RUST -330
Wow-
The elevator rumbled up and down as the guys inside the hood and executive elevator began a tug-of-war over hacking.
“Will it take long?”
[-No. The computers and artificial intelligence they use are better than expected···.]
So, you’re saying that you’re fighting with just a modified laptop.
Big- Hmm- Maru coughed softly. ‘Who said what?’ I just asked how long it would take.
Kaaaak!
Caw-
A flock of crows swooped down, probably looking for someone who had escaped through the emergency exit. They folded their wings and used the long feathers at the end to finely steer the direction, showing a skill that rivaled that of birds of prey.
Wheeeeeek
Aaaah!
They dive-bombered down and flew past their target with their claws, tearing apart the flesh as dozens of crows swooped past, leaving behind only tattered chunks of meat.
Oh-Maru exclaimed in surprise.
Steep dives, continuous attacks, and air brakes using wing blades, rapid acceleration and climbs, boom and zoom, and even an imbelman turn. These crows showed off a variety of flight techniques that could be considered by some to be fighter aces from World War I and II.
As if they knew that Maru was impressed, some kids started doing more and more extreme, aerobatic things.
Even though they were watching the crows attack, the fight between Hood and the executive elevator was not over.
Sling-
Maru, who had drawn his sword, spoke to Hood.
“Don’t worry about me and just keep doing what you’re doing.”
[yes yes.]
As Hood answered, the blade swung by Maru dug into the elevator door, which had anti-terrorist capabilities.
Kkuddududduk-
Kwajijijijik-
Maru, who had cut the door panel of the executive elevator on the first floor into four pieces, jumped down the elevator shaft.
Kung- thud- thud-
The severed door made a dull sound as it hit the ceiling of the executive elevator. Startled by the sound, perhaps delayed in its reaction during the hacking battle, the elevator, which had descended slightly, quickly rose upward.
-Up. It’s on the ceiling!-
-Shoot! Shoot the ceiling!-
-This is a special elevator. It’s bulletproof.-
-What if I shoot here?-
-I told you it’s up there!-
-Fuck.-
-Be quiet. Over there, through the emergency exit on the ceiling-
I could hear the faint murmur of men beneath the ceiling of the elevator I was stepping on. I thought the Geese Raiser was a man, but it seemed like a woman was leading the way.
‘Is that guy Riser stuck in a panic room or something?’
There was no need to talk too much. The world is like this, and I, too, have become quite savage. Maru suddenly had such thoughts. What should I do?
I don’t plan on going out and creating a clean and clear world, but I think it would be good to clean up the trash that I see in front of me. In many ways.
The emergency door on the elevator ceiling opened slightly and a gun barrel popped out. When I kicked the door, the startled man fired his gun.
The elevator shaft was filled with the sound of gunfire, and judging by his actions, he didn’t appear to be properly trained.
Is this something you do to see how people will react with the meat shield?
Clank clank.
Huuuuuu
‘What’s the reaction?’
Tsk-
As I stabbed my knife into the sound coming from under the emergency exit I was stepping on, the floor became silent in an instant. I lifted the emergency exit slightly with my toes and inserted two grenades through the gap in the floor.
-Eww-
-Ahhhhh-
-Grenade-Grenade-
The screams and shouts were drowned out by the explosion of grenades.
[Chistle squeak – the door – squeak – opens-]
Those with wounds all over their bodies came out first, followed by a woman under heavy guard.
‘These kids. They’re cannibals and they’re joking.’
Well, you must have been surprised because you’ve never tested a grenade on your body. Now that you’ve experienced it with your own body, not just experimental data, you must be feeling proud.
The hood took advantage of the gap created by the floor and took complete control of the surrounding electronic devices. It succeeded in controlling sensors such as motion detectors and load detectors, as well as infrared cameras and CCTVs.
[I have taken control of the surrounding electronic devices.]
It was a hood that never missed an opportunity.
Realizing that the hacking could not be stopped, the woman surrounded by bodyguards called out to Maru.
“Mr. Vladimir Kalin. I know you are here. Can I talk to you for a moment?”
The men, mangled by grenade fragments, scanned their surroundings.
“I’m wearing a Ripper suit with stealth capabilities. Be careful.”
“yes.”
A woman giving a small warning to her bodyguards.
I thought that woman would know where the gas riser was.
Maru’s gaze turned to the laptop the woman was holding. She came out with a laptop that was damaged here and there by grenade fragments? It seemed like there was a reason she didn’t throw away the damaged laptop.
Mungkul – A reddish-brown feeling of murderous intent engulfed the space in an instant. The faces of those who had been excited by the grenade turned pale.
Ugh
Ugh
Those who had difficulty breathing as if their lungs and hearts were being seized by the murderous spirit began to kneel and struggle for air.
As the guys came out, clutching their necks and chests and throwing away their guns, Maru started finishing them off.
Just a light stabbing and pulling action. Even if it was a tough and hard cannibal, if you stabbed and twisted its neck with Eclipse, that was the end of it.
Indeed. A fleeting and vain ending.
I tried to resist with my frozen limbs in an attempt to escape from my inevitable death, but it was meaningless in the face of the certain result.
Phew-
The blade is stuck
Woodduck-
The blade twisted his neck.
“My. My. My…”
Pook- Woodduddeuk-
Like a farmer harvesting a wheat field, like a slaughterer slaughtering livestock. It was even more frightening because it was a cold action without any hatred or anger.
Maru had no intention of leaving him alive. Didn’t he experience that when he caught the vice mayor?
When I first ate these, I couldn’t resist, but after experiencing them once, I was able to endure them. So, those who have now experienced them are destined to be dealt with.
The eyes of the woman who lost all her staff, including her bodyguards, in an instant were empty. You said you were going to capture this thing alive? Is this kind of thing the same life form?
‘New Humanity?’
The woman somehow snickered. It was meaningless in front of the new human race and the Nabal. Did Chairman Geese Riser know about this? If he knew, why didn’t he stop it?
If I had blocked it, there would have been complaints, because the people who remained were all either people with a strong sense of honor or people who were dissatisfied with their promotions or treatment.
Above all, she felt that if there was even a little bit of a trigger, she could go one step further. In other words, she felt that she, too, could become a commanding entity.
I thought that if I got away from Chairman Geese Riser, I might have a chance. I hid it, but did they see through it? That’s why I told them to do it without asking twice?
Maru frowned at the sight of the woman smiling strangely.
‘Isn’t this crazy?’
Still, there was one thing left, so Maru asked the woman without expecting much.
“Hey. Where’s the gas riser?”
“I went to the western region.”
uh?
Quick answer?
Maru, who thought that he would not answer, quietly put down the knife.
What the heck, you bitch.

A fleet of 11 ships, including two medium-sized to large-sized cruise ships and a super-luxury yacht, cut through the waves.
“They say the patrol ship will escort us all the way to Mexican waters.”
“Thank you, but I decline.”
“ancient.”
The chief secretary spoke cautiously.
“I guess the damage isn’t as bad as I thought.”
Compared to the Pacific 7th Fleet, which was rumored to have lost 80 to 90 percent of its strength, the Atlantic 2nd Fleet seemed to have more left than expected.
“I don’t know how much time we have left, but since the Hampton Naval Base in Virginia is gone, we’re going to have to make a choice one way or the other.”
The largest forces at the time were the East, centered around New York, and the South, centered around Texas.
So, the East, which was trying to rebuild the Federation, and the South, which was declaring secession from the Federation and going its own way. The remaining fleet had to choose between the two.
“There is a possibility that the fleet will split in two.”
“It’s highly unlikely.”
“The military’s decision will be difficult.”
“Ah- I guess so. But I still have to decide.”
Depending on which side you choose, the future will change. The idea of disbanding the federal government had deeper roots than you might think. It was intertwined with problems of industrial structure, resource distribution, and even racial conflict.
It’s quiet right now because survival is the priority due to the aftermath of nuclear war, but problems are only going to explode soon.
“Because soldiers’ salaries will be a problem first.”
Ironically, the United States dollar was not a currency issued by the government. Simply put, it was a system in which private companies printed money and used it in circulation by the government.
During the Pax Americana era, the pros and cons could be ignored. When the United States was a solid federation, the dollar could take on the risks, but what about today?
Geese Riser’s eyes turned towards the deep blue sea.
Does Director Dan Brown know that his patriotic efforts to rebuild the United States and revive our great Union are only serving someone else’s interests?
In Geese’s view, people like Director Den Brown were those who refused to acknowledge that the old world was over.
But it’s just a matter of time. As time goes by, one year, two years, and so on, you’ll have to admit that everything has changed.
‘So, have sweet dreams now.’
Because any dreams you have from now on will always be nightmares.
Whether the new human race will become the dominant species or the old human race will rise again, history has always given the same answer.
Only those who actively respond to change and can flexibly cope with change survive.
Isn’t that what survival of the fittest is all about?
“That’s too bad.”
He was quite a useful talent. Geese Riser, who remembered Nina Logan, the first secretary who had remained at headquarters, saying that he would capture Vladimir Kalin, felt a rare sense of regret.
Just as the one who had been rolling around under Deputy Mayor Henna Spring had evolved into a commanding entity, Nina Logan also showed signs of evolution.
Conflicting feelings. There was a mixture of discomfort at the thought that the secretary might become a commanding entity and anticipation that if she could handle her subordinates well, even if they became mothers, her power would grow and become more solid.
Nina Logan also instinctively knew that her evolution didn’t have much time left, so she said she would stay at headquarters, and I told her to do so without saying a word. But it was still a shame.
“If it’s Nina Logan, we can do it. Even if we can’t capture her alive, we can at least temporarily disable her.
The chief secretary thought it was possible, having analyzed the footage of Vladimir Kalin in action so many times. He was certainly an excellent swordsman, but he thought it was worth a try, since the mercenaries had evolved into new humans equipped with various cutting-edge equipment.
“I hope so.”
After giving a short answer, Geese Riser looked out at the vast ocean.

The Homeland Security Operations Control Room was abuzz again.
It was because of the story that when I gave the airship to Vladimir Kalin, he brought back crows that looked like mutated monsters. And there were thousands of them.
[Do something about them. They came pouring out of the airship.]
The New York Police Commissioner complained that reports of crows dismembering people alive are pouring in on social media and YouTube.
[Please help me before the terrified people cause an accident.]
“Okay, I see.”
Director Den Brown felt breathless.
Oh my god, they brought a mutated monster on an airship.
‘No. The fact that the monster crows came quietly aboard the airship…’
Was it tamed? A flock of monster crows? The satellite image taken before the satellite flew away came to mind. A black cloud hovering over Vladislav Tower. The satellite image could not be taken because of the crows.
Director Den Brown’s thoughts became complicated.
[Director. This is a message that the Riser restrictions have been suppressed.]
“Okay? Okay. First, secure the production facility and check the raw material inventory. How many Riser Pharmaceutical employees have you caught?”
[···They say they sprayed VX gas on the headquarters and suppressed it.]
what?
VX gas?
Isn’t that fucking residual crazy long?
You just threw it away?
Den Brown was speechless as his back hurt.
“Haa- So where is Vladimir Kalin?”
[Yes. I went to get rid of the cannibals who were in the Riser Restrictions and to clean up the gang.]
No, how do you know where the gang is?
“···Okay. Once we’re done with the gangs, we’ll have to take care of the cartels and mafia too···.”
“Sir, this is a direct call from Vladimir Kalin.”
As soon as Director Dan Brown took the phone, Maru got to the point.
[Just now. I finished clearing out the big gangs, cartels, and mafia guys. As promised, let’s go now.]
“···Yes? Cannibals. Are you saying that you’ve eliminated all the criminal organizations that seem to have a commanding officer?”
[Yes. Send your agents to check. That’s all for now.]
It was Maru who ended the communication without giving Director Den Brown a moment to collect his thoughts.
“···You heard? Check it out right now. If you really sorted everything out, find out how. And contact Vladimir Kalin.”
First, I had to deal with the crow.
“Director!”
Why again?
“They say crows entered the airship.”
however?
“The airship is said to be leaving New York at an increasing altitude?”
what?
