Although Talulah had learned much, she had spent the last few years facing the Reunion Movent; the rapid technological advancents of the outside world left her sowhat at a loss. Fortunately, a nearby Shadow Guard noticed her embarrassnt and helped her turn on the cara.
Seeing the familiar yet strange woman on the screen calling out "Little Ta" with a look of hesitation, Talulah could hardly hold back her tears. She took the cara and sat silently in a corner to watch the video, while Flandre Scarlet was picked up by Alina by the armpits.
"Little Flan, you've turned quite mischievous after being away! You've actually learned how to toy with people's emotions!" Alina said with a smile.
"Ehehe!" Flandre gave a bashful smile.
"Since you've made a great contribution this ti, I won't punish you. Co, tell us all about what happened during your six months in Lungn!" Alina picked up Flandre and sat down next to Buldrokkas'tee.
"The past six months? Don't you already know most of it, Sister Alina?" Flandre often chatted secretly with Alina, telling her about what happened over there. Alina knew all about things like being a teacher or catching bad guys.
"Tell it in detail, of course. After all, what you said then was so vague; I'm curious about what Lungn is really like."
Alina had sat down here on purpose. She was trying to use this thod to distract Buldrokkas'tee, who was nearby. Since Yelena's accident, Buldrokkas'tee's emotions had been sowhat unstable. In a previous clash with the Ursus army, he had even slaughtered an entire search party. In the past, he would rarely be so decisive. His aura had been particularly terrifying these past few days; it was only just now, after the dicine arrived and the doctors began saving lives, that a bit of vitality returned to his surroundings.
Flandre didn't notice Buldrokkas'tee's condition at all. She stood up proudly and said, "Lungn is very lively, and there are so many people there. Also, there are many, many tall buildings with big TVs on them. Flan saw herself on TV several tis!"
Flandre began telling interesting stories, starting from when she t Ch'en Huijie until she successfully entered Lungn. Of course, she polished her story a bit, making it sound like her first eting with Ch'en Huijie. This coincidence made Buldrokkas'tee glance over frequently.
Alina was very happy when she noticed this, and her gaze toward Flandre beca even gentler. Yelena's surgery inside lasted for a full three hours, and Flandre spent those three hours outside recounting her glorious deeds in Lungn. Later on, even Talulah sat down curiously to listen to her talk about Lungn.
Not far away, the three Shadow Guards looked at Flandre with strange expressions. Was there a problem with her story? Not really. But a child's perspective was completely different from theirs. While what Flandre said wasn't exactly wrong, it sounded a bit awkward to those who knew more. However, judging from the surroundings, Flandre's stories were quite effective. At least everyone's attention was focused here, temporarily forgetting their sadness and anger.
Just as Flandre was finishing her story, the Rhodes Island doctor walked out with a look of relief.
"The dical agents you brought back were very effective. The surgery was successful. We will arrange for people to take turns looking after her. Her body should mostly recover in about six months at most."
Flandre looked at them; their hands were very pale and their fingers were sowhat blackened. It was clear they had suffered frostbite while performing surgery on Frostnova. After all, Yelena couldn't control her body temperature even when she was awake, let alone while unconscious.
Talulah also noticed their condition. "Your hands?"
Hearing Talulah's words, the group smiled and shook their heads. "There's so frostbite, but it's alright. The frostbite dicine here in Ursus is quite good; we'll be fine after a week or two of rest. We can take this ti to rest and give so lessons to the students."
Compared to the minor frostbite on their hands, Yelena's injuries were what truly worried them. Now that Yelena had been successfully saved, the frostbite on their hands was not a big deal in their eyes. In any case, Ursus might not have much else, but its research on frostbite was unparalleled in all of Terra. Just now, soone had already applied a special ointnt and wrapped their hands up like Zongzi.
"It seems we've beco the ones being looked after these past few days," the doctor was even in the mood to joke with those nearby.
"Doctor Anto, you have done much for the Reunion Movent. We are all very happy to have the chance to help you. Moreover, we have seen and will rember how much you sacrificed to save Yelena," Talulah said, looking at the other person seriously.
Hearing Talulah's words, Flandre looked up at the leader of the group.
'Anto? I think I've seen this na in another mory! But there's only a na, no face... could it be this person?'
Flandre looked at the person; in her mory, her impression of this Doctor Anto was basically just a na. She rembered that she had died in a town north of Leithanien, though she had forgotten the specific na of the town. But the other mory felt great regret over Doctor Anto's death.
Flandre looked at her. "Miss Doctor, I think you should exercise... You look as thin as soone who hasn't eaten for days... How about I give you this candy?"
Flandre had quite a few candies in her pocket. These candies were stuffed into her pocket by Madam Fumizuki when she set out. Thinking it was better to fill her pockets than leave them empty, and that she could share so with everyone here, Flandre hadn't refused. Now, she took one out of her pocket and handed it to Anto, whose hands were tightly wrapped.
The next second, the Rhodes Island group burst into laughter.
"Hahaha, Anto, you're being looked down upon by a little girl, hahahaha... But I think she has a point. You really should exercise that physique of yours, hahahahaha!"
Soone behind, whose hands were also wrapped like Zongzi, rested their hands on Anto's shoulders.
Anto rolled her eyes helplessly. "You know how busy I am every day. The rest of my ti is spent reading and studying; where would I find ti to exercise?"
"But I think you really should take so ti to exercise. Look, even a child says you're too thin and weak!" Soone nearby egged her on.
Doctor Anto could be said to be a well-known do-gooder in the Rhodes Island dical Departnt; many people had benefited from her kindness, but this person had one weakness. And that was laziness. It wasn't that she was truly unwilling to move, but that she spent a vast amount of ti on work and study, with basically no extra sports or activities, which was why she looked so thin and weak.
"But isn't it perfect right now? You can't work or study... I suggest everyone follow the Captain for training these next few days!" Talulah also wanted to show her gratitude but didn't know how, so she offered her suggestion after hearing their conversation.
"That's right, Anto, you can't do anything now anyway. Let's go train together and treat it as strengthening our bodies. After all, a doctor needs to have a healthy body, right?"
Hearing Talulah's words, the other Rhodes Island doctors were also a bit tempted. Rhodes Island didn't have systematic training courses yet like it would later. dical operators were basically defenseless and needed combat operators to accompany them. But if dical operators had basic self-protection and survival skills, it would undoubtedly reduce the pressure on the guards and greatly increase their own chances of survival.
Just like this evacuation—why was Frostnova forced to clash head-on with the regular Ursus army? One major reason was that Rhodes Island had too many things. Even with others helping, the doctors didn't feel comfortable letting others carry so valuable items, and they walked very slowly while carrying them themselves, which delayed the journey. Ultimately, they were caught by the Ursus army.
Anto also rembered that embarrassing and heartbreaking scene during the previous evacuation and finally agreed. "Alright, since we're idle anyway..."
Buldrokkas'tee, who was nearby, stated that since they had agreed, they should report to the camp in the afternoon. To thank them for saving Yelena, Buldrokkas'tee said he would use the most rigorous and scientific standards to train them.
Upon hearing this, the Rhodes Island doctors were stunned.
"Is Lord Patriot sure this is repaying a favor?"
Anto wanted to kick her past self from a minute ago for agreeing to sothing so recklessly. Now it was great; Patriot said he would train them personally. She would rather not have this kind of "blessing." But what's done is done, and words spoken are even harder to take back. Since Patriot was already preparing the training plan, they wouldn't have a single chance to escape.
"Sigh, think about it. Being personally trained by the famous Last Wendigo is sothing we can brag about when we get back."
Since things had co to this, they could only walk toward the Rhodes Island camp area, waving their hands wrapped in sowhat comical white cloth bandages.
After the Rhodes Island people left, Talulah reached out, picked up Flandre, and gave her several hard kisses.
"Little Flan helped us out in a big way again!"
"..." Flandre blinked her eyes in confusion.
"Alright, leave Little Flan to . Those guests are surely waiting for you." Alina looked at the Shadow Guards who had been standing there quietly like shadows and spoke softly.
Talulah looked over. "Alright, I do have many things to discuss with them."
After Talulah walked over, Alina took Flandre's hand. "Many students asked where you went and if you'd co back after you left last ti. Let's go tidy up your living quarters first, and then go to the classroom to et everyone this afternoon, how about that?"
Flandre followed Alina down the road obediently. "Of course, I'll do whatever Sister Alina says."
