“…… Compared to the 'Heisenberg' attack more than a decade ago, the 903 maritime city that occurred a year ago ' Albion's attack proved that the alliance is no longer what it used to be, the new defense system, personnel management and well-trained garrison can well prevent the surprise attack of the ACA's small forces, once the safety of the sea city is guaranteed, then the sea is no longer a safe area where the ACA can carry out strategic maneuver without fear, and the alliance's joint noose composed of surface fleets and sea cities can easily cut the air pipes of the ACA's supply lines...... The only thing that is incomprehensible is that after the 903 attacks, the person in charge, Gable. Dr. Stanley's punishment was too severe, and perhaps the Confederacy officials had considered it more deeply......"

In the Atlantic, the storm has passed, and a rare calm envelops the entire transport fleet.

Ling Yu walked through the containers stacked on the deck, he had just completed his recovery training on the helicopter platform at the other end, the wound on the knee of the right leg of the young man who had taken a shower and changed his clothes had healed, a day later than he expected, but he had finally fully recovered before disembarking.

There is still a week's journey from Calais Port, but Ling Yu has no intention of wasting time on this ship, Helis has already made all the preparations in the early stage, and earlier today, a plane from the newly joined British Navy "Jones. The helicopter of the USS John "multipurpose destroyer" picked up Helis, apparently, again Charlotte or Logan.

As long as Helis gets the information, then they can quickly determine the direction of their next attack, for this reason, Ling Yu has already planned to directly rent the rotorcraft on the warship to rush to the target location at that time, and now they are in the center of the Atlantic, no matter where they go, it is quite convenient. At the very least, the rotorcraft will have one-way fuel to allow them to travel to Portugal or back to North America.

It's just that Ling Yu wasn't thinking about Herris right now, he walked into the superstructure at the end of the deck and walked straight to the location of the infirmary.

"Captain."

Ling Yu pushed the door in, and Arya immediately jumped up from the chair next to her and raised her hand in salute, but her voice was very soft, and then she put her index finger to her lips and made a small motion. "She just fell asleep."

"How is your health, and is the cure you sent to you effective?" Ling Yu glanced at the hospital bed that was covered by the curtain, grabbed a chair and sat down, and motioned for Arya to sit down as well.

"Gable. I carefully analysed the research report sent by Dr. Stanley, and I basically understood the reasons for this situation and-"

Arya glanced up at the electronic board on the table, and was about to speak, but was interrupted by Ling Yu.

"Explain in words I can understand."

"Okay, Captain." Arya paused for a moment, then smiled helplessly.

"In a nutshell. Vivian's own body's ability to recover is not much different from the general TF, but her mental power is subconsciously interfering with her endocrine and metabolic system, making it slow, and the treatment method is to use drugs to make her enter a deep coma, and at the same time interfere with the endocrine system to temporarily neutralize the mental power ability, in this process, her metabolism will be accelerated, and she can be cured quickly if she ensures nutrition. ”

"Dr. Stanley's cure, I studied it with Herris first. After confirming that there was no problem, the small meter was given to Vivian to try to use. Now it seems that the situation is not bad, at least he did not lie to us, the medicine is effective. ”

"He doesn't have the guts," Ling Yu smiled lightly, "What's more, in his opinion, Vivian is his 'work'." Vivian was in a hurry, more than anyone else. ”

"For whatever reason, there's no doubt that he cares about Vivien." Arya also showed a helpless smile, "After Vivian escaped, he carried everything on his shoulders, he was already the head of the base, and now he can only lead a useless small project in the Academy of Sciences." Life is not too good. ”

"Scientists...... Sometimes you really can't figure out if they're good or bad. Ling Yu shook his head, and another white-clothed young man flashed through his mind, "But in short, thank him this time." ”

"In short, Vivien will be fully recovered in two or three days." Arya nodded, ending the conversation, "She should be in time for the next fight." ”

"Does Kronos have a telekinesis TF who is an instructor?"

Ling Yu turned his head to glance at the curtain that separated his gaze from the ward area where Vivien was, and suddenly asked a question without warning.

“…… Do you want to ...... Find a teacher for Vivien? ”

Arya was silent for a few seconds, guessing through Ling Yu's considerations, she thought for a moment before speaking, "As far as I know, there are almost no perception TFs in the Kronos Company's team...... But even if there were, would Vivien leave you? ”

"It's going to change if she doesn't leave, but it's dangerous around me, it's constant." Ling Yu raised her head and breathed a sigh of relief gently, "She may have a lot of strength, but she doesn't know how to use it, and she has almost no combat experience...... She showed me the battle at MIT, Helis, from the combat experience. ”

"And it's not just a question of the dangers of fighting." Ling Yu didn't give Arya a chance to interject, and continued, "Follow me, I don't know what will become of her. ”

"She's a little kid and I don't want her worldview to be affected by what we've done, and I've been trying to protect her from the kind of childhood that most of us have, but I can't take care of it."

"So you think she's a burden now." Arya finally found an opportunity to interject, she closed her eyes, thought for a moment, and then reached out to take off the boat-shaped hat on her head, subconsciously folding it in her hand, and said while sorting out her thoughts, "Captain, if you don't mind, I have something I want to discuss with you. ”

"Say it." Ling Yu nodded, his expression stern.

"You can just send Vivien away, no problem, in fact, there are many places she can go, Kronos is interested, and the alliance will not really embarrass such a super force...... It's just that. Captain, if you send her away, doesn't that mean that you are already planning to do whatever it takes...... What's next? ”

"I've done whatever it takes." Ling Yu shook his head, "Nothing can stop me, I know you don't understand." But that's okay, I'll prove it to you, I'm right, only I'm right. ”

"But at least her existence still makes you have some scruples in your means." Arya shook her head slightly, "I haven't been working with you for long, but I've noticed something...... If none of this proves anything, then you feel that Vivien is already a burden, and perhaps that is the excuse that you are still feeling conflicted. ”

"Your words are rarely so difficult to understand, Arya." Ling Yu closed his eyes. Leaning back and crossing his hands over his chest, "But honestly, I don't want to know what you're trying to say, and I don't want anyone to tell me how to do it." ”

"I didn't mean that," it seemed that Ling Yu's response had been expected, and Arya didn't show an extra expression, "It's just, I think." If we give up a qiē bottom line ourselves, then there is no difference between us and Char. ”

"The difference between us and Char is that he will kill tens of thousands of people, and we will not!" Ling Yu raised his voice slightly. "And we stopped him to save tens of thousands or more!"

"And what if tens of thousands of people have to be killed to stop Char?" Arya retorted bluntly, this nice gentleman and girl, who was usually always smiling and acting as the glue and lubricant of the team, rarely looked at her captain with such sharp eyes to talk about these extremely sensitive and conflict-prone topics.

"I'm going to avoid that from happening." Ling Yu was silent for a few seconds, staring at Ariya's pupils. "That's what we're fighting for." ”

"I don't argue with that, Captain." Arya tilted her head suddenly, and without warning, her previous smile returned, "It's just." You know in your heart that if, I mean, if Vivien were still with you, you wouldn't really sacrifice those people anyway, would you? ”

"I said I'd avoid it." Ling Yu's tone was a little cold, but he could only repeat what he had just said with a slight weakness.

"Ding-dong-"

Before Arya could say anything more, the screen of the computer terminal on the desk behind her lit up, revealing a new email from an anonymous sender - a common case in espionage work.

"Looks like you've got a job, so I'd better not bother."

A look of joy flashed in Ling Yu's eyes, he stretched out his hand and pointed at the computer behind Ariyah, then stood up, pushed open the door as if he was running away, and walked out.

"See you later."

"See you later, Captain."

A trace of regret also flashed in Arya's eyes, but she seemed to feel that she shouldn't be too tight, and by the time she reacted, Ling Yu had already left the room, and the girl could only sigh helplessly against the closed hatch.

She turned around and tapped lightly on the desktop with her left hand, and the holographic keyboard that had entered the standby state was instantly spread, and the girl subconsciously opened the email while thinking about this conversation.

But in the next second, she had no intention of continuing to think about the conversation with Ling Yu just now.

With an incredible expression on her face, she stared at the white-haired girl wearing headphones in the video text, opening her mouth but not making any sound.

***

Ling Yu, I have already taken off from the destroyer, and I will return to the freighter immediately, I have a clue, immediately gather everyone to go to the chart room!

"Understood."

In fact, when Ling Yu had just walked out the door, that is, at the same time that Arya received the anonymous letter, Helis's communication reached his ears through Ling Yu's empty eyes.

Ling Yu turned around and stretched out his hand to pull the door of the infirmary, but before his hand could touch the doorknob, the door of the infirmary was pulled open from the inside.

"Yo, Arya, it just so happens that Helis has a clue, let's go to the chart room."

Ling Yu subconsciously said this, but then he regretted it, because the moment he pushed the door open, he noticed that a trace of panic flashed on the face of the girl in front of him like never before, and she looked like she wanted to say something.

"Do you have anything to tell me?"

Ling Yu frowned and opened his mouth to ask.

"No, it's okay, it's just a personal matter compared to our mission, and it's not necessary." Sure enough, Arya shook her head, then bypassed Ling Yu and walked directly in the direction of the chart room, "Let's deal with the matter of Helis first." ”

"Okay." Ling Yu nodded, and stepped forward to follow Arya, but added another sentence.

"If you need anything, you can tell me, I will try my best to help you, I don't want my players to become shortcomings in the team because of worries."

"I understand, Captain." Arya nodded, a smile already on her face, "I'll do what I can." (To be continued......)
