"To be honest." The system's voice echoed in Valentine's mind, with a somewhat awkward tone: "I really didn't expect... it would be such a coincidence."
"The moment you go out, the Ministry of Defense officer is right in front of you."
Valentine hid behind the bunker, and several arrows flew past his scalp. There was an arrow stuck in his horn, which was a gift given to him by a defense sniper. He didn't dare to pull it out because Valentin tried it once, and then his hand was stuck. hedgehog.
Fortunately, he has now transformed into a fried chicken soldier in Call of Duty. As long as he has the breath and blood recovery method, he does not need to fear any attack at all, unless it is a fatal kind.
However, it is obvious that gun weapons are not common in this world. Valentine also remembered that the setting of Arknights also stated that gun weapons are ancient relics and are only popular in the Rutland area, so he is not worried about being shot. Lose your head.
But he couldn't run either. After the alarm sounded, Valentin ran along the escape route he had planned at the beginning, only to find that all exits were guarded by people from the Ministry of Defense. Every time he ran to a staircase, he would be greeted by a pile of crossbow arrows. Valentin panicked and finally ran to an empty office. He piled a bunch of cabinets, tables and other things in front of him to make a simple bunker, and then he shrunk inside and couldn't come out.
He was still too young. He had never experienced anything like this before. It was good that he hadn't been caught yet.
"I didn't know that those two people from the Defense Department were parked right in front of my door!" Valentin gritted his teeth and put a new magazine on the MP7.
Facts have proved that this time the system is really reliable, not only giving him a bunch of weapons and equipment, but also giving him all the unique abilities of the Call of Duty protagonist. There is now a green crosshair in his sight. The lower right corner indicates the weapon currently in use and the remaining ammunition. The upper left corner is a small map with dozens of red dots gathered at the door. It is those who have Sunday off. The officers of the Ministry of Defense who were temporarily brought to work.
"And why didn't you notice?"
Valentine felt that this was the most wrong thing.
When this system first appeared, Valentin felt that it was very powerful, but he did not expect that such omissions would occur.
"Because this situation is indeed a small probability." The system's voice sounded apologetic: "I found those Defense Department officers, but I don't believe they will come to your door just when you go out."
Then the artificial intelligence watched helplessly as its agent almost collided with his brother from the Ministry of Defense.
His processor suddenly remembered something called "Murphy's Law" on Earth.
"I'm warning you, get out of here as soon as possible. I can feel a powerful aura approaching you. As expected, it's Ceria. Then you'll have no choice but to catch her." The system took a rare moment of seriousness and gave Valentin an important intelligence.
"I want to run too, but..." Valentine took off his helmet and used the butt of the ACR to lift the helmet out of the bunker.
Nothing happened.
"Huh? These people gave up?" Valentine was shocked. He raised his head to see what was going on outside, but in his eyes he only saw a few arrows flying at high speed with silver light.
Valentine quickly shrank his head, at the cost of having another arrow on his horn.
"well."
He could even imagine the system looking down and sighing.
"You are in the world of Terra now, so don't think like an Earthling. As a Vaifan, you have two hard and long horns on your head. Does the helmet you just stretched out have horns? , these Ministry of Defense officials will definitely not be fooled."
"Ah this..."
Valentine smiled awkwardly.
His mind has not yet adapted to this new world.
"Within one minute after the alarm went off, all staff on the third floor were evacuated, and the entire floor was taken over by the Ministry of Defense. This minute is when the entire underground facility is in the most chaos. You have five opportunities to rush out. When you leave this level and reach the previous one, you can take advantage of the chaos to escape, and your chance of success will be greatly improved. I also reminded you when the opportunity arises, why don't you break out?"
Valentine was silent.
He raised his head and stared at the white walls of the office in a daze. The decoration style of this office is very similar to that of the laboratory he once stayed in, but there are many computers here, no experimental equipment, and no mad scientists.
"I know I want to escape from here, but I also know that I still have revenge to take." Valentine thought about the disgusting figure and pulled the charging handle of the MP7.
"I can feel your desire to kill Andrea, and she is indeed still on this level."
"But are you sure?"
The system's words seemed to have other meanings. Valentin just nodded without understanding the deeper meaning.
In the beginning, he wanted to kill Andrea just as much as he does now, as evidenced by the six arrows from Lenz's bow the day before. But because of the chaotic scene and the neat and tidy actions of the Defense Ministry officer Valentin when he just escaped, he no longer thought about it. He just thought about how to leave here and leave this experimental base filled with nightmares.
It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge after ten years, but he only has one life.
The equipment given to him by the system was very powerful. The MP7 and the thick body armor on Valentine, which was the same as that of the Dauntless Warrior, also made the Defense Department officers quite afraid. They basically avoided him and fired cold arrows at him from a distance.
But when Valentine was about to escape to the elevator and stairs, these Defense Department officers stood in front of him as if they were desperate, as if the intimidating power of the submachine gun had disappeared.
Facing Andrea, Valentin was able to do it because this guy really tortured him for a long time.
But facing these Defense Department officers who were just doing their jobs, Valentine put his index finger on the trigger and couldn't press it down. The result of the stalemate was that he fired a few shots at the ground to intimidate the other party, and then ran towards the next exit while they were hiding.
There are many exits to the experimental facility, and Valentine always had the idea of leaving without killing anyone. But one elevator after another was closed, and the stairwells were blocked one after another, and his heart became more and more panicked.
At this time, Valentine knew how to open the safety, how to aim, how to control the recoil and how to change ammunition.
But he didn't understand the psychology of the protagonist in the game holding a gun and killing his enemies.
Twenty years of peaceful life have smoothed the edges in Valentine's heart, making him extremely eager for peace and disgusted with war. When he was on Earth, the country he hated most was Eagle Sauce, not only because of its unreasonable and unreasonable foreign policy that was against rabbits, but also because of their deep-rooted gun culture.
Valentine loves FPS games, but in reality he hates guns.
and……
Once he shoots, he can never go back.
When he picked up these weapons, Valentin did not think of the protagonists of Shuangwen, or the chosen ones who killed and decided to take revenge. He only thought of a game called FarCry3.
He felt very similar to Jason Brody, the protagonist of that game.
They were both inexplicably put into danger, they were helpless college students who would tremble in fear when they saw dead people, they were all forced to pick up a gun and kill people while being chased by the enemy.
Killing your enemies is indeed the right thing to do, because if you don't kill them, you will die. But it is really difficult for a guy who has lived in peaceful times since he was a child and has never experienced war and has never even seen blood to shoot and kill the person standing in front of him. It is really difficult to cross this threshold.
If Valentin had been standing in front of Andrea, he would have fired, maybe even more than once.
Hatred is the best motive for killing.
But the people standing in front of him at this moment were the officers of the Ministry of Defense. They had no hatred towards Valentine and were just doing their jobs. They would not kill him, so they could disappear without blood.
Therefore, he never actually pointed his gun at these Ministry of Defense operators, but relied on warning shots to disperse them, hoping to find a way out.
but.
The officers of the Ministry of Defense were indeed the elites selected by Rheinland Life from all walks of life. They soon guessed Valentine's psychology and began to narrow the encirclement. Valentin looked at the operators who were getting closer. He still only fired warning shots, and still did not dare to point the gun at the heads of those people.
Soon a bold operator stood up. He approached Valentine with a shield held up, and an electric baton in his right hand swung at the opponent's head. Valentine was stunned. He didn't expect that his intimidation tactics would lose their effect so quickly, nor did he expect that these people would be so ruthless and just slap their heads.
At that moment, the memory replayed before his eyes like a movie. He remembered what Dr. Herrington said when he first came into this world, remembered his leaving figure, and remembered the way Andrea looked at him like a corpse. , thinking of the potion called the key.
The daily memories of the past life are like ships on the sea that gradually drift away, leaving only a vague back. Those memories of this world became increasingly clear, flashing before his eyes constantly, piercing his heart.
Finally, there was only one sentence left in Valentine's mind.
"I want to live."
This won't kill him, but he will fall into a coma again and lose the chance to leave Rhine's life.
After weighing the two, Valentine still chose to cross that threshold.
He raised the muzzle of the gun and pulled the trigger. When the scarlet liquid splashed on Valentine's face, he knew that his heart had begun to change and he couldn't stop it.
————————Change slowly, the road is still long————————
"I will help you kill that guy. But now, trouble is coming." The voice of the system echoed in Valentine's ears.
At this time, the door was still tightly surrounded. Dozens of crossbows were pointing at him, but not a single arrow was fired. Among those people, a woman wearing a translucent protective suit stood out.
Director of the Rheinland Life Defense Department, Seria.
"Meet Director Ceria again." Valentin took out a magazine from his chest pocket and put it on the ACR, turned on the safety, and spoke in a relaxed tone.
For enemies of Seria's level, he still trusted the more powerful 5.56 bullets.
Although this is just psychological comfort.
"I want to know where the guns in your hands come from." Ceria frowned slightly as she looked at the fully armed Valentine.
This is so weird. Just yesterday, after she subdued Valentine, she wanted to check the Lenz bow carefully, but before her hand touched the bow arm, the weapon disappeared in an extremely strange way, completely disappearing. Not a speck of dust was left.
But today, when she received the news that the experimental subject had escaped, she rushed to the scene as soon as possible, and what she saw was a heavily armed Valentine. This made her really believe that the key awakened Valentine and made something out of nothing. There is no source stone skill that can exist.
"I said it appeared out of thin air, do you believe it?" There was a smile on Valentin's lips, and he looked at Ceria with a mocking look in his eyes.
"I believe it." Ceria really believed it this time.
"I hope……"
"Stop, Director Ceria." Valentin stretched out his hand and made a stop gesture to interrupt Ceria. "Don't say those useless things. Today I will tell you clearly that I want to leave Rhine Life."
"But you are a patient with ore disease and you don't have identification yet." Ceria shook her head.
She could even imagine Valentine's miserable life after escaping.
"I think you, Rheinland Life, should be held responsible for the ore disease, but I'm too lazy to pursue it now." Valentin shrugged. “But it’s really troublesome to prove your identity.”
"If you are willing to stay at Rhine Life, I will give you a formal identity certificate, and I will ask the senior management for instructions to let you participate in Rhein Life's research in the form of cooperation, and you will no longer be an experimental subject like before."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked. The Defense Department officers who gathered around looked at each other and said nothing, but Valentine could see the unbelievable emotion in their eyes.
The Shield of Rhine Life, the top leader of the Ministry of Defense, the top master who had defeated the rampaging Balrog, actually lowered his profile to an experimental subject. No one would believe this kind of thing.
Although it does happen.
Valentin looked at Ceria and suddenly remembered a certain sentence from his previous life.
"Are you sure you can do this?"
"I'm sure." Ceria nodded, and Valentin seemed to be able to see the light in Ceria's eyes.
Valentine smiled slightly, his body moved forward slightly, his eyes became extremely sharp: "But, I refuse!"
"One of my favorite things as a Valentine is to say 'no' to people who think they are right!"
The air suddenly became a bit colder.
An officer from the Defense Department couldn't help laughing, but he quickly covered his mouth under the gaze of his teammate Xi Jian.
Fortunately, Ceria didn't care about these small things, otherwise he would probably have had a month's salary deducted after the Isis escape incident was over.
Valentin looked around and continued his tirade: "Do you think what I want is the medicine to suppress the infection of Originium and the legal identification? You are wrong Seria! These things are very important, but without them I can still live! As an ordinary person, you have no idea what we infected and experimental subjects want most!"
"It's equality and freedom!"
"Why did I come to Rhine Life for you to study in the first place? Not only because I needed food and shelter, but also because I had heard about the country of Colombia, which is called a country of freedom and equality!"
Yes, freedom was the word that Ying Jiang liked to say most in his previous life. Colombia in the Terra world is probably similar to Eagle Sauce, so Valentine's mouth will continue to follow that meaning.
"I left the Vaifan Alliance because of the war. I suffered a lot along the way. I also squeezed through bridge holes with many infected people to escape the war. I learned a lot about the infected people from their mouths. Among them There’s Colombia.”
"They say that Colombia is the most tolerant country for infected people in the entire Terra world. There, infected people can have their own jobs, families, and friends, and can live in the sun with normal people without being oppressed. Maybe there will be people in Colombia who will discriminate. HIV-infected people, but discrimination exists everywhere, they think it doesn’t matter, as long as they are not oppressed and can have a job to make a living, they feel satisfied, not to mention that there are more people in Colombia who sympathize with the infected people.”
"I was very happy when people from Rheinland Life found me. They told me that they could help me gain greater strength to help those patients and those infected. The most important thing is that I can go to Colombia. A place where those infected long to experience the freedom and equality they talk about earlier.”
"So here I am, here."
"But what did I experience here?"
"There is no freedom, no equality, only endless inhumane human experiments!"
"Dr. Herrington, who was in charge of me at the beginning, was very responsible. He would give me an oriosis inhibitor every week to suppress the increasingly serious ore disease in my body. He would let me hold the Originium Art Medium every day. Come and become proficient in magic."
"But later, the supply of inhibitors became less and less. Sometimes there was only one every two weeks. The intensity of the medical spells released became more and more intense, and my body began to be unable to hold on. At that time, I was still comforting myself, saying It’s no big deal, it goes by quickly.”
"I selectively ignored the strange experimental equipment and the apology in Dr. Herington's eyes. Finally one day, Dr. Herington told me the truth."
"I didn't have ore disease before I came here. It was Rhine Life that injected the Origin Stone into my body!"
Ceria frowned and said nothing. The Defense Department officers around her looked at each other, and the crossbows in their hands were a little looser.
"As for the later Dr. Andrea, she is a madman! A madman who tramples on human rights and the bottom line of scientists!"
"She forcibly injected a large amount of Originium reagent into me for research, making my life worse than death. I had to endure pain for a long time after I went back every night. That was precisely because my Originium disease worsened."
"In the end, because the progress of the experiment was stalled, she injected me with a tube of reagent called 'Key'. That tube of reagent almost killed me!"
Ceria frowned, but soon relaxed.
The existence of the "key" is also a secret. Ordinary experimenters have never heard of this code name, let alone these Ministry of Defense personnel.
But fortunately, everyone in this underground facility has signed a confidentiality agreement, and Ceria is not worried that they will reveal this information to the outside world.
Otherwise, what awaits them is not the resignation notice from the Ministry of Defense, but also the threat from the forces behind Rhine's life.
Valentin glanced at Ceria and put the ACR in his hand back on his back.
"For me, the most important thing is not identification and inhibitors, but human dignity."
"All subjects subjected to inhumane experiments at Rheinland Life are treated with human dignity."
He waved to Ceria: "Goodbye, Director Ceria. I hope I won't be so nervous when I see you next time."
Ceria wanted to say something else, but Valentin didn't give her a chance. Two M64 flash shock bombs were thrown from his hands, releasing extremely intense light and noise. Seria quickly closed her eyes, but still could not escape the fate of being hit.
In such a small space, the light emitted by the flash bomb is more dazzling than looking directly at the sun.
For enemies who are incomparable in terms of force, tactical props are always the best solution.
Bang!
After a loud noise that shook the earth, a big hole appeared on the floor of the office. The officers of the Ministry of Defense gathered around and looked down, but there was no trace of Valentine anywhere.
————————No matter what you do, first place is bullshit————————
"I didn't expect you to be quite eloquent."
"I don't know why I said so much, maybe it was because of my feelings." Valentine scratched his head and smiled shyly.
"...I believe you, do you still remember the memories before Rhine's life?"
"It's all a lie. I believe that with Serea's uprightness, she will definitely listen to it, but she just doesn't know what will happen in the future."
"After I leave, who will care about the flood?"
"But the crisis has not been resolved yet. It will only take a minute at most for Ceria to find you." The system reminded Valentin.
"I know... Could it be that I can't get out except for a head-on fight?" He knocked on the wall, thinking about whether to just use C4 to open a hole in the wall and jump out.
"This is an underground facility. Even if you blow open the wall, all you will see is reinforced concrete thick enough to resist the movement of the plates. Materials of that strength cannot be exploded by C4."
It's easy to get in, but hard to get out.
"What should we do?" Valentin went crazy. His ears had already heard the sound of many footsteps, which were the officers of the Department of Defense who were coming.
"Split your remaining C4 into two parts and blow up the wall on the left." The system began to give instructions.
Valentin asked while placing C4 against the wall: "What is this for?"
"Find you a helper."
