RUST -145 (Revised)

That’s how the incident known as the LA Incident ended.

[···With the number of deaths of gang and cartel members currently counted exceeding 300.]

[The number of homeless people, poor people, and illegal immigrants who attacked the military and police while addicted to new drugs was also revealed to be close to 2,500.]

[···The number of deaths is said to be 3,000?]

[Yes. It is said that the situation was such that people under the influence of drugs attacked without caring about their injuries and there was no choice but to shoot them to death. This is a video taken by the California National Guard. Let’s watch it together.]

People with bloodshot eyes were running with knives and fire axes. The National Guard shot at their legs and arms, but they ignored them and continued to run. It was a video that barely stopped them after a volley of shots were fired at the people who were running madly, even though they had been hit several times in the torso.

[There are claims that civilian casualties occurred due to the Japanese gunfire. What happened?]

[Unfortunately, it has been revealed that civilians who were with the drug addicts were killed.]

[Why were you with drug addicts?]

[There are several claims, but two main claims are sharply opposed. One is that they are drug suppliers, and the other is that they are family members who came out to stop drug addicts.]

[··· Operations Commander Sam Bradley··· stated that he takes responsibility for the civilian casualties]

[The California National Guard and police announced that they will strengthen armed patrols, sparking controversy.]

Criminal organizations with strongholds nearby were also swept away at once, and downtown LA was instantly transformed into a drug-free zone.

Nearby organizations that took advantage of the gap tried to expand their influence, but were met with strong responses from the police, whose venom had become increasingly potent, and the National Guard, which remained to maintain order.

Unarmed poor people are seen protecting the gangs. Starting with the video of the gangs blowing themselves up, there were reports that the people who helped the poor people were gangs and that the source of their support came from the drug trade. There was even evidence that the poor people were used as drug dealers.

In the end, the poor tried to break through the California National Guard blockade, and then the gangs were filmed shooting at the National Guard. It was revealed that the poor who protected the gangs and cartels during the LA incident were not just poor people, but accomplices of the gangs and cartels.

The media and broadcasting companies that have been pushing the military and police’s harsh suppression and violent suppression theory have been intentionally trying to avoid the issue, but they could not ignore the evidence that the two intelligence agencies were colluding to spread forever.

As one station aired a special program, other stations began to broadcast it one by one. As a result, the organized crime groups that had been hiding behind the poor and refugees in the western and southern regions of the United States disappeared.

Rabbit Broadcasting Station.

“It’s clear that either Virginia or Homeland Security is trying to water down our station.”

“Trying to manipulate public opinion? How shameless is that?”

“It’s like the poor and refugees are supporting the gangs…”

“The same goes for the poor. Shouldn’t they first reflect on why they became addicted to drugs and became the lackeys of gangs?”

“Everyone calm down. What happened to that? The government is hiding something.”

“First, let’s watch the tip-off video.”

Underground sewer. A line of after-treatment crews moving along a dark underground sewer. And here and there, there were bodies cut into pieces.

“Stop for a second. Over there.”

A corpse with its upper and lower bodies separated. There was a body that was cut up as if it had been sliced ​​with a giant log-cutting machine.

“Did you send down some kind of cutting robot?”

I was reminded of the drill robots used to clear clogged drains. What if instead of a drill, they had a horizontal rotating saw blade that they pushed in? They could cut horizontally like that.

The canal was blocked on all sides, so they couldn’t avoid it and just got cut down. If they could reveal that they sent down a killing machine and cut down everything in its path, the state or federal government would pay properly.

“The clean cross-section shows that it was not cut with a rotary saw or electric saw.”

“Then what is that?”

“···Well, one thing that’s certain is that it’s not something like a circular saw or a chainsaw.”

“Keep turning it.”

The paused video continued. There was a small open space with several waterways, and there were bodies of the strike team wearing bulletproof vests, and the corpses of the homeless and the poor. They were all messed up, as if they had stabbed and stabbed each other until they died.

In particular, the bodies of the strike team members were stuffed with knives, axes, sharpened iron bars, and iron pipes. When the people cleaning up the scene approached to collect the bodies of the strike team members, they were captured in a picture with their eyes wide open and dead.

“Stop. Stop!”

A dead figure with eyes that were wide open and bloodshot around the whites of the eyes.

“Keep turning.”

Next came a scene of collecting dead homeless people and the poor.

“Stop. Zoom in on that face there.”

The homeless man’s face. And his red, bloodshot eyes. The poor man’s eyes were the same. They were red, bloodshot eyes.

“Video of the National Guard firing in unison. Bring that and show it to me.”

A video began showing addicts running towards the blockade with knives, axes and metal pipes.

“Zoom in there. Zoom in on the eye area.”

As we zoomed in on the thugs running towards the main force, their bloodshot red eyes stood out.

“How should I interpret this now?”

“···So you’re saying that you gave the strike force a narcotic combat stimulant?”

“This is big. They’re giving drugs to the troops that were sent in to take down the cartels. If we can prove this, we can replace the governor and the mayor.”

“It’s difficult. Sam Bradley said he took full responsibility, so it’s probably safe to say that this was also his directive.”

It started to get noisy and noisy.

“Everyone, be quiet… This might relieve some of the power, but it’ll be difficult to replace it. Keep the video going with the groundwater.”

As we went further inside, past the tangled corpses of the battalion, the homeless, and the poor, the space widened. And the floor was filled with corpses. Everywhere the light shone, there were corpses.

The scene was so gruesome that those who came to collect the bodies were unable to bear it and vomited, and some even ran outside. Corpses were strewn all over the floor, leaving no room to step.

“HOLLY···”

“JESUS···”

“Oh My···”

The bloodbath stands out even more as the tactical lights scattered in all directions illuminate it. If this isn’t a scene of massacre, then what is?

You said you couldn’t help it because they attacked you on drugs? Even if all the dead people were drug addicts, would you be able to say something like that after seeing these mutilated corpses?

“···But it’s strange.”

“Wh- What?”

“There are corpses of homeless people and poor people everywhere, but no bodies of strike forces or soldiers are visible.”

“Try that part again.”

It was definitely so. In the footage from earlier, the bodies of the strike team and the corpses of the drug dealers were all tangled together, but here, there were no bodies that looked like the strike team. At first glance, there were no people in military uniforms among the hundreds of corpses.

“Wait a minute, there’s a wall there. A mark on the wall.”

A long horizontal mark was drawn on one wall. It was a mark of something sharp scratching past. Beneath the mark, there were corpses with their waists cut off in a circle. It looked as if they had been cut off while trying to wrap something around it.

“First of all, everyone keep your mouths shut. I don’t think we can go into this half-heartedly.”

Everyone gathered nodded.

The footage of the strike team and the drug dealers fighting each other was realistic. It was understandable that four members of the strike team used narcotic combat stimulants to fight dozens of drug dealers.

But what is this now?

A space filled with mutilated corpses, traces that defied common sense. Even if someone insisted that it was computer graphics, I didn’t have the confidence to accept it as fact and not graphics. It was such an unrealistic sight.

“Ask the informant if he can get more information about it, no matter how much money you have. If you can get it, get it.”

A black van parked across the street from the Rabbit Broadcasting Station.

The fingers of the hooded man were frantically tapping away at the keyboard.

“Fuck. What the fuck.”

Can’t you control information properly?

There is a limit to backstabbing. What kind of behavior is this?

Well, it was the same during 9/11. They didn’t even try to control information, they just got caught using computer graphics and ended up exploding conspiracy theories.

What if Virginia doesn’t catch the guy who leaked the information?

No, this is really weird.

Is this on purpose? Are you trying to fool me?

I could understand if Virginia was being a jerk. But why did she do this when she was there? She would be free after this was over, but if things kept breaking out like this, I didn’t know how long I would have to keep patching things up.

“Tell them all to get screwed.”

If I just delete it, there’ll be chaos. Who cares if we kill each other or tear each other apart? First, I’ll delete all the videos. Since the Homeland Security staff connected it to the broadcasting station’s intranet, it’s my turn now.

All storage devices connected to the server were destroyed at once, causing irreparable damage and spreading viruses on top of that. If you try to recover the video, it will just burst into viruses.

“I’ve processed all the leaked material that went into the broadcasting station. The informant’s information was not on the server, but I have call records, so I’ll send them to you.”

[Send it right now.]

“Yes. I just sent it. So is that it?

[···It ain’t over until it’s over.]

“Ha- Okay, I understand.”

[There are rumors that the leaked footage was also uploaded to Wolf TV, so check it out right away.]

“How can that not be controlled before it leaks?”

[···Just do your job properly.]

Stop-

“Hey. Fuck. It’s dirty.”

But who are these guys? As I tracked down the information, I found four people who were naturalized in Japan. One of them was a navigator or a captain, a guy who looked like he was wielding a sword, a gun-wielding woman, and a female nurse. The one who pulled the boat went with the rescue team dispatched to Japan.

And the remaining three. At first, there was a trace of management in Virginia. But then they got involved with gangs and cartels, and created a bloodbath. Then they moved to the Department of Homeland Security and settled in Detroit.

Oh my, the Rust Belt. Detroit, the place where you send your disobedient employees if you want to get rid of them.

I went to Detroit, famous for the meme where people were dragged away while saying, “Please, I was wrong. I’ll do better next time. Not Detroit. Please.” Then, all of a sudden, I found a 25-story building.

Tadadak

Something was being plastered on the 25-story building. The cost was being paid by Virginia, and the construction was being done by the Department of Homeland Security.

With the sound of keyboard keystrokes, documents flashed across the monitor.

[Solar Film Installation Quotation]

[Solar hot water system]

[Smart Farm System]

······

[Oil storage]

[Water purification system]

[Water supply system]

······

······

[Cold storage]

[Air purification system]

······

[Automatic Defense System]

What is this? They say it’s a building remodel, but it looks like they’re building a fortress. And a fortress that can survive independently.

They were preparing to produce their own electricity. They were even constructing a separate water supply facility. If necessary, they could draw water from the Detroit River flowing in front.

It wasn’t just a fortress. So it was like…

‘Preparing for the Apocalypse?’

It wasn’t about preparing for a natural disaster. If it was, it would have been located in a geologically stable place. Then what’s the fuss about in the city?

That wasn’t all. Footage obtained from the broadcasting station. Footage overflowing with corpses. I don’t know how they made it, but the very fact that they made it was beyond common sense.

The fingers of the person wearing the hood began to move busily again.

Jaw- Jaw-

Ms. Kim, who was breathing heavily, clutched her chest.

I couldn’t breathe… I was suffocating.

Maru stopped walking when he saw Kim Yang turning pale.

“Why? Should we go and rest for a bit?”

Dori Dori. Ms. Kim shook her head desperately.

I had to go quickly. Hurry up, hurry up.

One step at a time with wide-open eyes. Each step was fierce.

‘Really stubborn···’

Some of the gold and cash that had been in the cartel headquarters had been smuggled out in several bags. They were on their way back after finding them.

Even if I had offered to take gold in return for my help, there was too much gold in the cartel and gang headquarters. If I had taken it all, they might have silently fired hellfire missiles at me. So I had to take it in moderation.

It was difficult to fill it with only gold, because it was so heavy that the carrier wheels would break and the handles and shoulder straps of the bag or backpack would rip.

Even if it was a sturdy bag or carrier, it could hold up to 120~130kg, but anything over that would be dangerous. So I put gold and cash in a bag of an appropriate size to roughly match the weight.

Yeah- Yeah-

The phone rang. It was the number of the Director of Homeland Security.

“Yes, I got the call.”

[How did you do it?]

The manager’s voice was shaking.

The tone of voice seemed a bit excited. It was a later reaction than expected.

Maru answered as if he didn’t know.

“Huh? What do you mean?”

[Are you on a private jet now?]

“Not yet. I’m at the airport now.”

[Then I’ll tell you, so let’s meet over here.]

“Yeah.”
