RUST -240

“We’re leaving right away, so have the Homeland Security agents stand by.”

[Delivered.]

I’ve never seen anything like that before. Diana confirmed that there are some who try to induce violence and get involved in that way.

‘Who are you trying to get involved with? There are so many crazy people out there who want to get screwed.’

It seems like there are a lot of people who need true education, but it was still a time to be cautious.

“The search party was annihilated by a monster snake. When do you think it will be reported in the press?”

[We are taking security pledges with survivors and wounded soldiers, but it seems like it will only be for a week at most.]

There were too many witnesses. It was impossible to keep the federal troops, the National Guard, the National Guard, the paramedics, and the medical personnel all silent.

Mutant coyotes began attacking homes, and reports of wild animal attacks became more frequent on local stations and radio stations.

What used to happen once a month was now happening almost every day. What would happen if the stories of giant snakes spread from survivors and injured soldiers who survived in Yellowstone National Park?

There are already videos on Newtube of famous hunters disappearing in real time, but what if a story spreads that the army that went to rescue the hunters got eaten by a snake?

‘This is going to be a mess.’

Even though the streaming was blocked, more than ten thousand people watched the scene of the hunters disappearing in real time.

‘Could it be that the shortage of materials is due to hoarding?’

“Please check if there have been any recent news reports about private jets.”

[···Reported by local broadcasters in 12 states, including Texas and California.]

“Was the report serious enough to cause a crowd?”

[Although the extent of hoarding is not severe, it has been found that some people have started to stockpile large quantities of goods. Shipments from major supermarkets increased by 12.78% compared to the same period.]

It was clear that there were people who sensed something strange and began to prepare themselves. The moment the news reported on the Yellowstone National Park hunters and search party accidents, there was a panic buying and people who couldn’t get their things would suddenly turn into rioters and looters.

As the situation gets more difficult, the building will become more famous and more people will target it. And that too, all the time. So let’s just go. Now.

[Would you like to take a break?]

“No. I can sleep in the car. Let’s leave right away.”

[Transmitted. Chief Dan Brown is requesting a direct call.]

“Change the phone.”

[I’m making a phone call.]

[I heard you found the missing search party. Thank you.]

As expected, Manager Dan Brown. He had the basics.

[I heard you are going back right now. Are you going back right away without resting for a day? There are people who say they definitely want to see you tomorrow.]

As we avoided taking air travel due to the increased risk of accidents and instead used land routes, waiting for about a day became routine.

Since he didn’t specifically mention who he wanted to see, there was a possibility that he was someone who was burdensome to even meet.

If you were really interested, you would have come to the building.

But when I came out instead of coming into the building, and it happened in Yellowstone National Park, to come into a situation as complicated as this…

“I don’t know who you are, but please tell them that I appreciate their concern, but I don’t think now is the time. I have some unfinished business.”

[···Is it urgent?]

But Chief Den Brown didn’t ask any specific questions about what was going on. He would check with the Homeland Security agent in the building right away.

“Yes. Why else would you want to sleep while driving?”

[···okay.]

“We are about to leave right now. I know the agents are very tired, but please take care of them.”

Although there was a rare hint of hesitation from Manager Dan Brown, Maru announced that he would leave right away. And as soon as he hung up the phone, he slowly started off.

Let’s put the phone on auto-answering, and on the trailer’s walkie-talkie, there were people who told us to stop by the situation room for a moment and then go, and people who wanted to see us and thank us for saving them, but Maru told them to answer because he was tired and had fallen asleep, and then left right away.

As we slowly pulled out of the park entrance, two vehicles from the Department of Homeland Security hurriedly took the lead.

[What should I do about the course?]

“Let’s go back the way we came.”

[Okay, I’ll call you and tell you I’m taking Highway 90.]

“And that person that Chief Dan Brown was talking about earlier? The person who said he came here because he wanted to see me. Do you know who that person is?”

[···It has been confirmed that all relevant information has been encrypted as a top-level security target. If you check the information, traces may remain. Should you proceed?]

“No. Then it’s fine.”

After all, he was a person who was better not to meet.

There were many incidents that occurred during the day when the search party was wandering around and fighting with snakes. Diana summarized the important news that was reported yesterday and today.

[They say there is not enough space to accommodate people infected with the mutant virus.]

People with intermittent explosive disorder were being put directly into concentration camps, but this had its limits. The number of cases of people killing each other and turning into mutants in the concentration camps continued to increase.

[It is said that a drug has been developed in Korea that can treat people suffering from intermittent explosive disorder caused by a mutant virus.]

“A cure for the mutant virus?”

[The new drug developed by Ojin Group is not a treatment for mutant viruses. However, it is said to be a drug that selectively treats intermittent explosive disorder triggered by mutant viruses. It has already successfully completed phase 2 clinical trials under the project name KA, and phase 3 clinical trials are currently in progress.]

“Again. What’s the project name?”

[This is KA.]

An abbreviation for Kiss Angel. Maru came to mind when he thought of the medicine that Maru’s mother and younger sister Naru took. Is it a coincidence that they have the same name?

[China has publicly criticized the United States.]

[A Chinese spokesperson claimed that the United States unleashed biological weapons on China, causing massive human and material damage.]

Maru couldn’t close his gaping mouth.

[This is an inhumane and immoral act of aggression, and the Chinese government and its 1.5 billion people will never tolerate it.]

[He warned that if the immediate and permanent withdrawal of US forces stationed in South Korea and Okinawa, whose purpose is to invade China and North Korea, and the complete and permanent unification of China and Taiwan are not accepted, the results will be catastrophic.]

“Huh? You’re telling me to just go out.”

[This is not a declaration of war.]

“Do you have any evidence?”

[The appearance of a mutant cockroach has been reported in the Jilin Province of China.]

“The US solved that?”

[American involvement has not been confirmed.]

[China currently has 13 farms breeding mutant cockroaches. There is also one cockroach breeding facility in Jilin Province, where it is possible that escaped mutant cockroaches are breeding.]

‘Are you crazy? You bred that mutant wheel? Why on earth?’

Maru recalled the experience he had in Japan. It was a crazy cockroach. Why would you raise such a bug? Kim Yang’s screams rang in his ears.

‘Dead shrimp flavor! How dare you shrimp flavor bastards!’

Cut it off. No way. No way. Those guys act in groups, so if you raise them and something goes wrong, it won’t be manageable.

[There are also reports of mutant cockroaches escaping from a military quarantine facility in Jilin province, but no further information is available.]

There were a few things going on. There was a forest fire, but it was near the previous big fire and the wind prevented it from spreading further. And then there was the ongoing conflict between the state government and the federal government. And finally, there was the need to strengthen the screening process for Japanese refugees.

[Because there has been an increase in Chinese people trying to enter the country illegally by pretending to be Japanese refugees.]

Now, at the immigration office, if you say you are Japanese, you have to take a Japanese test, and if you say you are Korean, you have to take a Korean test. An English interview is a given.

Flights were almost completely canceled, but the route was still fine. However, with the mutated barnacles spreading from the South China Sea, it was unclear what would happen in the future.

What was certain was that the international community, international trade, and world travel of the past would become difficult. The world was changing.

Diana’s analysis was a great stimulus to Maru, who had been pursuing the safe life of a building owner without much thought.

‘The world is changing.’

25-year-old Maru’s life grew up in a globalized world. Even eating a single bag of snacks contained ingredients from all over the world. If the current situation cannot be resolved quickly, the snacks that contained the world he enjoyed as a child may become a distant memory.

“Let’s order plenty of snacks and drinks from the mart in Detroit. Chocolate and other things. If you vacuum-pack them and put them in the freezer, they’ll last a long time.”

I thought it would be a good idea to stock up on a lot of those.

[···I ordered.]

I had to drive to Detroit in roughly three days.

If Maru had gone alone, he could have gone in a day and a half, but since he was escorted by Homeland Security agents, he had to sleep in between and eat at a restaurant.

[Agents have scheduled an overnight stay in Rapid City.]

“They said the schedule will go as planned.”

Since we left late in the evening, we found accommodation early in the middle. The conditions were that it had to be a city of a certain size. It was because of security issues and because there was a Department of Homeland Security agency there, so we could get help in case of an emergency.

[What would you like to eat?]

“Tell them to take care of themselves and eat well. I’ll eat here.”

Maru, who had changed into her pajamas, sat down in front of the computer with grilled spam, kimchi, rice, and cup ramen. When she was feeling upset, the panty play challenge was the best.

No one had ‘yet’ breached the escort of Homeland Security agents. Maru had not stepped out of the car. He had not made any contact at all, so there was no reason for an accident to occur.

Slurp- slurp-

Knock knock knock

The cotton swab that was being passed to the suddenly dead character brushed against my Adam’s apple.

If you get the timing right, you can roll and roll backwards, dodge diagonally again, and dodge. Run far away, and when the guy comes, dodge to the side, roll, and dodge.

Amy-

Jamie-

Maru is starting to get annoyed by the names the characters shout as they die.

No, why can’t you avoid it? Just dodge it like this and then cut it down. Is that really that hard? Huh? I could cut it down faster even if I did it with my body.

In the blink of an eye, it was past 11pm.

“Ah- really. This character really is.”

What character is weak at the base? Even if there is no tempo, the fundamentals should be strong. So this was all a problem with the character. Because his play was perfect.

But still, you won’t die from splash damage, right?

[This is a call from Manager Dan Brown.]

“I said I was going to sleep.”

What time is it? It’s almost midnight. This guy will wake up before midnight. Let’s just hold on to this guy and go to sleep. Maru was in a state of shock again. And two minutes.

······

Jamie-

The character cried.

“Erai-”

[This is Chief Dan Brown calling. It’s an emergency.]

“Okay. Connect me.”

As soon as the call was connected, the urgent voice of Manager Dan Brown was heard.

[The mayor of Lepit City has requested emergency assistance. Campers near Lake Factla have reportedly been attacked by monsters.]

I was already annoyed. Okay.

When Maru set off without any conditions, Manager Den Brown was rather taken aback. Regardless, Maru rode his motorcycle and headed to the scene.

The place where the monster attacked was the Factla Lake tourist site near Rapid City. It was a place frequently visited by the citizens of Rapid City.

Wheeeeeeing-

Maru flew the drone at the fastest speed and shortest distance to the scene. A total of four drones flew from the motorcycle.

[Good signal. Beginning reconnaissance, No. 1 and No. 2.]

[No. 3, No. 4 Sajoo Boundary]

Small drones spread out in all directions. The scene we arrived at soon after.

The footage from the drone was sent to the HUD in real time. The screen showed a creature pressing down on a camping trailer with its front paws and tearing off the roof with its snout.

coyote?

Judging by the shape of its ears, it was a coyote.

Kwaaaaang!

Tubb- A bird was biting Maru.

Maru, who had rolled backwards to avoid being bitten, swung his sword. I’ve seen this sight before.

A coyote with one front leg missing about a third of its length made a squeaking sound.

Wow!

After avoiding the one that was attacking from behind, he rolled to the side again, then rustled and took two more steps to the side, then rustled and struck twice in a row. The coyote, with both hind legs half cut off, collapsed.

In an instant, two of them screamed that they would die, and the remaining three glared at the floor and disappeared into the forest without a second thought.

The one with one of its front legs cut off ran away desperately, but Maru’s sword had no mercy. After its cleanly severed head fell to the floor, its body collapsed.

As if unaware that his head had fallen, his legs flailed for a while before slowly stopping.

The one with its hind legs cut off screamed and cried out for help. Its tail was between its legs and the smell of urine rose up.

‘You little brat, wipe the blood off your snout and pretend to be pitiful.’

Kkiing- kkeiing- kkeiing- kkeiing-

When he was attacking, he was barking like a wolf, but when he was defeated, he was barking like a dog.

Choaaaak—-

The loud noise was cut off by a clean horizontal swing.

‘This is better than I thought?’

It was good because it took less effort.

Here, here. The smartphone flash began to go off toward Maru, who was trying to get into a good pose.

“Diana! Erase everything! Cut off communication!”

[···Communication was blocked, streaming was blocked.]

Good job! You are my benefactor.
