Глава 6

If you only follow orders, if you rely on everyone else to tell you what to do, that can only end poorly.

Why?

Most of the sheep who blindly take orders aren't actually dependent on anyone. They just haven't started thinking for themselves...

And those who have no direction in life, they're just empty machines looking for a sense of accomplishment, and meaning.

You activate, and perform your function, you input a goal, you achieve your goal, until you consume everything around you, and you consume those you serve.

I won't.

You're inexperienced.

I saw your interaction with the Infected back there. You're doing the right thing.

Your opinion means nothing to me.

Faust, you've been avoiding the L. G. D. Even the ones who are out here on their own, you haven't shot at them. I've been watching you.

Don't take my patience for weakness. If I ambushed you, you'd be dead.

But you didn't.

You're exhausted. Take it from a crossbowman, your string is drawn too tight. It's definitely going to snap.

Take it from a crossbowman, you're too much.

You've also seen those... special Infected. We can figure this one out together.

Maybe you're right.

Wait!

But there's nothing I can do.

(He disappeared the instant he moved...? I can't figure his position!)

......hm?

Why haven't you killed me?

You didn't shoot. Neither will I.

But next time? If you don't kill me, I will kill you.

I don't want to hurt you!

That's too bad.

I guess you need someone to answer you. Without an answer, you can't understand.

Don't worry about it. Killing, dying, these are everyday facts of life. Even for Rhodes Island.

Why can't we work together to save them?

I really wish I could. But I know I can't.

Don't follow me.

You still don't know them. You don't yet have the whole picture.

...and me? There's nothing I can do anymore.

How many men have fallen because of things I did? How many men have fallen because of things I didn't do?

第四关（前）

Hurry! Get back! The Infected have turned into monsters!

Agh! I've been bit! I've been bit!

Ung.

Aaaahh!

(Terrifying screaming).

How could this happen...?

What has that nasty little boy done?!

Doctor, we need to move! We have to meet up with Amiya!

A small fire team can't handle a herd of this size. We have to tread carefully!

There's nothing we can do for the L. G. D. now. We're in a much worse position than them.

Set them aside. My top priority is to guarantee your safety.

We're being overrun!

We're dead if we don't retreat!

Don't panic.

Huh?! Who's...?

That uniform... You're...

The cavalry is here. Stand firm.

Form two teams and move on their flanks.

But, Master...

Trust me. While I cannot take action myself, this method will succeed.

Execute a pincer attack, hold the enemy in place, and leave the stragglers to your reinforcements.

Nnng... Ngaaaa!

...Thank you, sir!

If you hadn't come to help...

Behind you.

C- counterattack!

It is no use.

Form up. And fall back.

Yes, sir!

No, if we do that...

We can't hold here. We have to find a way out...

Of course! The high ground! We move up the stairs and attack down into the corridor!

...No. All we can do is hold. But at least we won't get cornered by this crowd of lunatics!

Right. Come about, gather up at each doorway, pull back the teams, and take a defensive formation! Hurry! Move!

Well done. I approve.

Sir, come with us!

No need.

What?

Go.

I will move on the ground.

We can't hold them!

All we have is piercing weapons, and they're useless against these things!

Hold your ground!

We're the last line of defense for the civilians behind us!

Then what do we do?!

We fight to the last man!

Watch the Originium they're throwing. It corrodes your equipment, and some of them explode!

Ah...! They hit Ah Chung!

Ah Chung, get back! You, move up! Don't let them through!

Guuhhh.

Aaaaaagh! Th- they got me! They're eating me! Noo! Aaaaieeeee!!!

Ah Yee!!!

How embarrassing!

Zongguan Bailei Zhengfa, loose!

Nnng...!!

Lightning Arts?!

H- how... you wiped them all out in one bright flash?

*Pant...* *pant...*

I just said I would not act. Little did I know how incapable you are of protecting the masses.

That I would be forced to take such action, it's humiliating!

Madam Censor...

Madam nothing! Were you not told to ignore my presence?

...We never thought...

I found your spirit laudable. How disappointing it was to see you hopping about aimlessly, leaving me to do your work. Honestly, what were you doing?

Now! To your place!

But you just said...
