RUST-91
I was momentarily stunned when I received a satellite call from the staff member who had sent me to the stolen hospital.
Is what you just heard true? It can’t be a dream, right?
“What? Say it again. What did you do with House of Councilors Keiichi Kadama?”
[Chijik – Thrown from the 15th floor.]
“You really just threw it? Without saying anything? Just like that?”
[Yes. They say he was thrown as soon as he got off the helicopter. There was no time to talk or communicate. They say he slid down the sloping roof and didn’t die instantly, but considering his age, it’s unlikely he would have survived.]
“······.”
What the hell is this? Why on earth? This is the Japanese House of Councilors. What are you thinking?
“Did you throw it because you thought it was a member of the House of Councilors? No, why did you throw it?”
[Chijik – He said he knew that they were members of the National Assembly. He didn’t hear why they threw them. He said that he threw not only members of the National Assembly, but also 8 people, including the hospital director.]
“Wait a minute… So you’re saying you threw the hospital director away too?”
[Beep- Yes. He said that he threw the director, vice director, and the heads of the infectious disease department, clinical pathology department, blood cancer department, and neurology department, as well as Representative Gadama’s secretary and bodyguard.]
A situation that makes me want to curse. After calming down and thinking about it, it seemed like the people who threw it weren’t just thrown around. They were all people who had a close relationship with the experiment.
The experiments being conducted at the stolen hospital were not particularly disgusting, so why? More importantly, how did they know that those people were involved in the experiments? The researchers dispatched from Yamatsuki Pharmaceutical? There must be security guards there too. Are they okay?
I took a sip of tea to relieve my nagging headache, but it didn’t help.
‘Didn’t your friend stop you?’
Even though he may be a bit inexperienced, if he were a friend who understood politics, he would have stopped him from throwing away key figures without a plan, but wasn’t it a situation where the brakes had to be applied because of the surgery?
Even if my friend had come to his senses, there would have been no one to stop him if he had made up his mind to draw his knife and attack. It was the same even now.
“So what are you going to do from now on?”
[Chijijik- He said he was going to pick up the president right away. He said he was going to pick up the president and then go straight to Tokyo Yamatsuki Shinyaku.]
Is he keeping his promise? That’s good, but it was hard to predict what would happen in the future. There were too many people who immediately went over to the headquarters. It was as if half of the supporters in Japan had disappeared.
‘Maybe more than half.’
Kkadak-
I bit my fingernails without realizing it. It was hard to predict the situation, and I had to get help from someone I couldn’t control. In fact, if Maru hadn’t participated, it would have been total destruction.
In this situation, if another problem arises, the Kadama family will cause trouble, Yamatsuki Shinyaku will do the same, the headquarters will be after them, and even those who betrayed them will run wild. Thinking about this, I felt suffocated. Why are you suddenly throwing people in there… Complicate things.
“Okay, I understand.”
[Yes – we just got a signal from the helicopter that they are about to depart, so we should be there in about 10 to 15 minutes.]
“I’m preparing.”
The problem of getting to Tokyo was solved with the advent of helicopters.
If we had moved by land or sea, it would have been a raid, but there was also the possibility that unexpected things might happen, so I was relieved.
Going there was a problem, but arriving in Tokyo was the problem. The Yamatsugi New Drug Underground Laboratory was a perfectly protected facility, like a military bunker. If it was occupied by another group or headquarters personnel, it had to be recaptured by force.
Since communication with Tokyo was cut off, it was a situation where I had to go and check it out myself. It would be difficult to recapture it with the personnel I had now, and even if I recaptured it and secured the recipe and medicine, it would be difficult to protect it. In the end, I needed Kim Yang and Maru’s force. Even if there was friction with the Kadama family or Yamatsuki Shinyaku. What was important right now was force.
It has the disadvantage of being difficult to control because you don’t know where it will go, but in a situation like now where you can’t predict even an inch ahead, is the lack of control really a problem?
‘We’ll have to stay together until things are resolved…’
While I was sorting out everything that needed to be sorted out in Japan, there had to be two people. Since it was a place where give and take were certain, it seemed possible if I could give it to them. I had already given up on the neutralizer card, and the rapid cure card was a card that was hard to give up, so I was worried.
“How about taking my family in Korea hostage?”
A small voice was heard from the swaying shadows.
“Hostage. What does that mean? If you leave Korea while ignoring the World Group, it seems like you’re basically giving up your family and leaving. Above all, taking hostages or threatening them is dangerous because of your nature. If you threaten them and they cut you without thinking about the consequences, would you be able to stop them?”
“······.”
Whether it’s a hostage or a threat, you’ll die before you know it. Threat? If you have the ability to threaten, it would be better to just use that ability to handle it yourself. It’s not like in the movies where you take a hostage and say, “Put the gun down,” and you don’t just throw it away, and if you just run away and hold a knife, there’s no answer.
“He’s the guy who just threw a member of the House of Councilors off the 15th floor. He’s not the type of person who would benefit from political power? Fame? And he’s not the type of person who would threaten or take hostages? Well, I don’t know.”
“···But if we’re friends, wouldn’t we become hostages?”
“Friend. Well, there’s a good chance that I could be taken hostage, but it’s too risky to take a chance. The moment I take her hostage, I’ll definitely lose my communication channel called Ki-soon.”
“······.”
“Anyway, since there is someone I can talk to, it is possible that I can coordinate through a friend, but what’s wrong with Miss Kim? She is a woman without family, friends, or a lover. People say she is weak to money and gold, but she is a woman who values her own safety the most. How can I persuade her?”
Even if Maru could persuade Gi-sun, it wasn’t Ms. Kim. It was clear from what happened in Busan. She said she would only go as far as she could, but she really did go as far as she could, threw everything away, and left right away.
“When I watched from the side, it seemed like Maru was strangely listening to what the person said.”
“Really? That’s unexpected.”
In order to have him stay in Japan until things settled down to some extent, the best way was to first persuade his friend Ki-sun. Ki-sun could persuade Maru, and Maru could capture Ms. Kim.
A rough estimate is given. What does Ki-soon want? Revenge against her half-brother? Securing a stake in the group? If she succeeds in taking over Charlotte Group, helping Ki-soon wouldn’t be a problem. At least she’s a friend she can communicate with.
I need to meet Ki-sun and talk to her separately.

The man piloting the helicopter also turned his head when he saw Kim Yang’s weapons.
A small body packed with various weapons and equipment. It was both impressive and brave.
“Isn’t it heavy?”
“No work.”
I see you carrying a load and groaning as you ride. It looks heavy.
“Got it? I told Security Guard 1 that you are the only one with the elevator master key. No matter what they say on the 15th floor, don’t open it.”
“I get it.”
“What do you know? Even if they keep whining that an infected person came in from the 15th floor, don’t open the door. Got it?”
“No. That’s not quite right.”
No? Even if he says so. Shouldn’t you have seen with your own eyes the people’s brains and livers being eaten on the first floor?
“Okay. Give me the key. Give it here. I’ll take it.”
“Hey, I said I got it. If you take it, how are you and the others going to get treatment? You said to take care of the wound for a week and take the prescribed medicine? I’ll take good care of the key. Got it. Seriously.”
“If something happens and you feel like it’s going to be stolen, just throw it out the window.”
“Oh, my gosh – then what should I do about the treatment?”
“You can just apply red medicine or ointment or take prescribed medicine. This won’t work. Give me the keys. Seriously.”
Ki-soon slapped the hand that Maru held out.
“I’ll take care of it. Just go and come back quickly.”
“You seem to think it’s easy, but you know what happens if you do that?”
“Ah-shit. It’s scary again. I got it. Take good care of your boss and go. Miss Kim, take care of yourself and go.”
Kim Yang nodded to Gi-sun’s words. Gi-sun smiled like a father at the sight of Kim Yang.
The propeller that had been spinning around began to move violently with a thumping engine sound.
“Do a really good job.”
“I told you, I understand. Have a nice trip.”
The doctor’s helicopter soared through the night sky.
[Chi- What should I do?]
“Let’s increase our altitude in case there are any crazy birds. At top cruising speed.”
The night sky was strange. On one side, stars were pouring down, while on the other side, it was a completely dark sky. All the volcanoes had erupted, and with the tsunami, it couldn’t have been more chaotic.
“How long will it take?”
[10 minutes is enough.]
“Did you get through?”
[Yes, the helicopter radio works well.]
“It’s a rescue helicopter. It must be able to lift the patient, right?”
[Are you talking about the hoist? It’s on the left side. Do you know how to use a hoist?]
“No. I just wanted to read the manual.”
[Chijijik- I saw a while ago that there was a booklet in the pocket next to the left door. It should be there.]
I took out the booklet. I looked at it and it was a simple manual for the emergency equipment on the helicopter. The instructions for using the tow bar in the middle. It was simple. One for controlling the speed, and one for raising and lowering. Just two switches. The only thing you have to be careful of is not to tangle the cables or bend them too sharply.
‘It’s simpler and easier than I thought.’
Maru nodded. However, there were no rescue stretchers or emergency beds on the helicopter. It seemed like they had cleared everything out to bring in the members of the National Assembly and their families.
“I don’t see any rescue chairs or anything here, so can I just lower the rope?”
[Chijik- There will be a structural triangle belt. I saw it in the back while checking the maintenance earlier.]
I found it right away. It was something like a red triangular quilt with a belt attached.
[Chijik – Almost there. We’ll be there in 3 minutes.]
Searchlights in the distance. Mega yachts and catamarans were floating in the dark sea. The sight of a white yacht floating on the black sea was somewhat strange.
Doo doo doo doo – As the helicopter lowered its altitude, the sea began to boil.
Fish jumping like flying fish between the waves swaying due to the wind from the helicopter propeller. Fish were being torn apart, eaten, and eaten, and then drawn to the blood, and they were being driven back again.
[Chijik- Hoist. Did you get off?]
“I’m getting off now.”
Jiiing
The rescue triangle belt attached to the hoist went down with the sound of the motor. Maru checked that the president had filled the triangle belt and started winding the cable. It felt a little heavy. It seemed like the president was alone, but it seemed like the bodyguard had turned on the optical equipment and was hanging with him.
The sea, swayed by the wind from the helicopter propeller, became increasingly turbulent. Blood and fish entrails splattered like fried food in boiling oil. The mega yacht and catamaran began to rock more and more violently.
As the meats were killing and killing, eating and being eaten, bigger and bigger meats were gathering. But that wasn’t the problem.
Huh? This feeling.
A tingling sensation. An uneasy and nervous feeling. My heart was pounding wildly.
When I looked at the sea, it seemed like the sea had suddenly disappeared.
Buzzing – a feeling of my head being throbbed and squeezed. This is it. So this is it.
Grasp – A meat of unknown origin jumped.
A movement as if trying to escape from the water. The fish jumped several meters and fell into the sea. As if that was a signal, the fish started jumping like crazy.
Maru shouted reflexively.
“Raise the altitude!”
[It is dangerous to change altitude while towing with a chi-hoist.]
I felt uneasy. I was so anxious that I just wanted to get away.
“Upload it right now, unconditionally!”
[Beep- ···The altitude is rising slowly. Please control the hoist carefully.]
As the altitude gradually increased, the president hanging from the hoist began to sway from side to side. The president, wearing an orange life jacket, was shouting something, but it could not be heard because of the noise of the propeller.
Squeak. Kick. The noise and vibration from the hoist connection grew louder.
Maru felt bigger than that. His head was pounding and his stomach was churning. Now he knew for sure.
“Sound the tsunami warning to yachts and kadamarans. Tsunami is coming.”
[Chijik- Yes? Are you sure?]
Maru pulled out his sword and struck the cockpit.
“Warning now. Keep raising altitude.”
The helicopter pilot glanced at the floor with an expression that said, ‘Is this kid crazy? I’m piloting a helicopter right now, and he’s doing this with a knife?’ and then announced a tsunami warning via a public reply.
The lights on the mega yachts and catamarans blinked busily as they began to move out to sea.
It seemed like I could hear the sea crying.
Woof-woof- the feeling of the sea rushing in with a sound that a giant creature would make.
Near the coast. Perhaps because it had already been swept away by a tsunami once, there were still some lights on in the city and the half-destroyed village, and no tsunami warnings were sounding.
Disaster struck such a quiet city and town. The port city and town disappeared in an instant as the tsunami struck with such force that it seemed as if it would swallow everything up.
“Hak- Hak- Suddenly! If we raise the altitude···.”
The president, who had entered the helicopter in a startled manner, stopped shouting and instead saw the tsunami crashing down on him. The shadow rippling beside him also stiffened slightly.
[-Chiji-jik, both the yacht and the catamaran are said to be undamaged.]
“Let’s go straight to Tokyo.”
[-chi- Are you talking about Tokyo?]
“Yes. As soon as possible.”
The president, who had come to his senses, fiddled with his life jacket, wondering if it was too tight, and spoke to the helicopter pilot.
“Just a moment. I’m going to the stolen hospital. I’m going to stop by the stolen hospital.”
Maru said with a smile.
“Do you want to get off, sir?”
“yes?”
“We finished talking. We decided to go to Tokyo quickly, visit the secret lab, and do that, right? Right? But why are you going to the hospital? Yes?”
“Tsunami now… Gyaaaaaaah!”
