Hello, Arknights

Chapter 309 Untitled 2

The next day, Ye Dao and Texas went out to purchase food ingredients, while Ling Dengxian prepared to lead Huang and Hei Jiao to Xicheng District to find Yan Wei to inquire about the matter. Although as the captain, he had just come into contact with the local infected group, but the Red Pine Knights did not have any major objections. After all, they had explained before that he had come to rescue the group at Plot Zero.

"Nightingale, you seem to be staying here most of the time these days. Do you need me to take you to Lin Guang to meet her?"

"Lin Guang is very busy and will cause trouble," the Sarkaz girl struggled to stand up from the carpet and picked up the staff. "However, I want to go to Plot Zero with you - you need me to contact the infected to understand the situation. After all, Bai Ge, you are not a formal medical operator yet."

Ling Dengxian thought for a moment and nodded, reaching out to support her to prevent her from falling. Seeing this, Heijiao took the wheelchair for Nightingale and went downstairs first.

"You two stay and watch over Surtr, is that ok?" He turned to the two reserve operators.

Surtel rolled his eyes, Shuangye nodded, Xinhuo hesitated for a moment, and said, "Can I go with you?"

Ling Dengxian raised his eyebrows: "Reason."

"...The possibility of needing my help outside is greater than staying at home." Thinking of Ling Dengxian's performance, he felt a little insecure.

"Don't worry, keep in touch. If there is a suitable opportunity, I won't let you idle." Ling Dengxian shook his head. This is not a team building, and too many people is not a good thing.

"...I'll listen to you." Xinhuo was not particularly insistent on going with him, so he could only nod and agree.

"Okay, let's go." After Ling Dengxian settled the people he needed to take care of, he looked at Feilin who was unusually quiet.

"Okay." The latter couldn't hide her thoughts and stared at him as if she had a lot to say, but on the one hand, she knew it was not the right time, and on the other hand, Bai Ge's attitude seemed very indifferent, which made her seem too brooding.

Huang believes that this resentment comes from her own immaturity. As an elite operator, she is aware of her own shortcomings, but at the same time, as the youngest elite operator, she knows that she still has a long way to go to overcome these problems. However, she is here as a senior operator to lead the operation. If the operation goes wrong because of her, she would be sorry for the trust of Bai Ge, Kal'tsit, and the Doctor.

She wanted to talk to Bai Ge many times, but every time the words came to her lips, she couldn't say them. Bai Ge had been very busy recently, but in the end, he always appeared where he should be when she needed him.

Looking at the figure in front of her who was carefully supporting the girl, Huang felt as if there was an invisible vortex tearing at her vision, and she immediately looked away.

"Huang? Aren't you leaving?" Ling Dengxian brought Nightingale downstairs and found that someone didn't follow them. Seeing Feilin still standing there, he turned back and asked in confusion.

"Here it comes." Huang came to his senses, stepped down from the stairs, turned over, jumped over the handguard and jumped down.

"Be careful!"

Rhode Island main ship.

"Amiya, we will soon arrive at the Great Knight's Territory of Kavaleriaki in Casimir. The expected schedule will not exceed a week... Are you ready to meet him?" The white-haired Filin touched the petite Carters' head, and there was a little more warmth in his eyes.

"To be honest, Dr. Kal'tsit, I'm a little overwhelmed. I only heard the operators' usual conversations, and I don't know what he has become now... Will he hate me?" The Carters girl standing in front of the porthole was holding the documents, feeling a little uneasy.

"He's more energetic than before, more like a young man of his age, and still passionate - you should meet him, do you need me to accompany you?"

"...Did he really lose his memory?" Amiya said a little disappointedly.

"Yes, this situation is indeed a bit troublesome, but it's okay, just let it go, it's a new life. I think those two guys are quite comfortable, but Bai Ge's interpersonal relationships are not good. It's reasonable to speculate that he will bear the consequences of his actions sooner or later." Kal'tsit couldn't help but hold her forehead when she thought of certain scenes, and then glanced at the confused Amiya, and smiled bitterly: "I shouldn't tell you this, it's not easy to understand."

Amiya smiled in confusion, but sensibly did not ask further questions. Instead, she nodded: "Then just go and meet him naturally. After all... he has been on the island for some time."

"Well, remember to act with the Doctor and keep an eye on her." Kal'tsit reminded.

"What? Are you calling me?" The white-haired doctor appeared from nowhere. It was obvious that she was looking forward to the assignment she would take away from her office work.

"I'm saying let Amiya take good care of you while you're in Casimir, Doctor. Please remember that you'll be representing Rhodes Island in the meeting with Casimir, so please behave yourself... Also," Kal'tsit leaned in and whispered, "Take good care of Amiya as well."

"No problem. Little rabbit, have you been to Casimir? I haven't been there. I wonder what interesting things will happen there?" Priss also reached out and pinched Amiya's slender ears with great interest. The latter reluctantly accepted the "attack".

"Doctor, it seems that you have abnormal hormone secretion due to lack of sleep, which has caused symptoms of hyperactivity. Doctor, I hope you can go to the medical department to rest for a while." Kal'tsit said expressionlessly.

"I don't want to go to the medical department...ah, Amiya, I forgot my lunch box in the office. I want to have lunch with you guys, could you please make a run for me?" The doctor slapped his head as if he suddenly remembered something, and asked Amiya in a slightly flattering tone.

"Okay, okay... There happen to be new operator transfers and new equipment reports in the dormitory that need your review, so I'll put the documents on your desk. Doctor, you still have a lot of work to do, so remember to finish it this afternoon." Amiya raised the documents in her hand, waved to the two of them, and turned to leave.

"Ah...work, never mind, I can't avoid it."

"Doctor, do you have something to talk to me about in private?" Kal'tsit tilted her head and looked at the white-haired lady who seemed to have something to say.

"Yes, about the white doves."

"I remember reminding you not to worry. His future may not be smooth sailing, Doctor. If you get too involved, I'm worried about your safety." Kal'tsit gave her a reproachful look.

"Okay, I won't ask this. The advance team led by Operator White Dove is led by Huang. Given her personality, is it safe?" Initially, the doctor was reserved about having Huang lead the team. Although Huang was indeed an elite operator, she was still a little young and prone to making mistakes. She still needed some training.

"We have already discussed the lineup issue. Intelligence gathering is indeed not Huang's area of ​​expertise, but it will help hone her character and is not dangerous. Moreover, with Hei Jiao Ye Dao here, the situation will not evolve to the worst. The two of them can ensure the execution of the mission and the stability of the team, and they also provide a layer of military support."

"Well, you've read the last intelligence summary. What's the conclusion?"

"After all, we can only confirm Casimir's attitude after we meet in person. Before that, no matter what information they use to test us, we should not respond. They obviously don't have a unified voice. Our arrival is just a part of the game between them."

"Alas, this job is not easy either..." The doctor finally realized that he could not escape from fatigue.

"Well, thank you for your hard work." Kal'tsit arched her eyebrows, which was rare for her. "Anything else?"

"Yes, an organization just applied for a meeting with us, but... it's a bit troublesome."

"Tell me more specifically."

"…It's the Integration Movement. They hope to cooperate with us to a certain extent. I have read the draft plan proposed. In terms of rationality, it is not impossible." Precious put on anti-blue light glasses, took out a mobile terminal from his arms and handed it to Kal'tsit. The lines of text on it were neat and polite, full of sincerity.

"But... I also know that the public opinion of the Reunion Movement is a bit subtle now. After that incident, fifteen Ursus nobles died. The Ursus side claimed that it was the Reunion Movement that did it, and they did not refute it. However, they were strangely not officially stopped from driving Chernobog out of Ursus... It should be that some agreement was reached between the two sides."

Kal'tsit finished reading the information and frowned. "But admitting to this action has also made them quite sensitive internationally. It can be seen that the Reunion Movement is indeed very serious about seeking cooperation. The production related to our cooperation with them has been cleared of the resources involved in the riots. Logically speaking, we will not be implicated in any way, but... cooperation, as long as someone has this title, it will be enough for them to make trouble."

"..." The Doctor looked at Kal'tsit with a questioning look in his eyes.

"...What's your opinion?" Kal'tsit asked back.

"No matter what, the Reunion Movement is now the largest organization of infected people in terms of actual scale. After the incident, they left Ursus and absorbed a lot of infected people. Ursus's acquiescence to their actions and the fact that they did not pursue the matter at least shows that the incident was essentially within their plan. In other words, the Reunion Movement is most likely responsible for taking the blame and has a bad reputation for the internal strife and purge of Ursus's factions.

"From our perspective, as long as the infected organization does not violate fairness and justice in principle, we have no reason to refuse this cooperation. It can be seen that the integration movement is in a state of development with a lot of work to be done, and there are many projects that can benefit both of us."

Kal'tsit carefully observed the doctor's expression as she was thinking hard about her speech. When she finally turned her gaze towards herself, asking for her opinion, she nodded: "It's basically the same as my opinion."

"But I'm more worried about your opinion, your personal opinion, after all, you almost lost your life in that city because of the Reunion."

The doctor smiled refreshingly: "Isn't it because of the white dove that things didn't develop to that stage? The 'possibility' he planted has taken root and sprouted, and what is revealed in front of us is the first step."

"We can start this work after Casimir's affairs are concluded. For now, we can provide some cost-priced drugs to the Reunion Movement to solve their urgent needs. We can have in-depth discussions and confirm related matters later. Doctor, this phase is left to you."

"Wait, so... my work for the afternoon has increased?!" Ms. White Hair realized it belatedly.

"Doctor, there are always responsibilities we have to face on this land."

"Ah ah ah..."

The communication terminal rang with a "ding dong" sound. The doctor opened the interface and found a message from Amiya: "Doctor, I will confiscate the game console you secretly hid in the cabinet. I will return it to you after today's work is completed."

"Amiya..." Misfortunes never come singly for someone who is heartbroken.

Looking at the doctor's simple performance, Kal'tsit's eyes flashed slightly, her thoughts drifted through thousands of thoughts, and finally she became a little gentler.

"If this incident ends successfully, how about you take someone on a business trip to Chernobyl to get in touch with the Reunion Movement, just as a vacation?"

Cavaleliaki, West City District.

There were three people who came to pick them up, and by chance Ling Dengxian knew them all. They were Yanwei, Huihao and Yezong.

"Flametail Knight, nice to meet you. I'm White Dove, the captain of the Rhodes Island Intelligence Advance Team."

"Captain White Dove...you're younger than I thought." The red-haired Zalak girl shook her fluffy tail, making Ling Dengxian want to pull it.

"Aren't you quite young, leader of the Red Pine Knights?" Ling Dengxian replied, looking at the petite girl.

"I'm just not tall!" Flametail said depressedly. Seeing that the topic had gone off track, Blackhorn coughed and said, "Hey, Captain Flametail, you contacted us for help before. What was the specific situation?"

"Ah! Sorry, sorry, let's talk about business first. Captain White Dove, thank you for your help last time at Plot Zero. I heard from Huang and Miss Texas that Rhodes Island came here this time to help us improve the current situation... I'm sorry, there was an accident here, so we had to come to you for help first... I'm really sorry!" Yanwei pulled his companions and the three of them bowed deeply to express their apologies.

"What's wrong? Don't be so serious. It will be embarrassing if we can't help." Ling Dengxian was a little at a loss.

Nightingale glanced at Blackhorn, who spread his hands and said, "Although it does seem a bit demoralizing, maybe I can get along well with them."

Yanwei raised his head and asked in surprise: "Are you really willing to help us?"

"Well, but we don't do anything like murder or arson. We are a pharmaceutical company." Ling Dengxian turned around to seek his companions' approval.

“…Yeah, yes.” Black Horn’s expression wasn’t visible beneath the mask, but his response was a beat slow.

"Hmm...right?" Huang looked away guiltily. She was often responsible for arson.

"Uh, it doesn't make sense..." The three members of the Red Pine Knights were ashamed.

Ling Dengxian was puzzled, but quickly put it aside: "So? We are responsible for dealing with the infected, and we can't help with water and electricity repairs."

Huimao looked at the leader of the advance team with strange eyes and whispered to himself: "What a jumping idea..."

"No... In the past few nights, someone in the infected settlement has died suddenly for no apparent reason. It's very strange and it's not an isolated case."

“I ask you to help us investigate this matter.
