RUST -773

The video that Ki-sun saw was taken by a half-broken tactical camera.

Even though they quickly escaped the scene as their unique sense of danger was activated, their self-destruction was by no means an easy explosive.

Even if the centerline was blocked by Eclipse, the exposed parts would break, tear, and burn. Even if Eclipse absorbed the powerful impact and emitted blades of vibration to act as a transparent protective shield, it was still dangerous.

They say that the injured area was treated with rapid healing medicine, but there was one reason why he was able to hold out that long.

‘Vampiric suit’

The suit, which was originally expected to only have the effect of absorbing the enemy’s blood, self-healing, and increasing physical abilities, showed defensive power that exceeded expectations.

Ki-soon’s thinly-veiled gaze turned to the floor. He could see that she had taken off her vampire suit. If she had taken off something she usually wore, it would have been because she felt uneasy.

“······.”

“······.”

There was silence when Ki-soon asked if it was okay since it looked dangerous in many ways as it sucked blood.

“I think it will take more time to evaluate the vampire suit.”

“Since we can’t guarantee safety, are you saying we should stop mass production for now?”

“···okay.”

“Then it doesn’t matter. Then what will Russia do?”

According to information extracted from Russian special forces, they were no joke either. First of all, Siberia was completely paralyzed.

With the completion of the Trans-Siberian Railway, forests in Siberia were cleared from the railway stations. The destruction of forests during World War I and II, the Cold War, and up to the present day has devastated the surrounding ecosystem.

The problem was that it was difficult to restore a forest once it had been destroyed. Given the climate in Siberia, it was not something that could be solved by simply planting seedlings to replace the cut trees.

The land became increasingly desolate, and Siberia, deprived of trees, turned into a giant swamp. And recently, Siberia, hit hard by climate disaster, has started to see its permafrost melt.

It meant that various viruses and bacteria that had been frozen for tens of thousands of years had found freedom. And those viruses and bacteria were mixing with mutated viruses.

The great swamp of Siberia was a natural laboratory for virus mutations. Russia was trying to find something useful in the chaos of Siberia, but none of those who went in returned.

“I think we should check out the pyramids that were discovered as the permafrost melted.”

“Do you really have to go there? There were rumors that a giant pyramid was discovered in Antarctica. Wouldn’t it be better to go there?”

Where on earth did the altar, which is difficult to analyze with modern science, come from? Maru had been feeling uneasy about Siberia ever since he checked the information from the Russian special forces. Especially the newly discovered giant pyramid.

“I guess you keep getting caught.”

“···That. Is that a touch?”

Ki-soon’s squinted eyes narrowed even further. Maru nodded and continued talking.

“According to the information I got from the Russians, the Siberian Railway was severed here and there.”

The Trans-Siberian Railway was cut off due to climate disasters and mutant monsters. The damage was so severe that it would take at least 1-2 years to restore the severed section.

“Even if there are problems in the Far East and Siberia, is it difficult to send large-scale support troops?”

“In the current situation, the Arctic route would have been opened, so they would try to use the sea route. The special forces guys also came all the way to Sokcho by submarine.”

It was difficult to say for sure that there would be no additional reinforcements since they were targeting Korea, but Ki-sun agreed with Maru that it would be more difficult to send troops than when the Siberian Railroad was connected.

“Yeah, I guess so. Then what will Korea do?”

The cannibals in the bunkers of Namsan, Bukhansan, and Gwanaksan, who had effectively held power in the metropolitan area, were swept away overnight. It was obvious that as soon as day broke, there would be chaos due to the power vacuum.

Starting with the military units near the Military Demarcation Line that were controlled by the cannibals’ unique dominance, to the military units stationed here and there in the metropolitan area due to martial law activities.

What will happen when the mid- and low-level cannibals try to break away from the control of the higher-level entities and establish their own forces?

You’re not saying that you’re going to ignore all that and go check out the Siberian pyramids, are you? Maru raised both hands at the sight of Ki-sun’s squinted eyes pressing down on him.

“I have no choice but to tour···.”

Before the situation got out of control, the most effective way was to visit in person.

And Maru’s tour was a disaster for the cannibals who had just broken free from the control of the higher entities and were dreaming of independence(?).

Ughhhhhhh

The cannibals gathered at the battalion headquarters could not move. The shadow that came in at some unknown time was death itself. They could not rebel or fight back.

Ughhhhhhh

All that comes out of his stiff tongue and vocal cords is a listless moan.

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

The stabbing started as if to cut off the groan.

The conference room turned into a red mud pit as the knife cut not cleanly but rather as if the whole thing had been ground up in a blender.

Chalbak-

Chalbak-

The sticky blood that had touched Maru’s feet began to gather as if it were alive.

Jeokbuk-

Jeokbuk-

The operational conference room where the swaying shadows have disappeared.

The red mud that had been soaking the floor had disappeared somewhere.

Hood and PD judged the current situation to be dangerous. Even if that were the case for Korea, it would not be good for it to get involved with Russia.

“The seven Chinas can be seen as hostile to the Holy Kingdom.”

The Holy Kingdom was not the legitimate successor to the United States. The succession dispute was a matter for the American Empire and the Confederacy. The Holy Kingdom never claimed to be the successor to anything in the United States.

From the very beginning, it started out with an absolute monarchy, was the first to abolish the dollar, and even implemented policies that restricted voting rights and residency.

The Holy Kingdom had no way to get involved with the United States, even if it wanted to. But that did not mean it could maintain neutral relations with the seven Chinas in the future.

Because the one nicknamed the Nightmare of Beijing and the Envoy of Shanghai was Prince Vladimir Kalin.

“He is not the type of person who will improve relations with the seven Chinas in the future. If Russia is included here, it will be a big burden, even if not right away, in the future.”

As the PD said, Maru had no intention of improving relations, so we could see that the future with Russia was essentially over.

Hood had no choice but to agree with PD. It wasn’t just the seven Chinese that were hostile. Europe was also hostile to the Holy Kingdom.

If NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) had been normal, it would have been war since London and Paris, two of the three pillars of the European Union (EU), Britain, France, and Germany, were blown up.

Here, the relationship with the cartel syndicate that controlled Mexico was not good either. This was because once he was caught, King Vladimir Kalin cut down all of them without distinction between cartels, gangs, and mafia.

If Russia were included here, it would not be an exaggeration to say that the entire world and the Holy Kingdom were in conflict.

“That’s true, but I don’t think there will be any problems right now. Russia’s main force is tied up in Ukraine, and the Trans-Siberian Railway is cut off.”

The war between Russia and Ukraine tipped the scales in Russia’s favor the moment support from Europe and the United States was cut off. What should have been a war that ended like that has now turned into a deep quagmire.

With Western support cut off, Ukraine has thrown its anger management disorder and cannibals into the fight.

When a large number of people with anger management disorders and cannibals who enjoy eating flesh are thrown into the front line that has turned into a half-trench war, the Russian army is pushed back in an instant.

Russia has used banned treaty weapons, including cluster bombs and incendiary bombs, but has been unable to stop cannibals and anger-disordered zombies, which are essentially biological weapons.

After retreating and retreating, Russia finally pressed the red button that she had been hesitating to press. China was also split into seven. The United States was also split into the Empire and the Confederacy, and it was a mess.

Here, Britain and France were spoiled and Germany had no nukes. Even NATO would be nothing without the support of the United States.

Having coolly pressed the red button to erase Ukraine’s offensive, Russia captured Ukraine’s biological weapon and began researching it.

Is this a cannibal?

Is control possible through dominance?

Vertical governance?

Ah – so that’s why you didn’t retreat but charged forward.

Cannibalism isn’t a bad thing.

But isn’t this what the Western kids were trying to do?

If I had said okay back then, I would have become a puppet to those bastards’ power?

Ah-the bastards.

They promised not to advance east, but they keep ignoring them and giving me a hard time. What are they doing?

Are you kidding me again?

I really want to go to the West.

Russia quickly reorganized its system.

When the Russian leader, who had suffered from old age and infirmity, became the highest-ranking cannibal, he regained everything except his youth.

‘End the war in Ukraine.’

Having reasserted his dominance, he declared that he would end the war in Ukraine, but the fight between cannibals and cannibals was not one that would end so easily.

The battlefield was littered with corpses, which meant there was an abundance of essential nutrients the cannibals needed to grow stronger.

The Ukrainian cannibals grew stronger through the war, and so did the Russian cannibals. So once again the battlefield turned into a mud fight.

“There were suggestions to use nukes again, but they were rejected because of the possibility of radioactive mutation. The battlefield is in shambles to the point where they would suggest using nukes again, so it would be difficult to send significant troops to Korea.”

“But the situation will not change. Will Russia give up a million newborns? What about the seven Chinas? The Japanese reconstruction forces that want to rebuild Japan will also target Korea.”

The problem wasn’t that they were targeting Korea. What if those who were at odds with the Holy Kingdom were absorbing at least a million newborns every year? That was the real problem.

The hood exhaled heavily.

“So if you’re saying that it should be erased, then I understand.”

“Korea must be erased. Whether it falls to China, Russia, or the Japanese revivalist forces, it will only be an obstacle to the future of the Holy Kingdom.”

“······.”

“First of all, we need to erase Korea as quickly as possible so that there is no reason to be hostile to the angry bear.”

Hood and PD sent their thoughts.

======

======

‘Korea must be completely erased.’

Ms. Kim nodded at the PD’s argument and glanced at Maru. She could see Maru’s expression, which was unreadable.

‘Huh- no need to worry about getting tired. That’s good.’

She thought it was the right decision to erase everything so that no problems would arise. To be honest, it was true that if everyone was good, there would be no problems at all.

There is no way there would be a traffic accident if there were no cars.

There was no way there would be a divorce if they weren’t married.

It would have been neat if we had just erased the problematic Korea.

‘A clear and clean ending is always a nuclear ending.’

Ki-soon will be against it, and the nurse will be against it too. Psychometry is either abstained or opposed. I thought there would be more opposition to this.

Maru, who had checked all the materials sent by Hood and PD, was relieved.

“The idea of ​​deleting it immediately is rejected.”

If you were going to erase it, you should have just erased it from the beginning. You caught the cannibals in the bunker, chased them, and even took out the Russian special forces, so you just erased it?

Should I just erase it when I’m on a military tour? Should I just erase it when I haven’t achieved anything? Maru couldn’t do that.

Above all, is there another opportunity to easily fill the population to check the white race of the Holy Kingdom? And with people from East Asia, like the King?

PD spoke cautiously about Maru’s opinion.

[Even so, Korea is difficult. Since the cannibals have already declared this side to be cannibals, even if they were brought to the Holy Kingdom, there is a high possibility that it would only cause conflict.]

Na Ju-yeon, who had been silent until now, opened her mouth.

[It is possible to use a newborn.]

You want to use a newborn? How?

[It’s possible if you adjust the rapid growth system used for clones. You can just inject the necessary knowledge.]

Na Ju-yeon’s story was that if they did that, they could feed the seven Chinese, Japanese reconstruction forces, and Russia, who were targeting nearly a million newborns, while at the same time resolving the population problem of the Holy Kingdom to some extent.

“······.”

“······.”
