"It tastes so good!"

Amiya squinted her eyes contentedly, the scent of longing filling her nostrils, making her feel almost melt in an instant.

“Ah, I have something important to say.” Amiya wiped the drool from the corner of her mouth and said earnestly, “Doctor! Dr. Kal'tsit said we did a great job dealing with the Ursus delegation! She praised us! She praised us!! Also, Dr. Kal'tsit told us to prepare to depart for—”

"Dragon Gate!"

Chapter 160 What is the evil spirit of the Tower of Babel?

"Doctor, under your command, we were able to return to Rhodes Island with minimal casualties during our previous rescue operation in Chernobog. In this operation, we obtained a considerable amount of intelligence about the Reunion Movement, and considering that you secretly went to the upper city of Chernobog without informing me beforehand..."

Amiya's smile turned sinister for a moment, but quickly returned to normal, which frightened Lin.

"The intelligence resources we have obtained are quite considerable. According to the results of Dr. Kal'tsit's talks in Lungmen, Lungmen has sent us a cooperation framework agreement, agreeing to exchange intelligence with us. In the past few days, there have been quite obvious signs that the Reunion Movement regards Lungmen as its next target. Recently, another group of Chernobog survivors were discovered in the wasteland. They are heading to Lungmen and are expected to arrive this afternoon. There is a high probability that there are Reunion Movement spies among this group."

Amiya effortlessly summoned the tactical virtual sandbox in the Doctor's office. The data recorded on the Noah Heavy Machine and the Bad Guy had already been connected to the virtual tactical sandbox via the PRTS system for updating, simulating a larger-scale map.

Amiya skillfully marked the newly discovered Chernobog survivors and their routes, enriching the information on the sand table.

Before she knew it, this girl from Cats had developed the demeanor of a leader, poised, calm, and collected.

"Doctor, the intelligence you provided to Dr. Kal'tsit regarding Chernobog, and the mobile city construction plans Mr. Hrag obtained through the Azazel intelligence network, allow us to deduce that Chernobog, originally an industrial city, lacked resources, especially food. After the natural disaster, Chernobog's food supplies became even scarcer. Furthermore, the experiences of the girls you rescued, Doctor, also align with our suspicions..."

Amiya sounded slightly disappointed, but she quickly cheered up.

At least on Rhodes Island, the bears won't go hungry or cold!

"After Reunion occupied the core city of Chernobog, they restarted the blocked signal towers and began recruiting infected people from all over the world. The capture of Chernobog was just the first step for Reunion. They are not playing house. Reunion really wants to do something... or rather..." Amiya said with some grit, "Reunion wants to divide all the oppressed infected people into their own camp in order to gain military strength."

Lin Lu nodded slowly; he understood what Amiya meant.

Hrag said calmly, "Not everyone can master Originium Arts, but every infected person can use Originium Arts. That might be a bit inaccurate, but even the person with the weakest mental strength will be disturbed by endless incessant babbling and unable to sleep the day they are infected with Oripathy. When the fusion rate between the body's cells and Originium reaches 100%, the entire person will transform into a highly radioactive mineral crystal. Every Oripathy infected person is a walking biological weapon."

After saying that, Hrag gently covered the crystallized Originium lesions on his body, the source of his nightmares.

Even though the density of Originium crystals in the blood within Hrag's body was still within a controllable range, he had imagined the day when he would become a humanoid mineral statue.

I hope that I can still strike a good pose then.

"The army moves only when the supplies are ready. We must guard against famine every year and against thieves every night."

Lin Lu scrolled through the Chernobog core area marked on the virtual tactical sandbox, feeling puzzled and confused.

"I don't believe the Reunion Movement is unaware of the importance of logistical support. Otherwise, they wouldn't be engaging in such dirty dealings with the upper echelons of the Ursus Empire..." Lin Lu glanced at Amiya, quietly swallowing the rest of his words. "In short, there's a reason why the Third Army withdrew. Given the Reunion Movement's infiltration, organization, and explosive power, it doesn't seem like something someone completely ignorant about military affairs could do. Unless the Reunion Movement's leader, Talulah, was driven mad by my attack and, in a fit of rage, decided to use the Infected's revolutionary cause as a means of personal revenge, planning to take down Lungmen first and then join forces with the Ursus Empire to take us down..."

"PhD."

Amiya quickly grabbed Lin Lu's arm, her face filled with terror.

"Doctor, please say less!"

"Stop talking, stop being afraid. I laugh at Talulah; Mephisto is ultimately lacking in wisdom. If it were me, I wouldn't be so eager to raise the banner of the Infected. The Reunion Movement claims that the Infected should be proud of their identity and seize justice from the world by the simplest means. This is absolutely not enough for Chernobog alone. Anyone with eyes in the eye knows that the Ursus Empire is in cahoots with the Reunion Movement."

Lin Lu's lips curled into a wide smile: "If it were me, I would reorganize the soldiers within a week of capturing Chernobog, properly care for the seriously wounded, prioritize the lightly wounded, and quickly restore their fighting strength. While morale is high, I would directly drive the Chernobog core city towards Lungmen. Look, the intercity signal for Chernobog still displays the Ursus Empire's mark. I'll drive this thing towards Lungmen and ram it. Good heavens! Lungmen's international status is that of an independent mobile trading city, but its real backer is Yan Kingdom. If Lungmen retaliates against Chernobog, it's tantamount to Yan Kingdom invading the Ursus Empire, which will provoke a war between the two countries. If Lungmen doesn't resist, and the Chernobog core city crashes into it, the high-spirited Reunion Movement soldiers will easily take over Lungmen, which has no troops stationed there."

"If the former leads to war between the two countries, we can benefit from their conflict and watch the situation unfold. We can observe the changes and seize opportunities for development based on the actual circumstances. If the latter occurs, the Reunion Movement will have won a great victory the moment we occupy Lungmen. As a trading city, Lungmen is well-supplied with resources. This is the most opportune time to recruit infected people from all over the world. However, it is also the most dangerous time because the Reunion Movement will be labeled a world-class terrorist organization. Various countries will definitely try to encircle and suppress us, but fortune favors the bold. The advantage of confronting multiple countries is that it is easier to disrupt the balance. We can overturn the table, but they cannot."

Lin Lu became more and more excited as he spoke, completely unaware of the increasingly horrified expressions on Amiya and Herag's faces.

Herag suddenly realized that Lin Lu wasn't joking when he said he wanted to replace the Ursus emperor.

What is the evil spirit of the Tower of Babel?

What is a Babel Tower Commander?

What does it mean to be the leader of an army without borders?

"Doctor..."

Amiya tugged at Lin Lu's sleeve.

"What's wrong, Amiya?"

Lin Lu smiled, his smile so pure and innocent, like the joy that unconsciously blossoms when a child discusses their favorite food.

"Stop talking, stop talking." Amiya waved her hands, looking like she was suffering from psychological trauma, and said tremblingly, "Doctor, you've always been like this. What you say is like a prophecy. The good things never come true, but the bad things do."

"Hmph, in my opinion, Talulah and Mephisto are incompetent. If the Reunion Movement leads four hundred people to invade the outer ring of Lungmen tonight, launches a lightning attack, suddenly appears, surrounds the Lungmen people, and wipes out the Lungmen guards, then even if we go, we will have a hard time taking this tough nut to crack, and we will be used as tools."

"Doctor! Please shut up!!"

Chapter 161 Book Dictionary Online Update

"Doctor, Dr. Kal'tsit has sent a message. Lungmen has temporarily agreed to our request to dock in the Lofty State outside the city. They are also willing to provide some of the supplies we lost during the operation, as well as the replenishment we consumed. In exchange, Rhodes Island needs to assist Lungmen with some temporary defense work on the outer ring of the city and conduct formation operations on the outskirts of Lungmen's Fifth District."

Amiya rubbed her temples, feeling a bit of a headache. She was deeply afraid of the Doctor's "poisonous predictions."

"Doctor, did you hear me clearly?"

"Ugh... Ugh!"

“Doctor, if you promise me you won’t raise the flag again, I’ll untie you. If you hear me, just blink.”

Lin, who was tied up in an 18+ position, blinked very obediently and even winked and flirted with a sparkling eye.

Amiya blushed slightly, untied the ropes binding Lin Lu's hands, and removed the strange spherical object from his mouth. For some reason, Amiya didn't wipe the saliva off the object; instead, she carefully placed it into an air-purged bag and put it away cautiously.

"Why would I have something like this in my office?!"

Lin Lu was breathing heavily, and spoke in a somewhat indistinct manner.

He picked up a handkerchief and covered his mouth, his saliva almost spilling out.

"This is the Doctor's office. Isn't this the question I wanted to ask? Not only are there advanced combat videos of whips and candles, but there are also Originium Arts application tutorials tucked inside the Felin tribe's photo album. Doctor, are you secretly studying at night and then acting like you haven't really studied properly during the day? How adorable." Amiya smiled and silently put away the red restraint ropes.

It's unclear where Amiya learned her binding skills, but she skillfully controlled Lin Lu's movements without causing him pain, demonstrating considerable expertise.

To avoid suspicion, Grandpa Herag left the office early, citing Nai's medical check-up as the reason for leaving, and even hung a "Do Not Disturb" sign on the office door.

"I have a feeling that continuing this topic would be dangerous, so it's best to stop now."

A strong will to survive stopped Lin Lu from continuing the discussion. Although he was not very talented, he did know a little about bondage techniques.

If Amiya and the others find Victoria's Secret items in the office, then even if Lawyer Lin wants to defend himself, he will have no way to deny it since he has no memory of the events.

"Doctor, after receiving Dr. Kal'tsit's communication, Ms. Kroos has already set Rhodes Island on its way to its destination." Amiya held up her blue mobile terminal covered in cute stickers. "I have already informed the operators on the mission of the new coordinates of the Rhodes Island flagship. We expect to arrive in Lungmen around 6 PM. Doctor, please prepare accordingly in the meantime."

"Get ready...that's good, there's something I need to do."

Lin Lu rubbed his wrist; the rope marks remaining on his fair skin were somewhat too conspicuous.

"Doctor, what are you planning to do? The preparations I mentioned, are you going to finish these three days' work ahead of schedule?"

Amiya asked, having unknowingly arrived at her desk and placed the prepared work documents on it.

“...I need to give an explanation to the children I brought back from Chernobog.”

A strong will to survive prompted Lin Lu to speak as formally as possible. He had finally escaped from the endless cycle of work, so how could he possibly let go of such a good opportunity to slack off!

"When Major Natasha left, I refused her request to take Sonia, Anna, Natalia, Rada, and Rosalind with her. I was worried about letting them leave with the Ursus delegation, but it was my own decision, and I needed to tell them."

“I see…” Amiya smiled thoughtfully, “Then there’s nothing I can do. Doctor, you go ahead. I’ll take care of these tasks.”

"Amiya—" Lin Lu's eyes widened in surprise as he asked, "Are you really Amiya?!"

"Doctor, in your heart, am I the kind of unreasonable, bad woman who forces you to work?" Amiya's rings on her ten fingers emitted a black light as she smiled at Lin Lu and said softly, "Am I the kind of despicable woman who only tells you that you can't rest until the work is finished? Hmm? Doctor? Doctor, don't run away, Doctor!"

"You're smothering the road—"

Lin Lu slammed the door shut. Anyone who answers such a death question is a fool; one cannot act against one's conscience.

He had barely taken five steps outside when Lin Lu waved to a hidden, shady spot.

"Thank you for your hard work, Platinum."

Within the shadows, the completely concealed aura shifted slightly, as if someone had secretly taken a deep breath.

A woman in white with silver hair and brown eyes stepped out from a hidden corner, her arms casually folded across her unremarkable chest, her beautiful eyes filled with confusion.

"Doctor, how did you find out where I was? I was hiding very well..."

Platinum pouted slightly, seemingly quite unconvinced, as if someone had easily done what she was best at.

Lin Lu subconsciously replied, "I'd like to ask you why you're dressed all in white and yet you look so confident in your stealth abilities—is your assassin mentor Altaïr or Ezio?"

"...Who are these two people?"

Platinum tilted her head, looking confused.

Lin Lu smiled slightly, without explaining much. In fact, he himself couldn't recall it; he was just instinctively making sarcastic remarks.

"Is it because of my clothes...? Even the knights of Kazimierz couldn't detect my presence. Could it be that I'm feeling fatigued in the comfortable environment of Rhodes Island?" Platinum looked at her long-sleeved white robe, sexy crop top, white hot pants, and black knee-high socks with some confusion, and spun around in place.

"Awesome!"

Lin Lu's gaze was involuntarily drawn to Bai Jin's slender waist and the fluffy tail beside her tight buttocks, perfectly accentuated by her hot pants... It made him want to ride a horse, mount a horse, flatter her, offer hindsight advice, ride alone, gallop on horseback, keep going, and even fall over.

Great! My vocabulary has been updated again. From now on, when I see Agent Kurta, my mom won't have to worry about my studies anymore.

"Was it Kal'tsit who asked you to help protect Amiya in the shadows?" Lin Lu smiled gently and waved his hand at the silent girl. "It's alright. I understand that Rhodes Island needs some kind of help hidden in the dark, which is also the value of the SWEEP team. When you have time, please let me make you a cup of tea to relieve your fatigue."

"...If possible, I would like to taste the hand-brewed coffee that you, Doctor, have prepared yourself."

Bai Jin gazed silently at Lin Lu, and without even realizing it, a gentle smile curved her lips.

Platinum had smelled the aroma of coffee early on; it had been a long time since she had smelled such a rich and mellow fragrance that it deeply attracted her.

Even as time passes, she can still sense it keenly.

"Yes, of course."

Lin Lu smiled, his smile warm and flawless.

As Lin Lu walked towards the infirmary, Bai Jin silently watched his back, unconsciously triggering her Pegasus Vision as if she wanted to deeply imprint his silhouette in her mind.

"The Doctor from Rhodes Island... is quite interesting."

Platinum recalled the last time she saw the Doctor, on the mast on the deck, when she had inadvertently seen...

"Humph."

Unbeknownst to her, the Kazimierz Unarmored Assassin, her pretty face flushed, pursed her lips and quietly slipped into the shadows.
