RUST [RUST]-516

It wasn’t long before word got out to the Confederacy that the Empire was targeting the F-22 factory in Seattle, just as the Empire knew what the Confederacy was doing.

That would be the case. Until recently, it was the United States of America, whether it was the Empire or the Federation. Both sides had plenty of human resources to use as spies. And double spies.

From the moment the South began to focus on the F-35, the Empire had no choice but to invest in securing the F-22. If everything was difficult, then at least parts and technology had to be secured. If even that was difficult, then at least they had to prevent it from falling to the South.

Since it was a matter of providing near-future supplies, it was right to deploy elite forces, and while we were sending elite forces, we also sent clone forces.

And unfortunately, information about the clone troop also found its way to the Confederacy.

“The Empire’s asses are on fire.”

“There’s no other way from your side.”

“We must prevent the Empire from acquiring the F-22.”

“Let’s also dispatch an elite force.”

“That’s difficult. It would be dangerous if the troops currently blocking the mutant monsters were to be removed.”

The monsters, which seemed quiet during the harsh winter, began to increase explosively as the weather warmed up. Elite troops selected from the federal army and the national guard were fighting the monsters.

“Has Werewolf stabilized yet?”

“It’s not resolved yet.”

“You said that Ojin Group’s medicine is effective?”

“Ahem. What we pursue is perfection.”

“Yes. If you rely on Ojin’s medicine, you will lose your perfection.”

“I agree, but that doesn’t mean we can wait until the research is successful.”

“There are countless requests coming in from the field to make the drug available.”

“I think it would be a good idea to grant temporary approval until the research is complete.”

“I have information that the Empire is deploying clone troops to Seattle. What are you going to do about it?”

“Don’t clones have limits?”

Clone troops had also been studied in the South. However, to operate clone troops effectively, at least three technologies were needed.

If it takes more than 10 years to create a clone and grow it, it is meaningless, so rapid growth technology was essential. If you make it grow rapidly into an adult, but the cell division continues and it ages in an instant, it will be useless, so stabilization technology is also essential.

Lastly, without information injection technology, we would have been producing fully grown infants, so information injection technology was also necessary.

The South was so focused on cannibal control and research, werewolf research, and aristocratic research that it had no room to spare.

“The Empire sending the clone troop must be a demonstration experiment.”

“I guess this is a story about overcoming the challenges of clone development.”

There is a story about obtaining cloning technology from the Empire.

“First of all, I think we need to secure clones created by the Empire.”

“Still, we can’t withdraw the elite forces.”

The elite troops and clones of the Empire were on the move. Considering the intelligence that the Holy Kingdom was likely to join them, there was no point in sending a bunch of random people.

“Let’s send the security team of Ojin Group.”

“Hoo- that’s a good idea.”

The Virginia Company and the military’s secret research labs, which were in charge of the biological experiments, did not have the capacity to capture clones and study them.

In contrast, the newly joined Ojin Group still had plenty of research capacity. Even if they succeeded in capturing the clone test subjects, they would still have to send them to the Ojin Research Institute.

So it was a good idea for the Ojin group to capture and study him from the beginning. Even if they failed to capture the clone, they could still reduce Ojin’s power, so that wasn’t a bad thing either.

Na Ju-yeon placed the order(?) sent from the Southern Alliance on the table.

“Thinking about it is really···.”

He was to go to Seattle to check the Empire and capture the clones, and then delegate clone research to them.

“What do you think?”

“You’re just aiming for a double-cross.”

If this side succeeds in securing the Empire’s clones, it’s a good success, and even if it fails, it’s not a bad result in that it weakens the Empire and Ojin’s power.

“···I expected there to be a resident, but this is a bit surprising.”

“It was a common occurrence in the United States, didn’t you know?”

It was natural for each agency of the federal government to check and balance the other. All sorts of things happened under the pretext of achieving balance through checks and balances.

Sending false information to the military intelligence agency, or going out to investigate the person who gave the false information even though they knew it was false, or deliberately ignoring terrorist information, or exaggerating and turning something trivial into something that was overturned. There were so many things that went beyond common sense, and this was not even a restraint.

“I thought it would be different since we broke away from the Confederacy.”

“If that’s the case, you should have gone to the Empire, not the South.”

Why else would Dan Brown declare an empire and line up his people in a single file?

“If we had chosen the empire, we would not have been able to maintain even a limited degree of independence.”

“That’s true. So what should I do?”

Chewing on orders from the Confederacy was the worst. He was already half-detained, and it was clear that he would be disbanded and canned under the pretext of disobeying orders.

“I have to send it.”

“Send Director Kim and the others?”

“Director Kim is inflexible. I hope you can come with me.”

“Wasn’t this the last time? We decided not to roll around the scene, right?”

“I’ll tell you why Naru ignores your feelings.”

“Do you know why?”

“Yes. We talked about it once last time···.”

“······.”

“I’ll tell you since I don’t think you’ll notice it in the future either.”

“···Okay. But if it’s dangerous, I’ll come back right away.”

“Of course. We just need proof that they went and fought. Capturing the clones would be great, but it doesn’t have to be. I’ll give you two Director Kims. And how about ten people from the security team?”

“Don’t do that.”

Arriving in Seattle, Ki-sun was able to find the Imperial Clone Forces sooner than expected.

The clone troop, wearing stealth suits and moving as one body, was hunting a bear. The Imperial clone troop was able to slaughter the bear, which had mutated to the size of a southern wild boar.

‘That’s strange.’

Ki-sun immediately noticed that the Imperial clones were moving strangely.

No matter how much simultaneous passing training I did, it was impossible to pass without getting tangled up or hesitating even once.

Even if a person with psychic abilities directly operates all of them, there would be some delay, but the movement is so smooth that it doesn’t even have that.

‘It’s so messed up.’

A situation where evidence is needed to prove that a fight had taken place to capture the clone.

Fighting a clone army that moves like that? Once they get in there, there’s no way to escape.

What should I do with this?

An opportunity came to Ki-soon, who was in trouble. The bear that the clone unit killed was a cub, and a bigger bear had intervened.

‘Crazy. What kind of bear is that···.’

A bear so large that even the reputedly large boars of the South looked like regular boars clashed with a clone troop.

I thought the bear that got mauled was big, but it turned out to be a cub?

As the standoff continued, a tank appeared out of nowhere and fired a 120mm bullet into the mother bear’s side.

The Holy Kingdom had begun a bear hunt.

A scene that caught Ki-sun’s eye. One of the clones was showing unusual movements, and he thought it was an error, so he shot and killed the clone that was showing unusual movements.

‘That’s it.’

It was an opportunity.

“There’s no way I’m leaving the clone corpse behind. Get ready.”

Ki-soon prepared Director Kim and the security team.

“Director Kim, step back. Move when I give you the signal.”

As expected, it was the Imperial Army collecting the clone’s corpse. Ki-soon followed the Imperial Army carrying the pack containing the clone’s corpse.

Kim Yang’s laughter was low.

Hohohohohohohoho—-

As expected, the last hit was good.

It may be unfair to the imperial women who had drained the mother bear’s spirit, but the decisive damage was done by the main gun of the tank and her lance charge.

[So? You should take the cub?]

One of the big bears was not wrong, but he didn’t want to give it.

While Kim Yang was pondering how to eat this raw, the command support AI in the camp sent an emergency signal.

[···Let’s talk about the cubs later···. Hey there, wild! Stop your mouth. Who wants to open their mouth?]

A wild wolf that had been lingering around the mother bear with her side torn off grew back and growled at Kim Yang’s shout.

[Oh shit- I saved you-]

I spared those who were supposed to be killed, and now you’re sticking your snout into my bear? Kim Yang’s anger exploded.

[Yeah, I said we were lacking in nutrition soup anyway!]

She pushed aside negotiations about the cubs and emergency signals and attacked the wild wolves. After a long and short final cry, Kim Yang’s low laughter leaked out from her exosuit, which was soaked in blood.

[Hoohoohoohoohoohoo- Another disgruntled brat.]

The Imperial Army, the bastards, the Royal Army, and even the wolves were quiet. A sound broke that silence.

Kaaaak-

[···Are you dissatisfied?]

Kaaaak-

The crow, sitting on the exosuit’s shoulder, shook its head from side to side, then spread one wing and pointed in the direction.

[Over there? What’s there?]

Knock!

This is why the artificial intelligence sent an emergency signal.

[It’s a hassle to send the image directly to the HUD.]

Kim Yang, who was grumbling, checked the reconnaissance footage that the crow had taken. There was a familiar face among the footage of suspicious individuals chasing the imperial army.

‘Green Sun? Why is Ki-sun here?’

Come to think of it, the Ojin Group is attached to the South? Kim Yang’s eyes narrowed.

‘Hmm – but since we have a non-aggression pact with the South, I guess we don’t have to worry about it.’

I don’t care if the Empire and the South are dancing or shaking their bodies.

[Shut up there, you punk. Didn’t we say we came to Seattle because of the bears? Bears, mother and cub, belong to the Holy Kingdom.]

Unless you’re possessed by a demon, you won’t understand, right?

By the way, I thought Kisun would do something.

[Again, bears are all Holy Kingdom. If you’re not happy with that, bring the answer above.]

Ms. Kim raised her voice.

You guys, this isn’t the time to worry about bear cubs. Yeah.

A little later, Ki-soon did not disappoint Kim Yang’s expectations. The little girls who had been fighting over the cubs disappeared like an ebb tide.

[Everyone, take care of the bear. Load it onto the airship and take off.]

“Okay. Are you going back right away?”

[There might be more bears, and we also need to gather airplane parts, equipment, and technology. For now, go to the base and wait.]

“All right.”

Miss Kim, who had become more affluent after taking care of the bear, generously ordered them to rest.

Command and control room.

Director Yu Mark 2 stretched out his clenched fist.

The small hands of a child, not those of an adult, were reflected in her eyes.

It definitely wasn’t a dream. It wasn’t an illusion. Then what was it? It felt like the viewpoint had changed, my body had changed, and I had moved. It was as if I had returned to my original body.

“Ingeoji, the female protagonist, the female protagonist, the female protagonist.” (AI video. Turn on the Imperial Army video.)

[‘This beggar is a woman. Look at the woman.’ Are you saying that?]

This fucking fucking can-

Director Yu Mark 2 suddenly stood up.

In the moment when my nerves were focused on the anger that was building up, the strength in that place was released. And naturally, the diaper became heavy.

“Shiba···.”

For some reason, she felt like crying.

“What the hell···”

Still, she didn’t cry.

Director Yu Mark 2, who had been walking around with his teeth clenched, finally touched the monitor and began to examine the entire video.

‘Found it.’

Footage of imperial troops in black tights fighting a giant bear.

Yeah, that’s it.

There she was.

The movements of the squirrel aiming at the rear of the giant bear were clearly her own movements.

Ice? Connection? Whatever it is.

Is it possible to escape from this fucking body?

The sound heard when the anger that had been suppressed for a long time is suddenly released.

Puddle-

The sound of a diaper becoming heavier.

Hehehehehehe-

“Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii—–!!!”
