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

She couldn't understand why Privati felt that she was the commander's first love.

I always feel that she may have some misunderstanding about her own charm.

After being speechless for a while, Rabbi finally poked Privati with a hidden needle: "Although confidence is a good thing, I think the commander's first love is probably not you."

Privati snorted, raised her head proudly, and said, "Ravi, what's wrong? Do you think you can't compete with me, so you want to shake my idea?"

"I'm telling you, this despicable little trick has no effect on me! And I'm quite sure that I'm the commander's first love."

“How come you see?”

“Details, of course details!”

"The way he looked at me, his gentle body language, the genuine emotion he expressed in his words—that alone should have been enough evidence to prove it. And think about it, every time I came to the outpost, the commander would make me coffee and show concern for my work and life."

"Then there's only one answer, right?"

"I must be very special in his heart! And isn't that special girl in a man's heart usually his first love?"

Privati explained with great force.

"You...Privati."

"I feel like you're hopeless."

Rabbi sighed and silently quickened his pace.

Privati also got annoyed immediately.

"Ravi, what did you mean by sighing just now?!"

"I don't mean anything."

"Don't think I don't understand you. Even though you don't want to say it, you must have been plotting against me in your heart, right?"

"You're so thick-skinned anyway."

"Who, who is so shameless! Don't talk nonsense, Rabbi!"

……

Night falls.

After a hearty meal at the Ark's restaurant, Green, along with Rabi and the other two, bid farewell to Privati and finally returned to the command center under the cover of night.

Hot weather.

In order to enjoy the air conditioning, Anis and Nian lay on the sofa, one of them patted his bloated belly rhythmically, while the other sat on a chair, enjoying the cool breeze and reading an encyclopedia about firearms.

Green was also lying in his chair, communicating with Eden.

—Dorothy—

Dorothy: "Nihilista has been a little restless these days."

Dorothy: "I think you haven't forgotten what I told you last time, sir?"

Green: "I still remember the battle plan, so it's a beauty trap, right? You want me to sacrifice my looks and get information out of Nihilista."

Green: "This is a tough task. Miss, you should at least give me some compensation, okay?"

Dorothy: "No problem, what do you want?"

Green: "I want to soak your socks in water and drink it. Just kidding. The Ark gave me the freedom to explore the land on the ground. I need some technical help. It would be better to send an expert over to show me how to get through the most difficult period of pioneering."

Dorothy: "Yeah, no problem."

Dorothy: "As long as you can extract any useful information from Nihilista, Paradise will naturally be willing to share all the technology we can. So, please come to Paradise as soon as possible. The specifics of how we proceed will be left to you to decide."

244

Chapter 244: Nihilista, I’m here to win you over.

"Lavi, Anis, Nian, come to work."

"Come with me to Paradise tomorrow. As for the reason, tell your superiors that you want to have an in-depth discussion as an Ark Messenger."

Green turned off the communication with Dorothy and stood up from his chair. "Of course, the mission is not very dangerous. It is mainly related to Nihilista."

"OK!"

Anis stretched out her hand lazily and made an OK sign.

"Master, what did Paradise ask you to do? Can't they handle that Charizard with their skills?"

Nian asked.

"I guess it's to get information out of Nihilista."

Lavi pondered for a moment and then expressed her guess: "With Eden's technology, restraining the fire dragon shouldn't be a problem. But if Nihilista doesn't speak up about intelligence, Eden won't be able to do anything about her."

"Eh?"

"Can't we just torture them like in the movies?"

"Like, maybe get an electric chair or something, and have that conceited fat dragon sit on it and go ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. After this internet addiction treatment, I guarantee she'll start talking."

Anis giggled and described vividly what would happen if she were to torture him.

"To be honest, even though we haven't been together long, I think Nihilista is a guy who only responds to soft words and not hard ones."

Green took out his little Letcher notebook and flipped to the page about Nihilista. He tapped his pen gently as he said, "The harder you are on her, the more she'll fight you. Anyway, she's probably that kind of person."

"But don't worry too much."

"Even a fire dragon has its weaknesses. I will seize those weaknesses and use them to persuade and admonish her. In short, as long as we can win them over to our side, even if they are heretics, we must strive to win them over."

"Considering that we may have to face larger and more powerful heretic groups in the future, appeasement is inevitable. After all, judging from the current situation, we are already somewhat lacking in both intelligence and combat power."

As Green spoke, he wrote down some future plans in his notebook.

Although his attitude towards heretics was more fearful than anything else, if he wanted to completely take back the ground, he naturally could not miss any opportunity to be lenient with them.

Nihilista is a good start.

She was an elite general under the Queen, and any intelligence she shared could potentially unleash a bloody storm on the Ark. Of course, even if she was unwilling to provide intelligence, contributing some physical strength would be enough to improve the current predicament.

Currently, Rabi's dual-core form could no longer be activated, leaving only a sliver of Little Red Riding Hood's remaining power. Anis and Nian's strength was also gradually falling short of top-tier capabilities. If they encountered another cluster of heretics, the counterattack force would only have one canceller bullet as its trump card. In short, the current counterattack force was seriously lacking top-tier heretic-level combat power.

Although we can also use this as an excuse to ask Ark to transfer a few capable Nikkis to serve as backups.

But there are not many Nikkis on Ark who can fight now. The two strongest T0-level troops are only the special forces and the Metis troops, but they also have their own tasks and it is impossible for them to serve as reserve forces to support the counterattack troops all the time.

As for other Nikki troops below T0, there is no need to mention them.

Their ability to deal with Letcher may not be as good as that of a veteran like Anis.

Therefore, the most urgent task is to expand our combat capabilities.

After thinking for a long time, Green wrote four lines on the paper.

1. Win over the Fire Dragon and persuade her to join the team.

2. Establish a ground base as soon as possible to shelter pilgrims wandering on the ground, provide them with a place to live long-term, and achieve a mutually beneficial relationship.

3. Build good relations with Eden and, if necessary, leverage the Heirs' forces to assist with exploration missions. However, since Dorothy's intentions are unclear, you shouldn't blindly trust her.

4. Retrieve Marianne without attracting the attention of the Ark. If you want to retrieve Marianne, you must be prepared for an all-out war with the Ark. Once discovered by the Ark's spies, you will most likely be accused of treason due to your excessive contact with heretics.

After sorting out all the ideas.

Green closed his Letcher notebook, washed up quickly, and began to prepare for tomorrow's itinerary with Lavi and the others.

……

The next morning.

Deputy Commander's Office.

Anderson took the materials Green handed him and glanced at him thoughtfully. "So, you're planning to officially visit Eden Garden as an Ark ambassador? I have no objection, of course. After all, we know very little about Eden Garden right now, even from Nikki, who calls herself the goodwill ambassador."

"What do they want to do? Do they want to establish diplomatic relations with the Ark? Or do they intend to sabotage us secretly? Or do they have other intentions? Several of our deputy commanders have also had a very heated discussion privately about Eden Garden's intentions."

"As for establishing diplomatic relations with Eden, I personally maintain a positive attitude. After all, Eden has given us valuable optical camouflage technology. Based on current reports, it's a genuine gift, not a conspiracy. But the other deputy commanders are a bit more complex. They all suspect Dorothy and Eden of having ulterior motives."

"I've approved this mission. Try to come back intact, okay?"

"Thanks, Deputy Commander Anderson. I will try to bring back some results."

Green nodded and thanked Anderson. "Also, Deputy Commander Anderson, I have a question for you."

"You said."

"If one day we really take back the ground, what will the central government do to Nikki?"

"The question you raise is as sharp as a nail. If a newspaper reporter asked you the same question, I suggest you try to be as ambiguous as possible. However, in my personal opinion..."

Anderson was silent for a moment.

As a politician who is well versed in political struggles.

Anderson naturally knew very well that if the war between Letcher and humans really ended completely one day, then a new round of war would probably begin again.

He pondered for a moment before saying, "In today's world, the reason Nikki and humans can coexist hand in hand is because they share a common external enemy. It can be said that the Ark's current social structure is built on the foundation of resisting external enemies. Therefore, this external pressure always makes the general public ignore internal problems."

"But if one day, the external enemies and pressure disappeared, what do you think the Ark would become?"

"Can humans still happily hold hands with Nikki and rebuild civilization?"

"Or will one side be the first to take up arms and settle accounts with the other?"

"Anything could happen, because humans are creatures. Some are kind, while others are naturally malicious. Furthermore, the Ark has been in turmoil over the years, resources are scarce, and distrust and conflict between the public and the government have gradually deepened."

"So, from my personal point of view, I think that after we retake the ground, there is a high possibility that a new round of chaos will break out inside the Ark."

"But this situation can be avoided."

“Because we still have a solution to the problem.”

Anderson paused, then continued, "Reclaiming the surface means we're back on the vast expanse of land. While Letcher may have squandered most of the planet's resources, as long as we have a place to house the homeless and respond to their needs, all problems can be solved. And you're perfectly suited to being a pioneer on this path, aren't you?"

"I understand."

"Then I'll be off first, Anderson."

"Take care of yourself."

Green walked out of the commander's room with a lot of thoughts in his mind.

The question he asked Anderson just now was also to test whether Ark had any plans in this regard.

However, judging from Anderson's cautious but slightly pessimistic attitude, if the ground is really retaken one day, the top leaders of the central government will most likely purge a group of people to consolidate their rule.

As for why the liquidation is necessary... of course it is for power.

If Letcher really disappeared, the positions of the Ark's top executives would naturally be unstable. The earth is so big, and the people can find a place to settle down by themselves, and no longer have to work like slaves for the tycoons.

There will also be those old heroes who have made great contributions to the Ark. As long as they take the lead and raise their arms, it is guaranteed that a large number of Nikkis and people will follow him to open up the outside world.

Without the support of the population, who will support the social elites to become local tyrants?

Therefore, a civil war will inevitably break out in the Ark to purge dissidents and decide who will have the final say.

Green thought about this and then discovered something terrible.

If his idea was correct, then after retaking the ground, the first person to be liquidated by the Ark would definitely be himself.

Human support is actually irrelevant.

The important thing is that he is too famous among the Nikki. If he insists on leaving the Ark to build his own territory, there will definitely be a group of Nikki following him.

In a world that is just about to be rebuilt after the war, the existence of a man who has many loyal Nikkis under his command is an unstable factor for the Ark, and he will most likely be eliminated and controlled as soon as possible.

Although Green has never liked to speculate about the central government and those senior officials with such vicious thoughts.

But the facts told him that if he didn't keep a few vigilance and reserve some manpower for himself, even if he was an unprecedented great contributor, those guys who were eyeing him would never show mercy when it came time to strike.

"Let's go."

"Don't think too much about it, just finish the things at hand first."

Put the distracting thoughts in your mind behind you.

Green led the counterattack troops and set out on the road to the Garden of Eden.
