Tallulah?

On the other hand, he didn't want FrostNova to see him kill Talulah...

After a moment of silence, Patriot raised his head once more and gazed at Rhodes Island before him.

He knew, of course, that Rhodes Island couldn't have brought only this many people, but he still believed Talulah's words.

Talulah assured him that Rhodes Island couldn't stop their plans, and that sending him was a deliberate act to give them the wrong impression, making them think this was a dangerous place and thus overlooking the real danger.

Although the Patriot didn't yet know what the danger was...

"I am not... one of you."

The most distinctive characteristic of the Caster race is that they always like to gather in large groups. Even if they are not related by blood, they will treat each other as family and obediently follow the advice of their family members.

Just like their appearance, they are a group of rabbits.

Although Patriot adopted FrostNova, it doesn't mean he joined the Caster family.

"I don't care about your ideas, or the ideas of the Reunion Movement..."

Patriot remained calm as always.

Amiya clearly misunderstood something.

The Reunion Movement led by Patriot is not the Reunion Movement of Talulah.

Patriot want to do is to allow all the oppressed Infected to stand proudly before everyone and declare their identity.

He certainly knew that Talulah would take the Reunion Movement to extremes.

So he had made his own plans.

But he won't tell anyone about these things...

The Reunion Movement is like a blazing fire, and the Patriot know full well that all who try to chase it will be burned to ashes. But... even more terrifying than that is the boundless, sunless darkness...

Patriot does not deny Rhodes Island; in his view, Rhodes Island used a very clever method.

Infected stood up, hand in hand, and searched in the darkness.

Perhaps they cannot see the light yet, but they use other ways to feel each other's presence and strive to find their own spark of light.

Patriot are unsure if this approach might be better.

But...

Rhodes Island...

"Step down..."

The Patriot's voice was calm.

He truly did everything he could for Rhodes Island.

Never before in his military career had he issued so many statements urging an enemy to retreat.

He simply couldn't bear to see a glimmer of hope for the Infected extinguished...

Although Rhodes Island was his enemy, he never denied their position and ideas.

But now, he no longer wants to betray anyone.

Rhodes Island may be a source of hope for the Infected... but it is definitely not his banner.

"This..."

Amiya, standing to the side, was rendered speechless by Patriot's words.

She couldn't find any points to refute the other party.

She could only bite her lip tightly.

But at that moment, a strange sound suddenly rang out.

"Eh? Captain?"

Chapter 184 Talulah?

"Eh? Captain?"

The strange sound immediately drew the attention of everyone present.

The Patriot also turned his head away.

Not far from the group, two people dressed in Yeti Squad costumes walked out strangely.

Instead of approaching rashly, they stood still and began to whisper amongst themselves without any attempt to hide it.

"This place is so strange. First, we couldn't see the sun, then there were monsters everywhere... Now even the captain is hallucinating."

"Yeah, yeah."

The man beside him nodded seriously.

"I think that woman probably had bad intentions! She said she'd allocate a piece of land for us to live in, but after walking around for ages, we're surrounded by weird things... Seriously, why did the boss agree to that?"

How should I know?

His companion shrugged. "But I heard that our Oripathy won't get worse here... I wonder if that's true."

"I don't think it's very credible... Where is there any claim that staying in one place will prevent Oripathy from spreading? If that were true, wouldn't this place have been occupied long ago?" The man clearly shook his head. "The boss definitely knows this, but why would she believe it?"

The two men talked openly and casually, completely ignoring the tense atmosphere between the two groups of people on the other side.

But their words truly captivated the crowd.

Patriot, at this moment, also recognized the two guys.

They are the elite of the Yeti Squad, the handguards of FrostNova.

But...

"Why are you... here?"

Patriot found it hard to believe.

He clearly remembered that when he was chasing Skullshatterer, he had deliberately arranged for the entire Yeti Squad to be present, and that he and Yelena should have been sent to Maria together, right?

How could they possibly be here?

Upon hearing that familiar voice, the members of the Yeti Squad instinctively shuddered and quickly stood at attention.

"Report! It's the boss's order!"

"... Yelena."

The Patriot frowned.

"Was it her who sent you back to provide support?"

"Uh, no..." The Yeti Squad scratched their heads, unsure of what to say. After hesitating for a while, they finally said helplessly, "Our leader sent us to check... to check if the surrounding area is safe."

"Inspect..." Patriot was genuinely puzzled, but he understood one thing.

"Yelena... she's back?"

"Um... our boss is not far from here..."

The Yeti Squad members clearly sensed that Patriot's aura had become somewhat strange, and they timidly spoke up to explain the situation.

Their campsite wasn't far from here; it was just a short walk away.

"..."

Patriot did not reply; he simply fell into a deep silence.

But he still raised his weapon, turned his head, and looked at Rhodes Island, who were also clearly confused about the current situation.

Although Yelena's return was unexpected, that wasn't what he needed to deal with right now.

He stared at the Rhodes Island before him, awaiting their reply.

Retreat, or fight to the death...

Rhodes Island's stance is also very clear.

"We must stop the Reunion Movement."

Kal'tsit spoke, shielding the Doctor and Amiya behind her.

She stared at the Patriot in front of her, her mind racing as she tried to figure out what to do next.

At this moment, the disheveled members of Lungmen also came out.

The Rhodes Island crew members standing nearby showed slight joy upon seeing their return.

But even faster, Chen's words killed everyone's hopes.

"Talulah... she wants to drag everyone to hell!"

At the highest point of Platform 17, a white-haired woman stood tall at the top.

From this position, she could easily see what was happening on Platform 17.

The chaotic Reunion Movement is wriggling everywhere like swarms of maggots.

The raging flames continued to burn the entire city.

Soldiers from Lungmen are trying to draw the attention of the Reunion Movement.

She could clearly see that once a battle broke out somewhere, the white dots in other areas would frantically rush towards the opposing side.

It was surrounded by a dense mass of people...

And she just watched quietly.

She had an extremely beautiful face, a slender body wrapped in a simple black dress, and long, white legs wearing a pair of unusual high heels.

This made her look both elegant and terrifying.

A smile graced her face as she silently observed the chaotic, catastrophe-like world. Her once captivating appearance now possessed a strange, alluring quality.

The shadow beneath my feet swayed and flickered.

But her composure was quickly shattered by a series of vulgar words.

"Damn it... you Sarkaz swear word! I'm not going anywhere! Put me down!"

The woman turned her head and looked in the direction from which the sound came.

Not far away, a tall woman was carrying W, whom she had just driven away, back with her in her arms.

At the same time, the other person also clearly saw me.

Calm gray pupils, seemingly possessing the power to see through people's true nature.

"Who are you?"

Talulah asked curiously.

"... Perhaps this isn't a custom here, but I still hope that before asking who the other person is, you'll state your own identity... even if it's a false identity."

Maria sighed silently.

She didn't know if it was a regional issue, but sometimes she really wanted to find someone she could have a proper conversation with, instead of people coming up to her and asking who she was.

As she spoke, she quietly placed the w, which had already completed its mission, aside and moved closer to the other party.

But this unconventional answer did pique Talulah's interest in the woman before her.

She turned around to face W and Maria, whose faces were tense and fierce.

"Is this some kind of excuse you prepared to attract me? I have to admit, I am indeed interested in you."

"Arrogant words won't make you appear to be in control; they serve no purpose other than to annoy people."

Maria wasn't particularly bad with words, and she was in no way inferior to Talulah in terms of eloquence.

This made Talulah's smile even more alluring and bizarre.

The flames behind him began to flicker restlessly.

She took a step forward, her slender white legs standing out starkly against the surrounding charred black atmosphere, her shimmering eyes carrying a captivating and alluring charm.

Her hands hung at her sides, swaying gently, causing the hem of her skirt to sway.
