But she also knew that Chen had always missed her sister.
Just before, when she had been silently following behind Chen, she had more or less anticipated the current situation.
Just then, Chen turned to Hoshiguma and Shirayuki, "Tell Wei Yenwu / Wei Yanwu that Rhodes Island has a personnel exchange agreement with Lungmen, right? Count me in!"
Although Chen's inner thought was that as long as Talulah was on Rhodes Island, she would absolutely not return to Lungmen, she also knew that if she left without a word, her friend Hoshiguma would be blamed. That's why she asked her to relay a message.
As for whether Wei Yenwu / Wei Yanwu approved or not, she would already be on Rhodes Island by then.
"Alright then! If you need anything on Rhodes Island, remember to send us a message."
Not intending to stop Chen from leaving, Hoshiguma simply made a gesture of making a call.
After the mission in Chernobog was completed, the Rhodes Island contingent was divided into two parts. Doctor, Amiya, and the Operators who had previously come from Lungmen returned to Rhodes Island by plane, while Sharp's team, Ceobe's team, and Kanna remained here.
The reason was simple: with such a large number of new Refugees, the forces under Patriot alone could not fully protect this ruined city. The excessive number of people also meant that even if those in the ruined city wanted to leave, they couldn't assemble in a short time.
Patriot's decision was for everyone to rest today and then gather tomorrow to head south to Kazdel.
Midway, they would send the minority of non-Infected in the team to Lungmen, where Lungmen would take over these people and then hand them over to Ursus.
As for the Infected, not a single one was willing to return to Ursus in their current status.
After the plane departed, several more vehicles drove over from not far away. Kanna immediately spotted Popukar sitting on the roof of one of the cars.
Having spotted Kanna from afar, she excitedly waved continuously. After realizing that the newcomers were also from Rhodes Island, the Shieldguards, who had originally taken up their weapons and prepared for battle, retreated back into the ruined city.
"I heard you guys were coming to support earlier, but I didn't see you when we went to Chernobog..." Kanna was also very happy to see her companions. After being picked up by Popukar and run around the crowd several times, she was finally put down by the excited Popukar.
"After all, Doctor's previous plan was too dangerous. According to Priestess's estimation, even if it succeeded, it wouldn't end quickly. So, as a support force, we carried a lot of supplies and were prepared for a long-term battle. But when we arrived here, we learned that you had already taken the ruined city and were attacking Chernobog. After reporting to Rhodes Island, Kal'tsit told us to wait at the previous temporary camp, and we only just received the message to come and rendezvous with you."
Under the north wind of Ursus, Orchid had completely shed her urban professional attire from the mobile fortress. Instead, she was bundled up tightly in thick gear. If she didn't speak, Kanna wouldn't have known who was inside the thick clothing.
After speaking, Orchid, as the temporary Captain of the three support reserve teams, walked up to Sharp.
"Doctor Kal'tsit has instructed us to bring all supplies and rendezvous. Reserve Teams A1, A4, and A6 are all present. Please give your orders, Captain."
When Doctor and his group left, Sharp, who was appointed as the temporary leader of Rhodes Island, looked up at the several vehicles full of supplies and nodded.
"Very good. Everyone, take the supplies into the city. Captain, these supplies are mostly combat-specific and can be used to replenish the equipment consumed by everyone during this period."
Patriot did not decline Sharp's suggestion, because he also knew that when Talulah drove him out, the combat equipment he carried was insufficient, and after experiencing battles, the ruined city was already stretched thin.
Although these supplies were indeed not much compared to the needs of several thousand people in the city, they were enough for emergencies.
Under Sharp's arrangement, these companions from the reserve team also successfully entered the ruined city.
"Although we are on the Ursus border, the border dispute between Ursus and Kazdel itself spans hundreds of kilometers. So, if the Ursus officials are shameless enough, they can still intercept the team before we cross the 'border'.
Therefore, the speed of going south cannot be too slow. Then, when we reach this location, all of you from Reserve Team A6 will coordinate with Lungmen's Officer Hoshiguma and Miss Shirayuki to escort the non-Infected in the team to Lungmen. Kanna, you will also follow and escort them. After the people are delivered, Orchid, you can choose to return to Rhodes Island or rejoin us depending on the situation."
Sharp took out a map and pointed to a location, giving instructions to the people in the team.
Among these three reserve teams, teams A1 and A4 both had Medical Operators, who were currently the most urgently needed talent in the ruined city. The people of A1 had experience as police officers, and the Sankta of A4 were good at reconnaissance. Compared to escort missions, their role here was greater.
And it was impossible for Hoshiguma and Shirayuki alone to escort so many people to Lungmen, so only A6 Team, which had the least impact here and was better at communication, could be sent to escort them.
As for Kanna, he believed that A6 alone was too few, and the team's combat power would be insufficient. If they encountered Ursus forces, they could be completely wiped out. So, he arranged for Kanna, who usually acted alone, to follow.
Although his own side's combat power would be greatly reduced without Kanna, with the existence of "Kanna's Grenades," and the combat power of Reunion Movement and Rhodes Island being not much worse than regular troops, it could even be said that if not too many came, it wouldn't be impossible for his side to defeat them.
Kanna also expressed her approval of Sharp's arrangement and promised that if Sharp and his group encountered danger, they could contact her immediately, and she would rush to support them as quickly as possible.
After confirming the subsequent actions, the Rhodes Island personnel, according to the arrangement, went to several posts on the edge of the ruined city and relieved the Reunion Movement members there.
Sharp took Kanna into the city to make the final confirmation with Patriot before leaving.
Upon arriving at Patriot's office, they found him talking with an incredulous elderly Liberi.
Kanna immediately recognized him: wasn't this Old Man Hellagur, one of Rhodes Island's Operators who fasted?
In the story, his "Azazel" did not choose to provide help and intelligence to Rhodes Island in the first instance, which led to Rhodes Island underestimating Reunion Movement's combat power in Chernobog and was one of the reasons for the heavy casualties before they could leave Chernobog.
