Boris and Sergei / Finalizing the Rescue Plan

Suika naturally found a seat and habitually took out her Ibuki Gourd. Upon seeing Hellagur's gaze, she shook it somewhat sheepishly.

"Want some?"

Hellagur shook his head. "Alcohol affects my judgment. What exactly do you mean by the problems in Chernobog?"

He wasn't surprised by the presence of eyes around him, after all, he was both an Infected and an experienced soldier.

It would be strange if Ursus really didn't have any spies around him.

After all, the Patriot is among the Infected outside. If they were to disregard everything and send their own people to join him, who knows how much power they could raise? The military would probably go crazy.

Seeing Hellagur's serious expression, Suika stopped interrupting.

"Catastrophe Cloud has appeared in Chernobog's direction of travel. Based on my judgment, there is a high probability that a new Catastrophe will be generated, and if Chernobog does not change course, it will plunge headlong into the Catastrophe."

After she finished speaking, she looked up at Hellagur, who showed the surprised expression she had expected.

"Although I don't feel the need to explain to you, I don't like being questioned."

After saying that, Suika revealed a symbol, and upon seeing that symbol Hellagur's pupils contracted again.

Because that symbol represents Catastrophe Messenger.

Perhaps the Catastrophe Messenger might have problems with other things, but no one would doubt a Catastrophe Messenger's judgment of the Catastrophe.

After all, those who doubted the Catastrophe Messenger mostly died in the Catastrophe themselves. After so many years of lessons, there are no longer any stubborn fools like that.

But he found it absurd; where were the Catastrophe Messenger of Ursus?

If Chernobog is heading straight for the Catastrophe, the official Catastrophe Messenger of Ursus couldn't possibly be unaware of it.

He looked at Suika, puzzled, then Suika's next words sent chills down his spine.

"Chernobog wasn't on its usual course; to be precise, if it had, this Catastrophe might have just grazed past it."

"How is that possible!" Suika's meaning was clear: Ursus was not unaware of this matter; on the contrary, he had known about the Catastrophe here for a long time.

But upon learning of this, Chernobog didn't avoid it; instead, he charged headlong into it.

The most crucial point is that the authorities have not released any information whatsoever about this; it's nothing short of a brutal and inhumane murder.

Although Hellagur went from being a general admired by thousands to an Infected despised by everyone, he was once a soldier, a soldier who took it upon himself to protect his country. Hearing this, he felt as if his entire worldview had been shattered.

"How dare they do this to Chernobog, a city with so many people and a major military stronghold in the east?"

Although he felt in his heart that what the girl in front of him said was true, that was precisely why he dared not believe it.

Have the Ursus leadership gone mad? They've actually let a major military town and its inhabitants be sent into the Catastrophe.

"Asking me is useless; I can't give you an answer..." Although she knew the truth, Suika couldn't tell the person in front of her.

Hellagur stood up and looked outside with a determined gaze.

Are you planning to ask those people?

Do you think you can ask that question, or that you can walk out of here alive after asking it?

Suika's words made Hellagur feel as if he had been slammed to the ground by reality.

Such a big thing couldn't have been done by people at the bottom. He simply couldn't believe that no one at the top was involved.

But if the higher-ups so easily send an entire city into Catastrophe, what do they consider these people, and what do they consider the army and their faith?

The thought of this caused Hellagur a sharp pain in his chest.

"There's no way Chernobog will be caught in Catastrophe, and with this weather outside... there's not even a chance to escape," Suika continued, her voice dripping with pain.

"Then what's the point of telling me all this?" Hellagur's face was extremely ugly.

"Catastrophe are dangerous, but not entirely unavoidable. After all, Chernobog is a military fortress, so its defenses are certainly sufficient. I can't save everyone, so I can only try my best to save those I can..."

Suika looked at the communicator in her hand, which displayed a message from Amiya.

She had previously informed Amiya about the Catastrophe, and Amiya said it was no problem because they were almost at Chernobog.

Even if this news gets out now, it won't affect their entry into the city.

Just as Hellagur was about to say something, Suika stood up. "You have guests, I'll take my leave..."

After saying that, she turned into smoke with a bang and disappeared from the room.

A dozen seconds later, there was a knock on the door, and then Hellagur looked up to see several patients cautiously peering in from the doorway.

"What's up?"

"You've been here for a while and there's been no movement. The people at the clinic are worried, so they sent us to check on you."

The leader said in a low voice.

Hellagur stood up

"Arrange for people to purchase large quantities of food and medicine as quickly as possible."

Although everything that had just happened sounded absurd, Hellagur decided to trust Suika.

If no Catastrophe occurs, these supplies can be considered as having been purchased in advance and will not have any impact. However, if a natural disaster does occur, these supplies will be a lifeline.

Chapter 408 Boris and Sergei

When Suika left, she didn't consider whether Hellagur would listen to her side of the story.

Because regardless of whether it happens or not, the Asalez Clinic itself prepares various supplies and medicines. It's just that after receiving the news from Suika, he can prepare these things more quickly, so that he won't be helpless when Catastrophe strikes.

She had originally planned to wait for Amiya at the safe house, but on the way she discovered several well-concealed convoys entering the noble district she had previously discovered.

Driven by curiosity, she changed direction and flew over.

Following these vehicles, we arrived at a manor that looked extremely luxurious.

I saw two people chatting around a corner.

"Congressman Sergei, our plan has come to this point, there's no turning back. Give me the Secret Key!"

One of the men extended his hand to the other.

"But if we do that, then we..." The other person hesitated, appearing indecisive.

"What, you think you're a loyal member of Chernobog, unwilling to betray this city?"

Stop joking, Sergei.

You and I are the same!

If you were truly a warrior, you wouldn't have betrayed the research institute in the first place.

We now only have one path to follow, otherwise, once the news gets out...

"You and I will be torn to shreds by the people here."

The first person slapped the second person across the face, then grabbed the second person by the collar, pulled them in front of him, and hissed angrily in a low voice.

"Alright, Boris. But you must promise me that you will secure a title for me from Grand Duke Baikal."

The man spat out a mouthful of blood before speaking in a disheveled manner.

"Of course, I think it's impossible for you to go any further in the current situation."

But once Chernobog's fall to the Great Yan becomes a fait accompli, then no matter how much the young emperor opposes it, we will have enough reason to send troops.

We are heroes as long as war breaks out.

Titles, honors, women, wealth—all these things will be within my grasp...

Upon seeing that the latter was willing to hand over the Secret Key, the former's expression immediately softened. He even politely reached out to straighten the latter's collar, showing no trace of the fierce look he had just had, as if he were about to devour the other person.

After overhearing their conversation Suika was not far away, felt like vomiting.

No one can make betrayal sound so noble and respectable.

From their conversation, Suika had already guessed their identities.

The former should be Boris, the mayor of Chernobog, as mentioned in the intelligence report.

The latter is Misha and Alex's father, Sergei, the old man from the research institute who betrayed the institute, ultimately causing his wife's death and leaving his two children separated from him.

Fortunately, both of them had "happy" endings in the story they knew.

The former, along with the segment that had separated prematurely in an attempt to escape, became ruins, while the latter was found by Alex and killed together with Lyudmila, a descendant of another victim—a case of filial piety between father and son.

Now that the two of them are in front of her, Suika starts thinking about how to deal with them.

Even though Suika isn't from Ursus and has a bad relationship with the Ursus authorities, she still thinks these two bastards are extremely wicked for what they've done.

After all, even the Sarkaz Bloodfiend wouldn't do something like sacrificing the people of his own city as "sacrifices" to pave the way for his own future.

Even if a certain Dukale doesn't give Suika a good impression, at least the Blood Demon Lord wouldn't choose to betray his own people.

As the saying goes, evil breeds courage.

Thinking about what these two had done, Suika felt that letting them live was too good for them.

With that thought in mind, she suddenly appeared behind Boris and, before he could react, grabbed his head and slammed it against the wall.

The next second, Boris's head was embedded directly in the hole, and half of his neck was pulled out. He looked so dead that even the entire Rhodes Island medical team couldn't save him.

Sergei looked at the man who had just been painting a rosy picture of them, promising them high positions after the war, and the next second his head was a gruesome pile of flesh. He wanted to scream, but fear prevented him from making a sound.

Suika then punched him in the stomach, and he stared wide-eyed, letting out two "hoarse" sounds before collapsing to the ground.

Suika had originally planned to kill them both.

But as he was about to act, he thought that if both of them died here, others would know that someone had infiltrated this place and learned about its inhabitants.

But if only one dies and the other goes missing, they will assume that the former was killed by the latter.

Whether the latter has the ability to shove the former's head into the wall is not something they need to consider.

After all, this is a world where Originium Arts are practiced, and when in doubt, one can always attribute it to Originium Arts. Of course, if the opponent is the Sarkaz, it could also be their ancient sorcery.

Of the two, Boris is of no use to Suika, but Sergei is different; he has the Secret Key to the Chernobog Center.

That's why the Suika killed Boris, leaving Sergei.

If she could rescue Doctor before the Catastrophe struck, she wouldn't mind helping the ordinary people of Chernobog as well.

As for whether saving Chernobog would cause the Ursus Student Self-Governing Group's Winter General and his group to become two parallel lines with Rhodes Island, she wouldn't care at all.

If she were to stand by and watch all this disaster happen just to get them to join Rhodes Island, then Suika wouldn't be Suika.

Carrying the unconscious Sergei, Suika transformed into mist and carried him all the way back to the safe house.

After arriving at the safe house Amiya and her group were making final plans with Scout and his group.

The main reason is that the Sarcophagus where the Doctor is located is in the center of Chernobog, and several reconnaissance missions have revealed numerous traces of Ursus army patrols there.

In other words, there is a very high chance that they will run into Ursus's army on their way to and from rescuing the Doctor.

In Chernobog, engaging the Ursus army in a direct confrontation would undoubtedly be a very unwise move.

So they were struggling with how to complete the rescue operation without anyone noticing.

Just then, Suika carried in an unconscious person.

"What's this?" Amiya was about to call a medical operator to check on the situation but was stopped by Suika, so she was a little confused. If it wasn't to save someone, why would Suika risk her life to bring him back?

Suika pointed to Sergei was still unconscious, and said...

"This guy's name is Sergei, a former employee of the Chernobog Institute, an expert on the secrets of the Sarcophagus, and one of the holders of the core Secret Key to Chernobog."

After hearing Suika's explanation, many people's eyes lit up, as if they had thought of a way to divert the attention of the Ursus army.

Chapter 409 Perfecting the Rescue Plan

Suika looked at Scout

"I believe you can get the Secret Key out of him."

Then remember to try your best to save his life.

Scout nodded; it wasn't a problem for him.

As an intelligence operative, obtaining sufficient information by capturing prisoners and quickly extracting the necessary intelligence from them is an essential part of his training.

He just didn't understand what the second sentence meant.

Do you remember Misha and Alex, the brother and sister?

This old man is their father...
