But to Constructs, it poses no issue if only the occasional inconvenience of clearing the dust out of their ventilation systems. 4 4 301 As for the Forsaken soldiers, the frigid wind bites at the exposed skin of their tightly bundled up faces. Even so, no one dares to risk adjusting their collars. 5 5 201 1 1101001 6 6 301 1 Watanabe Squads, report in... Starting with the patrol. 1 7 7 202 1 1 8 8 301 Watanabe's voice is not loud, but it stood out clearly in the strong wind, obviously indicating that he was in a foul mood. 9 9 201 1 500005 10 10 301 1 Patrol Leader All the remaining personnel have been patrolling within a 7-kilometer radius of the base since yesterday—all except for the teams that were dispatched on missions, sir. 1 11 11 201 1 1101001 12 12 301 1 Watanabe Any findings during the patrol? 1 13 13 203 1 0.25 400 14 14 201 2 500005 -400 15 15 301 1 Patrol Leader Yes, sir. The patrol encountered three medium-sized groups of Corrupted, roughly fifteen to thirty enemies each. All enemies were exterminated with zero casualties... We were very thorough. 2 16 16 301 Watanabe nods, hiding a sigh of relief. No one wishes to receive bad news, let alone so close to New Year's. 17 17 301 Watanabe Are camp defenses underway? 1 18 18 202 1 2 1 19 19 201 1 500005 20 20 301 1 Guard Leader Yes, sir! The 6th to 8th regiments are responsible for clearing the camp of all danger. We are urgently working on dismantling and shielding against Corrupted traps and fortifications. All that is left is the area northwest of the camp. 1 21 21 301 Guard Leader Additionally, we have left equipment for each Forsaken soldier and handed over the stockpile of firearms and ammunition to the logistics squad, which should be stored in the warehouse by now… 1 22 22 201 1 1101001 400 23 23 201 2 500005 -400 24 24 301 1 Watanabe Should...? 1 25 25 301 Watanabe interrupts the guard leader, startling him. Luckily, the soldier beside him speaks up on his behalf. 26 26 301 Patrol Leader He means that we are awaiting confirmation from the logistics leader, sir. Correct? 2 27 27 202 1 2 1 28 28 201 1 500005 29 29 301 1 Guard Leader Ah... Haha, r-right! 1 30 30 202 1 1 31 31 301 The guard leader elbows the Forsaken soldier standing behind him. Unlike the others, he has a nametag with "Zong" on his chest for no apparent reason. 32 32 201 1 500172 33 33 301 1 Zong ? 1 34 34 301 The guard leader lowers his voice and maintains a stiff smile, saying to the confused soldier behind him— 35 35 203 1 0.25 400 36 36 201 2 500005 -400 37 37 301 1 Guard Leader "Zong"... Have you confirmed the munitions transfer? 2 38 38 301 Zong Um, well... We haven't had time, but that's not our fault, sir. 1 39 39 202 1 2 1 40 40 201 1 1101001 41 41 301 1 Watanabe And why is that? 1 42 42 201 1 500172 43 43 301 1 Zong Sir. We have been debating over an important issue... 1 44 44 301 Watanabe rarely saw this guy look so serious. As such, he stifles his anger and awaits an explanation. 45 45 301 Zong Why don't we have rice dumplings on New Year's? I mean... 1 46 46 202 1 1 47 47 201 1 1101001 48 48 301 1 Watanabe What was that? 1 49 49 301 Fortunately, a strong gust of wind obscures his voice. Several soldiers next to him immediately cover his mouth. 50 50 301 Watanabe What are you guys doing? 1 51 51 201 1 500005 52 52 301 1 Patrol Leader Nothing, sir. Zong was just saying that we have been too busy preparing for New Year's, so we haven't had time to confirm with logistics. 1 53 53 201 1 500172 400 54 54 201 2 500005 -400 55 55 301 1 Guard Leader Y-yeah, that's right. We were just reminding him to follow up with logistics, sir. 2 56 56 301 Zong shakes himself from their tight grip and gasps for air after nearly suffocating. 57 57 301 Zong Munition collection has reached the quota according to the plan three days ago, sir. Much earlier than last year... 1 58 58 301 Hearing this, Watanabe's expression appears to relax a little. 59 59 301 Zong However, food consumption has increased marginally in an attempt to create new dishes, sir. But that's unavoidable... 1 60 60 202 1 2 1 61 61 201 1 1101001 62 62 301 1 Watanabe Understood, Zong. Then you will have no problem living off rationed water during New Year's. Record that, if he drinks more than one extra drop of water, he will be court martialed by the Forsaken. 1 63 63 201 1 500172 64 64 301 1 Zong Really?! You gotta be joking?! 1 65 65 202 1 1 66 66 301 The patrol leader shrugs his shoulders helplessly, then writes "Dead man walking" in his notebook. 67 67 301 The sound of Zong's lamentation is joined by the sound of a military ATV convoy approaching over the rolling yellow sand and stopping in front of the Forsaken base. 68 68 301 AniZhuanchangBegin All of the Forsaken soldiers pause, including Watanabe, and assemble at the gate. 69 69 101 Assets/Product/Texture/Image/BgStory/BgStory31.jpg 70 70 301 AniZhuanchangEnd Forsaken Rookie What's this... Looks worse than the previous Corrupted horde… 71 71 301 Forsaken Veteran You must be new here. 72 72 301 The recruit nods uncertainly. Even though he was in fact still a recruit, considering how many battles he had already fought in, what sort of dire situation had he not already seen before? 73 73 301 Forsaken Veteran It's worse than a Corrupted attack... Monsters that fear neither bullets nor blades. Attacks are useless—you'll only end up hurting yourself. 74 74 301 Forsaken Veteran Defense lines are useless in stemming the tide. They have left nothing but devastation... and despair in their wake! 75 75 301 The recruit gulps, following the veteran's gaze looking out at the trucks. 76 76 301 Forsaken Veteran Watch out! Here they come! 77 77 401 1 205 78 78 301 The car doors open, unleashing dozens of children gleefully running into the Forsaken base. 79 79 301 The Forsaken soldiers try to corral the children, but they are heavily outnumbered, causing the scene to devolve into chaos. 80 80 301 Some climb onto the soldiers to touch their weapons, some pull down tents arduously erected in the strong wind, some try climbing over the walls to escape from the base... Indeed, this is far worse than any Corrupted attack. 81 81 301 Forsaken Rookie Who are these devil children?! 82 82 301 Forsaken Veteran These are the children scattered throughout the various Forsaken camps. They come here to celebrate the Lunar New Year. 83 83 301 Although many of the younger children are wreaking havoc throughout the camp, most of the older children gather around Watanabe obediently. This does not seem to be the first time they are at the Forsaken base. 84 84 201 1 1101001 85 85 301 1 Watanabe This year you are not here to play, but to start training in the Forsaken reserve and learn the skills necessary to protect yourself in this world. 1 86 86 301 Although they are still very young, the children shout "Yes, sir" in unison. 87 87 204 1 1 88 88 301 1 Watanabe But let's save training for another day... Today, you're free to play. 1 89 89 301 Seeing as kids will always be kids, they all take off running after hearing the word "play"—all but the three oldest, that is. 90 90 204 1 91 91 301 Watanabe If I remember correctly... You must be Xiuyong, Annie and Deckard. 1 92 92 201 1 500279 93 93 201 2 500279 600 94 94 201 3 500280 -600 95 95 301 1 Xiuyong Uncle Watanabe still remembers us! Pay up, Deckard! 1 96 96 301 Watanabe ruffles their hair, grinning. 97 97 202 1 2 3 1 98 98 201 1 1101001 99 99 301 1 Watanabe What's that? Learn to bet now, have we? 1 100 100 201 1 500279 101 101 201 2 500279 600 102 102 201 3 500280 -600 103 103 301 1 Annie Will you have time to play with us while we're here, Uncle Watanabe? 3 104 104 301 Deckard Or training works, too. As long as you let me hold your gun... 2 105 105 202 1 2 3 1 106 106 301 Watanabe thinks for a moment, then shakes his head regretfully. 107 107 201 1 1101001 108 108 301 1 Watanabe Unfortunately, I don't think I'll have much time to spend with you all. 1 109 109 201 2 500279 -600 110 110 301 1 Xiuyong WHAT?! Why... 2 111 111 301 Watanabe We received a survey mission from Babylonia... So I probably won't be spending much time in the base until the mission is over. 1 112 112 201 3 500279 600 113 113 301 1 Deckard Why?! Those Babylonian scumbags abandoned us! Why are you doing missions for them, Uncle Watanabe... 3 114 114 301 Watanabe pats Deckard on the head. He does not want to answer, but seeing that the other two children are equally curious, he answers helplessly. 115 115 204 1 1 116 116 301 Watanabe Even though the world is a disaster, there are still festivals worth celebrating... 1 117 117 301 1 AniZhuanchangBegin Watanabe Babylonia seems to have changed a lot... At the very least, it's worth trying to be on good terms. 1
