Reincarnation NPC, but Arknights

With that, Talulah earnestly pleaded, "Please."

"Don't worry, I also hope Patriot lives. That old guy is very powerful, and his death would be a loss."

"And Miss Frostnova too. This kind of Originium Arts is so rare, it's practically a miracle. It's such a pity she died."

"Keep being stubborn." Talulah had long seen through Bai Ye's thoughts; this kind of talk wouldn't fool her.

Frostnova, who was listening to their conversation, smiled.

To be honest, she wasn't quite used to it. All along, she had been pushing herself to the limit, squeezing out as much power as possible from the depths of her body to fight.

This is how the Reunion Movement survives: they use sacrifice to buy time and space for those infected.

Treatment? The future? She had never thought about these things.

“Let’s give it a try, another path.” Bai Ye looked at the suffering on this land. “Mr. Patriot is right. We must first increase our own strength before we talk about ideals and fight against fate.”

“So, we choose to cooperate with you.” Talulah patted White Night on the shoulder. “You have brought us new choices and hope.”

"Perhaps, this will give us a better chance."

"It's a pleasure to cooperate with you." Bai Ye extended his hand. "May your courage, my sword, and our respective missions be with the sun."

"Yes, for our respective missions."

Talulah took White Night's hand.

As Bai Ye felt the burning heat of the girl's palm, he suddenly felt another pair of cold hands cover him.

After the ice and fire were neutralized, there was no discomfort.

"The fate of the Reunion Movement now rests on your shoulders," Frostnova said.

"I'm not that noble; I'm just after the profits." Bai Ye tried to pull his hand away.

"Heh, let's just say that's how it is." The two girls held Bai Ye's hands tightly, preventing him from escaping.

"..."

Not far away, Patriot stood quietly, snowflakes falling on his tattered armor.

He did not agree with Talulah at first.

But later, he saw the great side in Talulah. Talulah did not execute the infected who deserted the group because they had not sworn allegiance to her; they were merely infected who had traveled the same path.

Talulah doesn't want an army of infected; she wants to unite more infected through the ideals of the Reunion Movement. Executing those who leave the group might seem to purify Team Five, but it would only push potential allies towards the enemy, and the number of people standing together would actually decrease.

Therefore, the Patriots are willing to serve Talulah.

Now, he witnessed Talulah's growth.

Team Five's purity could be achieved through ideological work, so Talulah recommended Alina; however, ideals need to be supported by reality, so they chose to cooperate with White Night.

Perhaps, this time, we really can go far enough…

For the first time, something called hope arose in the hearts of patriots.

He had wandered this land for too long, and had long since given up on such a near-extravagant hope.

However, when he saw the young people standing together in the distance, he couldn't help but imagine...

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

"Are you sure your channels are all in order?" Talulah asked curiously. "The border crossings are controlled by the military, and there are also those nobles. Can you really manage that?"

Talulah was adopted by the Black Serpent, so she naturally knows these things very well.

Bai Ye himself was also somewhat puzzled: "It's strange... Our company registration in Ursus went through smoothly, with no obstacles along the way. Moreover, we have our own green channel, and our regulatory body seems to be directly under the upper echelons of the Empire. No one else has the right to question us or conduct searches..."

Simply put, even if Bai Ye directly transports the ore out, no one can stop him, search him, or stop him.

"Perhaps, this is just luck..." Bai Ye finished the hot drinks that Talulah and Frostnova had given him, shrugged and smiled.

……

Nighttime, Longmen.

Chief Executive's Office.

Wei Yanwu, the administrative head of Longmen and a powerful figure with true dragon blood, sat at his desk.

Before him lay a telegram delivered by a messenger, as well as information about Bai Ye.

Both "Northern Cross" and the newly registered shell company "Namba Heavy Industries" in Ursus are listed in the documents.

This also includes Rhode Island.

"Adams' granddaughter, that old, sickly tiger, isn't bad either... and Chen Huijie, she's finally grown up a bit..."

Wei Yanwu actually laughed; this man rarely laughed genuinely.

"So, you helped them?" A gentle female voice sounded from the side. It was Wei Yanwu's first wife, Madam Wenyue.

“Help? No, I just had a talk with Speaker Witt and discussed a deal,” Wei Yanwu said stubbornly, though a smile remained on his face.

In fact, Swire's messenger had already set off before the letter was sent.

Wei Yanwu's methods were naturally far superior to Shi Huaiya's. Before the situation escalated to a certain extent and before the Ursus frontier military was in a state of dormancy, his messengers could move freely across the land.

He could use military radio base stations to accelerate the flow of intelligence.

Therefore, Wei Yanwu's messenger reached Speaker Witte earlier than Swire's application.

After that, things were simple. The two bigwigs reached a consensus, and things went very smoothly for the younger generation.

It wasn't luck, but rather the identities of Chen Huijie, Swire, and Talulah.

Their bloodline determines that they are born extraordinary.

"Ore is a strategic material, how could he agree to send source stone ore out of the country..." Madam Wenyue couldn't help but feel puzzled.

"How much ore can a company send out in a year?" Wei Yanwu shook his head. "Does Ursus lack ore? No."

"The Ursus Empire possesses abundant mineral resources, but these are concentrated in the hands of the frontier military and nobles."

“Our Speaker clearly has a better option than to continue allowing these parasites to line their own pockets.”

Lady Wenyue nodded, then said, "Hmph, you just won't admit it... You're smiling more happily than anyone else."

“I miss Xiaota. Her face looks so much like your sister's, but her eyes are like Edward's. I don't know who she got her temper from when she was little... So many years have passed, I haven't seen her for so many years.”

"..."

“We owe her all of this. You must think so too, and you’re trying to make it up to her.”

"No, I was just talking..."

"Stop talking. We all understand." Madam Wenyue stepped forward and covered Wei Yanwu's mouth.

Old Wei closed his eyes.

Yes, it goes without saying.

He owes them, his sister, Edward, Little Tower...

When he swung his sword down from the Crimson Sky, the blood of the Red Dragon splattered onto his robes.

Is it really just about national interests?

Only he knows the truth.

……

Suddenly, he heard his wife say beside him, "Is this... Bai Ye? What a handsome young man."

He opened his eyes and saw Madam Wenyue browsing through the information on the terminal.

Even in his ID photo, the boy's handsomeness is undeniable.

"Hmph, a guy of unknown origin." Wei Yanwu narrowed his eyes.

Even if someone covered up the anomalies in the database, there were still some things he knew perfectly well. He just didn't say anything.

"Do you think he's from Yan, or somewhere else?" Madam Wenyue asked with interest. "Perhaps we should thank him properly for helping Xiao Chen and Xiao Ta."

"I never expected that such a young man could accomplish what we couldn't."

Wei Yanwu: ...

To be honest, Lao Wei was a little angry.

He took the terminal from Wen Yue's hand.

"Oh? Are you unhappy?" Madam Wenyue covered her mouth and chuckled. "Little Ta and Little Chen have grown up too..."

She meant something.

"Hmph!" Wei Yanwu snorted coldly.

Although Chen Huijie and Talulah are not his daughters, they hold a place in his heart that is close to, or even surpasses, that of his daughters.

Old Wei was naturally not happy that a young man of unknown origin had suddenly approached his two "daughters".

“He definitely has ulterior motives.” Wei Yanwu held his pipe, looking at Bai Ye’s photo in the documents.

Although he was very handsome, no less so than when he was young (??), he couldn't help but want to unleash a Crimson Sky Sword Technique on Bai Ye's face...

"Let's just leave it at that. Anyway, I'll go see him when I have the chance," Madam Wenyue said with a smile.

"no!"

"Then go and see for yourself. Oh, and not just this White Night, you should also go and see the Little Tower."

"Impossible. The officers of Lungmen would never have anything to do with an infected organization. Besides, they are part of the Reunion Movement, and the Ursus army is trying to wipe them out." Wei Yanwu refused without even thinking.

"You're so stingy. I'll go by myself then. Don't stop me." Madam Wenyue's aura was imposing.

"..." Wei Yanwu suddenly felt inferior in front of the lady. "Then... whatever you say. Remember to take the ninjas with you before you leave."

Lady Wenyue left satisfied.

Wei Yanwu, however, stared at Talulah in the documents and fell into deep thought.

"Kosich, it seems your plan isn't perfect either."

"On this land, miracles will always happen. Although we cannot place our hopes on them, these unexpected events are precisely what makes fate so fascinating."

"Let's wait and see if your plan will succeed, or if our successors will prove to be stronger."

"Now, we're in the lead..."

Wei Yanwu stood up and walked to the intact transparent window.

His gaze seemed to drift very far away...

Chapter 43 Kal'tsit's Death from Anger

(Fun fact: Patriot's throat was already damaged when he was exiling the Infected. His fluent speech in the early stages refers to his time in the Ursus army.)

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

If the Ursus Empire possessed a civilization simulator, it would become incredibly powerful, given its vast tundra and the "Aurora Dance," which could potentially create a nuclear-powered holy land.

Unfortunately, in reality, this place is very barren, the land cannot grow much food, and the infected patrol force extorts and levies taxes, making it unsuitable for survival.

Although the vast permafrost region is rich in mineral resources, the harsh climate and the year-round snow cover caused by the Sami cold front make it unsuitable for development.

In the past, many mobile cities were built here based on the mineral resources, but they were all demolished by the royalists during the rebellion a few years ago.

All that remained was the empty shell of the mobile city and the army entrenched within it.

The mines also became resources belonging to the military. Infected people or persecuted civilians were brought in to mine, becoming part of the various tragedies on the frozen ground.

"The Reunification Movement is preparing to leave the permafrost and head south, and Chernobog is their target, so we need to plan ahead."

Inside the tent, Bai Ye opened the map.

Although he didn't know why Swire's plans in Ursus were going so smoothly, he didn't need to delve into it; he could simply continue with his plans.

Having established a complete cooperation agreement, his trip to Ursus is nearing its end. His focus will now shift to this, as players are about to log in.

Rather than Columbia, Letania, and Victoria, White Night decided to pursue his plans in Lungmen, which he was most familiar with, and Ursus, where he had partners.

Furthermore, Lungmen and Ursus are not far apart, making it relatively convenient for players to move between them. More importantly, in a future version, Kazimierz will also become one of the new login locations for players.

This is the more crucial part, because Baiye can build player PVP arenas in advance within it.
