RUST -669

The major cities of the Confederacy were populated primarily by cannibals and vampires.

Among the seven states that made up the Confederacy, Texas was conservative enough to indiscriminately kill those infected with the mutant virus in the early stages, but that is now a thing of the past.

Once cannibals and vampires took over the upper class and key figures of the Confederacy, it began to decline rapidly.

The same goes for Texas’s unique conservatism.

Cannibals and vampires have completely neutralized the rebellious spirit of Texas. They have used their dominance, charm, and psychic power to turn those who serve as the center into fools.

The Texas spirit, which was conservative but proud in its own way, was made to be true to its desires by using a psychic generator.

After disarming the people, distribution began in earnest.

The lower-level cannibals who received a rural village as a manor began to fight against mutated monsters and started a livestock(?) business. They dreamed of becoming higher-level individuals by raising and increasing them well, supplying them in abundance, and satisfying their appetites, while the higher-level individuals and werewolves wanted to live in the city and satisfy their appetites to become stronger.

Whether they were low-class or high-class werewolves, their goals were all the same. To eat people, become stronger, fight and fight, and achieve greater feats. So ultimately, they dreamed of becoming nobles.

In this way, a vertical ruling structure centered on the nobility took root in the big cities in an instant. And now, in just over a year, the big cities of the Confederacy have become theirs alone.

The poor and the homeless have disappeared from the city for some time.

There were no people walking on the streets that were so clean and tidy. The only things filling the spaces between the buildings were eight-lane roads and cars.

The general public, unaware of the gravity of the situation, was simply happy about the improved public safety and the disappearance of homeless people and addicts.

But when night falls and a night market opens up around the park, the world changes 180 degrees.

There were some common people among the people gathered in the market, but most of them were followers. They were overflowing with people who sold their children’s flesh and their own blood in order to rise in social status.

“It is fresh blood drawn from a virgin.”

“Heart and liver disease in less than 40 months.”

“You crazy kids.”

“Don’t worry about it, just go.”

A man who came out to see the night market for the first time exploded in anger. The woman tried to stop him, telling him to just go, but the man, who had a strong sense of justice, insisted on calling the police.

“What are the police doing? There are so many crazy kids here.”

“Who reported it?”

“Here it is. I reported it.”

“You reported that there was someone selling human flesh. Would you please step out for a moment to write a statement?”

The man who went out with the police never came back. And the woman who called the police because her boyfriend wasn’t coming also disappeared.

The night in the Confederacy deepened as the splendid lights of the night market grew brighter.

“Really? You’re saying you don’t age?”

“Yes, it does not completely prevent aging, but it has been found that aging is delayed by about 20 to 30 times.”

Although it is not immortality or rejuvenation, as higher-ranking individuals or nobles become closer to immortality, many people dream of becoming cannibals and vampires starting in their mid-teens.

This was especially true for women, who were particularly sensitive to aging. At the same time, romances with cannibals and vampires became a fad.

“Wake up. Do you think it’s normal for cannibals and werewolves to be running around? They’re all caused by a mutated virus.”

The conservative father couldn’t understand his daughter’s tastes.

“Oh my? A cannibal. A new species. And if the child likes it, just leave it alone. Who knows? Maybe I’ll get a noble son-in-law?”

“What? Are you out of your mind?”

When her parents started arguing, the daughter screamed.

“What’s wrong with saying I like it! That kind of thinking is discrimination.”

“······.”

The father was left speechless by his daughter’s cry asking what kind of world this is that makes him make such discriminatory remarks.

Cannibals were quickly replaced by the term “new human race”. Werewolves were treated as if they were shape-shifters, and vampires borrowed the image of noble noblemen of the night.

Even without that, popular culture is not picky about the objects of love, from ghouls to werewolves to vampires, so when cannibals and vampires called the new human race (noblesse) appeared in reality, the response was enormous.

“You. Where have you been? What’s that wound on your arm?”

“······.”

“What’s wrong with your face? Why are you so pale? Where does it hurt?”

“······.”

The man looked outside the half-open door. The house was completely covered in a greenhouse, but cold air was coming in through the open door. The outside of the door was as quiet as the cold air.

When the child’s feelings were not felt, the man felt ominous and said.

“What about the child?”

“······.”

At her husband’s question, the pale-faced young wife turned her head without saying a word.

“What about our child?”

“······.”

“Where is my child!!!”

The wife did not answer.

Strong power, unique dominance and charm, and a presence that made followers willingly sacrifice their own flesh and blood, even their children.

The great cities of the Confederacy appeared to be safe during the day, but at night they were cities of blood and slaughter, disguised as decadence and pleasure.

“It’s a good thing it’s winter. The pretty good ones are all huddled inside like moles.”

“Right. Let’s just fill in the numbers quickly.”

“Where are you going today?”

“I know a girl that Nari would like.”

“Oh? Him? His younger brother looks nice too.”

“Really? Madam will like it.”

The possessed people formed a group and began to kidnap people openly. Even though each household was armed with a gun, it was not enough to stop the followers who came in droves.

“My child has been kidnapped!”

“How old are you?”

“14 and 17 years old.”

“Are you both women?”

When the wife was unable to continue speaking, the husband answered on her behalf.

“My son is 14 years old and my daughter is 17 years old.”

“Are you sure she was kidnapped? There have been a lot of runaways lately.”

The husband spoke to the police officer in a suppressed voice.

“If you look here, there are clear bullet marks. Are you saying he ran away? Did they shoot outside and come in…”

The man lost his temper and trailed off.

Anyway, the police looked around.

“Hmm. Okay. Let’s check the surrounding CCTV first.”

Most of the police officers working in the major Confederate cities were low-level cannibals. And soon after, the house was put up for sale on the real estate market.

The real estate agent told the people who came to see the empty house that when the siblings ran away from home, a depressed couple went down to the countryside.

Those who were not tempted by cannibals and vampires were left in grief as they watched the world fall apart.

Then one day

Judgment has come upon the fallen city.

The time is a little after lunch in the afternoon.

A hydrogen bomb weighing over 25 tons was dropped on the city with a giant parachute.

As the sun crashes to the ground and explodes

The rising heat vaporized the surroundings.

············

At first it was just evaporation.

Everything began to disappear, like a drop of water falling on a hot iron plate and disappearing with a sizzling sound.

Flash-

The intense light soon became heat.

The hot ball that rose up like the sun erased everything.

□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□——

The huge building that had remained as a shadow in the bright halo disappeared. At the same time, the eight-lane road and the small park all evaporated into a circle.

!!!

People near the explosion site could not hear the explosion because it was erased before the sound of something exploding.

The remaining traces were scattered in all directions by the ultra-high pressure. A nuclear storm with loud noise and high heat began to sweep away everything.

■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■——

The building was broken like a tree branch, leaving only a few steel columns. The place where the scorching storm passed was ignited by fire, turned to charcoal, and then went out.

The fire that was lit was instantly extinguished by the intense heat and wind.

The embers that had been silenced began to burn again after a huge mushroom cloud rose into the sky and the air began to circulate.

Flames burst out from everything that was hot.

The sight of a corpse that had already been burned burning again like a torch, sizzling with the sound of boiling oil.

Oh my god.

The judgment of God created by human hands… has descended upon reality.

It was an eight-fierce hell that cannot be described in movies or novels.

The new airship of the Holy Kingdom picked up speed against the backdrop of a giant mushroom cloud rising high into the stratosphere.

“That’s incredible.”

“If I had just been watching it without paying attention, my eyesight would have gone bad.”

“They said it was Tsar Bomba-class, but isn’t it much stronger?”

“That? I saw that video too. I think that one is stronger than that one.”

The explosion was so powerful that I could almost feel the heat.

“Wow- I feel a tingling sensation all over my body even though I’m this far away.”

“They say they dropped five bombs like that in London and Paris.”

London and Paris were sure to be wiped out. Just one room seemed like a world turned upside down, but five rooms?

“Whatever was there probably didn’t survive.”

“yes.”

“With that level of firepower, I don’t think you could survive even if you hid pretty deep underground.”

The crew members headed forward, chattering away.

Beneath the large mushroom cloud rising in the distance, the blazing hell gradually became smaller.

As soon as news of the operation’s success was delivered, text messages from Ki-sun came in like a rush.

[No way. Did that work?]

Honestly, I thought Ki-soon would fail. No matter how cute the Kki-yong-ki-yong robot drone was, it was like that. Moreover, he said he would bomb 8 hours after the declaration of war, and he succeeded?

‘I told you he’s really great.’

Ki-soon looked amazed at how Maru had endured the eight hours since the non-aggression pact was broken.

If you don’t launch a preemptive strike, you won’t know. ‘Pearl Harbor.’ It was definitely unusual to wait 8 hours even though the opportunity came.

Ki-sun nodded slightly, saying, “How dare you wait, knowing that it would be much more effective to strike without declaring war.”

[By the way, how did you know where the headquarters was located?]

“There used to be a woman who would poison crows and seduce them. She was called a fake nurse.”

I knew where the front company was from tracking the fake nurse woman from before. All I needed for the operation to succeed was to let their guard down.

That’s why Maru didn’t think about failure. There’s no way the cannibals could properly manage the stomach headquarters.

And the prediction was right. Maru had no intention of stopping here. Once he started, he had to keep going.

“After the napalm bombing, I was going to hit it myself.”

If we blow up all the flesh processing plants, blood banks, etc., the true colors of these so-called new humans will be revealed.

[Do you really have to go? I’ve said this several times before, but you’re the king. You don’t have to go.]

“No. This time, I have to go. If those so-called nobles survive, the damage will be great.”

When you think of queens, princesses, and self-proclaimed nobles, it was right for them to go themselves.

[Damn it. It won’t work even if you try to stop me, so let me just say this. Don’t push yourself too hard. If you feel cold, avoid me. If you die, it won’t just be you who dies, but all the people who believed in you and followed you.]

“···I get it.”

Ki-soon was sparing with words at the ellipsis that told him to stop nagging. The only silver lining was that the hydrogen bomb made by the Holy Kingdom was a bomb that minimized radioactive contamination, so it was possible to deploy a punitive force centered around the Royal Guard.

“Radioactive contamination is not a problem.”

The old Hood had brought back from New York and had also included technology to remove radioactive contamination.

Although the technology was still in the hypothesis stage, researchers at the Holy Kingdom have succeeded in making some of the technology to remove radioactive contamination a reality using quantum computers, artificial intelligence, and virtual reality.

There were various technologies, such as radioactive neutralization/detoxification solutions, plants that absorb radioactivity, and microorganisms that decompose radioactive contaminated organic matter.

Before searching the city, it would have been enough to spray a neutralizer and a detoxifying agent once and then go in. Even without that, the new exosuit could respond to radiation and biochemical warfare.

[The guards and punitive force are ready.]

“let’s go.”

The airship carrying Maru and the punitive force departed for Texas.

The power of the hydrogen bomb, which was more powerful than the Tsar Bomba, was terrifying. The hypocenter was vaporized, the surrounding area melted, and everything within the radius was set ablaze.

But they were tough. A vampire with half its body charred crawled out of the ashes. White smoke rose from its sizzling skin.

Kkeuuuuuuu-

Her once young and plump skin became dull and wrinkled in real time, as she rapidly drew energy to regenerate the burned half.

Ugh- Ugh-

Red, bloodshot eyes looked around. Blood was needed. Now.

But all he could see with one eye was burning ruins. It was dangerous to continue like this.

Ugh-

The vampire’s ears perked up at the sound coming from beyond the burning rubble.

“Over here. Over here! Save someone!”

If only he had come, he could have escaped the crisis.

His mouth began to water as he felt the vampire’s desperate cries coming closer and closer.

Kkiyungkkiyung.

The vampire was somehow pleased with the subtle sound. And after a while, he heard a young woman’s voice.

[Oops – I found one here.]

Clank-
