Inside Chernobog / The Ursus General

"But the New Reunion Movement is gone, isn't it?"

Amiya asked, puzzled.

"The New Reunion Movement is gone, but the Infected still exist, and if they need to, they can just create a new batch..."

Don't forget why Suika went to investigate.

Having dealt with the Old Nobility for so many years, Talulah has come to understand the depths of their moral failings.

There's nothing they can't give up as long as they can maintain their rule and status.

Whether Infected or ordinary people, in the eyes of these corrupt old fogies, they are all just expendable materials to extract benefits for themselves.

Amiya was utterly shocked.

Although she had learned some related things from Kal'tsit, the idea of someone disregarding the lives of others for their own benefit was still far beyond her comprehension.

She simply couldn't imagine how a person could be so evil.

"There's nothing strange about it. If you had actually seen how they tried to win over Mephisto, deliberately letting the Infected break through villages, capture civilians, and then forcibly convert them into Infected, you would know."

These guys have no moral compass.

Talulah looked at the map, her eyes filled with murderous intent.

While Amiya and her group were making preparations, Suika arrived at the edge of Chernobog.

After carefully studying the surrounding environment, she confirmed that Chernobog was indeed heading straight for the area where Catastrophe was about to occur.

The Ursus military camp had disappeared after approaching the Catastrophe, indicating that the Scourge had already discovered this situation.

But they said nothing and deliberately let Chernobog drive into the Catastrophe zone.

Suika contacted Scout in town and told him the news.

"Damn it, a bunch of bastards!"

After hearing Suika's words, even Scout, who usually has a cool and aloof demeanor, couldn't help but curse.

The news quickly reached Amiya had originally planned to have Scout spread the word.

But Talulah stopped her.

"Don't forget you came here to rescue that Doctor. If you spread the word now, the Ursus people will definitely be on guard, and you won't have a chance to enter the city."

Amiya calmed down after hearing this.

If Ursus is to go to war with the Great Yan, it seems that Chernobog is doomed.

If you want the Doctor to be safe, you must rescue Doctor before the war starts.

The only chance is now in front of us, but if the news spreads that Ursus is preparing to plunge Chernobog into the Catastrophe, Chernobog's defenses will definitely be raised several levels, regardless of the outcome.

That would mean they would lose their chance to enter the city and thus be unable to rescue Doctor.

As Amiya hesitated between saving the Doctor and saving the residents of Chernobog, Talulah patted her on the shoulder.

"This is indeed a difficult choice, so my advice is that if you are truly determined to save Chernobog, then set off immediately, reach the city before the Catastrophe strikes, and then spread the news."

"How many more can be saved is up to fate."

Talulah said that only children make choices; adults want it all.

Amiya also realized that this wasn't a game where you could only choose one of two options.

The faster they get into Chernobog, the greater their chances of spreading the news.

As for how her side would handle the situation after the news got out, Amiya didn't even consider it.

Chapter 406 Within the Chernobog

Just as Amiya made up her mind and contacted the authorities to prepare to enter the city, Suika had already arrived.

No one, including Suika, was surprised when they heard Amiya's decision from Raidian.

Given Amiya's personality, she certainly wouldn't just stand by and watch something happen here. In their eyes, the fact that she didn't immediately ask the city's agents to spread the news was already a sign of her growth.

"What's the plan next?" Suika asked Raidian.

"You can't replace Whitesmith, Mantra, and me in our work. Scouts are monitoring various parts of the city. I've heard you have a good ability to hide, and you're not Infected."

We had noticed some activity in this area before, but it's a wealthy neighborhood with tight security, so our people couldn't get in at all.

Why don't you go and find out what's going on?

RAIDIAN smiled at Suika's eager expression, as if she wanted him to do something, and pointed to an area on the edge of the city.

After hearing this, Suika looked at the map of Chernobog. The place didn't look particularly remarkable, but it was an exclusive area for the wealthy.

She recalled that before Chernobog fell, a district had fled in advance, thinking they could escape the Catastrophe. However, an accident occurred on the Lungmen Outer Ring, causing the district to shut down. The mayor of Chernobog and the fleeing people all died there.

Looking at it this way, the separated urban area must be here.

She nodded, accepted the mission, and left Rhodes Island's temporary safe house.

After stepping outside, it instantly turned into mist and disappeared before everyone's eyes.

She had originally planned to wander around as a normal person, but on her way there, she saw her own image on a wanted poster in an advertisement on a billboard in the city.

This thing is clearly the work of Old Mudfish; after all, no one else in Ursus could paint his portrait so vividly.

Suika complained about this to Raidian and his group, which made everyone in the room laugh so hard they were doubled over.

After drifting all the way to that city, Suika realized that Raidian was right; the defenses here were far stronger than in other areas.

Although it's not to the point of having sentries every three steps and guards every five steps.

However, there are checkpoints at the main entrances and exits, and all personnel and vehicles coming and going are subject to inspection.

It's fair to say that without noble status, you simply can't get into this place.

But she doesn't need to worry about that; she'll just find an empty area and float right in.

After entering, Suika looked around and then had a look of sudden realization.

Logically, the city lord here would choose this location to evacuate, and should have taken some troops with him. So why did the accident happen on the Lungmen Outer Ring?

Did Wei Yenwu really kill it without batting an eye and then dump it there?

So what about the defenses here? The soldiers? The guards?

These were the things that Suika had been wondering about before.

But after entering, she felt that the city lord's death was not unjust.

There are no defensive structures on this plot of land; various small garden villas are scattered throughout it.

And the people here didn't seem to feel any sense of crisis; many were still happily holding banquets.

Moreover, she discovered that the terrain here was slightly lower than other places, and a small river meandered through each villa area on the plot.

It's important to know that there are standards for the thickness of each plot of land, and the fact that this plot is shorter indicates that it is thinner than other areas, especially considering the presence of a thinner riverbed.

If you're unlucky and get hit by Catastrophe, other places might only suffer minor damage, but this place will most likely be severely damaged.

Given that the defensive capabilities of the land are greatly reduced once it leaves the city, it's not surprising that the people who fled early all died outside.

In the darkness, Suika picked up her camera and took several photos of the surroundings, preparing to submit them to a newspaper sometime later.

She'd even thought of a name: <Shocking! Before the Catastrophe struck Chernobog, the local nobles lived a life of debauchery. Was this a distortion of humanity or a moral decay?>

As for which newspaper to submit to?

Of course, publications like Kazimierz's "Red Wine Gazette" would be the first choice.

After all, these foreign news companies are the ones that love to expose scandals from other places.

What's more, Chernobog is a major military town, yet it stumbled into Catastrophe, which is exactly what conspiracy theorists would be thrilled about.

After taking many photos, Suika quietly left.

After leaving the area Suika didn't go straight back to the safe house, but instead wandered around the city.

She wandered aimlessly through the city, observing the lives of the people and hoping to bump into any acquaintances.

However, it seemed that luck wasn't on her side, and she didn't discover anything noteworthy until evening.

Just as she was preparing to report on the defense of Rhodes Island's safe house, a sign caught her attention— Asalez Clinic.

She stood in front of the signboard, staring at it for a long time, before finally remembering the origin of the clinic.

The Infected clinic led by General Hellagur, a handsome older man from Ursus.

Ursus does indeed exert a heavy burden of oppression on those Infected.

But there are always exceptions, such as soldiers who become Infected due to war or other accidents, or people from middle-class families or even noble families.

These people have connections or financial resources that allow them to escape the fate of becoming mere consumables in a mining operation.

Their survival naturally requires the help of some medicines, and they also need hospital treatment when they get sick.

However, regular hospitals are rarely willing to accept Infected, so hospitals specifically for Infected have emerged.

Asalez Clinic is one of them.

"Is there something you need?"

A slightly wary voice came from the clinic entrance.

Suika looked over and saw a boy who appeared to be about her age, who was watching her warily.

Suika could tell he was Infected just by looking at the black spots on his arm.

Suika pointed to a symbol below the signboard of Assalez Hospital and said...

"I was a little surprised to find a hospital for Infected in a city within Ursus."

After saying that, she prepared to leave. Although she had a good impression of Hellagur, you can't judge a book by its cover. Even if Hellagur didn't mind her being here as a wanted criminal, if someone else reported her, the Infected here would probably suffer.

Thinking of this, Suika shrugged and walked towards the road that wasn't far away.

She could sense a malevolent gaze fixed on her. If she had interacted too much with the people here, Ursus's military and police would likely arrive soon.

By pretending to be a passerby, he not only protected himself but also the place.

As she walked to the end of the street corner, she saw a tall figure in the alley behind the corner.

Chapter 407 The General of Ursus

"I saw you on the military's wanted poster."

When Suika walked over, the first thing the other person said made her pause.

However, after thinking about this person's information, Suika smiled and said...

"Why didn't that old man report me? Instead, he's waiting for me here. Are you confident you can catch me?"

"No, it's just that Chernobog has been acting strangely lately, and then there's this dangerous person like you showing up here..."

Although Hellagur was no longer a soldier of Ursus, his insight and judgment remained sharp.

Suika glanced around, then calculated the time before speaking.

"Your intuition is indeed very sharp; there is definitely something wrong with Chernobog."

After she finished speaking, she pointed to the left and right.

"Since you know I'm a wanted criminal, won't it cause problems if we just stand here and chat?"

I'm not afraid, but what about you?"

Hellagur pointed to a house not far away and then walked over.

Suika then turned and continued walking forward.

Hellagur opened the door and was about to go in, but when Immi saw the person inside, his pupils contracted.

He glanced outside, then looked back.

"No wonder the Ursus Military is willing to pay a high price to hunt you down."

Hellagur felt a pang of emotion.

Because he saw that Suika was still walking towards the other end of the street.

So who is the one inside the house?

"It's just a simple vision trick. To be honest, there are quite a few eyes around you, otherwise I wouldn't have gone to such lengths."
