RUST -427

By comparing the coordinates Charlotte sent with the information the agent had, we decided to choose the right place to hit at once.

“It’s not easy. These guys have spread out their labs and bases like a guerrilla organization.”

As expected, the Virginia Company was no pushover.

“Can’t you just crack the head?”

Ms. Kim continued talking, nodding.

“So, we’ll start by banging on the head office and slowly burn the limbs with a low flame and that’s it.”

“We have headquarters information, but it’s in a place that’s easily accessible from all directions.”

“Then isn’t that a good thing?”

“Virginia Langley, would that notorious company have set up its headquarters there just for accessibility? It would probably be a fake headquarters.”

Maru, who had been listening quietly, opened his mouth.

“I guess they set up their headquarters in a place with easy access so they don’t mind being attacked, right?”

“That’s right. Even if it had been hit by a nuclear weapon dropped by China, Virginia Langley would have been the most active.”

The moment the headquarters was attacked, it was clear that they would start tracking them back. They would go out without hesitation, as they would have the excuse that they had been attacked by a terrorist.

“Then let’s leave the headquarters and target the areas where the coordinates sent by Charlotte match the information found in the agent’s brain.”

“I will organize it and upload it right now.”

The hood began to integrate information in an instant.

“There’s a problem. If this information is correct, New York is in danger.”

The PD, who had carefully examined the information the agent had, said while checking the situation board.

“New York is in a situation where it will eat its own flesh even if left alone, so won’t they just leave it alone and let it lose its strength?”

Hood said without looking up as he was organizing his data.

Considering what the sly Virginia Langley was doing, there was no reason to bother talking about it now, let alone having to take down the New York Department of Homeland Security.

“That would be the case normally, but the Confederacy and Virginia Langley also suffered unexpectedly large damage.”

“ah···.”

“I guess you don’t have much time either.”

Everyone understood what the PD said.

Now that I think about it, that’s what happened.

The test subject in the secret Pittsburgh lab they were so concerned about was lost, and the Queen and Estelle Liman, who were being tested in Seattle, were also lost.

It was difficult to guess what Virginia would do if it gave New York time, since it had nothing to gain from it.

“According to information, the major cities in the East and Central regions, including New York, are practically in a state of war.”

“Eeeeeeeee- War? War with whom? And it’s so cold?”

If the Chinese army had entered the American mainland without knowing anything, they would have all frozen to death. Even if they didn’t die from the cold, they certainly wouldn’t have been able to withstand the mutant monsters or rats.

The PD gave further explanation to the surprised nurse.

“They say it’s not just a simple war, they’re fighting rats.”

“Surely there are rat-like people like that in other big cities?”

“That can’t be true. We’ve experienced it ourselves, but normal rats don’t believe in God and don’t do that.”

Normally, when normal rats are hit by the floor’s lifeblood, they immediately become good and start running away. The thing that is strange is the rats that offer sacrifices.

“That’s right. They’re the only ones who sent tribute.”

“It is also the case that they have developed a belief in explosions by using drugs and napalm cross bags. We should consider them qualitatively different from other rats.”

The atmosphere became one where everyone agreed with Maru’s words.

Unless there was someone else who could spread a strange aura and kill everyone in a wide area, it was natural since there was no chance of rats with explosive beliefs like the tribute rats appearing.

Even if rats did believe in God, without medicine and napalm bombs, they were just like any other smart rats. That’s why the tribute rats, even with their small numbers, managed to gradually expand their territory into the southern part of Detroit.

“If rats have run rampant in big cities and turned them into battlefields, then small and medium-sized cities and villages should be treated in the same way.”

That was more dangerous. People were living in isolation, buried in snow. Would the rats just leave them alone?

“Up until now, it has been guided naturally, but now I think we need to intervene.”

When asked about the idea of ​​actively using rats, Ms. Kim made a face as if she wondered if that was okay.

“Everything is good, but rats reproduce quickly and change generations quickly, right? What if rats with explosive faith reproduce and change generations and then suddenly come to a singularity and say, ‘God is dead?’”

‘Isn’t that a good idea?’

The PD answered with a determined voice at Kim Yang’s gaze.

“Faith is not about singularity. It is about existence.”

“No, what is it? In Europe, churches and cathedrals are all empty and ruined, but the rats are getting smarter and as generations pass, they might get in trouble.”

“Ah, I heard that Allah’s side is prospering in Europe?”

So, when the nurse said that these mice looked similar to the other ones, Kim scratched the back of her head.

“Ah- that’s not it···.”

“That’s it. We’ve decided to use the tribute rats to form a defensive line and control the barbarians, so let’s go with that. Please be careful about handing over the religious system to the rats.”

Maru sorted out the situation.

“Okay, I’ll be careful.”

“More importantly, I wonder if there are cases where mutant mice evolve or pass on their traits.”

We exterminated all the rats with strange tongues and smart ones, but it would be terrible if some rats mutated in other ways.

“It would certainly be dangerous if that were to happen. It might be difficult to do it with just the tribute rats right now.”

“The threat isn’t religion or intelligence. It’s something like an awakening among the rats, or a cannibalistic rat.”

There have been no cases of beasts mutating after eating the corpses of cannibals, but what if they are happening somewhere?

Maru explained using Director Yu’s case.

Originally, the Awakened were virtually immune to cannibalism. It was difficult to contract it unless they absorbed a very large amount of lesions.

But that difficult thing happened to Director Yu. So, wouldn’t it be difficult to guarantee that the Awakened won’t get cannibalism again?

Hood, who knew the story at the time, agreed.

“It’s possible. There’s no way to prevent one of the rat pups from awakening. It would be dangerous if one of them contracted a cannibalistic disease came out. They would only want to eat humans.”

In the middle of the story, Maru suddenly remembered the man-eating ghost that controlled cockroaches.

“You said the first outbreak of cannibalism was caused by shrimp flavoring at a Chinese grocery store?”

“yes.”

“And there was also talk about the shrimp and other things being made with cockroaches.”

“no way···.”

As Maru had expected, there was no way of knowing when or how things would happen.

A question mark floated above Kim Yang’s head.

“What are you talking about?”

“It is said that among the rats that ate the cannibal, there may be a rat that controls cockroaches.”

ah-

Huh?

Miss Kim, who had been admiring her, tilted her head.

What do rats do to cockroaches? Aren’t they just territorial? When they were cleaning up the New York waterways, they were probably trying to fuck each other.

“I thought they were fighting each other in the New York sewers?”

“That’s different. Taming? It can be similar to taming. Like taming livestock.”

Although the PD’s words had many implied meanings, Ms. Kim simply accepted them.

“Yeah- so it’s like a nurse handling a crow?”

“yes.”

The floor has become complicated.

‘If that’s the case with rats, what about cannibals?’

According to the cannibals who call themselves the new human race, modern humans have been reduced to livestock. Those cannibals who act like dogs are the same ones who thought it was okay to eat fellow humans from the beginning. Those guys were specifically studying cannibals.

‘Fuck.’

Looking at Virginia Langley’s research subjects and processes, it was clear that she was not in her right mind.

Looking at the process of creating a society and system centered around cannibals, it was clear that they were trying to rule the world by becoming cannibals without weaknesses.

‘Queen of Seattle, Estelle Liman, and if you add the U+ program.’

A being that can seduce and dominate, is free from other higher beings, does not eat flesh but can satisfy its cannibalistic desires with only blood, and does not age.

Predator and Prey

ruler, ruled

Parent object, child object.

What would happen if we studied cannibals using our imagination?

Any research must have a goal. What is the goal you want to pursue using cannibals?

A true dominant race. What would they have benchmarked to achieve their goal of evolving into a race that could treat modern humans as livestock?

It was unclear at first, but the cases of Queen Seattle and Estelle Liman made it clear.

They were using cannibals to create vampire-like beings.

“A vampire who doesn’t fear the sun.”

Hood’s half face distorted as he listened to Maru’s monologue. Hood’s clever mind succeeded in inferring and interpreting one sentence Maru had uttered.

“Why not just use nukes?”

“It’s difficult.”

I needed to know the exact coordinates, and at least the approximate depth. What would happen if I dug deep and it burst?

“Why not just fire from an airship at the other side or from a direction the enemy doesn’t expect?”

“That sounds like a good idea. With tactical nukes, even a crying child will be quiet, so no matter how much they do, they will be quiet.”

Kim Yang unanimously agreed with Hood’s suggestion to use tactical nuclear warheads.

“The only forces that have airships are us, the Department of Homeland Security, and Virginia. The military may also have them, but… there’s no reason for them to target Virginia and use tactical nuclear weapons, so it’s clear that we’ll be identified as the culprit.”

“Yes. A preemptive strike with nuclear weapons is not possible. Even if it were possible, it would not be our choice.”

PD agreed with Maru’s opposition to using nuclear weapons.

“Now that we know more or less what they’re up to, we need to prepare.”

“Sure. It would be most effective to evolve it into a cannibal.”

What if you could achieve athletic ability 2-3 times greater than that of an adult male?

What if it could create a new race of noble humans who could withstand environmental disasters like cold and heat, as well as disease resistance, in a world as harsh as today?

What if you tempted an old, weak person with the chance to become a new race of nobles who would be healthier than when they were young?

What if, instead of inviting them to the world of the new human aristocracy, they say that they will only eat blood, not meat, like Estelle Liman, and that they are not cannibals obsessed with meat?

It’s a good thing I found out now.

“Everyone entering the Vladiak Tower inside the castle will be tested with psychometry. This will also include a diagnostic kit verification procedure.”

It would be dangerous if they started to seduce me in earnest.

It’s hard to imagine how many people would fall for the chance to become the characters so positively portrayed in recent movies and novels.

“And everyone in the satellite towns and the outer city of Vladiak, let’s conduct surprise checks.”

We decided to conduct weekly cannibalistic checks on people living outside of the satellite towns and Ark Town.

‘This is not enough.’

There was a reason why people supported the heavily armed Homeland Security, FBI, and Police Department in New York City, who were running around killing cannibals.

This was because it was revealed that cannibals were kidnapping people to create breeding grounds, treating them like livestock and eating them. This was because I had seen the cruel face of cannibals.

How many people would be outraged by a sexy, handsome vampire elegantly sipping blood from a wine glass?

Rather, wouldn’t you and I both sing the song of the night’s nobility and say that we will become beings that transcend humanity?

“I will warn you about vampires on HOLLY TV.”

“···Okay then.”

If it weren’t for the HOLLY faith, it would have been difficult to resist such temptations, so there was no choice.

“We are going as originally planned.”

I decided to drive them away so they wouldn’t have any other thoughts.

“Let’s go from here.”
