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. The formal and serious look made Xiao Ran a little embarrassed to continue sitting steadily, but stood up and supported Tessa.
"What do you mean?"
Xiao Ran may understand Tessa's thoughts, not only to allow them to evacuate during the operation just now so that they can escape the trap, but also not entirely because of his powerful combat ability to allow the retreating Mithril mercenaries to safely evacuate during the operation. Choosing this place to make such a move in front of some enemies who do not belong to Mithril also has a deeper meaning.
Tessa raised her head and smiled slightly, "I just want to express my gratitude to you. Thanks to you, we found the traitor in Danner's Son and prevented us from falling into their trap. Otherwise, I really don't know what to do."
"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 is up to you. If you don't mind, you can let El-Elf watch them here."
Tessa pursed her lips and smiled at El-Elf, "Then I'd like to trouble Mr. El-Elf. Something like this happened on the ship. Mr. El-Elf's power is still very credible. Then Mr. Alex, don't you want to know what their purpose is?"
"I can probably guess that if I ask anything else, El-Elf will tell me." After finishing speaking, Xiao Ran walked to Jiulong, patted Jiulong's shoulder and smiled at Tessa: "And these guys don't look like people who can answer questions obediently. I won't waste time here. I feel a little tired after fighting for a while, and I want to take a good rest."
"Fortunately."
Tessa glanced at Xiao Ran embarrassedly. The battle just now was almost fought by Xiao Ran alone from start to finish. Except for Sousuke Sagara who actually fought with the enemy, the other people It basically felt like a day trip to the island. After one trip, they started to retreat without doing anything. It was originally a mission belonging to their mithril, but it ended up being solved by Xiao Ran alone. Tessa was still a little embarrassed at this point.
When Xiao Ran came out of the confinement room, he went directly to the room prepared for him on Danner's Son. Before he entered the room, he heard the roar of Chidori. When he entered the room, he saw Sousuke Sagara standing upright in the small room, sweating profusely, listening to the roar of Chidori.
After seeing Xiao Ran, Chidori just punched Sousuke Sagara in the stomach, then sat down on the bed with a groan, and whispered something to Yani who had already woken up, Xiao Ran had just come in, and he didn't know how Sousuke Sagara provoked this seemingly fiery but actually very kind girl. He just looked at Sousuke Sagara, who was hunched over and covering his stomach, and gave the other party a look of asking for blessings.
Sousuke Sagara glanced at Xiao Ran clearly, nodded silently, and had the feeling of seeing a warrior who was gone forever.
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 Yani, asking, "How are you? Do you feel better?"
"Yes." Yani nodded slightly, gently pulled the quilt with both hands and whispered, "I don't know why I fainted just now. Am I causing trouble for you now?"
"How could that happen?" Xiao Ran smiled and touched Yani'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 expression. He then looked at Sousuke 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 dumbly. With Sousuke Sagara's temperament, I'm afraid he didn't even know what he was thinking. It was even more impossible for him to take the initiative to say something nice.
Only a silly girl like Chidori would look forward to truly traveling alone with Sousuke Sagara, expecting Sousuke Sagara to 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, he rubbed his head and said to Xiao Ran, "Brother, after I woke up, I found that there seemed to be a lot more things in my head, and I felt a little uncomfortable with the swelling."
"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. He could only help Yani to lie down again and said, "Let Chidori stay with you for a while, and ask Colonel Tessa to come over and explain it after the things are done. I'm not sure about this aspect either."
"Yeah." Yani nodded obediently.
Xiao Ran looked at Chidori who seemed to be holding back a lot of words and wanted to vent. After smiling, he pulled Sousuke Sagara out of the room and found a bench for Sousuke Sagara After sitting down and guarding the door, Xiao Ran threw a pistol and handed it to Sousuke Sagara, asking Sousuke Sagara to guard the door while he found a place to rest.
Several hours had passed by the time I woke up again. Although the previous battle was simple, maybe it was due to the body's fault, or maybe it was not wearing Combat Suit, so Xiao Ran's body was still under a certain amount of pressure. After resting for a while, the body felt a lot more relaxed.
Stretching leisurely, Xiao Ran opened the door and walked out. He first went to check on Yani, and found that Sousuke Sagara who was originally guarding the door had been replaced by Luo who was doing nothing. He was happily playing with a game console, and Yani had also fallen asleep in the room.
Xiao Ran, who did not disturb Yani, quietly retreated from the room, asked Luo to take a good look at Yani, and then headed to the direction of the bridge. Before he could reach the place, he saw Tessa and Richard talking and walking hurriedly in his direction.
Seeing the two people in a hurry, Xiao Ran also said hello to them and asked, "What's the matter? What happened?"
Tessa sighed, "It's nothing. It's just about this mission. What happened on the island has been spread. The United States not only requires us to hand over these captured people to them, but also requires us to cooperate with their subsequent retaliatory actions. After all, we accepted the mission, but the mission was considered a failure. Now the top management has been having a headache."
"Retaliation? Isn't this quite normal." Xiao Ran nodded in sudden realization and said, "If such a big thing happened, all the personnel of a military base were sacrificed and the base was reduced to rubble, of course the United States will take certain actions. There is nothing wrong with this."
"This is not the focus of the problem." Richard shook his head and said with an ugly expression, "Now it has been confirmed that the machines that appeared on the island are the third generation AS manufactured by Soviet Union. The United States does not believe it at all. What we are saying is that Amalgam is the real mastermind of this time, and placing the target on Soviet Union tells us that even if there is an organization like Amalgam, it must be an organization supported by Soviet Union behind the scenes..."
Tessa took over the conversation with a serious look on her face. "So if it doesn't go well, it might trigger an all-out war between the two superpowers, 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 goal and not trigger a bigger war."
"So far, the U. S. military has made a lot of noise, and its troops have begun to gather. In response, Soviet Union has also begun to move its troops to the border, seeking help from allies in surrounding countries, and may start a war at any time."
"Is it just what happened in the few hours when I was asleep?" Xiao Ran was confused when he heard Tessa's words. He did not expect that things would develop to such an extent, and the speed was even more unexpected. It was not in line with the normal development law at all. The attitude of the United States was too firm, and it was inexplicably firm.
"Yes." Tessa sighed and nodded helplessly, "If Soviet Union starts a war with the United States, the possibility of it developing into a world war is very, very high. By that time, we Mithril will be really powerless, and we will not be able to play any role in such a war with our own strength."
"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. Haven't you ever thought about why it keeps denying the existence of amalgam?"
"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, that is already the best and best reason."
"The reason has appeared, so what's left is the person who can decide to start the war. With the power of Amalgam, it doesn't seem to be as difficult as imagined to influence certain people."
