Xia Wan is now wandering around in the [-]th district.

As the Victoria City Defense Force lifted the siege of the nearby area, it was replaced by the Deep Pool troops that had occupied the City Hall and were gradually spreading and eroding the entire Hill County.

They are especially fond of District [-], and even set up their headquarters in the square at the entrance of District [-], because this will be the foundation of their foothold.

Compared with the Victoria City Defense Force, which has blocked the Tara block but has not yet broken its face and is still restrained, the deep pool troops regard all non-Tara residents of Xiaoqiu County as enemies, and some of them fear The fools who are not chaotic in the world don't even spare the people of Tara, and they will step up if they see it.

Even Xia Wan didn't want to cause more trouble, so she could only hide herself with a black box the whole time, looking for Saoirsa who had been detained by Shenchi.

After a while, when the night fades, Shenchi's "leader" will return to the headquarters and publicly execute Saoirse in the square. Xia Wan must find someone before this, otherwise he will have to confront Shenchi head-on The way to "lead" and save people from a large number of deep pool troops can be taken.

No need to think about it, this road is not so easy to get through, I am afraid that the only chance is to activate the self-destruct mode——she does not want to waste the self-destruct mode that may only be used once a day so easily, the last The battle hasn't started yet.

So, she went to all the places where Saoirse might be haunted, as well as all the places where Shenchi might hold prisoners, newspaper offices, deserted alleys, residential houses with abnormally many soldiers in Shenchi, and even Shenchi had been used as a command Department's annex.

There were a lot of them, and the concealment ability of the black box could not last that long, so she had to find a place to stop for a while, and it took a long time to finally find Saoirse in an unattractive ordinary house.

At this time, the white clothes on this young woman from Tara, Ferlin, were extremely dirty, covered with mud and dust, and the bowler hat she always wore on her head had long since disappeared. His face was also stained with tears, and he curled up in a corner of the deepest room in the house in panic.

Several Shenchi soldiers were standing at the door of the room, guarding her strictly, waiting for the "leader" to be judged.

I don't know how long it will be before the trial, Xia Wan has no time to waste, she quietly walked past those deep pool soldiers, approached Saoirse who was curled up, and then squatted down to take advantage of her looking up covered her mouth.

"Uh-uh-?!"

Saoirse, who was caught off guard, was stunned by the sudden attack, sobbing in panic, struggling to pull away the invisible hand covering her mouth.

"Stay still, Saoirse, can you hear my voice? I am Candlelight."

The moment she heard Xia Wan's voice, Saoirse obediently stopped her movements, or she might have been too shocked to be stunned.

Of course she knows who Xia Wan is, that is, who Candle is. She also interviewed her on behalf of the Xiaoqiu County Evening News some time ago——In Xiaoqiu County, a city-state where there is nothing new on weekdays, a person who has no grievances and A linguist who treats the Tara people with great affection is obviously good news in the eyes of the Knoll County Evening Gazette, which has a mostly Tara audience.

However, why Xia Wan appeared here, and why the soldiers in Shenchi, including herself, couldn't see her, this is what shocked Saoirse.

Maybe Saoirse's struggling sound leaked out a little, and the Shenchi soldiers at the door turned around suspiciously to check it out, which made her stiff all over, for fear that Xia Wan would be discovered by these people.

"Don't worry, they can't see me."

Of course, Xia Wan is not afraid of being discovered. As long as the two soldiers don't come closer to investigate, her disguise will not be exposed, so she is more worried about Saoirse: "Can you still stand up?"

After hesitating for a few seconds, Saoirse nodded quietly after the deep pool soldier turned his head away again.

"Okay, that's fine, I'll take you out now, come on, stand up slowly—don't worry, as long as you don't make too much noise or touch them directly, they won't be able to see you. "

In fact, Xia Wan had already wiped away Saoirse's traces with the black box when the Shenchi soldiers turned their heads. If they look back now, they might be caught by a living person in less than a second. The disappearance under the house was so frightening that I thought it was a real ghost.

Then it went smoothly.

Xia Wan held Saoirse's hand, comforted her trembling and fearful emotions, and led her out of the residence.

As I said just now, all the Shenchi soldiers didn't notice anything was wrong, so they just let them leave.

"Look, it's safe now."

Said in Saoirse's ear, Xia Wan led her into the alley next to the residential house --- just before entering the alley, Xia Wan saw walking towards here, or this residential house from a distance The Shenchi cadres who came, Mandela, Ahmoni, and the "leader" who walked in the forefront.

———It's very strange.

According to the plot of the game, even if these three people returned from the city hall, they should have stayed in the square and waited for the Shenchi soldiers to escort Saoirse there, and then perform a public execution before being hit. How could they come here in person?

Could this be...?

Before Xia Wan could think about the result, the black box in her arms that emitted a dim red light trembled slightly and then fell silent.

"Oops, Saoirse, hurry up, we're running away!"

What a coincidence, it happened at this time.

The black box's ability has a limited time to work, but Xia Wan didn't expect it to fail at such a bad time.

She exclaimed, changed her previous calmness, grabbed Saoirse who didn't know what happened, and fled into the alley.

Behind them, a little later, I don't know if it was intentional or the reaction speed was just a few seconds slower, and the pseudo flame origin stone skill from the "leader" of the deep pool swept past.

"What's going on? What are you doing?"

Mandela, who didn't see Xia Wan and Saoirse, was taken aback by the sudden action of the "leader" and questioned in surprise, while Akhmoni beside her frowned: "Just now, did you want to Attacked those two, but missed?"

"Leader" nodded his head lightly, and said slowly: "...Well, it's okay, it's just two...insignificant flies."

Of course, this undoubtedly attracted Mandela's more aggressive question, "Two flies? You can't even burn two flies?"

Chapter 51 The Rhode Island Squad Left Behind

Xia Wan and Saoirse, who were fleeing at full speed in the alley, quickly exhausted their energy, and they were only about two blocks away from the departure point. They stopped panting and leaned against the wall to rest for a while.

Neither of them has ever engaged in physical labor... At least Saoirse has not, and now being able to run for more than ten minutes is already the limit.

"What, how? Escaped...escaped?"

It is very rare that Saoirse's body is not as weak as Xia Wan's. She is now disheveled, and she is asking Xia Wan intermittently while wiping off the sweat from her forehead.

And Xia Wan looks much better than her. Although her legs under the long skirt are a little weak and trembling, she still maintains a perfect image, panting slightly rhythmically and replied: "It should be fine, they don't seem to be chasing after you." , take a rest and let's go out."

She didn't know why Shenchi's "leader" did not choose to pursue after witnessing this escape, but the black box did not sense the approach of the enemy—maybe the "leader" was silent about the manipulating her sister and Shenchi. Resistance, or simply not realizing that Saoirse is the prisoner they want to catch, no matter what the reason is, the most important thing is what to do afterwards.

It is impossible for Saoirse to stay in Xiaoqiu County anymore. She has been identified as a traitor by Shenchi who has occupied this city-state, and there is only one dead end for staying here.

"Saoirse."

After thinking for a while, Xia Wan asked: "Where are you going next? Xiaoqiu County has fallen, and those who arrested you---Shenchi will not let you go."

This question is not so easy to answer.

Saoirse grew up in Xiaoqiu County, and thought that she would grow old in Xiaoqiu County. She did not expect things to become like this at all. She was silent, her expression gradually became very sad, but she resisted not She shed tears, lowered her head, looked at the mess and dirt all over her body that almost merged with the ground of the alley, and said timidly: "I, I...my parents are still here , I thought... at least to say goodbye to them..."

However, even this kind of human nature is not allowed now.

"Sorry, I don't have time to accompany you on this trip, and I can't let you go alone. Deep pools can be seen everywhere. Maybe there will be a fight the moment we walk out of the alley."

Xia Wan mercilessly rejected Saoirse's wish, but perhaps she knew it was too cruel, so she purposely softened her tone, and continued slowly: "So, I suggest you think about it first." Where are you going after leaving Xiaoqiu County, or discuss it with Jane later, and I will take you to see her."

"Jenny?!" Hearing her closest friend from Xia Wan's mouth, Saoirse looked up at her in surprise, but after a while, her expression became even darker: "But, but because I gave the party information I told her that...it became what it is now, that fire killed so many people, even Simon..."

"You should tell her that you did the right thing, Saoirse, that you were not to blame for the deaths of those people at that party, that Deep Pool threw the bomb, that deep pool set the flames, that they never set the tower Pulling people as companions, they are just using your dissatisfaction and hatred against Victoria."

Xia Wan put her hand on Saoirsa's shoulder, gently embraced her in her arms, and stroked her back slowly like smooth hair: "If you still feel that you are unforgivable, you should Be strong, swallow your sorrow, bear your sins, and live, and see, and be a witness, till this war is over—but don't cry in my arms, I'll be embarrassed of."

I don't know if Xia Wan's meager persuasion had an effect, or the last witty words ruined the atmosphere, or the pleasant smell of flowers on her body dispelled the restlessness, Saoirse snuggled into her arms and agreed sullenly: "Yes , You are right, Miss Candlelight, I have to, I have to live, because I have experienced what happened today, I have to live."

"That's right, then rest for a while, another 5 minutes, after 5 minutes, you will be stronger."

Saoirse didn't answer, but the short tail behind her answered instead, swaying gently from side to side, as if enjoying the short relaxation time after the high tension.

then.

After the rest time, Saoirse took the initiative to leave Xia Wan's embrace, lowered her head and thanked softly, her cheeks seemed to be a little red.

Xia Wan, who didn't notice this at all, held her hand again as if urging her, activated the black box again, and the two walked towards the square where the Rhode Island office was located.

It is not yet dawn, and Jane is probably still running around the city trying to raise food and water for the people of Tara. Xia Wan plans to take Saoirse to the Rhode Island office to rest, anyway, there should be Only Outcast is left—maybe even Outcast hasn't returned yet, so it's good to let her borrow it for a while.

However, she did not expect that when she took Saoirse and pushed open the door of Rhode Island's office in Xiaoqiu County, she would be greeted by five eyes.

None of the operators of Rhodes Island's office in Xiaoqiu County left.

"Oh, it looks like our captain kidnapped a lovely Miss Ferring from outside."

The first to speak was Outcast, who was sitting on an office chair and drinking steaming black tea leisurely. She looked at Xia Wan and Saoirse with eyes full of interest.

"...What's going on, didn't I tell you to evacuate? Now the deep pool is—"

"The deep pool has penetrated into every place in Xiaoqiu County, Paradise, I know." Outcast put down his teacup, took her words and said, "However, we also have things to deal with, if we don't finish all the work, how can we?" You can leave so easily, and after they heard that you and I are going to stay and continue to act, none of them are willing to leave, why don't you try to persuade them?"

Just by listening to Outcast's tone, Xia Wan knew that perhaps she had indeed conveyed orders to the operators here, but she definitely did not seriously intend to persuade them.

"Although I have no experience in joining an elite operator team, Miss Paradise, I don't think there will be any team members who leave the captain behind and evacuate first!"

Another operator, seems to be called Oliver or Fred, Xia Wan can't remember their names, he also echoed Outcast's words, not only him, the other three also agreed, When Wan's eyes flicked to him, he nodded violently.

"...I have never led such a disobedient player."

Sighing heavily, Xia Wan decided to let Saoirse rest first, and then reason with these guys.

Chapter 52 Waiting

That feeling.

It's like going shopping in a mall with a small amount of money, planning which products to buy after careful planning, but when negotiating the price with the most important store, and returning to pick up the goods after buying other products, the other party A sudden change of mind raised the price.

It's not that Xia Wan is ungrateful. These operators who chose to stay in Xiaoqiu County are undoubtedly the greatest support for her, but now her plan is really only one step away, and the support is useless. They will leave first. On the contrary, it can make her worry less.

"So, is the retreat route arranged?"

After holding Saoirse's hand tightly until she fell asleep in the reference room, Xia Wan walked to the window of the office and asked questions while observing the situation outside.

In front of Outcast, she didn't need to pretend to be confident about everything, so her expression looked a little stern, or rather unhappy.

At this time, the sky was just getting bright, and maybe it was the time to execute Saoirse in the game plot. Looking out from the window of the Rhodes Island office, although there was no way to directly see the situation on the square, you could pass by the frequent passing by outside. The deep pool soldiers and the sound of no firefight for a long time judged that they had completely turned this area—— District [-] and the surrounding area into their own territory, and perhaps they were desperately searching for Saoirse's hiding place.

"Fred has already contacted the evacuation route." Outcast walked to Xia Wan's side, handed her a cup of freshly brewed black tea, and said, "Warm your stomach, there will be a battle that will make us all covered in mud." rainstorm."

"...If there is only mud and rain, that's fine." Xia Wan stared at Outcast, took a sip of black tea: "Thank you."

"Listen to you, what else is waiting for you——no, is it waiting for us?"

Facing Outcast's inquiry, Xia Wan did not answer directly, but looked down at the black tea in the cup that was as clear as an amber gemstone, and asked after a while: "I hope the road ahead is not in danger, Misery told you so, right?"

Outcast replied with a smile: "That's what he told you, although I'm a little late."

"Ha, in his eyes, am I still a member of the elite operator?"

"At least you still are."

"...What an honor." I don't know whether to sigh Misery or tease myself, Xia Wan gently put the teacup on the window sill, and then said: "But we are now in the center of the storm, this is really true. A prophecy."

"I have already reported the incident to the main ship of Rhodes Island, but have not received a reply, and the other elite operators in Victoria cannot be contacted. Maybe Xiaoqiu County has been silenced by the whole area, whether it is mud rain or storm, Now we have to do it ourselves."

Seeing Xia Wan put down the teacup, Outcast also put away her thoughts of chatting, raised her hand and took out her revolver from the weapon pouch beside her, and asked while loading bullets in it, "Are you about to start action? "

"Well, it's almost time."

Xia Wan quietly watched her reload the ammunition, and after the fifth bullet was loaded, she reminded: "Five bullets are enough, Outcast, I won't let you fire the sixth bullet, and it's not yet For the real battle, don’t put on your outfits, stay here and protect Saoirse until Outcast and I go out to bring Jenny back."

Hearing this, Outcast looked at Xia Wan in surprise, and smiled helplessly after a few seconds: "...Yes, if it's you, it's not surprising to know this, but there is always a bigger road ahead It’s okay to be prepared for the challenge.”

As she spoke, she still loaded the last bullet into the handgun.

Xia Wan could only sigh, and said, "It's best not to fire a single shot, don't forget how I slipped out of Rhodes Island."

"Don't get me wrong, Paradise, I believe in your ability—this doesn't mean that there are no accidents, otherwise you wouldn't say that Misery has come true."

"...I see, let's go, we should go and bring back the silly girl who is still hanging out now."

There is no point arguing with Outcast. Xia Wan knows that no matter what she says, she will still do it when it is time to do it. Except for Kelsey, basically no one can change her behavior style, so she can only consider not letting it go. The situation was bad enough to let her do it.

Fortunately, that is not now.

The two walked out of the Rhode Island office with the help of the black box's concealment ability. Even though the soldiers from Shenchi could be seen everywhere on the street, no one noticed them.

Outcast walked beside Xia Wan, looking at those deep pool soldiers who had grown from nothing overnight, and said in a low voice: "According to the current situation, Jian Jian appeared rashly on the bright side and would definitely be targeted, but May she hide in a safe place now."

"......hope so."

If Jane was really willing to hide in a safe place honestly, Xia Wan wouldn't call her a silly girl—if she guessed right, she probably just returned to District [-] with food and water.

Therefore, Xia Wan didn't look elsewhere, and directly brought Outcast to a secluded corner of the square.

Not far away is the headquarters of Shenchi. According to common sense, as a Victorian soldier, it is impossible for Jane to appear here.

"Do you think Jane will come... no, will break into the headquarters of the deep pool?"

From where they stood, they could clearly observe the situation outside the Shenchi headquarters, Outcast could easily guess what Xia Wan was thinking.

"She is a person who values ​​her friends very much. If she learns that her best friend in Xiaoqiu County has been taken away by Shenchi, it is basically certain what she will do."

In the game plot, Jane would squat at Saoirse’s ashes and cry in despair, but in reality, Saoirse was not executed, so she would definitely go to the headquarters in the deep pool to find Saoirse—even if I am just a guard of honor, and I will try to sneak in if I can't force my way into the headquarters.

"I now wish you hadn't seen people so accurately."
