Eh? You want to try the humanoid girl's iron fist too?

It seems that because they spend most of their time at home providing remote support, the activity level of the host body has been significantly reduced.

"Raphael, how are you feeling?" Asuka asked casually.

"We can still hold on."

Raphael ignored the warnings; she had already explored the limits of this body five years ago.

If I were to return to a state like last time, where I needed assistance to walk, I could only maintain my current lifestyle for a long time.

"Oh?"

"Yes, that's right, no problem."

On that day, representatives from North and South Korea issued a joint statement at the United Nations General Assembly, agreeing to set aside their differences and work together to overcome the difficulties.

But then some oblivious news outlets jumped out and accused both sides of abandoning residents who failed to get into shelters in time.

For example, there are the refugees who are forced to stay in the Seoul subway tunnels. They need to "rest" in the subway tunnels for 72 hours before they can take turns to sunbathe in one of the enclosed stations with glass walls.

Most of the time, these refugees can only sleep in their assigned spots.

Inside the subway refuge area, both entertainment and sports activities were extremely scarce. Food was an even more pressing crisis.

In past UN relief operations, such depressing environments have typically led most people into despair and triggered mass movements.

But in the Seoul subway shelters, people simply waited quietly in their seats, taking turns sharing the limited number of books, magazines, or other devices that didn't require electricity.

On March 22, the Relics Agency announced the establishment of the Seoul Safety Zone, aimed at accommodating more South Korean refugees.

Meanwhile, after negotiations with North Korea’s Dolon, the Relics Management Office dispatched a team of 52 people to the area to open a safe passage to North Korea and transfer survivors to a relatively low-pollution area in the northern part of the peninsula.

Based on estimates, if the current containment rate can be maintained, the containment work can be completed within two months.

But problems soon erupted when South Korean survivors in the underground complex within North Korea staged their first protest against the acceptance of outside survivors.

Although no clashes with police occurred during the entire march, the gradually rising public opinion cast a shadow over our actions.

As many onlookers feared, the survivors, already living in dire straits, protested when they saw their rations being further reduced and distributed to refugees who could potentially become infected with ELID. The earliest survivors to arrive did so.

At 3:10 PM on the 24th, a time that those struggling to survive on the Korean Peninsula will likely never forget.

A notice issued in the name of the South Korean government was sent from the temporary government headquarters in Sariwon, North Hwanghae Province, and a colonel from the 8th Army Station in South Korea arrived at the Joint Relics Agency's operations headquarters in Panmunjom by transport plane.

The notice contained only one brief sentence: "The intake of survivors is temporarily suspended."

This means that all the remaining survivors south of the 38th parallel were abandoned.

First

Volume 1: The World Before the Great War: Chapter 157 The Base Accident

The headquarters of the United Nations Office for the Preservation of Monuments and Sites in New York received a joint notification from the Korean Peninsula. Staff members remaining at the 38th parallel boarded trucks in an orderly manner under the escort of the eighth U.S. military in South Korea and boarded V-22 Osprey transport aircraft to the amphibious assault ship "Tripoli" which was sailing hundreds of kilometers away.

They will board a transport plane there and head to the USS Ronald Reagan aircraft carrier.

During this period, the USS Ronald Reagan became the second aircraft carrier, after the USS Forrestal, to land a C-130 Hercules transport aircraft on its deck and take off with crew without booster after many years.

However, only a portion of the staff accepted the evacuation. Many of them were dissatisfied with the constant interference from the United States and chose to stay on the 38th parallel to maintain the refugee lifeline connecting the North and South.

But at 7 a.m. on April Fool's Day, after the last transport plane carrying UN staff took off, the airspace over the Korean Peninsula was declared completely closed.

Subsequently, the 4th embassy in South Korea, relying on protective suits and anti-radiation drugs, forcibly entered Pyeongjin Port, completed the boarding work on April 3, and successfully set sail for evacuation.

At this point, all military and political forces on the peninsula had withdrawn.

The scene immediately descended into chaos. The UN World Heritage Management Agency, which had voluntarily stayed near the 38th parallel, brutally murdered them at noon that day, and none of them escaped.

The videos of their execution and dismemberment went viral on several social networking sites and video websites. Around 11 p.m., the peninsula's remaining internet network, which relied on terrestrial lines, was completely cut off.

The next day, when the survivors, walking along the winding and rugged road, saw the sunlight again, they were greeted by facilities that were no longer functioning and offices stained with blood.

People who were slow to realize this tried every means to contact the outside world, only to find that all means of communication had failed.

After learning from longwave radio that the two governments had made a joint decision and that the heritage management agency had withdrawn, their feelings of abandonment quickly escalated into anger and mutual hostility.

What kind of brutal fighting broke out among the survivors after that was completely unknown to those living in the safe world outside.

Because the survivors who have not yet been able to enter the underground shelters of North Korea or leave the peninsula are "dead" in both concept and fact.

Does anyone care about what happens to a dead person after they're buried? Obviously not.

Aside from reckless tomb raiders, even the most daring petty thief wouldn't attempt to plunder a corpse in that kind of environment.

Because that would be suicide.

……

On the same day, at Kadena Air Base.

"boom--!"

"What's going on?!"

The sudden gunshot jolted Lingyin, who had been feigning sleep, out of bed. She roughly put on her coat, grabbed her HK416 from beside the bed, and rushed out the door.

"What's going on? Why are there gunshots in the camp?!"

She wasn't the only one who reacted this way; everyone else in the officers' quarters did too.

"Where are you firing? Hey..."

Many people were still fastening their belts when they saw a petite girl rush out of her dormitory room carrying a gun and kick over the table next to the dormitory building door.

Then he shouted at them sternly: "Keep calm. This is a high-altitude military base. Even if a riot breaks out, it can be brought under control quickly."

"……Who are you?"

Being suddenly reprimanded, many people showed unnatural expressions, especially when lectured by a young girl of unknown origin; it was quite normal to lose face.

"Electronic countermeasures officer, lieutenant, of the USS Cape St. George cruiser, Third Fleet."

As Lingyin said this, an unnatural blush rose to her cheeks; impersonating someone else wasn't a good idea.

Some people said "the navy people," and the resentment was very obvious.

However, these guys hadn't been brainwashed by the combination of fighter jets and pure oxygen. They hurriedly changed into training uniforms that allowed for easy movement, and then took out stockpiled M16 rifles from the underground armory.

This batch of military equipment should have been scrapped, but in the end, only the parts were replaced and it was upgraded to the A4 model for use as basic combat training for air force officers and soldiers.

Not everyone can be an eagle soaring in the blue sky; most people need to be down-to-earth and do airport security and ground support work.

The panic quickly subsided, and those with higher ranks took control of the situation. The pilots all returned to their rooms and found their issued pistols for backup.

Although everyone knew that the pilot was unlikely to have the opportunity to use the self-defense pistol, they still dug it out from deep inside the cabinet and placed it in the most convenient spot.

The ground crew officers and the officers guarding the airport were much more efficient. They took a headcount, clarified the chain of command, reorganized and redistributed manpower, and established a defensive line using the officers' quarters.

Lingyin was quickly replaced by a more "organized" squad of officers who took over the defense of the dormitory's main entrance.

Each of the back and side doors was staffed by a small team, with three other teams on standby. The rest of the staff entered the dormitory rooms as planned to monitor the surrounding area.

Those not assigned tasks continued to rest, providing support when necessary or undertaking logistical work, such as taking stock of food, water, and remaining supplies in the armory, and using existing equipment to establish contact with the base command center.

Before long, the sound of Lao Gan Ma's M2HB heavy machine gun rang out.

Lingyin returned to her dormitory and watched Raphael and Asuka, who had completely entered a deep mental dormancy, for a while. She felt that she could no longer stay in this place.

This should be the first time the mainframe has entered the lower levels of the mind to hibernate. She guessed that this might be the result of maintaining the long-term operation of the two puppets; the finished mind core, directly reverse-engineered from the relic core, was actually able to achieve this.

Just thinking about it is terrifying.

Lingyin immediately thought the opposite: if she only had basic self-discipline, and all the modules that maintained her personality and emotions were removed, leaving only her memory and basic self-discipline, then the core that she carried as a puppet figure seemed to be able to operate smoothly.

Should she give it a try? She thought about it and decided against it. It wasn't safe yet; she needed to keep an eye on the mainframes "Raphael" and "Flying Bird." Their hibernation process to organize redundant data required time and security measures.

If only we were human, we could feel refreshed after a good night's sleep.

However, the human body is too fragile; a fall can result in a fracture, a light stab with a knife can be fatal, and it cannot withstand nuclear radiation or collapse radiation...

Fei Niao sat by the window, scanning the lawn to the left of the dormitory building.

No one will come here anyway; this officers' quarters is worthless.

boom!

Fire broke out from the right flank of the dormitory. Lingyin immediately perked up; as it turned out, taking chances only led to misfortune.

"What's going on?" she shouted at the top of her lungs.

“We received the families who fled from the disaster area and settled them in the family quarters.”

"what?!"

Volume 1: The World Before the Great War: Chapter 158 Not Wanting to Be a Pawn

Lingyin didn't bother to argue about the double standards regarding containment, because it couldn't be simply explained by orders.

Humans are selfish, even the usually indifferent host "Raphael" has selfish desires, otherwise it wouldn't have sent a message to its human friends at the moment Nobuo-yama ascended to heaven, nor would it have processed the entry permits for her and her family for the country to the north before hibernating to organize data.

Applying this to those serving at Kadena Air Base, this behavior is...

They chose to accept family members from Kyushu, Japan.

However, Takimoto Yuzuki passed away in time, while his family members missed the critical period due to delayed information.

The sudden and intense battle lasted for 14 minutes. At 15:22 in the afternoon, Suzune, posing as Raphael, connected to the satellite network of the Research Bureau headquarters and submitted a report on the battle that took place at the air force base.

There was no feedback; the system indicated that the transmission was complete. However, the other side seemed determined to keep them on the ground, standing with the U.S. Air Force at Kadena Air Base.

That's really unreliable, or rather, incredibly arrogant. Lingyin thought to herself that the research bureau's arrogant attitude could cause them trouble at any time.

This wasn't the first time she'd had this thought.

What should she do? Lingyin was filled with conflicting emotions. She didn't know when the new mind technology would be successful, nor did she know when androids would be fully available to the civilian market.

As long as these two conditions are not met, they will not be able to escape the control of the research bureau.

They may appear free now, but the invisible hinges around their necks are already taut. There's no real concern that they might choose to defect.

This means that, wherever he is, Raphael can only regard armed personnel who are hostile to him as evil.

She never hesitates to eliminate her targets whenever the opportunity arises. She views her targets as villains and believes that eliminating them is the right thing to do.

She suddenly felt a sense of disgust and didn't want to pick up the HK416 rifle that she had become so familiar with.

The more she hated war, the longer she wished for the peaceful life she had in Kyoto to last, ideally allowing them to continue living there forever.

Ideally, she could enroll as Raphael's twin sister and experience the school years of ordinary people together.
