Rhode Island Park Project

The doctor once again proved with facts that his trustworthy statement was correct.

The only imperfection is,

Probably in order to save her, the Doctor ended up being the one who got hurt.

……

"They've already run away."

"Those damn bastards! Where did they get rockets and launchers of this size?! A medical enterprise, huh? Chernobog doesn't have any defense facilities at all?!"

The white-haired boy in a white uniform roared and growled with a gloomy expression.

"Calm down, Mephisto. Chernobog's defenses are already in disarray. As for the automated ones, I'm afraid their weapons won't be that easy to deal with."

Mephistopheles took a deep breath.

"I really should calm down, Faust."

He looked at the dark-haired boy in front of him, holding a crossbow with a calm expression. "I failed Sister Tallulah's expectations, but you shot that guy, right? I've heard from the team that you did a great job, Faust."

Faust did not show any joy at this praise, but frowned hesitantly.

"What are you thinking?"

Mephistopheles noticed something strange about his friend.

"He must have noticed me... He glanced at me before I shot..."

Faust spoke hesitantly.

"But you still shot him."

Mephisto said firmly, "Even if we discovered it in advance, it doesn't mean we can avoid your crossbow. Sister Tallulah and the others will remember your deeds!"

When everyone was in low spirits due to heavy losses from the enemy's sudden attack, Faust achieved the only result!

"..."

Faust made no reply.

……Is it really?

He unconsciously looked in the direction where those people left.

Luo Hang, who only had a scratch on his arm, was still sitting in the back seat of the car, receiving the bandage personally from Amiya. He also quietly shifted his gaze away from the light screen in the corner of his vision.

[Increase of Operator Trust]

Of course it is.

Chapter 9: Lin Guang & Natalia

"Doctor, we're here! Second rendezvous point!"

The convoy stopped in an unremarkable neighborhood.

Luo Hang got out of the car with the caring help of Amiya. The first thing he saw was a Kuranta woman who came towards him. She was wearing full metal armor that made people feel very safe and her golden hair was as dazzling as flowing light.

"It seems your journey here was not easy."

Her eyes swept over the dusty group of people, especially lingering on the bandage on Luo Hang's arm, and the woman who came in front of them said so.

"It's because I..."

Du Bin showed an expression of self-blame on his face, but was interrupted by Luo Hang.

"It's just a little accident that you don't need to worry about."

He smiled at the newcomer in front of him, who wasn't too unfamiliar. "Would you like to introduce yourself to me?"

"what,"

The ears on Amiya's little head twitched. The woman in front of them had already extended her hand in a friendly manner and began to introduce herself:

"I'm Lin Guang, the captain of the E4 action team. I've heard from Amiya and many others about you, Doctor."

"I hope they didn't say anything bad about me."

Luo Hang smiled and raised his hand to shake hands with Lin Guang in front of him.

His injured arm was his right arm, while Lin Guang in front of him took the initiative to extend his left hand.

Although it was just an imperceptible detail, he had some understanding of the knight lady in front of him.

"The doctor is understating it. If it weren't for the doctor, we might not even have seen you."

ACE on the side said with a wry smile.

Lin Guang was stunned.

She may not be able to judge Luo Hang when they first met, but ACE's words will not be easily ignored in front of anyone who is familiar with him.

"Even you can't deal with it?"

"We encountered the leader of the Reunion... He was a truly terrifying guy."

Lin Guang fell silent, while Luo Hang glanced at ACE who suddenly spoke.

He understood that ACE was also helping him establish his authority in front of the new operators, so he didn't say much out of modesty, but simply shifted the topic to business.

"How are the preparations for the evacuation going?"

After hearing Luo Hang's words, Lin Guang quickly came back to his senses.

"The evacuation route has been cleared. We are currently accommodating nearby refugees and will be able to depart soon."

In fact, although they rushed all the way to get rid of Tallulah, time was actually quite tight.

However, Luo Hang did not mention this matter at all. Instead, he smiled and turned his head away.

"It just so happens that our team has worked hard enough to break through. Let's just rest here for a few minutes."

"I'll go set up the sentry post."

Dubin muttered something and turned to walk towards the other side of the team.

Lin Guang looked at Du Bin's departing back in some surprise.

Based on her understanding of Doberman, Doberman should have said a few more words at this time, but he just accepted it after the doctor spoke?

She looked thoughtfully at Luo Hang, who was smiling peacefully in front of her. Thinking about what ACE had said, her impression of this doctor became even more profound.

However, no matter what, it is a happy thing for her to be able to help them settle the refugees they received.

At this point, she actually had a good impression of the doctor.

The doctor who is recognized by Amiya and so many people can indeed understand her ideas.

……

Under Lin Guang's leadership, Luo Hang and his team entered the temporary base established by the E4 team. Some operators wearing Rhodes Island uniforms were explaining the knowledge of war survival and escape routes to the gathered civilians. A small number of wounded were being bandaged and treated by medical operators.

Most people's faces were still filled with fear and confusion at this time.

The peaceful life was broken overnight, and the city where we lived suddenly turned into a battlefield. Even though we had experienced unspeakable disasters, this was still not a reality that could be easily accepted.

However, among these people, there were a few who seemed to be a small group and attracted Luo Hang's attention.

It's an acquaintance...

and,

Luo Hang's gaze unconsciously fell on the exaggerated weapon that was almost as tall as a person and was next to the young and slim girl.

The other people around were obviously also afraid of that thing. Even though there was not enough space, it still clearly separated the young girls from the crowd.

"Those are a few students. The siege cannon is so damaged it's unusable. Doctor, you don't have to worry about it causing any harm."

Lin Guang had obviously figured out the situation long ago. Noticing Luo Hang's gaze, he lowered his voice slightly and explained.

However, in such an environment, the sudden arrival of a group of people was already eye-catching enough, and Luo Hang and his group also attracted the attention of several girls.

He even saw a girl with a very bad taste curl her lips slightly when she saw him and Lin Guang who was explaining beside her.

"Natalia Andreyevna Rostova?"

The girl standing next to the conspicuous city-breaking cannon was stunned for a moment. Facing Luo Hang and his group who had stopped, she still stood up straight and politely even though she looked particularly embarrassed.

"You know me?"

She could see that the man who called out her name was not only standing in the middle of everyone, but even the captain of the team that took them in was only accompanying him on the side.

"To be precise, I knew your father and grandfather."

Luo Hang said slowly, "Count Rostov helped me a lot. If you knew how the Silver Wing series launched by your shipyard came about, you would understand what kind of deal I reached with your elders."

In order for him to lie in the sarcophagus of Chernobyl's most important energy supply core, it was natural that he had to open up some channels. Count Rostov and the mayor, Marquis Boris, who belonged to the same family, were the more important ones among them.

He quietly looked at the Ursus girl in front of him, who looked disheveled and haggard, but still couldn't hide her outstanding temperament and beauty.

"I have warned your elders about certain things, but it seems they didn't take it seriously."

"..."

Natalia opened her mouth, but finally coughed weakly a few times and smiled bitterly.

"I am very grateful for your warning, sir, but now all I can do is apologize to you on behalf of my father and grandfather."

Although it may not be obvious from her temperament and figure, Natalia is indeed still just a high school student.

Even now, she couldn't have any influence on the affairs of the family, let alone a long time ago.

Even the Silver Wing series that Luo Hang mentioned, she had only heard a few words about it inadvertently from her excited elders at home, and she was asked not to disclose it to anyone else.

"I have not yet fallen to the point of questioning a young man in distress,"

Luo Hang glanced at the other girls who seemed a little indignant about the treatment of their companions, or rather the conspicuous bad boy, and then looked at Natalia in front of him again.

"After all, your elders and I are acquaintances. If you don't mind facing the mob's Molotov cocktails and crossbows, I can provide you with a temporary place to stay.

You can always come see me before we leave."

Chapter 10: Discussion between Girls

The refugees around watched all this with indifference.

Luo Hang and the others entered a room further inside. No one spoke to the girls who looked hesitant, and no one asked to evacuate with the team.

It’s not that no one has thought about it, but after someone raised this issue, Miss Lin Guang, the captain, gave a clear response.

They were not an army, nor an official rescue team, and they did not have enough power to guarantee the safety of others during the evacuation. Evacuating with them meant taking up arms and fighting together.

This one request alone has silenced those who have been driven out of peace and forced to face violence and war.

Arguments, accusations, prayers, everything had happened in this small place, but in the end, all that was left was powerless and exhausted silence.

Most people would rather believe that the Ursus army will soon come to rescue the city. Compared to a company of unknown origin, people are always more willing to trust their own country... This is as it should be.

"We can't wait for the army."

Natalia whispered to her companions, "If the army could have come, we would have heard the number of the army group responsible for this incident on the radio and seen the army group commander speaking in front of everyone on TV.

The nobles associated with this army will be eager to show their faces in public. The fact that we haven't seen them yet can only mean that there is no such army coming to Chernobyl or about to come."

"As expected of the Earl's eldest daughter."

Sonya, the bad girl who had been the focus of Luo Hang's attention, responded without much emotion.

The high school girl has a few striking red highlights on her brown hair and a leather collar with a metal buckle around her youthful neck. At first glance, you can tell that she has a bad aura that doesn't belong to a good student.

These words coming out of Sonya's mouth should have been mocking the noble lady, but at this moment, apart from calm, no waves were caused among the girls who had been traveling together for a long time.

"So, are you going to accept that person's invitation?"
