RUST [RUST]-934

Since the music wasn’t thumping like in a club, Maru tried to muffle the sound of movement as much as possible.

“···They say that Android has been improved to the point where it can replace human workers.”

“The Holy Kingdom uses a currency based on physical gold?”

It was a party where soft classical music was played so that it did not disturb the conversations of people gathered in groups of three or five. It was a scene that naturally reminded me of an upper-class party scene in a movie.

People in stylish suits and dresses were spending their time so peacefully. The raised floor on one corner of the terrace was a little disconcerting.

‘That’s ridiculous.’

The flock of seagulls that attacked suffered almost annihilation, and the situation was so dangerous that all the remaining seagulls were mobilized in an emergency because of the risk of the island’s location being discovered. What are they doing leisurely?

If Maru hadn’t ordered the seagulls to be driven off moderately, it would have been a matter of time before the crows found the island and bombed it.

‘I reported that a flock of seagulls couldn’t stop it. Is that so?’

Several thoughts crossed Maru’s mind at the moment, but there was nothing wrong with it. They might have blocked the information in the middle while fighting among themselves, or even if they had the information, they might have overlooked the danger…

‘Let’s catch just one and go.’

The guys here also have suicide devices attached to their heads. You can tell when you see them. The moment you lean out from the corner of the terrace, the classical music suddenly stops.

?

Maru turned his head toward the musicians. The string quartet musicians stopped playing and looked at Maru.

A gaze felt momentarily.

It wasn’t just the performers who were watching.

All of the people who had been gathered in groups of three or five and talking were looking at Maru, who was about to enter from the terrace.

‘crazy.’

The Ripper suit’s stealth function was working properly.

‘But why are you looking this way?’

A thought suddenly occurred to me. I remember seeing that high-level cannibals, that is, high-level cannibals and vampires, were hiding in ripper suits.

So that means that all of these here are at least upper-level cannibals, and at most top-level cannibals and vampires.

‘shit.’

If my heart had warned me, I wouldn’t have gone straight into the terrace. My senses, which had lost their taste for death, must have seen that there was plenty of fresh prey.

The strange standoff lasted for a moment, but then the person right in front of the floor moved. He threw the wine glass he was holding at the hidden floor.

Along with his actions, everyone around him threw their glasses. He reflexively avoided the glasses pouring from all directions and broke them. The red liquid splashing from the broken glasses was not strong wine, but blood.

Clang-

Pavabak-

The moment the blood splashed on the stealth module, the one nearby moved. It reached out and tried to grab it. The action of extending its bare hand was really quick and bold.

Puck- crunch-

Maru struck the cannibal’s outstretched arm with the scabbard in his left hand and turned the bastard’s jaw with his right elbow.

Maru caught the cannibal, who fell down with a dull sound and his jaw turned back, and threw him out onto the terrace.

The cannibal, whose brain shook and collapsed, flew through the air and crashed down. At the same time, the cannibals rushed forward. I could feel their determination to tear me apart with their bare hands if they caught me.

‘Fuck. Still. I left one out.’

There was a cannibal that was thrown away. Yeah.

Srrrrrrrr-

Nuclipse fluttered out of his scabbard like a living fish, looking excited at the sight of the scattered cannibal heads.

“I am a sword.” “I am just a sword.” Where did he throw away the words that had been said? Maru swung the New Clips horizontally as it tried to run wild.

■■■■■■▬▬▬——

Kwajik-kuddeuk-deuk-euhjeok—–

The liberating sword strike created a spectacle of heads disappearing with a strange sound.

?

!!!

As the cannibals who ran in front were turned into headless corpses with one blow, the ones who had been rushing forward retreated as if the video was being played backwards.

Maru tried to jump down from the terrace while the cannibals retreated. Since he had already picked one up and thrown it, he could just take its head off.

Wheeeeeeing-

As I was about to turn around and jump down onto the terrace, the shutter came down. Almost at the same time as I was about to lower the shutter with my new clips, a cannibal came from behind with a knife and stabbed me.

As space became longer, our sense of time began to change.

In a feeling as if he had entered the water, Maru twisted his body towards the cannibal that was stabbing him from behind the shutter.

It was a long time since I felt a sense of time, but it was a situation where I couldn’t help but curse.

‘Fuck.’

If I spread the Garden of Death, I could wipe it out without having to have a seizure like this. Then I had to give up on extracting information from the head. It would all become fertilizer.

The preservation container you’re wearing on your waist will also have its cooling system damaged. The one you threw outside is also a cannibal, so if you don’t go quickly, it’ll quickly regenerate and escape.

The blade that was about to tear the shutter appeared as if it had teleported through space and obliterated the head of the cannibal that was aiming for the floor.

Newclips cleverly changed the angle of the sword he had swung to cut his waist in half to his head.

!!!

The men who had been rushing at me with steak knives and forks in that strange trajectory retreated again. The men who broke the standoff that followed were soldiers with weapons.

“Where are you?”

“There’s a drop of blood!”

“It’s hiding.”

“It’s a ripper suit.”

Heavily armed troops poured in through the elevators and stairwells, guns pointed at them.

“Don’t move!”

“Unhide and drop your weapons!”

“Unhide now!”

“Drop your weapons!”

The laser pointer was aimed at the blood droplets floating in the air. After a brief warning, the soldiers pulled the trigger without hesitation.

Tang- tadadang-

As soon as the gunshot sounded, black vines and sharp blades of grass sprouted from the ground and stopped the bullets.

I caught a glimpse of vines rising faster than my blinking eyelids, wrapping themselves around soldiers holding guns.

Some of the cannibals rubbed their eyes to see if what they had just seen was an illusion. They couldn’t see because the electricity had been cut off for a moment.

The night vision characteristic of cannibals and vampires also needed time to adjust to the sudden loss of consciousness. And that brief moment was enough time for the Garden of Death to unfold.

“It’s Vladimir Kalin!”

“Run away!”

“It’s too late!”

“Fight!”

“Where’s the flamethrower!”

“Throw the flare!”

The cannibals who were not afraid even when their comrades’ heads were erased began to feel uneasy in the darkness. And the garden of death that was eating away at their feet, walls, and ceilings as if savoring their fear.

pop-

The flare exploded and the light swirled around, but what they saw was a space of death where the floor, walls, and ceiling were all blackened.

“oh-”

“oh my god-”

“Shoot!”

Vines and blades of grass poured down from all directions, beginning to envelop the cannibal and the soldiers. A small shadow climbed up the cannibal’s legs through the vines that had shriveled in the flamethrower’s fire.

The female cannibal shook herself to get rid of the black mice climbing up her dress, but more and more mice gathered from nowhere.

“This. Take this off-aaaaah-”

As I tried to remove the black rat stuck to my hair, my hair was pulled out by the roots, but no one was able to help me.

One who is entangled in the vines of death and begins to shrink in an instant. A cannibal who cannot avoid the blades of grass and falls down with his ankles and wrists cut off, slowly turning into fertilizer. And even the sight of being eaten alive by black rats.

A woman with her hair pulled out in clumps throws herself into the flames that shoot out from the flamethrower as she sees this. And she becomes a cannibal, cursing her own body and death that does not die easily.

Gyaaaaaaah!

Ughhhhhhhhh!

Amidst the long screams and sighs, the sound of burning vines and blades of grass could be heard. The sound of sharp heels trampling a black rat reached the floor.

Crack, crack, crack – Crack, crack –

Hurrrrrrrrr—-

The dripping blood was not absorbed into the garden of death, but flowed down like oil.

The flames that rose up as the drops of blood burned brightly seemed to be burning life itself.

Unrealistic vines and blades of grass swirled as if against a surreal combustion. Shriveled, burning, and dying figures tangled together and approached.

Knock knock knock-

The sound of approaching with a steady gait.

It was a vampire.

That too, top-level.

There was a guy who controlled blood, and now there was a girl who burned blood as fuel.

Did you light it before death absorbed it?

The vines that rose from the tip of the floor pulled out more than forty daggers. The blades of the vines, fluttering like wings, cast shadows against the backdrop of the blazing flames.

[······.]

“······.”

The sound of footsteps stopped. A woman in a gorgeous crimson dress and four others following her stood in front of the floor.

As the deaths unfold, the stealth function has long since been disabled. The hotel’s electricity has been cut off, and communications are also cut off for both sides.

[······.]

“······.”

The Garden of Death sent out black vines, blades of grass, and shadow rats to drive away the cannibals.

“Pierce through. Pierce through the wall.”

“The firepower isn’t working!”

“There’s something black covering the wall.”

“Strength… I’m out of strength.”

“Don’t touch it with your bare hands.”

“It’s a vine. A vine is sprouting from that black wall!”

“Shoot. If you keep shooting, the vines and grass will disappear!”

The sound of desperately fighting against death rang out like background music. The one who ended the confrontation that followed was a woman who had lit the flame of life.

“I didn’t know you would come here in person.”

[······.]

The woman, with a look of surprise on her face, continued speaking.

“I won’t ask how you found this place, but are you confident that you’ll make it this far? Are you confident that you’ll make it back alive?”

[···Is that all you want to say?]

Despite Maru’s firm voice, the woman continued talking calmly.

“It’s true that you hate us, the new humans. But you’re a new human too, aren’t you?”

[···I don’t eat humans.]

“Ah- I don’t eat people either. I just need a little blood. Strictly speaking, we don’t kill humans. Rather, we should protect them.”

[······.]

This year, she was talking for a long time about how she sees humans as prey.

“I hope there is no misunderstanding. If you think of it as donating blood, it is something that both humans and new humans can understand.”

[···Then what is a cannibal?]

“That desire for human flesh is a side effect. Research is currently underway to relieve the urge for human flesh, so please think of it as a side effect of evolution.”

[······.]

If I had charged up Death enough, I could have pushed it away in an instant. But since there were high-level cannibals and vampires, it was taking a while to absorb them.

The woman said what she thought of Maru’s silence.

“I know a little about you. I know that you hate the new humans. But if we both take a step back, wouldn’t we be able to have a conversation? Even if we kill everyone here, it’s not like there’s any meaningful result.”

[······.]

Of course, they knew that they were clearing out armed refugees in Korea.

Killing them all doesn’t mean anything?

It was said that this island was one of their many strongholds.

So, you need a head.

It seemed like this year’s head would be full of the information I needed.

As if sensing a slight change in the atmosphere on the floor, the woman fanned the flame. The excited droplets of blood on the floor began to burn fiercely.

“If we continue to fight like this, risking our lives, there’s no guarantee of a result. Do you want to see the end?”

[What are we talking about?]

It wasn’t a bad idea to stall for time. The crow squad that had annihilated the flock of seagulls would slowly head here.

“Let me say this again. We are not trying to kill humanity. Rather, we are trying to preserve humanity.”

[······.]

The woman’s serious expression was revealed through the blazing flames.

“The Earth was headed toward extinction. We used various methods to prevent it. At first, we warned about climate change through science, and then we tried to come up with countermeasures through politics.”

But mankind valued the present more than the future, and the majority did not listen to the warnings of the minority.
