Chapter 181
The military power of the Commercial Union is still not as strong as that of the Military Committee and the Church.
After all, the Silverlance Pegasi of Kazimierz was not under the control of the Commercial Union.
However, this is only relatively speaking. Although the Commercial Union does not control Kazimierz's trump card, it has a bunch of competitive knights under its command, and these people are not to be trifled with.
"Boss, I don't really recommend doing that."
Texas followed suit, offering her assessment. "We're outnumbered and unfamiliar with the terrain. Sending us on a frontal assault is less than ideal; we'd be better off finding a place to eat."
"Of course I know."
Han Fei raised an eyebrow, giving him a "I'm not that reckless" look. "We definitely have no reason to storm the Commercial Union; we're just taking advantage of the chaos to grab a meal."
Upon hearing this, the two women's expressions softened considerably. They were genuinely afraid that Han Fei might suddenly go mad and launch a fierce attack on the Commercial Union.
This is definitely not something a team of three can do.
However, concerns remain.
"Then, what about evacuation?" Texas asked.
Theresa softly echoed, "Yes, we can't just think about food; we should also consider evacuation."
Han Fei said, "Evacuation shouldn't be a big problem, right?"
There are four ways to evacuate from the top-secret Brakkesh: dropping the package, using a flying mouse, pulling the switch, and Doctor. Evacuation.
Although Han Fei couldn't find where to accept the Doctor's mission, the corresponding evacuation points were still marked on the map.
The location of the flying squirrel and the permanent evacuation point is not far. Although Han Fei has not yet been there, so it is still dark, there is still enough time. He can go and scout ahead, open the map, and find out what the situation is.
"No, I mean, what about our evacuation plan after we enter the Commercial Union headquarters?" Theresa's eyes flashed with curiosity. "If we are discovered, it might be difficult to stay in the Grand Knight Territory, so we'll probably have to evacuate immediately, right?"
"I thought so."
Han Fei said quite seriously, "After we finish eating, we'll leave immediately."
Seeing this, the two wanted to say something more, but Han Fei spoke first, "Now you're asking me for a detailed plan, but I really can't come up with one. I'm not familiar with the situation either. I just have this idea. As for the specifics, we'll have to do some reconnaissance first before we can formulate a plan, right?"
Seeing this, Theresa and Texas were completely relieved. They were not afraid of fighting, but out of concern for Han Fei, they naturally did not want Han Fei rashly or do anything that would be like throwing an egg against a rock.
However, Theresa still had some other concerns and asked, "I have one last question."
"What's wrong?" Han Fei said. "Go ahead and ask."
What will happen to them?
Theresa asked, "If we're discovered, they'll definitely be held accountable."
"Tsk."
Han Fei scratched his head and admitted, "I really forgot about that."
"You."
Theresa looked at Han Fei with some helplessness. Her age and a century of experience had allowed her to see too many people and things, and to experience all sorts of situations.
Han Fei's reaction at this moment was all too easy to understand.
It's obvious that after seeing the situation of the infected people here, he became somewhat impulsive and wanted to retaliate against the Commercial Union.
That's why there isn't a complete plan.
Han Fei thought for a moment and said, "Let's tell them the truth later. We can't let them know nothing."
Theresa looked into Han Fei's eyes and suddenly said, "Now you feel conflicted?"
"There really is a bit."
Han Fei sighed, "Now that I think about it, if we had been discovered doing this, they would most likely have faced retaliation."
After Han Fei in Kazimierz, he stayed with Fartooth.
He didn't bother to hide his whereabouts; he swaggered around with Fartooth almost everywhere he went.
In the Grand Knight Territory, the base of the Commercial Union, Han Fei didn't think the Commercial Union would be unable to find out even this little bit of information.
"So you need to be patient and not let your emotions get the better of you."
Theresa didn't blame Han Fei, but gently comforted him, saying, "You're not alone after all. When something happens, you have to consider other people."
"Texas and I don't mind supporting you, and we can handle the consequences. But it's different for them; they still have to live in Kazimierz."
At this point, Theresa paused, then asked with some curiosity, "Or are you planning to take them back to the Special Operations Center as well?"
Texas frowned slightly upon hearing this.
She had always supported Han Fei bringing people back to the Special Operations Center. After all, from the time it was just her and Han Fei to the current Special Operations Center, which was already quite large, Texas had never objected to Han Fei bringing people back to the Special Operations Center.
From Laterano to Kazdel, Texas has consistently supported Han Fei's decisions.
But the Special Operations Center is not quite the same as it used to be.
At this point, the Special Operations Center was already well-staffed. In Texas's view, Han Fei should not have brought everyone he met home, but rather hired some logistics personnel with professional skills.
Someone like Closure would be quite good.
There were simply too many combat personnel.
However, if Han Fei really wants to continue bringing people home, Texas won't openly object; at most, they'll exchange opinions privately.
Therefore, even though Texas wanted to persuade him, she didn't speak up directly. If Han Fei really agreed, she would just discuss it with him privately later.
"Uh, I don't plan on that."
Han Fei replied truthfully, "There are already quite a few people in the Special Operations Center, aren't there?"
If you include Closure, the current Special Operations Center has enough resources to operate a Beacon Point team and a Large Battlefield team!
There's really no need to bring every operator you meet home. For example, the Pinus Sylvestris, their life paths are actually quite good.
I have partners, and I have a career.
By staying in Kazimierz, they can help even more infected people.
At least until the next Knights Tournament, their help to the Kazimierz infected has been significant.
Instead of taking them back to the Special Operations Center, we should help them where we can.
Upon hearing this, Texas's furrowed brows relaxed.
--It's always a good thing that our boss is so rational.
"So, how you balance that depends on your problem-solving skills."
Theresa blinked and said matter-of-factly, "After all, you're our boss."
Then, she gently comforted you, "However, if there really isn't a better way, we will still help you."
"OK."
Han Fei shrugged and said, "Well then, let's talk about infiltrating the Commercial Union later. For now, let's search."
"Good."
Texas responded, straightened up, and said, "I'll call you if anything happens."
"Um."
Theresa responded softly.
The three parted ways again shortly afterward.
Han Fei continued his search in the small "Blues Mountain City," both for loot and for infected people he could rescue.
Sure enough, after searching three more buildings, he finally found two infected people he could rescue. They looked like a couple, and they were quite young, around thirty years old.
When the needle of the Hormone Gun precisely pierced the side of one person's neck, emitting that "beep beep" sound that signified the revival of life, Han Fei's tense heartstrings finally relaxed slightly—this was no easy feat.
Initially, he thought he could find more lives to save, but the reality was that the vast majority of infected people had already missed the best time for rescue. At this moment, successfully saving even one life is extremely precious.
As the medicine was injected, the young man's eyelids fluttered a few times before he slowly opened them. A look of confusion flashed in his eyes, as if he couldn't comprehend what was happening. The next second, his memory returned, and he abruptly sat up, looking around in alarm—
Just then, they saw Han Fei plunge the second Hormone Gun into his lover's chest.
"What are you doing?!" the man blurted out, his voice filled with fear and anger.
"Shut up." Han Fei didn't turn his head, his voice calm to the point of being cold. "Do you still want to save your wife?"
"I..."
The man was speechless at the blunt words, and instantly realized that the person in front of him was trying to save him. He immediately fell silent, held his breath, and stared intently at Han Fei's every move, his hands unconsciously clenching the hem of his clothes.
Before long, the familiar "beep beep" sounded again.
Soon, as the beeping stopped, the woman on the ground trembled slightly and slowly opened her eyes.
Han Fei landed, packed up the equipment, and stood up. "All done."
Before she could finish speaking, the man behind her rushed over excitedly, embracing his wife who had just regained consciousness tightly, his voice choked with emotion. "Thank goodness, you're alright, thank goodness..."
Han Fei watched this scene, his lips twitching almost imperceptibly. He then silently turned around, preparing to leave quietly, giving the couple who had survived the ordeal some space.
"Please wait a moment!"
A woman's weak but urgent voice came from behind him. Han Fei paused and turned around.
"My benefactor," she leaned against her husband, looking at him earnestly, "We still don't know your name."
"Yes," the man quickly echoed, his tone sincere and firm, "We may not have anything of value to repay you, but please believe us, we will forever remember this life-saving grace. We will definitely repay you no matter what!"
My name is Han Fei.
Han Fei raised an eyebrow and said, "As for repaying, forget it, it's unnecessary. Alright, I still need to check on the other houses, so I'll be going now."
Upon hearing this, the two fell silent. They knew that there were many more people who needed help, so they didn't try to persuade Han Fei to stay. Instead, they watched Han Fei leave with grateful eyes.
Han Fei bid farewell to the two and continued his search and rescue efforts.
This is really not easy. Han Fei clearly remembers that last time in Kazdel, Hedley's rescue time was quite long.
From the time he lay on the ground until Han Fei rescued him, that short period of time would be enough for an operator to be reprimanded eight times over in the Delta Force.
But Hedley didn't smell bad for so long, and he even managed to hold on until Han Fei rescued him.
This time, Han Fei almost universally disapproved of everyone he encountered, and there were very few he could actually save.
So much so that Han Fei couldn't help but wonder if the time available for rescue was related to specific combat capabilities.
However, it's hard to say for sure. After all, Han Fei wasn't sure exactly when these people died. Perhaps they had been dead for a while, but Han Fei late, which is why Hedley seemed different?
But no matter what, Han Fei's initial assumption was indeed wildly wrong. He thought it was a choice between saving or not saving, but who knew that there was no choice at all!
After another thirty minutes of searching and rescue, Han Fei finally gave up.
The process had dragged on for so long that Han Fei had essentially stopped seeing anyone he could rescue.
Every single one of these people on the ground was a corpse.
In this situation, Han Fei really didn't have any good solutions. After all, no matter how effective the continent's mechanisms were, there was still time for rescue.
Once time passes, it will be completely beyond saving.
That's why, this time, Mingming had a whole small "Blues Mountain City" where he could eat to his heart's content.
Han Fei couldn't feel happy at all.
This place is not the Blues Mountain City; it's a slum, a darkness untouched by the neon lights of Kazimierz.
The infected already had a miserable life, and now they had to be wiped out by the assassins of the Armorless Union.
Misfortune truly only finds its way to those who are destined for hardship.
After a while, Han Fei felt that he had searched enough, so he turned around and went back to meet up with them.
When they returned to the starting point, Theresa and Texas were already waiting there, as was Chastina, but Sona was nowhere to be seen.
Han Fei walked up to the three of them and asked, "Where's Sona?"
"She's dealing with a minor dispute," Chastina replied. "You've been taking a little too long."
"Because we saved some people."
As Han Fei spoke, he couldn't help but sigh, "The situation along the way has been far from ideal."
Han Fei wasn't heartless; seeing so many innocent corpses, how could he possibly be in a good mood?
These words immediately created a somber atmosphere.
