RUST -676

Ki-sun immediately relayed the situation to Maru.

As expected, Joseph Meyer will attempt to cause biological terrorism in Canada and Detroit, and will attempt to turn the citizens of the Holy Kingdom into cannibals, thereby shaking the entire Holy Kingdom.

[What do you think?]

[Na Ju-yeon also agreed with this idea.]

Maru, who had been lost in thought for a moment, sent a text message.

[Indiscriminate spread of infection… It’ll be difficult. The infectiousness of cannibals has almost disappeared.]

[It is expected that Virginia Langley’s technology will be considerable in terms of biological weapons. I think so too. I think it would be a good idea to respond by thinking that they have succeeded in extracting or concentrating the initial mutation factor from cockroaches.]

Ki-soon and Na-ju-yeon gradually checked the expected threats. The first thing they did was to look through the data they had brought from Virginia Langley’s secret laboratory.

As a result, it was revealed that the Confederacy was betting its life on the development of various biological weapons. Although they initially claimed that cannibals, werewolves, and vampires were new types of humanity, from the perspective of the general public, they were just like biological weapons.

In contrast, the Empire was researching a variety of fields, pursuing balanced development based on the research results constantly coming out of laboratories connected to Ivy League universities.

However, since the military field was pursuing mass production of clone soldiers, research was focused in that direction.

In contrast, the Holy Kingdom initially focused on artificial intelligence and related technologies, but after breaking through the singularity, there were virtually no restrictions on research.

Even though they had surpassed the singularity, the pharmaceutical side mainly used Na Ju-yeon’s abilities.

When improving mutant virus treatments and inhibitors, or when improving neutralizers that can reduce the side effects of Berserker Fall and control Maru’s overheat state, only Na Ju-yeon’s abilities were used.

The same goes for research into making a drug that prevents the body’s structure from changing due to biological contamination. Maru was restricting Najuyeon from using the singularity using quantum computers and grape bunches.

[Is that because you think Na Ju-yeon might go crazy?]

[okay.]

It’s not that he didn’t trust her since she came this far, but in Maru’s eyes, Na Ju-yeon was a researcher who had once crossed the line.

It was Na Ju-yeon who made Director Kim into Director Kim, and it was she who transformed her father, Chairman Nao Jin of the Ohjin Group, into biotechnology.

Would it be okay to freely release Na Ju-yeon’s desire for research? Maru’s judgment was ‘not good.’ That’s why he put her in charge of the floating city construction project.

Ki-sun-do could understand Maru’s judgment. However, now that the threat of biological weapons terrorism was almost certain, it was not a good idea to just seal Na-ju-yeon’s research ability.

[I think you need to level up to some extent just to deal with enemy attacks.]

[know.]

Ki-soon could understand why Maru was against Na Ju-yeon’s biological weapons research. This was because Maru himself was essentially Na Ju-yeon’s test subject.

How long has it been since the text messages stopped coming and going?

Maru contacted Na Ju-yeon directly.

[Restrictions on research using quantum computers and grape bunches will be lifted. However, no research can be conducted without the supervision of the artificial intelligence Diana.]

[Okay, let me use the simulation too.]

If we had that, we could minimize animal testing and human testing.

[okay.]

[I will try to upload the research report every week.]

For survival and safety, Maru was unsealed.

When we ran simulations using quantum computers and grape bunches up to Mayan City 4.0, a flood of terrorism scenarios using biological weapons emerged.

[People with abilities are resistant to cannibalism. If we analyze the cause of this resistance, we may be able to stop the spread of cannibalism.]

[Is it possible to make something like a vaccine?]

[It’s not a vaccine, but I think we could make a drug that would have a similar effect.]

[······.]

Maru was momentarily speechless.

‘crazy···.’

Certainly, Na Ju-yeon’s constraint ability was close to a kind of ‘inherent ability’. She was producing results in just two days after being allowed to use the quantum computer and the bunch of grapes.

It was already known that those with powers were less susceptible to cannibalism. However, that did not mean they were completely immune.

There were also cases where people with abilities turned into cannibals and became superior beings. A representative example was Director Yu. It was difficult to mutate, but once a person with abilities turned into a cannibal, the synergy effect was tremendous.

95%~98% of the ability users had their physical abilities enhanced. If they became cannibals, their physical abilities would significantly improve.

From the cannibal’s unique regenerative ability to disease resistance, detoxification and resistance, and the ability to respond to rapid temperature changes, if a person with the ability turns into a cannibal, a cannibal with the same survival skills as a cockroach is born.

The problem was when people with psychic abilities or special abilities, rather than those with physical abilities, became cannibals. People with special abilities generally had weak physical abilities. At best, they had physical abilities that were at the level of those who exercised regularly.

However, the moment they become cannibals, they gain the physical abilities of a cannibal in addition to their special abilities.

[No matter how resistant you are, if you are exposed to pollution for a long time, you will inevitably mutate.]

Because of long-term contamination.

Then the air passes.

The quantity would have to be enormous to cause long-term contamination through airborne infection. It would have been impossible for them to carry that much when they were fleeing after their base was raided.

[The same goes for polluting water sources.]

The current water sources were the Great Lakes and nearby rivers. It was virtually impossible to pollute that overwhelming volume. What was left was food.

[Military supplies cannot be touched.]

It was produced 90% through an automated process. In addition, the artificial intelligence Diana and Samantha were directly controlling and controlling it. It was impossible to penetrate the security.

Even if they were successful in infiltrating and contaminating the supplies, there was no way to secretly contaminate them, so they could just discard the contaminated supplies.

[delivery?]

[I guess so.]

What they were targeting was the civilian food market.

[Since they’re going to infect those with abilities, the target areas will be Montreal and Detroit.]

Ki-soon and Na-ju-yeon agreed with Maru’s reasoning. Montreal was full of holes, so it would be difficult to prevent them in advance, but Detroit was different.

[Detroit looks like they’ll use her.]

[who?]

[The woman who tried to use a beauty trap. A cook.]

Ki-soon’s words made Maru think of Bbang-soon. She was a woman who was very good at bread and pastry. Kim Yang, the nurse, and even the psychometric Erica were all crazy about the desserts Bbang-soon made.

[Is it dangerous?]

[Even without that, when I asked Diana to keep an eye on me, I found evidence of a large order of snacks from HOLLYGRAM.]

[Tracking?]

[Samantha and Xenia Roden followed.]

If the AI ​​Samantha and Hood had started backtracking, they would have caught up with them in no time. So tracing the trail wasn’t a problem.

The more fundamental problem was that they had accessed the Holy Kingdom’s Social Network Services (SNS).

Even if they had come from the Confederacy to the Holy Kingdom territory, it would have been a problem, and even if they had already established themselves as spies, it would have been a problem.

[Don’t miss it.]

[of course.]

This was a chance to weed out everything that was hiding in Canada.

What the subscriber wanted was to make various desserts and hold an event with them.

[I would like the first event to be targeted at soldiers guarding the Holy Kingdom.]

Is this a consolation event?

The confectionery and bakery of the Holy Kingdom are said to be of a high standard, but they are nothing compared to what Roana Blanc herself makes. The desserts she makes are the highest quality and are delivered daily to the Holy Kingdom’s core Ark Tower.

If this had been sent to regular soldiers, it would have been a good enough event.

[And next time, I would like to hold an event for mercenaries in Montreal.]

The subscriber who sponsored 100 gold requested 5 events.

Since the event costs 100 gold for five times, it’s a 20 gold quest at a time. I decided to do Roana Blanc unconditionally.

[We will deliver the materials from here. If you leave the materials you need, we will send them to you in the highest quality.]

It was good, although the event quantity was not small and had to be made in units of tens of thousands, so I thought the material cost would be high.

Roana Blanc worked hard, even using people. The first event was a canelé. It was a dessert that took a lot of work and time, but when a subscriber gave a quest, it was a high-quality dessert, so I chose this.

Knock-knock-knock-

Roana Blanc, who was diligently wrapping individually, raised her head at the sound of a knock on the window. The crow from ‘Kaz-ak-i-yo’ was knocking outside the window.

“You’re early. Did you see the text? I have to deliver to the Detroit defense and all the way to Montreal. Oh, would you like to try one of these?”

A crow slaps a canelé with its beak as Roana Blanc holds it out.

uh?

Her eyes grew wide.

“What are you doing now?”

“Kaaaah- Cheepo handaaaak!”

Foodddeuk-

Crows filled the window, glaring at Roana Blanc and the cooks who had come out to help.

yes?

Newport News Shipyard

The carcasses of rats were strewn across the steel floor.

The pieces of corpses scattered here and there were red clumps of blood and blackened marks mixed together, as if they had self-destructed.

Jjuik-jeobuk-jeobuk

A sticky, sticky voice echoed softly, matching the sound of footsteps stepping on sticky drops of blood.

“You will think that it is dark under the lamp. That is why you will not be able to let go of your obsession near the headquarters···.”

That was enough. Vladimir Kalin and Jania Kim, the core forces of the Holy Kingdom, and the experienced guards and punitive forces were already tied up in the empty headquarters.

“Since they are capable, they would have anticipated a biological weapon attack and would have judged Detroit and Montreal to be dangerous.”

It wasn’t just a simple stab. It was a hidden purpose to divert their minds, but it wasn’t a tactic that was just pretending to do something.

Edmund Garfield, commander of Carrier Strike Group II, groaned at Joseph Meyer’s words.

Ughhhhhhh-

Joseph Meyer, who had been watching with indifferent eyes as the black veins running up his forearm slowly began to encroach on the nape of his neck, tossed away the empty syringe.

“What happened?”

[Control room control is complete.]

The Holy Kingdom guys were too reliant on rats and AI. It’s true that they’re a difficult combination to break through, but it’s not impossible to break through with a combination of new humans and power users. Especially if it’s a small-scale infiltration like this, rather than an all-out war.

“What about those who escaped?”

“Some of the fire rats and acid rats have escaped, but it appears they will not be able to penetrate the R-program.”

With the perimeter surrounded by layers of cockroaches, it was impossible for them to escape, whether they were acid rats or suicide rats.

“What about the acidic seagull?”

“Those that have woken up from hibernation have been disposed of, and the rest are invading.”

“After I finish cleaning up here, I’ll go straight to the empire.”

“ancient.”

Krrrrrrrr – kkugh –

Admiral Edmund Garfield, commander of the Second Fleet, writhing in agony, lunged at the man tied up next to him.

Kkaaaaaaah-

The screams continued for quite some time. Joseph Meyer, who had been calmly watching the scene of flesh being torn off and blood spurting out, turned around.

With the 2nd Fleet and two new aircraft carriers, it was a restoration of national-level power.

[I caught the guys who were secretly working on the Canadian side. They were using me as a subscriber to give out event quests.]

[······.]

[Roana Blanc knew nothing.]

[Are you sure?]

[Oh. I checked with psychometry and they said that’s true.]

Maru’s eyes narrowed at Gisun’s text.

They say they prevented a terrorist attack, but somehow I feel uneasy.
