RUST -255

What appeared before Kadama Shinta. It was the lower part of a human’s chin.

It had legs sprouting from its severed lower jaw and was moving like a fox’s legs.

Srrrrrrrr

‘A monster?’

The old man gritted his teeth. Am I crazy? No, I am not. It was whispering to itself endlessly. It was venting its anger, its resentment, its revenge.

It was just like the heart of Kadama Shinta. The misery of not being able to draw his sword even though Oni was installed and the devil was insulting him. It was like the resentment he swallowed when the evil British and Americans and the dirty bugs trampled Japan.

Moments when I could do nothing and just take it.

It was only in an instant that Japan, a huge economic powerhouse that could buy all of the U.S. territory by selling just the land of Tokyo, collapsed to the tricks of the evil Anglo-Americans.

I also had that helplessness and resentment from back then.

“What do you want?”

-■■■-■-□ □■■■■!

In a world overflowing with monsters, what’s the problem with something like that? Perhaps because of that recognition, she opened her heart to Shinta Kadama.

Images that seem to be transmitted directly to the brain. Images of being experimented on, bullied, having everything taken away, and then being burned. Scenes of being cut up and sliced.

‘No way. This is.’

Did he get hit by that Oni? The marks at the entrance were marks of a fight with that Oni. And this One wanted revenge. On that Oni. On the One who burned him. On the Human.

Do you want revenge too?

But not now. That is.

Shinta Kadama took out a thermos and poured out its contents. He placed it down in front of it. As if he understood the meaning, it went into the thermos.

Opportunity will come. Opportunity for revenge. Definitely.

Whew- The thermos vibrated. As if it was waiting for that moment.

The voices of the bodyguards were heard.

“The server storage device has disappeared.”

“There is no backup data either.”

The old man calmly put the thermos into his bag and walked away.

“Go to the lab.”

Why didn’t Chinese hackers find important information when they hacked Japanese companies? It was because they had printed out important drawings, such as blueprints, and kept them.

The same goes for researchers. If it’s really important data, they tend to document it or save it separately on a USB.

“Everything burned down, so what’s left?”

“Look for it. It will definitely be there.”

The guards who were searching through the burned-out lab discovered something. No, they had to assume that a large, blackened safe was revealed because everything was burned. The safe hidden in the wall was discovered because everything was burned.

“There really was a safe.”

“It still retained its original shape even though the incinerator was in operation.”

“Is it a fireproof safe?”

The safe, which had been difficult to open, finally reveals its contents, revealing a pile of documents and a USB drive inside.

“The documents are in good condition.”

“USB looks good too.”

A smile appeared on the old man’s face at the bodyguards’ words.

Japan will definitely revive, and it will definitely take revenge. This was the beginning.

“Let’s go to Takaichi Shinyaku.”

Shinta Kadama said, tightly gripping the handle of the bag containing documents, a USB, and a thermos.

The next thing to look for was the altar.

Maru and Kim Yang’s military service issue was negotiated and they agreed to serve as officers one year from now.

“Didn’t you say you’re going to enlist in mid-April next year? But what’s this?”

After reading the file, Maru questioned Manager Dan Brown.

[No matter how good your abilities are, shouldn’t you have at least basic knowledge to serve as an officer?]

“So, you’re telling me to take the time to get an education?”

[I think it is up to Vladimir Kalin to decide which method he chooses. However, if he wants to be an officer, not a regular non-commissioned officer, basic training is a must.]

After the terrorist incident, America turned into Uncle Sam. The biggest change was the firm decision. Little by little, but surely, they began to prepare for war.

As a start, the period of army recruit training was also extended from 14 weeks to 22 weeks. This is because the results were clear, such as increased combat power and a decrease in the number of dropouts through the extended training period.

The number of recruits also increased. After World War II and the Vietnam War, the brigades that had been disbanded were reorganized and the number of subordinate battalions increased, thereby expanding the force.

At the same time, retraining of officers who had been discharged from the military began. It was a retraining program targeting discharged officers.

There was a course for people with other jobs, where they would come in on Friday evening, stay on Friday and Saturday, and return on Sunday afternoon. Or there was a course where they would stay in the dorm from Monday to Friday and return home on the weekend. You could choose one of these two.

It seemed like it would be better to do it every weekend, but it was impossible to go in on both weekends. It was better to make sure that there were no times when the building would be empty.

‘It’s fortunate that they don’t overlap.’

One of Kim Yang and Maru has to go to the weekday training camp and return home on the weekend, while the other has to go to the weekday training camp and stay home on the weekend.

Glance.

When I looked at Ms. Kim, her pupils were dead.

The eyes are dead, and if you say, ‘You go in during the week,’ then there’s bound to be an accident. There’ll probably be a shooting accident. And then the service period will be extended. On and on.

After hearing the story, it turned out that even if Maru had said he wanted to join the army right away, it wasn’t a situation where he could be thrown in right away. But they made it seem like they were going to drag him in right away, and gave him a one-year grace period as if it was a great favor.

‘Looking at what he’s doing, it’s pretty good. But will he still be able to hold up well in a year?’

If you watch, you’ll know.

Let’s see if he can still be a bully after things start to go wrong here and there.

As if to appease Maru, Chief Dan Brown continued his story.

[Still, the military put a lot of effort into it. In cases like this, you would normally start as a second lieutenant, but they gave you a two-rank promotion so you start as a captain.]

It was said that his hidden activities as a mercenary under the Department of Homeland Security were recognized as a record. Leading a retreating unit and successfully escaping from hellish Japan, and searching for missing troops in Yellowstone National Park and preventing further damage.

In addition to this, Maru’s activities were numerous, but for solving two cases, he was given a special promotion of one rank, from second lieutenant to captain.

The explanation is that although it would have been enough to give him the title of major, they decided to give him the title of captain first and then promote him if he felt like it.

It was a consolation that I shouldn’t react too sensitively since at least I started off with a captain.

‘It started from the captain… I think they were secretly aiming for it?’

Maru felt a little strange about Manager Den Brown’s nagging. Did he guess at least a little bit why he was wasting time by saying he would go a year later? Then he must be tired.

[Miss Kim starts out as a lieutenant, but you can expect her to be promoted to captain soon after completing her training.]

Regardless, Kim Yang fiddled with the gun with dead eyes.

“You heard? What do you want to do? Short and thick, 5-day training camp during the week? Or thin and long, 2-day training camp every weekend? You choose.”

“···thin and long.”

Well then, that’s right.

“When does the weekday course start?”

[There are new batches starting every week, so it’s possible at any time, but wouldn’t it be better to do it as soon as possible?]

If you pick a fight with a guy with the rank of captain, the military will punish you.

“You have to make this contract clear. It’s really no fun if you bring forward your service just because you finished your training.”

[You don’t have to worry. Unless something really big happens, there won’t be a problem.]

Unless an all-out war breaks out or something, there’s nothing to worry about. But if an unexpected problem arises and an emergency meeting is called, how will you react?

Will he show that he is doing his duty as a U.S. soldier? Or will he show that he cannot let go of his mercenary mindset that is only interested in profit? Depending on how he acts, his promotion to major will be determined.

Maru and Kim nodded, not knowing whether they knew what Manager Den Brown was thinking.

‘······.’

‘······.’

The two people exchanged glances.

Kanto region of Japan.

It was a place where the United States and China were willing to engage in armed conflict to maximize their own interests. A place where everything collapsed in the aftermath of volcanoes, earthquakes, and tsunamis.

A place where mutated monsters roam the streets in a vicious environment and where superhumans suddenly appear. Since it was a place where many superhumans appeared, neither the United States nor China gave up.

But then, all of a sudden, news came that the US military was withdrawing. News from the people in the US. The US, with its eyes on terrorism, had decided to blow up everything in the Kanto region of Japan.

Since most of the troops who entered Japan were from the Northern Theater Command, Long Yan, the commander of the Northern Theater Command, had to find a way to safely evacuate the troops.

The number of troops sent to Japan was close to 150,000. The reason is unknown, but it was because there were soldiers who turned into superhumans. It was also to gain an advantage in the battle with the US military, and in anticipation of more superhuman soldiers, they sent as many as possible, but now it has become a bad thing.

“The Southern Front transport ships are said to be unable to move due to barnacles.”

“The Eastern Electric Power Company refused, saying that there was no order from the party.”

“You fucking little brats…”

Long Yan’s face was distorted. It was all an excuse. He must have been holding back after hearing that the party was planning to purge him.

“You fucking idiots. Do you think you can survive if you lie down like that?”

The current commentator is seeking absolute power. If he keeps quiet, he will be purged and trampled. What happens after the Northern Front is divided? Should he just leave him alone because he listened well?

Taking care of them was a later task, and now was the time. If we lost all the troops sent to Japan, 40% of the Northern Theater’s power would be gone.

Although some of the soldiers active in Japan became superhumans, they were a minority.

“What happened to the people with abilities? Have they not yet found the cause-and-effect relationship?”

In response to Long Yan’s question, those in charge of the ability holders answered that they needed time.

“There is not enough time to establish a clear causal relationship.”

“It also has the ability to grow, but more in-depth research is needed to confirm this.”

“In addition to strengthening physical abilities, various abilities are continuously being discovered, so it takes time.”

Late. I said I’m late.

The most important resource right now was time.

While the main force was tied up in Kanto, Japan, it was a dangerous moment if the party were to push back by mobilizing the Eastern Theater and the Southern Theater. They brought in the US to block the party’s purge movement.

I was right in thinking that the Chairman and the Party would not hesitate to go to the Northern Theater and civil war in the face of the US, and that they would not kneel before the US, but the US’s response was unexpected.

Beyond handling the matter decisively, he decided to blow up the Kanto region, the cradle of superhumans and the secret to youthfulness…

There was no way to stop it. If the internet was still alive and there was electricity, they could have used cell phone videos to wage a public opinion war. It was impossible.

Even if we reveal that the atrocities committed by the United States were discovered on a refugee’s cell phone, it would be considered a fabrication.

Isn’t this the area where the electricity was cut off due to an earthquake, volcanic eruption, and tsunami?

How to charge your phone in the completely ruined Kanto region of Japan?

They say that cars and oil generators break down in this environment, but are cell phones still alive?

Isn’t solar power generation impossible because of volcanic ash, dust, and smoke? That’s amazing.

There will be an abundance of stories like this.

“Remove all surveillance buoys laid by the US.”

We had to mobilize all the transport ships and fishing boats we could. To do that, we had to first deal with the surveillance equipment that the US had installed.

At the same time, a way to avoid indiscriminate attacks from the United States was needed.

“Spread a rumor that the US is planning a large-scale bombing of Japan to catch the mutant monsters.”

“They are going to bomb everything to wipe it all out.”

What should we do with refugees who hear stories like this?

“The Japanese will flock to the port.”

“It doesn’t matter.”

Because that was the rumor.

Everyone will flock to the port to try to survive. Then, we can use them as shields and withdraw our troops. That’s it.

The Americans will probably still have ties to Japan. If so, they will hear that refugees are gathering at the port, so they won’t be able to just blow up the port.

“Return the superhuman unit first.”

After we safely withdraw our troops, we should negotiate.

Is it a civil war?

or not···

The map Long Yan was looking at had the north colored in a different color.
