Ark, after I died, the operators began to love me

There was rage burning in the girl's eyes.

49. Assault on Base Camp

"We already know that Rhine Life has deployed a special device in the base camp. Once activated, it will inevitably lead to a battle between humans and the Collapsed Entity. Therefore, when dealing with this matter, we must take into account the unavoidable casualties."

When Mike said these words, Typhon showed an incredible expression.

She originally thought that the man in front of her, who was called the Doctor, would try every means to avoid casualties, but she did not expect that he would actually condone a certain degree of sacrifice.

"senior."

Adele lowered her head silently.

Dolly, who was standing on Adele's shoulder, said softly, "Don't be like this. He is just like this. He has never changed whether to save the minority or the majority, who should be saved and who cannot be saved."

Mike emphasized again and again: "Kill as many Collapsers as possible. The evil spirits give the dead a second life, so we will kill them again and let everything return to nothingness. Especially you, Typhon, don't be reluctant to kill someone you know. The result of your soft-heartedness is that you will become a Collapser."

"I know."

Typhon responded in a muffled voice.

She had experienced similar things many times in her not-so-long life. Her comrades, friends, and familiar people had all become puppets of the enemy in the process of fighting against the evil spirits. All she could do was to send them back to death with her own hands.

Mike turned to Andorn and said, "Director An, your team consists of four people. Your target is the special device. You must activate it as soon as possible."

"Do not worry."

There was no expression on Andorn's face. He would do what he promised. This was his style.

"Mr. Zhongyue, your team of four will go and seize the radio station at the base camp. Once you have successfully seized it, immediately broadcast it to the entire city, directing the surviving humans to the designated location."

The Yan country man nodded heavily: "I promise to complete the task."

Xingji, who was still in a daze, suddenly realized something and asked quickly, "Doctor, what about you?"

Mike smiled and said, "Don't worry about me. I have places to go. I have a puppet following me, so you can rest assured."

Seeing him say this, no one asked any more questions.

Aside from the time he faked his death and left Rhodes Island, the Doctor has always been reliable, especially now that he looks exactly like Dr. An himself.

"Rest here for half an hour, check your equipment and belongings, and get ready to set off."

……

Magellan ran out of the base camp as fast as he could, circled around two or three kilometers, and barely found a valley sheltered from the wind to make a fire and cook.

Although she is often called Dai Tou Yu by Little Typhoon, and although she sometimes makes a fool of herself due to her own reasons, Miss Liberi's professional quality is quite strong. While lighting the stove, she reviewed her recent experience in her heart, and soon a terrible thought came to her mind.

"No way?"

All signs indicate that the base has been invaded by evil spirits, otherwise the detectors on her body would not be beeping.

Magellan has great confidence in Mel's craftsmanship. Even Saria's combat uniform was modified by the engineer himself, which shows that he is very capable and trustworthy.

If there is nothing wrong with the detector, then the problem must be with the people in the base camp.

But why didn’t the protective device activate?

Magellan stopped what he was doing and fell into deep thought for a moment.

Should she risk her life to go back and warn those who are still kept in the dark?

Otherwise, it’s better not to go. It’s too dangerous.

However, Little Typhoon has not replied to her letter. Could something have happened to him?

To go or not to go?

Magellan walked back and forth several times, still unable to make up his mind. At this time, she remembered something.

A long time ago, a fortune teller operator from Sami gave her a set of tarot cards. Although Magellan had no divination skills and only had a vague understanding of the card patterns, it did not prevent her from helping him make a decision.

The action-oriented girl from Liberi acted quickly and took out the deck of tarot cards from her bag. She muttered something in her broken Sami language, not knowing who to pray to, and quickly pulled out a card.

"sun?"

Several thoughts flashed through Magellan's mind, some good and some bad, but he looked at the sun card in his hand, pounded his palm heavily, and said firmly: "The sun means that the future is bright. I will be safe if I go back now. It's settled!"

So she put out the stove that had just been lit and stuffed it back into the snowmobile bag.

The girl from Liberia drove back, the cold wind blew through her hair, and the flying snowflakes almost completely covered her face.

……

Three off-road vehicles drove into the seemingly peaceful headquarters of the Joint Investigation Association.

It was the same as usual here, with people coming and going in an endless stream, as if everything they had discussed before was just a game on paper.

Mike said in the headset: "Now everyone put talisman paper on yourself, remember to stick it on the inside of your clothes."

Following his command, everyone took out talismans with mathematical formulas written on them and stuck them on their bodies. Adele even stuffed two pieces of talismans into Dolly's wool.

"Honestly, Adele, I don't need any of this."

Dolly tried to resist, but his resistance was useless.

When the talisman was pasted on his body, Typhon, who was feeling waves of cold, suddenly felt a warm current flowing into his body to fight against the severe cold.

She leaned against the car window and looked out, and at a glance she saw that the newsboy standing on the roadside selling newspapers was a zombie.

But he still waved the newspaper in his hand like an ordinary morning, speaking the preset lines with almost distorted pronunciation and sentences.

Such a strange scene was not noticed by anyone, or perhaps the newspaper boy's abnormality was taken for granted by people with distorted cognition.

What the hell, when did the base camp become like this?

Typhon felt a chill in his heart. After all, she had stayed here for two days and one night. God knows with which monsters she had had such friendly interactions?

"Don't be nervous, relax, now is not the worst time."

Three off-road vehicles slowly stopped at the door of a small hotel, and people got off the vehicles one after another. Their bodies emanated a faint golden light, and there were thin silk threads connecting them together.

Mike, the source of the golden light, sat in the car motionless.

Compared to other team members who are ready to complete the mission, he will act together with Puppet Shadow.

When they parted, they wished each other success.

Then two of the three SUVs left in different directions. Only then did Mike get out of the car and walked into the inn step by step.

The clean and bright hotel made people feel very comfortable. The man standing at the counter smiled and said, "Sir, how many people are there?"

50. Cognitive distortions

"One so far, I need a room, thank you."

"Of course, no problem."

The hotel receptionist fulfilled Mike's wish, stretched out a hand, opened the drawer under the counter, took out a key with the same house number as that in the registration manual, and pushed it in front of Mike.

"Sir, this is your room number. The rent is according to the normal Sammy standard. If you need to eat, this hotel can also provide a meal."

"Thank you very much. I will go downstairs to eat if necessary."

Mike smiled and nodded. He looked at the hotel receptionist, who seemed a little uncomfortable. He asked quickly, "What's wrong, sir? Is there something on my face?"

"No, nothing, thank you."

Mike turned and walked upstairs.

The hotel receptionist was confused and reached out to touch his cheek, mumbling, "What do you mean there's nothing on my face?"

The person whose cognition changed did not realize that his fingers really touched nothing, but in his cognition, his eyes, nose and mouth were all there.

Mike walked up the wooden stairs, and the scene in front of him changed with his footsteps.

This is not a hotel at all, but an abandoned unfinished building.

The key in his hand was just a piece of wood, not to mention the ability to open the door.

As the man walked, he said in his heart: The cognition of everyone here has changed. A collapsed body contaminated by evil spirits thinks that he is a normal person. He works as a hotel receptionist in this unmanned unfinished building. Or did he have such memories before he became a collapsed body?

Mike made a motion to push the door. In his left eye, the wooden door appeared brown and the iron doorplate was embedded in the wood. But in his right eye, there was nothing here but an empty doorway, not to mention something like a wooden door.

From this we can see that although the evil spirits' erosion of the local people exists, it is not that serious. It only modifies their normal cognition, but does not force them to actively attack the living. However, Mike always has a bad premonition.

Mike walked into the empty doorway. He could feel something trying to influence his cognition, but every ray of power to actively change his cognition was being driven away and swallowed up by the golden light.

The man smiled, revealing his white teeth.

All along, Mike has a line he uses to remind himself.

He is a demon, the devil's mortal enemy.

……

Andorn led his four-man team to the city's power facilities under the guidance of Holhayya.

In theory, a large city has many power supply stations to provide electricity. Although the base camp is not as big as any mobile city they have ever seen, the camp is huge and closely connected with the local people. It is even divided into several areas, and the power supply facilities are naturally divided into different areas.

This is just theory, but there are significant deviations when it comes to actual implementation.

The special equipment in the base camp does not have many types of energy to drive it. Apart from the most well-known Originium energy in this land, the second is electricity. In places like Sami, Originium pollution is only a very small number. It is almost impossible to rely on Originium for power here, so electricity becomes the best choice.

This is thanks to the Colombian expedition, which provided the Sami with many things that were far beyond their understanding.

It didn't take much effort for them to find the most conspicuous power facility in the base camp. However, when they arrived at the outer wall, the scene before them made everyone gasp.

As the locals' cognition was distorted, they did not think that what they saw was strange, but Andorn and the others had talismans on their bodies and were connected by golden threads. To them, it was as if there was a layer of gauze between them. Now, when they pulled it aside with their hands, the truth was revealed before them.

The sticky black liquid stuck to the wall and dripped down drop by drop. There was a monster entrenched on the roof above the power facilities. It was sleeping, and its tightly closed eyes were trembling slightly, and it might open at any time.

Typhon, who was accompanying them, also saw this scene and hurriedly informed everyone through the headset: "Turn around now and don't look at that big guy!"

The other three were also surprised. Holhaiya's face looked ugly. It was the first time he saw such a thing. Typhon, as a hunter, expressed his judgment.

"This monster is obviously one of the sources of pollution. I have heard of it. It has its eyes closed now, so the pollution it can cause is very weak. When it opens its eyes, anyone or any creature that looks into its eyes will be polluted to varying degrees."

“Is there a way to fix it?”

"Unless one of us can turn invisible and enter the door directly, but this will be too difficult."

“This is really a big problem.”

Andorn muttered, tightened his grip on the scepter, and secretly thought about the second plan in his mind.

He asked, "What will happen to this big guy if we just start the device?"

"The theory is that it would have run away immediately."

"Then it is enough for us to just take the risk at the first opportunity."

Typhon advised again and again: "I told you this is just an ideal situation. If this big guy refuses to leave, then anyone who enters the facility will immediately become his delicious meal."

Adele looked a little pale. Seeing that everyone was undecided, she asked in a low voice, "How about we ask the doctor for his opinion?"

The equipment they have is point-to-point communication, and the vehicles parked in the base camp can also be used as signal relays, so the hindrance is minimal.

Although Andon had some ideas, someone had already suggested asking the doctor about the situation, so he could only nod in agreement.

Several people gathered together and sent a signal to the doctor on the other end of the phone. There was a rustling sound in the microphone, as if the signal was interfered with. Not long after, a man's voice came from the other end.

"Are you in any trouble?"

Typhon frowned, feeling something was a little different, but couldn't tell what was going on. When he was about to express his opinion, Andorn, who was holding a scepter in his hand, suddenly reached out and tightly grasped the microphone to stop the Sarkaz girl from speaking.

Then he ignored the other party's gaze and hung up the phone.

"what are you doing?"

"Can't you see? Our signal has been hijacked."

The girl was stunned for a moment.

The angel turned to look at the giant creature perched on the power facility and said in a serious tone: "From the moment we saw it, there was no other choice."

Ask for leave to study new activity plot

As the title.

The new interaction provided me with a lot of ideas. The Witch King is indeed a hero of his generation. He transformed a piece of subspace and collected many souls. To put it in a fantasy way, he can be regarded as establishing his own kingdom of God.
