RUST [RUST]-711

[White flag? Are you sure? White flag?]

Kim Yang’s gaze turned fierce.

[Yes. It’s a white flag on the roof of a 12-story building.]

Kim Yang said while looking at Gi-sun.

[Building rooftop. Check with the crow squad. If the one waving the flag is a spider bitch, bomb it right away.]

[If a spider waves a white flag, let’s bomb it? Why?]

‘When the spider waves the white flag, we bomb it.’ What a strange title for a response. Ki-soon couldn’t agree with Kim Yang’s thoughts.

[Think about the spider-bitches that set traps in the field. If that white-flag waving spider is a thing, it means that it has to go inside a 12-story building. If it’s a trap inside, can you handle it?]

[I’ll go.]

Since you can see the emotions, you can just go closer and check. Kim Yang flatly rejected Gi-sun’s opinion.

[No. If I do that, I’ll get tired.]

The highest dignity would be pissed. There was no reason to take that risk.

‘I can’t believe what those spider bitches do.’

The ant bitches were annoying, but compared to what the spider bitches did, they were better. The ant bitches had a queen ant so they could negotiate with her, but the spiders didn’t.

‘They burned it like that with a flamethrower.’

None of the spider bitches surrendered. And now they’re suddenly waving the white flag?

So it was safe to assume that George was going to annihilate the spider bitches through question and answer.

It would be right to talk with a few years old after being brushed up.

[How about using a spider vibrator? You can tell if a building is a trap or not by touching it to the spider web.]

[···Okay, I understand. But if it’s even a little weird, there won’t be anything like this next time. Agree?]

There were no complaints, as Kim Yang’s orders took priority once the battle began. When Ki-soon nodded, she immediately sent a signal.

[Alpha, Bravo, and Charlie advance to the White Flag Building. Look around and report back if you see any spider webs.]

[yes!]

After sending three teams, Kim Yang surrounded the building with the rest of his guards.

[Bravo. Found the spider web.]

[Alpha. Check for spider webs in the first floor entrance.]

[Charlie. Found several spider webs on the outside wall.]

Kim Yang and Ki-sun headed straight to the building.

[Look at that. Do you still want to go up after seeing that?]

Certainly, the building seen up close was a world of spider webs. Above all, the lobby on the first floor was completely covered in spider webs.

The sight of lumps hanging swaying like silkworm cocoons in the middle, and the sight of the walls and ceilings being covered in spiderweb cloth, was enough to make Kim Yang sick.

[This is… It looks exactly like a spider’s nest attached to the ground.]

As Ki-sun approached, he saw a completely different appearance than he had expected.

Chijik – The HUD (Head-Up Display) shook momentarily.

What?

Ki-sun immediately took a step back.

Pot-

The moment I stepped back, the broken screen returned to normal in no time.

‘Radio interference? Display interference? Is this structure designed to respond to humans? Is this the function of spider webs?’

Ki-sun’s thoughts became complicated. If the spider web had such various functions, it would be advantageous for the Holy Kingdom to maintain a good relationship with the spider.

Kim Yang thought differently. Aren’t these really dangerous women?

Even if there weren’t many of them, spiders could cause communication problems by using their webs, and they could even interfere with electronic devices such as sensors. In her opinion, spiders were too dangerous an enemy.

[Have you seen this? What these bitches are doing is dangerous? Do you understand that they are different from ants?]

Kim Yang installed a vibration communication translation device on the spider web and observed Ki-sun’s reaction.

[···I know it’s dangerous. But wouldn’t it be better if they were on our side?]

Kim Yang replied that it wouldn’t be easy, but he checked the signal analyzed on the vibration communicator.

The spider web, which appeared to be completely still on the outside, was constantly vibrating.

(Approach. Attack.)

(Fireworks. Bombing.)

(Surrender. Attack.)

(Escape. Surrender.)

Opinions are not unified?

It was as if several groups had gathered together and were not in agreement.

The spiders were largely divided into three groups. One was a group that wanted to fight. The other two were those that wanted to retreat and those that wanted to surrender. However, the biggest problem was that each group did not have a clear leader.

[Can we have a conversation?]

[···okay.]

Mr. Kim immediately broke away from the formation surrounding the building and requested air support.

[Crow Bombardment. Building at current coordinates. Bombing wind.]

Caw! (Got it!)

The crow squad that had been swarming the area split into two and headed towards Richmond. Waaaa …

A high-pitched sound like a trumpet blast rang out as napalm bombs began to hit the building, which had a white flag waving on its roof.

The bomb, which hit the side of the building starting from the roof, penetrated the thick glass and exploded. The building, engulfed in black smoke and flames, reeked of mackerel.

[What is this smell?]

Kaaaak! (This smell even in the fields and hills!)

[what.]

Kaaaak, I’m dying- I’m dying-

Kim Yang’s brow furrowed. It was because the pronunciation of the crow was subtle.

‘I guess I’ll have to take care of the crow bitches while I’m at it to get Mark 2 in order.’

The important thing now is the spiderlings. She was a woman who knew the order of things.

[If you see spiders or spider webs on the roof of a building, bomb them immediately.]

Caw! (Got it!)

The trumpet call of death began to fill the sky.

Holy Kingdom. Detroit.

The voice of the artificial intelligence Diana rang out.

[A regular cargo airship bound for the Empire was attacked by a flock of birds and returned to port.]

The crows were called out to bomb the spiders that had descended all the way to mid-Newport News.

“In the simulation, it could have been stopped by a drone.”

[As the density of the flock of birds increased momentarily, the electronic equipment momentarily malfunctioned.]

“Is it difficult to respond to EMP (Electro-Magnetic Pulse)?”

[The phenomenon is similar to EMP, but the research results are different from EMP. Even if it is possible to defend against it with the EMP response system currently secured, it is difficult to install it on drones and robots, which are the current mainstays.]

This is true.

The problem was the crows’ strange obsession. They were chasing away any birds that approached them, except for the acid gulls they had raised since they were chicks.

“Ah-and- some of the kids in the forest listened to me. So I tried to bring them here, but the crows kept attacking them.”

Now that her abilities have grown stronger, she is a nurse who can communicate with most animals. She tried to bring an owl she had personally recruited, but the owl was startled by a group lynching by crows and returned to the forest.

Caw? (Caw?)

“I don’t know. If you know everything and say something, the king will be angry.”

The crow pretended not to know anything even though the nurse threatened to make Maru angry. The crow turned its head completely away to check Maru’s reaction.

“Why are you doing that?”

Caw? (What are you talking about?)

Maru said to the crow that was plucking its feathers.

“Why are you chasing away the other birds?”

Kkaa-kkaaak. (I didn’t do that.)

“Then what about the other crows besides you? What is the reason?”

Kkaa… Kkaaak- (No… I’m not good at that either-)

As Maru’s gaze gradually turned colder, the crow spoke desperately.

Kka-kkaak-kkak! (Instinct- real instinct- something like instinct!)

“It’s instinct. Then I guess I just need to train them to change their instincts.”

Even though it’s difficult to disguise feces and urine due to the biological structure, discrimination against bird species and bullying are nothing. If you make it a little bit easier to excrete blood, it’ll be fixed right away.

“After the Spider Expedition ends, give the order to gather all the crows. I will personally conduct their mental training.”

[Where would you like to have the location?]

“Let’s do it in an indoor stadium so that the crows can recall some old memories.”

[We will prepare the Detroit Indoor Stadium.]

The crow sitting on the nurse’s shoulder closed its eyes tightly at Maru’s story of wanting to train in the same stadium where he had previously caught crows and established discipline.

“Why? You don’t want to be educated? Then let other birds come in.”

······.

They are strange. They are not underfed or underpaid. I just don’t understand why they push away the other birds.

[There are research results that show that crows are territorial and sedentary animals.]

“Those who eat delicious food on their own and go shopping according to their tastes, what kind of territory are they? Are you ordinary crows? That’s not it. Those smart guys are chasing away other birds by nitpicking about things that only ordinary crows do?”

If Ms. Kim were around, she would have made a fuss, saying, “All the crow chicks are missing, so let’s get serious about keeping order.”

Maru, who had a smile on his lips, looked at the crow with cold eyes. The crow, who was feeling uneasy and restless at the sight of those cold eyes, lowered its head.

“When the guys from the bombing squad come back, tell them a good story. If there’s an important reason, I don’t know. If you did it like regular crows, or if you hindered the power of the Holy Kingdom from growing stronger due to instinct or territory or something like that, you will pay a proper price. Do you understand?”

Kkak- kkaak! (Okay, I got it!)

It was too late to just tolerate the crows chasing away the flock of birds. Not only was the ant empire not satisfied, but even the spiders were going crazy.

Until last year, the only insects that were a problem were cockroaches, but in just one year, ants and spiders have become a dangerously strong force.

So what happens then?

Even cockroaches, which occupy the lower part of the food chain, have been affected by the proliferation of rats.

It wasn’t just rats.

Of course, the number of insect-eating birds will also skyrocket.

The result was this transport ship diversion incident.

Even last year there was a risk of flocks of birds, but not enough to warrant a return trip.

But not now.

“It is also possible that the number of bugs other than cockroaches has increased significantly.”

Ants, spiders, bees, mayflies, flies and other insects would have been abundant, and small mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians and fish that feed on these insects would have also likely proliferated.

[The calculation result. The probability of the scenario you mentioned occurring is calculated to be 85%··· beep··· over 93%.]

“First of all. I want you to focus on and study the mutations of insects. How did the spider analysis go?”

Artificial intelligence Diana answered Maru’s questions.

[As a result of the analysis and study of the sample so far, it has been concluded that it is a dangerous animal.]

Unlike ants, who can negotiate through a single entity called the queen, spiders had to negotiate individually. What was even more tiring was that they had to deal with webs and shells.

The spider silk samples initially sent by Hee-yeon and Kim Yang revealed a special property that was not known. It was a property that had a radio-jamming effect when woven at a high density.

In addition to that, its characteristic as a communication line that can transmit signals through vibration was also an important characteristic. If this could be applied, it would become a way to overcome communication failures.

The spider web itself was also excellent in that it could bond and bind almost any object. Even considering its adhesiveness and heat resistance, the spider we encountered this time could be a boon to the Holy Kingdom.

‘As long as things go well.’

[Mr. Kim’s report has been submitted.]

Diana’s voice calmly output the main content.

[Successful conquest of Richmond.]

[Spiders that took over half of the city, most of them killed.]

[Captured spider being transported to its home country.]

Maru nodded slightly.

[A group of survivors discovered in Richmond.]

[I asked for advice on what to do with the survivors.]
