Herrscher of Reason's Arknights

"Of course, no one can bear the consequences of a direct war between Yan Kingdom and Ursus. In the war between two giants, Lungmen will inevitably become the main battlefield and then be reduced to ashes in the war of the gods. Wei Yanwu is a qualified politician, and he will certainly try his best to reverse this tragic outcome. There is only one option: to strike in advance and stop it all before the collision becomes a fait accompli."

The Reunion Movement has effectively placed the Infected on a hotbed of conflict. If the clash becomes a reality, regardless of who wins between Yan and Ursus, the Infected have effectively started the war, and their future environment will only worsen.

"By forcing Lungmen, you have indirectly tied Rhodes Island to your cause."

"Those who are willing will take the bait, and I'm not the only one..."

With that, Sodium Chloride left its seat and walked behind Talulah.

"I only gave you the optimal solution; you're the one who made all of this possible."

He straightened Talulah's collar at the back of her neck, tilted his head slightly, and looked at Talulah through the reflection in the mirror.

"You devil."

Not out of anger, Talulah simply sighed and said this.

"Only two things can truly unite people: a shared ideal and a shared sin. As for me, I've never believed in any ideals; I only believe in the most practical things, and complicity is the strongest form of friendship..."

"But why?"

This is Talulah's biggest question: everyone's actions should have a motive.

However, of all the people, Snow Fairy was the most special one.

Evil without reason, as if she simply wanted to do it, without any reason or benefit to be found.

"Why? Does having a reason matter to you? Some people want the result after achieving their goal, while others only want the process before achieving it. Some people will stop at nothing to achieve their goal, while others will stop at nothing for the sake of the process, and then there are others..."

The next moment, his originally blue-gray pupils suddenly lit up with an ominous halo.

"—I just wanted to see this world burn wildly."

"Hmph, if you don't want to talk, then forget it. I should go on stage now."

Dressed in an old-fashioned military uniform, Talulah tucked her longsword into her waistband and left her house.

She was heading to the central control room on the bridge.

Ursus built its bridge exactly to warship specifications, making no attempt to conceal its aggressive nature.

This design also provides Talulah with an optimal position where all Reunion members can see her.

Before leaving the house, Talulah looked incredibly lost.

No one can predict their own destiny, and the more difficult the decision, the more confused one becomes after making it.

I don't know if my choice is the best one, and I don't know what I will encounter.

However, once the decision is made, there is only one option left: to move forward.

Some things, once done, can never be undone.

Meanwhile, in the outermost corner of the core city.

"This is the core city. It's really huge. Just thinking about something like this crashing into the Dragon Gate is enough to send chills down your spine."

After putting away and hiding the climbing ropes, Chen surveyed the empty lower level space.

Reaching the core city isn't difficult, but the possibility of traversing from the bottom of the core city all the way to the bridge without triggering any guards is extremely slim.

"Speaking of which, do you really know what you're doing, little rabbit? Let me make this clear first: if things get chaotic, I won't be able to protect you."

"Don't worry, you're here to find someone, and so am I."

Yelena looked around at the empty lower level space.

"Aren't there any Reunion Movement members here? It's so quiet, it's like a ghost town."

"She can't take many people with her; the core city wasn't built for large-scale transportation. It's possible she won't be detected..."

----careful!!"

Before he could even finish speaking, a howling wind suddenly broke through the deathly silence!

"Welcome to the core city, Officer Chen, and..."

—Yelena.

At the very top of the container at the very bottom, sodium chloride stood waiting, clearly having been there for quite some time.

Chapter 383 [Gentlemen, I love war]

In the dead of night, thick, dark clouds covered the sky, making it impossible to tell what time it was.

The wind that swept through the ancient wilderness in the darkness blew Talulah's military coat, causing the hem to flutter.

Standing atop the highest point of the bridge, the leader of the Reunion Movement, with one hand lightly resting on the hilt of his sword, looked down at all the combat personnel lined up on the deck.

Those were the most experienced and loyal people selected from all the integration movements.

The final moment, of course, must be worthy of the side dishes of the feast.

"Warriors, be honored. You are now on the fastest train to Lungmen. In eleven hours, the core city will crash into Lungmen."

At that time, the infected will take center stage in history and turn this damned old world upside down.

Of course...

Looking at the silent crowd below, Talulah spoke coldly.

“Many people will die, or rather, all of us who go on this expedition will face certain death. We have eleven hours left, which is enough time to escape. Does anyone want to quit? If you leave now, no one will hold you accountable. Anyone? If so, you can leave the core city now.”

The leader's voice echoed above the crowd, and Talulah's judgment was quite good; no one withdrew, and no one admitted defeat.

Everyone believed that Talulah would lead the infected to change everything.

Because before this, no one had ever stood up to lead the infected and tell them that the past of groaning in humiliation was over.

Meanwhile, in the lower levels of the core city.

"Welcome to the core city, you two~"

The god standing there revealed a sinister smile.

The next moment, purple ripples burst forth like waves surging in mid-air!

"Then, die here."

His golden eyes were filled with malice that almost solidified into a tangible form.

"It's raining?"

Sitting in the off-road-specific land vehicle, Amiya looked up at the dark sky outside the window.

The moon was obscured by dark clouds, the thick clouds resembling the curtain before a grand opening.

The atmosphere around them was unusually oppressive.

An hour ago, the Good Boy took off. According to the plan, Rhodes Island's aircraft would later hover over the core city to attract the attention of most Reunion Movement members.

Cover the Rhodes Island squad's landing on the island.

This is the safest method, but also the most dangerous. No matter where the elite troops were selected from to land on the island, they were all incredibly weak before landing.

The siege cannons on the core city walls are powerful enough to destroy any enemy within range; no human body can withstand such an attack.

If the landing force is discovered before it even lands, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Fortunately, the dust kicked up by the mobile city and the surrounding wasteland provided the Rhodes Island squad with excellent cover.

What if the operation fails?

Amiya looked at him with a confused expression.

Or rather, most people will feel confused.

Making a choice is one thing; having unwavering faith in that choice is another.

No matter how resolute a person is, they will have concerns when faced with such a major issue of right and wrong.

If the infection fails, the environment for the infected person will only become worse.

Regardless of whether Yan or Ursus emerges victorious, the infected will become an excuse to start a war and face condemnation from around the world.

That would be a disaster.

She had asked Dr. Kal'tsit the same question, as she was about to depart with another small team.

The answer, however, was somewhat unexpected.

Just do your best, the rest...

—You can leave it to fate.

Amiya took a deep breath and put on her headset.

"Everyone, start checking your watches! The convoy will arrive at the designated location in eleven minutes. The 'Good Boy' will provide cover for our landing on the island for several hours. All squads, pay attention to the time; this mission absolutely cannot fail."

·······················

"The corrupt power holders and those damned parasites on this land have robbed us of so much—of our names, of our rights, and even of our lives! Simply because we have an incurable disease!"

We've lost our names, lost our race; we all have only one name: Infected! And everything we're doing today is the Infected's response to these damned parasites!

Talulah clenched her fist and said angrily.

"We will take back our Promised Land! With our own hands! As long as there is injustice against the infected on this land, as long as there are still infected people oppressed on this land, our war will not end!"

Those corrupt regimes have repeatedly proven throughout history that they are neither capable of nor concerned with the rights of the infected. Therefore, we should take back all the rights that we were entitled to!

It is time, warriors, time to set foot on the land of those who drove us to hell while they slept soundly and wake them up.

Grab them by the hair and drag them out. Let them taste fear and death.

Let them remember the terrifying sound of our military boots!

Now, everyone on high alert! Those damned parasites will surely notice and intercept us in advance. Be extremely careful! Then, ensure the core city can be successfully attacked!

Remember, my lords, it is time for them to remember that in this space between heaven and earth, there are many things their pathetic philosophy cannot explain: a core city, thousands of infected, threatening to burn the entire world to ashes. I have kept my promise and brought you all here. Come, warriors…

Let's create hell!

Chapter 384 [Sisters' Talk]

"It's so boring."

He strolled leisurely on the metal deck at the bottom, his heels tapping against the metal floor. The tapping sound, a symbol of desire, sounded like a death knell to Chen's ears.

Sodium chloride, with its hands behind its back, seemed to be strolling in its own royal court, with everything nearby bowing its head.

In the blink of an eye, the black and white spears that shot out could destroy anything that sodium chloride couldn't stand.

Whether it is a person, an object, an army, or a certain high-ranking ruler, they are all just laughable clowns in the face of absolute power.

The snow demon, seemingly wandering around, was surrounded by ruins.

Once you see the opponent stagger, there's no need to chase or use any tricks; you can simply move your hand and destroy both the person and the cover.

"----boom!!!"

The continuous metal walls were completely torn apart, resembling the ferocious marks left by some ancient behemoth.

"Damn it! What is this thing? I've never seen Originium Arts like this before. Where did this monster come from?"

Chen Huijie drew her sword and barely managed to deflect the lance that had pierced through the wall and was flying towards her. Then, the explosion caused by the deflected lance knocked her over again.

The two were completely overwhelmed by the Snow Demon's almost unreasonable firepower and had no chance to fight back.

Let alone getting close, even survival is uncertain.

"Please leave, Inspector Chan."

Hiding behind a collapsed load-bearing pillar, Yelena shook the dust off her ears and spoke to Chen Huijie, who was clearly injured beside her.

"Huh? Are you kidding me!"

However, this was met with strong opposition from Chen.

What a joke! Abandoning a child and running away alone? It would be better to kill Chen Huijie than to make her do that.

How could I possibly abandon a little child?

"I can't fully utilize my abilities with Miss Chen here."
