? Did you see that? Rats dying?”

EMP(Electro-Magnetic Pulse) is like that too, seeing as how it killed a bunch of rats, it seemed like it still had some killing power even though the Black Garden was gone. So it’s like when you take a shit and flush the toilet and there’s still shit stuck to the bottom of the toilet?

Everyone slightly frowned at Kim Yang’s analogy. It was an intuitive analogy, but it wasn’t a typical analogy.

“Big- It’s strange that at first there was no aura of death left.”

“It’s not that they didn’t remain, but even if they did remain, it wasn’t so weak.”

Na Ju-yeon shook her head at Hood’s doubts.

“Well, we couldn’t check it last time because of the rat pups. Yeah. We might not know.”

“Not only the rats, but there was no one who went to the scene to check.”

Ki-soon added to Kim Yang’s words.

“If you think about it, researchers might have gone in there to investigate the scene and died like rats, really. That is···”

No matter how great Maru’s ability was… it was terrible.

“It’s not just a place of death. It’s similar to bulletproof, as you can see from the gunshots, but it’s also been cleared of napalm flames.”

Na Ju-yeon’s eyes sparkled inside her panda-like brow ridges.

There were so many topics to study that I dug and dug. It killed bacteria, viruses, and even fungi, and there was even a possibility that the effects would last longer than they did…

“His abilities are important, but I think what the cannibals said is also important.”

The PD changed the subject. He said that we should not overlook the fact that cannibals are approaching the Imperial Council and the upper echelons of the Empire again.

“What did I say? Didn’t I say that it’s better to clean up quickly when you have to clean up?”

Miss Kim smiled coolly.

So this time, everyone keep quiet.

Don’t bother each other when the two of you are going together.

huh.
