Ark: The Cycle of Light and Darkness

Severe cold has enveloped Siberia, and the sky-wide wind and snow have distorted and blurred the scenery around the earth. Except for the whine of the west wind sweeping across the earth, no sound can be heard here.

This is Siberia, the far west of Ursus, the gate of hell.

At this time, in the wind and snow, a figure was walking across the ice field like a ghost, moving faster than the sled, just like a ghost.

(Damn it, I didn’t expect the blizzard to come a full hour earlier than expected. We have to hurry up.)

According to the information provided by the old man, the little girl named"Misha" should have been discovered during the escape. Two crisis contract operators who were covering her were killed on the spot, and three more operators were unfortunately killed during the subsequent pursuit. The last operator was also seriously injured and died after finally escaping the pursuers and entering the safe house. Death.

Fortunately, before dying, the operator also successfully passed on the coordinates of the safe house to his superiors, and Levi's goal was to find the safe house based on the coordinate clues provided by the crisis contract.

(The storms in the sky made the surrounding magnetic field chaotic... and with extremely low visibility, the surrounding reference objects basically lost their role as markers and guides.)

Siberia in Ursus, its harsh climate environment once buried alive After conquering Victoria's 100,000-strong army and the famous Dulin commander Lupona, this bitter cold place of exile was known as the"Gate of Hell".

It's easier said than done to protect a tow truck from this place and leave safely.

【The coordinates are... Ah, the function of the transmitter has been restored. It seems that the safe house is nearby. 】

Levi squinted his eyes, trying his best to penetrate the blizzard and fall on the surroundings, and quickly locked on an inconspicuous but relatively abrupt low snow hill.

【This is it... I hope it's not too bad】

——————Dividing line——————

【Don't move! Hold your head in your hands! 】

Stepping into the safe house, to Levi's surprise, what greeted him was not a trembling little girl, but the black muzzle of a gun.

The weapon, which is obviously made by mercenaries, is equipped with a bayonet blade in the front, which can be easily stabbed out like a gun blade. However, this modification also gives the gun an amazing weight, which can be seen from the constantly trembling muzzle and grip. You can see it in the small hands of the weapons

【Stop it. For a threat like you, if you encounter a real enemy, you will die countless times. If you have the time to threaten me, you might as well correct your trembling hands. 】

(Real... enemy?)

Misha couldn't help but take a look at the Sakaz man in front of him who was wearing a cloak and covering the upper half of his face with a mask.

This man was too calm. He didn't look like he was being threatened with a gun. That gave him and his brother nightmares day and night. The black muzzle of the gun seemed like a toy in front of him.

【Stop talking nonsense! You, hand over all your weapons now, otherwise you will end up like the person next to you! 】

Levi looked to the side and saw a snow-white film man lying on the table on the side. The blood had dried up, leaving only shocking black blood spots. It seemed that this was what the old man said, the police officer he sent. One of the members, the one who insisted on reaching the safe house before dying.

(It must have been dead for more than 7 days. Thanks to the polar conditions of Ursus, it did not start to rot.……）

【However, that person was clearly stabbed with multiple knives in multiple vital parts of his body and died of excessive blood loss. How could it be that you killed him? Is it possible that your weapon is used for shooting knives? 】

A trace of panic flashed in the eyes of the little girl from Ursus:

【shut up! Now hold your head and squat down and don't move, otherwise I will really... shoot!】

【……well. 】

With this sigh, Misha only felt her eyes blur, and then there was a light on her hand. The weapon had been taken away by the Sakaz man who had bullied her at some point and was playing with it.

【MGL-140 grenade launcher... isn't this a covert operation? To actually use this kind of weapon……】He opened the drum-shaped ammunition compartment and confirmed the number of ammunition inside: [There are three rounds left, which is barely usable...】

【……ah!! ]

Misha was shocked by the sudden turn of events. After being stunned for a few seconds, she finally realized that the weapon was gone. She couldn't help but jump back quickly, bared her teeth like a puppy, and glared fiercely at the masked man.

【Don't be nervous, just like the dead guy next to you, I also come from a crisis contract, and I am here to fulfill the contract and take you out. ]

Misha couldn't believe what Levi said, and hesitantly looked at the man's figure.

【Do not believe? ]

With a click, the grenade launcher was pointed at the owner who was holding it a minute ago: [If I want to kill you, I don't need to lie to you... Can you beat me? 】

Misha was frightened to death, but after thinking for less than two seconds, she knew that what this person said was true, so she had no choice but to nod.

At the same time, Levi looked at the surrounding environment

【It's a shame that you can endure it until now... If a girl of the same age had stayed with a corpse in this environment for nearly 8 days, she would have collapsed long ago. 】

Levi’s words are not without basis.

"Although the name"Safe House" bears the name of a safe house, it is actually just a space hidden under the snow cave. It is a dark and water-seeking environment, a low temperature that is slightly stronger than the outside but also lingers at the human body's tolerance level, silent and highly tense. The psychological environment, coupled with a dead body...

Let alone a little girl who is not yet a minor, even an adult would probably not be able to bear it.

【If you have ever stayed in a black mine, you will know that there are things to eat and things to wear...the environment here is alreadyDone. ] seemed to bring back Misha’s bad memories. The little girl’s eyes dimmed and her whole body trembled undetectably.

【……Forget it, it doesn't matter anymore. All in all, I need to get you out before the first strong cold wave arrives. ]

Levi hesitated for a moment, then told the little girl in front of him: [The environment outside is very harsh, so I can't absolutely guarantee that you are intact. If necessary, I will even chop off your legs to save your life... But at least, I will promise to bring you out of here alive. 】

Misha was startled by Levi's almost decisive words at first, but after thinking about it carefully, she sighed dejectedly.

【Okay...but at least, you have to tell me your name first】

【Regulus Harvey—just call me Levy. 】
