"On the aircraft, high altitude." Bai Ye had already instructed Hanai 2 to start the aircraft. Now that they had found the target Dr. Kal'tsit was looking for, he set it to return.

"Thank you for saving me."

The Deepsea Hunter wasn't ungrateful—in fact, she would become quite polite when dealing with people she approved of. Goreia bowed to White Night and Kal'tsit to express her gratitude.

"No need to thank me, it was Baiye who saved you. He knows exactly how to handle a dehydrated hunter," Dr. Kal'tsit said, her words carrying a hidden meaning.

Then she calmly said, "With this seriously injured body, you can't last long in a completely unfamiliar environment."

“Enough for me to find all this garbage and chop it up,” Goredia said dismissively.

“Deep down you know whether doing this is meaningful or not… well, you should also know how long this war will last and how long Agor can hold out.”

Dr. Kal'tsit's words made Greta clench her fists.

"Incidentally, these trash cans don't just hide themselves; they've infiltrated the Church in Iberia, and they can also infiltrate Agor. Their influence and cooperation with the Sea Siege have already allowed them to enter the deep sea."

Bai Ye added from the side.

"How do you know so much?" This wasn't the first time Goredia had been shocked.

Ever since she met these two mysterious guys, she hasn't been able to stop feeling surprised.

Despite being a land-dweller, he understood Agor's current situation and crisis better than she did.

"She was just an ordinary doctor, and I... was just an ordinary department head at a pharmaceutical company."

Bai Ye smiled and said, "But we might be carrying a lot on our minds."

As he spoke, he pointed at Kal'tsit: "This guy has the fate of the entire continent in his heart."

"As for me, because of someone, I care a lot about the stranded deep-sea hunters. Incidentally, I also care about the fate of the sea."

Bai Ye's eyes softened.

"It seems you've been dragged into this quite deeply, but given your strength, I won't try to dissuade you." Dr. Kal'tsit shook her head. "This is too reckless. You haven't considered the consequences of your actions."

What Dr. Kal'tsit was referring to was that Byakuya had absorbed the nascent spirit into her own body.

If he doesn't take the lead, then Rhodes Island will have another monster that possesses the powers of both a land behemoth and a sea creature.

Nobody knows what the consequences would be.

Bai Ye smiled and said, "In the very beginning, it was you, Dr. Kal'tsit, who brought all of this together."

……

“It seems I have no other choice but to cooperate with you.” Gretia listened to their conversation and then nodded.

"A wise choice will change the fate of Agor, the fate of you and your companions, the fate of Iberia and even this land, all because of your single thought." Dr. Kal'tsit was too lazy to pay any more attention to Bai Ye.

"Could you two please tell me your names?"

"Kelsey."

"white night."

"Now, where do we go?"

“Go see your…companions.” Bai Ye smiled. “I think they’ll be happy.”

Chapter Eighty-Nine, Hmm?

(I dreamt yesterday that I became a psionicist, and then I was captured by the Black Ships and used as firewood by the Emperor...)

-------------------------------------

"My companion?! You mean... the Deep Sea Hunter?!"

Grétia didn't care about anything and tried to climb out of the water tank, but Bai Ye pressed her down again.

"Yes, that's right, they are Deepsea Hunters... Don't worry, their situation is much better than yours."

Bai Ye shook his head. This guy is already like this, and he still wants to get up. He should just stay soaking in the water.

"Cough cough, I'm fine... Tell me about your companions." Goredia held onto the edge of the water tank to prop herself up.

"Two hunters, one named Skadi, who had been a bounty hunter on land for several years before meeting us; the other's situation was more special... Laurentina, whom I, Kal'tsit, and Skadi rescued in a laboratory of a deep-sea church."

Bai Ye paused for a moment, then continued, "The followers of the Deep Sea Church conducted dark and horrific experiments on her, injecting high concentrations of Originium liquid into her spinal cord."

"Kacha——"

A shrill, ear-piercing sound reached his ears, and Bai Ye stopped telling his story.

He turned his head and saw that the edge of the water tank had been crushed by Goredia's fingers. The thick gun-proof glass was as crumbly as a biscuit in the hands of the deep-sea hunter.

"……Feel sorry."

Goredia loosened her grip and clenched her fist, clearly revealing that her inner state was not as calm as it appeared.

"Besides becoming a special kind of Oripathy infected person, Laurentina's mental state also became abnormal. Under human experimentation and torture, her dominant personality sank into the depths of her mind."

Bai Ye said, then smiled and said, "But there's no need to worry now. With our treatment, her condition has improved, and she's basically able to stay conscious now—it's just that she can't leave me for too long."

Bai Ye did not reveal his special characteristics for the time being.

Now is not the time to reveal his hand. He fears that if he reveals that there is a newborn inside him, the deep-sea hunter in front of him will once again swing his spear at him.

The aircraft will fall apart then.

……

To avoid Goredia pressing the issue further, Bai Ye changed the subject: "Miss Goredia, you've only been on land for three months, how come you're so fluent in the Common Language?"

"Artworks... quickly mastering an unfamiliar language through audio-visual storage discs is a basic skill for a Science Administrator," Goredia replied calmly.

“I understand, I understand—back then we were trained to communicate with hypothetical civilizations in various ways: language, sound, light, and even biological pheromones. That was the most painful course…”

Bai Ye's expression was like that of someone who had eaten raw ginger in stir-fried potato shreds.

"In my opinion, physical communication is indeed the fastest and most efficient."

As he spoke, he clenched his fist. He always felt that, until they encountered aliens, these training courses for starship commanders were the most useless thing ever.

Goredia was somewhat surprised: "So, civilizations on land can have such foresight... I underestimated you."

Clearly, she had retracted her initial disdain.

However, this cannot conceal her contempt for land-based civilizations and her inner pride.

Bai Ye had seen this kind of emotion in Ghost Shark before.

However, these two similar emotions are completely different.

Laurentina was using this emotion to maintain her connection with her homeland, lest she forget what it looked like. The man before her, however, seemed genuinely sincere. Perhaps, in her eyes, land-based civilization was indeed barbaric.

However, this feeling has become increasingly complex because he now has to rely on the help and treatment of land dwellers.

I find it very interesting.

Bai Ye pondered for a moment, then began to hum a song.

It has to be said that Laurentina's teaching of the song before Bai Ye left was in vain, because Bai Ye and Goredia got into a fight as soon as they met.

However, Bai Ye still hummed it out at this moment.

He was humming, but he was actually singing in the style of a deep-sea hunter. However, since he hadn't fully mastered the hunter's singing style, his singing was fragmented.

Ordinary people cannot hear this kind of singing because it exceeds the frequency range that the human ear can perceive. This form of communication is even more effective underwater.

Sure enough, Goredia immediately heard White Night's singing.

"you……"

"Lauren Tina and Skadi taught me this," Bai Ye smiled.

"It seems they have a good relationship with you." Goredia's face relaxed slightly.

"Of course."

Bai Ye smiled.

His relationship with the two deep-sea hunters was more than just good.

Unfortunately, this guy still doesn't quite understand Gretia's status and position among the Deepsea Hunters, otherwise he probably wouldn't be so relaxed right now.

-------------------------------------

In fact, according to Gladys's original plan, she did not intend to leave Iberia and go to that strange "Rhodes Island".

She wanted to find the Deep Sea Church, uncover their secrets, and figure out what these people were planning to do.

However, during the battle with Bai Ye, she suffered both old and new injuries, and even the powerful body of a Deep Sea Hunter, which had been modified by the Sea King Fusion Surgery, could not withstand it.

Therefore, Gladys had no choice but to go to Rhodes Island with White Night and Kal'tsit for treatment.

Incidentally, she could also check on the two surviving hunters.

However, she regretted it after entering Rhodes Island.

It's not because the conditions here are too bad—of course, that's part of the reason.

She suffered some setbacks.

Bai Ye's aircraft landed on the flight deck. After entering Rhodes Island's signal reception range, Bai Ye contacted the two Deep Sea Hunters.

So when White Night arrived at Rhodes Island, Skadi and Specter were already waiting on the deck.

Then Laurentina watched as the two deep-sea hunters rushed straight towards Bai Ye after seeing him!

Yes, and she even gave him a hug! Clearly, their relationship can no longer be described with the simple word "good".

They completely ignored me standing behind them!

The most outrageous thing is that one of the hunters was his former subordinate!

Goredia: ?

"Cough cough cough!" Whether it was because she was feeling unwell or something else, Goredia started coughing.

It was only then that the two noticed the person standing in front of the aircraft's hatch.

"You are...Gloria?!"

"team leader!!"

Chapter 90 The atmosphere is strange

(Arknights main story chapter 12 is coming soon, so I'm going to make a jinx: the invincible Sarkaz airship will most likely be boarded and crashed by Rhodes Island, probably by teleporting directly up there, or some other method—don't hate me if I'm right.)

-------------------------------------

Goredia's expression was rather unpleasant; she wore a sullen face, but perhaps because this was her usual expression, no one noticed any change in her emotions.

Although the reunion of the deep-sea hunters in her imagination would not be too emotionally intense, the reunion of old comrades separated for many years would not be exaggerated to the point of tearful sentimentality like a third-rate TV drama on land.

However, she never expected that these two deep-sea hunters would ignore her at the first moment!

Moreover, the relationship between the hunter and this land dweller is far too close... You know, Laurentina, also known as the shark, is one of the most ruthless "executioners" in the second deep-sea hunter team.

Even Goredia herself had never seen such a happy and gentle expression on the girl's face.

……

“Ahem… This is the deep-sea hunter we found in Iberia… Hmm? Wait a minute?” Bai Ye was about to explain the situation to Skadi and Ghost Shark.

But suddenly they heard Ghost Shark call out something to Greta.

"Who did you just call her?" Bai Ye turned to look at Laurentina.

"Second Captain..." Laurentina glanced at Bai Ye with some confusion, then answered matter-of-factly.

"There are four squadrons in the Deep Sea Hunters. I belong to the second squadron, and she is my captain."

Laurentina said with a smile.

"Ah Zhe—" Bai Ye blinked, his expression becoming somewhat strange.

So, it turns out that Ladyia and Laurentina are in a superior-subordinate relationship?

So, in the deep-sea hunter community where people have lost their blood ties with their original families, wouldn't this Graceia become Laurentina's elder?

This is too strange!
