RUST -760

Ki-soon, who had been keeping silent, turned her head and looked at the PD. His eyes, filled with madness, were reading the data.

“···You’re deleting it?”

“It’s literally. It needs to be erased from the map. It needs to be erased from the world.”

The half of the hood’s face was slightly distorted.

“Why? If you look at the data, the infrastructure remains intact, and even if it’s not, 30 to 40 million people are still alive. Are you saying that we should erase all of that?”

“Yes. It’s the same as erasing London, England and Paris, France.”

“That’s not the reason. First of all, isn’t it a situation like London and France? London and Paris were erased because dangerous mutants completely took over the city. Korea is not like that, so why are you erasing the entire country?”

Despite Hood’s objections, the PD was adamant.

“Yes, you absolutely must erase it as quickly as possible.”

“Really? Let me ask you again. So, what is the reason?”

The PD suddenly said a number.

“One million.”

“A million?”

The PD, with a more serious expression than ever, began to tell the story.

“The number of newborns born in 2-3 months is at least 1 million. After that, women of childbearing age will continue to get pregnant, and literally, more than 1 million newborns will be born every year. How will the cannibals who eat them change?”

“It’s not decided yet, is it? Since His Majesty the King and the expedition force are here, shouldn’t we just eliminate all the cannibals?”

“It’s not over just by cleaning up the cannibals, so we have to erase them.”

Ki-sun squeezed her eyes shut at the PD’s assertion and let out a sigh.

“It’s because of the geopolitical location and power.”

“Yes.”

Geopolitical location surrounded by China, North Korea, Russia, and Japan. Not only was China divided into seven, but North Korea, Russia, and Japan could not be ignored either.

Even Japan, which was destroyed immediately, could not be said to be safe. Is there any guarantee that those strange monsters in the sinkhole are only in Japan?

What if the survivors infected by that monster enter Korea as refugees? What guarantee is there that a monster that has eaten 30-40 million people won’t emerge?

This was also the case in North Korea, which had lost control of the central party. Each region was semi-military, and war could break out at any time depending on the choices made by North Korea, where the upper class had become cannibals.

If a war breaks out with massive casualties, the population of 30 to 40 million will just become a buffet.

“That’s one of the reasons why the seven Chinas are fighting a civil war. It’s a chance to eat as much as they want and become stronger. That’s why they will compete to secure the million newborn babies produced in Korea.”

It would be difficult to feed an entire adult, but it was possible for a newborn.

7 Chinas won’t turn into pregnancy factories?

Of course I’ll turn it around.

However, it will not be managed systematically like in Korea.

If information leaks that the enemy is operating a pregnancy factory, wouldn’t they attack it?

If you don’t attack, the enemy will eat the newborn and become stronger?

Of course, they would have been targets of attack. So, if we were to scatter pregnant women here and there to avoid enemy attacks, would that be manageable? It would be difficult.

So, even if they tried to run a pregnancy factory in China, it wasn’t easy to run it as efficiently as in Korea. I don’t know what it’s like now, but as time goes by and the seven Chinas fight fiercely, the seven Chinas will have no choice but to target Korea’s newborns.

“That’s probably why Chinese refugees have been able to come to the western region, and why there are so many murders and missing persons cases in the area.”

Ki-soon continued speaking.

“The fact that Chinese refugees were able to come to Korea in numbers not in the thousands but in the tens of millions must be seen as meaning that the warlords allowed their movement.”

At least the southern and eastern warlords were seen as such.

“If you look at the incidents that occurred in the western part of Korea, they are being covered up as simple murders or missing persons cases, but it seems that cannibals of Chinese warlords have mixed in with the refugees.”

After the mutant virus incident and the US-China war, China was divided into seven Chinas, but it ate Taiwan. China, which had expanded its influence to Okinawa, could not help but target Korea.

“Even if it is divided into seven parts, China is still China. Even if one of those Chinas were to occupy Korea, would it not be less dangerous than if London, England and Paris, France were erased?”

Korea’s infrastructure and technology. And above all, China, which has taken over Korea’s system to maintain and control 1 million pregnant women, is not dangerous?

PD insisted that even if nothing else, the China risk alone was enough to erase Korea. At his confirmation, Hood put his hand on his half-mask and took a deep breath.

“I understand what you are saying. I abstain. This seems to be a matter for His Majesty the King to decide. I will send the minutes of the meeting as they are to His Majesty the King. Is that okay?”

Both PD and Ki-sun nodded.

“Does the research director agree?”

Na Ju-yeon, who had not said a single word, nodded.

The meeting video sent from the home country upset Kim Yang’s mood, which had been filled with a meat dinner.

‘Ah- Seriously, what are you all doing after eating so well? What were you thinking sending out these minutes? It’s disgusting. If you’re going to start talking about Jiwoo and Mane, then you should’ve decided it and sent it to them.’

Kim Yang, who had been baking bread like a stretched-out cat, sat up and muttered.

‘I didn’t see it like that, PD.’

When the idea of ​​eradicating problematic areas, such as the American South, came up, it seemed like they were talking about salvation or playing the role of a protector or savior of humanity.

Let’s just erase it cleanly because it seems like things are going to get complicated in Korea across the Pacific?

The corners of Kim Yang’s mouth rose strangely.

Well, since London and Paris across the Atlantic were also wiped out by hydrogen bombs, it was only natural that such a story would come up.

Considering the uncertainty and risk that would arise if China, Japan, Russia or North Korea were to take over Korea, it is true that the most effective solution would be to erase it so that no one would be able to take it.

International relations are complicated, so whatever, the conclusion is always the same. Whether it’s morality, conscience, or selfishness, if it benefits their own country, they don’t care what happens to Korea.

After the mutant virus broke out, people kept talking about the international and human beings, but when you think about how everyone was just trying to survive and was full of idiots, it makes you realize how much worse it was.

‘Huh-‘

Ms. Kim didn’t think there was anything wrong with that.

What just annoys me is that I ate a lot of meat, but I had to let this story go without even concluding it because it wouldn’t digest well.

Baek Jeong-do must have seen the meeting video, so I’ll call them soon.

‘Ah- oh- I want to sleep.’

As Kim Yang expected, the assistant AI turned up the volume.

[Beep – His Majesty the King has called a video conference. He has asked you to join immediately.]

After seeing the video of the meeting minutes discussing whether it would be safe to erase Korea, considering its geopolitical location and what would happen in the future, Maru immediately contacted Ki-sun.

First, Maru decided to call in Ki-sun, Yang Kim, and Na Ju-yeon and listen to their story.

[PD Ajae’s thoughts can be seen as the thoughts of the majority of the citizens of the Holy Kingdom.]

The leadership of the Holy Kingdom consists of eight people. Maru, Ki-soon, Kim Yang, and Na Ju-yeon are four Koreans, and PD, Hood, Nurse, and Psychometric Erica are four non-Koreans.

The majority of the people of the Holy Kingdom are American and Canadian. The overwhelming majority are of white descent, with a high proportion of people of British and French descent.

[So this problem is one that cannot be hidden and is difficult to hide.]

London, England and Paris, France were blown up because of future threats, but Korea is left alone? What would happen if such information were to circulate?

‘They wiped out London, England and Paris, France with hydrogen bombs, saying it was because of mutant monsters. Why didn’t they wipe out Seoul?’

‘Isn’t that because the King is of Korean descent?’

‘Why did the Southern Alliance launch a preemptive strike with hydrogen bombs while leaving South Korea alone?’

What if the Virginia remnants who had converted to a guerrilla organization were spreading such rumors? They were more than capable of doing so.

This expedition was intended to resettle 2 to 3 million people from Korea and bring about political stability and balance, but that too was in danger of being blown away.

[No matter what choice you make, it’s best to assume that the hostile forces will start shaking up the Canadian region.]

Ki-sun, whose eyes had become narrower, spoke calmly.

Are you going to drop a hydrogen bomb on Seoul to make things easy?

There was no guarantee that using a hydrogen bomb would catch the cannibals hiding in the bunker. It would only kill innocent civilians.

So, I was trying to use one detective’s tracking skills to catch and kill only cannibals, but one detective was refusing.

How about we just wait and see what happens without using nuclear bombs?

Going back to the beginning, the British and French people will rise up.

London and Paris had already been devoured by mutant monsters, so hydrogen bombs were dropped on them, but in Seoul, Korea, most of the people were still alive and well, so even though they were just watching the situation unfold, they were still rising up.

I guess that’s because the Holy Kingdom leadership that blew up London and Paris was made up of Asians of Korean descent.

[There is a high possibility that it will turn into a controversy over origins or race.]

Even if they dropped a nuke on Seoul to avoid controversy, it would be difficult to see a good outcome.

‘King Vladimir Kalin, who dropped a nuclear bomb on a city where innocent citizens were living peacefully.’

‘Is the leadership of the Holy Kingdom truly holy?’

‘I heard there were a lot of pregnant women, but he ignored that and used nuclear weapons. He was a cold-blooded king.’

My thoughts are already complicated because of the cracks that are gradually widening, and I’m going to end up in a swamp.

[If we strengthen the reporting restrictions, information control, and surveillance system, we can stop the actions of the Virginia remnants that have turned into a guerrilla organization. But that is also dangerous.]

Canada was in the midst of an infrastructure rebuild.

[If we strengthen the surveillance system while fixing the infrastructure, we will call it a controlled surveillance society. They will sneak in through that gap.]

May all forces that wish to shake the Holy Kingdom rush in and tear it apart,

‘The Holy Kingdom is a country controlled by Big Brother.’

You might say, ‘This is a country that seeks to enslave humanity.’

[Why can’t we just abandon Canada? We can upgrade the technology later and make robots or androids to get the resources. Why can’t we just abandon the annoying things and let them live their lives?]

[What about the infrastructure that has been laid over the past year? The moment you let go of Canada, the remnants of Virginia, and the cannibals and vampires who were pushed out of the Confederacy’s power struggle, will be eaten up and said, “Thank you.”]

However, if we were to tear down and dismantle all the infrastructure that has already been installed, it would be the same as saying that we would kill all 3 million people.

[What does it matter whether I die or not?]

[It doesn’t matter. If the mutated monsters ate over 3 million corpses, what would happen? Why did you help the Empire? Did you forget that you helped because you couldn’t handle it when there were millions or tens of millions of casualties?]

In response to Ki-sun’s answer, Ms. Kim in the video turned her head away.

“The meeting ends here.”

Maru’s gaze was directed at Na Ju-yeon, who was not saying a single word.

Lee Moon-sik seemed to understand the detective’s worries, but he also felt frustrated.

It was one thing to help track down and kill those who controlled the government, the National Assembly, and the Martial Law Command, but the result was the collapse of the current system.

“Detective Han. I don’t think this will work out if you don’t help.”

“Why? Do you think the video they showed you is real?”

“I don’t know if the video is real or fake, but it is true that the government is acting strangely.”

“······.”

In a situation where import and export routes were blocked, it was not normal to continue the policy of using stockpiled raw materials to produce products that women like and giving them away only when they got pregnant.

The conversation between the two was interrupted by the voice of an assistant AI.

[This is currently being discussed in the Holy Kingdom.]

[Please check the contents and decide whether or not you will cooperate by 8:00 AM tomorrow.]

The video contained the message that Korea must be erased to prevent cannibals from becoming stronger by eating newborn babies.

“Those crazy kids.”

“Detective Han.”

They soon had no choice but to keep quiet, as footage followed of London and Paris being occupied by strange monsters and obliterated by hydrogen bombs.

“······.”

“······.”

The Holy Kingdom in the video was really erased.

The historic cities of London, England and Paris, France.

Are you messing around with CG?

Is that really CG?

Regardless of whether it was CG or not, the content being discussed in the Holy Kingdom was quite plausible.

What if the Korean government, National Assembly, and Martial Law Command tried to export newborn babies?

Can we ignore the voices that threaten to wipe out Korea so that it cannot become food for mutant monsters and mutant cannibals? Should we ignore them? What will happen if we ignore them?

One detective shut his eyes tightly.

If the video is true…

If you do not help search for and track down the cannibals, or fail to subdue them, Korea will be erased from the map.
