reincarnation npc, but tomorrow's ark

Unfortunately, this beautiful light is destined to be unseen by anyone outside of Baiye.

A flash of light, and in the next instant, the frozen world shattered.

Time, which had been paused, began to flow again.

Chapter Sixty-Five: Despair is Your End

(Speed ​​up, speed up, I want to see Girls' Frontline die suddenly)

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

"call--"

Bai Ye slowly exhaled, the silver light fading from his eyes. He took a handkerchief from his inventory and gently wiped the blade, which was not actually stained with blood.

Turning around, Bai Ye discovered that the girl he had been protecting behind him had woken up sometime earlier, and his anesthetic injection seemed to have had no effect.

"Hmm, an abnormal metabolic ability?" Bai Ye looked thoughtfully at the girl who had opened her eyes and was staring at him.

Although he no longer uses his abilities frequently, and many new players have even forgotten or ignored it, this doesn't change the fact that Bai Ye is a professional pharmacist. He has learned a large number of related skills and invested a lot of experience in them early on, resulting in very high levels of various professional skills, making him quite capable even in the medical field. Therefore, he is very confident in the effects of the anesthetics he concocts.

Since his potion wouldn't cause any problems, the problem must lie with this Drak girl who was staring at him with her eyes open.

Although the girl had awakened, the anesthesia hadn't completely worn off, and her injuries made her movements incredibly slow. She struggled to prop herself up, looked behind Bai Ye, and then spoke:

"Be careful...it's dangerous..."

Are you concerned about me?

Bai Ye smiled.

At that moment, the six villains who had been walking towards him did not stop.

"Hey, you're turning your back to us, are you trying to run away?"

Bai Ye had obviously heard the voice coming from behind him, and he shook his head helplessly after hearing it.

"Since he's already dead, can't he just stay quietly?"

"Who are you calling a dead person?!"

Bai Ye ignored it and slowly put the cleaned "wind chime" back into its sheath, then gently pushed it with his hand.

"Click——"

A crisp sound rang out; though the volume was not loud, it was like a thunderclap from a clear sky.

"Who...are you...a...dead...person...?"

Before they could finish speaking, their vision suddenly began to spin.

Although their bodies were still moving forward unconsciously, their heads had already landed on the ground, one of them rolling quite far, all the way to Bai Ye's feet.

He struggled to lift his eyelids and looked up at Bai Ye.

"You...you're so tall..."

These were the last words he uttered.

Moments later, all six men were lifeless, in a similar state to the colonel. Apart from their heads being knocked off other parts of their bodies and the absence of vital signs, they were otherwise unharmed.

"Well, if we behave and stand still, we might live a little longer."

"Fine, anyway... despair is your end, die."

Bai Ye shrugged, kicking the head next to his feet away as he spoke.

He drew his sword as soon as the enemy started taunting him. In the past, he might have played with these guys a little longer, since he needed to collect various types of combat data in order to improve his skill level.

However, that's no longer necessary. With Xi's help, he has become a sword master. Therefore, in that instant, under the state of super-accelerated consciousness, Bai Ye almost simultaneously unleashed six sword strikes.

When consciousness returned and the flow of time resumed, they were already dead. However, Bai Ye's sword was too fast, and their bodies had not yet reacted.

Their continued actions and talking caused a tremor, which caused their heads to fall off on their own.

So Baiye said that if they remained still, they could probably live a little longer.

"Finish."

Even after all the enemies were dead, Bai Ye still didn't know who these six arrogant guys were, but that wasn't important. After all, if they couldn't even withstand a single sword strike from him, they probably couldn't be considered strong.

Oh, it seems that those who are now qualified to withstand Bai Ye's sword are all beings of an absurd degree.

……

At this moment, it had only been a short while since Bai Ye found the girl lying on the ground. After dealing with the immediate trouble, Bai Ye turned around again. The girl noticed that the long sword in Bai Ye's hand had disappeared at some point.

"I suggest you sleep a little longer. It's very uncomfortable to force yourself to stay under the effects of the anesthesia."

"Who... are you?" The girl's voice was a little hoarse, perhaps because her throat was extremely dry.

She looked at Bai Ye, unsure of what his plans were.

"He's just a messenger passing by. He happened to see someone in need of help and came over. Hmm, don't overthink it. I'll take you to a safe place first." With that, Bai Ye reached out and picked up the girl.

"Hmm, it's a little heavy. Also, please don't use any spells; I don't really like this hot feeling."

Bai Ye couldn't help but complain.

The girl stopped casting her spell. Bai Ye seemed to have used some tricks to prevent her from smoothly using her signature spells.

"A passing messenger..." The girl subconsciously stopped struggling, perhaps because Bai Ye's aura made her feel somewhat at ease. For some reason, the girl sensed a familiar aura from Bai Ye.

This sense of familiarity made her let Bai Ye lift her up.

She had initially thought Bai Ye would ask about her identity again. However, he seemed neither to know who she was nor interested in who she was at all.

As he put it, it was as if he had simply saved her on a whim.

Struggling to keep her eyes wide open and silently memorize Bai Ye's appearance, the girl could no longer hold on. She had only managed to stay awake before, and now she had reached her limit. So, she quickly closed her eyes again and fell into a coma.

Bai Ye breathed a sigh of relief. How could he not see that this guy's identity was special? Or to put it another way, how could a red dragon be an ordinary person?

Even if she wanted to, she probably couldn't do it.

I just don't want to bring it up here. Bai Ye is quite averse to trouble. He is better at solving problems through physical principles, but when it comes to reasoning, it can be more complicated.

It's definitely better to leave it to someone else, like Outcast, who would be quite suitable. Kal'tsit, that old woman, is an expert in this field. Perhaps that's the Riddler's advantage...

After some thought, Bai Ye led the unconscious girl back to the landing point they had previously established on the outskirts of Xiaoqiu County.

Chapter Sixty-Six: What did you bring back?!

When Bai Ye brought the unconscious girl back to the landing camp, he found that it had changed.

Several transport aircraft have landed, and a makeshift camp has been set up.

This is a joint rescue team comprised of Rhodes Island and Northern Cross Logistics, operating under the name of the Adventurers' Guild and claiming to be a completely neutral humanitarian rescue team. Because they have no political affiliation and due to the Adventurers' Guild's unique status, they encountered no obstacles upon entering Victoria.

Although it was humanitarian aid, Bai Ye seemed to have a strong sense of martial spirit. For example, that powered armor thing.

Yes, this power armor is supposedly an engineering model, but it's actually just a slightly modified version of the combat model with different parts. It can instantly become combat-ready just by replacing one part.

There's no other way; it's all for self-preservation. After all, these days... this land is still quite chaotic, and I feel completely unsafe going out without doing this.

The people at Northern Cross are mostly responsible for engineering projects and security tasks, while the medical personnel and technical experts are mostly from Rhodes Island.

The two sides had been cooperating for a long time, so there were virtually no obstacles to their collaboration. They were even closer than Bai Ye had imagined.

Originally, Baiye was planning to cooperate with Black Steel and purchase their professional security services. However, after the power armor was successfully developed, it seems that North Cross alone is sufficient.

In particular, the current second-generation power armor has abandoned the superhuman agility-specialized close combat of the Evangelion Unit-01 used by Melantha, and instead has shifted towards a more balanced development direction. It is also equipped with thicker armor and shields, thus making it more versatile.

After all, Unit-01 was almost tailor-made for Melantha's fighting style, and also for showing off.

……

"Boss!"

"Mr. Baiye—"

Upon seeing Bai Ye, both sides stopped to greet each other.

White Night's reputation was naturally very high in Rhodes Island's medical and field departments, and since Northern Cross was his own property, it needed no further explanation. Therefore, these guys were quite enthusiastic.

Why does Bai Ye feel that even though he's no longer in the field operations department, his prestige is actually higher than before?

"Oh my, oh my." Bai Ye waved to them and led the girl into the makeshift ward that had been set up in the camp.

It just so happened that the Rhodes Island operators who had previously evacuated from the Hill County office, along with Jenny and others, were here receiving examinations and treatment for their injuries. Therefore, when they saw Bai Ye return, they all surrounded him.

"Your family members are all safe and have been evacuated to a safe location."

Bai Ye made no mention of the artillery positions outside the city or the colonel he had killed, but instead talked about what these guys cared about most.

Upon hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and a weight was finally lifted from their hearts.

Outcast, however, noticed the girl in Bai Ye's hand:

"You saved this person?"

"Yes, I saw her lying on the road and brought her back... By the way, Miss Anto, could you please examine her for me?"

As Bai Ye spoke, she turned to look at the Rhodes Island medical operator beside her.

“Of course, no problem.” Anto nodded with a smile.

She's a Rhodes Island medical operator who frequently travels, and also a friend of Bai Ye. However, she's rather unlucky; she almost became an "acquaintance"—literally, in a negative sense. Luckily, Bai Ye saved her life, so naturally, she wouldn't refuse Bai Ye's request.

Having someone you know is a good thing, and amidst the laughter and conversation, Bai Ye placed the girl on the hospital bed.

"Wait, this is..."

Upon seeing the girl, Saoirse suddenly turned deathly pale. She stammered, her lips trembling, "..."

"A...leader?!"

"Huh? This person is—!"

Jenny, who was bandaging someone else's wounds by another hospital bed, turned around and looked at the girl lying on the bed after hearing Saoirse's voice, and her expression changed drastically.

"Wait, this is... they say this is an important figure in the thugs, possibly even their leader!"

The atmosphere in the ward suddenly became tense.

Everyone turned to look at Bai Ye.

The Rhodes Island operators were internally screaming, "Boss, what the hell did you bring back?!"

Outcast didn't speak immediately. She carefully examined the girl lying on the bed, then turned to Bai Ye and asked:

"You found her on the street?"

"Yes, she was lying unconscious in the rubble after the bombing, so I picked her up." Bai Ye nodded, "and also took care of a few guys who were blocking the way."

“Then there’s no problem. We don’t discriminate when it comes to saving lives, even if she really is a dangerous person as you say.” Outcast said, looking at everyone. “We still won’t stand by and watch her die. Bai Ye has done a lot; he only saved a refugee from a disaster.”

Clearly, Outcast is on Bai Ye's side, and she supports Bai Ye's decision.

Since Outcast had spoken, no one had any objections. Outcast then added:

“From the time the bombing ended until Bai Ye found her, some time should have passed. I think it would be difficult for a mysterious and ambitious organization to let its true leader lie dying in the street.”

This explanation immediately made Saoirse and Jenny feel much better. They exchanged a glance and both breathed a sigh of relief.

"If that's the case... I feel much better."

The tone of this matter was set by the two people with the highest reputation and authority in the camp at that moment.

After witnessing all of this, medic Anto spoke up once everyone had reached a consensus:

"Inspection complete. We have good news and bad news. Which do you want to hear?"

"Let me tell you the bad news first," Bai Ye blinked.

“Although you brought her back in time, and Bai Ye, your measures on the way were also very effective, it’s too late. She has now become an infected person.” Anto said, pointing to the girl’s side abdomen.

"Here, the wound was cut by the Originium crystal, and the active Originium particles entered the bloodstream through the wound."

"And the good news?" Bai Ye nodded, clearly not expecting this result.

"The good news is that although it was late, the treatment was quite timely for the infected person, and with the use of emergency blocking agents, she only became a mild case and her health is fine."

Anto offered his own judgment.
