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

"It's not impossible."

"Screw you."

Mo Changge couldn't help but look at Ludmila. Ludmila was top-notch in both appearance and figure.

If Alice is a bud about to bloom, then Ludmila is a blooming peony, elegant and luxurious, full of aristocratic air. Her every frown and smile, even the roll of her eyes, has a soul-stirring feeling.

She was like a bright red peach, which was obviously ripe, but because it grew on a dangerous cliff and no one picked it, it refused to fall to the ground obediently and just hung on the branch. It was so ripe that it had a hint of intoxicating fragrance, but also had a fresh feeling.

"Tomorrow, we will almost be at the institute."

Ludmila looked up.

In the falling night, all you can vaguely see is a small hill standing on the snowy field.

"Ah."

Mo Changge nodded.

Calculating the distance, it’s about the same.

"Rest early, we have to travel tomorrow."

the next day.

The snow and wind stopped.

The sun rises, spreading thousands of rays of light.

Looking around, it's all white snow.

And beneath the white snow are the ruins of broken walls. There are many buildings that have not yet been buried by the snow, and the upper half is exposed.

From these tall buildings, one can vaguely see the former glory of mankind.

The group came to a high ground from which they could overlook the surrounding area of ​​several kilometers.

“See that building in the distance?”

Ludmila stood on a high rock, turned around and said to Mo Changge, "That's the research base."

Mo Changge stepped forward and followed Ludmila's gaze.

Among the dilapidated buildings, there is one that is particularly tall and large, far exceeding the other surrounding buildings.

It is more like a fortress than a building.

On the outskirts of the research base, there are densely packed machine guns, turrets, and missile launchers. In the middle, there is also a huge high-energy laser cannon with a caliber of several meters.

It's quite similar to the game.

However, in the game, it was just a picture, but when it was really in front of you, you could really feel its enormity.

"It was originally positioned as a research base with self-defense capabilities. The research base is highly armed. Over the past decade or so, it has repelled countless attacks from Letcher."

Ludmila seemed to be recalling the past, telling of its former glory.

"It's just that now, it has been occupied by Letcher, and the target of the armed forces has become us."

I felt a bit sad and regretful when I said this.

Chapter 117: Nuclear bomb for blasting?!

I learned this from Ludmila.

There were some malfunctions at the research base at first, but they were minor and did not affect the normal progress of the research. People thought that the equipment at the research base had fallen into disrepair and was a natural phenomenon, so they did not pay any attention to it.

However, as time went on, more and more failures occurred in the research base, and the scope of the impact became wider and wider.

When the staff at the research base came to their senses, they found that most of the base had been eroded, and it was too late to clean it up.

"Until now, no one knows how the iron wall that gave people a sense of security fell."

Ludmila was filled with emotion.

After all, that was where she had worked for a long time.

Many of her colleagues died in that upheaval.

"Strong fortresses are often breached from the inside," Mo Changge said meaningfully as he looked at the research base that had turned into a monster, "Perhaps, this is no exception."

Although it was not explicitly stated in the game, Mo Changge could basically guess it.

That is Ark's artificial intelligence AI Anik.

Just like before, Anik deliberately sent the infected Nikki to the ground as Letcher's food.

However, Mo Changge didn’t know why it did this yet.

Ludmila heard the hidden meaning in Mo Changge's words, her expression changed slightly, and she turned around and asked, "Are you saying there is a traitor?"

"I'm just saying, there's a possibility,"

Mo Changge didn't have any solid evidence, and even if he told them, they might not believe it. Instead, they would think he had ulterior motives. However, he still wanted to remind them as a precaution.

"Don't trust too much, especially something that seems to be taken for granted."

Ludmila was very smart and immediately understood what Mo Changge meant.

"You mean, inside the Ark...?"

The thought scared herself.

If there is a problem inside the Ark, then the problem will be serious.

Mo Changge didn't say anything more, just stopped there and turned to look in the direction of the research base.

"Pay attention to the Ark, especially the high-level ones, including the artificial intelligence, don't trust them easily."

"Ah."

Ludmila nodded slightly, still digesting this explosive news.

She believed in Mo Changge. If he said that, it must not be groundless.

Everyone continued to move forward towards the research base and stopped when they were two kilometers away. At this time, they could already see the entire research base.

It is dozens of meters high, like a small mountain, and stands out among all the tall and dilapidated buildings.

Mo Changge observed the nearby snow and kicked out, creating a gust of wind that blew away the snow on the ground, revealing the debris below.

It's Letcher's.

There are servant-level Lecher Jianbi, Scorpion Tail, etc.

From the outside, it looked new and seemed to have been the scene of a battle before.

But the strange thing is that there was no trace of Nikki or other troops found nearby, let alone corpses, there were not even any wreckage fragments, while there were a lot of Letcher's fragments.

And it's like it's been crushed by a crusher.

Everyone was puzzled and puzzled, this was very unusual.

Mo Changge also had doubts.

Picking up the fragment of Letcher on the ground, it was a broken limb, as if it had been torn by something.

"boom--!"

At this moment, the ground suddenly shook, and Mo Changge immediately asked everyone to hide.

When everyone looked up, a chill rose up from their backs.

I saw the research base in the distance suddenly move, twisting its body like a monster.

Looking more closely, I found that four limbs similar to those of a crab had grown from the bottom of the base. It was these four limbs that supported the entire hill-like base.

The research base has been completely transformed into a monster!

In front of that huge body, the people behind the shelter were like ants.

Everyone inevitably felt a little hesitant.

It's just too big.

At this moment, an even more shocking scene occurred.

The outpost, which looked like a giant turtle, opened its bloody mouth, bit Letcher in front of it, swallowed it into its mouth, and began to chew.

The sound of "click, click" was heard constantly.

Chilling.

It's eating its own kind!

Mo Changge now understood why the remains of the Letcher on the ground were so incomplete.

They were all eaten by the research base in front of us!

The original book doesn't say the outpost is so brutal.

It's no longer a building, it's more like a monster.

How to fight this?

Everyone looked at each other.

If it's Letcher, he can still deal with it, no matter if it's a master level or a lord level, even if it's a tyrant level, he can still fight.

But this one in front of me...

It's really like a dog biting a hedgehog - I don't know where to start.

Mo Changge recalled the strategy for defeating this BOSS in the previous game, and carefully observed the body of the research institute base. He found that except for being a little more ferocious, it was not much different from the one in the game.

I felt a little relieved.

As long as there is a weakness and a health bar, you can attack.

Seeing that it was getting late and it would be dark in a few hours, Mo Changge immediately called everyone together and began pre-war deployment.

"Now, make tactical arrangements."

"Scouting troops, head to the nearby high ground and monitor the research base and the movements of Letcher troops within five kilometers. If you spot Letcher troops, report immediately."

"However, do not come into contact with Letcher and make your own protection your first priority."

"Yes!"

"Unlimited Forces, Ludmila and Alice will be responsible for providing flank support. If Letcher breaks through the defense line, kill him immediately."

"Understood, Rabbit, ah, it's the Commander!"

Most of the people had been arranged, and Mo Changge looked at Barbie Long in the corner.

"Polar troops, your mission is to rush to the front of the research base, pretend to attack, attract Letcher's firepower, and at the same time, blast the supporting joints under the outpost."

"what?"

Barbielon, who had just acted as if it had nothing to do with her, was dumbfounded when she heard this.

What, let them attract fire?

Still blasting?

Barbielon wondered if she had heard it wrong.

Isn't this going to die?

The area around the outpost was filled with Letchers, at least a thousand of them.

Moreover, blasting can only be effective if it is done very close and with powerful blasting bombs.

However, ordinary bombs can't cause any damage to the outpost in front of us.

"Don't worry," Mo Changge seemed to have guessed what Barbie Long was thinking, and comforted her with a smile, "I have a nuclear bomb for blasting here, you can go without worry, it's powerful enough."

A nuclear bomb for blasting?!

Barbielong's eyes suddenly widened.

You didn't even think about bringing them back alive!
