foreigner's journey

Chapter 346 Mission Failure
When Heather looked up, she saw stars dotted the night sky, and the bright full moon cast gentle and cool moonlight.

Under the moonlight, the rolling hills are covered by an endless ocean of white reeds, and the half-person-high reeds create waves of waves as the night wind blows.

There were no birds chirping, no insect chirping, only the rustling of the reeds as they lay low.

The night breeze was cool, and Heather stood on the top of the hill, quietly looking into the distance.

Across the endless sea of ​​white reeds, on the distant hills at the other end, between the half-human tall reeds, stood a tall blond woman.

Heather couldn't see her face clearly, she could only vaguely see that she was wearing a pure white dress, and her waist-length golden hair was fluttering in the wind.

Although she couldn't see her face clearly, Heather could see her blue eyes staring at her from afar.

She opened her lips slightly, as if to say something.

Then Heather woke up.

Looking at the familiar ceiling, Heather sat up from the bed and shook her head. In recent years, she occasionally had this dream.The content of the dream is exactly the same, they all wake up when the blond woman is about to say something, is it a sign of something?

Bang!Bang!Bang!
At this time, the door was knocked hastily, and Tifa's voice came from outside the door: "Senior Brother! Senior Brother!"

Heather glanced at the clock beside the bed, 5 in the morning?He walked over to open the door, with a puzzled tone: "Tifa, what's the matter?"

Tifa was wearing a cute pink bear pajamas, and the pattern of the bear’s smiling face on her chest was stretched a little out of shape. She whispered in panic, "Barrett and the others are back, and I sent them to the seventh heaven... The situation, the situation does not seem to be good!"

Not too good, ambushed by Shinra Corporation?Heather didn't really want to care about the avalanche, but Tifa couldn't help it if she was so worried, so she had to push Tifa to her own room: "You change your clothes first, and I'll go take a look."

"But, but..."

"obedient."

"……Um."

Seeing Tifa close the door, Heather put on a coat and went downstairs.

Tianwangzhuang was very close to Seventh Heaven, and when he walked outside, he found the lights in the bar hall were on, and when he opened the door, he saw Xue Beng people who were covered in injuries and were in a particularly embarrassing situation.

Barrett had a lot of bruises on his body, and he looked ashamed; Biggs was covering his shoulders, blood was spilling from his fingers; Weggy knelt on the ground and placed the medicine box in front of him, looking anxiously for the healing ointment ;Jessie seemed to be the least injured of the group, and she was behind the bar holding a water glass and a pitcher.

They were startled when they heard the sound of the door being pushed open, only to find that it was Heather who was relieved.

"Sorry, I made the floor dirty. I'll come over and clean it later... Hiss!" Biggs pointed to the blood dripping on the floor, and grinned his teeth because of the pain when he touched the wound as soon as he smiled.

Heather walked over and kicked the medicine box: "The brown bottle on the left, don't wipe too much at a time. Use the gauze and anti-inflammatory drugs in the lower compartment after the bleeding stops."

Weiji was about to burst into tears: "Hai, Brother Heather!"

"The situation doesn't seem to be going well? Did Shinra hold a welcome party for you? Tsk tsk, it's so warm."

Heather sat on a chair beside her and said sarcastically.

Barrett slammed his fist on the floor, gritted his teeth and said, "The bastards from Shinra Company actually used Xue Beng as a bait to say 'inciting hostility and propaganda operations', turning Xue Beng into a malicious terrorist in the hearts of the people! "

"Oh? Aren't you?" Heather tilted her head: "The bombed No. [-] Mako Furnace is crying. By the way, is No. [-] Mako Furnace finished?"

"It was blown up, but it wasn't us who did it, but Shinra himself... We were completely taken advantage of by Shinra, and the 'announcement of blowing up No. [-] Mako Furnace' became what they used to manipulate public opinion at will Tool of."

Jesse behind the bar looked frustrated: "We tried our best to escape from the No. [-] magic stove, and Claude..."

Heather seemed to realize that Claude was not here: "Oh, the mercenary is gone, died in battle?"

Hearing Heather's words, no one present refuted, but fell into silence.

For a long time, Barrett pretended to be strong and forced a smile: "That guy is a 'former 1st soldier', his life is very hard! Maybe he is leisurely picking up girls in Midgar right now, and he uses this experience as a Let's talk money!"

At this time, Tifa's voice came from the direction of the door: "Claude...he didn't come back?"

Her face was a little pale. Although she didn't have a mutual relationship with Claude in the original work, Claude may be her only friend from the same country left in this world. Tifa was a little hard to accept when she suddenly heard the bad news of her friend.

"To cover us from guard machine fire, he fell off the edge of the No. [-] Mako Furnace... but I saw him use his claws when he fell, and maybe he just fell to a safe place Maybe?"

Biggs wanted to comfort Tifa, but his voice became lower and lower. He himself didn't believe that Cloud would be safe and sound after falling from the three-hundred-meter-high steel disc.

"In short, Shinra Corporation has declared that Xue Beng is a terrorist sent by the enemy's Wutai. We must prepare for the worst."

Barrett stood up and looked at Heather: "It has caused you and Tifa a lot of trouble for so long, we will leave Qifan Street as soon as possible to find a suitable place to hide."

"Wait a minute, where can you go if you leave now? Think about Marlene, do you want her to be with you in fear?"

Having been with Barrett for three years, Tifa has long regarded Barrett, Marlene, and Jessie as trustworthy family members, and Biggs and Weggy are also very close friends. She couldn't bear to see them being treated like this by God. Luo Company and even the entire Midgar wanted to hunt him down, and looked to Heather for help.

In her heart, as long as her senior brother is around, all problems will be solved.

Heather snorted and waved her hand: "Let's live in the basement of the bar first, Shinra's hand can't reach Qibanjie for the time being."

"...Thank you." Barrett nodded emphatically.

Seeing Jesse's eyes flushed, Tifa couldn't help but feel sorry for her when she remembered the declaration of love that her best friend made not long ago. She walked over and took Jesse in her arms and gently stroked her back.

Heather stood up and stretched, glanced at Jesse who buried her head in Tifa's chest, and said impatiently: "Don't cry, I think Mr. Mercenary deserves to die."

"Really?" Jessie poked her head out of Tifa's chest. She knew that Heather never used nonsense to appease others, so he must have the bottom line when he said that.

Heather walked up to Biggs and knelt down, picked up the gauze to bandage him, and said casually:

"Considering that Mr. Mercenary fell from No. [-] Moko Furnace, maybe he is already near the slums of Fifth Street."

"Fifth Street...?"

Tifa and Jesse looked at each other, thinking of someone.
