Ark Undead

This is Lin Yuxia's Originium Arts, which allows her to control mud and sand, and to convert mud and sand into glass.

In other words, whether it's wilderness or city, as long as there's glass and mud, Lin Yuxia's abilities can be put to use.

Chen raised her eyebrows; she seemed too lazy to waste words with Lin Yuxia.

"Attention all personnel! Anyone blocking the way under the pretext of obstructing military exercises may be arrested! Move out!"

As she spoke, Chen was the first to rush forward. She placed her hand on the hilt of the Chixiao sword, but did not intend to draw it.

Upon hearing Chen's command, both sides charged forward simultaneously, and just as they were about to collide, a fierce firefight ensued.

Lin Yuxia was the first to rush forward, raising the glass knife in her hand.

At the moment of impact, Chen shifted his position to the side, grabbed Lin Yuxia's shoulder, and tried to throw her over his shoulder.

But Lin Yuxia seemed to have anticipated this situation. After being thrown over by Chen, she rolled on the ground with her body, which she had prepared for, and kicked out, sending Chen flying into a shop to the side.

Chen lost his balance due to the force of the impact and tumbled into the roller shutter door. Then, a long glass knife came straight at him.

She focused her attention and rolled to the side, watching as the glass blade slashed through the roller shutter door.

Lin Yuxia continued to slash the shutter door several times, completely tearing it apart, before kicking Chen in the chest.

Chen only had time to cover his chest with his hands before Lin Yuxia kicked him into the roller shutter door.

Then, Lin Yuxia rushed in with a knife.

Seeing this, the doctor next to him seemed to realize something, and carrying a stool, he also stormed through the gap and rushed in.

"PhD!"

Amiya was terrified when she saw the Doctor acting so impulsively, and quickly reached out to stop him.

Given the doctor's small stature and limited knowledge of tactical command, it's questionable whether he could survive if he charged into the front lines.

Amiya's attempt failed; the Doctor caught her hand and then knelt down, whispering something in her ear.

Amiya's expression gradually changed from anxious to blank, before returning to normal.

After the Doctor finished speaking, Amiya simply nodded solemnly to him.

The doctor reached out and ruffled Amiya's hair again, then grabbed the stool beside him and rushed through the roller shutter door.

"You scoundrel! Give me back Inspector Chen!"

Bang! The stool bumped into the corner of the roller shutter door, causing the doctor to lean back involuntarily.

After being bumped, the professor scratched his head awkwardly, then found an angle to scoop the stool in first, and then carefully crawled in himself.

Amiya watched from the side, wanting to laugh but feeling that laughing now might be a bit inappropriate, so she could only cover her mouth and secretly chuckle.

On the other side, the shadowy figure observing the situation below from the second or third floor of the two buildings immediately drew the curtains after seeing Chen being kicked inside by Lin Yuxia.

What he wanted to see had already happened. As long as these two were still fighting here, it meant that the Guard Bureau and the Rat King had already started fighting.

Once they start acting, we'll have a chance to take action.

"Chief, I saw with my own eyes that the Rat King's girl was fighting with that Officer Chen. The Guard Bureau's men and the Rat King's men were also fighting here. There shouldn't be any problems in the short term."

He sent a voice message into the communicator in his hand. Not long after, he heard a voice message coming back from the other end.

"Okay, tell the brothers to get ready, bypass their fighting area, and search the locations we've identified over the past few days one by one."

"Yes!"

The shadowy figure nodded, turned around, opened the door to the room, peeked into the hallway outside which seemed empty, and then left the building with its head down.

The doctor, who had thrown the stool in first, entered the shop and, as expected, saw the exact same scene he had anticipated.

Chen was pulled up from the ground by Lin Yuxia, and the two were talking against the wall.

Hearing someone come in, the two of them instinctively put their hands on each other's arms, pretending to be fighting.

"Alright, alright, stop pretending. I know your playing style is off. Come in and take a look."

The professor placed a stool next to the roller shutter door and then plopped down on it.

"Alright, you two talk. I'll just sit here and listen to you talk. I can also help you find out what's going on outside and let you know as soon as there's anything."

Lin Yuxia looked at the guy hiding in the protective suit, raised an eyebrow, and turned to look at Chen standing opposite her.

"Are you from the Guard Bureau? Or are you mercenaries they hired?"

"They could be considered mercenaries, but if we're being strict, they're Rhodes Island people."

Chen was well aware of the doctor's reputation, and the doctor's tactical command in the Guard Bureau also made Chen quite fond of him.

Rhodes Island?

Lin Yuxia seemed to have heard of Rhode Island before, and she looked over curiously.

"That pharmaceutical company?"

"Yes, although it's ostensibly a pharmaceutical company, it's actually a ruthless manufacturer that does everything. They take care of everything from security and technological research to even the placement of infected people."

Chen shrugged and then steered the conversation back on track.

"This is the Doctor, you may have heard of him, but that's not important, he won't reveal our plans. Let's get back to what happened between us. How exactly did the Rat King make his preparations? Lord Wei Yanwu hasn't contacted him for a week as agreed. Besides, the people from Da Yan are here these days, so he can't get away for the time being. I'll relay the message for him."

The doctor listened, nodding slightly.

As Kal'tsit predicted, the Rat King and Wei Yanwu weren't enemies, but rather in some kind of cooperative relationship. And judging from their conversation, it seemed their positions were actually equal?

“My father has been searching in the slums for a long time, and we’ve caught a few Reunion Movement members. But none of them know what the Reunion Movement leaders are looking for. Until two days ago, our informant saw some strangely dressed people going around asking if anyone had seen a little girl near the abandoned factory.”

Lin Yuxia glanced at Chen and then gestured to the area above Chen's neck.

"About this height."

"A little girl? What do they want with a little girl?"

Chen thought about it with some doubt, and could only come up with two guesses.

"Either this little girl possesses something very important, or the value she represents is significant. But she's just a little girl..."

"Let's take a long-term view."

The doctor suddenly spoke up at this moment.

Immediately, both of them turned their gaze to the doctor sitting on the other side of the roller shutter.

The doctor rested his elbows on his thighs, clasped his hands together, and placed them in front of his nose.

"Why did they occupy Chernobog? Why was Chernobog's core city separated? Now the refugees have come to Lungmen, so why are they looking for refugees in Lungmen again?"

The doctor's voice seemed to open up a new direction for the two of them.

At that moment, both of them thought of a possibility.

"Damn it, could it be related to the core city?!"

"The key to unlocking the core city's power furnace?!"

Both of them realized the crux of the problem at the same time.

The doctor then spoke up.

"If you're looking for little girls, I have seen quite a few in Lungmen. But they were all refugees, and specifically refugees with obvious Chernobog features, plus that height."

The doctor stood up from his chair and said.

"I think I actually saw one. Come to think of it, she even ate one of my oranges?"

...

While the Guardians were fighting the Rat King's forces, Amsor was still running around the slums looking for things.

She had heard the announcements from the National Guard along the way, saying that the National Guard was putting on a show and that unrelated people should stay at home and not go out unnecessarily.

Even so, she still saw some people lingering in corners or alleyways, and others quietly leaving through open doors.

Just as she finished searching the location and was leaving the alley, she couldn't see clearly and seemed to bump into someone.

When she looked up, she saw a girl hiding herself under a tattered outer robe.

Her eyes were emerald green, she had snow-white hair, and two small, round ears on her head, symbolizing the Ursus race.

She was knocked to the ground by An Suo and then looked up at An Suo in front of her.

His eyes were filled with fear and panic.

225. Serial terrorist attacks

No one can predict whether an accident or hope will come first. For example, An Suo had no idea what kind of incredible luck he had stumbled upon.

She simply reached out her hand to the little girl on the ground, and then saw the little girl take two steps back in a panic. Only then did she notice the somewhat bewildered look in An Suo's eyes.

What's wrong? Why are you so afraid of me just because I reached out my hand? Am I that scary?

The little girl immediately realized that this was probably not a deliberate encounter, but a coincidence.

"Thank you."

Then, she grasped the hand that An Suo offered, and with An Suo's help, she stood up from the ground.

"No! I should be saying sorry."

Unlike before, An Suo didn't run away immediately after something went wrong. Firstly, because she knew she had made a mistake.

Another thing is, this is a little girl! She won't just punch someone like those big men do.

"Judging from your appearance, you must have just arrived from Chernobog, right?"

Anso noticed the little girl's attire and her panicked, disoriented appearance. These were all signs of a Chernobog refugee.

They had nowhere to live in Lungmen, and were completely helpless in the face of the Guard Bureau's stay-at-home order.

"Ah...yes."

The little girl nodded, then glanced back nervously, as if worried about something.

An Suo noticed her panic and immediately comforted her.

"Don't worry, this place is still far from the Guard Bureau, and those cops won't get here so quickly. You should find a place to hide!"

An Suo chuckled as she spoke to the little girl, and at that moment she suddenly felt like a really good person.
