Hello, Arknights

Chapter 222 Anger

"Big Bear, where is Talulah?" Frost Star felt more and more uneasy. Perhaps it was because she often heard White Dove muttering some inexplicable questions, which caused her to wonder from time to time what was wrong with the country of Ursus.

The nobles persecuted them because they were afraid that the infected people would pass on the mineralogy to them. But what about the scholars and researchers who had learned professional knowledge?

Their funding was withheld, their research results were seized, and they could only rely on the nobles. Naturally, it was impossible for them to speak for the infected.

What about the civilians who are in a similar situation to the infected and are suffering from exploitation and oppression?

Why don't they like us? Why are there only a few who show goodwill?

Frost Star felt that this was so complicated. She had learned so little and was shrouded in this confusing mess.

Tallulah and White Dove, one is a comrade who inexplicably becomes violent and evil, and the other is a man of unknown origin who shares life and death with her in the snow... What?

Best friend? She didn’t know his name; admiration? She knew the difference between north and south; sibling? He wasn’t there at the moment.

"For now, we have to find Tallulah first... to prevent something irreparable from happening."

"Sister! Just now a brother said that the leader went to the square of the core city half an hour ago... and seemed to have ordered some citizens to be gathered together..."

"Something's going to happen!" Shuang Xing acted immediately, "Yang Ge! Come with me, the others stay here and wait for dad to come and pick them up!"

"Big sister, wait for me!" Yang Ge picked up the long knife that was emitting cold air and hurriedly followed. He looked back with some concern. He naturally didn't know what the big sister was thinking. He also hated the mine guards who killed them for fun and the villagers who tortured their fellow villagers... but these were nothing compared to the big sister. If anything happened to the big sister, they would not be able to accept that outcome.

After the initial strong desire for revenge after stepping into this iron jungle subsided, they felt a sense of disharmony.

Sarcophagus Research Institute.

The hall was stained with blood, and there were some scattered pages of documents left during the transportation. There were also some corpses in the corridor of the institute, some wearing masks of the Reunion Movement, and some wearing white coats. Kal'tsit signaled the operators who were clearing the way to be careful.

"I'll take the lead on the following road. Ace, please support the flank. Bagpipe, be alert. Be careful."

The environment in front of her slowly overlapped with her gray memories. The film woman opened the password door and was very happy that Sergei did not change the password because of her departure.

She originally opened up a way for Ursus to solve the problem of food and clothing for the people throughout the country. However, a few years later, Ursus only had a few more heavy artillery models that were classified as confidential.

She had nothing to say, because they were also transported to the north, but Ursus's external frictions also increased suddenly. The most direct impact was the border battle of Ursus Casimir.

The number of people who froze to death during the winter did not decrease. Instead, there were thousands more corpses lying in the frozen soil.

Jumping out of the dust of the past, she had already completed inputting the startup program instructions for opening the sarcophagus.

The tightly closed "door" slowly opened, and a figure wrapped in a black hooded outfit appeared in front of everyone after the diffuse white mist dissipated. Fengpi looked curious, while Ace and other senior operators revealed an indescribable look.

The Doctor, a leader who once controlled the overall situation, was knowledgeable, but had a confusing temperament.

He was severely injured in the large-scale operation and could not be cured by ordinary medical means. He was taken away by Kal'tsit and sent to this "sarcophagus" to recuperate.

"...Kal'tsit? Why... am I here?"

Kal'tsit was stunned. The other party's language system recovered faster than she thought.

"Have you recovered from your previous injuries?" she asked with concern.

"Injured... When have I ever been injured?" The 'Doctor' raised his head, his eyes a little cloudy under the hood.

"You... no, how could it be... Do you still remember about the Sarkaz?" Kal'tsit thought of a possibility and asked the Doctor for confirmation vigilantly.

"What are Sarkaz?"

“… Stop joking. What you are using now… is the language of the Sarkaz.” Kal’tsit’s eyes suddenly turned cold, and she placed her hand on the screen of the instrument.

"...Isn't this the language you use?" The doctor was stunned, and finally realized that the language he used was not the same as the language of the person in front of him, "Huh...Why do I speak this language (Ursus)...Kal'tsit, why do I only remember you (Victorian)?"

"you……"

"Boom!!" A loud noise was heard along with a violent shaking of the research institute. Ace reflexively stepped forward and raised his shield to protect the two from possible danger.

"Doctor Kal'tsit, I'm afraid we can't delay too much time. The natural disaster seems to be coming faster than we thought."

"But with the Doctor here, there shouldn't be any problem evacuating in time, right?" His team member Little Mary looked at the former legend. The stories that were often mentioned among those elite operators gave her a little confidence to say this.

"...This is also an unexpected situation that I was going to tell you...The doctor seems to have lost his memory for some unknown reasons."

"what?!"

Core City Square.

The scene, which was in stark contrast to the fiery red and dark scene in the sky, flashed a mysterious light in the eyes of the Ursus refugees.

"Yelena...are you determined to stop me?"

The dragon girl, dressed in a dress with a destructive style, tilted the sword in her hand to the ground, looking down at the white-haired Carters who was driving the cold air to compete with her.

Her eyes were a little dazzling.

"...I originally came to you to ask you where Baige had gone, but...why were you hiding from me?"

Frost Star gasped, it was just ten moves... This guy was really serious with her. How much had she let him off in their usual sparring?

"Hide? No, no, no... I just need to deal with more important things first. It is more important to light the flame of the integration movement than to find a traitor."

"Traitor?! Beacon fire?!" Frost Star looked at the fuel prepared in the square and the crowd that was driven and tied up in the central open space with an incredulous look.

"No flame is brighter than the fire that burns the sinful soul."

"Aren't those nobles... more suitable?"

"I didn't let them walk out of the building or the shelter alive." Tallulah smiled slightly, with a hint of feminine charm that was usually hard to detect.

"So, now that your question has been answered, can you please step aside now? Or do you intend to protect these...enemies who framed and massacred our compatriots?"

"What answer? White Pigeon... How could it be a traitor!?"

"You really trust him... You even trust me?" Tallulah stretched out her hand to her. "Have you forgotten who stood by you when you were being chased by the enemies behind you? Who sat beside you when you were sick in bed? And where is the man you trusted, the traitor... who infiltrated the Reunion for unknown reasons and hunted down my team that went to exchange for supplies?"

"Recognize your enemy, Froststar, and set a good example for Mephisto and the others." Although the two young men cowering in the team were afraid, they still cast worried glances at Froststar.

"The enemy...the ones chasing us are soldiers from the Ursus Army, minions of the nobles."

"They can become one, but the fact is, they not only curry favor with the powerful, but even without any background, they will still choose to slaughter our compatriots! Frost Star, think about those compatriots who died tragically in the empty granary! They are not even willing to drive away the infected!"

Frost Star was speechless and she subconsciously shifted her gaze. Tallulah's eyes fixed and she immediately drew her sword. Invisible flames pounced on the distracted Carters. The latter hurriedly cast a spell to defend himself, but in such a hurry he was still unable to withstand Tallulah's determined attack.

"Big sister!" Yang Ge was furious and swung a long sword with an icy aura, pointing it directly at Tallulah who had never even looked at him. The blades collided in a flash of ice and fire. Yang Ge looked closely and found that the person who blocked him was a familiar figure wearing a fiery red scarf.

“Red Knife!!”

"Shut up!" Red glared at him and whispered, "Do you want to die? Waving a knife at that humanoid disaster is just asking for death!"

"You can't just stand by and watch!"

The ice shattered and the fire flashed. The Ursus infected warrior who was protecting his friend stopped talking and just stopped Yangge tightly.

"Well done." Tallulah smiled at Red Knife. There was no direct eye contact, but Red still felt a chill on his back, and a sense of crisis of being targeted by Du Lin arose spontaneously.

"T-Lula... cough cough... you are so cruel..."

Carters' frost was completely melted, turning into boiling water that soaked her whole body. Her hair on her forehead was wet and disheveled. She ignored the edges of her boots that were burnt to pieces by the flames, and tried hard to condense a frost blade to prop up her body. She gently wiped the red from the corners of her mouth. Her internal organs were shaken by the impact and the pain was unbearable, but she could still force herself to fight.

She has confirmed that the Tallulah in front of her is definitely not the fighter who strives for her ideals and discusses the future blueprint of the infected with her on a daily basis.

As for the claim that Bai Ge was a traitor, she didn't believe a word of it.

She now has an answer for her relationship with the person with whom she had those experiences.

He showed her the other side of the problems that were common to the infected, and he taught her to think.

The long sword pointed diagonally, and the next moment a trace of snow was drawn in front of him. Carters rushed out, and the smile on Tallulah's face flashed away, replaced by a look of sadness that was hard to tell whether it was true or false.

A Song of Ice and Fire suddenly tore through the air filled with doubt and disappointment.

"Big sister!" The other members of the Yeti Squad who arrived late were stopped by the Integration Movement who followed Tallulah. Their malicious gazes immediately made everyone alert.

"What are you doing?!"

"The Frost Star cadres openly disobeyed orders and tried to seize the leader's command!"

"How is it possible?! Aren't Sister Froststar and Tallulah very good friends?" Petrova and others didn't believe it at all.

"This is true."

Rhode Island evacuation team.

"They are... the Integration Movement?" What Fengpi saw challenged her ability to bear it all at once.

"...Yes, I'm afraid it's a battle between conscience and conspiracy... We shouldn't have gotten involved, but the disaster's impact is getting wider and wider, and many planned routes have been destroyed. We can only pass through this side..."

"Dr. Kal'tsit, we have to seize this opportunity. The longer we delay, the less likely it is that the doctor's safety will be guaranteed."

"...Indeed, that's right." Kal'tsit sighed, realizing that with their current manpower and military force, it was basically impossible for them to prevent this catastrophe... They could only hope to negotiate with Ursus after withdrawing to see if they could reduce the severity of the riots.

Heat waves and cold waves rolled up and down, the ground in the square cracked, and the houses could not withstand the drastic temperature difference and collapsed and collapsed. The collision of the two natural disasters would only create a more devastating disaster.

collapse!

A crisp sound of ice shattering echoed throughout the place, and a white figure was set on fire and flew backwards, smashing into a ruined wall. The wounds on her body caused by the burns from the flames were suppressed by the almost uncontrollable frost spell, and the melted cold water could not cool her anger.

"The Snow Monster Princess... looks a little embarrassed." The Dragon Girl approached her with her slender legs. The blade of her sword shone coldly as she gave her a contemptuous smile. "Don't worry, you won't die, and Bodrakatis won't kill me either, because you did something wrong. You divided us in front of everyone."

"Even if... you were wrong?" The unyielding look always made "Talulah" uncomfortable. She dropped her sword, cut off a strand of Carters' hair, squatted down, stared at the beautiful and angry eyes, her eyes and tone were cleansed by frost:

"What I did, how could it be wrong?"

"Snow Monster Princess, look clearly at the direction of resistance. The Integration Movement is the first fire of the infected. If you don't want it to be extinguished so absurdly and be spurned by those who come after you, then just -"

"..."

"..."

"Haha... this is really unexpected..."

Tallulah slowly stood up, drew out her sword, and stepped back step by step to make room.

"Snow monster princess, your 'demon king' is here."

At this moment, "Talulah" finally understood what that person was. He was neither an immortal nor a spokesperson for a giant beast... but a "demon king" who "never existed".

His chest heaved violently, and the quietly rising and falling anger was hotter than Tallulah's fire. A white gilded crown quietly emerged and disappeared, and the white flames in the boy's eyes wanted to choose the devil to devour.

"……blacksnake."

Tallulah’s pupils shrank suddenly.
