Arknights strategy guide, from entry to hatchet

Chapter 5 Those are my beloved relatives and friends, so I need to pay more!

That evening, on Eighth Street in Lower City.

Compared to Fifth Avenue, where the middle class gathers, the scene in this lower-class civilian residential area is much bleaker. Dirty water flows across the street and debris accumulates. Even though Ursus has entered winter, the stench can still be smelled high into the sky.

Adults with withered and sad faces were walking hurriedly through the streets covered with various graffiti. In the dark and damp alleys nearby, you could still see shivering beggars in ragged clothes, sitting in front of burning iron barrels. Keep warm.

Jiu, who had long been accustomed to this kind of scene, drove to the end of the street, got out of the car and moved out a few large boxes.

Snapped!

The mottled door opened with a creak, and two sturdy and tall Ursus thugs threw the unconscious drunk man far away. When Queen Nine nodded slightly, they gave way to the door.

"Thank you for your hard work!" Jiu rummaged through the box and threw out two bottles wrapped in paper bags, which immediately made the other person smile and help her move the heavy box into the door.

The interior is a huge space that looks like a farmer's market, with countless vendors, merchants and hooded customers walking around, in stark contrast to the bleak and deserted space outside.

However, despite the bustling scene, not a single merchant shouted loudly. Most of them stood there with their hands folded, vigilantly inspecting everyone who passed by, and their conversations were kept as low as possible.

Here is the largest black market in Chernobog.

Where there is demand, there is a market. The quantity of those in-demand consumer goods flowing into the city through normal channels is simply not able to meet the needs of citizens, so such an underground market came into being.

Even though the Ursus military and police knew that there was such a place, they chose to turn a blind eye because of the huge tribute sent to them every month, and even went so far as to sell it in some hidden shops in the black market. Some standard equipment "obsolete" by the military and police are sold at high prices.

Jiu moved the box and walked straight into a bar.

Of course, it is impossible to collect much useful information from just one flower shop. The information obtained through casual chats among the government clerks who sell flowers to their girlfriends is too fragmentary and can at most serve as a reference.

Relying on her experience in fighting crime in Longmen, she easily found the largest black market in the area and successfully established a relationship with it. She secretly collected various intelligence by doing some matchmaking work among middlemen.

"These are the new goods just delivered today, sixteen bottles of Colombian brandy, twenty bottles of Victoria whiskey, and the rest are the low-alcohol fruit wine I made myself." Jiu piled the boxes on the bar and said to the boss.

"Hiss, why does it still smell like flowers and fat? Remember to wash it off next time!" The boss did not rush to order the goods, but pointed to the secret door next to him, "Mikhail is waiting for you in the private room."

Jiu nodded without a trace and walked in.

Swish!

As soon as they entered the door, several drinkers stood up nervously, with their hands already on their weapons. It was not until Jiu took off his cloak that he finally breathed a sigh of relief and continued to talk quietly to himself.

"Why, even old Ivan has been absorbed by you?" Looking at the black crystals unique to infected people on the drinkers around him and the Integration Movement logo on the wall, Jiu raised his eyebrows and asked playfully.

The integration movement spread extremely quickly among the infected people in Qicheng. Even if they did not join it, many people had heard of their name.

The bar owner is willing to offer up an entire room, so he has obviously been recruited to become one of them.

It has to be said that for these infected people who are hiding in Tibet and suffering persecution, the slogan "fighting for the right to survive for the infected people" is indeed very attractive.

"That's because Mr. Ivan understands the righteousness and is willing to join our big family and contribute his own strength to the infected compatriots." The young man sipped the strong drink and stared at Jiu with a burning gaze, "Just Just like what you did Miss Vanya.”

"No, no, no, no, I'm just a person who gets paid to do things. Don't think of me as being so noble." Jiu quickly waved his hand, trying to act like most infected people, interested in the integration movement, but in a different situation. Keep a distance and wait and see.

"The leader once said that everything we do is to strive for hope for the infected. Even if you are paid to do things, you will still contribute to the future of the infected." Mikhail's eyes flashed with longing. , said with an excited tone.

"What kind of person is your leader?" Jiu took the opportunity to ask.

"Then we'll have to wait until you join the integration movement and gradually understand it!" Mikhail smiled and did not intend to continue to reveal more information. "Okay, let's talk about business. It's the same thing we entrusted you with last time. pieces."

"Please give me a little more time. Oriosis inhibitors are not like smuggling spirits. It can be done with a little relationship. Those people are also afraid of getting into trouble." Jiuye knew that if they continued to talk, it would just be all kinds of amway, so he didn't No longer bothering to get information, but pretending to be silent as much as possible to whet the other party's appetite.

But what she said is also true. Based on Ursus's attitude towards infected people, such drugs are usually strictly controlled and are very rare and in short supply on the black market.

Once these drugs are discovered, it means collusion with infected people. Even the military and police who are obsessed with making money do not want to get into any trouble.

"I know this request is a bit too much, but the compatriots on the tundra cannot wait that long. If these ore disease inhibitors cannot be delivered before the snowstorm, many compatriots will not be able to survive." Mikhail's tone was a little low. .

"If you are really anxious, I have a way, but it may be a bit dangerous." Jiu looked at the emotions and finally came up with the idea, "I know a Victorian nobleman who came to travel, and he plans to drive to the tundra alone. Watching the aurora at the northern end, maybe we can make a fuss about it."

"You mean, we can hide things on his vehicle?" Mikhail immediately thought of something and felt a little moved.

Nobles, even nobles from other countries, still have great convenience in Ursus, especially nobles from a powerful country like Victoria. The military and police have no time to curry favor. Who would think that a noble from another country can compete with the infected people who are entrenched in the local area? Is there any discord between them?

Not to mention that the gentleman's destination was to cross the home base of the Integration Movement. This courier was extremely considerate.

"But..." Jiu's conversation suddenly changed, with a hesitant look on his face.

"What?" Hearing this, Mikhail's heart tightened.

"...That gentleman has been my pen pal for many years, and he trusts me very much. I feel really bad about using him to do such a dangerous thing." Jiu held his forehead and said sadly, "Even if it's just a headache It’s a real person for once, but it’s not an exaggeration to say it’s a beloved relative or friend, so get! Extra! Money!”

"No problem, but I confirm that the noble gentleman is capable of taking the medicine out." Upon hearing this, Mikhail's last worry disappeared.

After all, what happened was too coincidental, and this batch of drugs was too precious, so he had to be more cautious and guess whether Jiu was controlled by the Ursus authorities and used this as an opportunity to seize the life-saving drugs from these infected people. thing.

If that were the case, Jiu wouldn't bother asking for extra money.

As for the unlucky courier, Mikhail didn't take it seriously. After all, the Integration Movement was not a bandit or kidnapper. After getting the medicine, he could only be detained for a while.

To put it bluntly, even if this is really a scheming, how much trouble can a foreign noble under guard make?

Chapter 6 Not running away, but approaching

A few days later, the northwest tundra of Ursus.

A rugged off-road vehicle was driving hard on a muddy road.

In fact, given the level of infrastructure in Ursus, these are tracks made by land craft and mobile cities. They are worse than the dirt roads in Longmen Wasteland. Their only purpose is to inform the driver that he has not deviated from the route and is following the path. You can always encounter settlements or mobile cities as you walk along.

The driver was very incompetent and turned up the car audio to the maximum, playing the classic Usasi song "Cyka Blyat" repeatedly, even overpowering the roar of the engine working at full capacity.

There is no way, this is what traveling alone is like, facing a long period of loneliness, you have to find something to pass the time.

According to Qin Xiaolang's original plan, he only needed to pretend to be traveling and wander around the uninhabited tundra before returning to Longmen and reporting the information about the integration movement cadres to Wei Yanwu.

However, Jiu didn't know this. After confirming that Qin Xiaolang was competent enough, she began to think about how to let Qin Xiaolang come into contact with the integration movement smoothly without arousing the other party's suspicion.

Soon, she remembered Mikhail, the spy of the integration movement. He had been worried about delivering the ore disease medicine some time ago, so she suggested using Qin Xiaolang as a "mule".

After learning about Jiu's arrangement, Qin Xiaolang was a little bit dumbfounded. What was originally a month-long public-funded trip to Ursus turned into a real lurking and spying.

All I can say is that it is not a good thing if the liaison person is too competent.

There is no need to worry about safety.

The integration movement at this time is not the terrifying organization that Sister Tazi has completely turned into black, driven by hatred and violence. At least the members will not shout and kill ordinary people when they see them.

Moreover, these drugs are extremely precious to the infected. This is the first time that the integration movement has made real gains since it penetrated to the south. As long as there is nothing wrong with Sister Tazi's mind, she will definitely send someone she trusts and is reliable to deal with it. .

This first eliminated the young Meicai Braised Pork and Faust, as well as the brittle little guy who didn't know whether to join the integration movement at this time. The remaining people were more or less reasonable and allowed him to display his characteristics as a social cow.

According to the route map provided by Jiu, the most likely place for the integration movement to appear is in a grand canyon dozens of kilometers away. There are no villages or shops there, and therefore there are no pickets or military outposts.

As a result, the plan could not keep up with the changes. This year's snowstorm season came extremely early, and the originally scheduled three-day trip actually took more than five days.

Perhaps the integration movement ambushing him was anxious, but he himself was also extremely anxious.

Especially when he was used to seeing the same snow scenes on the tundra. After the initial novelty, the temperature dropped drastically as he entered the north. Qin Xiaolang deeply experienced the power of General Winter and General Mu.

It seems that the only fun is watching the Split Beast and Originium Hound baring their teeth in the distance.

Seeing that it was getting darker and darker and the wind and snow were getting heavier, Qin Xiaolang knew that he would not be able to reach his destination today. He couldn't help but let out a long sigh and found a sheltered location to park and camp.

The bonfire was beeping. Qin Xiaolang was eating compressed biscuits and porridge made from corn, waiting for the freshly brought animal meat to be roasted. Suddenly he felt a sense of peeping, and there were shadowy figures in the pine forest in the distance. Something is approaching.

He was not surprised but overjoyed. He suppressed his excitement and almost went to meet her.

Dear relatives, you are finally here!

I miss you so much!

------------------------------

A few dozen meters away from Qin Xiaolang's camp, a group of combatants wearing white robes and carrying crossbows and swords were using the howling wind and snow as cover to quickly approach him.

"Hiss, big bear, it smells so good!" One of the young boys swallowed and looked at Qin Xiaolang with envy.

To be precise, it was the food in his hand.

"Yes, yes, I didn't expect this young man's skills to be quite good. The barbecue oil is sizzling and shiny. It must be better than Petrova's skills... Ouch!" His companion was echoing, and suddenly let out a low voice.

"Be serious, eldest sister has specifically told you before that this is probably a trap. You must be very careful during the operation!" A woman retracted her words and said in a low voice, "And how can you two smell it from such a distance? Could it be that he suddenly became Pero?"

But when she turned around and saw Qin Xiaolang sprinkling cumin on the barbecue, she couldn't help but lick her lips, as if she could smell the alluring smell in her nose.

Click!

And as the crispy skin of the barbecue was cut open with a knife, the crisp sound actually passed through the wind and snow.

Tallulah seemed to have said that this is called empathy. Is this guy's craftsmanship really that much better than mine?The girl tightened her belt to suppress the hunger caused by the delicious food, and thought angrily at the same time.

"Sorry, I stepped on a branch!" A crossbowman who came from the forest touched the back of his head in embarrassment, "I have confirmed that there are no signs of picket activity around."

"The eldest sister also said that she will be responsible for monitoring the nearest picket stronghold, but we have not received any news of their dispatch. In this case, let's start taking action quickly!" The man named Daxiong rubbed his palms, somewhat impatiently said.

"Remember, you must pay attention to the timing of your attacks later, as long as you can control him quickly." Petrova warned with a serious look, "Especially you, you are not allowed to steal other people's barbecue."

Although the local nobles in Ursus did not have any good impressions of this group due to their actions, what would happen if Qin Xiaolang were misunderstood as a robber if he went there rashly, causing Qin Xiaolang to drive away directly or rush into the wind and snow? That's serious.

Needless to say, they themselves would not forgive themselves for the former, but if the latter was the case, then Qin Xiaolang would definitely be in trouble in the wilderness, and would inevitably be scolded by his eldest sister and father.

They are the right-hand men that the eldest sister is proud of, and they are not executioners who take pleasure in killing people. They do not want to harm Qin Xiaolang.

After a brief discussion, it was decided that Petrova and the boy would pretend to be siblings and take the initiative to say hello and attract Qin Xiaolang's attention so that the other companions could complete the siege.

"Sir, please don't be afraid. We are villagers from a nearby settlement. Because the wind and snow are too heavy, we want to find a place to take shelter." Petrova put away her weapons, took off her hood, spread her hands and walked into the light of the bonfire. within the range.

"You...ah!" The plate in Qin Xiaolang's hand fell to the ground with a clang, he pointed at Petrova and stuttered, and then exclaimed.

"It's broken. His clothes must have been exposed. He has been to many settlements before, and he must have heard about the characteristics of snow monsters!" Big Bear secretly thought it was bad, and turned around and said, "Andre, prepare the tranquilizing arrows!"

"No, that young master seemed to be charging towards Yang Ge and the others!" Hearing this, the crossbowman who was about to cock his weapon widened his eyes in shock.

ha?

The big bear was stunned and immediately drew out his long knife.

He knew clearly that they were snow monsters, but instead of trying to escape, he approached them. Is it really a trap?

"Great, we finally met a living person!" A cheer in the Usas language came from the camp.

Oh, it turned out to be a fool who went crazy after being alone for too long, so that’s okay.

Chapter 7 How big is this heart?

In the early morning, a picket position is located on the tundra.

"*Usas expletive*, this damn weather!"

The guard wearing a gas mask sneezed and secretly cursed himself for being so unlucky to be sent to a new outpost so far away. There were only a few small villages with a population of less than a hundred nearby, and there was no money to be made.

Fortunately, it is relatively close to the south, so there is no need to worry about meeting those rebellious infected people. If all the bastards left behind die, there will be no one to compete with him for the Moulin Rouge girl.

He comforted himself silently, and his thoughts gradually drifted to the fragrant and soft women in the city.

"Go back. The enemy has been silent. This means that Big Bear is safe there!" A few hundred meters away from the checkpoint, a snow bag suddenly made a sound, and then a group of infected people in white robes, using their protective colors, retreated to the stronghold in an orderly manner for surveillance. outside the range.

If the guard saw this scene, he would probably be so frightened that he would urinate on the spot. The Yeti team, which was feared on the tundra, was actually only a hundred meters away from him.

The leader was a Carters girl. She shook the snow off her coat, took off her hood to reveal her long silver hair, and her long ears that had been suppressed for a long time and finally jumped up.

The princess of the snow monsters and leader of the integrated movement——Frost Star!

"Great. With this batch of medicine, Miliya and Xisk may be able to survive this winter!" A snow monster couldn't hide the smile on his face, not worrying that his companions would miss. "Maybe Talu La’s idea is right, we should get out of the tundra and head south!”

Frost Star was noncommittal and fell into deep thought.

Even though the team has continued to grow over the years, and they have repeatedly fought off pickets and even regular armies. They have been promoted by the Ursus authorities as thugs who commit murder and arson, but in the end they are just a group of resisters who cannot survive.

Look at the scratched shield in the hand of the companion. This thing will be broken at any time in the next attack. It should obviously be hung on the wall of the living room as a witness to the glory of its owner, instead of continuing to take it to the battlefield with a life-threatening expectation. It will last longer.

But even this kind of equipment can attract the envious eyes of ordinary soldiers, who don't even have decent weapons.

Thinking about the well-trained and well-equipped Ursus regular army with sufficient logistical supplies, the infected had already tried their best just to repel the team that was just going through the motions.

This land (1/1) has never been gentle to the infected. The main reason why they can survive is that the value of the tundra to Ursus is limited.

Even though the current situation is much better than in the past, the rich mineral deposits contained in the ground cannot be used as food. Without enough arable land and external support, the infected people in the tundra are destined to be unable to develop and grow.

And this time the penetration into the south has begun to bear fruit. The ore disease inhibitor, which is extremely scarce on the tundra, oh, it should be said that it does not exist at all, was successfully delivered here through the hands of compatriots in the city.

If we can really take the opportunity to shift the focus of development to the south, perhaps it won't be long before food, equipment and medicine will no longer be constraints.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to observe the movements of the picket team a few days ago, Shuangxing also carefully confirmed that the defense of the checkpoint here was not very tight. He took advantage of the impact of winter wind, snow and natural disasters on communications to quietly erase these Not difficult.
