Rust [RUST] – Episode 1067

Maru went to the scene that Naruzu had organized in person to check it out.

[Oraburning is coming in person!]

[Woooooooooooo-]

[Ora ora ora—]

[It’s been a while since we’ve seen each other, so let’s all get ready.]

[What are you preparing?]

[There are victory ceremonies, and welcome ceremonies. Anything can be done.]

[Okay. Since we’re going to do it, let’s do it right.]

[Is that okay?]

[We have achieved great success, so why can’t it be done?]

There was almost a festival following the enthusiastic welcome ceremony, but Naruzu, who had a keen sense that Maru’s judgment was not good, secretly omitted everything.

“You said they were a criminal force? The information extracted from them was…”

[I’ve collected them over there!]

It was Naruzu who showed off his military discipline.

‘hmm···.’

He was wearing full combat gear, including a helmet, and was fully prepared to use the Ripper suit or the core armor at any time. Maru’s expression slightly relaxed as he glanced at Naruzu’s readiness.

[Did you see it?]

[I saw it.]

[Is your face clearer now?]

[Oh. The corners of my lips went up slightly.]

[Hey. I told you it was good that you prepared.]

[I know.]

The Naruzu network is heating up like a bonfire.

[Everyone calm down.]

[Okay. Let’s go on vacation at this rate.]

[Okay, everyone, fighting!]

[Don’t forget to deal with the criminals.]

Naruz, who had roughly summarized the local broadcasts that were ringing in his head, continued reporting the situation.

[A force comprised of criminals controls most of the Northern Territory.]

It was explained that the force was a coalition of seven organizations with three main strongholds.

[The group was armed with Australian military gear and was comprised of corrupt military and police officers, along with gangs, drug dealers, smugglers and escaped criminals.]

[The base attack operation involved a carpet bombing by the crow bombing unit, followed by the introduction of the ant army and rat unit to destroy the defense line and attack the underground bunker···.]

By pushing in swarms of ants and rats, the enemy’s electronic devices, armored vehicles, and advanced weapons were disabled. In places where the resistance of the ability users was fierce, Naruzu was dispatched to eliminate them.

Although there was some damage from ants and rats, the operation was a complete success, with only minor injuries and no casualties.

Maru checked the data that Naruz extracted and organized from the brain.

“Give me back all the data.”

[Shall we call a meeting?]

Maru shook his head at the assistant AI’s suggestion.

“Tell him to check first. He’ll talk about the details privately and if necessary, he’ll have a meeting later.”

[Okay, I’ve sent you the information.]

Unlike the upper-class materials that had information about the New World organizations, this one was approached later by a nefarious organization that talked about a new order.

(When the apocalypse ends, a new world will unfold. A world ruled by a new human race.)

It presented a new world and a new order, but the criminal-led forces had no illusions about this new world.

(Whatever the future holds is a problem for later. What we need right now is supplies. Ammunition, medicine, weapons, things like that.)

What the criminal group demanded from the New World forces were essential supplies and the latest weapons. They demanded new batteries, medicine, ammunition, and firearms that could be used for multiple purposes, including exosuits, but there was not enough for anyone.

(They say there are carnivorous plants in Indonesia. And there are immortal monsters that come out of sinkholes. If you bring them to me, I’ll give you supplies and weapons.)

(Give and take is good. But how am I supposed to get to Indonesia? If I could have left this damn town, I would have done so a long time ago.)

(I know that they captured a submarine from the Australian Navy.)

(Ah- That. It’s a rice cake that you can’t eat because there’s no one to drive.)

(Send submarine operating personnel.)

(Okay then. Plant samples and sinkhole monsters? Okay.)

Maru clicked his tongue as he watched the extracted video.

‘There is no stronghold for those seeking a new order.’

(New order? That’s bullshit. We’re creating a new order right now. What? You want me to bow down and come in?)

(Ah- that’s right- you’ve done it before and now you’re going to do it again.)

(Anyway, we’re running low on ammo.)

(If those guys do that, we’ll get our leashes caught. Why not just catch those guys in Darwin instead?)

(You all know that the rich boys have made a fortune through smuggling. If we take them hostage and take control of the smuggling line, won’t the supply problem be over?)

(Yes. If we organize the Darwin airport and the port, we will be able to breathe easier.)

The criminal group decided on a two-track strategy: infiltrate Indonesia to collect samples of carnivorous plants and sinkhole monsters, and then invade Darwin to capture the upper-class kids.

The result was this situation.

‘Even if I hadn’t attacked Darwin, the result would have been the same since I went to Indonesia to get samples of carnivorous plants.’

Maru clicked his tongue.

Tsk-

‘There’s no specific information about the new whatever.’

Stories such as the dismantling of the refugee camp in Darwin, or the fact that more than 80% of the youth detention center inmates are descendants of Australian Aboriginal people.

Information that the Australian military has done more digging than expected and that there is considerable corruption in the military. The relationship between Indonesia and Australia is bad.

There were also reports that the central region was a mess like a Mad Max movie, with gangs and thugs running rampant after the apocalypse, but information on the New World guys was sparse.

‘Hmm- this is.’

‘How to make a mutant monster stronger?’

It was revealed that they started taming mutant monsters by feeding them food. The plan was to make the mutant monsters smarter by feeding them humans, and then make a deal with the smarter mutant monsters.

[I checked the information.]

The first one to contact me was Na Ju-yeon. She criticized the plan to feed people to crocodiles as a piece of garbage.

[Crocodiles are not creatures that can be tamed by giving them food.]

Is that what you meant?

Maru made a strange expression without realizing it.

So, are you saying that it’s okay to feed people as long as they can be tamed?

Na Ju-yeon, noticing the subtlety, protested that it was a misunderstanding.

[Whether human or not, it is not something that can be tamed with food.]

“Why? There are crocodile shows in Thailand, and there are people who keep crocodiles as pets.”

Aren’t there a lot of crocodile shows and snake shows in many Southeast Asian countries? There was even a person raising a crocodile on an animal show.

[No. It is dangerous to think of warm-blooded mammals and cold-blooded reptiles as similar.]

It was a rare, resolute Na Ju-yeon.

[The judgment itself is different. It’s completely different. So the concept of ‘I fed it’ or ‘I became close to it’ doesn’t make sense.]

“then.”

[I fed it. It’s full. There’s no need to eat it until it’s tired. It’s like that.]

“Isn’t that the same for other carnivores?”

[At least they’ll think before they eat it. They’ll probably check to see if there’s another prey.]

“So you’re saying crocodiles don’t do that?”

You’re attacking the person who’s been feeding you? Without a second thought?

[I’m hungry. There’s food right in front of me. Let’s eat. Let’s go like this.]

“If you get smarter, won’t you be able to tell the difference?”

[It would be even more so if they got smarter. They would pretend to be friendly and take food from you, and if you came closer thinking you were friendly, they would catch you and eat you to become stronger.]

“Does that mean you can’t handle crocodiles?”

[I think you’re right. If you’re thinking of taming an alligator, I’d say no.]

“I’m not trying to tame it. The mutant crocodiles here are quite strong…”

It was a strong crocodile that would have been quite difficult to defeat if it had not been buffed by faith. It may have looked easy since it cut off its neck with a single stroke, but it was not an easy one.

Even if you used the space-eating ability unique to Nuclipse on top of the faith buff to make a hole in its head, it didn’t die. It was a creature with such strong vitality that it could only die after its neck was cut off entirely.

“Okay. I’ll send the guy I caught to you, so check him out and contact me right away if you see anything unusual.”

[all right.]

Mr. Kim showed a keen interest in crocodile meat more than anything else.

[That. How big is the crocodile? They say crocodile meat tastes like chicken.]

“It’s nearly 20m in size, so you’ll be able to eat as much as you want.”

Kim Yang’s eyes sparkled at the story that it was bigger than a monster bear.

[Not only the crows, rats, and ants we brought this time, but our children also had a hard time.]

“I know. Have I ever just let a kid I worked hard for pass me by?”

[That’s not it. There are a lot of kids.]

If they are that big, Kim Yang’s eyes say that since he’s already in Australia, he’d like to catch a few more.

“I’ll catch it when it comes out. If a big one comes out.”

[Okay.]

Maru shook his head as he roughly finished organizing the information, looking away from Kim Yang’s eagerly anticipating eyes.

“What do you think? Do you think the other bases that Kim Yang found would have nutritional value?”

[I think it’s similar in other places.]

It was highly likely that all the information on the bases that Kim Yang had found would be similar to what it is now. Ki-sun thought that the Shinsegae organization that had been hiding so well until now would not reveal its tail so easily.

“Then I guess I’ll leave the rest to Ms. Kim and go meet the people who escaped to Korea.”

If it’s Hee-yeon, who leads Kim Yang, the Royal Guard, Naruz, and the U+ unit, she should be able to deal with the remaining 12 places in no time.

This was Maru, who wanted to meet the vampire and cannibal who crossed over from Kyushu to Korea after hitting on Kim Yang.

If the guys who said they would stay in Kyushu until the situation calmed down were to run away, it would be worth asking them why. Above all, there was a high probability that they knew the other guys’ bases.

It would have been better if they had known the bases of those guys who were doing this and that while staying behind like they are now. It didn’t matter if they said no.

[···Are you going to kill me?]

“Even if you caused an accident, a negotiation is still a negotiation.”

I won’t kill you. I won’t kill you.

however.

We need to hold those responsible for creeping in knowing that there was a Holy Kingdom stronghold in Korea. They clearly said that an agreement is an agreement and that if you stand out, you will be punished.

[······.]

Kim Yang, who was given full authority over the Southeast Asia region, immediately went into operation.

Each country protested vehemently against Kim’s declaration that he would indiscriminately attack bases within their own territory, but Kim paid no attention.

You protested that they were destroying the stronghold of some strange guys that you didn’t even know existed in the corner? Did you think they’d give you something if you protested?

doesn’t exist.

no.

Then it breaks down?

huh.

Kim Yang’s response was simple.

[Reconnaissance is over.]

[It has been confirmed that this is a facility independently built by a conglomerate family.]

“I don’t care, just blow it away!”

Elsewhere, there were strongholds connected to the military. It didn’t matter whether the military was being played by them or if they were involved from the beginning.

[The military supplies warehouse has been confirmed.]

“Push everything away.”

[Black Drake-class fleet has arrived.]

[Railgun ready to fire.]

“firing-”

[Main gun fire!]

[Once the shelling ends, we immediately begin bombing.]

[Crow bombing squad ready.]

“sally-”

[The first airstrike of the Crow Bombardment Squadron begins.]

[Strike successful. 2nd bombing party ready to sortie.]

“Let’s go.”

[The second bombing squadron has been dispatched.]

[1st bombing party returns. No crashes. 127 wounded.]

[The air defense network was successfully neutralized, but the capable individuals remained.]

“Ants and rats, descend upon the army.”

[The descent begins.]

[Successful descent.]

“No prisoners. Only heads.”

[Enter the ant colony underground. Start fighting the rat unit enemies.]

[Ant Colony Enemy Bunker Check. Corrosion Resistant.]

[The Rat Engineers arrive at the scene. They begin to blow up the outer wall of the bunker.]

[Mental wave confirmed. Rat unit retreats.]

[Presumed to be a mid- to upper-level cannibal.]

[The ant army charges.]

The forces that had secretly created a military base were swept away by the ants. The places that Naruzu and Heeyeon had attacked also experienced similar situations.

After bombarding with the main gun, they bombed with the crow bombardment squad. After that, they swept the surface and underground with the ant army and the rat army, and the remaining things were picked up by Naruzu and the guards.

In an instant, six locations were reduced to ashes. There were initially 14 strongholds identified, but now only six remain.

Kim Yang, who was full of energy, shouted while extracting information from the heads of the guys who had been turned into bunches of grapes.

“Let’s push it away and eat some special food!”

[Let’s go-]

[I’ll finish it right away.]

Kaaaak!

Squeak! Squeak!

Kikrik kikrik-

It was the Korean government that warmly welcomed Maru upon his arrival in Korea.

“Welcome. Welcome.”

And in one corner of the welcoming ceremony hall, there were people giving off a gloomy, bloody aura.
