RUST -678

Vampires who painted the surroundings red as if they were nothing.

[30 minutes left until filter replacement.]

‘Fucking bastards.’

Seeing the chemical, biological, and radiological response equipment on the Ripper suit helmet rotating nonstop, it wasn’t just blood. The moment he entered the bridge at the end of the hallway, Odo also felt goosebumps.

‘pitfall?’

Joseph Meyer wouldn’t have used a trap that would kill him, right? I thought they would have used a trap that would capture him alive, since they know the value of information, but judging from the way his survival instincts were reacting, that wasn’t the case.

Instead of going through the door that seemed to have a trap set up, Maru went through the wall next to it. A round hole was made in the thick iron plate.

Ting-

The sound of a clip popping. And a powerful flash of light and a loud noise erupted from inside the hole. The Ripper suit’s helmet blocked the sound above a certain decibel, and the light sensor automatically protected Maru’s eyesight.

Since they used flashbangs on the other side, it was Maru’s turn. Maru threw a vicious gas grenade, a combination of smoke and nerve gas, inward and moved to the opposite wall.

There was a low rumbling and gas popping noise from inside, but it was quiet. That meant they had chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear countermeasure equipment.

Taking advantage of the thick gap of nerve gas and smoke, Maru sneaked inside through the wall. The inside was also covered in blood, and the characteristic gurgling sound of blood was heard.

The inside of the control room was dark, as if the bulletproof screen had been lowered. Various sensors were used simultaneously to secure a field of vision, but nothing could be seen.

‘Ripper suit?’

Considering that the Ripper suit itself was developed by the old military and Virginia Langley, it wasn’t strange that they were using the Ripper suit.

However, if you think that those who boasted about their abilities as new humans and the pinnacle of evolution are wearing Reaper suits, then they have definitely changed.

Since he had no ability to use blood to determine the location of his opponent, Maru used one wall as a reference point and walked.

Kikgeuk-

A very small metallic sound was picked up by the acoustic sensor.

The problem was that the sound was coming from the ceiling. Even in a situation that should have been embarrassing, Maru calmly pretended not to know. If they were armed with ripper suits and hanging from the ceiling…

Maru moved while sticking flash grenades on the wall. After sticking about five, the wall bent to the right. The space that should have been the control room was empty.

When he tried to save Commander Edmund Garfield, it seemed too late. Maru glanced at the ceiling. There was a smooth, empty ceiling, as if there had been no sound at all.

‘Are you waiting for something?’

Even though Maru noticed that they were moving along the wall, they didn’t move. And Maru didn’t want to wait for them to do what they wanted.

Beep-

The flash grenade attached to the wall exploded simultaneously with a low electronic sound. The sight of those who were watching closely to make sure they didn’t miss Maru’s location turned white.

Ugh!

Turn it off!

The flash grenade of the Holy Kingdom, which was filled with new technology, could be called a new weapon. Maru jumped towards the guys who had taken off their Ripper Suit helmets and were rubbing their eyes, as if their optic nerves had been damaged by the strong light.

Thud- thud-

The sight of severed heads falling to the floor, like unripe fruit falling in the wind, decorated the bridge with the sight of headless torsos hanging upside down and swinging.

The number of enemies among the aircraft carriers in the 2nd Fleet and others in the lead was smaller than expected.

Kujik-

After confirming that the men had set a trap, Maru stopped using the normal passages and walls. He would sneak in through the outer walls, or break through the ceiling or floor to get inside.

Even mid-level cannibals or lower-level vampires were the leaders and commanded those who had just become cannibals.

‘Soldiers of the 2nd carrier battle group.’

The method of making them cannibals and using their dominance to take control. They succeeded in taking control of two carrier battle groups with a small number of people.

“West. Could it be Vladimir Kalin?”

“A ripper suit and a magic sword?”

“crazy!”

“That’s him.”

“Why is the King of the Holy Kingdom here?”

I had thought that the Holy Kingdom would send an investigation team at some point, but not now.

“You’re already here. Did you get the information?”

“That can’t be true.”

“Shut up and stop it.”

“Meat shield, lead the way!”

“Ugh- Please save me.”

“Forced. They are moving by force.”

Soldiers aiming their guns at the floor while their hands tremble.

“Uh- uh- this isn’t me. Really.”

“Please save me. Please save me.”

It was a pity that the soldiers were forced to become cannibals, but there was no immediate solution. If they just passed by, bigger problems would arise. All Maru could do was give them a comfortable rest.

Maru, who had been going around the 2nd fleet, wiping out vampires and cannibals, explained the situation to Ki-sun.

[Newport News Shipyard? Wow – thinking of robbing that place right after escaping from the yard where the main base is being robbed.]

Ki-soon has taken up arms. Even though the two carrier battle groups are stranded in a frozen harbor, it is not a big deal for a single carrier battle group to take down a country.

And what about the two new carriers that are only partially finished? If the carrier battle group consists of three carriers, the two new carriers plus one old carrier, it would be truly terrifying.

[The right to provide and control the seas was almost lost.]

The reason aircraft carriers were dangerous was that they could use fighter jets even when the weather cleared. All the regular airports were occupied by flocks of birds and rats.

In reality, takeoff and landing were impossible, so air power was meaningless, but it was different if an aircraft carrier floating on the sea was used.

The reason Maru accepted the 2nd Carrier Fleet and tried to build a new aircraft carrier was because of the air supremacy and sea supremacy. Even the carrier fleet had nuclear submarines and nuclear missiles as a set. That almost got blown up.

[What do they say in the Empire?]

[He said he had no idea about it.]

What do you mean…? You didn’t know that the two carrier battle groups right in front of you were eaten whole by cannibals and vampires?

[By the way, what happened to the stronghold?]

[It seems like there is someone with electrical and electronic skills.]

The AI ​​that manages the fortress, when threatened with being hacked by its unusual abilities, physically burned the board and self-destructed.

There were two fortresses that were hit like that. As the AIs fought back fiercely, they seemed to have left the remaining stronghold fortresses alone and focused on taking control of the 2nd carrier battle group.

[What are you going to do?]

The Holy Kingdom is a system where AI and humans fill in each other’s weaknesses, and Virginia Langley has hidden a power that can perfectly counter this.

A method of incapacitating humans with special psychic abilities and incapacitating artificial intelligence using electromagnetic abilities of special ability users.

Considering that Maru’s choice to strike first was a stroke of luck, considering that he had a psychic generator that could shake even the field mouse’s defenses.

[We have to catch Joseph Meyer.]

Maru was firm. The electromagnetic power user had to be caught as well. He had assumed that there might be someone with hacking powers, but it was really hard to believe that there really was one. In the Holy Kingdom, where artificial intelligence was performing most of the administrative work, it was like poison.

[How? I caught the guys in Canada, and they felt like a complete guerrilla organization.]

Ki-sun had caught the spy who gave the quest to Roana Blanc, but was unable to obtain any proper information.

[We have to do something about it.]

Maru spread out the map of North America and focused his senses. He didn’t know if his peculiar uneasiness would come out even if he did this, but if he couldn’t catch Joseph Meyer, there was a 100% chance that he would be in trouble for a long time.

‘I just took pictures of the places where problems could arise.’

Would it work if the target was a person?

Maru, who had been concentrating on the sensation for a while, suddenly frowned.

“Hey, see-”

It was because there were more than one or two places that felt uncomfortable. Montreal, Quebec, Toronto, Mississauga, Ottawa. The entire major city in Canada had a bad feeling.

Detroit is the same. It feels dangerous enough to be crimson in color. It couldn’t have been like this when they had taken control of all the Confederate nuclear facilities.

To make all those large cities feel uneasy, it would have to be a nuclear attack or a large-scale biochemical attack, but that wasn’t realistic now that the upper echelons of the Confederacy had been annihilated.

If there was ever a chance that a major city in the Holy Kingdom would be in danger at once, it was only one.

If the Empire attacked the Holy Kingdom, would Dan Brown be crazy enough to fight the Holy Kingdom? There was no reason to wage an all-out war against the Holy Kingdom unless the Empire’s upper echelons were truly insane.

‘The 2nd Carrier Strike Group is finished.’

I remembered the lament of Commander Edmund Garfield, who had become a cannibal. He and all of his other key officers and non-commissioned officers had become cannibals, so there was no choice but to take action.

Maru seemed to know the identity of the uneasiness rising from the map. That bastard Joseph Meyer. He was planning to turn the entire Imperial Command into cannibals.

Are the two new carriers and the 2nd carrier strike group at the Newport News Shipyard a sacrificial offering for negotiations with the Empire?

If we were to hand over two new aircraft carriers, their carrier battle groups, and the entire force that operates them, would the Empire be able to tolerate that?

Of course, I will say that we should discuss it in detail, and if Dan Brown and Imperial Command come to the negotiating table…

Maru’s heart started pounding.

An unpleasantly uncomfortable sensation began to lick my entire body.

‘A cannibal like Commander Edmund Garfield?’

Once you’ve made them cannibals, it’s easy to control them with your power. In fact, it’s like eating the entire empire.

What if they were to hold the entire Holy Kingdom hostage and demand Maru’s DNA? What if they were to demand tissue, blood, and semen? If they were to demand such things, it was obvious that the Imperial researchers would agree.

What if we launched a nuclear attack as soon as we took control of the Empire? The Empire and the Holy Kingdom were too close. And when you consider that Joseph Meyer’s special ability users could disable the AI ​​defense system, the risk increases dramatically.

Maru’s mood grew terribly cold. It was the worst possible situation, but it wasn’t impossible. If anything had happened, Joseph Meyer would do anything.

[Gisun-ah. Tell the Empire right away. The Newport News Shipyard has been reclaimed by the Holy Kingdom, and the Second Fleet has been completely restored.]

Maru immediately delivered a photo of the scene overflowing with blood.

[Tell me that I cleaned it up myself and send it to me as evidence.]

Ki-sun shook her head after seeing the photo Maru sent.

Headless corpses hanging upside down, corridors strewn with dismembered pieces, blood sloshing beneath the torn hatches of nuclear submarines. There were simply no normal pictures.

[Crazy. Is this a threat?]

[This is not a threat, this is reality. Joseph Meyer has turned our carrier battle group into cannibals. This is the result. I don’t know what the Empire and Joseph Meyer will negotiate, but one thing is certain. What the cannibals want is to turn the Empire into a cannibal board.]

[······.]

[And if the Empire becomes a cannibalistic cult… the Empire will have no choice but to fight the Holy Kingdom.]

Maru explained the fate of the carrier battle group commander. He warned that once you become a cannibal, you will never be able to escape the control of a higher entity.

[I’ll send you the photos myself.]

[You figure it out.]

[After- I’ll warn Mr. Den Brown. What if he doesn’t listen? It’s true that our relationship with the Empire isn’t what it used to be.]

[I warned you, so you should go yourself.]

If you stick with cannibals despite my warnings, I have no choice but to go and end it myself.

Maru left the Newport News shipyard cleanup and defense to Hee-yeon and Director Yu’s clone unit, and called in Naruzu, who was transporting refugees from the European continent for protection.

“It’s a mission with my brother!”

“The King has called!”

“They say it’s an operation in the empire.”

“Empire? Didn’t you end up with them?”

“The non-aggression is also broken.”

“So it’s a raid?”

“First strike with a lecture?”

“If that’s the case, then you should have struck the stronghold first.”

“Are you seeing the New York that the main bitch bit and sucked in real life?”

“But are we all going?”

“Ah- he said to bring everyone!”

Gyaaaaaaah!

A fireworks display and celebration in New York.

Thousands of Narujs are preparing for their first trip to New York.
