EP.393 East China Company Project (2)

Unlike the shelters that were well-managed, the Shandong port was a ghost town.

No matter what structure you see, none of it looks well-formed.

The hideous cracks in the concrete and the protruding rebar were rusted and weathered by the sea breeze.

The first reconnaissance drones to arrive discovered torn-up vehicles, fallen trees, and buildings completely charred.

“It’s nuclear.”

Artemis said.

Unlike normal combat, this is a unique trace that occurs in a nuclear explosion.

“Is he stronger than the one I’ve experienced?”

“Of course. The powerful ones must have been used to strike the nuclear belt in eastern China.”

“Who shot that?”

“There are more than one or two candidates. Russia, India, Pakistan, and even North Korea. All the nuclear powers that border us have been hit with nuclear weapons by China.”

“That’s true too.”

Countless sunken ships have been caught in the sonar. It is the largest shipwreck ever discovered.

Even if you roughly count them, there are hundreds of them, and they are all different sizes, and there are civilian fishing boats and warships mixed in.

Hundreds of densely packed steel reefs were installed, twisting the patrol ships’ paths here and there.

Among them, large cruise ships can also be seen.

“It was on my bucket list to ride something like that.”

“If you want, I can make you one.”

Artemis looks at me with playful eyes.

“This isn’t a situation where I have to ask my mom to buy me toys. What I need now is cargo ships and warships, not things like that.”

It’s heartbreaking to see how much resources go into building a large ship, as seen in the production plan report.

It was incomparable to things like Purifiers or combat helicopters.

“It would be nice if we could salvage at least one intact ship.”

“I guess you shouldn’t expect much. Even a normal car becomes unusable after six years of neglect. Let alone a cargo ship.”

Artemis, the realist, poured cold water on my expectations.

An underwater video taken by an underwater drone popped up on the screen.

There are countless wrecked ships, all tangled together.

“It’s a jungle made of iron. You could call it a jungle gym.”

Even Artemis was amazed by the sight that could be called grotesque art depending on how you look at it.

But there’s something more bothering me than my stomach.

“Are they refugees?”

Beneath the steel jungle lies a staggering number of skeletons. Thousands, if not tens of thousands, of skulls float in the currents.

There are also a lot of things that appear to belong to dogs, pigs, and other land animals.

“Are you confused?”

Artemis stroked my head, as if reading my physiological responses.

“You can’t possibly feel good looking at this.”

“During the war, you were cursing China so much, right? Just now you were laughing and saying you would use your resources well.”

“Because they’ve done a lot of evil. They even launched a nuclear bomb at our country. But even so…”

Among the remains, there were many that clearly appeared to be those of children or newborns.

“It’s disheartening to see so many deaths. The children are innocent.”

The remains of a mother and baby, tied in a rotting swaddle and a buggy covered in barnacles, are easy to find wherever you look.

During the epidemic war, China concentrated all its power on the major cities along the eastern coast. The west and central regions were completely abandoned.

With trade at a standstill, people abandoned agricultural areas and flocked to commercial cities, which immediately led to a food problem.

They mobilized all the ships they had urgently conscripted and began to devour the sea as if they were fishing for fish.

However, China has already lost its fishery resources due to pollution and overfishing.

Then, they boldly entered the territorial waters of Korea, Taiwan, Japan, and East Asian countries and swept away all the fish with double-drawing nets.

Naturally, protests were made in each country, but China remained silent.

Hundreds of fishing boats formed a line and swept across the sea like a cavalry charge, surrounded by Chinese warships.

It was a common occurrence for ships to sink after being shelled by the Coast Guard while trying to stop them.

“Even the large ships are full of remains.”

Underwater drones have checked the interiors of several cruise ships, cargo ships, and military transport ships, where they also find huge piles of remains.

Among them, there are quite a few who are wearing military uniforms or suits.

“Are these ships trying to escape to Taiwan?”

“Wouldn’t it be? Anywhere would be safer than mainland China. But it looks like the escape was a failure. Judging by the way everything sank.”

“Then we should include the Chinese military among the suspects who fired the nuclear weapons.”

“The high ranking officials ran away to save themselves, so the soldiers who were not interested must have shot them?”

“That was the most common reason for fracking during the Infection War.”

For reference, Taiwan has just entered into an all-out war with China.

In the first place, it was a weight class that was not fit for fighting, and it was completely destroyed when it was hit with a nuclear missile by China, which did not care about its international image.

Still, they managed to destroy the Three Gorges Dam as a last resort. Could this be a typical cross-strait war scenario?

The difference is that the Chinese government actually welcomed the bombing of the Three Gorges Dam.

Most of the cities that were hit hard by the floods caused by the dam’s destruction were already swallowed up by the infection or were on the verge of being swallowed.

The Chinese government has to wipe out the infected, deal with the refugees who are difficult to rescue, and even find a pretext to invade Taiwan.

It would have been 3 birds with one stone.

[The port is severely damaged. There is also interference from sunken ships, making it difficult to approach any further.]

The stalker infiltration unit waiting on the patrol ship has reported.

The area around the harbor was filled with sunken ships.

An upside-down fishing boat was also found resting on the roof of the port management building.

Hundreds of tiny wooden boats, similar to canoes, are washed up on the shore, forming a breakwater.

This is absolutely not a condition that can accommodate our ship.

“stop.”

At my command, the patrol ship stopped advancing.

The distance between the warning ship displayed on the screen and the land is about 110m.

“Anchor here. Land the troops as is.”

[Roger.]

The heavily armed stalkers lined up on the deck jumped onto the patrol ship.

No landing boats required.

Stalkers jumped into the sea, jumping anywhere from a few meters to as much as 10 meters in a single jump.

Here and there, we step on the parts of the sunken ship that jut out above the sea level like stepping stones.

Kooky!

A stalker sank to the bottom of the sea.

The stepping stone broke because it was stepped on in a place that had become weakened by rust and weathering over a long period of time.

The machine doesn’t float on water, but it doesn’t need to breathe either.

The sunken stalkers roamed the steel jungle beneath the sea like Tarzan.

Startled by the high-speed movements of the strange intruders, octopuses and crustaceans crawled out of the sunken ship and skull and hid under the soil.

Perhaps because overfishing has ended and there is an abundance of land-based fish, the sea life is so abundant that it is hard to believe that this is the coast of China.

[Landing.]

The foremost stalker has set foot on the port. He is the first guest to visit the ghost town in six years.

* * *

The ruined harbor was quiet.

A fisherman’s arm bone was sticking out of an overturned wooden boat on the beach.

Likewise, fish bones and rotten, worn-out nets are strewn about messily.

Countless refugees come in, leave, catch fish, receive supplies, send them away…

The chaos that followed a nuclear explosion in that chaotic situation.

[Enemy detected.]

A slave dock loiters in a half-open warehouse in the harbor management building.

He appears to have suffered from the effects of the nuclear blast, as he has large and small burn scars all over his body.

The guy nodded and found me.

[Grrr-…]

This is a typical reaction dogs show when they encounter a strange guest.

“Remove it”

Phew!

Before it could bark, ‘Wall!’ a bullet fired through a foam silencer flew past and blew off the bastard’s head.

But there wasn’t just one.

Monsters in the shape of beasts appeared here and there, as if they had detected an intruder.

Most of them are dogs, some are pigs, and there are also several unidentified objects.

“They were definitely transporting livestock wherever they could find them.”

I thought of the remains of animals that had sunk into the sea.

[Kyaarrrr-.]

[Grrrr!]

Although some people were fine, many were unable to completely escape the effects of the nuclear blast and radiation.

In particular, there are individuals who have gone blind because their eyes have melted away. Could it be that their ears have become more sensitive in return for being blind?

He pricked up his ears and looked straight at the landing party.

The fire control system input into the stalker instructed it to kill those guys first.

All around, the sound of skin cracking and skulls breaking can be heard, and infected beasts fall to the ground with a crash.

The remaining ones are also drawn to that sound, the last words, and the smell of blood.

Even in the dark windows of the port building, a human figure could be seen moving about.

[Scatter.]

A normal combat unit would stick together in this type of engagement and seek cover and hiding places.

But the Stalker Unit follows a completely different doctrine.

The power was scattered in all directions, east, west, south, and north, enough to warrant the sound effect of ‘Pop!’

The stalker, having killed the three slave dogs that had rushed at him, ran to a nearby streetlight.

I reached the middle of the streetlight with one jump, and with a few arm movements, I was at the top in no time.

[Boom! Boom! Kyarrur-!]

Slave dogs that used to chase chickens but now chase roofs.

A black muzzle greets the eyes of those who look up at the streetlight and bark.

puck!

Phew!

One by one, they fell down, hitting their heads on the ground.

There are also stalkers who run like mounted archers doing partisan shots and shoot backwards.

Certainly, China was an area where the power of the infectious agent was bound to be strong, given the nature of the vaccine distribution that was left to the air current.

It’s fortunate that the nuclear weapons have been purified at least once.

Boooow!

Reconnaissance drones equipped with scanners pass by.

This operation is a search and rescue mission, not a annihilation operation.

A warehouse loaded with useful supplies, a place to put ships, operational Chinese ships or vehicles, pre-war Chinese weapons, and any possible colonies of infected organisms.

The goal was to find anything that could be useful in the future development of East China.

While drones scanned the ground from the sky, stalkers cleared out the infected and headed inside buildings where drones had difficulty searching.

To find records or other useful information about the movement of men and supplies before the war.

After the stalkers disappeared into the dark building, there was a lot of noise of things breaking and snapping.

The status of our troops remained the same, but the kill count skyrocketed.

For us, who have already been through all kinds of hardships, this may not be such a difficult task.

I took my eyes off the smoothly progressing operation screen and read the reports arriving on my PDA.

As we expanded into the West Sea and South Sea in earnest, we were able to clearly see what had been happening in Southeast Asia, Australia, Europe, and other parts of the world since the outbreak of the war.

Each and every one of those six years of history is fascinating.
