Arknights, but the family has fallen again

"Children of Ursus".

Because she kissed Otto while she was distracted, Warfarin had been forced to lead several punitive rescues between the Rhodes Island main ship and Chernobog.

And these little bears are the "harvest" of her trip.

"Kal'tsit?" Warfarin sniffed, looking puzzled.

It's Kelsey.

After smelling it, I felt a little unsure.

Smell again...

"I'm here too." Ott said this through Kal'tsit.

Ok?

This feeling... is Otto!

how come!

No, no!

A few days ago, that mind control technology!

Warfarin gasped.

The rumors during the Sarkaz civil war, the strange "order" not long ago, and his own involuntary closeness... Of course, the most important and decisive evidence is undoubtedly "Kal'tsit"'s personal admission just now!

Blood Demon, she finally pieced all the clues together!

She immediately turned into a bloody shadow in fear and hid behind a pillar.

She yelled, "You, you, you! You are Ott! You are Duo... Ugh!"

Halfway through her words, she involuntarily covered her mouth.

Ott's cold voice rang out in her heart: "Right now, we have more important matters to focus on. Please be quiet for a moment."

This polite "request" is almost impossible to refuse.

It's not that there really is some irresistible force. Huafalin herself can feel it clearly: that vague spiritual connection can be torn to pieces with just a slight thought.

But in the process of following Ott's orders, there was something so... reassuring.

The empty heart seemed to have found a support, a different sense of fulfillment and achievement, soothing his nerves while obeying Otto's orders.

There is no ambition, no fear, as a moving puppet following orders, everything is so... down to earth?

Yes, I can refuse anytime I want...

So why not just obey and enjoy this sense of fulfillment?

No! wrong!

Warfarin shook his head.

This is so weird!

As a blood demon, Huafalin tasted the "toxicity" hidden in Otto's "spiritual link".

For those with thick nerves, their overly passionate emotions can easily drive Otto away. Scientists or artists, on the other hand, are more likely to reach this aspect of the spiritual connection through rationality or emotion.

"No," Kal'tsit said, "Doc Otter is human."

This is a negation of an affirmative nature.

Due to their similarities and rarity, many casual observers confuse the Mind Flayers with the Whiplash. However, Whiplash are a clan that can be included in the Ten Kings Court, and the Mind Flayers?

Instead, Huafalin further confirmed that Otto was the ethnic group that was notorious even among the Sarkaz - otherwise, why did you just say "human"?

Who is not a "human being"?

Kal'tsit opened her lips slightly, and Ott said, "Just now, Miss Warfarin just wanted to ease the awkward atmosphere."

"Welcome everyone to Rhodes Island."

"We are a borderless medical organization dedicated to humanitarian aid. Usually at this time, we would say some encouraging words and tell you that you will be able to return home soon."

The children looked gloomy.

"But Chernobog has already surpassed the limits of repair," Ott pronounced. "The vast majority of its population was infected while facing the natural disaster, and the vast majority of its land was destroyed by the natural disaster."

"Given Ursus's brutal style, this land will most likely not receive any decent assistance."

"On the contrary, the military police, the special forces, and even the army will surround Chernobog, awaiting the final judgment of the Holy Fortress."

"After all, no city in Ursus has ever been so thoroughly infected. There's no precedent to look back on. Chernobog's future will be determined by the game between the Tsar and the nobles."

"However, no matter which side wins, Chernobog will no longer be your home."

"If the Tsar wins, Chernobog will become a virtual lawless zone governed by rogue infected. They have tasted blood and lost their humanity in the fall of Chernobog. Even after wiping off the blood and putting on clothes again, they will probably find it difficult to repair Chernobog."

"The nobles will triumph, and Chernobog will be a symbol of victory for the army over the industrial nobility. The remnants of Chernobog will be devoured by the ripping beasts, large and small."

Like other words, "bear" is a term used specifically for Ursus people on Terra. However, Ott deliberately chose "cracked beast", a term used to describe bear-like beasts on Terra, to emphasize the bestiality of the nobles.

"The nobles won't repair Chernobog either."

"On the contrary, after the vast frozen lands that Chernobog once controlled are divided up, the remains of this city will hang high on the eastern border of the Ursus Empire as a shrunken corpse, a warning to other industrial nobles."

The cold words pierced the children's hearts like sharp swords.

These children had just walked out of a living hell, but were subjected to verbal torture by Otto.

They had been looking forward to returning to "normal."

But Otto kept repeating a fact, a fact that they refused to accept: you can never go back.

The huge gap made several younger children cry.

"Hey! Green cat!"

Strictly speaking, Kal'tsit is just wearing green-hued clothes, she is actually very white - in every aspect.

One bold child stood out.

In-ear headphones nestled in her adorable bear ears, a few red strands dangling from her long brown hair. A furry coat covered her beige school uniform vest, and fitted red leggings jutted out from beneath her short skirt.

Many children turned their attention to her. It seemed that she was a leader in the eyes of quite a few children.

Sonya, nicknamed General Winter, is the future Operator Winter.

"You're standing here lecturing us, aren't you trying to make a few people cry?" Sonia took a deep breath and shouted, "If you want to do something to us, just say it!"

Kelsey nodded slightly, and Ott said through her: "Very good, very energetic, I like children like you."

Chapter 92: Hamster wheel, squeaky and spinning

Ott's words came out of Kelsey's lips: "Our company is undergoing a new round of expansion and needs a large number of reliable manpower."

"And you are the children we rescued from Chernobog."

"You are all young enough and have great potential. For various reasons, you have cut off all ties with the outside world and have a clean record."

Ott remained calm and said, "I hope that some of you will become the backbone of the team that Rhodes Island has cultivated."

Indeed, many children looked up, their eyes full of desire.

"After all this talk, what if we don't want to?" Sonya asked loudly.

Not all the kids looked up to her as a leader, and now, some were already glaring at her.

But Sonya didn't seem to care at all.

Maomao tilted his head and said calmly, "For those who are not infected, you can go to live with your relatives and experience the life of a dependent."

"Rhodes Island will not stop you and will even help you make contact. Once everything is over, we will escort you there."

"As for the infected..." Otto paused and said, "If you insist on doing the same, Rhodes Island will also help you."

"But... as Ursusians, you should be aware of the fate of those infected with Ursus."

There was a lot of discussion in the audience.

"Rhodes Island wants to recruit us, right?" Sonia summarized simply and roughly.

"Not exactly, yes."

Little Bear said angrily, "Yes, then it is! No, then it is not! Why do you speak in such a strange tone?!"

Congratulations! Rhodes Island, a land teeming with riddlers, has welcomed a new straight-shooter!

Ott ignored Sonya and said his last words to these half-grown Ursus children: "The cafeteria is over here. We have other things to take care of. Just follow Miss Warfarin."

Then, Kal'tsit's body shook slightly.

After standing still, his face was still cold.

"Hey!" Sonya said anxiously.

But she wasn't quite sure what she was anxious about.

This is what intuitive people do.

At this moment, other children quietly tugged at the corner of her clothes.

Sonia tutted a few times and didn't ask any further questions.

I! ?

Hearing this, Huafalin suddenly realized: Wait, does this mean... I can go back to the ship?

Warfarin suppressed her laughter and said to the Ursus people, "Over here, over here! The Rhodes Island cafeteria has..."

Kal'tsit watched them walk away.

She sighed.

Before leaving, Otto assigned her another task: go to the engineering department and rearrange the research and development of pneumatic firearms.

This incident itself is not important.

The important thing is that Kal'tsit has smelled a familiar smell... Ott is intentionally or unintentionally expanding the boundaries of his own power.

And this time, it was his attempt to command himself.

As always, the tasks assigned by Otto were either very easy to do, well-rewarded, or extremely necessary...

In short, reputation, responsibility, interests... the price he paid made most people willing to follow it.

In reality, after only a few days, most operators had become accustomed to reporting to Otto. After leaving Otto's remote office, they would often unknowingly pick up another assignment.

The entire Rhodes Island, once again, has become a set of hamster wheels that never stop.

A pair of invisible eyes carefully examines the "surplus value" of each hamster and meticulously selects a track for each hamster. After passing through a series of complex transmission devices, hamster wheels of all sizes provide their own "help" to Ott's goal, whether large or small.

but……

She would do it, Kal'tsit would do it.

The situation had led to another avenue. Rhodes Island now needed a batch of pneumatic firearms that could be used immediately, "barely enough." Redesigning the gun bodies based on the seamless steel pipes ordered by Ott would greatly speed up this process.

"Or it is absolutely necessary."

This bullet, originally intended to ridicule others, hit his own forehead precisely.

Kal'tsit shook her head and stopped thinking about it.

……

"Are you kidding me?!" Klushier scratched her long black hair into a mess.

"We just delivered the liquefied gas equipment! Now he wants to change the plan!?" The oil demon who loves oil but not serum shouted like this.

"No need to make any changes to the backpack." Kel'tsit showed off her handheld terminal and said, "For the gun, his only requirement was to follow this size."

Klucie looked at the terminal with a strange expression: "Is this a water pipe?"

Generally speaking, Terra still lacks this spirit of mastery of skills in playing puzzles.

On Terra, the most important component of a firearm is actually the "casting unit".
