Cyberpunk: Spartan Walker

Chapter 221 Rescue (Seventeen)
The colonel tilted his head in confusion, "Ellie?"

Carter was also curious about this, but the discipline in the military did not allow him to show it, let alone the fact that he was dealing with people from the Military Intelligence Agency - he couldn't ask anything he shouldn't.

The crisp sounds of broken glass were heard one after another, and a wellhead leading to the underground slowly opened, and the glass shards and humus nearby fell into the dark underground like rain.

Carter took the lead and jumped in, followed by others.

This is the interior of an old-fashioned elevator. The gray-black ladder walls are so smooth that they can be reflected in their appearance.A sound of mechanical closing came from above the head, and then the sunlight in Eridanus disappeared, the entrance to the elevator was closed, and the dark yellow light lit up with a "pop".

"Where's George?" the colonel asked, leaning against the wall.He seemed to be avoiding touching his right shoulder. The armor there was badly damaged and a white bandage was faintly exposed underneath. "He didn't come over?"

"He is now our full-time nanny," Emil said sarcastically, "and he is doing quite well."

"nanny?"

"We took a group of children with us during the retreat, 26 in total," Carter explained.

"Jesus," the colonel muttered, "that sounds like something he would do."

After the elevator descended about 400 meters, with a low roar and a "ding" prompt, the elevator door opened.After Colonel Price walked out, he looked up and stared at the virtual blue sky here for two full seconds.

"I didn't expect it could be used like this. He is such a good nanny." He commented, and then went to say hello to George who came out to find out.They eagerly flashed a "Spartan smile" on their helmet panels, and then the colonel shook his head at the astonished children.

He returned to the corridor and said to Carter: "You make final preparations and arrange these children. I am going to the gamma level. Liga will lend me a temporary lease."

Carter was confused by the female name. "Li Jia?" He thought for a moment and couldn't remember who in the team had the nickname "Li Jia". "Sorry, sir, I didn't understand what you meant."

"Huh?" Colonel Price's tone was a little surprised. He turned his head and stared at No. [-], who had been following him. "She didn't tell you?"

"Sir, 'she'?" Carter was stunned for a moment and confirmed to Tommy.

"Am I speaking Sangheili?" the colonel made a rare joke, "Lidya, I told you, there is no need to hide such insignificant information, they will not exclude you for this."

Everyone focused their attention on No. [-], and the atmosphere froze for a moment.

Number [-] turned around and looked at everyone, shrugged, reached out and took off his helmet with a pop.

The children who were huddled by the door and peeping their heads burst out in exclamation, and George couldn't help but sigh in a low voice: "Oh my God."

Silver-white short hair spread out in the air, No. [-]'s mouth pursed slightly, and he nodded towards them without a trace of a smile.

The members of the noble team stared blankly at her movements, and Carter couldn't help but feel a surge of fear in his heart.

Damn it, why didn't I find it? ****
Warhammer Base, go to the elevator to the Gamma Level.

"It's very bad what you did," Tommy lowered his head slightly and muttered dissatisfiedly to Liga, who was standing in front of him, "Any Spartan team is a combat group with a high degree of unity, mutual assistance, and trust. In the case of executing extremely difficult tasks, it is even more necessary to maintain good, close, and deep interpersonal relationships between everyone, you know? Not only that, you."

Lijia raised her head innocently, staring at the chattering Tommy with her amber eyes, with a smile on her lips.Her short silver-white hair trembled slightly with the vibration of the elevator.The slender and light scar next to the left corner of the eye not only does not destroy the overall beauty, but adds a bit of color due to the stretch of the nearby muscles.

Whenever he saw her pretty face, Tommy would think of the endless golden wheat fields on the Harvest Star, the slowly rising sun on the skyline, the fragrance of rice and sweet fruit juice floating in the wind, and the beauty of the Harvest Star. The warmth of sunlight.

As if being burned by the heat in her eyes, Tommy couldn't help blinking his eyes, and pretended to be sulky and said: "Why are you laughing? I'm lecturing you."

"Yes." As if she had seen through his disguise, Lijia responded lightly, not caring about his attitude at all.

Then her eyes swept down and stopped at a certain place, and the smile on her face suddenly faded a lot.Tommy followed her gaze and saw that it was his injured shoulder.The molten titanium alloy and blackened flesh have been treated with debridement, but it will take several days for that muscle group to fully recover, which may affect the rest of the battle.

Tommy couldn't help but take a deep breath. He always couldn't bear it in front of her. Maybe it was because they knew each other too well from the Harvest Star.

She knew that he wasn't really angry, and he also knew that he was talking nonsense. She must know all these things, but he couldn't help but repeat them over and over again, all for the sake of seeing him after a certain mission. each other.

"I'm fine there. I've received treatment. Speaking of which, what are you saying 'um'? Did you listen to what I said?"

"I listened, teacher." Lijia stretched out her hand and brushed her fingertips over the rough, hard and uneven battle damage on his armor, with a bit of unbearable expression in her eyes.

Hearing this title, Tommy was stunned - the reunion after three months (for him) seemed like yesterday.This title has a long history, and Lijia would only call him this in private.

Lijia was selected into the Military Intelligence Bureau after completing the III-phase Spartan recruit training. At his request, Lijia was transferred to his department to work. It has been 8 years like this - until one month The former Colonel Holland asked him to borrow people because the Noble Squad was short of manpower, so he temporarily transferred Liga to the Noble Squad.

The overweight feeling coming from his legs brought him back from his thoughts. With a "ding" sound, the elevator reached the gamma level.

The elevator door slowly opened, and they walked out side by side, walked through the corridor, and stopped in front of the silver door of the incubation room.

"Lijia, guard in front of this door and don't let anyone in."

Not taking the initiative to explain the reason for the order to her meant that it was confidential, and Lijia knew this very well.So she nodded, walked to the side of the door consciously, and stood up straight.

Tommy breathed out, "Ellie, open the door."

The silver-white door first made a mechanical unlocking sound, and then slowly opened upwards with a "click-click" sound, and Tommy walked in.

　Sorry everyone, recent updates are unstable.
