Arknights, but the family has fallen again

She held the somewhat timid tail in her arms and combed it carefully.

"After washing your clothes, always use the dryer! Don't expect them to dry in the sun!"

Although she was a young lady from a wealthy family, Shi Huaiya seemed to have accumulated a lot of experience during her time at the Longmen Guards.

Shi Huaiya fanned her nose with her little hands, as if she smelled something.

"Otherwise, the clothes of so many foreigners will get moldy and smelly together! Don't expect your office to get anything done!"

After muttering for a while, Shi Huaiya showed no intention of leaving.

She looked at the thermals outside that distorted the light, then at the dark clouds gradually moving in from the horizon. The sun was still scorching when she visited, and she had forgotten to bring an umbrella.

The rain fell slowly, and in an instant it turned into a downpour.

On the way back to the car, the fur will get wet...

The little tiger silently withdrew his foot.

"...Why are you looking at me?" Her face flushed red as she stammered, "I'm Rhodes Island's training consultant!"

"It's definitely not that I don't want to get wet!"

Even Tallulah, who didn't want to be caught for a physical examination, laughed secretly.

"Since you're a training consultant, why don't you come and take a look at our training."

Shi Huaiya became interested: "Are they the ones we used to deal with the Reunion Movement last time?"

Ott glanced at Tallulah and said, "Same type, same drill."

In the open space behind the office, a series of simple greenhouses separate the heavy rain from the open space.

When Otto, Amiya, Ghost Shark, Talulah and Shi Huaiya arrived, many operators had just finished construction.

Ace and Scout's teams were both part of the construction team. Besides these legitimate operators, there were also numerous "militiamen" from the Lungmen Office. These militiamen were still in their first week of training when they encountered this horrific natural disaster. For their own safety, they hadn't donned their full gear.

Because the rain fell quickly and the construction started from the wall, the central area of this "playground" still shows signs of being washed away by the heavy rain.

Talulah remembered what Otto had just done on the terminal.

This guy... is he being extremely meticulous, or is he just trying to remedy the situation?

"Hey! Doc Otter! Amiya! Kal'tsit!" Ace called out, "Training will continue immediately!"

Scout wiped his face and scolded with a smile: "You obviously messed up the material transportation work. In this situation, you should put in some effort!"

The Sarkaz youth was indeed qualified to say so—he had just jumped down from the roof of the shed.

"After all, I am heavier. If I go up, your work will be more difficult." Ace spoke nonsense seriously in front of his old comrade.

Amiya waved enthusiastically, while Kal'tsit and Ott put their hands in their pockets and nodded.

"This is..." Scout adjusted his hat, subconsciously hiding his Sarkaz features.

Now as an elite operator of Rhodes Island, he doesn't want to cause unnecessary trouble for Rhodes Island.

"Rhodes Island's training consultant." Shi Huaiya's answer was somewhat resentful.

Under Wei Yanwu's magical operation, Beatrix "defeated" Adams and became the actual helmsman of the Shi Huaiya family in Longmen.

But the ensuing consequence was that the Shi Huaiya family fell out. And to avoid suspicion (from Shi Huaiya's point of view), Miss Beatrice, the senior superintendent of the Special Inspection Team, was kicked out of the "general affairs" and all the power and responsibilities were placed in the name of other senior superintendents.

Now, it’s a “sad thing” to say, Miss Sugar Beatrix now only has a job as a training consultant for Rhodes Island!

Now she was only thinking about when Wei Yanwu would let go and officially hand over the position to Pujielong.

"Welcome to the training!" Scout and Ace made exaggerated gestures and invited, "Winter Soldiers, Second Class, at your command."

Following the speeches of the two instructors, the hundreds of thinly-clad soldiers "quickly" formed a line.

Unlike the first-term recruits from Chernobog, who had almost no choice, Ott had some basic quality requirements for these second-term recruits. Those who were finally selected to join the team were of good height and basic quality.

In fact, with such a rich and cheap source of manpower in the Lower City, the second-phase soldiers can far surpass the first-phase soldiers in Qiecheng in number with much higher quality.

However, Rhodes Island was only a "security service provider" in the Lower City and had yet to establish widespread support. Naturally, they couldn't just forcibly throw every adult male into the city like they did to the helpless refugees from Che City.

The noisy footsteps gradually merged into a rhythmic and rhythmic pace. Soon, the soldiers who were still in Brownian motion formed a square formation with wrenches and hammers in their pockets.

"A bit slow. Although they're just militia, they're supposed to shoulder the responsibilities of the Imperial Guard, right?" Shi Huaiya shook her head and praised, "But after all, they've only been training for a few days! Rhodes Island is doing a good job!"

She thought of the Winter Soldiers she had fought alongside not long ago and asked, "By the way, when did your previous militia start training?"

Ott glanced at Amiya.

The little rabbit was slightly stunned, then said: "Two days earlier than them."

Shi Huaiya said in disbelief: "You must be kidding!?"

Tallulah couldn't help but explain, "With Dr. Otto's Originium skills, they don't need much training to demonstrate good combat capabilities."

"That militia remained in the refugee camp in Che City, continuing their training while maintaining order."

Shi Huaiya did not continue to ask, she turned to look at the second-term soldiers.

"This way, the poor... the lower city will soon have its own law and order maintenance force." She felt somewhat relieved, then said excitedly, "This way, Pu... Huijie will also be able to realize her long-cherished wish!"

Chapter 227 Control Freak

This is different from the first batch of soldiers who quickly completed the air gun training, relied on Otto's micro-control after being thrown into the battlefield, and had to start from the beginning after leaving the battlefield.

Since they were in another mobile city and couldn't expand without restraint or endlessly, the second-phase soldiers had to take their time from the beginning. They needed to be familiar with all the skills required of the "Winter Soldier" and be able to easily copy another self.

Watching the battle formation slowly change, Shi Huaiya seemed to see the militia that had resisted the attack of Mephistopheles' "herd" not long ago.

If all this were true, then that resilient militia was only three or five days ahead of these crooked recruits, and the gap wouldn't be significant at all. And to be able to use such soldiers to such effect...

Dr. Ott's Originium skills are probably what generals dream of.

and many more?

General!?

Shi Huaiya quickly realized: "But, you guys are going this way to train the army, right?"

Ott responded bluntly: "We have no experience in training police officers."

"Disasters themselves kill countless people. But after natural or man-made disasters, what kills the most is not their aftermath, but the breakdown of order."

He twisted the facts and misused his credibility.

"Faced with this situation, the best way we can provide assistance is to restore order. And the fastest way to restore order is to dump a considerable number of refugees into military camps."

This may be true in certain circumstances, but in Ott's mouth, it has become a general solution.

Shi Huaiya understood: "With such convenient Originium skills at hand, there's really no faster way than cramming people into the barracks."

How come there isn't a faster way?

Wouldn't it be enough to help their necks free their own heads?

Although she didn't know what Otto was thinking, Amiya still felt helpless when she saw his indifferent expression: since waking up, Otto's genius brain seemed to be missing a thread in terms of interpersonal communication.

When facing the girls, his deflection and pretentiousness were indeed quite "conspicuous" in Amiya's perception. But even in other types of communication, Otto often exposed the "arrogance" and "conceit" that he had been able to conceal before his amnesia.

Dr. Kelsey was right... Due to the loss of a large amount of memory, Doc Otter's personality and behavior have regressed to that of his youth...

But despite her helplessness, Amiya also became excited:

Active! Restless! Full of hormones!

Youth!

A Doc Otter like this can’t do without me!

The feeling of responsibility filled the little rabbit's still-growing chest. She coughed and said, "Ahem, Doc Otter means that others may have faster methods. But we in Rhodes Island are a pharmaceutical company after all, and we have limitations in many areas."

"When faced with such urgent situations, we often have no choice but to choose the way of working that we are better at."

So... the method you are better at is war?

Although she felt something was a little strange, Shi Huaiya still nodded.

Taking into account the presence of Shi Huaiya, the second-phase soldiers practiced formations mainly with shields, without showing much aggression.

This kind of queue made Shi Huaiya feel familiar - the Guards Bureau treated the infected people in the same way when facing a large-scale riot of unknown origin.

Rather, arrays based primarily on shields often have similar forms, with minor differences often found on the weapon side.

Shi Huaiya, who was bored for special reasons, suddenly became interested.

"Speaking of which, as a training consultant..."

"Missy!" The ghost clan's royal sister's loud voice rang out, "I brought you an umbrella!"

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw Xingxiong waving and greeting them.

Her Imperial Guards uniform was still languidly pinned at her waist, her powerful muscles masked by her naturally fair skin. She carried the heavy triangular shield "Prajna" with her, which "seemed" to be the reason for her hunched back.

A damp but not dripping umbrella was held in her other hand, which she did not wave.

"Xingxiong? What are you doing here?" Shi Huaiya was a little surprised, but still said goodbye to Ott and others: "Wait a moment."

After saying hello, the little tiger approached Xingxiong.

"Old Chen...Hou Liu is calling you over!" Xingxiong said in a low voice.

Is this the tragically thick barrier?

Ott raised an eyebrow.

Since Xingxiong was intentional, Otto naturally couldn't hear it.

But when the Deep Sea Hunter is around, this scumbag always chooses to open two.

"What does Pujielong want me to do?" Shi Huaiya also whispered.

"Miss, Old Chen's life isn't easy either. Although Commander Wei is willing to hand over power, everyone thinks she's... incorruptible." Xingxiong said tactfully, "We old friends, at least in public..."

"Alright, alright! What's the important matter, Queen Chenliu?"

"Commander Wei should be leaving soon."

Shi Huaiya frowned and curled the corners of her mouth - Chen Huijie wanted to re-employ her.

Ott is not surprised.

Before this, Wei Yanwu used rules and regulations to force Shi Huaiya to take action on his own family, and also suppressed the little tiger, just to allow Chen Huijie, the "heir", to use her well.

only……

Leave a successor?

This is a term used in classical Chinese literature. It was originally a title for an acting governor when the governor was absent. However, during the late Tang Dynasty, when a governor refused to obey the court, became unable to serve due to problems, or became too old to do so, his sons or close associates would often take over his duties, known as "Jiedu Liuhou."

There were also cases where soldiers would ask, "Anyone want to be a Jiedushi?" or rebel generals would claim to be the governor. They would often force the court to appoint them as official Jiedushi later.

Now that Old Wei is alive, he has to go to the Fortress of Saint Stein as an unprecedented heavyweight envoy, trying to force the Tsar of Ursus to review domestic affairs, which just fits the first situation.

But the court of Dayan is not so weak now. What did he sell to solidify Chen Huijie's status as the "successor"?

Furthermore, although he had already considered his own mortality when he pushed this process forward, the situation now was completely different from what he had imagined at the time—the possibility of his survival was not low.

If he completed his mission and returned to Longmen... then Chen Huijie and the series of people Chen Huijie recruited would be in an extremely embarrassing situation.

The fun is getting bigger and bigger!

Ott had some guesses.

This aspect of his affairs was the result of a transaction between Wei Yanwu and Jie Zhen and others while he was too busy attending to Longmen. These things would likely never be put on paper, nor would they be mentioned again. The trouble of digging up hard evidence to confirm his speculation would likely far outweigh the benefits.

But Otto's inflated desire for control is like a hundred claws that are nagging at him...

Please use this kind of thing in places that everyone likes, such as SeSe, thank you!

Chapter 228: Greedy Beast

"Ahhh, so boring!" The Sarkaz girl leaned on the railing, holding the power halberd on her shoulder.

She watched the refugees enter the resettlement house in an orderly manner under the coercion of the soldiers, feeling bored. "Anyone can do this kind of work, right? Hedley likes this kind of work, and Inès is good at it. Wouldn't it be better to let them take charge?"
