Doctor, I'm really strong!

Section 2: Dr. Invincible's First Battle

Dobermann brought bad news: ACE's squad had been surrounded by the Reunion Movement.

Hey, hey, hey, this script isn't right! You said ACE was coming to pick me up, but you got surrounded first.

That's not surprising. The real battlefield is constantly changing; it's not a game, and the characters don't follow the storyline.

Liu Jiuli felt that his first-mover advantage in the world had been irreversibly shaken, but he still felt that the problem was not a big deal.

"From now on, I'll take over command. Is that alright?"

Amiya paused for a moment, then nodded and said, "No problem, Doctor, please give the order."

"You all go to elevator area number six and wait for my signal. Do not act without my orders, understand?"

"Yes, Doctor, and what about you?"

"I will personally oversee the next phase of the layout; you will simply await further orders."

"But what if it's just the doctor alone..."

"Don't worry." Liu Jiuli turned around, opening and closing his hands: "No one understands the plan better than me. Remember, this is part of the plan. Don't do anything to harm your teammates."

"I understand, but Doctor, your health..."

Before he finished speaking, Liu Jiuli had already disappeared, leaving everyone bewildered.

"Amiya, are you sure the Doctor has just woken up from a long sleep?"

"Well, that's what Dr. Kal'tsit said..."

"Then why do I feel that he has more energy than any of us?"

"..."

We can't exactly say the PhD student is crazy, can we? Seriously, are PhD students these days really without problems? Are they capable of giving orders to others?

“Let’s follow them,” Doberman said.

Amiya hesitated for a moment, but still said, "The Doctor must have his reasons. We will follow the Doctor's orders."

"Alright, everyone move to elevator area number six!"

With the help of the system map, Liu Jiuli, who charged out alone, located the positions of the ACE team and the Scout team. Coincidentally, these were supposed to be two separate teams in the story, but now they were able to join forces.

The map features three colors: red, blue, and green. Green represents neutral forces, red represents enemies, and blue represents allies. It also offers a first-person navigation perspective and a God's-eye view similar to real-time strategy games, ensuring that Liu Jiuli won't get lost in this chaotic city.

The system was honest enough to give her all the remaining power and even granted her access. Now Liu Jiuli could use all the system functions at will, and the joy she felt was indescribable.

The battle plan was formulated.

"First, get our own people out of there and move them to elevator zone number six, then..."

"Who goes there!"

"Stop! Don't run!"

"Get lost! I'm on my way!"

Liu Jiuli charged through the Reunion Movement's barricades like a human tank, leaving behind hundreds of Reunion Movement members who were sent flying and gaps in the barricades where human shapes could be vaguely discerned.

"Report! This is Sector Three! Someone has broken out of here!"

"I see it, just leave it to me."

At that moment, on a high platform not far away, Faust, holding a sniper crossbow, saw the figure rushing wildly down the street.

"Yes!"

The one who replied was Faust, whose reliability index was among the top three in the Integration Movement. The squad leader thought there was no problem.

As the communication ended, Faust's crosshairs were also aimed at that person.

Then the other party suddenly made a 90-degree turn and charged directly in his direction.

Faust was shocked: I've been discovered!

No, no, no. Although Liu Jiuli knew there was an enemy here, he didn't know who that enemy was. He chose this route simply because the shortest distance between two points is a straight line. Taking this route would allow him to quickly meet up with ACE and Scout; Faust just happened to be blocking his way.

With the crossbow at maximum power, Faust pulled the trigger.

The crossbow bolt hit its target precisely, then bounced off.

We couldn't penetrate their armor!

The moment the crossbow bolt was deflected, Liu Jiuli realized that he had been hit by the enemy's ranged attack, but it didn't hurt him much.

At the same time, an attack route was clearly displayed on the system map, informing Liu Jiuli which enemy was attacking him.

"Since you're right in my path, I might as well take care of you while I'm at it!"

Liu Jiuli casually grabbed a road roller from the roadside ruins!

"Takizawa Laura!"

Rejoice! This is the kind of treatment only the invincible Jotaro receives.

This was the first and perhaps the only time in Faust's life that he had ever seen such a terrifying enemy. Not only could it withstand his sniper crossbow's armor-piercing arrows, but it could also launch a counterattack while wielding a steamroller. This was not the kind of thing a normal human being should be like.

With a tremendous crash, Faust was forced to leave the high point. At the same time, Liu Jiuli smashed through the building, and the clock tower, which was already teetering on the brink of collapse due to the previous meteorite disaster, finally gave way.

"Tsk, still alive. Looks like I'll have to deal with him."

The map showed that the sniper was still alive, so Liu Jiuli decisively turned towards him.

A sniper on the battlefield is a threat. He himself is not afraid, but after rescuing ACE and the others, his teammates will become the enemy's sniper targets. In order to prevent the rescue operation from becoming a line of suicides, the sniper must die.

Faust watched as his enemies charged towards him like chariots, a thousand curses running through his mind like a stampede across the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. The enemy had clearly locked onto him long ago—how did they do that? His Originium Arts hadn't failed!

There was no other way but to retreat. A sniper whose position was exposed was in danger because the enemy would do everything in their power to kill you.

If Liu Jiuli had a Shileqi River tank right now, he would immediately let the enemy experience a hail of 23mm bullets, a weapon highly recommended by Russian soldiers for counter-sniping.

Unfortunately, I don't have any, so I can only keep everything simple.

Thus, Faust was subjected to a barrage of attacks from cars, vans, jeeps, and buses—literally, a barrage. Liu Jiuli used these parked vehicles as excellent projectile weapons. Faced with such a Hulk-like enemy, Faust had no choice but to flee in panic, while simultaneously alerting nearby allies:

"There is an enhanced Originium Arts artist in Area C. If your team encounters him, do not engage him in battle. You are no match for him!"

"You've gone too far to catch up with in a short time, so I'll let you go for now."

"Congratulations to the collaborator for winning the victory and gaining the ability—mind control."

"That's it for completing a task? By the way, how did you generate this task?"

"Randomly generated based on the collaborator's current environment."

"Okay, although I don't know what happened..." Liu Jiuli felt his spirit extend outward, easily enveloping a car next to him. Then, the car seemed to be grabbed by an invisible hand, began to twist and deform, and finally became a pile of scrap metal. Liu Jiuli looked at his results and nodded in satisfaction.

This is mind control, without the limitations of Magneto. You can do whatever you want, and the extended mental power becomes your invisible trump card, causing your enemies to die unexpectedly without even realizing it.

Great system, I give you a thumbs up.

"But it works quite well."

Now we have ranged attacks too! Hang in there, ACE! I'm coming to your rescue right away!

Section 3: Talulah attacks in Gundam form, and Talulah types "GG".

ACE and Scout are facing a major crisis.

They were made into dumplings.

With such a small group, it would be strange if they weren't surrounded and wiped out, especially since Frostnova is in charge of this area. Although she doesn't have formal training, her command abilities are undeniable, thanks to her experience with her adoptive father, Patriot. With the cooperation of the Yeti squad and countless cannon fodder around them, running away is just a pipe dream.

“It looks like we can’t escape,” Scout said while wiping the device.

They had just fought a fairly successful ambush. The enemy suffered heavy casualties and dared not approach any further. However, they had also used up a lot of ammunition, and the mages were exhausted. If the enemy launched another large-scale charge, the defense line would collapse sooner or later.

"I hope Amiya and the others have successfully completed their mission..."

Due to the Originium disaster, the entire Chernobog communication system was severely disrupted. ACE was unaware of the whereabouts of his other personnel, but there was one thing he was very clear about.

As long as they stay here, they will attract many Reunion Movement members, creating opportunities for other teams.

"Big sister, the enemy is more tenacious than we imagined."

"I saw it, but they are also at their last gasp. One more attack and it will be over."

Froststar lowered her telescope; her side was ready to launch an attack.

These strangers entered Chernobog for some unknown reason. They weren't exactly enemies; in fact, judging from their behavior, they wouldn't take a hostile stance unless the Reunion Movement launched an attack.

However, given the Reunion Movement's level of organization in such a chaotic situation, it would be impossible to avoid conflict, especially after learning that the other party is also infected; such anger can even surge.

Infected people are attacking other infected people! You traitors!

It no longer matters who fired the first shot. Now that things have progressed this far, Frostnova, as a member of the Reunion Movement, must take action and resolutely eliminate this enemy.

"Little rabbit~ Do you need my help?"

The newcomer's words were full of frivolity, and Froststar knew who it was without even turning around.

W, the leader of the Sarkaz mercenaries who operates alongside the Reunion Movement.

"W, have you finished your work over there?"

"I guess it's over. I just happened to be passing by. But your progress isn't looking too good."

"It will be over soon."

"That's perfect, I have some manpower on my side, let's do it together."

"You're actually being so proactive?"

Froststar looked at W suspiciously. This guy who was paid to do things was actually willing to take initiative. Had the sun risen in the west?

"Don't forget, the boss (Talulah) pays wages based on the results of battles. I'd be happy to get some results from you."

"Then the attack on the north is entrusted to you."

"Do not worry!"

W was playing with a grenade with a smile on her face, but only she knew what she was thinking.

"Is this all that's left?"
