"Ding-dong!" Just as Kanna boarded the helicopter and evacuated Chernobog, another message came from the system.
At this moment, she didn't open the system. Instead, she held Rosmontis's hand, looking at her worriedly.
Touch, who was nearby, had just injected her with an oripathy Block medicine. Rosmontis now lay weakly in Kanna's steel-like embrace.
"Why did Rosmontis come?" Kanna still remembered the teams for this mission, and Rosmontis was not among them.
"After learning that you and Amiya were coming to Chernobog, she went to Kal'tsit. I don't know what she said, but Kal'tsit eventually agreed to her request, and she was brought along when we boarded the plane for support."
Yunlong Ge, the team leader nearby, explained to Kanna why Rosmontis was there.
"You just got a tiny bit better, and you ran out again. What if something goes wrong!" Kanna pinched Rosmontis's cheek, scolding her.
Rosmontis smiled, "I'm not afraid, because with you and Amiya, I recovered so quickly. Now you need help, how could I not come? Besides, aren't we friends..."
"Argh! You make me so mad!" Looking at Rosmontis's smiling face, Kanna wanted to be angry but didn't know what to say, so she just pinched her cheeks and shook them back and forth.
"Stop messing around. We just received news that several units from Chernobog are pursuing Amiya's direction. We need to go and provide support." Yunlong Ge's face turned dark as he watched Kanna and Rosmontis playfully pinching each other's faces. Just then, news arrived that Reunion Movement members were giving chase, and he immediately gave orders.
"Okay!" Playful antics were fine normally, but now it was combat time, so Kanna let go.
"But Rosmontis is not allowed to make a move again. As long as those few Reunion Movement experts don't come, the remaining people aren't worthy of you taking action..."
Seeing Rosmontis about to get up, Kanna pressed her down onto a makeshift emergency bed.
Seeing Kanna's firm gaze, Rosmontis obediently chose to listen.
At this time, they had not yet left Kanna's Pray for Rain range, so everyone, under Amiya's command, including the Doctor, was replenished with a "Kanna Grenade."
Relying on the powerful combat strength of these "Kanna Grenades," the team repelled several waves of Reunion Movement's almost suicidal attacks, finally completely shaking off their pursuit.
"These people are so strange!" After they were completely safe, the team made some adjustments. The Doctor and Amiya, who were in the worst physical condition, boarded the helicopter and returned to Rhodes Island with Rosmontis and her group.
Kanna followed Hoshiguma's squad, who were covering the rear, at the very end of the team, vigilant for any further Reunion Movement pursuit.
Hoshiguma told Kanna about the enemies they had encountered earlier.
"Those people were completely fearless of death. Your clone thing was already exaggerated enough, yet even under that pressure, they still dared to charge at us recklessly, as if their lives meant nothing."
After listening to Hoshiguma, Kanna asked, "What about their combat strength?"
Hoshiguma's ears twitched, indicating her own unease, "Very strong! At least, if it weren't for your thing, we would have suffered considerable losses in a direct confrontation."
Kanna looked towards Chernobog. After hearing Hoshiguma's words, Kanna guessed that this pursuing "Reunion Movement" force was highly likely personnel from the Ursus Third Army Group, who were hidden in Chernobog and had dealings with the old worm.
Having personally witnessed her strength, she didn't believe Kashchey would be willing to send more people to their deaths. Therefore, the only ones who would make such a decision would be the army controlled by the Ursus warmongering nobles.
And only an army's power would make Hoshiguma feel pressure.
Kanna did not voice her speculation. After all, if others knew that Rhodes Island would next face Reunion Movement and the Ursus army, it would elicit two different feelings.
The former would make them think that everyone was an organization speaking for and serving the Infected, just that they had gone astray, so they needed to be corrected.
The latter, however, would cause widespread panic, and even some less loyal Operators and those being treated for oripathy at Rhodes Island would flee. After all, Ursus was a standard powerful nation in Terra, and a pharmaceutical company provoking a military superpower would be like an old man eating arsenic — simply seeking death.
A day later, Kanna and her group returned to Rhodes Island. Kal'tsit summoned all the combatants and, after carefully inquiring about the details of the battle, said,
"Everyone's contributions were indispensable in safely evacuating Chernobog this time. However, observations of Chernobog over the past few days have revealed some issues, and based on your accounts, I have some conjectures.
Now we will advance towards Lungmen, striving to gain the official support of Yan. I apologize that due to time constraints, everyone will not have more time to rest."
After Kal'tsit finished speaking, she walked towards the Medical Department.
Kanna and her group followed. Upon entering, everyone noticed something: many Doctors were missing from the Medical Department, such as Warfarin, who was usually unreliable but would definitely be present for any excitement.
"Why does it feel like half of Rhodes Island's Doctors are gone? Did they finally get fed up with your oppression, Kal'tsit, and escape while everyone was out?"
After looking around, Kanna asked curiously.
Kal'tsit glanced at her, "They went to Chernobog..."
"What!" Hearing Kal'tsit's words, everyone looked over nervously. After all, they had just fought fiercely with Reunion Movement in Chernobog yesterday, and everyone's perception of this organization was still that of an enemy. Now Kal'tsit was telling them that a large group of Rhodes Island Doctors were in enemy territory, how could they not feel anxious?
"Don't worry, everyone was prepared when they went, and I also arranged for other Operators to accompany them. They won't go in under the Rhodes Island banner and are only rescuing Refugees still left in the city after the Catastrophe. Naturally, they won't attract Reunion Movement's attention."
Kal'tsit was not worried about the situation of these Rhodes Island medical Operators. After all, Doctors who can treat oripathy are treasures everywhere. Even if they are captured by Reunion Movement, as long as their hostile identities are not exposed, their lives will not be in danger.
After all, Reunion Movement is also an organization primarily composed of Infected. It makes no sense for them not to revere Doctors who can control the symptoms of infectious diseases, but instead harm them.
"Instead of worrying about Warfarin, you should hurry up and come in for your check-up. We're already short-staffed, and if you keep delaying, who knows how long it will take."
Seeing that everyone's expressions were still a bit tense, Kal'tsit pulled open the door to the examination area and said calmly.
