RUST -98

Executive Director Choi hid in the darkness and watched Maru’s sword being cut.

The dripping blood and torn flesh made him angry. The loach, which used to swing its sword only out of instinct, fought without fear when it saw a monster, but the fact that he, who was trying to catch the loach, ran away in a panic made his heart ache.

The sight of the monster’s arm being cut off as it stretched out like a tentacle. That clean blow. As if the goby had been a flying fish, the gray-white sword the monster was holding fell to the floor.

‘Fuck. What the fuck.’

The shame of having thrown away the knife and run away. The shame of not knowing that a monster was following him after he escaped on a helicopter. The shame of being stabbed by a slash from a monster that picked up the knife he had thrown away.

I felt like a retard. I’ve lived my whole life holding a knife, but what is this? What is this? What the hell is this? That bastard is fighting, and what am I doing hiding here? Aren’t you a retard who threw away your knife, dropped the detonator, and ran away?

“Fuck. What the f*ck!”

The goby cut off the monster’s arm that had fallen to the ground. A quick and beautiful succession of strikes. A natural swordsmanship without wasting any strength. Director Choi shivered without realizing it.

The actions that followed. At the gesture of the sword tip waving and telling him to come out, Executive Director Choi unconsciously stopped his legs from running away. The fear of the unknown monster was greater than his previous intention. The guy he had said he would kill was fighting so well······.

Executive Director Choi gritted his teeth.

‘Okay. I’ll blow them all away.’

I’ll blow away the goby and the squid all at once.

Drops of blood fell towards the helicopter that had landed outside.

======

======

It felt like something was screaming in the dark.

[■■□■□■■□■□!!!]

It wasn’t a sound, but it felt like it was shot straight into the brain. That thing that was locked in the metal box in the Takaichi Pharmaceuticals lab? Why is it here? They probably incinerated it.

If that’s what it said, that it came in a World Helicopter, that’s ridiculous. If the World kids were in their right mind, they wouldn’t have brought that. Whatever the reason, the fact that it’s here means that it came in a helicopter, so what happened to the helicopter pilot and everyone else?

Click click click

As if responding to the signal Maru sent with the tip of the sword, the sound of dragging began to grow louder. The shape of something slowly revealed itself in the darkness.

[■■■■■■■■!!!]

Four or five people were stuck together, covered in something like black tar.

A grotesque sight, with limbs broken and twisted. One man’s back glued to another’s side, with a twisted head resting on top. A mass of people roughly glued together with black glue swept across the floor.

The black tar contracted and expanded, then a head that had been hanging backwards began to shake. The moment my eyes were drawn to the shaking head, a black tentacle stretched out from the severed arm.

Paat-

Crunch-

The stretching and cutting occurred simultaneously.

A tentacle that flaps its wings as soon as it is cut off and falls to the ground.

Flapping flapping

The tentacles, writhing like an eel emerging from the water, headed toward Maru’s feet. The head, shaking as if waiting for that moment, headed toward Maru’s torso. The mouth gaped open like a snake without a jaw joint.

Maru stabbed the severed tentacles that were fluttering and swooping on the floor with the tip of his knife like skewered rice cakes, and pushed them into the wide-open mouth, cutting them horizontally.

As the sword passed, the lower jaw was cut off with a snap. The tentacle that had been writhing around on the tip of the sword was half-stuck in the throat and torn to pieces.

The cut section bubbled and gurgled, and then the severed tentacles and the head that had been blown off the lower jaw became mixed and attached. It looked like the tentacles were attached to the bottom of the upper head.

“Ah- shi-”

It was a monster that, after being cut several times, moved left and right without attacking recklessly and was checking the liver.

“What the heck, really?”

The lower jaw that had fallen to the floor began to crawl, wriggling like a slug. It was in the direction of the pieces of arm Maru had chopped into pieces.

Swish swish – The lower jaw absorbs the pieces like an amoeba eating food. The way it moved like a snail gradually changed. The lower jaw, which began to move more naturally, began to grow small protrusions like sandworms.

“You see? Get ready quickly!”

======

======

Kim Yang, who was hiding in the optical concealment equipment, unconsciously crouched down at the goosebumps that were rising from her arms and legs.

‘This won’t do.’

It felt like a strange wave was swirling through my brain. I felt dazed for a moment and my body froze. It wasn’t a sound, but a strange sensation that was transmitted directly to my brain. Kim Yang, who had been hitting her stiffening legs, moved to a position where it was easy to back up.

I thought Baekjeong’s body would stiffen, but it was fine.

The sword cuts with a refreshing slicing motion. As expected, it was Baekjeong. However, the monster continued to regenerate even after being cut. It even seemed as if the cut pieces were eating other pieces and ‘evolving?’ ‘changing?’

‘What is that?’

Tentacles sprouted again from the severed spot. The arms changed into tentacles, and the head changed strangely as well. It seemed like something like black tar was gradually eating away at people.

When Baekjeong told her to get ready quickly, Kim Yang wondered what was wrong. Why did he tell her to get ready without clearly telling her what to do?

Ugh- I thought about it, but I couldn’t figure out why Baekjeong was acting like that. Anyway, it was hard to continue like this. Should I just blow it up all at once and then burn it?

Looking at the instructions to prepare, it seems clear that we’re going to blow it up, but the only way to do it is to blow it up with claymore and burn it with aviation fuel. We’ll have to extract fuel from a helicopter and burn it.

Ms. Kim cautiously headed toward the empty lot where the helicopter was.

‘Huh? Is that Executive Director Choi?’

There was Executive Director Choi quietly walking in the direction of the helicopter.

Executive Director Choi, who went on a helicopter, appears to be looking for something.

‘What are you looking for?’

Executive Director Choi, bleeding profusely, rummaged through the helicopter seats and dug through the floor. Ms. Kim quietly walked behind Executive Director Choi. Executive Director Choi, who was struggling because he couldn’t reach his arms, grabbed something and laughed like a madman.

“Kuhahahahaha. I’ll kill you all!”

What Executive Director Choi was holding in his hand was a wireless detonator.

I don’t know who they’re going to kill, but I had to deal with the detonator first. As Yang Kim carefully aimed her gun at Executive Director Choi, Executive Director Choi pulled out a dagger from his waistband and threw it at her as she was thrown out of the helicopter.

Snap!

Kim Yang, trained in Baekjeong’s speed, reflexively dodged the dagger. The distance was too close, so one side of the optical cloaking robe broke and the dagger flew out. The trigger was pulled at the same time the dagger flew toward her.

Click! Crack!

As soon as he threw the dagger, Executive Director Choi, who had been lying down to avoid the bullet, threw a grenade that he had taken with him at some point.

Thud- Degururur

A grenade that rolled towards a stained space with its stealth function slightly broken.

‘Net- three-‘

From the moment she saw Executive Director Choi detonate the grenade, Ms. Kim counted the numbers and kicked the rolling grenade back at her.

“What the fuck!”

Executive Director Choi, startled by the return of the grenade, jumped up like a frog.

‘one-‘

bang!!

Ugh!

The helicopter door was turned into a rag by the grenade fragments. Executive Director Choi, who had jumped but was unable to completely avoid the blast, stumbled.

Thump! Thump!

Let’s put one shot in the wrist holding the detonator, and one shot in the knee. Executive Director Choi rolled around, making a groan. Ms. Kim picked up the detonator that Executive Director Choi had dropped, and stepped back slightly, saying,

“What kind of detonator is this?”

“who is this!”

Two clicks!

evil!

Executive Director Choi, with a bullet lodged in his ankle, looked into the slightly shattered, rippling space.

“If you don’t answer, I’ll keep shooting.”

“Fuck! Are you Miss Kim?”

Fight!

“Ah! Argh! Stop shooting, you fucking bitch!”

“···What kind of detonator is this?”

Executive Director Choi said, gritting his teeth.

“Are you going to take care of the aftermath? Don’t you know we signed a truce? You fucking knew and you’re still doing this? Huh?”

Swish- A muzzle with a silencer popped out from the cracked area. Executive Director Choi screamed as he saw the muzzle that had been pointed at his ankle turn to the other ankle.

“Suicide vest. Suicide vest. It’s a detonator!”

“Suicide vest? Where? Who?”

“Fuck.” Executive Director Choi muttered softly and nodded his head toward where Maru and the monster were fighting.

Kim Yang’s eyes turned towards the monster.

A tangled group of 4~5 people. They were wearing vests that looked like bulletproof vests. Wasn’t it a bulletproof vest? Wasn’t it a suicide vest? Did they make the employees wear suicide vests? Why? At that moment, Executive Director Choi’s hands went down to his waist.

Openwork. Click.

Almost simultaneously, bullets were fired into Vice President Choi’s forehead and neck. His arm holding the gun rose and fell backwards, and his pupils slowly dilated.

Chijik- The broken part of the optical covert robe began to ripple and distort repeatedly. It seemed that the part that had been hit by the dagger had broken. Kim Yang clicked her tongue as she kicked the hanging leg of Executive Director Choi loudly.

‘My item. My item···.’

Knock knock! Knock knock!

I punched Executive Director Choi’s body twice to vent my anger, but I still felt uneasy. When I looked inside, I saw that the Baekjeong and the monster had already had a fight, and were keeping each other in check.

“out!!!”

As if Kim Yang’s voice was a signal, the Baekjeong and the monster extended their swords and tentacles toward each other.

======

======

‘This is tough.’

The tentacles were getting tougher and tougher, either because they were becoming resistant to the blade or because they were evolving. I don’t know where they got this monster or synthesized it, but Maru didn’t even want to take a shit on this side.

“Ah- Shh-”

Even movements that become increasingly sophisticated.

The tentacles that had begun to respond slightly to the quick slashes of the sword were growing longer one by one. At first, only one or two tentacles could move with difficulty, but now three or four tentacles were moving freely.

Miss Kim told me to come out, so I said I was ready.

Whirlyrick

Two tentacles shoot out like javelins, one that comes down as if to wrap around your legs, and one that blocks you from dodging to the right.

Tadak- bang!-

The tentacle stinger, which had hardened at the end, flowed out, and Maru, who had cut the right tentacle as if tearing it, fell backwards. As it moved away by nearly 10m in an instant, the main body howled.

[■■■■■■■■!!!]

“No. Why the fuck are you telling me that? Did I do it? Did I do it?”

[■■!!!]

“You die!”

[■■■!!!]

“Get back, get down!”

Kim Yang pressed the detonator, shouting.

As Maru distanced himself from the monster, a loud noise erupted. The monster’s body was shattered by the bloody explosion. Sloppy black clumps of blood and flesh stained the walls, ceiling, and floor.

“Ah- shit- really.”

Considering the monster’s regenerative abilities, it was clear that the rapid cure had something to do with the monster. A combination of a virus and a monster, whether it was a rapid cure or a madman, it was truly madness.

‘Is this treatment any good? Oh. It really makes me feel uneasy.’

The stain on the ceiling fell off with a thud, and began to grow in size as it absorbed the pieces on the floor.

“Wow- what is this, really. Really- tough- tough. This is really.”

Kim Yang sprinkled the oil he had pulled out of the helicopter over the stains and lumps. The lumps trembled and writhed as they touched the oil and became soaked.

“This kid seems to know what oil tastes like. He’s acting like a total idiot.”

Maru picked up a gray-white sword that had fallen on the floor. Of the five swords he had brought, four had been blown away while fighting monsters. In that short period of time, the swords had broken, the blades had gone out, and they had become a mess in an instant. Still, he had gotten a sword that looked good, so wasn’t it a total loss?

Ting- A faint smile appeared on Maru’s lips as he flicked the blade with his finger, but Kim Yang poured oil here and there and signaled, “What are you doing? Bring me more oil.”

“Some oil.”

“Yeah. Okay.”

It felt good. Maru grabbed his new knife and headed towards the helicopter, the door of which was tattered by grenade fragments.

‘Hey? Why is this old man here?’

Maru, who saw Executive Director Choi’s body, looked at Ms. Kim, who was diligently spreading oil.

Judging from the bullet holes here and there, it looks like she bumped into Ms. Kim. You’ve grown a lot, Ms. Kim. She’s not an easy woman. She must have started off by making a save, since she has a stealth item, right?

‘Huh? This knife. Is it yours?’

The sound was good, and it looked like a specially processed blade. There was no way a regular employee would use this kind of knife, and it seemed like an old man’s knife. It would have been disadvantageous for the person wielding it to not have his own knife. But why was this knife being held by a monster? No way? Well, if it’s an old man’s knife, I can trust it. The old man’s knife I used before was good too.

‘Where was the fuel tank?’

Maru, who was inspecting the area near the helicopter’s fuel tank, stabbed the gray-white blade into the helicopter.

======

======

Crackle- crackle-

Kim Yang, who was diligently pouring oil, turned around at the sound of metal cracking.

‘No. I told you to drain the oil···.’

Why are you turning the helicopter around?
