Глава 4

Everyone... Gear up. It's about time for us to head out.

Madam Ch'en, I'm am formally requesting that the L.G.D. provide assistance to Rhodes Island on this rescue mission.

We may even be dealing with Reunion's new temporary headquarters...

Furthermore, I believe that our recon squads are still out there fighting, even if we can't see them...

第三十二关（前）

At this point... we're out of other options. Madam Ch'en, if you deny my request...

Rhodes Island will act alone.

These actions don't violate any of the terms of our cooperation.

Of course we'll be there.

...Is that so...

In that case, thank you on behalf of Rhodes Island...

I know that Lungmen still sees us as Infected...

It's not a big deal.

However, I'm not sure if our squads will be able to make it into the ruins.

We'll have to play it by ear.

If the situation allows, we will definitely help.

However, our top priority is still to eliminate Reunion.

That... that's enough for us.

...Thank you, Madam Ch'en.

Sorry, I have my own duties.

Did you hear me, Doc?

We will join up with Rhodes Island.

Amiya, be careful.

This won't be a simple task.

I will.

Right, I've managed to put together some pieces of intel.

Rhodes Island has already deployed rescue squads to assist the other recon squads.

But Meteorite's squad is too far and we cannot reach them.

This is where you come in.

Only Meteorite's squad...

I understand. I'll go look for them.

I'll send you the coordinates later.

Remember, safety is your top priority.

Understood.

So, when are we heading out?

Right now.

I'll go get ready. Notify the other L.G.D. members.

All right.

Amiya, we'll leave from here in ten minutes.

Okay.

Please be safe...

第三十二关（前）

We've arrived.

...What a depressing place.

Any mention of this on the news?

None.

By the looks of things, Ursus decided to abandon this place.

A deserted city, huh...

It this city has already become a Reunion stronghold, it's only going to cause more and more problems for Lungmen.

It's too close to Lungmen.

But if Skullshatterer was taking commands from this place, we can't afford to ignore it.

But... what exactly happened to this part of Chernobog?

It's impossible for it to have moved this far after being hit by the Catastrophe.

And why would it appear here?

From the observation data we've gathered... this happened in the aftermath of the Catastrophe.

Which means that this subsection was destroyed only after it reached here.

Hah. Seems like Rhodes Island has some skilled Catastrophe Messengers.

It's good to be cautious.

We've been ambushed by poorly-organized thugs our entire way here...

Like vultures circling overhead, looking for carcasses among the ruins.

It makes my skin crawl.

I've confirmed the coordinates. We'll have to continue moving deeper--

But judging from the terrain, we won't be able to move all our forces together.

Are we approaching the Originium-dense parts?

(I didn't expect you to be here.)

Ch'en, what do you think...

Ch'en?

How...

Ch'en, where are you going?!

Damn it, she just took off running! Who could that have been...

...I didn't manage to get a good look either!

But that silhouette seemed like...

We have to follow her...

Stop!

What bad timing...!

That guy is no ordinary henchman...

And... where did all of those Originium slugs crawl out from?

Those creatures... look like they might explode!

Dr. {@nickname}!

Make sure our operators exercise utmost caution!!

第三十二关（前）

We've defeated Reunion's forces!

Bah. For a bunch of roadblocks, these guys were a bit tough.

There's no sign of Ch'en.

We're in a real mess now...

She's not responding to my calls either! Tsk... This part of her hasn't ever changed.

L.G.D.! All members, prepare to follow me--

No, Inspector Hoshiguma.

You should let us handle it.

We're approaching the Originium-dense zones left by the Catastrophe...

If you go any further, the healthy risk being infected by Oripathy.

These consequences are too dire.

Furthermore, as Infected...

Hah. Given your small stature, it's cute when you try to give serious speeches.

Eh? Huh?!

Hahaha, I was just giving you a hard time.

But you don't have to persuade me. I understand your concern.

L.G.D.! We will be Rhodes Island's shield!

Block the entrance, and don't let a single Reunion member enter or exit!

We'll let the experts handle this problem!
