After Tessa entered the confinement room, Xiao Ran turned around and smiled at Tessa. Tessa then walked towards Xiao Ran with a serious expression and bowed to Xiao Ran in front of so many people. Xiao Ran felt a little embarrassed to continue sitting there. Instead, she stood up and supported Tessa. Tessa then walked towards Xiao Ran and bowed to Xiao Ran in front of so many people.
"What's the meaning of this?"
Perhaps Xiao Ran understood Tessa's thoughts. It wasn't just because she wanted them to escape from the trap, nor was it because of his powerful combat ability that allowed the retreating Mithril mercenaries to retreat safely. There was also a deeper meaning behind her actions in front of the enemies who weren't Mithril mercenaries.
Tessa raised her head and smiled. "I just wanted to express my gratitude to you. Thanks to you, we were able to find the traitor in the Son of Dan Slave and avoid falling into their trap. Otherwise, I really wouldn't know what to do."
"It's fine. As a partner, your loss is my loss." Xiao Ran smiled inexplicably. He glanced at the restrained and gloomy Jiu and said, "Then I'll leave the rest to you. If you don't mind, you can have El Erf keep an eye on them."
Tessa pursed her lips and smiled, "Then I'll have to trouble Mister Elelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelel
"I can guess. If you ask anything else, El Erf will tell me." Xiao Ran walked up to Jiu and patted him on the shoulder. He smiled at Tessa and said, "And these guys don't look like people who will obediently answer questions. I won't waste my time here. I'm tired after fighting for a while. I want to take a good rest."
"Thank you for your hard work."
Tessa looked at Xiao Ran embarrassedly. The battle just now was fought by Xiao Ran from beginning to end. Apart from Sosuke Xiangliang, who actually fought the enemy, the others felt like they were just taking a day trip on the island. They didn't do anything before retreating. The mission originally belonged to the Mithril, but it ended up being taken care of by Xiao Ran alone. Tessa felt a little embarrassed about it.
When Xiao Ran came out of the confinement room, he went directly to the room prepared for him on the Dan Slave's Son. Before he even entered the room, he heard Chidori's roar. When he entered the room, he saw Sosuke Xiangliang standing straight in the narrow room. He was sweating profusely as he listened to Chidori's roar.
When he saw Xiao Ran, Chidori punched Sosuke Xiangliang in the stomach. Then he snorted and sat on the bed, whispering something to Yani, who had already woken up. Xiao Ran just came in. He didn't know how Sosuke Xiangliang had provoked this hot-tempered but kind-hearted girl. He just looked at Sosuke Xiangliang, who was bending over and clutching his stomach, and gave him a look that said, "Good luck."
Sosuke Xiangliang looked at Xiao Ran with understanding and nodded silently. It was as if he was a hero who would never return.
Shaking his head with a smile, Xiao Ran couldn't be bothered to pay attention to this silly fellow. He walked to the bed and looked at Yani, asking, "How are you feeling? Are you feeling better?"
"En." Yani nodded slightly. She pulled at the blanket with both hands and said softly, "I don't know why I fainted just now. Did I bring you trouble?"
"How could that be?" Xiao Ran smiled and patted Yani's head, saying, "Be good and don't let your thoughts run wild. Just rest well."
"Ai." Chidori listened to the conversation between the two and sighed helplessly. She looked at Sosuke Xiangliang, who was standing by the door like a target. She muttered to herself, "In fact, they are the same profession. Why is there such a big difference? That idiot."
Although Chidori's voice was soft, it didn't escape Xiao Ran's ears. After hearing Chidori's words, Xiao Ran couldn't help but laugh. With Sosuke Xiangliang's personality, he probably didn't even know what he was thinking. It was impossible for him to take the initiative to say something nice.
Only a silly girl like Chidori would look forward to traveling alone with Sosuke Xiangliang. She was looking forward to seeing Sosuke Xiangliang express his feelings for her. However, such an opportunity wouldn't come in the near future.
Yani didn't hear what Chidori said clearly. After looking at Chidori strangely, she rubbed her head and said to Xiao Ran, "Big brother, after I woke up, I felt like there were a lot of things in my head. I feel a little uncomfortable."
"This is a normal reaction for a Whisperer after awakening." Xiao Ran didn't know what a normal reaction for a Whisperer would be like after awakening. He could only help Yani lie down again and say, "Let Chidori accompany you. When Colonel Tessa is done with her business, she can come over and explain. I don't know much about this."
"Okay." Yani nodded obediently.
Xiao Ran looked at Chidori, who seemed to have a lot to say and wanted to vent. He smiled and pulled Sosuke Xiangliang out of the room. After finding a bench for Sosuke to sit down and guard the door, Xiao Ran threw a pistol to Sosuke Xiangliang and asked him to guard the door. He found a place to rest.
When he woke up again, a few hours had passed. Although the previous battle was simple, Xiao Ran's body was still under a certain amount of pressure. Perhaps it was because of his body, or maybe it was because he didn't wear a combat suit. After resting for a while, he felt a lot more relaxed.
After stretching his body, Xiao Ran pushed the door open and walked out. He first went to check on Yani. He found that Sosuke Xiangliang, who was originally guarding the door, had been replaced by Lang Ba, who had nothing to do. Lang Ba was happily playing a game console while Yani was asleep in the room.
Xiao Ran didn't want to disturb Yani, so he quietly left the room. After asking Lang Ba to look after Yani, he went to the bridge. Before he reached the bridge, he saw Tessa and Richard hurriedly walking towards him.
Seeing that the two of them were in a hurry, Xiao Ran greeted them and asked, "What's wrong? Did something happen? "
Tessa sighed. "It's nothing. It's about this mission. Everything that happened on the island has spread. The Americans not only want us to hand over the captured people to them, but they also want us to cooperate with them for their revenge. After all, we accepted the mission, but the mission was considered a failure. Now, the higher-ups have been having a headache."
"Revenge? Isn't this quite normal? " Xiao Ran nodded and said, "Such a big thing happened. All the personnel of a military base were sacrificed, and the base was turned into ruins. Of course, the Americans will take some action. There's nothing wrong with this."
"This is not the main point of the problem." Richard shook his head and said with an ugly expression, "Now it has been confirmed that the airframes that appeared on the island are the third generation AS made by the Soviet Union. The Americans don't believe that Amalgam is the real mastermind of this time at all. Instead, they targeted the Soviet Union. They also told us that even if there is an Amalgam organization, it must be an organization supported by the Soviet Union behind the scenes …"
Tessa continued with a heavy expression, "So if things don't go well, it may cause an all-out war between the two superpowers, and eventually lead to a world war. Now, the higher-ups are trying their best to persuade the Americans. They hope that they can determine the real goal and not cause a bigger war."
"So far, there has been a lot of movement in the American military, and the troops have begun to gather. In response, the Soviet Union has also begun to transfer troops to the border, seeking help from allies around the country. A war may break out at any time."
"Just what happened in the few hours I was asleep?" Xiao Ran was also stunned when he heard Tessa's words. He didn't expect things to develop to such an extent, and the speed was so fast that it caught people off guard. It didn't conform to the normal development pattern at all. The Americans' attitude was too firm, and it was a bit inexplicable.
"Yeah." Tessa sighed and nodded helplessly, "If the Soviets and the Americans start a war, the possibility of it developing into a world war is very, very high. At that time, the Mithril will really be powerless. With our strength, we won't be able to play any role in such a war at all."
"On the contrary, the organization called Amalgam can continue to expand endlessly during the war. At that time, I'm afraid no force can control their existence."
"World war …" Xiao Ran frowned slightly, shook his head, and said, "If it really comes to that point, the consequences will be unimaginable. The Americans' attitude is too firm. Haven't you thought about why they keep denying the existence of Amalgam?"
"I suspect that today's events are a series of consecutive plans 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 reason."
