RUST [RUST]-271

Maru stretched after playing dead in bed all day for the first time in a while. If he hadn’t been hungry, he would have slept more, but he was so hungry.

“What about Ms. Kim?”

[On alert.]

Maru made an O- shape with his mouth at Diana’s report. What’s going on? He really is a guy who hates working. Since he works hard, I guess I should go check it out. If he says he hasn’t eaten, we can eat together.

As Kim Yang climbed up the northwest wall where he was standing guard, he saw a crowd of people. There was a buzzing sound like a swarm of bees.

It was dizzying to hear car horns blaring and gunshots shooting through the air. Yesterday there were 70,000 to 80,000 people, but today there must have been at least twice that number. There must have been 150,000 people.

“What the hell is this?”

[Look over there. Over there.]

The place that Kim Yang was talking about was far away in the outskirts. People who were arguing or pushing each other suddenly started swinging their fists. They weren’t just swinging their fists, but they were swinging their fists with murderous intent.

“If I do that wrong, I’ll die?”

[Not only that side, but that side too.]

The other side was in a similar situation. Suddenly, as if they had done something big wrong, people who had been pushing each other started to punch each other. It felt strange at first glance. People who were suddenly fighting to kill each other. It was a strong sense of unease.

‘Where have I seen it?’

Japan? Japanese hospital? It was the scene I saw at that hospital when I brought the nurse. People suddenly getting angry and running wild.

“Crazy. The mutant virus is spreading while we’re all gathered here?”

When the military withdrew and the police ran away, it was not a good thing.

It was because of them that we were able to end the mutant virus outbreak early, and the reason it didn’t spread was because they quickly classified and isolated the infected.

Now that the state government was gone, there was no army or police. No one was thinking about the spread of the mutant virus.

“Turn on the warning broadcast. A mutant virus is spreading among people.”

What if over 150,000 people get infected with a mutant virus? How many mutants will there be? The ones that were spread in Japan are running wild in the tens of thousands? What the fuck…

[The mutant virus is currently spreading!]

“FUCK YOU!”

“Give us the relief supplies!”

“That’s a lie! Another lie!”

[Citizens, please disperse for your safety!]

“Open the door! If you open the door, we will disperse.”

“We want to live too!”

“Black Lives Matter!”

“Let’s get the dirty white people out of the Ark Tower!”

And so began the cruel month of May.

======

Behind the layered protective walls, the Strategic Command was safe.

“I have to see it through to the end.”

“I agree. Since we used bombs with low residual radiation, an amphibious landing is possible.”

The plan was to invade the continent by way of the Yangtze and Yellow Rivers and sweep it away.

From beginning to end, I couldn’t believe a single thing. Let’s say that terrorists stole the nuclear security code. If it were normal, they would have made an emergency call to the nuclear missile base, ordered them to scrap the existing nuclear security code, and ordered an unconditional ban on launch.

At the very least, the moment the nuclear security code was breached, the security of the nuclear missile facility should have been strengthened. But what was the result? The nuclear facility was breached because of a lack of troops due to the civil war?

Are you asking me to believe that? Less than a day after the nuclear security code was breached, nuclear weapons were launched? And not one or two, but twenty-three?

So we fired 46 rounds at key military and nuclear facilities, and those crazy guys fired every nuke they had available. We started a nuclear war.

“If we add 50,000 reorganized garrison troops to the 200,000 Korean troops and land a force of 250,000, we have a good chance of winning.”

“If we call up the reserves in Korea, we can recruit at least 1.8 million more.”

Beginning with the division of the Korean Peninsula, conflict with the Soviet Union intensified.

The Korean War broke out amid such conflict. Communist China intervened in the Korean War when the Allied Forces’ victory was certain.

There is a story that the United States hesitated to use nuclear bombs on China because it was worried that communist China’s entry into the war would lead to the entry of the Soviet Union and escalate into World War III, which resulted in many Allied casualties, but if you look closely, it is strange.

Even if the US had used nuclear weapons against China, it would have been difficult for the US mainland to be attacked with nuclear weapons, because China did not have nuclear weapons during the Korean War.

So what about the story about the Soviet Union attacking the United States? The Soviet Union suddenly dropping nukes on the United States because communist China got nuked?

At that time, there were no long-range ballistic missiles, and the only way to use nuclear weapons was through bombing. Would it have been possible to use bombers to penetrate the US air defense network and drop nuclear weapons on the US mainland?

In the early 1950s, the United States was the only country capable of operating long-range bombers capable of dropping nuclear weapons.

Even excluding nuclear power, the claim that we might fight World War III with the Soviet Union was not objective when you look at it closely.

The Soviet Union, which was practically in ruins after fighting a bloodbath with Nazi Germany, is going to war with the United States?

Even in the Korean War, which was a battlefield where UN forces were dispatched, the Soviet Union was pushing in? Did they really think that?

So, not using nuclear weapons against communist China was an excuse and a design for the future, considering the political situation in the United States at the time. And the price for that excuse and design for the future is only being paid now, 70 or 80 years later.

“We have lost contact with our units conducting security operations in California and Washington state.”

“What are you talking about!”

“Didn’t you say that the evacuation was complete?”

“Does it make sense that there was a communication cut off during the exhibition?”

“It might be because of the EMP. Go to the scene and restore communications first.”

We were well prepared for a nuclear war. We believed we were well prepared. The United States had been preparing for a possible nuclear war for over 60 years.

Nuclear bunkers were installed in major cities, and the wealthy built private bunkers. But the wait was far too long.

The intense fear of nuclear war also subsided with the dissolution of the Soviet Union, the opening up and establishment of diplomatic relations with Communist China, and the unification of Germany.

Over the years, the once sturdy nuclear bunkers have become havens for the poor, refuges for drug addicts, strongholds for gangs and cartels, only to be abandoned or forgotten.

Old publisher’s magazines, expired canned goods, water jugs that may or may not have contained anything. The past, piled up like dust, was the reality of the shelter.

The sudden nuclear attack by China was something no one could have predicted, making the old reality even more painful. We might have been better prepared in the 70s and 80s.

One by one, information about the current situation began to arrive at the Strategic Command.

“The armored regiment waiting in the western region has evaporated!”

“It has been reported that mutant monsters from Yellowstone National Park are attacking nearby towns.”

“There’s been a massive outbreak of violence in the Kensington area of ​​Philadelphia! Reports of drug addicts turning violent.”

The damage was horrific beyond expectation. Except for a few major cities, including New York, and a few ruined cities in the Rust Belt, all healthy cities were reduced to rubble by the nuclear attack.

Everything went as planned.

Despite that.

Even so.

That’s why the Strategic Command started to turn everything into war.

Variants? Let the state government take care of that.

Drug dealers? Let the police or the National Guard take care of them.

The Strategic Command’s only goal is China.

What the Department of Defense wants is the annihilation of the enemy.

The song of war resounded.

Light the furnace of war.

Blood will boil and flames will rise to weld flesh and bones.

And so the revenge of steel begins!

war.

And war.

The last one standing will be the United States of America!

The first step was taken by the ROK-US Combined Forces.

A high-speed landing craft running through the yellow sea.

The soldiers’ faces were tense as they listened to the regular sound of the measuring device that measured residual radiation.

“The operational target is the Chinsan nuclear power plant.”

The operational objective was to secure, shut down, and decommission the nuclear power plant in Qinshan, near Shanghai.

“···After Alpha Team takes control of the central control room··· Bravo Team will cut off enemy support at the main entrance. After the nuclear power plant is dismantled, our mission is to disrupt the enemy rear to ensure a smooth landing operation. That’s all.”

There were no questions. The engine noise of the high-speed landing craft gradually died down.

Shanghai was devastated after being hit by a nuclear bomb.

Before China started firing nukes at US military bases, the US had no intention of dropping nukes on major Chinese cities.

Since many of the US military bases stationed in East Asia were located near civilian population centers or cities, a nuclear attack on a US military base would be tantamount to a nuclear attack on civilians and cities.

Since China attacked without caring whether they were civilians or cities, the US simply returned the blow. After being hit once, the US started beating them back with two, three, and just kept beating them.

Beep beep beep-

Beep- beep-

The needle on the radiation meter wavered.

As the nuclear decommissioning team began its operation, the ROK-US joint forces deployed to clear Shanghai were busy fighting Chinese troops popping out from all over the place.

“Is this what a fucking nuclear weapon is? Wasn’t it supposed to wipe everything out?”

“Shut up and shoot! 3 o’clock!”

“Why are you telling me to crawl in here when you could just carpet bomb me?”

“I told you they were hiding something!”

“Would these kids be this slimy if they had nothing? They’re acting like this because they have something.”

“Shut up you little shits. Shoot straight at 3 o’clock!”

Ta-da-da-dak!

“These kids are well armed.”

“What are you doing with the grenade launcher? Sweep it away!”

Doo doo doo doo!

There was a secret research lab in Shanghai that was researching a Chinese virus vaccine. After receiving intelligence that the underground lab was still intact despite being hit by a nuclear attack, a special forces unit comprised of the ROK-US alliance was deployed to Shanghai, risking urban combat.

“Check the entrance.”

“Enter.”

The unit quickly laid claymores and mines at the entrance and fled. The Chinese army pursued them.

“Don’t miss it! Catch it!”

Cook – The mine that flew into the air exploded as he stepped on the ground.

Even the tightly wrapped bulletproof vests could not block all the fragments of the mines that exploded at close range. The squad was torn apart in an instant, but the Chinese major immediately pushed his troops back.

“Throw the body!”

bang!

The claymore exploded, turning the area into a beehive.

“Keep going. Throw the body in and go in!”

As the Chinese army continued their pursuit by removing mines with corpses, a collapsed passage was revealed before their eyes.

“They’re heading underground. I think they’ve spotted the nest.”

[Chiik- ···We need more time. Stop it.]

What are we going to do with those bastards who are destroying the passage and coming in? The lieutenant shouted nervously, cutting off the communication as if he was destroying a radio.

“Bypass. All moving at full speed.”

Those who seek and those who hide, those who pursue and those who are pursued, begin to become entangled in the labyrinthine underground.

Homeland Security Director Dan Brown felt his heart sink.

This is because the military began to run wild, starting with the Strategic Command.

‘We must attack China now!’

‘We can’t give them time to regroup!’

‘What do we do when the mutants are attacking right now?’

‘The spread of mutant viruses is also a problem.’

‘The nuke has exploded and now we’re in a nuclear war.’

‘What if they keep producing more missiles and launching more nukes, when we don’t know how many more they have hidden?’

‘Now more than ever, our priority is to push China out and find and destroy all the nuclear weapons they have hidden.’

Considering the exchange of nuclear weapons, civilian casualties were smaller than expected. In contrast, military losses were greater than expected.

‘How can we attack immediately when we have no available troops?’

‘We have the Korean army.’

The Strategic Command reorganized the surviving federal and state defense forces and joined forces with the Korean military to attack mainland China. That was good.

Everything is good, but the problem is that they are ignoring the domestic situation and only trying to hit China.

“A radical terrorist group is causing terrorism in Europe?”

“They say it’s practically war.”

It was becoming difficult to even get support from Europe. In Britain and France, thousands of casualties began to occur each day. As if that wasn’t enough, strange things began to happen in Italy, especially in the Florence area.

“It is said that the number of people suspected of being infected with the mutant virus is increasing explosively.”

“They say the Virginia European branch is also in danger.”

“What about Vladislav Tower? Is it still not receiving communications?”

“It’s completely disconnected.”

When Vladimir Maru returned from Beijing, the Strategic Command and the military said they would manage him directly, but contact was lost after reporting that he was headed to the Vladislav Tower.

Surely nothing could have happened to Vladimir, but I couldn’t get in touch with him at all, so I couldn’t do my work.

Nuclear, mutant, mutated virus, monster, war, terrorism···.

Chief Dan Brown chewed the pills raw. In this situation, shouldn’t we all be united as one? But gangs, cartels, and criminals started to run wild. And drug dealers were added to the mix.

The bastards who were benefiting from the United States of America, began to gnaw at its flesh because they thought the United States of America was weakened. And to make matters worse, even separatists began to raise their heads.

“I told you to go yourself! Go yourself with the walkie-talkie!”

“All agents who entered Detroit have lost contact.”

“I went there three times, but they all disappeared.”

“Sir, here is the satellite data.”

This photo was taken near the Bradley Tower in Detroit.

“What is this···.”

A crowd of at least 200,000 people surrounded the Bloody Ark Tower. And nearby, there were black clouds.

“What is this?”

“They say there’s a high probability that it’s a flock of birds.”

“Bird? A bird?”

“The analysis results show that this is highly likely.”

What the fuck is this?
