Arknights' Lock of Heaven

It's really baffling.

Meanwhile, Rhodes Island quietly left Lungmen after purchasing sufficient supplies.

According to the secret agreement reached between Kal'tsit and Wei Yanwu, Rhodes Island will sail towards the core city.

Xia Yu stood behind Amiya.

However, his mind was clearly not on Amiya's speech, but rather on Philin standing to the side.

It's rosemary! It's a cat!!!

Rosemary's performance in the game is rather lackluster, but in reality, no one dares to underestimate her.

Who would dare underestimate an officer who has made outstanding contributions in offensive, positional, and annihilation battles?

Even though she is just a tiny film.

Noticing Xia Yu's gaze, Rosemary gave him a puzzled look.

She didn't know Xia Yu.

Xia Yu quickly gave a friendly smile.

Amiya's speech ended shortly afterward.

"Quite impressive," the professor said leisurely, holding a cup of tea. "But isn't it a bit too pessimistic?"

“No,” Amiya shook her head. “Operators have said the same thing to me before, but I’ve gradually realized that we’re not the kind of group that needs encouragement.”

"What we need is an understanding of our own behavior."

"The more difficult the situation, the more we need to tell everyone the truth."

"Mmm," the doctor nodded repeatedly, "Not bad, not bad."

"Also, when we go to the core city, we must be sure to provide assistance to Commander Chen."

Amiya lowered her head. "She was so brave. Lungmen City, infected, blood relatives, carrying such a heavy burden, yet she did not run away. She went to the core city alone."

"Betrayal, leaving home, death—she wasn't afraid of any of them..."

"She has never been a cold-blooded person, and perhaps she can become our friend."

“Before that,” Kal'tsit came to them, “Amiya, I need to transfer someone from your office.”

"Are you Mr. Xia Yu?"

“Yes,” Kal'tsit nodded, “He has given us a surprise that may make this operation go more smoothly.”

“Miss Frostnova…” Amiya hesitated for a moment before asking, “Hasn’t she woken up yet?”

“No,” Kal’tsit shook her head. “Perhaps it really is as Xia Yu said, that someone needs to awaken it with sincere feelings.”

"Hiss..." Upon hearing this, the doctor gasped.

This Kal'tsit... she actually joked??

Since I woke up, I haven't seen her smile once, especially not at all, towards me.

This made the doctor a little uneasy. Could it be that his amnesiac self had done something...unforgivable to her?

But now, Kal'tsit is actually joking in front of me?!

Is it really that she's happy to not have to face patriots?

Hearing her commotion, Kal'tsit, who was stroking Amiya's head, frowned and glared at the Doctor.

The doctor was so startled that he immediately shivered and obediently began to examine the teacup in his hand, trying his best to make himself less noticeable.

PTRS: "I feel this is getting a bit awkward. Should I turn up the temperature in the command room?"

Kal'tsit was also stunned.

How come I never noticed before that PTRS is so good at telling corny jokes?

While the PhD student was suffering, Xia Yu was playing with a cat.

In the dormitory lobby of the elite operators, Huang held Rosemary in his arms and talked incessantly to Xia Yu about just how cute Rosemary was.

“Let me tell you,” she excitedly grabbed Xia Yu’s arm, “Rosemary is just as cute as Amiya!”

Xia Yu could only offer an awkward but polite smile.

ACE wiped his shield, listening with a smile to Huang's enthusiastic narration.

Scout inspected his gun, his face full of helplessness.

Huang is just like that, very easygoing and carefree.

This operation was mainly carried out by elite operators, but Blaze was not approved because she was too badly injured in her previous battle with Frostnova.

Amiya, who was well protected by her, could go.

“Rosemary is so lovely,” Huang said solemnly, taking Xia Yu’s hand. “I’m entrusting her to you!”

"You must take good care of her in Chernobyl! My biggest worry is the little kitten."

"Don't worry," Xia Yu said, noticing the curious look in Rosemary's eyes, "I will protect her."

Just then, Kal'tsit's message came through the communicator.

"The bridge?" Xia Yu frowned. "Why are you going there to get windy so late at night?"

-

“The battle plan is right here,” Kal’tsit said calmly, handing over a stack of documents as Xia Yu suddenly appeared behind her. “Take a look and see if anything is missing.”

"Huh?" Xia Yu was a little confused. "Why do I have to see it?"

“Because I don’t know you,” Kal’tsit said casually. “I know nothing about your fighting style or your combat strength.”

"But as we can see from the Frostnova incident, you are far-sighted enough, so you want to maximize the use of the resources at your disposal to achieve your goals. I can give you the right to revise the plan according to your own situation."

"Ha," Xia Yu raised an eyebrow and took the document from her hand, "Thank you for the compliment?"

"Hmm, let me see. Let's use the sandstorm to cover our ascent of the city walls and infiltrate..."

"This is the best solution at this stage."

Kelsey nodded.

“But there are just too many uncertainties,” Xia Yu shook her head. “The steps are indeed intricately linked, but if even one link goes wrong…”

“So,” Kal’tsit said calmly, looking at Xia Yu, “I need your advice.”

"I need to know what you can do?"

"What can I do?" Xia Yu raised an eyebrow upon hearing this. "If you talk about that, I won't be sleepy anymore."

“There’s no need for so many twists and turns,” Xia Yu said, waving the document into the air.

"We should just stop at the core city."

“Lungmen can’t fire at the core city, and Rhodes Island has no such capability,” Kal’tsit shook her head.

“I didn’t say Longmen,” Xia Yu said, a slight smile playing on her lips.

"Hey, Dr. Kal'tsit, are there meteorite classifications among the natural disasters in Terra?"

70. Natural disaster! Natural disaster!

"I'm so crazy."

Kal'tsit looked up at the sky again; the clear sky was cloudless.

natural disaster.

Terrans' nightmare, even the inescapable Oripathy, is just a byproduct of Originium, like it.

How could anyone control natural disasters?

“I’m pretty good at reading faces,” he recalled the man’s nonsensical words. “The moment I saw her in Chernobog, I knew that Talulah was destined to be struck by a meteorite.”

"Judging by the time, it should be in the next day or two."

"So there's no need for all this roundabout stuff. Meteorite will handle everything. All you need to do is take Big Bear, the prisoner I brought back, and film a video of Frostnova to persuade the Patriots."

"Believe me."

Kal'tsit didn't believe him.

but……

But they had no choice but to believe him.

She also received Frostnova's medical report.

It's unbelievable that they could do that...

It's important to understand that an ordinary infected person is not the same as an infected person like Frostnova who unleashes everything within their body without restraint.

Kal'tsit never expects miracles.

She didn't like this feeling of uncertainty.
