Tallulah stood in the dark sewer, with fire burning all around her, illuminating her figure. Her pale skin and black dress made her look like a doll thrown into a flame.
The clothes had already begun to burn, and it was only a matter of time before the body was engulfed in flames.
It is also a fact that Tallulah was engulfed by hatred.
She has a tendency to give up on herself. In the original plot, if Chen had not stepped forward during the Core City incident, even if Tallulah was aware of Kosche's existence, she probably would not have the will to regain hope.
"Tallulah!" Baiyou suddenly shouted.
Bai You stood in the misty atmosphere, her thin body facing the hot and fierce wind blowing from Tallulah, her overly long clothes fluttering in the wind.
"Be patient." Bai You took a deep breath, her eyes firm. "I won't give up on you. I don't want to give up on anyone in the Integration Movement or the people in Chernobyl who are sinking into tragedy."
"I don't care even if this sentence is too idealistic, because my ideal has nothing to do with the will of this world!" He placed the sword in front of him and looked at Kosice in the distance as if making a declaration.
"Koschei! The person standing in front of you is a doctor from Rhodes Island, a player from this world!" He said with wide eyes, "I want you to understand that what Rhodes Island and I want to do is to heal this entire world."
"Whether it's the mineral disease or a cancer like you that parasitizes civilization, I will eradicate it all."
"Kosice, use Tallulah's body to do your evil deeds, jump around, and enjoy your struggle before death! I only have one request, Tallulah!" He stretched out his hand and pointed at Tallulah: "Don't die, don't commit suicide, I know you can hear me."
Tallulah sneered and bowed slightly. "You are truly a man of great ambition, Doctor of Rhodes Island. Don't worry, I look forward to a fair game with you."
"I won't let Tallulah die, but my patience is limited." She gently stretched out her hand and clenched it, as if she was holding the entire city under her feet tightly in her hand: "Now, I have the Reunion Movement and Chernobog, Your Excellency."
"I've already got the cards I want, so you better move fast."
"In my infinite life, I have seen too many people like you. You want to save the world with your courage, want to be a hero, want to be good to the infected, and even to your enemies... Idealists like you have only one destination, and that is destruction."
"No." Baiyue whispered, "This time is different."
Silver Honey's familiar pulled Bai You forward, and the distance between them grew farther and farther, until the heat wave could no longer be felt, until at the end, only a small bright red spot remained of Tallulah.
Then, Baiyou stared at the bright spot and said to herself: "Because I am a player."
Good and evil have no meaning to me, for I follow my heart.
As for the goals that players want to achieve, no one can stop them except for stupid planning and plot killing.
Now, neither of these two things exists.
Chapter 24: Team Reunion
The Silver Honey familiar travels underground in Chernobog.
Previously, in order to save Baiyou, it transferred all those women to a safe place on the edge of the city. Without those burdens, it traveled through the sewers at a speed of nearly 100 kilometers per hour.
However, the most suitable way of survival for the Silver Honey familiar is to find a place to settle down and wait for opportunities.
"Thank you for your hard work." Baiyou looked at the sewer going away in front of him and patted the Yinmi familiar.
"Gurgle..." The soft and tender pink flesh squirmed, making a sound as if in response.
In the narrow and long passage, the only sound was the movement of the Silver Honey Demon.
Baiyou let out a long sigh, sat down, and began to recover.
………………
"Doctor... Doctor..." Someone muttered to himself in the dark passage.
Dobin held Amiya in his arms and walked in shallow and deep steps surrounded by the crowd.
"Amiya, don't worry, the doctor will be fine." Doberman said softly.
Dobin believes in the Doctor. The current Doctor has exceeded everyone's expectations. Neither his swordsmanship nor his strange skills are what the former Doctor possessed.
It was because of the surprises the doctor brought one after another that Doberman chose to believe.
But Amiya is different.
Even with her faith in the Doctor, Amiya still felt the pain.
The pain came from losing again. The feeling of having hope taken away again crushed Amiya's spirit.
"Doctor..." Her lips were already cracked, but she still murmured to herself with her head lowered: "I miss him so much..."
No one here is as obsessed with the Doctor as Amiya.
The doctor in my mind seems to be changeable.
From the tenderness in the early days of Babel to the father-like role, to the coldness in the end when he turned into a war machine and was completely immersed in command...
Then, after becoming smaller, he would seek attachment to me, but at the same time be surprisingly reliable when giving orders.
No matter which one it is, it is the closest look to Amiya, or in other words, the Doctor and Kal'tsit are the things that can prove her own existence.
That's family, real family.
So when Amiya saw the doctor being trampled on the ground like that through the flames, she could hardly control herself. Even the rings on her ten fingers were jingling, all... longing for release.
Only to be stopped by ACE.
Seeing Amiya like this, Dubin's heart was also filled with pain.
He should have been stopped at the beginning.
After the Doctor woke up from the sarcophagus, he lost all his memories and became such a...stubborn person.
Stubbornly and directly seek comfort, stubbornly and gently execute commands, stubbornly and forcefully give orders.
It was as if he had some obsession in his heart, as if he had decided from the very beginning what he wanted to do in this world, and nothing could stand in his way. Even if he had to put himself in danger, he was still stubborn enough not to let anyone interfere.
What's the purpose of sacrificing oneself, regardless of the value of one's own command, in order to hold back Tallulah and protect every operator?
Thinking of this, Dubin gritted his teeth. After doing those things to him, did he think he could just walk away like that? !
He must be rescued...
At this moment, ACE and Lin Guang at the front of the team stopped.
"Wait, there's a noise ahead, everyone shut up." ACE made a gesture.
There was a sound of stepping on water coming from the front, it seemed that a small team was moving quickly in the sewer.
Are the people from the Reunion Movement chasing us?
The entire team turned off the lights. The operators pursed their lips in grief and stared straight ahead, ready to go.
This is the chance to escape that the doctor bought with his life. No matter what enemy they encounter, they must move forward.
Unexpectedly, at the intersection of the sewer pipes ahead, a Sarkaz man holding a sniper rifle emerged.
Wearing a black and blue hooded uniform.
"s...scout?" ACE asked in surprise.
"ACE?!" The scout also discovered the operators who were on high alert.
In the shadows behind him, there were all the operators of the scout team, not a single one missing.
"Aren't you going on a secret mission? Then why are you here?" asked ACE.
"I also want to ask you... there was a flesh and blood monster that killed Garson directly with its tentacles. Is that something from our island?" Scout asked in confusion.
"Speaking of which, what's the situation now? The monster told me that he wanted to evacuate with you guys, and then what? Where's the doctor?"
Hearing the word "Doctor", Amiya in the team shuddered again, snuggled in Doberman's arms, and fell into self-blame.
Some of the operators also sniffed.
ACE frowned: "Doctor...wait, let's talk about the doctor later. You said you encountered a monster?"
Scout recounted what had happened from the beginning.
"Tentacle monster..." ACE immediately thought of the tentacles that had come out of the ground to interfere with Tallulah. He looked at Lin Guang and nodded.
"Then, they must be our people. Although I don't know why they didn't meet us, they are definitely friendly troops."
"I just don't know what's going on with the doctor."
Scout also noticed something was wrong with the team. He looked around but didn't see the doctor, so he asked quickly, "Where's the doctor?"
ACE was silent for a moment before slowly telling what happened before.
After listening to ACE's story, Scout pondered for a moment and said, "I think the doctor must have his reasons for doing this."
"I'm afraid we don't need to worry about his safety. He may even have a way to escape." Scout walked into the team, came to Amiya, leaned over and rubbed Amiya's head: "Amiya, don't be so sad. I have seen the real attack method of that monster. If it protects him, then the doctor can at least protect himself."
"So what should we do now?" Lin Guang asked, "Should we continue to wait for the doctor's news here, or should we withdraw first?"
"That monster gave me an order, asking me to meet up with you and complete it together." Scout took the map from his waist. Since he had been in Kazdel in his early years, he still likes to carry things like maps with him in case the terminal or other electronic equipment fails.
He marked a few points on the map and said, "Before the natural disaster, when I was heading towards you, the monster found me again and gave me a message."
"Some Ursus students are still struggling to survive in Chernobyl. They want me to rescue a few of them if possible."
"Just a few of them? Why?" Lin Guang frowned: "Can't all of them..."
"The monster didn't explain the reason, but just said that perhaps not all of those people are worth rescuing." Scout shook his head: "I think maybe it knows something."
"I have selected the locations of several schools. Now with the help of the sewer system, we can move much faster than on the ground. How about we give it a try?" Scout looked at ACE with an inquiring look.
"If it's about saving people, there's no reason to refuse." ACE nodded calmly, and spoke without hesitation, expressing his guess: "And I suspect that the monster is not from our island, maybe it is directly under the doctor's orders."
"The sarcophagus has changed the Doctor more than we thought."
Chapter 25: Student Self-Government Group
The integration movement slowed down.
Perhaps due to Tallulah's attack and the sudden death of Garson, the leader of the Sarkaz mercenaries, the Reunion Movement began to shrink towards the core city of Chernobog. Although the streets are still in chaos, the core elite of the Reunion Movement can no longer be seen.
Only those peripheral members of the integration movement who are not under anyone's control are still venting their violence unscrupulously.
They have gone mad.
Revenge on Ursus is the whole meaning of their remaining lives, even if the victims are innocent.
Today, Ursus' military and police have been almost completely destroyed in previous battles and natural disasters. The laws that Ursus once used to govern the country have become waste paper. This place is a chaotic area like Kazdel, a paradise of the jungle law and the survival of the fittest.
As students, if we want to survive in such an environment, we can only help each other.
Thus, the Student Autonomous Group came into being.
Unlike grown-up Ursus people, the blood of the autonomous group's people is not yet filled with Ursus's strict rules and indifference, is not filled with such strong malice, and has not chosen to be as corrupt as the Ursus nobles.
The dim sky became even darker, and the heavy clouds that blocked out the sunlight were becoming impossible to distinguish the surface outline, which meant the arrival of night.
The air was filled with the strange smell of Originium dust, as well as the burnt stench left by many things burning.
Buildings, vehicles, anything that can burn, and even... people.
"General Dong, where are we going next?"
Someone asked quietly in the dark ruins.
"Click, click." Someone lit a torch, and the children huddled in the dark revealed their true faces.
The girl in the lead held a sharp axe in her hand and looked through the cracks in the darkness at her home which had turned into ruins.
"We'll go to the lower city and find a car from there." Although she said this, her eyes were full of confusion.
Because she also knew that it was already after the natural disaster, the cities around Chernobyl might have been cut off from each other long ago, and the well-informed people might have left long ago.
At this time, there were no cars left for them on the edge of the city.
"But...but we have no food." Someone in the team said timidly: "We haven't had dinner yet, nothing to eat...even, we don't even have water to drink..."
Lin Dong turned around and looked at the team following him.
Those people had clear eyes, but one could see despair in them. Their faces were sad, their lips were chapped, and they were covered in dust and dirt, looking like a group of unwanted teddy bears.
Ah, indeed no one wants it.
"…It's okay. We can always find some intact buildings and convenience stores on the way forward and just take some things." A girl next to Winter said.
She was wearing a tattered student uniform, and her ice-blue hair was covered with a layer of dust, but her eyes were still bright.
She held a map in her hand and said, "There is a large supermarket not far ahead. Let's go there first. We will definitely be able to find water and food. Let's hold on a little longer!"
Seeing that his companion had an idea, Winter raised his axe with a cold face and shouted: "You are right, don't worry, follow me, I guarantee you will survive!"
"Oh!" Someone in the team responded and shouted happily.
