Hello, Arknights

Today's exercise volume exceeded the limit by 100%! Ling Dengxian only dared to put all his strength into his feet, running with Xueya in the direction perpendicular to the rolling direction of the mudslide.

Damn, if he had this speed, would he have been questioned at the school sports meet? As the roar behind him grew louder and louder, the vibration of the ground made running difficult. It was not surprising that he occasionally ran with one foot deep and one foot shallow, making him feel that he would fall down in the next second.

As soon as the thought “I seem to be able to run out of the range of the mudslide, hahaha” came to my mind, I stepped into empty air.

The two's pupils shrank and they cried out in their hearts that they were doomed. Suddenly, a hand reached out from behind and supported Ling Dengxian. Before the two could react, Ye Ban felt his whole body lighten and the next moment he was carried on the back of another person. Almost at the same time that Ling Dengxian was rescued by Ye Ban, he was picked up like a princess and then suddenly accelerated and charged forward.

After Ling Dengxian adapted to the sudden situation, he stopped struggling and he didn't have the strength to struggle. He was aware that the other party was saving him. When he looked up, what caught his eyes was a silver mask.

"Don't look, come down and walk by yourself." A dull voice came from under the mask. Ling Dengxian then realized that they had reached a safe area. A mudslide was whizzing past not far away, and the wind it created made his hands and feet weak.

"I can't walk anymore..." Ling Dengxian sat down directly after getting off the ground. He felt unprecedentedly tired. The negative effects of physical overdraft began to appear. He suddenly felt an discomfort in his esophagus and goose bumps all over his body. He vomited all over the floor.

The little animals that were originally following Ling Dengxian closely immediately hid far away.

"Are you okay?" Xueya walked over holding a small drum. Two strangers wearing silver masks looked at each other and seemed a little confused.

"It's okay, I just feel like I vomited up the food I ate the night before—" After Ling Dengxian vomited, he felt dizzy and had no other thoughts. He just wanted to lie on the ground motionless.

At this time, several people wearing silver masks walked out from the woods on the other side. Their clothes were dark in color. Ye Ban, who was carried on his back, noticed that they hardly revealed any aura, so they were probably not weak.

"Xueya...it seems that what Feng Zhijian said is right." One of them looked at Ling Dengxian who was panting on the ground and seemed a little helpless. "We have already dealt with it over there. What should we do now?"

"Is the fishing cat in place now?" The easygoing expression on Xueya's face disappeared.

"The message came five minutes ago, and they are already in position. About ten people have also arrived at his side."

The communication terminal on a masked man's waist rang. He looked up at the sky, confirmed the natural disaster situation, and then connected the terminal: "I'm here."

"Well, is that so? Okay, thank you for your hard work. Let's meet at the planned location."

After that, he looked at Xueya and said, "Shall we go first?"

"Wait, let's leave two people behind, just the two of you." Xue Ya looked at the status of Ling Dengxian and Ye Ban, "Dengxian is probably completely out of action."

"...Okay, although we have a friendship, you should still pay me back the money afterwards." After a brief exchange, the few of them left quickly without any delay.

"It's really troublesome if they're not our own people." Xueya muttered. If they were our own small group, why would we have to pay out of our own pockets...

But everyone is at home and doesn't get together often... Thinking of this, she glanced at Ling Dengxian again, paused and said, "Are you feeling better? It's a pity that we can't rest now."

"...right away..." Ling Dengxian tried to stand up. Before he fell, the masked man reached out and grabbed him in time. He put him on his back and signaled Xueya that they could set off.

"Be careful." Xue Ya reminded him and turned back to make a way down the mountain to avoid the mudslide.

Sleeping Beast and Little Wolf Beast at the side hurriedly followed, while Xiao Gu in Xueya's arms fell silent in the face of this group of people of unknown origin. She felt that keeping silent was the best choice in this situation.

How come there are so many potential threats in Victoria? How come their country's intelligence agencies haven't found anything in all these years? They only found a strange stranger, and it was discovered by their Storm Commando while they were on a mission.

Xiaogu naturally had no idea of ​​the hidden plots and changes behind it, he just tried his best to think about it.

Looking at Xiao Gu's complicated expression, Xue Ya sighed slightly: "Don't worry about it. There have been some conflicts in Qicheng Town. We can't stay here any longer. You can rest assured about this."

"But as for the rest of this, Victoria's own problems are up to you guys to take care of yourself."

Xiao Gu didn't say anything. She didn't know what to say. If she refuted, it would not be appropriate for her current situation. After all, she was in someone else's hands now, and she was not a person who was talented in speaking. Now she could only look at her to indicate that she understood.

The masked man didn't say much, and so they went down the mountain in silence.

"This is Charles' subordinate. We have arrived at the command location. Please give us your instructions." A team of a hundred people quietly arrived at the edge of the mountain range and carefully explored the environment to confirm safety.

"Please give instructions. The trading partner does not seem to have arrived." He reported to the communication terminal with a little resentment.

"Don't say that about my friend." The voice of the person in charge came from behind him. He turned around quickly in horror and wanted to draw his knife, but was horrified to find that his knife was already in the other person's hand and was being played with.

The person in charge was all smiles, not minding at all that he was now in the middle of the opposing team. He snapped his fingers, and his team members disarmed the hidden devices in his team one by one, and stood beside the person in charge in the opponent's horrified gaze.

“I have to say that the quality of your team is much worse than the one in the mountains.” The person in charge put away his smile, “Our hiding effect is actually not very good. If you pay a little attention, you will find something wrong. I can only say... no, no, no——”

"Could it be that the people behind you are showing us goodwill? Tsk, I thought there might be a Steam Knight hiding to prevent us from changing our minds..."

The officer was sweating profusely, and tried hard to make his voice sound less trembling: "Since, if you want to eat it...then, deliver it!"

Looking at the officers who were trying hard to straighten their backs, the person in charge waved his hand lacking interest, signaling his team members to hand the things over to them.

"I still haven't met that special experimental subject... Never mind. It's not a project I'm in charge of anyway. I've been away on business for a long time. I'll go back and see if I can arrange a meal with Miss Lone Sail."

"Captain, it seems you have been blacklisted by Miss Gufan's 'underground garage'."

"..." As for the blacklist leader Xixiduoer, who had heard that he would "lock this bastard in the underground garage as soon as he had the chance", he was immediately speechless: "Am I that annoying?"

Looking back, the team members had finished handing over several boxes of "goods". Xixidor took out a document from his arms and stuffed it into the officer's hand, then turned back to signal the team members to leave with him.

"Mission accomplished." After writing this line on the holographic projection report, under the gaze of Charles' army, the team belonging to the Scepter and the Institute gradually disappeared into the air not far away.

"This is hiding..." The officer felt scared. If he had been ambushed by such an enemy before... He did not continue with this idea.
