RUST -836

What is going on?

The voices of those women talking as if they didn’t even care about him. No matter how panicked he was, he still couldn’t believe he was being treated by such a crazy woman.

The Count shuddered with rising anger. A powerful psychic wave shook the surroundings, but neither Naruzu nor the Imperial Army were caught up in the psychic wave mixed with dominance.

[Oh, you must be angry.]

[How about the Imperial kids?]

[Is it okay?]

[Are you taking good pictures?]

[uh-]

It was Naruzu who was carefully filming the Imperial Army running wild to leave evidence. The Count was dumbfounded.

‘Just these.’

I wanted to tear them all apart and kill them, but it was dangerous when that monster came. I wanted to hit my past self who thought he could easily catch someone like Vladimir Kalin.

‘Is he really the king?’

The pinnacle of the new human race and the true ruler. The being who will open a new era. And the key that will free you from the desires you couldn’t escape even after becoming a new human race.

‘He is not the ruler. He is just the key.’

If Vladimir Kalin were the ruler, he would have tried to embrace the new humanity. The Holy Kingdom was a country that openly threatened to slaughter the new humanity.

It was Vladimir Kalin who decided on such a policy. He was not the absolute ruler. If so, he was just a key.

The Count felt he should share the information he had obtained. There were twelve high-ranking nobles in total. If someone hadn’t been foolishly murdered, all twelve would be intact.

‘If we can secure Vladimir Kalin, even if we ally with other guys.’

He could become more perfect with his flesh and blood. First, he had to get out of here. As the Count concentrated, the wound healed in an instant.

Bang – The Count who had set off the smoke bomb rushed straight into the Imperial Army camp. The Imperial Army, who had been watching a fire across the river, responded hurriedly, but they were unable to shake off the Count who had stuck close to them.

[Ouch! It’s jumping.]

[You can move already?]

[I missed it. I missed it!]

[Shoot!]

[Ass. Shoot the ass!]

[It’s dangerous because we’re stuck with the imperial army.]

[Things that don’t help at all.]

At first, the imperial army was confused, but as soon as some order was given, their movements changed. They began to change into a formation to trap the vampires, just like before.

[What? Their movements have changed?]

[That’s right.]

[The Imperial Army is telling us not to come?]

[Don’t come near me because they’re going to catch me?]

[Are you crazy?]

Naruz’s eyes turned cold.

[What should I do?]

[We can’t fight the imperial army.]

[Let’s block the road.]

[Is that so?]

[You saw it before. You can’t stop them.]

[Yes. Even though it looks like that, he ran away from the King. The Imperial kids can’t catch him.]

[Let’s just wait.]

[Shouldn’t I still report this to Oraburning?]

[I did it.]

[good job.]

As requested by the Imperial Army, Naruzu retreated.

Maru frowned as the imperial army repeatedly asked for the corpses of cannibals killed by the imperial army. After all the effort to save their lives, they are asking for their corpses?

Why?

Since the necessary information is already shared among the information extracted from the head, why do you need a corpse?

Are you researching cannibals? I don’t understand why you need cannibal test subjects. You’re using diagnostic kits to catch cannibals that are mixing in with the refugees.

‘The Imperial Rangers are controlling the refugees and catching cannibals, but they still need cannibal corpses?’

If it’s about the previous incident, wouldn’t the footage recorded on the tactical camera be sufficient? Above all, the Holy Kingdom was burning all the cannibal corpses.

This was also because animals that were already strangely mutating could become even more strange after eating the corpses of cannibals. It was also because there might be people who tried to eat the organs of cannibals and become cannibals themselves.

The Free Canadians, as well as the citizens of the Empire, were keenly aware of the end. The harsh climate of several years had already destroyed any hope of a return to the old weather.

Weather that borders on natural disaster. Diseases that are becoming more and more toxic. Always lacking basic necessities and energy. People living in the affluent 21st century had a hard time enduring the poverty.

What if you could become a new human being and be free from all those deficiencies? How long would you be able to resist that temptation?

The end had begun, but the rich were rich and the upper class had no difficulties in living, but the poor did not.

If the forces that seek to overthrow the empire attack the lower classes rather than the upper classes, will they be able to reject cannibals?

[It’s definitely weird.]

Ki-soon agreed with Maru’s idea.

[There was controversy over IQ when recruiting for the US military. There was also controversy over academic background.]

“That’s what I’m saying. Among the soldiers who were part of the former Federal Army, there are many who come from poor families.”

What if we introduce a program that would give poor soldiers enormous benefits and make them new humans? Or if we recommend such a program to the soldiers’ families? Would the poor be able to resist such temptation?

[If you package it as a new human race, they’ll try to do it to each other.]

“What if you were to use that to continue the super soldier program?”

Even before the United States of America was dissolved, they were pursuing a super soldier program using cannibals and mutants. They were even targeting Maru directly. Couldn’t there be people connected to that in the Empire?

[Assigning cannibals to the military as super soldiers?]

“The Empire will probably still have a lot of the inhibitors that were supplied in the past. Even if that weren’t the case, since the recipe for the inhibitor has been revealed, there won’t be any burden. The military thinks that if they can control it, cannibals are an effective force.”

Since there was a vertical command system unique to cannibals, control was not a problem. Since there was no need to maintain expensive exosuits, and they could just give them inhibitors or, if necessary, some human flesh, it was overwhelmingly advantageous in terms of cost-effectiveness to turn cannibals into super soldiers to increase their power.

[There’s no way that old man would allow that.]

“It might be a matter of gathering materials so that you can do it at any time, even if you don’t do it right away.”

[That’s ridiculous. Ha- Well, I guess that’s possible since the Imperial Military and Homeland Security Bureau are the commanding officers. So what are you going to do? Are you going to hand over the cannibal’s corpse?]

“Are you crazy? I should tell you to stop talking nonsense. Tell that old man that he can’t talk nonsense. I just saved the Imperial Army here. Now that I’m done with work and I’m ready to live, I’m talking nonsense asking for the corpse of a cannibal.”

So Ki-soon objected to Maru’s tone, which seemed to suggest that she should talk to the old man.

[No, Your Majesty. Wouldn’t it be better for you to tell that story yourself?]

“It’s awkward for both sides because Canada is letting go.”

And he was also shocked to see that the Imperial Army had trained Maru as a hypothetical enemy.

[What? Is that true?]

“The Empire has decided to withdraw from the Canadian region?”

[No. That too, but more than that, the Imperial Army trained you as a hypothetical enemy.]

“Okay. I’ll send you a video of the battle between the Imperial Army and the vampires. Watch it. You’ll know what I’m talking about.”

The Holy Kingdom Command, who had seen the footage, were all silent, but Kim Yang was truly furious.

[You want me to hand over the corpse of a cannibal? Either the concept has run away or you are determined to die.]

Even when I was working at the company, it was Ms. Kim who would shoot a bullet in the head of a woman who was talking nonsense next to me. But when I saved her from shitting and dying, she said, “What the heck?”

[If the reason you’re asking for cannibal corpses is really because of the Super Soldier program, then it means you can’t trust the Imperial military.]

The PD also seemed angry at the actions of the Imperial Army, and his voice was rarely filled with anger.

[Okay, Your Majesty. I will speak to Mr. Den right away.]

“Regardless of the story, I will dispose of the cannibal’s corpse right away. Tell them so.”

[Ah- Okay. I’ll do that. Just make sure not to clash with the Imperial Army.]

“Am I a kid?”

After that, as Kim Yang’s angry remarks and Hood and Na Ju-yeon’s stories mixed together and chaos descended, Naruzu’s report came in.

[Come… Your Majesty – The vampire has fled towards the Imperial Army.]

“what?”

[He. I shot his knees and hips to take away his mobility, but his wounds healed in an instant and he entered the Imperial Army formation···]

“so?”

[The Imperial Army told us not to approach because they wanted to capture us.]

“Ha- See- There-.”

Before I could even say, “Where are you?”, the assistant AI uploaded a video of Naruzh’s engagement and location onto the HUD (head-up display).

[Mobilize everything you can to clear the battlefield as quickly as possible.]

[ancient.]

There was no reaction from the Imperial Army as the vampires wreaked havoc within the formation and the guards burned the corpses of the cannibals.

The escort team cleared the battlefield using drones, robots, and even a crow search party that moved with Maru.

Maru, who confirmed that the disposal of the cannibal’s corpse was almost finished, changed into his hiding suit.

[Things seem to be taking a strange turn here.]

Ki-sun reported that she had spoken to Mr. Den in a serious voice.

“Why again?”

[They say there are rumors going around your council that you are the king of the cannibals.]

Maru barely managed to calm down the six characters at the absurd words.

“What the f–ing bullshit are you talking about?”

[When Joseph Meyer stabbed the Imperial Council, I don’t think you were the only one who heard the conversation.]

“Then why did you do it a long time ago? Why are you suddenly acting up now?”

[At that time, the Empire was in danger in many ways. There was the Confederacy situation and the rat problem.]

“So, it seems like all the problems that were going to explode have exploded, so are you just going to keep going?”

[I don’t know about that. Anyway, the issue of Joseph Meyer’s will is being dealt with seriously in the Imperial Council.]

Maru was truly dumbfounded. To be honest, he was calling a person who was serious about defeating cannibals the cannibal king. At this point, he thought they were calling for a fight.

“Are you serious about something that can be done by spitting once into a diagnostic kit? Are you kidding me?”

[I told that story too, but the Imperial Council members said they couldn’t believe it. How would they know if we had manipulated it?]

Maru couldn’t help but laugh in vain.

[That’s the story. The king is a cannibal king and is purging cannibals from the opposing faction. Otherwise, if the king were a human, why would he be so vicious in killing cannibals?]

“······.”

[Why did you fight with cannibals while being hated and becoming enemies of many people by detonating hydrogen bombs on France, England, and the Confederacy, just like the Empire did…]

“······.”

If there were no political or economic benefits, they would not have been so vicious in killing cannibals, and isn’t the fact that they killed them evidence that there were political and economic benefits?

The move to become the sole king of cannibals. It is argued that this is an action to eliminate enemies, which is exactly what it is.

“So, you were just listening to that noise, too?”

[Even though the old man said it was nonsense, he stood up and said that the reason the Empire unilaterally signed the treaty to withdraw from Canada was because they were possessed by the Cannibal King. He said that the reason they stamped their seal on such a ridiculous treaty was because they were influenced by the ruling power.]

What the hell. What the heck…

It was a room where all I could say was that the kids who really do politics were amazing. My head shook involuntarily, and a screen appeared on Maru’s HUD. It was a video sent by the Crow Patrol and the drone.

[···Even though Mr. Den explained the dire situation at the time and said that if you didn’t save him, the elite soldiers would all be wiped out, so it was urgent, it was no use. Even if the Free Canadian League said they would surrender to the Empire, it wasn’t a situation where they could merge. If he wasn’t the president, he would have been impeached right away···. There was no chaos like that.]

“Wait a minute. Video has arrived.”

[What kind of video is this?]

“I’ll connect you, so let’s take a look first.”

Maru focuses on the image that appears on the HUD.

Contrary to expectations that the vampires that had infiltrated the Imperial Army formation would be caught, the vampires began to corner the Imperial Army. And in the worst possible way.

The problem started with the small EMP bombs that the Imperial Army had.

I don’t know why they had a small EMP grenade, thinking the reason they lost contact with the Rangers was because of the cannibals, but the tables were turned when the vampires detonated it.

The core drive area of ​​the exosuit was EMP-resistant so there was no problem, but the later separately equipped psychic wave/dominance response device was not.

Even though the electronic device performance was lost, the material of the helmet itself had defensive capabilities, so even though a wide area was not swept away at once, the imperial troops near the vampire were possessed.

The formation that had been holding the vampires back collapsed in an instant, and as the Imperial forces began to fight each other, casualties began to pour in quickly.

Unlike cannibals who must eat meat, vampires can only obtain energy by sucking blood and regain their energy in an instant.

Just as a near-death experience triggers the awakening of one’s abilities, it seemed that the repeated near-death experiences and large amounts of blood intake were raising the level of a vampire.

Thump-

Thump- thump-

“Wouldn’t it be dangerous to just let that thing suck blood?”

[What’s the video? It’s a video of the Imperial Army in chaos. Could it be that this is happening in real time? The unit that Mr. Den asked to be saved?]

“uh.”

[If they all die, what happens to that treaty?]

I warned them not to touch the vampires and not to approach their camp because the Imperial Army would catch them. What can I do? The Naruz guys recorded it well.

“And it’s not our fault that they’re being ripped off like that now. We kept them alive as per the contract. How can we stop them when they say they want to die after we spared them?”

[But if we just leave it alone, will you just sit there and do nothing? I don’t think that part is written in the treaty. And if we just leave it alone, it seems like it would be dangerous?]

“That’s that. Well, the place is a plain. If it gets too much, we can just have the crows wipe them all out with nuclear grenades, so there’s no need to waste energy on them.”

[Are you serious?]

“Seriously. If I deal with it anyway, they’ll probably find fault with me, saying that I killed the Vampire Count because I’m the Cannibal King and wanted to monopolize power. Just to clear up that misunderstanding, I’ll say I’m not moving.”

[······.]

“I saved you once, but if you break the treaty with the excuse that the kids were wiped out by vampires, you’ll be killed, so give me a firm warning. You can send me the video now. And I’ll say the same thing.”

[···i get it.]

King of the Cannibals?

This is fucking crazy, you guys.

So that they can fully savor the shit they’ve done.
