Chapter 562 – Colony Planning

@@

There was an uproar in the World Federation across the globe.
This is because a huge number of spies operating in the World Federation were discovered.

From the very top to the bottom, what they were doing in secret, regardless of years of service, was to make the religion called ‘Salvation Shinrikyo’ the world’s representative religion.

A competent agent noticed what they were doing, but it was too late.
The spies cleverly disguised various official documents and materials to prevent the Salvation Truth Church from being revealed, and now the entire world was already under the reach of the Salvation Truth Church.

Agents who realized the seriousness of the situation launched a large-scale arrest operation and clashed with spies, but the result was a crushing defeat.
Made up of all women, they were immune to bullets and cold weapons, and completely engulfed the World Federation in each country by capturing and killing all of the World Federation’s agents conducting secret operations.

After purging the opposition, the new World Union’s job was to take control of the country.
With the support of his cult leader, a savior and god, he accompanied the monsters and made it his top priority to capture the heads of the nation.

Although most countries were helpless in the sudden attack, there were some countries that fought back.
However, the technological capabilities of humans were not enough to withstand the high-level monsters, and enormous damage occurred all over the world.

“Where is the Beast Slayer!”

The president of an advanced country tried to say something like that, but the answer he got back was the acidic saliva of a monster.
The Beast Slayer did not respond to the earnest wishes of the people of the world, and thus all countries around the world fell into the hands of the World Federation in just four days.

And that scene was clearly watched by David Herschel, the only male in the current headquarters.

“Why… Why don’t you kill me…?”

Herschel’s helpless question as he witnessed the Earth being destroyed in real time.
The agent who was his assistant answered.

“Because I need you.”

“I…?”

“Yes. Originally, you were going to die for me, but the religious leader changed his mind. He wants you to become the leader of a new nation.”

“… What kind of nonsense… Do you think I will obey?”

“Think of your wife and daughter.”

Hershel’s eyes widened at that.

“Ah, are your wife and daughter okay…? Already…”

“He’s not dead. It’s not like I have any self-awareness as a religious person. “Strictly speaking, I almost became a cultist, but my master showed me mercy.”

“…”

“If you don’t want to see your wife and daughter, I will kill you right here and now. Of course, there is absolutely no damage on our side. The Earth already belongs to the cult leader. “There are still some women left who have not joined our congregation, but they will all be absorbed soon.”

“…”

“It’s a situation where even if you die, you can’t even harm us, but don’t you want to end the rest of your life on a good note while looking at your wife and daughter? “They said they would really like to see you.”

“Ugh…”

The bond called family cannot be easily broken.
It could not be said that what the secretary said was a lie.
There is no reason to say something like that when you can easily kill yourself.
Hershel’s heart broke in an instant when he learned that fact.

“What should I… Do…? “As the leader of a country… What do you want?”

“After we clear up the chaos on Earth, we will flock men from all over the world to China and Russia. “You just have to lead them and live.”

“To live…?”

“Yes. Create a society and spend the rest of your life being self-sufficient. However, your top priority is to produce food to feed the cult leader’s monsters.”

“Do you mean to create a colony…?”

“Yes. Grade A or higher monsters will be deployed there to prevent your country’s citizens from revolting. Some items needed for basic food, clothing, and shelter are provided, but modern science and technology cannot be used. “In the first place, the two countries have been cleaned so that they can live only with simple human labor, so they cannot use it even if they want to.”

“Well, I see…”

“Reproductive activities to leave behind genes are also prohibited. “It’s impossible because there are no women in the first place.”

At those words, Hershel’s face became filled with bewilderment.

“Then the period of self-sufficiency would be 50 years at most…? The simple numbers are like this, but it could end before that. Maybe it won’t even last 10 years. “Because the people have no motivation at all.”

“Does not matter. When the population declines to the point where the country cannot be sustained, then you can retire and spend time with your family. Anyway, even if it’s not you, we Christians living on Earth can produce food, and the same goes for population growth. “When you die, the cultists or the cult leader’s children from their wombs will take your place.”

“Does that make sense…?”

“According to common sense, it doesn’t make sense. But even now, more than 500,000 new children are being born every day. They are all the sect leader’s blood relatives, and they grow very quickly. “Of course, he is much stronger than humans.”

“… It’s hell.”

“Not to you. Because I can see my wife and daughter. This is a privilege reserved only for you and a very small group of very capable humans. So, do you agree?”

Hershel himself had no choice.
The Earth has already been completely destroyed. The entire world has been taken over by Tyrat, and there are no more Beast Slayers.
A planet exclusively for Tyrat was born.

Despite this situation, they were showing mercy and giving themselves one last chance.
You can spend the rest of your life comfortably with your family.
The temptation here was so strong that Herschel had no choice but to agree.

But before that, there was something you needed to know.
It was the family’s residence.
If the family had a residence in the colony, they could be attacked by the colonial people who could not satisfy their needs.

Herschel wanted to prevent that.
It was natural. Because taking care of one’s family is the highest priority for humans.

“I have something important to ask you.”

“Please speak.”

“Where will my family live…?”

“We created a separate island close to the colony. I get to live there. Oh, and regarding this island… If you accept this offer, I will give you a selection.”

“Right to select…?”

“It is a selection right that allows you to select competent people who listen well. The number is 1,000, excluding the families of the selected people. Let us lead the country together with them.”

So to speak, it would be like a noble council that runs the country.
Made up entirely of men.
After thinking that, Hershel asked helplessly.

“What is the story related to the island?”

“The selected people can leave behind descendants. It is also allowed to form a society. At the same time, everything you need will be provided.”

“Everything you need…?”

“You can study and engage in cultural activities. We can use what remains of humanity’s legacy. There may be some mild restrictions. Even so, it is a privilege. However, the maximum population of the selected society is limited to 20,000 people. If you go any further than that, you will become prey to monsters.”

It’s great to leave behind descendants and leave lasting traces of humanity, but is it possible to do cultural activities even if you start with studying?
Then the rest of my life wasn’t that bad.

Looking at the specific number of 20,000 people, it seems like they are planning to turn their descendants into slaves who will provide their skills in preparation for the unexpected… It is none of their business.
The descendants will live a peaceful life without being conscious of it.

We create a society where humans are not monsters.
And he spends the rest of his life with his non-Kyot family.
I don’t think there are any conditions as good as this at the moment.

“… I agree.”

“Well thought out.”

“When do you do the screening?”

“I will take you to a place where there is information about every man living on Earth. “Make sure you hire all the talent you want within one month.”

“Are there any restrictions?”

“Doesn’t exist.”

“Okay. And lastly… May I ask why you are favoring the selection staff?”

“Let’s just say it’s for the master’s entertainment.”

“Sideshow…? “Is it just for that reason?”

“That’s why you’re privileged. “Let’s go now.”

What kind of guy Tyrat is, he doesn’t know exactly.
However, I know one thing for sure.
That he is a guy with extremely bad taste.
Even so, there was nothing he could do, so Hershel decided to just accept.

“… I understand.”

Hershel’s head rolled quickly as he followed the secretary.
The purpose was not to establish a plan for a counterattack, but to understand the elements of national operation in the current situation.

“You said the number of people to be screened was 1,000, excluding her family, right? “Is there any limit to the number of her family members?”

“No.”

Currently, an important factor in running a colony is motivation.
I think that the thing that can fulfill that motivation the most is family.
So, I think it would be better to choose people who have a strong love for family.

‘I’m going to turn away.’

I guess he was just a selfish person. He was told that he could live safely with his family, so he reluctantly agreed to the colony proposal.
But what should I do? The temptation before my eyes is so sweet, and there is no bright light in the future.
Anyone will make the same choice as you.
