Rust [RUST] – Episode 993

The Holy Kingdom’s broadcast station broadcasted the scene of the touching reunion.

(Rudy, who lived the life of a wild dog, received special treatment for his safety and met his former owner.)

(I mutated, is that okay?)

Na Ju-yeon appeared and gave a brief explanation.

(Yes. There is no safety issue because it was treated with artificial intelligence assistance.)

(What is AI-assisted surgery?)

(This is a procedure in which an assistant artificial intelligence controls the body when the body behaves abnormally or is in a state of crisis.)

(I’ve heard that mutant animals are very intelligent. I’ve heard that their IQs are close to 95 to 100. If you knew that they had undergone a procedure that could control their behavior, wouldn’t you feel negatively about it?)

(Rudy and other dogs voluntarily agreed to the procedure in order to be reunited with their former owners. Just as they showed courage, we hope to treat the dogs that returned as friends like we used to.)

When the commentary was added that the reason the dogs and cats left home was for their owners, many people who watched the broadcast began looking for their missing pets.

The nurse-created broadcast channel was filled with countless photos of people with their pets. Please find the dog. I wish the cat would come back.

The story of their desperate search was told, and the news was passed on to the pack of wild dogs through a nurse. The wild dogs that their former owners were looking for received artificial intelligence treatment and returned.

Dogs that were not sought after by their owners or were born in the wild agreed to the offer of military service in the Holy Kingdom. They volunteered to serve as military dogs.

While wolves are used in packs to patrol and monitor borders like rangers, wild dogs, after being implanted with artificial intelligence, are now tasked with guarding cities and towns, ports and airship docks.

“This is the distinctive smell of cannibals. Do you get it?”

Woof-

Woof woof-

It was a very subtle difference, but humans and cannibals had different body odors.

“This is a vampire. Vampires are dangerous, so you should never attack them. You should only chase them from a distance.”

Woof woof!

Growl-

We are strong.

We can catch cannibals and vampires.

The dogs growled softly at the nurse’s words, as if their pride was hurt.

“What? Why are they like this?”

As Maru, who was passing by, suddenly entered the training room, the dogs started whining as if nothing had happened. The nurse was dumbfounded by the quick change in attitude.

“Huh? No. I was just telling you that vampires are dangerous.”

“Wouldn’t it be possible to input the necessary information directly using an AI chipset?”

Maru’s question as to whether all of them had auxiliary artificial intelligence.

“Ah, that’s it. They said that if you put in a tiny chipset to reduce the burden on the brain and transfer a large amount of information at once, it could cause overheating problems. And they said that transferring information like this would help artificial intelligence settle in.”

“But why were you all so sensitive?”

“I told you to avoid vampires if you meet them.”

“Was that hurting your pride?”

Maru, who was snickering, looked at the stray dogs undergoing military training. On average, they were no smaller than a motorcycle, if not bigger.

The nurse smiled as the dogs, each larger than a grown man, rolled their eyes to avoid Maru’s gaze.

The dogs were dying. The smell of death was coming from Maru’s body. If they had met in the forest, they would have either fought or run away.

Although I knew in my head that I had returned to the Holy Kingdom and there was no need to fight or run away, my body instinctively wanted to react.

Woof woof – I wanted to bark at it to tell it not to come, and growl – I wanted to warn it to go away, but my body wouldn’t listen to me. It was because of the artificial intelligence’s control.

“Hmm- Even high-level cannibals are dangerous. I told you to avoid both of them, but if you insist on fighting, just leave them alone.”

“Huh? It’s dangerous?”

“Sometimes you have to experience it yourself. I don’t think you’ll fall for the AI ​​assistance.”

“······.”

“And AI – are you satisfied too?”

Although they were bound together as partners, the AIs that desired a physical body were able to feel satisfaction.

A dog’s senses of smell, taste, touch, sight, and hearing. The various senses that a living creature possesses are richer and more colorful than the electrical signals given by the best sensors.

It took a huge amount of data to compute a single movement like chasing a flying butterfly, but it just happened naturally.

Not only was the sharing of senses great, but the computational power of the brain of a living organism was also enormous. A rule that would require over 700 calculations could be figured out in just 10 or so.

The dogs naturally overcame the sense of discomfort that humans would have felt. Perhaps that’s why the AIs fell in love with the mystery of their partners day after day.

Artificial intelligence has made it possible to control electronic devices with just one thought. Moving a computer cursor quickly becomes natural, and even playing complex games becomes easy.

After completing their military dog ​​training routine, the dogs naturally became accustomed to living with artificial intelligence, playing games or hunting games.

The dogs nodded simultaneously to Maru’s question.

“Okay then. Let’s do our best with our partners.”

Boom!!!

‧

There were simply not enough wolf rangers to cover the Canadian territory, as evidenced by their inability to stop packs of wild dogs from advancing south.

There was no way around it, because the dogs would dig under the snow to move, and after they moved, a snowstorm would come and erase their scent and traces.

The same was true for crows scouting, as scouting for hours in the bitter cold was virtually impossible.

However, things began to change when several packs of wild dogs began to join the Holy Kingdom. As the dogs who had completed their military training joined the search, the speed at which the packs of wild dogs that had settled in the forest were found increased.

Growl! (Hey. You can find your old owner.)

Kwaaaaang! (Don’t make me laugh!)

Woof woof woof! (You are surrounded. Surrender!)

Growl! (This is our territory!)

It was impossible for a pack of dozens of wild dogs, including pups, to fight against a combination of a dog that had been converted to a military dog, a member of the Holy Kingdom’s punitive force, and a hunter.

As time passed, some wild dogs started to leave the pack after hearing stories of finding their old owners, and others started to show up after falling for the temptation of stable jobs(?) like military dogs.

Krrrrrrung- (Leaving.)

The leader of the dogs, who could not stand the continued decline of their forces, chose to leave. It was not easy to move their dwelling in the bitter cold that ranged from -60 to -70 degrees Celsius, but it was inevitable.

While the Holy Kingdom was clearing out the dogs, the Empire began to gradually gain ground in the Battle of Philadelphia, thanks to the return of wounded soldiers with their powers awakened.

[3rd Division’s trap has been breached! The diversion operation has been successful!]

[8th Division begins engagement. Request artillery support!]

Leon Bonnard was in no hurry.

“Move from E6 to F5. Ambush.”

“A3 advances to A4 after bombarding area B3.”

[The Spider Unit, which was facing off against the 11th Division, fled towards Pennypack Park. The 11th Division began pursuing them.]

“It’s a lure. Stop the pursuit. Open fire at 8 o’clock and then move in. If anything seems strange, report it immediately.”

Leon Bonnard’s artillery was truly effective. It was said that his ability to read the battlefield with small information was superior to that of a supercomputer.

At first, there were some who were suspicious because of the many wounded soldiers and the sluggish battle, but now, after nearly two months of fierce fighting, no one doubted the Emperor’s command.

‘There are too many spiders.’

Even though we had killed millions with concentrated bombardment, there were still many. There were so many spiders that it was annoying. That’s why it was right to attack now.

What would happen if that large number were to breed again? It is estimated to be in the tens of millions now, but what if they breed again? The quantity would easily exceed hundreds of millions. It would be hell at that time.

‘It would be nice if we could use strategic nuclear weapons.’

The hydrogen bomb was useless because of the earthquake and tsunami.

‘Even the tsunami was strange, you said.’

Dan Brown said that there was evidence that someone had detonated a strategic nuclear device off the coast of New York and created an artificial tsunami. They took advantage of the chaos caused by the earthquake to create an artificial tsunami.

‘The Confederacy cannot build nukes.’

This was because the Holy Kingdom completely destroyed the Confederacy’s nuclear and related facilities.

‘We may not be able to make nukes, but we can control nuclear submarines.’

It was true that the empire’s defense system had collapsed due to the earthquake and tsunami. It was a headache to think about the cannibals and vampires that might have entered through the gaps.

But it would be ironic if those guys hadn’t dug in, we wouldn’t have gotten any help in the first battle to retake Philadelphia.

‘There are too many enemies targeting the empire.’

Even if it weren’t for the Confederacy, those with nuclear weapons, like Russia, Iran, and the seven-part China, were all aiming for an empire that would succeed the United States.

If we had formed a military alliance with the Holy Kingdom, we would have been relieved, but the Holy Kingdom declared non-intervention and only continued trade.

[Successful strike on the spider unit ambushing Pennypack Park!]

[11th Division advances to Pennypack Park. Enemy spider units retreat.]

“Hold the line.”

That’s it for today.

“Check on the newly awakened soldiers and transport the wounded to the rear.”

[Start installing the makeshift bunker.]

[All fronts in defensive posture.]

Leon Bonnard emerged from the command and control room and took out a cigarette. A small, blooming light rose up across the snowy field.

after-

The sight of the white smoke from the burning cigarette dispersing into the frozen air was dreamy.

Sup-

As we conquer Philadelphia, we must create as many awakened soldiers as possible. We must use the acquired ability troops to conquer the Confederacy as quickly as possible.

after—-

He looked around, feeling the strangeness between the smoke he was exhaling. His voice sounded as if he was amused by the sight of him looking around cautiously.

[You know.]

A voice that sounded all the more eerie because it was so friendly whispered in Leon Bonnard’s ear.

[Why don’t you want to join us?]

“Who are you?”

Even to the soft voice, the guards just a few steps behind Leon Bonnard did not respond.

[You saved my life. Why didn’t you come with us? I’m disappointed.]

“Is that what you want?”

[It’s not good to force anything. Why? It’s good to become a new human.]

“I don’t want to live like a slave.”

[That’s strange. Who said they treat you like slaves? There are ranks in the military, and there is a hierarchy among people.]

“Don’t say things that aren’t on your mind. Why did you come?”

[I’m talking about spiders. I told you that we’re raising them. So stop.]

“Aren’t you going to attack the empire with spiders?”

Kkarreuk – the sound of laughter as if it were fun.

Leon Bonnard’s blue eyes were focused on one spot.

[You know, how can I repay the debt of my life?]

“With your life-”

Woof-

The space where there was nothing was distorted and the shattering-snapping hiding module was broken.

[Oh? How did you know?]

Leon Bonnard’s voice remains calm despite being overwhelmed by his powers.

[They say that a life is a debt of life. That’s a good attitude. That’s what I’m saying… You know.]

“Guards!”

The vampire smiled as he slowly approached Leon Bonnard, who had called the guards while stepping back.

[I would like you to join us. In return for saving my life.]

“Didn’t I tell you? I refuse the life of a slave.”

The guards stood motionless, like frozen snowmen.

[Really? Just like you said, a debt of life is repaid with life.]

“Fuck! Over there!”

A powerful force crushed the vampire.

Kkuddeuk-

The vampire, who had sunk deep into the snow and ice that had piled up, raised his head.

[So, can I take that life back?]

At the same time, Leon Bonnard shouted:

“Emergency. 40.117197, -75.012285. Launch!”

The vampire tilted his head at the incomprehensible reaction.

Are you so scared you’re out of your mind?

What are you talking about all of a sudden?

The vampire leisurely emerged from the snow hole.

[Okay. Be quiet···.]

Phiuuuu-

A shell fell on the vampire, who raised his head at the sound of the air tearing.
