Arknights, Suika's Messenger Journey

But if you have any confusion, perhaps as someone who has been through it, I can give you some answers.”

Suixiang sighed, and then recounted everything from yesterday until she met the boy just now and what she said to him.

……

After hearing what Suika said, Outcast also fell silent.

Just like Suika said, the probability is too high.

“You don’t have to feel any psychological pressure.

In fact, you can be said to have saved the boy and his mother's life.

Victoria's army had long noticed that something was amiss with the Tara people of Hill County.

One of the main reasons I came here is that Rhodes Island is unsure when the conflict between the two sides will occur, so they asked me to come and make a judgment.

It seems to me that it will most likely happen in these two days.

So if his father really participated in the rebellion, their environment would be even worse once Victoria cleaned up the place.

But if the people involved died early, then their family wouldn't be considered a rebel, and at least they would still have a chance of survival."

After outcast finished speaking, Suika felt a little relieved from the psychological pressure.

Although she was well aware of how unreliable what Outcast said was, what she needed now was an excuse, an excuse that would allow her to put the matter aside for the time being.

Chapter 568: Suixiang Debate

After a long while, Suika recovered and thanked outcast.

"Need not.

Actually, I'm very happy that you came to see me.

The world is not black and white. Some people may be kind to outsiders but like demons to their families, while some people may be cruel to outsiders but love their families very much.

We can only deal with it from our most simple moral standpoint.

Many operators will hide this kind of thing in their hearts after encountering it, but this kind of thing is like a bomb. If it cannot be successfully eliminated, it will sooner or later become a bomb in the heart.

I'm not a professional either, so I suggest you go find Koukoukou, Lena, or Kal'tsit when you return to Rhodes Island; they're better at psychotherapy."

Outcast still had a smile on his face as he spoke slowly and calmly to Suixiang.

After she finished speaking, she looked at the TV beside her.

"Would you like to watch some TV and relax?

I remember there was a channel that played a variety of music every day, which should put you in a better mood. "

Suika nodded, walked to the front of the TV and sat down, then turned on the TV and squatted on the stool to watch.

Seeing that Suika's attention was completely focused on the outcast on TV, he felt relieved and sat back in his seat to organize the information.

At noon, Oliver, who came back first, greeted Suika and Outcast warmly and said

"Let's go have lunch together!"

outcast nodded

"Okay, I've been sitting here all morning, it's time to take a break."

The three of them walked out of the office and onto the street.

They originally planned to find a place nearby to have a quick bite to eat, but they discovered that many shops that were usually open rain or shine had chosen to close today.

The three of them walked all the way to the middle of the street before they found a barbecue restaurant run by an outsider.

On the way back after dinner, Outcast remained silent.

She spoke only after arriving at the office

"It seems that the situation in Hill County is worse than I thought. I suspect that the situation here will deteriorate significantly by tomorrow at the latest.

Inform our people that the medicines that haven't been delivered yet can be stopped, and everyone should retreat to the office. Oliver, please find a vehicle. If possible, we should evacuate here by tomorrow at the latest...

Remember, protect yourself first."

When Oliver heard outcast's words, his expression froze and he quickly moved.

outcast looked at Suika

"Tomorrow, our safety will be in your hands, okay?"

Suika nodded

"Of course, it's an honor."

Soon Shredder and Fred returned to the office.

But until it was getting dark, there was still no sign of Will.

Oliver sees this and prepares to go out with Shredder and Fred to find him, but is stopped by Outcast.

"Leave this to me, you guys continue packing up...

Suika, you are responsible for staying here and protecting them."

Suika didn't say anything, but took off the Shanghai on her head and handed it to Outcast

"Take it with you."

Outcast smiled and took over Shanghai

"In Rhodes Island, only the most well-behaved children can have the company of this doll for a period of time.

The kids are now studying really hard to get this little thing."

Oliver and the others were still a little confused. Suika had always worn this doll on her head. Because of her identity, no one else asked her why she did that. After all, as an elite operator and not very old, it was normal for her to have some quirks.

But outcast, as an old woman who can be seen with the naked eye, why are you going out with such a cute doll?

"Don't underestimate this doll, all of you combined are no match for it!

If there's a chance, let Suika show you guys once it's safe."

Outcast said with a smile, put on his hat and walked out.

After finishing packing, they sat by the TV and watched TV while waiting for Outcast and Will to come back.

"It may be a bit presumptuous, but I'm quite curious, just how strong are you, Suixiang?"

When chatting these two days, they heard some comments about Suika from Outcast. There is no doubt that her strength is highly regarded, so Oliver and others are very curious about Suika's true strength.

After thinking for a while, Suika said

"Generally speaking, I divide combat effectiveness into four levels: against individuals, against groups, against armies, and against cities.

Most of Rhodes Island's official operators have human-level combat capabilities, which means that in a one-on-one situation, most operators can successfully defeat the enemy.

Elite operators basically have group-level combat capabilities - even when facing enemies that far outnumber them and have more equipment than themselves, they are still able to fight.

Among the elite operators, there are some of the best ones, such as Logos and Rosemary. If they are well prepared, they can fight against an army on their own.

As for me, I'm the last type. If I remove the restrictions and disregard the consequences, I can face a mobile fortress or a high-speed battleship head-on—this is called a city-to-city confrontation."

Cuixiang naturally would not say that there is no restriction and the consequences are zero. As long as she is willing, a high-speed battleship is no match for her.

But this was too scary to say out loud, so she deliberately lowered her strength.

Even so, it still shocked the others.

Being able to face a high-speed warship head-on on one's own was something one only heard of in bragging stories.

Suika's serious look didn't seem like she was bragging at all, but when they thought about a person being able to face a high-speed warship head-on, they felt it was too fantastical.

Several people thought that she could probably do what the previous one did and fight against the army with sufficient preparation.

Even so, it is already very scary. You must know that those who can do this have all left a significant mark in the history of Terra.

"What are you talking about?"

The door was opened, and Outcast, Will and Jane came back from outside.

"We were curious about Suika's abilities, so we asked."

"That's right...but they don't believe that I have the ability to attack the city..." Suixiang looked regretful, and looked helpless because no one believed her.

“That’s such a shame.

Oliver, how is our car getting ready?"

Although he knew that Suika could indeed do this, Outcast felt that it was better not to hurt the fragile hearts of other operators.

After she finished speaking, she pulled Jane, who looked depressed, to sit next to the stool, and then brought a cup of lemon tea to her.

"Come, have a cup of lemon tea to warm yourself up first."

Jane took the cup of water silently, and the tears in the corners of her eyes flowed down her cheeks involuntarily.

Chapter 569: Bombardment

Seeing Qin Liu's broken heart, Suixiang looked at Outcast.

Outcast recounted what happened after she went to find Will, and Suika remembered that there seemed to be such a part in the plot.

But my attention was all on outcast, so I ignored this matter.

But now she was not in the mood to feel sad for Qin Liu.

The plot has developed to this point, which means that the finale has been put on the stage.

She looked at Outcast who was giving Qin Liu chemotherapy and then looked at the sky outside.

"It's going to rain!"

Oliver, who was standing by, looked out the window and complained:

"It's normal, Victoria's weather is pretty much like this.

The weather has been particularly bad these past few days, and I thought it would rain a few days ago, but I’m surprised it’s delayed until now.”

"Pa pa pa" Outcast clapped her hands to draw everyone's attention to her and then spoke

“The battle has begun outside, we can’t stay here any longer.

Everyone packed up their equipment and we are ready to evacuate Xiaoqiu County directly.

However, our current evacuation route will pass through a combat zone, so everyone must be cautious once we exit."

After outcast finished speaking, everyone started to pack up their things.

"Boom~"

Just then there was a sound of thunder outside.

It’s going to rain…

Everyone's heart tightened. After all, once it started raining, evacuation would become more difficult.

"Everyone, please bring some medicine with you. The remaining medicine can be distributed to clinics along the way when we evacuate..."

Outcast arranged everyone's work in an orderly manner.

However, everyone tacitly agreed not to give these things to Suixiang, because according to the plan, Suixiang was an armed personnel responsible for protecting everyone's safety.

Even if carrying these weights does not affect their combat effectiveness, if there is a lot of noise during the battle, the potions can easily be destroyed.

At this time, Suixiang looked outside the house, her brows furrowed even more.

She said something was wrong, and Oliver came over to ask what was going on, but she suddenly pushed him inside.

Just as Oliver was surprised by Suika's actions.

Outside, accompanied by raindrops and thunder, bursts of shrill screams came from far away and got closer.

Seeing Suika's action, Outcast, who had just taken two steps towards this side, suddenly changed his expression and shouted loudly

"Everyone lie down, away from windows and doors, and prepare for shelling!"

Hearing outcast's words, everyone in the room was stunned at first, and then their faces changed drastically.

Everyone subconsciously hid under the sturdy objects in the house, only Suixiang stood by the window with a gloomy face.

She couldn't understand why the military gave the order to continue shelling the city when she had already killed the colonel.

This is very unreasonable.
