8 7 301 1 Lucia There it is again! 1
9 8 301 The sound echoes through the air. The Red Tide, which was flowing quietly, begins to fill the riverbed once more.
10 9 301 Although the sound seems distant, it still seems to resonate from every direction.
11 10 301 Lucia Liv, inject the commandant with a serum. The Red Tide is beginning to rise again. Punishing concentration is rising at an unprecedented rate! 1
12 11 201 1 1031001
13 12 301 1 Liv That was the last one. Most of the serum was smashed in the landing. The bit domain node's support frame and even the comms device for contacting the main force were all damaged... 1
14 13 201 1 500026
15 14 301 1 Lee How long can we hold out? 1
16 15 201 1 1031001
17 16 301 1 Liv Less than two hours. 1
18 17 204 1 14
19 18 301 Holding the broken bit node, Liv shows a look of guilt.
20 19 301 Liv Sorry, Commandant. I couldn't keep it safe. 1
21 20 302 It's okay, Liv. 21 This all happened so quickly. It's not your fault. 22
22 21 24 301 Liv Commandant... 1
23 22 201 1 500026
24 23 301 1 Lee The commandant is right. We couldn't have anticipated that. 1
25 24 202 1 1
26 25 301 The team falls silent.
27 26 201 1 500026
28 27 301 1 Lee ...Hmph! Can we really trust the Construct that claims to be a part of Strike Hawk? 1
29 28 201 1 1031001
30 29 301 1 Liv If he's one of Chrome's comrades... 1

32 31 401 2 1508
33 32 301 Right at that moment, a Hetero-Creature appears out of nowhere and ambushes the team.

37 36 202 1 2 1
38 37 301 Right before the Hetero-Creature is about to stab you with a sharp spike, a bullet pierces the air and penetrates the creature.
39 38 301 Still in shock, you cannot help but look in the direction of the shot's trajectory.
40 39 301 A white figure looms in the yellow sandstorm.
41 40 301 Wanshi Just a reminder, your comms have been on this whole time.
42 41 301 Wanshi I heard everything you've said.
43 42 201 1 500026
44 43 301 1 Lee —! 1
45 44 301 Lee Just now... 1
46 45 202 1 1
47 46 301 Wanshi That was me.
48 47 301 His languid voice suddenly becomes serious.
49 48 301 AniZhuanchangBegin Wanshi Quit looking around and get over here.
63 62 301 AniZhuanchangEnd 1 Lee What's going on here? 2
64 63 301 Wanshi Er... You first. 1
65 64 301 Lee We ran into turbulence. 2
66 65 301 Both sides are concise in their exchange; Lee is not wanting to mince words, Wanshi is too lazy to waste words.
67 66 301 Wanshi glances upward.
68 67 301 Wanshi Ah... I figured. Otherwise, that landing was a bit... Um... 1
69 68 301 His face turns blank.
70 69 301 Wanshi If it was yesterday, landing here wouldn't have been such an issue. 1
71 70 301 Wanshi Unfortunately... You're a day late. 1
72 71 302 You mean... 72
73 72 204 1 4
74 73 301 Wanshi's troubled eyes widen as he retrains his apathetic tone, then responds seriously.
75 74 301 Wanshi The Red Tide hadn't reached this place until today. 1
76 75 301 Wanshi You'd better see it for yourself rather than me simply tell you. 1
77 76 301 Wanshi Let me start over. I'm Wanshi from Strike Hawk of the Task Force. 1
78 77 301 Wanshi Chrome is my Captain. I'm sure you've met. 1
79 78 301 Wanshi Since the last battle, Strike Hawk has been investigating what's left of the Red Tide and searching for the location of Huaxu in City 075. 1
80 79 301 Wanshi After hearing about the victory against the Polyphage, we stayed on the surface to continue monitoring the Red Tide. 1
81 80 301 Wanshi I was ordered by our Captain to investigate the city's periphery. I was also the first person to inform Babylonia on the Red Tide's activity. 1
82 81 301 Wanshi Since Babylonia dispatched you here, I'll spare the details. 1
