Walk through the structure of the Ark and wander on the continent of Terra

"As a doctor, I actually don't want the worst to happen, but as a Sakaz, or as an ordinary person, I don't hesitate to speculate on her outcome with the greatest malice."

"Warfarin, this file is the latest sent by the informant. It records some interesting things. Take it and take a look."

Warfarin took the information handed over by Kelsey and flipped through two pages, including the investigation report sent back by Alpha and the testimony of a local informant.

"A small team from the Integration Movement once passed through here, and the cadres of the Integration Movement at that time had secretly met with this patient...Does Alpha know this?"

"I've told her everything."

"Do you have any idea?"

"The noblest visions are often shattered by the tiniest desires..." Kelsey gave an inexplicable answer. She looked out the window at the wilderness in the outer suburbs of Longmen without saying anything else.

54. Silent on the banks of Devon - Gantry attack on

On a street in the inner ring of Gantry, fully equipped Koloff and several Rhode Island security department officers escorted Kelsey and Alina out of a building. They had just investigated the latest ore disease target. A press conference was held to conduct research on inhibitory drugs and cell membrane receptor blockers.

Today, relevant research on various professional channels has caused huge waves in the field of mineral disease research across the continent, and even in the entire field of biology. In less than a week, the pharmaceutical company named Rhode Island At a crazy speed of two papers a day, papers that can completely subvert existing results are released to the outside world.

Among them, only one paper on the working principle of cell membrane receptor inhibitors directly demolished several of the latest treatments in the field of oriopathy research that were considered the most promising.

Kelsey knew that at this moment, relevant researchers all over the land would devote their own resources to replicating these results. If the conclusions of these articles are true, everyone in the past firmly believed that "Ore Disease" The conclusion that "it cannot be cured under the current conditions" will be overturned, and ore disease will have the theoretical possibility of being cured.

When walking down the steps, Xiaolu asked Kelsey with the lingering uneasiness, "Dr. Kelsey, can this change the situation of the infected?" Kelsey's answer was just a simple shake of the head. If countless sufferings came from the Origin Stone, it would be a gratifying thing.

At this moment, Koloff received the communication. He pressed the earphone and listened for a short time, then turned around and gave Kelsey an intriguing look.

"Prepare to evacuate according to the plan, and contact the Longmen Guard Bureau immediately. Basalt, has the drone arrived at the escort route now?" Seeing his eyes, Kelsey immediately made arrangements and deployment, and several important officers from Rhode Island The operator raised his shield and surrounded the two, covering them as they quickly moved towards the vehicle.

Koloff glanced at his personal data terminal, then nodded, "The support team responsible for responding is already on the way, and the Life Star can sail at any time."

Kelsey nodded, and everyone quickly walked through the steps and the square in front of the building, and got into the vehicle.

Kelsey and Alina are currently riding in the car built by Alpha itself. Since the frame materials and panels of the whole body are made of Karak technology, it can be said to have the best protection among the vehicles available in Rhode Island. of a car.In previous sample tests, it was omnidirectionally immune to armor-piercing and explosive crossbow bolts manufactured by the Rhode Island Engineering Department, and even omnidirectionally immune to Amiya's spell attacks.

As soon as the dignitaries boarded the car, the entire convoy started moving in unison. At this time, sirens sounded all around, and the Longmen Guard Bureau dispatched forces to clear the road for the Rhode Island convoy and investigate the situation along the way.

The convoy quickly passed through the streets of downtown Longmen and arrived on the outer ring road, which was the fastest route to the dock where the Life Star docked.Just as they were passing the roundabout of an interchange, a car suddenly accelerated towards Kelsey and others' car in one lane.

Heijiao, who was driving, immediately evaded and avoided the direct impact of the car on the side of the vehicle. The front of the other party's car only hit the trunk, but the next moment, a violent explosion sounded, and the Originium bomb created a sky-high flame that engulfed the car. The group's car and several Rhode Island vehicles following behind were also affected to varying degrees.

"Damn it, someone is being pushed into a panic!" Heijiao, who was fine but was startled, spat. Alpha's craftsmanship and Karak's material technology were trustworthy, even if they were washed away by the huge fireball and shock wave of the explosion. On the face of it, the four people in the car looked like they were fine. It was just that the vibrations transmitted into the car through the outer casing and buffer structure made their teeth ache.

"This is basalt. VIPs were hit by an explosion. No one was injured. Everyone should be vigilant!" Koloff immediately reported the situation to his friends.

"How long can the tires last?" Kelsey immediately reminded Black Point to check the status of the vehicle.

Black Point glanced at the monitor on the instrument panel, "Both rear wheels are all red, and the system shows that we can still travel up to two kilometers!"

"Notify the change of response location and prepare for battle!"

Kelsey took out several suitcases from behind the back seat, opened them, put on Rhode Island combat vests with certain protective functions for herself and Fawn, and inserted protective inserts on the front and rear of Fawn's combat vest.Then she took out a large, complex staff from the storage box.If there is a possibility of encountering a battle but does not want to summon Mon3tr prematurely, Kelsey will use this set of staffs to pretend to be a warlock.

The terrain in the outer ring area of ​​the gantry was empty. Koloff stuffed the shotgun into the holster on his lower back, and then took out the Kalashnikov that had been modified beyond recognition by Alpha. Koloff had basically mastered the use of these firearms in actual combat. Using it, he was confident that he could test his training results in battle.

After all, this car is just an overall frame designed for civilian use. After being attacked by a car bomb at close range, it was able to keep everyone uninjured and continue to drive for two kilometers. The performance of Alfa's new car has exceeded imagination.

There were five vehicles in Rhode Island's convoy. In the attack just now, the vehicle immediately behind the four people was seriously damaged. Fortunately, ACE and Huang were in the vehicle at the time. They took defensive measures in time and were not injured. .But having lost their vehicle, they could only get off the vehicle and move to a suitable location to wait for the response from the Longmen Guards Bureau.

……

Ifrit, who was sitting in the dining hall of the Star of Life and listening to Xu Yu telling herself a story, felt as if she heard an explosion coming from far away. She looked up at Xu Yu beside her in confusion. rain.

"Sister Xuyu, did you hear a bang?"

"No?"

Helmer, who was reading a report in the medical room, hurriedly walked in, "Something happened, Diesel, please help us play the Longmen TV report."

The TV hanging on the wall of the restaurant soon began to broadcast live news footage. In the footage from the TV station's drone, smoke was billowing from the outer ring viaduct, as if a big explosion had just occurred. "I just received an emergency notification that Kelsey's convoy was attacked by a bomb."

"How are they doing?" Xu Yu stood up and prepared to pack the battlefield first aid equipment.

"I don't know either..." Hemer didn't receive a specific mission briefing and didn't know the situation at the scene.

"The vehicle driven by Koloff and others who faced the explosion could still barely move. The vehicle driven by ACE and Huang was affected and seriously damaged. The drone's optical image showed that they were forced to leave the vehicle and move under the bridge. Others continued to follow the original instructions. Move forward on a determined route." Diesel gave a specific answer, "At the same time, the drone detected electromagnetic interference around the site of the attack, and someone is trying to interfere with our communications."

"Is there any countermeasure?"

"The interference source has been burned through the ship's antenna and has no actual impact. After reconnaissance and location, it is an interference station installed on a nearby building. More possible attackers have not yet appeared."

"Is there anything we can do to help?"

"Doctor Kelsey has no specific instructions yet. I suggest the three of you wait for the support team to control the situation on site before taking action."

55. The banks of Devon are quiet - under the Dragon Gate attack

In the base walker's equipment room, Petrova put the tactical chest strap she had prepared on her body and put on her backpack.The electromagnetic pistol matching the Tianping firearms set was inserted in the most convenient position, and she was ready. She quickly ran to the flight deck on the roof of the car, where the Bad Guy was docked, making preparations for takeoff.

Seria and an old lady from Sakota, whom she had never met before, were sitting in the cabin, fully armed, waiting for her.This cool old lady wearing a cowboy hat held her gun and looked at Petrova with interest.

Seria pulled Petrova into the cabin of the Bad Guy, then patted the seat in front of her to indicate to the pilot Dylan that he could take off.

"My friends call me Outcast, little girl." The cool old lady stretched out her hand and shook Petrova's hand.

"Petrova, code name Shuangya, nice to meet you, senior."

"I heard from Kelucier that the one in your hand, the scale, can be activated without any magical ability?"

"Yes, load the gun, disengage the safety, aim, and pull the trigger. That's it."

"Interesting, her core institution must be as simple and powerful as her appearance."

"And it's reliable. If you're interested, senior, you can talk to Alpha when she comes back."

"Haha, I will." Outcast smiled and pulled out his gun and made a beautiful gunshot. "If you have a chance today, let me see the power of the weapon named Scales. How about it?"

Petrova nodded. Outcast's smile was very contagious and relieved her a little nervousness after being away from the battlefield for a long time. Petrova took a deep breath. She believed that she could complete her mission.

Outside the cabin, the rotors cut through the air, and the Bad Guy quickly took off. Petrova noticed that the gun jacket of the Base Walker's main gun had been removed, and the weapon stations at the four corners had also been raised. The situation was not easy.

"Our mission is to rescue the two trapped ACEs. The Longmen Guards Bureau's power was blocked. Six simultaneous car accidents blocked the road and blocked their support. At the same time, the other party launched a drone attack. Our unmanned aerial vehicle The man-machine doesn’t have an anti-drone jamming pod, so it can’t deal with those things.”

"What's the situation on our team's side?"

"Our team has successfully reunited and is exchanging fire with a small group of unidentified armed forces. With Dr. Kelsey on hand, there won't be any problems."

"Who is the opponent, and why do they dare to be so arrogant on the Longmen border? They bombed, blocked traffic, and even used more manpower and drones. Are they planning to start a war?"

"Except for the explosion, the other noises were actually not big. Judging from the opponent's armament level, it is similar to the workshop weapons that flowed into Longmen with the Syracuse gang some time ago. After all, it is still a bit behind the military standard equipment."

……

The armed personnel near the meeting point have been cleared by Rhode Island operators. Throughout the battle, Kolov's Kalashnikov fired a total of three short rounds, accurately killing three armed long-range attacks. armed personnel.Terra is strong and strong, but no matter how strong she is, it is impossible to withstand bullets. The special bullets are still made by Alpha using a high-precision quality printing table. They will not be contaminated by atmospheric source stone particles and affect the combustion efficiency. They have been improved. Propellant formula, armor-piercing projectiles with warheads specially designed for heavily protected targets.

He fought the rest of the fight with his shield.With the close cooperation of the Rhode Island operators, all the armed personnel who attacked the team were subdued. Only two people on the Rhode Island side were slightly injured.

Koloff found an attacker who had just been knocked to the ground by him with his shield. As a veteran of the shield guard and the guerrillas, he felt that he had some experience in how to grab tongues to interrogate information, and then he got He almost couldn't hold himself back from answering.

"We in the Integration Movement will never forgive you scum for using infected people for experiments."

As a current member of the Integration Movement (similar to labor dispatch, the affiliation is still in the Integration Movement), and also a so-called "experimental subject", Koloff said that he didn't know how to evaluate this guy, and in the end he could only describe him as He threw it to the operator next to him to handle.

"What did he say?" Kelsey saw the strange look on Ke Luo's husband's face.

"What he means is that they came to avenge me."

"Revenge you?" Kelsey was stunned for a moment, then reacted instantly, "Could they call themselves the Integration Movement, and the reason for launching the attack is to take revenge on the medical company that persecutes the infected?"

"It's exactly what you said... So what should we do with this group of people? Many of them are indeed infected."

"Leave it to the authorities. This is their jurisdiction after all."

"Ok."

……

The battle near the viaduct ended quickly. Before setting off, Seria carried an anti-drone electromagnetic interference gun according to Diesel's instructions. Karak's anti-drone gun itself was violent enough. Coupled with the firepower cooperation of Petrova and Outcast, it was very easy to solve several modified Veyron drones that had been suppressing ACE and Huang.

The ensuing battle was a close-range battle, and there was no room for balance. Petrova entered the battle with an electromagnetic pistol in one hand and a Rhodes Island standard staff in the other.As a warlock who is good at using low-temperature type Source Stone skills, after experiencing repeated torture in the Alpha Consciousness Sea special training, she is now more accustomed to using Source Stone skills to create shooting opportunities for herself, to assist in expanding her own results, and at the same time Save itself.

For example, you can use Origin Stone skills to quickly cover possible shooting bunkers, interfere with the opponent's line of sight and shooting range, and force the opponent to move. Then, you can use the powerful penetrating performance of the electromagnetic weapon in your hand to suppress and kill, or create a target in a relatively open area. Ice walls provide temporary shelter.Her spells are not powerful, her shooting accuracy is not superb, and even the combat skills she has figured out by herself are still very immature.But Outcast could see that she was a battlefield veteran who had war experience and was constantly thinking and exploring while accepting new technologies.

Under the cover of two reliable heavy-armed operators, Seria and ACE, Petrova and Outcast easily eliminated the toughest attackers.The rest were all bastards who looked like gang members, with little organization. Faced with a certain explosive film that had been suppressed and beaten by a drone for a long time, and was simmering with anger, and the hot film in her hand. A huge chain saw, of course, makes a lot of shit.

After eliminating the threat, the five people moved according to the planned route and soon joined the response team that had dealt with the situation near the meeting point.Wait until the personnel from the Longmen Guards Bureau arrive and take over the scene.They easily returned to the Star of Life and left Longmen City.

Kelsey sighed a little, wondering whether she had overestimated the other party's level and mobilized too many unnecessary resources. However, everyone returned to the ship safely, which is something worth celebrating.

……

Thousands of kilometers away, Alpha, who has been queuing in Yansk on the Devon River for several days, has received all the mission records of the attack in Longmen City. At present, she cannot discern any clues about the real situation behind it. It would be faster for Kelsey to check it out than for her to do it herself.

In this land, it is normal for research institutions to accumulate a large number of papers and publish them all at once, and it is not uncommon for the academic community to be shocked. It is even more normal for business competition to hire thugs or even killers to launch attacks on competitors. .

The combined therapy she developed uses strict protection to reduce intake, remove established lesions, use antagonists and dialysis to reduce the concentration of Originium in the blood, and then use inhibitors to weaken the enrichment of Originium by somatic cells. Theoretically, it can cure ori disease and save some people from suffering, but in the current situation, it cannot change anything for the vast number of infected people.

So the only problem with the whole thing is - that's the car I just saved!

56.The banks of Devon are quiet part.12

The perspective returns to Alpha. It has been a while since she came to Yansk on the Devon River. During this time, she discovered some very interesting things.

The first is the situation of the old Marquis's heir. There are different opinions according to her investigation, but all opinions believe that the eldest son is dead. Instead, about the whereabouts of the second son, each family has its own version.

This city, like other Ursus cities, does not have an urban area to isolate infected people, and there will be pickets for infected people at regular intervals.Infected people who are found will be sent to mines in nearby mountains or even further away.The persecution of people infected with ore disease is a common phenomenon in the Ursus Empire. This phenomenon can even be said to be commonplace on this land, but the frequency of pickets of infected people here is higher than that in the cities around the snowfield.

Qian'.;Xun;Free,.Fee:small,,,said::,skirt.'?2;'"5',,5"?5!9?:5,:.'3''0!0 In addition, Alpha also noticed that the earl who now rules the city has very strange rumors in the market.Some people say that he is a fanatic who desires immortality, others say that he has obtained fragments containing the ancient witchcraft of Sakaz, and others say that he is a blood demon disguised as an Ursus.

Alpha has collected rumors in at least three different places that a group of ordinary people disappear inexplicably every year in Yansk on the Devon River. Some of their bodies are found downstream of the river a few months later. Think about it. What happened to Zina, this legend is very likely not just a market legend.Of course, there would be no clues in this case at the local police station.

The manor where the Earl of Rustin now lives is located on the north side of the city, close to the river and the northern fields. According to Alpha's investigation, the Earl's private residence is located on a small mobile plot with a complex structure. , there is an independent energy center inside, and there is also a huge redundant space, and the entire site is heavily guarded, fully meeting the conditions required to engage in shady activities.

Alpha's investigation in the past few days has mainly focused on visiting the private sector, and she has not been in a hurry to sneak into the land where the Earl's manor is located to conduct investigations.The main reason for this is that Alpha needs to evaluate what action she should take. She is here to make Zina's murderer pay with blood, but she is not here to destroy the city.There is a culprit and a mastermind behind the crime, but in this city with tens of thousands of people now, innocent people should not have to pay for the murderer's crimes.

Moreover, entering the manor to investigate did not seem to require her to put in much thought and effort - someone sent an invitation.

On the afternoon when she and Kelsey were discussing the attack in the Longmen area, when she was walking through the alleys of Lot [-], two lord guards came to her, but the guards did not break out with her. What a conflict, the other party just sent a luxuriously decorated invitation, inviting her to attend the dinner the next night.

"The bard who invites the returning daughter to come here?" During this period, Alpha walked through the city, and her flute brought blessings and joy to many people, including the lord or his subordinates. It is also normal to notice yourself. They may invite themselves for various reasons. There is no need to guess before going.As for possible risks, after a fantasy galaxy suite, there won't be a single living person left on the field. What risks is she afraid of?

Alpha accepted happily, and two guards asked about her residence and said that they would send a special car to greet her tomorrow afternoon.
