Book 4: Chapter 34: Conquering Chen Heng?
Do your best. Perhaps it will happen. Furthermore, there’s the six-star Caster FrostNova. Since W joined Rhodes Island, it should be possible for other Reunion members, right? Besides, didn’t FrostNova say in Chapter 6 that she would join Rhodes Island if she did not die? FrostNova’s worldview does not match the Reunion Movement’s. However, it is strangely very compatible with Rhodes Island’s ideals.
[TL Note: Here is W’s profile: /wiki/W/Story.]
Kal’tsit: Don’t ask me. I really know nothing. Do it if you can.
You said it.
Kal’tsit: Pretend I said nothing. Just follow the storyline. At most, I’ll pull FrostNova in during Chapter 6. Honestly speaking, I don’t want to alter the storyline. Sometimes, knowing the future makes it easier to make plans. There are many benefits to knowing the future and having the initiative.
Right. FrostNova, my waifu. I like her a lot.
17-Year-Old Beautiful Young Lady: You fall in love with someone else so quickly?
What a joke! These are just two-dimensional characters; can this be considered falling in love with someone else? Not to mention one waifu, even if I change waifu every day, can you do anything about it?
Queen of Ice and Snow: The crux is that the people before you are real.
What does that have to do with me? The one I like is the waifu in the game, not them. The ones in real life that deserve a beating should still be beaten up. I can distinguish between them.
Solomon: A typical scumbag response.
Lord of the White Night: Right. Furthermore, he has reached a certain level of depravity. Sure enough, he is indeed one of us.
Solomon: …
On Crownslayer’s side, Crownslayer could see Chen Heng clearly through binoculars. When Chen Heng looked towards her, her gaze met his through the binoculars. This startled her, causing her heart to skip a beat. However, Chen Heng quickly vanished after that.
“That fellow couldn’t have seen me from such a distance, right? However, a Sniper? As long as I can obstruct his vision…”
Due to her angle, Crownslayer had not seen Chen Heng waving a 250-centimeter sniper rifle (two meters of the sniper rifle and 50 centimeters of the bayonet of light). Otherwise, she would not have thought this.
“Amiya, I’ve returned. I have already dealt with the Reunion members in this area. However, I can’t be sure I got them all. Without their white uniform, they look no different from the ordinary citizens. Furthermore, that was just a small portion of them. Most of the Reunion members left before we arrived.”
“Alright, got it. The Reunion Movement has too many members this time. I wonder where they got so many people from.”
“For these Reunion members…I have encountered leaders similar to the people in charge of the Reunion Movement. To them, the soldiers are mere pawns, easily cast away after use. They recruit members like raising free-range livestock—leaving them be and feeding them with hatred and fear. Then they only need to nudge them in a direction when needed.”
Dobermann used to be a Bolívar soldier and had experienced a lot. She truly had seen factions similar to the Reunion Movement before.
“…They just need to wear the uniform with their symbol? Any Infected could be a Reunion member?” Amiya seemed to understand something, taking over the conversation.
“Right. That way, the Reunion Movement will have endless members. After all, many Infected in the world suffer from oppression. No matter what kind of deliverance the Reunion Movement offered at this moment…” Dobermann did not continue, but everyone understood what she meant.
The Infected made up most of the Rhodes Island members. When they heard these words, they could not help feeling aggrieved. The entire group was silent for a while.
“Alright, it’s not time to discuss this. The most important thing now is to escort Doctor safely back to Rhodes Island.” Nearl broke the silence at this moment.
“That’s true. It’s time to go. He Who Knows Fate, I’ll leave Doctor to you.”
“Don’t worry. That’s not a problem. Bringing one more person, in addition to Nightingale, is within the range of my capabilities.”
It is just two people. Even if you add more than ten people, I can still handle it.
Thus, the group started their happy journey back.
Nightingale normally remained silent, not saying anything as Chen Heng held her sleeve. She gave him the feeling of a quiet, younger girl next door.
In contrast, the initially silent Doctor seemed to have transformed into another person, becoming a chatterbox, asking Chen Heng questions like: What do you like? When is your birthday? What kind of present would you like? What do you like to eat? What is your horoscope? What are your hobbies?
Hey! Why are you asking these questions? Are you trying to conquer me?
“Doctor, what are you trying to do?”
“I was thinking, since I don’t have materials for your Elite promotion, I would raise your Trust value. Wouldn’t that increase your combat prowess too?”
“…”
Kal’tsit, keep your Doctor in check. I’m a man!
Kal’tsit: …Doctor is female. There’s no problem.
Huh?
Chen Heng glanced at Doctor, who was pulling on his sleeve. He had not expected her to be female.
Although Doctor had a relatively petite figure, Chen Heng initially thought she was a short man. Now that he looked at her, Doctor was not just short, but her frame seemed small too. She did indeed look like a woman.
“What’s wrong, Doctor? Are my sniping skills not strong enough?”
“But He Who Knows Fate, you are a seven-star operator. If you cannot pull down the sun and moon or pluck the stars, how can you be a seven-star operator?”
Doctor, you know what? You have touched the truth.
Solomon: Speaking of pulling down the sun and moon or plucking the stars, according to Chen Heng, he can pull the moon down. That would barely fulfill this description of a seven-star operator.
…………
Umaru-chan: Ah! This…the moon…
I Have a Strong Presence: That is impossible in this life for me.
Faillen Angel Gabriel: I feel that Sage Megumi can probably be a five-star Specialist operator. I suddenly noticed she is very similar to Arknights’s Manticore.
[TL Note: Here is Manticore’s profile: /wiki/Manticore/Overview.]
I Have a Strong Presence: …I can’t feel happy about that at all. Also, don’t call me Sage Megumi. It is very embarrassing.
Suddenly, Rhodes Island’s group ahead of Chen Heng stopped, having run into a group of Reunion members. These Reunion members coincidentally blocked the route. If Rhodes Island’s group wanted to go around, it would have to travel very far.
Chen Heng quickly caught up.
“What’s wrong?”
“These people are blocking a critical part of our shortest route. More importantly, we do not have much time left. The catastrophe will arrive soon.” Dobermann glanced at the sky. The sky had turned gloomy, looking like it would fall.
Chen Heng suddenly recalled a line from a poem: The city might crumble under the mass of dark clouds; dark clouds bearing down on the city threaten to overwhelm it. Although the line was about something else, it did describe the current atmosphere quite well.
