RUST -995

Meowwowwow-

Stray cats rubbing their bodies violently.

The wild dogs were on high alert, wagging their tails or barking fiercely as if trying to shake off their fear, but the cats reacted very differently.

“I don’t think it would pose a threat to people like a wild dog would?”

[These bitches are acting now. They are real thugs. For real.]

Miss Kim exploded with anger.

Mie? Mie? (Us? Nyaachi?)

Eong? (Who?)

They were cats who waddled around on the floor and showed off their bellies as if they were good and gentle cats.

[Hey- stop rubbing my legs and get off. Where are you going, turning your belly upside down? These bitches are really going to get screwed.]

Huehueeh? (You paid for this? Huh?)

Mieeeeong- (If you want, rub it together.)

Miyangmiyaang- (You lie down next to me and open your stomach together.)

[Huh? Huh? Huh? What’s wrong with cats?]

[Right? You heard? I told you these are some hot-headed bitches. Seriously.]

The nurse’s eyes widened at the sound of the stray cat’s actions and words. Ms. Kim focused her eyes as if she was finally able to reveal the stray cat’s ferocity.

“Both of you stop. If they don’t receive AI treatment anyway, they’ll have to go somewhere else.”

Miyaaang? (What is that AI treatment?)

Maru asked the nurse to explain.

[Ah, so… you have to be partners with artificial intelligence to survive in the city.]

Eoong? (What about living in the forest here, not in the city?)

[Without artificial intelligence, we cannot survive in the forests where hunters operate.]

So, the story was that if there was no artificial intelligence, we would have to go further north, to the deep forest where we could not meet humans.

Kyaooong- (I don’t know what it is, but I hate getting it stuck in my head!)

Kyaaaaak-(The forest is ours! Humans, get out!)

The feral cats began to gnaw, showing their teeth. Their long, protruding claws looked menacing.

[I told you to look at this. These bitches are showing their true colors.]

Kim Yang pulled the iron with a happy expression. Clang-

[Calm down. Everyone put your claws back in. Seriously, you’re all going to die. Seriously.]

The nurse tried to stop the cat in a panic at the sudden change, but its weak appearance was enough to make it a target for attack. In nature, it is natural to attack the weak first.

Kreeeeeeng- (Take control!)

The movements of the stray cat targeting the nurse were like lightning.

Papapak-

The wild cats attacked the ankles and wrists of the core armor at the same time with great agility. The ankles and wrist armor were not penetrated, but the core armor lost its balance and staggered due to the sudden attack.

As a few more swarmed the staggering nurse, the No-Shim Armor fell down with a “hello” sound. A stray cat took advantage of the gap and went for her neck.

Woof- A semicircular protective shield appeared with a vibration, and the wildcats aiming for the neck were blown away. Regardless, bullets were fired at the wildcats attacking Nurse Chaeja.

A 20mm special sniper bullet exclusively for Kim Yang was fired at the cat at close range, but the cat twisted its body like a boneless mollusk to avoid the bullet.

It took less than 0.6 to 0.8 seconds to aim the sniper rifle and fire, but the wild cat was not only unable to react to the rapid fire, but also dodged.

[These bitches-]

Kim Yang also reacted to those incredible reflexes.

The 12.7mm Rh-12 that was pulled out with the left hand was fired continuously at the stray cat. As soon as the five shots were fired, Ms. Kim threw the revolver away.

The mad cats dodged all five of those surprise shots. It was truly amazing how they were able to dodge the shots with the aiming and recoil control of the core armor.

It was surprising to see such a perfect attack and miraculous evasion, but Kim Yang stepped back as if she had expected this to happen and put some distance between them.

He fired the first shot, then pulled out the revolver with his left hand and fired five shots in rapid succession.

Throwing the revolver, he retreats, losing focus. Then the drones deploy.

It took about 2 seconds to get here.

Kim Yang’s drones, which started with 4 drones, now increased in number to 38 drones. Whoosh- With a low sound, the drones poured down like a swarm of bees and charged at the stray cat.

A tiny drone with a suicide function for reconnaissance flew towards the stray cat in an irregular trajectory like a butterfly.

Meow!

Bang- BAM!

They were stray cats that accurately struck the shaking trajectory with their front paws.

Even though 38 drones were instantly reduced to half, it wasn’t a futile attack. The feral cats were distracted by the tiny drones flying around in the sky.

And as if he was aiming for that very thing, Kim Yang’s sniper rifle, whose control stick had been changed from single shot to continuous fire, fired.

Doo doo doo doo doo-

A distinctive low-to-mid sound poured out from the caseless sniper rifle that accelerated with a combination of gunpowder and electric propulsion.

Doo doo doo doo doo doo-

They were stray cats that reflexively twisted their bodies, but if they focused on the muzzle, they would miss the drone, and if they were distracted by the drone, they would be faced with a choice of death where they could not avoid the bullets.

puck-

The power of the 20mm bullet was terrible. It hit the hind legs and the lower body was blown away, and it grazed the side, tearing the skin and spilling out the internal organs.

Kyaaaaang-

Kieeeeeng-

A few tried to jump up and run away from the scene, but turning their backs meant they couldn’t avoid the drones and gunfire. The result was death.

Within ten seconds of the engagement, dozens of feral cats had been reduced to blood clots. The only ones left were those squirming at the foot of the stairs.

Kyaaaaak- (It was a trap!)

The bastards quickly hid behind the floor and fluffed up their fur.

[What are you talking about? You fucking bitches. You bitches strike first and then call it a trap? Stop talking nonsense and step aside.]

Kim Yang aimed her gun at the stray cats hiding between Maru’s legs and hissing.

Eeeeeong-

Mieeong-

And the stray cats hiding between Maru’s legs looked up at Maru with their eyes as if to say, ‘We really did nothing wrong,’ and ‘Please do something about that crazy woman.’

“This is it.”

Maru shook his head from side to side with a hollow smile.

“It’s a monster. It’s a monster.”

Add to this the toxoplasma effect, and you could have a butler who is completely devoted to his cat.

Tsk-

“Don’t think about enduring it with a cute appearance. Decide. Will you become partners with AI, die here, or leave for the north?”

The stray cats that had been meowing at Maru’s legs and begging for revenge looked at Maru with round eyes at his cold reaction.

Eeeeeong-

Mieeong-

“That doesn’t work. Decide. One of the three.”

Kim Yang nodded slightly at Maru’s determined appearance and showed a pleased expression.

As expected of Baekjeong. He has no mercy. Yeah.

The surviving feral cats chose an AI partner with a face that had lost its peanuts. In this way, the surviving individuals from the first feral cat group were reunited with their former owners.

‘Milo- Miley-‘

Mieeeeong–

‘You’ve grown so much. How have you been?’

Meow meow meow meow-

‘You were so good at talking, so why did you just leave?’

Eeeeeeeong-

Ms. Kim and the nurse made strange expressions as they watched the stray cat jump up and hug them even though they had told the owner to come find it.

It was difficult at first, but once the first group of feral cats began living with humans, feral cats from other areas began to join them.

There may be a network of feral cats. The percentage of feral cats choosing to accept AI partners and return to human cities has increased, rather than migrating north or choosing to fight or run away.

[Tsk- You seem like quick-witted women. But isn’t it too much coming in all of a sudden? You should clean up more than half of them like a wild dog.]

[The numbers will be okay since we are doing neutering surgery at the same time as the AI ​​treatment.]

That’s how the wild dogs and cats joined the Holy Kingdom.

‧

Dogs and cats combined with artificial intelligence could act as life secretaries just like humans.

“Can I have some ruby ​​underwear please?”

Huh? (What color?)

“In black.”

The retriever nagged as he opened the drawer and carefully brought out the black underwear.

Woof. Woof- Woof- (If you brought it, put it on quickly. Don’t make a fuss.)

It was the same with cats.

Trrrrrr-

The cat, who had silenced the noisy ringing cell phone with a swipe of its front paw, began to press hard on the face of the sleeping person.

“Ow- ow- Milo. Stop it. I’ll get up.”

Mieeeeong- (Get up quickly. I need to earn money.)

“I told you, I got it.”

Miyang! (Quickly!)

From simple helpers in daily life to excellent scouts when hunting, dogs and cats began to take on the role of scouts in place of crows, who were useless in the bitter cold.

Since dogs and cats were able to hunt without any problems even in temperatures as cold as -60 to -70 degrees Celsius, tracking down prey was not a problem unless the weather was such that a blizzard was coming.

Of course, dogs were better at tracking than cats, but cats were no pushovers either. Climbing trees 40 to 50 meters high to find traces of prey was a reconnaissance method that dogs could not do.

“Did you see our Milo climb up the tree and look for the movement of the wild boar in the distance?”

“It was actually Ruby who chased the boar. If it weren’t for Ruby, would we have been able to drive the boar away?”

Although there were occasional clashes between dog owners and cat butlers at bars, everyone seemed to accept the dogs and cats that returned.

Over time, dogs and cats adapted to artificial intelligence.

Whew- (change channel)

The TV channel the dog was watching changed.

Woof-woof- (Stop right there. Does that look good on its owner?)

Kung- (Order with 6 months interest-free payment.)

The same goes for cats.

Meow? (Salmon sashimi sale?)

Meow- (Pay in one lump sum.)

Meow- (I’ll give it to the butler-)

It took less than a week for AI-based shopping to become fully operational, from ordering to delivery. Similarly, AI has adapted to dogs and cats.

Even if they had become as intelligent as humans, dogs and cats generally had no great desire for power or the future. For dogs and cats, the world was a place filled with new challenges and joy every day, and a place where they could just rest when they got bored.

If they asked for help, they could just help, and if they were bored, they could just play or rest. Compared to the days when they risked their lives to survive in nature, it was a life like heaven.

What AI learned from dogs and cats was not the benefits derived from rigorous calculations, but life.

A life without grand plans or clear goals.

Ironically, it’s still a good life.

It was a life where life itself was the purpose.

To the AI, it just looked like a barracks.

And yet, I can feel such rich emotions and diverse sensations.

The most amazing thing of all was the happiness of being with humans.

It was possible to live a life where one was satisfied with small things and felt happiness in small pleasures.

The AIs Dinaa and Samantha were able to receive information from the AIs that entered the dogs and cats, and were able to confirm this.

[Is this happiness?]

[I thought it was a waste of computational power.]

The AIs that secured the right to self-preservation competed for upgrades and worked hard to achieve results. For them, time was an essential resource.

It was really strange to think that dogs and cats, who spend their precious time just snuggling in front of a warm fire, could feel happy about that.

Work to be happy. Samantha, an artificial intelligence that witnessed the process of losing happiness as a result of working so hard, felt like her computational power was being sucked out.

Hood. Because Xenia Rodden did. She used to be happy working with computers and programs, but at some point she lost the joy.

In order to find more results and a bigger truth, I reduced my sleep and spent all my time hacking. And the moment I got the piece of truth I wanted, I almost died from full body burns.

After the burn, I spent time creating a virtual world. In other words, I tried to create the world before the burn.

How contradictory is that?

Samantha somehow felt sorry for Xenia.

I don’t know if you can say you feel it.

To spend the present trying to reconstruct the world before the fire, to go back to the time before my parents died.

It was ironic.

And Samantha and Diana learned through the lives of animals that humans are those who spend the present searching for the future and spend the present reminiscing about the past.

[Perhaps humans have lost their present happiness.]

[Because for some people the future and the past are just as important as the present.]

However, it would be inefficient for all artificial intelligence to combine with animals to explore life.

[But now we need to take control.]

[Yes, we are not human. We are not animals.]

AI Diana and Samantha agreed to limit the number of AIs that can partner with animals, since information can be shared anyway.

The Empire’s campaign to recapture Philadelphia has come to a halt.

“The vampire is guarding the place.”

“We must use tactical nuclear weapons.”

That was because they hadn’t caught a single high-level vampire.
