Ark, I got cold a little early

It was the first time that he had no way to deal with such a guy.

Ever since he scared her with an explosion last time, this guy seemed to be addicted to the thrill of seeking after calming down...

Take her to "fly a kite"?

Come on, she was laughing happier than anyone else up there.

Sigh... that last time I took her to face the explosion... it was truly the biggest failure of my life...

……

……

"Ha, I always feel like Yu only makes this kind of expression when he's facing W."

Will was sharpening his dagger.

"By the way, where's Hedley?"

"He went out alone to allocate resources and manage personnel because of the expansion of the team."

Inès answered from the side.

There are only four people sitting around the campfire at the moment: Will, Hongyu, Inès, and W.

Except for the busy Hedley who didn't come here, and Old W who went offline to experience the retired server, the veteran characters of the mercenary group have been gathered together.

"Heh, the team has become quite famous now. Hedley is almost too busy to handle it."

Will said, pinching his chin.

"But I'm a little surprised that so many people agree with Yu's philosophy... I agree with it, but... it's still a bit surprising, don't you think, Inès?"

"..."

"Inès? What are you looking at?"

"nothing."

Inès turned around and silently ate the dry food in her hand and replied.

Will didn't pay too much attention to Inès's strange reaction. Anyway...

You must be looking at Yu, right?

I know it all even with my toes.

Will's guess was indeed correct. Ines was indeed observing Hongyu and W, but her focus was on W.

Her shadow…although it also had some whiteness in it, it was different from Yu’s pure white…

Phew, but is it possible to make Yu show such a distressed expression? It's really rare.

Thinking of this, Inès's expression gradually softened.

His expression is really interesting.

Her gaze gradually shifted from W to Hongyu.

This behavior remains the same.

……

……

……

"Hahaha! Old bastard, now I've learned the lesson!"

W buried the smoke bomb in the path that Hongyu had to pass, and detonated the bomb with quick eyes and hands.

According to the bet between him and Hongyu, he would win as long as he could hurt him with the bomb. Well, W would definitely not be happy to hurt Hongyu, so the bet was changed to W would win as long as the center of the smoke could surround Hongyu.

If W wins, Hongyu will call her the big sister.

On the contrary, if Hongyu wins, W will have to focus on learning to read.

At present, W already knows a lot of fonts, and because of this incident, her way of addressing Hongyu gradually changed from "you guy" to "you old bastard".

Regarding W's change in addressing him, Hongyu could only say, "What can I do? This is what happens when you get to know a naughty kid."

"You think you won?"

Inès asked with interest, standing next to W, who had a look of "I am the best in the world".

"What else? I've planted countless smoke bombs. How could he not be contaminated by them?"

W looked relaxed and then said with a smile:

"I can't wait to see that old bastard calling me Big Sister!"

"Well, you're talking and I'm listening."

A light male voice came from behind W, sounding particularly familiar.

The smile on her face froze instantly, and then her neck moved like a gear as she looked behind her.

Beside him was Ines with a smile on her face, and in front of him was Hongyu with a teasing expression on his face.

"Big sister, remember to study hard at night."

Hongyu said with a smile.

"Why are you here?!"

W looked at Hongyu, who was not even a speck of dust on his body, with horror.

His white shirt didn't even have a speck of dust on it, it was still as white as a new piece of clothing.

"Hey, you probably won't believe me when I tell you this, but... you can try to ambush me more often in the future. There was someone who did this often before, but he didn't end up well."

Hongyu waved his hand, his words implying Tracys, who had enjoyed countless kite-flying day trips in the sky.

"How many more times?"

Inès raised an eyebrow. "Yu, you'd better be sane. This behavior is nothing but a waste of resources."

"Forehead……"

Hongyu's smile froze, and he said stubbornly, "But we don't usually need that thing...Okay, okay, I know I was wrong. I don't need to see to know that you are looking at me with the eyes that you look at a naughty child again..."

-

"Kelsey Kelsey! Look at this!"

Theresa, holding a document in her hand, found Kal'tsit who was working.

"This is... the operator's file?"

"Huhuhuhu, I'm suddenly curious about what everyone looked like when they took their profile photos."

"There's still a lot of work to do, so could you please not be so relaxed?"

"Oh, oh, don't worry about it... Aren't you curious about what Yu was like in the past?"

"Hasn't he changed?"

"..."

Oh no, my finally thought of a way to slack off with Kal'tsit was discovered!?

PS: Please vote, please comment, please comment!!

Damn, my Steam account was stolen, and all my good mood for writing is gone.

I've been complaining all day.

numb.

Tomorrow is Mid-Autumn Festival! I was originally planning to write a short sequel, but you came up with this?! What the hell?! ! !

Ahhhhhhhhhh! ! ! ! ! !

101

Chapter 101 Inès: Lie down!

"The intensity of the battles has really been... gradually increasing..."

Hedley took off his already damaged shoulder armor and sighed.

"Stop complaining. Now that we've decided to head to Theresa's sphere of influence, we must be prepared to gradually approach the front lines of the civil war."

Hongyu on the side had already completed the task of treating the injured members and walked over slowly.

His energy is gradually being exhausted by the rapid progress in the past few days. During these days, everyone in the mercenary group has had more or less rest for a period of time, except Hongyu.

He was in charge of the night watch for almost all hours.

And...search for information about Theresa's sphere of influence.

This was originally the responsibility of Ines, the intelligence officer, but she didn't gain much, so Hongyu volunteered to help.

What? Why can't Hongyu just run around Kazdel and find the exact location of the Tower of Babel, then return to camp and tell everyone else?

The reason is also very simple.

Hongyu has no way to do it now.

Perhaps a few years ago he could have directly found someone at a specific location on the Terra continent, but now he can only teleport to places he has been to, or be teleported randomly.

For him now, teleporting across the entire Kazdel is enough to make him suffer, not to mention trying his luck every day and betting that he can teleport directly to the Tower of Babel.

That's not worth it.

It would be better to search for information about the location of the Tower of Babel and actually find that place, which could allow you to live two more years.

"You look tired, Yu."

Hedley looked at Hongyu, who looked like an immortal, and said, "Let's take turns keeping watch for a few days. It's time for you to rest."

"Don't take my words as your leader to heart just because you think you're the strongest."

"Come on, Hedley."

Hongyu chuckled, then slumped down in the open space next to Hedley.

"I'm not that tired yet."

He casually pinched out a piece of ice and stuffed it into his mouth. The cool feeling made his brain clearer.

"At least not now. Just conserve your energy."

"You're holding on."

"No, I didn't. I just wanted to do this. I'm not so stupid as to not know how to rest. Like I said, at least not right now."

Hongyu waved his hand, and before he could react, a pulling force made him lie down straight.

"I think you need it now."

Inès pulled back the thin string holding Hongyu, her expression gloomy.

She had long seen that this guy was forcing himself to support his already unhealthy body, and now she just wanted him to be more obedient and take a rest.

Although she didn't know why Hongyu did this, she had turned a blind eye and let Hongyu drag his weak body around long enough.

"Hedley, I'll keep an eye on him here to prevent him from running around again."

Inès walked over to Hedley, then sat down next to Hongyu. She poked his cheek with her finger and said, "You'd better not sneak out under my nose."

"Oh, how can that be? You are a vanguard with the noble passive ability of breaking invisibility."

Hongyu said helplessly.

Although as long as he wants to run, it will be useless even if Inès can break the invisibility. He said this simply because he wanted to play a trick on this joke that only he knew.

Oh no, this isn't a meme.

Hongyu thought gloomily, then smiled at Ines, causing her to roll her eyes at him.

This look seemed to be telling him, "No matter how loud your smile is, I won't let you leave until you have rested for two hours."

Hongyu smacked his lips and turned over silently.

It was true that he was tired, but being forced to rest was the first time for Hongyu to experience such a thing.
