Deep Sea Hunter, but Deep Sea Titan

“Mr. Nautilus, this is probably one of the reasons why you are willing to help Rhodes Island.”

"You know that the guy who played the savior in Chernobog is a shameless fraud."

The doctor didn't press Loting with questions like "Why didn't you say so sooner?" because she would have found it hard to believe if such information hadn't come from the enemy commander.

"good."

Maintaining a global teleportation point, accepting more tithes, and punishing traitors he despises are all reasons why Lotin helps Rhodes Island.

This is also why Lotin isn't fond of Kal'tsit.

Many of her statements are a mixture of truth and falsehood, and many of her actions in Terra's long history are shrouded in suspicion.

This revered doctor, Kal'tsit, was not always right. Her historical image has always been one of fickleness.

The deep-sea titans watched her, waiting for her to reap the bitter fruits of her actions.

"You want to save her?"

"She's going to die?"

"She'll die."

Lotin calmly returned to the doctor's question.

“A terminally ill infected person can easily burn through their own energy.”

"The results can be imagined."

Lotin's responsibility is simply to crush Rhodes Island's enemies, as part of the agreement, and he will show no mercy if he encounters this enemy commander on the battlefield.

Unless the PhD is willing to pay more.

“It’s not a question of whether I want to or not, but whether I can or not, Mr. Nautilus.”

The doctor glanced at Amiya, who was standing silently beside him.

In Amiya's view, Rhodes Island does not want to have unnecessary conflicts with anyone.

She made it clear from the ruins of Chernobog that Rhodes Island did not want to be enemies with the Yeti Squad, who were not considered thugs.

This young leader of Rhodes Island did not want a warrior with whom he could understand each other to end up fighting each other.

"Then let's go check out the slums of Lungmen before things get too bad."

The giant's eyes focused on the doctor's face, but he didn't explain why he had to go.

He didn't need to explain further.

The doctor will go; she definitely will.

Moreover, Lotin offered the doctor a possible hope.

"Doctor, should we inform Dr. Kal'tsit about this operation?"

Amiya had no reason to refuse.

"No need. Our ordinary Rhodes Island operators are unlikely to be effective against her, and doing so would only harm them."

"This is my personal decision, and Rhodes Island should not be held responsible for it."

From the beginning, the Doctor only planned to bring resources and operators to the operation.

Before talking to Wei Yanwu, Kal'tsit warned her to "distinguish between friend and foe," but in the end, Kal'tsit left the judgment to her.

"Thank you for your guidance, Mr. Nautilus."

The Doctor put on his hood, turned around, and entered the Rhodes Island ship with Amiya.

She did not seek additional help from herself in this matter.

Why did you say these things to that woman?

Laurentina rubbed her sleepy eyes, waking up from a peaceful nap.

The dream was peaceful, and everything was perfect except for the appearance of an annoying hooded woman at the end.

"Just tell her what's going to happen."

"Perhaps she would be willing to pay more tithes because of this?"

The mechanisms on the waterway differ from those of the settlements connected by the waterway.

On the shipping route, the system accepts only one coin per voyage. This is a lottery opportunity that can be obtained repeatedly.

In settlements and allies connected by shipping routes, the system only allows you to receive coins if you are actually "in distress".

It seems that the only way to obtain fragments of the legendary skin 【Astronaut】 is through the Doctor's tithe.

Is the system trying to get him to turn the PhD into a useless person?

I'm afraid it might turn into a situation like "Doraemon, help me" in the future.

Creating a useless person is too extreme, but making PhDs "repeat customers" shouldn't be a big problem.

But if he does that, won't that Originium Ghost cause him trouble?

"hope so."

Laurentina was always a compromise; she didn't reject her blood relative, but she became wary of this hooded woman of unknown origin.

"I hope that's all there is to it."

Skadi muttered a quiet agreement.

Elite operator "Huan", an elite Rhodes Island operator who fights by burning the scorching air, was the first to express her support for the Doctor's actions. She also personally participated in the joint excavation of the Doctor and Frostnova in the ruins of Chernobog.

Then, witnessing Greythroat's purge by Lungmen's secret armed forces in Lungmen City, and seeing her join the fight, the Doctor roughly understood the meaning of Lotte's "Don't be too late."

If Lungmen's secret forces were to slaughter the people Frostnova was escorting and the Yeti squad she led, given Frostnova's personality, she would certainly launch a desperate battle, preparing to sacrifice herself to test Rhodes Island.

As for Amiya, she sided with the Doctor from the very beginning.

As for "Nautilus," the Doctor knew very well that he had revealed this information to her in order to wait for her to provide more tribute.

The doctor had to admit that she might still need his strength, and at least for now, she didn't want to rely too much on this still enigmatic partner.

Their primary mission is to rescue Frostnova's Yeti squad from the secret armed force of Lungmen, and the opportunity has been presented to the Doctor. This way, there's still a chance to salvage the situation.

As for what means she intends to use to salvage a tragedy that is utterly devastating to her, the choice is hers.

Chapter 49: Want to Get Something for Free Without Inserting Coins?

Like any city in Lungmen and Terra, behind every beautiful and clean urban area lies a festering wound, a wound often the result of the cities' own actions during their development.

Infected individuals unable to enter the inner city of Lungmen gathered here, turning it into a crowded and crumbling vertical city. Shacks and prefabricated houses spread and multiplied on the skeleton of the shifting land. Poverty was the defining characteristic of this place, and crime was a complication of poverty.

This became the breakthrough point for the Reunion Movement's infiltration. Therefore, Wei Yanwu entrusted the "Rat King" to divert the infected people in the slums and then send out the Shadow Guard to cleanse them.

In reality, the vast majority of innocent infected people were secretly protected by "Rat King" and others. Wei Yanwu was fully aware of this, which is why he sent Lin Yuxia to command the Shadow Guards in order to screen and identify the traitors who colluded with the Integration Movement.

This is much more humane than the Originium garrison in Hill County, which indiscriminately throws Originium dirty bombs at civilians. After all, Wei Yanwu wouldn't plow the entire city and all its citizens with Originium dirty bombs just to vent his hatred, although innocent people still die from the slaughter.

In the crisis of Longmen, Wei Yanwu also brought it upon himself; in the development of Longmen, they were the sacrifices.

To be precise, it was a betrayal that led to another betrayal in retaliation. Those who were sacrificed in the development of Lungmen launched their revenge, from refusing to allow Lungmen officials to enter and refusing to pay taxes, to colluding with the Reunion Movement.

Luo Ting was not interested in Wei Yanwu's and his niece's family affairs.

Lotin can give these people a chance if they are willing to pay a tithe and spread the fame of the Deep Sea Titans; Lotin can guarantee they will leave Lungmen alive.

They will be spared, but they will also be banished; they are not innocent.

The deep-sea titans never offer free aid to those in distress; even the residents of Hillshire respectfully offer a tithe.

To some extent, Lotin's style of handling matters has a very obvious element of order and neutrality.

Since Rhodes Island's main ship is connected to Lungmen, Rhodes Island could theoretically receive a tithe from the Lungmen.

The Yeti squad was doing their best to cover the unarmed infected, and in their frantic running, they did not notice that a gem on a green base was shining brightly in the window of a high, suspended shed.

They are escorting the remnants of the Phantom Crossbowmen, as well as the pursued Phantom Crossbowmen and Lungmen infected civilians. They have lost their will to fight and are trying their best to escape Lungmen.

"You can't escape."

In a window of a narrow corridor, Sister Agor, with white hair and red eyes, is smiling as she watches the fleeing Yeti squad.

Skadi's condition is not very stable right now, and Lotin is worried about letting her go too far alone, so he entrusted the task of placing guards to Laurentina.

She's quite skilled at pretending to be a ghost or spirit, so having her do this kind of deception is a perfect fit for her.

"who is it?"

The Yeti team stopped and looked warily at Sister Agor who had appeared before them.

"It's that Agor the Chainsaw Killer!"

"Where is that brass ghost? Her presence here, doesn't that mean...?"

The remnants of the Phantom Crossbowmen immediately recognized this terrifying opponent.

"Nautilus has no intention of hunting you down."

“But you are clearly not within His protection.”

“By paying a tithe, Nautilus will ensure that the unarmed survivors leave Lungmen alive.”

Sister Agor made a prayer gesture, as kind and gentle as a true nun. Light streamed into the dimly lit hallway through the window, enveloping her in a hazy glow.

As a combat unit of the Reunion Movement, the Yeti Squad are soldiers, not civilians. If they want to obtain protection, they need to meet other conditions, such as the Doctor of Rhodes Island being willing to offer more tithes.

Of course, Lotin believed that the Doctor from Rhodes Island would most likely seek his help, so having Laurentina place wards was a way of making preparations in advance.

When Wei Yanwu probed him from the drone, Luo Ting, relying on his understanding of the plot, deduced that Wei Yanwu had sent his secret armed forces to secretly observe him.

However, he later canceled his shadow guards' surveillance of Luo Ting for some reason, probably because he confirmed something from the information in the Mountain and Sea Scroll.

Currently, it is the reconnaissance guards deployed by Laurentina who are observing the movements of these black-clad men. They are still in the stage of hunting down Reunion Movement deserters.

A single gold coin is not a cheap price to pay for the infected in these slums, some of whom are even poorer than the Tara workers in Little Hill County.

“I told you, even the Yeti Squad is no match for those Black Man in the Cloak. You will die, and your commander will die too.”

"Those seemingly innocent infected civilians you're escorting will also die."

"You may be legends among the infected, but those black-clad men could kill you as easily as crushing ants."

"A single gold coin can be minted in sufficient quantities by any country."

Sister Agor chuckled and held up her finger to make a "1".

"If the minting is insufficient, it is not unacceptable to make up the difference with one's life."

"He can defeat the Reunion Movement's offensive, and he can also stop those black-clad men."

She knew, of course, that she had to show sincerity to get the infected people in Lungmen to believe her.

To show her sincerity, Laurentina has already informed them of several of the safest and most efficient escape routes free of charge, and some of them have indeed managed to escape using these routes.

Laurentina sighed. Many of the fleeing Lungmen Infected rejected her offer, even though they knew that the bronze giant had never hunted down any Infected civilians.

He simply crushed the Reunion Movement's soldiers on the battlefield.

This is the difference between Lungmen and Hill County. Not all Reunion Movement forces treat civilians as cannon fodder like Deeppool does, as is the case in the original story.

In particular, the infected guerrillas trained by "Patriots" and members of the Reunion Movement have led many infected civilians to believe in the Reunion Movement, and its troops are even willing to sacrifice themselves to protect infected civilians.

"Let's head this way, it's the most logical route."

Laurentina pointed to a passage on one side, which was indeed a safe and efficient route she had scouted out.

Even if a group of wandering infected could scrape together a single gold coin, Lotin would have offered them a helping hand, but they refused; the prestige of the Reunion Movement remained firmly in their hearts.

Lotin, who attacked the Reunion Movement on the battlefield, will find it difficult to regain their trust. In their hearts, the Reunion Movement remains the banner of the Infected.

Talulah's methods are more sophisticated than Deeppool's. She hasn't torn off her disguise yet. Even if Lotin knows the plot, it's hard to convince these people. Only the painful lessons of blood can tell them that the Reunion Movement is not what it was when it was first born.

Given the current situation, Loting also expressed that he could not help them, as they were unwilling to pay tithes to him.

Lotin might act out of hatred for traitors, but he would not help those in distress who refuse to pay their tithes.

Since these not-so-innocent Lungmen infected are unwilling to pay a tithe to the Deep Sea Titan, then let's wait for the Doctor to pray for his power once again.
