It seems that Dr. Kal'tsit's decision was indeed correct.
Volume 5: Chapter 161: Searching
After spending a whole day following Polina to visit all the safe areas, Talina did not find any trace of Talulah.
Although confused, Talina also collected some basic information.
First, some strange guys inexplicably appeared in the team. Although these people wore the white masks of the Integration Movement on their faces, their behavior was extremely strange.
Each of them was as strong as a Fengtu beast, and they would only take off the masks on their faces occasionally, and kept them on all the time.
Most of these people were distributed among Mephistopheles' herds, with a few mixed in with other leaderless troops, with a vague tendency to take the lead.
And these people will deliberately keep their distance from others in normal times...
Disgust? Or disgust?
Or maybe both, but it's not normal.
Talina shared her discovery with Frost Star, asking her to be more careful to avoid any setbacks.
At this time, 24 hours had passed since Talina and others arrived in Chernobyl. Adding the previous 24 hours, they had a total of 120 hours left.
That’s five days!
If you include the evacuation time, it will be about four days.
In other words, if Tallulah is not found within four days, then Chernobyl will collide head-on with Gantry!
"Where will it be?"
Rubbing her hair irritably, Talina felt a little annoyed.
The communicator that Tallulah left for her seemed to be broken and never rang at all. The one-sided communication made her regret it even more.
If I had known this would happen, I would have installed a tracker on this guy no matter what!
Hiding in Frost Star's room, Talina quietly observed the tall tower in the distance through the gap between the curtains.
That is the command room of the Integration Movement and the control room of the core city of Chernobog. If you want to control this huge city, you must go there.
That was the most likely place for Tallulah to be, and it was also the only place they had not been to except for the outer area.
With an irritated click of her tongue, Talina looked down at the guards pacing back and forth every five minutes.
Chernobyl's command center is open and has a wide observation range. If you go in rashly, there is a high probability of being discovered. Koschei is in charge there, and if Talina goes in, she will probably be caught and sold for a high price.
If you want to get in, you will probably have to rely on Frost Star.
After making up her mind, Talina went out to discuss it with the few people who were resting outside.
"Do not..."
Without any extra words, Rosemary just stood quietly beside Talina, holding her arm.
here we go again...
Seeing Rosemary's dazed look, Talina couldn't help but feel a headache.
This kitten is good in every way except that it is too clingy. However, it doesn't have any malicious intentions, so Talina can't find a reason to refuse it.
"Ms. Talina...isn't this method a bit too dangerous? And if it's discovered, Miss Froststar will be implicated..."
Amiya on the side gave her own suggestions after careful consideration.
"I might be labeled a traitor, and that would be troublesome..."
It had only been a day since she arrived here, but Amiya had already adjusted her mindset, considering the safety of the team first and then thinking about the goal.
After hearing what Amiya said, Talina fell silent.
Of course she knew the danger, but if she continued to wait like this, when Chernobyl really hit the gantry and the disaster broke out, it would be no use regretting it.
"We can try, but we can't follow them. Miss Froststar's status allows her to bring two followers, but if she brings more, it will definitely arouse suspicion."
Stroking her chin, Margaret said softly.
"After all, that place is heavily guarded, and we're a big target. We've already aroused some people's vigilance during yesterday's exploration. If we show up again, there will most likely be problems."
Listening to what the two said, Talina felt a little embarrassed.
If Amiya is inexperienced and thinks too superficially, then Margaret, who has been traveling for several years, can give her some pertinent advice.
As the oldest person in the group, Margaret is undoubtedly the backbone in times of crisis.
While affirming Talina's bold idea, he also pointed out the dangers involved. The decision was entirely up to Talina.
At worst, I'll just cover it later...
With Rosemary here, it is easy to leave here by just cutting a few crumbling buildings to block the enemy.
Then they can go and bring Talina out, and they can escape.
As for Froststar...
Sorry, she couldn't consider so many things. Being able to save her friends was already her limit.
With Margaret's support, the matter was basically settled. After comforting Rosemary, Talina got ready, returned to the house, and sent a message to Frost Star.
Compared to Tallulah, Frost Star is obviously much better. At least she won't leave herself with a one-way conversation, so that she has to look at her face if she wants to talk to her.
Not long after the message was sent, Frost Star replied.
"Go downstairs and wait for me. Put on your clothes and respirator."
Talina was a little surprised that she passed the most difficult level so easily.
She thought she was going to have a fight with Froststar...
After quickly packing up her things, Talina put on the snow monsters' respirators and hurried downstairs.
The respirator is large enough to cover most of Talina's face. Fortunately, this thing is standard equipment for snow monsters, so no one will say anything when she wears it. At most, they will just be curious.
After going downstairs, Talina saw Frost Star waiting outside as soon as she went out, with Polina standing next to her.
Without saying hello, Talina walked up silently and followed Frost Star consciously.
Polina took the time to look at her, somewhat confused as to what her sister-in-law was up to.
"Don't say anything later. That girl usually stays in the command room. As long as you don't make any noise and don't run around in front of her, she shouldn't notice you."
Whispering some precautions to Talina, Frost Star looked at the patrol team in the distance with a frown on her face.
As one of the leaders, Frost Star's face was the best proof of identity, and no one would bother to stop her to check and show off their efforts, so the three of them easily reached the command room.
Without registering, Frost Star took Polina and Talina straight upstairs, just like usual, except this time she was accompanied by two attendants.
The command center has three floors.
The first and second floors were used to house elite combat personnel, and only the third floor was the place where the various leaders usually held meetings.
It is also where decisions are made.
There are no cameras here, and because of the special location, there are not even guards. If safety is ensured, Talina can search here without restraint.
Frost Star actually didn't have high expectations for Talina. She had come here to look for her a long time ago, but unfortunately she found nothing.
If there was no other way, she would not come here again.
Although the other leaders were confused, they still chose to obey Tallulah's orders, even though the orders were unreasonable. Now the only two people who could stop Tallulah besides themselves were their father, Bozhukas.
Maybe Talina should be included too.
Without wandering around, Frost Star brought Talina to the command room.
They were lucky. For some reason, Kosice was not stationed here today, which gave them an opportunity.
Looking at the dazzling array of wires around her, Talina was a little confused.
Compared to a command room, this place is more like a distribution room, and an abandoned one at that. Some of the randomly spliced wires are even exposed, and strange noises are emitted from time to time.
"Is this... really where you usually hold meetings?"
Carefully dodging a crackling and sparking electric wire, Talina frowned.
Why hasn't the exposed power supply caused a fire here?
A crimson electric current suddenly exploded in front of Talina, startling the unprepared Talina.
Wait...red?
Stopping her steps, Talina looked down at the electric wires.
What lightning...would be red?
Volume 5: Chapter 162: Found
"Are you sure this thing is really a power supply device?"
Looking at Frost Star who was still searching not far away, Talina spoke out.
She had never seen lightning of this color and such a chaotic layout. Unless it was some special structure, it was bound to catch fire.
"I don't know. The things here were taken by Kosciuszko's men. I don't quite understand the details."
Called over by Talina's voice, Frost Star looked at the tangled wires on the floor and felt equally confused.
She had been worried about whether this arrangement would cause electric leakage, but nothing happened afterwards, and gradually, she forgot about it.
The crackling and flashing electric sparks looked terrifying, but after Talina calmed down, she realized that this thing only looked scary and actually had no killing power at all.
The tower is more like a constantly flickering...
light?
"Where do these wires come from?"
Sensing something was wrong, Talina hurriedly asked Frost Star.
This is the energy core of Chernobog, but Talina did not find any trace of the glass key here. Coupled with the numerous "wires" here, she thought of a possibility.
Could it be... there's a hidden room here? Or maybe there's a basement with a power supply?
"Directly connected..."
After checking the lines on the ground, I sorted out the incident and found out that Frost Star was dead. I had no choice but to tell Talina the result.
"Is there any way down here?"
Without giving up on this only clue, Talina continued to look for possible answers.
"No, the bottom is cast in one piece. Unless we chisel it open, there is no way to get rid of it."
Having been here for so long, Frost Star has basically figured out the situation here.
Underneath this building is a thick layer of cement foundation. The only way to get down is to dig it up or break it.
If the temperature dropped instantly, she could clear it, but that would make too much noise and was unnecessary.
"Look for other places. Since energy is being transported up, there must be something down there. Maybe Chernobog's energy supply warehouse is down there!"
Although the speculation is somewhat untenable, this is the only direction they can look for at the moment.
It was impossible for Tallulah to go to the outskirts of Chernobog. They had already searched the inner city thoroughly, and now this was the only place left.
It’s always a good idea to look for it.
Seeing Talina like this, Frost Star didn't want to interrupt her, so she could only send Polina out for a walk and follow Talina to look for it.
After searching for about half an hour, the two still found nothing.
I searched every corner of the room on the third floor, even under the bed, but I couldn't find any possible secret door.
The futile search made Talina begin to doubt.
Is the entrance not here? Or is it too hidden and they overlooked it?
With her slightly tired body raised, Talina looked around the room.
If there was any place they hadn't searched, it was the chair where Kosice usually rested.
The support point of the chair is an alloy frame with no cover, so Talina and Frost Star ignored it at first. Now thinking back, it seems a bit suspicious.
Pulling Frost Star over, Talina carefully walked around the chair and then found a thin crack around it.
The cracks are regular and when connected together they form a square.
“It really is here!”
