Reincarnation NPC, but Arknights

A minute later, only Bai Ye and the man in sunglasses remained alive among those present.

The ground was littered with corpses whose necks had been punched through or twisted.

Some people had their throats pierced by something sharp.

Bai Ye ignored the corpse and walked towards the strange middle-aged man.

His body was clean; the blood had been deflected by the nitrogen-filled armor.

"Really boring……"

"You're too inexperienced. You should have brought more people with you. That way, I might have been more cautious."

Bai Ye returned the words to the middle-aged man verbatim.

The man was terrified, staring at Bai Ye with wide eyes, his lips trembling uncontrollably, unable to utter a single word.

"No matter what your purpose is, or what the purpose of the people behind you is, I will remember this grudge."

As Bai Ye spoke, he swung his air blade across Bai Ye's neck.

"A beach umbrella company, right..."

Bai Ye glanced at the icons on the truck container and shook his head.

He reached out and tried to put the container into his inventory.

Perhaps the system determined that this thing could be considered a single unit, and thus actually put the cargo box into the inventory.

Bai Ye was certain that the player's inventory did not have such an outrageous function.

He just tried it subconsciously, and he didn't expect it to actually work.

To be honest, this incident had a much greater impact on him than the previous attack.

In addition to the two types of infected biological weapons, the hounds and the Originium Bugs, White Night also procured some weapons that were still being tested, as well as drones.

The trademarks of these two companies were then transferred to Rhine Life.

The only difference was that the cargo box still bore the logo of the beach umbrella company.

Bai Ye took all the items with him.

After disposing of the corpses in the wilderness, Bai Ye stomped on and shattered the middle-aged man's sunglasses.

"A boring fight."

Chapter Thirty-Two: The Heartfelt Message

"I always feel like I'm the villain, digging a hole and burying a body in the wilderness outside Lungmen... If Officer Chen Huijie knew, she would be very angry..."

Although it is a wilderness, it is still located within the conflict-prohibited zone of the mobile city, that is, within the so-called "boundary line", and falls under the jurisdiction of Lungmen.

To avoid unnecessary trouble, Bai Ye could only dig the pit as deep as possible...

"It's such a hassle to deal with all this stuff..."

Bai Ye muttered to himself as he cleaned up the mess.

After this incident, his already low opinion of Columbia's tech companies plummeted even further.

Even Rhine Lab became increasingly untrustworthy in his eyes.

At this moment, Bai Ye had the idea of ​​establishing his own research institution.

After all, his identity has changed; he has gone from a player to a native of this world, and some of his ideas need to change as well.

Players can become lone wolves and act alone because their connection to the world is very weak.

Bai Ye was no longer alone; he also needed to expand his influence.

"I'll discuss this with Miss Swire when I get back..."

Bai Ye knew that his "Northern Cross" was about to start a new operation. He had previously set up "Namba Heavy Industries" in the Ursus Empire, and now he was preparing to register a new research institute in Lungmen.

The name will be "Human Foundation History Research Institute," or BOARD for short. This is more in line with his identity as a "player scholar" and "Fourth Calamity researcher."

The fact that the player was also named "Undead" by him seems to make even more sense.

Well, actually, Bai Ye originally wanted to call it "Protective Umbrella Company", but there was already a "Beach Umbrella Company" on Terra, and even the company logo was similar, so Bai Ye didn't want to continue to piggyback on that.

-------------------------------------

After packing her things, Bai Ye returned to Rhodes Island.

He originally wanted to find Dr. Kal'tsit, but when he arrived, he was told that Dr. Kal'tsit had left Rhodes Island two days ago.

Bai Ye knew that Kal'tsit wouldn't always stay on the Rhodes Island main ship; she also had a habit of wandering around and would occasionally bring infected people back to Rhodes Island.

As far as White Night knows, the elite operator Rosmontis was brought back from a laboratory in Columbia by Dr. Kal'tsit.

"PRTS, do you know where Dr. Kal'tsit is?"

Bai Ye tentatively asked Rhodes Island's PRTS.

"Reported locations: Colombia, Letania, Iberia."

Perhaps it's because I've reached the required permissions, or perhaps Dr. Kal'tsit didn't encrypt anything; in any case, PRTS answers every question.

“Iberia? Where is she going and what is she doing?... That's strange.”

Bai Ye frowned; he didn't particularly like Iberia.

He loved the sea, but not the sea of ​​Terra, because it harbored some truly disgusting enemies. In his past life, Bai Ye preferred fighting demons to facing the deep sea.

However, he is still trying to accept the sea, after all, Skadi comes from there, it is her hometown.

"It's a pity we missed it. Let's talk about it next time." Bai Ye originally wanted to discuss his research paper with Dr. Kal'tsit, but now it seems there won't be a chance.

Bai Ye stayed another night on Rhodes Island and took the opportunity to visit Miss Misha in the medical department.

Misha is Sergei's daughter and Alex's sister, also known as Shattered Bones.

After testing by Rhodes Island, she was found to possess considerable talent in Originium Arts, especially in the control of Originium explosives, which can be described as exceptional.

However, the girl ultimately chose to become a medical operator.

She became another student of Dr. Kal'tsit, and a junior sister of Operators Aya and Anto.

Bai Ye didn't actually know many people on Rhodes Island, just a few, so he would go back to visit these friends every time he returned.

Miss Misha is naturally included as well.

"...Mr. Baiye, how is my father?"

Bai Ye and Misha chatted for a while, and then Misha hesitated before asking the question.

Actually, the two of them had never talked about this before.

Bai Ye wouldn't bring it up on her own initiative, and Misha hadn't asked either.

"..." Bai Ye paused for a moment, then slowly said, "Your father made mistakes for the sake of his family in the past, and now he also wants to find an opportunity to make amends."

“You and Alex are safe. He has nothing to fear or worry about now.”

After a pause, Bai Ye continued, "I will do everything I can to ensure his safety."

“Is that so…” Misha lowered her head.

She then took a teddy bear from a drawer and handed it to Bai Ye.

"Mr. Baiye, could you please deliver this to my father for me?"

Bai Ye gently took the teddy bear.

"Did you make this?" Bai Ye looked at the somewhat crudely made doll.

“Yes, this is… something my mother taught me.” Misha looked at the doll she had made and said softly, “This is a talisman. My mother said that a doll made by hand can ensure the safety of important people.”

“Last time, I gave one of the plush toys to Alex, and I want to give the other one to my father.”

Bai Ye looked at the doll in her hand and slowly nodded: "I understand, I will send it over."

"Don't worry, I'm a messenger. This will definitely reach Mr. Sergei."

With that, Bai Ye put the teddy bear away.

“Thank you, Mr. Baiye.” Misha’s eyes suddenly welled up with tears. “My brother has become an infected person and is fighting for his compatriots; my father also has his own mission to complete. Only I am here in this safe place, watching them go to their own battlefield.”

"As expected, I'm still too cowardly and can't do anything. I'm useless in critical moments; all I can do is run away."

Bai Ye suddenly realized: "Is this your reason for not choosing to become a combat operator?"

“Yes, I ran away.” Misha nodded.

"It's not only those who face the enemy head-on who can be called warriors. I think you will find your own path."

Bai Ye smiled and comforted him.

……

"So you can talk too... 'It's not only those who face the enemy head-on who can be called warriors...'"

As Bai Ye stepped out of the room, he heard a familiar girl's voice.

Turning around, I saw it was indeed my own little assistant, the typist.

"Aren't you angry anymore?" Bai Ye asked with a smile, looking at the doll in his hand.

"I'm not angry... By the way, you don't attend the parties either, and every time you come back to the main ship you just come back to see these people?"

"Apart from the senior management, no one else in the department has ever seen you, the department head."

"The other operators on Rhodes Island don't know you either."

Typing Girl reverted to her original self, rambling on about Bai Ye's faults.

Perhaps because of PRTS's help, she had more free time and started to care about other random things.

Chapter Thirty-Three: The White Night Belongs to Everyone

In the end, Bai Ye did not take Typing Princess's suggestion to make more friends with Rhodes Island operators.

He wasn't good at these kinds of social activities; he was rather passive. Apart from initially reaching out to Reunion Movement for business cooperation, he was passively acquainted with everyone else.

Secondly, he has a lot of things to do right now and doesn't have any extra time.

"Hey, you... never mind, I'll help you contact the elite operator team. As a field operations department, we still need to maintain good relations with them. After all, if your subordinates encounter danger outside, they'll need these frontline operators to rescue them."

Since her supervisor wasn't good at this kind of thing, the typist, as the assistant, had no choice but to do it herself.

Anyway, the supervisor is rarely on the Rhodes Island main ship, so this is a pretty good excuse.

"So you would actually do something like this on your own initiative. I thought you hated me..." Bai Ye's eyes widened.

This girl usually acts like "this is so troublesome" and "this is so tiring," but I never expected her to offer to help today.

"Who...who said I hate you...how could that be?" The typist first frantically waved her hands, like windshield wipers.

"Cough cough..." Then the girl seemed to realize that she had been too excited, and she stopped her strange movements with a blush on her face.

Typing Girl looked at Bai Ye and said softly, "I just feel that it's not good to just leave you like this. You're always causing trouble and never give me any peace of mind."

After a pause, the girl lowered her head slightly and added, "I didn't mean anything by it, don't overthink it."

Bai Ye nodded and said with a smile, "I understand."

"Tsk, stop laughing." The typist was annoyed and embarrassed.

"By the way, how come I've never seen your Guardian Gun before?" Bai Ye changed the subject.

However, it was clear that Bai Ye had chosen the wrong topic, and the girl's expression immediately dimmed upon hearing Bai Ye's question.

"I put it away..."

The girl wanted to continue speaking, but Bai Ye reached out and stopped her.

"Let's talk about it next time. I don't have any wine on me right now, and I can't listen to your story."

"What country's custom is this?" Typing Girl muttered, then stood on tiptoe and patted Bai Ye's shoulder, pretending to be nonchalant. "Well, don't worry, it's nothing serious."

"If you really care about me, please give me less work..."

"Well, we'll see..."
