Mondstadt opened his eyes slowly, and the sun shone sparkling through the gaps between the leaves. His hazy consciousness and lightweight body made him feel like he was in a dream.

By the way, he remembered that he was blown away by a missile, so this place couldn't be heaven, right?

However, the faint pain that came from every joint told him that he was still alive in reality.

"You're awake, Mondstadt. ”

Oh, what a quiet affirmative sentence.

He braced himself up with his moaning arms and barely sat up, his eyes meeting that of Jefuti. The girl's eyes were as cold as the wind on the top of a snowy mountain, almost freezing Mondstadt. He wondered if he had annoyed her somewhere, but Jeffrey crouched down and grabbed her shoulder.

"Are you alright?" asked Jefti.

"At least not dead," Mondstadt forced a smile, "what time is it?"

"On the 9th of June, the position of the sun is about noon. ”

It's been three days, and he's slept for a long time.

"Where are we?" asked Mondstadt again.

"Andes. ”

It's not funny at all...... Well, his question is indeed a bit redundant. There is only one mountain park near the Trilateral Meeting, and they are obviously in the mountains now, which means that Jeffetti carried him unconscious on his back to avoid the pursuit of the Southern Union in the mountains, and hid for three days.

No wonder she sarcastically mocked herself, it was really hard for her.

"I'm sorry, but it was my negligence that got us here. ”

"No, it's me," Jeffetti said coldly, "because I'm the subject, that's why they're planning this attack, and you're going to get hurt." ”

"Don't say that......"

Mondstadt was stunned when he saw Jeffetti looking back at him, he didn't know where the restrained, delicate, and somewhat strong girl had gone. He knew very well that ordinary clichés had no effect on the ice sculpture, and he could not say anything at the moment.

The feeling scared him, as if they were really back on the frozen summit of the Andes, and what awaited him ahead was a different ending.

"Can you get in touch with Fran?" Mondstadt digressed, forgetting about it for a moment.

"There's no way to get in touch," said Jefti, "and the Southern Union has deployed jammers that cover the entire capital, and we don't have to think about contacting anyone else." ”

"But it's not an option to keep hiding, the enemy will shrink the search circle little by little, and sooner or later we will be discovered. ”

"yes, so I'm not waiting for you to wake up?"

"Do you have a plan?" asked Mondstadt.

"Not really," replied Jefti, "there is a communication station at the foot of the hill, where one of the enemy's jammers is deployed. I think we can go in and turn it off so we can tell Fran where we are. ”

Does that mean they want to secretly kill all the enemies in a communication station, then turn off the jammer and call the rescue force to answer?

"However, if the jammer is turned off, the enemy will also perceive our position. "They're not going to let us go, they're going to gather everyone around the station." ”

"That's right, so we're on a desperate side, Mondstadt. Jeffetti said very seriously.

Is it...... It turns out that they are desperate.

Jeffetti handed him a knife.

"Wait, we don't have guns, we're going to fight them with this?"

"Don't make a sound. Jeffetti raised her index finger to silence him. She was still nimble enough to climb to the top of the tree in her dress. Mondstadt followed without saying a word, as if chasing a light cat.

They stay motionless in the trees, and as soon as the wind blows, the treetops shake slightly, and some dead leaves fall naturally. Mondstadt looked at Jeffrey, her eyes fixed on the ground, as if looking for something. He couldn't see anything, or she felt it, and the subject's keen senses were several times stronger than those of humans.

"See?" said Jeffetti in a low voice, "right in front of us. ”

Mondstadt looked ahead as a breeze blew and shook the dead leaves off, and he saw two leaves eerily stop in the air, as if they were glued to something, when in fact there was nothing.

Another possibility is that he can't see it. Beads of sweat rolled down his cheeks, and Mondstadt realized that a TASA was within striking distance of them, and approached with optical camouflage. He didn't hear the footsteps, and if it hadn't been for Jeffetti finding out, they would have ended badly.

The knife spun in his hand, his thumb and forefinger pinching the tip of the knife, and Mondstadt swallowed. There's only one chance, and if he misses, it's over. He looked closely at the deviation of the optical camouflage to a few decimal places, outlined the outline of the target by association, and raised the knife in his hand.

Please, be sure to win.

The sharp weapon in his hand flew out with a "whoosh", and the trajectory of the stroke was infinitely close to a straight line, and Mondstadt could be said to have poured out his life's experience. The tip of the knife pointed straight ahead, sliced through a fallen leaf, froze in mid-air for a few seconds, and then fell abruptly sideways.

Mondstadt saw a device flicker a few times, the optical camouflage completely faded, and the corpse in a TASA uniform lay on the grass, blood flowing from its eye sockets moistening the dirt. With a sigh of relief, he jumped from the tree and walked over to the TASA elite.

"Oh, that's pretty neat. Jeffetti said, patting the dust off her body.

"Thanks for the compliment...... "Mondstadt was a little impressed by the fact that he had killed a TASA with one sword."

This TASA is much younger than himself, probably a newcomer, it is said that although TASA has been rebuilt, its strength is not as good as before, and Meade's agents are also full of people who are indiscriminate.

In just a few years, it has expanded to several times the scale of the previous one, and the level of members has remained the same as before, and it is impossible to think about it, and in order to prepare for this war, the Southern Union has also "taken great pains".

Jeffetti retrieved a bolt-action sniper rifle and some ammunition from the corpse and carried them on her back. HE TOOK TASA'S CROSSBOW AND CROSSBOW FROM HIS BELT AND GAVE THEM TO MONDSTADT. In this way, they finally have the capital to act, and Mondstadt has also obtained a few blasting bolts, which can be considered more practical area damage weapons.

The sun was shining down their backs, and it was time to drive down the mountain. The enemy is coming up from below the hillside, and Mondstadt expects them to encounter the invisible TASA forces, but they will have to rise to the occasion.

"How do you know there's someone, Gefti?" asked Mondstadt.

"Yes," said Jeffetti lightly, "I have a radar in my head, and whenever something related to the ruins comes close, it will ring non-stop, and it will not stop at all. ”

"I see," said Mondstadt, "I'm leading the front, you're covering me, and I'm sorry to rely on your pain for a while." ”

"Hmm...... Okay, too. ”

"Jefuti!" Mondstadt grabbed her by the shoulders.

"Uh...... What's wrong?" Jeffrey was startled.

"Please, don't show that look," said Mondstadt, "and don't forget that you have somewhere else to go back to. ”

Jeffetti was silent for a long time, turned her face sideways and spat out a word, turning around to break free of his hands.

"I'm sorry ......"
