Ark Chess Player

It's obvious that this person isn't on Rhodes Island, or at least not on Rhodes Island's frontline operator roster, otherwise Lin Lu wouldn't be unaware of him.

With no other option, Lin Lu had to put this matter aside for the time being. His priority now was to defeat the two-story-tall monster and find out what had happened to the survivors. When he awoke, he hadn't realized that Chernobog had such a twisted monster; otherwise, given his condition at the time, leading the rescue team to a safe evacuation from the city would have been virtually impossible.

If the Reunion Movement was responsible for these monsters, then the danger level he perceived the Reunion Movement to be so high that it had to be destroyed.

They must not be allowed to stay.

But... we'll talk about those things later.

"He has little experience, but unlimited potential."

Lin Lu narrowed his eyes slightly; this was his most objective assessment of the operator Angelina.

Gentle, yet powerful.

"Angelina, lend me a hand."

Lin Lu held the secret staff, and light red flames, like fire spirits, swirled around his body, their radiance flickering.

To prevent the slime monster from giving up and scattering explosive slime everywhere when it can't find any enemies, he must take the initiative and nip the dangerous flame in the bud.

As the real matter rose steadily, Lin Lu raised his left arm, and his left hand, wrapped in a black glove, reflected a different kind of light, with the mark on the back of his hand heating up.

"Annihilate our enemy."

"Don't sleep, if you fall asleep here you won't wake up."

Sonia held Rada, who was covered in blood, and tried to imitate her by tearing her own clothes into strips to stop the girl's bleeding, but her clothes were stained with the monster's blood and were unusable. Even if her clothes were clean, Rada's body was covered in wounds, leaving Sonia helpless.

"It's alright... Sister Sonia."

The blonde girl wore a smile, even though her whole body ached and not a single part was intact; she still grinned foolishly.

"I'll just sleep for a bit... just for a bit... phew..."

"Don't sleep, don't sleep! Wake up! Anna, Anna, what should we do?"

Sonia turned to look at the other girl; it was the first time she had ever felt so helpless and powerless.

Even when trapped in an enemy ambush, Sonia could unleash a fearless roar, mercilessly cutting down those who sought her life. But now, even if her hands could slay more enemies, they couldn't save the life of the girl in her arms.

"Sonia."

Anna's gaze swept past Sonia and landed behind her, her right hand pressed tightly on the red cover of the book, her face full of vigilance.

Sonia then noticed the sound of an engine starting in the distance. Turning her head, she saw a uniquely designed heavy motorcycle slowly approaching.

What's frightening is that there was no one in the car; it was like a ghost car.

On this night filled with bloodshed and slaughter, in this city teeming with death, it was as if messengers from hell were extending an invitation to them.

The group of village girls hadn't yet grasped how times had changed, and they all stared warily at the black and gold heavy motorcycle.

Suddenly, the heavy motorcycle stopped halfway.

The two people and the car stared at each other, as if time had stood still.

“啊拉啊拉……”

Anemone, sitting on Noah's motorcycle, fell into deep thought. She scratched her head, somewhat troubled, unsure of what to do.

After all, she's just an artificial intelligence; she has no physical body and it's impossible for her to throw the first aid spray over.

The reason I put my hand on the throttle earlier was purely for the feeling. It was for a sense of ritual, to give this spontaneous rescue operation a soul. In reality, she directly controls the Noah motorcycle through data; otherwise, she wouldn't be able to control it so freely, achieving perfect harmony between rider and machine. The doctor's riding experience is essentially riding her level of mastery.

Noah's Heavy Machinery wasn't equipped with an intelligent voice system either, otherwise she could have used her silly antics to make these kids mentally challenged... no, she could have used the superb rhetoric she learned from the doctor to persuade them with reason, making these little brats submit to her maid's skirt.

After pondering for a full thirty seconds, Anemone suddenly realized that although she didn't have hands... oops, although she couldn't touch physical matter, she had the authority of Noah's Heavy Machinery!

Five sets of Originium incendiary bombs can slaughter a squad of monsters, four built-in core engines can climb to the top of the city wall, three acceleration chips can overcome spatial obstacles, two wheels can crush enemies into blood and gore, and one doctor can suppress a natural disaster. Noah Heavy Machinery is an extension of her hands!

You could tell he was Old Ursus the moment he opened his mouth.

Anemone lifted the Noah motorcycle and skillfully spun it on the spot, causing the emergency spray hanging on the front of the vehicle to loosen.

As soon as Sonia and Anna saw the drone vehicle start spinning, a warning signal like a VAC alert immediately sounded, and they both became alert. Sonia put her left arm around Rada's shoulder and gripped her short axe in her right hand. If the vehicle dared to charge straight at her, she would definitely charge straight at it and smash that eyesore to pieces.

But the motorcycle just kept spinning in place, without making any aggressive moves. The sound of its wheels rubbing against the ground was extremely grating, making it unclear what its intentions were.

Until an object was flung out by a heavy motorcycle, the only light source in the dimly lit factory was the burning flames from the hole in the side of the wall, making it impossible to tell what it was for a moment.

With nothing but recklessness on her mind, Sonia immediately stood up, twisted her wrist, and shattered whatever was coming at her!

She will never allow anyone to hurt her partner again!

Anna squinted, and upon seeing the markings on the projectile, she quickly shouted, "Sonia, stop! Those are medical supplies!"

Unfortunately, it was too late when Anna realized what was happening.

The straightforward Sonia had already raised her short axe, anticipating the trajectory of the thrown object as she attacked.

"Clang—!!"

Sonia's short axe made an incredibly heavy, dull sound, as if it had struck a piece of iron.

"Tsk!"

The girl fell backward due to the reaction force, feeling a sharp pain in her hand and a tingling numbness in her arm, almost causing her to lose her grip on the weapon.

What the hell is this?!

Clearly, even the field first-aid spray produced by Rhine Labs couldn't possibly possess such robust defensive capabilities. Otherwise, Rhine Labs might as well transform its business; perhaps it could even compete with Raytheon Industries for market share and carve out a niche in the massive industrial manufacturing sector.

What strikes iron is naturally iron.

The black katana blocked Sonia's slash, and the wielder didn't even flinch. The first-aid spray, thrown by Anemone piloting Noah's motorcycle, survived, escaping being cut in half, and ended up in the hands of a man who was 1.9 meters tall.

"You are... an infected person!?"

Sonia looked up at the man who had appeared out of nowhere, and immediately revealed her hostility.

The Sarkaz man with the unicorn horn had quite obvious traces of Originium erosion on his arms, face, and neck.

Chapter 107 Yan Ke

Yan Ke curiously examined the three bear cubs in front of him, as well as the heavy motorcycle that looked extremely panicked and started spinning in place.

He slayed mutated monsters along the way, using them as whetstones to hone his swordsmanship. He also managed to evade pursuit from his former comrades... or rather, his fellow travelers.

After feeling a long-lost sense of oppression, Yan Ke decisively came to the vicinity to search for a higher-quality whetstone, as ordinary monsters could no longer satisfy him.

When Yan Ke heard the familiar sound of a grenade exploding, he quickened his pace and caught up quickly.

"I thought it was that woman... but it seems it wasn't."

Yan Ke tossed the first aid spray in his hand, not expecting that he was still a step too late and had missed the best opportunity.

"Little girl."

Yan Ke's gaze first fell on the battered blonde girl, then on the girl with frizzy brown highlighted hair, and he waved the first aid spray in his hand.

"Do you know you almost killed your friend just now?"

"……What did you say!?"

Sonia's temper flared up, but Anna held her arm, preventing her from rushing forward.

"Don't stop me!"

"Calm down, Sonia."

Anna shook her head. As the calmest person in the team, she knew the current situation.

Perhaps even if they were all combined, they couldn't defeat this battle-hardened Sarkaz before them.

The Sarkaz are so feared because of their innate physical strength and high adaptability to Originium, making almost every Sarkaz adept at Originium Arts. Furthermore, their physical strength far surpasses that of other races; even the valiant Ursus cannot match them.

In a head-on confrontation, one Sarkaz warrior could easily crush three Ursus soldiers.

Anna tried to negotiate, saying, "Sir, could you please give us the medical supplies?"

“Anna! There’s no need to be subservient to them! It’s because of them that we—”

“Sonia, don’t let anger cloud your vision. Look closely, not every Oripathy patient is part of Reunion,” Anna sighed.

Before the Chernobog incident, for her and for them, the main idea about infected people came from layers of indoctrination by adults.

The infected are evil.

Those infected deserve to die.

Those who are infected are guilty.

The infected will spread the disease throughout Terra, and they will kill everyone.

In Chernobog, it seemed every school told its students the same thing. It seemed every street had someone spreading the same message, and every square had someone holding up signs that read "Expel the Infected!" and marching in protest. Everyone naturally ostracized the infected, even though they were just sick and hadn't done anything wrong. But when the military and police beat the infected black and blue, pinned them down, knocked out their teeth, handcuffed them, and dragged them behind vehicles… everyone smiled, laughed, and watched the infected suffer violence.

"All the passengers on this train are murderers."

Anna understood this sooner than anyone else, and she knew it better than anyone else.

Yan Ke glanced at the girl with a hint of appreciation and smiled, "Even if I gave it to you, you wouldn't know how to use it, would you?"

"You bastard!"

Sonia picked up her short axe, ready to pounce and snatch it at any moment. Even with her recklessness, she felt uneasy after realizing she had nearly ruined everything, and the best way to dispel that unease was to get the medicine back. Otherwise, she would never be able to sleep again.

"take it easy."

Yan Ke crouched down and turned the blonde girl over.

His actions once again angered Sonia, but fortunately Anna pulled her back in time to prevent her from lashing out.

Yan Ke looked at the girl's wounds; her tattered shirt exposed large expanses of her skin, but it was all covered in blood, failing to stir any emotion in him, only leaving a subtle sense of sorrow. His gaze passed over the children, landing on the monster's corpse lying on the ground in the distance. His extensive combat experience allowed him to deduce the general course of events from the traces at the scene, and a faint smile appeared on his face.

“A weak enemy proves nothing. When you are more mature, go and find a more challenging battlefield.”

Yan Ke twisted open the first-aid spray, and before he could use it, he turned to the heavy motorcycle that was cautiously peeking in their direction and shouted, "Do you have any gauze?"

Anemone was startled, thinking she had been seen by someone other than the doctor, before realizing that the mysterious man was talking to the car.

Do you have to be so blunt? Do you really think Noah's Ark motorcycle is alive? Is driving a car your dream, you stinky men?

The anemone propelled the Noah motorcycle forward, turning the body and launching the storage box on one side.
