Is It Too Late to Leave the Chat Group?

Book 4: Chapter 32: I Choose You—He Who Knows Fate

Kal’tsit: Did you have to do that?

I did that for you. Can’t you tell when someone is being kind? These things should be expensive, right?

Chen Heng did not care about the equipment. To him, it was all trash.

Kal’tsit: Thank you.

Kal’tsit had thought Chen Heng wanted the equipment for himself. Unexpectedly…

When Rhodes Island’s group came out of the facility, they found the world starkly different.

There were explosions, rioting, fire, alley fights, and many other events that would take place in an age of chaos.

Chen Heng nearly thought he and Rhodes Island’s group had transmigrated to another world.

Right now, scenes like what Chen Heng and the others were seeing dominated the entire Chernobog. Rioters wearing the Reunion Movement uniform were everywhere, sowing chaos. Shrill screams came from the citizens.

Besides the Defender operator standing in front, Dobermann was the first person out. When she saw this scene, she immediately ordered the remaining people to stay here while they waited quietly for the Rhodes Island members who had left to keep watch and collect information to return.

On the road, the Reunion Movement and the Ursus military police clashed. However, the well-equipped Ursus military police were at a disadvantage, as there were simply too many Reunion members.

In time, the battle approached its conclusion. The Ursus military police were practically wiped out, while the Reunion Movement suffered many casualties and injuries.

Although long-range communication had been blocked for some reason, short-range communication still worked. Soon, all the operators keeping watch and collecting information returned.

“What should we do now? Should we just hide, then let He Who Knows Fate send us out of Chernobog one by one, or should we sneak out as a group? By the way, a catastrophe will happen soon. Kal’tsit sent me this information before I entered the facility.” Dobermann sought Amiya’s opinion.

Amiya heard Dobermann’s question but did not answer. Instead, she looked at a mother protecting a child being dragged out of an alley by Reunion members. Although the mother faced impending doom, she still pleaded with the Reunion members to let her son go with all her might.

“…We should immediately attack the Reunion Movement.”

“Amiya…”

“I know there are risks this way. While we appear to have two options, there is just one in reality: for everyone to leave while doing our best to avoid detection by the enemy. If He Who Knows Fate sends us out one by one, the people remaining behind might suffer losses or major damage without He Who Knows Fate’s sniping support. Furthermore, Mister He Who Knows Fate cannot continuously use his spatial jumps, right?”

While saying this, Amiya turned a pleading gaze to Chen Heng.

This… Chen Heng understood. Amiya was simply making an excuse. Actually, Chen Heng could bring everyone away from Chernobog in one go if he wanted. However, he could not ignore Amiya’s pleading gaze.

Furthermore, it would be a lie to say he had no interest in Talulah, FrostNova, and the others. In any case, he felt confident in escorting this group of people away safely.

“Huh, yeah. Yes, that’s right. It is as Amiya said….”

“…”

“…”

Efreet: So fake.

17-Year-Old Beautiful Young Lady: Indeed.

Umaru-chan: Even I can tell.

“…Alright. We will do as Amiya says. I trust you, Amiya. Operators, listen up. The Reunion Movement has not noticed our presence yet. Remember, finish them off swiftly and decisively. Doctor, muster the teams. Now is the time to prove yourselves. The situation does not permit us to hold back.”

“That’s impossible…this is not scientific. Why does he need so many materials?” Doctor continued looking at He Who Knows Fate’s information in his hand, showing no intention of listening to Dobermann.

While Doctor was resting in the basement, Amiya had given him a basic explanation of the PRST. Then Doctor had entered such a state.

“…Amiya, it’s up to you now.”

“I understand. If we can avoid them, we will remain silent. If we need to fight, we will fight to the end. Rhodes Island’s creed…has never changed. So…

“I choose you—He Who Knows Fate.”

“Me?” Chen Heng pointed to himself as he looked at Amiya in confusion.

Initially, Amiya’s earlier words had stimulated Chen Heng somewhat. After all, this speech sounded quite awesome. However, she called him out, breaking him from the spell.

“That’s right. Who else? Since we have such a good Sniper, why wouldn’t I use you?”

“Then here’s a question. Since I’m the only one taking action, what is the point of that awesome speech earlier?”

“Of course, to boost morale.”

“To boost whose morale? Just mine?”

“Yes.”

“Yes, your head! Never mind. It looks like I have to take over at the crucial moment.”

“By the way, He Who Knows Fate. If you can, please be quieter. It would be best if they didn’t notice us.” Just as Chen Heng brought his sniper rifle to the front, Amiya made another request.

“You are so troublesome. You want to deal with them all but not let them notice our existence. However, that is not difficult. Just wait and see my performance.”

Chen Heng picked up his Electromagnetic Sniper Rifle, stepped forward, and vanished.

Then he appeared on the roof of a tall building on the left.

As the Reunion Movement had already eliminated the Ursus military police in this area, many members had already left. However, quite a few remained to harass the ordinary citizens. If wiping the Reunion Movement out was not practical, Chen Heng’s group would be blocked here for a long time.

Prop up the gun, aim, fire…

This time, Chen Heng only used the Electromagnetic Sniper Rifle’s innate firepower, not providing any boosts. Furthermore, this gun came with a silencer. Hence, this sniping operation did not cause much of a commotion.

Bang! The head of that Reunion member about to smash his weapon on the child’s mother exploded. Yes, exploded; his head vanished.

Even without Chen Heng boosting the Electromagnetic Sniper Rifle, it was very powerful. At the very least, these ordinary Reunion members, even the heavily equipped ones, could not block it.
