NIKKE, after maxing out the favorability, all the Nikkis are not right

Nien took over the conversation: "Like, what, humans must die or something?"

Anis: "Well, it's not that extreme, is it?"

Green nodded, and finally looked at Nien: "Where's Nien?"

Nian pushed his glasses and answered seriously, "Master, you should contact Snow White and the others. They travel the surface all year round and must know many secrets. Maybe there are other bases on the surface besides Paradise."

"Ok."

"I understand."

"It's almost dark. Let's walk a little further and then set up camp to rest."

"Roger that!"

evening.

The counterattack troops camped in the wild.

Because things have been going so smoothly recently, Anis is quite happy. She is now fighting with Nian for a box of leftover chocolate bars and is making a lot of noise. As for Lavi, he is sitting aside quietly writing a combat report.

The atmosphere should have been full of joy, but Green looked troubled, sitting cross-legged on the ground, thinking silently about something.

"commander."

"commander?"

Marianne's gentle voice broke Green's reverie.

He looked up and found that Marianne had sat down beside him and quietly held one of his hands.

"Marian."

"Hey, I'm here."

"Commander, you seem so worried today. What are you thinking about?"

Marianne was still young.

She didn't quite understand the conversation between Green and K just now, but she seemed to have sensed something.

"Marianne, I..."

"Commander, although you didn't say it, I think I guessed what you meant." Marian leaned gently on his shoulder and whispered, "I couldn't sleep one night and heard Anis and Lapi talking."

"They said you paid a huge price to keep me in the Ark."

"I didn't understand what it meant then, but now I kind of understand it a little bit."

"Isn't this what you meant by 'the responsibility of an adult'?"

"Marianne, you've grown up again."

"hey-hey..."

"Just like Anis and Lavvy, the Ark isn't a safe place. I can't watch over you all the time." Green reached out and gently touched the bandage on her head. "There are too many bad people there, too many who want to take advantage of you. If one day, I fail to keep an eye on you, I might regret it for the rest of my life."

"So, Marianne, I want to get you to a safe place."

"But I don't want to be separated from the Commander."

"..."

Green looked at how she was clinging to him, and his heart softened immediately.

But perhaps it was because he had given Marianne the right education during this period. After gently nudging him, she whispered, "But I don't want to embarrass the Commander. You've done so much for me, and I don't want to be so willful anymore."

"I'll wait there obediently for the commander to pick me up."

"Marianne..."

Green gently held her in his arms.

People don’t understand why he could make such hard efforts for a Nikki. Is it really worth it?

But in this cruel end times.

She is the moonlight that remains in his heart.

"Hehe~ Commander, do you think I look like an adult now?"

Marian rubbed Green's arm affectionately again, and proudly puffed out her chest as if to show off.

Green smiled slightly and said, "Well, you're starting to look a bit more grown-up."

"While there's still time, I'll call Snow White and the others over."

"Then, Commander, can we meet again in the future?"

"Of course, I will visit you regularly."

"This is the agreement between you and me, Marianne."

......

About three days later.

In the wilderness near the Ark Elevator.

The figures of Snow White, Red Lotus, and Rapunzel slowly appeared.

After not seeing each other for a long time, the three of them are still the same as before, with no special changes.

"Are you sure you want to entrust Marianne to us?" Snow White looked at Marianne seriously and said, "Is the Ark putting pressure on you again, Green?"

"Well, they are determined to tear her down, but I'm not an iron man and can't watch over her 24 hours a day." Green nodded, admitting that he really had no way to deal with the Ark's endless offensive.

"Master, don't be sad. This is the right decision."

"In my opinion, since Marianne isn't on the Ark, you can do whatever you want there without any worries." Honglian raised a small wine glass and smiled drunkenly, "Feel free to entrust this girl to us."

"Yes."

"And now Marian feels a bit like a little adult."

"She will understand your good intentions."

Rapunzel looked at Marianne, who was hiding behind Green with a reluctant look on her face, and couldn't help but teasing her.

Green smiled and said, "That would be best."

"By the way, I'd like to go with Marianne and meet her guardian. Is that okay?"

"Of course, as long as the journey back and forth is not too long for you, Master."

"It just so happens that I have nothing to do recently, so let me take the young master back when the time comes."

"Thank you, Honglian."

"You're welcome, Master." Honglian smiled leisurely, and a sly look suddenly flashed in the corner of her eyes: "We've been apart for a long time, but Master didn't bring me any good wine. When we drink together tonight, you need to be clear about it~"

"I've given up drinking for the sake of education." Green waved his hand.

"How can the young master be so heartless?"

"If I don't drink today, I will be heartbroken and unable to sleep at night."

"..."

"Then let's have a couple of drinks."

The three men from the counterattack force did not accompany them.

Although they proposed to accompany Green to escort Marian, considering that they had also traveled through mountains and rivers for a long time, Green decided to give them a few days off. He let them sneak back to the outpost in the name of temporary supplies and go on vacation.

Although, in theory, the commander cannot go to the ground alone.

But Green doesn't care about the central government's restrictions.

Now he is so successful that even a deputy commander like Burnim can only secretly disgust him unless it is absolutely necessary. In addition, he holds many trump cards in his hands, and he is like a small warlord in an outpost.

"let's go."

The weather is just right today.

The breeze is gentle and the water is calm.

Green glanced at the clear sky in the distance and signaled that it was time to set off.

"Okay, get ready to go."

"Besides, judging by her current appearance, she seems to be doing quite well." Snow White looked at Marianne, who was still quite energetic, and said, "But I can see that you haven't taught her how to survive on her own on the ground, have you?"

"I haven't taught it." Green thought about it and found that he had indeed missed this link.

"No problem, leave it to us. We will teach her all our skills."

Snow White nodded, but her words made Green alert.

"Wait a minute, Snow White."

"Although I know that all of you are very capable, Nikki."

"But, can you teach me the good things?"

Snow White looked at him in confusion and said, "What are you talking about? We will definitely teach her the survival skills we are most proud of. Believe me, girl. Now follow me."

"Eh?"

"Snow White, what are you going to teach me?"

Marianne walks over to Snow White.

She looked around at Nikki, who was wearing a tattered cape. She then grabbed a bug from a tree, put it in her mouth, and began to chew it. "First lesson for survival on the ground: never let go of anything you can eat."

"Bugs, snails, they're all high-quality protein."

"When you see them, you must put them in your mouth immediately. Do you understand, Marianne?"

Chapter 4000 Snow White: Hungry Red Lotus: Who asked you ()

"Understood!"

"......"

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Snow White gnawed on some protein, looking at Green innocently. She said righteously, "There aren't that many places to get food on the ground, so whether it's tree bark, mice, or even expired canned food, with Nikki's physique, it's not difficult to digest them."

"That's why, girl, you have to remember this."

“Don’t let go of any grain of food that comes to your mouth.”

“Happiness is having enough to eat.”

Snow White explained her "bulimia" with a serious face, which left Marianne stunned.

Green crossed his arms and sighed.

He did want to refute it.

But what Snow White said did make some sense. On the ground, food was rare. Although Nikki theoretically didn't need to eat, for an inexperienced Nikki like Marian, she probably couldn't adapt to that natural feeling of hunger.

Honglian, who was standing by, looked at him sighing and couldn't help laughing.

"Master, why do you look so helpless?"

"Because it's difficult for children to learn well, but bad habits can be easily formed." Green shook his head helplessly and said, "Marianne is stubborn. I spent a long time teaching her not to sprinkle flour."

"Education is indeed a difficult task, but Bai Xue's words are not without reason," Hong Lian advised. "After all, few people in this world can always be accompanied by family and loved ones. Being alone is the norm. Therefore, letting her learn some survival skills in the wild will also be of great benefit to this girl."

"Ah."

"Master, don't worry anymore, let's set off immediately."

"Where are we going?"

"To a place where Letcher has no interest in her, and Marianne will live there until you come to pick her up," Snow White came over and explained.

"How far is the journey?" Green asked.

"At our current walking speed, it'll take about a week." Snow White glanced around, gazing at the ruins of a distant city. "At human speed, it might take even longer. There's a ruined city ahead. Let's stop by and see if there are any relatively intact vehicles. Driving is dangerous, but with Rapunzel's jammer, we don't have to worry about too many Letchers hindering our progress."

"Okay, thank you very much, Snow White."

"You are Welcome."

The journey is leisurely.
