Verse 495: The Tragedy of the Old Days (3)

There were no incidents along the way, and Marin's face was a household name to the Northern Coalition - all the cans offered to the Northern Coalition had Marin's portrait on them.

Although it was not Marin's intention to do this as if it was Lao Gan Ma or Thirteen Fragrances, it was not Marin's intention to make this package stand up to it, and it was chosen by Faye for Marin, so when Marin appeared in front of the army's leaders, his face was much more effective than the certificate given to them by the military.

The soldiers from the lower ranks have rave reviews of Mr. Marin's canned food, even if the amount of meat is lowered for the sake of cost (which is the cost reduction required by the military, full of operations that make Marin feel delusional), for them, it is already a very remarkable thing to be able to eat meat every day - you must know that the troops of the other two kingdoms still don't even have anything from the company, only their officers can eat this, and it is not provided every day.

Hearing that Marin was going to investigate the old ruins, the soldiers marked the exact location of the ruins on Marin's map and offered a lot of help - for example, helping Marin find the headquarters of Division Commander Artyom.

This one is now promoted again - after completing the battle with Marin to kill 40,000 black orcs - the military did not want to be promoted, because the division commander and Marin were too close, and then the king of Morvis personally refuted the stupidity of the military, promoted Artyom by one level, and handed over the command of a newly recovered Wehrmacht division to Artyom.

Now he was the commander of two divisions, a position he had never dreamed of for Artyom, who was not of noble origin.

After talking to him, Marin confirmed the recent situation in the area - after the retreat of the Chaos forces, they were left with a huge battlefield, a large number of Chaos remnants turned this area into a very dangerous war zone, and now his two divisions are clearing those Chaos remnants in this area, and the ruins are even more of the hardest hit areas, out-of-control machine spirits, chaotic remnants, undead spirits from the old world who cannot be freed, and cunning and cruel xenomorph spirits...... Anyway, any mess can be found in the ruins.

"Jon, how the hell did they find that thing?" After confirming the information, Marin felt that these guys were really lucky, in this kind of troublesome ghost place, they were able to go deep into it, what did their stalkers eat and grow up, so that they could take them in and out of the ruins safely, and they were able to escape with their whole body.

After seeing the new satellite view, Jaylin said that it was a matter of luck that none of Marin's team would have been able to get to that position in another time period.

Of course, Artyom heard about Marin's situation and decided to launch an offensive on the other side of the ruins, as they were cleaning up the ruins anyway, and attacking from the east would be just right to attract out-of-control spirits and spirits from other directions of the city, and their curiosity would be able to make the remnants of Chaos vulnerable to the enemy.

As for Marin, their party can enter from the west side, get to the location where the slab is found, then go to the location Jason said earlier, find the energy core that can be used, and then head to the Vault - if there are no accidents, the Vault must be reactivated to be able to enter.

The attack was set for two o'clock in the afternoon, Artyom's artillerymen fired a base shell at the line established by the remnants of Chaos, and then the soldiers began to move, and Jason could see that the whole city was 'alive', and all kinds of spirits and runaway machines were approaching the eastern part of the city that made a noise.

As the satellite flies by, Jason flies over Marin and begins instructing Marlin's team to bypass the various xenomorph spirits and runaway spirits that they encounter unnecessarily.

"It's similar to our Ranger's animal companions, only more reliable." The Church of Justice's Substitute Punisher Team Commander was a human, and he looked at Jason as he shared the data in his eyes, like a giant land otter that had just bypassed, and this thing Marlin was not unable to defeat, but fought with a spirit about the size of a bus, for fear that it would attract more speculators.

Considering that the most important thing in stealth operations is security, being able to bypass these monsters is the best option.

Passing through a section of the street and looking at the ruins ahead, Marin replaced himself with a small airhammer pistol - a small pistol that uses compressed air to be silent, and a silver bullet that is effective against spirit bullets.

Pulling open the violet flare and throwing it into the underground passage of the ruins, Marin watched as a spirit disappeared in an instant.

"Poor dead wandering here." The halfling commander of the Church of the Goddess of Harvest drew a holy emblem on his chest.

Walking down the aisle, Marin took the hanging sconces that Lulu handed him behind him and pasted them to the wall, which used sacred oil as a burning scrub to purify the dead, hoping that the spirits would face it head-on.

The substitute punisher of the Church of Justice stepped forward, clearing the way with flares and sconces, and some of the dormant spirits were soon purified by a stupid suicide attack.

Walking through the passage, Marin was the first to walk out of the passage with his rifle, looking at the half-collapsed waiting hall in front of him, Marin glanced around: "Ciel, you take your people to jam the gate over there." โ€

"Leave it to us." The commander of the Church of Justice led his squad to the gates.

The halflings were given the task of going up to the rooftop, and they were able to help the side confirm the situation.

Then Marin came to the skeleton.

Half of its body was peeking out of its sleeping bag, presumably assassinated while asleep, and the assassin did not know what the slab left at the scene was a good thing, proving that the killer did not kill people in order to enter the Vault.

"The bones are weathered, and I think it's best not to touch them." Lulu rummaged through the side pockets of her dressing gown, picked up an arm bone, and as soon as she strained it, the bone was already shattered in her hand.

"It's at least two thousand years old, it's okay here, the ceiling is still there, and the mechanical doors on both sides of the rails are ajar, but I still wonder why the spirits in the ruins didn't come to clean this corpse, just let it rot here."

Marin looked around, eventually turning his attention to the skeleton and the backpack near it.

The backpack was already a little rotten, and judging by the fabric, it was probably the process before the Great Destruction, which kept it in decent condition.

Marin found a can, a kettle, and a snack wrapped in wrapper.

The snack was definitely inedible, and Marlin picked up the kettle and found it empty...... Maybe it's self-evaporation?

Putting it down, Marin glanced at the text on the can, and found that Marin, who couldn't recognize it at all, handed the can to Lulu: "Do you recognize this word?" โ€

"Hmm...... It's vague, but I recognize one of the words, herring? The girl made a distinction.

Without saying a word, Marin put the can back in the bag, and at the same time expressed the utmost respect to the forerunner.

"Speaking of which, although the canned food of the Great Destruction Age has been in place for a long time now, it is basically still edible, but it needs to be processed with a purification technique, why don't you eat a can and try it?" Lulu asked, for in her opinion, it was a rare experience to be able to eat food from the pre-destruction era.

"Still don't." Marin feels that it is not easy to walk towards death in this matter of life, and it is better not to be yourself in the smell of.

"Anyway, we've found the coordinates, and we're going to move south, and the ruins are not far to the south."

We'll need to take a detour though, as Jason finds that the only entrance is to the east, and you have to climb up to the second floor and then be able to enter through the window.

Before leaving through the exit on the east side, Marin poured a small cup of holy water on the corpse and watched the black mist dissipate before leaving.

The group of people moving through the ruins crouched in the corner, and Jason noticed a group of living corpses emerging from a nearby underground entrance, and heard a sound from the east end of the city, these living corpses rushed through the open area, completely oblivious to the living people in the corners of the nearby ruins.

When the living corpses ran away, Marin led the team across the open area to the half-fallen wall, and one of the members of the Church of Justice took out a folding ladder from behind him, stretched and fastened the screws, and the members of the Church of Justice climbed up in the first group, then the halfling group, then Lulu, and Marin was the last to go up to the second floorโ€”he stepped back, jumped up and grabbed the edge of the second floor with a run, and then flipped up himself.

Looking at the full set of guys Marlin was carrying behind him, the members of the Just Church began to silence their guns.

Marin put down the launcher and ammunition on his back, moved his body for a moment, then pulled out an integrated silenced pistol from his waist, pulled out the dagger from his waist with his left hand, and was the first to enter the window.

The ladder had already been erected with soft cloth, and the soft leather cushion on the soles of the Marlin shoes reduced a lot of noise.

Descending to the first floor, Marin turned on the purple light lamp on his head, and a halfling who followed him down pulled the purple light bomb and threw it into the hallway.

It's safe, without any screaming from spirits.

The second halfling who came down slapped a wall lamp against the wall to set up a safe zone, and the third halfling who came down pulled down his forehead to view the lenses, and he looked around: "I don't see any footprints of Chaos, or at least they don't exist here." โ€

"Keep up with me." After Marin finished speaking, he pointed the pistol flat in front of him, supported the wrist of his right hand holding the gun with his left hand, and pointed the dagger forward.

In the headphones on it, the building is eerily calm.

Walking down the hallway, Marlin had taken care of two small rooms, there were no monsters at all, only a few overturned shelves and few packaged foods left, which were no different from poison after all these years.

Coming to the other side of the hallway, Marin looked at the half-hidden old door, took out a small pot of oil in silence, dripped them onto the metal pieces, and carefully moved the iron door until Marin was able to gradually push it open with the lowest noise.

The glassed halfling behind him was the first to rush out to check the hall, and then he made a gesture of not noticing, and the other halfling walked forward, picked up the violet flares and threw it out.

As the flares lit up the hall, Marin also saw the living corpses in the hall that were getting up.

They couldn't see the violet light, they couldn't hear the footsteps of the halfling's cloth boots, but it could hear the flares working as they worked.
