Boom- Boom-
“Please open the door. If you do not comply with the search, you will be detained.”
Boom- Boom-
“Tear down the door!”
After number 3, there was no waiting.
The soldiers who immediately burst through the door shouted.
“Get down!”
“Bow your head. Kneel!”
The three people who entered first were aiming at Director Yoo, while the two who entered afterward were looking behind the door and to the left and right.
‘Did the training go well?’
Director Yoo smiled broadly, holding the gun in front of him.
The soldier relaxed slightly at the sight of the young woman laughing and wearing a cowboy-like gun belt, and muttered as he looked around.
“Isn’t this kid a minor?”
“Are you laughing in this situation? Are you weak?”
After a small whisper, the sergeant, who had not lowered his gun, spoke.
“The gun on your waist. Is it a real gun?”
“······.”
Instead of answering, the woman smiled. The sergeant thought her smile was like that of a doll.
A revolver, and the color was strange. Dark blue? It looked heavy for a toy gun, but the color and the way the person was carrying it made it look like cosplay.
“Do you have any identification?”
The moment the sergeant asked for his identification, Director Yoo pulled his gun out of his slender holster.
■-■-■-■-■—–
Five bullets fired in less than 0.1 seconds struck five soldiers. The .45 caliber armor-piercing bullets chewed through their Adam’s apple, eyeballs, and carotid arteries, smiling as they tore through their soft flesh.
Tudadadadadak!
The sergeant, whose slightly exposed Adam’s apple was pierced, fell backwards and pulled the trigger, but it was meaningless.
Crunch- Crunch-
The two soldiers who were supporting the sergeant stumbled backwards and fell over. The armor-piercing bullet that went through their eyeballs only made a sound of bouncing off the inside of their bulletproof helmets, but they were not even able to pull the trigger.
Bb-bh-
Huu …
The two men, who had been looking around from left to right, held their left and right carotid arteries and slowly died. Their expressions were one of disbelief. They contained their pleas and instincts to live.
As the struggling gestures slowly collapsed, Director Yoo calmly reloaded. The bullet that had fallen carelessly rolled across the floor and stopped when it touched the blood that was spreading thickly.
Thud- Director Yoo roughly pushes the corpse with his toes and checks the state of the National Guard’s weapons. It looks like he’s wearing bulletproof vests almost all over his body. The heavy feeling is felt at the tips of his toes.
‘They’re the National Guard, but they’re awesome?’
If they were the National Guard, weren’t they the second unit? Seeing them wrapped up so tightly, I thought they would be tired in many ways.
There was no information. Radio, TV, internet, and cell phones were all out because of the EMP. I had no idea what was going on.
But now we have a solid fact. This fully armed army roaming the outskirts, raiding motels and hotels. Does that mean America is back to the Uncle Sam days?
The American soldier whose eyes have turned away…
Somehow I kept wanting to come to America.
His heart began to pound. The corners of Director Yoo’s mouth split open.
ha-
An EMP event occurred, and it was an attack on the American mainland.
Are you literally going to go crazy?
Cell phones and internet, all out. There will be no evidence or footage other than the tactical cameras the soldiers are equipped with. There will be a sea of blood. The sound of gunfire in the distance answered her question.
I was filled with anticipation and excitement. It was an American soldier. And an American soldier whose eyes were wide open. The distant explosions, gunshots, and desperate screams seemed to be desperately searching for Director Yoo.
Steps that instinctively run away at that desperate call.
‘No. No. Not yet.’
She stopped with both legs still and took a deep breath. Director Yoo, calming down the trembling tips of his fingers, began to search through the corpse.

Ms. Kim was furious.
You dare touch the building?
When Baekjeong goes to the army, this building will be mine.
Don’t I still have a 20% stake? At least.
But how dare you bring pig’s feet in here?
anyone?
What kind of guy is he?
I’d like to see if it would make that kind of sound if you blasted its head like a firecracker with a 12.7mm gun.
I glanced at the floor.
The smiling Baekjeong’s expression was full of murder. Every time he muttered, “Military?”, “Five years?”, something seemed to well up and then disappear, so it was clear that he was really angry.
“Okay- so that’s how it’ll turn out···.”
Kim Yang took a step away from Maru’s muttering. A chilly feeling was creeping in. Should she move a little further?
“Diana. Tell them to put up barbed wire around the construction site and plant mines and claymores.”
[The placement of mines and claymores is controversial.]
In fact, that’s why I wasn’t installing them. If a landmine or claymore exploded, there was almost a 90% chance of fatalities. I tried to avoid it because if even a photo was captured in the media, it would be sold internationally.
There was a risk of getting entangled and dirty one way or another, so I tried to just stay put if possible, but that wasn’t possible.
“Fine. What are you going to do if I plant a land mine on my land? Let me sue you. A kid who jumped over the barbed wire and came in here to die, and you’re going to sue him? This is America.”
“Still, a little.”
“What? Selling your face? The HOLY commercial has already aired. Tell them to install it.”
It was already a discarded body. What more could there be to sell now that He has become HOLY?
This incident is like that too.
What if the building had fallen to gangs and criminals? What if they had used the building like a dirty bomb by overloading the module reactor? What if they had stolen information from the emergency server center?
They weren’t just any gang. They were armed with drum mortars and machine guns. They even numbered over 2,000.
If you could stop it with a few dozen auto turrets and Homeland Security agents, wouldn’t that be pretty good?
In a situation where I’m holding a heavy gift in both hands and wondering whether I should say thank you or not, you’re going to throw me in the military and take over the building?
“I lived comfortably, adjusting to the situation, and now you want me to join the military? I told you to live quietly, helping each other, and now you want me to run away for five years? You even want the government to manage my building? Who would manage it if that damn government disappears?”
“···Are you trying to get rid of the government? Really?”
It’s good to catch the guys who were targeting the building, but are you just going to take them all down? Kim Yang’s eyes widened in surprise at the scale of Baekjeong.
If Baekjeong enters the government or the National Assembly and ‘lives’ with it, it’s not impossible because the old men and grandpas will probably ascend to heaven with heart attacks. But how are they going to handle the aftermath?
“Ha- It’s not that I’m going to cut it. I just think it’ll be ruined if I leave it alone.”
“why?”
I think you’re doing well now.
On TV news, the military was razing a city that had been hit by an EMP. If they were caught, they would be in a situation where they would turn their country into a wasteland, not just their cousins, but also their country. And then they suddenly collapse?
“Right now, we’re bombing them with overwhelming firepower, pushing in armored and mechanized divisions to crush them, but what about those infected with the mutant virus? Those who were forcibly taken in out of anger? There must be some among them who have definitely turned into mutants.”
If you are infected with the mutant virus, you will initially have problems controlling your anger, but later on, you will have symptoms of dementia. You will become like a zombie. It is transmitted through the air, and if you are bitten or scratched by a fingernail, there is a high probability that you will be infected.
Those guys will spread out in all directions through the gaps in the electric fences that are hit by EMP. They are useless against the 5.56mm guns that the National Guard or the Federal Army mainly uses.
“Can’t the mechanized division just push them back?”
“No. But the mechanized divisions and the troops are all going into the city to suppress riots and maintain order.”
“Ah- Then. I’ll be late.”
“Don’t be late.”
“Bombing?”
“That too will end sooner or later.”
Now, we have turned our eyes and mobilized all the fighters and helicopters to bombers and spray CS bullets, but it has already been several days. Non-combat losses will also steadily increase. How long will this continue? By the time the Army roughly finishes its ground inspection, air support will also end.
Then how will the mutant monsters that were being beaten move? What if the humans that were gradually closing in have disappeared somewhere, and the things that were attacking from the sky have also disappeared?
Wouldn’t it be funny if the monsters that got smarter just got stuck in the mountains and forests and then quietly got surrounded and died?
So, when the offensive slows down, the mutant monsters will run wild. Starting with the western mountains, the Rocky Mountains will become almost a magic zone, and Yellowstone National Park will be the same.
It’ll take some time to clean up the mess that’s going on along that road. By the time we’re done, it’ll be a mess due to the mutant virus.
As if to predict Maru’s prediction, news came out on TV that the damage caused by wild animals was increasing.
[···As the restoration of communication networks destroyed by EMP is delayed, a series of fatal accidents have occurred on roads near nature reserves and recreation forests.]
[It appears that the food chain changed due to the movement of herbivores, including deer.]
[You are saying that carnivores that prey on deer also moved together.]
[···Drivers using roads near nature conservation areas and recreation forests are requested not to stop or get out of their vehicles··· and to carry defensive measures and emergency rescue signal flares.]
“Wasn’t that an attack by a mutant monster? Something like a wolf, bear, or coyote.”
“I guess so.”
‘But why isn’t it reported properly?’
Maru answered Kim Yang’s gaze.
“It’s already a mess, so why are you talking about that? There’s already chaos from the explosion and the EMP, and what if you add a mutated monster to that? How are we going to handle the aftermath?”
“You were on Newtube last time, right? The hunters died during a live broadcast?”
“Even if it’s a story that people who know already know, it’s different when it’s officially reported. At that time, all the footage was controlled and such.”
[···European countries are strongly opposed to the withdrawal of US troops stationed in Europe, which were keeping Russia in check.]
[With the threat from Russia growing, the withdrawal of US troops would have a negative impact on Europe’s security…]
[Amid the US military conducting rescue operations in eastern Japan, they have also decided to withdraw···]
[US troops stationed around the world are withdrawing except for a minimal number of personnel… It has been revealed that the number of US troops stationed in Guam, Hawaii, and South Korea is increasing… China, North Korea, and Russia have expressed strong concerns.]
[The Chinese government has been unusually strong in its criticism. It has come out against the current US military actions, saying they are a threat to peace in East Asia.]
[···An act that threatens the peaceful East Asian order···An act that repeats the violent actions that the United States displayed immediately after the 9/11 terrorist attacks···]
[The Chinese authorities have announced that they will promote a tripartite alliance among China, Russia, and North Korea to respond jointly.]
Maru’s eyes narrowed. It was always the case that the Chinese kids would go crazy whenever there was a US military issue, so he just let it go, but Japan was a little bothered.
‘It’s a bit strange that they’re withdrawing troops from Japan. They rushed in like they were covered in honey, and on top of that, they’re fighting with the Northern Theater Command in China.’
They’ve been pushing forward so far and now they’re suddenly withdrawing. Are they just withdrawing in name only and sending the troops that were in Japan to the US military in Korea? That’s why China is going crazy like that.
But from China’s perspective, it doesn’t seem like it would be bad if the US military left Japan right away. China can monopolize all the honey that Japan has left. But why is it like that?
Chief Dan Brown, who had called back due to identity issues, was relieved to hear Maru’s story.
[···That’s not true. It’s hard to give you the details, but the Japanese side has made a decision.]
Has Japan made a decision?
hmm-
“Did you find the culprit?”
[···China and Russia are denying it, but there aren’t many countries that have EMP technology of this level of power.]
In fact, aside from China and Russia, the rest of the world had no reason to plant an EMP on the United States. But it was also a bit tricky to see this as a country being involved.
If they had been aiming for an all-out war, they could have taken advantage of the current chaos and taken out all of the major cities in the United States at once, but it was strange that they only took out the four cities in the western region first.
Frankly, it was a difficult situation to understand, and the debate continued even within the federal government.
This is the work of a terrorist group that acquired EMP bombs from China or Russia. So, we just need to take that level of caution and respond accordingly.
No. We should consider this not as the work of a terrorist group, but as the work of an enemy country, and prepare for an all-out war. Is an EMP bomb a child’s play? The fact that they handed it over should be considered an attack by them.
Preparing for all-out war meant that they were prepared to risk nuclear war.
The information coming from China was also complex.
There are indications that the Chinese government was unaware of the EMP incident. There are also intelligence reports that the Chinese government thinks the Northern Theater Command is the culprit.
It was absurd. In other words, in the United States, the state government mobilized its national guard to attack a country, but the federal government and the federal army did not know about it. Does that make sense?
Those who think of the Northern Front as a kind of warlord and assume that the Northern Front is the culprit and then devise countermeasures.
People who say that blaming the Northern Front is just a typical Communist tactic to buy time and that we should prepare for an all-out war and punish China.
Maybe it’s all a Russian conspiracy, and they’re taking advantage of the situation.
If you follow how the EMP came in, you’ll find out that it was connected to the New Japan Alliance.
There is even an argument that the culprit must be brought to justice no matter who he or she is or what country he or she is from.
And I conclude.
Let’s blow up the Kanto region of Japan first and then talk again.
That was the conclusion of the United States, whose eyes had turned away.
