Although Holhaiya didn't seem to have any emotions accumulated and didn't seem to be planning to complain to Sora, and was even enjoying the emotional drama between Eula and Sora, the concern hidden beneath the teasing was enough for Eula to smell the stench of "old lover" without her having to carefully distinguish it.
"Don't be like this, Eula. I'm just missing, not dead. To be honest, it's all because I didn't keep my mouth shut..."
"How could you be missing for a whole year? You pointed your finger at the guardian of justice and cursed him?"
"Ha, very close. It might be when I was fighting in the Abyss... I complained that the monsters in the Abyss were getting more and more disgusting, and that the activity area opened to me as a traveler in Teyvat was too small. If the area I can explore is still restricted like this in a while, I will not help Teyvat optimize its laws, and go to other worlds to continue exploring - and then..."
Kong Yi shrugged. "Maybe he was kicked out of Teyvat by the angry Tianli... Or maybe he was fighting with the Abyss at the time, so it played a dirty trick on him... We still have to wait for the system's time travel error report to come out before we know what happened."
03. Genshin Impact, Arknights, CSGO, start!
The bad news is that since air operations are not that fast, it is difficult for a group of people to move in the space station without exposing their whereabouts. In addition, some roads leading to the main control module are too narrow, so they have to choose to take the less crowded cargo channel, then turn into the shuttle channel, or go to possible safe areas through other transportation channels.
The good news is that the shuttle channel has been shut down because of the pulse just now, so now they don’t have to worry about a mud ship rushing over and killing them all while they are running.
"Kal'tsit should have wanted to save you, but I got there first. Sigh, older women always have this or that kind of inconvenience~"
When Eula heard Holhaiya mention another woman who had a close relationship with Kong, she couldn't help but tilt her head slightly. While taking revenge on Kong, she also did not forget to find out about the potential rival in advance.
She took the initiative to take on the work of scout - in fact, in this area with a lack of cover, she just used her elemental vision to capture possible elemental disturbances in the distance.
If it weren't for taking care of Kong, she and Holhaiya, a knight and a warlock equipped with an exoskeleton, could easily move briskly in the pipe.
"…But it's you who came. I won't say anything unromantic, and it would be too formal to thank me again."
"It's okay to be a little awkward from time to time. I call it keeping things fresh~"
While jogging, Kong rhythmically interspersed his breathing with the conversation to avoid getting a stitch in the side.
How could he not hear that Holhayya was trying to show off? With her age, she could be considered a junior among juniors in Kal'tsit's eyes. But it was this little brat whom she looked down upon who was deeply in love with the Doctor and had already responded to the Doctor's call for help before the "Queen Mother of Rhodes Island".
It was an epic victory, enough for her to brag about in Rhode Island for the rest of her life.
"Hmm, but I'm more curious. When the system called for people, it said 'summon your closest comrades', but why are all the people who came to you girls?"
"…Is it possible that both you and Eula are good at fighting—"
Sora's smile was forced now.
"This is Mondstadt's Wave Knight, Eula. Let me introduce you again. This is the elite operator Holhayya, my comrade during my time working in Rhodes Island."
He had already prepared for the Shura Field, but when the time really came, the IQ of the time traveler and the central air-conditioning ability of the so-called scumbag were of no use. After all, these two were very independent and charming ladies, and they could not be fooled.
"This lady does seem to have good skills, but Rhodes Island has a lot of similar operators..." Holhaiya looked at the team leader Eula seriously again.
"I'm warning you, Snake Girl, I don't want to argue with you. The priority right now is to escort Sora to a safe place. If you want me to remember a few more grudges for you later, I'm always here to help."
After responding sharply, Youla pursed her lips, as if she had lost interest in jealousy. After all, similar scenes had happened around her before.
"...Due to my physical condition, I'm afraid I won't be able to be of much use in the upcoming encounter. I'm sorry, I'll have to rely on you guys."
While trying to comfort his two female companions with a weak attitude, Sora asked the system in his mind what kind of assistance the "CS:GO system" could provide since it failed to call for help.
In fact, compared to being protected by his two old friends, Kong hopes that he can get a gun, or have a good brother to help him. Regardless of whether he can penetrate the enemy's shield, at least this way he can maintain his dignity and "Taoism".
["CS:GO system" combat effectiveness analysis, 30%, it's not that the energy is insufficient... Host, it's just that the system has not found a carrier that meets the conditions for participating in the battle, and cannot send your comrades to you immediately, but it can print some individual weapons for you... after obtaining the daily task rewards. ]
The system's voice was a little apologetic:
[Release daily task: "Taking charge in times of crisis" - the host's team kills 3 virtual soldiers in total, reward: a weapon worth less than 3000, and 10 throwing objects of your choice, currently 1/3 completed. ]
"It's better than nothing... Are my brothers in trouble?"
[They... most of them are old. Although they really want to pick up their guns and come to help you, they can't even afford the starting energy required to cross. ]
At this point, the system's tone dropped by one degree.
"… We are almost at the exit. I remember that I was transported here when I was unable to move. Further ahead should be another less dangerous section of the space station for storing rare items. However, we have to pass through the transfer area first."
Sora ended this regrettable topic by reporting his plans.
The platform-like functional area of the space station can already be seen.
"Stop, there is a purple elemental trace ahead!"
Eula narrowed her eyes and raised the greatsword at an angle. At the end of the shuttle station, she confirmed the spread of lightning elements and quickly patted Kong's shoulders twice, signaling him to switch to "private chat mode".
This is a mental communication channel that can only be joined by people who have established a connection with Kong, which can eliminate the risk of physical vocalization being detected by the enemy.
"No response from infrared, no response from biological radar, no response from conventional radar, no enemy information detected. Are you sure there is something ahead?"
When Holhaiya saw Eula gesture twice, she consciously joined the team's mental connection frequency band. This mental communication framework built by the system was no longer a secret to the core operators of Rhodes Island.
"There must be something guarding behind us. If we rush over rashly, we will be trapped. You have to trust my instincts."
Eula still habitually used tactical gestures to assist in mental communication. After all, when she was commanding the guerrilla squad, she didn't have time for such a convenient "radio".
"Eula is right. There is something ahead, but they probably haven't discovered us yet. The range of their search doesn't seem to be very wide."
Sora frowned. On the bird's-eye view provided by the system, there were several red dots moving back and forth behind the platform:
"But we can't get around it. The main road to the strange object containment compartment is a straight line. No matter which compartment we run through, we will collide head-on with the believers of destruction... They didn't destroy the life support system of the space station and then block this place. Instead, they patrolled and killed the staff one by one... It's disgusting."
As Holhaiya also slowed down, the group began to "pace" in the middle of the pipe subtly and leisurely.
"There are no bodies on the road here, and there are few signs of damage. It seems that the main security forces are concentrated in the main control cabin and the escape pod, attracting a large number of... well, weak soldiers. But this means that if we break through head-on, I'm afraid we can't count on the support of the locals."
Despite saying such discouraging words, Holhaiya seemed to be enjoying it:
"What are you going to do, Doctor? Fight your way out like a hero, cross two compartments and reunite with the locals? Or turn back and wait for rescue?"
"Try to kill them without being besieged by a large number of weak soldiers. This is the only way. The most taboo for a small army in battle is to make a big noise."
Kong didn't hesitate for too long. The great master assassin once said that as long as you kill all the enemies you see, that would be perfect stealth - of course, the premise is that he can control the number of enemies he engages in battle every time.
"Kill the patrol team, then launch a surprise attack on the main guards in this area. As usual, follow my command. Although my body has become weaker, I can still see the enemy's vision direction and search range."
"it is good."
"I'm really looking forward to it. I haven't experienced the pleasure of playing with the enemy in the palm of my hand for a long time~"
The two girls then looked at each other, and saw something uncomfortably familiar in each other's eyes.
It was an unconditional trust and admiration for the traveler and the doctor's battlefield planning.
But in any case, their goals are temporarily the same.
After receiving a positive response, Sora led the two of them lightly towards the transfer area that looked like a train platform. At this time, a patrolling duo of phantom soldiers just happened to walk slowly over their heads.
These unnatural creations seemed a little sluggish when they found something other than their target.
It is precisely this seemingly otherworldly patrol mode that has successfully helped the Antimatter Corps kill many ordinary people stranded in the containment compartments.
Unfortunately, their patrol patterns are too easy to analyze for time travelers who have already backstabbed countless unlucky people.
As a former spy, Holhayya has not yet completely forgotten her old skills in counter-reconnaissance. Eula has also developed the ability to launch quick raids in the long-term confrontation with the Hilichurls and Fatui, but God knows how they were able to sneak under the track silently in high heels.
Eula followed Kong's instructions very smoothly, and pressed the blade of the sword towards the back of the neck of the virtual soldier on the left, and with a crackling sound, she pressed it against the outer shell of the shuttle and chopped it off fiercely. At the same time, Holhaiya on the right also pierced the chest of another virtual soldier with the tip of his tail, and then rolled its body down along the arc of the shuttle shell, forcibly pulling it from the nose to the outer track and hiding it.
It was a sneak attack without any sense of honor, and the system didn't even have time to play the battle music - but the two girls didn't mind this quick, efficient and safe solution.
"Well done for not triggering the alarm or recruiting additional personnel."
After all the corpses of the virtual soldiers dissipated on their own, Kong carefully poked his head out from the track below, grabbed the tip of Holhaiya's tail that had just easily pierced the virtual soldier, and climbed onto the platform.
"Eula, don't feel guilty. All intelligence shows that the Antimatter Corps' goal is to destroy and kill. They are even more unreasonable and uncommunicative than the Hillichuls."
Kong Jian Youla was still looking down at the place where Xu Zu's body disappeared, thinking that she had not committed any killing for too long and began to feel dazed.
"? I know, I'm just studying the weak spots in this thing's armor."
She expressed her confusion in a calm manner in the link: "It seems to have a layer of elemental shield on its body. It feels very stiff when I cut it. Moreover, I didn't recover the elemental force when I killed it."
"No elemental energy? Holhaiya, do you feel that your Originium skills are not running smoothly?"
After hearing Eula's concerns, Kong's main concern was not the shield, but the charging problem.
"It's a little harder than when I was in Terra, but this is a different world, right?"
There was a lingering worry in Holhaiya's answer, but it was masked by her playful tone.
"The rules don't apply... Ha, even though I guessed it a long time ago, I still sometimes have a bit of luck." Kong felt even more headache.
Now, if all the "special energy" that Holhaiya and Eula brought into this world is consumed, they will become blank heroes and will not be able to use any skills.
"When you fight, pay attention to your energy consumption. Try to use less skills and ultimates, and save your energy for the tough guys."
Kong believed that they would plan the use of special energy, but it was hard for Holhaiya. No matter how strong her body was, she was still a sorcerer after all...
When he thought about the severe tests he would face in the future, Kong felt uncomfortable. Only the daily task rewards he had just received could make him feel a little extra safe.
[Daily mission completed, AK-47X1, optional flash bomb X3, smoke bomb X3, decoy bomb X1, Molotov cocktail X3 have been distributed, please check. ]
After receiving the first batch of "plug-ins", Kong didn't mind the inquiring looks of his two female companions. He took out the Kalashnikov Staff from the "void" and began to inspect it.
Not to mention, Kong's current deceptive appearance as a blond handsome boy, holding a thick and powerful assault rifle, is quite visually impactful.
"Is this a gun? I remember you like this kind of weapon very much." Holhaiya curiously observed Kong's every skillful movement when he checked the magazine and bolt.
"Somewhat similar. After all, this is the most reliable weapon, has the lowest learning cost, and does not require much strength from the user."
Sora nodded and put the magazine in place. "Sometimes a staff is not as convenient as a good gun. Besides, guns don't require you to inject your own energy as a primer like a gun or a staff."
The amount of ammunition provided by the system was very generous, enough for him to shoot the barrel of the assault rifle into pieces.
With this weapon, no matter how much the actual combat power is improved, Kong will have more choices when planning his itinerary.
He glanced calmly at the small map marked by the system. There were actually 15 virtual soldiers and an elite monster that looked very much like a centaur lurking behind this small platform. Ah Ha said that the thing seemed to be called the Virtual Soldier Trampler, and it ran like a tank.
Although the team's infiltration did not immediately raise the alarm for the enemy, some guys hiding in the dark still sensed that there were gaps in the defense line here, so they reorganized the team at the intersection, as if they were planning to watch this important road and stop any humans coming from three directions.
Kong compared the combat power levels of both sides and realized that if he wanted to buy time, he still had to take the initiative to break out. However, he could find a way to disperse the enemy's patrol team as much as possible to give the three of them a chance to quickly enter the support compartment.
"A trampler, thirteen virtual pawns, and a tamperer, what is that? It looks like a heavy particle... Yes, I've seen it in the information provided by Aha." Kong leaned against the wall and carefully sketched an attack plan in his mind through the reconnaissance information provided by Eula.
They didn't have any questions about those humanoid monsters, but when they saw the spherical "transporter" like Baryon, they began to have doubts in their hearts.
"These things look bad... they won't explode on their own, will they?"
Both Eula and Holhaiya have seen many guys who couldn't beat them and then went to 2887. They have many ways to avoid them, but they are afraid that Kong will be involved.
"No, the cores of these things, including the virtual soldiers, are quite stable. At least that's what the system says."
Kong tapped his temple, turned off the safety of his rifle, and subconsciously touched the weapon belt given by the system and took out a smoke bomb from it.
"I'll block a smoke in the middle and then flash high. When running, be careful not to raise your vision too high, and don't stare at the position with the mirror. Stay in the smoke and wait for my signal."
