Arknights, please stop going crazy over the streamer's operators.

"Okay, we're a bit farther away than Wanfeng, let's try to get there before him!"

……

"Retarded thing."

Li Ji hung up the phone while cursing.

He was already halfway out the door when he suddenly received a phone call saying that the cracks were intensifying and the situation was about to get out of control.

He was the only one in the vicinity with command authority.

As the registered captain of the Rhodes Island squadron, he also had to respond to this matter.

"That crack near my house, it should be H7-4, right?"

Li Ji thought to himself as he ran back.

"I never expected this crack to suddenly move like this... It's really a headache."

They ran as fast as they could towards the return route, but the closer they got to the middle, the larger the crowds became.

There were just too many people fleeing in the face; in such a dense crowd, they simply couldn't find any gaps to speed up their run.

"too slow."

Jian frowned slightly as he looked at the congested crowd.

Without thinking, she scooped Li Ji up in her arms.

This sudden sense of being out of place left Li Ji momentarily stunned, and he stared in astonishment at the mace that had picked him up in a princess carry.

"You might feel a little weightless, hold on tight, we're about to speed up."

With a low, angry shout, she propelled herself into the air, walking on the various signs along the edge of the wall.

Perhaps it was because of the cushioning material on her chest that Li Ji didn't feel too much jolt.

The two sped through the low sky like a hovercar hurtling around.

Even the evacuating crowd couldn't help but chuckle as they watched the man and woman going in opposite directions in the sky.

But Li Ji wasn't thinking about that; instead, he was preoccupied with...

"Wait, why am I the one being princess-carried?!"

He shouted in his mind, puzzled.

Since Li Ji came into this world, he has never suffered any setbacks.

But this small action of his today caused him to feel a strange sense of frustration.

At that moment, Li Ji understood something.

He probably needs to work out more.

P.S.: I'll reflect on my writing style again tonight.

Chapter 48: Warfarin

Jian used one hand to support Li Ji and slowly put him down.

"Are you okay?"

"It's nothing, I just feel a little carsick. It's the first time I've ever been carried in a princess carry, and it's quite a painful experience. I feel a little sorry for the heroines in anime..."

This was the first time Li Ji had experienced the difference between Terrans and ordinary people.

He doesn't usually feel anything when reading novels or watching game storylines.

But now, if we compare him to a mace.

That mace, with its terrifying six dimensions of three outstanding and two excellent, is like a superman fighting an ant.

After getting out of the mace's arms, Li Ji patted his slightly dizzy head.

He looked at the creeping crack not far away and felt a chilling aura.

An indescribable tension filled the air, and with each opening and closing of the crack, Li Ji could feel that eerie power.

"This is the crack?"

This was Li Ji's first time attacking the Rift offline.

"Is this the crack that caused the invasion? It gives me a familiar feeling, but I can't remember where this feeling comes from."

Jian raised his eyebrows and looked over.

"A familiar feeling?"

Jian looked at the crack, thought for a few seconds, and then replied, "Yes... there may be a conclusion in the future, but at least there is no time to think about it now."

Jian tossed his disheveled hair behind him and revealed an expectant smile:

"So you're planning to just the two of us go in? That's quite a challenge."

"Two people...it's still a bit of a stretch, isn't it? I'm still waiting for someone. When you were carrying me and running, I called other people over."

Li Ji did not rush in. The rift had not yet collapsed, and he still had time to wait for his teammates to arrive.

"other people?"

Jian tilted his head slightly, "Texas and Yato?"

"No, he's also your old teammate."

Li Ji pointed to the open space to the side, where a Sarkaz was slowly walking over, looking around.

Her pale skin and hair clearly indicated her identity as a blood demon.

"Warfarin?"

"Hey, isn't this the mace? It's been a long time... but it doesn't seem like that long. You just had your employee health check-up the day before yesterday."

Just now, Li Ji used the Ark of Tomorrow system to temporarily summon Warfarin here for a day.

H7-4 is not a very difficult map. Once you can deal with the Patriots' Formation, the other mobs will become relatively easier.

Now that Li Ji has the mace, the Patriots Formation is no longer a problem for him.

Therefore, he doesn't need to think about summoning other operators... after all, it would cost too much money.

Although Li Ji had just discovered it.

Because of the increased invasion level, the cost of recruiting and summoning operators has been reduced by half.

But the price was still beyond what Li Ji, a penniless man, could afford.

It's not that we can't afford to be in the spotlight, it's just that warfarin offers better value for money!

But Warfarin, standing to the side, thought differently.

"Dr. Wanfeng, shouldn't you go see Dr. Kal'tsit first? If she finds out, I'm going to have a lot of trouble these next few days!"

After greeting Jian, Hua Falin went straight to Li Ji to complain.

"You have no idea, after Yato went back, they did something..."

Warfarin seemed to realize that she couldn't talk about it, and immediately shut her mouth.

"What did you do?"

When Li Ji saw Warfarin suddenly shut her mouth, he instantly sensed that something was wrong.

"I got a cake... I got a cake and asked you to bring it over! Things happened so suddenly today that I didn't bring it with me, but I'll definitely bring it for you next time I come."

"???"

Although Li Ji didn't know what they had done, he could tell from Warfarin's tone that it wasn't anything good.

……

"Wanfeng! How is it?"

Suddenly, a terrifying sound came from afar.

"You arrived so quickly?"

Wan Feng was quite surprised, after all, he had been carried by Jian all the way here, and despite the traffic congestion, Bu Wei and the others were only a little bit behind him.

"Huh? You didn't know? The union has rescue helicopters... There are also helipads near the rift, just for these special times."

Fear also gave a strange look. "Didn't you walk to the nearby union and then fly over? You couldn't have run this fast under the circumstances, could you?"

"Hahaha, of course, I flew over too!"

Li Ji chuckled awkwardly twice.

He did fly here, but his mode of transportation was a little different.

"What kind of operators are you currently lacking? We'll try our best to find some for you."
