Ark Chess Player.

She knew no one would respond, but she also knew that the entire Rhode Island building was riddled with listening devices.

Kal'tsit knew this but didn't dismantle it because she never intended to make it an important base for Rhodes Island.

What others give you for free is always the most expensive.

"So you enjoy eavesdropping, huh? You want to listen? Then listen to your heart's content. When I leave, I'll give you eighty players back. I'll play the sound of Mousse scratching a blackboard on repeat until your brain trembles." Kal'tsit thought to herself, but the first thing to deal with wasn't disgusting Wei Yanwu, but protecting herself.

Kal'tsit quickly mentally deduced a tactical command plan, taking into account the current combat strength of the Rhodes Island Pharmaceutical Building. Two major problems loomed: first, she didn't know the total number of enemy troops or their skill level; second, Rhodes Island's operators were unfamiliar with the terrain.

This newly completed building is cluttered with mostly unused or even useless facilities.

In the worst-case scenario, the enemy might already have the blueprints for the Rhode Island Pharmaceuticals Building.

After all, these things... well, who can say for sure?

Kal'tsit's mind was racing. She considered herself inferior to the Doctor in tactical command, and could only regard herself as a pawn.

"Since that's the case, then we have no choice but to..."

Kal'tsit took a syringe and a small vial of dark green liquid from her pocket.

She shook the viscous, ominous liquid in the bottle, hesitated for a moment, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Kal'tsit's mind flashed back to the scene where Lin Lu had stormed into Rhodes Island's central control room and carried her to his office. It was because she had been injected with drugs that Lin Lu had erupted in fury, berating the elite operators. Although some time had passed, it allowed her... to finally get a good night's sleep, something she hadn't done in a long time.

"You can't stop me this time."

Kal'tsit chuckled self-deprecatingly, skillfully manipulating the syringe, rolling up her sleeve, and preparing to inject herself into her arm.

Just then, the melodious sound of a violin began to play, and her mobile terminal emitted a notification sound that only rang when communicating with people she paid special attention to.

Kal'tsit's special attention is focused on only two people.

Could it be him?

Kal'tsit put down the syringe and took out a mobile terminal from another pocket of her white coat. When she saw the numbers displayed on it and the cute brown-haired bunny girl's avatar, she couldn't help but smile, realizing she had truly been bewitched.

"This is Kal'tsit." She answered the phone.

"Dr. Kal'tsit! Something terrible has happened!"

Amiya's voice was quite excited; you could almost picture her nervously gesturing and dancing on the other end of the phone, even through the mobile device.

"Don't be impatient, speak slowly."

Kal'tsit sighed helplessly, thinking that Amiya had grown up, but she was still so impulsive.

Amiya's breathing came clearly through the mobile terminal. After calming herself, she said in a deep voice, "Dr. Kal'tsit, while carrying out a mission commissioned by the Lungmen Guard in the slums, we discovered two unknown forces. One is the 'Lungmen New Life' group, composed of hundreds of Lungmen citizens, whose operational principle is to forcibly expel the infected. The other is... people from the Lungmen Guard, but a force not under Commander Chen's jurisdiction. Through Instructor Dobermann's interrogation, we learned that they are planning to attack the Pharmaceutical Building!"

“…Okay, I understand.” Kal'tsit paused, omitting the information that had already been sent. “Leave this to me, you continue with your mission.”

"Ah."

Amiya responded with some concern and ended the brief call.

She knew how weak the defenses of the Rhodes Island Pharmaceutical Building were. The small team dispatched by the Guard Bureau could handle routine security issues, but they wouldn't stand a chance against a targeted enemy attack! Everyone knew how incompetent the Guard Bureau team was.

Amiya could only hope that Ace and the others could reach the pharmaceutical building on the outskirts of Lungmen as soon as possible. Before setting off on her mission, she had specifically contacted the elite operators on the Rhodes Island ships. She wondered if Operation Reserve Team A4 had arrived in Lungmen yet… Oh no, she forgot to tell Dr. Kal'tsit about the Kingslayer!

Amiya's long rabbit ears stood up, and she quickly dialed the number again using the communication device in her hand.

In the Rhodes Island Pharmaceutical Building office, Kal'tsit was preparing to re-inject the medication when her mobile terminal rang again, and the needle ended up piercing thin air.

"Amiya, what's wrong?"

Slightly annoyed, Kal'tsit picked up the terminal and asked instinctively.

“...I am Lawyer Lin.”

A familiar, neutral voice came from the mobile device.

Kal'tsit's fingers trembled for a moment, and she almost dropped the mobile terminal.

A storm swept through her head, and Kal'tsit quickly covered the microphone on her mobile terminal. She took a deep breath, calming her fluctuating emotions—a mixture of shock and relief at having regained what she had lost. Even during her business negotiations with Lungmen Governor Wei Yanwu, Kal'tsit had never been this nervous.

Are you awake, or are you still dreaming?

Kal'tsit said calmly, her voice completely flat.

This statement sounded somewhat nonsensical, but Lin Lu knew what she was talking about.

The person who knows him best is actually Kal'tsit.

Neither Bai Huang nor Chao Shan, nor even Amiya and the King Killer... knew what Lin Lu's current situation was.

Lin Lu thought for a moment and replied, "Have you eaten?"

"……not yet."

"Can't you hear me! You think you can eat when you're speaking so softly? Try again!"

"Law, what's gotten into you again?"

Kal'tsit raised the back of her hand to her forehead, feeling somewhat helpless, but she had to admit that she felt much more at ease.

"Kal'tsit, does my three days of unexcused absence count as voluntary resignation?" Lin Lu asked with a light laugh.

"...Where did you get the three days of absence from work? Rhodes Island has always been generous to its employees. This is a work injury, and you are entitled to paid leave."

"Then I'll go back and lie down for a while."

"Go."

Kelsey said calmly.

The two fell silent until a sigh slowly came from the mobile terminal.

Lin Lu felt a deep sense of regret, realizing that Kal'tsit didn't understand human nature.

But then again, hasn't this woman always been like this?

I'm used to facing everything alone, and I always shoulder everything on my own shoulders.

He still keeps picking up kids from outside and bringing them back to Rhodes Island. Even though he's already overwhelmed with his own problems, he still can't let go of them.

"I'm Rhodes Island's chief tactical commander, right?" Lin Lu's reassuring voice echoed through the mobile terminal. "I'll be in charge of this operation. Put away all that stuff you've been using to torment yourself. Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. Although I don't know what happened in the past, I do know..."

"You are someone I must protect."

Chapter 250 Rhodes Island Elite Operators (4K)

"Boss, haven't we been here just now?"

The assassins moved through the Rhodes Island building, unaware of how much time had passed; given their speed, they should have reached their destination long ago.

The leader also felt something was wrong. Even if the drugs were affecting their memory, it shouldn't be to the point that they would forget things so easily.

"Humph!"

The leader drew his sword and left a groove in the wall as a landmark, then turned and continued walking.

Following the path, after wandering around for a while, the leader of the assassins suddenly stopped in his tracks. He stared at the wall, where the grooves were clearly visible.

"Being fooled."

The leader of the assassins clenched his molars and gritted his teeth as he spoke.

He had long heard of the Bagua formation set up by the ancient scholars of Yan, which was endlessly cyclical and ever-changing, just like this encounter.

"Boss, what should I do?"

The assassins asked, and wisps of white smoke rose from the two deep-set eye sockets beneath their pale masks.

The poison had taken full effect, causing their skin to turn blood red, their internal energy to surge wildly, and their bodies to swell to the point of bursting.

The deaths of the Royal Guards ignited the bloodlust of the suicide squad members. If they were allowed to remain silent any longer, they might lose their minds and start killing each other at any moment. If they hadn't been thoroughly brainwashed, having listened to the mission objectives and requirements through headphones for two hours during mission preparation, the suicide squad members might already be out of control and going berserk by now.

The leader of the assassins snorted coldly. He pulled out the architectural plans of the Rhodes Island Tower and determined his location.

can't read.

Maybe the angle is wrong, try turning it over.

Hmm, I still don't understand.

What is this architectural design drawing of Justin Bieber?!

The leader of the assassins crumpled up the architectural plans, intending to resolve the issue in the simplest and most brutal way.

But then he thought again, no, even if he wanted to use force to break through the barrier, he wouldn't know where he was.

"Two people per group, A, B, C, D, divide into four teams! The one who slapped me, come with me, the rest of you disperse!" The leader of the assassins made a decisive decision, silently stuffing the design back into his pocket, while showing a calm and composed demeanor.

"Yes."

—Inside the truck in the distance, Lin Lu, who was controlling the entire Rhodes Island Pharmaceutical Building with his data-driven spiritual domain, smiled slightly.

At his feet, Ug, an expert in information technology, collapsed like a dead dog.

Lin Lu didn't even lift a finger, yet this man was so frightened he had a heart attack, his eyes rolled back, his whole body convulsed, and his breathing became disordered. If Lin Lu hadn't considered that this man was still useful, he would have left him to fend for himself.

“Knock, knock, knock.”

Lin Lu habitually tapped two fingers on the table to organize his thoughts.

After learning about Rhodes Island's current situation, Lin Lu combined the information provided by the intelligence team and outlined countless possibilities within the Spirit Realm. He then expanded upon these options, filtered the results, and analyzed the current situation.

Finally, Lin Lu focused his attention on the suspicious forces within the Guard Bureau, gradually uncovering the truth.

That's why he's here.

Do you really think I, Lin, am not here?

Do you really think my wife and kids are easy to bully?

I'll smash your household registration book in a heartbeat!

Mr. Lin first lured the enemy into a trap, and then caught him like a turtle in a jar.

Lin Lu only had a superficial understanding of the Yan Kingdom's formations.

If the tactical simulation device hadn't had limited power, he could have easily trapped these people until the poison took effect and they all died. Moreover, Lin Lu's keen tactical instincts detected the trap, and he decided to act quickly and decisively, not wasting time on these dying men.

"Heavyweight Operator Ace, Guard Operator Sharp, Caster Operator Pith, Sniper Operator Stormeye, quickly proceed to your designated positions. Medic Operator Touch, adjust your casts and provide support as needed. I will keep you informed of each operator's status in real time."

Lin Lu pressed his left index and middle fingers together, tapped his earphone, and his eyes were full of murderous intent.

"Now, let the enemy know—Rhodes Island is not a pushover."

"Yes, Doctor!!"

The orderly sound came from the headphones, and the data-driven spiritual realm also displayed the coordinates of each person in front of them.

Lin Lu let out a slight breath. From the moment he sensed something was wrong, he rushed here without stopping. First, he stored the information of the entire building into his spiritual domain, then he walked into the building openly and placed the portable tactical simulation device in the appropriate position, and finally he infiltrated the enemy camp.

"Anemone, how long will it take to process the enemy system information?"

Lin Lu rubbed his stinging brow and asked the illusory maid floating behind him.

Anemone placed her hands together in front of her abdomen, her eyes filled with flowing data, as if gazing up at a sky full of stars.

"A quarter of an hour."

She responded softly, focusing all her attention on cracking the system.

With the support of the borderless army's system, she could resolve the issue in five minutes.

but……

Lin Lu was unwilling to take over the Army Without Borders.

For Lin Lu, everything Bai Huang and Chao Shan did for him, their selfless kindness, deeply moved him while also leaving him bewildered. Because he had no memories of his past, Bai Huang and Chao Shan were like familiar strangers, making him feel extremely uncomfortable.

Besides, Lawyer Lin is not a tool, nor does he want to be one.

He subconsciously endorsed the army without borders, but he wouldn't become the king of mercenaries without any preparation or understanding.

Now, he is the Doctor of Rhodes Island, and the elder brother of the Rhodes Island operators.

Lin Lu gently tapped the table, calculating the time it would take for the Lungmen Guard Bureau to arrive to provide support... no, to come and sweep the floor.

"Perfect timing, let's return this dilapidated building to Longmen."

Lin Lu chuckled, his eyes revealing a deep cobalt blue hue.

As his digitized spiritual domain expanded, his thoughts permeated the surroundings. While maintaining this expanded spiritual domain, Lin Lu conducted keen observations of various locations. An ordinary person would likely be overwhelmed even with four tasks at once, let alone maintain the macrocosm while simultaneously attending to minute details.
