RUST [RUST]-831
The contest to select participants for the fireworks display with Naruz’s Oraburning was fierce.
Simple ladder climbing was ruled out due to the possibility of manipulation, and there was an opinion that it should be filtered out based on the number of actual operational participations due to the requirement of recruiting skilled(?) personnel.
“You’re just going to cut it by the number of operations you participated in? That’s not right.”
“Agree. Agree.”
“Do you think that participating in an operation and just sucking up honey from behind without doing anything counts as skill?”
“Isn’t that the same idea as the original version?”
“That’s right. It’s like you’re acting like you’re doing something wrong when you haven’t done anything.”
Many Naruzu objected to the idea of filtering by the number of times they participated in the operation. This means that they absolutely cannot accept the fact that the main body story was brought up.
“Then how do you distinguish between skilled and unskilled?”
“We should divide it according to our abilities.”
“We are Naruz, right? Our skills are all pretty much the same.”
“But you can’t pull it out.”
“That’s right. If a woman who causes trouble for Oraburning comes in, all of us will be caught.”
“Ah- By the way, what happened with the Alpha kids last time? What kind of girl was she?”
“That’s right. If a bitch like that suddenly starts acting up, the king will completely exclude us.”
“Let’s take a look at the tactical camera.”
“Uh- The footage from this operation is blurry?”
“who is this?”
“What kind of a girl is she?”
Naruz was really nervous. Not only did he do something that could have resulted in his own death, but he was also destroying evidence.
It was an aggressive attack, and it could have been passed off as an error or mental stress at the time, but it wasn’t destruction of evidence. It was done with the clear knowledge that it was a crime.
“What kind of a bitch is she to act like a real bitch···.”
“If you did something wrong, you should be punished. Are you trying to avoid that by making the problem worse?”
All of the Naruzus took the current situation very seriously. At first, if they had said, ‘I was greedy because I wanted to finish it quickly. Sorry,’ then no one would have died, so they could have just given them a penalty and moved on. But that wasn’t the case anymore.
“I really have to catch this.”
“What about the report?”
“······.”
“······.”
“······.”
“I have to do it. If I hide this situation and it comes out, it won’t be good.”
“I guess so?”
“If we make a report like this now, we might be excluded from the operation because we have to verify our safety.”
“The operation is not the problem. They might want to conduct a thorough investigation to see if we have any mental defects.”
“Na Ju-yeon. That girl might do that.”
The mood in Naruzu, which had been pleasant during the operation with Oraburning, suddenly sank.
“So what do you want to do?”
“There’s nothing we can do since there’s a girl who even touched the tactical camera.”
“Let’s not be like our main character.”
Everyone nodded at the suggestion that we shouldn’t act like that old lady.
“I don’t know who you are, but this is the last time. The moment I report, there’s no way to avoid it.”
“You can catch him just by looking at his psychometry. You can catch him just by looking at his emotions with Green Soon’s ability.”
“Or you could be picked as an information extractor. Or you could be injected with a confession drug.”
“······.”
“······.”
“······.”
“We are living beings too. Anyone can make mistakes and anyone can make mistakes.”
“If you didn’t intentionally fuck the Alphas, then it was a mistake. Turn yourself in.”
“We can’t waste time. Since Oraburning said he’s leaving right away, we have to select him quickly.”
[Chijijik- I’ll turn myself in, so let me participate in this operation.]
All of Naruzu looked around at the mechanical sound coming from the speaker.
[If I turn it in, it will be subject to a thorough examination and may even be scrapped. It could be my last operation.]
“That girl is strangely dense.”
“But. He’s one of us too.”
“What if something happens while you’re on a mission?”
“No matter what, would you cause an accident? The reason you caused an accident was because you were planning a mission.”
“You must not create a precedent.”
“What if there are kids who want to cause trouble and take up a seat?”
“Then are you just going to report it as you originally thought?”
Naruzu was in a state of confusion.
“I don’t know who you are, but because of you, we could all be put under scrutiny.”
“You can’t make embroidery a condition for participating in an operation.”
“You know why, right?”
“Don’t act like a bitch and turn yourself in.”
“Wait a minute. Let’s not push too hard.”
“If she’s really that kind of girl, she might cause a big accident.”
“Now that I think about it, I don’t think it’ll be of any use.”
“AI is probably watching what we’re doing right now.”
“······.”
“······.”
“······.”
If Naruzu doesn’t report, the AI will.
“It’s going to end anyway.”
“okay.”
“What do you want to do?”
“Let’s include it in this operation.”
“The AI will report what we said?”
“therefore.”
“It might be the last time.”
It was Naruzu who decided to pull out the entity that caused the problem.

Hee-yeon moved her tongue. Her tongue still felt numb. It was a side effect of forcibly stopping the rapid growth process.
Normally, he would have gone through a rapid growth process until his mid-teens, but he stopped growing rapidly because he wanted to live an independent life rather than be Director Yu’s clone.
‘I didn’t know it would be like this.’
Director Yoo’s knowledge did not include the experience of raising children. The same goes for Hee-yeon, who inherited Director Yoo’s knowledge. Because she had no experience, she did not know that all the children’s actions had meaning related to behavioral development.
A representative example was the babbling part. The voice and tongue developed naturally while crying and babbling.
The problem is that she has the mind of an adult. Who would want to make tongue-lashing sounds like a child?
When she was frustrated, she would communicate via text message on her smartphone, except in situations where she absolutely had to speak, such as during a strategy meeting. As a result, the time she would utter her short tongue-tied sounds would inevitably increase.
“Hey see-”
I have to keep talking to train my oral muscles. If I had known this would happen, I would have grown so quickly. Hee-yeon muttered and worked hard to speak.
[This is a vampire subjugation operation.]
[87 Naruz members and 13 U+ team members, a total of 100 people will be deployed for the operation.]
Artificial intelligence Diana personally delivered the operation outline and precautions.
“Are you ready to go?”
[Ready to go within 5 minutes.]
Five minutes? Not fifteen minutes, but five minutes? Hee-yeon thought about refusing to be drafted for the operation, but after seeing the operation outline, she decided to participate.
It was an operation that Maru personally commanded. Now that I think about it, it’s been a while since I’ve seen him in person. Strangely, whenever I think about Maru, my body feels like it’s bursting with heat. Perhaps it’s because of Director Yu’s remnants.
Phew-
Heeyeon took a deep breath and exhaled the faintly rising heat, linking with the clone. She thought that a distinct self would naturally be created over time, but for some reason, an independent self was not being created.
‘It’s not like we’re unconscious because we do our daily lives automatically.’
After going through several real battles, Director Yu’s clone’s movements became considerably more refined. Looking back at his memories, he was showing movements that were at least 90% to 95% likely to be correct.
‘There is no self.’
Perhaps it was the Empire’s technology to erase the ego and turn it into a weapon of war. If Maru hadn’t protected her, she would have definitely become a terminal for the Empire to control clones.
‘I wish everyone had a sense of self.’
Even if they were clones, if they had a clear sense of self, they would be given rights like humans, so they could live as human beings, not as weapons of war. Hee-yeon wanted the clones to live like humans, like herself.
(all set-)
Clones that looked like Director Yoo in his late teens gathered in front of her. It was something she could have sent through a link, but Hee-yeon said it out loud.
“Let’s go Junbi. The weapon is a weapon that can counter the Shiginki blood sucking machine.”
The clones scattered in all directions and were ready to depart in an instant, fully armed.

The fainted refugees were at a loss.
“Think about what the Imperial Rangers did.”
“Judging from the fact that we have confirmed that there are cannibals among us, and the way they respond to us, it seems like it would be difficult to settle down in the Empire even if they go there.”
“Who doesn’t know that? Even though it’s hard to find a place to stay, I came here to avoid becoming food for cannibals.”
“If I had known this would happen, I should have gone to the Holy Kingdom a long time ago. My relatives were said to be settling down in Windsor.”
I didn’t believe the Holy Kingdom broadcast that the Free Canadian League leadership had chosen to become cannibals. And even if the Holy Kingdom claimed that the Free Canadian League leadership had chosen to become cannibals, I didn’t think it would matter.
If you work hard, will you be a cannibal?
Cannibalism is the problem?
Then why don’t we just tell the criminals to eat it?
What’s the problem with having cannibalism suppressants?
Rather than questioning whether there is a duty to rights or a responsibility to choices, I thought it would be enough to just save the economy and make people rich without asking any questions.
With the existing Canadian government evaporating and mutant monsters invading the city and taking hold, the company was effectively bankrupt and its distribution network was over.
People have become unemployed, and the CEOs and executives who run companies have also become unemployed. The same is true for wholesalers and retailers, including distribution companies.
As the Holy Kingdom took control of Canada and drove out all the mutants, cannibals, and mutants, people expected that their businesses, companies, and jobs would return.
However, the Holy Kingdom dismantled the existing companies and reorganized them. The distribution network was also completely reorganized with the Holy Kingdom at the center.
The existing jobs disappeared and were replaced by jobs created by the Holy Kingdom. It is true that the efficiency of the end times improved and the distribution network became stable, but from an individual’s perspective, it was the same as the previous profits evaporating.
‘You’re swallowing up the company in no time.’
‘The government controls the distribution network? What about my warehouse?’
‘What will happen to my career?’
‘What about the salary?’
So they supported the Free Canadian League, which recognized the rights that existed before the collapse of the old Canada, because what mattered were the assets and interests that they had.
Those who thought safety was important migrated with the Holy Kingdom, while those who thought profit was important remained and supported the Free Canadian League.
Of course, there were racist elements and feelings of disgust, but behind it all was profit.
They just kept it hidden, so the refugees had no idea.
“So what should we do?”
“Wouldn’t it be better if each person were to tear themselves apart?”
“We must stick together to survive. If we split up, it’s dangerous.”
“If we blindly unite and problems arise, that is more dangerous.”
“Yes. I’m against forcing people to stick together.”
“If we force ourselves and scatter, we will all die.”
The refugees were sensitive to survival and profit, so their opinions could not be unified. While they were in confusion, the imperial troops arrived first.
Gooooooooooo—-
A large airship landed with a low engine noise. As the hatch opened, Imperial troops armed with exosuits disembarked with a fierce air of aggression.
[Put the gun down.]
[Puts down the gun and steps back.]
Imperial soldiers immediately disarmed the refugees.
[Get the tactical camera first.]
[These guys here have our kids’ weapons.]
Those who had captured the weapons of the Imperial Rangers shook their heads desperately.
“The newcomer… was killed by a cannibal. We just picked up a discarded gun.”
[Who killed the cannibal?]
“I don’t know. I lost consciousness and when I woke up, all the cannibals were dead.”
[What the heck are you talking about?]
The platoon leader consoled the excited soldier.
[You can see it if you look back at the tactical camera footage, so bear with it.]
[···yes.]
The moment the soldier who had been emitting an ominous aura toward the refugees lowered his gun and turned around, his neck broke with a dull thud.
Crunch-
The neck of the soldier armed with the frame-type exosuit was snapped as if it was about to be torn off. The refugees nearby scattered in all directions like insects at the sudden incident before their eyes.
Gyaaaah!
Ohhhh!
The platoon leader and non-commissioned officers who were checking the tactical camera footage aimed their guns at them, but all they could see were the fleeing refugees.
[Stop!]
[Stop! Everyone get down!]
Thud, thud, thud!
A soldier shooting into the air.
The loud gunshots obscured the sound of something being pierced.
Phew-
Gyaaaahh …
Aaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!
The imperial soldiers’ eyes were drawn to the sight of the fleeing refugees lying prostrate on the ground.
beep—–
[The enemy!]
The platoon leader shouted as he confirmed that the vital signs of his men had been cut off, and with a thud, several refugees were crushed into a red mud puddle.
