Rhode Island Park Project

“Come help!!”

Self-rescue army base.

The disheveled self-rescue soldiers poured into the base through the gate.

The clamor, wailing, and the pungent smell of gun smoke and blood quickly flowed into the base along with the flow of people.

"Why...it shouldn't be like this...it was all going so smoothly at the beginning..."

"Lolo, cheer up!"

Fester shouted loudly to the distraught girl, who was also covered in dust and scars, but the girl still lowered her head and did not look at him.

"What happened?!"

Clovisia rushed to the scene as soon as possible and quickly asked the leader Fester, while Luo Hang and Amiya followed behind Clovisia.

"commander."

As the captain, Fester looked worriedly at Lolo, who was hanging his head alone, but he still had to take two steps forward and came to Clovisia to report the situation:

"We successfully confirmed that Ms. Heidi was inside the alcohol plant, but on the way back, a contact of Ms. Golding came to meet us."

Fester paused, a trace of reluctance on his face. "The contact was followed, and we were attacked by the Sarkaz."

"You have done a great job. This is not your fault."

Clovisia comforted him, then asked the most important question, "What are the casualties?"

"..."

Fester opened his mouth and smiled bitterly. "Thanks to you, Commander, for having Dixon lead the team to help us. There were many injured this time. Aside from the contact person who fell down at the beginning, only one person didn't return... Old Bill, he stayed behind to cover our retreat."

Klovicia was stunned for a moment, and her expression became a little sad.

"is that so……"

sacrifice.

Luo Hang also came to Clovisia's side, and his eyes swept over the returning self-rescue soldiers, but he indeed did not see the figure of the pretty good old man.

What a pity, it's rare to have a good guy like this.

"There are usually two outcomes for being cut off: capture or death. Since you haven't directly confirmed his final outcome, it's probably a bit premature to draw a conclusion now."

Luo Hang said calmly.

"Yes."

Fester responded, but his expression was still very depressed.

Possibilities are just possibilities after all. If it falls into the hands of the enemy, we can only pray to God to know what the outcome will be.

He couldn't understand.

Everything was going so smoothly at the beginning. They approached the alcohol plant without attracting any attention, and even used drones to directly confirm Ms. Heidi's location.

This should have been a mission that resulted in a great victory... but the unexpected happened more suddenly and unexpectedly than anyone could have imagined.

"..."

expected.

Thinking of this word, Fester couldn't help but look at Luo Hang, who was standing beside Clovisia, and his expression was still as calm as ever.

Did this person... really foresee the unexpected happening? Or was this all just a coincidence...

As if she had thought of the same question as him, Luo Luo, who had been alone and distraught, finally raised her head and looked at Luo Hang, who had his hands behind his back with a calm expression.

He glanced quietly at the embarrassed girl.

The young girl who was so emotional when I last saw her had completely lost that vivid image.

His clothes, face, and hands were all stained with stains. The hideous wounds and torn fabrics stuck together, mixed with the ubiquitous stains, presenting a dirty color of dark red and gray-black. His originally fluffy and clean tail now looked like it had rolled in the mud, with gray and black and knots everywhere.

Chapter 193 Luo Luo: I will never believe you!

Luo Hang's gaze finally returned to Luo Luo's golden eyes.

Those eyes, which were once filled with strong emotions, now looked like a wounded little animal, flowing with unconcealable anxiety and confusion, like a beautiful but fragile object with cracks on it.

After noticing Luo Hang's gaze, the girl's eyes trembled for a moment, and then her lips trembled slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but this time she was unable to speak freely in front of the commander as before.

Luo Hang calmly turned his head and looked at Clovisia.

"Since the reconnaissance team has attracted the enemy's attention, we must act quickly and complete the rescue before they decide to transfer or dispose of the people.

If we're lucky, we might even find captured soldiers there. With a ready-made prison there, they won't bother sending an ordinary prisoner anywhere else."

"Yes."

Clovisia also took a deep breath, her expression becoming serious again. "Fester, immediately organize the members who can still move. We need to rescue our soldiers and friends. As long as there is still a glimmer of hope, we cannot give up."

"Yes!"

Fester immediately showed a firm expression and responded loudly.

Clovisia turned to look at Luo Hang and spoke sincerely:

"Doctor, I'm counting on you for this operation as well. If it weren't for your earlier warning, Fester's team alone would have been in a much worse situation than it is now. The Self-Defense Force and I will always remember your friendship. Thank you very much."

"Uh, thank you very much!"

Fester, who was standing in front of the two of them, also reacted and shouted loudly to Luo Hang, which immediately attracted the attention of many people nearby.

Dixon and some team members who had originally teased Luo Hang's warning had complicated expressions, but this time they were able to save the lives of most people and return here safely. They opened their mouths, but in the end no one could say anything.

"Since we are allies, this is just a small matter that can be done conveniently."

Facing so many different kinds of gazes, Luo Hang just smiled slowly, his performance being a model of businesslikeness.

Clovisia spoke about this matter publicly in front of so many members of the Self-Defense Army, obviously to help him establish prestige in the Self-Defense Army.

Luo Hang didn't really care about this matter, but judging from Clovisia's surprised and sincerely grateful look, the little girl seemed to have a good impression of his help this time.

and,

After the surprise and gratitude, curiosity clearly appeared in Clovisia's eyes. However, because they needed to hurry up and arrange Heidi's rescue operation, some additional topics were not brought up.

The little girl is curious about the old man...

This is a very dangerous signal.

He sighed in his heart.

"you……"

Everyone got busy with their own things. Luo Luo, who was in a mess, came to Luo Hang, who was about to leave. He bit his lip and looked at him, "Can you tell me how old Bill is doing now?"

"I'm afraid only the Sarkaz you encountered would know about this kind of thing, right?"

"But you warned us before—"

"That was just something I said casually. After all, just like you don't trust me, I don't trust your fighting ability that much either."

Luo Hang waved his hand in a frivolous and casual manner, and it was obvious that he was talking nonsense.

Luo Luo suddenly felt angry.

"You, it was my fault before, okay? I'm also very grateful that you saved so many of us. I...I beg you, if Old Bill really gets into trouble because of me, I won't even dare to see my dad if I die."

Fester, who was working and watching the two of them, moved his expression, but in the end he just sighed softly.

Old Bill was saved by Lolo's father at the cost of his own life, and the other party really took care of him and Lolo like family members.

Rhodes Island's support was rejected because of Lolo's reaction. Now that this has happened, Lolo is undoubtedly the one under the greatest pressure.

However, Luo Hang was not shaken by the fact that the girl in front of him looked like she was about to cry. Instead, he just shrugged his shoulders.

"What if I told you that Old Bill would die in front of you in the most miserable way possible?"

"No, it's impossible."

Luo Luo's eyes widened in horror and he took a step back. "No way, that kind of thing... You're lying to me, you're a liar! I will never believe you again!!"

Luo Luo's final cry once again attracted some people's attention, but most people could not say anything except sighing as they looked at the girl running away from Luo Hang.

"Will you never trust me again..."

Luo Hang, standing alone, shook his head and said, "I hope you can carry this out."

……

It didn't take too long before several teams, fully equipped, poured out of the Self-Defense Forces base one after another.

Because they had made preparations in advance, everyone's efficiency was maximized after Heidi's location was confirmed.

"Lolo!"

Fester called out to the girl who was simply wrapped in a few bandages and was walking out with the team again.

The other person turned and looked at him.

For the first time, Fester's heart trembled because of the familiar yet unfamiliar eyes in front of him.

"You should understand that it's absolutely impossible for me to stay in the base and watch you leave."

"I know."

Fester opened his mouth, but the words that came out of his clogged throat were far less than the complicated emotions in his heart.

Of course he knew that no one could and should stop Lolo.

but……

He couldn't help but think of what the doctor had said before.

"Old Bill will die in front of you in the most miserable way."

Rather than a prophecy, it is more like a curse.

If that kind of thing really happened, he couldn't imagine what Luo Luo would become...

"Will not."

As if seeing through his thoughts, Luo Luo, with sorrow in his eyes, shook his head vigorously, repeating to himself or to him,

"That kind of thing won't happen. Old Bill wouldn't do anything that extreme... This is just that liar lying. I absolutely won't believe him!"

“…Yes, that’s right.”

Fester forced a smile. "Old Bill wouldn't do anything that extreme."

If that kind of thing really happened...Lolo would probably collapse.

He could almost imagine the terror and dark despair that seeped into his bones.

and so……

That kind of thing will definitely not happen.

Chapter 3.5: Little Heidi (k)

Abandoned alcohol plant.

Team Fester came to this place again, but this time they were accompanied by other self-rescue army members and the Rhodes Island team.

"There are three entrances, each with over 30 people, and there are also a large number of patrols inside the factory. The total number of people may be over 200... This is really heavily guarded."

Krosier sighed as she controlled the drone and looked at the screen.

"And within the city limits of Londinium, any major commotion means a large number of Sarkaz will arrive soon."

Amiya's little face was also serious.

These are actually not surprising. In comparison, Trumpet, who was also looking at the screen, was more concerned about some familiar uniforms.

"People from Deep Pool? Why are they here too? And they seem to be standing guard for the Sarkaz?"
