RUST -358

Ms. Kim nodded calmly at the PD’s repentant appearance.

As expected, PD was the fundamental. Didn’t he realize his mistakes and realize them? On the other hand, I didn’t like Unit 1 and Unit 2 at all.

“Then what name would be good?”

Even though we haven’t completely taken over Detroit yet.

Both of them dreamed of something great.

“How about North Holly Republic?”

Don’t you get the feeling that you shouldn’t touch that thing?

The PD was shocked by Kim Yang’s sudden intrusion.

Of all the names, ‘North’ and ‘Republic’, which are so strongly engraved in the minds of Americans. If this is marketing, it feels successful in one way or another, but if the name of the country is displayed like this, wouldn’t everyone think it’s strange?

Kim Yang took a step back after seeing the PD’s sour expression.

“Then what name would be good?”

“It is the Holy Land.”

This time, Kim Yang’s expression became strange at the word “Holly Christendom.”

First of all, there was a need to sort things out.

“That church. Is that a Christian thing?”

“He is divine.”

Ms. Kim nodded without realizing it.

That’s not true.

Especially when you draw your sword, in many ways.

huh.

admit.

“He will establish a new order on earth.”

That too···. I admit it.

Because I will establish the order of the great leader.

Nod

“I believe that the Holy Nation is the best name to let everyone know that this is the country ruled by Him, including those who are about to die from divine punishment, those who repent and return, and those who believed and waited.”

“It’s all good, but I think he might hate that.”

I know from being around him for a long time, there are more delicate parts to what he says than you might expect. Ms. Kim lowered her voice subtly.

“What kind of religious thing is this? Holly, what kind of religious thing is this? If it’s so religious, I think he’ll feel burdened.”

“Is that so?”

“Of course. So, I think it would be safe to first remove all religious feelings and go with the feeling of being of the people, for the people, and of the people. A people’s republic where only He is the leader, and only He is the president. Doesn’t that feel just right?”

So it would be better to go to the highest dignity of the Republic. The PD’s eyes, which seemed to be convinced, became strict again at the repetition of ‘people’, ‘leader’, and ‘president’. A look that said something was too spicy.

The two decided to decide on a name later and moved on to another topic.

“What is important is hope and salvation. If we can find hope in a broken world and live a safe life, people will naturally gather. I think it is most important to manage those who gather well and nurture them so that they can become believers of the Holy Nation.”

PD’s idea was this. To educate people who are stuck in a selfish and individualistic way of thinking about what true HOLLY is, and to create a sacred society where we serve and help each other under Him.

“That’s too abstract···.”

“It’s okay because he’s here.”

PD’s answer is that it’s okay because the divine one exists.

A firm belief that no one who has other intentions can physically exist under Him.

‘That’s true, but···.’

The eternal republic ruled by the great leader, the splendid republic. Kim Yang, who was aiming for that place, listened to the PD’s story quietly for the time being. Since it was natural to dodge slightly when a shower came down without having to get hit.

That’s how PD and Kim Yang’s plan for nation-building blossomed.

While Detroit’s future is being tossed with divine spice, New York is in turmoil due to a sudden increase in missing persons cases.

“There’s another missing person.”

Homeland Security Director Dan Brown’s brow furrowed.

“Where are you going this time?”

“This is Harlem Street.”

“also?”

Harlem was a neighborhood that had already eliminated the cannibal gang and cleared out everyone associated with them.

All of those who were disposed of were people they knew in the neighborhood, and the gang served as a kind of breakwater for them.

So it was a breakwater to keep other gangs, mafia, and cartels out. The police were far away, but the guns were close.

But after the gangs in Harlem were wiped out, missing people started to increase.

The people of Harlem began to seethe, asking, “What are the police doing?”, “Find the missing person?”, and “Did they arrest all the kids for this?”

This discontent cannot be overlooked, as the racial composition of New York is rapidly changing due to the influx of blacks and Latinos among the refugees coming from all over.

The ratio is about 20% white, 25% black, 23% Latino, and 20% Jewish. The remaining 12% are European and Asian.

Can we ignore the fact that one in four people is black?

The mayor of New York City right now was black, and all five deputy mayors, including the cannibal deputy mayor who caused the trouble, were women of a race other than white?

“There are signs that protests will break out, especially in Harlem.”

“now?”

“yes.”

It was a situation where something was about to explode unless something was done immediately, so the New York Police Department was called in to help.

Dan Brown sighed. The exhaustion of Homeland Security personnel reached a peak with the cannibal hunt.

After that, the conditions for selecting field agents were relaxed and a large-scale manpower supplementation was carried out, but the attrition was so severe that it was impossible to know where the supplemented manpower went. Now, it can be seen as a sign of a chronic manpower shortage.

“The Federal Bureau of Investigation said they would also help.”

“The Narcotics Investigation Unit also contacted us to offer assistance.”

“Ha- That’s fortunate.”

The various branches of the federal government used to compete with each other, and sometimes even interfere with each other, but after the cannibal suppression operation, in New York alone, a warm atmosphere of trust, support, and support for each other was created.

After creating such a good atmosphere, I couldn’t ignore the request for help because it was difficult. If there was a shortage of manpower, I had no choice but to split it up and replace it.

“Look up where the missing people have been found so far.”

A map of New York City appeared on a large monitor, and red dots began to appear in areas where missing people had been reported. The red dots were definitely in areas where black and Latino people lived.

“There aren’t any cannibals, are there?”

“It’s unlikely because it went through a thorough examination.”

Dan Brown shook his head.

“No. If you had hidden it on purpose, you might have missed it. And what if the guy who hid it like that is spreading a cannibalistic disease?”

“···It is possible.”

It became popular among criminals to contract cannibalism, with rumors that it enhanced their physical abilities and made them immune to disease.

At that time, many people had suddenly disappeared, and now, the number of cannibals is increasing just as much. So, we had to check that area.

“Armed with exosuits and large caliber guns, I want you to sweep up Brooklyn, North and East, South Queens, and North Bronx.”

Dan Brown, who was studying the map, overlapped the sewer and subway maps. There were certainly quite a few red dots along the lines.

“If they’re hiding, they’re most likely in sewers, underpasses, subways, and building basements. Focus on those areas, and don’t forget the coastal docks and warehouses.”

“I will check.”

“We’re going to enter from this side, so tell the police to set up a perimeter cordon and encirclement. At the very least, prepare armor-piercing rounds, and slugs for shotguns.”

“yes.”

“I’d like the FBI to investigate whether there are any new criminal groups or groups that have suddenly expanded their influence. I’d like the Drug Enforcement Administration to investigate the types of drugs that have been circulating recently and whether there are any remaining drug organizations.”

“All right.”

The search began smoothly. At first, as Dan Brown had predicted, the hidden cannibals began to be caught.

“How much did you catch?”

“13 in Brooklyn alone.”

“Did you miss anything?”

“Since they blocked the entrance and went in, you can assume they caught everyone in Brooklyn, even if they ran away somewhere else.”

“Is it possible that civilians helped them escape?”

“All citizens residing within the operation area have been diagnosed with cannibalism.”

He did everything he could, but Director Dan Brown’s furrowed brow would not go away.

There are over 40, maybe even 50 missing people in Brooklyn alone, but only 13? Cannibals can control their cannibalistic desires to some extent after satisfying their initial appetite.

So even if we assume that 13 people ate a lot, it shouldn’t have been more than 20 people. Even if they ate twice as much, it would have been 26 people.

“The numbers don’t match.”

This meant that at least half of the cases had nothing to do with cannibals, so it couldn’t be ignored.

As the staff muttered among themselves, hearing Director Den Brown’s mutterings, he became lost in thought.

‘There are less than 50 cannibals in Brooklyn, Queens, and the Bronx combined. However, the number of missing people is close to 200. Even if we ignore the cannibals’ characteristics and assume they ate twice as many, there are still 100 people left.’

Where did the 100 missing people go?

New York was already a city that had once gone through a massive cannibal purge, so there was no reason for there to be close to 200 missing people a day.

‘We’ll find out if we wait. Is this a cannibalistic disorder, or…’

A day later, another missing person appeared. Despite having disposed of nearly 50 cannibals yesterday, a whopping 167 new missing persons appeared.

This meant that the problem was not limited to cannibals, and the Department of Homeland Security was turned upside down. Despite extensive searches and searches, the atmosphere in the city began to turn ominous as yet another large number of missing people appeared in just one day.

“What about CCTV?”

“I checked everything.”

“Install additional CCTV.”

“Local residents are opposed to it.”

“Shut up and install it. People are going missing right now, so stop talking nonsense!”

“How about calling the special executive branch?”

“I agree.”

Special Enforcement Unit. These were the agents who mentioned the department that the former Riser Pharmaceuticals mercenary group belonged to.

The mercenaries guarding the outside of the Cocoon, the storage facility and secret facility of the Riser Restrictions, had no choice but to leave the scene when contact with the main force led by Geese Riser was lost and long-distance telepathy was also cut off. This was because it seemed that if they did wrong, they would end up dying while guarding an empty house that they could not enter.

Once in New York, they soon fell under the surveillance of the Department of Homeland Security, and instead of having their pasts erased, they were offered a job with a newly created agency called the Special Enforcement Division.

‘I’ll erase the illegal activities under the Kiss Riser. What are you going to do?’

Summary disposition or new status?

The remaining mercenaries, including the vice-captain, agreed to Director Den Brown’s deal and became part of the Special Enforcement Unit. The plan to deploy them went ahead as planned.

“Doesn’t it feel like our job is to roll around everywhere?”

“Be quiet. Even though we wiped out all the cannibals and new humans, people disappeared without a trace.”

The voices of mercenaries moving through the old sewers shook the dark tunnel beyond.

“How is it? Do you feel something?”

“No. I don’t feel any traces of people.”

The team leader clicked his tongue at the story of Erica, who has the mental ability psychometry.

“It wasn’t easy. Let’s keep going. Erica, please check every now and then.”

“Yes, I understand.”

While wandering through the sewer for over two hours, Erica’s eyes, which were reading thoughts on the floor, wavered.

“Tea. Team leader!”

“Did you find it?”

“Wow. A wave. A wave that surges in…”

“Waves? What waves?”

The team leader, who saw Erika’s pupils shaking, immediately injected her with a sedative. The pupils that were shaking in all directions began to slowly stop.

“Are you calm? Okay. What did you see?”

“I have to go out.”

Crunch – The sound of something being trampled on the floor. The sound of an empty plastic bottle being crushed filled the dark sewer.

“What is this?”

A man picked up a brown object about the size of two palms, a hollow brown structure, and reported to the team leader.

“Team Leader, there’s something strange going on here.”

“I have to go out.”

“Calm down. You’re using too much power. Just rest for a moment. What’s wrong?”

The team leader, who had pushed Erica away, saying that they had to leave immediately, took the lead. Under the long, continuous light, flat, translucent brown objects, similar to the color of beer bottles, were scattered everywhere.

“What is this?”

Kwajik-

An empty shell? One of the mercenaries, a slum-born member, looked at it rolling around on the floor and muttered.

“Is this like a wheel nut?”

“What the hell are you talking about? If the wheel size is 5-6 inches (12.7-15.2 cm), does that mean the wheel size is 15-20 inches (38-50 cm)?”

“Is this the Amazon?”

“Ah. Ma. John?”

Hehe- Hehe- While the team members were giggling, Erica, who seemed to be calming down, suddenly screamed and started running back the way she came.

“Damn. It’s all over the place.”

The team leader shook his head.

“Erika had another seizure, Jose.”

“yes-”

“Take Erica out and come back when she calms down.”

“All right.”

“Hey, Jose, are you scared? Yes, I was scared.”

“8.8 inch Jose. Come on.”

“This is a chance for the two of us. Fighting-”

Wheeze-

yes-

The agent who had been whistling and laughing while holding his stomach as Jose followed Erica suddenly looked up at the ceiling.

■■-■-■■-■

Movement taking advantage of the noise.

What I thought were shiny, old bricks soaked in moisture from the underground water were moving.

“Shit!!!”

Sha sha sha sha sha-

A dark brown wave washed over them.
