Overturned Tower

When Russell returned to the captain's cabin holding Amirus' clothes, he clearly felt the airship vibrating and descending.

"This wound..."

Feeling the pain becoming more obvious, Russell hissed and took a breath.

Because he hit the wall when he was repelled before, Russell still felt his hands were numb. The injury on his back seemed to have become serious after such a collision.

The blood flowed out faster, and the dark red traces gradually faded, making Russell's clothes wet.

Just looking at the blood stains, one would think that the injury was very serious.

But it was really just a flesh wound. The bullet took away a small piece of flesh, but happened to spare the muscles and bones. The only problems were probably blood loss and infection.

After Amirus took over the clothes, he did not avoid Russell's gaze and put the clothes on directly in the captain's cabin.

Russell politely looked away.

Only then did he notice that there were some bits and pieces on the table next to Amirus.

Those should be the bandages and hemostatic spray that Amilus dug out from the captain's cabin when he was looking for clothes.

"Let me help you deal with it first."

The old elf said this and showed the brand on the spray to Russell: "This is Ampoule Biomedical's 'Pain Relief No. 5'. It has the functions of sterilizing, stopping bleeding and preventing infection, and can instantly paralyze wound tissue to block pain." .”

"Oh, I've heard of this..."

Russell nodded: "It seems to be a countermeasure drug specially designed to deal with acid weapons and flamethrowers."

He turned his back to the old elf and took off his shirt. His clothes almost stuck to the wound, and he grinned in pain when he pulled them off.

The old elf skillfully removed the rags stuck to Russell's wound. After spraying it four or five times in a row, he picked up the dressing and medical bandage and bandaged Russell's wound.

His movements were extremely skillful and neat, and he said to Russell in a very relaxed tone: "Yes, but gunshot wounds can also be used. Although it is not as good as the 'Healing' series, for this level of injury, this level of early treatment is enough." .

"I'll help you re-treat it later, and you should be almost fine tomorrow morning."

"Why?"

Russell was startled.

After getting off the airship, do you still want to follow Lord Amirus?

"Why," Amyrus asked in surprise, "Do you have anywhere else to go on Happy Island?"

"...Not yet."

Russell told the truth.

Although he knew that his uncle was a director of Tianen Group, Russell didn't even know his name, where he lived, or what he looked like.

According to Russell's understanding, his uncle was married. Not only that, he even has a daughter...who is already a teenager.

From his uncle's words, Russell felt that the other party's family relationship did not seem to be very harmonious.

After learning the news, Russell no longer wanted to bother him at his house. It would be bad if their family started to quarrel.

—— Originally, he needed his uncle to take care of him and arrange work for him, so he had to go elsewhere to minimize the trouble for the other party.

This is proper courtesy.

Even if he will be assigned a residence after officially taking office... But now, he is indeed homeless.

Russell originally planned to find a hotel for one night after landing. At least you don't have to sleep in the park like a stray cat.

After reporting to Tianen Group tomorrow, there will naturally be a place to stay tomorrow night.

but……

"Since you don't have a place to stay, you might as well come with me. My private medical team can help you deal with your injuries in the shortest possible time, and I guarantee that there won't be any scars. These are some insignificant rewards."

Amilus spoke in a gentle tone and said slowly: "No matter where you want to go tomorrow, I can send you to your destination in time. Whether it's an aeroplane or a helicopter... I can also lend it to you if you want. One as a means of transportation.”

It's said to be a loan, but actually it's just a gift.

It's just a more euphemistic and more acceptable way of saying it.

"It doesn't matter what the scars are..."

Russell murmured and smiled bitterly: "But there is no need for gifts or anything like that. It's enough if you can stay with me for one night and eat something to fill your stomach."

Although for Amirus, Russell did save his life; but Russell knew in his heart that he actually did nothing at all, and the real hero was actually Bad Sun.

It's okay to have a meal or something...but it would be too much to be shameless and ask for a gift.

But Russell did not completely reject the elder's kindness: "As for the shelter and wound treatment, I'll leave it to you."

While they were chatting, the old man had already treated Russell's wounds and was wiping his bloody hands with a handkerchief.

At this time, with a burst of vibration and shaking, the airship had landed on the ground.

Before leaving the captain's cabin, Amilus pulled out a data cable from behind his ear and asked Russell: "Then let's add our contact information first?"

"good……"

Russell nodded.

He removed a dust cover from the prosthetic hand on his left arm to reveal a row of interfaces of different models. He took the data cable Amirus pulled out from behind his ear and inserted it into it.

In front of Russell's eyes, a green frame emerged, and the fonts appeared and flashed quickly:

[Warning: Attempting physical connection...]

[The accessing party sets the connection rules to -conservative mode]

[This physical link will not unlock data exchange permissions]

[This physical connection will not unlock administrator rights]

Immediately afterwards, Amirus's personal business card appeared.

ARMILUS (ARMILUS-10/3) advanced privilege user

【Thoth Spirit】Director, Director of the Third R\u0026D Department

[Thoth Spirit Energy Branch in Xingfu Island] General Manager

Above is a personal portrait of Amirus. Russell can also switch left and right with his thoughts, switching back and forth between the three images of half body front, half body side and full body front.

There are three buttons below:

[Follow] [Report] [Collect to category]

If higher-level permissions are turned on, there are also options such as "data exchange", "information management", "contract management", and "memory management".

After Russell clicked on the follow button, he saw that the "Follow" button quickly jumped from the "Following" status to "Mutual Follow".

After a little hesitation, Russell added Amirus to the friend category of "Teacher Commander".

"Not many people have my business card, so I won't block it here."

Amirus added to Russell: "If you have anything, you can contact me at any time. I will reply when I am free."

The way to add friends is very strict.

In addition to the in-person physical connection, only by knowing the other party's personal identity authentication code can you click "Follow" remotely. In addition to trustworthy real-life friends, the only people who can do this are probably only immediate bosses who know the personal identity authentication code.

Russell followed Amirus and left the captain's cabin.

Although the wound was properly treated and bandaged, his bloody appearance still looked scary.

The passengers who were about to get off the plane were shocked when they saw his appearance. Yet they did nothing.

No one spoke to Russell, asked him what happened, and no one took pictures or pointed at him. Instead, he pretended not to see it and regarded Russell as nothing.

The attitude of avoiding him and the shock and fear hidden in their eyes made Russell stunned for a moment.

...What are they afraid of?

And at this time.

The rumble of helicopters came from not far away.

As a large area of ​​shadow covered the area, three armed helicopters approached the airship that had just landed on the ground without warning.

Just seeing the appearance of the helicopter made Russell stunned——

There is nothing special about the larger helicopters on both sides. The jet black matte paint can sneak into the night silently if you fly at night.

However, the smaller helicopter in the middle... was painted with an unusually conspicuous pink primer, just like itasha.

Slogans with different colors and cute fonts were printed on the helicopter, such as "Full of energy, Xiao Liuli", "Are you feeling happy today too", "The secret of happiness is a smile on your face".

There is also a set of expensive-looking laser devices on both sides of it, which can project the logo of "Tian'en Daily" that can be seen clearly in all four directions and is as big as half a helicopter.

Russell had never seen this kind of posture on Sogo Island.

At sunset, the pink helicopter hangs high in the sky, and its dazzling projection makes it look like a pink neon sun.

The other two larger helicopters landed on both sides first.

They stopped in the air when they were still close to the ground and hung down a rope ladder.

The huge wind pressure from the helicopter forced the passengers who were just about to get off the airship back. Most people exclaimed and dispersed from the door and hid back in their seats. Amirus grabbed Russell's shoulders and motioned for him to stand behind him.

"...Are these people here to pick you up?"

Russell summoned the virtual keyboard with his mind, tapped his right hand repeatedly in the void, and sent a private message to Amirus with the friend he had just added.

"No."

Amirus chuckled and replied with a message: "This is just a media reporter who was called by me.

"As for the remaining two helicopters, Tian'en Daily prepared... personal security for this young reporter in order to ensure the three interview elements of 'correct interview attitude,' 'clear interview content,' and 'safety of interviewers.' "

After that, Amirus added another sentence.

"This not only protects her, but also urges her to be as objective and responsible as possible in her reporting."

...media, reporters?

Russell turned back to confirm the equipment on the three armed helicopters.

Except for the slightly smaller one in the middle, the other two are equipped with missiles, rockets, 25mm aerial cannons, and even anti-fortification bombing weapons. And even the mini helicopter in the middle is equipped with multiple machine guns and anti-tank missiles.

——These three helicopters have twelve machine guns in total.

Russell's expression was a little subtle.

Do you reporters from Happy Island all use long guns and short guns against interviewees like this?
