Breaking Through and Evacuating / Ursus's Secret Weapon

Furthermore, they are unwilling to align themselves with the Ursus military and need to maintain Ursus's control over Chernobog as much as possible.

Only in this way can we prevent the city from falling into chaos due to the lack of armed forces after rescuing you."

The older brother, ACE, spoke up.

If it weren't for Amiya's wishful thinking, Rhodes Island would have already taken the Doctor out of the Sarcophagus.

Amiya smiled apologetically at this.

"I'm sorry, I've troubled everyone."

"However, Doctor is right, our next evacuation plan is a big problem."

According to the information I have gathered, the Ursus Third Army Group has received word that it appears to be moving ahead in the direction we are heading.

Furthermore, another High-Speed Battleship has also begun to move here.

Raidian walked over to the map, pointed to a location, and said...

Upon seeing the direction she was pointing, the expressions on the faces of those present immediately turned rather unpleasant.

This is because this is the location where Chernobog is planned to stop after escaping the Catastrophe.

After all, if the city is to evacuate, it certainly cannot open its gates while it is moving.

As for the idea of relying on two legs instead of vehicles, no one even considered it.

After all, if you don't use vehicles, the military on the other side won't.

Moreover, the other side has vehicles, drones, and High-Speed Battleship.

Without a vehicle, you'd be a sitting duck in the wild.

However, stopping in Chernobog ahead of time is impossible, since Rhodes Island is already at a very extreme location according to the usual Catastrophe avoidance plans for cities.

If we get too close, Chernobog could very well be swept up in the Catastrophe again.

Rhodes Island's only advantage right now is that the enemy is in the open while they are in the dark, and according to the plan, the city will stop at night, so they still have some room to maneuver.

So they started discussing their next steps.

The Doctor, who was very interested in Suika, secretly came to the side and asked Ace about Suika.

After all, all he can do now is act as a commander, but a commander's biggest mistake is not understanding the strength of the various cards in his hand.

A day later, Amiya and her group looked at the gloomy sky above them, their expressions turning serious.

This means that Catastrophe has befallen Chernobog.

Fortunately, there was a very clear dividing line in the sky not far ahead.

That was the area affected by the Catastrophe, and Chernobog was moving its massive body in that direction.

Because of the prior announcement, many people knew what the dark clouds overhead represented.

Many people choose to take refuge in safe houses before Catastrophe strike.

Even those who hadn't entered the safe house looked up anxiously at the dark clouds in the sky.

A loud roar followed.

The Catastrophe officially struck over Chernobog.

The entire Rhodes Island team donned masks and protective suits, watching warily as Originium rained down from the sky.

After these Originium fall to the ground, they react with Originium particles in the surrounding air and then rapidly aggregate into huge crystals.

If Suika saw this scene, she would say that it was exactly the same as the effect of Originium Bomb exploding.

Although Originium Bomb are called bombs, their damage mechanism is not blasting, but rather the formation of a high-concentration Originium dust area after the explosion.

These Originium particles will condense on surrounding objects and form a large number of Originium Crystals.

If there are living organisms within the affected area...

Chapter 415 Breakthrough and Evacuation

"Is this Catastrophe?"

Doctor's eyes were filled with shock.

Although he has lost some of his memories, he still knows the basics; otherwise, he would be the fool who keeps saying "Aba aba," not someone who could be trusted and take over the command position.

But the Catastrophe before him also greatly shocked him.

After all, the mysterious, magnificent, and chilling Originium had grown from the size of an infant's fist to about a meter in less than ten breaths after falling into a place it did not want to be placed, and it seemed to have the tendency to continue to expand.

"Doctor, don't get too close. These newly generated Originium are very unstable."

Just as he subconsciously tried to approach the Originium, he was pulled back by ACE.

"I'm sorry..." The Doctor nodded apologetically and looked outside.

"This Catastrophe will likely cause severe damage to the city."

Hearing Doctor's words, ACE sighed.

"We spread news about the Catastrophe in the city two weeks in advance; hopefully it will be effective."

"It will definitely work." Amiya's voice came from behind. The two turned around and saw Amiya walking towards them from a short distance away.

"Based on Raidian and Scout's assessment, the city should be able to escape the Catastrophe zone in about an hour and a half."

Hearing her words, ACE breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's great. With this Catastrophe looming over our heads, it feels like we can't even breathe properly."

As the group chatted, Chernobog, carrying the burden of the Catastrophe, roared and charged out of the Catastrophe's range towards the setting sun.

"Is that all?" Doctor asked Ace beside him, watching the sky turn from dark to golden.

ACE shook his head. "Of course not. We just broke out of the initial range of the Catastrophe, and Catastrophe can move and spread."

So the city must continue to move forward.

Moreover, some of the vehicles we had prepared were destroyed in the Catastrophe, and we must replenish them before evacuating."

Even though Rhodes Island had made preparations for Catastrophe are still Catastrophe, and no matter how much preparation is made, unexpected things can still happen.

Two of the vehicles they had prepared for evacuation were damaged.

Fortunately, Chernobog is not small, and as a major military town, there are quite a few vehicles in the city.

After Amiya agreed, Scout and his group, along with some skilled men, went to a nearby location to see if they could scavenge a few vehicles to facilitate the evacuation of the team.

Because Chernobog had just survived Catastrophe, both military personnel and civilians were either hiding in safe houses or deep within various rooms at that time, so Scout and his group's movements went unnoticed.

However, the damage the Catastrophe inflicted on Chernobog exceeded many people's expectations, so it took them a considerable amount of time to gather enough vehicles.

Fortunately, Rhodes Island managed to gather enough vehicles to take everyone with them just before they reached their docking point.

"After setting off from here, we headed southeast under the cover of night."

Based on previous contact with Talulah, the Reunion Movement will create a stir in the west and south to attract some people, while Logos and Rosmontis will act simultaneously in the south to create space for us.

Amiya walked to the desk and addressed the people present.

"The evacuation plan is scheduled for tonight at midnight. After Suika opens the passage, she will meet us outside. According to calculations, we must evacuate Ursus territory before dawn. However, if we are discovered, the Ursus people will definitely not let us off easily. So everyone, get plenty of rest. We may have to fight a big battle tonight."

Everyone raised their fists after hearing Amiya's words.

Once the crowd dispersed, Amiya looked at the Doctor beside her and handed him the tablet used for tactical command.

"Doctor, the battle command tonight is in your hands."

With a solemn expression, Doctor's previous annoyance and unease instantly subsided as he accepted the tablet.

He looked at the map on the tablet, along with the markings for each person, and countless tactics and plans were instantly activated in his mind.

Late at night

The moon is bright and the stars are few; crows fly south.

After traveling all day amidst Catastrophe, Chernobog temporarily halted its journey after a roar.

A dozen minutes later, an inconspicuous gate was opened, and then a dozen or so cars drove out of the city.

These cars, in a long, single file, moved silently and rapidly southeastward into the dim night, with no one's lights on.

Half an hour earlier, troops in the southwest and south of Chernobog were attacked by unidentified individuals.

The terrifying flames and eerie witchcraft left the army disoriented in the darkness.

Before they arrived, they thought they were just enemies besieging the city, but they never expected someone to stab them in the back.

Left with no other option, they had to call for backup.

The team to the southeast was one of the closest, and upon receiving news of the attack on their friendly forces, they immediately dispatched reinforcements.

This was exactly what Rhodes Island planned, giving Rhodes Island the opportunity to slip through the small opening and escape the Ursus Military's encirclement.

Three hours ago.

After Suika dealt with another military squad that had infiltrated the area, she received a message from RAIDIAN.

The other party told Suika everything about the planned timeline, how to stop at Chernobog, and how to open the gate.

Because she controlled the central core of Chernobog, even though the military outside had exhausted all means, they could only watch helplessly as she brought Chernobog to a halt.

However, it's unclear whether they've resigned themselves to their fate or have started to give up.

Suika clearly noticed that after Chernobog left the area affected by the Catastrophe, the military's desire to attack this region decreased significantly.

This gave her enough time to study the huge pile of buttons in front of her.

After successfully stopping Chernobog, she opened the door to the outside world at the perfect moment.

After watching the entire Rhodes Island group leave the city, Suika once again turned into mist and disappeared into the house, which was dilapidated and covered with various Originium crystals except for the controlled area.

The Rhodes Island team was still detected by Ursus drones five kilometers after leaving the city.

Fortunately, with about a hundred people and more than ten vehicles, they hadn't expected to have a complete chance of getting away with it.

Therefore, upon discovering that the Ursus army was catching up, they quickly organized a rapid breakthrough.

"We need to take down that surveillance drone over there in the distance, otherwise we'll have a hard time escaping if we keep it under their noses."

Doctor directed the convoy to change direction several times, but the other side caught up immediately each time.

Sensing something was wrong, he observed for a while and located the Ursus drone's position, then spoke to Scout beside him.

Scout looked in the direction he was pointing, but in the darkness, he couldn't see anything there. Even he couldn't have successfully shot down the drone hidden in the darkness with his eyes alone.

Chapter 416 Ursus's Secret Weapon

But Scout has a group of reliable teammates around him.

"Mantra!" Scout shouted at the distance, and then his vision began to change, the previously blurry sky gradually becoming clear.

Two seconds later, a glint flashed in his eyes, and he raised the weapon in his hand.

With a burst of sparks, the reconnaissance drone that had been monitoring the Rhodes Island group turned into a cloud of fire in the sky.

"This way!" After dealing with the eye in the sky, the Doctor commanded the team to turn around once again.

This time it worked; as expected, the other party didn't follow immediately after the turn.

Doctor breathed a sigh of relief, but he wasn't completely relaxed.

Because he knew that he and his group were facing a country's regular army.

The other side has more than just one or two reconnaissance aircraft.

Sure enough, the opponent quickly caught Rhodes Island by the tail once again.

However, Doctor quickly located the drone again, and Scout followed suit and shot it down once more.

After repeating this three times, Rhodes Island was about to break through the opponent's defenses.

Just then, a chilling sensation rose from the Doctor's feet. He picked up his communicator and instinctively directed the convoy to quickly change lanes and head in the other direction before it could break through.

Although they didn't understand why they needed to change lanes when they could easily break through the encirclement, everyone instinctively made the turn.

Less than ten seconds after the convoy turned, a shrill sound flew overhead, followed by a terrifying explosion not far away.

Looking at the huge crater in the ground, everyone broke out in a cold sweat.

If they hadn't turned around, those wouldn't have been just a few simple pits, but rather the corpses of their entire group.
