Big Bear and the other three members of the Yeti squadron carefully inspect the sled. He kicked the sled and found it sturdy. He then sat in the spacious bucket at the back.
Alina was happy to see the big bear knocking around here and there. A sled must be sturdy. If it can't even withstand this level of damage, then the reconnaissance mission cannot be completed well.
Alina felt a little prouder in her heart, but she had to be humble because she was representing Mr. Generator.
"Alina is right,"
FrostNova didn't have too many questions about the quality of the sled. She had seen all kinds of things, and the quality of this sled was indeed top-notch.
It's just that the Yeti squadron had a habit of checking their equipment, so they checked the sled, which turned out to be a completely unnecessary step.
"Okay, I won't keep you any longer,"
Alina told FrostNova the location of the Rhodes Island safe house. "Also, Mr. Generator will keep an eye on your situation at all times. If something happens, don't panic. Stay where you are. He will send someone to find you as soon as possible."
"Relax, Ms. Alina. If we can't even bring back that group of infected people, it will be a disgrace to the guerrillas."
FrostNova coughed dryly to calm Big Bear down. It was indeed exciting to have a new sled, and she was pleased.
"This mission looks simple. If everything goes well, we will be back in the evening. Alina, don't worry."
"The infected are from Rhodes Island. The leader is called Anto, and the one following her is Lilia."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Sister Anto? The storm outside seems to have stopped."
Lilia was taking care of the operators who had frostbite. Her condition was not much better, and her legs and feet were not as nimble as before. Fortunately, the shelter was equipped with a heating module, and they also brought their heating stoves and medicines to treat frostbite, so there were no deaths.
However, the Originium fuel was soon used up. If the storm was not over yet, they would have to die here.
Lilia then smiled. The more desperate the situation, the more they should maintain a positive attitude. Rhodes Island will not leave them alone. Moreover, the storm was so big that Teacher Kal'tsit would probably organize a rescue team to help the infected on the tundra.
"Well, stop."
This time, they successfully solved the problem of infected people in the nearby villages. When they returned, they found that they could not contact Rhodes Island, and then a rare storm came.
This time, it was Lilia's turn to be surprised. A city of infected people, but this was neither Colombia nor Letania, but Ursus, where the laws were extremely strict towards the infected!
"Sister Anto, tell me you are kidding. A city of infected people appeared on the land of Ursus... Teacher Kal'tsit would probably open her eyes wide in surprise." Anto smiled. Kal'tsit was their common teacher. "...That is indeed the reaction a teacher should have." "Can you show me this letter?" Lilia took the letter handed over by Anto. The font was typed, probably printed out on an old typewriter, and the content of the letter was indeed only the few sentences mentioned by Anto.
"No, this letter...appeared very strangely."
Weird?
Lilia put away the smile on her face. Since this letter was called weird by Anto, the origin of it might not be that simple.
"What does it say?"
"About 13 hours away from here, there is a city called Steel and Fire, and they need our help."
Lilia saw that Anto was struggling. They should have returned to the ship quickly after the storm ended, but if there was an unexpected situation, such as someone needing medical assistance, Anto would immediately give up the plan to return to the ship and decisively go to help others.
But the situation this time is too special. Even Ursus may have to treat this storm with caution, as it may turn out to be another economic shock.
"They promised us food, shelter, warm clothes, and better medical care."
Lilia's expression became a little more serious. This sounded like a legitimate recruitment. She hated Ursus very much. If this were an official invitation from Ursus, she felt that she would not agree with Anto helping them.
Although doctors have a vocation, helping a group of villains may end up killing themselves, which would not be worth it.
Anto continued reading, and Lilia saw that her eyes were full of disbelief. "It claims that it is a city made up of infected people, but because of the storm, there are a large number of patients under the huge generator, so doctors need to be recruited to treat the wounded."
"A city of infected people?"
A city of infected people...Lilia repeats it in her mind again. She understood the weight of this sentence.
Before she came to Rhodes Island, she spent a long time studying every aspect of Ursus almost obsessively. She finally concluded that she would never be able to compete with the Ursus Empire, so she gave up the idea of revenge for her mother.
She had a deep hatred for Ursus, not for its people, but for the existence of Ursus itself.
"At this time, what do you think the teacher will do?"
Lilia looked into Anto's eyes. Could it be that she was the reason for the other party's hesitation?
This is the most admirable thing about Teacher Kal'tsit, and it is also what she admires. That determined back is very charming.
Anto smiled and straightened her collar. Her coat was a little bloated. "Lilia, before that city picks us up, I will try my best to contact this ship and send you back."
Lilia understood what she was trying to do. She was a little angry. Was she determined to acknowledge her as a friend?
"I can go too! As far as medical skills are concerned, although I don't have as much practical experience as you, I can still cure diseases and save lives just as well!"
She saw Anto smiling and shaking his head. That smile expresses complicated emotions. "You told me that you hate Ursus..."
"I just hate the country of Ursus, but I will still save the patients... especially the infected ones. You don't have to worry about me. There are many patients in that city, and you can't handle them all. You need a capable assistant."
Anto stopped talking. She put her hands on her hips and raised her eyebrows. She read the letter again and added after a long time, "I will still try my best to contact this ship. I will consult Doctor Kal'tsit about this matter. If she agrees, I will take you with me."
If Dr. Kal'tsit asked her to go back, she would not be able to refuse, but now that the ship knew about this situation, Anto's safety would be guaranteed, and perhaps all the infected people in that city could also be helped.
"Well, I'll listen to you."
Outside the canyon where the generator was located, Talulah followed the Patriot and walked around the area again. The guerrilla fighters follow behind them and describe the nearby terrain.
This will be used to build fortifications and set up sentries.
She and the Patriot surveyed the terrain around the canyon, and this cave halfway up the mountain caught their attention. The people of Ursus do not think deeply about what life is. They only listen to whoever can fill their stomachs and make them not worry about how to live tomorrow. Thinking cannot feed the people, and talking about meaning is of no use. The patriot looked towards the cave in front of him and saw Taimai, who had frozen to death.
"This cave was once warm." "But if we want to resist the storm, we can only go deeper. But such a warm cave cannot be an uninhabited place. There should be beasts like Originium Slugs in it." Tllulah walked some distance into the cave.
The gradually melting soil revealed a series of messy footprints. A faint smell of blood permeated the cave. She listened carefully inside the cave and seemed to hear someone whispering. "Someone got in there!"
"I... dare not assert,"
Talulah hopes that many people, especially the villagers and infected people in the tundra, can survive the storm. They can all become Mr.Generator's people and contribute to the cause of fighting Ursus.
"You are very cautious."
"We will liberate them so that they can embrace their own lives and find the meaning of life under the light of Mr. Generator."
"The meaning of life... is a luxury, they deserve a peaceful life, thank Mr. Generator."
Talulah's tail tapped the ground. She clenched the greatsword in her hand and activated her Originium Arts. The temperature around her suddenly rose.
They will increase Mr. Generator's burden, and this matter should be left to him to decide.
"Okay, I'll do as you say."
Why does the reminder of that shelved cave still pop up?
"Alina, where are Talulah and the Patriot?"
But how did they end up in the vicinity?
Alina's confusion was written on her face. Wang Zhan was also curious, but since he had found these unlucky guys, he should still rescue them. "Alina, send someone to tell Talulah and Mr. Patriot that if they can ensure that those people can be rescued without getting hurt, then go ahead."
It is not worth it to let Tllulah and the Patriot get hurt to save a bunch of unrelated people, but Wang Zhan has no idea how strong Talulah and the Patriot are, and he has no idea what's so powerful about this needle flea. The specific action can only be left to Talulah and the others to decide.
"Just a bunch of bugs, nothing to be afraid of!"
