Arknights, but the family has fallen again

Amid the roar of artillery fire, the heavy armored operators pounded the ground with their thick shields, and the guards operators struck the wall with the hilts of their swords.

After attracting the attention of the masked thugs and the sound of gunfire stopped, Ott said in an emotionless voice: "Lay down your weapons, surrender and you will not be killed."

Jingle Bell.

The sounds of weapons falling to the ground quickly became continuous, and then began to drip.

A few people who were originally in a state of "Who am I, what am I doing, the boss tells me to go for it" began a new round of sleepwalking.

Sleepwalking is a low-level feature that you have to try.

On the other side, Meteorite took a deep breath.

Not long ago, after the artillery fire sounded, Otto sent a message to her, asking her to take the opportunity to screen out a part of the integration movement and not to return to defend.

This order seemed very reasonable to Otto... but there was only one small problem: there were indeed a few former members of the Integration Movement among this wave of newcomers to Longmen, but they no longer wanted to get involved with the current "Whole Life Movement".

Now, they have two choices: one is to follow the increasingly abstract movement that requires them to kidnap innocent girls, create riots in the city, and promises nothing but death and hatred; the other is to follow a group of people who are beautiful but stupid... stupid but beautiful... in short, to provide them with cheap medical care, job opportunities, hospice care and funeral services... a group of stupid good people who really do things for the infected.

In the eyes of ordinary people, there is almost no hesitation in making a choice between the two.

The operators on this ship, wearing red, blue, and even white caps, and carrying the necessary weapons, seemed to be casually participating in their work. The newcomers on Longmen, wearing yellow hard hats, were doing a preliminary cleanup of the debris at the selected site.

As a temporary, unofficial prison, it only needed some renovations, not a complete new construction. Furthermore, the equipment hadn't been fully transported here yet. If it were really for construction, it would be impossible for so many people to visit here at once.

After hearing the sound of gunfire, a newcomer from Longmen suddenly asked, "Come to think of it, Sister Meteorite, didn't the doctor and the others capture some infected people earlier?"

He hesitated and asked the crucial question: "What's wrong with them now?"

Meteor looked at the Scourge Messenger wearing a strange helmet.

Her expression suddenly turned cold, and her fluffy tail stopped wagging.

Provence.

Otto deliberately used extremely idiotic rhetoric, cryptically stating, "After the construction of this privately-owned forced labor facility is complete, Rhodes Island will seize management rights from the Royal Guards. If these infected individuals survive until then, they will receive the punishment they deserve."

“No more than that, no less than that.”

He wished these people would rebel right then and there...

But this "talent" who was almost certainly a member of the integration movement breathed a sigh of relief.

"Is that so... I understand." As he spoke, he even had the strength to move bricks.

Ott tilted his head, and Rupert's pupils were full of confusion.

If you surrender to the enemy like this, wouldn't all the hard work I put into preparing for you be in vain?

Otto immediately wrote "preparations were made but the accident did not happen" into the book of hatred.

No, why are you so weird?

Chapter 127 I won't monitor you all the time

Ott focused more of his attention on the office, where the operators were working hard to maintain order and protect civilians in the surrounding buildings.

Although this was a bit foolish tactically, strategically, it was the very foundation of the "Knights" of Rhodes Island. As long as they were still in control of this organization, they could not ignore the beliefs on which it was built.

Otherwise, the organization's degeneration or disintegration is imminent - and unlike the evil degeneration in some works, this degeneration is completely uninspiring and can only make people's blood boil and feel sad for their lack of resistance.

"Sharp, take your team to the guard camp." Huang ordered another operator in a cold tone that was very inconsistent with his character.

The Guard Camp was the previously rented camp. Otter had originally planned to put it into use later, so now it needed more and stronger operators to slightly strengthen its defenses.

And Sharp is a powerful elite guard operator.

He appears in both Kjerag plots, and based on the principle of left foot on right foot, his individual combat effectiveness is similar to that of a mace.

This operator, Phidia, is one of the veteran operators who joined Rhodes Island when it was first established. However, until he decided to join Rhodes Island, he had always been a man who just did his best to get by.

Interestingly, even after he was willing to devote all his energy to Rhodes Island, his stubborn attitude of "it's just a job" was often teased by other elite operators.

And he is one of Huang's "predecessors".

Based on Sharp's understanding of Huang, even if he currently holds the temporary supreme command in principle, this big cat from Rhodes Island should not be able to "give orders" to him like this.

Is it...

Certain rumors flashed through Sharp's mind.

"Understood." He responded briefly, then led his team into the guard camp without looking back.

The main problem facing the office right now is not how to ensure its safety.

With Otto bringing a large number of operators from the ship, the office's construction was able to operate at almost full capacity.

In the absence of air superiority and high-powered artillery, attacking a well-fortified stronghold is almost an impossible task.

What is more difficult for Otto right now is how to protect civilians.

The sound of cannons on the city wall and the unusually inappropriate drones caused great confusion among the crowd.

Of course, the crowd can be smart, but when everyone is trying to be clever, the whole crowd will behave very stupidly.

"Get out of the way! Let me pass!" In a hurry, a vicious man pushed forward.

"Don't stop me!"

At present, this is just an attempt to reach a safe place faster than others. But soon, such people will become another danger themselves.

Bang!

Huang's muscular yet fleshy thighs drove her feet to stomp hard on the ground.

Under her Originium skills, a large amount of airflow was expelled, forming a dust cloud and causing a huge noise.

Before order could break down and the crowd could be drawn to her, Big Cat fiercely shouted, "Maintain! Order!"

The operators also responded to the pressure and, under Otto's instructions, launched an attack on the surging crowd.

They formed a line, holding up their large shields, like a living wall, forcibly restraining the crowd.

This trick can only be used temporarily, mainly to restore order.

"You! Come here!"

With a bit of roughness, an operator pulled out several "thugs" who had just performed "outstandingly" and happened to be at hand.

The big cat kept shouting, "Keep order! We will use further force if necessary!"

Under Otto's remote micro-management, the operators drew personnel from the living wall and punished those who "disobeyed discipline" with violence.

After paying with a few broken teeth and some bruises, the team gradually settled down.

The operators in the guard camp wanted to rush out several times, but under the orders of Otto in the headset and the dissuasion of Sharp, they watched the big cat gradually restore order to the crowd.

"Doctor, it was you...you just now, right?" Sharp asked in a low voice as he looked at Huang's command which was gradually becoming decisive.

Ott's voice came from the tactical headset: "It was me who gave you the order. After that, I was just observing."

After a brief pause, another voice came from the headset: "Next time you want to talk to me, I suggest you speak louder and address the drone or the Scourge Messenger."

Ott emphasized: "I will not monitor you all the time."

Sharp remained silent, but he was secretly complaining: Not all the time, does that mean he is definitely monitoring me now?

The tactical headset transmitted another voice: "First, although the intensity is very low now and it is only riot control, it has the potential to escalate at any time..."

In the distance, a crossbow arrow broke through the air and shot towards the operator's chest, but the operator had a sudden inspiration and slightly turned sideways.

The crossbow bolt then pierced a civilian's shoulder.

Regardless of who was hit, opening fire alone in advance was an extremely inappropriate act in itself, indicating a decline in the quality of the integrated movement's recruits.

Then, the voice continued to come from the headset: "...As you can see now, it has been upgraded."

Sharp's face was cold, but he was thinking about something else: The legend is true! The doctor can possess people! And he can even read minds!

The tactical headset "replied" almost immediately: "And, no, I can't read minds."

Otto really "can't" read Sharp's mind, he "can" only read the mind of beautiful girls.

Sharp's eyes moved slightly upwards, but he forced himself to hold back.

How can you talk to me from a distance if you can't read my mind?

The answer is that all of you have this idea, and Otto is used to it.

At the same time, Ott broadcast in this area: "The PRTS system has detected melee units. Based on the current situation, it is determined that there are a large number of enemy ranged units lurking. Please pay attention."

The officers from the office and the guard camp couldn't help but tighten their weapons.

Under the command of a legendary commander who is almost invincible, fighting and war have become an exciting game that has eliminated the shadow of failure.

A sense of honor and justice surged in their chests.

Looking at the source of the crossbow bolt, Sharp reported to Otto, "From visual observation, it can be determined that it is an Originium technique that conceals the figure."

Faust's Phantom Crossbowmen unit.

As an army capable of concealing itself under certain conditions, it was only natural that they would be the main force infiltrating Lungmen in this worldline. Furthermore, the Ghost Squad might have infiltrated in a similar manner.

As for the others, further firepower reconnaissance is needed.

In a split second, the operators received orders separately and independently through their tactical headsets, thus splitting up again.

The most valuable thing the office has right now is the various written materials it has accumulated over the past few days: medical records of civilians in the slums, files on infected people, records of "agency" law enforcement...

There are too few of them.

So little that it can be easily protected.

Chapter 128: Recently, the Earth Spirit has overheated due to excessive inspiration. Please be informed.

There are literally "too few" valuable things in the office, so all we need to do is keep these things safe, and there is no distinction between the office and the guard camp.

In fact, at present, the degree of fortification of the office is far higher than that of the guard camp! They can serve as each other's strategic fulcrums to assist the operators in completing the mission of Otto.

As long as it is not breached, then... draw the enemy's main force here...

No, facing the current enemies, is it necessary to use such a sledgehammer to defeat a nut?

"Doc Otter?" Amiya was a little scared when she saw the smile on Otto's lips.

Ott himself, Amiya and their team are escorting a group of masked thugs to the "re-education center".

Ott's unilateral output came through the tactical headset: "Among the newcomers joining the Longmen office, there are a small number who, before the Black Snake Twisted Integration Movement, had already been loyal to Tallulah and joined this 'Infected Rights Organization.'"

Ott particularly emphasized the "Infected People's Rights Organization" because, in the eyes of the public and most of Rhodes Island's employees, Rhodes Island Pharmaceuticals is also an "Infected People's Rights Organization."

"I've discovered their presence, but I'm not sure who they are or how many there are. I've tried to force these unstable elements to retreat, but they've settled down and shown great acceptance."

"Their agreement is certainly a good thing, but the reasons for their agreement are unclear. If their issues explode when we are no longer on guard, the consequences are unknown. We must conduct one final stress test on this."

This kind of talk... is indeed very Doc Otter-esque.

"Ah ha ha……"

Amiya smiled awkwardly.

Yes, what else can the little rabbit do when dealing with a father like Otto who is extremely insecure?

She didn't have a pair of breasts that could give her old father a great sense of security, or a pair of legs that could be used as a pillow for his knees...

"This group of disarmed thugs will serve as a living advertisement for Rhodes Island's fair treatment of infected prisoners, further undermining the loyalty of potential veterans of the Reunion Movement among the new Lungmen recruits to Tallulah."

Ott’s cold but fair words may have been the “trigger” for their yearning.

And if those old members of the Integration Movement in the re-education center who had "inexplicably" put aside their hostility and started working hard to fight the enemy were stimulated by this group of prisoners and picked up their hostility again... then they would be caught in one fell swoop.

Regardless, Meteorite's team was able to efficiently get back to dusting.

To be honest, Ott himself also thought that this action was somewhat abstract:

He himself could not immediately understand the behavior of these Integration Movement elders based on intuition and experience, although he was able to build models for various groups after research and further analyze their inner thoughts.

However, this kind of research is unlikely to produce accurate predictions for a small group like Nine, who are "people within Longmen who joined the Reunion because of Tallulah's ideas."

At present, a more reliable guess is that what this group of people yearn for is Talulah’s ideal of fighting for the poor, or a world where the infected hold their heads high... In short, it is not Black Snake who is now inciting hatred and tyranny among the rogue infected.

"Doc Otter." The little rabbit took Otter's hand, tilting her head, with a gentle maternal look in her eyes: "It's okay."
