Arknights Welcome to Terra Continent

Chapter 323 Safe House



"Calm down, I'm here to help you!"

Ashes spoke.

The person in charge of the guard in front of him looked very pale, probably due to excessive blood loss. He looked at the ashes carefully.

"You, you are not the same group as those people just now, help me!"

"Kuz, make sure it's safe and bring the doctor in."

Ashes walked around the room a few more times, and after confirming that there were no traps, she called out to Miyaro's lightning strike outside.

"Mr. Oakfin, your legs..."

As soon as Miyaro came in, he ran straight to the injured man's side and carefully examined his injuries.

A man named Okefen also recognized the doctor. He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Are you the infected doctor? Thank God, I finally waited until someone came to save me."

"Don't talk yet, I'll bandage you."

Miyaro took out the bandages and tweezers he brought with him and began to clean and bandage Okfen's wounds.

Taking this opportunity, Ashes and Blitz also began to observe various objects in the building.

But the harvest was little, because the house had long been left in a mess by the thugs who had forced their way in.

"Boy, this house has been turned upside down."

Flash sighed, he couldn't even find one thing that worked.

"The house is much smaller inside than it looks from the outside."

Hui Jin looked up and saw that the height of the ceiling was not that high, only about two and a half meters.

"Secret doors, compartments, reinforced exterior walls, aren't all safe houses like this? If you ask me, that door is probably the weakest thing in this safe house."

Hui Jin saw one of the more eye-catching things among the pile of junk. After all, that thing had an antenna sticking out.

Ashes reached out and took it out, looked at it carefully, and said, "What is this? It looks like some kind of radio equipment."

"It's so big, it looks like an old device from forty or fifty years ago, but it turns out that this kind of communication equipment also exists in this world."

Blitz came over to look at the big guy and said.

"They even have cars. It's not surprising that they have radios. However, this thing shouldn't be called a radio."

Hui Jin skillfully dismantled this thing. Although the operating principles may be different, the structures are still somewhat similar. She took out something from the disassembled device and said.

"There are other 'electrical appliances' in the shabby house we live in, such as a refrigerator, a fan, and a kettle, but none of those items actually use electricity."

Hui Jin spread her hand, and a black crystal was lying in her palm.

"There is such a device containing black crystals in these machines. I guess that is the energy source of these devices."

"It's almost like a battery."

Blitz said, and put away the black crystal. There is a high probability that this thing can be used for something.

"It hurts, doctor, please be gentle!"

Oakfin's screams rang out, but Miyaro did not stop the movement of his hands, and just said: "Fortunately, no bones were injured, and he will be fully recovered after a while."

"Are you the person in charge here?"

Ashes came over, squatted in front of Oak Fenn and asked.

"This is Rhode Island's foreign office. I...I'm actually just a janitor."

Oakfin replied that he was not lying, and of course he was not telling the whole truth.

"Let me guess, these thugs rushed here and asked you to open the basement door, but you insisted on your duty and kept pretending to be stupid, so you were beaten up by the angry thugs and then left here to die?"

Blitz guessed.

"Well, that's pretty much it."

As soon as Oakfin answered, he noticed something was wrong.

"Wait, how did you know there was a basement here!"

"Hahaha, you fell into the trap! We are actually the back-up men of those thugs, and we are here to trick you."

"What!?"

Okefen was startled. At that moment, he had already thought of a plan for reincarnation.

"Kuz!"

Ashes glared at Flash angrily.

"Hehe, it's just a joke to liven up the atmosphere. Don't care, don't care."

Flash scratched his head in embarrassment.

"You, what do you do?"

Oak Fenn looked at the guns on Ashes and Blitz again, and asked with some fear.

"Don't worry, Miss Cohen and Mr. Kurtz are both good people. Without them, the situation in the infected community will only become more serious."

"The community of infected people has also been attacked? This... is a mess, everything is a mess."

"Where are the Lord's Guards? Have you seen them?"

Oakfin asked anxiously.

"The Lord's Guard has never appeared. They must have encountered some trouble. We can only rely on ourselves."

"So, Mr. Gatekeeper, we need your help."

Ashes spoke.

"But how can I help? I can't stand up right now."

Aukfen lowered his head and said that he regretted not receiving combat training at that time, and now he could only hold back.

"There are many wounded people where we are hiding, but that place can't last long. We need you to open the safe house and let them hide here."

Ashes asked.

"this........"

Aukfen had a hesitant expression on his face.

"Please trust us, we will protect your safety and will not cause any damage to the safe house."

Blitz said sincerely.

"However, according to the contract I signed with Rhode Island, the entire safe house is the property of Rhode Island. I have no right or qualification to let you in."

Oak Fenn paused and looked at Dr. Miyaro.

"Well, even for those infected, I have to open this door. Before meeting them, I really didn't expect that there are companies in the world that are so friendly to infected people."

"Thank you very much, Mr. Oakfin!"

Miyaro bowed to him, then turned to look at Ashes and said: "Miss Cohen, let's get them all over quickly. I'm worried that the place won't last long."

"Kuz, you stay here, I'll go back and inform them, and make sure to ensure their safety."

"Understood, but I need to find some materials to repair this door first, or at least block it."

Soon Ashes brought the others to the safe house.

The strange thing is that there was no interference from any monsters or mercenaries along the way. The only monster I saw just hurried towards the town and didn't even notice the people on the way.

This is obviously not a normal situation, but wouldn't it be better if there were no interference from other factors?

The four people who regrouped quickly built defenses around the safe house, preparing to face any attack that might come at any time.
