Damn it.
Before time travel, Valentin liked the game Arknights very much, so he clearly remembered the time when the Integration Movement captured Chernobog, December 1096.
But it is now 1094, and it will take two years before the true face of the integration movement will appear in the world's sight. To all countries, the current integration movement is a very harmless thing that operates in the shadows and has never shown its face. HIV-infected support organizations.
…
Humans and animals are harmless.
When Valentin watched the Integration Movement capture such a large city in the game, he felt something was wrong. Where did so many people come from? Where did they get these weapons? A city as big as Chernobogno doesn’t even have an army?
Especially the weapons that appear in the game, such as the Dragon, the Royal 4, the Explosive Bird, the Spell Crossbow... These are not what an ordinary civil organization should have at all. The Integration Movement is a complete terrorist organization.
And they definitely have support behind them.
Just like now, how do they know this is the database of Thor Industries? How can they be sure that this database has what they want? How do they know that someone will come to take away this data today?
This was a premeditated ambush.
Maybe the database behind them contains the manufacturing data of a certain weapon, and someone revealed it to the Integration Movement and asked them to get it.
"Don't worry, this is also in the plan." Alexander held the big sword in a defensive posture to comfort the two newcomers behind him.
"Hiss—" Shanmao leaned against a broken wall, covering his shoulders and gasped: "The part about me being blown away by them was no longer part of the plan."
"That can only mean that you have regressed. Do you still want to continue? Even if you survive this vote, what about the next one?"
In this severe situation, Alexander could still mock the Bobcats a few times.
For these veterans who are nearly forty years old, they may be in their prime due to their rich experience, but their reaction ability has indeed dropped a lot compared with young people. Mercenaries are a profession that relies on age, and they should retire long ago.
Wouldn't it be better to just stay in the city and find other safe jobs? The situation of infected people in Colombia is relatively good compared to other countries, although it will be closely monitored...
But at least they can live in the city this way, and they have done too many dirty jobs. If they don't retire, who knows which mission they will die in.
"Gan! After this job, you can retire and go home to have a baby!"
It seemed that Alexander's taunting had an effect. Bobcat instantly changed his dissatisfied attitude, picked up the crossbow and pointed it at the enemy outside.
"That's right. If I have a chance, I'll take you to that little girl's concert. Her songs are very nice and clean. Maybe they can purify your mind from thinking about fighting and killing all day long." Alexander Laughed.
“I only listen to heavy metal!”
The old members of the Black Gloves team were talking and laughing in the enemy's circle, but Valentine broke into a cold sweat when he heard it.
There are a bunch of flags... There are so many people looking at you across the way. Their number is more than ten times ours. You are not nervous at all and you are still discussing about going home to have a baby and attend an idol concert?
Boss, don't you feel ashamed that you still like a little girl's song at such an old age?
Valentin felt that if he hadn't had a tragic enough past, he would have been so scared that he would have hugged Xing Yihuang and called his mother.
But there are still normal people in the team. Valeria knocked on the shield to attract the attention of Alexander and Lynx: "Can you two be more serious and see how scared the newcomers are?"
The two horse ears on her head were twitching, making Valentine want to go up and stroke them.
Alexander and Shanmao turned to look at the two newcomers at the end of the team. Xing Yihuang had a calm expression on his face, seemingly not paying attention to the enemy not far away. Valentin stood beside her, looking at Looking at Valeria's horse ears in a daze.
The two of them looked at each other and said at the same time: "I think... the newcomer's psychological quality is good."
Valeria glanced at Valentin, then at the smiling Alexander, and rolled her eyes.
After being together for a long time, she got used to these unreliable guys. At least their unreliability was backed up by strength, otherwise they would have died on the battlefield.
"Hey! Brother over there!" A voice came from the direction of the integrated movement. Alexander followed the sound and saw a guy wearing a hood and a red scarf. A section of the scarf was embroidered with a white double helix logo, which looked particularly conspicuous.
"I also heard your conversation. In fact, I didn't mean any harm. As long as you hand over those data, I guarantee that each of you can leave safely."
This red scarf seemed to be the leader of the group. When he spoke, he pulled down his hood, revealing the Originium crystal on his face.
"As an infected person, I envy you. At least you still have family." He squatted on a collapsed high-rise building and looked down at Alexander, with a smile on his lips. "Remuneration and life, I think you should know which is more important."
"Heh." Alexander snorted coldly. "What does the bobcat's injury count for?"
"You mean that sniper?" Red Scarf pointed at Bobcat. "He is a risk and we have to do this for absolute safety."
"If you want those data, we can communicate first." Alexander sneered. "But you injured my team members first, there is nothing left to discuss."
"Hey, hey, hey, don't get excited, brother." Red Scarf waved his hand: "We didn't mean any harm at first. Think about it for a moment, if you found a secret sentry in the wilderness who didn't know whether it was an enemy or a friend, what would you do? ? Are you waiting for him to find out and report him?"
"The lynx is injured. If he had reacted slower, he would have died in the explosion, but he did not attack you." Alexander gritted his teeth.
"So there's nothing to talk about?"
The leader of the integration movement stood up. His bright red scarf reflected a dazzling red light in the sun, and he looked like he was full of blood.
"Last chance, hand over the data, I will spare your lives, or you will die here."
Alexander raised the great sword in his hand, leaned it on his shoulder, and made an offensive gesture.
"Is this your answer?" Red Scarf put on his hood again, his eyes cold.
"attack."
——————Red Knife Brother Beer————————
Ding ding ding——
Countless crossbow arrows hit Valeria's shield, making a crisp sound. The moment Red Scarf gave the order to attack, Alexander and others hid in the bunker. Valeria put the shield up at the entrance to prevent any fish that slipped through the net from shooting in.
The purpose of this mission is to take away data rather than fight. If there is a chance to avoid the station, Alexander will not swing his sword. He didn't want to fight these guys who called themselves the "Integration Movement" at all, as that would only cause meaningless casualties.
He didn't feel sympathy for these homeless people, but there were only six of them, two of them were still novices, and Alexander was really worried about something unexpected happening.
Damn it, why is this mission so weird?
How could a mere task of collecting data be so well-rewarded? Why are these “integration movements” here? They seem to know that someone will come and take away the data today?
Claudel will carefully analyze the missions that require the use of infected mercenaries and hand them over to the appropriate team, and no more than three teams will be dispatched at the same time. So why will all members be dispatched this time? And it was so urgent that he even asked him to go out with two newcomers. Aren't you afraid of ruining the sign?
Alexander couldn't figure out the answers to these questions. He could only roughly guess that the chaos within Black Steel International had begun again, and unfortunately his boss was involved. They were the reason for Claudel's dismissal. .
It's really time to retire.
Even if you don't want to retreat, someone will ask you to retreat, but it's hard to say how you will retreat.
Putting all the questions in his mind aside, Alexander began to think about how to break out. As long as they can leave here safely, they can not only save their lives from the integration movement, but also have a reason to stay away from Black Steel International and avoid becoming victims of the next power struggle.
"There are too many of them. It's difficult for us to rush out." He took out his PAD and called up the three-dimensional image around the database.
This was information gained from the initial use of drones to explore the ruined environment, and now it comes in handy.
"The environment here is too favorable to them. If we want to rush forward, we must withstand their arrows. Unless each of us has a shield, we will inevitably be attacked from the side when we break out."
Thor Industries' database is underground, and they are hiding inside at this time. Outside the cave entrance is a fan-shaped ramp diagonally upwards. The integration movement has surrounded the entire ramp exit, so the chance of success from the front is extremely small.
"Isis, Siren, Dragon, you go and collect the Originium bombs just placed here. We are going to break out through a hole in the other wall." After quickly scanning the 3D model, Alexander quickly A breakout plan was determined.
"Then why not let the dragon open another hole?" Valentine raised his hand.
"It will be fine if she can control the force accurately. Can you guarantee that one punch will open a path and the ruins will not collapse?" Alexander looked at Xing Yihuang. "One wall has been destroyed."
Xing Yihuang shook his head. She was indeed very powerful, but she couldn't do it if the power was concentrated in a single area and exploded.
With the strength she used to open the way, even if there was a way out with just one punch, the building would be shaken down.
Soon, a pile of bombs appeared in front of Alexander. Alexander picked up a bomb and wandered around the basement, swiping the PAD while looking at every corner.
Originally, he wanted to finish the work quickly and drive away from this strange place, but he didn't think about using explosives to blast a way out, because it would take time to find the weak points of the structure. But now that his team is trapped here, there is no need to save these explosives. Set a time to blow up the entire building and let this database say goodbye to the sun forever.
Soon, he found the weak point of the building.
boom!
An explosion sounded at the door. Valeria resisted the shield and did not retreat after all, but her body swayed and her protective clothing was covered with dust.
"Hurry up! They're starting to use explosives! A few more and I won't be able to withstand it!" Valeria yelled, holding up her shield. She looked like she had just come out of a sandstorm.
Valentin looked at Valeria at the entrance of the cave, and his eyes were quickly attracted by her pony tail.
"Although this world is dangerous, girls are still pretty." Valentin mentally gave a thumbs up to Valeria's fluffy tail and pert butt.
"Are you interested in this girl who is 10 years older than you?" The system's voice sounded in his mind for a long time.
"This body is 20 years old, and Valeria is only 30 years old. I think it's okay."
"A few days ago you said you were a lolita control, and now you're interested in other people's protrusions. What are you controlling?"
"I used to think I liked flat and petite lolita, and then I fell in love with Sanwu's cool temperament and Yujie's sexy figure. It wasn't until just now that I realized that I'm not controlling, I'm just lustful."
After a brief thought, this little dragon man, who had no sense of crisis at all, made an LSP summary.
"Incisive." The system applauded.
"A prize, a prize, a prize." Valentin chuckled.
"I have never seen such a shameless person!"
"Found it." Alexander put away the PAD and placed an Originium bomb on a beam on the basement roof.
"Two minutes..." He pressed the button on the bomb and set the time.
"The next step is precise blasting." Alexander glued the remaining bombs to the wall and carefully connected them together.
"Are you okay?" Valeria's voice came again, accompanied by several explosions.
"Okay!" Alexander motioned for everyone to stay away and pressed the detonation button in his hand. After several muffled sounds, a large amount of dust rose up and rushed towards the Black Gloves team as if they were alive. Amid a fit of coughing, they finally saw hope of escape.
Alexander clenched the sword in his hand and walked out of the cave with the lynx. Their eyes were like sharp swords sweeping over the outside environment, moving slowly back to back, and not even the sound of breathing could be heard in the communication channel.
"There's no one outside, you can come out now!"
After carefully observing the surrounding environment, Bobcat put down the crossbow in his hand, turned around and waved to the team members who were still in the basement. Just as he turned around and raised his arms, a black shadow suddenly appeared above the bobcat.
No one saw where he appeared from. Valentine only saw him wearing a black windbreaker and the sharp sword at his wrist.
"Be careful!" Valentine ran towards him, the staff in his hand lit up with blue light, and the medical spell was ready.
When the blade of the hidden sword was still five centimeters away from the Bobcat's head, a big sword was slapped on the black figure's body. Red blood streaks shot out, and the black figure was slapped on the ground like a rag. There was a splash of dust.
But that's not the end of it. The shadows hidden in the ruins seemed to come alive and rushed towards Alexander and Bobcat outside. The cloaks on their bodies absorbed the glare, making them frighteningly dark, but the daggers in their hands were particularly dazzling.
"Siren!" Looking at more and more formation breakers in front of him, Alexander waved his sword and knocked down several enemies who had rushed to him, shouting for support.
"Turn on the switch next to the headphones!" This sentence was meant for everyone to hear. Valentin reached out and touched the earphones. Sure enough, he touched a bump, and then pressed it decisively.
Pink notes instantly surrounded him.
? ? ?
At this critical moment, the boss asks us to listen to Kong’s song?
Valentine feels that the song he should listen to most now is called Cool Moonlight.
But they weren't cold. At the same time as Sora's song sounded, these sudden formation breakers stopped suddenly. The first few people didn't even stop the car and fell to the ground.
They did not stand up because of the pain, but lay down and slowly twisted their bodies, with smaller and smaller movements, as if they were about to fall asleep. The same is true for those formation breakers who are still standing. Their steps are swaying and their bodies are swaying, as if they will fall to the ground with just a slight push and close their eyes forever.
Valentin took away the earphones slightly, raised his ears and listened carefully. A strange singing sound floated slowly into his ear canal.
The song was desolate, long-lasting, and extremely attractive. Valentine felt his whole body relax. Countless seawater poured out from his side, lifting him up and slowly sinking, slowly immersing himself in his spirit. Transformed into endless sleepiness.
The dry desert in front of me disappeared, replaced by a faint blue light. His whole body sank into the sea water, and his body was as light as a fallen leaf in autumn, slowly falling downwards. There was no breathing discomfort, no surprise, and no pain. At this time, besides sleepiness, what spread in Valentine's body was unimaginable softness and comfort.
All he wanted now was to close his eyes, have a good sleep, and immerse himself in the blue dream and never wake up again.
"Wake up!"
But just when he was about to experience the infinite dream, a thick arm suddenly appeared, pulling him out of the sea and bringing him back to reality.
Valentine shook his head and felt a terrible headache.
"How is this going?"
"That's why I asked you to turn on the headphones. Sora's singing will cover up the fatal sound," Alexander breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Valentin regaining consciousness. "What you just accidentally heard was the song of the sirens. This sound will make people fall into a deep sleep and then die in their sleep."
"Remember, you do what I say and don't do unnecessary things. Do you understand?" Alexander looked serious.
"Oh...ok." Valentin nodded solemnly, feeling scared for a while.
The consequences of seeking death are real death, and he has learned his lesson.
In addition, if it weren't for this singing, Valentine would have almost forgotten that there is a team member named "Siren" in their team. There is no way, this girl hasn't said a word since the mission started, her presence is too low.
"I'll be at the front, Valeria at the back, and hurry up before they react!" Alexander quickly made arrangements. The bomb in the basement also exploded at this time, and the entire ground shook because the load-bearing beams were destroyed. Due to the explosion, countless rocks smashed into the basement, smashing all the servers into electronic waste.
When Red Scarf discovered the escaping Black Gloves team, apart from the unconscious ambush soldiers lying on the ground, they could only see a few back figures in the distance.
Looking at those galloping guys, Red Scarf showed a sinister smile.
————————It’s an obvious ambush, but that’s all it can do————————
Valentine felt like he was going to die again, only this time it was real.
The high-speed rotating sawtooth was only one centimeter away from his head, and he could even clearly see the inscription on the sawtooth disk. The rotating saw teeth brought the roar of death, and he felt that he was really hopeless this time.
But as a time traveler, there will always be great luck blessing him. Before anyone could react, a shield hit the saw blade of the chainsaw, and the roar of death was abruptly blocked.
That's Valeria's shield.
But this shield did not completely protect Valentine. A red light hit his back directly. Valentine's vision went dark and he fainted.
"You can really run, you scum." A familiar voice sounded behind Valentine.
The man supported the unconscious Valentine and slowly placed him on the ground. A bright red scarf was particularly eye-catching.
Alexander narrowed his eyes, shook away the enemies around him, and stood in front of the red scarf.
"I didn't expect so many people to stop you. Your fighting power is indeed overestimated." The red scarf wiped his hands and slowly took out the knife hanging from his waist.
He slowly raised the knife and pointed it at Alexander in front of him. The blade of the knife was as clear as water, reflecting the red scarf's blood-filled eyes.
"Now, you have no way to escape."
"Hand over the data and leave, or else."
A dark red sword energy shot out, shattering an Originium bush next to Alexander and his party.
"die."
What was before them was already a dead end.
