Old Dunling is protected by complex systems and institutions. Although the storm obscured the view, Black Mountain Hospital had been in communication with the Broken Dome until the communication was interrupted a few hours ago. According to one of the disaster emergency plans, after losing contact with Arthur and the entire Black Mountain Hospital, the plan was activated and the scavenger team was dispatched.
Just like their name suggests, the Scavengers are responsible for finishing off the actions of demons, and in some special cases, they will also finish off the failed actions of the Purification Agency.
According to the Peeping System's assessment of the intensity of erosion at Black Mountain Hospital and the communications between Arthur and Gawain before they lost contact, it can be known that a wave of demons has erupted in Black Mountain Hospital, as well as the importance and geographical location of Black Mountain Hospital. The scavengers temporarily regard Arthur as killed in action, and the entire Black Mountain Hospital is also determined by them to be a occupied area.
Rather than saying they are a special force fighting against demons, it would be more accurate to say they are an army. Most of their members are retired personnel from the main force of the Purge Agency and no longer have the ability to directly fight against demons. Therefore, the scavengers mobilized Ascalon to fire at the Black Mountain Hospital to clear the way for the subsequent troops to enter.
While the rain of fire destroyed the demons, it also destroyed the buildings one by one. Countless armored iron snakes ran wildly along the rails in the storm. An encirclement was gradually formed, wrapping up the entire Black Mountain Hospital, and not letting any demon go.
"Are they trying to kill us too?"
Under the shelter, Hong Xun screamed. He thought that he might be killed by the demon, but judging from the current situation, he would most likely be killed by his own people before the demon killed him.
"That's the way the scavengers work, and they've given us a chance," Arthur responded.
"What chance? An evacuation warning?"
Red Falcon couldn't help but curse, but this time Arthur had no time to respond to him. The violent explosion set off a heat wave, and the extremely cold rainstorm just now seemed to be thrown into boiling water.
The scavengers did give them a chance, but it was not a warning to evacuate. After the Black Mountain Hospital lost contact, the activation of the plan entered a countdown. It was only after receiving no response for such a long time that the scavengers made such a judgment.
In a sense, although the scavengers are a subordinate organization of the Purification Agency, unlike the Black Mountain Hospital and the Perpetual Motion Pump, they exist completely independently and are not under Arthur's control.
This sounds strange, even shocking, but it is the truth, because the scavengers themselves are an emergency plan, when the command level is completely corrupted by demons, the scavengers will be the new purification agency to completely cleanse the corroded old things.
They are the last line of defense for the Purge Agency and the sword hanging over their heads. For this reason, they must reduce their presence as much as possible to avoid being attacked and destroyed by the alienated command layer. Therefore, the Scavengers are the only organization in the Purge Agency that has the power to use anti-memes.
As a commander, Arthur's understanding of the scavengers ends here. After all, their existence is to restrict the command level, and more intelligence is firmly protected by the anti-memetic effect.
