Transmigrated NPC, But Arknights Chapter 45

So without a word, the thugs attacked the girl.

"What's that noise?"

"An engine? Damn it, the officers are chasing us, those hateful black bugs..."

"Damn it, we took the stuff and ran, what about this woman?"

"Just leave her here, who cares, if she dies, she dies!"

When Bai Ye and Skadi stopped the car, they only saw the messy footprints left in the snow, a few black dots fleeing in panic, and the girl curled up on the ground.

Hot blood flowed from the wound, dyeing the nearby snow red.

"Did we arrive?" Skadi looked around with some confusion.

"Outside the village, within a five-mile radius, this is where the most people gather..." Bai Ye jumped out of the car and walked towards the girl lying on the ground.

"She's not dead..." Skadi's senses were extremely sharp, and she could naturally hear the girl's weak breathing.

"If we leave her any longer, she won't be saved." Bai Ye knew that the physical condition of Terra's people in Arknights Online was astonishing. Even ordinary Perro people had terrifying vitality and self-healing abilities.

But even so, leaving a severely injured girl in the snow for a long time would cause her to die from blood loss and cold.

"An Elafia..." Bai Ye gently picked up the girl.

"Are you going to save her?" Skadi tilted her head.

Bai Ye looked at the nearly unconscious girl: "She's quite cute, isn't she? She's the first living person we've encountered since entering the snowfield."

As he spoke, he put the Elafia into the vehicle and placed her on the back seat.

"Skadi, help her stop the bleeding first. We need to find a place to set up camp."

Bai Ye drove towards a place where the wind was less noisy, while Skadi began to look for bandages...

It was warm.

It was bright.

In a daze, the girl gradually regained consciousness, but her thoughts were still chaotic...

What happened?

Oh, right, she was attacked.

Several Infected had used violence against her and stolen the food she had exchanged from the village.

It hurt...

It was cold...

As a knowledgeable teacher, she knew the fate that awaited her.

Death.

So, death was such a light and comfortable thing.

No pain, no sorrow.

Only warmth.

The pain was only temporary. Where was she now? Perhaps in the teachings of Laterano, this place was called... heaven?

She vaguely heard the conversation of strangers.

"How is her condition?"

"Her abdomen was pierced, her left hand was fractured, her right hand was almost torn off, she lost a lot of blood, and her Oripathy flared up... but luckily, the critical period has passed."

"Land dwellers are so weak. An Abyssal Hunter would heal from such injuries in a moment and continue fighting..."

"We can't compare to you..."

"Well, but you're a doctor?"

"No, I just recently learned. I didn't expect it to be useful... Fortunately, it's something I can handle, and there are emergency medicines in the car."

"Her breathing is relatively stable, and she's still receiving a blood transfusion... she shouldn't die."

"Die..."

Death... Wait!

She didn't want to die...

She couldn't die!

"I can't die... If I die, who will pull her back from over there?!"

"!"

The chaotic consciousness gradually returned to clarity.

The sounds in her ears became clearer.

Pain stimulated her body.

The girl suddenly opened her eyes.

"You're awake..."

Bai Ye stood up, walked to the stretcher, and looked at the girl who had woken up.

She had long silver hair and delicate, tree-branch-like horns.

Bai Ye was very gratified. His medical knowledge and skills were quite useful; he had successfully pulled this little deer back from the clutches of death.

She had passed the most dangerous stage. From now on, it would just be a matter of time and Elafia's constitution.

"Who are you guys?" The girl wanted to sit up but found her body completely weak, her hands fixed with splints, unable to move.

"Just passing travelers... Hmm, don't move around. You need to rest." Bai Ye took out medical equipment and began to check the girl's condition. He seemed like a professional doctor—if one ignored the medical books open beside him.

In fact, basic medical knowledge alone wasn't enough. Bai Ye had crammed emergency knowledge in a short period, and Skadi, who had experienced many battles, also contributed her battlefield first-aid experience.

"Thank you for saving me."

The girl played dumb.

Being intelligent, she knew without thinking that these two were hiding their identities. On this frozen land, where could travelers be found?

This was no tourist spot.

Chapter Twenty-Eight Alina

After another battle, Talulah, along with her soldiers and Shieldbearers, defeated the Infected patrol team that had been drawn to them.

They had even routed an entire reinforcement squad.

This was even without FrostNova and Big Daddy present.

However, Talulah felt no sense of relief. She had an ominous premonition because she heard that some children were crying, saying their sister hadn't returned...

Unease and anxiety surged in her heart.

It wasn't until a Shieldbearer told her that the surviving patrol members had fled in the eastern direction.

East...

Talulah remembered that her friend was in that direction. She wanted to go and trade for some vegetables and fruits.

So Talulah dashed out.

At this moment, the powerful life born from the fusion of two top royal bloodlines—Dolak and the Yan Dragon race—unleashed its astonishing latent energy.

With one stomp, the accumulated snow instantly soared into the air. The powerful kinetic energy even caused it to momentarily hang in mid-air.

Astonishing heat emanated from the girl's body, and snowflakes melted before they could even approach her.

However, the girl was unaware of the changes happening to her body. She had simply forgotten everything and ran desperately towards the east.

After an unknown amount of time, she stopped.

Even though the snow had covered the tracks, she could still smell the lingering scent of blood in the air, and that familiar scent. Yes, the Red Dragon's sense of smell was very keen.

She knelt on the ground, waved away the newly accumulated loose snow, and saw a shallow pit faintly stained with dark red, even black, blood.

Yes, the girl's figure was too petite and delicate, so she could only leave such shallow indentations on the ground.

For a moment, Talulah almost fainted, but she quickly gritted her teeth and endured.

"No... this isn't right... it can't be..."

"There are no bodies here. You'll be fine, right... Alina..."

"Your name is Alina?"

Bai Ye fed the hot soup to the girl, whose hands were immobilized, spoonful by spoonful.

Skadi sat aside with great interest. As a happy little killer whale, she could easily find amusement for herself.

For example, she remembered how their captain used to shove food directly into the mouths of the injured... Anyway, as an Abyssal Hunter, being alive was good enough. She didn't know when she might go mad.

So, at critical moments, she was quite uninhibited.

"Yes, my name is Alina. I'm from a nearby village... a teacher. Thank you..."

Alina thanked him again. She felt she had met very kind people. They didn't even care about her Infected status... and this medicine...

The girl's peripheral vision caught sight of the Oripathy inhibitor medicine placed on the ground nearby.

She had never seen packaging like that, nor the logo.

The effects of this medicine are also quite potent.

What is the background of these two people...

What do they want to do?

"Where do you live? Which village? We'll take you back right now."

After Bai Ye finished feeding her the hot soup, he took a towel and wiped Alina's face before speaking.

"Uh... no need to trouble you..." the girl subconsciously wanted to refuse.

After all, the place she came from was no ordinary "village."

Bai Ye looked at the girl with a strange gaze, then tested her temperature. "No inflammation or fever... What nonsense are you talking about? With your small frame, you want to go back alone with such a serious injury? The wind and snow outside are heavy."

"It wasn't easy for us to save you, so don't go throwing your life away..."

"It wasn't easy" referred to Bai Ye using the girl as a sparring partner, though of course, he couldn't say such a thing directly...

"..." Alina felt a bit ashamed. These two had saved her life, yet she was still hiding things.

She could sense goodwill from the two of them.

Making up her mind, the girl spoke, "Actually, I come from a group composed of Infected... we call ourselves 'Reunion'."

After saying this, she carefully observed the reactions of the two people in front of her.

Bai Ye and Skadi exchanged a glance.

Well, it seemed they hadn't saved the wrong person after all.

"But she's very weak... Isn't Reunion made up of warriors?" Skadi looked Alina up and down.

This child is not a warrior.
