Nikke, something’s seriously wrong with this evacuation point! Chapter 154 154: He Is Barnes’ Superior

"How much longer until we arrive?" Snow White was visibly restless. She had stood up and sat back down countless tis already, doing nothing but checking how far they still were from the destination.

"Probably… about ten more minutes." Rapunzel's expression also carried obvious exhaustion. Even the light swirling around her staff had dimd sowhat – a sign that she had overused her power.

"Rapunzel, are you alright?" concern filled Scarlet's eyes.

Not just Scarlet – even Dorothy wore a similar expression.

"Eh? I-I'm fine." Rapunzel clearly noticed that everyone's gaze had gathered on her. Who knew what strange fantasy had popped into her head again – even her breathing beca slightly heavier. "E-everyone's… staring at … ehehe…"

"..."

Including Dorothy, even Snow White revealed an expression that practically said: Ah, that's more like it.

Ever since being influenced by Red Hood, the pure and abstinent saintly girl had beco strangely questionable like this. In fact, whenever she returned to serious mode, the people around her would actually feel unaccustod to it.

But the fact that she had beco serious again also proved just how urgent the situation had been before this.

"I'll confirm one more ti." Seeing that they were about to reach their destination, Dorothy calmly asked, "How are Red Hood and Liliweiss right now?"

"Mm. Liliweiss has no obvious external injuries, but the consumption rate of her body's cells is excessively fast. Faster than at any previous ti."

This was sothing that had never happened before. Even when fighting with all her strength, the speed at which her cells burned out had never been this severe.

And the only one who knew what had happened – Red Hood – had already fallen unconscious from her heavy injuries.

"As for Red Hood, her torso is unhard, but all four limbs suffered devastating damage. However, rather than an attempt to kill her, it feels more like soone wanted to strip away her ability to move. The severity of the damage ans she won't recover to full condition anyti soon."

"And right now, our current theory is that the reason Red Hood was injured was because…" At this point, Rapunzel could no longer continue.

But everyone already understood.

"Did Liliweiss do it?"

At that mont, a male voice ca from the corner.

"What exactly happened back then?"

Everyone's eyes gathered on the man.

And all their gazes carried the exact sa aning–

Why are you still here?

"Don't look at like that. Didn't I just miss my chance to run away?" Andersen was already sweating cold bullets.

After all, he knew far too much.

Honestly, the mont Scarlet entered the room, he should've stabbed his own ears deaf. Now look what happened – he had beco a hostage.

Still, he was already lucky enough. After all, he had a fairly good relationship with Liliweiss. Otherwise, he would've been thrown into solitary confinent already – how could he possibly still be standing here?

But this arrangent was also ant to monitor him on the spot, preventing him from leaking information to the governnt.

What kind of joke is that? As if I'd report this?

But right now, probably only one person still trusted Andersen.

Unfortunately, that person already…

Andersen fell silent and let out a heavy sigh.

As they spoke, the Wings of Victory began landing.

That would've been impossible in the past, but this ti, due to Scarlet's strong insistence, the Wings of Victory did not remain in the sky the whole ti. It also helped conserve energy.

But as the ship descended, everyone's expressions changed.

"Where did it go?!" Snow White's expression changed drastically. She imdiately rushed to the control panel and began fumbling with it frantically. "How is this possible? I can't detect the signal from the Other Shore Base anymore!"

At this mont, the signal belonging to the Other Shore Base – which had already been recorded beforehand – had completely vanished from the map.

And even when looking downward from the Wings of Victory, the place where the base entrance used to be had completely transford into a rocky cliff face.

At that instant, even Scarlet's expression changed.

"How is that possible?!"

"Dorothy!"

"I know." Dorothy looked toward Rapunzel. "Rapunzel, Liliweiss and Red Hood will remain under your watch. Protect them."

"Please leave it to ." Rapunzel also understood what needed to be done next.

"Everyone else, bring your weapons and co down with !" Dorothy issued the order.

"Wait, do I have to co too?" Andersen's sunglasses nearly slid off his face.

"Otherwise?"

"..."

The Wings of Victory landed at the flower field from back then.

Dorothy, Scarlet, Snow White, and Andersen stepped out of the ship.

"Seriously, even with my professional training, there's no way I could take down Rapunzel. Just let stay on the ship!"

"No." Dorothy didn't even turn her head. "If you die, then just consider yourself unlucky."

Andersen could only shake his head helplessly.

This was truly miserable now.

He could only hope the three of them would at least preserve a little of his dignity – and maybe protect him slightly if danger appeared.

Just as Andersen was drowning in anxiety, sounds of multiple people moving ca from the surrounding grass.

Dorothy raised one hand, signaling everyone not to move and to stay alert.

"Who's there?" Scarlet asked in a low voice.

But the voice that answered caused Scarlet to freeze completely.

"Scar, what are you all doing here?"

The ones walking out from the bushes while speaking were… the lee Squad.

"Big Sister!" Scarlet let out a long sigh of relief, the tension on her face instantly disappearing. "You're all alright?!"

"We're fine. Doing very well, in fact." Rose looked at her younger sister, unable to suppress the joy on her face. "Scar… you should be much stronger than your big sister now, right?"

"T-that's impossible…" Scarlet hurriedly replied. "I could never catch up to Big Sister's strength in this lifeti!"

"Silly child. The mont you could say sothing like that, you had already surpassed ."

Rose smiled softly, then turned toward Dorothy.

"We are truly sorry, Lady Dorothy. We forgot that the base underwent concealnt modifications. If you wish to enter now, we have to personally co guide you in."

"And by the way, where are Lady Liliweiss and Lady Red Hood?"

"...I'll go bring them over imdiately." Dorothy let out a sigh.

Now that they had confird the area was safe, they no longer remained on guard.

After spending a bit of ti, Dorothy carried Liliweiss on her back, Scarlet carried Red Hood, and together with Snow White, Rapunzel, and Andersen, they headed toward the Other Shore Base.

"Though this may be a little late to ask, but… who is that?" On the way, Rose quietly asked Dorothy while glancing toward Andersen.

After sensing the gaze, the latter could only force out an awkward smile.

"He's from the Central Governnt. For now, he's basically a hostage."

"And as a side note – he's Barnes' superior."

The mont Rose heard the na "Barnes," her expression instantly turned extrely dangerous, and the way she looked at Anderson beca even more hostile.

Andersen: "…Sobody save ."
