RUST -595

Bloody Mary Program.

A plan to train clone soldiers using Vladinaru, Vladimaru’s younger sister.

Since Bladinaru’s body was highly resistant to drugs, brainwashing, and suggestion, to the point where she was virtually judged as uneducable, it was thought that her clones would be the same, but this was not the case at all.

This meant that the body’s resistance was not a trait expressed in DNA. Rather, it was a trait that made it vulnerable to drugs, brainwashing, and suggestion.

After looking into past records, I found that her mother had a high drug sensitivity. She was the same.

So, the prevailing prediction was that the current strong resistance of the main body was probably due to the hand of Chairman Na Ju-yeon of the Ohjin Group.

Researchers abandoned the idea of ​​strong resistance and shifted their focus to drug sensitivity, which meant that the drug was more effective.

It’s a clone that has good drug effects, is easily addictive, and is good at brainwashing and suggesting.

Wouldn’t this be good to use?

The Bloody Mary program was implemented in an instant and replaced the U+ program, which had caused mass escape problems.

Even if the Bloody Mary clones were to break free from the brainwashing and suggestion and escape en masse, they would be completely controlled as they were soaked in a specific drug and would have no choice but to return in search of the drug.

“The ability of a single entity is good, but its brain wave network is not stable.”

“The commands from the intermediate command entities are not well communicated and the chain of command is in conflict with each other···.”

I thought everything was fine, but the brainwave network was unstable. In particular, there was a problem with the individuals acting as squad leaders or platoon leaders clashing with the regular individuals.

“What is the cause?”

“The exact reason is unknown, but the researchers say it appears to be a battle for hierarchy.”

A clone with its ego removed, fighting for the throne? A moment of bewilderment passed over General Dan Brown’s bland expression. It was a gene that was incomprehensible in many ways.

“If we only consider the experimental results, the main body’s command is the most stable.”

“There is a problem with mobilizing the main body. If we do that, the younger sister of the King of the Holy Kingdom will be participating in the Empire’s secret military operation.”

Chancellor Den Brown pounded his desk thoughtfully.

“I signed a contract to participate in the cloning experiment, so it shouldn’t matter. I’m used to living a luxurious life, so I’m sure most of the money I received before has been used up by now.”

“Yes.”

“Give him enough money and make him sign a proper contract. Long term.”

“four.”

What could be the problem?

He said he stamped it with his own hand. If it had been a problem, the Holy Kingdom would have sanctioned him when he participated in the cloning research. The fact that they were silent was an implicit expression of their intention to respect Vladinaru Kalin’s personal choice, no matter what he did.

“What do you think about enlisting as a special forces officer?”

Naru opened her eyes wide as she was worried that the money she received for participating in the cloning experiment was decreasing by the minute.

“Are you joining the military?”

“Yes, I would like you to participate in the Bloody Mary program.”

I knew it was a program to create soldiers out of clones of oneself.

Because I received a case fee of close to $400,000 per round on the condition of providing DNA for cloning experiments. $1.2 million for providing egg and somatic cell DNA over three rounds.

But after just half a year, my bank balance was sending warning signals.

New York was a really splendid city. It was clear that the devil lived in New York. If it was good, it was expensive, and if it was good, it was luxury.

A bowl of bibimbap costs 30,000 to 40,000 won. Even if you were to eat a set meal, you would have to pay at least 300,000 won to get a similar meal.

During the cloning experiment, free hotel accommodations were available, but after the service ended, they had to pay for lodging. But moving to lower-class accommodations was horrible.

“I don’t want to go to the military.”

“You will be given the status of a tactical officer who controls the clones.”

“Tactical Officer?”

“Yes. You can think of them as a kind of special officer.”

“Isn’t a soldier’s salary low?”

“We will treat you best.”

“Ah- If you’re a soldier, do you get a house? A nice house?”

“When you enlist, we will apply for housing subsidized by the military.”

If you were an officer commanding clones, you had the looks, housing allowance, and top pay, so it wasn’t bad.

“I will do it.”

“Good choice. How about a million dollars as a deposit?”

A signing bonus of $1 million just for enlisting? This is something you absolutely have to do.

“great.”

“Haha- You have to work hard. Everyone has high expectations.”

Naru chose to enlist as a way to avoid the hardships of life he was facing.

For her, the military was like a vacation.

Her thoughts were shattered after she entered Officer Candidate School (OTS), a training program she had never heard of before.

“I can’t do it. I won’t do it.”

“Are you saying you can’t do it now?”

Naru, who had been rolling around on the floor, suddenly got up and refused to train.

Originally, Naru had to be commissioned as a special officer. Since the Clone Trooper Command was a branch that did not exist before, it was right to enter through a direct commission.

This was especially true because she had no command authority over other soldiers besides the clones (Restricted Line Officer).

It was General Dan Brown’s idea to force her into the OTS training course so that she would have an excuse to avoid the problem if the Holy Kingdom ever raised it.

The pretext was that they had received formal basic training, rather than just being thrown in as civilians. That way, if a problem arose during the operation, it could be resolved smoothly.

Anyway, after undergoing arduous training without exception that was not in his destiny, Naru’s true nature ended up coming out.

“I can’t do it! I said I can’t do it. I never said I would receive this kind of training!”

“Then pack your bags and get out! The deposit is 10 times that.”

“what?”

“The deposit is 10 times. Didn’t you read the contract properly?”

Are you asking me to read an application form that is dozens of pages long right there? Do you think there are people who read the entire agreement and sign it?

“No. Which army has a deposit?”

“Then did you think that there was a case where they gave you a million dollars as a signing bonus for enlisting?”

You’re commanding that clone?

So of course, it’s about choosing a valuable manager, so I thought that was natural. And 10 times the deposit, 10 million dollars? Are you crazy?

Naru lost her mind.

Oh my goodness, even so, it’s not even twice as much, it’s ten times?

“Full belly!”

“Huh- Okay, good choice. I guess I’ll have to go to jail while I pay back the ten million dollars.”

“?”

“At $20,000 a year, you’ll probably have to rot away in prison for about 500 years. Working 100 hours a week without rest will rot your body away just like your rotten mind.”

Sleep. Wait a minute.

Prison? Prison?

Without lawsuits or trials?

“You’re talking nonsense. In this day and age when mutant monsters are after the Empire and cannibals are after humanity, a woman who played around with military service is going to sue? She’s going to sue the Empire? A trial? For what reason?”

“······.”

“You’re such a lucky bitch. If you hadn’t had anything to do with the Holy Kingdom, you’d have been dragged to the front lines the moment you started talking nonsense. Now, pack your bags and get out of here! There’s a convoy waiting over there to take that flower-headed bitch to hell!”

“······.”

“Why don’t you pack your bags? Instead, why don’t you call the Holy Kingdom? Tell them you owe them ten million dollars and ask them to pay you back?”

“······.”

What if it was revealed that he had cut ties with Maru after making a phone call? Naru kept her mouth shut because she knew that all the special privileges she had received up until now would come back to haunt her.

“I’m sending you straight to jail because it’s obvious you’ll run away without paying. So either pack your bags and go to jail or go back and crawl!”

“······.”

Naru began to crawl on the floor quietly.

‘You said that only I can command the clones.’

A venom rose from her eyes.

As time passed, in early December, Naru was assigned her first mission with the Fludy Mary clones. It was a mission to eradicate mutant rats near the Brooklyn Navy Yard in New York.

‘This is the kind of mission it’s been from the very beginning.’

His clones were so amazing. They were clones, so they had the same DNA as him, but why were their physical abilities so different?

Thinking back, Maru was the same. That day… he moved in a way that was so inhuman that it was hard to believe that they were born to the same parents.

A memory that still comes to mind sometimes.

A sea of ​​blood in a meat processing warehouse.

If only I had that kind of power…

Naru and her clones set out to subdue the mutant rats that had settled near the Brooklyn Navy Yard.

======

======

New York, the city that never sleeps, has shadows as dark as its bright lights.

[Brooklyn A Sector Refugees are holding out.]

[Forcibly disband.]

Brooklyn, bordering the South Harbor, had many red-brick buildings. Most of them were empty factories and warehouses, as well as bars and dormitories used by dock workers.

[How many people are there here?]

[Kick them all out!]

[Shipyard-related facilities need to be built, but what are we going to do if we just sit here?]

[Nowhere to go? Why is there no place to go? It’s not the city, but the outskirts of the town that is severely underpopulated.]

As the end progressed, the light and shadow became darker.

People from the central region flocked to the safe Empire and Holy Kingdom, while refugees who were reluctant to go to the Holy Kingdom’s HOLLY flocked to the Empire’s New York.

People who had been pushed in like that, unable to withstand the rising prices, began to move to the outskirts, and settled in Brooklyn, an area full of abandoned factories and empty houses.

[This is driving me crazy. Is this what happens if I tell you to go to the countryside?]

[Did they put honey on New York?]

[The warning message is useless, so there is no answer.]

And the refugees gathered in this way looked like a well-prepared buffet to the rats. The rats, who had settled in the empty factories and houses, cleverly hunted the refugees.

Hundreds of people have disappeared, including older couples, those with underlying medical conditions, those traveling alone or those without apparent social connections.

[How many people were in Sector A?]

[2,516 people.]

[now?]

[2,522 people]

[I’m talking about the new refugees. Didn’t over 500 of them go to Sector A?]

[Then there should be at least 3,000 people···.]

The number in Sector A right now is around 2,500.

[At the very least, we should assume that more than 500 people are missing.]

[······.]

The rats gradually grew in size and finally succeeded in establishing a base on the ground. The Imperial Army, who realized this fact belatedly, chose Brooklyn as the place to demonstrate the clone troop.

“Welcome, Ensign Kalin. This is Major Brooks, in charge of field control.”

“Where should I start organizing?”

“···I think it would be good to start from Sector A.”

“Okay, let’s get started right away.”

“Okay then.”

Naru’s eyes, which had come out, were sunken.

Her thoughts had changed a lot as to whether the six weeks of rolling and grinding had been effective.

The hard realization that the military was not a vacation, that $1 million was a lot of money, and that life was far and wide without $100,000.

‘I’ll show you properly.’

The first mission was just to catch a rat, but based on what we learned in training, it wasn’t easy.

[Link starts.]

[Start link.]

Naru concentrated her mind as she had been training.

As the psychic amplifier mounted on his helmet began to work, he could sense the movements of the clones. If Link became more solid, he would be able to sense the clones’ senses. It was still a long way off.

[Find the rat.]

Naru’s clones, divided into six teams of five each, began to sweep through Sector A.

The refugees captured on the clone’s tactical camera were the epitome of shabby. Naru frowned at the stark scene.

Why can’t they leave New York, even though they live in abandoned buildings? Why do they flock to New York?

That thought was fleeting, as one of the clones discovered a giant rat inside an abandoned warehouse and began chasing it. The rat continued to move in one direction, seemingly unaware of its pursuer.

[Support attached.]

The moment the surrounding clones moved to their backup positions, the clone that had been closely chasing them suddenly changed his vision. Naru frowned at the headache that followed.

[Chijijijik-]

The video seemed to change, but then it cut off.

[Fox 3. Check the tactical camera.]

Naru gave orders to the training unit, but what came back was a heavy headache.

[Check the Fox 3 tactical camera.]

[Chijijijik—]

A headache that felt like my frontal lobe was being hit with a rubber hammer also lasted for a while.

Naru could feel the link between herself and the clone being severed.

‘He’s dead?’

So you lost your clone like this?

That shouldn’t have happened. That shouldn’t have happened. Naru shouted obsessively.

[Back up! Everyone in! Everyone in and kill them!]
