We are from the future ark

On this day, all the famous singers and bands from Terra will come to Xiosta and accept Xiosta's invitation to hold a grand concert here.

But behind the darkness, few people know that tonight is a grand "banquet" for many people.

……

"Go ahead. Listen to the noise. The Obsidian Festival concert must have already started. This is our best opportunity!"

In the underground passage of Xiosta, at this moment, Kronin, who had changed into the uniform of an Ursus non-commissioned officer, led a group of people behind him, and in the dark and narrow underground passage, he relied on flashlights to illuminate the road and continued to move forward in the dark.

"*Ursus swears*, after taking so many detours, I finally found the right path."

Behind Kronin, an Ursus man who was wearing a non-commissioned officer's uniform similar to Kronin's but was obviously more powerful than Kronin couldn't help but curse. Walking in such a depressing and dark place for so long really made everyone feel depressed to the extreme.

We started in the morning and walked along this passage until the evening. During this time, we kept taking the wrong path, the road was unclear, and the passage was too narrow in some places, making the road, which was originally wide enough for one person, even more boring.

Everyone in Ursus has a bad temper, and they have been able to hold on to this situation until now, which shows that they have been able to control themselves very well.

"I'm so sorry that I couldn't get the blueprint of my underground passage out smoothly, and you guys have to go through a lot of unnecessary trouble."

Kronin, who was exploring the way ahead, also had a flattering smile on his face, and said to the Ursus officer behind him: "Don't worry, you are all elites of the Ursus Empire. The old mayor must have used most of his strength to maintain order. I believe we can take down the entire Xiosta in one fell swoop this time."

"——Of course." Upon hearing this, the Ursus officer looked a little better and nodded proudly. He seemed to want to straighten his chest, but he secretly felt that the narrow current situation prevented him from straightening his back.

This time, with Kronin's surrender, the people above already knew the specific defense strength of Xiosta. Kronin also mentioned Rhodes Island, which seemed to make the people above a little alert.

However, Kroning's words made the people of Ursus relax their vigilance again.

"Although it's unexpected that people from Rhodes Island would get involved in this kind of thing, the crisis in Xiosta has been resolved, and the volcanic eruption seems to have been handled by them. Now, they must have returned to Rhodes Island."

"Besides, even if they didn't go back, so what? They are only a dozen people at most, at most twenty or so people who are on vacation in Xiosta. I believe that with the sharpness of the Ursus Empire's vanguard, it must be easy to capture them!"

"My secret passage cannot be exposed. As long as we pass through the passage and explode in the city center, causing widespread panic, Rhodes Island will definitely be taken down by us this time!"

Kronin's words made several Ursus people in charge of this incident think about it. Finally, they allocated 500 people to the Ursus vanguard team to complete a central explosion through the secret passage in Xiosta City!

However, the Ursus side seemed to have their own considerations. Even if the 500-man vanguard team was ambushed and suffered losses, they could accept it.

As long as the secret passage is there, there is no need to worry even if we are ambushed this time. The scouts of Ursus are all elite soldiers. As long as one or two of them can escape back, they will know the reliability of this secret passage and launch a large-scale sneak attack on Xiosta.

These 500 people...just treat it as a test.

This was the plan of the Ursus senior executives, but Kronin didn't know that he had become a pawn in their hands. Maybe he was aware of it? But the current situation made him very helpless and he could only accept this fact.

Although he surrendered to Ursus, but... in order to gain the trust of the upper echelons, he must lead by example.

But this time, he seemed very confident. With the assistance of these 500 Ursus soldiers and his deployment of troops, taking down a small Xiosta... would be a piece of cake!

By then, no matter if it was the mayor, Ceylon, or the expressionless female killer, he would be above them all and become the real ruler of Xiosta!

……

At this moment, in the bar in Xiosta city, the bar here does not seem to be as lively as usual today. Although it is full of people, it is not as noisy as usual, which is very rare on days like the Obsidian Festival.

The reason is that this bar was booked by a big money sponsor and used as a resting place for people waiting for action.

On the other side of the counter, the young man took the cocktail handed to him by the bartender, took a sip, showed an expression of enjoyment, and nodded.

And in every part of the bar, almost every seat was occupied. Several people sat around the same table, some were talking, some were laughing, some were enjoying the pleasure of alcohol, and some were resting with their eyes closed. But many of them had one thing in common.

The way they were dressed - no matter how you looked at it, they didn't look like they were on vacation.

“—Almost.”

At this moment, the young man at the counter put down the wine glass in his hand, and a faint voice came slowly. At this moment, all the sounds in the entire bar stopped.

At one table, two women with dragon horns, one with dark blue hair and the other with white hair, stopped talking at the same time and subconsciously picked up the weapons beside them.

At one side, a man wearing a black hood, who placed a red long sword aside, and two men wearing heavy armor, who placed a blood-red axe and an electric saw aside, who were playing poker cards, put down their cards one after another.

The Caster girl in a sky blue swimsuit and a white coat, another Caster girl with long ears opposite her, and a man in a black coat with his face hidden behind a protective helmet, also stopped talking.

Over there, three Sarkaz, two women and one man, who were sitting together, stopped what they were doing at the same time and picked up the weapons beside them one after another.

...Many people like this, who were originally doing their own things in the bar, stopped what they were doing at this moment.

"…Everyone, are you ready?"

"Tonight, let's have a good hunt."

As the young man's light voice fell, the atmosphere of the entire bar changed a little. Countless faint dark auras gathered from behind everyone, making their pupils seem to have turned into a bloodthirsty blood red at this moment.

Tonight will be a night of hunting, the prey and the hunter, they are the hunters.

It’s just that the number of hunters is a little too much.

Chapter 40: The Ursus Vanguard Ambushed

"Handsome guys! Beautiful girls!"

"ARE YOU READY?!"

"YEAHHHHHHHH——!!!"XN

On the huge stage built in the city center of Xiosta, the real carnival of Xiosta's Obsidian Festival finally broke out at this moment.

That night, everyone in the city will stay awake all night! However, the reasons why they stay awake all night may not be exactly the same.

"Dear Ursus warriors, are you ready?"

In the underground secret passage, they felt the noise that was just around the corner. At this moment, the 500 people underground, who had been suppressed for almost a whole day, heard the long-lost vitality again, and finally found a point to vent their anger.

They all clenched their weapons. This time, most of them had guns in their hands. Although they were not the most advanced submachine guns, the guns in many people's hands were still quite lethal. Their basic shooting skills were accurate and they could kill one person with one shot.

This time, although they only have 500 people and are the vanguard team, they are also considered an elite force. Judging from their weapons and equipment, these soldiers cannot be said to be able to fight one against a hundred, but they can definitely fight one against ten.

Above is a narrow passage that can only accommodate one person at a time, so Kronen, as the leader, needs to go up first.

Due to the limited design conditions of this secret passage, there is no ladder here. Instead, several pits were dug in the surrounding sand to serve as stepping stones for moving up and down.

Such a design has no effect on the soldiers of Ursus, but it is indeed a bit difficult for civilian staff like Kroening. Although he is familiar with the interior, he is not very comfortable with this foothold, and usually relies on the help of his subordinates to move up and down.

At this time, he was climbing up by himself with some difficulty. However, after taking a few steps, he stepped on empty air and slipped down.

“Hahahahahaha!”

Seeing Kronin sliding down in a panic, the Ursus soldiers behind him burst into laughter, not trying to hide their ridicule at all.

However, facing the ridicule of the Ursus soldiers behind him, Kronin's face turned blue and purple, but he couldn't get angry at the moment and had to swallow his anger.

Although he is now nominally the superior of this group of soldiers, the command authority does not lie in his hands. He has no real power. To put it bluntly, he is just a figurehead commander.

Kroning thought over and over again before he suppressed his anger. However, he gritted his teeth and thought in his heart that once he took down Xiosta, his status in Ursus would be very important. At that time, it would be easy to deal with these few people!

Thinking of this, Kroning stopped caring and stood up again.

"Ok?"

However, the moment Kroening stood up, he suddenly felt something. He touched his butt which was hit hard just now and suddenly felt that something was wrong.

What… There’s only soft soil underneath, why does it hurt so much?

"What's wrong? Are you scared of falling?"

"Yeah! If it doesn't work, let's find someone else. We'll go up and help you first! Hahahaha!"

"——Don't interrupt!"

However, contrary to expectations, this time Kronin angrily rebuked the soldiers and said to the group of people with a serious face: "Listen carefully! Is there any sound?"

"sound?"

However, Kronin's angry rebuke made the Ursus soldiers look at each other in bewilderment. Unfortunately, the noise above was so loud that even though they were underground, they could not hear all the sounds.

But Kroning, who was very close, only felt a cold sweat breaking out on his back and a faint sound ringing in his ears.

"Beep, beep, beep..."

"——Go quickly!"

The more Kroening thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. The sense of crisis in his heart made him run outside like a madman. This time, perhaps because of his brain's instinctive desire to survive, he was able to climb up without any hindrance.

However, at this moment, in the distance, W, dressed in mercenary clothes, was playing with the remote control in his hand, revealing a subtle and extremely moving smile.

"Now, let's count down to three!"

Below, the enthusiasm on the stage had reached a climax, and the host raised three fingers to all the audience!

"3!"

"2!" Countless audiences followed closely below the stage.

"1." The next moment, W followed everyone's voice and pressed the button in his hand with a smile.

"Bang." W let out a soft sound, followed by a violent and dull explosion coming from underground in the distance!

"boom--!"

All I heard was a sound as if the earth was shaking, accompanied by the trembling of the earth. However, all of this meant nothing to the noisy crowd on the other side of the stage.

The screams at the top of the voice covered up all other sounds, and the bombs exploding underground were completely drowned out by the noise of the people.

The explosion underground caused the land above to tremble and even collapse. Screams were accompanied by the sound of the hollowed-out ground collapsing. One hole after another, left over from the bombing, appeared on the ground, leading to the underground.

At this moment, amidst a gust of wind, sand and rocks, several figures suddenly fell towards the ground!

"Om-!"

The sound of the chainsaw starting up was heard immediately. In front of the Ursus soldiers who had just crawled up from being hit by the dirt, Big Bob holding the chainsaw stood in front of all of them!

On the other side, the man holding a blood-red knife and the burly man holding a heavy axe were also blocking the other side.

"Everyone! Put down your weapons!"

Only a small number of the dusty Ursus soldiers were left in the explosion. However, when they managed to survive and looked up, they discovered that the top of the secret passage that had hidden their whereabouts had disappeared.

The starry sky was right before their eyes, but next to them were many people wearing different clothes, but pointing weapons at them.

Among them, there are weapons of mass destruction such as howitzers.

Some Ursus soldiers wanted to raise their guns, but they found that the collapse had left only one tenth of their weapons intact. Many of their guns were covered by the earth and had long been scrapped.

The more sophisticated the firearms are, the more maintenance they require. Under the current circumstances, these firearms are obviously no longer usable.

They were without weapons, most of them were injured, and surrounded, and they had no way to call for backup...

It seems... it's time to surrender?

"lay down your weapon!"

“…Bang.”

Finally, with the shouts of the Integration Movement above and the pressure of weapons, the first Ursus soldier dropped his gun that had lost its lethality and slowly raised his hand.

Then, the second one appeared, and the third one...

The timid mood is contagious. Once the first one appears, the next will follow. For mankind to move forward in adversity, it needs a pioneer, and the same goes for giving up.

After a while, only about half of the Ursus soldiers were left in the explosion, and the surrounding team of only about a hundred people were completely captured.

After that, Big Bob, holding a chainsaw, came up and said to Herman, who was leading their operation:

"I looked through it, but I couldn't find Kronin."

“…This guy runs really fast.”

Hermann was a little annoyed when he heard this. Although this operation was jointly carried out by Chen Qi and him, although the vanguard of Ursus has been dealt with, he still can't sleep or eat well without capturing Kronin.

If he escapes again, even if Ursus sends more troops to fight next time, it will be useless without the support of Rhodes Island.

"I can only hope... Mr. Chen Qi and his team can stop Kroning..."

Chapter 41: Crazy Kroening, amazing treatment

“Cough, cough, cough, cough—!”

On the other side, on the streets of Xiosta city, there was a dusty voice, which was extremely conspicuous. The hairstyle that was originally very expensive to style was made extremely messy by the yellow soil and sand, and the clean military uniform was also a mess.

A fellow who looked like a beggar fished out of the sand and soil - no one could have imagined that this was Kronin, who had led a group of Ursus vanguards and was planning to launch a sneak attack here a few minutes ago.

At this time, he had completely understood that his whereabouts had long been exposed, and even that he would lead the Ursus soldiers back to Xiosta through the secret passage. All of this was within the other party's expectations!

It turned out that it wasn't that they didn't discover the secret passage, but that they were using the secret passage to lure them into attacking!
