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

"However, for an excellent commander like you, it is not difficult to complete this task."

"It's no use saying nice things,"

Mo Changge sneered at such brainwashing PUA rhetoric and put away the cigarette in front of him.

"Show us something practical."

Anderson was stunned.

It was the first time he had seen such a direct commander.

"You don't have to worry about that. The application has been submitted to the top management. With your achievements, it is a great achievement. I believe that you will be rewarded soon."

"I helped Ark bring energy, eliminated the Letchers within ten kilometers, and solved a big problem on the ground. I deserve the reward," Mo Changge said slowly, "I mean, besides this."

Anderson was not stupid either. He understood what Mo Changge meant and said with a smile.

"Then what do you want?"

"Outpost."

Mo Changge snapped his fingers crisply.

It's easier to talk to smart people.

"Outpost?"

Anderson was stunned.

Outpost, the area where the Ark's underground connects to the surface.

It was the battlefield where a fierce battle with Letcher took place decades ago.

Although it looks no different from the real ground, the land there has been polluted and no grass grows due to years of bombing.

Not only is it uninhabited, but there is also a shortage of food, insufficient water, and difficulty in supplying.

More importantly, that is the Ark's stronghold on the ground, and also the front line of humanity's confrontation with Letcher on the ground.

There would often be harassment from Letcher.

Sacrifices are common.

Not to mention the commander, even Nikki didn't want to live in that place.

Mo Changge actually asked to go on his own initiative.

Is there anything he can't get over?

"That place is not a good place. It is dangerous and barren. It is also far from the Ark. I personally do not recommend you to go there."

Anderson said.

I became curious about the young commander in front of me.

"But why did you go there?"

Mo Changge smiled.

"For the sake of humanity, is this an acceptable reason?"

Anderson naturally wouldn't believe Mo Changge's nonsense.

He knew that the other party was not going to tell him, so he did not ask any further questions.

"In other words, you are willing to be transferred to the outpost, right?"

"It's not a transfer," Mo Changge stretched out a finger and shook it, "but I want the highest authority of the outpost."

"Highest authority?"

"Yes."

"That is to say, the jurisdiction of the outpost, personnel appointments and dismissals, material deployment, and troop command all belong to me."

The outpost was a barren place of exile, and only commanders who made mistakes were sent there.

The protagonist in the original novel was exiled there.

Mo Changge naturally wouldn't be so foolish as to only propose this condition.

His goal was to use the outpost as a base and expand in all directions.

But the outpost belongs to Ark. When it was not developed, no one cared about it. But once it developed, it is hard to say that there would not be jealous people who wanted to "take advantage of it".

It will be easy to be constrained everywhere by then.

Therefore, what he wanted was the supreme power in the outpost.

Anderson was stunned and even the cigarette in his hand stopped in mid-air.

"This is the lion's mouth!"

Although the outpost was desolate and uninhabited, it was a little far away, the living conditions were difficult, and it was often attacked by Letcher.

But it is one of the few strongholds of the Ark between underground and ground.

What Mo Changge wants is not just a stronghold, but an autonomous region separated from the Ark!

"I can't make the decision on this matter."

Anderson didn't agree, but he didn't refuse either.

Ark had never seen such a case before.

"Then you can ask the higher-ups, the central government."

Mo Changge made a "please go ahead" gesture.

He was determined to capture the outpost base.

Even if he fails this time, he will choose another place to build a base.

It’s just that it’s much more troublesome to establish a new base.

"Ah."

Anderson nodded, silently took out his cell phone, and walked out of the office.

Ten minutes later.

He walked in from outside.

It seems to have failed.

Mo Changge thought.

However, this was within his expectation.

Unless the top leaders of the central government are extremely stupid, they would not hand over such an important place to themselves.

"agreed."

"Forget it then... huh?"

Now it was Mo Changge's turn to be stunned.

What? Agreed?

"Ah."

Anderson put away his phone and said, "I have submitted this matter to the higher-ups, and they have agreed to your request."

Mo Changge was stunned for a moment.

Does this work?

He still underestimated the stupidity of the Ark's top management.

Just after Mo Changge left the office, Ingrid walked in from outside.

"What about the combat data in the power plant?"

Anderson was thinking about smoking a cigarette, but when he touched his pocket, it was empty. Then he remembered his cigarette and gave it to Mo Changge.

I couldn't help but smile bitterly.

He originally wanted to give only one to Mo Changge.

Unexpectedly, Mo Changge didn't consider himself an outsider at all and just took advantage of the situation to steal.

Chapter 49: If something is abnormal, there must be something wrong; if a person is abnormal, there must be a knife

Those are cigarettes made from real tobacco, completely different from the counterfeits made from chemical raw materials.

The price was extremely high, and his monthly salary was only enough to buy two packs. Only the upper-class aristocrats could afford it.

He picked up this bag when he went to a dinner party.

"The data is...very strange."

"Ok?"

"The concentration of Elvira particles near the power plant is very high. Letcher's strength is much higher than before, and in previous detections, a tyrant-level Letcher was discovered."

"So, they escaped from the power plant as a small team?"

Anderson fell into thought.

The power plant is an important target for the Ark to maintain its energy supply, and an investigation was launched several months ago. The top management attached great importance to it and even personally inquired about it.

After sacrificing several of Nikki's troops, they finally got the information about the power plant Letcher.

The Letchers there are not only numerous and high-level, but also seem to have undergone some kind of evolution and possess thinking that other Letchers do not have.

Compared to the regular Letcher, they appear to be more cunning.

This means that they cannot be treated the same way as ordinary Letchers.

"No," Ingrid shook her head, her expression becoming serious, "They didn't escape from the power plant, but - eliminated all the Letchers."

Anderson was stunned when he heard this.

I couldn't believe my ears and asked subconsciously.

"What did you say?"

"Like you, I also found this battle report incredible when I received it." Ingrid recalled that she also found it incredible when she first saw the information. "However, the information brought back by several units sent out is the same."

Anderson was stunned for a while.

He had previously thought that he would be a talented commander who would surpass his peers, so he sent Mo Changge and the others to the power plant just to test his potential.

He would never have thought that the ceiling of your efforts is just the starting line for others.

They just took over the entire power plant.

Thinking back to the unreasonable request Mo Changge had just made, it suddenly seemed reasonable.

In other words, Anderson now feels that giving him the entire outpost is not enough.

Before, he thought that the top management were a bunch of brainless fools, idiots, short-sighted parasites who only knew how to intrigue, were selfish, and had short-sighted views.

Now it seems that if he agreed immediately without any reason, could he have known something?

"There must be something fishy going on here."

Ingrid was thoughtful and felt that this was unlikely to be something a new commander and a few ordinary Nikkis could accomplish.

"Although it's still unclear, it's worth investigating."

If the newly graduated commander and Nikki were like this, the ground would have been recaptured by humans long ago.

Is it still necessary to linger underground like now?

"Ah."

Anderson nodded.
