Arknights, Suika's Messenger Journey

Just as the two were chatting, there was a commotion ahead.

"Oh, it seems we really have encountered bandits. Let's go and see what's going on."

After saying that, without waiting for Dobby to stop her, Suixiang jumped out of the carriage and jumped to the car in front.

She had originally planned to do something big and let Dobby see her skills, but when she saw the robbers blocking the road, Suika fell silent.

Because the "robbers" blocking the road were about ten children, the tallest one was less than 1.5 meters tall, and the shortest even looked only about 1 meter tall.

The props they used to block the convoy were several branches five or six meters long and as thick as arms. Their weapons were ordinary wooden sticks and farm tools. They didn't even have a single regular weapon.

What they wore wasn't clothes at all, but a patchwork of fur, leaves, and random bits of fabric.

It looks very bloated and a little funny.

But no one at the scene could laugh.

Looking at those children whose faces had turned blue from the cold, even the brave warriors hired by Dobby could not bear to do anything.

Dobby ran to the front panting and saw that the children had also fallen silent.

Suika looked at him and he shook his head

"We can't take these children away... They are all from Ursus, and the Ursus officials will not allow us to take them away."

"So what should we do? Kill them or watch them starve to death?"

Suika felt very uncomfortable, as if she had power but nowhere to use it.

"We brought a lot of food and clothes this time. Leave some for them. We can make sure these children can survive this winter even if they save some."

Dobby thought for a few seconds before making his choice.

Suika rubbed her brows and said, "What is going on?"

"There's nothing we can do. After the war, the elderly and children have the hardest time surviving, especially in a place like Ursus, where the winters are too cold."

Dobby sighed as he ordered his men to leave some food and clothes behind.

"Do you have any broth left from this morning? If so, could you please bring up a pot?" Suixiang looked at Dobby. Dobby asked his men beside him, and soon a chef came over with a pot of broth.

Suixiang took the cauldron and used her ability. In less than a minute, steam began to rise from the frozen iron cauldron.

Dobby brought some bowls and followed Suika to the children.

"Eat something first... then take this food back home. Don't go out in the winter... you'll die."

The leading child looked at the pot of hot soup in Suika's hand, looked at his companion who was swallowing his saliva, and knelt down suddenly.

"All of you uncles and sisters are good people. I, Ularov, thank you all on behalf of the children of Golden Fir Tree Village."

"Golden Fir Tree Village? Are you from Golden Fir Tree Village? How did it become like this? Where is old Troyev, the village chief?"

Dobby asked with his eyes wide in disbelief.

Chapter 331: Encounter, Conflict (?)

"Wow, Grandpa Troyev...he..." When the children heard Dobby mention the village chief, they burst into tears.

After a while, I finally learned the truth from their intermittent words.

Three months ago, when the Golden Fir Tree Village was celebrating this year's harvest, a group of infected people rushed into the village with weapons.

At first, the villagers thought they were here to buy food, but they had no such intention at all.

After the negotiations failed, those people not only stole all the food reserves in the village but also infected everyone.

The children here were all those who were lucky enough to escape from the Golden Fir Tree Village at that time. As for the others, they were taken away by the group of infected people and no one has heard from them for a long time.

Although the first two months were difficult, they could still find a lot of food in the autumn, so the children could barely survive. But when winter came, food became difficult to obtain, and the children had no plan to store food. When they returned to Jinshanshu Village, they found that it had been looted and nothing was left for them, causing them to have to live on almost only ice water these days.

They had no choice but to choose the last resort of "robbery".

After all, if they can't get food, they will all die this winter.

After hearing what the children said, everyone fell silent.

Dobi and Suika exchanged a glance, and both guessed the identities of those who attacked the Golden Fir Tree Village - members of the New Reunion Movement.

"Since they are acquaintances, we can't just leave them here so easily. How about we go to that Golden Fir Tree Village and take a look?"

Suika looked at Dobby and suggested.

Dobby thought about it and nodded.

"Golden Fir Tree Village is right on our route, so there's no need to take a detour."

When the others in the caravan heard that Dobby was going to Golden Fir Village, they all agreed.

After all, the caravans that came here were all from the Shi Huaiya clan, and they had been in and out of the Golden Fir Tree Village several times. They were deeply impressed by the hospitality of this village. Now they learned that this village had encountered an accident, adults were abducted, and children were about to be frozen to death in the winter snow. How many people could really remain indifferent?

Hearing that the caravan was about to go to Golden Fir Tree Village, the young man in the lead wanted to go with them.

"Of course. No matter what Golden Fir Village becomes, it will always be your home. It makes sense for me to go there with you.

Let the children get into the carriage!"

After Dobby arranged for the children to get on the empty carriage, the convoy slowly continued to move forward.

"Miss Suixiang, it seems this trip to the exhibition is not going smoothly. The head of the family specifically warned us when we came here that if we encounter any trouble..."

Before Dobby could finish speaking, Suika nodded.

"Don't worry, this matter has something to do with me. Even if it's just an ordinary person passing by, they wouldn't remain indifferent after hearing about what happened to those children.

The guys from the New Integration Movement were too ruthless. This would never be accepted by any of the Terran tribes, anywhere, at any time."

If the Reunion Movement is a clear-minded fighter for its own interests, then the Reunion Movement controlled by Black Snake in the memory of the game is a fearless fanatic, and the new Reunion Movement now is a madman who has completely lost his mind.

Before dark, the convoy entered the Golden Fir Tree Village and, led by the children, checked into the largest village hall.

After entering the village, Suixiang silently looked at the houses covered by wind and snow. Although they were no longer inhabited, their appearance was still recognizable. She couldn't help but sigh. Even though it was deserted, she could still imagine how beautiful this place was a few months ago.

But under Kosice's evil hands, the peaceful village was destroyed.

Just as the convoy was preparing to rest, Suixiang noticed a team appearing to the north of the village.

From the route they were taking, it could be seen that their target was also this village.

She immediately told Dobby the news.

"How many people are there across the street?"

"I'm not sure, but there are probably about a hundred of them, and they're less than a kilometer away from the village." Cuixiang didn't have the ability to explore a wide area. She realized that those people were a group of little Cuixiangs she had released after landing because she was worried. Among them, the little Cuixiangs flying north saw the approaching team.

After hearing what Suika said, Dobi looked at the weather. It was impossible to leave in this situation. Moreover, it was going to be dark soon. It was dark and winter. Even if they were well prepared, if they couldn't find a place to shelter from the wind, everyone would probably become ice sculptures tomorrow. So they could only stay here.

It was impossible for so many people and carriages in the caravan to hide. He immediately called his men to discuss and the carriages were surrounded outside the village hall. The guards of the caravan hid behind the carriages with weapons in hand, and surrounded the village hall tightly.

In less than ten minutes, the first figure appeared on the road in the distance.

The figure was obviously stunned when he saw the movement from the village hall, and then more people came out from the other end of the street.

Dobby looked in the direction of the wind and snow, his expression changed several times, and then he ordered his men to put away their weapons.

"They are wearing Ursus military uniforms, they should be Ursus soldiers..."

Dobi explained to Suika beside him.

"It's better to be safe. After all, those guys can't do anything. What if they disguise themselves as an army..." Suika took a glance and agreed with Dobby's opinion. However, her familiarity with the Ursus army was limited, and her memories were basically stuck in the few previous battles with the enemy in Ursus.

She felt that it was too much of a coincidence that the caravan happened to arrive here in this snowy and icy place and happened to encounter the army.

"I'll negotiate. If you encounter any danger, I'll trouble Miss Suixiang for help."

After hearing this, Dobby made a gesture to his men, and they picked up their weapons again after seeing Dobby's action.

Meanwhile, Dobi and Suika walked out of the defensive circle and headed towards the approaching army.

"Who are you and why are you here?!"

After seeing the two approaching, someone in the army asked very rudely.

"Hello, soldiers. We are merchants from Victoria. We are ordinary people coming from Victoria to Donetsk to buy goods. This is our entry certificate."

Dobby held up the immigration documents above his head with both hands to show that he was not a threat before slowly walking up to the other person.

An officer walked out of the team, took the document, looked at it, and after confirming that it was correct, he continued to ask

"You are so brave! There is no one left in this village, and you still dare to stay here."

"Sir, our original plan for today was not to stop here, simply because..." Dobby repeated the news he heard from the children he met on the way.

Chapter 332: True and False Soldiers

After hearing this, the officer's expression was very solemn.

"Such a thing actually happened here. We thought that the Golden Fir Tree Village chose to evacuate after hearing the news of the natural disaster.

But there haven't been any natural disasters here, so I came to see if there was any problem."

"Where are you soldiers planning to stay tonight?" Suixiang suddenly asked.

"There are so many rooms around here, we can just get a few clean and windproof ones to make do for one night." The officer said disapprovingly, but his eyes were fixed on Dobby.

Dobby felt his scalp tingle when he felt his gaze.

After all, the largest and most windproof room in the entire village is the village hall.

But now it is occupied by myself.

However, if so many people from the other side want to go in, I'm afraid that all of us will have to retreat, and the windbreak wall made of carriages that we have just built will also have to be moved away to make way for these soldiers... Well, they don't have camels?

Dobby was still worried that the camels on his side would be driven into the snow and ice to make way for the military, but he was shocked to find that the opposing army was all on foot.

However, as a civilian, he did not dare to conflict with the military. He could only think with an embarrassed look on his face about how to tell this matter to his subordinates.

"Dobby, what are you thinking about? Go back and tell everyone to pack up their stuff. We can't let the soldiers live in those little houses!"

Suika's voice came from the side, and he realized that it was not the time to think about things. He nodded and walked to the back under the unfriendly gaze of the officer.

Just as he had just entered the wall of the city surrounded by his own carriage, an angry shout suddenly came from behind.

He turned around and saw Suixiang grab the officer's neck and throw him directly towards the army behind him. The officer fell to the ground motionless and seemed to have stopped breathing.

After seeing Suixiang take action, the crossbowman hiding behind the carriage subconsciously shot several crossbow arrows in the direction of the army, taking several people away.

Dobby's face was filled with bitterness when he saw this, and he had originally wanted to say that his group was going to be killed.

But after seeing the situation on the battlefield, he found something wrong.

"Boss, the way those guys fight doesn't seem like a military!" Just when he was confused, the words of the person next to him made him realize why something was definitely wrong with him.

The fighting of these Ursus soldiers was not organized at all. They were more like a bunch of untrained idiots than an army.

Even the guards of their master knew how to form a formation to meet the enemy, but the enemy was indeed a mess.

At this time, Dobby's mind was in a mess and he hadn't reacted to what was happening. Outside, Suika had already killed those people and made them defeated.

Just now, when Dobby was about to walk in, Suika turned her head and looked at the "Ursus soldiers" approaching not far away with a cold look.

"There is something I'm curious about. Can you help me solve it, sir?" Suixiang looked up at the officer and asked softly.

"Ah, what is that?" The officer was stopped by Suixiang and subconsciously wanted to push her away.

But what Suika said next made him feel cold all over.

"When did the Ursus army start recruiting infected people? Or an entire army of infected people?"

When he heard Suika's words, his pupils shrank and he subconsciously wanted to draw his weapon and chop at the woman in front of him.

But before he could act, Suixiang took a step forward and grabbed his neck. The next second, he felt a pain in his neck and then lost consciousness.

After throwing the disguised officer into the crowd like a rag doll, knocking down several people, Suixiang no longer hesitated and rushed into the crowd.

Although she did not take out a weapon, even if she just relied on her strength and the effect of the great river and mountain storm brought by her fists, these people could not withstand it.

As for whether she would make mistakes when killing these people, such as if they were members of the Reunion, Suixiang had no pressure at all.

Because from the moment they met, the malice and bloodiness of these people made her feel nauseous.

People in the Reunion Movement would not harbor such a degree of malice towards ordinary people, and if she were to be killed, there would be no psychological burden.

They are not members of the Reunion Movement, but are infected and have such strong malice. So it is self-evident that these people are the guys from the New Reunion Movement.

After killing these guys, Suixiang no longer felt any burden.

Every time she swung her fist, the wind she created could blow dozens of people into the air and then knock them down.
