NIKKE, the end of the world is coming, but the system is a hundred years late

"Now is the time to carry out the mission. If you have any questions, please ask after the mission is over."

"Hey, you're taking sides a bit too much," Anis snorted, "It's obviously the commander who's cheating... huh?"

Halfway through her conversation, Anis looked at Marian, then at Mo Changge on the other side. Her beautiful amber eyes rolled around, revealing a sly smile.

"Are you attracted to the Commander?"

Marianne was stunned at first; she didn't expect Anis to play by her own rules.

"Please don't talk nonsense."

Anis said to herself, "That's true. The commander is so handsome, gentle, and considerate of his subordinates. He has no prejudice against Nikki."

He winked at Marianne playfully.

"Even if you do, it's not strange, right?"

Marianne was caught off guard and her speech was a little unclear.

"Please don't joke about this!"

But his ears were already a little red.

After saying that, he turned around and walked away without paying any more attention to Anis.

"The mission location is nearby."

Anis chased after him with a sly smile on her face.

"Hey, don't walk so fast."

"Annis!"

Rabbi called Anis with a serious look.

Anis then stopped and took another bite of the roujiamo, her words becoming unclear.

"I know, I know. It's just a joke, why take it so seriously? Life would be so boring if you always have a stern face. I'm almost suffering from jade syndrome."

After finishing their meal and taking a short rest, everyone set off.

After walking for forty minutes, everyone arrived at the subway station.

"Is this the place? Why can't we see any trace of the advance team?"

Agnes stood at the top of the stairs, looking down and around.

Chapter 12 Erosion!

There were ruins everywhere, with weeds growing one meter high. It was so desolate that not even a living creature could be seen, and there were no signs of fighting nearby.

"It should be here."

Marian confirmed the coordinates.

Confused, Anis jumped down from the wrecked car and pointed around.

"I told you there's nothing left here."

Lavi, carrying a gun, walked towards the subway.

"Let's look for it together."

Seeing that there was no better solution, everyone followed.

Mo Changge, who was walking in the middle of the team, said nothing, staring at the prompts that kept popping up from the system.

"Rescue 120 people and earn points."

"Rescue 370 people and earn points."

"Rescue ninety-seven people and earn 97 points."

"Rescue 725 people, earn points."

"Rescue..."

It seems that this is the blacksmith's lair.

Mo Changge turned off the system prompt and looked around.

The surroundings seemed no different from before.

Looking around, there were only mottled rails, dilapidated platforms, broken stairs, and rusty trains that had been crashed into pieces. Everything looked no different from ordinary ruins.

But only he knew that this place was full of dangers and was a trap set by the Tyrant-level Letcher blacksmith.

The sudden increase in points obtained nearby is the best evidence.

Moreover, among these points, there are not only human points, but also Nikki's...

At this time, the Ark's liaison officer Xie Futi sent a message.

"… Rabbi, I finally got through to you. The black box of the transport plane has been analyzed and the data has been sent to you."

The sound was crackling, the signal was very poor, and even the video call was intermittent.

"receive."

Data transfer complete.

After analyzing the data, Rabi's eyeballs stopped moving for a moment and his pupils shrank suddenly.

Turn around.

"Crack——!"

Rabi pointed his gun at Marian who was searching from a distance.

"Marianne, don't move."

"Yes."

Marian didn't know what was going on, but she still trusted her teammates to stop.

Rabbi's eyes were fixed on Marianne, as cautious as if he were dealing with Letcher.

And she also said something earth-shattering.

"Did you destroy the transport plane?"

Agnes next to her was stunned for a moment, then surprised and looked at Marianne in disbelief.

"……what?"

Rabbi calmly stated the contents of the black box analysis sent by Shefuti.

"Two explosions occurred inside the transport plane."

"The type of explosive has been identified. It is essential for this mission. The bomb has an identification code and cannot explode without someone activating it."

"And the identification code, Marianne... only you have it."

Marianne was stunned by what Rabi said and almost instinctively denied it.

"No."

Rabbi continued to ask.

"what is your purpose?"

She didn't relax her gun.

Marian's eyes were dazed and she was very confused about Rabi's accusations.

"right here."

Rabbi pointed his gun at Marian, his finger on the trigger.

"Answer me! If you don't answer, I will execute you immediately!"

At this moment, Marianne suddenly muttered to herself in a low voice, like a broken radio transmitter, sending out a series of meaningless words.

"right here."

"right here."

"right here……"

She lowered her head and her expression could not be seen clearly.

This mechanical sound echoed in the empty and silent subway station, like the whisper of the devil, eerie and terrifying, making one's scalp tingle.

Shefti's exclamation came from the communicator.

"Corrosion reaction detected!"

"It's Marianne!"

Marianne raised her head, her eyes had turned scarlet!

Infected by the Letcher virus!

Anis was shocked and immediately pointed the gun at Marian, gritting her teeth and said angrily: "When exactly...!"

Although her relationship with Marianne was not very good, there was no ill will between them, not to mention that they were teammates.

What she hated even more was that she hadn't noticed anything unusual for such a long time.

At this moment, Letcher's "buzzing" sound suddenly sounded from all directions, followed by a rumbling earth vibration.

Everyone was shocked and immediately formed a battle formation.

Countless Letchers broke out from the ground under the subway station and swept towards the crowd like a tide.

There were so many of them, there were tens of thousands!

It's a trap!

When Anis saw the dense army of Letchers that almost blocked the entire subway passage, she suddenly felt her hands and feet go cold and her heart sank to the bottom.

There are tens of thousands of Letchers, including many of the transcendent and master levels. Not only them, but even a squadron sent from the Ark cannot compete with them.

The situation suddenly became extremely critical.

Anis turned around and joked to everyone.

"Want to leave a will? There's not enough time."

Suddenly, I seemed to remember something.

"Oh, by the way, this monster will eat Nikki. It seems that it will be useless even if I keep her."

Anyone could see the hardness in her smile.

Although Nikki can be repaired, that only works if the head is not damaged. If the head is damaged, she will still die. Moreover, Letcher, codenamed Blacksmith, will also corrode her nerves.

"Commander, I will attack in the southwest direction and open a gap to attract firepower. You can break out from there."

Rabi immediately made a battle plan. How could a battle-hardened Rabi not know that this would lead to his 100% death?

This order clearly requires self-sacrifice.

As a comrade-in-arms, Anis immediately understood what Rabi meant.

"There are too many of them. You can't handle them all by yourself. I'll join you."

"Annis..."

Rabbi was about to say something but was interrupted by Anis.

"No need to say anything. In this situation, every one alive counts." Anis picked up the grenade launcher, put it on her shoulder, and said casually, "Besides, we are emotionless Letcher killing machines."

Then he turned around and said to Mo Changge,

"Hey, you haven't told me yet, are you a special envoy of the Ark?"

Mo Changge didn't quite understand Anis's train of thought. It was such a late hour and she was still asking such a question.

So Mo Changge refused to answer.

"Don't tell you."
