Chapter 53: Chapter 53: Yeti Hunting
"Here..."
After hearing the familiar voice, Griseo turned her head to look at a corner, and then saw the figures of Alyona and the other two Yetis.
"..."
Without any hesitation, Griseo walked over.
"Where did you go, little Griseo? It's snowing so heavily outside," Lois said helplessly as the little girl approached.
Griseo did not hide her itinerary and explained in a low voice, "I just went to find Sister Yelena..."
"Oh, that's it."
Lois nodded first and then, after glancing at the other infected people in the warehouse, gently leaned into the little girl's ear and asked, "So, did you notice any danger and then notify the eldest sister?"
Obviously, Lois and Leos, the two Yetis staying in the warehouse, had also received the notification from the eldest sister.
"Well... but the problem is not big." Griseo nodded gently and admitted it.
"That's good. Okay, don't say so much. Although you are not afraid of the cold, let's warm up by the fire." Lois stood up with a smile and pulled the little girl to sit next to Alyona.
"Yeah." Griseo did not resist at all and sat down next to her partner obediently. Then she quietly enjoyed the warmth from the fire in front of her.
However, Lois, who stood up, did not sit down in a hurry. Instead, she walked around the warehouse to patrol. She and Leos needed to ensure that nothing was missing in the warehouse.
In fact, if there was no place to accommodate people, Yelena would never arrange for these infected people to stay in a warehouse. Even now, the people arranged in the warehouse were only some weak old and weak women and children, and no strong infected people. After all, there were a lot of supplies and even many weapons here. If someone robbed it, conflicts and troubles could arise, especially now that the Yeti Squadron was short of manpower.
"..."
Looking at Lois's back, Griseo was stunned for a moment, and then a flash of understanding appeared in her big violet eyes.
In fact, the little girl had thought about this possibility before... It was precisely because of this that she almost always chose to stay in the warehouse with the other three people to prevent this possibility.
This is also one of the reasons why Griseo was surprised when she saw so many people just now.
But she quickly thought it might be because there was not enough space... So Yelena was forced to arrange it this way.
After all, at a glance, they were all old, weak, women, and children, and the reason was obvious.
"Ah~"
However, before Griseo could continue to think, the third yawn at noon today interrupted her directly, causing her beautiful big eyes to be filled with crystal mist again.
"Are you sleepy? Then come to my arms and sleep for a while..."
After seeing Griseo yawn, Alyona, who was sitting next to her, blinked her light green eyes and smiled.
Then she opened her warm arms to the little girl.
Hearing this, Griseo did not rush to get close to her but tilted her head slightly and asked softly, "What about Alyona?"
"It's okay, I dozed off just when you went out, and now I'm very energetic." Alyona patted her slender legs, and the meaning was self-evident.
"Okay then..."
Although she agreed, Griseo did not nestle in her arms directly as Alyona hoped. Instead, she gently leaned on her shoulder, just like last night.
"Good afternoon..."
Looking at Griseo, who closed her eyes not long after, Alyona's eyes flickered and she smiled. Then she hesitated for a moment, stretched out her hand, and gently stroked the little girl's sky-blue hair.
——————————————————————
Because she was reminded in advance by Griseo, Yelena, who was well-prepared, waited quietly and explored carefully.
Soon, some clues were found around the mine, which directly confirmed the matter of the scout team mentioned by the little girl.
After realizing that the other party was not very large in number, FrostNova was now planning to take the Yetis to kill them...
After all, once the reconnaissance team was released, they might soon bring a large number of enemies to besiege.
So, in order to delay time and slow down the enemy's actions, FrostNova would never allow this team to go back alive.
Since the decision had been made, Yelena acted swiftly. After contacting several Yetis in private and forming a small team, they left the mine quietly and chased the prey that had already scouted the intelligence and left.
As for why they didn't start the attack when this team was scouting, the reason is very simple: because the enemy dispersed after approaching the mine. The Yeti Squadron didn't have enough manpower.
If one of them alerted the enemy and accidentally missed one or two, it would be over, and this operation would become meaningless.
So, FrostNova chose this method, following the traces from a distance, waiting for these people to regroup, and then killing them in one fell swoop.
...
Griseo noticed Yelena's departure, as Tyrant and Lady were still outside.
However, the little girl didn't intend to stop her... because there was no reasonable reason.
If it were usual, Griseo might have stopped Yelena long ago, or acted before her... But this time, there were annoying task restrictions so she couldn't do it.
However, the little girl was not very worried, because she felt that Sakura was coming here soon.
So although "Griseo" couldn't protect Yelena, if Sakura could, it wouldn't make much difference.
However, because of this incident, Sakura's original random processing order became fixed, pointing directly to the advance team.
"Hmm..."
Thinking, Griseo hummed softly and then subconsciously rubbed Alyona's shoulder gently.
