RUST -96

Miss Kim somehow wanted to see the sky.

When I looked up, the dark sky was smiling. So it’s dark even when I raise my head. Where on earth did you know this was and why did you just say let’s tear it apart? I’ll give you a hundred concessions and let’s tear it apart, but if we were riding together in a helicopter and got off in the middle, would it have been a big problem? Huh?

“What are you dissatisfied with?”

“······.”

I’m not satisfied with walking like crazy, and I’m not satisfied with getting hit because of you doing whatever you want. I’m just not satisfied with my life. So stop nagging me.

“So how long does it take to get to the Yakuza building?”

“Just keep walking and it will come out.”

Shut up and walk!

If you need to go to the downtown area of ​​Tokyo, it’s about 10-12 subway stops from near Tokyo Port, so you only need to walk about 20-25km. You’ll get there after walking for 5-6 hours. It’s all Baekjeong’s fault. If you go by helicopter, it won’t even take 10 minutes…

‘heaviness.’

‘It’s so heavy.’

Fortunately, the weight of the grenades and flashbang grenades was reduced.

Maru was walking while thinking of the sealed metal box.

[···help···]

[···Please save me···]

A sound that sticks directly in your mind.

If the ability to transmit thoughts directly to the brain without going through the ears is called telepathy, then it was definitely telepathy. It was telepathy that somehow seemed harmless… and gave the feeling that I had to help.

That was the problem. If it wasn’t really dangerous, they wouldn’t have put up all these no-trespassing or dangerous signs. Why did they seal it so tightly that no one could see it?

It’s not like they couldn’t communicate with each other, so why would they say that being able to communicate through telepathy was dangerous? Why would they lock them in a metal box like that?

Maru thought simply and made quick decisions. And the wheels helped him make those decisions. He used the wheels as an excuse to burn down the entire research lab.

‘Could he be dead?’

The incinerator must have been a device to destroy evidence, so they must have burned everything. In fact, what does it matter whether they are alive or dead? Maru walked with ease. But how long must he walk?

“How much further do I have to walk?”

“···A long time. A long time···.”

“If it takes too long, let’s take a break over there.”

Although there were ruins everywhere, there were quite a few buildings along the road that had not collapsed.

======

======

Dawn. The sky has brightened slightly.

Two helicopters were flying over the ruins of Tokyo. As the day brightened, the city appeared. It looked like it had been bombed. In some areas, the fires in residential areas spread in all directions, making it look like a forest fire.

‘It’s over.’

Executive Director Choi wiped his sword, which was shining with a grayish white color, and thought. If it had been scorched to this extent, it would be difficult to rebuild. The entire infrastructure would have to be rebuilt, but even if the reconstruction was successful, what if another earthquake or tsunami occurred?

[Chi- 3 o’clock direction! Check the 3 o’clock direction!]

Executive Director Choi checked the 3 o’clock direction through the window. Something like dark clouds were gathering in the distance.

“What is that?”

As Executive Director Choi muttered, the employee sitting next to him handed him a pair of binoculars. It was a bit far away so it wasn’t clear, but it looked like a bird.

“Crows? A flock of crows.”

[I’ve never heard of crows flocking like that.]

The employees also looked at the flock of crows flying around in a strange manner. After looking at the black clouds through binoculars for a while, Executive Director Choi suddenly shouted.

“Raise the altitude!”

[yes?]

“Raise altitude now! Right now!”

[Okay, let’s raise the altitude.]

The helicopter tilted and flew high. The helicopter following it was confused, then received the radio transmission and began to increase its altitude after it, but it was too late.

Kaaaak

Kkakkaaak

A swarm of crows swarmed the helicopter, which had barely managed to gain altitude. The helicopter’s propellers ground up hundreds of crows, but they paid no attention and continued to cling to the helicopter.

The helicopter crashed in an instant. The screams from the helicopter buried in a flock of crows filled the communication line.

[Eww]

[Save me!!!]

Kuung-

Crows clinging black to a crashed helicopter.

‘What is that…’

‘Did the crows eat the radiation and fly around in a group?’

‘Have you ever seen anything like that?’

The staff who had increased their altitude to avoid the crows were quietly murmured. Executive Director Choi looked at the crash site with binoculars. He saw survivors coming out of the helicopter and being eaten alive by crows.

‘This is also···.’

Executive Director Choi couldn’t believe what he was seeing.

A crow attacks a living person, not a corpse? I’ve heard stories of magpies or crows hitting a person on the head and running away, but I’ve never heard or seen them eating a living person. The helicopter was as quiet as a mouse at the shocking sight.

[Now, soon, near Takaichi Pharmaceutical.]

“No contact from Charlotte?”

No one mentioned the crashed helicopter, not even Executive Director Choi.

[Yes, there was nothing except that I was told that communication with the Tokyo line was cut off.]

“Ha- really- it’s frustrating.”

How did this happen? If the communication was cut off, what was the unit price? If you decided to provide support, shouldn’t you provide support by any means possible?

“I’m about to start work now, so tell them to use whatever method they have to supplement my manpower.”

[Okay, then let’s land.]

The Takaichi Pharmaceutical headquarters building was so badly damaged by the earthquake that helicopters could not land on it. Helicopters that circled the area landed on a lower building.

======

======

When I closed my eyes for a moment, I saw that Ms. Kim was a little tired. Why did Baekjeong tell her to rest? If Baekjeong had enough energy, she could have kept going. No, no. Ms. Kim shook her head.

‘That’s a butcher. That’s a butcher.’

My heart became kinder and my soul became peaceful. While I was playing the Baekjeong, I saw a helicopter flying far away in the dark sky. It was in the direction I had just walked. So, it was in the direction of Takaichi Pharmaceutical? Kim Yang stretched out her leg and poked Maru’s butt with the tip of her toe.

‘oh-‘

Maru jumped up as if he had been shocked, pulled out his sword, looked around, and looked at Ms. Kim with a face that said, ‘Why did you wake me up?’

‘Over there. Is that Shuking?’

Maru shook his head after seeing Kim Yang’s gaze.

‘No, why?’

‘What if a helicopter takes off on the way back there? Will I have to trudge back here?’

But it’s a helicopter?

“I don’t think it’s possible to drive a car because the roads are a mess. I saw it coming up earlier, and there was a bicycle down here. Let’s take that.”

If that’s the case, then yes.

Ms. Kim nodded.

======

======

Takaichi headquarters building.

People were checking their weapons in front of the elevator leading down to the underground laboratory.

“What about Charlotte’s kids?”

“I got a call that they will be arriving soon.”

“How many people?”

“There are four. Ah- that person over there is the security chief.”

Only 4 people? Not even 10? Executive Director Choi’s face hardened. Adding 4 more people would barely make 10, but it seemed difficult to catch him with this number of people. At least 40~50 people were needed to weaken the guy. It would be dangerous if we ran into him like this.

“Is everyone wearing a vest?”

The employees’ expressions darkened at Executive Director Choi’s words.

“Why aren’t you answering? Are you all wearing them?”

“yes.”

At the word “Kkabora”, the employees each showed me the vests they were wearing. There were things that looked like square rice cakes hanging from the vests.

“Okay. You know what I mean?”

“···yes.”

“Open the elevator.”

WING- The elevator opens with a low sound. HOOK- Hot air gushes out from inside the elevator.

rustling-

Thud-thud-thud

Wheels the size of a palm fell through the gap in the elevator battlefield. As soon as they came out, they dropped their burr-like eggs.

Kwajik-

Executive Director Choi stomped on the wheel and the eggshell at the same time. What is this? Why is the wheel so big? And why is the elevator so hot?

“It looks like the emergency incinerator has been activated.”

The person who said he was the head of security said.

“Incinerator?”

“Yes. I guess it’s a secret laboratory···.”

Executive Director Choi also knew. He did the same thing at the sales office that Manager Hong was running. So, is it too late? That Charlotte Hotel girl ate and ran away first?

“Are you going out?”

“Ah- If I see the elevator moving, the incinerator must have just started up.”

“so?”

“If you input the code, we can stop the incineration process and turn on the fire extinguisher. It may be too late for the server room, but the emergency servers and the core facilities may still be okay.”

“Okay. That’s great. Can you do it?”

“It’s possible if you know the code. I took care of the security of this facility.”

Will things work out? Executive Director Choi nodded and handed the radio to the security manager. The security manager talked about this and that with the head office and then started operating the elevator.

A moment later, a panel suddenly popped up on the information desk. The security chief entered a code into the emergency panel and continued to enter something else, then handed the radio back to Executive Director Choi.

“It’s done. The incineration process has been halted and is currently being extinguished. You just need to wait a moment for the heat to dissipate. I checked and the general labs, quarters, mess hall, break room, control room, and server room are late, but the secret lab and emergency server room are more than half saved.”

“Okay. Let’s go.”

The heat will cool down as the elevator goes down.

Crispy-

Kwajik-

It was employees boarding a large elevator with the sound of steps hitting the floor.

“Has everyone checked their weapons?”

“yes.”

“There’s no particular danger since the incineration process is in progress, but please be alert and avoid any accidental shooting.”

“yes!”

Weeeeeing- The elevator began to descend with a low sound.

A space where heat and cold mixed, as if it had been rapidly extinguished by gas. There were traces of burning everywhere. Half-charred corpses and crispy-fried cockroaches were strewn everywhere.

“Why are there so many wheels?”

“You just burned it even though there were people there?”

“She’s crazy.”

“Wow, this is really.”

The employees each commented at the horrifying sight.

“Has everyone checked the map? Let’s go over everything in pairs, and if there’s anything that seems important, we’ll sweep it all away.”

Executive Director Choi, who had sent his staff, pulled out a gray-white knife and stabbed the half-burned corpse. It felt hard, perhaps because the flesh was cooked. After repeating the stabbing and cutting motion several times, Executive Director Choi examined the blade and smiled with satisfaction. It was definitely much better than the knife he had used last time.

The sword I used before was good, but this sword made of new materials was on a whole other level. With this sword, I could kill that guy.

[Chi-jik – Managing Director Choi – There’s something strange here. You should come and see.]

“somewhere?”

[This is Laboratory A-1.]

“Go now.”

From a transparent glass room to a room with iron bars, from a room with iron bars to a completely closed room on all sides, and finally a metal box at the end. It was discolored and mottled due to the high temperature of the flames, as if it had been incinerated.

“What’s strange?”

“I can hear something in here.”

“sound?”

Executive Director Choi approached the metal box. For a moment, a feeling of confusion swept through his brain. An inexplicable meaning shook his head.

[···■■■!,■■!,■■■■■!!!]

Huh-

“What is this?”

Is it hate?

It wasn’t just hatred. It was a mixture of anger, murderous intent, and longing. Executive Director Choi shook his head and stepped back. ‘What is this?’ Executive Director Choi frowned.

“What are you doing there?”

One of the employees stretched his arm toward the metal box with a blank expression.

“Hey! Over there! Stop!”

Executive Director Choi pulled out his sword and shouted. Then, an employee next to him clung to Executive Director Choi’s arm. Executive Director Choi reflexively punched the employee in the face.

Bang – In one blow, my nose collapsed and a nosebleed started.

“Not letting go?”

Pok- pok- bang-

An employee who bites the arm of Managing Director Choi and hangs on to him while being punched and elbowed. Even though his face is covered in blood, the employee’s expressionless face begins to change. The corners of his mouth are split long. His expression changes into a strange smile.

“This kid!”

An eerie feeling. At the sharp feeling, Executive Director Choi glanced around. The employee who had reached out to the metal box was squirming. There was a cracking sound of bones breaking, and his arm was slowly being sucked into the metal box.

Executive Director Choi let go of the knife he was holding. He hit the knife that fell with his foot and caught it with his left hand, then stabbed the employee hanging on his right arm into his neck.

‘You still won’t let go?’

The employee clung to Executive Director Choi with an increasingly stronger grip, even though a knife was stuck in his neck. His fingertips dug into Executive Director Choi’s muscles little by little. It was as if he was burning his life away and trying to tear off his arm.

“Fuck!”

Boo-wook – Executive Director Choi swore as he used a knife as a lever to cut the employee’s throat.
