Talulah, I'm still a child.

"No……"

After carefully recalling it, Frostnova shook her head firmly, then seemed to have thought of something, and her mind suddenly exploded.

"Damn it! That old stubborn guy deliberately sent me away!"

She wondered why Patriots acted so strangely back then, as if it was already decided that Mudrock would go to Rhodes Island. It turns out that the old man really intended for Mudrock to go on a blind date with Mei Xue!

Although there were occasional rumors during this time that Patriot was arranging a marriage for someone, the Yeti team all guessed it must be Mei Xue, but Frostnova didn't expect him to be serious. What happened to keeping the good stuff in the family?

(Tsk, you just wait!)

If it weren't for the imminent capture of Chernobog, Frostnova would definitely have rushed to Patriot's side and asked him why he was trying to introduce May to someone. Aren't the three of them perfectly fine? Alina, Talulah, and Yelena are all good options, aren't they?

No wonder Patriots went to make arrangements this morning; it turns out he knew Talulah would come back and ask about it, so he got there first!

Meanwhile, Patriot, who was still thinking about how Mei Xue and Ni Yan were getting along, suddenly felt a chill down his spine, as if he sensed the malice from his adopted daughter. But he was just trying to keep the good stuff in the family. Ni Yan was such a nice girl, of course he wanted to introduce her to Mei Xue.

However, all personal matters had to be put aside for now. Looking at the once glorious city in front of him, Patriot glanced at the time. There was still half an hour until the agreed time, but he could already see the gates of Chernobog open.

Three days ago, Chernobog announced that it would no longer accept any outsiders. Many people could tell that the wind was blowing in the wrong direction, so they fled to other cities early on. For the Patriots, this was not a bad thing, at least it could avoid a lot of unnecessary casualties.

Those remaining in the city now, aside from the elderly, women, and children who are truly unable to leave, are mostly infected individuals and young people who support the Reunion Movement. Patriot is well aware of what will happen after they enter the city.

"Pass on my order: anyone who humiliates civilians, engages in plunder and looting, or violates military discipline shall be dealt with according to military law."

"Yes!"

The Shield Guards received orders. As the strongest shield of the Reunion Movement, they knew their duty was not just to protect their comrades, but to protect the residents of Chernobog. The attack was to be left to the Avengers.

As Patriot looked at the city, Kashena was also looking at the urban area below. The once bustling streets were now deserted, and every household had its doors and windows tightly shut. This was because she had deliberately spread the news that the Reunion Movement was attacking the area. When those smart enough discovered that the garrison had been transferred, they would soon realize that there was a conspiracy behind it.

Those who understand the times are wise; the integration movement will encounter much less resistance and its actions will proceed more smoothly.

Of course, this wasn't because Miss Black had communicated with the Reunion Movement in advance; it was just her own judgment that this was the right thing to do. Since the Reunion Movement and Ursus were about to break off relations anyway, it was better to minimize the losses on this side.

Moreover, her little fox is too kind-hearted. He can't wait for the Reunion Movement to take this place without bloodshed, so of course Miss Black Snake will do her best. She'll go find Mei Xue to ask for a reward later... Hehehe, she definitely can't let her little fox's first time go by!

Mei Xue in his dream was completely unaware of what was about to happen. He was just staring at Amaya, who had completely evolved, and was lost in thought. He had only one question in his mind: Who is this big sister?

Seeing that Mei Xue didn't seem to recognize her, Amaya scratched her head awkwardly. She knew that her new appearance was a bit unfamiliar to Mei Xue, since her upper body hadn't fully evolved last time. However, after the race name Siren was confirmed, the entire Siren began another transformation, and she also changed her appearance.

"Meixue, it's me..."

Because the little fox didn't like being called "master," Amaya and the others called him by his given name. Strictly speaking, this wasn't the little fox's real name, so they weren't afraid of being cursed for calling him that.

"Sister Amaya~ I almost don't recognize you anymore because you've changed so much."

Mei Xue circled around Amaya and found that she had indeed changed a lot, but her jellyfish-like original form was still visible. The little fox even sniffed her gently to confirm that it was Amaya.

Amaya found it a little strange that the little fox simply lay down on her and sniffed her. It wasn't that she was embarrassed; after all, even if Mei Xue wanted to do it to her right now, she would gladly accept and ask Mei Xue if she needed to call a few more people.

But how should I put it... I feel like this owner is so cute, I want to pet her a couple of times, but wouldn't that be too offensive? Besides, she didn't come here for this kind of thing.

"By the way, Master... Mei Xue, you know, could you give us some money?"

The excavation of the shipwreck will take time, the construction of the Sirens' base will require money, and Amaya also plans to buy some books to learn knowledge so that she can develop quickly and help Meixue in the future.

"Would LMD be acceptable?"

"It doesn't seem to be working out. Iberia isn't exactly a hard currency... Red Gold and Originium are the best we have."

Amaya scratched her head, feeling quite embarrassed. Asking Mei Xue for money was such a disgrace to the Sirens.

But before she could be shy for long, the little fox reached out and gently patted her shoulder.

"Have you seen enough of this?"

Amaya looked up and followed the direction Mei Xue was pointing. She found two piles of red gold and source stones in front of her, piled higher than her. Mei Xue had even thoughtfully loaded them into a truck for her.

"Looks like it's still not enough... Shall I get some more?"

Seeing that Mei Xue was about to unleash her money-printing power again, Amaya quickly grabbed his hand and shook her head, indicating that it wasn't necessary.

"That's enough, that's enough for now."

Although Amaya had long known that Mei Xue's abilities were unreasonable, she never expected them to be this unreasonable. Where did this money-printing machine come from?

Before she could say anything more, Mei Xue suddenly disappeared in front of her. Realizing that the dream was about to collapse, Amaya hurriedly pushed the truck back into her dream.

Mei Xue opened her eyes and saw Huang's confident and handsome face in front of her. He rubbed Mei Xue's head and smiled as he nuzzled her cheek.

"Mei Xue, we should get moving."

Four words: This is a first draft from a while ago, so the face shape looks a bit strange, but the clothing is the same as described. The artist is really amazing!

Of course, there's a second draft here, so please take a look. I'll send it to you all once the final version is out, hehe~

Chapter 179 The Doctor Girl Rises from the Coffin

The Reunion Movement has launched an attack on the city. This news would be a major event anywhere, and people should be panicking, fleeing or resisting. But in Chernobog, it's not like that at all.

When they heard that the Reunion Movement was attacking the city, their first thought was: Oh, so it really is today!

Then the second thing I thought about was what to eat for lunch today. To be honest, the second thing was probably more important.

Thanks to the continuous propaganda of the Reunion Movement during this period, as well as the cooperation of the Ursus radicals, the residents of Chernobog have long been accustomed to the existence of this group. Although in the early days everyone thought they were not good people, compared with the Ursus military and police, at least they were still human.

Later on, they gradually discovered that this so-called Integration Movement was actually quite good. At least every time they went there to listen to a lecture, they could get two eggs, and the elderly could have their blood pressure and blood sugar checked for free.

Even if they don't feel the same urge to run into the streets to welcome the integration movement as those infected people and young students, at least they won't be hostile. Well, this is mainly because they can't beat them, and there's no need for that; they're not stealing anything.

Thanks to Ursus's great lack of virtue, compared to them, the Reunion Movement seemed far too kind and approachable. Apart from a very small number of residents, the rest of the people still in the city were quite welcoming to them.

Even after learning that today was the day the Reunion Movement would be attacking the city, all shopping malls were closed, everyone had to stay at home, and there wasn't a single car on the streets.

"This... we just took this city like that?"

The Kingslayer was somewhat bewildered. According to her plan, she should have led the team to infiltrate and destroy the city's power supply facilities first, then lower the city gates, and then Patriot would lead the team to charge forward from the front, while Frostnova and Sasha would lead the team to flank and wipe out the remaining forces.

The battlefield should have been filled with the sounds of gunfire and the smoke of battle, but now she wondered if she was dreaming. The city gates opened by themselves, and as they walked in, they didn't encounter a single person who tried to stop them. There were even many people holding lunch, leaning against the windows or standing at their doorsteps watching the spectacle.

This is a siege, this is war, but why does it seem like the people of Chernobog are used to it?

"That's actually quite normal. At least compared to the Ursus army, which is always ready to rob, we are more disciplined. And... I heard that this city has been conducting a simulation exercise on 'what if the Reunion Movement invades' for three consecutive days."

That being said, the Patriots themselves did not expect that the siege would be easier than taking candy from a baby. They simply swaggered in, and the garrison was truly wiped out.

Although it was unclear which brilliant organization had orchestrated this, the three-day "siege" exercise had indeed significantly reduced people's anxiety. Patriot speculated that the Ursus radicals were probably helping them behind the scenes, but were those guys really that stupid?

However, upon closer examination, it's not impossible. This city was simply a sacrifice thrown out without a second thought. Ursus simply used it as a pawn. Not only were all the garrison troops withdrawn, but as agreed, a lot of weapons were also secretly hidden away. Those were originally weapons used by radical nobles to support the Integration Movement and Victoria to instigate trouble. It's a good thing they can just take them.

"If we were to launch a normal siege..."

"Yes, if we don't deploy our high-speed warships, we'll have to paralyze the entire city as planned under the cover of natural disaster."

"and then?"

The regicide looked at the tall old man. She still remembered his kind appearance when he sat by the field looking at the wheat, which was completely different from his current grim demeanor.

"I will lead the charge."

Patriot slammed his shield to the ground, then turned and raised his spear. All the shield bearers and avengers understood that this was an instruction to proceed with the next step of the plan, and they all took out a snow-white cloth strip from their pockets and tied it to their hands as identification.

"Now, it's time to purge those cancerous elements lurking in the team."

Compared to the Ursus military and police, the biggest threat comes from the spies planted within the Reunion Movement by the radicals and the Ursus army lurking in the city. However, their existence has long been secretly exposed to the Reunion Movement by Miss Black Serpent. Therefore, this siege is itself a purge of internal forces, equivalent to the first step in drawing a line between the Reunion Movement and the Ursus radicals.

With Patriot's command, the Ursus troops hidden within the city suddenly found themselves exposed to the sunlight. Many were killed before they could react. The Ursus troops hidden in the city also realized something was wrong and immediately organized a counterattack.

"Damn it, what is the Reunion Movement doing? We're not the Ursus garrison!"

"Quickly, connect me to City Hall! Kashena... Kashena, where are you?!"

Hearing the first cannon shot outside, Kasena put down her nail clippers, got up and went to the window to look at the increasingly chaotic city outside. The citizens who thought the Reunion Movement would peacefully take over the city all hid back in their homes. Kasena deliberately arranged the Ursus army in the sparsely populated newly developed area to avoid harming innocent people.

However, this should make Ursus realize that there is something wrong with her, this black snake. She can only help the Reunion Movement to this extent. But it's not a big problem. From now on, she will follow Mei Xue. Ursus can only pray for good luck.

"Heh heh~ Let's go~"

Kicking aside the corpse of the watcher lying by the door, Kashina picked up her small bag and left cheerfully. She estimated that it would take the inner guards some time to realize that the biggest mole was this black snake. It must have been quite tiring to secretly use her abilities to influence the consciousness of these guys and make them ignore the various illogical aspects of the plan.

The peaceful city was suddenly shattered by an unexpected explosion. The residents all instinctively went home to hide, having practiced the drills for three days and gained some experience.

It was at this moment that the inner guards lurking in the city finally realized the absurdity of the plan. They were surprised that they had only discovered the various inconsistencies now, and immediately realized that the problem lay with Miss Black Serpent, because she was the will of Ursus, and everyone believed that she could not possibly betray Ursus.

But she orchestrated this whole plan!

"Damn it, this is just a cover!"

The guard reviewed the events in his mind and realized that it could only be Miss Black Snake who betrayed everyone, because she was the highest-ranking commander in the entire plan, and she must have used her mental abilities, which made the guards unguarded.

"So you mean..."

"Ah, that little fox and Rhodes Island have no intention of coming here. She's just trying to find an excuse to get us out of the way... Ouch—we've been tricked! We need to go back and find her!"

Sensing something was wrong, the guards made a swift retreat. Upon reflection, it seemed to make sense; this core functional area, which had been closed off for years, was completely empty. Rhodes Island couldn't possibly have come to cut off the power to the entire city, could they? Damn it, we've been tricked!

However, less than three minutes after the guards left, Amiya's voice suddenly came from the passage.

"Brother Meixue, are you sure this is the right way?"

"Yes, definitely!"

The little fox swayed its tail and led everyone forward through twists and turns. For its safety, Mud Rock and Huang stayed by its side the whole time, but Mei Xue herself was not nervous at all. She even leisurely ate an apple and sang a song.

"Mei Xue, have you been to this place before? How can you be so sure?"

"Because it's written over there."

Faced with everyone's doubts, Mei Xue pointed to the ground at the intersection. Amiya and the others had been too wary of their surroundings and hadn't even noticed the sticker on the ground. It looked newly put up, with an arrow pointing in a direction and a line of text next to it: "Mei Xue, remember to go this way. The other end is a dead end."

"This is okay?"

Amiya's lips twitched. Although she had always known that Mei Xue was lucky, wasn't this a bit too much? Even if you led everyone to the place in a daze, that would be one thing, but why did someone even put up road signs?

"It's Sister Black Snake~"

Mei Xue took a bite of the apple. Of course, he couldn't mistake the familiar handwriting. It was Miss Black Snake's handwriting, and the arrow must have been drawn by Sister Kashena, whose handwriting was even better.

The name "Black Snake" puzzled everyone, but a faint pink light flashed in Amiya's eyes. It was clear that Theresa knew about Black Snake, but she didn't expect that Black Snake would also help Mei Xue.

Actually, this was also Miss Black Snake's arrangement. She deliberately timed it perfectly, letting the guards lie in ambush here first. After her scheme was exposed, these brainless people would think it was just a diversionary tactic. However, Mei Xue would really take this route, but the guards would subconsciously assume that this place was safe, thus ensuring the little fox's safety.

Led by Mei Xue, the group soon arrived at their destination. Needless to say, the first thing that caught their eye was the enormous stone coffin, connected to by countless pipes that delivered energy to every corner of the city's core. Looking at the thick layer of dust around them, it was hard to imagine that no one had been here for a long time.

"This thing alone can supply energy to the entire city?"
