Hearing Shirayuki's words, Miss Chen's face fell.
However, she understood that allowing her to go to Chernobog to find Talulah must be Wei Yenwu / Wei Yanwu's biggest concession. If she didn't agree, she probably wouldn't be able to leave Lungn, and she believed Wei Yenwu / Wei Yanwu would keep his word.
"I've talked with the higher-ups; I'll go with you. Don't look at like that. Reunion Movent killed many of our brothers this ti, and several of my informants also suffered because of it. I have to avenge them."
Hoshiguma spoke only after Shirayuki had finished. Hearing that Hoshiguma was also going, Miss Chen instinctively wanted to refuse. After all, her going was for personal reasons, and bringing Hoshiguma, a top combatant of the Lungn Guard Departnt / Guard Departnt, would be suspected of abusing public office for private gain.
However, Hoshiguma's excuse was very clever, and Miss Chen couldn't find an excuse to refuse for a mont.
Kanna, not far away, looked over with curiosity. In the original plot, Miss Chen didn't go to Chernobog with Rhodes Island, and Hoshiguma didn't accompany her either. But this ti, they not only t early but also had an extra 'oni sister,' so it could be said that it had nothing to do with the plot anymore.
However, considering that three Reunion Movent cadres were killed and one was severely injured in Chernobog, while Rhodes Island was completely unhard, the plot had already deviated significantly, so one more person wasn't strange at all.
Moreover, both Shirayuki and Hoshiguma could be considered high-tier combatants, on the level of Elite Operator at Rhodes Island.
With the two of them joining, they could not only help supervise Miss Chen, who was already difficult to manage, but also supplent so available manpower.
After leaving Lungn, the convoy drove straight towards the abandoned mobile city.
Halfway there, Miss Chen surveyed her surroundings and asked, "Wait, aren't we going to Chernobog?"
"Chernobog is naturally our ultimate destination, but before we go there, we need to make a stop here."
The Doctor took out a map and pointed to an uninhabited area.
"According to intelligence, this is a Reunion Movent transit point, located between Lungn and Chernobog. If we occupy it and allow it to remain in Reunion Movent's hands, then once we attack Chernobog, the cadres here could imdiately mobilize and lead their subordinates to cut off our retreat from behind. If our attack is thwarted or stalemated, we would face a pincer attack."
As a senior inspector of Lungn and soone who had been on the front lines of cri-fighting for many years, Miss Chen naturally understood this principle. However, her mind had been preoccupied with the news of Talulah, so she hadn't fully heard the Doctor's arrangents.
"Kal'tsit said that Rhodes Island would dispatch two squads from Rhodes Island to et us here at the ruins," Amiya added, relaying the ssage she had just received via the communication terminal.
"Who's coming?"
"Saria's squad and Sharp's squad. Additionally, Reserve Squads A1, A4, and A6 will carry supplies and follow behind to provide logistics and rescue for our subsequent battles," Amiya quickly replied.
The Doctor nodded. Although he hadn't personally commanded them, the intelligence provided by Kal'tsit stated that both squads specialized in assault operations. The forr was skilled in defense, and the latter in offense, which perfectly suited their current mission.
"Excellent. Get in touch with the two squads as soon as possible. As long as the plan goes smoothly, we won't need to force our way into the ruins to take them."
After giving instructions to Amiya, the Doctor closed his eyes and began to recall all the encounters and intelligence he had gathered since waking up.
As night approached, the convoy arrived near the ruins and t up with the Rhodes Island reinforcents who were already waiting there.
Upon arrival, besides the Rhodes Island contingent, there were also three uninvited guests.
They were leaning against a vehicle not far away, emblazoned with a large Penguin Logistics logo.
Seeing the Doctor and his group arrive, they were initially wary, but relaxed once they realized they were allies from Rhodes Island.
Kanna and her group also saw them. These three were the Apple Pie person, the Life Winner, and the Bread person from Penguin Logistics.
Seeing other people, the Doctor went to ask Saria and learned that after the Rhodes Island group arrived nearby, they discovered these three were being pursued by Reunion Movent. Following the principle that the enemy of my enemy is my friend, Saria proactively offered assistance and rescued the three of them.
They later learned that they were mbers of Penguin Logistics from Lungn. This ti, they had been tasked with transporting a batch of dicine from another region to deliver to a person nad Marquis Boris here. Unexpectedly, upon arrival, the place had already beco a ruin, and Marquis Boris was nowhere to be found. However, many people claiming to be from Reunion Movent suddenly appeared. When they discovered that the items Penguin Logistics was transporting were very precious dicines, they beca malicious and wanted to seize the batch of dicine.
Texas naturally wouldn't agree. After all, as soone from a gang, she was used to internal conflicts. However, to take her goods, one needed corresponding skills, so the two sides started fighting.
Although the three of them were skilled, they were outnumbered. In the end, they had no choice but to flee in their vehicle, with the Reunion Movent mbers hot on their heels.
As a result, after fighting their way out of the ruins, they t the newly arrived Rhodes Island group in the wilderness.
Initially, seeing a team of fully ard personnel suddenly appear in front of them, they thought they were surrounded. But unexpectedly, these people did not stop them but instead engaged in a battle with the Reunion Movent mbers who were chasing them.
The Penguin Logistics mbers were also bold. Rembering the chaotic chase they had just endured, they stopped running and turned to join Rhodes Island in wiping out the Reunion Movent group, leaving only a few scattered individuals who fled back into the ruined city.
Afterward, the three Penguin Logistics mbers, knowing that Rhodes Island was there to fight Reunion Movent, chose not to leave but to join in. In their own words:
"Is there a party after the fight? As long as there's apple pie, I'll fight this battle with you!"
"How dare they try to steal from Penguin Logistics? We'll break their teeth and cut off their claws! If I don't get revenge for this, I won't be able to sleep soundly when I get back..."
"We have a batch of dicines here, do you want to take them? What... Rhodes Island is a pharmaceutical company... Never mind..."
Saria was initially wary of the three overly familiar individuals, but later realized they were simply socially awkward... However, considering they worked in logistics, and dangerous goods logistics at that, so social awkwardness was normal, so she agreed to let the three follow.
"Hello everyone, I am the Doctor, the temporary commander of this Rhodes Island operation. This is Miss Chen..."
"No need to introduce Miss Chen, we're old acquaintances," the young Sankta lady opposite smiled exaggeratedly at Miss Chen.
