It would be fine if we didn't mention this, but once this was mentioned, Franka got angry and shouted at Razer beside her indignantly:

"It must be my bad luck! I got picked a tough enemy in the second round of selection! It's definitely not because I'm not capable enough that I can't get into Noah's team!"

"...Just be content." Razer glanced at Franca beside him and said calmly, "Jessica ran into the Ranger from Rhodes Island in the first game. You don't know that she was simply fooled by that old man at that time."

"He was eliminated in the first round. Cathead is really miserable." Franka said this, and her mood improved a little. Then she asked Razer beside her:

"By the way, why didn't Cathead come with us this time?"

"...She is still concentrating on her training, and is seeking advice from the old ranger." Razer said this, and after checking his ammunition out of boredom, he continued:

"Besides, we are just responsible for the support. If Miss No. 2 is here, Jessica will be under a lot of pressure, right?"

"That's right..."

Talking about her junior who has been working very hard recently, Franca couldn't help but feel a little melancholy. However, before she could rest for a moment, she suddenly felt something.

"…Hey, shorty?"

"I feel it." This time he didn't dwell on the nickname "Shorty". Razer naturally sensed the change. The two girls looked into the distance at the same time, and they felt the ground shaking slightly.

That is... the vibration that only occurs when a land ship is moving, and, judging from the rhythm, this land ship... is unexpectedly large.

What's going on? Did the people from Noah's team steal a land boat from Mo City?

"Shorty, use your communicator to connect."

"--This is Black Steel International. Please identify yourself when passing by land ships. We need to conduct routine inspections." Razer was not vague and immediately took out his communicator to communicate with the land ship in the distance.

As an international security force, wherever Black Steel International appears, they need to conduct routine interrogations of other forces to ensure that the other party is not coming to interfere with their mission.

International forces do not get involved in any disputes between countries. This is the basic principle of international independent forces. Although the name of international forces is good, in fact, they are just surviving in the cracks.

However, Razer's communication did not receive an immediate response. After a slight pause, Razer quickly pulled out his small gun and said to Franka beside him:

"Fat Fox, be careful."

"I know." Franca realized something was wrong when she heard that, and immediately drew the sword from her waist, ready to resist any subsequent challenges.

The land ship was clearly visible in the distance, however, it was not the huge land ship that Razer and Franka had imagined, but a team of several small land ships, galloping through the wilderness!

However, the other party seemed to have no interest in them and quickly passed by the village without stopping for a moment.

"…What's going on? Are you just passing by?"

"That would be great." Razer also felt quite strange. She slowly put away her weapons and looked at the land fleet rushing towards the distance. She couldn't help but said strangely:

"The direction they were heading from just now... was it from Mo City? But isn't it said that Mo City is now in a state of high alert and has been completely blocked? Apart from Chen Qi and the others, who else can break through Mo City's defenses?"

"Whoosh-!"

However, just as Razer finished speaking, a sound of breaking through the air suddenly came from a distance. Razer and Franka subconsciously looked up and saw a white mark rising into the sky.

what is that?

Just when Razer and Franka were quite confused, they saw the white trace rising into the sky, as if it had reached a climax, and made a dull explosion in the air, raising a cloud of white explosion mist.

Following closely behind, one could see small burning fireballs slowly falling toward the ground, like a heavy rain was about to come!

At this moment, Razer's pupils couldn't help but shrink a little, until she felt a huge pulling force beside her.

"Run, shorty!"

Fireballs rained down from the sky, setting everything in the village on fire, burning everything that could be burned, and turning the entire land into a scorched earth...

……

"I am doing my best to hunt down Maklov. The arrest warrant has been issued and the order has been passed to the army group. Maklov will never have the chance to mobilize them again."

At this moment, in the Ursus Palace, looking at Chen Qi, Lin Dong, Zao Lu and Jessica in front of him, Nicholas, who finally had a break, did not continue to maintain the majesty of the emperor, and said to the group in a very casual manner:

"It can be considered as having survived a crisis. To be honest, I should thank you, even if you are spies."

"It's not over yet." Chen Qi shook his head when he heard that. His pupils were still a little red, but much better than before. It must be said that the royal eye drops are different.

"Makalov is not dead. Although he was defeated this time, this guy's ambition will never disappear."

"Besides, he now possesses terrifying ancient weapons. Although the launcher was destroyed by us, if he can find a way to regain control of these weapons, then we will undoubtedly fall into an extremely passive situation."

Of course, more importantly, these ancient weapons must never be allowed to be used. The current Terra continent simply cannot withstand the destruction of these ancient weapons.

"I am sending people to look for Maklov's hiding place." Nicholas nodded and said to Chen Qi and his group, "As soon as we get any news, I will have the First Army take action immediately to destroy Maklov's lair."

"Don't worry, I will never let Makolov go, so you can just -"

"Report to your majesty, there is news coming from outside Mo City."

However, at this moment, an internal guard suddenly came to the emperor's bedroom quietly, knelt on one knee respectfully, and presented a report to Nicholas.

Since the palace was now back under Nicholas' control, the servants and maids who were originally used to monitor Nicholas had naturally been removed from their posts. However, selecting new servants and maids would take time, and now, the "Emperor's Inner Guard" had begun to temporarily take on the job of a servant.

These inner guards who are loyal to the emperor will not have any complaints about this. They are the elite trained by the Ursus royal family and will obey all orders. Not to mention being servants, even if they are asked to clean toilets for civilians, as long as it is the emperor's order, they will carry it out without hesitation.

At this moment, after receiving the report, Nicholas frowned slightly, looked at Chen Qi and his group, and said with a little anger:

"Just heard, the fleeing Maklov and his group dropped white phosphorus bombs on a village outside Mo City."

"White phosphorus bomb?!" X4

However, when Nicholas said this, Chen Qi and the other three couldn't help but exclaimed. Among them, Chen Qi and Jessica frowned after being surprised, while Lin Dong and Zao Lu were a little confused.

They were students, and although they were familiar with many aspects, they knew very little about white phosphorus bombs, which were weapons of humanitarian destruction. After all, no one on Terra had used such weapons for many years.

"The burning of the white phosphorus bomb has completely wiped out their traces. The next search may be difficult." Nicholas put down the report, barely controlled his emotions, took a deep breath, and slowly said:

"Everything there was burned down. It was abominable... a village of hundreds of people was reduced to ashes."

"--etc."

However, Chen Qi suddenly thought of something and asked Nicholas, "Where is that village?"

"Hmm? It's a village east of Mo City."

“…This is terrible.”

However, Chen Qi's expression changed slightly when he heard this, and Jessica beside him seemed to suddenly remember something, and the aura around him suddenly changed.

"——Nikola, I need a land ship! And your mining and rescue team!"

"There are comrades there to support us! We have to go and rescue them!"

Chapter 191: Finding Hope in the Ruins

"Cough, cough, cough, cough, cough..."

He had just regained a little consciousness, but the scorching air around him was so dry that it made him cough. Combined with the pain in his abdomen, Razer's spirit gradually recovered.

However, after waking up, the first thing Razer noticed was the pitch-black environment around him.

“Where…is this place…?”

Razer's eyes were unable to adapt to the dark environment for a while. She could only feel the hot air around her, as if it was burned by flames, making her extremely uncomfortable.

She wanted to take a breath, but she couldn't tell how many breaths there were in the room. The air was so tense... It made people feel anxious and embarrassed about their experience.

This is a scene that makes people feel desperate just thinking about it.

"You're awake... Shorty."

However, at this moment, a voice that was quite familiar to Razer echoed in the darkness. At this moment, when she heard this familiar voice and the nickname that made her angry, Razer did not show a trace of anger, but felt relieved.

"… Fat Fox, where are you? I can't see you."

"…right next to you."

Franka's voice came out slowly, and the next moment, after a crisp sound was heard, the lighter was turned on, instantly lighting up this dark and burning place.

With the small flame of the lighter, Razer could finally see clearly where he was now - in a not very deep cave, to be precise, it should be some Originium mine cave.

Apparently, not many people come to this cave on a regular basis, and there aren't many Originium distribution points around it. Perhaps the mining team felt that the Originium distribution was not dense after just a few attempts at mining, and it was abandoned. Razer had seen this kind of cave more than once.

This kind of cave is very suitable for those who cannot find a place to camp in the wild or do not have time to set up a tent. Razer and Franka have "stayed overnight" in this kind of cave more than once. Except that they need to be careful not to touch the Originium, everything else is good.

However, Razer was very clear that this Originium cave was no longer the place where they could sleep comfortably. This dim environment and scorching air made it the most difficult survival stage.

"...I'm sorry, shorty, I really couldn't find a place to hide at that time. When I threw you in here just now, the place collapsed..."

Franka's voice was as teasing as always, but at this moment, no matter how hard Razer listened, he could sense the fatigue that was difficult to conceal in Franka's words.

Razer straightened up with great difficulty and looked at Franka on the other side. In the darkness, with the help of the faint firelight, she saw her partner lying beside the rock in a somewhat embarrassed state.

However, the first thing Razer noticed was the thigh of Franka's right leg, which was currently oozing slightly black blood. From a distance, one could seem to see some traces of Originium fragments.

"you……"

"…I was in such a hurry when I came in that my thigh was pierced by the Originium on the ground."

Franka smiled indifferently when she heard that. Even though she was in a bad state at the moment, the teasing in her tone never disappeared. She used the same tone as always, as if this would make Razer not worry about her.

"I'm already infected, so it doesn't matter if I get infected a little more..."

"The main problem now is... we are trapped in this collapsed cave. The calling device is ineffective, and the air here... is thin, and we lack water and food..."

"..." Razer fell silent after hearing that. After Franka slowly put away the lighter, she subconsciously reached for her waist, where there was a kettle.

...However, unfortunately, they had not anticipated such a situation before. Although there was still some water in the kettle, how long could they last in such a scorching environment...it was really a question.

"No matter what, don't give up."

Although Razer's heart was gloomy, she still chose not to give up. She opened her kettle and used her fingers to wipe some water on her lips to resist the dryness.

"Franka, put some water on your lips, it will feel better."

"...That's really your style." Looking at Razer who still chose not to give up, a smile appeared on Franka's slightly pale face, and she took the kettle handed to her by Razer.

…But, she didn’t choose to put water on her lips.

Both hands were covered in dark blood, which was a symptom of Originium infection. Franka knew that considering the place where she was pierced by the Originium just now, her degree of Originium infection was already very high.

...She didn't want to infect Razer with Originium disease. Even though Rhodes Island already had a drug to cure the infection, it couldn't be a cure. It could only delay it temporarily and reduce the infection level of Originium disease to the bottom line of infection.

On the other hand... at this moment, her somewhat confused mind already showed how bad her current condition was.

There is no need to waste these things on yourself...If you leave these to the shorty, she will have a chance to escape.

"…I've applied it."

Franka returned the kettle to Razer without doing anything. After a moment of hesitation, she said to Razer:

"Shorty, would you like me to perform a Yan Country stand-up comedy for you?"

"…Save your breath."

……

I don’t know how many hours had passed, it was almost nightfall when the land ship from Mo City finally docked around the wreckage of the village.

"Is this... a village?"

However, at this moment, the people who got off the land boat fell into a trance when they looked at the village which had become a ruin.

The air was filled with an unpleasant smell, and there were traces of burnt white objects everywhere. There were even many places where the residual effects of burning white phosphorus bombs lingered.

The burned and collapsed buildings and the charred bodies of the people were almost frozen at that moment, but they were burned so badly that no expression could be seen at all - their faces were completely unrecognizable.

"Ugh——!"

Finally, Winter and his companions, who had never seen such a scene before, were completely overwhelmed by what they saw. They could never have imagined that even after experiencing the massacre in Chernobyl, their mental quality was still so fragile in the face of the tragedy of white phosphorus bombs.

This was the first time that even Chen Qi and his companions had seen this scene. This was the site devastated by the white phosphorus bomb. If they had not experienced so many wars, Chen Qi and his companions might have collapsed because of this.

"——Everyone in the mining and exploration teams, you can start your investigation."

Suddenly, following Chen Qi's order, the Ursus members on the several land ships behind him quickly got off the vehicles. They each started their own work and began to search the area for any remaining signs of life.

"…Let's split up as well."

After Chen Qi discussed with Noah's team, they began to look for signs of Razer and Franka separately. Looking at Jessica who was a little uneasy beside him, Chen Qi gently held her hand after a moment of silence.

"…Don't worry, we will find them."

"Um……"

Jessica was obviously a little uncomfortable with Chen Qi suddenly holding her hand, but this was a critical moment and Jessica was so confused that she had no time to care about it.
