Arknights Welcome to Terra Continent

She expected Beichen to give a reasonable reason, even if it was just one that sounded reasonable.

But when someone in front of Kal'tsit heard what Kal'tsit said, he just smiled faintly and sat up straighter.

He looked at Kal'tsit seriously, and then said, "Hey, you want to know? I won't tell you. It's your fault for always telling me riddles. You just need to know that I had something important to do, Kal'tsit."

"......"

She really shouldn't expect the hanged man in front of her to give any reasonable explanation. Instead of asking him, she might as well ask the equally unreliable Jijing. After all, Beichen's mouth is hard to control. Maybe one day when he brags, he will tell Jijing and others.

As for why Kal'tsit knew this, it was of course because Jijing's mouth was even more out of control and he often told the Doctor all sorts of nonsense. Fortunately, with the Doctor's attentiveness, he could often capture a lot of useful information from Jijing's words.

But if you want to ask Beichen something seriously, sorry, no way, he basically knows nothing.

"What if I don't approve your overseas assignment and leave you in Rhodes Island to perform security work?"

Kal'tsit asked with a dark face. Apart from Beichen, there were few people who could make his emotions fluctuate so much.

"Ah? Kal'tsit, what do you mean?"

Kal'tsit picked up the cup, took a sip slowly, and then explained: "It's just a simple investigation mission. Too much human resources will only cause waste. What's more, there is an elite operator among the expatriates in the same area. I believe she can complete the task perfectly."

"With your abilities, you can definitely be put to greater use."

Kal'tsit just said this on purpose. She wanted to know more. Although if Beichen really didn't want to tell her, she wouldn't make things difficult for Beichen.

She looked at Beichen again and found that he said nothing after listening to her words. He just lowered his head silently, as if thinking about something.

After a while, Beichen raised his head and looked at Kal'tsit, then asked seriously.

"What if I tell you that one elite operator might not be enough for the place I'm going to?"

".............?"

Kal'tsit wanted to ask more, but in the end she just silently stamped the list of field application submitted by Beichen.

Seeing this scene, Beichen also grinned.

"Thanks, Kal'tsit. I promise I won't let you down... No, when have I ever let you down?"

Beichen walked towards the office door. Just as Kal'tsit was about to remind him that he hadn't taken the application form, the thing started spinning on his fingertips.

I watched Beichen walk out of the office, then slammed the door shut as usual, and then loud footsteps were heard in the corridor.

Kal'tsit fell into deep thought, and she began to consider the meaning of Beichen's words.

One elite operator might not be enough? But it was just an ordinary town, compared to the other mobile cities around it.

What will happen? Will additional personnel be needed? Can Beichen solve it?

Kal'tsit raised the pen in her hand and thought for a moment, but ultimately did not put it down.

She had something more important to consider.

Both for Rhode Island and for this land.

.............................

"Hill County........."

The elite operator named Outcast adjusted his hat and glanced at the information in his hand.

"A medium-sized mobile city, not too far from Londinium, with agriculture and light industry as its mainstays, and not closely connected with the surrounding counties."

Outcast glanced at the city he was about to enter.

"It is exactly the same as described in the intelligence."

Beep beep beep, beep beep beep.

An abrupt voice suddenly sounded, Outcast took out his communicator, and then held it as far away from his ear as possible, and finally pressed the answer button.

"Outcast, are you here yet?"

A sound that could be heard from a long distance came out of the communicator. If you didn't know, you would think it was playing with the external speaker on.

It seems that keeping the communicator away from the ear in advance is indeed a wise choice.

Outcast smiled helplessly and said, "It's just been a minute. Did you install a tracker on me, Huang?"

When I heard Outcast's voice, the volume over there was obviously much lower, but it still sounded quite loud.

"I called you more than a dozen times in one night!"

"I'm traveling in the wasteland, so the signal is naturally not good, but your voice is much clearer now, right?"

After a while, Huang's voice sounded again.

"Well, okay, let's just make it clear first. It's not that I'm anxious, it's Misery who's pushing me. You know his character, he's always worried about this and that."

"If you ask me, it's fine if he doesn't trust me, but he's so worried about you even when you're on a mission. How come he doesn't have a few more wrinkles?!"

Huang's tone was full of distress. She couldn't understand why Misery liked to nag like an old lady.

"If he wasn't that kind of person, he wouldn't be called Misery. Also, Huang, tell him not to worry about me. After all, I'm not carrying out this mission alone."

"Hmm? Who else? I remember you were the only one listed in the mission briefing."

Just when Huang was puzzled, another person's voice suddenly came from the communicator.

"How many people in the whole of Rhodes Island do you think there are who have nothing to do after eating like me?"

Chapter 420 Another Team

"Ah? Beichen, why are you with Outcast?"

The person on the other end of the communicator naturally immediately realized who was speaking and exclaimed.

"Why, I can't be here?"

Beichen asked with a smile.

"Ah, that's not what I meant. Since you're here, all my worries are unnecessary. But, I still want to ask, seriously, what do you two think of this city?"

Beichen and Outcast once again looked at Xiaoqiujun who was getting closer and closer to them, and answered separately.

"Isn't this just an ordinary mobile city? There are people working in the fields outside, and vehicles transporting supplies are also moving in and out in an orderly manner."

"I agree with Beichen. It's a very ordinary city."

Outcast nodded in agreement, but she knew that what she saw before entering the city could not fully reflect the city's overall picture.

"Could the intelligence be wrong? There are at least thirty or forty cities of this size in Victoria, and Dr. Kal'tsit even brought Beichen over to help."

Huang asked with some confusion. She had arrived at her mission target earlier and was ready to set off to other areas after completing the reconnaissance mission.

However, there was nothing abnormal in the area she was responsible for investigating. Its scale was even much larger than Xiaoqiu County, and its geographical location was much more important. This was also the reason for her confusion.

"No matter how bright the sun of Londinium is, there are always places where it cannot shine."

Outcast continued to explain, "You have also read the information, and you should know the specialness of this city. The jurisdiction of Xiaoqiu County is not currently in the hands of any great nobles. Two earls have expressed interest in this mobile city, but in the end, neither of them took action."

"There's no money to be made. I think this place is really poor."

Beichen said casually, after all, the road into the city was a bit bumpy and had not been maintained or repaired at all.

"The more ordinary a place is, the more likely it is to have undercurrents. No matter when Rhodes Island decides to leave, this is a good opportunity to explore the way forward."

"Okay, if you need me to do anything, please contact me immediately. I'm just about to leave for Connor County, which is still very close to you."

Although I said that I was not worried, I still habitually said, "If you have any trouble, come to me for help."

"Don't worry, Huang. Compared to your work, I'm just here to run errands. I might spend most of my time drinking tea in the office. I hope the local desserts will satisfy me."

Outcast replied with a smile, but this sentence made Huang feel uneasy again.

She knew Outcast's personality very well. When she said something like "very relaxed", it was probably that she was going to do something big.

"Don't lie to me. In the face of a storm, would a Sakota like you be willing to drink tea?"

"Well, I also want to live a good retirement life. An ordinary town like this is pretty good."

There was silence for a long time before the person on the other end of the communicator replied, ".......Why don't I believe it? Forget it, let's finish our work and go home early. Outcast, I remember there are several new operators from Sakota waiting for you to take shooting lessons."

"Don't worry, they also need some self-study time occasionally, and when it comes to shooting techniques, is there anyone more proficient than Beichen?"

"Him? He can hit the target in front of him even when he shoots at the back. Do you expect him to teach other operators this?"

"Hahaha, I'm just kidding. We are about to enter the city. We can talk later if we have time."

Outcast was about to hang up the phone, but before that, she heard the last words left by Huang.

"Although it's unnecessary, Misery forced me to say this. Please be careful, Outcast. I hope there is no danger ahead."

Putting the communicator back into his pocket, Outcast shook his head and muttered to himself.

"Isn't it... dangerous? I'm afraid that kind of place is not suitable for me."

"Haven't you finished talking to Huang yet, Outcast? I looked around a bit and it seemed like there were a lot of soldiers on guard, but other than that there was nothing unusual."

Beichen walked around a few times and when he came back he saw Outcast talking to himself.

"Huang and Misery are too worried about me... Let's not talk about this for now. The issue of the abnormal number of soldiers is indeed worth investigating. However, before that, let's go to the Rhodes Island office in the city to rest."

"it is good."

........................

While Beichen and Outcast were conducting the city entry inspection, another team was carrying out a mission in the suburbs of Xiaoqiu County.

"We have entered the warehouse, reconnaissance team, report the situation."

A Luper holding a huge shield that is almost as tall as himself... No, is that really a shield? Why is there such a thick gun barrel? !

All in all, it is an amazing piece of armor or weapon.

"Captain, there are signs of life in the southeast corner, seven rows of shelves away from you, with a range of one meter."

The team members' reports could be heard over the communicator.

"Number of people?"

"one person."

"Is there any Originium reaction?"

"Not found yet."

After a brief exchange, the man called the captain quickly began to continue issuing operational orders.

"Okay, everyone take your positions...Bagpipes?"

"Roger that!"

The team member who was called stood up straight immediately, as if she was not the one who was distracted just now.

Just looking at her cute face, you would never imagine that she is a graduate of the Royal Victorian Guards Academy and an outstanding serving Victorian soldier.

Of course, you have to ignore the terrifying weapon in her right hand.

A tactical city-breaking spear that can be wielded with one hand is simply unheard of for ordinary people.

Not to mention people, even ordinary vehicles would most likely explode on the spot if hit by such a blow.

It's hard to imagine that a team of just two people can be so... uh, full of firepower.

"What are you looking for?"

Bagpipe scratched his head embarrassedly and asked, "Captain, is someone singing?"

The captain's brows suddenly frowned and he spoke seriously.

"Don't be distracted. This means the target is not on alert. Follow the battle plan and wait for my signal."

"You came to break in, now keep moving forward."

"Three, two, one!"

"The bunker has been destroyed!"

Chapter 421 Ordinary Warehouse

"Ah! Cough, cough, cough, what's going on? There's suddenly so much smoke!"

The shelf was suddenly blown away, and the man who was targeted was so scared that he fell to the ground and started coughing due to the dust.
