"After being bullied by normal people for so long, he's still willing to hang out with them! Willing to be their dog! People like this... deserve to die!"

Mephisto stared at the "protagonist" in the scene with a fierce look on his face, and his tone became fanatical.

Tallulah, who was standing next to him, naturally felt it and immediately moved a short distance to the side.

Although she knew that this guy was from Kosice's side, every time she saw Mephistopheles, Tallulah couldn't help but feel scared.

If I had listened to Kosice at the beginning, would things have turned out like this?

Forgetting his original intention, he only thought about revenge, bringing the flames of war to this land, involving other innocent people, and even...

Those who had helped her?

Fortunately, I woke up in time, faced my heart again, and found the original path.

only...

The price is a bit high...

"Faust! Take action! Capture one person first and send him to Sister Tallulah as a gift!"

Seeing that Tallulah ignored him, Mephistopheles simply called Faust, who had been hiding for a long time, and prepared to take practical actions to win Tallulah's favor.

For Mephistopheles, pleasing Tallulah and exchanging more enemy heads for her approval is his greatest satisfaction.

Now, there happened to be a group of "traitors" showing off their power in front of them, so...

Is there anything more pleasurable than personally wiping out a group of traitors?

Obviously not.

"Faust?"

Turning her eyes away from the battle off the field, Tallulah looked towards a tall building not far in front of her.

If there is any place here suitable for sniping, it is only there.

Sure enough, the moment Tallulah raised her head, a barely perceptible flash of color appeared on the roof of the building opposite, and then an arrow whizzed out.

The arrow, with its purple glow, stood out in the entire battlefield, but no one could dodge before it hit.

There is no other word, just one word: fast!

Having witnessed Faust's abilities, Tallulah was of course aware of his strength. Usually, by the time the enemy noticed Faust's attack, he was already dead.

If you can kill someone with one strike, it doesn't matter whether you are conspicuous or not.

"I'll take over the scene, Mephistopheles. You take them to the radio station as planned."

Drawing the longsword from her waist, Tallulah took a few steps forward.

She decided to see if she could save these people, maybe even one or two.

The combat capability displayed by the other party was almost the same as that of several commanders under her command, and it was also an unaffiliated medical organization, which also met the conditions for trading with them.

Judging from the fact that there are infected people in the opposing team, they should not be the kind of people who are prejudiced. Even if they cannot get it, they can at least leave a "good impression" on them.

Of course, the premise of all this is to save the other person.

Flames burst out from the soles of Tallulah's feet, and tiny sparks of flame spread out, lifting Tallulah forward.

"...Everyone! Move!"

Mephistopheles was very unwilling to have his prey snatched away, but since the person who stole it was Tallulah, he had nothing to say.

The Rhodes Island group was originally the gift he prepared for Tallulah. Now Tallulah wanted to take action herself and kill them personally. Mephisto did not dare to say anything more, so he had to follow Tallulah's orders obediently and lead the team away.

The group left here in a mighty manner, like a swarm of passing locusts, taking away all the surviving people and things on the street.

"Nice fighting skills. He was able to block three arrows in a row."

Walking into the arena, Tallulah raised flames and blocked the fourth arrow shot by Faust.

"Stop, Faustus, and go and join Mephistopheles in restraining him."

Pressing the communicator on her ear, Tallulah unilaterally connected to Faust's communication channel.

"learn..."

A cold male voice was heard. Faust, who was hiding on a high-rise building, put away his crossbow. After taking a look at the crowd of people below who were like ants, his body slowly became transparent and disappeared on the spot.

"Rhode Island? That's the name, right?"

Controlling the flames on the sword to extinguish, Tallulah sheathed it again.

"Yes...you are..."

Amiya, who was in charge of the team, stepped forward first and protected the injured Lin Guang and ACE behind her.

"Talulah, the leader of the Reunion Movement, is also the culprit who turned this city into this."

Tallulah spoke in a relaxed tone, her eyes fixed on Amiya.

She didn't expect that the other party's right to speak was in the hands of a little child, in the hands of a child.

"Ms. Tallulah... we mean no harm. We are here only to bring back a friend of ours. Please don't make things difficult for us."

Facing the pressure of the evil dragon, Amiya felt a little uncomfortable, but she still refused the help of the operators behind her.

The most important person to her is behind her, and she will never back down!

"I can let you go, but you have to answer a question first."

Standing in front of everyone on Rhodes Island, Tallulah blocked their only way forward.

"Yes, Miss Tallulah, please..."

Forced by the situation, Amiya could only delay temporarily.

She's still asleep and can't give orders. If she were here, they would definitely be able to break out successfully...

"Are there infected people in your team? So... did they come here voluntarily, or were they forced to? Or was there a monetary transaction involved?"

Tallulah looked past Amiya and at the people behind her.

"And you, Rabbit, you're also infected, right?"

Volume 5: Chapter 96: Hostages

"It's true that I'm infected, but what does this have to do with us?"

Amiya was not at all surprised when her identity was revealed.

Ever since they met Mephisto, he had been nagging about their identity as infected people. He kept talking about it for a long time, but in the end, he only had one meaning.

That's why they hang out with normal people.

Amiya was certain that Rhodes Island had never encountered this organization called the Reunion Movement before, nor had they ever met this person called Mephisto.

She expressed confusion about the other party's accusations.

Now that Tallulah said this again, she finally understood why Mephisto was like that.

"In Ursus, infected people are not allowed to appear in the sun. Everyone despises us, and normal people avoid us, fearing that we will pollute their fresh air."

Walking forward slowly, Tallulah walked up step by step with a strong sense of oppression.

The people of Rhodes Island retreated as Tallulah advanced, wary of the enemy leader.

"As long as the infected are not allowed to exist on the land of Ursus, I am very curious about how you sneaked in, a group of... normal people getting along with the infected."

"We are all friends who help each other. Saving the infected and those in need is the original intention of Rhodes Island. This is the only reason that has kept us going until now."

Stopping her retreat, Amiya stood up, using her thin body to block everyone and stop Tallulah from advancing.

"Friends? There are no real friends when interests are involved. When you can't give them what they want, they will leave you."

Tallulah had seen too much along the way, and she didn't believe Amiya's friend's words at all.

Not to mention the group composed of infected people and normal people, even the so-called mutual help among the infected people will go their separate ways because of interests.

Sometimes, a small cookie is enough for them to see each other clearly.

"Show some ability to convince me, Rabbit, this is a matter of whether you can get out of here."

The fingers pressing on the hilt of the sword moved, and the temperature around Tallulah began to rise gradually.

"How does it compare to Huang?"

Feeling the intense heat, ACE in the team whispered.

"It's much hotter than Miss Huang's, and... unlike Miss Huang's temperature increase, this is a physical flame. I can even feel it burning my throat..."

Margaret twisted her head uncomfortably, moved her arm that was injured by the arrow, and answered ACE in a low voice.

Having fought with Huang before, she knew this very well. The two might be of similar strength, but in terms of attainments in Originium skills, the person in front of her was far superior.

Huang's abilities are mostly based on her strong body, so it's impossible for her to be all-powerful. After all...

It would be a bit too biased to give someone who can do high-altitude rappelling a character as a magic genius.

"Ms. Tallulah...Ahem!"

As the temperature rose, Amiya also began to feel uncomfortable, and for a while, the Rhodes Island team was coughing.

"This is the philosophy of Rhodes Island. A ship that walks the earth... and embraces all suffering... whether infected or normal..."

"As long as they are willing to come together for the ideals of Rhodes Island, then everyone is the same, infected people... normal people, all the same!"

Amiya struggled to speak out, suppressing the discomfort in her throat.

The burning pain in her throat made her smile pale, and she only felt slightly better with the help of the medical operator in the rear.

"Same...really the same?"

Looking at the people behind Amiya, Tallulah lowered her hand from the hilt of her sword.

Amiya's words were childish, even nonsense, but those who stood behind her without backing down seemed to be confirming Amiya's thoughts and backing her up.

When Amiya started speaking, these people no longer retreated, but gathered around Amiya, providing support for the child.

Just like when he first encountered those sharp blades, he had companions behind him to rely on.

When Bozhukas put his hand on her shoulder to clear her name and said that they were family, Tallulah had made up her mind.

Take them out with you...definitely!

At this point, from Tallulah's perspective, Rhodes Island had already passed the test.

After all, there are very few people who can stand firm when faced with the threat of life and death, and this group of people... happen to be them.

The relationship between them has gone beyond a transaction based on money, such as employment. Perhaps, as Amiya said, what attracted them here was nothing more than the common goal they pursued.

Seeing that Tallulah didn't speak, Amiya thought that her words failed to convince her and immediately prepared to speak.

"Ms. Tallulah, if you..."

"No need for that. Such talk is too childish for me. There is no point in saying more."

Before Amiya could finish, Tallulah raised her hand to interrupt her: "Leave a hostage behind, and I can let you go. In half a month, I will ensure that he returns to you safely."

Tallulah waved her finger in front of Amiya's face and said, "The news of Chernobog's fall will be announced to the outside world soon, but the specific circumstances must not be disclosed to them yet."

"Including the names of the leaders of the Reunion Movement."

Tallulah put her hand down and looked across at him expressionlessly.

The consolidation movement's capture of Chernoberg was a crucial battle for them. They had to let the outside world know about it, to make them cautious, to let them know the price of upholding "justice"!

But hiding the real integration movement is also a necessary step.

As long as the infected people around the world know that the banner of resistance has been raised in Ursus, where oppression is most severe, it will be the greatest encouragement to them!

At that time, he could lead the Integration Movement to escape by putting Kosice and her consumables in the open to attract fire and create a chance for them to escape.

It would be great if Kosice could be truly killed in Chernobyl.

"Impossible! I promised Dr. Kal'tsit before I came here that I would bring everyone back!"

After hearing Tallulah's conditions, Amiya refused without a second thought.

The other party is the boss of a terrorist organization. What's the difference between handing his team members over to her and letting them die?

Not to mention whether Tallulah's words are credible.

"In that case, I can't let you go. I'll have to trouble you all to stay here for a few more days."

Seeing that the "negotiations" broke down, Tallulah stopped talking and drew the longsword at her waist. The flames that had just receded surrounded the people of Rhodes Island again.
