RUST -999

Animals uniting. The Korean government reacted sensitively to something that had never happened before.

(This has never happened.)

(Isn’t this what happened when we pushed into the survival zone to subdue animals?)

(So ​​you’re saying the animals are united? They’re different species?)

(Even if the paper is different, if they are stuck together, it means that communication is possible in some way. It is impossible.)

(In any case, the operation must continue. There is now a force of animals that can unite as one, and if they break through the siege completely, the force will grow uncontrollably.)

(Yes, we can’t stop the expedition now. If we retreat, the cunning monsters will unite and attack the city.)

(It won’t work if we stop the expedition. We have to end it now.)

After the mutated animals were pushed out into the forest, the number of attacks on houses had decreased. However, as winter approached, the situation changed as carnivorous and omnivorous animals began to attack farms and farms. In particular, wild boars and weasels came down to the city and attacked restaurants and people.

The Korean government was determined to root out the growing number of wild mutant monster attacks. It started in Gangwon Province, but it also planned to wipe out all the mountains, including the Taebaek Mountains, Sobaek Mountains, and Jirisan. If not now, with the help of the Holy Kingdom Army, then when?

[The Korean government is arguing that since they have started it, they need to see it through to the end.]

“I think so too. They are smart guys, so if you pass them by carelessly, you will definitely get revenge.”

If I hadn’t touched it, I wouldn’t have known, but if I had touched it, I would have seen the end.

[You seem smart. Wouldn’t it be better to call a nurse and negotiate properly?]

“It’s not a simple subjugation, it’s an operation that requires the awakening of our soldiers’ abilities. I think the awakening of our soldiers’ abilities is more important than that of animals.”

[No. I’m not saying that it’s not important. It’s not bad to separate out animals that can communicate. Unlike animals in North America, Korean animals communicate and respond together. I think it would be good for us to take them.]

“The ones who surrounded us now are too late.”

I made up my mind to strike, but you want to negotiate? I made a plan to work with the Korean government, but that wasn’t the case.

Above all, the fact that animals can communicate with each other means that if they wanted to, they could have taken the initiative to negotiate with humans. But they didn’t.

What does that mean? Ki-soon scratched her head at Maru’s firm decision.

[Okay. I’ll tell him that I agree to continue the operation.]

They began to tighten the encirclement, centering on the northern part of Gangwon Province. 650,000 troops, including 300,000 from the Holy Kingdom and 350,000 from the Korean army, went on the offensive.

(It’s a wild boar!)

(Stop them with a machine gun!)

(Claymore trigger!)

The bomb made from the monster’s byproduct exploded, but it was not enough to kill the boar in one go. The firepower was focused on the boar that was running fiercely while bleeding profusely all over its body.

(Don’t push! Put up a barricade!)

(Tree. Look at the tree!)

And while the boar was thus distracted, squirrels and weasels swooped down the trees.

(Don’t let it stick to your helmet!)

(Watch your fingers. They’re after your index finger!)

The squirrels and weasels cleverly targeted the exosuit’s helmet, where its sensors were concentrated. If not, they targeted the index finger, which could be used to pull the trigger.

(Ahhhh! My finger!)

(These kids are just biting my hands!)

Hands have many joints, so their armor is relatively weak. And there are monsters that focus on that.

They may look cute, but they are clearly monsters. If five or six squirrels and weasels were attached to one soldier and started gnawing at him, his armor would be pierced in an instant.

(Flamethrower! Fire the flamethrower!)

puck-!

An exosuit equipped with a flamethrower is suddenly hit by something that rushes in. Whoosh! The flamethrower explodes. Squirrels and weasels cling to the bodies of the exosuits as they run towards the flames that engulf everything. In an instant, the wires become a mess.

(what?)

(What just happened?)

puck-!

Muaaaah!

It was a goral.

A short, strong cry leapt into the seemingly impenetrable siege.

Woof! Woof! Woof!

They were the military dogs of the Holy Kingdom. The heads of the gorals that had been turning the exosuit into a tin can with body slams and front and hind leg kicks turned in the direction of the sound.

Whaaaa …

And at that time, the military dogs of the Holy Kingdom were already on the verge of pounce. The military dogs ran in the opposite direction of the wind, clearing their scent. They even made noises in the direction of the wind to attract attention, and the gorals gave up their necks in the surprise attack.

Mwaaaaaa! Mwaaaaaa! Mwaaaaaa!

Kweeeeek! Kweeeeek!

The wild boars also let out a long cry at the urgent cries of the deer. Desperate cries, as if they were telling them to retreat, continued here and there.

And then the animals scattered in all directions. The deer, wild boars, squirrels, weasels, raccoons, and wildcats all scattered in small groups.

In this way, the Holy Kingdom Army and the Korean Army succeeded in maintaining the encirclement.

[Chijik – Transport the wounded soldiers.]

[Deploy the reserve force to maintain the defensive line. The punitive force begins the pursuit.]

It was time to hunt the scattered monsters.

‧

Artificial intelligence Diana reported the status of the operation.

[Although there were more casualties than expected, we managed to hold the siege.]

[Most of the victims have injuries to the head, face, eyes and fingers, so it is difficult to treat them quickly.]

Fortunately, thanks to the advancement of cloning technology and biotechnology, it was possible to grow lost eyes and fingers. It would take some time, but it was not impossible to cure.

[The number of wounded soldiers in the Korean military alone is close to 50,000.]

“There are too many. They even ate my fingers and were obsessed with digging into the sensor area. They were targeting me.”

[Yes, that has been confirmed. And the Korean government has officially requested military dog ​​support.]

“You know there aren’t many of us, right?”

[If support is difficult, we asked that a military dog ​​program be introduced.]

“That was the goal.”

They were demanding the introduction of a military dog ​​training program using artificial intelligence. In the eyes of the Korean military, the military dogs of the Holy Kingdom were the ones who made a brilliant contribution in this operation.

I knew the animals had united, but I didn’t know they would attack with such intelligence. Above all, it was difficult to stop the small animals from attacking the exosuit, even though I knew about it.

The Holy Kingdom had experience fighting rats and ants, so they responded quickly, but the Korean army could not.

It was difficult to shoot large-caliber special bullets at friendly forces to knock down the animals that had clung to them. If they shot flamethrowers to take down monsters that were persistently attacking helmets and hands, the friendly forces would inevitably suffer greater damage.

The military dogs of the Holy Kingdom that appeared in that situation not only easily freed the squirrels, weasels, raccoons, and wildcats that were clinging to them, but also delayed the deer that suddenly jumped out from a square and the wild boar that was charging at the ignorant mantis.

The Korean military and government were fascinated by the sight of military dogs providing support as if they knew what to do.

And as the identity of the military dog ​​was gradually revealed to be a wild dog, the eyes of the Korean military and government turned.

This was because the problem of wild dogs was serious in Korea as well. Even in the metropolitan area, there were a lot of wild dogs and stray cats.

Although the number of accidents was small compared to the number of wild dogs and cats, it was clearly a threatening situation. Can you turn a wild dog into a military dog? Can you turn a wild cat back into a domestic cat? Then you should definitely do it.

“That’s difficult. Artificial intelligence technology can overcome it.”

[All right.]

Even after being rejected once, the Korean government was persistent. It was because the Korean people who saw the broadcast of the Holy Kingdom, ‘The reason why dogs and cats left on their own’ pressured the Korean government.

In Korea, dogs and cats also ran away. The reason was for their owners. Korea was abuzz with the story of a dog and cat that were reunited through artificial intelligence treatment.

There was even a story about military dogs making great contributions to the suppression operation, and public opinion was formed at the level of ‘Find my puppy.’

[If things continue this way, dogs and cats could cause political problems.]

It was predicted that artificial intelligence Diana would lower the approval rating of the Korean government. In the past, cat moms and dog lovers had a significant influence in Korea.

Their influence had been lost as the dogs and cats disappeared, but they began to gather again with the appearance of the military dogs of the Holy Kingdom.

[Wouldn’t it be okay to treat artificial intelligence with restrictions?]

“How much should we limit it and by what criteria? Should we even add a self-destruct function to the AI?”

Drones and robots were created for combat purposes, but they were not artificial intelligence that could be used as partners with animals.

“Are you asking me to add a self-destruct function when the lid is opened? Can AI accept that? What about wild dogs and cats? What about people? It’s not something to be taken lightly.”

Artificial intelligence Diana suggested.

[We will recruit artificial intelligence that agrees to the security measures.]

The idea is to put in an AI that agrees to information security to prevent AI technology from leaking. As the number of AIs increases and parallel computing becomes possible, it is an AI that is connected like a colony.

[That’s right. If we could just connect the AI ​​that has pledged security, it would be a relief. It’s true that if the Korean government is shaken right now, we’ll be tired too.]

“If the AIs volunteer to help.”

With Maru’s permission, Korean wild dogs and cats can now receive AI treatment. Military dogs from the Holy Kingdom have come into contact with Korean wild dog packs, and more than half of the wild dogs have chosen AI treatment and have been reunited with their former owners.

‘Please find our cat.’

‘Please find the ones that have become wild cats.’

As stories of dogs and their owners returning home spread, cat owners stepped forward. And things weren’t looking good for Korean stray cats.

[Parasitic infections are severe, and there are more individuals infected with deadly viruses than expected.]

According to previous research data, it is estimated that about half of the stray cats in Seoul are infected with the Toxo parasite. These stray cats meet domestic cats that have left their homes and become feral cats, so problems are bound to arise.

“A deadly virus?”

[Yes. It is an abbreviation for feline panleukopenia, commonly called panleukopenia.]

It is a highly contagious viral enteritis caused by feline parvovirus, and is fatal to all felines due to its high mortality rate.

“Cats are territorial animals, so the spread is limited… I see. Since feral cats have also started forming groups, the infection must have spread quickly.”

[Yes, it has been confirmed that the percentage of surviving cats is lower than that of the Holy Kingdom.]

“There’s nothing we can do. Let’s start with treatment first. And ask the stray cat if he wants to live with people again.”

[All right.]

Korean stray cats were also cats.

Meow! (Call the butler candidates here!)

Meeeeeong! (I’m going to the old butler. Tell him to prepare to welcome me!)

Korean feral cats have not mutated in size.

At most, it was the size of a wildcat or a serval. It was definitely smaller overall than the cats of the Holy Kingdom.

[They’re cute even though they’re naturally mixed? No, why are they cute? They’re also smaller than the ones from the Holy Kingdom.]

Kisun was surprised to see a Korean stray cat.

“Don’t underestimate them just because they’re small. They may be small in size, but their athletic ability is similar to ours.”

It had fierce athletic ability compared to its small size, which made it even more dangerous.

“I sent the data to the Korean government, what did they say?”

[They say that individuals who refuse AI treatment should be killed.]

It was inevitable. It could spread parasites, and there was no way to know when a virus that was only fatal to felines might mutate and spread to humans.

It was not a situation where we could just leave the feral cats to live in the green belt and forests like before, because as their numbers increased, they would inevitably come into contact with humans again.

“Let’s do that. What happened to the northern part of Gangwon-do?”

[The Korean army has finished. Our units have gathered in Wonju.]

“What about PD uncle?”

[That old man is like a fish in water. Strangely, I heard that Japanese people treat him well.]

“Really? Did you ask when he’d be back?”

[Since it took time, you said you would definitely establish the framework? Ah- right. I wondered if my faith had grown.]

It seemed like he expected that many Japanese people would come in with their faith, but it wasn’t as much as the PD had expected.

[That’s strange. In Chuncheon and Wonju combined, there are 2 million Japanese people who believe in you. Did you get a new identity?]

“It did come in. When it first came in, it was like, you could say it was thick? But after that, it was just like that.”

[Ah- Is that so?]

“what?”

[There is a saying that Japanese people are both non-religious and believers in everything.]

“What are you talking about?”

[There is a story that Japanese people seek blessings at a Shinto shrine (Shinto) when they are young, get married at a church (Cathedral – Christianity), and end their lives at a temple (Buddhism). If you think that your faith in you is interfering with that, then it could be true.]

“It was quite strong at first.”

[It must have been strong at first because it was desperate, but it became like that after it settled down steadily. PD Ajae said that the missionary work went well and he was looking forward to it. I would be disappointed if he said that the concentration of faith(?) was weak.]

“Okay. Just tell him to do it in moderation.”

The northern part of Gangwon-do was reorganized, and a space was opened up that connects Gapyeong to the eastern part of Gyeonggi-do.

[The northern part of Gangwon-do has been sieged, and the stray dogs and cats in the metropolitan area have been cleared out, so now it’s southern Gangwon-do?]

“How many troops have awakened their abilities?”

[About 30 thousand.]

“still?”

[At first I felt like my life was in danger, but lately I don’t feel it as much, so maybe that’s why.]

“It’s difficult···.”

Artificial intelligence Diana has submitted an emergency report.

[We have received a report from Thailand. It is said that those who believe in white elephants are sacrificing human bodies.]
