Hello, Arknights

Ling Dengxian still followed Xueya forward, taking one step forward and one step back. Fortunately, they were about to leave the mountains and get away from the disaster area. He still carried Yeban on his back, as the latter's condition did not allow him to hurry on. But what embarrassed Ling Dengxian was that he and Xueya never spoke to each other again after that conversation.

Originally, he was silenced by a very easy-going girl, but to be honest, that conversation did leave him a little confused.

"Why do I feel like Uncle Du Wa and the others are keeping something from me?" Ling Dengxian was very puzzled. This feeling of being kept in the dark made him feel helpless psychologically.

"Speaking of which, Miss Yeban..." Ling Dengxian decided to talk to Yeban, "Do you regret taking this mission?"

"...Hmm?" Ye Ban perked up a little, "Do you regret it? I am helpless, but if I don't come out to take the mission, I will have no money to eat and starve to death."

"Come to think of it, do you still want to continue to carry this unstable factor with you?" As he said this, Ye Ban raised his head and glanced at a small blue-black beast that had been mixed in with the group of sleeping beasts.

"I was just about to ask you, how come your animal trainer doesn't mind a traitor sneaking in..." Ling Dengxian was also very tired. He estimated that he would have to write today's diary tomorrow, although there was a risk of giving up the habit of keeping a diary.

"Why don't you just take in another tamed beast?" Ling Dengxian suggested. Ye Ban felt a little tempted when she heard this. She had always been very obsessed with these little beasts and had her own way of taming them.

But when the blue-black little beast raised his eyes, she gave up the dangerous idea again: "No, wolf parents are very attached to their cubs. If anything happens to the cubs, they will definitely fight to the death with me. So even if I want to tame a wolf, I must choose an orphan to be safe."

Ling Dengxian thought back to the giant wolf and felt that it made sense, but this guy was too close to humans, and there always seemed to be something wrong with his eyes and actions.

"...The fur color of this wolf beast is very strange." Xueya said, "The fur color of wolf beasts in this area is quite ordinary. The blue-black wolf beast is very unusual. Combined with the recent rumors, the dangerous wolf beast can almost be said to be its father or mother."

"How long has this little beast been following us?" Ye Ban suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, realizing the danger.

"A natural disaster has broken out... Will the cubs' parents let their children run around?" Xue Ya stared at the innocent-looking little animal and reached for his waist.

"Um...you don't want to kill her, do you?" Ling Dengxian was terrified. The consequences would be a bit terrifying.

"Too much trouble." Xueya pulled out the long knife with one hand, and the small drum held by her other hand showed a little panic: "Don't mess around."

"We must drive it away. Carrying two wounded people and the smell of blood is no different from seeking death." Xue Ya whispered again, "Everyone can't..." Ling Dengxian didn't hear clearly what he said.

"Wait... I think we seem to have new troubles to deal with..." Ling Dengxian looked at the mountain wall on the right with a stiff expression. The other three followed his gaze and saw a big green tree slowly falling down and a dull and heavy roar coming from behind it.

Before seeing the main body of the disaster that was shaking the mountain wall, Ling Dengxian and the others had already started running as fast as they could. As expected, cracks appeared on the mountain wall, and then a huge amount of turbid fluid rushed down the mountain with all kinds of objects!

"I *Victoria swear* it was a mudslide!!" As Xiao Gu broke through her defense, Xue Ya picked her up without saying a word and started to speed up.

Ling Dengxian said that he really couldn't run anymore.

The monster's escape was completely unexpected by Bagpipe and the others. It looked like it was determined to fight to the death, which put a lot of pressure on them. But after a round of bombing, this guy actually escaped!

This puts more pressure on us.

"Lieutenant Dacita, please give instructions." Bruce and Lexa looked at their superior, who was injured and in a very dangerous situation in the current environment.

Raindrops streaked across Darcita's cheeks. His grudges were settled, so there was only one identity left for him, and that was to be an officer of Victoria.

"Chase! Don't leave any hidden dangers behind!"

"……Yes!"

"Rexxar, I'm sorry to have wronged you. It's too dangerous for you here now. You should take some of the wounded to the medical center."

"Report to the lieutenant! I'm fine." Rexxar seemed to be thinking about something, his eyes anxious.

"This is an order!"

"...Yes." The green-haired Liberi quickly joined the team, and soon he was evacuating with a small group of wounded soldiers and the bodies of his teammates in a direction away from the natural disaster.

"Lieutenant Horn, you and your team were able to handle that bastard when they faced him together, right?" Dacita looked very tired.

"Yes, I understand what you mean." Horn glanced at him, "It's said above that you will lead this operation, and I will cooperate."

"Then I'll leave the west to you." After a brief reorganization, the two of them set off with their respective team members. Horn looked at Bagpipe: "Bagpipe, have you met Triangle and the others?"

"No, where did the captain and the others go?"

"I had previously assigned them to investigate the movements of the Iron Eagle Mercenaries, but they never returned. I was a little worried, since you were not here either."

"But fortunately you're back in the team now. I really shouldn't have let you go on this mission." Horn looked at the dusty Bagpipe with worry in his eyes.

"Huh? Why?" The cello and bagpipe said in unison. Bagpipe said anxiously, "Didn't I complete my mission well?"

"There are too many emergencies. You are strong enough, but you still have a lot to learn. You are not yet able to handle things on your own." Horn signaled the two not to let down their guard. Seeing Bagpipe's somewhat unhappy look, he was somewhat relieved and said, "But you did a good job this time. After the mission is over, you can hold a celebration party in the dormitory when you go back."

The eyes of the bagpipe and cello players lit up, their joy evident on every word.

"By the way, Bagpipe, isn't there a stranger with you? Where is he?" Cello suddenly remembered this matter.

"Ah, as for Xiao Xian, I saw him again before. It seemed like a lot of things happened to him in a short period of time, and he grew a lot. He must be out of danger now." Fengpi and the other two began to speed up.

"Is he reliable? Although it's a bit late to ask now." Cello said seriously. She was a little puzzled that the captain didn't react.

Horn saw Cello's confusion but didn't explain. She believed that no matter how defenseless the Bagpipe was for such a long time, it should be able to tell right from wrong.

She was inexplicably confident in Bagpipe's ability to judge people.

Bagpipe obviously thought that Cello was asking whether this person was trustworthy, so he said with a silly smile: "He is much better than me in handling the details of life."

"That's not what I'm asking - forget it, since you're back there's nothing to ask. I just don't know how the triangle is doing now." Cello didn't worry about it when she saw that the captain didn't say anything. After all, she was a bit more straightforward.

"That's right...it's time for them to return to the team." As soon as the horn finished speaking, a familiar figure was seen running in front.

"Captain! Bagpipe!" Triangle was delighted. He finally met up with the captain and the others. It seemed that Bagpipe came faster.

"You are finally back, and we are all here - where is the snare drum?" Horn suddenly felt something was wrong, one person was missing.

"...I'm sorry, Captain. We were ambushed by the Iron Eagle Mercenaries before, and the snare drum and oboe were injured..." Triangle felt very guilty and lowered his head.

"What about the snare drum?" The cello was very anxious. Could it be...

Horn took a deep breath and gave them a questioning look.

"I, I handed the seriously injured snare drum to Bagpipe's...friend." Triangle whispered.

Fengdi was surprised: "You also met Xiaoxian?"

"Yes...from what he said, he seems to be a good person, Bagpipe, is he reliable?"

Cello: Why do I feel like this question has been asked before?

"Reliable! After all, he can easily distinguish between white vinegar and alcohol!" Bagpipe gave a thumbs up proudly.

“…I suddenly felt a little panicked.”
