Chapter 52: Chapter 52: Situation
Finally, with a little reminder from Griseo, Yelena quickly understood the current situation and then found a few Yetis to start deploying the plan.
Then, in order to protect these infected people and guard against the enemy's reconnaissance team, FrostNova ordered a large number of infected people in the mine to squeeze into the building and not stay outside.
As soon as this order was issued, the huge mine area soon became empty... It looked a bit deserted.
But there was no other way. These newly rescued infected people were more or less injured and weak.
If they stayed outside, they would not only be easily exposed and hurt but also be a bit of a drag.
"..."
Looking at the empty mine and the few busy Yetis, Griseo's eyes flickered.
But to be honest, the little loli felt pretty good now. After all, the people who liked to stare at her had temporarily disappeared... and there was no turbid color.
————————————————
One of the official temporary camps——
"…"
A pink figure stood silently in front of the camp, looking at the corpses scattered all over the ground, her eyes under the mask filled with complex emotions.
Then, as before, she reached out and took out a dozen forget-me-nots, letting them drift to the ground with the cold wind and snowflakes.
After doing all this, Sakura put away the complexity in her eyes and left quickly. Time waits for no one, and there is another side waiting for her to solve.
However, through the killing just now, she began to want to get the [Seven Thunders of Retribution] as soon as possible, because she was afraid that if she continued to kill without restraint, it might affect her.
And the [Seven Thunders of Retribution], the Divine Key, can protect Sakura in this regard in a sense, and even reduce the time of carnage.
Of course, it is not the Divine Key itself that is special. What plays a role in protecting Sakura is the Discipline, which is issued by Aponia specifically to protect and restrict her.
Sakura can now be sure that her body has the Disciplines. As for the basis, it is because she has no memory of "Sakura" killing people.
However, she doesn't know whether this part of the murder memory is sealed on the [Seven Thunders of Retribution] given by the system. But she thinks it is still very likely.
Of course, if it is not sealed on it, the impact on Sakura is not very big. It is just equivalent to losing part of the murder memory.
——————————————————
As time passed, the team, braving the cold wind and snow, had arrived at the outskirts of the woods in a mighty manner.
Then they sent people to investigate and confirmed that there was no ambush inside. Patriot turned his head and said to the people behind him: "Be careful... guard, we... are about to... enter the woods..."
"Yes!"
After hearing Patriot's words, the Shieldguards behind him responded in a deep voice.
Hearing this, the scarlet light in Patriot's eyes flashed, and then he led the team into the woods without hesitation.
In fact, The Driver had tried to tell Patriot long before that it would be no problem to enter the woods in this direction if he moved faster.
At most, he would encounter the enemy's advance troops.
However, Patriot did not directly adopt this piece of information, not because of arrogance, but simply because of distrust. He did not want to entrust the lives of many comrades and infected people to something created by a child.
Moreover, in order to pick up his daughter and a large number of newly rescued infected people, Patriot also brought most of the Shieldguards with him on this operation.
These Shieldguards have always been his old comrades who have accompanied him in battles. Although these people, including Patriot, are not afraid of dying in battle, because of this, he does not want to have such negligence. If his comrades died in battle because he believed in other people's information, then in Patriot's view, this is a shame and an insult to his comrades.
Griseo naturally knew about this matter through her sister, the Driver, but apart from feeling a little helpless, she didn't care too much.
Even from the beginning, she didn't count these people as part of her combat power.
Of course, this was not because of Griseo's contempt for others, but simply because there was no need. Since Sakura could handle it alone, there was no need for others to intervene.
Also, the little Lolita had decided on the candidate for the "guardian," and that was Sakura.
As for why she didn't choose Snake, the reason was very simple: because it was troublesome.
In this case, no matter how you look at it, it is most appropriate to choose Sakura, who is performing a special mission, to be the guardian.
After all, if Snake comes out, he can't attack the enemy... Just empty words have no deterrent power at all.
The bargaining chips during "negotiation" and "exchange" are still very important.
"Woo..."
Thinking, Griseo gently raised her head, staring blankly at the sky, letting large flakes of snow fall on her forehead.
Then, until the snow was getting heavier, the little girl withdrew her sight and walked away with a small layer of white frost on her head.
Although she was not afraid of the cold, she also felt that the cool snow was fun. However, it was snowing so heavily and the wind was blowing... If she continued to stay outside, she would look a little silly.
So with this time, Griseo thought it would be better to go back to Alyona to sleep, or continue to tell stories.
After all, she is just a child now, a child who doesn't care about things and can't intervene, right? It's better to leave complicated things to adults.
...
Back at the door of the warehouse, Griseo pulled down her red hood, shook her small body gently, and shook off all the snowflakes on her body before pushing the door open and walking into the warehouse.
After entering, she discovered the "abnormality" in the warehouse at this moment.
At some point, several infected had been set up in the warehouse with a relatively large space, and many old, young, women and children were crowded inside.
When Griseo came in, everyone's eyes were focused on her.
Although she was surprised for a moment, the little girl's expression did not change after she reacted. She just silently looked for Alyona and the Yetis.
"Here..."
