Swordsman Returns from Another World

Kuai's hand pressed on Baiyou's back, and his fingertips used force to grasp Baiyou's clothes.

From shivering in coldness, it turned into a gentle, begging twisting.

It wasn't even a kiss, but Kuei-Ye couldn't refuse.

After another ten minutes or so, Wormwood's body finally warmed up.

It was already completely evening.

"Thank...thank you..." Absinthe said in a low voice with a red face.

She has to thank us!

Baiyu smiled evilly and kissed Kuai's neck, and said softly, "You're welcome. My name is Baiyu, what's yours?"

"I... my name is Zoya." Kuai's breathing was a little heavy, and her red eyes were full of spring. She had not yet recovered from Baiyou's teasing.

I was thinking in my heart.

This... why is this boy so ambiguous right from the start... who taught him this?

Baiyue hugged Kuai and continued, "Shall we go eat? Are you feeling better?"

"Ah... yes, I'm much better."

He stretched out his hand towards Absinthe and said, "Come on, get up, Sister Zoya."

Kuai shook hands with him and used the force to stand up. However, due to the numbness in his legs, he walked with a limp.

It was not until he stood up that Kuai realized that the white glaze in front of him was actually up to his chest. No wonder he felt so comfortable hugging it before, it was simply a large teddy bear.

It's comfortable and warm to hug, and he can use his mouth to please people... I really want to hug him like this forever...

"Sister Zoya, can you let me go?"

Absinthe suddenly came to his senses and found that he had hugged Baiyou tightly without knowing when.

"Ah, sorry!"

Baiyou pulled her towards the direction where Lindong and others were.

After a while, Absinthe finally regained his composure.

Baiyou lit a fire in the middle of the supermarket; they needed warmth more than light.

You know, it's December now, the beginning of winter, and Chernobyl is starting to get cold.

Baiyou poked the fire with a discarded spoon and said, "The situation is not good, but it is not bad either. Our support is on the way and will arrive at midnight tonight. We just need to hold this place well and withdraw from Chernobyl at dawn tomorrow."

"Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you that I'm from Rhodes Island. Everyone in Rhodes Island calls me Doctor."

After these words were spoken, Lin Dong and others had no reaction, only Zao Lu and Zhenli looked at Bai You twice.

Zaolu held her coffee cup in her hand and sat elegantly on a fallen refrigerator. She said, "I've heard of Rhodes Island. It's an institution that was established to cure the infected. But what is a doctorate?"

Baiyue continued to stir the fire: "I am a doctor of medicine and the combat commander of Rhodes Island."

"Huh?!" Lin Dong stared at him in disbelief.

Gumi spat out a mouthful of hot soup.

"You are so young, but you are a doctor of medicine? And a combat commander... Why would a pharmaceutical company in Rhodes Island have a combat commander?!" Liexia also stared.

Kuai sat next to Baiyou and looked at him curiously. His expression was cold, but the two bear ears on his head were shaking.

"It's a long story for a child without a mother." Bai Yu sighed, "If you must say, this is the first day I was born."

Absinthe's eyes widened in horror.

What does the first day mean? Not to mention how a child can be so big and have status on the first day of birth, putting those aside...

She suddenly realized a horrifying fact. She wouldn't be caught for what happened between her and Bai You just now!

Being a policeman dad...I disappoint you!

I have done something irreparable wrong!

Absinthe blushed and lowered her head, feeling guilty.

Just then, there was some movement outside the supermarket.

Baiyou raised his head and communicated with the silver honey demon underground.

Then, he smiled.

He stood up and said, "I believe you still have many questions, but it doesn't matter. We will have plenty of time in the future."

"Now I invite you all... to come visit Rhodes Island after escaping from Chernobog." He smiled and walked towards the exit of the supermarket.

Outside the supermarket, someone was also walking towards him.

They were a group of people who looked a little tired and dusty, but all of them had smiles on their faces. They were wearing black and blue uniforms and walking with their heads held high.

They were holding weapons, but their eyes were not as ferocious as those of the Integration Movement. Instead, they revealed a sense of determination. The entire team was divided into five teams, and they walked towards the direction of the supermarket in a well-trained manner.

Baiyou stood at the door, and then a brown-haired Carters girl ran out of the team, running excitedly and waving her arms.

"PhD!"

Baiyou walked out of the supermarket and opened his arms towards her.

The petite girl ran wildly, finally hugged Baiyou, and threw herself into his arms.

"Good evening, Amiya."

"...Good evening, Doctor!"

There was joy in Amiya's eyes and she hugged the Doctor tightly.

By this time, it was already midnight.

The team moved towards Baiyue. ACE came to Baiyue and said, "Doctor, we went to the Peterheim Middle School you mentioned."

"It was indeed occupied by the Reunion as you said, but due to the conflict between Tallulah and you, it is now empty."

"We rescued several people there, one of whom was a member of the Ursus military police, and he brought his wife with him."

"His wife crossed half of the city to find the military police during the most dangerous time after the disaster, and then followed the military police to Peterheim Middle School. She is really admirable."

"They have a request, which is to ask us to help find his child, I think her name is Zoya. I temporarily agreed, but you know, this kind of thing is like looking for a needle in a haystack."

"I'm sorry for taking the initiative." ACE nodded in apology.

Baiyou smiled and looked relieved.

"Ah, it looks like everything is in time, that's great." He turned around and pointed at the supermarket: "The Zoya you're looking for is right here."

"It seems that fate is on my side this time, ACE. It seems that this time, the plot belongs to us."

He laughed out loud. Although he didn't know what happened, seeing Baiyou so innocently happy, ACE also laughed softly.

Chapter 30: Rhodes Island is coming

Above the earth, huge ships are moving.

Rhodes Island is traveling on the land of Ursus.

On this vast plain, there are still countless traces that are more than one person deep and stretch for thousands of meters. They are traces left by the movement of cities that were once connected with Chernobyl. Those cities almost escaped from Chernobyl on time.

They did not extend a helping hand to Chernobyl, nor did they issue a warning to the civilians in the city. They just retreated quietly.

With those nobles who sensed something was wrong in advance.

Now on this land, one can only see a few sparks burning in the wilderness. They are the infected people who have heard the news and have come here. They are like morning stars dotted on the wasteland.

They were guarding their own fires, suffering from oripathy, with only one thought in their minds, which was the news that the people of the Integration Movement had spread everywhere not long ago.

"City of the Infected", Chernobyl.

They may not have the courage to kill ordinary people, nor the courage to take revenge on the nobles of Ursus, they just want to have a place to go.

The towering city in the distance with flames burning, thick smoke rising, and huge Originium crystals growing on it is their hope.

The city was submerged in darkness, and the burning flames seemed to be the rhythm of the monster's breathing.

Looking at the city immersed in destruction, the infected in the wilderness couldn't help but ask themselves.

Can a city like that, built on the blood of Ursus civilians, really be the home of these poor people...

Rhode Island passed by one fire after another.

The infected people turned their gazes back to the land ship they had seen before, looked at the flag erected on the tallest mast, looked at the man in black and blue uniform standing at the bow, looking forward.

The roar of Rhodes Island's advance woke up the dark wasteland, and the sparks from the bonfires on the wasteland trembled. Those who looked at Chernobog's hesitation longed for the ship to stop.

But for ordinary infected people, Rhodes Island is far away.

In Terra's history, there has been more than one such institution, Rhodes Island.

Those institutions, under the name of treating infected people and gathering infected people, are composed of elites from all walks of life. Just thinking about the composition of those elites is enough to discourage ordinary infected people.

Why should we believe that those big figures whom we may never meet in our entire lives will really sacrifice themselves for the extremely humble infected people?

All infected people know that Rhodes Island wants to cure Ore Disease.

All infected people know that Rhodes Island treats all infected people equally.

But no one dared to verify it. Those infected people who were oppressed to the point of feeling humbled could not muster up the courage to knock on the door of Rhodes Island.

Rhodes Island is an elite organization. Unlike the Integration Movement, the Integration Movement does not have a grand vision like curing oripathy. The banner they raise is just that the infected people help each other and can make life better.

On the deck of Rhode Island.

Looking at the bonfires lit in the dark wilderness, Yaye fell into deep thought.

"Yaye, are you okay?" Huang came up from behind her: "You are too close to the edge, be careful not to fall."

"Dr. Kal'tsit hasn't come back yet?" she continued.

Yaye shook her head and sighed, "Teacher is still in Longmen, and she asked us to go directly to Longmen after picking up the doctor and the others."

Huang walked to the railing and looked at the dark wasteland in front of him.

She was like a nimble big cat. With one light jump she reached the top of the railing. The railing, which was only two fingers thick, felt like flat ground under her feet.

Huang paced lightly, looking at the wasteland in front of him, and said: "Are those people infected?"

"Yeah." Yaye's eyes were a little lost, and she said sadly: "Can you count how many there are? Huang?"

"...too many to count, just like the stars in the sky, or maybe even more than the stars." Huang shook his head.

Yaye was silent. She focused her eyes and squinted to try to see what was happening at the nearest campfire not far away, but she could only see a pair of eyes full of hatred staring at Chernobog in the distance.

"...Those are human lives, Huang." She was completely lost, and the two furry ears on her head fell down. She said dejectedly: "They don't accept our help, nor do they believe in our rescue. To them, Rhodes Island is a high and mighty organization that cannot be trusted."

"These people will become accomplices of the integration movement sooner or later, but, but... it's not their fault." Yaye's hands clenched the railing: "Teacher taught me that we don't have to save everyone in this world. Sometimes we have to give up other things for the sake of the biggest goal... but, but I really don't want that."

“But I don’t know what to do.”

Huang turned his head, looked at her worried face, and snorted.

Yaye raised her head: "What are you laughing at?"

Huang was proud: "Although I don't know what to do, but as Dr. Kal'tsit said, the doctor is a very capable person. I believe that when he comes back, he can at least come up with a better solution than the two of us."

"Everyone should do what they are supposed to do, Yaye. For me, it means cutting off anything that's blocking the way. For you, it means managing the patients assigned to you well." Huang stretched out his arms and walked on the railing, with the tail behind him shaking.

She was always on the verge of falling, but when she was about to fall, she would always turn around and steady herself.
