Reincarnation NPC, but Arknights

However, for them, the architectural style and urban planning here are different from those in Longmen.

The place has a rugged feel, with even underground passages leading directly to the industrial base layer riddled with pipes.

As expected of Ursus people!

"A mobile city is a cluster of cities composed of multiple city blocks and a core city," Bai Ye explained to the players. "This design is intended to help them avoid natural disasters."

"Before a natural disaster strikes, the Disaster Messenger will issue a warning. Then the block lock of the mobile city will be unlocked, and the mobile city will move together to a safe place in the form of blocks."

"Brother Baiye, may I ask what a natural disaster is?"

Upon hearing Bai Ye mention the world-building, interested players have already started recording videos, some of whom are members of the "Valletta Society".

Bai Ye sighed.

Natural disaster...

In his past life, he was just as clueless as the players are now, and he didn't take natural disasters seriously.

Until he saw the sky begin to burn, the thick dark clouds like giant rocks pressing down on the earth, and meteorite-like Originium blocks crashing straight to the ground—an entire mobile city was destroyed in the natural disaster.

It was only then that he understood what a natural disaster was.

Beyond its destructive power, natural disasters cause an excessive accumulation of Originium energy. Originium crystal clusters grow on the earth like trees, and ordinary people without any protective measures will directly become infected.

For the native inhabitants of Terra, this is the most terrifying thing.

"Natural disasters are one of the root causes of suffering on this land," Bai Ye concluded to the players.

Words are powerless; once a player has experienced it firsthand, they will understand.

They are much luckier than the indigenous people.

For them, natural disasters are nothing more than a thrilling and terrifying adventure.

They have plenty of opportunities to start over.

But Bai Ye did not.

"To acquire the core city, we must utilize all available resources..."

This time, Bai Ye decided to find the legendary black market clinic for infected people, Azazel.

That was Chernobog's only clinic for infected individuals, and also the place where Bai Ye wanted to collaborate next.

"Why do I feel like I've become a pimp after transmigrating..."

Bai Ye was somewhat speechless.

He felt like a saint of some Western religion, telling everyone he met that they had a connection with him and then trying to convert them into his own ranks.

"Perhaps we could try 'Fellow Daoist, please wait' in the future..."

Chapter Seventy-Two: Old Man Helag

In a certain primordial worldview, the Western world lacked spiritual energy and was therefore far inferior to the Eastern world. The two saints of the Western religion spent their days poaching people, utterly devoid of any moral principles.

Today, Bai Ye is doing something similar in order to develop his own allies.

On this land, what force is easier to win over and control than the Reunion Movement? They are pawns and infected people. Bai Ye only needs to increase aid to them to gain allies with considerable strength on paper.

However, once the infected receive drug assistance from White Night and Rhodes Island, escaping is not so simple. Those who receive treatment and experience the suppressive drugs will absolutely never want to return to their previous state.

The Reunification Movement is currently facing its most difficult period, and they are even finding it hard to leave the vast frozen lands of Ursus.

Compared to them, the situation of infected people in Chernobog is probably not much better.

Unlike Victoria and Columbia, the Ursus Empire has an extreme policy towards the infected.

Those hiding in the city, unwilling to be abandoned as infected, lived in constant fear, always on the run. Fortunately, the presence of Azazel and a certain powerful figure provided shelter for the infected in Chernobog.

Unfortunately, Sergei's son was forcibly taken away before Sergei became the secretary of the city council due to a political conspiracy.

“So this is where it is… Azazel.” Bai Ye stopped in front of a remote building in a certain block.

This place has been disguised; at least on the surface, it is not a black market clinic that only treats infected people.

Bai Ye wanted to visit this clinic last time, but unfortunately he didn't have enough time, and he couldn't remember the details of the player guide that posted Azazel's location, so he could only get the information by asking around.

He had just gone to Sergei's mansion with Skadi, and going to other sensitive places would be too risky.

"despair--"

Bai Ye was looking at the clinic's main entrance when he suddenly heard two soft sounds behind him.

It appears that someone has taken out a weapon.

"Is this how Azazel treats guests who come to him?"

Bai Ye stood with his hands behind his back, without turning around, but asked a question.

He wasn't surprised at all, because he had sensed that someone was watching him ever since he asked the third stall owner in the lower city about Azazel.

When he stepped onto the street where Azazel's clinic was located, at least three informants were watching him.

The two armed men lagged far behind.

Bai Ye had already discovered them.

"A guest? A new face in Chernobog, asking around about the clinic, and not even infected. We'd just find that suspicious."

The two men quickly approached Bai Ye. One walked up to him, while the other stood behind him, his weapon half-drawn. At the same time, Bai Ye noticed someone upstairs aiming a crossbow at him.

"We need to verify your identity and background first," the leading man said.

Perhaps because he was an infected person, the man's attitude wasn't very friendly, and he was very hostile towards ordinary people. However, at least he didn't resort to violence right away, which made Bai Ye's opinion of Azazel's Clinic even higher.

"I am Bai Ye, a messenger, bringing news from an old friend from afar to the general."

Bai Ye stretched his hands out of his pockets to indicate that he posed no threat.

"A general? We don't have a general here." The man's expression changed, as if he had thought of something, but he denied it outright.

"Could you ask your men to lay down their weapons first?" Bai Ye changed the subject. "I value my life, and if I'm under threat, I might do something unpleasant."

"Are you threatening us?" The man frowned, and after a moment, he shook his head. "You know we're just a clinic here, we don't have any generals, so please leave."

"Tsk."

Bai Ye clicked his tongue and took a step forward.

The next moment, an alloy crossbow bolt shot towards the hat on his head.

In a flash, Bai Ye reached out and grabbed the crossbow bolt as if he were catching a flying insect, then flung it towards where it had come from.

The crossbow bolt returned along its original path, piercing the sniper's hat and embedding it in the interior wall.

It all happened so suddenly that no one else had time to react.

Bai Ye didn't stop walking and went straight into the clinic.

"*Ursus profanity*, what kind of monster is this?"

The two infected individuals guarding the entrance couldn't help but curse out loud.

Did you see his movements clearly just now?

"perhaps……"

"Just brag."

"Don't talk about me, aren't you going to keep stopping him?"

“If he were hostile, we would be dead already. Forget it, let’s leave it to the director to deal with.”

It was obvious that the two of them chickened out.

Sometimes, words are far less powerful than force.

……

Bai Ye didn't take the guards here seriously.

Moreover, he's become even stronger. After reaping experience from a wave of players, his level can increase by at least 5 levels. It seems like a lot, but it's only because the leveling speed is fast in the early stages. The further you go, the longer the experience bar needs to be filled, a length that can feel utterly hopeless.

However, Bai Ye did not use all his experience to level up. He only leveled up 3 times and wanted to save the rest of his experience to learn various medical skills.

In gaming terms, it's like upgrading a secondary job, or a life skill.

After leveling up 3 times, Bai Ye's personal level reached 18, with strength, agility, and spirit all reaching 36 points. Combined with his combat skills, ordinary Terrans were no match for him.

"Still no good... I'll get crushed by Hui Didi."

Bai Ye clenched his fist and walked down the corridor of Azazel's clinic.

At this moment, his mind was still wandering to some rather inappropriate thoughts, such as the baby orca's long, white, and tender legs...

The clinic was quiet, with doctors, nurses, and infected patients.

Besides, there are children.

This is not just a hospital that treats infected people, but also an organization that shelters infected people.

Similar to Rhodes Island, only much smaller in scale.

……

Along the way, everyone Bai Ye encountered showed surprise at the outsider, curiously observing this unfamiliar visitor.

Bai Ye then met his target, a tall Li Boli chieftain.

The old man was less than two meters tall, with long white hair and a robust physique. Even though he looked somewhat old, he could not hide the sense of power emanating from his body, as if he were still in his prime.

"As expected of the old general..."

Bai Ye glanced at the long sword behind the newcomer and already knew the identity of the person standing in front of him.

A former general of the Ursus Empire, one of the few survivors who were not executed, and the current administrator of the Azazel Clinic.

Helag.

Of course, this is not his real name, but since he became an infected person and went into hiding, Hrag has become his code name and title.

"I am no longer a general..." The old general looked at Bai Ye with eyes as sharp as an eagle's.

"Young man, explain your purpose."

This is an old guy whose aura is completely different from Kal'tsit's.

When talking about Dr. Kal'tsit, Bai Ye often forgets her age.

As for the man before him, Bai Ye could only sense his vicissitudes and shrewdness from the weathered face on his body.

Bai Ye wasn't even sure if her charm and affable aura had any effect on the old general.

“I have many identities. I am a messenger, a department head at a pharmaceutical company, and the owner of a logistics company.” Bai Ye bowed to the old general. “Mr. Herag, in which capacity would you prefer me to speak with you?”

“Either is fine.” Herag looked at the young man before him. Although his identity was a secret that wasn’t exactly a secret, it wasn’t something everyone knew. He was curious about what this peculiar young man would say to him.

The two entered Helag's office.

"First of all, I know news of your old friend and comrade-in-arms." Bai Ye didn't keep them in suspense any longer and directly stated his purpose, "The last pure-blooded Wendigo on this land, the most powerful war machine of the Ursus Empire."

"..." Hrag's expression changed.

Although he had left the empire's army and lived in anonymity, some things cannot be avoided.

He couldn't even be sure how many of his old friends, his comrades-in-arms, were still alive, or how many had escaped the empire's execution.

“Bozokasti,” Bai Ye said, uttering the man’s name.

"How is he now?" Herag asked, somewhat moved.

Bai Ye shook his head: "He has another name now, Patriot. General, you may have heard of the Kitahara Guerrilla; he is now the leader of the guerrillas."

"Varied……"

This time, Herag could no longer control his emotions, and he stood up from his chair.

He paced back and forth in the room for a long time before he came to his senses, his expression becoming very complicated.

“It was him?” Herag frowned and shook his head. “When they said the team leader was a Wendigo, I guessed his identity, but I never thought it would be him.”

"Of the dozen or so Wendigori in the Ursus Empire, I originally thought he was the least likely."

"I never expected it to be like this..."
