So when the population quota is full, should he sacrifice himself?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These words are very sincere, yet they hit the core of the issue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Devon said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There are many difficulties ahead, but that's precisely why it indicates the right answer is hidden there!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After some simple bandaging, Devon and the others set out again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Confronting countless Mechanical Beasts, although they were all injured, they were exceptionally united this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This also led Wen Xishu, waiting for his teammates to return, to suddenly see the guidance \"Team Cohesion +30\" appear in his vision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu didn't know the situation, but he imagined...everyone must be extremely united now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Devon guessed right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Borg's help, they finally used hacking interference to make countless mechanical animals lose their combat targets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Borg couldn't change the deepest code layer of these Mechanical Beasts — to kill humans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But because the Mechanical Beasts had evolved into pure Mechanical Life, Borg could modify the secondary code — the defense zone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Borg could change their guarding area, making them immediately abandon patrol of that region before his group entered it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Borg's help, the team quickly advanced to the heartland.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Here lay an extremely precious glowing object.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Wen Xishu were here, as the commander, he would receive individual guidance — \"Energy Core,\" an orange item.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the mission is perfectly accomplished, this item can be permanently possessed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Compass also accurately pointed to the final trail — the Energy Core.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Borg understood; the Compass was right. He was also not wrong; if he had chosen his path, he might already be back at the tavern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But choosing this path leads to finding the key item.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although they didn't see the guidance, their intuition tells them this thing is very crucial.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I will change the defense code of these mechanical creatures, make them switch guarding areas, Devon, you steal it, Cavendish, you cover.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Devon and Cavendish nodded, and the three began to cooperate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the moment when the mechanical creatures' codes were altered, Devon started to move. Dozens of Mechanical Beasts, under Borg's control, began to retreat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But once Devon entered their line of sight, he would still be bombarded with firepower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, with the increased team cohesion, hardly any extra instructions were needed, as if Devon knew Borg's operational details; he could always accurately avoid the Mechanical Beasts' sight while advancing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few times when he almost came into contact, Borg seemed to sense it, immediately accelerating his hand speed, and turned the Mechanical Beasts away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though he had lost an arm, the agility of his movements hadn't decreased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, Devon obtained the glowing orb embedded in the mechanical stand, guarded by countless Mechanical Beasts like a piece of artwork.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Devon also breathed a sigh of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His ability is to establish a data connection; as long as the other party has a similar device, he can establish a link even with a very crappy computer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the apocalypse, his ability was not very useful… but at this moment, he seemed to be born exactly for this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The door finally appeared, not far in front of Devon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Devon immediately retreated, while telling everyone:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes, they must go quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because once the glowing Energy Core was taken, an alarm sounded instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Borg also started to accelerate his run, knowing at this moment all Mechanical Beasts' instructions are to guard this area; if they don't leave, they are sure to die.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cavendish, carrying Elsa, dashed towards the door. As he passed Devon, Devon handed the glowing orb to Cavendish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Devon stepped back because he needed to protect everyone, and as Borg brushed past Devon, Devon suddenly had a bad premonition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Devon pushed Borg fiercely, and Borg felt an incredibly strong force push him into the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, flames appeared, and a crimson beam pierced through Devon — his shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Borg even felt the surroundings starting to change, appearing with elements from the tavern, but he could see Colonel Devon being penetrated by a bullet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Borg had fully accepted this stubborn, initially stupid soldier.

Quick! Save him! Elsa, save him!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no celebration for victory in the tavern; instead, everyone got busy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elsa, almost exhaustively, unleashed her power, saving Colonel Devon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Colonel Devon's painful expression relaxed into a smile:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Heh-heh, mission accomplished.
