RUST -320

The crows began to swarm and pick out the people.

“No. I said no!”

“I just said it was weird once! Is it a crime to just say something?”

“Look at these crows.”

“It’s the devil.”

“You all saw it. Is it normal for crows to understand each other?”

“Everyone is crazy. They are crazy!”

“You are being deceived by the devil! Even the rat was summoned by the devil!”

“Everyone is being deceived. It’s all a set-up!”

Like it or not, the crows were ruthless.

Aren’t you human anyway? Knock knock – If you don’t go out, your eyes will be poked?

Caw?

Kkaaaak!

“Eyes- my eyes.”

It was a crow that didn’t really eat the snail, but rather pecked at the eyeball to scare it. After that, people didn’t fight back and just stepped aside.

“What is this? It’s too much.”

There were too many this time. They said there would be 20 to 30 people, but now I see there were easily over 40.

[It’s because of my family.]

What if one of the family members called Maru a devil? Let’s say the parents said so, but what about the child? Let’s say they’re relatives, but what about family?

“That’s ridiculous. You said it was a devil, but when I tell it to come out, it doesn’t come out. Why?”

So you want to go into the safe tower that the devil’s child made and kill the devil? You want to hunt the devil in the devil’s den? Then what about that safe den?

The most absurd thing of all was that this was what happened when I saved him from being surrounded by a swarm of rats and almost dying. Did he go crazy after catching the rats?

Or is there something wrong with the brain? When infected with a mutant virus, various symptoms occur. The most representative one is intermittent explosive disorder, but there are various symptoms including asymptomatic ones.

One of those kinds?

What on earth do you believe in to be able to say something like that? PD’s face turned red with embarrassment at Maru’s dumbfounded expression.

If you kill, you see, it’s the devil.

If you leave it behind, look at it. Look at it. It’s the devil. It’s the devil.

If you tell them to go back, look, they do it because we say they are the devil.

If we take him, the devil is after us.

It was clear that they were just trying to brand him as a devil and then use the topic to manipulate and shake him up. This is a method that politicians and religious people often use.

Even looking at the faces of the people classified, many of them were from specific regions or religious groups.

‘I thought it was strange, so I eliminated him during the interview. Was he expanding his influence here?

The HOLY advertisement also drew the attention of the pseudo-cults. The pseudo-cults with considerable influence were filtered out at the entrance, but after that, they entered places where people gathered voluntarily and seemed to be gradually expanding their influence.

[I have nothing to say.]

PD was furious. He couldn’t just leave them alone. Parasites. There were many places in regular churches that were ruined because of those things. This situation will only get worse because it’s the end.

Maru was honestly tired. He thought they were people who wouldn’t betray him, but the betrayal wasn’t the problem, he almost took them to a bigger mess. It was fortunate that he found them now.

Why would you want to go to that devil’s house with me? Maru’s thoughts were simple.

“Those of you who said, ‘Devil, what should I do?’, go your own way.”

As if waiting for Maru to finish speaking, one person spoke up.

“Hasn’t it been said that the Son of Man does not leave even one lost sheep? Listen to what he says. How can the Savior say such things?”

The PD, who had guessed their reaction, was upset. What if he couldn’t stand the low-level provocation and killed the authors? It would really be a mess. The PD stepped in first to prevent that situation.

[Shut up! You evil spirits who see but don’t see and hear but don’t listen! Even animals recognize the person who saved them! Do you have a conscience? Do you have a conscience and yet you condemn the person who saved your life as a devil?]

Maru spoke to those who were trying to nitpick at the PD’s rebuke. If they wanted to die, they could have just killed them. The atmosphere became cold with a small leak of murderous intent.

Should I really kill him?

No way… If you kill us, we’ll all go out?

In an instant, the air became heavy and even those who were nitpicking closed their mouths.

“There is no need or reason for us to get involved with each other.”

Maru continued speaking, looking around.

“And if there’s anything suspicious or if you feel like this isn’t right, you can go with these people. You can also go separately. There’s no obligation at all. Since you didn’t go out that far, it won’t be long before you go back, right?”

There was still plenty of food left in the Walmart Fortress. With fewer people around, the food we left behind was enough to last us a long time. So even if we didn’t go to the Ark Tower, we wouldn’t have any trouble surviving.

“Is there anyone who wants to go over there? If not, we’ll leave.”

The PD’s expression relaxed a little. There may have been some people who were shaken by the words “the devil” or something, but no one seemed to want to go that way.

As Maru took the lead, people followed behind him in a long line. Kim Yang, at the very end of the line, looked at the devils and all, with dead eyes.

As Ms. Kim, muttering to a strange rhythm, thrust the 12.7mm gun with dark eyes, those who had been shouting at her back, “What the devil?” became quiet.

After some time, Ms. Kim turned around without hiding her ominous expression.

‘We should have just wiped out all the reactionaries.’

I was waiting for an opportunity to catch even a single piece of tail and use it, but these guys were so observant that I didn’t catch them. Then, Kim Yang’s eyes caught sight of a few crows sitting on a tree branch.

Hmm-

Then wouldn’t it be okay if I just didn’t shoot?

hmm-

Nurse No. 1 is sure to say something strange. A crow meets the eyes of Ms. Kim, who is thinking about this and that. She tilts her head from preening her feathers. What are you looking at?

?

As Kim Yang tilted his head, the crow tilted its head in the same direction.

Let’s tilt it in the opposite direction again and it tilts back the same way.

!

An exclamation mark appeared above Kim Yang’s head.

“Oh? The guy you saw in that hospital room?”

Caaaak!

“Oh. Nice to meet you. But would you like to try some of the big, black ones? I caught five of them.”

Caaaak!

The crow’s eyes, which were preening its feathers, seemed to shine brightly. The crow, which had been tilting its head, was now nodding up and down.

“You understand what I’m saying, right? I’m not just going to give it to you.”

Caw!

It wasn’t like I was calling Unit 1. The less people knew about this, the better.

“There are reactionaries who need to be eliminated quietly and without a sound. Do you know what I mean by reactionary?”

Huh?

Do you think they understand what I’m saying? They’ll understand once they try it.

“That means they’re the ones that need to be killed. So we need some guys that can use their beaks and claws quietly and well. The price is the five big guys I mentioned earlier.”

Kaaaak-

[What’s going on?]

[······.]

The PD spoke carefully after a moment of silence.

[Those people a little while ago.]

[Uh- Those people from earlier?]

[Yes, those who insulted him.]

[···Why are you talking about those people?]

The nurse reacted sensitively. As if she didn’t want to think about those people. The PD also knew that feeling, so he got straight to the point.

[I don’t think it will be good.]

[······.]

Ono Nanae could immediately see the hidden meaning in the PD’s words that it would not be good. She agreed. Those with such malicious intentions would definitely plot something bad. So?

[Would you please send me some crows?]

[Huh? Yes?]

Send them a crow?

[What would happen if they kept talking nonsense?]

You have to kill the devil. If you kill the devil of the end, you can go back to the old days. What if you slander him like that? What if, ridiculously, people who are deluded by that start to appear?

It is a well-known fact that it is difficult to change an image once it has been established. Especially in times like these. So, wasn’t the PD also putting in effort to establish a positive image of a prophet, a leader, and a savior?

But what if they don’t die and go around spreading nonsense? Like bringing around ominous hell crows, or the demons of the apocalypse bringing death? What if they go around agitating people? The area around the Ark Tower would be filled with death.

[···So?]

When the nurse asked openly, the PD’s eyes sank.

[We need divine punishment.]

The idea was to use crows to get rid of them all. If they were crows, they could do it. They also had the brains to understand the situation.

[······.]

The nurse looked up at the sky without saying a word. She looked at the thousands of crows forming a large circle without a sound, and then she shook her head, lost in thought for a moment.

[I understand what you are saying, but I cannot agree with it.]

[Yes? Why? Please think about it again.]

[no.]

The nurse’s voice became stern.

[There are already people who view crows as ominous. So, are we going to dispose of them with crows?]

[That’s why. Isn’t it obvious that they’ll start spreading ominous rumors? We need to take action before that happens.]

[No. What if there are survivors or if there are people who witness the scene from afar? Are you going to kill them all too?]

[······.]

[Crows should be spirits that protect people and live with people. They should not be creatures of fear.]

The PD slightly bowed his head at the nurse’s harsh attitude and stepped back.

Who doesn’t know that? But if it’s going to harm his future, if it’s going to be harmful, shouldn’t he clean it up beforehand even if it gets on his hands? If he doesn’t want to get shit all over his body, can he avoid getting shit on his hands?

But then the sky became noisy for a moment. After a while, about 10 to 12 percent of the crows moved to the back of the line.

[What’s going on?]

Kaaaak!

[You got some work?]

Do they work too? Oh? They do. They do border guards. They also seem to do surveillance sometimes.

[Is this something he asked you to do?]

Kkiyukiyuk kaaaaak

[Yes? A dish of reactionaries like Kkiyongkiyong?]

I could clearly understand the meaning, but it didn’t connect with the image of the nurse. Anyway, it didn’t seem like there was a big problem with the crows.

[I don’t know, but everyone, be careful.]

Kaaaak-

The PD, who was watching what the nurse and the crow were doing, suddenly looked back.

no way?

It was PD Kim Yang who came to mind.

New York.

Director Dan Brown realized that he had to eliminate the cannibals from the entity that was commanding them.

In order to revive the land of the United States and plant seeds, weeding was essential. No matter how many branches and stems you cut off, weeds quickly grow back if their roots remain.

“Fuck.”

The problem was that these were not just weeds, they were encroaching on farmland.

Dan Brown unconsciously bit his lip. Most of New York’s gangs, mafia, and cartels were infected with a cannibalistic disease.

This means that most of their members boast physical abilities that are 2-3 times greater than those of average adults. The physical differences, and not just small differences, but differences of 200%-300%, lead to differences in combat power.

Even if the weapons were good and the equipment was up-to-date, the people who used them were people, so the casualties suffered by agents fighting against criminal organizations were increasing at a rapid rate.

“Director! It’s dangerous if we continue like this.”

I had to keep pushing, even though it was dangerous. So that they wouldn’t notice.

“Tell them to keep pushing. Tell the kids in Block 23 to hold out no matter what.”

“Director!”

There might be spies within the Department of Homeland Security, so Dan Brown kept the real purpose of the operation a secret. After a while, the news that Dan Brown had been waiting for came.

[Chiiik- Control device secured.]

Director Den Brown’s distorted face straightened a little.

“Once we secure it, we’ll launch an all-out attack. Tell the SWAT team to come in too. We have to clear it out in one go!”

[All right.]

We had to stop the nukes from falling into the hands of cannibals.

‘You have to hit the head. The head.’

Director Den Brown looked at the large sword mark on the map.

He needed it..
