What happened to the Delta Force? It turned into Arknights!

"Okay, I'll remember."

Remule placed her hands behind her head and said with light steps, "Although it's a bit late to say this now, welcome to Laterano, my friends."

Volume 1: Chapter 82 Exusiai's Apple Pie

The three of them wandered through the streets of Laterano and soon arrived at their destination.

Remuel took out her key, opened the door, and invited the two inside, saying, "We're here!"

Han Fei and Texas stepped inside, and Remuel said, "Wait a moment, I'm going to make apple pie. I promise you'll love it, it's really delicious!"

"I am looking forward."

Han Fei casually replied and sat on the sofa with Texas, waiting for Remy to finish her work.

He knew nothing about making desserts, so he didn't go over to cause trouble.

After Remy left, Texas spoke softly, "Boss, don't be so reckless next time."

"Reckless?"

Han Fei was taken aback, then realized that Texas was probably referring to the time he saved Exusiai.

That wasn't Han Fei's fault; he hadn't expected the Sarkaz to be so good at causing trouble.

So he scratched his head and said, "It's alright, I'm perfectly fine."

“This time it’s intact, but what about next time?” Texas stared at Han Fei with her beautiful gradient-colored eyes. “Even if you’re going to do something, you should tell me in advance, instead of acting like a brute and acting recklessly on a whim.”

At this point, she sighed and continued, "Although I call you boss, I actually consider us friends and partners. What do you think?"

"This is an emergency..."

Han Fei's voice grew softer and softer under Texas's gaze. Finally, he changed his tune and said, "Okay, I'll tell you next time."

Han Fei knew that Texas was concerned about him. The latter did not know that he had a data-driven body. Even if he was injured, he could be wrapped in a surgical bag, get an injection, and be back to his old self in no time. Wounds were nothing to him.

In Texas, an injury is an injury.

"Ah."

Texas then dropped her serious expression and said softly, "Don't think I talk too much, because sometimes you really do make me feel like you're not an easy person to deal with."

"I understand what you mean."

Han Fei scratched his head. He was used to working alone, and even though he now had a teammate, he still did things his own way.

Looking at Texas's face, Han Fei thought to himself that he really needed to be more careful next time, after all, he still had teammates, and he didn't want to always make them worry.

Texas didn't dwell on the matter further; seeing that Han Fei agreed, she stopped there.

She wasn't a talkative person, so the fact that she said such a long thing was enough to prove how worried she was about Han Fei at the time.

Texas is cold on the outside but warm on the inside. It doesn't matter that she doesn't talk much. Han Fei is very lively, so with him around, there's no need to worry about awkward silences.

They chatted casually like that, and time slipped away quietly.

After a long while, Remuel came out carrying a plate of apple pie, looking very energetic, and said, "I'm done! Come and try it, it's my best dessert!"

Han Fei looked at the energetic Remule, casually picked up a piece, took a bite, and his expression became somewhat subtle.

He has a decent tolerance for sweet flavors, but the apple pie made by Exusiai was a bit too sweet for him.

Why are you making that face? Doesn't it taste good?

Remule frowned, took a piece to taste, and said, "It's pretty good."

"Baby, your apple pie is delicious."

Han Fei, naturally, couldn't let the girl's good intentions go to waste, so he immediately said, "I really like it."

"And what about that expression you made just now?" Remy asked suspiciously.

"Uh, I just didn't expect it to be so sweet," Han Fei said honestly.

In terms of sugar content, it has one advantage over chili peppers: even if it's cloyingly sweet, you can only eat one piece at most, unlike chili peppers, which are so spicy that you really can't eat a single bite more.

Moreover, Exusiai's apple pie wasn't so sweet as to be cloying to Han Fei.

“We Laterans can’t live without sugar!” Remy said matter-of-factly. “Actually, apple pie is alright, but you’ll know what bad it is once you’ve tasted the Pope’s cactus tart.”

Han Fei truthfully replied, "Uh, just hearing the name makes me lose my appetite."

He finished the apple pie in a few bites and then casually grabbed another piece.

But as soon as he got his hands on this piece, he realized something was wrong—wait, how can it still have value?

The apple pie in my hand displayed the Delta Force item interface, which read:

Exusiai's Apple Pie

Below is a line of smaller print: "[This apple pie, made by Remule herself, contains the heartfelt sentiments of a young girl; one bite and you'll feel the sweetness of Laterano.]"

This apple pie is even a two-color purple, worth 46,000 Haff coins.

Without saying a word, Han Fei immediately said to Exusiai, "I'll keep one as a souvenir."

“There’s nothing to commemorate about this,” Remuel said with a light laugh. “No need. If you want some, I can make you some more.”

"It's alright, it's alright, this part is fine."

Han Fei casually put it into his backpack, then looked at the plate of apple pie again.

When he was getting the items, his attention was entirely on Remule, and he didn't look at the plate at all, which almost caused him to miss the high-quality purple.

But now that this possibility exists, he should take a good look at this apple pie.

Unfortunately, none of the remaining apple pies had white highlights, which meant that the remaining apple pies were useless and could not be exchanged for HAF coins.

"If you're going to pretend, at least wrap it in something." Remy was dumbfounded, thinking to herself, who just throws desserts into their backpack? Isn't that ruining them?

"I have a lunchbox in my bag."

Han Fei casually offered an explanation.

Actually, he didn't have such a thing in his bag. The reason he was fine after just throwing it in was purely because of his extradimensional backpack.

I figured the explosives and shells in the bag wouldn't get blown up!

"Oh, I see."

This explanation made sense, and Remuel suddenly realized.

Just then, the door was opened, and Remian, Fiameta, and Mostima, who had just left, walked in.

"Big sisters, you're back!"

Remy greeted her energetically, asking, "Is everything settled?"

"Everything is taken care of."

Remien picked up Remi Le who had run over, stroked her red hair, and said softly, "However, we'll be leaving for a while tomorrow. Little Le, you have to be good at home and not cause any trouble, okay?"

Remi Le peeked out from Remi An's arms and asked, "Sister, where are you going? On a mission?"

"Yes."

Remien explained softly, "After our report, the Papal Court issued a notice instructing us to form a special task force to clear out the Sarkaz roaming the wilderness."

She paused for a moment, then continued, "This time, the Sarkaz have gone too far; they've even shown up near the academy."

At this moment, Han Fei's voice suddenly broke in, saying, "Can you take us with you?"

Volume 1: Chapter 83 Night

Upon hearing this, the three who had just returned, along with Remy, were all stunned for a moment.

Then, Remy spoke up: "What are you going to do there?"

Remianne gently pressed her sister's shoulder and turned to Han Fei to explain, "This is a mission assigned by the notary office. Even if you come along..."

She paused, carefully choosing her words, "There won't be any extra compensation."

"fine."

Han Fei waved his hand dismissively and said, "I don't need a salary, I just need to collect some loot."

Han Fei had thought it through clearly. If he stayed in Laterano, there were only so many places he could search, mostly low-level containers like manhole covers and trash cans.

Opportunities like those at the Pangnini Gunsmith Workshop are rare and hard to come by.

The owners of other shops weren't as easy to talk to as Pangnini. The latter had a long-standing relationship with Remy Anmostima and others, and it was because of this connection that Han Fei was able to take the opportunity to search through his workshop.

If it were any other shop owner, they probably would have kicked him out immediately.

In Han Fei's view, going out to play in the wild is no different from playing on the open field.

If I had to point out a difference, it would be in the distance.

Han Fei didn't want to go, so he added, "If I may ask, your mission location should be not far from Laterano, right?"

"It's not that far."

Remien nodded subconsciously, then suddenly realized: "You want to come back with us?"

“That’s right, that’s what I think too.” Han Fei nodded slightly.

The evacuation required two gates, but he didn't pull either one. He needs to come back soon.

“We’re going on a mission, not a picnic,” Remi’an said, looking at Han Fei with a hint of helplessness.

Strictly speaking, the extermination of the Sarkaz was not a secret operation. The garrison takes on countless similar missions every year—there's no way around it, the Sarkaz are indeed too poor, and raiding caravans is the most common thing Sarkaz mercenaries do.

That's why bringing an extra person along is actually no big deal.

However, bringing Han Fei, a friend she had only known for a short time, to the battlefield made Remy feel that something was amiss.

Han Fei didn't care about any of that and quickly said, "It's okay, it's settled then."

"If you insist on doing it this way, then fine."

Remy finally sighed, her gaze towards Han Fei like that of someone looking at her younger brother who insisted on going to the market—a mixture of helplessness and indulgence.

Han Fei noticed Remuel's gaze and thought to himself, "What a jerk! What kind of reaction is that? I'm not Remuel."

Thinking of this, Han Fei coughed lightly and said, "Okay, don't worry, Texas and I are both seasoned warriors."

He patted his chest and assured them, "With us here, you'll be even more powerful, and we won't cause you any trouble."

Texas glanced at Han Fei silently, a barely perceptible smirk playing on her lips, but ultimately said nothing.

She had gotten used to her boss's eccentricities. So what if he suddenly decided to wipe out the Sarkaz? Although it was a bit sudden, it seemed more normal compared to his usual eccentric behavior.

After all, this is the kind of man who can be chatting for a while and then suddenly stop to touch a manhole cover.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

"Coming."

Remy called out and ran over to open the door.

A gray-haired, gray-eyed man walked in slowly and said, "You're all here. It seems I'm late."

As he spoke, he noticed Han Fei sitting on the sofa, smiled slightly at him, and said softly, "You're the Han Fei they mentioned, right? Hello, I'm Andon."

"Hello, I am Han Fei."

Han Fei stood up, walked directly towards Andorn, and extended his hand to him.

Andorn was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and shook hands with Han Fei, saying, "It's a pleasure to meet you."

"Me too."

As he spoke, Han Fei scrutinized Andorn's face.

It has to be said that Director An is quite handsome. Even Han Fei, who is used to seeing handsome men and beautiful women, has to admit that Andon's looks are just a little bit inferior to his.

However, that's not the point. The point is that Director An has a very special aura.

His innate compassionate nature easily leaves a good first impression.

"Andorn."

Remi'an interjected, "Han Fei and his companions will also be heading to the wilderness with us tomorrow."

"Ok?"

Andon made a puzzled nasal sound, looking at Han Fei with some confusion, and said, "Why is that?"
