Arknights, but the family has fallen again

Chapter 276 Return Together

"...I would rather you focus on Ye Liya." The Patriot seemed to regard it as an active gesture of goodwill from Otto.

Although he did have a firm grasp of the Ursus people's pulse for a long time, the Patriot's political talents were still limited.

Ott explained: "This has nothing to do with Frost Star. Rhodes Island has its own interests in this matter."

"Regarding 'blood money,' you heard it from the Reunion Movement, and perhaps overlooked a very important part."

The nun said: "'Blood money' not only represents the money and men that the rulers have obtained through violence, but also represents the reward that the ruled have taken back through violence - their lives."

"Between two rulers, when survival itself begins to count, it's not just the infected who will vote with their feet."

The Patriot frowned: "It's hard to understand."

No matter how Ursus controlled public opinion, since not all members of the Reunion Movement came to Facility 14, the rumor of "the infected seizing a mobile city" would inevitably ferment.

In the original world line of this story, the infected people from various countries are selectively blind and deaf, and only pay attention to the fact that "the infected people have their own cities."

As the Patriots lead the remnants of the Reunion Movement northward, more and more infected people will rush to Chernobog for various reasons.

Tsar Fyodor himself is a reformist, and there is a high probability that he will simply start his infected reform from this point.

The Ursus region either pretended to obey or doubled down on the implementation.

In any case, a considerable number of non-infected people will follow this rare migration window in Ursus, blindly projecting their yearning for a better life and rushing towards Chernobyl like crazy.

If the development of Che City stagnates, then this active migration will not last long. But... Ott does intend to develop Che City.

In this way, even if Otto recovers the sarcophagus, this border city with a unique geographical location will still rise again and become a popular city in Ursus.

He also planned to make Chechen a loyal "royalist" in the name of "Rostov".

"By the way, visit Sammy for me."

"Sammy?" The Patriot frowned. "Cyclops won't be coming back."

"Not last time, and certainly not this time."

It seems that Wendigo's prejudice against Otto is quite deep-rooted.

"No, remember Hantan? The daughter of Hantan, Simone."

"My surgery, her eyes."

The nun nodded and said, "We have some cooperation with Rhine Life in Columbia, and we happen to need someone who is adapted to the Inferior Icefield to participate."

Due to natural factors, a blizzard is raging across the Inferi Icefield. Magellan, a Rhine Life employee about to be dispatched to Rhodes Island, is unknowingly trapped at the research station. Furthermore, the accessories dropped by the Collapse Demon Guards have sparked Ott's interest in Sammy.

“After the matter was settled, I asked her to stay in Tsapat and temporarily take over the work of setting up the office in the Sami region.”

"It's impractical to send the infected across the entire Ursus Empire to Chernobog. If necessary, we can bring them to Chapat."

Tsapat, full name Tsapat-Gavri, is a tourist town in southern Sami, jointly run by some Sami tribes and Colombia. Honestly, this makes Ott feel itchy.

"……clear."

The patriot nodded.

Just as the Patriot was about to leave, Ott, true to his character, asked, "But what about the Cyclops you just mentioned?"

The Cyclops is a beneficiary of the Originium Girlification Mod Pack... and is one of the Ten Royal Courts of the Sarkaz.

But after a certain Cyclops demon king "The Oracle" who was good at prophecy saw a terrible future, the Cyclops clan rushed to the north, to the forefront of "existence" and "non-existence".

These Cyclops were divided into two groups, one group kept watch in the Winter Teeth Mountains, and the other group headed north to "search for the wounds of the earth."

In the numerous and confusing Sami myths, the shadow of the Cyclops can be vaguely seen. They are the "Dietán (prophet) women" who, in various stories, are destined to arrive in Sami and teach the Sami people their writing.

"Alex, don't you want to go to Longmen?"

Watching the conversation between Ott's messenger and the patriot from afar, the Kingslayer poked the broken bones out of boredom.

"I've seen her on the show over at Longmen."

"This is enough?"

"This is enough."

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

Misha's performance was a dance performed by the agents from the Longmen and Kirijo offices. Despite their youth and good looks, their overall skill level was... average.

Considering the length of the practice, it's not bad.

"Miss Jiu, would you like to go to the night market together later?" Misha invited enthusiastically.

It turned out that the former leader of the "New Integration Movement" had returned to the Longmen office.

But before Jiu could say anything, the soldiers suddenly heard the familiar yet not-so-familiar sound of a fire alarm.

As Ott's "militia", they did receive a short period of firefighting training. Their basic skills were far inferior to those of professional firefighters, but they were indeed better than ordinary people.

In addition, thanks to the presence of liquefied gas backpacks, they actually have quite a few unique skills in firefighting.

"Large fire in Longmen's Lower City! Seconded personnel!"

"Longmen Phase II! Centurion! Grab your backpack! Get on the bus!"

The Earth Spirit's tired voice came over the radio.

"It seems that the night market is going to be cancelled." Jiu stood up.

"Yes." Misha's face also showed a determined look.

On the way, the soldiers exchanged information with each other.

"What exactly happened?"

"The fire site was a tube-shaped building. I've been there before. It was a very complicated building with piles of buildings on top of each other."

"Wouldn't a lot of people die then?"

"I'm afraid so."

"How did you start the fire?"

"How would I know now?"

When the soldiers arrived at the scene, they found a petite Zarak leading the disaster relief efforts.

The fire dragon was already dancing wildly, and soldiers in fire-resistant suits were already holding water hoses, trying to contain it. Where the fire had subsided, ladders were set up, and people were already evacuating from there.

She spoke rapidly, "Thank you very much for arriving so quickly. Our target is on a high floor, the situation is complex, there are many igniting materials, and there is a shortage of firefighting equipment. We need to use a multi-pronged approach to ensure our survival!"

In the dark night, the blazing fire was particularly dazzling. The soldiers did not stop squeezing out the frost until the sky turned light.

"Is it over?" Misha was a little shaky.

A child, his body blackened by smoke, hugged Misha's body and shouted, "Someone has fallen in Rhodes Island! Come and help!"

Vast and vast.

Chapter 277 Migration

The steel behemoth did not flinch and moved forward resolutely towards the dim sunset and scarlet afterglow.

But the hurricane that brought up the sand and dust was also filled with water vapor.

During the journey, several small doors next to the leeward gate opened.

On the off-road motorcycles, the messengers of natural disasters were confirming their targets.

"Are the only ones that need to be notified the mobile towns on the waterway?" Provence's big tail shook and bent into a question mark.

For various reasons, in the land of Terra, the technology of building mobile plots is like the technology of cycling, swimming, etc.

Once you master it, it is very simple, but if you don’t, it is extremely difficult.

Beneath the highly developed mobile cities of various nations, there are also various mobile towns and even various mobile platforms. As Gnosis lamented not long ago, the main ship of Rhodes Island is actually a rather large "mobile platform."

Along the paths of the mobile city's cruising routes, various small mobile towns—most of them smaller than Rhode Island—were active. They would often seize the opportunity to quickly carry out various activities, including trade, during the brief encounters with the larger cities.

Provence scratched his head and said, "I remember there should be a few villages nearby!"

"Ah? How could it be so?" Yue He was surprised: "There are still people living in a land like this?"

If the waterways are the fertile fields of civilization, then beyond them lies the "bad land" far removed from the civilized world. Land suitable for farming and grazing has long been relocated to mobile cities or has been mapped out by their cruising paths...

In villages far away from waterways, agricultural and pastoral conditions are often extremely poor.

Provence took out the terminal and tried to contact Otto.

She added casually, "Regions with unusual climates like these don't have any mobile towns or cities visiting them, so communication is difficult."

"But the nobles and their tax collectors rarely come!"

Yue He seemed to be lost in thought and said, "A harsh government is more ferocious than a tiger."

"...was that Yan language? Aren't you from the East?"

Before Yue He could answer, Provence's terminal lit up:

"This is Ote. Provence, you are right, there are villages nearby."

Ott replied, "But those villages have disappeared from official records. Using public trade data from nearby cities, combined with the flow of daily necessities and construction materials, I can give a clear answer: they are still in this area, but have voluntarily moved from their original locations."

Since the ship left Longmen and Qiecheng, Otto has been diligently and selflessly doing good deeds.

He proactively planned and dispatched Rhodes Island's natural disaster messengers to a series of cities, towns, and villages along the route to provide early warnings or collect data. After a long "fishing" process, Ott finally found a suitable entry point.

"Taking many factors into consideration, these villages proactively severed their ties with the local Leithanian nobles and broke free from their rule. They may have moved away from their original locations, but there's a high probability that they were still within the range of the natural disaster."

"Aren't they in great danger now?" Reinhardt bit his fingertips. "A new natural disaster is about to occur, but no one can notify them!"

No matter how vile and despicable the nobles were, they still had a simple obligation to the lambs under their rule: to inform them of the coming of natural disasters.

"How can you say no one informed them!" Provence's eyes sparkled.

Yue He and Reinhardt couldn't help but laugh: "And us!"

"Wait a moment, the mission is being replanned." Ott's voice came from the Provence terminal: "...You will be conducting a long-term field mission lasting five days."

"Each Scourge Messenger will be accompanied by two guards, carrying the necessary supplies, and will act separately."

The elevator lowered three enclosed off-road vehicles. In each vehicle, two operators were busy putting on protective clothing.

It seems that they received Otto's orders earlier than the Scourge Messengers, but only to a limited extent.

"The most likely current locations of these villages, as well as their migration routes, have been compiled into a laminated map. As a backup, check your personal terminals."

Provence looked at the other two messengers for help.

"It's a new email." Yuehe said.

"The same information has been forwarded to your terminal as a file. But please be careful, the terminal's reliability is not very high in extreme weather."

Reinhardt had already gathered in front of a car: "Ayers (Cliff)! It's been a long time since we've done anything together!"

"First of all, it hasn't been that long. It's just that your recent operations don't require a messenger." Cliff said calmly, "Secondly, there's no need to be so surprised. After all, we are old partners."

Ansel, who was in the same car, said, "Hello, Mr. Reinhardt, just call me Ansel. The doctor has arranged an additional free clinic for our group."

In the other car were two girls from the East.

"Wow! It's Yu... ahem." Yan, the female college student, coughed fakely. She tried to hide her mistake, but then added, "I didn't expect to meet such an elegant Easterner in Rhodes Island! My code name is Yan!"

Ye Dao is frugal with words: "Ye Dao."

"Hello, I'm Yue He, the Disaster Patrol."

"If there is a choice, it is better for long-term field work to be carried out by people of the same gender and speaking a similar language," said the terminal.

"Huh? I don't see any Syracuse!" Provence's tail twitched. "Rem Billiton Team, East Country Team, why aren't there any Syracuse people assigned to me?!"

"You're already a veteran employee, you don't get these thoughtful new employee benefits." Otto said mercilessly: "A 'same sex' that's convenient for travel is enough!"

The scavenger threw out a silver coin. After looking at the pattern, she was silent for a moment and explained, "Provence, there are no two Syracuse women on this ship to be deployed right now."

Graythroat half-forced himself to speak in a low voice, "I volunteered. I've told the doctor before that if you need long-term or long-distance field work, please feel free to use me."
