Swordsman Returns from Another World

They pounced and bit, aiming for the throat. They moved in groups of two or three, passing over the fallen people and besieging their targets.

Just when Hong Yun was confused, she was suddenly pulled up by a big hand holding her collar.

The field operator in the Rhodes Island uniform shouted at her, "Move! Little thing!"

Before she could react to what was happening, a package was stuffed into her arms.

The field operator shouted loudly, with fire in her eyes, just like the first time she met this guy. That day, this guy handed over an employment contract with a smile on his face.

Hong Yun regarded the employment contract as hope. As long as she signed the contract, she would become a partner of the pharmaceutical company Rhodes Island and would be able to obtain a method to treat oripathy.

Now, the field operator handed her another hope, something that was hope for the operators, that package.

"Take the package with you! Go to Rhodes Island! Give it to the Doctor!" After the field operator said this, he waved his hand and threw Hongyun's petite body out.

Hong Yun was confused and felt the ground in front of her getting closer and closer, but then a gentle breeze supported her body, allowing her to land steadily.

A mage field operator walked past her while restoring his staff.

Hong Yun quickly raised his head and looked at him: "Wait! What should I do with this thing!"

The magician looked down at her, smiled, and said, "You know how to survive in the wilderness outside Syracuse better than we do, so take this thing and leave, little one."

"No, no! According to the contract, I am the one who is supposed to escort you. How can you..."

Before she could finish her words, the magician turned around and strode towards the battlefield.

This group of people...are they crazy?

Holding the package tightly in his arms, Hongyun looked at everything in front of him helplessly.

The field operator who had signed the contract with him was already at the front with two swords in hand, followed closely by the magician operator. They stepped over the bodies of their companions and charged forward in coordination with the wolf pack.

Although they didn't know where these wolves came from, they both understood that this was their last chance.

Hongyun's breathing became rapid. She finally came to her senses, tied the package around her waist with the tourniquet she carried with her, and then picked up her bow again.

She raised her prosthetic left hand tremblingly, and her almost powerless right hand took out a sharp arrow from the quiver at her waist and put it back on the string.

Then, aim at distant enemies.

She wasn't going to back down until her quiver was empty.

Arrows from unknown friendly forces flew past her ears and hit distant enemies again and again. These Syracuse mafia seemed determined to seize the package, so they did not back down.

The wolves were howling and roaring, the two Rhodes Island field operators were fighting desperately, Hong Yun had tears in his eyes and was gasping for breath.

She tried her best to keep her breathing steady, endured the stinging sensation of sweat in her eyes, and loosened the bowstring in her hand.

Two arrows flew out at the same time in the air, straight forward.

Chapter 460: Black Wolf and Yellow Fox's Road of Hope

The battle is over.

On the field, apart from Hongyun, only a few wolves could be considered alive.

Hong Yun knelt dejectedly on the ground. His prosthetic limb had long since lost control. The bow slipped out of his hand and fell onto the muddy ground, staining it black.

She stared blankly at the entire battlefield, glancing at her former companions.

In such a battle with a huge disparity between the enemy and us, there is almost no suspense.

Except Hongyun, everyone is dead.

The brutality of the battlefield made Hong Yun unable to look away. He could only let the tears fill his eyes and blur his vision.

Hongyun is also a miserable person.

Similar to Ziyue, Hongyun is also one of the people who survive in the Syracuse wilderness, but she is more closely connected with civilization.

When she was young, the wilderness settlement where she lived was massacred by the Ursus mercenary group.

After that, the young Hongyun embarked on the road of revenge and was helped by an old hunter. From then on, he became a hunter in the Syracuse wilderness and made a living by hunting.

As Hong Yun had no knowledge of oripathy and always went in and out of dangerous environments, he was infected with oripathy unsurprisingly. People in the wilderness were always full of prejudice and rumors about oripathy, so Hong Yun didn't even know how to treat oripathy.

In the wilderness of Syracuse, people could only...passively accept their fate.

Until...she received a new contract in a certain settlement.

A contract of employment from a field operator from Rhodes Island.

"Your oripathy is quite serious. Fortunately, we in Rhodes Island have the strongest medical treatment base for oripathy in all of Terra. Do you want to..."

I shouldn't have signed it in the first place...

Hong Yun choked and slowly stood up, picked up his bow with his right hand and swung it twice.

There was no time for her to feel sad. Since these mafia gangs came for the package, there must be people waiting for the news of success or failure. After learning that these people had failed, more people would surely come.

She had to leave here quickly and head towards Rhodes Island. When Rhodes Island passed by the outside of Syracuse, it would be Hong Yun's only chance to complete the mission.

But just as Hongyun stood up, he heard footsteps behind him.

Just as she was about to turn around, Zi Yue swung his bow arm and hit her hard on the waist.

Hong Yun fell to the ground. Although he didn't know what happened, he subconsciously protected the package around his waist under his body and curled up.

Zi Yue stood beside her with a cold look in his eyes, and the wolves slowly surrounded her.

"Give me that thing, that thing you got," she whispered.

Hongyun coughed, her petite body curled up, and she said nothing.

"What is that thing? Food? Or something else?" Ziyue was not in a hurry to kill Hongyun, but looked around: "What is it that so many people are fighting for?"

"You have no shortage of food or clothes. What on earth is it that would force you to kill each other to get it?"

Hong Yun took a deep breath and whispered, "It's hope..."

"Hope..." Zi Yue chewed on this word which was too unfamiliar to him, and suddenly felt something tremble in his heart.

"What does hope mean?" she continued.

Hongyun sneered. She hugged the package tightly with both hands, squinted at Ziyue standing beside her, and whispered, "Don't you understand what hope is?"

She noticed the Originium crystal on Ziyue's ankle and realized that this wild girl in front of her, who was a few years older than her, was also a patient of mineralopathy.

So, Hongyun brought out the excuse that the field operator had once told her.

"When you can't sleep at night because of the pain of the disease, the Originium grows in your body, taking away all your rights as a human being, and letting you clearly know that one day you will die at the hands of this disease... When you realize that the Origin Disease is like a thug with a knife, taking away everything you have and even your life."

"When you want to change everything in your heart, you are craving for hope."

Ziyue listened to Hongyun's words, paused, and whispered: "It's like, when I was surrounded by other wolves, and my wolf came to save me, that kind of feeling I had...?"

"But you have enough food and clothes...what do you want to do?" Ziyue frowned.

"This is... the hope of more people." Hong Yun continued, grinning, with a somewhat fierce smile: "I don't understand so much, but they said... with this thing, we can save many, many people."

It’s not about whether there’s enough food, or whether clothes can keep you warm in the winter, it’s not about survival itself, but about something much nobler, more... indescribable.

Zi Yue looked around the battlefield again, looking at the bodies lying on the muddy ground. Their blood formed a pool of blood on the ground, mixing with the dark and muddy potholes. The surface of the water formed by the mixture of sewage and blood glowed with a strange luster in the sunlight.

I can’t understand it, but... why do I feel a throbbing sensation in my heart?

It's like witnessing the death of an old wolf in the pack, or seeing a companion being pierced by the horns of a beast of burden... What is this feeling?

Hope, what is it that makes these people want to pass it on even at the cost of their lives?

I really want to know...

Ziyue covered his chest, feeling the strange emotion, and whispered: "Then, where are you going to take that thing to find the so-called hope?"

Hongyun raised his head, hugged the package with both hands, and looked at the girl in front of him.

"I want to go... to Rhode Island."

"Rhode Island... is it far away?"

"Very far, farther than the farthest end of the Syracuse wilderness."

"How long will it take? What kind of place is that?"

"Several days, maybe... There are a lot of people there, how should I put it, it's very... warm? Actually, I haven't been there either."

"Warm? In this season? In a place like the city? I hate places with ceilings..."

Hong Yun hugged the package tightly, frowning in surprise: "What do you want to say?"

"I want to go and take a look." Zi Yue slowly let go of the bowstring, put the arrow back into his quiver, and stared at the yellow-haired Wolper child in front of him.

“I want to know what hope is, and why people who have no worries about food, clothing, wintering, and hunting are willing to sacrifice their lives to find it.”

"If there is hope for Rhodes Island, I must go and see it."

She stretched out her hand, her eyes firm and curious: "You can call me Ziyue! It's the name Agnese gave me. You are the second one who can call me that."

"Let's go to Rhodes Island together!" she said in a deep voice.

Hongyun stretched out his dirty hand and held Ziyue's hand tightly.

She was pulled up by Ziyue, and a wolf next to her came forward, holding Hongyun's bow in its mouth.

The black wolf, who was isolated from civilization, finally became interested in civilization because of the word hope.

The yellow fox, who had experienced loss twice, finally had a companion again.

Chapter 461: The bears have their own agenda

Lin Guang walked briskly to the door of Baiyue's office and pushed it open.

As soon as she entered the house, she smelled a familiar scent.

Although Baiyou was sitting upright in the chair, Lin Guang quickly realized that Baiyou must have... done it.

Did it with someone.

Lin Guang was not in a hurry to look for any traces. She understood that her lover always liked to take care of everything after being affectionate. Besides, there was no need for her to look for any traces.

Lin Guang strode to Baiyue's desk, gently threw the documents in his hand on the table, and said with a smile: "Doctor, your documents."

Bai You took the document and looked at it, then looked up at Lin Guang at this moment and said, "Just finished training?"

"Yeah, that's right." Lin Guang nodded with a smile: "After training, my body has accumulated some fatigue, so I wanted to come to you."

She glanced at the open door in the direction of the bathroom, then looked at Baiyue, narrowed her eyes, and asked with her mouth: "Is there anyone else in the room?"

Not long ago, the violence had changed his clothes and left, so Baiyue shook his head: "No."

Since there was no one else in the room, Lin Guang didn't have to hide. She walked to Bai You's side, smiled and lowered her head.

Baiyou could smell the almost fragrant scent of sweat on her body. It was a misty aura of freshly secreted sweat. It was not smelly, but instead exuded a strong sense of vitality.

"Margaret..." Baiyou called in a low voice.

Lin Guang smiled with satisfaction and whispered, "Yes, I'm here."

After saying that, she continued to lower her head, lifted the hair on the side of her neck with one hand, and gently held the armrest of the chair with the other hand to kiss Baiyue's lips.

Lin Guang's kiss was still as passionate and proactive as before. His tongue penetrated into Baiyou's mouth, bringing with it a slight scent of energy drinks - she would drink it after training.

After a kiss, Lin Guang pecked the corner of Bai You's mouth, his eyes a little hazy, and said, "I miss you so much."

"We see each other every day." Bai You smiled helplessly, pulled up her hand that was resting on the chair, and rubbed it gently.

"But this doesn't stop me from missing you. It's natural to miss your lover every day."

As Lin Guang spoke, she lowered her head again and kissed the tip of Baiyou's nose, showing the initiative of a heroic woman.

This made Baiyou feel a little overwhelmed. He swallowed his saliva and said, "Why are you so proactive today?"

Lin Guang couldn't explain this clearly. It seemed that every time she found out that Baiyou was doing it with someone else, she would always have inexplicable emotions and would want to act coquettishly with Baiyou.

Only in front of Baiyou would she show her feminine side. Perhaps that was why she became more and more dependent on Baiyou.

The upright and brilliant knight who was relied upon by others also had someone he wanted to rely on.

Lin Guang took off the towel hanging around his neck, gently placed it on the table, and then said, "Can I stay with you during this lunch break?"

"Of course!" Baiyou nodded: "Then, you go take a shower first, I'll go to the cafeteria to get you some food?"

"Yeah." Lin Guang nodded with a smile, then turned his head to look towards the bathroom.
