People are in the Ark, I am the mastermind behind them

On the road trampled by the inner guards, dark footprints were formed, and ink-colored snowflakes slowly fell, falling on the shoulders of each infected person, hot and cold.

He was finally close, like a natural disaster approaching the city.

After Lin He approached, he regretted a little.These people were dressed in rags and did not even have the most basic clothing to keep out the cold. What was even worse was that there were more or less traces of the Origin Stone on their bodies.

According to Lin He's judgment, he was wearing the official uniform of the Ursus Empire. He could not be sure which one it was, and the group of people in front of him were undoubtedly infected.

The infected people of Ursus are naturally fearful and hate the minions of Ursus.

Lin He took a deep breath and forced his fast-running brain to calm down.

"Hiss...hu..."

Without any time to think more, Lin He walked forward slowly and made his own judgment.

"...the smell of blood"

From the very beginning, Lin He smelled the strong smell of blood, and he wanted to use the panic emotions of these infected people to create fear and awe.

Not far away from him, Eta's pupils shrank slightly, and he subconsciously lowered his head and looked at the sheathed long knife.

This inner guard has something on his mind. Does he want to execute him first?

He didn't dare to answer, he was just silent, they were just silent.

Lin He raised his head and looked at everyone, but those infected did not even have the courage to look at the masks, and they lowered their heads in awe.

Fear is in the air.

"Where are you going?"

In Eta's sight, a substantial black aura spread from the tall black figure. Fear struck the heart of every infected person without reservation, bending their spines little by little.

Ita knew very well that the inner guard was not asking, this was a precursor to hunting, this was a precursor to death.

"We...are innocent"

He tried his best to control his fear and squeezed out these words through his teeth.

An existence like the inner guard would never act specifically for a small role like his. My group was just unlucky enough to be bumped into by him.

Whether he surrenders to the local garrison or surrenders now, it is better than being killed by the internal guards.

The dark figure was silent for a long time, and then he spoke again.

"So, where is this place?"

Thick black air filled the air from Lin He's body, twisted and terrifying, and the only sound in the snowy field was the howling of the wind.

This group of infected people closed their mouths tightly, and a look of despair appeared on their faces.

The inner guard knows better than anyone what kind of place this is.

This is Ursus, a huge empire, and every infected person’s nightmare.

This inner guard is reminding them that this is Ursus, and Ursus will never let go of any infected person.

Lin He could feel the fear everywhere in the air. He knew that he had done it. He had frightened these infected people with his uniform and some small verbal inducements.

But this is not enough.

He will scatter them.

So, the dark inner guard stretched out his hand and slowly grasped the scarlet saber at his waist.

His movements were so slow, but the infected people had no doubt that the knife would cut open their internal organs and cut off their mouths and noses in an instant.

The most fearful person is Eta, the leader.

The tall man began to breathe rapidly, as if his throat was being strangled.He clenched his fists and stared at the inner guard in front of him.

The blood began to flow backward in his brain, and the blood vessels were opened. Fear had eaten into his soul and swallowed up his reason.

Before he degenerates into a lonely ghost, he still has a choice.

"I am guilty, I...repent"

The rusty long knife pierced the owner's heart, blood sprayed on the ground, and the dying man showed a relieved smile.

He did not have the courage to face the terrifying methods of the internal guards, and did not have the courage to experience the rumored bloody criminal law, so he chose to commit suicide.

The fishy smell spreads, and the fear spreads.

At the same time, the remaining infected people opened their legs, like frightened snow rabbits, and fled towards the depths of the snowfield in a chaotic manner.

There was no time to think about the direction or whether they could survive. They just tried their best to escape.

Fear followed them closely, like a shadow.

Lin He's emotions fluctuated. Looking at the man's body, he fell into a brief panic and confusion. But soon, the dark breath spread, turning fear into food, and he returned to calm.

He glanced at the corpse coldly, then stepped over.

Moving forward, he finally saw the source of the bloody smell.Behind the tall pine trees, there is a piece of red snow, and an infected person is lying on the ground.

One thigh was missing, and one arm was severed. White bones could be seen in the hideous wound, and the blood had almost dried up and no longer flowed from the wound.The gray-haired girl raised her head with difficulty to identify the things in front of her.

After vaguely seeing the dark uniform, the girl realized that it was not the reinforcements she expected, but another executioner, and she showed a desperate look.

"I am also infected"

"Let's do it..."

Not far away from her, Lin He ignored the girl. His eyes were attracted by something even more peculiar.

An illusory interface appeared in front of Lin He. It was the Arknights control interface he was familiar with.

[New CG has been unlocked and collection rewards will be distributed]

In that CG interface, Lin He saw this picture:

The Empire's sharp blade held the handle with his hand, and the power of the demon expanded and spread behind him, easily wrapping up the infected person in front of him.

In the picture, those infected appear small and humble, their faces are distorted and their eyes are empty. The whole picture seems to be a depressing sacrifice in the Middle Ages.The inner guard is the knife, and the infected are the sacrifices that will be ravaged and broken.

Chapter 3: Destiny is rewritten here

The dark snow was falling, the cold wind was biting, and in the distant sky and earth, only that ink-like figure remained.

After experiencing a brief period of confusion, Lin He took back his divergent consciousness and turned to the gray-haired woman again.

According to common sense, Lin He did not think she could survive.She has lost too much blood, and massive blood loss can lead to organ failure. In the wilderness where medical supplies are scarce, this is undoubtedly an incurable disease.

"You seem to be...in some trouble"

Lin He walked forward slowly and covered Alina from the falling snow. He thought this was an act of kindness.

But in Alina's sight, what she saw was not like that.Excessive blood loss had made her consciousness no longer so clear. She saw the dark snow falling, she saw the evil spirit entrenched behind the tall figure, and saw his boiling sin and malice.

"trouble?"

Alina chewed the word carefully, she felt it was extremely ironic.

"Yes, in the eyes of people like you, the lives of us infected people are as worthless as grass, like reeds on the roadside, which will be easily swallowed up by sporadic flames."

"But what about you? You are in the same group as those masters. You exploit civilians and expel the infected. You never understand the price an ordinary person has to pay in order to survive on this land."

Lin He nodded. He didn't want to argue, he just listened quietly.

As an old player, he knew that the tone of this land was not beautiful, and blood and fire were unavoidable topics.

When a person is about to die, his words are also good.Lin He really wanted to hear those voices that were buried and could not be transmitted.

The imperial blade lowered its head, as if listening to a chant.

"The fate of the infected is so bad, but we can't resist those illusory things. I don't believe it."

The gray-haired girl turned her head with difficulty and looked at the empty basket held in her right hand.

"Sometimes, we fight but get nothing..."

She felt that her body was so cold, and the snowflakes falling from the sky were so hot.

Lin He bent down, picked up an apple discarded by the infected, and put it into the basket.

"At least, your path is not wrong."

he said softly

Alina shrank, her thoughts going away little by little.

"I don't know if my path...is the right one"

"But Tallu pulled her, and her path still needs to be corrected."

However, it seemed that he could no longer accompany her.

There was a hazy layer of mist covering Alina's dark blue eyes, whether it was because of sadness or regret.

In the girl's sight, the dark shadow knelt down, level with him, and he slowly stretched out his hand.

Is he going to strangle himself?Alina doesn't know.

At least, he was somewhat different from the minions of Ursus. He was willing to listen to the ravings of his dying man.

So, the gray-haired girl closed her eyes as if resigned to her fate.

A hand gently touched her hair and stroked her forehead.

"Live"

A majestic yet gentle voice sounded in the girl's ears, like a command and a blessing.

Alina felt that her consciousness was so heavy. She could no longer feel the pain and could no longer hear her heartbeat. Only the blurry black shadow still stayed in front of her.

Severe excessive blood loss caused the body's organs to continue to fail, eventually pushing Alina to inevitable death.

However, something unexpected happened to change this fate.

A blood-colored luster emerged from Lin He's hand. It was the Sarkaz Origin Stone skill that was too ancient to be attached. It began to activate the cells in Alina's body, warmed her body, and tried its best to reverse the situation where the lamp was exhausted. .

It was not until just now that Lin He finally got the reward given to him by the terminal.

[Rhodes Island Operator Skill Selection Ticket]

No matter how you look at it, among the many powerful and beautiful skills, Warfarin's skill [Unstable Plasma] is not the best choice, but Lin He still chose it.

The white-haired girl with antlers, the infected person in the snow, and the dying person who was worried about Tallulah. When this series of information was revealed, Lin He finally knew the identity of the girl.

She is the political commissar behind the integration movement, a close friend of Tallulah, and an important factor in restricting the resurrection of the immortal black snake, Alina.

Whether it is out of respect for the idealist or to be able to influence the development of the plot in the future, Alina cannot die.

After seeing that the girl's condition had improved, Lin He stretched out his hand, carried her on his back, and walked away.

He knew very well that if he did not use the Origin Stone skills to extend Alina's life, but simply left her in a guerrilla camp with a lack of supplies and professional doctors, the only thing waiting for Alina would still be death.

And with the intervention of Lin He, an unstable factor, some accidents are happening.

On the ground burned by the wildfire, stood a young girl. Her expression was sad, and her eyes were as arrogant and angry as a monarch.

Opposite her, two infected people in ragged clothes were tremblingly begging for mercy. They knelt down under Tallulah's pressure, as if they could survive in this way.

"What did you... do to Alina?"

Tallulah stepped forward slowly, each step sparking new flames in the snow.

The panicked infected people looked at each other, knowing that this was their last chance.

"Lord Tallulah, we really just robbed that woman of some food because we were too hungry. We didn't do anything else!"

Tallulah's apricot-brown eyes revealed unconcealed disgust and anger. She grabbed the two people's wrists, then exerted a slight force, and heard the sound of bones cracking.

"If you dare to lie again, I will break your bones."

The undisguised murderous intent swept through the two people's consciousness, making them give up their sophistry.

"It's all... Boss Ita did it! He felt that just grabbing the food was not enough, so he chopped Alina with a knife and cut off her hands and feet."

The stronger infected person spoke first. He wanted to exchange this information for his life.

Tallulah stood there, looking at the blood on the clothes of the two infected people, and felt that those little red spots were so dazzling.

After becoming an infected person, this was the first time she encountered something that she could not understand using her own values.

"You...you can obviously let Alina go. She is just an ordinary person, an infected person like you."
