RUST -520

General Dan Brown was momentarily speechless.

We injected Director Yoo’s information fragments and even brainwashed him, but the W+ experimental subject escaped?

“What about the operator?”

Among the clones produced by the W+ program, there was an entity with the Zero Code. There was Operator Zero. He was an entity that served as a practical commander on the battlefield. Naturally, he was brainwashed more strongly and was under constant control, but how could he escape?

“Did Zero Code lead the escape?”

[Our investigation suggests that is not the case.]

“Then? So it escaped from the operator’s control? A normal entity?”

[···We believe that an error has occurred due to the circumstances.]

“error?”

[Yes. A singularity was discovered while examining the tactical camera footage and the link to the zero code.]

General Dan Brown’s eyebrows twitched. The entity that had suddenly acted strangely. The sight of it blatantly aiming at the bear’s rear came to mind.

“Number 9···.”

[Yes, there is something strange about number 9, but there is also something strange about number 4.]

No matter how similarly made it is, a clone is a clone. Compared to the original, there is a high probability that there will be deteriorated corners.

Even identical twins with the same DNA can have different personalities. They can even have different heights, weights, looks, and feelings, and the same goes for clones. Although the differences are not significant, there are differences between individuals.

Especially, the very small differences that occurred while inducing rapid growth would later become quite large differences. Those that had such differences were usually discarded during the production stage.

“Are you saying that the defective product passed QC (Quality Control)?”

[Currently under investigation.]

Even if it was just a joke, I put so much effort into making sure that things like ‘Revenge of the Clones’ or ‘Rebellion of the Clones’ wouldn’t happen…

“So how many escaped?”

[There are 3 entities.]

three?

I thought it was one or all, since it was out of the control of the zero code, but it was three. It was an ambiguous number.

“Tracking?”

[The location tracker is working normally.]

“Track it as undetected as possible. We’ll have to wait and see if it’s a production error or if some guy messed with it.”

[ancient.]

If the experimental subjects had been the work of the Confederacy, they should have been destroyed immediately. If those who were trying to shed humanity had acquired cloning technology, it would literally be a disaster.

‘Then I can’t just leave it like that.’

Just show them right in front of their eyes that there’s nothing they can grab.

“Freeze W+ production facilities until the cause is identified, and isolate all W+ entities already produced.”

[All right.]

So the empire did not sleep at night.

Kim Yang’s eyes, which were narrowed and squinted as she looked at the monitor, sparkled.

This was because Director Yu Mark 2’s movements, as captured on the CCTV installed inside the barracks, had stopped. Even if he was mentally an adult, his body was that of a 3-4 year old.

It was the age of three, when connections between nerve cells in the brain are actively formed, and it was an age when it was difficult to sleep in a quiet position.

The problem wasn’t the stiffness. Whether you’re a child or an adult, a mouse can fly while you’re sleeping. The problem was what you did after the mouse flew.

Children would wake up crying and whining because of the pain caused by the mouse. Waking up from sleep is the same for adults too. Naturally, it was normal to wake up startled by a mouse while sleeping.

‘Even if Mark 2 is Director Yu’s clone, he has to wake up when a rat appears.’

However, Mark 2 in the CCTV was as quiet as a mouse, even though his entire body was stiff. It was such an eerie silence that Ms. Kim couldn’t shake off the feeling of discomfort.

The video I saw during the day came to mind.

As soon as the Mark 2 that had been hardened by the emergency treatment was released, the incident where the nurse officer lost his temper. At the same time, the girl who moved similarly to Director Yoo started to change into something clumsy.

It’s obviously not logical to connect the two incidents, but what can I do? It keeps bothering me. Kim Yang’s eyes narrowed.

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

‘I didn’t ignore it when Baekjeong had a strange feeling.’

In CCTV footage.

Kim Yang’s eyes, looking at the hardened Yu Isa Mark 2, were cold.

Pokduk- Pokduk-

As I wiped the dishes with a dry cloth, the sound of it melted into the darkness, and the broken-necked night watchmen sagged like soaked bracken.

Three blurry shadows moving through the gap.

Director Yu Mark 2 couldn’t help but be flustered.

Now, it was easy to collect one of the trinkets using some unknown method, whether it was a familiar connection(?) or astral projection(?).

‘Did you come in to that punk during the day?’

It was the body that went in when I fought with the dark suit and sunglasses. It seemed to be connected to the place that was pierced once.

It was good that they were connected at once. But what is this? As she was getting out of it, two of her friends followed her. It was like a buy one get two free event.

‘They seem like kids who fought together···.’

It was like they were kids who fought together with the eye monsters. Director Yu Mark 2 felt that way. Strangely, it felt like he could control(?) or manage(?) the two who followed him?

‘You’ll know once you try it.’

Whether one runs away or three, they’re all running away. It’s the same whether there’s a pursuer. Whether one runs away, there’s a pursuer.

Since there is a pursuer anyway, wouldn’t it be foolish to miss the 1+2 opportunity? Director Yu Mark 2 is showing off his ominous momentum.

‘Fuck, wait.’

It wasn’t one, it was three. Even if I slapped him, it was three times. Even if I kicked his butt, it was three times. I’m going to fix that damn fool.

Eeeeeeeeeeng-

The sound of sirens can be heard from the Imperial Army camp in the distance.

‘They found out sooner than I thought.’

Tsk-

Director Yu’s Mark 2 started running. It was in the direction where the Confederate camp was supposed to be.

Whoosh whoosh-

The sight of flickering fireworks rising into the sky.

There was not a single sign of life in the forest that had become a sea of ​​fire on all sides.

“······.”

“······.”

“······.”

Director Yu Mark 2 frowned at the traces scattered on the floor.

Judging from the traces left in the camp, it had been at least six to eight hours since the Confederates withdrew.

“If I do this, will I get out?”

The plan was to escape and leave a trail leading to the Confederate stronghold, causing conflict between the Eastern pursuers and the Southerners.

When she actually arrived, she found that the South had already run away. She was a little flustered, as she had not expected them to withdraw right away.

“yes?”

“······.”

“······.”

Director Yu Mark 2 chuckled at their unanswered question.

‘You said it was Gisun? That tentacle-shaped monster.’

The run was a work of art. If it weren’t for the immediate bombing of the Holy Kingdom’s crows and his own intervention, there was a high chance that the operation’s objectives would have been achieved.

Director Yu’s head was spinning. There were few battlefields that went as planned. It was absurd, but cases like this one were common.

‘It’s a shame, but there’s nothing I can do.’

She said to two people who looked exactly like her.

“Take it off.”

“······.”

“······.”

Three women, wearing bras and panties and walking shoes, began to run along the edge of the blazing forest.

After some time, the imperial army surrounding them on all sides slowly appeared.

“stop.”

“Search.”

“Here?”

“It looks like there was a Confederate camp there.”

Judging by the evidence of the combat rations and the barracks set up here and there, it was almost certain that it was the Confederacy. There was speculation that the three experimental subjects might have been smuggled from the Confederacy, but I hoped that wasn’t the case.

Beep-beep-beep-

“Friendly identification signal detected.”

Even after hearing that he had caught the identification signal, the Imperial commander’s crumpled face did not lighten. In this situation, if he had caught the identification signal, it would have meant that he had taken off the new Ripper suit.

The place the identification signal points to is an empty lot with clear traces of digging here and there.

“They buried the new Ripper suit.”

It was fortunate that the rip-roaring ripper suit didn’t make it south.

“What about the drone?”

“It was destroyed by an owl attack.”

“Aren’t there any extras?”

“Both units were destroyed.”

It seemed like the days of using drones for advance reconnaissance or following friendly identification signals were over.

“Don’t miss a single trace they left behind, and check everything thoroughly.”

“There are signs of large-scale movement in this area.”

“It’s strange that I can find it so easily.”

“Did you intentionally leave the traces untouched? It seems a bit strange.”

“Send the scouts first.”

A moment later, a signal appeared in the sky indicating that there was no ambush.

“All news. Moving to news.”

The vacant lot we arrived at with breaking news was littered with traces of the ‘scouts’.

“It’s a trap!”

Churi ri …

Tudadadadadak!

Bang! Ta-tang! Bang!

Charararararak!

Across the burning forest, flames rising as red as blood.

The tentacles that had been waving toward the sky were shot toward the imperial army.

======

======

An army of acid rats, fire rats, crows, and wolves were ably defending the Newport News Shipyard.

Even if they weren’t acid rats, there were plenty of fairly large rats in the area. These rats were an excellent food source for the animal army, so there was no problem with their supply.

Kaaaak-

Kak-

Two crows naturally entered through the PX window made of a container and circled the display case.

“There. Crow men. Let’s not fly inside the PX.”

Huh?

Caw?

At the PX soldier’s one word, the crows landed as if they had not noticed and began to pluck their feathers. At their sly attitude, the PX soldier gestured to the ceiling with his chin.

Caw?

The crows’ expressions suddenly distorted when they discovered the CCTV hanging in a circle. Can crows also make faces? For the first time in his life, PX Soldier was able to see the vivid expressions of crows.

Daughter-

A huge gray wolf pushed open the door and came in, pressing its forepaw against a button on the counter, and a mechanical sound was heard.

[prey]

[Type A]

The wolf, who had been staring at the menu for a moment, then pressed the button.

[biltong]

[bear]

“Please wait a moment.”

Krr-

“One combat ration type A for the wolf unit, one bear jerky. Is that right?”

Woof-

“I can help you with payment.”

The wolf turned around so that he could easily see the necklace around his neck. With a squeak, the wolf finished paying and went out with the baskets containing the items in his mouth.

Kaaaak!

Kak? Kak!

“Hey, gentlemen. It’s quiet at the PX.”

Maru heard the noise coming from the PX and passed by with a chuckle. The crows and wolves were making good use of the PX.

‘It looks like the shipyard and surrounding area have been roughly cleaned up now.’

The sight of the workers sent from the empire building the aircraft carrier, clinging to each other like ants, was peaceful.

Beep-beep-

As if jealous of such calmness, the red signal blinked.

[This is an emergency dispatcher from Seattle.]

[Fighting between the Confederacy and the Imperial Army intensifies.]

[Director Yu Mark 2, capturing Imperial Army clones.]

[Bernard Green Risk Level Setting Required.]

Maru’s eyebrows furrowed.

The escalation of the fighting is funny enough, but Mark II hijacking an Imperial clone?

If it’s Bernard Green, then Ki-soon is the English name. The danger level is a level given to monsters or monsters, so do we have to give it that?
