Rust [RUST] – Episode 956

Dan Brown looked haggard, as if he had aged ten years.

[The Holy Kingdom’s reinforcements have arrived. They are led by Yania Kim and Ono Nanae.]

Kim Yang-i, a nurse, led the ant troop to the empire. It was a quick support using an airship.

‘Yania Kim and her bodyguard.’

It was Dan Brown who came to mind when he was asked to get rid of cockroaches and rats in New York.

“How many ants have come??”

[They said there were around 50 thousand.]

I could have sent 500,000.

‘Is it because of leadership?’

Den Brown, leaving his regrets behind, looked at the scoreboard.

“Ask them to help with the rescue efforts starting in Boston. Ask them to postpone the areas devastated by the tsunami. Ask them to rescue survivors first as much as possible.”

[Delivered.]

The earthquake that started in the south spread in all directions and in an instant, the eastern part was reduced to rubble. New York was already in ruins, so there was no need for further damage.

The empire was in shambles, but it was the populous cities that needed massive support: Boston, Worcester, Springfield, Providence, Hartford.

Among them, the most severely damaged was Boston, which was hit by a large-scale tsunami. About half of Boston was flooded by the tsunami following the earthquake.

The earthquake destroyed the buildings, but the tsunami hit those who couldn’t escape. The damage was so severe that it wouldn’t be strange to say that there were at least 50,000, or even 100,000 casualties.

Dan Brown pressed his temples. He couldn’t understand. There was no trench like Japan’s in eastern North America, near the North Atlantic.

There was little chance of a large tsunami occurring suddenly. There was a strong earthquake 200 years ago, but there was no record of a tsunami. Was it something that happened in Indian legends?

‘It is realistically impossible for a tsunami like this to occur, unless it is an artificial tsunami created by nuclear weapons.’

“Dan Brown said, looking around with bloodshot eyes.

“What are the chances that it is a man-made tsunami?”

“The earthquake research center has collapsed, making it difficult to confirm.”

“Find the cause of the tsunami by any means necessary! Find the reason!”

“All right.”

If a tsunami was created with a nuclear weapon in response to an earthquake…

Whoever that is, I will never forgive them. Never.

Kim Yang walked through the ruins of Boston.

Tang- tada-dang-

The sound of gunfire in the distance greeted her.

Kkeuyung- Kkeuyung-

Even though the dedicated core armor was upgraded several times, the characteristic movement sound could not be helped as a result of covering it with armor and being greedy for firepower and output. This was because in order to eliminate the movement sound, the armor had to be reduced or the output had to be adjusted.

Kkeuyung- Kkeuyung-

[Set up the rescue team position here. Here. Here. And place guards there.]

[Huh? A border guard? We came to rescue you?]

Ms. Kim stared blankly at the nurse. As always, she looked innocent.

[If you say you came to rescue us, do you think we won’t get looted?]

[Huh? Looting?]

So, this innocent nurse thinks there is no reason to attack the Holy Kingdom Rescue Team.

Under normal circumstances, that would be the case.

But now, the situation is so dire that security and the economy are in shambles. Considering that the value of medicines is skyrocketing, there is no way they would let them off as a rescue team.

The nurse bristled slightly at Ms. Kim’s expression.

[It’s not like an African civil war. It’s a bit much to loot a rescue team.]

[Are you being racist now?]

[Ahhh – No. That’s not it.]

[It’s okay. It’s okay. What’s the big deal when we’re alone.]

No, that’s not it.

If it’s racist, isn’t it because of Ms. Kim?

It was also Miss Kim who had a meaningful expression on her face as she told them to set up guards while talking about looting and such. It was as if she was definitely going to come and loot.

[Wouldn’t it be better for us to ask the Imperial Army for help instead?]

[The Imperial Army kids should protect us, of course. That’s natural, and shouldn’t we protect ourselves?]

What could be funnier than being robbed by looters? Kim Yang ordered the mobile bunkers to be deployed and positions to be set up, as if they were on the front lines.

[Manage the ants properly. Some of them will shoot at you as soon as they see you.]

[······.]

[If you don’t want to see news like ‘A swarm of mutant ants come to secure human flesh’, ‘The Holy Kingdom has unleashed a swarm of ants on Boston’. Yeah.]

[······.]

The nurse had a hard time understanding Ms. Kim’s giggling alone. She said such horrible things and then laughed and said it was okay.

[We’re looking for survivors. First, we’re looking for survivors. Then we’re clearing the rubble and digging through the tunnels.]

Kikrik- Kikrik-

A swarm of ants scattered around the camp.

‧

An announcement blared from a small speaker attached to the ant’s body.

[This is an ant unit belonging to the Holy Kingdom.]

[Currently searching for survivors.]

[Here is a guide.]

[Currently, the Holy Kingdom Rescue Ants are searching for survivors in the area.]

Looters who were diligently digging in a large gun shop that had collapsed turned their heads at the sound of a speaker. And what they saw were giant ants the size of an adult male’s thigh.

“Eww! It’s an ant!”

“FUCK!!! SHOOT!”

Thud thud!

[Currently searching for survivors.]

[Let me say it again.]

[We are searching for survivors···.]

puck-

A small speaker attached to the ant’s body goes off, and the only thing heard is the sound of a gunshot.

“Those guys can’t take regular bullets.”

“There are Korean bullets. Change them to those.”

Special bullets for monsters were supplied to all troops, and the most powerful bullets available at present were Korean-made special bullets.

Looters, their magazines loaded with 7.62mm armor-piercing bullets that can penetrate armored vehicles, pulled their triggers at a swarm of ants busily clearing away the rubble.

Although these ants could withstand a fair amount of bullets, they couldn’t withstand bullets that could penetrate even the armor of an armored vehicle. Dozens of them died in an instant, releasing pheromones.

Kikrik- Kikrik-

Kiriririri-

The raiders cheered as they watched the ants disappear into the holes.

“I won!”

“They’re running away!”

Wheeeeeek!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

‧

Of the ten places dispatched to rescue them, about three attacked the ants that arrived.

[······.]

[······.]

The nurse who watched the footage of the scene was speechless, especially since she lived in Japan, where there are many earthquakes.

[Couldn’t you hear the broadcast?]

[Even if you heard it, wouldn’t you shoot and say you didn’t hear it?]

The figure of 30% was by no means a small number. It meant that 3,000 out of 10,000 were attacked.

Out of 50,000, 15,000 were unilaterally attacked. Ordinary ants had no concept of structure. They simply followed the orders they received from the pheromone translator.

The result was death. They had been ordered by the queen ant to follow the instructions of the pheromone translator, but being attacked and killed without reason was enough to make even the mechanical ants tremble.

[······.]

[······.]

Miss Kim noticed that the mood of the ants had changed and spoke to the nurse.

[Do a good job of cracking down on the ants. From now on, only send them to places where the Imperial Army has secured security.]

[all right.]

The nurse who experienced the earthquake just felt sorry. That was the reality.

‧

Dan Brown was moved to tears as he watched the rescue video sent by Kim Yang.

[It is difficult to send a rescue team because there are many people attacking the ants.]

[I turned on the broadcast and entered the scene, but I wondered what was going on because they started shooting from the beginning, as if their ears were blocked.]

Dan Brown swallowed something that was rising in his throat at Kim Yang’s announcement that from now on, the Ant Rescue Team would only be sent to places where security was secured.

The ant troops and guards of the Holy Kingdom could have fought off the marauders and done rescue work. But they said they wouldn’t.

‘Are you saying you don’t want to be a burden?’

Controversy was growing as the Imperial Army and the Marauders immediately began fighting.

The media, which sought to keep Dan Brown in check, criticized the harsh suppression, saying that innocent civilians were killed in the process of suppressing the looters.

I thought that since it was Kim Yang who was in charge of the guards and the ants, she would deal with the looters who attacked first. But instead, she retreated.

‘I could have stirred up public opinion, but this is a problem.’

Den Brown was given a unilateral notice by Kim Yang.

Based on what we have seen of her character so far, it is unlikely that she made that decision with public opinion in mind or the political situation in mind.

‘Surely… you’re not putting the lives of humans and ants on the same scale, are you?’

The ants were moved by a pheromone device. And the ants were just organisms that moved as the pheromones commanded. So, those ants just died, and are you giving up on the survivors that could be saved by rescue?

sincerely?

No, right?

It’s embarrassing, but isn’t it the right thing to do to push away the looters who are blocking the rescue and rescue them? However, Ms. Kim unilaterally informed them that she would not do so.

[Your Majesty, the raiders have attacked the Holy Kingdom Rescue Force base.]

“······.”

[It appears they are targeting medicines and supplies.]

“···Lord.”

Still, there are people who would think of raiding a heavily armed Holy Kingdom rescue force.

Because it was an empire that inherited the order, morality, society, and culture of the United States to the greatest extent possible, it was overlooked that the predatory culture of the United States was also naturally inherited.

[The raiders led by children and women… After a warning shot from the Holy Kingdom, they took aim and opened fire.]

“oh my god.”

The future that Dan Brown had envisioned was collapsing as cracks opened up from the earthquake and tsunami.

‧

‧

The nurse’s expression was unusually stiff.

[Why are you doing that? Isn’t it okay to just give the item away?]

When the looters, women and children in front, pushed forward, she simply suggested that they retreat, leaving behind their supplies, because she felt that supplies were not as important as the lives of unarmed civilians.

Above all, how are you going to deal with the aftermath if you shoot the people who are taken hostage? Why did the ants just endure the attack? Wasn’t it to avoid getting involved like beggars?

[The ants told us to endure the attack and to crack down on them. But when we are attacked, are they just going to sting us?]

[This is fucking ridiculous. Shut up.]

[······.]

[If a kid comes pushing in, should I just abandon everything and retreat?]

[······.]

[If women come in first, should we accept them all?]

Kim Yang said coldly.

[If we just retreat from here, when the marauders see us and rush into the Holy Kingdom with their children at the forefront, will we go there and shoot them all?]

[······.]

Killing a few dozen people now could save you from killing thousands later.

Who is responsible for this situation?

The empire that requested a rescue team but failed to properly ensure safety should be defeated.

Isn’t it the fault of the retarded empire?

huh.

Ms. Kim was resolute.

Who and where was the one who went around shooting and killing the ants that went out to do rescue work?

Who didn’t stop the looters who came to rob the place with children and women at the forefront?

If I were to weigh the lives of one of our children against the lives of thousands of marauders from the empire, my child would obviously be more important.

Isn’t that obvious?

huh.

Ms. Kim said so.

[This is an urgent message from President Den Brown.]

And a moment later, a giant airship carrying the rescue team returned to the Holy Kingdom.

Leaving behind a pile of relief supplies.

Naruzu, who was released from pension, felt both happy and bitter.

One of my sisters lost her appetite, and so I stopped spending time with my brother.

The only fortunate thing is that she purged her sister who had done wrong on her own. Through that decisive purge, she proved that she had absolutely no connection with the main girl, and thus gained ‘trust’.

Yes, it was trust.

“I wish I had gone with Oraburning.”

“I know.”

“Really, because of one crazy bitch.”

“Everyone, come to your senses.”

“okay.”

“You’re saying you’re a bitch because you have nothing better to do?”

“It’s shocking. Shocking.”

“I never thought a girl named Byeon-nyeon would come out.”

Naruzu became more united.

If these strange years continued to appear, the entire Naruzu might be in danger.

“Let’s take care of this quickly and go back.”

“okay.”

“go for it!”

The blimp of Naruz entered the Swiss border.

“Still no communication with the mercenaries?”

“Uh. No response.”

“That’s strange.”

“I know.”

“Shouldn’t communication have been established by now?”

There was no response from the mercenary force until they reached Zurich, where the last communication was made.

chuck-

[Prepare to descend.]

[Ready to descend.]

[we are!]

[Naruz!]

[we are!]

[Win!]

[Brother!]

[Brother!]

[Come!]

[Come!]

[Come!]

A fully armed Naruzu began his descent.
