People are in Arknights and becoming Griseo at the beginning

However, just as Sakura was moving forward cautiously, the information from Griseo stunned her and slowed her down considerably.

The little loli had just informed her that the enemy force the Tyrant had been watching gave up their new round of probing and started to move forward.

Patriot were getting closer to Sakura. It wouldn't take long for the two to collide.

If possible, Sakura didn't want the two sides to collide at all. She just wanted to quietly and silently eliminate the enemy, earn her reward, and protect her friends.

You know, Patriot are still difficult to deal with, in various senses.

It was still unknown whether there were any Emperor's Blades among this wave of enemies. Based on common sense, Sakura thought it was unlikely. After all, why would the Emperor's Blades bother with this small matter?

But the system had arranged this task, so there was some doubt. Of course, it is possible she was overthinking.

"Alas..."

After a light sigh, Sakura exerted force on her feet and increased her speed again...

"Stop... there are... enemies... ahead!"

Patriot, who was at the front of the team, suddenly stopped, looked at the hazy figures in the distance, and issued an order in his hoarse voice. The team also stopped with his order, and everyone prepared for battle. The shield guards behind him stepped forward and stood with Patriot, at the front of the team in a defensive state.

When Patriot discovered the other side, the other side naturally discovered the situation here and also entered a defensive state...

For a while, both sides quietly observed the identity of the other.

However, this harmony did not last too long.

Suddenly, a pink figure attacked the official team without any scruples and continued to harvest lives. Almost a group of people fell...

The team was completely confused by Sakura's disturbance. Some tried to fight back with weapons, while others used the Arts. In the end, it was chaos, and no one could hit the attacking killer.

However, there were two reasons why Sakura dared to be so reckless. First, through her observation, she confirmed there were no enemies of the standard of the inner guards in the team. Second, if she waited any longer, Patriot would rush up. To help Reunion reduce losses, she chose to strike first.

After noticing the situation on the opposite side, the red light in Patriot's eyes flashed. He did not choose to act rashly but kept his troops still while analyzing the situation in front of him.

In his opinion, these teams were likely sent by the government side to deal with the mine incident and suppress the infected.

The figure killing people in the team and harvesting heads quickly was unfamiliar to Patriot, but this did not prevent him from feeling a little fear in his heart.

After all, although there was a distance, he could still see Sakura's agile figure and feel the sharp killing intent.

After Sakura quickly killed nearly half the people and their leader, the team completely collapsed. Many timid people already had thoughts of retreating, and some had even begun to act on them.

However, Sakura was faster than them...

Once again, the gushing scarlet dyed the pure white silver frost, and large patches of blood flowers bloomed.

Patriot, who witnessed everything not far away, did not stop it but watched and guarded against Sakura to prevent her from rushing over here and hurting his people.

However, after dealing with all the enemies, Sakura did not even glance at Patriot. She just stood there quietly, looking at the corpses on the ground with complicated eyes.

"Huh..."

After exhaling lightly, Sakura calmed down and put the ordinary long sword in her hand into the system space.

Then she grasped a beautiful sword with a lavender glow in the air, and it suddenly appeared in her hand.

[Seven Thunders of Retribution·Rumble] is the current name of the Seven Thunders of Retribution in the form of a sword. Of course, this form also has an over-limit state, called [Seven Thunders of Purification·Narukami].

However, since it wasn't necessary, Ying did not intend to show the over-limit state.

Now, she took out this Divine Key to see if it contained the memory of "Sakura"'s Killings.

"Shua——"

As the sword slowly came out of its sheath, many memories of murder suddenly appeared in front of Sakura's eyes. Looking at these memories, she felt a lot of pressure in her heart for a while.

Then, after the pressure in her heart reached a certain level, she stopped drawing the sword and put it back into its sheath.

"Shua——"

After Sakura completed this action, all the memories of murder she just did, including the memory fragments she had just seen, disappeared instantly and were sealed in [Seven Thunders of Retribution].

After losing these memories, Sakura felt a great sense of relief and completely rid herself of the influence of killing so many people this time.

"..."

After testing the new weapon, Sakura turned her head slowly and looked at Patriot who had been watching her.

However, this situation did not last too long. She quickly retracted her gaze, put down [Forget-me-not] again, and planned to leave directly.

For now, Sakura did not want to contact Patriot and others. Even if she planned to appear as a "guardian" later, it would be after returning to the Reunion Movement Basecamp.

For now, both sides should do what they need to do. Staying here would only delay her time... It was completely meaningless.

"Who... are you?"

Looking at Sakura, who was about to turn around and leave, Patriot finally spoke.

"..."

Faced with the sudden inquiry, Sakura did not answer his question. She exerted her strength and disappeared from the eyes of Patriot and others in a breath, accompanied by the wind and snow.

Sakura's speed was too fast, so fast that Patriot did not even have the opportunity to stop her.

"Go check... whether there are still people... alive there, and then collect... their weapons and equipment." After watching the pink figure disappear for a while, Patriot issued a new order.

After collecting everything, Patriot continued to lead the team and rushed to the mine as quickly as possible.

——————————————————

In the mine warehouse——

After realizing that Sakura had completed the task and tested the weapon, Griseo gently blinked her big eyes, with a touch of joy in her eyes.

This joy even made the little loli, who had just faded from Alyona's color, not so uncomfortable.

"What's wrong?"

After noticing Griseo's joy, Alyona on the side had a hint of doubt in her eyes and asked softly.

After hearing Alyona's question, Griseo did not hesitate to whisper in her ear, "We will leave here soon. The people who are coming to pick us up are on their way."

"Hey..."

Hearing this, Alyona was stunned.

She did not expect that the thing making the little loli happy was this kind of news...

At the same time, Alyona felt a little nervous about going to a new place. A new place meant complete strangers.

"It's okay, I will accompany you."

Seeing her stunned little friend, Griseo's big violet eyes showed a trace of helplessness. She reached out, touched her little head, and comforted her softly.

"...Yeah!"

Feeling the warm touch on her head, the tension in Alyona's heart disappeared. After a moment, she nodded heavily to the little loli.

————————————————————

It didn't take too long for Patriot to lead the team to the mine. Once they arrived, they quickly began to pack up their things, taking away everything that was useful.

Both Patriot and Yelena knew this was not a place suitable for chatting. Every moment of staying here posed great risks.

So, if there was anything they needed to discuss, they planned to do it back at the camp.

It didn't take much time. After confirming everything was packed, they were ready.

The group brought supplies and protected the infected people they had rescued, leaving the huge mine and the nightmare it represented for many.
