I don't believe he can survive.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What are you all thinking?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hacker Borg looked at the group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three shook their heads, denying his words. Colonel Devon said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What you need to do now is hack the cameras here quickly to avoid us getting gunned down. As for the commander, we trust him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Borg had to admit, the final farewell scene was very striking, but he was used to independent thinking and had truly felt the power of the Balance Curse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I think he's a good commander, but he made a mistake. He shouldn't have taken the curse for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Devon said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If I could die for him, I wouldn't mind dying. The choice has already been made. What we need to consider is how to coordinate together to break through this area.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And not to question the commander here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Devon took out the Compass:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The commander also gave us the Compass; this is his guidance. I believe if we follow the Compass, we can find critical information.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Compass gave direction, a direction that made Borg question again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Borg said coldly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, you guys know nothing. Did you see the robots in this area just now? They're all animals.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Here, animals seem to be the highest evolved beings. Humans have become slaves. These animals are not lacking in firepower, each possibly armed to the teeth.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What we need to do is avoid them as much as possible. Fortunately, the device on my computer can scan their positions.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The direction the Compass points to is wrong; that side clearly has more enemies. We just need to traverse this area to find the door.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I think you'd better come with me. Trust me, the key to this level is about using me, isn't it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Devon suddenly understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why Borg became so non-conformist once away from the commander... the commander's unique leadership ability, which Devon did not possess.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Here, the leader's charisma was also a quantified attribute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pondered, knowing the options were either violent coercion, compromise, or trying to persuade with words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Devon didn't waste time:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm sorry, Borg. I'm not a good captain; I can't make you trust me unconditionally. But please, trust the commander, trust him!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Devon bowed:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We need your strength. In a direct fight, we are sure to lose, but with you, we can avoid direct combat.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The area the Compass points to is indeed dangerous, but Borg, rest assured, the three of us will protect you with our lives.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Please!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elsa and Cavendish almost wanted to lose their temper earlier, because to them, following the Compass was a settled matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly backing out, suddenly questioning was not supposed to happen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But seeing Devon like this, they followed suit:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Please!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Borg sighed:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, since you've all said so, what can I do? Let's go.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A crisis of internal conflict was thus resolved through the unity of Devon and the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The journey afterward was not peaceful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Devon and his group encountered mechanical patrol dogs and even a giant, fully steel-covered mech gorilla.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, the area had already been dominated by animals, but all of them had evolved into mechanical beings for some unknown reason.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They deeply loathed humans, opening fire on sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their mechanization massively increased their strength, speed, and defense, in addition to the barrage of gunfire and explosions...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it weren't for Devon's freakish physique, if not for Cavendish's sharpshooting always finding the weak spots, they would have nearly died several times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even so, under the intense barrage, everyone, including Borg, got injured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Devon had an arm blown off. Even Elsa, the doctor, got shot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Borg was the least injured; he was the one heavily protected, and his computer was of utmost importance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because of this, they managed to continuously defeat the enemies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because Devon, at critical moments, established a connection with these mechanical creatures, reversing their controls and disabling the support sonar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This level, without Borg, would require extremely strong combat power, but with Borg, by following his chosen path...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They might not have been injured at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because the path differed from the one pointed by the Compass, and had nearly no guards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon finding a resting place midway, Borg complained again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the one-armed Devon said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In military operations... only unimportant areas have weak defenses. Our goal isn't just to complete the level, Borg...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Our goal is to resolve the problems, isn't it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"At critical moments, I can die... but we don't know how many levels are left.
