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

Only the toes, unconsciously tightening and loosening their grip on the sheets and slightly curling up, betrayed the turmoil in their owner's heart at that moment.

"What am I doing?"

A muffled sound came from under the pillow, tinged with annoyance and a hint of barely perceptible embarrassment.

She quickly looked up, swiftly took the pair of high heels from the warehouse, and then, as if dealing with some contraband, quickly stuffed them into the deepest corner of the closet, covering them completely with several pieces of clothing.

After doing all this, she finally let out a long sigh of relief, fell back onto the bed, and buried her face in the pillow again.

"Should I... wear it for him to see?"

This thought made her ears feel slightly hot.

"..."

"No."

She immediately denied it, her voice muffled, "It was clearly... I who refused."

But her gaze involuntarily drifted toward the wardrobe.

In the corner, the edge of the scarlet shoe sole was faintly visible in the shadows, like a silent temptation.

The next second, Texas seemed to have made some kind of decision.

She quickly bought a standard 25-slot tactical backpack from the trading post.

She got out of bed, tiptoed to the wardrobe, parted the clothes, took out her high heels, and carefully put them into her backpack.

Then, she placed the backpack neatly in the most conspicuous and easily accessible equipment area of ​​the room.

It was as if a standard equipment maintenance was being carried out.

After doing all this, she looked at the backpack and murmured to herself, as if trying to convince someone:

"It's just... a backup. We don't necessarily have to use it, right?"

Meanwhile, Han Fei had returned to his room, taken a shower, and lay down on the bed, slowly placing orders in the trading house.

Having a control panel makes things much more convenient; otherwise, he'd probably still be squatting next to that pillar in the R&D department—the computer next to that pillar can access the trading market.

The efficiency with which Little Purple sells is truly touching; the auction house is full again in no time.

Feeling utterly bored, Han Fei began to study his control panel.

Actually, many of the functions are the same as those in Delta, except that the activity interface is missing.

The mall interface is still there, but Han Fei can't enter it; it prompts him to upgrade the Special Operations Department first.

Han Fei had no idea who this B Mall was for. He didn't have a single penny to spare, so where was he going to top up his Triangle Coins?

After fiddling around for a long time without figuring it out, Han Fei returned to the social media interface.

There are only three profile pictures in my social media list: the Exusiai sisters and a Texas.

There's not much to research about that, but the team recruitment and the recent games I've played with are more interesting.

Han Fei clicked on the former first, and sure enough, it was blank.

This is not surprising, after all, in the entire Terra, it is estimated that only he and his friends are searching for supplies.

However, this recent playmate gave Han Fei a little surprise.

Talulah, Frostnova, Alina, Patriot Lappland, Andorn, Mostima...

One by one, familiar names appeared in Han Fei's sight.

This almost immediately made Han Fei think of a possibility—could this thing have arranged all the characters I encountered during the search, attack, and withdrawal process here?

And judging from the results that have emerged, this is clearly the case.

However, some people's names have a gray background, and it's unclear why.

For example, the backgrounds of the characters in the tundra are mostly gray.

Lappland, Mostima, and Fiameta are highlighted, while Andorn is grayed out.

Obviously, this couldn't have been a character being sent. Not to mention, Talulah and Andorn aren't so easy to send.

But Han Fei doesn't know the exact reason yet.

On a whim, Han Fei tentatively added Froststar as a friend.

After waiting for a while, no new person appeared in my friend list.

So, after making the changes, he added Lappland.

Lappland agreed quickly, and the next second, a new Lappland appeared in the panel, followed by her private message.

Lappland: "Where did you take Texas?!"

"Huh?"

Han Fei raised an eyebrow upon seeing the text, thinking to himself, "As expected of you, still thinking about Texas."

Han Fei still liked Lappland quite a bit, and would tease her about it.

Having not seen each other for so long, Han Fei couldn't resist teasing Lagou again, so he replied, "Guess?"

"?"

"I do not guess you guess guess?"

Lappland responded quickly, almost as soon as Han Fei typed in his message.

Han Fei smirked and continued, "If you don't guess, you won't see Texas, okay?"

"?"

Han Fei smiled and replied, "Don't worry, she's doing very well here with me."

Just as I sent the message, a new private message popped up. It was from Froststar, whom I had just added as a friend but hadn't accepted.

Froststar: "Sorry, something came up and I was delayed. It's been a long time. I didn't expect to receive a message from you now."

"Long time no see," Han Fei replied. "How have you been lately?"

Frostnova: "Fortunately, we have integrated quite a few infected, and the team is much larger than before. However, the pressure of survival is always there. Resources in the tundra are too scarce. Talulah is considering whether to take us south."

Froststar: "How have you been lately? We haven't seen each other since we last parted, and I haven't heard a word from you. It's really a shame."

"Everyone misses you, even Talulah mentions you from time to time."

Han Fei replied, "I'm doing alright. I've been busy traveling, and I recently went to Colombia and Laterano. Are you short of supplies? I can try to help you."

After the message was sent, Froststar disappeared again.

"Hello? Are you still there?"

"???"

Han Fei waited for a long time but didn't receive a reply.

This made Han Fei somewhat worried, wondering if something had happened to Froststar.

"Strange."

Han Fei stroked his chin, somewhat puzzled, and said, "The news from Lappland came quite quickly, which means it shouldn't be my problem. Could it be that something really happened to Frostnova?"

Thinking of this, Han Fei couldn't help but feel a little worried.

But no matter how he asked, Froststar did not answer.

Han Fei waited for a long time but Shuangxing didn't reply, and his anxiety deepened as time went by.

As a result, just as Han Fei was thinking about whether he should go back to the secret dam to try his luck and see if he could return to the tundra,

Froststar finally replied.

"Sorry, this communicator was captured by us. It wasn't in good condition and seemed to have malfunctioned again. We spent a lot of time and effort fixing it."

Volume 1: Chapter 131 Pre-departure Preparations

Seeing Froststar's reply, Han Fei finally breathed a sigh of relief and replied:

"It's good that you're alright. I was worried something had happened to you since you didn't reply to my messages for so long."

In addition to replying, based on the information provided by Shuangxing, Han Fei also had a general idea of ​​the gray and bright states in this social list.

— Operators are contacted through social systems, while the operators on the other end rely on communicators to send and receive messages.

This leads to the possibility that the operator has a usable communicator, so the status is displayed as "online" when it is lit up, and as "offline" when it is not.

Upon closer examination, Han Fei felt that this possibility was quite high.

Players like Mostima and Fiameta definitely have communication devices, and Laterano's financial resources are trustworthy.

Not to mention Lapland, a wealthy heiress.

Andorn just left, and probably hasn't even found a place to stay yet, so he's also offline with his status grayed out.

As for the people on the tundra, because they were poor, they probably couldn't afford to have a communicator for everyone. Even if they captured one, it would mostly be given to messengers or similar units, rather than being carried by themselves.

Frostnova quickly replied, "No, I'm at the camp right now. My father and Talulah are both there. How could anything have happened? Don't overthink it. But thank you for your concern."

Seeing this, Han Fei couldn't help but ask, "How are Talulah and Alina doing? Are they alright?"

Frostnova: "Yes, everyone is doing well. Although the problem of supplies has not been solved yet, we are trying to find ways to ensure that everyone can have enough to eat, and things are getting back on track."

Han Fei wanted to help with supplies on the tundra, but he didn't have any leads at the moment.

Putting aside how to get back to the tundra, even if they could get back steadily, giving Han Fei a 45-slot red envelope filled with canned food would probably be just a drop in the ocean.

However, Han Fei replied, "I'll try to think of a solution for you, but we don't have any ideas yet. Heading south is definitely an option, at least it's better than staying stuck in the tundra."

A short while later, Froststar sent a message:

"Yes, that's what we think too. As for helping, you must be very busy right now, so let's not trouble you. We'll figure something out ourselves."

Han Fei replied, "After all, I've received your help before. It wouldn't be right for me to stand idly by when my friend is in trouble, would it?"

The two chatted casually, and it was clear that Froststar's situation was indeed quite difficult; the communicator was unreliable, making even simple conversation difficult.

After a while, this unusually laggy cross-world chat came to an end.

Froststar said, "I have some things to take care of here, and the communicator isn't working very well either. Let's talk next time. Next time, I'll try to get a better communicator."

"Row."

Han Fei was about to end his reply with that sentence, but looking at the cute white bunny figure, he suddenly became interested and added another sentence:

"Just now, you said everyone misses me, but you didn't mention yourself. What about you? Have you missed me?"

After a long while, Froststar replied with a single word, and then her avatar went dark.

"think."

Looking at that simple word, Han Fei's lips curled into a smile, and he silently turned off the communication.

…………

The next day, as morning approached, Han Fei and his colleagues gathered in front of the pillar in the R&D department.

After a night's rest, the girls were in top form. Knowing they were about to go out on a field mission, they also changed into appropriate outfits.

Remian retains her original skin, the same all-black outfit she wore when she was at Elite 0.

Remule, on the other hand, somehow bought a new skin – the Land of Life series, Wilderness Adventure.

Texas, on the other hand, was wearing the [Past/Passe] series select version/Will set that Han Fei had bought in the previous round when Han Fei was still present.

A black coat with a red lining makes her look both cool and beautiful.

Han Fei didn't really care about the angel sisters' outfits, but Texas's outfit was something he hadn't expected.

Where are my black stockings?!

However, since both sisters were present, Han Fei couldn't bring himself to ask and had to suppress his doubts for the time being.

Han Fei easily pulled his friends into the group.

At first, he was worried that someone might be left behind, but after checking, it seemed that the team could only have a maximum of 4 people.

Then he understood that this was the upper limit of the large-scale battlefield.

Although I was a little surprised, upon further reflection, it didn't seem so strange.

The great battlefield is also a continent!
