RUST -270

The open space in front of Vladiak Tower.

It started with a few armed gangsters.

I came here to loot, but this was a bit too much. No.

“Container?”

“Are your eyes swollen? What kind of container is this?”

It was a wall reinforced with reinforced concrete.

“It’s not just a wall.”

“How are we going to break through this?”

People who had flocked there because it was so good were surprised by the wall that was higher than they had expected. As rumored, the wall was more than 10m high and bigger than they had expected. There was even an automatic turret that glowed a red laser.

“Come to think of it, didn’t you say that one of the gangs broke up last time?”

“That’s right. They said about 2,000 people died?”

“Two thousand?”

“They say that more than half of them are drug addicts and such.”

“But still, it’s 2,000 won, so you want to throw it away?”

“It’s a bit much to just take this in…”

People started to gather, starting with the gangsters. No matter how much I thought about it, the wall that was over 10 meters high and the gun barrels and muzzles sticking out from it all looked dangerous.

In this way, banners and signs were created on the spot.

[We want to live too!]

[Repent! You who turn away from your starving brothers and sisters!]

[Guarantee the right to survive!]

[Black Lives Matter!]

[A dirty world where only white people live in the Ark Tower!]

[Whose heaven was created from Vlady’s blood?]

At first, the empty space where hundreds of people had gathered suddenly grew to thousands. Regardless, Ms. Kim didn’t even blink.

“I’m starving. Where are the little ones?”

Kim Yang was furious. People who have never starved before are talking about starvation? And in front of me? If only they had been hit by a nuclear bomb. Detroit was a place that could not even be hit by a nuclear bomb. It doesn’t matter what you do in your front yard, but it’s not like you’re crawling up because you’re starving.

“Those guys. If they come over, shoot.”

Flexibility Level 3 Diana reconfirmed Kim Yang’s order.

[Do you shoot unarmed people who come over?]

“What about unarmed? If they come over, shoot them.”

You fucking bastards. Did you give me your taxes? You should be asking the United States for your right to live. Why are you acting up here? Their very existence was a weapon. Yeah.

As another day passed, the number of people who had been in the thousands increased to over tens of thousands. People who came to ask, “What’s going on?” and then sat down after hearing, “There are items piled up in that tower.”

The area around them began to become densely packed with people, with people occasionally shooting guns into the air. The nearby cafes, convenience stores, and restaurants were reduced to ashes in an instant.

As their numbers grew, they began to become increasingly violent, but Ms. Kim remained firm. Her policy of “if they come over, we’ll shoot” remained unchanged.

After seeing the fire department get shot by a 40mm machine gun while trying to enter with a ladder truck, a peaceful(?) rally with banners and signs continued.

So, about three days after the nuclear bomb was dropped on the United States, a communication using military communications came. Kim Yang’s plan was simple and clear.

[Emergency signal from the Strategic Command.]

“Okay. We’re on emergency duty too.”

[This is an emergency message from Marine Corps Headquarters.]

“Chew it. We have an emergency too.”

[This is a call from the Department of Homeland Security.]

“Okay. Just ignore everything. If it’s important, I’ll come in person.”

If you can get through those people, come.

Kim Yang had not forgotten the military’s anger. Even if they came, I would never open the door for them. I had to say that the door was broken because of the EMP.

It was the same even when I landed on the rooftop by helicopter. The basic policy was not to open the door.

“Never open the door. Don’t let anyone in.”

When the nuclear bomb was dropped and communication was cut off, even among the children who had signed a contract to cut ties when they came in, there were those who started to come out one by one, looking for their parents, crying for their lovers, and missing their children who had been taken away by their ex-wives. Kim Yang’s method of separation was simple.

“Really? Tell him to jump.”

Why open the door? What if there are kids who want to climb up after riding the ladder? Shoot them? Why would they have to take such risks? Those who want to get out can just jump down coolly.

[It is over 10m tall.]

“It’s great because I can go see all the people I want to see at once.”

Diana worked hard to calculate because Kim Yang was something that could not be understood even with the three-step flexibility.

Five days after the nuclear bomb was dropped, the crowd outside the Ark Tower literally numbered 70,000 to 80,000. Next to the wreckage shattered by the 40mm machine gun, the peaceful(?) protesters began to look increasingly violent.

Amidst all this chaos, a small yacht moved along the Detroit River.

‘What the hell is this?’

When Maru came home by boat from Milwaukee, he was shocked to see the front and back yard in shambles.

“Diana.”

[-chik- Short-range wireless communication established.]

“Yeah. Is everything okay?”

[······.]

Diana had no choice but to do the math to figure out how to respond. Maru understood that the delay in the math meant that it was okay.

The news that he was connected to Diana meant that the building was still intact. ‘Thank goodness.’ Maru’s nervousness eased slightly.

“Who are the people gathered in the front yard over there?”

[Presumably poor people living in and around Detroit.]

A subtle ratio of 77% poor people and 66% gang-related people.

“Hey. If you add the two together, it’s over 100%.”

[That’s just how it is. Anyone you want to meet can jump down and meet them at any time.]

Diana made a joke that was a bit hard to understand. Sigh- You’ve really grown a lot, haven’t you? Maru laughed.

“So. I heard gunshots and it seems like everyone is armed. Is it okay to just leave them there? What are the police doing?”

[Public service workers, including police officers and firefighters, were confirmed to have left the city.]

You gave up so quickly?

Even though it was destroyed, Detroit was the largest city in Michigan. But just four days after the nuclear bomb went off, the administration abandoned the city. Even though no nuclear bomb was dropped on Detroit.

“Has the state abandoned Detroit?”

[A nuclear bomb has been dropped on Lansing, Michigan’s state capital, destroying the state government.]

“There would have been time to evacuate before the nukes hit, but didn’t the state officials evacuate?”

[Evacuated.]

“however?”

[There is no definitive evidence, but it is believed that he was attacked by a mutated monster after a nuclear explosion.]

“···Ha. What···what kind of monster is it?”

[A large amount of blood and bird feathers remained at the scene confirmed by the reconnaissance drone.]

If the flock of birds I saw last time had set their mind to it, it would have been difficult for them to survive. Maru nodded.

“What about the military? There are people who came in to control the mutant virus situation and maintain public order. There were also National Guards, but I don’t see them.”

[We retreated from the large city, judging that there was a high risk of nuclear attack.]

“And then you don’t come back?”

[Yes.]

The National Guard, which was patrolling to prevent the spread of the mutant virus and maintain public order, is said to be gone. Police and firefighters have fled.

I settled in Detroit with this possibility in mind when I first settled in, but it felt strange when it actually happened.

As a result, there is no military nearby. No police. No administrative power.

“Have you heard any news about the current situation and what’s going on in China?”

[According to emergency broadcasts, the damage appears to be more severe than expected.]

It is said that out of the 300 missiles, nearly 60 were successfully intercepted. Excluding short-range cruise missiles and medium- to long-range missiles, it is said that less than 100 nuclear missiles actually landed on the United States.

What is unfortunate is that among the missiles that failed to be intercepted, there were more than 10 multi-warhead missiles. It is said that the nuclear weapons fell over a wider area than expected, as they were sprayed with multi-warhead nuclear weapons that were separated into 3 to 10 pieces.

[They say they are preparing for additional attacks immediately.]

The moment we fired a nuclear weapon at the US forces in Korea and Japan, there was no turning back.

Whether it was US forces in Korea or US forces in Japan, there were military bases in places with many civilians. This means that if it wasn’t a precision bombing, there would be massive civilian casualties. So they just planted a nuclear weapon in such a place, and the US also had a justification to just plant a nuclear weapon there.

China is just going out, but unfortunately, if it really goes out, the country that will have no answer is the United States.

The information obtained from Tokyo, Japan is also infuriating, and on top of that, there is overwhelming evidence that the EMP terror and mutant virus attacks are connected to China, and those crazy guys are even firing nukes. From what I heard from Vladimir’s report, they were just going out there, saying they were prepared for a nuclear war?

The only countries that were serious about nuclear weapons were the United States and the Soviet Union. And since they fired nukes at them, they had no choice but to show their sincerity.

The number of missiles sent to China was close to 600, but only 400 of them actually contained nuclear warheads. 200 were dummies.

A dummy missile arrived first, wearing out China’s defenses, and then a missile carrying a nuclear warhead was dropped.

“You’re launching another attack right now? You said the troops in the western part of the US have evaporated?”

The US forces in Korea, Japan, Guam, and Hawaii must have suffered massive damage, but with what force?

[The plan is to start an attack on China with the Korean military as the main force.]

They say that Korea also lost its eyes. Pyeongtaek and Daegu were suddenly blown up, and although they stopped the nuclear bomb that landed in Busan, they were unable to stop the nuclear bomb that was set to explode at high altitudes, and so they were hit by an EMP.

After all the talk about a radiation leak due to a nuclear power plant accident near the Yellow Sea, South Korea, suddenly hit by a nuclear weapon, literally seethed and began preparing for war.

With more than 50% of the Chinese army’s strength having been lost due to two rounds of nuclear retaliation by the United States and a civil war, it seemed impossible to prevent a landing on the Chinese mainland by the ROK-US combined forces.

While I was chatting with Diana, the yacht arrived at the dock near the Vladislav Tower.

“conceive!”

“Oh- Yacht-”

“Ye-Yo-”

People near the dock flocked to the yacht like swarms of people.

‘crazy.’

The hidden Maru shook his head as he jumped over the crowd of people. He said there were a lot, but it wasn’t that many. There were so many people that hiding was meaningless.

Kim Yang’s exosuit greeted Maru, who had made his way through the bustling crowd using the nearby street trees and streetlights.

[Are you here?]

The European Union announced daily.

‘But we have to solve it through dialogue.’

‘Oh my, a nuclear weapon. What should I do with this?’

‘We must find reason and think about the future of humanity.’

I made a statement with great effort, but inside, I was thinking, ‘Cheer up. Cheer up.’, ‘The winning side is our side.’ This was because there seemed to be an opportunity to regain the hegemony that had been transferred to the New World in the aftermath of World War I and II.

The European Union was relatively relaxed, with Russia being a bit of a bully, but Germany, the Russian beef specialist, declaring rearmament, and Poland, the meat shield.

Even the timing was good. Not long after the United States recalled a large number of its troops from Europe due to terrorist attacks at home, a nuclear war broke out with China.

This was honey. The honey that the US had sucked in the name of rebuilding the ruins of World War II was now the turn of the European Union. Even considering the post-war reconstruction of China, the honey was twice as much.

At a time when the European Union was turning the circuit of hope.

Another faction that had been hoping and anticipating the end of American influence was so happy that they threw a party in Europe to bid farewell to them in the future.

“Allahu Akbar!” (Allah is great!)

“Allah!”

“Bismillah! (In the name of Allah!)”

Fireworks began to blare across Europe, starting in London and Paris.

And Prato, a small city near Florence, Italy.

Daughter-

With the sound of a bell, a man with a messy head and oily hair entered the store. Mr. Chen, the owner of a Chinese grocery store, furrowed his brow.

“No comfort women allowed.”

“Hey. I brought money.”

The wrinkle between the boss’s eyebrows smoothed out as the man took a euro note out of his pocket.

Prato, famous for producing luxury goods, has over 5,000 small factories run by Chinese people.

Due to the aftermath of the virus, people from all over the world flocked to Prato, and the number of Chinese people, including illegal workers, was estimated to exceed 70,000. Perhaps because of this, Chinese grocery stores were doing quite well.

“There it is. The one I brought last time. Shrimp powder and beef jerky.”

“Well, it exists, but the price has gone up a lot···.”

“What? The price goes up every time I buy it.”

“Haven’t you heard the news?”

“What’s the news?”

“I heard that the US and the US had a real fight. Watch the news and live.”

“You’re in league with the Americans? Huh?”

“So there will be no imports for the time being. Prices will all go up.”

“Hey, that’s true. So how much is it?”

The oil man got angry when he saw the price list the boss showed him.

“No matter what this fucking little brat does, it’s still three times as much?”

“If it’s expensive, why don’t you just not buy it? Are you swearing? Are you going to grow up? Get out, you little brat. I’m not selling it!”

The two men, who had been exchanging insults, began to physically fight. As the physical fight grew increasingly violent, the dog-oil man ended up biting his master’s arm.

“Kyaaaaah! This crazy kid!”

“Police! Call the police!”

The owner screamed loudly at the teeth digging into his flesh.

“You little brat, I’m calling the police!”

Big hit!

Flesh was torn off and blood flowed out profusely.

“Eww! You fucking. Ball…”

The sight of a man holding onto a handful of his severed arm and looking into the eyes of the owner who was screaming. The sight of him chewing on the bitten flesh with his eyes wide open for some reason was strange.

Gulp-
