Ark Undead

Finally, Broken Bones couldn't hold back any longer and shouted.

"Don't move! Misha!"

When Misha heard the voice, she was stunned for a moment. Just as she was about to ask why she knew her name, she saw that silver-white hair was faintly visible under the tattered coat.

Misha paused, and asked incredulously.

"Alex?!"

Broken Bones remained silent. He hugged Misha tighter and turned to run into the deep alley.

This was an alleyway where they had already prepared for their evacuation during the operation. If the enemy dared to pursue them into this place, they would inevitably be bombed by the explosives that W had laid in advance.

Whether we can temporarily shake off the cops behind us depends on this!

Chen Yuhuang was still hot on their heels, chasing after the Broken Bones. The moment they turned into the alley, an explosion rang out.

boom!

A blinding flash of light and a massive amount of explosives blasted through the houses on both sides, and bricks and rubble rained down, burying Huang and Chen.

W glanced down at the rooftop, chuckled softly, then turned back to look at the shadow hidden in the darkness on the other side of the moonlight.

"Alright, stop hiding. I know you're here. Don't worry, their skills are too good to just blow them up directly. There won't be any problems."

"..."

However, there was no response, as if W was putting on a one-man show.

"Okay, okay, nothing will change, and you won't say a word. I know, I knew it all along."

W sighed, and at the same moment she sighed, she suddenly raised the heavy crossbow in her right hand and fired a bolt in the opposite direction.

At the same time, she jumped off the building and disappeared into the ruins.

On the other side, the crossbow bolt struck the wall. The moment it hit the wall, the light on the bolt changed from green to red, and then exploded on the wall the next second.

Amid the explosion, a figure slipped out from behind the wall. He was wearing a Rhodes Island operator's uniform and was none other than Scout, who had been silently hiding nearby.

He deliberately revealed his presence so that W would notice his location, and at the same time, to test which side W was currently on.

Scout glanced one last time in the direction W had left, then vanished completely in the moonlight.

231. If you're going to fight, then fight. Why are you kneeling down?

Since W made the deal with Scout and others, he has not contacted Rhodes Island again.

On the contrary, if Kal'tsit hadn't always believed that W, having stated she wouldn't attack Rhodes Island, would definitely not have done so, then everyone would probably have thought that W was on the side of Reunion.

However, what happened in Lungmen today made everyone realize that they had a friend within the enemy ranks.

The fact that Chen and Hoshiguma were almost unharmed in several explosions is already outrageous, making one wonder about the Reunion Movement's explosive calculation capabilities.

Moreover, after Rhodes Island arrived in Lungmen, W was the first to deliver a message to Rhodes Island.

However, W himself was not present; instead, he communicated with Rhodes Island through Ines, who was part of the Rhodes Island team.

It was because of W that everyone learned that there were actually two leaders of the Reunion Movement who came to Lungmen this time, not including W.

Moreover, it is expected that another leader of the Reunion Movement will arrive at Rhodes Island tonight to ensure everyone's evacuation.

Meanwhile, W also used a communication device to have a brief five-minute conversation with Kal'tsit.

After the talks concluded, Kal'tsit officially began making contact with Lungmen.

Scout followed W not only to determine which side she was on, but also to provide her with cover and ensure she wouldn't be targeted by the Reunion Movement.

After all, W's rapid rise through the ranks within the Reunion Movement was truly astonishing. Even though she had already impressed many members of the Reunion Movement with her abilities.

Of course, W's situation isn't the main point; the main point is what W plans to do now.

Although she is not on the side of the Reunion Movement, W is still doing things her own way. No one can predict what she wants to do, and even Kal'tsit remains silent.

Just like now, if W is truly on Rhodes Island's side, then she shouldn't continue covering for Bonecrusher and Kingslayer. Instead, she should join forces with Rhodes Island and the Lungmen Guard to arrest Bonecrusher and Kingslayer.

But she still helped Broken Bones escape, buying him time.

It's important to understand that the key is the most crucial element in this incident. Only by ensuring that the Reunion Movement doesn't obtain it can the situation be resolved perfectly.

But then another question arises: why doesn't W help Rhodes Island at this time?

Broken Bones turned several corners and stopped behind a small alley. He gently put Misha down from his arms and then took off his hood.

After confirming that the girl in front of him was his older sister, Suigu couldn't help but reminisce about the past.

Misha would often stand in front of him back then. After all, girls mature faster than boys. Having an older sister who always stood up for him must feel really good.

But an accident separated everyone; Broken Bones and Misha were separated for several years.

During this time, Shattered Bones joined the Reunion Movement, vowing to make those who persecuted the Infected pay the price.

Misha, on the other hand, became a child who relied on the kindness of many families for food.

Misha had been supported by her father's former friends and occasionally did odd jobs. She lived like this for several years until now, and when she met her younger brother again, she still found it hard to believe.

"My God... Alex?! How could you be... how could you be the leader of Reunion?!"

"Isn't this something that should have happened, sister?"

Broken Bones shrugged and reached out to help Misha up from where she was sitting on the ground.

“You should know that my life is not the same as yours. If it weren’t for Chief Talulah, I would be a corpse by now.”

Misha was momentarily speechless. Shattered Bones was definitely not lying. This meant Shattered Bones was indeed an infected person and owed the leader of the Reunion Movement a debt of gratitude for saving his life.

“Now listen to me, Misha.”

Broken Bones squatted down, now in line with Misha, who had just sat up.

"I need the key you have. If anyone has asked you to keep it, give it to me now. I will take you away from here, and once everything is over, I will introduce you to many good friends."

“Alex…”

Misha looked at her younger brother in front of her, and after a moment of pause, she shook her head.

"Alex, tell me the truth, what do you want the key for? Hasn't Reunion already taken over Chernobog? Leaving so many people homeless, isn't it because they want to occupy Chernobog and make it their home? Why do you need the key? Where are you taking Chernobog?"

"..."

Broken Bones fell silent; he didn't know whether he should speak or not.

But the person squatting in front of him was none other than Misha, his long-lost sister.

Even though they hadn't seen each other for years, a single glance, a familiar face, a familiar tone—just one look was enough to confirm their familial bond.

And from then on, they went down two different paths.

"We will use the Chernobog power plant to ram the gantry."

Broken Bones revealed the plan anyway, because he didn't want to lie to his sister.

"Beat the Dragon Gate?!"

Misha's face turned deathly pale, and she asked in a panic.

"But...won't the collision of Ursus's mobile city-state with Lungmen trigger a conflict between the two nations?"

"What we need is conflict. Without conflict, it will be difficult for infected people to enjoy their normal rights."

Suigu didn't expect her sister to understand her. After all, they had gone down two completely different paths in life after they were separated years ago.

"Think about it, why are we being persecuted? Why did Mom and Dad die at the hands of the Ursus authorities?"

"Just because we are infected? I'm afraid it's not that simple. How could a simple illness cause such a huge panic? Take those guys at Rhodes Island, for example. Aren't they an organization of infected people? Why would Lungmen be willing to cooperate with Rhodes Island?"

Shattered Bones' thinking was inconsistent with his appearance; at least for this moment, his thoughts had transcended his age.

"Because we are infected people born in Ursus, a country that is corrupt and backward. They use infected people as a tool to vent their frustrations on ordinary people, allowing ordinary people to oppress us, and the authorities also persecute us."

"But what is the reality? Even if the infected do pose a risk of spreading Oripathy, our power far surpasses that of ordinary people. They fear not only the disease itself, but also our power—an inexplicable strength."

Misha blinked, her face showing both panic and a hint of understanding.

Yes, Broken Bones is right. Ursus does indeed regard the infected as the lowest of the low. In the strict Ursus hierarchy, the infected are prominently located at the very bottom.

Ironically, those who mine for Ursus and drive the grassroots work in Ursus are the infected, who are seen as slaves to be manipulated at will.

"But...but..."

Misha thought for a moment, then asked again.

"If war breaks out between the two countries, won't even more people be separated and displaced?! And will this really help those infected? Nobody benefits from war."

"Yes, Misha, more people will indeed be separated and displaced. But when the strength of any one side is insufficient to stabilize the country's external wars, the infected become a force that cannot be ignored, do you understand?"

Shattered Bones' tone was full of hope; he seemed to have already seen that future.

"When the infected discover the immense value of their own power, and how formidable they are when they come together, then we infected can truly stand tall. That is the goal of the Reunion Movement: to help all infected understand the gift they possess."

"As for the more people being displaced?"

Shattered Bones sneered and said coldly.

"These civilians who haven't contracted Oripathy, don't they all treat us like monsters? Since they hate the infected so much, what's wrong with letting them taste the pain we went through when we stand up?"

Shattered Bones' words are selfish, but also realistic.

This was originally a war between two different groups of people.

"The infected will join us, and the civilians will understand just how valuable our power really is."

"Struggle is precisely what allows people to fully understand where they stand. Those infected also need to struggle; struggle is needed to awaken their minds."

"Revenge is the goal, not the end result. And now, we're just missing that final step—your key. Misha, give me the key!"

Broken Bones looked intently at Misha. He didn't want to force himself on his sister, but if Misha didn't cooperate...

As expected, after hearing Broken Bones' thoughts, Misha first tried to take a step back, but ended up hitting the wall.

What Broken Bones said made a lot of sense; at least, Misha thought Broken Bones might be right.

But she dared not think about what would happen if she really handed over the key.

What would happen if Chernobog's core city clashed with Lungmen City?

How many people will die because of this key, and what kind of casualties will the ensuing war bring?
