The voice was broadcasted.
Chen's expression visibly soured.
"I'll pretend I didn't hear that last statement."
To be honest, in Mo Zhi's eyes, Lungmen was in the wrong regarding this matter.
These people had underestimated the strength of Reunion, and misjudged Rhode Island's care for its comrades.
Fortunately,
Chen wasn't the type to hold grudges.
She knew the situation was urgent and not a time for slow deliberation.
"What's going on with you guys?"
Hoshiguma, who arrived after finishing her tasks, looked at the two of them staring intently at each other with stern expressions and was bewildered.
"Is there a mission?"
The nearly 1.9-meter tall Hoshiguma was intimidated by Chen's aura, which was only around 1.7 meters, and could only ask tentatively.
Chen: "That's right."
"Everyone, get your gear ready, it's time to move," Amiya didn't want to waste another moment. She looked at Chen with earnest eyes.
"Officer Chen, I request the Lungmen Guard Department to mobilize and cooperate with Rhode Island's rescue operation."
"There, Reunion's commander might appear—"
"Moreover, various scouting teams are fighting in places we can't see."
Chen remained silent.
Seeing this, Amiya no longer hoped for Lungmen's assistance.
She said softly, "As things stand, we have no other choice. If Officer Chen refuses, then we Rhode Island will move out unilaterally. We cannot abandon any of our teammates."
"The Guard Department will certainly go," Chen's reply surprised Amiya. "Yes, is that so?"
Amiya felt she was hallucinating.
After all,
In Lungmen's eyes, the rights and lives of Infected were insignificant.
"Then I thank you, Officer Chen, on behalf of Rhode Island. I know that for Lungmen, Infected..." Amiya immediately expressed her gratitude.
"It's a small matter," the old tsundere said.
"However, I have doubts about the combat effectiveness of the Guard Department. We will act as opportunities arise."
"If possible, we will help you, but the Guard Department's primary mission is still to deal with Reunion."
"That's enough, thank you, Officer Chen," Amiya thanked Chen again.
"I'm sorry, I have my own mission." Perhaps feeling she hadn't done enough, Chen also showed a hint of apology.
Finally, she tilted her head slightly and asked with a childlike competitive spirit,
"Doctor on the other end of the equipment, did you hear that? I will act together with Rhode Island."
Her tone was provocative, clearly showing her defiance.
"Amiya, be careful." On the communication channel, Kal'tsit directly ignored Chen's provocation, merely telling Amiya to be careful.
Two old tsunderes put on a show, neither thinking highly of the other.
This scene greatly amused the audience off-screen.
'I can't wait to see the expression on Chen's face when she boards the island and meets my Kal'dad.'
'What should I do? I want both of these tsunderes...'
'Damn it, Lingjing, just name your price. How much would it cost to forcefully marry these two wives?'
'Hehe... Kal'tsit, hehe... Chen, hehe... Hoshiguma, hehe... Doctor...'
'Damn! The guy above is really not picky, you want the Doctor too...?'
........
The viewers in the live stream suddenly started discussing intensely again, fiercely debating ownership of their wives.
"Hey, hey, hey?"
"Don't go crazy over here ┗|｀o′|┛ roar~~"
"Tone it down, lest others misunderstand our anime fandom."
Mo Zhi quickly directed a wave of combat to divert the misguided conversation.
She didn't want to incur the wrath of the platform moderators.
4-5 was slowly picking up the pace.
If not for the daily sign-in rewards accumulating enough materials to upgrade Hoshiguma and Amiya to Elite 2, she wasn't sure if she could pass.
(In the game, benefits are greater than in reality; the focus is on driving the narrative, not on spending money.)
After the battle, Amiya, along with the Doctor and others, finally reached the battlefield near Frostleaf, Jessica, and Meteorite's squads.
As everyone was analyzing the terrain and discussing tactics.
An abrupt voice shattered the harmony of the scene.
Talulah: —Tsk, it's you.
"Old Chen, what do you think—" Hoshiguma looked at Chen, who had suddenly tensed up, with countless question marks flashing in her mind. "Old Chen?"
How could it be—
From a bird's-eye view, it was evident that Chen's heart was in turmoil. Talulah's voice had struck a chord.
"—!" Hoshiguma instinctively tried to block Chen, who was about to charge out, but it was too late. "Old Chen, where are you going!"
"Damn it, she runs fast! Is that...?"
Clearly, Hoshiguma knew about Chen's past and secrets.
"I didn't see clearly either!" Amiya murmured, looking at the familiar back, "But I think that back does look like..."
Before Amiya could charge forward, a group of Reunion members suddenly appeared and blocked their path.
Chen's sudden departure left Hoshiguma and Amiya staring at each other.
Since a sandbag had appeared, why hesitate?
Let's beat him!
After dealing with the grunts in front of them, they continued their pursuit.
Soon, they reached an Originium growth area.
Here, ordinary people were very likely to contract Originium Arts.
"Next, we will pass through a section with dense Originium left by the cataclysm. Healthy individuals venturing further are likely to contract Oripathy," Amiya stopped, holding back Hoshiguma and the others.
Her delicate face was serious, "This is a very severe consequence, and as Infected, we—"
"Ha, the way you try to speak formally with that small body is quite cute," Hoshiguma's teasing carried a touch of dark humor.
???
"Eh? Eh!" Amiya was both embarrassed and angry, hopping anxiously.
After finally managing to act like an adult, being exposed by the tall sister in front of her was so embarrassing, ahhhh...
Amiya pouted, her face showing a multitude of expressions.
However, the viewers off-screen couldn't hold back their laughter.
'Damn, official吐槽 is the most lethal.'
'Hehe, Hoshiguma is quite fun, I like her straightforward personality.'
'You like a 1.9-meter iron shield, have you considered your own height? (185)'
.......
"Hahaha, don't mind it."
Hoshiguma laughed heartily, "You don't need to try to persuade me, I understand."
She turned her head to face the group of ordinary Guard Department members behind her, her aura instantly changing, "Guard Department! We will be Rhode Island's shield!"
"We won't let any Reunion member go in, nor will we let any out!"
"Let the experts on the Infected issue handle the Infected's problems!"
Communicating with someone who isn't tsundere is so comfortable.
Clean, efficient, without so many hidden thoughts.
"Inspector Hoshiguma..." Seeing Hoshiguma's decisiveness, Amiya was deeply touched.
"Just call me Hoshiguma. Chen is up to you guys, go ahead." Hoshiguma waved her hand grandly and walked towards the street entrance with her shield.
"You'd better return her to the Guard Department alive."
From afar, Hoshiguma's voice echoed in the empty street.
"Definitely!"
Amiya silently vowed, then looked at the Doctor, her tool, "Doctor, let's go."
"Rhode Island, advance!"
(Wait for me, Officer Chen...)
(Frostleaf, Meteorite, Jessica...)
(You must hold on!)
