When Tessa entered the confinement room, Xiao Ran just turned around and smiled at Tessa, while Tessa walked up to Xiao Ran with a serious face and bowed to Xiao Ran in front of so many people, formally and seriously. The look made Xiao Ran a little embarrassed to continue sitting steadily, but stood up and supported Tessa.
"what do you mean?"
Xiao Ran may have some understanding of Tessa's thoughts. It was not just to allow them to evacuate during the previous action so that they could escape the trap. It was also not entirely because of his powerful combat ability that the retreating Mithril mercenaries were in action. To evacuate safely, choosing this place to make such a move in front of some enemies who do not belong to Mithril also has a deeper meaning in it.
Tessa raised her head and smiled slightly: "I just want to express my gratitude to you. Thanks to you, we found the traitor in the Son of Danu and prevented us from falling into their trap. Otherwise, I really don't know what to do." Just do it.”
"It doesn't matter. As a collaborator, your loss is equal to my loss." Xiao Ran smiled inexplicably, glanced at the restrained Jiulong with a gloomy face, and said, "Then the rest will be left to you. If If you don’t mind, you can let Al Elf watch them here.”
Tessa pursed her lips and smiled at Al Elf: "Then I'll trouble Mr. Al Elf. Something like this happened on the ship. Mr. El Elf's power is still very credible. So, Al Elf Mr. Ricks, don’t you want to know what their purpose is?”
"I can probably guess that if I ask about anything else, Elf will tell me." After Xiao Ran finished speaking, he walked up to Jiulong, patted Jiulong's shoulder lightly and smiled at Tessa: "Besides, these guys don't look like people who can answer questions obediently. I won't waste my time here. I feel a little tired after fighting for a while and want to take a good rest."
"Fortunately."
Tessa glanced at Xiao Ran sheepishly. The battle just now was almost fought from start to finish by Xiao Ran alone. Except for Xiangliang Zongsuke who actually fought with the enemy, the other people simply felt like a day trip to the island. Tessa started to retreat without doing anything. It was originally their mithril mission, but it was solved by Xiao Ran alone. At this point, Tessa was still a little embarrassed.
When Xiao Ran came out of the confinement room, he went directly to the room prepared for him on the Son of Danu. Before he entered the room, he heard the roar of Chidori. When he entered the room, he saw Sagara Sosuke stood upright in the small room, sweating profusely, listening to the roar of Chidori.
After seeing Xiao Ran, Chidori just punched Xiangliang Zongsuke in the stomach, then snorted and sat on the bed, talking to Yani who had already woken up. Xiao Ran had just come in, and he didn't know Xiangliang Zongsuke. How did Suke offend this seemingly fiery but actually very kind girl? He just looked at Sagara Sousuke, who was hunched over and holding his stomach, and gave her a look that meant she was asking for a lot of happiness.
Xiangliang Zongsuke took a clear look at Xiao Ran and nodded his head silently, with the feeling that the strong man in the wind and water was gone and would never return.
Shaking his head and smiling, Xiao Ran didn't bother to pay attention to this silly guy. He walked directly to the bed and looked at Yanni and asked, "How are you? Do you feel better?"
"Yes." Yanni nodded slightly, gently holding the quilt with both hands and said: "I don't know why I fainted all of a sudden. Am I causing trouble for you now?"
"How could that be?" Xiao Ran smiled and touched Yanni's head and said, "Don't think too much and just have a good rest."
"Hey." Chidori listened to the conversation between the two, and sighed with a helpless look on his face. Then he looked at Sosuke Sagara, who was standing by the door like a target, and murmured to himself. : "It's obviously the same profession, why is there such a big difference, that fool."
Although Chidori talked to himself in a low voice, it still couldn't escape Xiao Ran's ears. After hearing what Chidori said, Xiao Ran also smiled hoarsely. With Sosuke Sagara's temperament, I'm afraid he didn't even understand what he was doing. What do you think? It is even more impossible for him to take the initiative to say something nice.
Only a silly girl like Chidori would look forward to a real solo trip with Sosuke Sagara, and hope that Sosuke Sagara would express his feelings to her, but at least there would be no such opportunity in a short time.
Yani didn't hear clearly what Chidori said. After giving Chidori a strange look, she rubbed her head and said to Xiao Ran: "Brother, when I woke up, I found that there seemed to be too many things in my head. A lot of things feel a little uncomfortable due to the price increase.”
"This is the normal reaction of the Whisperer after he awakens." Xiao Ran was not sure what the normal reaction of the Whisperer was after his awakening, so he could only help Yani lie down again and said: "Let Chidori stay with me more You, please wait until Colonel Tessa is done with her affairs and ask her to come over and explain it to you. I’m not too sure about this aspect either.”
"Yes." Yani nodded obediently.
Xiao Ran looked at Chidori who seemed to be holding back a lot of words and wanted to vent them. After smiling, he took Xiangliang Zongsuke and left the room. He found a bench for Xiangliang Zongsuke to sit down and guarded the door. After that, Xiao Ran left He picked up a pistol and gave it to Xiangliang Zongsuke, and asked Xiangliang Zongsuke to guard the door, and then he found a place and started to rest.
Several hours had passed by the time he woke up again. Although the previous battle was simple, maybe it was because of his body or the fact that he was not wearing a combat uniform, so Xiao Ran's body was still under a certain amount of pressure. After resting for a while, my body felt a lot more relaxed.
Stretching leisurely, Xiao Ran opened the door and walked out. He went to check on Yani first and found that Xiangliang Zongsuke who was originally guarding the door had been replaced by Lang Ba, who was doing nothing. The game console was played happily, and Yani fell asleep in the room.
Xiao Ran, who did not disturb Yani, quietly retreated from the room. After letting Lang Ba take a look at Yani, he headed towards the bridge. Before he could reach the place, he saw Tessa and Richard talking hurriedly. walked towards his own direction.
Seeing the two people in a hurry, Xiao Ran also said hello to them and asked: "What's wrong? What happened?"
Tessa sighed: "It's nothing. It's just about this mission. What happened on the island has already spread. The United States doesn't just want us to hand over these captured people to them. We are required to cooperate with their next retaliatory actions. After all, we accepted the mission but the mission failed, and now the senior management is also having a headache."
"Retaliation? Isn't this quite normal?" Xiao Ran nodded suddenly and said, "If such a big thing happened, all the personnel of a military base were sacrificed, and the base was reduced to ruins, of course the United States would take certain actions. , there’s nothing wrong with that.”
"This is not the point of the problem." Richard shook his head and said with an ugly expression: "It has now been determined that the aircraft that appeared on the island are the third-generation ASs manufactured by the Soviet Union. The United States does not believe what we say at all. It is said that Amalgam is the real mastermind of this time, and targeting the Soviet Union tells us that even if there is an organization like Amalgam, it must be an organization supported by the Soviet Union behind the scenes... "
Tessa took over the conversation with a heavy face: "So if it doesn't go well, it might lead the two superpowers to start a full-scale war, and eventually lead to a world war. Now the high-level officials are trying their best to persuade the United States, hoping that they can Determine the real target and avoid triggering a bigger war."
"So far, the U.S. military has made a lot of noise, and its troops have begun to gather. In response, the Soviet Union has also begun to move troops to the border, seeking help from allies in surrounding countries, and may start a war at any time. "
"Is it just something that happened in the few hours I was asleep?" Xiao Ran was confused when he heard Tessa's words. He didn't expect that things would develop to such an extent, and the speed was even more surprising. , it is not in line with the normal development rules at all, and the attitude of the United States is too firm, and it is inexplicably firm.
"Yes." Tessa sighed and nodded helplessly: "If the Soviet Union and the United States start a war, the possibility of it developing into a world war is very, very high. By that time, our Mithril will be really powerless. With our own strength, we cannot play any role in such a war."
"On the contrary, the organization called Amalgam can continue to expand endlessly during the war. By that time, I am afraid that no force will be able to control their existence."
"World War..." Xiao Ran frowned slightly, shook his head and said: "If it really comes to that step, the consequences will be unimaginable. The attitude of the United States is too firm. Why does it keep denying the existence of amalgam? Haven't you ever thought about it?"
"I suspect that what happened today is simply a series of plots to deal with you and me. It doesn't matter if these two goals fail. In the end, as long as the base is destroyed and all the hostages are killed, it will be the best." The best reason ever.”
"The reason has appeared, and the only thing left is the person who can decide to go to war. With the power of Amalgam, it seems that it is not as difficult as imagined to influence certain people." (.) 8
