I write obituaries for the gods

"I'm fine," Li Zhanyi smiled. "Then let's rest for a while. I don't know what's going on either."

So, everyone began exchanging information.

Based on the description given by the embroidery needle, Lin Chen understood why the guerrillas had entered Yudu:

About a month ago, the foundation suddenly began constructing various facilities in the Baiyin District-Yuhen County area, some of which were processing plants and others were military camps.

Their invasion naturally provoked discontent among the native inhabitants of Raintown, and the guerrillas became active again, leading to repeated clashes between the two sides.

"Many of our compatriots died simply because they couldn't bear to see the green mountains and clear waters polluted by the foundation."

Embroidery Needle sat on the wooden box, gently swaying its legs.

"Fortunately, in order to reduce trouble, the Foundation did not launch a large-scale attack on us. After all, the people of Bengyu Town are all soldiers. If they were all displaced, they would only face a more troublesome situation."

"As for us young people, we were responsible for causing trouble in the city and finding people to form alliances, but we couldn't find the bronze mask even after searching for more than a month."

"He's working for the Investigation Bureau like a dog," Lin Chen laughed.

"So shameless?" Embroidery Needle's eyes widened. "Speaking of which, aren't you from the Investigation Bureau, senior? I heard that the Investigation Bureau has become a local tyrant, and they've started collecting protection money from residents."

"Well, that's a long story," Lin Chen sighed.

During this period, he did indeed witness many of the evil deeds committed by his former colleagues.

Time and again, while moving around the city, he witnessed the armed officers bullying residents like thugs, so disgusting that he didn't even want to respond.

Among them were some colleagues he recognized before, whose previous impressions of him were quite good, but now they all seemed like completely different people, with faces like demons.

Lin Chen had considered whether Louis had used his intelligence to manipulate these people, but he quickly dismissed the idea.

The reason is simple: a demigod of gamma rank cannot do this.

They really have turned bad; the truth is that simple.

In just two months, with power in hand and order lost, these agents who usually wielded violence became the villains they had originally vowed to fight to the death.

This feeling is terrible.

"Old Catfish always said the thugs in the city were unreliable, but I never imagined they'd be this unreliable..."

After listening to Lin Chen's story, Embroidery Needle couldn't help but mutter to itself.

"Alright, let's get down to business. Could you help me get in touch with the Bronze Mask?"

"His plan is to go undercover within the Investigation Bureau, so it's impossible to contact him in the short term," Lin Chen shook his head.

"Okay, do you have a place to stay in Watery City?" Embroidery Needle asked. "We've been constantly changing bases in the slums of the Rainy District, we're practically exhausted from having no fixed abode..."

"Yes, there are." Lin Chen nodded.

After settling down, Hua Molan calculated that the small ring of buildings around the stronghold were basically covered by dimensional stability anchors, making them habitable.

The furniture inside is mostly randomly generated from the subspace, so it will take some time to organize.

"Then let's move to your place first! We just received a large shipment from the hospital this time!"

"Okay, but wait a moment."

As Lin Chen spoke, a deep blue glint flashed in his eyes.

In an instant, the guerrillas felt a slight flash before their eyes, and their minds suddenly felt heavy.

"Huh? What's going on...?"

"It's alright," Lin Chen nodded. "Let's go."

He used his intelligence to quickly scan the guerrillas' minds to make sure they were indeed Raintown guerrillas, not undercover agents sent by the Foundation.

Invading someone else's mind like this is obviously impolite, but in this world, Lin Chen can't care about politeness.

He has no room for error.

"..."

Led by Lin Chen, the guerrillas traversed the streets and alleys of Shuiwa City, wandering through various strangely shaped passages.

"How did you manage to memorize this ghostly road?" She couldn't help but ask when the embroidery needle passed through the archway under the bridge and entered the small office.

The various paths here seem completely unrelated; behind a window might lie a sewer, a sewer outlet might lead to the rooftop, and a rooftop drain might lead to the basketball court...

The entire spatial structure is completely chaotic.

"Practice makes perfect." Lin Chen skillfully led the way ahead.

"No wonder those androids couldn't catch you at all. We basically have to change our base every two days. Their search capabilities are just too incredible," Embroidery Needle couldn't help but exclaim.

"We've arrived."

Lin Chen stopped at the entrance of the stronghold.

“The houses over there are all in the safe zone and you can live there, but you’ll have to adjust the room layout yourselves,” Lin Chen pointed to the bungalows on one side of the stronghold. “Call me if you need any help.”

"Okay, I'll try not to trouble you, senior!"

As she spoke, Xiuhuazhen waved her hand, and Baiyun took out a box and handed it to Lin Chen.

"Here are some supplies we found at the hospital. Please accept them."

“We don’t lack medical supplies,” Lin Chen said. “We’ve stockpiled quite a bit.”

"It's not a medical product, it's a snack like potato chips."

Li Zhanyi decisively took the box.

"Thank you," Li Zhanyi smiled at the embroidery needle.

“Hehe, I knew you guys would be short of this,” Embroidery Needle gave a thumbs up. “It’s a luxury in the current environment. Only a mountain king like Dr. Andy can control these resources.”

"..."

After the guerrillas had gone, Li Zhanyi, holding the box, couldn't help but complain:

"I'm practically marinated in instant noodles."

"We're going to find Shen Xuanyi soon. It would be great if we could get some fresh meat and milk from their ranch." Lin Chen gently patted Li Zhanyi's head.

All the high-powered subspace transmitters are located in the Rain City Star TV Tower. To reach such a place, Lin Chen needs allies.

Shen Xuanyi is a very suitable ally.

During this time, he tried to establish contact with Shen Xuanyi, although only a few times, but he still gained a general understanding of the United Concrete Group.

Currently, the Southern Development Zone is relatively safe.

It's much safer than Xiwang District.

"Let's go report the situation to Director Hua Molan, then go back to our room," Lin Chen said.

“Go back to your room... What’s wrong?” Li Zhanyi was taken aback.

"It's almost time to call Huihui and Liti," Lin Chen said.

Li Zhanyi stared at Lin Chen for a while, then sighed:

"Yes, we haven't seen the little girls for a week."

The two went directly to the conference hall, told Director Hua Molan about the guerrillas, and exchanged some intelligence along the way.

After listening to Lin Chen's report, Hua Molan nodded slightly:

"If we want to launch a strong attack on the Rain City Star TV Tower, it would be best to move the two girls."

"Is the security level of the encrypted room insufficient?" Li Zhanyi said.

"Breaking open that encrypted room will indeed cost money, but if you anger Mr. Iron Face, he will probably do anything to pry it open, take the two girls hostage, and deal with you severely."

Looking at the "Peak Group" logo on the clue board, Hua Molan began to analyze:

"Don't expect that Litty and Megumin's location information hasn't been exposed yet. The intelligence about that encrypted room is available within the Bureau of Investigation, and the current RBAI is completely a dog of the Foundation, sharing all intelligence."

“I’ve been observing the situation on Guter Street. Your brother Hao made preparations before the chaos began, and he’s now a small-time boss in that area with some influence. But even so, their living space is being squeezed. This is most likely at Louis’s behest.”

"Most of the things that guy did after becoming the bureau chief were aimed at making things difficult for us," Lin Chen muttered.

Louis, after the chaos began, Lin Chen had heard a lot about this new director.

Most of the things said weren't nice.

“I’m more worried about Litty. She’s not really suited to stay in Water City,” Lin pondered. “After all, the source of her insomnia comes from the depths of the subspace, and the closer you get, the stronger the attraction.”

"How about we leave it with Sister Xuanyi?" Li Zhanyi suggested. "She'd definitely be happy to help."

“Hmm...that’s certainly possible,” Lin Chen nodded, “but I need to see the environment there in person first.”

"Then, let's go find Shen Xuanyi first and ask her about entering the Rain City Star TV Tower, and then bring Huihui and Liti out of the encrypted room."

After finalizing the plan, Hua Molan went to confirm some things with the guerrillas.

Lin Chen and Li Zhanyi returned to the room and stood in front of the wall.

Lin Chen took out his phone, pressed a button, and a complex projector slowly descended from the roof, its body emitting a faint blue light.

"Sizzle... sizzle..."

"The signal is getting worse and worse," Li Zhanyi said.

After the snowflakes on the screen flashed for a long time, the blurry scene finally pieced together.

A clean and tidy little room appears in the picture.

"Where is everyone?" Lin Chen looked at the empty room and chuckled softly.

Two heads peeked out from the top left and top right corners of the screen, looking at Lin Chen.

“Brother!” Huihui smiled broadly.

“Brother!” Liti opened her arms.

The two little girls rolled onto the bed with a "whoosh," got up, and obediently looked at the camera.

"We haven't been in touch for a week! That's too long!" Huihui pouted.

"This week has been too busy," Lin Chen chuckled. "How's it going on your end?"

"The sisters took very good care of us!" Litty said happily.

"The internet is getting worse and worse; now I can basically only play single-player games," Megumin sighed. "When I do manage to connect, all I see are Foundation manifestos everywhere—it's terrifying, I don't dare look..."

"Don't look at it too much, the environment outside is terrible right now," Li Zhanyi nodded.

"I miss you all!" Litty exclaimed. "When are you coming to pick us up?"

"Liti, we should stay here and not cause any trouble..." Huihui quickly whispered.

"But I miss Brother Lin Chen!" Liti blinked, "and I miss Sister Zhanyi too!"

Her wings flapped behind her several times, as if she wanted to take flight.

Lin Chen guessed that she probably hadn't flown in a long time. The ceiling of the encrypted room was much lower than that of a regular residence, so it would be easy to hit her head if she flew upwards.

The fact that a little bird was deprived of its right to fly left Lin Chen feeling heavy-hearted.

“If we’re lucky, we’ll come pick you up soon,” Lin Chen said, “but we’ll have to see.”

"Did you bring the feathers?" Litty raised her chin.

"I brought it with me, I brought it with me."

Lin Chen and Li Zhanyi pulled out the feather pendants from their chests and showed them to Liti.

Seeing her own feathers, Litty was instantly satisfied.

"Then you'd better come pick us up quickly," Litty said softly. "Huihui cries a lot at night; she must miss you very much."

"I didn't..." Huihui's face flushed red instantly.

"You're so disappointing," Lin Chen smiled. "Then I'll have to work harder."

"I...I'm fine," Huihui said quickly. "Really, I'm fine, brother. You need to take care of yourself and don't risk your life to pick us up..."

"Don't worry, have you forgotten? Your brother is very capable."

Lin Chen made a gesture of showing off his muscles, which successfully made Huihui laugh.

"By the way, did Brother Hao come to the door to talk to you?" Li Zhanyi suddenly thought of something.

“Not this week. Last time he said he was also very busy outside, and told us to take good care of ourselves inside.”
