RUST -686

President Den Brown’s request for dialogue was immediately relayed to Ki-sun.

“These guys are targeting old men too. Let’s talk about countermeasures against terrorism.”

“That’s ridiculous. If you want to talk seriously, shouldn’t you be talking to me? But why are you looking for me instead of you?”

When Maru said that in a ridiculous tone, Ki-sun looked at Maru’s face and laughed.

“This is all accumulated karma. Karma. How much shit must you have been through for that old man to contact me? Isn’t it because whenever I think of you, my chest feels heavy and stuffy?”

“What the hell. So what are you serious about?”

“I sent you the technology and equipment to block mental waves.”

“however?”

“He said he was grateful for the help. And he asked for a generous supply of exosuits, even if they were old ones. When the trading post was closed, the export of exosuits stopped. I think that must have had an impact.”

“Hey. So that thank you was just to get you to give me the exosuit. You helped me out of the water and now you want my bundle too? How shameless of you, old man.”

Ki-soon’s shoulders shook slightly at the rustling on the floor.

“Since we both know the general situation, there’s no need to be shameless.”

When fighting cannibals, vampires, or mutated monsters, the exosuit would inevitably wear out. I tried to repair the damaged parts of the exosuit by removing them, but now it seemed like the situation was too much to handle.

“If we continue to ban exports… will we fail?”

“We won’t be ruined by the new clones and firearms, but there will be a huge influx of refugees.”

That damn refugee.

At this point, aren’t they some kind of biological weapon rather than refugees?

A biological weapon that devours all of the resources and administrative power of the Holy Kingdom.

“What kind of expression is that? A biological weapon that devours resources.”

Maru suddenly becomes absorbed in something after being hit by Ki-sun. Maru, who had been lost in thought after saying that he would eat it, now has a serious expression on his face.

“Did that old man only talk about exosuits? Nothing else?”

“Uh. First of all, I said that we need a large quantity of exosuits.”

“You need a lot? You want to stop the rats in the New York underground with an exosuit?”

In ‘Eat It’, Maru shook his head, reminiscent of a rat in the New York underground.

The number of rats that the Holy Kingdom’s field mice had stopped was estimated at at least two million. Maybe more. And you just want to supply them with exosuits?

Armed with an exosuit, it was possible to defend against attacks by rats to some extent. Even if the rats’ teeth were strong enough to dig through reinforced concrete, they would not be able to penetrate the exosuit’s armor.

The problem arose when the rats began using their forepaws.

The rats, who had grown thumbs and brains and were now able to use human tools, began to notice weak points in the exosuit’s seams and joints.

Since there were buttons on the outside of the exosuit that could be pressed, there was no guarantee that it would be safe even if it was armed with an exosuit.

‘Dan Brown must know this too, but he only requested the exosuit?’

There must be a reason. A reason.

What is the reason?

So there’s a way to hunt the rats underground in New York.

So what is that method?

Maru’s eyes sparkled.

“Hey- I guess the empire has a psychic generator.”

“A psychic generator while fighting the Virginia Langley remnants?”

Maru answered Gi-sun’s question of whether there could possibly be a psychic generator.

“How did we block the spot where our field mouse fell? It’s blocked now, but when we pulled out our field mouse, we were holding hands.”

By then, the psychic generator would have already been delivered to the empire.

“It also means that the exosuit is very worn out···.”

“Yes. The vampires were trying to play tricks with the psychic generators, and the Empire had to stop them, so there must have been fierce fighting.”

If only the psychic generator had been destroyed, Dan Brown would have had no choice but to leave the Chancellery.

“Nine times out of ten, they are trying to take advantage of that gap.”

Even though the Empire knew why the vampires were targeting the psychic generators, it had no choice but to deploy its troops, which meant that the exosuits would be consumed in large quantities.

Ki-sun nodded at Maru’s story.

“Then I guess I’ll have to send you plenty as you requested. Or else we’ll have to send our field mice again.”

“It’s not like we’re sending out rats. There’s a psychic generator, and if we send rats into it, who knows what’ll happen.”

“Then, should we resume trade focusing on exosuits and parts?”

“···What if we ask them to hand over the psychic generator to us and send the rats back?”

Ki-soon’s mouth opened wide.

“What would you think if you were to take it all away when you’re currently deploying troops to protect the psychic generator?”

“What do you think? You probably think it’s good. Since there’s a psychic generator, the terrorists are targeting that. Wouldn’t it be good if they handed it over to us and blocked it with rats?”

“You want us to be aggro? Are you serious?”

“Can’t we just catch them as they come?”

Ki-sun’s eyes narrowed at Maru’s calm answer, as if that was what he was aiming for.

“You and Naruzu will be on standby for 5 minutes?”

“That’s it. I saw the Royal Guard and the Suppression Unit hunting down cannibals and vampires in Texas. They were doing well on their own. Vampires, cannibals, and even if you just block their psychic energies, they’re just like anyone with a strong ability. How long are you and Kim going to keep going around and around? If you start preparing in advance, you can easily catch both Naruzu and the regular soldiers.”

“So. Let’s bring the psychic generators from the Empire here and draw aggro. Let’s use traps and ambushes to continue to capture the remaining forces coming this way? And at the same time, let’s feed the soldiers and Naruzu experience points.”

“Uh. I think that will be enough?”

Ki-soon sighed on the floor, asking why she was being so picky.

“Ah- crazy···.”

Ki-soon shook his head. Maru’s plan wasn’t bad. The set bait of Ki-soon and the mental wave generator. It was clear that aggro was certain.

The problem was, if by any chance they reached the psychic generator, they were said to only affect small mammals, but that wasn’t something to be taken at face value.

What if crows and wolves were affected? Suddenly, a convulsion of rats, crows, and wolves would break out. Even if they could somehow stop it, Montreal would surely be reduced to ashes.

That’s a problem, but so is the relationship with the Empire. How long has it been since the Imperial Council had a fight and now they’re saying, ‘Hand over the psychic generator, and we’ll send you a rat.’ Is that true?

Even with Gi-sun’s narrowed eyes, Maru responded with an expression that said, ‘Why? What do you want me to do?’

“Ha- Let’s just hand over the exosuit as requested by Mr. Den. And give it plenty of parts and special ammunition. Honestly, we… no, I don’t have the capacity to worry about the psychic generator and all that.”

“······.”

“It’s not an excuse. They have brains too. After being hit a few times, wouldn’t they resort to some kind of diversionary tactics? What if they hold the lives of ordinary citizens hostage? What the hell – let’s just die together. And then blow up everything we come across and make a mess of things? What are you going to do?”

“That’s not it. They’re the ones who want to eat you and do something to me, but they wouldn’t go to such extremes.”

They were the ones who made Ki-soon their comrade and went even further, aiming for Maru. Joseph Meyer had said that Maru was the pinnacle of the new human race, a royal family that surpassed nobility, and so on, so it seemed like there was no way they would die together just to know the secret.

“Still, that’s right. Mr. Den is working hard to clean up the shit, so let’s give him some plastic bags and tongs. Don’t be greedy for the shit that Mr. Den is cleaning up. If you really want to catch and kill those guys, let’s lure them out separately.”

“Let’s lure them out separately? How?”

“If you use Bbangsooni, you can lure them to some extent.”

Bbangsooni out of the blue?

“Bbangsooni… Will that work?”

Maru noticed right away. Roana Blanc was a cook. If Na Ju-yeon had pharmaceutical abilities, then Bbangsuni had confectionery and baking abilities.

The ability to make sweets and breads that are so delicious that they can tempt people. They will target Breadsoonie to take advantage of that ability.

“Yes. Instead of locking up an innocent child, let’s use him as a special envoy to the empire and do other things at the same time.”

“If it’s Bbangsoon, then the guys hiding in the empire will go crazy and come running?”

Ki-soon nodded.

Although she was treated as a breadwinner in the Holy Kingdom, Roana Plan was a famous influencer. She was a woman with enough influence to be mentioned along with famous actresses, models, and idols in their early to mid 20s.

“If you send Breadsoon as a special envoy and open a pastry and baking course at the Trading Post Cultural Center, there will be a huge crowd there. It seems like even the old man is at his limit because of those guys who keep setting up shop without notice, but if you use Breadsoon to get rid of them all at once, they will welcome it with open arms.”

Maru, who had been thinking for a moment, shook his head.

“It’s too obvious to send Bbangsooni away.”

This kind of operation had to create a situation that the enemy could not predict, or that they had no choice but to do even if they had predicted it. However, using Bbangsooni as bait, which had already been caught once, seemed very weak to Maru.

Ki-sun’s thoughts were different.

“They might be tempted, but they’ll get involved at least once. More than anything, they’ll want to change the flow no matter what.”

One way to change the flow was through simultaneous protests.

Those who tried to take advantage of the cookies and breads made by Roana Blanc had another chance, and they weren’t going to just throw them away. They were going to stab her at least once.

“······.”

“It wouldn’t be a bad idea to try working with the Empire this time.”

It would be nice if the strained relationship could be restored even a little while carrying out joint operations with the Empire. That was Gi-sun’s thought.

New York.

President Den Brown read the text from Gi-sun and drank some cold water. Only after gulping down a glass of ice water did he feel a little better.

I could understand that they would send plenty of exosuits, parts, and special ammunition. After the empire collapsed, there would be a Holy Kingdom.

‘Let’s use Roana Blanc to get rid of it all?’

We’ve already used it once in the Holy Kingdom, so why not try it again in the Empire? The rough outline of the operation wasn’t bad, but it was uncertain whether it would succeed.

‘You want to coordinate your actions in advance? How clever.’

In Dan Brown’s view, Ki-sun was very clever in this regard. He intended to use the joint operation to somewhat mend the strained relationship.

The plan was to reopen the trading post and host a cultural center. So it wasn’t a bad guess that those who wanted to use Roana Blanc would approach her through the cultural center classes. With influencers like Roana Blanc, both men and women would want to take the classes.

Dan Brown sent a reply to Ki-sun.

The Holy Kingdom and the Empire began a joint operation.

Roana Blanc, who was locked in her home, was resentful. How would she know that the quest you requested was a biological terror attack?

How would you know that the bread and pastry ingredients were mixed with a powder that would turn you into a cannibal? In fact, there was no way to know unless you tried it.

‘It’s not my fault.’

She was upright.

It’s been several days since the incident broke out, and it’s been a while since the truth was revealed, but they still haven’t released him from house arrest.

‘If we keep doing this, won’t it be like this for several years?’

There was a difference between being confident and being anxious.

Isolation where you can’t use your phone or TV.

How many days have passed since I was so anxious that I couldn’t even sleep?

An official document was sent down to send her as an imperial envoy.

‘You’re sending me as a special envoy?’

As expected, justice was alive.

A feeling of swell in my chest.

Roana Blanc wanted to share this good news with her subscribers.
