"Now...... What are we going to do? I looked up, sighed, and asked softly to Loki, who wasn't far away.

"I'm ready to transfer......" he muttered, still not fully suppressing his emotions.

"Hmm...... The next step is to organize the contraction of the team. At this time, Marx hurriedly telegraphed to relieve the siege: "After countless comrades sacrificed their lives in the battle, the suppression of the fleeing anomalies has been basically completed, and the situation in the evacuation area has been stabilized for the time being, not to mention that the nihilistic courtiers are still expanding, and this place will be swallowed up and occupied sooner or later...... There is no longer any reason to stay any longer, and the priority now should be to protect the second group of evacuees. ”

"Is that so......" I said in dismay, "......"

Marx seemed to have foreseen my feelings, and while I was still woiled in the words that were about to be spoken, he was the first to testify to me: "Don't worry, Comrade Devna, no matter what happens, we will never abandon you, and there will be a way." ”

The words came into my ears, but they pulled out countless thoughts in my heart—gratitude, relief, inferiority, loss, worry, and expectation...... Stretched in his chest, blocked in his throat, and he didn't know how to reply for a while......

"Hmm...... Thank you, Marx. In the end, I had to reply with a wry smile.

The ministers have also said nothing about our withdrawal, and it seems that they are gradually drawing some vague consensus from the development of the situation that it is difficult to reverse the gloomy future, at least by our own strength.

"So...... Let's prepare now. Ida stood up at this point, patted her husband on the shoulder, and prepared to make the final integration of the organizers in the work area: "Then start with ......"

"Report!!" Just as Ida was giving orders, Maria from the Security Department suddenly rushed into the hall in a hurry and hurriedly reported to everyone: "Someone ...... Lydira is here! ”

Such news is tantamount to a flat ground explosion of mines, and it immediately aroused everyone's alarm: "What did you say? Lytria? I asked, incredulously.

"What is she here for?" Gray, who followed closely, also held the judge of justice tightly, and asked resentfully, "How many people did she bring?" Who are they? ”

"Only...... She was the only one. Maria was slightly taken aback by the battle, and hastened to add, "And it looks badly wounded, as if it had been a terrible battle not long ago." ”

"Hurt?" Ida listened, and her eyes lit up: "Could it be ......?"

"No, it could also be Binah's bitter ploy." Loki stood up and said solemnly, "We can't trust them. ”

"That's right......" Ida pursed her lips, "but let's go check on the situation first, what if we really need our help?" ”

"I agree." Before Loki could say anything, I preemptively said, "Maybe we can still get valuable information out of her mouth, and we can't let this opportunity go." ”

"I support the opinion of Comrade Devna." Marx also instructed through the communicator: "Lidella is also an object that can be united, and it is expected that she will become our comrade." ”

At this point, the two men present did not argue more, and each was silent, waiting for the outcome of the matter to be dealt with later.

"Then I'll go first." I said to Ada, "You're going to start the regenerative reactor. ”

"Uh-huh." Ida nodded, and said worriedly: "But Ade, I still have to remind you that the resources of the regeneration reactor are used less than once, and there are still many wounded here who need its help...... You have to be judged. ”

"Hmm." I nodded, "Don't worry, I will." As he spoke, he beckoned Gray, who was angry, and Yui and Soln, who were standing guard in shifts, to go and check the situation together. Lead the way, Mary. When everything was ready, I pointed to the gate and said to her.

"Yes, senior." Maria agreed, and then left the main common room with the group of four, and hurried to Lydira without stopping.

"What is the exact extent of her injuries? What were the details when you came? "In the hallway, I asked Maria.

"Well......" Mary pursed her lips in embarrassment, "It's a long story." But the distance is not far, senior, you can go and confirm for yourself. ”

"Okay." I shrugged.

Unsurprisingly, the seriously injured Lydira was thrown into a makeshift confinement cell converted from an abandoned elevator hall after being briefly bandaged by Camille, and guarded by thoughtful Libre and Isabel to ensure that she was constantly under surveillance and did not dare to act rashly.

"Daphna-senpai!" As soon as they saw the arrival of the group, the two immediately greeted with relief: "Lidella is inside, waiting for the seniors to fall." ”

"Okay, good work." I nodded, motioning for Soln and Yui on the side to take the lead in checking on Lydira's injuries, while Gregory and I followed behind to check on the situation from the containment team on duty, making our initial judgment-

"In other words, was she staggering and scarred at the time and fainted near the position?"

"Well, that's right." Parker nodded fiercely: "At first, we didn't see it, but then she woke up again and climbed two steps forward before we finally saw it, and then brought it in." ”

"It's a miracle that she didn't die, senior." Camille recalled the scene and said with great interest: "At that time, blood was shed all over the ground, and people were dying. ”

"It seems that it was the EGO on her body - the Sword of Tears saved her life, and the remaining strength of the Desperate Knight protected this guy in a life-or-death situation." Gray on one side added: "What a blessing. ”

"We informed Eugenie, and she told us to save her life first, and then think about it in the long run."

"Then you used your own nanotherapy kit to heal several of her fatal wounds. Right? I wiped my nose to confirm.

"Well, that's it." Parker said, still a little proud.

"Okay, I see, you've all worked hard." I smiled and patted them on the shoulder.

"She only said she wanted to see Red Eyes, especially by name." In the inquiry on the other side, Lisabel, who was the first to help treat her and was in charge of carrying her into the confinement room, said: "I don't want to say anything else, she is injured, and we can't do anything about her for the time being." ”

“…… Well. I frowned suspiciously: "What the hell is she here for?" ”

"Just ask." Gregory on the side said impatiently: "If she dares to make any small moves, I will ......!" As he spoke, his teeth clenched into fists, as if he was ready to rush in and kick Lydella sideways.

"Say less." I let out a long sigh, "We'll go check on the situation now." I said, motioning for him to enter the confinement chamber with him.

"Whew......" Gray pouted unconvinced, but quickly followed.

The elevator room was quite spacious, and Lydella was lying on a discarded steel plate that had been extra elevated, and although her body still looked a little weak, her spirit was still as high as a frightened wild boar. On the other side, Yue and Soln seem to have finished their physical examination of Lydira, and soon submitted the evaluation materials to us:

"Minor injury of the second degree, high spirits...... No traces of special modification were detected in the body, and the possibility of remote control and external dangerous goods was preliminarily ruled out. ”

"At least the cost of her bitter meat is quite high." I shrugged and glanced at Gray beside me.

He ignored me and quietly waited for the next interrogation.

"You've all worked hard, now I'll take care of it." I greeted Yue and Soln, "You can go get busy first." ”

"Hmm." The two nodded understandingly, activated the portable shield, and left the elevator hall one after another.

"Bang!" The door was quickly shut.

Lydella seemed to understand what was happening, and at last she sat up from her bed with difficulty, opened her eagle-sharp eyes, and stared at us.

At the same time, we began to look at Lydira—her body was flabby, her face was tense, her fists were clenched, and she was still wary and distrustful of her surroundings; The same scarred ego she was wearing had been stripped off, and she was now wearing only a somewhat worn standard staff uniform; The lack of weapons around seemed to add to her insecurity; But on top of the serious face at first sight, the subtle looks are extremely complicated, and all kinds of small movements are continuous, as if there are heavy concerns, as well as the rising emotions in the suppressed heart. In comparison, her hostility towards us has become a harmless minutiae -

She must have something big to say.

"Nothing you want to say?"

I opened my mouth first, found a convenient position, and sat down very casually; Gregory, on the other hand, leaned to the side, seemingly closing his eyes.

"I ...... You ......" Lydella seemed to be eagerly expecting something, but she was still a little embarrassed to say it.

I knew it would take a toll on her ass-like self-esteem, so I chose to wait and remain silent.

Lydella also seemed to be pushing herself more urgently—for that she had to make some sacrifices, even if it was something she couldn't have done before......

At this moment, this once majestic woman with her head held high, like a child who has made a mistake, repeatedly purses her lips, rubs her fingers, and struggles with her thoughts all the time.

"Please...... Please save Boss Geburah!! ”

As soon as the words came out, the words were shocked. Not just the unexpected situation she spoke, but the price she paid for it—she was asking us for help almost in a pleading tone. At the same time, she slowly dragged her shriveled and weak arms like dead branches, shook her sore back, supported the bed board, and staggered to support her trembling body; With this as a starting point, she slowly and persistently moved her legs, which were stiff from the injury—"Woo-woo! Woo! She gritted her teeth and stared at her side, but she was unable to do it and sweated profusely. For every centimeter of that disabled thigh, Lydella couldn't help but snort. "Sand ...... Sand...... The sand "rubbed against the cold metal, and finally there was only one kick left at the door—Lydira took a breath and a heart, and dragged it with all her might—"Click! "After a palpitating crunch, the left leg returned to its place without a hitch.

This is followed by the right leg. With the experience of Fang Cai, Lydella seemed more relaxed at this time—leaning forward, supporting, sideways, observing, and looking so methodical. But as her movements widened, the intense pain immediately hit her nerves like a storm—Lydella was so dizzy that she almost fainted, and the loss of physical strength made the already fragile balance of her body even more untenable.

But she didn't give up.

"Whew!" After a brief respite, Lydella immediately dragged her thighs and launched a second blow to her crotch - "Sand...... Sand...... Sasha's faster and faster movements, growing pain, and rapid physical exertion all challenged the warrior's rock-like tenacity. This action that was easy to do when he was once strong and high-spirited, but he would not do it anyway, is now as far away as a long march when he is full of pain and dying breath.

Perhaps as early as the moment she decided to come here, she had already realized that it was not only for the sake of others, but also for herself.

"Click!"

There was a louder, dull click, and Lydella finally snapped her right leg under her in the nick of time. "Whew!" Lydra immediately closed her eyes and closed her mouth, trying her best to endure the sharp pain that followed. But this is not the end, she did not bend down with the situation, but after a short rest, she once again supported her hands, and slowly straightened her body in the crisp sound of bones - and the pain contained in it was even more unimaginable cruelty to ordinary people.

Even the returnees present could not help but feel shocked, but the more we are here, the more we need to be patient—this is Lydela's war, and any attempt to help out of kindness is a sharp knife to her remaining proud dignity. If you make one wrong step, you will never recover......

"Ahem!" With one last sound, Lydira straightened up like a monument.

At this point, she finally managed to kneel on the bed, and after finally getting used to the constant pain, she was convulsing and trembling...... I opened my eyes with difficulty, and the figure we were waiting for was reflected in the clear eyes.

"Help her...... Save ......" she wished to speak again, but her overburdened body could no longer bear any superfluous functions, so she had to give up.

There was no doubt that Lydera's solemn gesture of standing on her knees and showing weakness to us even if she was in severe pain was a great blow to the two of them—Gregory and I quickly exchanged glances, and soon agreed to put an end to Lydera's suffering.

"Ida, prepare the regeneration reactor, three-stage power." I turned on the communicator and said with trepidation, "...... At least we should have listened. ”

"Hmm...... Now that you've decided. Ida gasped softly, activating the regenerative reactor, which was running out of ammunition.

"Woo————" With the noise of the machine starting, the reactor terminal I carried with me also vibrated to complete the link. I pulled the disc-sized device out of my pocket, slowly got up, and held it up in front of Lydira, who was about to reach the end of the day—"Shh

Soon, Lydela's body was restored to its original state, and the hideous expression on her face gradually became calmer - "...... huh" She breathed a long sigh of relief, her body shook slightly, and her shoulders loosened slightly. After doing all this, Lidella finally opened her eyes again-

Only this time, there is less hostility and more trust and anxiety.

"You...... Now you can stand up. Gray on the side stood up and said with his face slightly hidden.

"No!" Lydella suddenly and eagerly whispered, "Unless you go and save the boss now!" ”

"Ah......" Gray said with some embarrassment, "I mean you ...... first"

"No way!!" Lydra categorically refused: "The boss will be killed by that black old woman at any time now, and she must be rescued immediately!" I beg you! She cried more and more desperately, and every word was full of vivid emotions overflowing, enough to make the most hard-hearted person feel compassion. And the state of affairs it says is also extremely dangerous, and time cannot be delayed any longer.

I spread my right hand and gathered the power that was dissolved everywhere, "Long arm—grasp!" I chanted in a low voice, clenched my right fist, and for a moment time and space froze, time stopped, and in this little confinement room, only Gray, Lytria, and myself were allowed to move freely.

"Now she's not in danger anymore." I stared at Lydela, who was a little overwhelmed, and said, "You explain everything clearly, otherwise we will never risk our lives unnecessarily." ”

"You ......! You ......" Lydella was still a little impatient, but still suppressed the desire to attack, and immediately began to briefly say: "That's it! It is...... Binah, that old witch is so mean, she lied to us! Betrayed the original promise!! After the entire facility was turned over yesterday, the group of cubs from the R&D department were about to come to disarm us, and they would kill anyone they saw. As she spoke, Lidella couldn't help but clench her fists, and the tears of remorse in her eyes stirred with poisonous hatred: "Audrey, Dia, Bella, Alyssa...... None of them survived......"

I frowned, quickly recalling, extracting, and judging the information in my head, and then quickly glanced at Gray beside me, and exchanged briefly.

"It's all my fault!! If only I could have seen through their tricks sooner!! Almost immediately, Lidella fell into a state of grief, "I'm sorry for them! I'm sorry for the boss's cultivation!! She roared hoarsely, her arms hammering the steel plate beneath her - but the frozen air could not make any sound, which only angered Lydella even more, and she hammered harder and more hysterically.

That is to say...... Has the Corrections Department been wiped out......" Gray said, with a sigh in his words.

"That's right...... That's right! It's all because of me! Lydira howled, big tears pouring out of her eyes and washing over the embroidered brow that had been twisted by self-reproach and pain.

"And how did you escape?" After Lydella had recovered a little, Gray asked again.

"Yes...... It's the Desperate Knight. Lytria remembered blankly, "Audrey and the others...... They put me in the Desperate Knights' containment unit with all their lives...... I was blessed...... The monster swung its sword and kept the beasts from the R&D department from approaching me. ”

Gray muttered in surprise, "Unbelievable......"

"And then ......," Lydira continued, "the two sides were deadlocked until today, but suddenly ...... at eleven o'clock in the morning!" The Desperate Knight teleported away! ”

"What about the guards?" Gray asked a little bit of a substitute.

"Of course!" Lydella looked rather dissatisfied and replied, "But it seems that something big happened outside, and some people were transferred, so I rushed out immediately with the guys." ”

"You're rushing out?!" Gray asked with a look of surprise, "Where are you going?" ”

"The main lounge! Because the Geburah boss hit there! I'm going to help her! ”

"How can you be sure it's from Geburah?"

"I just know!" Lydira suddenly became anxious: "I have been following the boss for so long, and I know the location of every screw hole on her body!" ”

"There's a guard outside, and Geburah is at war with Binah, can she save you?" Gray said aggressively.

"Don't underestimate the Punishment Department!" Lydra was really angry, and she immediately refuted in an instant: "The old lady put down several guards and killed them herself!" ”

"Roar?" Gray raised an eyebrow and chuckled deliberately, "Then why are you here now?" Didn't you kill all the way? ”

"What do you mean?!" Lydra shouted even more impulsively, "Are you saying that the old lady is a coward?!" ”

"Then we always need a convincing reason."

"Boss Geburah can't beat that old black witch alone! An arm is almost scrapped! Lidella shouted with her teeth and claws, "I must help!" But...... But I couldn't intervene - the battle was too fast and intense, and I couldn't do anything but make trouble for the boss. Lydella said, her tone instantly lowered: "The boss asked me to inform the other ministers of the war situation, let me come here......"

"At that time, there was a good noise from the Ministry of Welfare, so I took advantage of the chaos to run out." She added.

"Hmm......" I asked, "So your injuries were aggravated when you came here?" ”

"It's fine, and those guards who look exactly like me can't hurt me." Lydira said rather unhappily: "Na Cheng wants to suddenly rush over a guy who can fight so well, the double knives in her hands are stronger than Dia's hammer!" ”

"It's Liberty......" I thought to myself, "I can't imagine that I'll be doing ......this after I run away."

“…… Then I fought and rushed all the way, and almost didn't get out......" Lydira said with palpitations: "I cut my skin and flesh ...... with one knife"

"And then? Why didn't she continue to hunt you down? Gray asked, "When Camille found you, you had half a breath left." ”

"I wounded her too." Lydella replied bluntly, "I broke her left leg, and she stopped chasing me when I ran to the central headquarters break room, and then she fell where you are, and you will know the rest." ”

I took a deep breath, adjusted the flow of time and space, and smoothly sent the message to Marx through the communicator in my ear, and at the same time lifted the blockade of time and space around him and the ministers, sent a statement of the proposal, and waited for a reply.

"Anyway...... Boss, she's dangerous right now! It may not last long, and I have to help her! ”

"The battle ......," Gray said, staring at her.

"I'll tell you about the war, I'll tell you everything, as long as you go and help the boss!" Lidella said impatiently, and flipped up from the bed board, but soon stumbled again because of the stiff legs that had been kneeling for a long time, and almost fell directly to the ground.

"Hmm." I winked at Gray beside me, then got up, turned on the communicator, and listened to the reply.

"The intelligence base has confirmed Lydela's information, and it is very credible." First came the voice of Marx: "According to earlier assessments...... Minister Geburah could have barely survived until the end of the evacuation, but the reality is even more optimistic, as the evacuation was discouraged on the first day by far more force than expected, and the consequences would be even worse if Minister Geburah was lost as a pillar of support – we must help anyway. ”

Loki followed: "The Minister is now on the same side as us, and Minister Geburah, who is holding Binah, is even more at odds with the organization, and now at least half of his colleagues have not been evacuated, and the R&D department is harassing everywhere - we don't have much choice." ”

"Daphna Staff ......" followed by Minister Hod, who said softly and cautiously: "We ...... Knowing that this would be a bit selfish, we are not in a position to ask you to face Binah, but we still ask you to ...... Please help Geburah. ”

"This is the result of thousands of years of hard work!" Minister Marcus said anxiously, "We can't do without your help, please!" ”

"Hmm......" I nodded calmly, "then Marx, you can arrange it." As I spoke, I felt a little numb.

Gray also ended the inquiry at this point, and briefly summarized the information provided by Lydira, and sent it to Marx, who was sitting in the central control room, with my help.

"So...... We should be ready and set off right away. I said, opening my arms and loosening my grip on time and space.

Faced with this unexpected joy, Lydella asked in disbelief, "...... now?!" ”

"Hmm." I nodded affirmatively and said, "Now." ”

"Good!! I'll go too!! Lidella was inspired, and her eyes were full of war, reflecting almost pathological ecstasy: "I want to avenge Audrey and them!" Revenge on the Corrections Department!! Lidella shouted excitedly.
