I don't know what Kelsey and Chen Huijie exchanged afterwards, and the young man who was pulled out of the conference room was not so much angry as it was more appropriate to describe it as doubtful.

"Okay, don't drag, I'll go myself." Getting rid of the entanglement of his companions, Zhao Xi cast a dissatisfied gaze at the other party. "There's no need to hide this from the mother monkey, why do you want to come out and talk about it."

"Haha, I just like your brother's style of not doing dark things~" Even if he was wearing a mask, he could still feel the atmosphere of a hippie smile, and seeing Zhao Xi silently raising his fist, the doctor immediately raised his hands in recognition. "Don't be so violent as our wife, I'll just say it."

"When PRTS scanned abandoned urban areas, they found the biological signal of 'Nikolai'."

There must be something ulterior in making a plan to hide something from Chen Huijie, but Zhao Xi never expected that the answer would be more exaggerated than he expected. The shock in his heart made him not pay attention to his feet, so much so that he almost tripped over himself.

"You mean... The traverser that Shadowless is looking for, hiding in Area 14? ”

"The probability is more than 85%, don't miss the underground area this time~"

Zhao Xi not only understood why he was included in the team, but also figured out the reason for keeping it secret from the dragon girl: Rhode Island's policy against Wuying was to find the traverser before the latter, and then protect it. Not to mention how to convince Chen Huijie to believe that the other world exists, based on her rigid personality alone, even if she knows that there is an evil organization that wants to capture the traverser, she will ask that the people of the other world be placed under the management of the Guards.

Given that she had used the above means to fight for Misha's ownership, Zhao Xi had reason to believe that Chen Huijie would do the same.

After understanding the motivation of the doctor's behavior, another problem that the young man had been puzzled with was also solved. "The reason why that kid was put into the squad was to use her familiarity with the terrain?"

"Not exactly."

"What do you mean?"

"Indeed, she is a resident of Chernobog and is more familiar with the local situation...", walking through the metal passage, took Zhao Xi to his dormitory, and the doctor motioned for him to put on his newly purchased outfit. But you have to understand one thing, brother. ”

"Rhode Island didn't force her, she took the initiative to apply and wanted to fight alongside you."

Is that so, recalling the other party's performance in the past two days, Zhao Xi believed it a little. I will ask myself in person later, if the answer is not satisfactory to me, even if I use my privilege, I have to let her stay on the ship, make a decision in my heart, Zhao Xi finished dressing as quickly as possible, and then accompanied the doctor to the landing area.

The metal canopy has been opened, and the big bird engine of steel has roared, ready to take off. His gaze swept over the crowd gathered in twos and threes, and Zhao Xi quickly locked on to the target and strode towards it.

The blonde woman in black uniform and carrying a metal crossbow crossed her arms and fired a wary gaze around the area, the first to notice his approach. "You're Miller? Fortunately. ”

"Codenamed Meteor, his profession is a freelance mercenary. As you can see, it's the Sakaz. Her eyes closed slightly, and she realized that the people around her were still talking, and the meteorite gave her an elbow as if nothing had happened. It's your turn, Jessica. ”

"I'm telling you, ---- there's a hole in Columbia!?" Like a frightened little animal, the girl, who was even shorter than Amiya, jumped three feet tall, and reflexively shrunk into a ball after landing. "Don't, don't hit me, I surrender!"

Girl, what's your situation, battlefield PTSD? Not knowing if this was some kind of pompous amusement, or if the person concerned was really cowardly, Zhao Xi could only skip this person for the time being and set his eyes on the other person who had just talked to him.

With neatly combed gray hair, a cropped and appropriately sized Ursas military police uniform, and a source stone device in the shape of a gun hanging from her waist, Zoya Kaczynski straightened her waist and met Zhao Xi's gaze without fear. "Codename Absinthe, Sorcerer Operator, please advise, Captain."

Even the code name was chosen, it didn't seem to be impulsive, and he was going to find her later to confirm the motive, Zhao Xi shook Zoya's hand with a straight face, and then turned his attention back to Fei Lin who stood up. "You're... The people of Blacksteel International? ”

"Uh, yes." The girl who wanted to cover the pattern on her sleeve with a conditioned reflex, and realized that it was too late lowered her head in embarrassment, and her voice was as small as a mosquito's call. "Hello, I'm Jessica from Blacksteel International, I, I'm not very good at introducing myself, woo......"

Seeing that the other party seemed to be about to cry, Zhao Xi, who felt a lot of pain, could only give up. "Alright, look forward to your next performance." Hastily ending his conversation with Jessica, he turned his gaze to the other side, the man who had been in the corner. "Are you ---?"

"Former mercenary, codename Frostleaf, Guard Operator." After a brief introduction, the girl straightened the infrared jacket on her body and pulled up her hood to cover the silver fox ears. "What's the order, Miller?"

"Well, you guys go to the aircraft and wait." Thinking that there was still some time before departure, Zhao Xi beckoned to stop Zoya, who was about to leave with the other three. "Absinthe, let's talk."

The expressions were different, but the three girls still followed the arrangement and obediently boarded the vehicle that was parked not far away. Finally gaining a moment of peace, Zhao Xi put aside the chaotic thoughts in his mind and asked the Usas girl who was staying by his side:

"Why?"

"Hmm... Because you want to be by your uncle's side? ”

"Don't make such jokes, nine times out of ten abandoned urban areas are traps, and you've seen how cruel the integration movement is---"

"That's why I'm going because I've seen it." Putting away the smile on her face, there was a faint sadness in the girl's red pupils, but it was more of a flame called faith. "Dad used to say he was going to protect the city, to protect us and everyone."

"Some of the survivors are convinced that the Chernobog military and police are like the garrisons outside the city, leaving civilians behind and fleeing." Snorting hard, Zoya looked up at the snowflakes falling from the sky. "I'm going to inherit that will, to prove that we never gave up, to refute the slander against Dad."

"This is also what I found for myself..."Rubbing her eyes with her hands, Zoya slowly turned around, not letting Zhao Xi see her facial expression. Reasons to live. ”

Sure enough, she wanted to use the battle to forget the grief and paralyze the pain with the grand ideal. Having not experienced the grief of losing a loved one, Zhao Xi was a little speechless for a while, seeing that the doctor was walking towards him while talking with the device in his hand, the young man could only admonish dryly:

"Whatever happens, stay in my sight, understand?"

“... Uncle, you are very verbose, and I am not a child. ”

"I'll say that when you're an adult!" Ordering Zoya to stand by on the flying machine, Zhao Xi looked back at the doctor, just in time to hear the last words of his conversation.

"There's encryption? Either the other party has a professional hacker, or there are two or five boys here, you try to pass on a fake message next time to see if those crazy people will be tricked... Well, see you later. ”

"What are you talking about, there's no beginning or end."

"Ha, it's just gossip with my wife~" Standing on tiptoe and putting his hand on the pergola, the doctor pretended to be excited: "How about it, brother, there are five beautiful girls, covering various types from royal sister to Lori, tsundere to natural, are you satisfied?" ”

"yes, I'm so satisfied that I'm about to cry!" In particular, the pronunciation of a certain word was aggravated, and Zhao Xi punched the opponent in the ribs, causing him to bend over due to pain. "What kind of mess, are you waiting to choose a harem, besides, there are only four of them, where is the fifth?"

"Uh, I'm sorry to be late~" The origin interrupted Zhao Xi's speech, and the ruddy-faced bard poked his head out from the side, exuding a strong smell of wine. "See you again, contractor."
