Yes, especially when we're with this bunch of clowns, it completely ruins Rhodes Island's image. Should we tell Wei and the others that these people are just temporary employees and don't represent the true quality of Rhodes Island's operators?

"Doctor, could you explain this?" Amiya, who had also been invited to the party, walked over with a newspaper from a few days ago, smiling as she pointed to the entertainment section and asked.

"Well... I... I have something to discuss with Commander Wei, I'll talk to him later..." Qin Duanyu was startled when she saw the three familiar figures on the newspaper.

These unscrupulous reporters, how can they dare to write anything in the newspaper? Aren't they afraid of being held responsible if their reports are inaccurate?

“Yes, I’m also very curious to know who Bo, Shi, and Chen are in this story.” Bai Jin walked over with a smile, blocking his way out.

They were just saying that the operators at headquarters are highly qualified, but they're probably going to start a fight on the spot and completely ruin Rhodes Island's image.

"Excuse me for interrupting, but I have some questions to ask the Doctor about the temporary transfer cooperation." Just as black energy gathered in Amiya's hands and her platinum eyes shone, Wei Yanwu suddenly walked over and said with a smile.

The meaning conveyed by those longan eyes couldn't be clearer: HXD, I'm here to save you!

"Yes, yes, I'll leave for a bit." Qin Duanyu immediately realized what he meant and followed him into a cubicle, finally letting out a sigh of relief. "Thanks to you, Lao Wei."

"Bai Xue... is that the ninja my wife sent? Is she around here?" Wei Yanwu asked, still somewhat worried, after checking behind the curtains, under the table, and on the roof beams.

"No need to check anymore. Yawn Ninja didn't come today, so he couldn't hear our conversation." Seeing the old dragon head's nervous look, Qin Duanyu pursed his lips, but since the other party had at least helped him out of the predicament, he could only say helplessly.

"That's good, that's good." Wei Yanwu's expression softened, and he then put his hand on Qin Duanyu's shoulder. "Boss, could you teach me a few moves?"

"You and Madam Wen Yue have been recognized as a model couple in Longmen for many consecutive years, right?"

"I do love Wen Yue, but does that stop me from going to nightclubs for drinks? I would never do anything to betray Wen Yue, as long as she doesn't keep such a strict eye on me and gives me some personal space!"

"Get lost, Lao Wei, you piece of trash! I have nothing to teach you!"

I'm almost dead myself, how can I have the time to care about you!

Women like men who make them laugh, but they truly love men who make them cry. I really wanted to write about Old Chen disregarding everything for the PhD, but I felt that wouldn't be her, and our relationship hadn't reached that point yet. So I had to let Old Chen struggle with this for now. But I can guarantee that I'll give Chen a happy ending.

Finally, I'd like to recommend a new Arknights fanfiction book by a popular author using an alternate account: "On Why the Support System Maximizes Affection Levels."

Chapter 79, Section 84: My brother said he can't shake hands with you.

The next morning.

Having gotten used to the wake-up service provided by the Penguin Logistics girls, Qin Duanyu practically sprang out of bed with a whoosh, thanks to the magical voice of Rhodes Island's dedicated wake-up assistant.

His dormant muscle memory was quickly awakened. He abandoned his previous lazy habit of dawdling in bed and finished washing up in no time, then changed back into the slightly uncomfortable loose robe.

"Ch... Lappland, good morning!" Following his memory, he arrived at the top-floor office and greeted the busy figures inside, then suddenly remembered that he had returned to Rhodes Island.

"Doctor, calling a girl by the wrong name is an unforgivable crime. Even I would be angry." Lappland's smile remained unchanged, but her hand was already on the hilt of her sword.

"It's mainly because you're wearing a beautiful new outfit today, so I didn't recognize you at first." His strong survival instinct kicked in. Looking at the girl gently wagging her tail, he suddenly remembered that Texas had changed into the same outfit when he went shopping that day after earning some extra money.

Sure enough, as soon as the words left her mouth, Lappland's tail wagged even higher.

"Alright, this is the personnel reassignment during your absence. As per the previously agreed-upon direction, the focus is on strengthening the weaknesses of each group. Those that have already achieved combat effectiveness are all here." She placed a stack of personnel reports in front of Qin Duanyu and said happily.

"Heh, it seems the HR department finally did something while I was gone?" Qin Duanyu scanned the files and recognized quite a few names, such as Douzilong, Guigui, and Liuxing.

They might have heard of Rhode Island and proactively submitted their resumes to the HR department, or they might have been discovered by the local office, passed the tests, and been recruited, or even been picked up along the way.

Although it is far from being a strong and well-equipped force, it is much stronger than when he first arrived on the island. With reasonable personnel allocation, it can handle both small-scale elite operations and melee battles in medium-sized battlefields.

As for large-scale warfare... if Rhodes Island had that capability, Lungmen probably wouldn't even allow land-based ships to enter the dock. Young Doctor, you should focus on flirting with girls and stop daydreaming.

After getting to know the new operators a little, he arrived at the training ground accompanied by Lappland. Compared to its somewhat empty state in the past, the ground was much more lively now.

"Now let's practice sword swings. Do 100 downward slashes, paying attention to using your core strength. Make sure your posture is correct." In the third training ground, a young girl was training more than a dozen new trainee operators.

Melanie, whom I haven't seen for many days.

Although she still has that cute outfit, her demeanor has matured considerably. She even meticulously instructs new operators on how to use swords. Compared to Platinum, Blue Poison, and Lappland, the girl's transformation is undoubtedly the most significant.

"You guys keep practicing!" Suddenly, Melantha's nose twitched, and she turned around to look at Qin Duanyu, revealing a delighted smile. "No wonder I smelled that familiar perfume, Doctor, you've arrived!"

The new operators, still in training, moved in perfect unison, but their faces showed surprise. They never expected that this aloof swordsmanship instructor would have such a cute expression.

"You've really changed a lot. You're much more mature and confident than before..." Qin Duanyu smiled and tried to pet the cat's head, but the girl deftly avoided her.

Are you shy?

"Doctor, many operators have recently heard about your anecdotes in Lungmen. I even bought that issue of the newspaper to read it. Could you explain why the characteristics of the person in question are so similar to yours?" Melantha asked curiously, tilting her head, her aura suddenly becoming sharp.

"De de de de de de de de~" Lappland hummed the background music of a professional team, with a gloating look on her face.

Just as Qin Duanyu was trying to explain that the unscrupulous reporter had fabricated stories to boost sales, a dispute came from the shooting range not far away. He quickly pretended to be interested and rushed over.

"Your accuracy and attack power are up to standard, but your mobility and defensive awareness are completely inadequate!"

"Instructor, I've already told you this kind of place isn't suitable for me; I can't use my skills at all."

"As a sniper operator, you should be able to adapt to all kinds of combat environments, even if you are using a long gun."

It turned out to be a Doberman and a pink-haired Sarkaz girl. The girl was holding a Pocky and looking lazy, which was exactly the type of girl that Doberman hated the most. It subconsciously reminded Doberman of Klose and Skyblast, those lazy guys.

“Miss Dubin, this venue is indeed limiting her performance. Let’s move her to the first training field.” Looking at the girl’s helpless expression, Qin Duanyu said to Dubin with a smile.

……

Soon, the area outside the first training ground was filled with people. This was the first time the Doctor had personally assessed the operators since returning to the island, and he had even put them on a Senior Operator difficulty level.

The first drone was released, but it only managed to fly a few steps.

boom!

The pink-haired Sakota girl pulled the trigger and shot it down.

Isn't that an exaggeration?

The operators stared wide-eyed, as if they were witnessing the killing of Japanese soldiers from 800 miles away. This range was more than twice that of a crossbow! Although firearms did have a longer range than crossbows, this was still beyond the range that the sights could observe.

Could it be a blind shot?

"Look at the box behind her, that's a radar device. Only when combined with her Originium Arts can it achieve such a long range," Qin Duanyu explained to everyone, pointing to the iron box the girl was carrying on her back.

Even though she was using an old-fashioned gun, the girl's attacks were both steady and ruthless. Even though the rate of fire was a bit slow, the extremely long attack range still gave her the opportunity to pick off enemies one by one.

If the frequency isn't enough, make up for it with intensity.

As the number of drones gradually increased, sweat beaded on the girl's forehead, and the light wings on her back suddenly shone brightly.

Sakota heatsink, start!

The firearms in Terra are different from those in the world he traveled to before. They are not simply a matter of pulling the trigger; they also require Originium Arts to operate, and high-intensity firing can put a strain on the body.

At this point, the Sakotas' unique light wings came into play.

Similarly, Machider and Exusiai can also do this, while poor Andrcheir, because he doesn't have a license to use firearms, has no use for the light wings on his back and can only watch enviously as Ambriel spreads her wings to shoot down planes.

Even though she ultimately lost in close combat without any suspense because she wasn't fast enough at clearing out heavily armed enemies, it was clear to everyone that this pink-haired Sarkaz girl's strength was definitely at the level of a high-ranking official operator.

The so-called problems of insufficient mobility and inadequate protection awareness are not issues in the face of its astonishing length.

"Judging from your attire, you must be the Doctor my brother mentioned, right?" Ambriel nodded at him, a strange glint in her eyes. "You were able to figure out my sniping tactics. No wonder my brother praised you so highly, saying you're incredibly talented, knowledgeable, a master strategist, well-informed, outstanding, and always ready to help others..."

"That's right, I'm the Doctor that Little Ma mentioned. Welcome to Rhodes Island, Miss Ambriel." Qin Duanyu was extremely pleased by the compliment and extended her hand to the sweet-talking sniper operator.

"I'm sorry, my brother specifically told me not to shake your hand. Although I don't believe that this level of contact would result in pregnancy, I'll trust him this once." Ambriel thought for a moment, feeling that standing there like this was a bit impolite, so she took out a box of Pocky from her pocket. "Here, just opened, it's for you."

The way he was so cautious seemed to be that he was afraid of running into Qin Duanyu.

Even Melanie, who had become much more composed and mature, gave an awkward but polite smile.

The next chapter will officially begin the story of the Broken Bones Misha and her brother. From here on, it may be different from the main story (as if it hadn't been changed before). Fundamentalists beware.

After all, when this book was first written, the new plot hadn't been released yet. Now that the outline has added the new plot, it can only barely guarantee basic logical consistency. But don't worry, Theresa will be there, the Regent will be beaten up, and Miss W will be there.

Please look forward to how Little 9 will fill the hole QAQ

Section 85, Chapter 80: Is the Golden Brigade joking with you?

A few days later, on the outer ring road of Longmen, in an abandoned urban area.

Just like the metabolism of living organisms, mobile cities will abandon some useless blocks, either because their power systems are old and in disrepair, or because they have lost their value, and even some "worthless" residents will be left behind.

This place is even worse than the slums. In addition to the abandoned residents, infected people who are not allowed to enter Lungmen and refugees from Chernobog all gather here, barely able to shelter from the wind and rain by relying on the ruins, forming small settlements.

Because they were extremely dependent on supplies from within the city, these small settlements would be destroyed when the city moved again to escape natural disasters. However, for these poor people who were just trying to live one more day, the abandoned city was already a decent place to live.

Amidst the roar of engines, several Hummer jeeps passed through the Guard Bureau checkpoint and drove into the heart of the abandoned city. Only when the road conditions were no longer suitable for vehicles did the group disembark.

Looking at the girls from Penguin Logistics, the Black Steel International Comedy Group, Amiya, Platinum, and Lappland, Qin Duanyu stretched, looking as relaxed as if he were taking the girls on a picnic.

"...The target is a short-haired Ursus girl, about 1.45 meters tall, named Misha!" Chen's voice came through the communicator.

The Guard Bureau was quite straightforward, stating directly that their main objective was to find an Ursus girl, and that clearing out the Reunion Movement members hidden in the ruins was just a side task.

There was no way to hide it. Wei Yanwu had him stay in the Imperial Guard Bureau for almost a month to test Qin Duanyu. Anyone who wasn't really stupid could see through some of the clues.

Even though the agreement still had a few days left before it expired, Wei Yanwu took the initiative to terminate the secondment. Given Lungmen's wealth and resources, it's probably not because they were worried about his food and lodging expenses, but because they sensed that a battle was about to break out and were eager to send him back to integrate Rhodes Island's operations department.

Even when Swire sent the three brothers of the inspection team to patrol the refugee settlement, it was probably to let them familiarize themselves with the environment as soon as possible in order to prepare for this operation.

Moreover, he had just finished getting his team in sync when he received a mission from the Guard Bureau, specifically requesting that he lead the team personally. Even without having read the story, he knew that Lungmen's mission was definitely more than just Rhodes Island maintaining order and searching for unregistered infected individuals.

It's better to just say it openly and honestly to avoid unnecessary suspicion.

"Hmm, Doctor, let's be a little more serious. This mission isn't easy. The security in the abandoned city has deteriorated rapidly. I heard that even the guards have been injured while on patrol." Amiya couldn't help but remind him, seeing something moving vaguely in the building.

After discovering Qin Duanyu and his group, the residents of the settlement quickly hid in their houses. Looking through his omniscient perspective, he noticed many red dots hidden inside and couldn't help but sigh helplessly.

This is more than just a deterioration in public security; the area has been thoroughly infiltrated. If it weren't for the system's built-in friend-or-foe identification function, it would probably be like the army of some country in another world, traumatized by a talking tree.

"It's alright, I've already sent someone to handle it." Qin Duanyu shrugged and gestured for everyone to continue.

Amiya then realized that Lappland, Platinum, and Texas had left the team at some point.

……

"Amos, those guys are getting closer to us. They look like Rhodes Island bastards. Should we call the brothers to go for it?"

"Alright, have everyone lie in ambush at the alley entrance. These bastards killed many of our compatriots in Chernobog, and now they're acting as lackeys for Lungmen. They're a bunch of traitors who deserve to die!"

"Yeah, the Reunion Movement is clearly the future and hope for the Infected, so why don't these guys understand? Hmph, I'm eyeing that hooded guy. He must be a high-ranking official. I'll kill this disgusting guy first."
