Chit-Chat by the Cave Entrance / With Suika, You'll Never Go Hungry!

Suika stood with her hands on her hips while Hoshiguma rubbed her face.

Hoshiguma raised an eyebrow, not denying the point. Whether it was the information obtained from the vanguard who led the way or the Shieldguards who brought up the rear, Suika's help was indispensable in the Reunion Movement's safe breakout this time.

"Speaking of which, you and Old Chen came all the way to Ursus, aren't you afraid that if something happens, Ursus will have an excuse to attack Great Yan?"

Suika looked at Chen Hui-chieh standing next to Talulah in the distance and complained.

Speaking of this, Hoshiguma broke out in a cold sweat as she recalled what she had gone through during this period.

After receiving Talulah's letter asking for help, Chen insisted on coming in person and wouldn't listen to anything she said.

Madam Wen Yue found her and asked her to come with Chen and protect his safety.

However, the dangers along the way far exceeded his expectations.

The opponents that the Reunion Movement faces are not the usual street thugs.

If it weren't for the stroke of luck along the way, I probably would have run right into the enemy's army when I entered Ursus.

Later, they almost accidentally wandered into the territory of the New Reunion Movement.

It took a lot of time to reunite with the Reunion Movement after that.

They had just finished the handover and hadn't even had time to evacuate when they were surrounded by the Ursus army.

If it weren't for Suika's timely arrival, even if a small number of elites managed to break through the encirclement and escape, the Reunion Movement would have been severely weakened after this battle.

Suika then recounted her experiences in Kjerag after their last magical encounter.

"Although most of the photos were sent to Rhodes Island by messengers after I went down the mountain, I kept a few. Look!"

Suika opened her handbag and took out a small photo album, which contained photos of her with other people. Suika flipped to the last page, where she saw a photo of herself, Enya, and Yara on a snowy mountain.

Hoshiguma picked up the photo album and flipped through it, her eyes full of smiles.

The first photo in this personal photo album that Suika kept was taken at home by her insistence on having it taken herself.

Behind them were Lao Chen, Swire, Talulah, and other people I knew or didn't know.

The thickness of this photo album shows how much she has accomplished in the past year or so.

As Hoshiguma flipped through the photos, Suika would introduce the people in each picture as she paused under it.

"Isn't this Rhodes Island organization a medical company for Infected?"

Why did you join them?

After listening to Suika's introduction, Hoshiguma discovered that many of the people there came from that place called Rhodes Island.

But the Rhodes Island she knew was a medical company that dealt with Infected. Thinking of the uprooted forest she saw on the road today and the devastating commotion behind her during the retreat, she looked nervously at Suika.

"What kind of look is that... You don't think I'm Infected, do you...?"

Don't worry, I'm fine.

I joined Rhodes Island because their ideas resonated with me.

Secondly, Rhodes Island has offices in various locations, making communication relatively convenient.

"Using their resources would make gathering intelligence or contacting Lungmen much easier."

Suika's words relieved Hoshiguma.

"What's wrong with that kid? He seems a bit Taihe, and he keeps looking for someone in the crowd?"

At this moment, Hoshiguma pointed to Ularov, who was alone in a carriage not far away.

That child was also a pitiful person.

After a sigh, Suika recounted the events in the Golden Fir Tree Village and how Ularov, in order to come here with Suika, personally cut his arm with Originium, thus transforming himself into Infected.

"Smack!" After hearing Suika's words, Hoshiguma slammed her hand heavily on the ground, her expression extremely angry.

"Those guys from the New Reunion Movement are really going too far."

Chapter 341 Idle Chat by the Cave Entrance

"Who can argue with that!"

Suika also sighed. If it weren't for the New Reunion Movement, this child would probably have grown up peacefully in Golden Fir Tree Village, then joined the army, went to the city, or lived a stable life in the village.

Instead of what they are doing now, risking becoming Infected in order to find their families.

Hoshiguma looked at Ularov

"If he came here to join the Reunion Movement to find his family, why is he sitting there alone?"

"This guy is very opinionated. He didn't completely believe what I said. Look at his eyes, they're constantly scanning the crowd, looking for anyone he knows."

However, judging from his regretful expression, he probably didn't find a single one.

Suika's voice wasn't loud, but it wasn't quiet either; it was loud enough for Ularov to hear.

Upon hearing her voice, Ularov blushed.

He thought he had been discreet enough, but he never expected to end up like a naked dancer on a stage, with everything about him completely exposed to everyone.

He strode up to Suika.

I admit that my previous suspicions about you were wrong.

"Oh, why do you think I wasn't lying to you? What if the Reunion Movement has more than one team, and there are other teams in other places, and it just so happens that people you know are all there?"

Suika didn't hold back in her criticism.

"No..." Ularov shook his head.

"From the beginning until just now, I have indeed been looking for people, but I have also been observing their behavior."

They are completely different from those who attacked our village.

Those guys were ferocious, disorderly, and manic, but here, the elderly, children, and pregnant women were in the middle, surrounded by women in another circle, and men in yet another circle. Everyone was so orderly, and there was no ferocity in their eyes.

Maybe one or two people can pull off these expressions, but so many people... I don't believe they're all faking it.

Then, indeed, I didn't find anyone from the village that I knew, nor did I see anyone who had attacked the village.

Therefore, I am willing to place my trust in you.

After listening to Ularov's words, Suika looked at him.

"To be honest, your trust is worthless to me, but if you really want to try to save your family and the villagers of the Golden Fir Tree, go to Talulah and follow her instructions."

Although Suika's words were hurtful, they were the truth.

Ularov did not refute, but instead walked towards Talulah.

Talulah reached out and patted him on the shoulder after seeing him walk over.

"Suika has already told me about your situation. Now that I know about it, I won't just sit idly by."

However, there are limited things we can do in winter, so we'll probably have to wait until spring, after we've re-established contact with the outside world, before we can help you find them."

After Ularov indicated that he understood, Talulah assigned him to Alina.

For Alina, someone like Ularov, who is still young but has his own opinions and is intelligent, is very useful.

Especially when dealing with a group of children, he can become their "king," effectively helping Alina reduce the trouble caused by the young kids' mischief.

"Long time no see, Suika!" At the doorway, just as Suika and Hoshiguma were chatting, Chen walked over and sat down beside them.

"To be honest, even I think your trip to Ursus was too reckless."

Looking at Chen sitting next to her, Suika's first words made Hoshiguma tense.

"I know what you mean, but Talulah is my family after all... I can't remain indifferent when I hear her plea for help." Hoshiguma looked at Chen in surprise, not expecting that Chen would not refute Suika's words.

Back in Lungmen, Hoshiguma had personally witnessed the fierce argument she had with Governor Wei over her decision to come here.

As a result, your current state in front of Suika is enough to make Governor Wei furious enough to vomit blood.

"What about Governor Wei Madam Wen Yue?"

I have no intention of knowing your private matters, but I believe that Governor Wei of Ursus wouldn't have only brought Hoshiguma with you this time...

Suika looked inside.

She had already spotted several silent figures inside the house. They were dressed in black raincoats and wore straw hats, and were always subtly protecting her from a distance.

Following Suika's gaze, Chen pursed her lips upon seeing the group of people. She knew from the moment she left the city that these people were sent by Wei Yenwu.

At the time, she only thought that Wei Yenwu had sent her to take her back if she encountered any danger.

But during a recent raid, she witnessed one of them being attacked by a bomb dropped by an Ursus drone while trying to protect himself.

At this moment, the person was still receiving treatment inside, and their fate was unknown.

Although Chen is often stubborn and inflexible, he is not incapable of distinguishing right from wrong.

These people are so skilled that they are likely Wei Yenwu's personal guards. He placed them by his side only to protect him. If he doesn't know what's good for him, he might even despise himself.

At this moment, when Suika mentioned Wei Yenwu Wen Yue, she recalled the worried look in Wen Yue's eyes Lungmen, and her heart ached.

"Don't be so dejected. After all, since you've already started, do it well. At least when you go back, you can hold your head high and tell Wei Yenwu that you didn't mess things up."

Seeing that Chen was in low spirits, Suika reached out and patted her on the shoulder.

With a series of heavy footsteps, Suika saw Mudrock emerge from inside.

"Why didn't I see you just now?" Suika recalled that she hadn't seen the other person after entering the cave. Given how conspicuous her equipment was, she shouldn't have missed her.

"After all, there are so many people in this cave. I took some people to reinforce the cave, otherwise it would be troublesome if something went wrong."

The Mudrock's sound was somewhat muffled.

"Will it affect your health?" Suika looked at Mudrock. Although she was the Son of Earth and Stone and had a natural advantage in civil engineering, such a large cave would not be easy for even her to reinforce in all aspects.

Mudrock shook his head

"The medicine works very well; even if you exert yourself a bit, it won't have too much of an impact on your body."

"But it's still best to be careful, after all, medicine is ultimately an external substance."

"I'll be careful."

Hoshiguma came over after watching Suika and Mudrock's question-and-answer session.

"You two have a good relationship?"

"Yeah, Mudrock is my best friend!" Suika said proudly, patting Mudrock's thick protective suit on the back.

"Sisters?" Hoshiguma's eyes widened.

"Hmm, you haven't seen what Mudrock actually looks like?" Suika, somewhat surprised.

Hoshiguma looked at Mudrock curiously. Mudrock took off her helmet, revealing the youthful face of a beautiful girl with white hair and red eyes.

Chapter 342 With Suika, there's no hunger!

Seeing Mudrock put his helmet back on, Hoshiguma shook her head.

Although I've felt a great rapport with this Mudrock these past few days, who the hell would have guessed that beneath those thick clothes was such a beautiful young woman with white hair and red eyes?

Suika chuckled and recounted the amusing incident of how shocked everyone was when Mudrock revealed his true form last time. Hearing Suika's words, Mudrock scratched his helmet somewhat embarrassedly.

"By the way, do we have enough medicine and food here right now?"

Looking back at the bustling crowd inside the cave, Suika suddenly remembered something crucial.

"Speaking of which, we have to thank Miss Chen for the supplies she brought this time." Mudrock looked at Chen beside her, and Chen nodded to her.

"We did experience some shortages of supplies before, the biggest being food, followed by warm clothing."

Ms. Chen brought a considerable amount of food this time, and we were attacked before the food was even unpacked and stored, so we escaped with the food.

This was a stroke of luck amidst the misfortune of this evacuation.

Although we lost a considerable amount of property due to the emergency evacuation, according to Alina's calculations, the current food supply is more than enough to last until spring if we eat sparingly.

Besides, aren't you here?

Mudrock recalled how, before they parted, Suika conjured up a large amount of food with a wave of her hand.

Hoshiguma also looked at Suika with an expression that said, "Don't use that spell recklessly outside."

"Hey, you're right on time. I've come at just the right moment."
