Arknights, but keeping Terra in captivity

Then you see the giant god soldier that makes your sanity drop like crazy, with red eyes like a Terminator, shouting "Human!", and then chasing you -

honestly...

Not many people would think that these giant soldiers are here to bring them warmth.

Even though Chen Ran had tried his best to make the mud look ugly and cute,

But this so-called ugly cuteness is based on the differences in individual size.

Just like a little kitten, no matter how loudly it meows or scratches your shoes madly, you will only think it is cute and fierce.

But if this little kitten were to grow several times larger, to the size of a lion or tiger, it would probably have to lie down on the spot and die with a little dignity after just one meow.

Not to mention that for survivors like Kal'tsit, those Colossi are not just a few times bigger.

So in the eyes of those survivors——

It was as if Hai Si had launched a sweeping attack first, but then realized he hadn't wiped out all the humans, so he sent another wave of soldiers, intending to wipe them out completely.

So they screamed, wailed, and cried, and their original outward expansion was abruptly interrupted. All the survivors ran back as if they were risking their lives.

Until he hid in the bunker again, the giant soldiers stopped chasing him.

Although this was based on the underlying logic of the Giant God Soldiers, Chen Ran only gave them the order to find survivors, but did not tell them what to do after finding the survivors.

So after completing the current command, one by one they wandered around as if they were idle.

But this made the survivors even more convinced that as long as they hid in this bunker, they would be absolutely safe.

Go out? They won’t go out even if you kill them.

But Chen Ran didn't know the reason.

He only saw that he had just kneaded a lump of mud and asked it to go find survivors, but within a few minutes, the lump of mud was howling and shouting that it had found a surviving human.

After hearing this, Chen Ran took a closer look and found that it was indeed true.

So he reached out his hand, picked up the survivor who was surrounded by lumps of mud, and wanted to take a closer look at him.

Oh, it's a woman.

But think about it, it is the last bastion after all, so women and children must be given priority.

However, Chen Ran just took a look at the animal ears on the survivor's head and the animal tail behind him, and had no time to see clearly whether this survivor was the operator he knew.

As a result, the survivor who was being pinched by his fingertips suddenly opened his eyes wide when he saw him, then his whole body twitched like a madman, and finally his eyes rolled upwards, and with a click, he passed out.

Chen Ran: “???”

No? What does your reaction mean?

"Oh, look, the poor lady has the privilege of seeing the face of a god. What an honor it is."

"She was shocked, terrified, and she fainted with a gasp."

"Because I cannot comprehend the greatness of God, my sanity value is -1."

"San value -1"

"San value -1"

"San value -1"

"Oh, that's enough."

Seeing the pop-up window with san value -1 starting to appear on the screen, Chen Ran's mouth twitched, and he had to put the survivor he was holding back into the planet model.

"So what image do I have in the eyes of these... humans? What kind of Exogod do I have?"

Although Chen Ran knew that his perspective was different from that of these...indigenous people.

But isn’t this difference too big?

And why didn't Turbid Skadi...Oh, that's not right. Turbid Skadi is also a type of enemy to those indigenous humans.

That's fine.

So Chen Ran turned his head and glanced at the biscuit sitting on the edge of the desk, dangling his little feet and chewing on it. It seemed that the biscuit was a little dry or a little choked, so he took the biscuit to the fish tank to dip it in water, and then continued to chew on it.

Chen Ran then turned back and continued to look at the survivor he had just released in the planet model...

"Huh? Where's the person? Why is he gone?"

... ... ...

... ...

...

The bunker door was closed and even had several locks added.

But Kal'tsit didn't say much about it, because this was the consensus reached by almost all the survivors.

Kal'tsit wanted to calm everyone down, but she was powerless.

Because the current situation is beyond her control.

It was just like she was busy in the past, trying all kinds of roundabout ways to save the country, and finally when she was almost settling it down, she turned around and found that Agor had stabbed her in the back and was fighting with the sweeping robot.

But this time it's more serious.

Deity...or God?

Kal'tsit couldn't understand such an existence, but that didn't stop everyone in the shelter from calling him that.

And precisely because she couldn't understand, she could no longer make the decision, so Kal'tsit came here subconsciously -

In front of the sarcophagus.

When building this last fortress of mankind, Kal'tsit managed to move the sarcophagus here.

This sarcophagus maintains the energy supply of the entire bunker and, at the same time, maintains the doctor's life.

The sarcophagus can repair all wounds, but it cannot eradicate aging.

The Doctor is a human being after all, and does not have such a long lifespan. So in order to extend his lifespan in disguise, the Doctor lies in the sarcophagus more and more often, and sleeps for longer and longer periods of time.

Until now, unless there is a major change, the doctor will basically not be awakened.

but--

Kal'tsit raised her head and looked at the ceiling, as if she could see the god outside the planet through the ceiling.

"God...? This has never happened even in previous civilizations."

"So even if we wake the doctor up, can he handle the current situation?"

So Kal'tsit is struggling.

On the one hand, she wanted the Doctor to come back and take charge of the situation, but on the other hand, she felt that even the Doctor might not be able to cope with the current situation, which would only increase her despair and fear.

After a long silence, Kal'tsit turned and left as if she had given up.

It's not time to despair, at least not yet.

Kal'tsit wanted to comfort everyone, but when she arrived at the meeting room, she found that in just the short time she had spent visiting the Doctor in front of the sarcophagus, things had become uncontrollable like a runaway husky.

"He is a deity! He is God!"

"I saw it with my own eyes. I was fortunate enough to witness the greatness of the gods!"

"The God of the Sea has been imprisoned in a fish tank by the Lord God. Even us! Our land is nothing more than a beautiful glass bead in the Lord God's hand!"

"He is so great! He eliminated humanity only to allow them to evolve better!"

"Let us sing! Let us cheer! Let us pray to our great God!"

A female survivor was standing at the table in the conference room. Her sanity level was as low as zero, and like a fanatic, she was loudly proclaiming the name of the God she was talking about.

Kal'tsit, who had arrived late and was completely unaware of the situation, responded: "...?"

011. Your number of believers +1, you gain the power of faith

In times of natural disasters, after the end of the world, when science is dead and God appears in the world, the rise and prosperity of religion is inevitable.

Not to mention that before the end of the world, religion was already prevalent in this land.

There are Lateranism, Yelagundism, and Deep Sea Church, all of which are flourishing.

Although during the process of Haisi's destruction, the host that gave the angels their halo, the "Heaven's Fulcrum", all the Sakotas went down the moment they were invaded by the Haisi horde.

But ordinary people don’t know the inside story.

Therefore, whether it is to escape reality, to seek spiritual sustenance, or even simply as a means for those in power to control people's hearts, the rise of religion is inevitable.

But the problem is that your rise to prominence is a bit too fast, isn't it?

Kal'tsit was very sure that she had just gone to see the doctor, and it definitely took less than an hour.

As a result, you not only established a religion, but even started preaching?

Even the knowledgeable Kal'tsit couldn't help but feel a little confused.

Because in Kal'tsit's cognition, the shock brought by the appearance of gods is definitely more fear than surprise.

So if you don't pick up the pieces of scientific knowledge that are scattered all over the ground first, it's like the polarity is reversed...

As a last resort, Kal'tsit had to ask the people around her.

With everyone talking at once, Kelsey roughly reconstructed the whole picture of the matter:

The fanatical believer standing at the conference room table in front of him was the unlucky guy who was being chased by the Giant God Soldier.

The unfortunate guy was so scared that he fainted. Although he didn't know why he was not killed, after waking up and running all the way back to the bunker, he began to preach crazily.

"Everything I said is true! I really witnessed the greatness of that great god with my own eyes!"

"That Haisi God is really being kept in a fish tank by the Lord God. The plan to exterminate humanity was formulated by the Lord God!"

"I'm not lying! What I said is true! It's true!"

it is true.

Chen Ran can testify.

Unfortunately, even if what this fanatic said was true, her crazy and fanatical appearance, coupled with her previous experience of being chased by those giant soldiers...

At least in the eyes of most people, this fanatic was just scared crazy, and the so-called Sea God was kept in a fish tank and was just talking nonsense.

Although Kal'tsit didn't make a haphazard choice to believe or not, she glanced at the growing crowd around her and the increasingly fanatical believer, and couldn't help but speak:

"Take her away first."

"Find her a psychiatrist and comfort her."

Kal'tsit is not worried about the rise of religion; she is worried that overly fanatical believers will engage in human sacrifice.

This incident is also recorded in the scriptures of Yelagund.

So I can only put this matter aside in advance.

Fortunately, Kal'tsit's prestige still remained, so several medical operators quickly rushed up, grabbed the fanatic and dragged him away.

But even after being dragged away, the fanatic continued to shout: "Everything I said is true! It's all true! Turning humans into Hai Si, and Hai Si ascending to return to the embrace of the gods, so this is the right path, uh uh uh -"

As the believer's mouth was covered and he was dragged away, the fanatical and crazy voice finally disappeared.

But the people who remained in the conference room remained silent.

Because no matter how unwilling they are to believe it, the fact is that God has appeared in the world.

This makes it easy to speculate whether the so-called Hai Si was created by the same god, just as the god casually kneaded mud to create the Giant God Soldier. In this case, could Hai Si's act of destruction be instructed by the god?

Although Kal'tsit knew in her heart that Haisi was a creation of the previous civilization and had nothing to do with the so-called god.

But Kal'tsit was also in a state of confusion at this time, and could only speak: "Even if that being is really a so-called god, we can't arbitrarily assume that the god is full of malicious intent."

"So far, except for the one who was just taken away, we have no casualties."

"It's like passing by an anthill. They might just stop and look at it out of curiosity, but we mistakenly think we're about to face a catastrophe and lose our composure."

"We can't guess what that god is thinking, nor can we judge whether that god is good or evil, but at least we are still alive, aren't we?"

Even if it is true as the fanatic just said, that the plan to exterminate humanity was formulated by the great god in order to make humans evolve, then the group of people who survived are the lucky ones who were chosen - Kal'tsit did not say this out loud because it was too religious.

Kal'tsit knew she couldn't be the Riddler anymore, so she spoke in plain language.
