The answer didn't surprise Rosanna.
That is, "Step into Heaven" is planning a grand attack on the Ark.
But this is not an uncommon occurrence.
Terrorist organizations in the Outer Rim would regularly send a few thugs to sneak into the Ark, kidnapping a few civilians one day and bombing a few high-rise buildings the next, using this as a way to highlight the government's negligence. To those who frequented the Outer Rim, these murders and arson seemed commonplace, nothing new, and some even applauded. After all, in the eyes of most people in the Outer Rim, the more Ark's people died, the more they felt better.
After getting the information, Rosanna couldn't help but frown and fell into deep thought.
Just as the cadre who entered heaven said, just a few days ago, they went to the ground and destroyed several signal towers on the ground. Although destroying a few signal towers was not a big deal for the Ark itself, it also caused some chaos in the exclusive network within the Ark.
If they really want to attack, they generally don't need to do this.
Unless someone wants to take advantage of the chaos and fish in troubled waters.
"That's pretty much the intelligence."
"Time to ask Sakura how things are going."
Rosanna sent a message to Sakura.
On the other side, Sakura was having a detailed discussion with Dora in the secret room of the Qingming Society.
"Miss Dora, have you found any clues about the matter I asked you to investigate?"
"Of course, any transaction on the dark web can't escape my eyes." Dora smiled slightly, her face showing confidence. "I just happen to have such interesting information to tell you, but you should know that according to the rules, information must be paid. I took a lot of risks to investigate this information from the dark web. I believe that the Qingming Society will not let me suffer any loss, right?"
"The Qingming Association doesn't lack this little money, please speak up quickly." Sakura frowned slightly and urged.
"Well, you're worthy of being the leader of the Qingming Society. It's a pleasure to work with you. Then I'll tell you the information." Dora cleared her throat and said, "Just a few days ago, someone ordered 200 new rifles and large bombs for excavation from the dark web."
"New rifle?" Sakura frowned slightly.
"Yes, it's the latest model of special rifle. Its bullets can not only penetrate Nikki and Letcher's armor, but also feature improvements in recoil and ammunition capacity. According to my in-depth investigation, a certain arms company called Hadrian has been producing these firepowered weapons that rival Nikki's, but are also suitable for human use. This batch of 200 rifles is their latest masterpiece."
"So, these 200 rifles can also be used by humans?"
"Yes, that's what it means."
"Interesting, what about the bomb?"
"It's the excavation bomb that Ark originally used to develop underground. It doesn't do much damage, but it's extremely destructive. Ark usually only uses this kind of bomb when developing more large underground bases. It's not particularly useful."
"No particular use...?"
Sakura thought for a moment.
It only took a moment of thought for her to realize something was wrong.
This large bomb used for excavation is not necessarily used for mining.
"Excuse me, Dora."
"I have to track someone down now, so I'm sorry I can't keep you company."
"It doesn't matter. Whatever you want to do has nothing to do with me. For me, as long as I get paid, that's enough." Dora made a gesture of invitation. For a businessman like her, maintaining the stability of the Ark was not her responsibility.
On the contrary, the more chaotic the situation is, the more beneficial it is to businessmen like Dora who have been active in the dark web for many years.
Guns, ammunition, medicine—these items were strictly prohibited from being circulated in the Outer Rim. Even selling just one of them would make Dora a tidy profit. The more unstable the situation, the more business there was to do.
"By the way, since we're both colleagues at Tetra, I'll give you another piece of information."
"The customer who ordered the weapons is named EH."
"Just a few hours ago, she sneaked into the Ark alone. She must have already finalized the deal by now."
"Thank you for the information, Dora. I don't have time to waste now." Sakura said solemnly, "EH is playing with fire. Neither the government nor Ma Shiding will allow such a thing to happen."
"Whether she's playing with fire or not, I suggest you subdue her quickly to avoid any further accidents."
"Otherwise, when the central government starts to hold the Queen of the Underworld Army accountable, even Ma Shiding won't be able to protect you." Dora took a sip of tea, with a slightly leisurely look, and she offered the most pertinent advice.
"I know."
"I'm going."
"I hope it's not too late."
.......
Ark, suburbs.
In a remote and dark corner, a rarely used freight elevator is running quietly and silently.
"Two hundred guns."
"And a large bomb for mining. With these things, we can ensure the safety of the outer area." EH worked hard to unload the guns and bombs from the truck and carried them into the elevator one by one.
Looking at the guns in the elevator, her eyes revealed a complicated look.
Once upon a time, she thought she was leading the rebellion against the Ark's tyranny and was a brilliant leader.
It wasn't until her last conversation with Dowan that EH realized that the power of her organization, which she was so proud of, was nothing more than this in the face of Fang Ark. Those officials even deliberately kept her organization to check public opinion and give the Outer Rim an excuse to vent their anger.
"No, it shouldn't be like this."
"I have been fighting with Ark for so long, how can I surrender now?"
"Give up your fantasies, EH, and stop indulging in playing house games. At least now you have something real that can threaten the Ark." EH unloaded the last rifle from the truck.
She stroked the exquisite black rifle in her hand and couldn't help but sigh at its greatness.
A rifle that could penetrate Nikki and kill Letcher, and that could be equipped for human use, was undoubtedly the antidote that the Outer Rim had been longing for.
And now, these two hundred new rifles will fall into the hands of the Outer Rim.
EH knew exactly what this meant.
First of all, Ark will never allow any force in the Outer Zone to possess large-scale weapons, whether it is rifles or Nikki. Once any force that can threaten Ark appears, Ark will definitely declare war on the Outer Zone without hesitation.
However, precisely because they do not allow it, the Outer Rim Area needs these two hundred guns even more.
Without these two hundred rifles, everyone in the outer area is just a lamb to be slaughtered. They don't even deserve the chance to sit down and negotiate, so how can they have a chance to turn things around?
There is no way back to reconciliation.
The only option now is to fight or die. If we don't go to extremes, the Ark will never hear the demands of the Outer Rim.
"As long as we transport these guns and bombs to the ground via the elevator, and then have the people on the ground who have been prepared to transport them to the elevator leading to the outer area, we will have a fully armed team."
"Furthermore, this bomb can also blow through the elevators that were deliberately blocked by the Ark."
"With weapons and an elevator that allows us to freely enter and exit the ground, our future is promising."
“The path to salvation lies within it.”
EH muttered to herself as if possessed. Just as she was about to throw the last rifle into the elevator, a familiar voice stopped her.
"EH, that's enough, put down those rifles."
"Do you know what you're doing?"
The first one to arrive was not Rosanna and Sakura, but Peony.
Because Mudan has always had good relations with the poor people in the Outer Rim and has her own sources of information, Mudan quickly learned of EH's whereabouts and rushed to the scene before she took the elevator to the ground.
"Is it Peony from the Underworld Queen Unit?"
"Don't stop me." EH gasped and issued an ultimatum to Mudan: "I know what I'm doing, and my mind is clear. Mudan, if you continue to stand in my way, we will have to fight."
"EH... No, Harper of Elysium." Peony shouted EH's real name with a hint of anger. "Are you crazy? Leave those weapons behind. You know what they mean, right? If you insist on doing so, the Ark will soon turn the Outer Rim into a sea of blood and corpses. By then, there won't be a single living person left!"
"Harper..."
"I have already given up this name."
While the two were confronting each other, Rosanna and Sakura arrived one after another.
Sakura was a master at using gentle tactics. As soon as she arrived, she understood the situation and spoke soothingly, "EH, whatever your difficulties are, please speak up. Our Mafia Queen Unit will help you."
"Yes, we will help you!" Mudan also shouted: "Mudan Society, Qingming Society, and Hedonia. Aren't we always committed to maintaining peace in the Outer Rim and the Ark? Why are you doing such a ridiculous thing now, EH?"
EH was silent for a moment, then said, "Because of Letcher's attack, the Outer Rim has already been massacred once. I'm afraid the same thing will happen again, so I want to negotiate with the Ark's top management. I can surrender myself, or even be liberated and sent to Heaven, in exchange for Nikki's garrison. But do you know what that person said? Not only did he call us trash, he also wanted to kill me and take my head as his military merit."
"There's no room for negotiation, everyone."
"The Outer Rim has been in decline for too long. Women of childbearing age have their brains snatched by the Ark and turned into Nikki, while adult men have become addicted to the rampant drugs and gang violence. Facing Letcher's cold-blooded massacres and the Ark's endless oppression, we have remained silent for decades. I purchased these guns simply to give the people here some self-defense ability. The bomb was only to clear the garbage blocking the elevator."
"We are just trying to protect our home, that's all!"
"But..."
"There's nothing to worry about. I've tried to resolve the issue peacefully, but it doesn't work. If Ark doesn't even allow these things, then we have no other choice."
"Don't come over here, or I'll detonate this bomb." EH clenched the remote control in his hand: "If you insist on pushing me into a desperate situation, I don't mind dying with you."
Chapter 4100: Krau: I Probably Will Never Forget It ()
"EH, you idiot, calm down!"
"We said we'd help you, and we definitely will!" Mudan gritted her teeth and shouted, "If you're still sane, you should know that those 200 guns are not only useless, but they give Ark a reason to wipe out the Outer Rim!"
"......"
EH had to admit that Mudan was right.
The two hundred new rifles she considered her lifeline were nothing compared to the vast resources of the Ark. The three major corporations only needed to dispatch a few hundred mass-produced Nikkis to wreak havoc on the Outer Rim, leaving rivers of blood and corpses strewn across the ground.
Humans are too weak in front of Nikki.
EH was struggling internally when a rough voice suddenly rang out.
"Target found!"
"She is the leader of those who entered heaven, the terrorist who deliberately destroyed the Ark."
"And I, Dowan, the Ark's deputy commander, will arrest her now!"
Everyone looked back in surprise, only to find that it was Duo Wan who had received the news at some point and rushed over.
He brought a team of mass-produced Nikkis with him, and several drones were hovering above their heads, filming his heroic act of arresting terrorists from all angles. If he could accomplish this, the video would appear on every citizen's television during prime time in the Ark.
"Adjust the lens."
"I want all the citizens of Ark to see my heroic figure."
Duo Wan turned around and gave some instructions to his subordinate who was in charge of photography before he smiled and strode towards Mudan and the other two.
"Well done, Queen of the Underworld Force. You completed the mission I gave you very well."
"Thanks to the three of you who blocked this terrorist here, we were able to catch him. Now, go back, and leave the rest to me." Duo Wan ordered righteously, intending to take over the situation here.
"?!"
EH's slightly tormented heart was deeply shaken by Duowan's divisive words.
But the Queen of the Underworld Army obviously will not easily fulfill his wish.
Rosanna's face darkened. "What mission? Did you assign it?"
"Humph, stop joking."
"Everyone knows that you, Deputy Commander Duowan, have considerable military experience, yet Ark has never assigned you your own Nikki. What does this mean? Even the Ark's higher-ups think you're a complete loser, and now you're sending us orders? Stop kidding! Where do you get the confidence to say something like that?"
"........"
"So what do you mean now? Do you want to help the terrorist escape?" Dowan was scolded by Rosanna, but he did not rush to take action. Instead, he continued to question.
"Terrorists, who?"
Rosanna pretended to be ignorant, which made Duo Wan frown.
"Don't be so vain, Nikki."
"I'm talking about that piece of trash behind you."
Duo Wan looked at EH with violent and greedy eyes.
EH hadn't expected him to come here. She gritted her teeth and asked, "Why, why do you know this place? Our plan is flawless. Logically, Ark should be dealing with the signal tower issue right now..."
"Humph."
"You ask me why I know?"
"Then let me ask you, do you know what this elevator is used for?"
