Saiyan stowaways on the Ark

"After the Chernobog riots, it goes without saying that the oppression of the infected will intensify in Ursus. But they will also spread the Reunion Movement's actions to other regions, portraying their actions as those of the infected, and continue to push the infected issue to the forefront. Other city-states will also increase their vigilance against local infected because the Reunion Movement claims to be an organization for the rights of the infected, and may even use this as an excuse to launch 'cleaning' operations."

Kal'tsit initially seemed to be just bringing up a new topic, but she never took her eyes off Wei Yanwu.

"Just like Lungmen, but I'm glad that Lungmen, as an open and free city-state, did not 'abandon the local infected people who are also citizens' because of the atrocities of integration."

"Superintendent Chen, please sit down." Chen, who was about to get up and question Kal'tsit about the meaning of her words, was stopped by Wei Yanwu, who said calmly, "Please continue."

"But as you can see, the Chernobog incident made others feel that the infected were a hidden danger, and the second outbreak in Lungmen provided evidence of their concern. In any case, the situation of the infected will become more urgent. Even though there are infected operators among Rhodes Island who are helping Lungmen fight against Reunion, due to our contractual relationship, others will only think that we are acting under orders, which cannot be used as a strong argument to refute the innocent infected."

Wei Yanwu continued, as if he knew what Kal'tsit was saying, after her pause:

"But at this time, the Yeti Squad, an infected organization unrelated to you, appeared. They intervened in the battlefield as outsiders, fighting against infected people as infected people themselves, and proving through their actions that this atrocity came from the 'Reunion Movement' rather than the 'infected people'."

"And they did indeed save countless Lungmen residents. The Reunion Movement arbitrarily represented the will of the Infected with its violence, while the Yetis stood up and made the most powerful rebuttal with their actions." Amiya also made a statement at this time, "People who have never fought for happiness joined the Reunion Movement because they had the opportunity to destroy the happiness of others and make them suffer like themselves, while the Ursus Yetis, who were persecuted by the most cruel empire, still stood up to protect others when the former abused violence."

"That's right. Even if it's just a small effect, the Yeti's behavior can alleviate the situation of the infected."

Ultimately, Wei Yanwu's gaze fell upon Tomat, who had been initially mentioned by Kal'tsit.

"So, what does this have to do with this young man?"

Yeah, what does it have to do with me? It's not like I foresaw this and specifically sought out Frostnova and the others.

Tomat was much more suspicious than Wei Yanwu. Although he had some strategic thinking, he was not an outstanding battlefield strategist and would not consider so many things. He would only consider whether the target would be destroyed too badly or whether there would be any negligible casualties.

"That's right. It was this young operator who foresaw all of this and brought us the Yeti Force. He's someone who can benefit this battle in terms of both combat strength and public opinion. I'm not recommending this operator on purpose, but rather introducing this important participant to you from a strategic reporting perspective."

This is also a disguised display of power—Rhodes Island is teeming with talent.

Was Wei Yanwu's special boarding of the ship not long ago intended to achieve this?

Let him take a look.

This is a rare instance of Kal'tsit and the Doctor reaching a consensus.

"Hahaha, so Tomat, you're being treated like a young tactical commander? You've really become a big shot, huh?"

The scene shifts back to after the meeting ended, where Ace, who hadn't attended, was the first to greet him. Thomas, with a less-than-pleasant expression, recounted the strange events that had occurred during the meeting.

“At the time, it wasn’t convenient for me to say ‘I didn’t, I’m not’,” Tomat said helplessly, spreading his hands. “But it’s not so bad. I’m hungry, how about we go get something to eat?”

“You ran away halfway through the last drink, so don’t even think about leaving this time at the celebration party!” Ace was still thinking about Tomat’s sudden departure that night, and slapped him hard on the back with his prosthetic arm.

"Okay, at least there's no full moon tonight—oh, never mind, let's go."

[Main Text] Saiyans, reporting for duty!: Chapter Twenty-Nine Branch Options

"I see... your squad was..."

"Each of them chose to fight to the end. There's no need to feel sorry for their choice, and you should too."

At the dinner table, although it wasn't exactly a long-awaited reunion, these two elites, who had indeed experienced life and death, shared a drink and recounted their respective experiences.

"That big explosion in Chernobog gave me the opportunity to shake off the Sarkaz's pursuit. After that, I infiltrated Reunion's team and also obtained some information about the Sarkaz mercenaries, which I have already told Amiya and the others."

Scout, a sniper operator, was also the squad leader during the Chernobog rescue operation. His mission was to intercept the Sarkaz mercenary forces hired by the Reunion Movement to reduce the difficulty of the rescue operation.

However, during the evacuation, when they were ambushed by W, who claimed to be the leader of the Sarkaz mercenaries, most people assumed that Scout, who had lost contact with them earlier, had met with misfortune.

No one expected that he would reveal his identity at Lungmen and join the battle, disrupting Faust's operation.

“We are both squad leaders, and protecting our team members is our job. But in the end, only the two of us captains are still alive.” Scout looked at the bustling cafeteria, which was not only filled with operatives eating, but also with wounded civilians who had received treatment and were now able to move around. Although most of them were still infected, seeing these healthy people moving around in front of him made the gloom in his heart lessen. “But if it weren’t for the explosion that saved my life, I wouldn’t have had the chance to save more people in Lungmen.”

"It's nothing, but I'm a little worried about whether they can handle the workload here." To avoid adding extra burden to the cafeteria, Tomat tightened his belt today and only ate a lunch for ten people. "In the three days I stayed, I never saw so many patients coming to Rhodes Island for treatment."

"You've got it wrong, Tomat." Just as Ace was about to explain, a cheerful female voice rang out from the noisy cafeteria.

Huang walked through the bustling crowd and sat down at the table where the three of them were, joining them in. He continued, "After all, we are one of the few organizations with the technology to treat Oripathy. Although no one came to see us while we were on the move, we were very busy in a big city like Lungmen with many infected people. After all, most people hope that their condition will not worsen."

"Oh, by the way, I'm an elite operator, codename Blaze. Nice to meet you."

During the Chernobog rescue operation, Huang was unable to participate due to other business in the area. However, since she was a close member of the elite team with Ace and the others, she naturally wanted to meet this man who had left behind many rumors after only three days of joining.

"So you're the one who broke thirty testing machines, broke thirty physical fitness records, and even ate thirty servings of Hibiscus Special Bento Boxes?"

For some reason, Huang deliberately listed the last item as the most unbelievable thing she knew about the rumors.

"Ah, you're the one who's three meters tall, can kill thirty Originium Bugs with a single roar, and can jump from a height of three hundred meters and drink thirty barrels of beer in one go?"

It wasn't that Thomas was completely ignorant of the island's operators because he had only been there a short time; he had heard of some of the well-known figures mentioned by word of mouth.

Tomath and Blaze both looked at Ace, and from their expressions, you could tell they were thinking, "Him or her?"

"Anyway, let's not talk about these trivial things. Ace and Scout both said you saved their lives and that you played a very important role in Lungmen's combat capabilities. I don't care if you have the title of elite operator or not. Anyway, I've decided to be your friend. If you ever need my help in the future, don't hesitate to ask." Huang took the barley tea that Ace was drinking instead of alcohol from in front of him and drank it all in one gulp. "If the cafeteria didn't not serve alcohol during the day, we would have started drinking already."

Then, Blaze also mentioned Frostnova, who had returned to Rhodes Island with her before.

Frostnova and the Yetis applied for medical checkups and treatment as "patients," paying for what they had already paid for—the aid they had received on the battlefield.

Moreover, the Yeti team members also seemed to show obvious enthusiasm for sharing some of the tasks.

Previously, they had only been fighting against the Ursus army and rescuing infected people under harsh conditions. Now, they have arrived at a safe and well-equipped medical facility. These soldiers, who already had battlefield medical experience, were approved to participate in the rescue after consultation.

Not only did it alleviate the shortage of medical personnel, but these experienced individuals were also adept at controlling patients who were emotionally agitated after their first infection. At least they wouldn't berate some of the timid medical staff to the point of tears. If they were rescued by the Yeti and then threw a tantrum, they would be the only ones crying.

Meanwhile, after the tense atmosphere of the Battle of Lungmen dissipated, Rhodes Island began to provide more stable psychological counseling to those rescued from Chernobog.

Most of these people have recovered from their physical injuries, but the emotional trauma they suffered is not so easily erased.

This was especially true for some of the younger people, whose post-war trauma was particularly pronounced during this period.

“Rhodes Island is going to be very busy lately. Although we have the Yetis helping out and some hospitals in Lungmen are also providing assistance, we are still mainly handling the issue of treating infected individuals. We need not only doctors but also people to maintain order,” Huang said. Therefore, I plan to cancel my remaining missions and stay at Rhodes Island. “Ace, Scout, what about you?”

Both of them also indicated that they would not be traveling far for the foreseeable future.

"However, I've heard about your situation. She gave you leave so you can get a proper rest after using such a scary method, right?"

Looking at the plate in front of Tomat, Huang naturally assumed that he was eating to replenish his energy due to fatigue.

So Tomat now faces two choices: one is to spend most of his time on the Rhodes Island and help them with some things.

Another option, as Huang mentioned, is to learn more about the local culture and customs, as well as other necessary information, under the guidance of the guides arranged by Kal'tsit.

Two options were placed on the same scale: on one side was Rhodes Island's responsibility, and on the other side was paid leave for eating, drinking, and having fun.

Thomas wanted to shout angrily:

Are you looking down on my sense of responsibility towards my work? I've been working diligently for the same organization for over a decade!

But paid leave is just too good to pass up.

The following chapter will present three options.

One focuses on the daily life of Rhodes Island (such as the Bear Crew).

One is a self-guided tour centered around Longmen (Penguin Turbulence).

And the original Shelag journey (Karlan warlord) foreshadowed in the previous text.

[Main Text] Saiyans, reporting for duty! : Final chapter, you guys get busy first.

"Frostnova and her Yeti squad have been confirmed to have betrayed the party."

"Faust and Mephistopheles disappeared after the territories they occupied fell."

"The broken bones lost contact during the evacuation."

"The three thousand elite troops dispatched to capture Longmen have also been confirmed to be completely wiped out."

The ruins of Chernobog's main city have remained unmoved since the day it fell, but the conspiracies gathered here and the undercurrents they stir up have never ceased.

Located at the very center, the core city serves as the location for controlling the movement of the entire city. To demonstrate their martial spirit and ambition to conquer everything by force, the Ursus Empire adopted a functional design that allows it to be used directly as a land warship during wartime.

On the core city warship, which is surrounded by countless branch cities and lies motionless in the wilderness, its bridge has become the throne of the tyrant who seized this place a few days ago.

However, this tyrant was not happy about conquering a city; on the contrary, he looked quite disheveled.

Much of her once flowing hair, which could have floated freely in the flames, was cut off, and a small section of one side of her hair was even broken off.

Her beautiful face was wrapped in bandages, covering burn-like scars. Her hands and feet, visible through her dress, were also wrapped in cloth. From the outside, it seemed that the place where she should sit was not a throne, but a hospital ICU.

This disheveled state was further compounded by the anger conveyed by the report from the red-haired girl below, whose face was hidden beneath a hood and mask.

Talulah stared intently at the girl in front of her with her still sharp gaze, and the temperature on the entire bridge seemed to rise.

The girl's sweat evaporated before it even hit the ground.

“I’m glad you’re still by my side, Kingslayer.” Talulah’s voice was still strong, as if the physical injuries had not had much of an impact on her inner spirit. “The battle at Lungmen… was my mistake. I didn’t know that the person of unknown origin would join the battle, and even turn his sword against us.”

“That Patriot…” the girl known as the Kingslayer mentioned the name of another Reunion cadre who was on another mission and hadn’t gone to Lungmen, “Should we let him know about Frostnova?”

"No need. He's on important business. Although I believe he won't let family issues affect his mission, we must ensure the other key is successfully obtained after one key has been lost."

Talulah let out a long sigh, seemingly in lamentation, yet also as if she were relaxing herself.

"Step down. I will transfer some of the authority they were originally in charge of to you, and promote some new cadres as well... Please let me calm down by myself for a while, okay? I think you also need time to process these things. Go, Lyudmila, don't worry about me."

The friendly tone used now made it seem as if the burning anger from before was just an illusion.

As the Kingslayer left through the bridge entrance, another familiar figure—W—brushed past her and entered the interior.

"If you're going to offer advice, put away your cynical tone; Talulah isn't in a good mood."
