Hello, Arknights

"Count the losses, how is the situation?" The commander of the Ursus army wiped the blood off his mask, with traces of shame and anger on his face. It was just a village patrol against the infected, why was he ambushed by the Reunion Movement? !

They were actually defeated by a group of infected people!

"That monster...even the reinforcements of the Fourth Group were defeated by her!"

"If you ask me, maybe we should wait a little longer until the Empire's Vanguard arrives..."

"We won't even wait until then before we turn into ashes!"

"Where's Tagli? That guy is in charge of weapons maintenance! Why doesn't he come to help?!"

"...He's dead. The latest bounty decree has put bounties on some of the faces of the Reunification Movement. That bastard has a father who's in debt and a sister who's still in school. He's at the forefront..."

"Ah, it's quite pitiful..."

"What a pitiful ass! He is a scumbag *Ursus swear word*. The last infected person he caught was skinned alive by him!"

"Shut up, everyone!" The officer kicked the snow-covered tree above his head viciously. Before he could react to how stupid his action was, the cold snow hit him all over the head and face.

"What are you looking at? Form a team! Take a detour and join up with the Fourth Army!"

"But sir, the east side seemed to have said there might be someone infected..."

"*Ursus swears* There are only a few of us left. If you miss, go ahead! Keep your life so that you can have another chance!"

"Go further east and take a detour from the second valley entrance!"

There was a sound of twigs trampling in the snow.

"We've been discovered. Everyone, change direction immediately and run to the southeast." The officer whispered the order, and at this moment the desire to survive of all the patrol members reached its peak.

Snowy forest outside the village to the east.

A crushed empty can was thrown onto the already red snow. The thugs turned the red basket upside down, swearing, but could not find any more food.

"They are all canned fruits and some dried vegetables and fruits..." The thug kicked the basket to pieces, his eyes red and furious, "Don't you *Ursus swear* eat? You thought you could get something to eat by catching a lone person in exchange for food, *Ursus swear*!"

"Ahem..." All the red on the snow came from Elafia, who was lying on the ground with blood still gushing out of a broken elbow. Compared to the scars on her forehead and other parts of her body, the broken arm was even more shocking.

"Brother, if we continue to be hungry like this, we really can't hold on..." Another thug held a knife with a gloomy look in his eyes.

"I heard that the Reunion Movement was the savior of the infected, so I hoped to make a living there... but in the end I just starved in another place! I might as well be a bandit..."

"Wait, you two... Isn't there still some meat here..." An infected thug who didn't get any cans cast his malicious eyes towards the broken arm of the girl who fell on the snow on the other side...

"... You *Ursus swear*, you're so bold! Open your dog eyes and see that it's a human hand! Are you crazy with hunger?!"

"... Crazy... Maybe, we *Ursus swear* don't eat as much as you two bastards! No one wants to starve to death!!"

Seeing him and the others with green eyes behind him, the two thugs became a little scared.

A wolf howl came from far away, and all the thugs looked blankly at the snow outside the forest. A blue-black figure was approaching quickly, and flames whiter than snow surged. A figure jumped up, and streams of white flames gathered behind him and merged into two "wings" for him to glide at a high speed!

"...scum." As it fell, Yan Yu spun like a storm and raged towards the thugs. The man who walked out from the center of the white flames had anger in his eyes.

The Devouring Sin shook for a moment, and the shadow of the unicorn merged with the white flame, and the roar shook the thugs' lungs.

“Attack!” I don’t know which thug reacted first, more than 20 thugs rushed up with knives in hand.

"Texas! Take her to the west! I can only stop the bleeding first. After all, I am not a doctor." Ling Dengxian clenched his palm and white flames enveloped Elafia's body. The next moment, the Red Lotus Devouring Sin was held in his hand!

The phantom and the red sword energy fell down with a loud bang.

Maybe the mob was not that powerful, but Ling Dengxian could hardly contain his anger.

Even though he knew this would happen, he still tried to find out information and search for her along the way to save her... But when he saw that hint of red from afar, he knew he still couldn't save Alina.

One can only hope it's not too late.

Rupert, who was traveling with them, said nothing. He just picked up the girl wrapped in white flames, jumped onto the back of the adult Chi Yu, and sped away.

She was not surprised at all, because she saw it when Lapland was brought back by Chi Yu that day.

On the other side, the battlefield was filled with frost and snow melted by the high temperature.

"You even beat back the Fourth Army's reinforcements... You're really Tallulah!"

"Where are our infected compatriots?" The silver-haired dragon girl was more concerned about this.

"It's settled in. The backup base we prepared earlier is useful."

The dragon girl was worried and asked again, "Have you counted the number of people?"

"I've counted them. There are a few children crying and saying that their sister hasn't come back yet... Alas, this kind of thing is even quite common..."

The infected warrior noticed that something was wrong with the silver-haired leader's expression.

At this time, the heavily armored shield warriors quickly arrived: "Talulah! Just now, the scouts found traces of the remaining infected pickets in the east!"

"What?!" The dragon girl was shocked. She remembered that this morning Elafia said that she would go to the village in the east to exchange some fruits and vegetables for the soldiers to ensure their nutrition...

"Tallulah?"

"Wait! Where are you going, Tallulah?!"

The silver-haired figure did not answer. She just prayed that the worst outcome would not happen.

run.

Her running came to an abrupt halt because she saw a flying figure. After experiencing a great ups and downs in her emotions, she quickly regained some of her sanity. The infected warriors and shield guards who reacted much slower than her also immediately rushed up vigilantly to prevent any accidents.

The blue-black hurricane, with a cold wind blowing in its face, spun its tail and stopped at a safe distance. Only then did the Dragon Girl see Rupert riding on the back of the black wolf and the bloody shadow in her arms.

"Who is Tallulah?" (Yan Yu) Rupert jumped off Chi Yu's back holding the dying girl in his arms and landed steadily without any unnecessary trembling.

"...Alina!" Tallulah saw the person in her arms and her eyes turned red as she was about to rush over.

"Stop!" (Ursus) As Rupert shouted, the huge black wolf bared its sharp teeth to intimidate the dragon girl.

Tallulah paused for a moment, her eyes showing a little more calmness, but at the same time she grasped the sword at her waist: "I am. Please give the person in your arms to me." Her tone could even be considered a growl at the end.

"Sorry, he told me that I had to hand her over to you." After confirming Tallulah's eyes, Luper immediately handed Elafia to her.

"Alina!" When catching Alina, Tallulah noticed her missing forearm. Her gray eyes trembled violently. The wound had stopped bleeding and miraculously showed signs of healing.

"Doctor! Hurry! Where is the doctor!" Tallulah picked up Alina without delaying for a moment. In a detail that no one noticed, the already very weak white flame on Alina's body suddenly turned into a ball of fire, and then slowly went out weakly.

Texas completed his instructions, signaled that he had no hostility in the eyes of the shield guards and infected warriors, and took a step back to keep a safe distance.

"...Thank you for your help, my friend. I haven't asked for your name yet." Finally, the shield guard felt that he could not ignore the visitor, so he recalled the words Tallulah had used before and expressed his gratitude to Rupert.

"Nothing. If you want to thank him, wait until he comes over." Texas shook her head. She was indeed a little confused as to why the white pigeon was galloping all the way as if it had a clear goal, but that was not important. "Name... Just call me 'Black Wolf'."

"Okay, Miss Xuanlang...you just mentioned 'him'? Do you have other companions?" The infected warriors caught a message.

"Well, he's still dealing with the gang of thugs that caused that girl to be in this state now."

"What! In which direction?! We have to go help!" the shield guard was furious.

"He can handle that level, don't worry." Texas was very sure that if there were no eight Ursus Vanguard-level enemies appearing at the same time, they would not threaten Bai Ge's life.

It’s hard to say whether he can be beaten or not, he is really tough.

But even after waiting for nearly half an hour, the white pigeon still didn't return. The shield guards sitting in the camp were anxious: "Could there be an accident?"

"It seems that the remnants of the patrol team are heading that way as well."

The Rupert girl was indeed surprised. At this time, Chi Yu shook his tail, and as if he had just remembered something, he raised his paw and scratched a line of words on the snow:

He didn't seem to know the way.

Texas was silent, thinking carefully... On the way here, Bai Ge got the news and identified the direction...

"Let's go check it out..." Rupert had already noticed Tallulah's appearance, but she subconsciously raised her guard in the face of a dangerous person, "I also want to... know who it is..."
