"elder sister......"

Rhine finally awoke in the maintenance pod. If one ignored the horrifying wounds, this should have been the body of a beautiful young girl, her beloved younger sister, Rhine Enshe...

Her tears couldn't be wiped away in time, and Rhine couldn't help but wonder what could have made her sister cry. She was such a strong person, a pillar of the martyrs. Although she wasn't as tall as her sisters Mantico and Hecate, she was the most indispensable.

Sister, why are you crying?

Is it because of me...?

......

"I'm so sorry, Rhine..."

I'm so sorry...

......

“Martyrs have been associated with measurable value since their inception, and now is the time for you to contribute your final value. However, it seems that our partners do not intend to exploit us to the fullest extent, so you may remain here.”

"You'll pay for your arrogance sooner or later, you damn madman!"

"Perhaps, but not today. As for you, Natya, you should have been prepared for this a long time ago."

"Perhaps Pascal gave you too much freedom, which was a mistake."

"...!"

......

Natia leaned against the maintenance cabin, the powerlessness of reality and the tragic death of her sister causing her unbearable pain. Why? Was this the meaning of the name of martyr? Was the path they were martyred for a grand vision they had never heard of?

Is this the afterlife of machines?

"Rhine, whether you can hear me or not..." she whispered to herself through the bulkhead of the maintenance bay, her eyes growing increasingly cold, "We're going to take you away from here..."

......

She couldn't hear what her sister was saying; she could only watch as her sister walked towards another maintenance bay, where a white-haired girl stood. She looked to be about the same age as them, but was still unconscious. It was said that she was the latest type of humanoid that Miss Pascal had been researching for a long time.

What is my sister going to do...?

......

"snow White..."

Natia murmured the code name of this machine, as well as the other cabins in the same maintenance room, where her sisters were still in a deep sleep and had not yet awakened.

They were all prospective martyrs, a backup plan left by Dr. Pascal, but now it seems necessary to activate them ahead of schedule.

"Rapunzel, Crimson Lotus..."

......

"Boss, everyone is here."

When Natia turned around, the members of the three squads of martyrs were behind her, and Hecate gave the report.

Natalia nodded: "What about the helicopter and the cargo?"

"Nemesis and Nyx have made all the arrangements; now it's just a matter of us making the move."

"Yeah..."

......

The sisters seemed to be talking about something, and Rheinenshe really wanted to go over and listen to what they were saying. In the past, the sisters would never hide anything from her when they talked about it.

But now I'm powerless to help myself...

Suddenly, Natya turned around and walked towards her maintenance bay. Rhinenshe quickly leaned against the wall, waiting to see what her sister wanted to say.

"elder sister......"

[Crack]

"Eh...?"

Natia swung her fist, shattering the maintenance pod with a single blow. Caught off guard and already exhausted, Rhine instantly lost her balance, but Natia caught her in time and held her in her arms.

"Sister, what's going on...?"

The sounds of breaking echoed one after another. Rhine forced herself to lift her head and saw that her other sisters were smashing up three maintenance bays nearby, taking out the machines inside and carrying them on their backs, along with the maintenance tools of all sizes.

“Rhine, this is the choice my sister made,” Natia said coldly. “We cannot become victims of these madmen. We must escape from here.”

"Eh...Eh?!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Natia started running at top speed. Mantico and Hecate also picked up their weapons and cleared a path on both sides. The group rushed out of the underground facility and went straight to the first floor of the company. Fortunately, there were no outside guests here, otherwise it would have been easy to cause a lot of unnecessary misunderstandings.

"Get out of the way!"

"Get away from here! We don't want to fire here!"

A small number of the martyrs were responsible for holding off the other three inactive units, while the majority were responsible for clearing the way and threatening the other Nieto with weapons to retreat. The company did not reserve much security force, and Natia only carried out this crazy plan on a day when both Nasis and Ti had missions.

The Nietos, naturally unaware of what was happening, and no longer as rigid and dull as the puppets in the Paradis of the past, all chose to give way.

To avoid any accidents, they chose to go straight up the stairs to prevent the elevator from being controlled. However, the journey was quite smooth, and Nieto did not fire at them. He probably didn't want the sound of gunfire to make the company's headlines tomorrow.

hope so......

"Hmph..."

Morido scrutinized the fleeing Martyrs members on the monitor, stirring her coffee casually, as if this was just the prelude to a great show.

The prologue doesn't need too much intense conflict; it should merely be a reasonable prelude before the main event begins.

They successfully reached the rooftop, where two helicopters were already waiting, piloted by Nemesis and Nyx. The equipment for the three new members had already been installed in the helicopters, ready for them to leave.

"Hurry up, come on!"

"Uranus, throw two incendiary bombs!"

"I'll fucking pour oil right here!"

Perhaps to prevent pursuit, the members of the second team poured gasoline on the rooftop helipad, and then, during takeoff, Uranus threw down the incendiary bombs he was carrying.

In an instant, the entire rooftop was engulfed in flames. No one had a chance to get to the rooftop to stop them in a short time, and Paradis didn't want to start a war in the city; they weren't big enough.

The helicopter gradually flew away from the city, and only when the noise could no longer be heard did Rhine ask in bewilderment...

"Sister, what happened... Did we betray the company?"

"Yes, it's not just about turning away; we might never come back to this place. We have to find our own way out."

She looked at the terminal in her hand; Luo Fan's contact information was still saved there. Perhaps they couldn't find a clear way out in the short term, but with this commander around, there was still a chance.

He won't accept such a madman...

The technicians of the three teams have begun to activate the mechs of the three new members. Natia looked around at her teammates, and a sense of relief she had never felt before filled her. She never thought that one day they would also be able to have such freedom.

"Ladies and gentlemen, from this moment on, we are not martyrs..."

She made a declaration to all the members, making herself the focus of the girls' attention.

Nemesis chuckled, "So, Captain, what should we call ourselves?"

"We will change our name to 'Pilgrims'."

769 Snow White

"Teacher, are you sure you want to just let them leave like this, without even stopping them?"

Gray's tone was tentative; at least in her memory, she didn't think Morido would be a leader who would allow her subordinates to openly act against her, let alone someone as wicked as the Martyrs who forcibly left with the aircraft, equipment, supplies, and two helicopters.

The warmth of a cup of hot coffee doesn't last long in this season. When Morido tried to drink it, she noticed steam on the cup. It seemed the timing wasn't very good, just like the window of opportunity she had left in the high-ranking Nieto's deployment room.

When they looked up, the two helicopters had already disappeared into the clouds, as if the freedom they dreamed of was within reach, or rather, they had already achieved it.

"Grey, what options do you think they have for settling down after leaving Paradis?"

Morido countered with a question to Gray, who then began to ponder the question from the same angle...

“Their sensitive identities alone are enough to exclude most landmarks. They need to stay as far away from Paradis as possible, including the branch offices that are about to be established in other states... North America, or rather, Anchorage?”

“Impossible,” Morido shook her head. “Angelia’s plans over there are more than just a vacation. They don’t need these outsiders to suddenly cause trouble. Given our past sensitive relationship with Angelia… she will only feel resistant to martyrs. So there is only one last option.”

"...quarantine zone."

Gray spoke in a deep voice, acknowledging that this was indeed the only viable option they could think of.

Morido pushed the cup aside: "Ah~ could you please make me another cup and a piece of sugar, please... Okay, Gray, even if they do settle in the quarantine zone, do you really think they can completely break free from us?"

...As expected, Gray's heart sank again; she certainly wouldn't leave something unresolved.

You mean...?

"Think about the technology used by those new humanoids. Their resource consumption rate is much higher than that of ordinary Nieto or humanoids. Can this organization's plan, which was only made in a few days, really allow them to act recklessly and support themselves?"

As the signals from the two helicopters disappeared from the screen, Nieto, her subordinate, brought over a fresh cup of coffee. Morido slowly closed her laptop and went to the floor-to-ceiling window, her favorite spot when she was plotting her schemes. It seemed that every time, she could manipulate everything around her.

“Even if they don’t rely on us, they will eventually depend on the Commander. In that case, they will still be of value to the Commander and us until they completely destroy themselves. At that time, it will no longer be our responsibility, and someone will take good care of the martyrs.”

What a terrifying madman...

......

"Damn it, they're ripping off our Rhine like this. They already have so few holidays, now they have even more reason to run away!"

Mantico was still indignant about Rhine's injury. It could be said that everyone on the plane felt the same way. After all, Rhine was still in a daze. Even though all the data indicators were approaching normal, it was as if he had developed a psychological problem that only humans could have.

Hecate was holding Rhine in her arms to check on the situation, Nemesis was in charge of piloting, and several technicians from Team Three were trying to activate the Martyr trainees' mechs that they had brought with them.

Consciousness and cloud maps are already running with a complete data chain. All that needs to be done now is to awaken them. For example, the Snow White in front of us has already been successfully awakened.

"Hmm... This is... on a helicopter? And my sisters are here too? Does this mean there's a critical mission that requires me to be called in immediately?!"

After saying that, she prepared to dismantle the large white weapon case next to her, but Mantico quickly got up and stopped her.

"Wow, hehe, hehe! Little princess, don't worry! We're not on a mission, we're safe now!"

"Huh? Is it safe?" Snow White tilted her head, looking completely confused. "But I remember there were still at least two months until I joined the ranks, so how come now... Ah! Could it be...!"

"What did you say?"

Mantico said with great interest, and even Nemesis in the cockpit couldn't help but glance at the new member's actions.

?????????

“It’s wartime now, isn’t it? I’m very good at making weapons. Dr. Pascal told me that my weapons and the technology I use and master are the most advanced available. People need me now, right?”

......

Natia's lips twitched subconsciously: "You have quite the imagination, but speaking of weapons technology..."

【Boom boom boom】

Everyone turned around, and Uranus, the captain of the second team, patted the large weapon case next to him.

She laughed, following Natia's words, "We studied this for a while. It's your weapon kit, right? It's so big. Show it to us."

"Okay!"

She appeared somewhat reserved, dragging her still-uncomfortable body to the weapon case. She began to use her identity information to unseal the weapon case, a process that was quite cumbersome. This inevitably aroused curiosity about what kind of weapon required two boxes, each much larger than a person and requiring several Nieto to move, for transportation.

The martyrs... or rather, the pilgrims, all rushed forward to watch as Snow White unlocked the door using a password, iris recognition, voiceprint recognition, and a bionic fingerprint system. Anyone who didn't know better would have thought she was opening a bank safe deposit box.

Minutes later, the two weapon cases were successfully unlocked, and what Snow White took out of them was even more astonishing.

Tactical swords, assault rifles, shotguns, grenade launchers, rocket launchers, anti-material sniper rifles, and so on—the specifications far exceeded the scale of individual soldier equipment, yet Snow White effortlessly lifted them and found suitable mounting areas on her body.

More importantly, she equipped herself with the gear without any difficulty!

Mantico scratched his head, suddenly finding it unbelievable: "All these big guys... are all for one person by your small frame?"

"Yes, that's right," Snow White said doubtfully, "Do you want to use them? Then I might need to adjust some parameters..."

"No, I don't think I can carry all this stuff around in a combat zone..."

She was a petite girl, but her carrying capacity far exceeded that of all of them present. Could this be the latest technological achievement of Dr. Pascal that has yet to be unveiled?

"Can we afford to feed this one person...?"
