Arknights, but the family has fallen again

Page 112

Finish eating quickly so you can tell me how to retreat!

Ott raised his head and reached out to grasp the Sarkaz girl's hand that was blocking him and the terminal screen.

"Longmen's situation."

W just pretended and gave up resistance.

She excitedly supported herself with one hand in a slightly awkward posture, and leaned her whole body towards Otto, with her little buns swaying slightly.

"What's going on? Can I take a look?"

"Expected unexpected situation."

Ott said slurred words.

Kelsey reminded, "Doc... Dr. Ott, it's best to swallow the food before speaking."

You still remember to keep your distance on purpose, but an intuitive person like W won't care about your pretended indifference!

Ott asked Kelsey, "I've already cleared the line. Do you want to communicate with the office?"

"Doc, the office's work is under your arrangement..." She suddenly realized halfway through: "I understand."

"No! What the hell are you talking about?!"

"I used the bait I prepared to punish the clown, and I caught a large scale."

Ott changed his words and said, "Dalin."

Chapter 176: Kirin Green

A beautiful blonde with fiery eyebrows and eyes stopped outside the Longmen office. Her originally smooth long hair was slightly swirling along the "deer antlers", but a few rebellious hair strands were filled with electric charges and curled up towards the sky.

Lin Qingyan was not wearing the iconic red robe. Instead, she was wearing a casual dress that revealed her shoulders, which perfectly highlighted her graceful and powerful physique.

"As a medical company, your 'security work' is surprisingly good."

Seeing the late-coming Earth Spirit, Lin Qingyan's words contained a hint of aggression.

The interaction with Chen Huijie in the morning was not so pleasant.

The female dragon seemed upright, but she displayed a clumsy yet effective strategy. She did not answer a single word about the issue of Rhodes Island that Lin Qingyan tried to understand.

On the contrary, Lin Qingyan knew a lot of random things:

For example, the "Shi Huaiya" family that was nearly half destroyed last night, one of its most likely heirs actually works in the Imperial Guard Bureau, and the cosmetics in his hand can be used as a weapon...

Helplessly, he returned to Li Zhen and Tai He. As expected, they handed over the materials that implicated Rhodes Island as the "defendant" to Lin Qingyan.

The experienced Lin Nu could naturally see that Rhodes Island was almost blameless in this matter, but... she also needed this excuse and needed to come to Rhodes Island in person to investigate.

"Sorry for the wait, Miss Lin."

The Earth Spirit wore a weary expression, and remarkably, she still didn't wear the veneer she wore for show. Regardless of how long this trick could deceive the outside world, if Otto continued to act as he pleased, many operators would likely become aware of the Mind Flayer's tactics.

Good man, do you want to confirm the image of "Liberty in disguise of the Mind Flayer" without taking the initiative, admitting it, or refusing it?

What kind of scumbag?

Faced with Lin Qingyan's implicit accusation, Otto completely ignored it.

Di Ling opened his thin lips slightly and said bluntly, "As a security contractor hired by Governor Wei, it is completely reasonable and legal for us to independently produce a certain number of police weapons."

This actually answers the security question, but such a tone will generally arouse hostility from the interlocutor.

But Lin Qingyan nodded approvingly: "That's right."

"Dayan once used a similar decision when dealing with the South."

"Now, the infected people in Longmen have formed a unique identity and established an independent 'tribe'. Its treatment should be similar to that of the local people..." Lin Qingyan stopped talking in time and said, "Your work and Duke Wei's decision are very valuable. Perhaps one day in the future, your deeds will become a significant chapter in history."

Toast.

The slum problem in Longmen is essentially similar to that of chieftains.

However, unlike the chieftains, they were not never "bathed in the kingship". On the contrary, to a certain extent, they were abandoned by the "kingship" due to infection.

This will inevitably lead to extreme emotional distortion, from falling from the human world to hell.

The Earth Spirit shook his head, and Ott said, "It's not reputation that drives Rhodes Island to participate in slum security contracting."

Reputation is something you can't see or touch. Although in the hands of someone skilled in using it, reputation can be another powerful weapon...

The upper echelons of the ruling class were another matter, but the inter-city information dissemination channels on Terra were quite closed, and it might take a long time for Lungmen's reputation to reach the ears of the people in other mobile cities.

Then the greatest value of this thing to Otto will have to be slightly discounted.

"Governor Wei's price is quite high." Di Ling's expression was icy, as if he was expounding on the iron laws of the universe. "Setting aside the conventional price, he has also opened up a lot of additional research resources, enough to save us a lot of trouble."

Lin Qingyan was not in a good mood, nodded, and said, "Lead the way."

This skips right to "invite her in to sit down."

At other times, Lin Qingyan might have asked further questions: what is the regular price, what are the research resources, and what are the detours.

But now, her mind was full of one thing.

"..."

Caprini did not respond to Lin Qingyan immediately. For a brief moment, her pupils vaguely revealed a hideous, demonic rectangle.

To reiterate: Terran senses are much more acute than those of the Otter itself.

This ship's department.

Just as Huang was sweating on the training ground, her name suddenly sounded on the PA system.

"Elite Operator Huang, please proceed to the operations meeting room immediately."

"Repeat, Elite Operator Huang..."

office.

"Miss Lin, come with me."

Di Ling put his hands in his pockets and walked in front of Lin Qingyan.

Although Qilin wasn't in a good mood right now, she was still startled by the militarization of the office. "I'm a little curious, who is the imaginary enemy of these facilities?"

Ott said without hesitation: "Thugs."

"What kind of thugs deserve such preparations?" Lin Qingyan's military talents weren't as pronounced as her abilities in thunder and magic. "I think even the Longmen Guards would have to resort to blockades if they're unwilling to bear the casualties of a forceful attack."

Caprini turned back, and Ott said, "The office is located in a mobile plot and lacks independent basic military material storage and preparation capabilities. If the Guard Bureau wants to besiege this place, they only need to cut off the water and electricity supply."

However, before the impact of the water and power outages on the office expanded to a certain extent, Ott would complete the emergency mobilization work...

Yes, this jerk made this kind of plan.

However, the foundation for future cooperation between Rhodes Island and Lungmen is very solid. Otto designed this plan more as a preview for future offices in other countries.

Lin Qingyan nodded slightly.

In her opinion, the words of "Earth Spirit" more or less implied a sign of weakness and cooperation.

"As for the thugs, I think Miss Lin you should have seen them with your own eyes."

Ott shirked responsibility, saying, "The nature and slogans of the integration movement make it extremely easy for them to gain supporters in places like the slums."

And what Terra lacks the least is violent groups that can use militarization as an excuse to establish offices.

"The poor of Longmen have picked up a lot of street fighting skills in their hard lives. Coupled with the fierce Originium skills of the infected, they pose a serious threat to our medical workers." Ott answered Lin Qingyan's question while pointing to the tents under the "high-rise building" and said, "Since it's still short-lived, many people who lost their homes in the conflict that day are temporarily staying here."

Lin Qingyan said casually, "You guys handled that matter quite well—you even had enough energy to protect the civilians."

She wanted to lure out a certain elite operator with outstanding performance.

"The person who commanded the operations at this stronghold at the time, as I recall from the Imperial Guards' files, seemed to be named... Huang?"

Chapter 177: Someone worked for nothing!

As the former Shaoqing of Dali Temple, she concealed her main purpose very well.

For well-known reasons, although there are various speculations about this case in the player community, due to the lack of official information, Otto does not know what the case Lin Qingyan is pursuing is.

But the game makes it pretty clear that one of the parties involved is Huang.

Office, Ott's office.

Di Ling opened the office door with ease, as if he had returned home.

"Due to practical reasons, we are currently unable to speak with you face to face, Miss Lin. If you need to speak with us, please communicate remotely here."

What caught my eye was the faint blue light of the projector.

A curtain was temporarily unfolded on the side, and the large words "Trying to establish a neural connection with Rhodes Island" scrolled over and over under the projection screen.

Since the curtains were not drawn, the projection effect was a little poor.

"A remote meeting?" Lin Qingyan asked in surprise, "Isn't your land-based ship at the port?"

She came here on the pretext of checking on the situation of Huang and Rhodes Island.

During the last office attack and defense, Huang was the frontline commander, so she should be in the office now...

Before Lin Qingyan could figure out what was going on, Otto touched the heartstrings of the earth spirit.

"The impact of the natural disaster remains uncertain, and our ship, Rhodes Island, is equipped with excellent detection equipment. To obtain further data, we are moving it into the wilderness," Caprini explained. "Although signal relay equipment has a limited lifespan in the wilderness,... given the current situation, we need to maintain close communication with the nearest mobile city."

"To this end, we have placed several signal relay devices at many key nodes."

"In this case, to ensure accurate signal transmission, there will be a certain delay in the remote meeting."

Lin Qingyan nodded, hiding his impatience and anxiety very well.

"Let's get started. This kind of thing is best discussed with your leader."

The Earth Spirit nodded slightly and came to the window. The unknown leader of Rhodes Island said with his back to Lin Qingyan, "Then please wait a moment."

Okay, okay, let's play like this, right?

The curtains fluttered lightly, blocking out the daylight.

Following Di Ling's command on the personal terminal, the image was soon transmitted to the screen through the projector.

At the end of the half-long table, a Liberi and a Filin were sitting there surrounded by a Carters.

"Thank you very much, Miss Di Ling, but you probably have other work to do, right?"

Carters tactfully tried to dissuade him. Caprini, who had brought Lin Qingyan all the way here, was very alert. "Yes, the office has just been officially established, and a large number of refugees have taken refuge here. Add to that the white dragon, and our problem of food and accommodation, while not the most serious, is the most pressing."

"I'll take my leave for now." Caprini suddenly paused at the door and reminded, "Miss Lin, if you need anything, please let me know immediately. I am the person in charge of the general affairs of the Longmen Office."

It seems that they have been waiting for a long time. I am afraid that someone had already notified them when I was talking to Chen Huijie?

Lin Qingyan nodded silently and made a mental note of it.

But she still hasn't realized what "White Dragon" means.

When the door closed, the quality of the projection suddenly improved a lot.

"Everyone in Rhodes Island, given the current special circumstances, I have some questions..."

A big cat suddenly appeared on the other side of the screen.

"Doc Otter! What's the matter with calling me over here?"

Lin Qingyan finally couldn't help herself. The change in her expression could be detected even by Otto's own sensory system.

"This is the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple..."

No, not anymore.

Wait, how did he know that?

Apart from the two imperial censors, the army at most had some suspicions about my identity.
