Old Dunling was protected by complex systems and mechanisms, and although the storm obscured the view, the Black Mountain Hospital maintained communication with the Shattered Dome until the communication was cut off a few hours ago, according to one of the disaster contingency plans, after losing contact with Arthur and the entire Black Mountain Hospital, the plan was activated and the scavenger forces were dispatched.

As their name suggests, the Scavengers are responsible for putting the finishing touches on the demonic operation, and in some special cases, they will also put the finishing touches on the failed operation of the Purifier.

According to the Peep System's assessment of the intensity of erosion at the Black Mountain Hospital, Arthur's communication with Gawain before the loss of contact can tell that there is a demon tide erupting in the Black Mountain Hospital, as well as the importance and geographical location of the Black Mountain Hospital, the scavengers temporarily regard Arthur as killed, and the entire Black Mountain Hospital is also judged by them to be a fallen area.

It's not so much that they're a special class fighting demons, but rather an army, and most of the members are retired from the main force of the Eradication Agency, and no longer have the ability to directly fight the demons, so the scavengers mobilized Ascalon to fire at the Black Mountain Hospital, clearing the way for the follow-up troops to enter the field.

While destroying the demons, the rain of fire also destroyed the buildings one by one, countless armored iron snakes ran wildly under the storm along the railroad tracks, and the encirclement network was gradually formed, enveloping the entire Black Mountain Hospital, and never letting go of any demons.

"Are they trying to kill us too?"

Under the cover, the kestrel screamed, he thought that he might be killed by the demon, but in the current situation, before the demon killed him, he would most likely be killed by his own people.

"That's the way the scavengers do it, and they've given us a chance. Arthur responded.

"What chances? Evacuation warning?"

Kestrel couldn't help but scold, but this time Arthur didn't have time to respond to him, the violent explosion set off a heat wave, and the torrential rain that had just been extremely cold was now like being thrown into boiling water.

The scavengers did give them a chance, but it was not a warning to evacuate, and the countdown to the start of the plan began when the Black Mountain Hospital lost contact, and after such a long time of no response, the scavengers made such a judgment.

In a sense, although the scavengers are subordinate to the purification agency, unlike the Black Mountain Hospital and the Perpetual Pump, they exist completely independently and are not under Arthur's control.

It sounds strange, even shocking, but it's true, because the scavengers themselves are a contingency plan, and when the command is completely corrupted by demons, the scavengers will be the new purification mechanism, completely cleaning up the old things that have been corrupted.

They are the last line of insurance for the Purifier and the sword that hangs over their heads, so they must reduce their presence as much as possible so as not to be attacked and destroyed by the alienated Command, and the Scavengers are the only ones within the Purifier that have the power to use antimemes.

As the commander, Arthur's understanding of the scavengers ended here, after all, they exist to limit the command level, and more information is firmly protected by the antimemetic effect.

While being fierce to the enemy, he is also cruel to himself, which is very in line with the actions of the purification mechanism, and the rest of the people are a little incredulous about the rain of fire, but Arthur understands it very well, and is not even surprised.

Keeping demons out of human cognition, the Purification Mechanism is the wall that straddles the two, this is the ultimate creed, and the bottom line must not be transgressed, and in order to prevent the demons from spreading, the scavengers may do more crazy things.

The roaring vibration continued, no matter how many demons or survivors were still on the surface, it was estimated that they would be buried in the sea of fire under this baptism, and a mournful roar came, and the demons in iron armor were hit by heavy artillery strikes, and under this level of firepower, even if it was directly hit by iron armor, it was somewhat irresistible.

The iron armor shattered, and the blazing heat spread over the body with molten iron, and the deformed flesh and blood under the huge wound were clearly visible.

"Lancelot!"

Someone shouted, and heavy footsteps rang out in the chaos of despair.

In the midst of the rain and rising steam, a craggy knight broke through the barrier, the steam engine was overloaded, and the scorching sun could be seen from under the cracks in the armor, and the hot white vapor was pulled into a pale white thread by the rapid speed of the body before it could dissipate in the air.

In this apocalyptic moment, Percival rushed out of cover with a great sword in hand, dazed, frightened, and sad...... All emotions were diluted without a trace under the rain of sanity.

This is the perfect opportunity, if you don't take this opportunity to kill this tricky demon completely, with the terrifying life force of the secret blood, this demon will become even more tricky.

In response to her, the thunder fell, and the hook line pierced through the chaos, directly hitting the soft flesh beneath the wound, and Lancelot's hook had been difficult to nail into the demon's body with the protection of the iron armor before, but this time he had the opportunity to attack.

In an instant, the armor turned into a dark blue ghost and fell, and the sharp twin swords were nailed into the wound, the iron armor could protect against attacks from the outside, but it could not resist the tear from within.

Pierce, slash.

The wound expanded into a cross scar, and the tear erupted with red-hot blood along the path of the metal.

Lancelot could smell blood, and it was such a wonderful feeling at the moment, even though he was in hell.

Arthur was right, he was a natural knight, with an iron will that surpassed all people, and he was so greedy that even demons could hardly erode the desire to swallow it.

The desire for freedom.

As soon as he had a memory, Lanloster had learned of the mysterious spell, and at first he was naïve enough not to know what it was, like a child's joke, and did not take it to heart.

This innocent dream lasted for a long time, until one day he fell on the lawn while running, and the blood gushed out of his knees uncontrollably, and he woke up from the dream.

He had witnessed the death of the royal family, their immobile bodies bloated, their whole bodies embedded in delicate strollers, their pale faces wailing meaninglessly, they could clearly feel the blood flowing under their skin, but the internal bleeding that was deep in their bodies was powerless.

It was a slow funeral, and Lancelot watched him die slowly, not as the priests say, when a man dies peacefully to his resting place, his hideous, painful countenance unmelted until the last moment, and was forever etched into his pale skin like a sculpture.

Someone told Lancelot that it would be his fate, the fate of every Victoria.

"That's nice......"

A faint voice rang out from beneath the armor.

Lancelot felt a little cold, and the rain drenched him, and the dampness continued.

The space inside the armor was limited, and his vision was completely limited to the armor, and he couldn't see the condition of his body, but he knew very well that he was about to die, not only the rain of fire in the sky, but also these tricky demons, although the voice was very slight, but Lancelot could hear the sound of blood surging.

The wound on his knee ached slightly, and blood poured out uncontrollably, along the gaps in the armor.

But now he did not have the slightest fear of death, but was extremely happy, he broke that dark fate, he would not die like a baby in that ridiculous stroller, but as a knight on the battlefield against demons.

After a brief moment of pain, the demon began to fight back, it had lost its mind, and it acted on instinct, its entire body became bloated and clumsy due to the growing armor, and its swing also seemed extremely slow at this moment, with the squeezing between the joints, the iron armor crashed against each other, making a shuddering sound.

"Go on! Lancelot!"

Percival slashed his greatsword and blocked the demon's attack to buy Lancelot time.

The glow of the gap grew redder, and within the armor, Percival was almost completely encased in proliferating demon flesh.

The size of this demon was so large that its form had become very blurred due to its deformed growth, and Lancelot quickly stabbed his sword under the flesh, but no matter how he attacked, it seemed that it was difficult to reach the heart wrapped in layers of flesh and blood, let alone cut off the head.

The wailing and howling all came together, and countless demons rushed under the rain of fire towards the dome, realizing the catastrophe and instinctively driving them to flee from here.

The originally safe area became more dangerous, and Kestrel and the others had to continue to face these demons that appeared, otherwise these demons would bite them to pieces before the fire rain killed them.

"What's going on? Joey!"

At this time, at the end of the passage, Joey, who had just organized the evacuation of people into the research area, turned back.

"The demons are heading here, and the Ascaron bombardment has destroyed the passage...... Half of them are at the other end. ”

Joey replied that it was difficult for him to have any emotional fluctuations now.

"Here!"

Blue Emerald waved at them, and they gathered around the remains of three generations of armor, which became a temporary fortress between the wreckage and the building.

It's really bad news, not only is the retreat cut off, as the fire rain falls, the demons around are gathering here, and soon this will become the final battlefield, whether it is a person or a demon, it will be here to divide the winner and loser.

The wails were approaching, the demons were biting forward, the thermite rifles were mostly empty, and now everyone was in melee combat, some still getting a folding knife, but more picking up the shattered metal wreckage on the ground to fight.

"Eve, get to the Blue Jade, evacuate all there!" Arthur shouted.

With Arthur's order to move again, Eve slashed down a few more demons with her folding knife, and she tried to reach the area where the blue jade was, but was stopped by one demon after another.

A vicious murderous aura rose, and a demon quietly arrived at Eve's side under the cover of the rainstorm, and when he was about to jump up, the heavy metal shattered and smashed down fiercely, directly smashing the demon's head to pieces.

Eve turned her head, but saw Delen with a smug face, the white hospital gown had been completely wet and stained red with blood, and it seemed that he had also suffered some injuries, probably because he was a patient, these patients often have two extremes in the face of demons, either they don't realize these horrors at all, and they are difficult to be affected, or they are tormented by nightmares in their hearts, and they are easily engulfed by erosion.

Delenn was clearly the former, and then made an elegant gesture at Eve, who for a moment didn't know what the psychopath was up to, until he also realized that Eve didn't understand what he was doing, he said.

"Ladies first. ”

Eve was a little crying and laughing for a while, I don't know if I admired Delen's gentlemanly style, or if he was really a psychopath, at this time, I don't know what was going on in his head.

"Thank you!"

Shouting loudly, Eve rushed straight towards the path opened by these psychopaths.

The rain of fire threatens the survivors, but also the demons, Arthur looks at the large lifting platform washed by the rain and blood, Ascalon's cannonballs bloom on it, and the scattered molten iron and impact crush most of the demons, relieving a lot of pressure for Arthur and the others, and bringing some hope.

Arthur didn't know exactly how the scavengers were moving, but fire support had arrived, and as long as they held on, they could survive.

Most of the people had evacuated to the remains of the three generations of armor, and Arthur was ready to leave, only to find Cole and Gavin standing stunned in the rain.

In fact, the battle has come to an end, and the next thing is to get through, Arthur tried to call the patients to evacuate with him, but when he thought of their already confused thoughts, Arthur didn't know if he could persuade them, and he just wanted to speak, when he heard Cole say.

"Ah...... It's a feeling I haven't felt in a long time......"

Cole rubbed his eyes and took a closer look at the world again.

"Cole ......"

Arthur was a little stunned, he tried to say something, but at the moment he couldn't say anything, looking at the old face, Arthur couldn't believe it.

"You ......"

Cole turned his head to look at Arthur at this time, and his cloudy eyes cleared again, it was clear that so much time had passed, but it seemed to Cole that it was just yesterday.

"Long time no see! Arthur. ”

Arthur almost choked, not knowing if it was a return or something else, as the erosion intensified, so did the things they had taken them.

Some of the patients, like Cole, were like newborn babies, watching the end of the world with a rational gaze.

"Branch...... Cole, come with me! I can't stop here!"

Arthur's heart twitched, he had a lot to ask, but in the end there was only so much he could say, but Cole refused, he slowly raised his hand, and said with a complicated expression.

"I can't live anymore, the doctors have done me just to postpone these things, and now it's coming. ”

Some of the old arms have begun to be alienated, like the well-known demons, and the bones have been slightly deformed.

These patients had never been free from the erosion, and now the wounds left by the erosion had been exacerbated by the arrival of the demons.
