What happened to the Delta Force? It turned into Arknights!

Han Fei then turned around, looked at Theresa, and chuckled, "Hello, from today onwards, I am an operator of Babel Tower."

"Eh?!"

Even though Theresa had seen a lot, she couldn't help but widen her eyes in surprise.

Good grief, what kind of development is this? She was only gone for a short while, how did the new boss become her subordinate?!

"boss?"

Texas couldn't help but frown; this was not good news to her.

She didn't want to be inexplicably drawn into the Tower of Babel.

Seeing this, Han Fei explained the whole story.

This made Texas's brows furrow slightly, and she said expressionlessly, "You scared me."

That indifferent demeanor paired with that slightly aggrieved complaint created a strangely endearing contrast, making it rather cute.

"Wow, so cute."

Han Fei couldn't help but pinch Texas's little face and said, "My Cherlinina is so cute."

Texas glanced at Han Fei, but didn't say anything. She simply turned her head away to avoid Han Fei's mischievous hand, and looked to the side, seemingly not wanting to pay attention to him.

But the pinkish tinge and the slightly swaying tail revealed the girl's good mood at the moment.

Seeing this, Remy's expression became subtle, but she didn't say anything, instead asking, "So what should we do next?"

Han Fei's attention was naturally drawn to this, and he said, "Do you even need to ask? Let's eat. The entire Tower of Babel isn't something you can just search anywhere."

“I don’t recommend you do that,” Theresa said. “I can’t go around with you.”

She looked at Han Fei apologetically and said softly, "I am a 'dead person' now and cannot accompany you in front of them. Without my company, if you act too recklessly, it may cause trouble."

"Tsk, that's true."

Han Fei nodded slightly, indicating his understanding. There was no other way; Theresa's "death" was necessary. She had to become a "dead person" in order to stop this civil war.

The fewer people who know about this, the better, so even the members of the Tower of Babel must keep it a secret.

However, when this topic came up, Han Fei started to worry again and asked, "Can you still go to Kroos?"

"This is acceptable."

Theresa said softly, "Since we're recruiting her, we'll be spending more time together in the future, so it's okay to tell her."

"Furthermore, I will do this in secret, without letting anyone else know I exist."

"Okay, I'll search for it myself then, that way the target will be smaller," Han Fei said.

"I also need to go!"

When Remi heard that dinner was served, she immediately raised her hand and said, "Boss, I'm not full yet!"

"You still have space in your bag?" Han Fei raised an eyebrow. Remy Le was the one who ate the most meals.

"Uh, it seems like that's all." Remy scratched her head.

She had already eaten the entire top floor, plus the safe mission, plus a CEO, and there were still bullets in her bag, so there really wasn't much space left.

White eggs? White eggs were thrown away long ago!

That stuff isn't worth much, it's not as good as supplies!

Remule now only has level 3 or higher bullets remaining, so she still has combat capability, but she can't fight for long periods of time.

"Then how about this, you can swap your backpack with mine."

Remianne said softly, "I have some things in my backpack that aren't very valuable. You can go and replace them."

As she spoke, Remy took off her backpack.

"Thank you, sis!"

The two exchanged backpacks, and Remy happily took her sister's backpack, walked to Han Fei's side, and said, "Come on, boss, let's go eat!"

"Row."

Han Fei nodded slightly. He hadn't eaten much. The top floor was given to Xiao Le, and the "morgue" was given to Texas and Remian. There was still a lot of room for improvement in his backpack.

"Be careful, we're here waiting for you to come back. If anything happens, we'll come right away."

"Be careful on the road, and please don't act recklessly to avoid causing unnecessary misunderstandings."

Two gentle voices rang out at the same time, and Remian and Theresa, who were speaking, subconsciously looked at each other.

The next second, the two gentle women simultaneously revealed remarkably similar, tolerant, and serene smiles.

Volume 1: Chapter 173 Kroos

Theresa did not chat with Remianne for long.

She is already a "dead" person, and a dead person should have the self-awareness of a dead person.

Staying out all the time makes it easy for her to be discovered, especially since she also has the task of being a "new boss and employee".

Soon, she quietly left the corridor with Ines.

Remien didn't ask any further questions. Theresa knew the Tower of Babel far better than she did, so she wasn't worried that the other woman would get lost.

With Theresa gone, and the most lively Remuel also absent, only she and Texas were left alone, and the corridor suddenly became so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Remianne is not shy at all; she can handle talkative people with ease and engage in lively conversation.

But unfortunately, Texas is not a talkative girl.

Remy watched as she leaned against the wall, her eyes vacant, seemingly lost in thought, radiating an aura of cold indifference that kept strangers at bay.

Remian wasn't in a hurry. She waited patiently for a while before slowly breaking the silence:

"What are you thinking about?"

"Ok?"

Texas snapped out of her reverie at the sound, glanced at Remian, and instinctively replied, "Nothing."

But as soon as she said it, she regretted it.

The time they spent together proved that Remian was an extremely gentle companion, and Texas always felt very relaxed when she was with her.

At this moment, the gentle and beautiful smile on the other person's face was so comforting that I felt my own response was too distant and cold.

She paused, then changed her words, saying, "I was just thinking... about what would happen next."

Is this our future?

Remien gracefully walked to Texas's side, mimicking her gesture by gently leaning against the wall, turning her head to look at her, her expression as if to say, "Would you like to talk to me?"

"Ah."

Texas responded softly. Perhaps it was the word "we" that touched her, for her tone softened unconsciously: "Our team is expanding, but if I remember correctly, four people seems to be the maximum number of people in a squad."

"Oh, so that's what it was about."

Remien nodded with a knowing look on her face. "Yes, I remember it the same way."

She paused briefly, then added softly, "Actually, I've already mentioned it to him before, but... he doesn't seem to care much."

"is it?"

A hint of surprise flashed in Texas's eyes.

“Yes, it was when you and Theresa went to ‘activate the card’,” Remian explained.

"I see."

Texas withdrew her gaze, looking down at the ground. A few strands of hair slipped down, obscuring her profile and making it difficult for Remian to see her expression.

Even so, Remien could still vaguely guess Texas's thoughts.

This was not due to any empathy, nor because of her exceptional observational skills, but rather stemmed from the unspoken understanding between girls in similar circumstances.

—Where are the similarities? Perhaps they lie in the fact that they both have some ambiguous and inexplicable feelings for Han Fei.

So Remien said softly, "Let him decide. Whatever choice he makes, I will support him."

"indeed."

Texas nodded slightly, and when she looked at Remian again, her gaze held a hint of scrutiny and curiosity.

Noticing her gaze, Remien tilted her head and asked with a smile, "What's wrong?"

"Aren't you worried?" Texas asked softly. "That demon king is somewhat similar to you."

Where do they resemble each other?

Remian blinked, then a slight smile curved her lips: "Remian is Remian, and Theresa is Theresa. We have never been the same person."

Seeing her like this, Texas withdrew her gaze and simply replied, "It's good that you know what you're doing."

"Don't you have any confidence?"

Remien countered with a question, then lowered her voice, a hint of slyness in it: "But speaking of which, I think it's time to keep an eye on our young boss, don't you think?"

Upon hearing this, a barely perceptible ripple finally appeared in Texas's usually calm and composed eyes.

She didn't reply, but simply looked at Remünen quietly, waiting for her to continue.

Remien raised her eyes to meet Texas's gaze, and their eyes met silently in the air.

Texas doesn't actually know Remian that well.

If Remy was standing here, she would definitely recognize this as a sign that her sister's "cunning" side was about to surface.

But Texas is not Remule.

Her relationship with Remienne was far less intimate than her relationship with Remielle.

Therefore, she could only vaguely sense that beneath Remi's still gentle and quiet smile, there seemed to be a faint, almost imperceptible excitement.

But the feeling was so vague that Texas couldn't even be sure if it was just her imagination.

"You see, our team is indeed getting bigger and bigger."

Remien still had a faint smile on her lips. "But have you noticed? They're all girls. And they're all girls of marriageable age."

Seeing that Texas still didn't speak, Remian continued, "You, me, and Xiao Le, we've all come this far because of our ties with him, but what about those two?"

Texas understood and said, "You mean, remind him not to act so recklessly, is that right?"

"No, that's not what I thought."

Remian suddenly stepped forward, walked to Texas's side, and leaned down as if to whisper to Texas.

In that instant, Texas's body tensed up.

Remian was indeed a partner she acknowledged, but this was the first time Texas had been so close to her, which made her feel somewhat uncomfortable.

But ultimately, trust in his partner suppressed his body's instinctive reaction.

Despite not being quite used to it, Texas didn't push Remian away.

Furthermore, she did indeed feel a growing curiosity about Remian's plans.

Remianne whispered in his ear, "I mean we can do this..."

The girl's faint fragrance and gentle voice gradually relaxed Texas's tense body.

But as she continued talking, her nerves, which had finally relaxed, tightened again, and even the tips of her ears turned a light red.

After explaining the plan, Remien straightened up and looked at Texas, who was clearly a bit excited, with great interest, and said, "What do you think?"

Texas forcefully suppressed the stirrings in her heart, trying to shake off the words that had just made her blush and her heart race, and said calmly, "Your courage is even greater than I imagined..."

However, her still-reddened ears and her tightly clenched fists that still trembled uncontrollably spoke volumes about the turmoil that Remian's words had stirred in Texas's heart at that moment.

“I am a Lateran.”

Remian remained the same gentle older sister, as if she weren't the woman who had made Texas blush and her heart race with just a few words. She chuckled and said, "I may not be as lively as Xiao Le, but I am a genuine Lateran."

Remian could never be associated with the word "cowardly." Despite her gentle demeanor and caring older sister appearance, she was actually a genuine wheelchair speed shooting champion in the original Ark storyline.

Would someone with a weak heart dare to do this kind of work?

Texas remained silent for a long time, then suddenly asked, "So when are you starting?"

"me?"
