RUST -327

It came.

Geese Riser was confused as to what he was feeling right now. Didn’t he just hear Mother Henna being cut down without even being able to scream?

I could understand why Mother Henna, even when faced with the fear of death, still lusted after it. Hadn’t she also targeted Vladimir Kalin on several occasions?

I even tried to enlist him in the military and use him for public use, and I even tried to take a nurse hostage and capture her. I even tried everything I could, including using people with psychic abilities to control them.

When everything had failed and he was stuck in Detroit and was about to give up, he came to New York on his own two feet… It was definitely something to be happy about, but things weren’t as they should have been.

“Hahahahaha- this is it.”

Persuasion?

You have to be able to talk, whether you try to persuade or not.

Did you hear the sound of Mother’s hair being cut just a little while ago?

What kind of being is Mother?

It was a being that could practically control cannibals.

There’s no way he didn’t know that, but he just hit the sashimi. It means that a cannibal is cut to pieces without any questions or answers.

“Henna. Henna Spring. If you go, go quietly, and make sure to take an artistic shit while you’re at it.”

Now that Mother is dead, the cannibals she had been controlling will run wild, unable to control their ever-increasing appetites. The cannibals’ advantage of being able to hide among the general public has been lost.

“What do you want to do? Turn the structure into a battle?”

Now that Henna Spring is dead, what are we going to do with the elite force we sent?

“Retreat.”

Didn’t you hear the sound of cutting just now?

If she was an elite and had that, she had to be properly prepared. Above all, since she was dead, it was obvious that things would get messy.

“All right.”

“We’re closing down our headquarters and moving everything to Cocoon.”

Now was the time to cut ties.

With her Familia’s collapse, it was obvious that a cannibalism epidemic would erupt in New York, which would end in a witch hunt.

“If something happens before you can settle down, there is no way to turn it back.”

Perhaps if you think about the worst, summary execution will begin.

“There is a suppressant, should I just kill him?”

Taking the cure would control his violent or cannibalistic urges. Without the medicine, I wouldn’t know, but would he kill even with the medicine?

“If it were normal, it would have been like that, but not now. The fact that they attacked the party venue almost simultaneously while clearing out the police and military means that they will respond strongly.”

The streets of New York were bright at night. Sirens and gunshots began to ring out between the brightly lit signs. The aftermath of Mother’s death had begun.

Tadadadang!

The loud sound of automatic rifles.

The news that the New York police are deploying automatic rifles means that the cannibals have been dealt with.

The Kiss Riser didn’t miss it.

‘Director Dan Brown would try to liquidate the pharmaceutical company, even if it meant invoking the Homeland Security Act.’

Those DHS guys were security freaks. They would do anything for the United States. The Virginia company guys and the DHS guys.

The people involved in the pharmaceutical facility, which is a critical facility, will try to verify it more strictly. Above all, they will try to get high when it is in New York.

‘Are you planning to rebuild around the Department of Homeland Security? You’re planning to secure at least the eastern region, starting with New York.’

then···.

It was said that the matter would not end with moving materials and personnel to the cocoon.

Geese Riser looked out the window.

A scene where the hunter is reduced to the prey.

Sirens and gunfire. Cannibals being defeated individually and people swarming in groups to attack. The prey is hunting the predator.

‘Those fucking idiots…’

Would it be the end if we identified the cannibals? No.

If the war with China had not broken out? If the mutant virus had not spread and created mutants and monsters, humanity would have gone extinct soon after irreversibly destroying the Earth’s environment.

So, maybe, the evolution into a new human race through cannibalism might have been crucial to reviving the Earth. We needed someone to eliminate and control the old humans who were destroying the Earth, and that might be the role of the new human race.

Anyway, what the new human race needs now is.

‘position.’

The new humans also needed a proper base and a place where they could have a stable supply of human flesh.

‘Philadelphia, Virginia is difficult···.’

The South, centered around Texas, declared secession from the Union. The South was the first region to have friction with the East, which was trying to rebuild the Union.

The remaining regions are Central, Northern, and Western.

The central region had vast farmlands, including the Corn Belt, but what the new humans needed more than farmland was people.

Population. Dense population at that. So it was the West.

The West, which was connected to the most densely populated areas of China, India, and Southeast Asia through the Pacific Ocean and had a sufficient population in itself, was the most suitable region to make a new human home.

Had to go west.

how?

A dark sky entered the eyes of the Kiss Riser.

An airship was needed.

And now was the perfect time, because it was on the ground.

======

======

[It is said that the military has succeeded in expelling the cannibals.]

[The New York Police Department also succeeded in rounding up all the cannibals.]

Dan Brown clenched his fists at the following report. Starting with the arrest of the command center, the fact that all the remaining men had been identified meant that the first phase of the operation had been successful.

“What happened next?”

The stage of arresting all those with circumstances related to cannibals.

[Firms on Wall Street are closing their gates and demanding warrants.]

[The powerful families have moved into buildings prepared for the apocalypse and have cut off contact with the outside world.]

“Even though you said that the cannibals were plotting a coup and that they should be tracked down?”

[Yes. They are strongly opposing it, saying that due process must be followed.]

That was right. That was right.

Is spitting something that requires a court order?

Who would have thought there were so many parasites plaguing the United States of America?

“Arrest all those connected to powerful families and such. If they resist, deal with them on the spot.”

[Are you talking about immediate action?]

“okay.”

[······.]

It was clear that there would be talk that the Department of Homeland Security had acted unilaterally. It might even backfire. But Dan Brown was adamant.

It was something that the crippled former director should have done and died for, but it turned out that Dan Brown ended up getting covered in shit.

So? We’re afraid of sewage, so let’s just leave the parasites alone?

Dan Brown had no intention of doing so. Now was the time to wipe out everything that was eating away at the United States.

“This is just a necessary response in accordance with the National Security Act. I will take full responsibility for the future. Proceed.”

[···All right.]

The cannibalism diagnostic kit that Vladimir brought was simple and intuitive to use. All you had to do was spit into a white paper cup.

There was no need to pick your nose or use any reagents or anything. Just spit and anyone could tell the difference. But you refuse that?

“Those who resist will be executed immediately, but those who are taken away without resistance will demand medical treatment.”

“······.”

That’s right. The more cunning the guys were, the higher the probability of that happening.

But now, don’t they have a blade that can uproot them? The heartless Vladimir Kalin was slaughtering cannibals. If you throw it there, it will take care of itself.

“Don’t worry about it, there’s a way. Riser, check the Monad constraints first.”

“Ah. I guess that’s necessary so that there are no disruptions in the production of the cure. Okay.”

After the agent left, Director Dan Brown leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes.

Becoming a cannibal did not mean that one’s appearance changed to that of a mutant.

It was almost the same as before I got it, except my skin was clearer, my physical abilities had improved, and I looked more energetic overall.

That alone is enough to create a favorable impression, but Mother, the commanding entity, has the aura of a predator added to the charm of a cannibal.

Why do we find carnivores beautiful? Why are we attracted to lions and tigers? Why do we find them attractive even though we know they are carnivores and dangerous?

Perhaps it was closer to an instinctive reaction. A natural reaction that is difficult for the prey to refuse the favor of the predator.

It is said that there were quite a few sacrifices in the military because the aura of the commanding entity was an intangible energy that was usually difficult for humans to reject.

A similar situation occurred during the New York Police Department’s crackdown on gangs, mafia, and cartels.

Especially when the commanding officer was a woman, the damage to the strike force consisting of men was severe. Even if they were not cannibals, it was not easy to refuse to talk to an attractive woman who spoke to them.

‘It didn’t work on Vladimir Kalin.’

The footage captured by the tactical camera was clearly heterogeneous.

The youngest woman to become deputy mayor of New York City. It’s surprising that Hannah Springs was the commanding entity, Mother, but the fact that she cut off her hand before she could even speak is shocking.

Even though he and his subordinates knew that the commanding officer was in danger, her charm was so great that they first thought, ‘Shouldn’t we listen to her story?’

‘Even cannibals can be okay if they take the cure.’ It was certainly true, to the point where excuses like that came to mind naturally.

But what about Vladimir Kalin, who cut that mother to pieces with one stroke? Everyone was surprised by his cold-blooded handling, but Director Dan Brown was different. The person we need most right now is someone like him.

[Director! Cannibals are causing violent incidents all over the city.]

[They say that due to violent crime and gun incidents, they can no longer provide backup.]

Without the NYPD’s 40,000-strong backup force, it would be difficult for the Department of Homeland Security to carry out the decapitation operation on its own.

‘They’ve struck first. Are they trying to escape in the confusion?’

If so, selection and focus were necessary.

“First, sort out the Riser constraints and Monad constraints.”

[All right.]

“There is a possibility that their command center will escape while in disarray. Control the roads leading to the outskirts and eliminate any blind spots in the CCTV.”

[All right.]

Director Dan Brown’s eyes turned to the shining New York City outside the window.

Antarctic exploration support airship.

The name included the word “exploration support” and it seemed to have nothing to do with military use, but in truth, it was a prototype of a super-large airship construction project promoted by the Army. It was an airship with a payload capacity of nearly 100 tons, far exceeding the 10 to 12 tons currently in operation in the civilian sector.

Kaaaak!

“Oh, you worked hard. Snacks will be available in a bit.”

While I was patting the crows on the back, several crows returned and raised their voices.

Caw.

Cackle. Cackle!

“People shot guns?”

Crows getting excited, saying that they were suddenly shot while on patrol.

Kirkir?

Can I kill those kids?

The nurse tried to calm them down. They are not parrots, but they can sometimes imitate sounds well. They imitate cat sounds, dog barking, and recently they have even started imitating words that people use.

“No. What did he say? Only cannibals and infected people attack. Remember?”

Caw? Caw?

So? If I shoot you, you’re just going to get hit?

“That doesn’t fit. It’s okay even if it does fit.”

Caw. Caw!

It’s okay. It hurts!

“Okay, I’ll tell him. You must have had a hard time patrolling.”

The nurse distributed snacks after confirming that the crows that had been out on patrol had returned. This snack was special jerky.

Although Ms. Kim was furious, asking if it was right for a crow to be given special jerky, she could not change Maru’s decision to provide the crow with a special meal, saying that since he was on a business trip, he deserved to be treated well.

The crows who tasted the special jerky brought that way were very satisfied. Even the crows who were excited about almost getting shot were busy savoring the jerky.

“Well, you see? You know what he’s been through and what he’s prepared for you. You should be thankful.”

Look at these docile crows. Isn’t this indeed his foresight? The nurse’s faith grew stronger.

[The riser constraints are weird.]

Hood’s communications as he hacks into major New York businesses and government agencies.

[We are trying to delete the data at the headquarters and move it to a place called Cocoon.]

Maru reacted to those words. Are you trying to run away?

[Go to the Riser Pharmaceuticals headquarters. Can you operate?]

[Yes, I will start now.]

Maru started running according to the guidance indicator that appeared on the HUD.
