Arknights, but the family has fallen again

Accessories could not be equipped on it again, and for a moment it was unclear what it wanted to do.

Ott's logic for equipping people with accessories at random in reality is based on the fact that they are all "potential heroes who have not yet arrived at the carriage."

However, due to the influence of the Collapse and the Iron Crown of Torment, the Collapse Guardians seem to have become "enemies" in the world rules of "Darkest Dungeon" and are no longer regarded as "heroes".

But... the posture of the collapsed inner guard is somewhat familiar.

Chapter 218: Working Overtime

1097年1月4日凌晨03:18:45，龙门。

The martial law order made it rare for the city that never sleeps to go to bed on time. At this moment, only a few departments responsible for important military and political affairs were brightly lit.

It's a bit cool when it rains, but after the rain it's hot and humid and unpleasant.

"...Many plots were already undergoing winter maintenance. But yesterday's heavy rain came too suddenly, and the drainage systems, both large and small, including on Plot 21, need repairs."

In a meeting room that originally belonged to Governor Longmen, a group of people were "arguing quietly."

Longmen's climate is naturally humid, and devastating storms are commonplace in summer and autumn. After weathering that wave, winter was a good time to repair equipment and reorganize various systems on the mobile site.

However, the impact of the natural disaster "boomerang" caused some areas to become a swamp.

Chen Huijie wearily gave instructions: "Prioritize the transportation of military supplies. Plot 21 is not on the road. Concentrate on repairing the drainage system along the transportation route. At the same time, prepare engineering equipment to manually drain the water."

Manual drainage of engineering machinery is definitely not a perfect idea.

But at least it's an idea.

As the staff member was about to leave for overtime with a sense of guidance, Chen Huijie sighed and turned to another person, "You go with us and find out in detail which routes are blocked by flooding. If it can't be drained in a short time, please let me know how to arrange temporary transportation routes as soon as possible."

Looking at Chen Huijie's performance, Wei Yanwu had a faint smile on his face.

"Commander Wei..." A staff member was overjoyed and couldn't help but want to come forward while holding the documents in his hand.

But he realized something and shrank back.

Why are you still here?

This is probably another question that lingers in the minds of all the staff, even though they feel relieved.

Of course, there might be an even bigger trouble: in front of everyone, in front of the future governor of Longmen, he turned his back to her and expressed his eagerness to the former governor of Longmen.

Chen Huijie and Wei Yanwu might not care about this, but his colleagues...

Hard to say.

"You guys continue."

"Regardless, we need to prioritize preparing for war."

After saying a few words, Wei Yanwu and Chen Huijie left the meeting room.

"What happened?"

"Your department's report..."

"Isn't Governor Wei going to negotiate?"

"Don't ask so many questions!"

"Give me the data..."

There were not many excuses that could make the Governor of Longmen place a "regent" to temporarily manage all affairs. Moreover, given Wei Yanwu's complicated identity, there was probably no turning back after taking this step - at the very least, he really had to go out.

After the footsteps faded away, people in the conference room gradually resumed work, but everyone was somewhat absent-minded.

Chen Huijie followed closely behind the man who looked more like her father than her own father.

The two people's gradually overlapping footsteps woke up the voice-controlled lights in the corridor one by one.

"Plot 21," Wei Yanwu suddenly said, "There are quite a few residents there, and there are also some commercial areas."

"It's just flooding right now, there's no immediate danger. Besides, even if we take a step back, the losses won't be too great."

"That sounds... a bit like my line."

"Responsibility reduces everyone in power to the same shape."

"Not everyone." Wei Yanwu exhaled a puff of smoke and turned around, not knowing whether he was melancholy or relieved. "Boris from Chernobyl is not one of them."

This man is the mayor of Che City. Before the natural disaster and the integration movement came, he and a group of nobles, big and small, were the first to drive away from Facility No. 14.

"I've read the intelligence from Rhodes Island. He's dead, killed by the Wendigo of the Reunion Movement."

In this worldline, the capture of Facility 14 was accomplished solely by the Patriot and his guerrillas.

"Don't say that. How can I negotiate with the dead?"

Boris was just an excuse. From the beginning to the end, the person who could be "talked to" was the leader of the Integration Movement, the "person" who truly controlled Chernobyl.

And "talking" is nonsense.

That was just Wei Yanwu's hot-blooded delusion - but then again, if Chen Huijie hadn't been forced to carry the entire Dragon Gate on her back, she should have been one of the people who tried this delusion.

"So..." Chen Huijie was actually a little hesitant.

She didn't know whether her little idea had worked, whether Lin Yuxia had understood her hint, and even more so whether the Rat King had tried to delay Wei Yanwu.

Wei Yanwu didn't answer directly, but said, "I'm afraid I have to go to Saint Jun Castle."

"No, it's not that I'm preparing, it's that I must go." He shook his head.

"The natural disaster has once again swept through Chernobyl. A city has been hit by the natural disaster twice in a row..."

"Three times." Chen Huijie added, "According to Rhodes Island's natural disaster report, the probability of Facility 14 being affected by Boomerang is also quite high."

"...Being attacked three times in a row was enough of an excuse for the young emperor and Witte to convince the nobles."

But it was not enough to convince the Tsar.

There was something else used to persuade the Tsar and Speaker Witte.

"Why are you so sure?" Chen Huijie asked, "Couldn't this all be their plan?"

After Rhodes Island inexplicably exceeded its target, Wei Yanwu finally dared to reveal the truth: "Tallulah was taken away by Kosciuszko."

He took out a medical record. The cover still had the same triangular white castle on a black background, but there was a name written on the cover of the medical record, "Tallulah Atrias".

So what does it matter?

Chen Huijie hesitated for a moment with trepidation, and finally took the case away.

Wei Yanwu didn't disturb her and continued smoking.

The smoke rings gradually dissipated.

"There's such a spell?" She looked up, unable to conceal her relief. "Great... I knew she wasn't that kind of person!"

"The person who cast this spell is called Kosciuszko," Wei Yanwu said. "It was he who abducted Tallulah, and it was he who planned everything that happened now."

Seeing Chen Huijie's fist gradually tighten, Wei Yanwu said again: "I have hired Rhodes Island to kill him."

But when he contacted the Earth Spirit, Chen Huijie was there.

Chen Huijie twitched his tail and realized, "Rhodes Island didn't wait for you!"

Yeah, why?

Chen Huijie felt somewhat guilty.

But that was unnecessary. The main reason Wei Yanwu was late was to open up connections and place the governor of Longmen as his successor. This was something Ott had actively created.

"Now, the only thing we need to worry about is that the little emperor and Witte will go along with it and act on Kosice's plan."

"but……"

Wei Yanwu touched the broken sword in his arms.

"The troops that should be loyal to Emperor Ursus, but arbitrarily followed the schemes of a Grand Duke... is enough to force him to turn his attention back to the country."

Chapter 219: Amiya attacks!

In the dead of night, the little rabbit was dressed in pajamas, looking adorable—and holding a bunny pillow.

"Amiya, what's wrong?"

Kelsey stood up, and the quilt slipped off her smooth skin. On the left and right sides, Ott wrapped himself in the quilt and walked away in his sleep, while Ghost Shark frowned slightly.

In the pitch-black room, only the breathing light of the PRTS terminal at the bedside was still flickering green. However, Amiya still discovered that she had abused her power and quietly opened the door to Kal'tsit's bedroom.

Amiya was startled when she heard Kal'tsit's sudden call. Her voice was a little agitated at first, but gradually she calmed down: "I! I... I can't sleep!"

Although Amiya has gradually developed the bad habit of filing, filing, filing... under Otto's words and deeds, but in order to push the plan forward under such circumstances, it actually requires some courage.

No, why don’t you learn the good things but learn the bad things?

"what happened?"

Kal'tsit shifted slightly to free herself from the surrounding hugs. She stepped barefoot on the floor and silently came to Amiya's side.

Her fair palm went straight to Amiya's cheek and comforted her, "It's okay, Doc Otter is back."

But this won't work now! Dr. Kelsey!

The little rabbit stood on tiptoe and took a sneak peek at the newly replaced double bed. As there was almost no light in the room, the bed looked dim.

But with the super Terran's vision, he could still see clearly that there were actually two more people there.

who can that be?

Who else could it be!?

Of course it's that...the one...in Hamlet...enviable...shameless...

Anyway!

Dr. Kelsey!

This is totally unacceptable!

No, no, no, no!

In short, it just won’t work!

Only now could Amiya be sure that the rumors she had heard these days were true.

She narrowed her eyes and said slowly, "I've been a little scared lately."

Since taking on the responsibility of Rhodes Island, Amiya has rarely shown such emotions. It's not that she's a power machine made of some special material like Otto, but rather that she often chooses to prioritize handling affairs rather than expressing emotions.

Of course, these fears and confusions have gradually settled and fermented during the three years that Otto has been lying in the home therapy device...

"Yes, me too."

Kal'tsit held Amiya in her arms. If there was light in the room, she could see the maternal worry mixed with her face.

Afraid that something might happen to Otto.

"Is there anything else you haven't told me at the border?"

Kelsey asked.

Yeah!

broken!

There was no contingency plan!

What to do? What to do? What to do?

If I were Doc Otter!

oh! Got it!

Just be like Doc Otter and fool people with the truth!
