RUST -279

Maru looked at Ms. Kim with resentful eyes.

‘Why? Why are you stirring up memories that you want to forget?’

‘Because it is the unavoidable truth.’

There is no way to escape the truth. Kim Yang accepted with a cold look in her eyes.

“I told you we’re not really engaged!”

“then?”

Even if she’s crazy, if she keeps doing this, doesn’t that mean there’s something going on?

“How would I know you’re doing this because you’re crazy!”

“So you did something that could be considered an engagement?”

So, like eating red bean rice cake, red bean rice cake, red bean rice cake, or slurping down ramen for a late-night snack.

“No. I didn’t need to give you that red bean-like look. Really.”

“But why is Na Ju-yeon like that?”

There must be a reason why he keeps talking about his fiancee, right? Maru felt suffocated by Kim Yang’s gaze.

Whatever the reason, the thing I wanted to avoid has finally happened.

What if the reason the federal government and military, who were appealing on the radio, confiscated their faces and pushed the children in, was to secure the recipe for a new drug?

If we were to be able to exclusively produce and distribute drugs in North America, even separatists would have no choice but to kneel. What if that was the decision?

“Stop it, it’s driving me crazy. Kids might keep dying like today.”

Why worry about that? Kim Yang frowned.

“Think positively. Now you won’t have to worry about missiles.”

If you tell them to hold out and cut open the ship, and the missile ending doesn’t come out, where is it? Wouldn’t it be safe to be next to a worthless bachelor?

Miss Kim scanned the floor up and down with bleary eyes.

‘They’ll come rushing in to raid, right?’

I looked around and got a quote, but it wasn’t possible. The guys who came earlier were the best, right? It was impossible with those guys. No matter how you looked at it, they were on a different level.

‘Capture? No way.’

After finishing the evaluation and estimate, Ms. Kim hesitated for a moment and then suddenly stopped.

What if Baekjeong gets caught? What about this building? If Baekjeong isn’t here, it’s mine. Wouldn’t he just take it away? The world is a mess, and even if you have a lot of money, it’s impossible to get a building like this. I had to protect it no matter what.

“Be honest with me.”

“what?”

“Real red bean···”

“I told you I didn’t use red beans or mugwort!”

“Then you’ll never go?”

“Don’t go!”

Did you really say you weren’t going? Did you say you were holding out? Did you really say you weren’t going no matter what?

“I’m not going!”

It seemed like she was starting to bloom slightly. It was Ms. Kim who decided to believe.

Among the special forces that crossed the outer wall of the Maru Tower, only two survived. Three teams of five entered, but only two survived. That number will soon be zero.

“Nothing else to say?”

Crunch!

“MOTHER F···.”

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Before he could finish speaking, Kim Yang, who had shot him in the head, head, and chest, aimed his gun at the man lying on the bed, panting.

“A. P in the chest···”

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Kim Yang, who pulled the trigger three times, took a deep breath. After speaking frankly, it turned out that neither the federal government nor the Strategic Command were in their right minds.

‘How long will the war last?’

‘Disarm the enemy’s nuclear weapons and destroy all nuclear-related facilities. And until revenge is complete.’

After China began shoving cannibals and mutant virus infected people into the refugee population, the civilized world’s wars ended.

It has also become commonplace to block entrances and destroy sewage facilities to let them rot inside. It has also become commonplace to detonate small tactical nuclear warheads converted into land mines in places where the ROK-US Combined Forces are advancing.

It was only natural that an entire area would be turned into a sea of ​​fire just by predicting that there might be an enemy.

No war can be clean, but the seven Chinese and US-ROK allies have begun a war that will not be recorded in history.

7 In China, a unit with mysterious human bodies, such as enhanced humans and modified humans, appeared and began to physically weaken the ROK-US combined forces.

The US Federal Army began to tear apart the flesh and break the bones of the 7th Chinese Army with various war machines, starting with exosuits and armored soldiers.

And in Ojin and Charlotte, they succeeded in mass producing a drug that could influence the situation.

A drug made by Ojin Pharmaceutical Group. A combat stimulant based on a drug called Angel Kiss or Kiss Angel, it was a drug that greatly increased the user’s concentration and responsiveness, while also stably enhancing physical abilities.

A drug made by the Charlotte Group. Berserker Fall. It was a drug that not only made you forget pain and fear, but also allowed you to use almost all of your body’s potential. The downside was that it caused fatal damage to the brain, but when combined with the treatment made by Ojin, it was possible to offset that downside.

As these two combat aids became available, the war situation began to change. 7 China also began administering various drugs to its soldiers, starting with crystals.

From a war for victory to a war for annihilation. From a war of technology and steel to a war of drugs and fabric. From a war of reason to a war of instinct.

While the First Coalition Army of 250,000 men was reduced to less than 150,000, the population of the region, which had once exceeded 50 million, became uncountable.

“So what do you think will happen in the future?”

In response to Maru’s question, Kim Yang reassembled the disassembled gun and spoke.

“Unit 2. Explain the situation.”

Samantha took over.

[They say the sea route is starting to get blocked.]

“Is it because of the barnacles?”

[Although barnacles are a problem, there is an increasing number of ships that are grounded due to unexplained engine failures.]

[In the future, it seems difficult to mobilize 1.2 million troops in the continental United States because there is no assurance that transport ships can be operated stably.]

There were other problems as well. The eleven states that declared secede were one issue, but the biggest problem was the spread of cannibalism and mutated viruses.

They had planned to mobilize 1.2 million, but the aftermath of the nuclear attack delayed the mobilization. To make matters worse, when cannibals, infected people, and monsters began to run rampant, the troops they had managed to mobilize were deployed to protect local communities.

Even if the federal government and Strategic Command raise their voices and make plans to deal with China first, there is no environment or ability to do so.

The 1.2 million US troops that were supposed to be mobilized were gone indefinitely, so they would have to leave the war with China without any gains. If things continued this way, they would be ‘unable to repay the debt.’ So that was the conclusion that the US chose.

[It was proposed that Korea and Japan join forces.]

Kim Yang and Maru both looked dumbfounded at the same time.

[The aftermath of the disaster is believed to have left between 20 million and 30 million casualties in Japan, but even assuming the maximum number, Japan’s remaining population would be over 80 million.]

[The combined population of Korea and Japan is over 130 million, and it is thought that the military force could be expanded to 4 million through forced conscription in Japan.]

Can we push China to 5.8 million by combining 1.8 million from Korea and 4 million from Japan?

“Will Japan ever be in that situation?”

[Realistically, without American aid, Japan’s survival is uncertain. Regardless of whether it will work or not, it is not a situation where it can refuse what the United States says.]

“They said the transport ship was cut off.”

[Especially if you can’t get aid from the United States.]

[The reality in Japan is that it must survive even if it means entangling itself with Korea.]

Japan still has no central government, so how can they conscript and who can they join forces with? What on earth are they thinking? There’s no way the federal government or the Strategic Command wouldn’t know about this.

‘Ha- You said that on purpose.’

If the US, which has lost the power to continue the war, wants to continue the war with China? Even if it is a little sorry, Korea had to take the lead. About 91.1%?

[The simplest and most certain way to improve the present situation in the United States is to secure the recipe for the New Drug.]

“Since it’s an emergency, wouldn’t it be okay to just ask for the recipe?”

[He said that he would not give up the recipe even if he died unless he found a fiancé.]

Then Virginia will say, ‘Thank you. Rest in peace.’ Even if it’s not Virginia, there will be plenty of people who will say, ‘Good, rest in peace.’

[It is said that if she dies, is seriously injured in an accident, becomes unconscious, is under drugs, or is brainwashed, it is a security system that automatically destroys all data.]

They asked for the recipe in China, but of course they refused. Chinese special forces tried to assassinate me several times, saying, “Let’s all eat shit together.” To prevent that, there was chaos in Virginia and Korea as well.

[The Korean government has repeatedly called for a grand decision, but to no avail. The international community has also requested that the recipe be shared on humanitarian grounds, but this has been refused.]

So, even if the world is ruined, you don’t need anything and just bring Maru. Kim Yang looked a little surprised. She was really crazy. She ignored Uncle Sam, the UN, and everything?

[A new drug is being developed, and it is said to be a drug that can only kill mutant barnacles. It has already been proven effective and safe in the laboratory, and field trials are still pending. The conditions for sharing the recipe are said to be the same.]

It was about time for a voice to call for you to go for the sake of humanity.

“Fuck···.”

Maru just stood up in despair.

“where?”

“You have to clean it up. You’re not going to ask someone else to do it.”

The speed is frustrating. At times like that, cleaning is the best.

As the body was loaded onto a hand cart and taken out of the building, crows that had been sitting far away flew up silently as if to greet the porch.

There were quite a few birds of all kinds, but it seemed like they had chased away all the other birds, so only the crows were gathered there.

The movement of crows circling silently above the head of the floor. The flight without the sound of flapping wings was amazing to watch over and over again.

When I climbed up the outer wall, I saw traces that were still there. Strangely, the corpse on the outer wall was not touched. Judging from the fact that it didn’t stick its beak out carelessly, it was clear that the crow was smart.

Feed. Feed. Feed me.

Damn. Is it because I’m so hungry? Maru shook his head and started throwing the corpses out of the outer wall. Even though the corpses were far away, they were fed. They were fed. The crows were just spinning around and not attacking.

Why are these like this?

‘if?’

No way… That can’t be true. Maru said, pointing with his finger at the corpse he had thrown far away, half in doubt.

“Eat.”

To my horror, the crows began to descend in a single line, their flight paths twisting as they circled around. Instead of the sound of flapping wings, there was the sound of flesh and bones breaking for a moment. The 15 corpses disappeared without leaving a single bone fragment.

As if nothing had happened, the crows that had been spinning around above Maru’s head split into small groups and scattered in all directions. However, the largest group still did not leave the sky above Maru’s head.

‘Did you put honey on my head?’

The feeling of crows circling quietly shaking.

Feed. Feed. Live feed.

White smoke was rising from a direction that felt ticklish. CS bullets or white phosphorus bullets. Maru immediately called Ms. Kim and grabbed her ripper suit.

“Smoke trail detected at 3 o’clock. Rooftop check required.”

[Okay.]

[A group of people moving to avoid engagement was discovered.]

[Armament status cannot be confirmed due to smoke.]

[It looks like it’s coming this way.]

You don’t know who it is?

A thought occurred to me. Wouldn’t the crows know?

‘Food? I felt like it was live food.’

[Organized?]

How could anyone be happy with those who rush into Detroit, a place overflowing with cannibals and mutated viruses? Besides, Maru was a living treasure right now.

“Clean it up.”

TUNG- A heavy gunshot rang out from the rooftop. At the same time, the crows moved as if they had understood the words, ‘Clean up.’
