RUST -625

If you ask the Confederates what they think of the Empire?

empire?

Hypocrites who claim to be the defenders of liberal democracy and market economy and the descendants of the United States of America. The results of their blatant hypocrisy have been proven to be chaos in order, moral corruption, and politics that have fallen into populism.

Those who headed south hated the hypocrisy of the East.

You’re saying that you can have an abortion as you please?

How is that any different from murder?

Same-sex marriage?

Are you crazy?

Drugs are a disease?

Are you saying that the drug addicts are taking medicine and asking for treatment with tax money?

What’s worse, they’re changing the immigration laws so that people can immigrate even if they can’t speak English? They’re saying it’s okay if you only speak Spanish and not English?

Is immigration gone crazy? Is the country crazy?

The South was seething even before the apocalypse. They saw the great United States of America rotting away, even if you set aside religious views.

Even if you are ridiculed for having a tradition that is only 200 years old, isn’t a 200-year tradition a tradition? Isn’t it the basics of labor to work hard and reap the rewards you’ve shed?

But stocks, bonds, options, futures, whatever. You say that exploiting the fruits of your hard work with a few keystrokes of a keyboard is the flower of capitalism?

Isn’t the essence of capitalism that it starts with sound labor? Sound labor accumulates and accumulates surplus capital, and that surplus capital is invested in companies, and companies that grow through that investment pay dividends to investors.

Wasn’t that the right capitalist cycle? Instead of just talking about future value and growth potential and committing fraud.

“Cannibal? That bastard is a cannibal! Catch him and kill him!”

“You couldn’t control your anger? What did you eat? Kill me!”

So, from the beginning of the situation, the South responded differently from the East and West.

Those who developed anger management disorders due to the mutant virus were quarantined. The same was true when cannibalism was rampant.

The Chinese grocery store that appeared to be the cause of the outbreak was closed, and people who frequently visited the store were preemptively quarantined.

As a result, the South had a relatively small number of zombified mutant patients and cannibals contaminated with Chinese food ingredients. In the beginning.

The South that used to be like that has now become a den of cannibals, werewolves, and vampires.

Although cannibals transmitted through food or created through bodily fluid exchange among civilians were virtually wiped out, the number of cannibals and werewolves created through experiments increased.

“A den? What kind of monsters are we?”

“You little monsters.”

The man who was called a monster responded with a chuckle.

“In our view, politicians like you are monsters.”

“Tch- kill him!”

A stubborn-looking middle-aged man spoke, spitting out blood-tinged phlegm.

“If you thought you could escape death so easily, you were mistaken. You, sir. You need to know what kind of beings the new human race is. Don’t you? Chairman.”

“This dirty thing. It wasn’t research on controlling monsters from the beginning!”

The middle-aged man’s struggles became more intense. As if appreciating such struggles, a man in a neat suit spoke in a calm tone.

“Senator Robin McDowell. Let’s not come here and pretend to be innocent. You know that the experiment to control the new species was a success. That the higher species can control the lower species. And the whole werewolf thing and the nobles thing. And now you’re suddenly opposing it as if you didn’t know anything. Do you have a conscience? It’s ridiculous to ask politicians for a conscience.”

The Confederacy was largely divided into two.

There were those who wanted to maintain a conservative culture and worldview and those who wanted to reorganize the world into a system suitable for the end times centered on the new human race.

And now that the possibility of nobility has been secured, the moment has come to throw away the existing modest balance.

“Are you going to act hypocritically like the East? Do you still think that the world can be maintained by voting? Do you think that you should continue the populism that you so hate?”

“Aren’t you guys trying to turn humans into livestock? Populism is better than that!”

“After all the sacrifices made in Seattle over wasteful arguments that are completely unnecessary for survival, do you still want to protect the old generation’s elections and democracy? After all, aren’t most of them livestock? They eat, poop, and give birth. Huh? These days, only cockroaches have babies.”

“······.”

The president of the Virginia Company, Joseph Meyer, was mumbling calmly with a blank expression on his face. A slight look of contempt passed across his face.

“The United States is being eaten up by scumbags who have no patriotism, no respect for society, and not even a shred of conscience, morality, or consideration. The federal government, the federal courts, and the House and Senate, instead of cleaning them up, are the majority. And the capitalist hyenas who lobby these guys and are only interested in making money. Don’t you agree that all of that is the problem?”

The Virginia Company began as a federal intelligence agency based in Langley, Virginia. For many years, Virginia Langley sought the prosperity and glory of the United States from the shadows of the United States.

okay.

I did.

If all they wanted, despite all the humiliation, was the prosperity and glory of the United States, it was precisely the politicians and lobbying elected by democracy that destroyed that patriotism.

Under pressure from politicians lobbied by pharmaceutical companies, Virginia Langley conducted unethical experiments. And later, the secret pharmaceutical and drug administration experiments that Virginia Langley had been conducting were exposed and blown up.

Virginia Langley gets the swearing, and private companies and politicians get the honey. The experimental data released to the big pharmaceutical companies became the basis for various mental illness treatments and cures, such as depression, insomnia, and anorexia.

How can we understand that the results of unethical experiments are used not to protect the security of the United States, but to enrich private companies?

“Ku …

“Senator Robin McDowell, what we’re talking about here is not justification.”

“······.”

“It’s just the way it is. The way it is.”

It’s become common to see Virginia Langley appear as a villain or a mastermind in movies, and when something like a government assassin appears, Virginia Langley is the one appearing.

Virginia Langley was a group that would do anything for the prosperity and glory of the United States. And this is the result?

If it was beneficial to the United States, he committed assassination, and if it was beneficial to distribute drugs, he distributed them.

Why was it possible to do all that smuggling, wiretapping, surveillance, kidnapping, and illegal experiments? It was because they had the protection of lobbied politicians. And furthermore, because there were people who elected those politicians.

Why do citizens elect politicians like that?

Why do we elect people who commit illegal acts and only look out for their own interests?

It was for profit, whether it was material gain or spiritual comfort.

According to our fancy democracy, it was the citizens who had the right to vote that allowed the liars to do politics.

Even if it’s for the national interest, it’s okay to assassinate someone.

Even if it means stealing corporate secrets or wiretapping allies, it is for the national interest.

Even if it is an unethical experiment, if it is for the national interest.

Everything passed.

And this national interest, in other words, meant the private interests of certain corporations, the military, and some politicians. So it was no wonder that Virginia Langley became corrupt.

“The world has changed. What matters now is not the votes of pigs and dogs, but power. It’s the law of the jungle, the survival of the fittest.”

“······.”

“If the old system had continued, politicians like you would have gathered together to try to control the Virginia Company and the military, and you would have succeeded. But what happened? You ended up waiting for the decision, and most politicians joined us.”

“······.”

As Virginia Langley and the military began to exert real influence, most politicians defected, hoping to become immortal aristocrats.

“The reality you face is the result of the choices made by the majority. It is a reality created by politicians like you, so I hope you accept it with open arms.”

A mockery appeared on Joseph Meyer’s expressionless face.

“Then let’s begin.”

“I was just waiting for those words.”

The man who had been waiting for her from the beginning took out a syringe from his bosom. Robin McDowell flailed his motionless body as he saw the red-tinged syringe.

“That. That. Don’t. Don’t do it!”

“If you tell me not to do something, I want to do it more.”

Hehehe- There was no sign of stubbornness on the face of the man who was tired of the syringe slowly approaching him.

“Don’t! Please! Kill me instead! Please kill me!”

“It’s better because you hate it so much. Keep going. Keep going. Hey.”

Phew-

“Eeeeek! Lord. Kill me.”

The senator’s body, having been injected, began to twist like a pretzel.

“What should I say in this situation? Should I just count the stains on the ceiling and it’ll be over soon?”

The man chuckled frivolously, threw the empty syringe on the floor, and shrugged his shoulders.

“Then what should we do?”

“Please let me have the wife you love so much.”

As the scheming man nodded, the men who had gone outside dragged a woman in. The middle-aged woman shouted at the two of them.

“Hey. This is a different promise! If you hand that person over, if you hand over the information of the members! You said you would make me immortal. Aristocrat. Aristocrat!”

“Ma’am. A promise is only valid to those who keep their promises.”

“I. I. I kept my promise. I gave you all the information you wanted!”

“What about the promise you made to your husband before you made your promise with us?”

“Wh. What is that···.”

“Pretend not to know, there’s something else. The promise I made with that man. The promise to trust, rely on, and love each other. The promise to spend the rest of my life together.”

The man who had been speaking in a whisper shrugged his shoulders and said.

“Do you know what that bitch who breaks her promises to her husband will do in the future? Huh? We only keep promises from people we trust.”

The man, giggling, shoved in the middle-aged woman his subordinate had brought in. The man, who had been having a seizure after receiving the injection, was now curled up and trembling.

“Sad. D…? Blood. Hae. Do. Ruin. It.”

Robin McDowell desperately hugged her forearm, her nails digging into her flesh until blood began to flow out. And the woman who saw her husband like that turned pale.

“Please. Ah. My. Am.”

“Oh my, it’s tear-jerking. It’s tear-jerking. That woman is the one you sold out.”

“That. That. Lie.”

“Why would I lie in this situation? And by the way, you’re the third child. Aren’t you curious about who your father is?”

Flutter- flutter-

To receive the paternity test paper, the hand that had been gripping my forearm released. The fingers dripping with blood grabbed the document with the test results written on it.

“Uh. Uh. Uh. How. Uh. Uh.”

Saliva flowed from the mouth of the cannibal who was looking at the woman with his piercing eyes. Then, the screams of the woman being eaten alive filled the room.

“It must be a delicacy to eat the woman who betrayed you. Hey- Welcome to the new world.”

A man who was giggling, and President Virginia who was looking on with a blank expression. And then there was a new person who was born.

New York. Embassy of the Holy Kingdom.

Maru and Gisun frowned at the same time after checking the information sent by President Den Brown.

“Is this real?”

“There is a high probability that it is real.”

“You can’t trust the intelligence agency. They’re people who are used to assassinations, wiretapping, and information manipulation.”

“so?”

“Looking at the data, it is true that President Den was trustworthy. But he said, ‘The reason for gaining trust is to gain the momentum to attack the commander-in-chief.’ And even then, the Yankee intelligence agency was left with nothing. Can we still trust what President Den says now that he has risen to the position of head of such an intelligence agency?”

“Even if you take that into account, there’s a good chance it’s true.”

“Why? Did you feel it again?”

Wasn’t that a feeling that only occurred when things were negative? Maru shook his head at Ki-soon’s question.

“It’s not a feeling. It’s because parts that were difficult to understand until now have been filled in.”

Ki-sun’s eyes narrowed even further at Maru’s answer.

“There were double agents in the Empire and the Confederacy, and the Empire’s spies went into the Confederacy and the Confederacy’s spies went into the Empire and fought intelligence wars. It was strange.”

As Maru said, it was strange. If the upper class was all cannibals, werewolves, and nobles, it meant that it would be nearly impossible for imperial agents to extract information from the Confederacy.

But the story that various information had been extracted up until now meant that there were people in the upper echelons of the Southern Alliance who were not so-called new humans.

And now, in the material sent by General Dan Brown, it was stated that all contact with the agents sent from the Empire to the Confederacy had been lost.

“I guess we should assume all the agents have been captured.”

Ki-sun accepted Maru’s words.

“I heard that the entire upper echelon of the Confederacy was eaten by cannibals… I wonder if they told us this because we are enemies of cannibals, and they wanted to make us and the Confederacy clash first.”

“······.”

The intercom rang as if it knew what the two were worried about.

[Governor, an emergency contact has arrived from Montreal.]

“Montreal? What’s it about?”

[That···. This is video footage. I recommend that you check it out for yourself.]

“Please upload it.”

When Ki-soon opens the video file, a voice is heard.

[We want to see the king too!]

[Show me the King!]

[Let me see! Let me see!]

[······.]

[We don’t want to roll!]

[I don’t want to roll!]

[I don’t like it! I don’t like it!]

[······.]

It was a video of Naru clones and Heeyeon and Director Yu clones facing off.

“······.”

“······.”
