Arknights, Suika's Messenger Journey

So there is a high probability that a backup plan has been arranged, such as a certain Ascalon quietly following.

You have to know that this is only the first year since being rescued, and the old lynx has not yet completely trusted Blade Master's "amnesia".

From Suika's point of view, she let Blademaster take a group of operators out for a stroll, most likely to see if they would go looking for someone or do something after leaving her sight.

Once it is confirmed that Blade Master has not lost his memory, there is a high probability that he will be stuffed into a sarcophagus by the old lynx.

Therefore, in Suixiang's opinion, there should be quite a few operators near Xiosta at this time.

After receiving the distress signal, someone will probably come to provide support.

With the combat effectiveness of Rhodes Island's elite team, unless the person calling for help died within a short time after sending the signal, or encountered the regular army of Columbia or Victoria.

Otherwise, it won't be a big problem to rescue them.

But she thought about it and decided that she couldn't really go that late. If anything happened, at least she could help.

Thinking of this, Suixiang couldn't help but speed up.

Moving forward with a goal is much faster than moving aimlessly.

It only took Suika two days to reach the location where the distress signal was sent, which was a week's journey.

As for whether there is a formal channel.

Just kidding, if she had gone through the proper channels, she might still be waiting in line at the border of Minos or Colombia for immigration inspection.

Standing on a high mountain, Suixiang looked at a village below.

From the ruined houses, it can be seen that this place has just experienced a small war.

As for who are the two parties involved in the war?

unimportant.

Because she saw that there was still fighting in the village, which proved that the battle had been going on for at least two days and was not over yet.

She took out the communicator and looked at the location where the distress signal was sent. After confirming that it was below, she took out a specially made communicator.

This communicator is a special device that only Rhodes Island elite operators are equipped with. It is mainly used for elite operators to communicate with each other. From it, you can see whether there are any messages from companions nearby, and it can also locate the mobile phones of other elite operators.

It is mainly used for elite operators to cooperate and communicate with each other on the battlefield.

When I opened it, I saw the mark of an elite operator in the village below, proving that there were our people involved in the battlefield below.

She didn't stay and flew away with Shanghai.

In a classroom of a school in Yuexi Village.

Whitesmith's expression was a little grim.

Although he is an elite operator, he is not particularly good at combat. He is more like a skilled talent like Klothir.

This time, when he was leading his men from Columbia with a batch of medical equipment and preparing to return to Rhodes Island, he happened to run into a mercenary team that was slaughtering the infected.

Faced with this situation, he naturally would not sit idly by.

His original plan was to rescue the people, place them in a safe place, and then leave.

But unexpectedly, this mercenary team was so difficult to deal with and had no regard for ordinary people at all.

When they arrived at the village for supplies, the enemy actually launched an indiscriminate attack on the village using Originium weapons.

Even if he wanted to take his people away from the village to prevent more people from getting hurt, it was too late.

He had no choice but to send out a distress signal as soon as possible, and then led his men to rescue people while resisting the enemy's attack.

After two days of fighting, not only did their side lose three operators, but the others also suffered serious injuries of varying degrees.

But the enemy's firepower showed no sign of stopping for a moment.

It seems that these mercenaries intend to let the entire village, Rhodes Island, and these infected people die here together.

Whitesmith felt extremely guilty about this. If he had not chosen to stay here, at least the people in this village would not have suffered such a vicious attack.

At this time, after repelling a wave of mercenary attacks, a middle-aged man with a broken arm walked over with a pale face.

"You said you've called for backup, but how long will it take for that backup to arrive?

Forget food, we're running low on even basic weapons and ammunition. If we don't have support or supplies, we'll likely be left fighting the enemy with swords tomorrow after today's battle."

Chapter 550: The Abandoned

Whitesmith pursed his dry lips. He was exhausted after two days of fierce fighting.

"Get ready. If there is no support, we will break out tonight."

After hearing his words, the strong man was silent for a while and then nodded.

At this moment, he didn't have the energy to blame Whitesmith for not sending rescue forces in time.

After all, the mercenaries they faced were too brutal.

He already knew the reason. Among the infected people he rescued, there was the child of a high-ranking Colombian official. He was infected with the mineral disease when he was being hunted by the mercenaries.

Then he had hoped to escape by hiding among the crowd of infected people.

But he didn't expect that the other party would notice his whereabouts, catch up with him and start killing him without saying a word.

If Whitesmith's team hadn't happened to pass by, he might have been killed on the spot.

It's just that the other party's cruelty exceeded all of their imaginations.

Not only did the enemy openly resort to violence in broad daylight, but they also used Originium shells to directly attack the interior of the village.

It was obvious that the mercenaries had gone completely crazy in order to kill the children of this high-ranking official.

However, the opponent did not expect that Rhodes Island's operators were so resilient.

In addition, the village's own garrison was forced to join forces with Rhodes Island to resist their attack, which actually slowed down their progress.

Even though the defending Rhodes Island and the locals are now hiding in this school, this mercenary army cannot get in.

"Tsk tsk, what are you doing here when you're not in the engineering department hammering away at your big iron lumps?"

Just when Whitesmith was about to take a break before the other party attacked, a voice came from the side.

He suddenly opened his eyes and looked in the direction of the voice, and saw Suixiang sitting at the window, looking at him with a smile on her face.

The operator who had been responsible for protecting him subconsciously raised his sword and pointed it at Suixiang, and Whitesmith quickly put his weapon down.

"Why are you here? Is there anyone else?" Whitesmith asked.

"I'm the only one... That's not right. It's been two days. Has no support arrived?"

After Suika finished speaking, she also felt something was wrong.

In her opinion, it was two days since the distress message was sent out. It was impossible that there were no Rhodes Island operators nearby, and it was even more impossible that no one else received the message except her.

It's strange that there was no support for such a long time.

Whitesmith shook his head.

"You're the first one to come to support... I thought the signal was blocked."

Suika jumped down from the window and walked over to him, handing Ibuki Hyo to Whitesmith.

"Come on, let's have a sip... Don't worry, the wine is only less than 10% alcohol."

Whitesmith took Ibuki's cup, tilted his head back, took a big sip, and then let out a long sigh.

"Tell me, what happened?" Suixiang was also a little curious as to why the other party was being hunted and ended up in such a miserable state.

Whitesmith told Suika what happened.

After hearing this, Suika frowned

"I think you and I are caught up in a struggle among the top leaders in Colombia...

I've almost guessed why no support came."

Suika looked out the window.

This village is not remote. To be precise, Xiosta is to the south of it. So although there are not many people in this village, it is relatively prosperous.

Such a big thing happened in the village in two days, but she did not find any military support along the way.

Therefore, it can only mean one thing, that what happened here was not only suppressed by someone, but also traffic control was implemented here.

So people outside can't get in at all, and naturally don't know what is happening inside.

After all, there are many natural disasters on Terra. As long as the official says that a natural disaster has occurred here, other people will naturally not force themselves to pass through here, but will choose to take a detour.

Rhodes Island's reinforcements were thus blocked outside.

Only Suixiang did not take the usual route, she flew all the way here without encountering any obstacles, so she was able to successfully get here.

It was obvious that the village and everyone in it had been abandoned.

Although it is unknown what important things the children of this Colombian senior official have in their hands that made them so unscrupulous, things have come to this point and there is no room for reconciliation between the two sides.

Either everyone dies here and all clues are buried here.

Either kill the other party and break out, and make what happened here public.

"So, I can deal with the enemies outside at will, right?"

After hearing Whitesmith's words, murderous intent flashed in Suika's eyes.

Regarding this kind of inhumane and unscrupulous behavior, she has only one idea, which is to fight violence with violence and repay blood with blood.

"You must be careful. They have a large number of people, are well-armed, and have many skilled fighters..."

Whitesmith spoke quickly, worried that Suika was being too aggressive.

"More men, better weapons? Can they be compared to the regular army of Ursus?

I'm not even afraid of the regular army of Ursus, so why would I be afraid of these little Karamis?"

Suika patted his shoulder

"Give me half an hour. I promise that in half an hour, there won't be a single mercenary left alive in or outside the village."

After saying that, Suixiang turned around and disappeared into the house under the gaze of Whitesmith and the operator beside him.

"Boss... can she really do it?" asked the operator next to him.

“Trigger, you didn’t participate in the battle at the beginning of the year, so you don’t know.

This Operator Suika's strength is far beyond your imagination."

Whitesmith recalled the glimpse he had caught during the initial evacuation.

The image of Suika, who was a head taller than the high-speed battleship, stopping it with one punch was still deeply imprinted in his mind.

"Go notify everyone and wait for news from Suika, then we'll prepare to evacuate."

Whitesmith sat on a stool nearby, his expression looking particularly relaxed.

On the other hand, after leaving school, Suika began her wandering and killing in the village.

She stood directly on the road without hiding at all. Shanghai was left in the school by her. The other party would patrol around the school and kill any mercenaries who tried to attack the school.

"Dang!" There was a crisp sound, and then Suixiang calmly picked up an arrow that had hit her forehead.

The tip of the arrow was damaged and flattened.

She grinned and looked in the direction the arrow came from.

"I found you!"

The next second, the wild boar, as shown in the picture, ran wildly and crashed straight into the building where the attacker was.

Chapter 551: Counterattack from Suika

"Viper" Ankawen, the leader of the Python Mercenary Group.

Although they are called a mercenary group, they are actually the black gloves of a certain Colombian boss, specializing in doing some shameful work for him.

This time, he was ordered to hunt down the children of another high-ranking official, whose parents were currently being suppressed by their superiors in the officialdom.

However, his children have a very important document in their hands. If the document is handed over, the situation faced by both sides will change.

So the message he received was that no trace of either the documents or the people must be left.

However, he did not expect that the opponent was very clever and he managed to escape from the initial ambush.

He didn't feel strange about failing once. After all, it was normal to make mistakes in this line of work. Besides, the other party was the son of a high-ranking official and had guards who were desperately protecting him.
