NIKKE, after maxing out the favorability, all the Nikkis are not right

"You know why I'm here, this..."

"Call me Deputy Commander, Deputy Commander Duowan."

Duo Wan raised his teacup and said arrogantly.

EH suppressed his inner discomfort and said, "Deputy Commander Duo Wan, let's be frank. But before we start the negotiations, I have a few questions for you. The first question is, did Ark intentionally release Letcher to massacre the Outer Rim?"

"I don't know. This question is not my responsibility. You have to ask someone else." Duo Wan said disdainfully.

"Passing the buck, huh? That's very much like the Ark people's style. Then the second question is, why have you always left the Outer Rim alone?" EH suppressed his anger and asked again.

"I've said it many times before, the Ark doesn't have enough resources to support the Outer Rim."

"Do you really think there are enough resources down there to support a bunch of people who do nothing but clamor for this and that?" Duo Wan pointed a finger at his head and sneered, "Stop kidding! You don't deserve it."

"People in the Outer Rim are people too!"

"Who are you to say we're unworthy?" EH shouted angrily, "Because of Letcher, so many people died in the Outer Rim, so much blood was shed. Why can you still be so high and mighty and unmoved?"

"If they don't deserve it, then they don't deserve it. If you have the guts, get a citizen chip for everyone in the Outer Rim."

Duo Wan scoffed impudently, "According to Ark law, as long as you hold a citizen chip card, even if you're a dog, the Ark will provide you with resources to live comfortably. But who can blame you for not having any? Since you're not citizens of the Ark, why should the Ark waste its own resources supplying the Outer Rim?"

EH gritted his teeth and said cruelly, "But no matter what, the Outer Rim needs the support of the Ark. Without Nikki, we can't deal with Letcher's attack. I don't ask you to open the city walls, but even if it's just to send a few mass-produced teams to garrison, such a request should be achievable, right?"

"I understand your request. The question now is, what price are you willing to pay?" Duo Wan narrowed his eyes and asked back.

"I am willing to surrender myself and promise that Steps to Heaven will never again carry out any terrorist attacks against the Ark." EH pointed at himself and said with determination, "For you, arresting me will be a great achievement. This achievement will surely elevate your position in the government. So, is this proposal sufficient?"

Duo Wan stroked his chin and pondered for a moment, but a hint of cunning flashed in his eyes.

"Um..."

"You're right, arresting you is indeed a great achievement."

"But what if I tell you that I have a better way to take the credit without even paying any price?"

Click.

Duo Wan flipped his wrist slightly, took out a black pistol from the drawer and pointed it at EH.

"A mere terrorist from the Outer Rim dares to bark and make demands in front of me."

"Who do you think you are?"

"Let me tell you this: you, the place you live in, and all the people there are garbage and scum. You deserve to live in a garbage dump like that forever and die miserably, just like you are doing now."

"You...more than ten thousand!!"

click!

Duo Wan pulled the trigger, but at the most critical moment, his pistol jammed.

"Damn it."

"how come!"

Duo Wan yelled and cursed. Just as he was about to pull the trigger again, EH had already lifted up the chair under him and smashed it hard on his face.

Because he was caught off guard and thrown to the ground, Duo Wan could only watch EH escape. Helplessly, he picked up the walkie-talkie and roared loudly: "Don't fucking stand there, the target is running away!"

"Catch her for me!"

Inside the hotel, the soldiers scattered on various floors received the news and immediately took action.

Duo Wan intentionally changed the meeting place to a hotel.

If it were the central government, with its complicated internal factions, it would be difficult for him to resort to violence. But in a place like this, he could easily set up an ambush and take the credit for himself.

"There she is, we found her!"

"Fire immediately!"

Da da da!

Bullets flew through the corridor, punching dozens of small holes in the walls.

EH, who was hiding behind an overturned metal table, had her chest heaving rapidly. Although the firepower from Dowan's side was very dense, fortunately she had made some preparations before coming to the Ark. There were also several insiders in the Ark. At this moment, someone happened to have taken advantage of the chaos to sneak into the power room and shut down the power system of the entire building.

"what's the situation?"

"Someone cut off the power!"

"What should we do now? An assault?"

"She might have a gun, so we'd better not act rashly. Let's just keep fighting her. By the time reinforcements arrive, she'll have nowhere to hide!"

"Oh, no place to hide?" Taking advantage of the momentary chaos in the team of tens of thousands, EH jumped directly from the window of the 15th floor building, and then fell with a plop on the air cushion that the insider had laid out.

"Thanks."

"Leave the Ark immediately! Your identity has been exposed. The police and the government will definitely hunt you down."

After EH whispered something to the insider on the other end of the headset, he turned around and squeezed into the crowded crowd.

Dowan had no choice but to let her walk away in the crowd. After all, if this matter got out of hand, both Anderson and Burnim would definitely blame him for his series of actions against the Outer Zone.

"Damn, I didn't expect that woman to get away."

"But it doesn't matter. There are plenty of opportunities. As long as we provoke the people in the Outer Zone a few more times, those terrorist organizations will definitely be unable to resist attacking the Ark." Duo Wan sat back in his chair with a dark thought in his mind, his eyes wide open. "When that happens, I'll find an excuse to lead the troops to clean out the Outer Zone and turn the place upside down. If I do that, even Alnik will have to award me a first-class merit."

"Humph..."

"Bernim, Anderson, your days of triumph will not last long."

"This time, I want to see what other methods you have to stop these Outer Rim pariahs."

Duo Wan raised the corner of his mouth in a sneer.

In order to become a higher official, he has used all his tricks this time.

First of all, the Ark could not provide any assistance to the Outer Zone. This was an unspoken rule that had been established since the establishment of the Ark. As for why, it was because in an extreme society like the Ark, there could not be no dark zone. Things that were usually shady, such as the source of Nikki's brain, illegal drugs, the dark web, and human experiments, could all be carried out openly in the Outer Zone, far away from the law.

But correspondingly, the Ark must balance the relationship between the outer area and the Ark.

The Ark cannot let the people in the Outer Rim live too comfortably, nor does it want them to gather together to rebel against the Ark.

But now, under the stimulation of Duowan, the Ark and the Outer Rim have no choice.

Either compromise or be eliminated.

No matter which path he chooses, Duo Wan will be able to profit from it. After all, he is determined to eradicate the faction in the outer area. Even if he compromises, he will not be the one to be cut when the flesh is cut.

"Although there were some mistakes, as long as the result is correct, that's all that matters."

"Hmph, you rubbish from the Outer Rim, clean your necks for me! It won't be long before I turn all of you into military merits on my head."

.......

Half a day later.

Inside the Ark, in a dark and remote alley.

EH was huddled in the garbage dump, silently waiting for the night to come.

Because of the wanted order issued by Dowan, there were still some Nikkis and policemen on the streets searching for her whereabouts, but she was not in a hurry. As long as she waited until dark and early morning, she could quietly take the elevator that had been prepared long ago and return to the outer area.

"It's in the middle of nowhere, and there's nothing here except a bunch of trash."

"Those policemen won't find their way here, absolutely not."

Lying in the stinking garbage dump, EH opened his tired eyes and looked up at the false sky above his head.

Everyone in the Outer Zone believed that the Ark was a wonderful place, just like what was described in the Bible, a promised land flowing with milk and honey, a paradise where everyone could have enough food and drink.

She once agreed with this, and later joined the terrorist organization Step into Heaven, vowing to lead her comrades and the poor people to heaven no matter what.

But after coming to the Ark several times.

The fantasy in her heart still dissipated.

Ark, Ark...

Aside from its supplies and Nikki technology, this place is essentially no different from the Outer Rim. The gap between the rich and the poor is huge, abuse and deception are rampant, and the chaebol and corporate governments jointly control people's lives and block information to ensure the longevity of their rule.

"I don't understand why it seems like everywhere in this world is the same."

"The same rottenness, the same decay."

"Where exactly is the paradise we are looking for?"

EH sighed.

Her self-motivated lamentation seemed to have attracted the attention of a man who happened to be passing by the alley, causing him to change his route and walk into the alley.

EH keenly noticed that he was wearing a military uniform, but not a police uniform, but the uniform of a central government officer called "Commander".

This made her feel a little nervous.

Did he discover himself?

Under EH's slightly nervous gaze, Green stopped in front of the garbage heap, then took out a piece of bread from his handbag, bent down, and handed it to her: "Homeless person? There are not many women like you wandering around the Ark. Here, this is bread, take it and eat it."

"......"

"Is this... for me?"

EH asked back, his eyes widening in disbelief.

Green smiled humorously and quipped, "Why, do you think I'd be so bored as to put toppings in a piece of bread? I don't look like someone with such a bad taste."

EH hesitated for a moment and shook his head: "No, I don't doubt you, I just..."

"Then stop talking nonsense and take it."

Green threw the bread into EH's arms, then he took out two Poppets from his pocket and handed them over.

EH had no idea why the commander in front of her wanted to help her. In her impression, no one in the central government had ever been so sunny and enthusiastic, especially those officers. It seemed that there was an emotion called hatred in the eyes of almost every one of them.

She couldn't understand the reason, but Green was too lazy to explain to her and turned around to leave.

EH quickly stopped him: "Wait, wait a minute..."

"Why would you do this to a stranger?"

"why?"

"Well, there's no particular reason."

"If I must say, the Ark is too cold. I want to add a little love to this place." He turned sideways and jokingly said, "Anyway, girl, don't wander around anymore. If you want to find a job, you can try the outpost. It's my territory. As long as you have a skill, I promise there will be a place for you."

"Outpost..."

"You're the one... Um, nothing, thank you."

"You're welcome. I have something else to do. I'll leave first."

Staring at Green's back as he strode away.

EH looked guilty.

Once upon a time, Steps to Heaven attacked the outpost and tried to capture Nikki, named Marian.

But now, the boss of this organization is lying in a stinking garbage dump, being given bread and mercy by others.

This huge sense of gap made EH feel indescribable shame.

But even though she felt extremely ashamed, she still did not forget what she had to do.

"Thank you for the bread. I will remember your kindness and will definitely..."

"but..."

"I still have things I have to do."

EH clenched his fists and crawled out of the garbage pile.

The negotiations did break down.

The communication with Duo Wan also made EH give up the last bit of fantasy about the Ark.

The Ark's top brass have already regarded all humans in the Outer Zone as garbage. Now that it has come to this, what reason is there to surrender?

anyway.
