RUST -90

As soon as I got off the elevator, the men who were looking around cautiously signaled with their eyes, “What should we do?”

“First, let’s get the people down here.”

“Are you talking about all these people?”

“Yes. All 15 floors.”

“Okay, everyone, come this way.”

“You heard everything. Please go down to the 15th floor according to these people’s instructions. Do not come up. And the person who piloted the doctor helicopter, will you come here?”

The helicopter pilot, who had just gotten off the helicopter and was looking bewildered, looked at me with an expression like, ‘What’s going on?’

“Yes, pilot, please come this way.”

The middle-aged doctor looked at the pilot and tore the floor off.

“Is that guy going to throw it too? Then who’s going to fly the helicopter? That won’t work.”

“Ah. If there’s a helicopter pilot, tell him to take me somewhere. I’m going out now. So if I send him out, he’ll come back later and ask me to save him. It’s obvious. Then, there’s another medical worker missing, but we have to bring him no matter what. That’s bound to happen. It’s a headache, right? It’s just a preventive measure. A preventive measure.”

“What kind of prevention is that? Is that prevention? That’s not prevention. Don’t do that. We’re going to send that pilot down with the people. What if something happens later? Shouldn’t there be a reserve pilot?”

“I don’t want to get my nose pierced while thinking about this and that.”

“Who will pierce your nose? I will take responsibility and take you away.”

“Well. Since you said you’re responsible, let’s leave the pilot alone, but what about the people who got off the helicopter? Should we send them all off comfortably?”

When he heard that he would be sent off comfortably, the middle-aged doctor asked, “What does that mean?” and then his face turned pale.

“Easy? No. No. I’ll take all of those people to the 15th floor. I said it would be a week to ten days. I’ll make sure nothing happens during that time, so just send them down. Not down there, but to the 15th floor.”

“What. I trust you, teacher, and I’m just letting you go. You know that, right? If something seems strange, just go.”

“Okay. I’ll make sure not to make any other noise.”

“Do you believe me? You said you would take responsibility?”

A middle-aged doctor who had torn up the floor led people who were shocked by the live broadcast of the House of Councilors falling down the stairs.

The men came up, controlling the people and sending them down to the 15th floor.

“How about the fire door there? Is it weldable?”

“It is possible. It would require some iron to weld it firmly, but the structure is not difficult to weld.”

“Is there any other way up to the helipad from the 15th floor?”

“I think there’s another emergency staircase over there?”

“Really? There could be more due to the size of the building, so please find them all. I’m going to block all the stairs and iron doors leading up to the helipad on the 15th floor. You can block them all and weld them together.”

“Are you saying to block everything?”

“Yes. Block it completely, whether it’s for emergency or not.”

“completely?”

“yes.”

The men immediately started welding iron fittings onto the iron gate.

“I’ll weld this if you tell me to, but what will I do if there’s an emergency?”

“What about an emergency? If you don’t go crazy and barricade down to the 14th floor and make a fuss, there won’t be any problems. Oh, just in case some people come up with strange ideas. Make sure to weld it as tightly as possible. It’s better to do it properly than to force it through and get tired of it opening.”

“Is that okay?”

“When we leave later, when we open the elevator, it’ll take care of it. Until then, it would be better to just block it off completely so we don’t have to worry about it.”

“If that’s the case.”

Chijichik- Chijijijik-

Sparks flew from the welding rod.

Maru called a man who said he could pilot a helicopter.

“You said you knew how to fly a helicopter?”

I asked the man who nodded immediately.

“Can you bring the boss here right away?”

“If it was a Kawasaki BK 117, it would have been difficult to inspect because of its age, but since it’s a Bell 429 model, I don’t think there will be any major issues. Let’s fill up the fuel tank and check it first, and then we’ll talk.”

“Okay. If you’re ready, just let me know. I’ll be down there getting ready.”

“Okay.”

Mr. Kim was disassembling and cleaning a Glock 17.

I poked the barrel until it made a squeaking sound, and wiped and wiped the oiled parts until they made a squeaking sound. It was a subtle feeling. Something about it felt a little strange.

I went to the hospital room earlier and came back like this. It was a gun that I could assemble and disassemble with my eyes closed, but it felt strange. I couldn’t tell what kind of feeling or emotion this was.

‘Hmm.’

Is it because of Baekjeong?

There is a medicine that increases your stamina by 10 points, so is it like telling you to put it in and mix it? I imagined a scene where I put in a 10 point level medicine and fought Baekjeong 1:1. I pulled out the gun coolly. A gun pulled out at 10 point level speed! It was really fast though. Boom- I could see the ending where I got stabbed and died.

Dori dori.

‘No. This is.’

Close range combat was beyond the capabilities of a ten-gun system.

What about sniping?

I used my ten-level ability to find the optimal position for sniping. In an instant, I finished preparing to snipe, and the moment I looked at Baekjeong with my scope. Baekjeong glanced at me and disappeared from my sight? Ah! A sense of deja vu. Where have I seen this before… When I looked at Baekjeong with my scope, I immediately remembered Baekjeong looking at me. My memories and imagination overlapped. Then, bang- bang- the ending.

Dori dori.

This is not it either.

I thought I could fight dozens of people if I just held a gun and had the ability to fight at the level of a 10th-grade fighter, but Baekjeong just couldn’t give me an estimate.

‘huh?’

As I thought about how to mix it with Baekjeong, I felt like my subtle feelings were being sorted out a bit.

As I thought about Baekjeong, I felt like I was becoming kinder as the strange feeling disappeared. My delusions disappeared and I felt like I was reaching the state of nirvana… I don’t know why, but I felt peaceful? Huh?

Dori dori.

This isn’t it either. Why are you suddenly like this?

Mr. Kim quickly disassembled the Glock 17, then reassembled it.

Chul-chul- a healthy right arm. I hadn’t worn it for a few days, but it felt light without the cast. I alternated between one-handed and two-handed grips to get my posture back and regained my senses. It was a process of returning my senses back to normal from the feeling of shooting a Walther P22 with my left hand.

‘friend···.’

The image of Baekjeong and Gisun laughing and chatting came to mind. When I saw them from the side, they seemed like two people who didn’t get along at all. But they were friends. And they were friends who saved each other’s lives.

‘They saved each other’s lives.’

Then am I also friends with Ki-sun? Yes. Friends. Can we be friends? Suddenly, I remembered what Ki-sun had said.

‘Just in words?’

Ah- That kind of thing wasn’t what friends were made of. A friend is more about ‘loyalty’ than ‘profit’. Isn’t it something like ‘loyalty’ that binds you together?

‘Huh?’

Profit? Would I have risked my life if I had paid the money? If it had been me, would I have thrown myself without a second thought when Ki-soon was in danger of dying? Why would I have done that? Ki-soon. Even though I wasn’t her type. Baek-jeong had saved her life several times, and Ki-soon was doing the same. Why?

When Kim Yang thought of Baekjeong again from Baekjeong to Gisun, she felt really strange. She felt goosebumps. She felt envious. She felt lonely because she thought she would never be able to make friends like that.

Clang- bang- tick!

Clang- bang- tick!

[Chijik-]

Ah- It’s Baekjeong.

[Kisun comes to the hospital room. – Chijik]

“Okay.”

Clang- Tick!

Clang- Tick!

Okay. Nothing wrong.

Since Baekjeong called, something might happen again?

Be prepared. Bring a sniper rifle, and maybe two grenades? And two smoke bombs.

Oh right. I should also bring C4 and some Claymore just in case.

Gas mask? Where did you put the gas mask?

Maru said abruptly as he saw Ms. Kim coming into the hospital room.

“Where are you going to war?”

“······.”

Jongganna Saetki!

“No, why are you doing that again? Both of you, relax your eyes a bit. Why do you suddenly do this every now and then when you were doing well?”

“What did I do? I told you to come over for a quick chat. You came heavily armed, so I said one thing.”

“······.”

Ki-soon shook her head with an expression that said, ‘What should I do with this?’

“First of all, you… Aside from that, the director, vice director, and research director here threw the members of the National Assembly who arrived by helicopter out?”

“Oh. He’s not dead.”

I saw it slide gently into the pond, though it was dark so I couldn’t be sure.

“No. Please. Oh no. It’s not about whether you die or not! Why again? Why? Because?”

Ki-soon patted her chest. Kim Yang nodded along.

“It would have been better if he hadn’t died right away.”

“Hey, it’s the 15th floor. Even if you only count 3m, it’s 45m. Since you went down the slope, it should be fine. There was a pond? Do you think you’re alive? Is this a movie? Phew- You said you heard a noise from below? Did that sound normal?”

“I thought you were swearing a lot?”

“Really. Please. Sir, have mercy. Why are you acting so scary? And you said that this hospital was invested in by Charlotte. But what are you going to do after you throw away all the people involved?”

“It’s unfortunate, but there’s nothing we can do. Who told you to raise those guys?”

Ki-soon suddenly lost her breath… Phew- She caught her breath.

“Let’s say that’s true. But why did you throw the member of parliament out? Japanese parliamentarians are often local figures, and they are people who have been members of parliament for generations in the same neighborhood. So they are often major shareholders or actual owners of large hospitals in the neighborhood. If Charlotte is an investor, the local member of the House of Councilors is often the actual owner of the hospital. If you look at it that way, you just threw the actual owner of the hospital out.”

Maru, who had been listening to the explanation silently, tilted his head and then laughed. Ki-sun wondered if he really should be scared.

“Hmm- That’s good. What will other people think? ‘Wow, he really is a guy who throws things when the time comes. I have to be careful.’ I guess. From now on, there won’t be any guys who install things without any sense.”

Ki-soon was confused, how did my friend end up like this?

“Hey. You have no intention of taking responsibility for this, do you?”

“That’s a given. What’s the aftermath? I decided to just think about getting my identity back.”

Ki-soon, who had been laughing at those words, suddenly shouted.

“Will it work?”

“It’s already complicated, but if you throw a Japanese member of parliament into it, what are you going to do about it?”

Ki-sun, who had been having a seizure for a moment, caught her breath again.

“What’s the real reason? That’s the conclusion, but isn’t there some reason?”

“As a precaution.”

“What kind of precaution…. Did you just throw it out there because you thought the member would find fault with it?”

“There’s that too. I didn’t know he was the real owner of this hospital, but the atmosphere was shitty. Seeing all the hospital staff and medical staff come out to the helipad and prepare to greet me. I thought if I left that guy alone, it would be a mess. The guys who were causing trouble on the first floor were preparing to greet me. Should I just leave that guy alone? That’s why I kept throwing things at him.”

Ki-soon sighed deeply.

“If you came by helicopter, wouldn’t the members’ families have come with you?”

“Ah- So there were a lot of people? So if you’re going to do it, you should pull it out by the roots? Oh- King Gi-soon. Here-”

“No, please. That’s not what I meant. Okay, that’s enough. What should I do when the boss comes?”

“What are we going to do? When we go by helicopter, Ms. Kim and I will ride together, pick up the president, and go straight to Tokyo. If we go straight without stopping here, what do we know?”

“Why not? He must have told me to stop by when he came. He said there’s a research lab here that’s doing research in collaboration with the hospital and Yamazaki Pharmaceuticals. Charlotte also invested in the hospital, Yamazaki Pharmaceuticals, and Takaichi Pharmaceuticals, so would she just leave? She must be trying to grab something from here.”

“I told you to do that after you go to Tokyo. First, take him to the Tokyo Yamatsuki Shinyaku headquarters. We’ll create an identity. I want this to be done quickly.”

“The real plan is to go at full speed. So, the people and the congressman were thrown away so that they could go straight to Tokyo without the president’s older sister knowing, right?”

“Is there any need to say this?”

“Don’t the gentlemen above know?”

“Do you understand? I took care of it before I came up.”

“I knew it?”

“Well, how did you know?”

Ki-soon shook the radio.

“People on the 15th floor were complaining to me. Why are you like that?”

“From now on, just say that you’re very safety-conscious.”

Ki-soon laughed in vain.

“The people who were thrown down didn’t die, right?”

“I told you he’s not dead. Why? Shouldn’t you have taken care of him properly?”

Maru said with the face of a farmer about to harvest. Kisun said while rubbing the goosebumps on her arm.

“Oh, man, this is creepy. Turn on your blinkers and come in. Don’t say things like that with that expression on your face. I’m really surprised.”

“No, what’s wrong with that? I threw it after thinking about it. I thought that if I killed it with my hands, people here might misunderstand and make an extreme choice, so I ended it with a moderate fall.”

“Okay, good job. Good job. Next time, I hope there won’t be any more falling, banishment, support, or sleeping.”

“How could something like this happen again? But it’s a bit strange if the actual owner of this hospital is that doctor.”

“what?

“You used rapid-acting medication during your surgery, right? But most of the medical staff seemed to be seeing it for the first time.”

Ki-soon was lost in thought for a moment.

Kim Yang glared at Maru with an expression that said, “If you’re just going to talk to the two of you, why did you ask me to come?” Kim Yang’s eyes narrowed. Maru also squinted and looked at Kim Yang.

“I think the rapid treatment drug was developed by Yamatsuki Shinyaku. Maybe the combat stimulant? Tactical drug? It seems like Yamatsuki Shinyaku is a company that mainly researches that.”

“If it’s over there, I guess I can get the Chinese medicine at Yamazaki Pharmaceutical Research Institute?”

“That’s right. I wish I could get a quick cure. If I miss this opportunity, I might never be able to see it again, right?”

“That’s definitely true, it’s a spare life.”

These are medicines I would have never known about if the world hadn’t become such a mess.

“Here it is.”

Ms. Kim, who had been quiet, held out three ampoule syringes.

“Huh? This is that medicine, right?”

Maru reacted immediately.

“Is this a battle stimulant or a tactical drug?”

Ki-sun also showed interest. For some reason, Ms. Kim shrugged her shoulders.

“What are the effects? Have you tried it?”

“I haven’t tried it. The effect is that it allows the average person to move about ten degrees? It doesn’t seem to make you very excited. I also checked the side effects.”

Hmm- Maru noticed that Kim Yang’s speech had changed a bit.

What- This is fine too. What does it matter how you say it? Does it matter? Something like distance?

“Tenth? What is tenth?”

At the moment when Kim Yang glanced at Baek Jeong at Ki-sun’s muttering, the walkie-talkie Maru was holding lit up.

[Chijik-Helicopter check results: No problems in operation.]

“Then can we leave right away?”

[Chi- Yes. That’s right.]

“I’m going up now. Let’s go right away once I get up there.”

[-beep- Yes. I will prepare.]

After finishing the call, Maru looked up and down at the equipment that Kim Yang was carrying and gave a thumbs up.

As expected, Miss Kim. She is very well prepared.

Jongganna Saetki. Just now you said you were going to war?

Miss Kim turned her head away.
