reincarnation npc, but tomorrow's ark

The sentry spotted the two, but he clearly recognized Heidi and therefore trusted Bai Ye, who was with Heidi as a friend, so he took them to see the commander of the Self-Salvation Army.

To be precise, the full name of this force is the Londinium Citizens' Self-Salvation Army. They are all ordinary people, including workers, merchants, and civilians, who came together because they shared the same determination to resist the Sarkaz.

Afterwards, Bai Ye met their commander, a little girl who looked quite young and had a single horn on her head.

A very mysterious person. Bai Ye can understand most of the things about this so-called self-rescue army, but he can't understand why the commander of such an organization is such a unicorn girl.

Clearly, there was more to the story. However, Bai Ye wasn't interested in it.

“My name is Clovisia, commander of the Londinium Citizens’ Self-Salvation Army.”

"Thank you for rescuing our secret messenger. We had planned to organize a rescue operation, but we lacked the manpower and didn't know where our friend was being held..."

Bai Ye waved his hand, then took boxes of goods from his inventory and placed them on the ground.

“I came to Londinium on another mission, but we share the same goal in dealing with the Sarkaz.” Bai Ye said, pointing to something on the ground. “I do need your help now, which is why I wanted to reach out to you through Miss Heidi.”

“Please speak, and we will do everything we can to help you.” Clovisia nodded. She seemed to know that Bai Ye was about to do something big.

"Distribute these windmills, have your people distribute them throughout the city."

Bai Ye opened the boxes he had brought from the core city, and they were full of... windmills.

From the outside, these windmills look almost no different from toys; they are windmills that children can hold in their hands and run in the wind to make them spin by themselves.

White Night needs to use the Londinium Citizens' Self-Help Army to distribute these windmills throughout the city.

“We will distribute these windmills as soon as possible... They will appear in various locations throughout the city within a day.”

Although the Self-Salvation Army's headquarters are in the Sadien district, they have people all over the city, and they have a good relationship with the civilians. These things can be distributed to children as toys.

“One day is not fast enough. I hope that by nightfall, the windmills will cover most of the districts that the Sarkaz have already occupied.”

The commander nodded:

"We will complete it as soon as possible."

Bai Ye didn't tell her what the windmills were for, and she didn't ask.

Before leaving, Bai Ye only reminded him:

"After that, the Sarkaz of Lontinim should be too busy to take care of themselves. This is your best chance to rescue people and retreat. After that, don't go to the battlefield. It's too dangerous there, and it's no longer a place for you to go."

The commander of the self-rescue army nodded. Although she was not clear about Bai Ye's plan, she could sense that the person in front of her was preparing to do something big.

This is a good thing for the self-rescue army and even for Lentinium.

Clovisia knew that this stranger would definitely cause a ruckus in Lentinium.

Chapter Twenty-Four: Halftime

"I am back."

Bai Ye did not stay long at the headquarters of the Londinium Citizens' Self-Salvation Army. After achieving his goal, Bai Ye returned to W's safe house.

The deep-sea hunters, who were guarding inside, saw Bai Ye, and the two girls, Skadi and Laurentina, happily embraced him. Goredia, already used to this, simply rolled her eyes and stopped paying attention to the situation.

Habits are a terrible thing, and that was certainly true for Goredia, who had accepted the fact that her teammates were infatuated with others.

Compared to being forced to their deaths by those bastard cultists who infiltrated their upper echelons, the lives of these surviving Deepsea Hunters were clearly a better choice. Even she sometimes couldn't help but wonder if it was still worthwhile to continue fighting as a Deepsea Hunter.

Whenever such doubts arose, Goredia would fall into deep self-blame.

Of course, Bai Ye was unaware of these thoughts of hers.

The other two deep-sea hunters were also completely unaware of this. However, it wasn't convenient for them to go too far right now, because Big Daddy was sitting in the corner.

The enormous Big Daddy was still wearing power armor, which made him appear even larger, forcing him to huddle in a corner. Although he said he didn't mind, his presence made the others behave themselves, otherwise it was indeed quite awkward.

W was actually preparing the explosives; she had been making preparations for some time now, since she didn't know when these bombs would come in handy.

Logos and Ascalon were nowhere to be found, and after arriving in Lentinium, White Night left them free to do as they pleased.

"Next, it's just waiting."

After resting for a while, Bai Ye suddenly fell into a strange state of leisure before the entire plan was completed.

He plans to wait until the windmills have spread with the help of the Self-Salvation Army before proceeding with the next step of his plan.

Therefore, with nothing to do, Bai Ye could only lie in the safe house, looking at the game system panel with great interest.

On player forums, the most popular discussion right now is still about the arena event.

The activities there were so lively that they attracted the attention of almost all the players, so much so that these "fun things" in Lentinium did not receive their attention.

Unlike before the time travel, the major events in Londinium did not become a major expansion pack for this version, which is what Bai Ye hoped to see.

In this matter, Bai Ye did not want players to get involved, as that would make the already chaotic situation even more difficult to control.

This current situation is probably the best, since when facing the Sarkaz, there are already enough things to attract their attention and restrain them.

……

Bai Ye lay on the sofa for quite some time. It had been a while since he had rested with his head on Skadi's or Laurentina's laps, and with his father right next to him, this was the limit of what he could do.

Resting her head on Skadi's soft thighs, Byakuya woke up again only to realize that she had actually fallen asleep.

"How long have I been asleep?" Bai Ye turned his head curiously, but all he could see were towering mountains blocking his view, obscuring Skadi's face. He couldn't help but reach out and poke them.

“About... an hour.” Skadi’s face flushed slightly as she answered softly.

"It's time to get up and check. Hopefully, Miss Gretia has already set up the platform we need."

Bai Ye sat up from Skadi and then walked towards the next room under the girl's somewhat disappointed gaze.

"He probably won't have time to talk to us until this matter is finished," Laurentina whispered from the side.

Then she shook her head again:

"Hmm... wait, now there's another one, Tarurua. That dragon girl on land is also one of us..."

Skadi couldn't help but laugh as she listened to her companion's mutterings.

-------------------------------------

Bai Ye walked into the next room, which was originally a warehouse used to store miscellaneous items, but now Bai Ye and Gretia had transformed it into a data processing center.

"you're awake."

Goredia sat in front of the terminal, testing the stability of the connection between here and the "Cyclops" in the sky, which served as a data receiver.

Upon seeing Bai Ye enter, she asked in a declarative tone.

"I've rested enough, it's time to get back to work. Thank you for helping me set this up," Bai Ye said with a smile.

“It was just a small favor. What surprised me more was that by looking up information about Lontinim, I discovered that this country had actually built its own fleet.” Goredia nodded.

"High-speed land-based warships shouldn't be anything new, right?" Bai Ye was initially somewhat dismissive.

However, Goredia shook her head:

"Not a fleet on land, but one at sea."

"?" Bai Ye blinked. He really didn't know that Victoria had its own fleet.

"Do you know the Krasd Inland Sea?" Goredia opened a map of Terra and pointed it out to White Night.

“Let me think, this name sounds familiar… Oh, is it that huge inland lake region that connects Sargon and Iberia from the south of Victoria?” Bai Ye suddenly realized, “Siesta seems to be in this area.”

This is probably how the people of Terra, who live on land, understand the "sea".

“Because of the existence of this inland lake, Victoria is one of the few land-based nations that has built its own fleet,” Greta explained. “Unfortunately, the Lion King’s fleet was destroyed by the Iberian fleet and sank to the bottom of the lake.”

“That’s probably all the connection this country has with the deep sea.” Goredia examined the data she had collected from Kazimierz and Victoria and found that these land-based nations knew very little about the deep sea.

"Let's put the ocean aside for now and see how our friends are doing," Bai Ye said, activating the terminal.

The principle behind these small windmills is actually much simpler than the "aerial loop" of the core city. Their function is not to monitor the entire Londinium in real time, but to collect the wind passing through various places to explore the structure of the entire city and the distribution of the Sarkaz army.

"It seems that it cannot cover the entire area."

Goredia glanced at the terminal screen, which was clearly blank in the central city area.

"That means there aren't any of their people there, so we don't need to worry about accidentally hurting anyone," Bai Ye said with a smile.

Chapter Twenty-Five: The Path Revealed

On the terminal display screen in front of Bai Ye and Goredia, the land structure of various areas of Lontinim was slowly being displayed.

Perhaps this is the most detailed and accurate three-dimensional structural diagram of Lentinium that exists to date, even more precise than the one in Sarkaz's possession.

Nothing can stop the all-pervasive winds that circulate throughout Londinium, from the ground to the underground, through the pipes of the industrial base, past the Sarkaz royal army's camps, through the Carrion King who is reorganizing his army, and roar over the top of the Shards.

No one pays attention to these air currents mixed in with the normal air, just as no one notices how many wisps of wind there are today.

However, it was precisely because of these insignificant, inconspicuous winds that the city's specific structure was figured out. The windmills collected this information through inconspicuous camouflage units and transmitted it to the "Cyclops" in the sky. After being processed by the artificial intelligence on board, it was finally transmitted to Bai Ye's terminal in the safe house.

This amount of data is not considered extremely large for the artificial intelligence on the "Graduate Giant". Unlike the "Sky Loop" in the core city, which monitors the entire city in real time and generates massive amounts of data every second, the core city's artificial intelligence, Luna, needs to analyze this data to identify anything that might be detrimental to the core city, and then inform Bai Ye of the results.

Such a workload is nothing for Luna, and doesn't even require much of her computing power, but it's outrageous for ordinary artificial intelligence.

However, there's no need to monitor the entire city here; the artificial intelligence on the Cyclops alone can handle the job.

Soon, Bai Ye discovered the location of his second target in Lentinium.

"Greteia, look this way." Bai Ye zoomed in and out of the 3D map on the terminal screen, adjusting its position until he finally found a long passage and a huge area connected to it.

"The resting place of all kings..." Clearly, Goredia also knew the purpose of White Night's trip to Londinium.

Besides that damned Shards building, all that's left is that sword.

“It seems we’ll have to make a trip before we can implement our plan.” Bai Ye stood up and looked at the map on the terminal.

“I’ll go with you.” Skadi stood up from the sofa and looked at Bai Ye.

"Okay." Bai Ye nodded.

With that, W and the remaining two Deepsea Hunters and Big Daddy remained in the safe house, while White Night and Skadi went to the location where the Breath of the Kings was stored.

-------------------------------------

This time, Bai Ye did not go to the surface.

Having obtained a rough three-dimensional map of Londinium, the city held almost no secrets for Bai Ye.

There's no need to walk on the ground; it's drizzling outside, so it's not suitable for hiking.

Underground, there are equally wide and mysterious passages that connect all parts of the city, forming a network that leads in all directions.

The resting place of the kings is located underground, so you can simply go down there.

"This door leads to the underground passage." W had already prepared the underground exit.

"I hope everything goes well." Bai Ye opened the door and entered the dark underground passage.

Skadi followed behind him, carrying her "instrument case" on her back.

In fact, she was the most suitable person to follow Bai Ye. After all, Laurentina's strength was weakened by her damn Oripathy, and Big Daddy's size was too large, which might cause him to get stuck when digging tunnels.

If the underground passage were large enough, Big Daddy might be a better fit, since he's even tankier than Skadi when he's wearing power armor.

……

The two walked through the dark, shadowy passage, and Bai Ye could see Skadi's eyes gleaming in the darkness. Most Deepsea Hunters have white hair and red eyes because they live at the bottom of the deep sea, where there is a lack of ultraviolet radiation.

Conversely, they are also more adapted to dark environments. In the dark, they can easily distinguish their surroundings and detect lurking enemies. Bai Ye speculated that Hai Si's enhancement surgery also strengthened their abilities in this area.

As for Bai Ye, he didn't actually need dark vision much, since the omnipresent wind had already imprinted the surrounding environment in his mind. However, he was also a half-Hai Si cyborg, so his dark vision was actually no less than that of the Deep Sea Hunter beside him.

Neither of them made a conscious effort to slow their pace, as they seemed unconcerned about being exposed.

There is no third person here.

They were walking in an ancient tunnel. Bai Ye could feel how ancient the stone bricks under his feet were made of. It was probably never used like this since the tunnel was built.

Bai Ye glanced at the portable terminal and realized it was a hidden emergency passage. He stopped in front of the wall next to it.

Skadi reached out and knocked on the wall; a hollow sound came from inside.

“Looks like we’ve come to the right place… Titi, break it open.” Bai Ye nodded.

Skadi didn't take her weapon from the "instrument case" on her back; instead, she simply raised her fist.

Bai Ye activated the soundproof barrier.
