Green reminded him again and took a fighting stance.

He didn't bring a gun this time and could only fight a mass-produced Nikki with his bare hands. Although he had a great chance of winning, the Nikki with this change of mindset was often crazier and more cruel than the ordinary Nikki. They were completely crazy and had no rationality at all. Even if only a head was left, she might madly bite everything she could bite.

crunch...

crunch...

Faced with Green's second warning, Nikki did not respond, but instead locked on her next target.

And after determining your goals.

She suddenly arched her body and pounced on him like a mad wild dog.

Thump thump thump!

The heavy footsteps corresponded to a speed comparable to that of a flying man.

In just a moment, she ran a distance of twenty meters and rushed in front of Green.

"You asked for it!"

boom!

With a neat over-the-shoulder throw, Green knocked Nikki to the ground.

Her heavy body smashed a big hole in the ground. This sudden counterattack seemed to make her feel a little stunned. Green seized this moment of opportunity. He stepped on the arm of this mass-produced Nikki. Just as he was about to take out the special handcuffs tied around his waist to handcuff her, he saw her tearing her skin with a click, revealing the bomb tied to the alloy skeleton.

"ark..."

"Go to hell."

After uttering two brief sentences, Nikki reached out to touch the button on the explosives, intending to die together.

And at this critical moment, a cold voice suddenly stirred in the air.

""still.""

A mysterious force spread out, as if it had stopped the entire world.

Nikki's body was also firmly fixed in place, even though her finger was only a millimeter away from the detonation button.

“Sleep.”

It was like a king's order.

After hearing these two words, Nikki fell to the ground with a plop and fell into a baby-like sleep.

Green turned his head and saw a woman with red eyes wearing a black iron skirt and an iron mask jumping down from the roof. Her skin was as pale as snow, and a huge red rose was engraved on her black hair.

She is a member of the "Outer Force", a secret force of the legendary Pure Land, and her name is Maiden.

Maiden fell to the ground. She seemed to be suffering from social anxiety. She didn't even look at the man in front of her. Instead, she said through her mask in a sullen voice, "Sir, please forget everything you saw today."

"I have memorized your appearance and submitted your citizen number to my superiors."

"If you leak even a little bit of information about what happened today, not only will your own safety be in jeopardy, but your family will also be in danger."

"..."

"Huh? Is that the Commander?"

After Madden finished her opening remarks, she noticed the appearance of the man in front of her.

The atmosphere suddenly became awkward.

As a girl with a little bit of social anxiety who basically never shows up in public, the only feeling Madden has now is embarrassment from head to toe.

She didn't want to say those threatening words!

But who told me this was President Ingrid's request? If I didn't finish the job and the information about the outside forces leaked out, I would definitely lose a lot of money this month.

"Is it Maiden?"

"Just now I heard from Anis and the others that you were still waiting for me in the commander's room."

"Well, that's because... the president assigned me a temporary task, so I came here." Maiden explained to himself in a low voice.

"Anyway, you came just in time. I almost had to go to the hospital again." Green dusted himself off and stood up from the ground. "Thanks for your help. Are you free now? Can I buy you a drink?"

Chapter 4000: Maiden: I Love You ()

A few minutes later.

A roadside cafe.

Green ordered a cup of coffee and a glass of juice and sat down.

A light rain was falling outside the window, leaving a trace of rain on the window.

"The sweet orange juice you requested."

"Thanks..."

Madden took the cup of sweet hot drink, but for some reason, the two people sitting opposite each other remained silent for a long time, looking at each other without saying a word.

"Sorry, I forgot you can't take off the mask." Green looked at the black iron mask on Madden's face, and then he remembered the special thing about her.

"It's okay, it's not a problem."

"I can drink it."

Madden flattened the straw, stuffed it into his mask, and sucked the juice hard.

The juice swished up the straw.

But it was difficult to eat normally while wearing a mask. After a while, the sticky sweet orange juice dripped down the edge of her mask and spilled all over the table.

"Mom, look at that strange older sister. She is drinking juice while wearing a mask!" A little girl passing by suddenly shouted, pointing at Madden.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Keep your head down!" The housewife who came out to buy coffee glared at her child and immediately led the girl away in a hurry.

hum.

The sound of the automatic door closing silently made Green look sympathetic.

He took a tissue and wiped the juice-stained table, then wiped Madden's chin before saying, "Wearing a mask every day, must it be uncomfortable?"

"Yes, it's very uncomfortable."

Maiden sighed heavily.

Although she looks like the top queen of an SM club in terms of her dress, only a few people know that the mysterious Nikki who always wears a mask is actually just one of the office workers in the Pure Land. Like most office workers, Madden works diligently every day, receives a half-dead salary, and even has to endure her unreliable and troublesome colleagues.

"commander."

"Honestly, I want to change my job."

"You know, most of the time, without President Ingrid's orders, I have to wear this heavy, stuffy mask. I can take it off secretly, but... if I'm caught, I'll get scolded by the president."

"Besides, my salary isn't that high. Every month, buying in-game skins and mounts alone drains my wallet." As Maiden spoke, tears suddenly fell from his eyes. "Oh, honestly, it was so nice to hear you say thank you just now."

"There's no need to cry like this." Green took a sip of coffee.

"Commander, you know, the external force that Ji Luoting and I are in is specifically responsible for subduing and killing the abnormal Nikki. Although we don't often show our faces in front of others, we are still doing good things, right?" Maiden said aggrievedly. "But no one has ever said thank you to me."

"I don't want everyone to be grateful to me."

"But when I heard someone suddenly say thank you to me, I felt a little complicated, happy, and mixed with emotions."

"It's okay. I know most Nikkis have a hard life. In that case, I'll treat you to dinner. What do you want to eat? Pizza, fried chicken, or something else? Just tell me." Green knocked on the table casually, waking up the electronic menu screen on the desktop.

"Commander...you are so kind."

Maiden wiped her tears vigorously, then suddenly raised her head and said with deep affection, "I love you."

"......"

"......"

"Isn't that too sudden?" Green picked up the coffee cup in his hand and chuckled.

"Ah, sorry, I just said that involuntarily." Madden scratched his flushed cheek with his fingers. Just as he was about to make some excuses, Ingrid called again.

"Hello, President?" Madden shouted, holding the phone between his shoulders.

"Maden, what are you doing? Didn't I tell you to come back after you dealt with Nikki? Why are you staying in one place for so long?" Ingrid's authoritative voice came from the other end of the line: "I've told you many times that if you encounter any trouble, immediately notify me or Ji Luoting, who is in the same unit as you. So, what exactly happened over there?"

"It's nothing, President."

"I just found the love of my life, please don't get in the way." Perhaps because of the excessive pressure from work, Madden had the audacity to confront Ingrid.

"What?" Ingrid on the other end of the line roared, "It's work time now, Madden. Return immediately to hand over your work, or I'll deduct 10 credit points from your salary this month."

"A pay cut? No, no, no, that's not okay."

"I'll go back right away."

"drop."

After hanging up the phone with a hint of resentment, Maiden stared at the drink in front of him before saying reluctantly, "Commander, I have to go back. Um... can we meet again in the future?"

"Sure, you can come anytime you want. You're always welcome at the outpost."

"Thank you, I'll get to you soon."

Whoosh!

Madden grabbed the drink from the table and disappeared like a rose blown away by the wind.

She left in such a hurry that she didn't even have time to eat the free dinner.

After all, it concerns her salary, and Miss Corporate is never vague about this.

"You're walking really fast."

"Looks like I'm the only one eating this meal?"

Green picked up his coffee and took a sip, looking at the heavy rain outside the window and the water droplets sliding down the glass.

Ark always makes artificial rain from time to time.

Although rain is completely unnecessary for humans living underground, considering a "large-scale collective depression" incident that once occurred, the Ark creates thunderstorms from time to time almost every month to imitate the natural weather on the ground.

"A large-scale depression event..."

"There are some old newspapers in the cafe, I'll take a look at them."

Green grabbed a spoon, picked up a slightly old newspaper from the bookshelf, and began to read the case.

As we all know, the sky of the Ark, also known as the "Eternal Sky", is not real.

It is simulated into the appearance of the sky by some unknown cutting-edge technology, covering everyone's head, making humans still think that they are living on the earth, rather than in a dark cave. The source of Hengkong's technology is still unknown, but it is worth mentioning that a large-scale depression event once occurred in the Ark.

It is said that there were some problems with the Ark's power system, which caused Hengkong to fail to operate normally that day.

When the false sky disappeared and finally turned into dark cave rock walls and alloy walls, large-scale panic and depression symptoms appeared inside the Ark, especially those humans who had lived on the ground. They felt very scared and uneasy in their hearts, and many of them even contracted depression. Until now, many patients have not been able to cure their depressed hearts.

"Why do humans get depressed because they live underground?"

After conducting extensive discussions, scientists and scholars have not reached a conclusion that everyone can agree on.

Some say that this is the result of genes ingrained in human nature. Countless years of evolution have long made humans accustomed to life on the ground. Even with the cover of the eternal void, most people are still subconsciously aware that they are not living on the real ground, which is why they feel panic and depression.

Some people say that this is just a special sociological phenomenon. Emotions such as fear and depression can easily spread among human groups. Moreover, in the information age, it is normal for such human-to-human transmission to occur occasionally in a small space.

There are even some superstitious theologians who say that in fact most humans have realized that they have lost the qualifications to survive on the earth forever. The great creator god created more powerful creatures like Letcher just to eliminate humans. Therefore, once faced with reality, such a weak race as humans will immediately collapse.

As for the correctness of these fallacies, under the strict control of Ark, not many people are discussing it anymore.

Whether these theories are true or false has long been buried in the dust of the past, turning into a newspaper and a memory, sinking forever.

But Ark also learned a lesson from this.

From that day on, the Ark began to produce frequent rainfall, clouds, and overcast skies, even playing the sound of thunder to simulate the natural environment above ground. While it wasn't a 67% replica, it was enough to make humans feel at ease living underground, free from depression. —From "Night Sky Newspaper, Issue ," by Bird (Note: The newspaper editor has since left the company)

"ark..."

Green put down the newspaper and looked at the night sky outside the glass window.

Under the night sky, neon lights flicker, and the night of the Ark is still so prosperous and charming, full of intoxicating atmosphere.

But after thinking about it, Green still couldn't figure it out.

In this place where the sun cannot reach and solar and wind energy are basically unable to operate, how does the Ark generate electricity?
