"Cough, cough..."
As the heavy pressure receded, Frostleaf exhaled a turbid breath.
"Meteorite! We repelled the Yeti squad!"
Amiya jumped up excitedly. After a moment, she saw Frostnova's expression gradually losing its excitement as the frost still lingered.
"Indeed, I underestimated you Rhodes Islanders a little."
Frostnova glanced at the Doctor with approval and said faintly, "Your attack was still too light."
Seeing Frostnova slowly walking towards them, Amiya raised her hand to cast a spell to warn her.
She found her fingers were already numb from the cold.
The cold current had not receded.
It even seemed to be consolidating further.
Frostnova was still absorbing the cold energy in the area, intending to unleash it all and destroy everyone present.
Meteorite, carrying tons of ammunition, charged towards Frostleaf, simultaneously providing strong suppressive fire to the Reunion.
This was the last chance; success meant survival, failure meant death!
"What? The enemy is charging towards us... charging over?"
"No, she... she's charging towards Frostnova of the Yeti squad?"
The Reunion members panicked and raised their weapons, "Don't, don't try to pass!"
"Fire!"
Puff puff puff!!
"Meteorite!"
Amiya's expression froze, and she tightly clenched her hands.
"It wasn't a direct hit, it's fine!"
Whoosh!
Confirming Meteorite was not seriously injured, Amiya breathed a sigh of relief. She looked at the gradually rising mist, and dark light condensed in her hand.
It was time for this bunny to perform!
She discovered that the cold had a source. Although she didn't know if it would succeed,
At this moment, she could only fight with all her might!
Rumble!!
Black lightning struck the ground, causing earth-shattering sounds.
"Hit it, everyone believes in me deeply!"
Amiya muttered inwardly.
After the loud noise, the mist indeed began to dissipate slowly!
At the same time, a large amount of Originium dust scattered with the immense sound.
The Reunion members were dumbfounded. The leader of Rhodes Island had actually shattered the Originium they had laid!
"As expected!"
A hint of surprise flashed in Amiya's eyes. "That Frostnova created the Frost Avalanche using the Originium laid by the squad!"
She looked at Meteorite and gave her a command: "Quick! Now—!!"
Like a nimble rabbit, Meteorite instantly darted towards Frostleaf, who was fixed by the ice in the encirclement.
"Got you!"
Drowsily, Frostleaf felt her arm being enveloped by a pair of strong hands, warm and powerful.
"Get on! Quick! Hold me tight!"
Opening her eyes, a massive chest appeared before her. Frostleaf couldn't believe it: "Meteor...ite...?"
"Why are you acting heroic!"
"Am I so stupid that I would watch you die?"
Seeing Frostleaf, Meteorite first scolded her fiercely.
Then, without further ado, she hoisted Frostleaf's soft, yielding body and ran.
"Let me down... I'm not... some kind of... small animal..."
Hey, you're actually wrong about that.
You're a pink-haired fox, aren't you?
Mochi watched this heart-pounding scene with satisfaction.
Her part of the battle was over.
The remaining cleanup work would be left to them.
She was happily watching the movie, feeling quite pleased.
"I won't let go!"
Meteorite held Frostleaf's slender waist with one hand and charged towards her teammates, "Amiya! Jessica!"
"Okay!"
Jessica covered their retreat while firing her gun.
"Meteorite, take Frostleaf and go first, I'll cover you!"
Amiya stepped forward, dark light condensing in her hand.
"I understand!"
She patted Frostleaf's backside. "Frostleaf... hang in there!"
"Guh..." The weak Frostleaf could only manage a faint sound of protest.
This woman was so good at taking advantage!
"You too, Amiya, all of you, why are you all like this!" Meteorite couldn't understand why these people were willing to sacrifice their lives just to buy time for their comrades to escape.
"No matter how hard you try... you're still just children!"
She had clearly not been on the island for long and couldn't comprehend it.
"Still treating me like a child... then if I die, having saved you few, wouldn't that be worth it?" Frostleaf was straightforward.
"Remember this – if you do this again, I... I will..."
"Ha, sorry." Frostleaf admitted her mistake first. "Let's run, Meteorite."
Admitting the mistake, but not changing.
This scene,
was also seen by Frostnova not far away.
Her expression was complex, "They... escaped."
Frostnova did not order the Yeti squad to pursue further. "Cough..."
"Cough, cough..."
Blood flowed from the corner of her mouth. She had used too much Originium Arts in the previous battle.
This was a powerful force, but also a death sentence for the Infected.
Wiping the blood from her mouth, she looked towards the shadows behind her right and said faintly, "How long have you been watching?"
??? : "A few minutes."
"These warriors are worthy of praise."
Soon, a voice came from the shadows, sounding with an intense bravery.
"Hmph."
Frostnova showed a rare trace of emotion, as if... acting cute?
Mochi couldn't be sure, but there was indeed a slight sense of familiarity.
??? : "Be careful."
The silhouette of a colossal figure gradually appeared in the shadows. The shield in its hand and the antlers on its head were particularly striking.
"Your body's condition is not ideal."
It seemed to be concerned about Frostnova?
Frostnova's voice carried a hint of rebellion: "—You don't need to remind me."
"Do what you should do, you old stubborn."
She looked at the Rhodes Island members who were gradually disappearing ahead. "I'm going to pursue Rhodes Island. After we clear them out, we can then..." /
"Go to... Lungmen?"
Upon seeing the colossal figure, Mochi felt a surge of fear.
This was probably Patriot, whom even Mephisto and W feared!
He had been watching the battlefield the whole time?
Why didn't he intervene?
If he had intervened... would Rhodes Island still have had a chance to escape intact?
'Damn! This boss's character art is a bit too big!'
'It's indeed... big, super big, I like it... *slurp!*'
'Doesn't Frostnova in front of Patriot look like you being tsundere to your dad during puberty?'
'Arknights appears, Patriot has arrived!'
.......
The audience was excited. A corner of the giant screen lifted, revealing continuous excitement.
Many foreshadowed characters slowly appeared, and huge mysteries were gradually revealed.
They couldn't wait any longer!
"I have a slight confusion, why do they have to go to Lungmen?"
Mochi voiced her doubt. "Logically, Frostnova carved out territory for herself, she doesn't need to mess with Lungmen."
As she spoke, she turned her gaze back to the game.
"Phew..."
Seeing that the pursuers behind them had stopped, Amiya breathed a sigh of relief. "We're finally safe, Doctor, we..."
Just as she was about to speak, Meteorite rushed over with a communication device. "We've connected to the security bureau's communication, Amiya!!"
"Emergency communication!!"
