Ark Journey

Then someone asked cautiously:

"you are?"

"Infected, the person who came to rescue you, I have already dealt with this person. Felicia can testify to this."

Xue Zhi used the same trick again, revealing the simulated Originium on her arm, and pointed at herself.

The same reaction appeared on the faces of those infected, and Xue Zhi, who did not suppress her voice, was heard by the people in the next cell.

"Are you going to rescue us!?"

For a while, such inquiries were heard everywhere.

Fortunately, Xue Zhi anticipated all this and constructed a vacuum soundproof area in advance.

He pressed his hand, signaling these people to stop making noise.

"Keep your voice down. If you're heard, you won't have a choice."

"select?"

"Well, because the environment outside is also very bad, you have two options to choose from. Either replace all the people in this mine and continue to stay here, continue to mine source stones and hand them over to the Ursus department that comes to collect source stones, or completely destroy this place and go outside to find opportunities for survival."

After a pause, giving those people time to think, Xue Zhi continued:

“The former will need to continue to endure the erosion of the Originium and be careful not to be discovered, while the latter will have to face the extremely cold weather outside. In addition, this place is very far north and there are almost no people. I cannot take all of you away.

These are the disadvantages of the two options. As for the advantages, think about them yourself. I will give you some time to think about it and give me your overall answer in the end. "

No one speaks.

Xue Zhi waited patiently.

After a while, someone asked:

“Can we trust you?”

"You have no choice in this regard. Of course, you can also choose to keep everything the same, and you continue to live this life while I do my thing."

The crowd fell into deep thought again, and then a few young people looked at each other and discussed in a low voice.

About a minute or two later, Felicia stood up and told Xue Zhi their choice.

"We're going to destroy this place!"

She said this through gritted teeth.

Hearing this answer, Xue Zhi smiled with satisfaction.

"Very good, wait a moment, I will go and ask other people what they think."

Xue Zhi, who had made a good start with Felicia, began to lobby other cells. Finally, at 11 o'clock at night, he collected everyone's ideas and informed them.

There were about a thousand people, and 70% of them chose to destroy this place and find other ways to make a living outside.

Xue Zhi’s voice was not loud, but it could be heard clearly in every corner of the cell, which had been noisy just now but was now silent.

"According to the principle of majority rule, your final fate is to destroy this place, so be prepared."

Iron boxes filled with compressed biscuits and purified water flew out and were then delivered to each cell.

"Food and medicine to suppress mineral sickness are limited to a certain amount for each person. Don't fight over them, or I will kill you."

Xue Zhi's cold voice sounded, mixed with mental power, making everyone who heard it feel a little uncomfortable.

What's more, there was a group of people lying on the ground who were trying to shout loudly to alert the guards when Xue Zhi was talking just now.

Their bodies were still decapitated and their blood was still wet, so no one would doubt Xue Zhi's words.

Rustling sounds began to be heard, and the infected people in the cell silently injected themselves with medicine and took out compressed biscuits to start chewing.

Xue Zhi released her mental power and began to look for a place to place the equipment.

After finding it, he gathered his strength and said to everyone:

"You can take a rest first. At about four in the morning, I will open the cell door and take you out."

Many infected people fell asleep after hearing this. They no longer cared whether Xue Zhi was lying to them. The dual effects of the potion and the food made them feel unusually relaxed and they felt like human beings again.

However, there are still many people who toss and turn and cannot fall asleep, even after a long day of work.

Xue Zhi ignored them. Everything was her own choice. She couldn't say for sure whether she would survive when she rushed out.

Everyone had their own thoughts. At around 3:30 in the morning, Xue Zhi opened the doors of all the cells.

Now is the time when people are most tired.

"Come out, I will help you burn all this to ashes!"

The infected people who heard the sound stood up one after another, and their eyes of different colors opened, flashing with inexplicable light.

The main door of the cell was as thin as paper in front of Xue Zhi. After breaking the necks of the two guards, he melted the door with fire.

"Keep quiet and get your weapons first."

There is no moon tonight, and thick dark clouds have obscured the last ray of light.

About a thousand people followed Xue Zhi out of the cell quietly. The extreme cold of the winter night made everyone shiver.

But no one shouted, they all covered their mouths tightly.

The brave men walked at the outside, and the mother held her young children in her arms, using her body temperature to warm their weak bodies.

Some people picked up the guards' weapons, while others pulled the corpses aside and took off their clothes to keep warm.

Xue Zhi didn't care about anything and led the group slowly through the mine.

With their mental strength stretched out, all the guards or patrols standing in their way had their necks broken.

Soon, they found where the equipment was.

"Go in, take as much as you can, these are the capital for your future survival."

The equipment warehouse is very large. In order to prevent the more than one thousand infected people from causing trouble, according to Xue Zhi's investigation, this mine has at least 500 guards. Although the equipment is not enough to arm all the infected people, it is enough to arm half of them.

Chapter 7: Action

Pieces of equipment were picked up one by one, and the sound of sharp blades rubbing against the air continued.

The invisible spiritual force spread throughout the entire mine, monitoring every place where people existed.

It didn't take long before all the infected were armed.

Looking at the majority of people in the crowd who were holding steel knives tightly and whose arms were still shaking slightly, Xue Zhi touched her chin and gave some advice.

"Let's divide into several groups. It's not easy to fight with so many people, and there's a chance of accidental injuries."

After saying that, he stretched out his fingers and pointed in several directions.

"This side and this side are where the soldiers rest. After you divide into groups, you can try to launch a surprise attack. If you are brave, follow me. We will take out those on night duty."

There was a brief chaos. Most of the infected were ordinary people before being thrown into the mine. Faced with an upcoming battle, they didn't know what to do.

However, among this group of people there were also some soldiers who had been infected with oripathy. They stood up and planned to take revenge on their former comrades.

With the help of these soldiers, the chaos was finally suppressed, at least on the surface, because Xue Zhi saw that most people still didn't know what they were thinking and were just watching what the people around them or who they had a good relationship with did.

But that's enough. There's nothing better than blaming a group of ordinary people too much.

"It's ready, right? Then let's split up."

Taking out the Fusang and fixing it around her waist, Xue Zhi's clothes shook and then turned into a set of black leather armor.

The crowd of about a thousand people was divided into three groups and walked in different directions.

There were the fewest people following Xue Zhi, so Felicia called all the people in their cell because she felt that Xue Zhi should be very strong.

On the way, someone whispered:

"Why are you helping us?"

"I am a cadre of an infected organization. Have you heard of the Integration Movement? Helping the infected out of suffering is our goal, and saving you is also a normal thing to do, but I have something more important to do, so after we get out of here, everything depends on you."

Just as everyone was looking at each other, an infected person suddenly said:

"Reunion Movement? I heard some soldiers discussing this while I was working the other day."

Xue Zhi became interested.

"What do they say about us?"

The man thought for a moment, then slowly said:

"They are probably a 'mob' or something like that. They also hope that you won't come here to fight, otherwise they will all die or be forced to become infected."

Xue Zhi curled her lips, obviously disagreeing with these comments.

“That’s nonsense. As long as they surrender, we won’t do anything to them. Although they are an organization of infected people, we won’t kill them all or force them. We hope that everyone can live in peace.

Of course, diehards and despicable people are another matter, their only fate is death."

As they were talking, they were already very close to the night duty team, so Xue Zhi stopped talking.

He drew his knife and gave the man behind him a look.

"Don't think about anything later. You are not very good at killing, so too much thinking will only ruin your life. Just fight and kill."

Because it concerned their own lives and property, everyone nodded seriously.

Turning his head, Xue Zhi took a deep breath. He had "seen" that the other two groups had already reached the barracks and were ready to take action.

[Wait a little longer...]

When the first knife stabbed into the body of a sleeping Ursus soldier, Xue Zhi moved.

"on!"

With a low roar from him, the crowd behind him followed him.

For a while, there were continuous roars to give courage, which was why Xue Zhi had to wait a little, otherwise their actions would definitely disrupt the other two sides.

In order to train this group of infected people, Xue Zhi did not use her full strength, but roughly imitated the strength of Hedley, an elite Sarkaz mercenary.

The battle began after a fireball blew open a solid iron door, revealing the bewildered face inside.

The infected took advantage of the sneak attack, but their physical condition and training level were terrible, so after they chopped down a few people at the beginning to allow the soldiers to react, the battle became a stalemate.

Fortunately, Xue Zhi is here to take the lead, otherwise it would be difficult to accomplish anything.

The main reason is that none of the infected people have awakened any powerful Originium skills, and the few that can be used are just minor tricks. The only one that is worth watching became listless after releasing three fireballs.

And if Xue Zhi hadn't rescued him, he would have been chopped into pieces by the approaching Ursus soldiers.

After a few blows, the Ursus soldiers saw that the person in charge was Xue Zhi. One of them dodged Xue Zhi's knife and asked loudly:

"Who are you? Why are you against Ursus?!"

With one blow, Xue Zhi beheaded the man who tried to attack from another direction. She took two steps back to prevent the blood from splattering on herself and narrowed her eyes.

"Reunion Movement, you know?"

Most of his attention was scattered throughout the field. Once he found someone slightly stronger, he would kill him with magic. Now he was free to chat with the enemy in front of him.

These infected need to be sharpened, but a whetstone cannot sharpen a knife.

After hearing the name of the Reunion Movement, the Ursus soldiers seemed shocked.

"Damn it, how did you infiltrate here!?"

"This is not something a dead person like you should know."

Without further reply, Xue Zhi drew her sword and stepped forward to engage in battle with the Ursus soldiers.

Although she simulated Hedley's strength, Xue Zhi's sharp weapons and indestructible body still allowed her to mow down the crowd with her unparalleled skill.

boom!

An explosion sounded, and the loud noise and dust caused by the collapse of the building instantly flew around.

"No, there is such a Originium technique? What Attack on Titan?"

Xue Zhi has discovered the cause of the strange noise. A naked giant who is five meters tall appeared there.

The house was broken by him.

An excited voice was heard, and the Ursus soldier, who had lost half of his body, shouted even though blood foamed from his mouth.
