After an unknown amount of time, the helicopter finally arrived at the defensive barriers of the Russian Branch.
Just as Fang Li was preparing to descend, Alisa unexpectedly said, “Just drive straight in, don’t stop.”
“No, it won’t work.” Fang Li was slightly taken aback, then shook his head and said, “If we drive in directly like that, we will absolutely be detected. By that time, if I want to infiltrate, I would have to defeat everyone in the Russian Branch first.”
If it were an ordinary soldier, with Fang Li’s current ability, defeating them all would only be a matter of time. However, within the Russian Branch, there were also a considerable number of God-Eaters.
Fang Li didn’t believe he could handle so many God-Eaters on his own. Therefore, this return had to be carried out through infiltration. It would be more convenient for Fang Li to act that way.
Alisa was well aware of this.
But Alisa still said it.
“Since we were able to locate the helicopter by confirming its radio signals, it’s equally possible that the Russian Branch has already detected those same signals. Even if you stop now, it will still arouse suspicion from the Russian Branch.”
Fang Li was aware of this matter as well. However, arousing suspicion was better than facing the onslaught of the Russian Branch’s massive army, right?
Just as Fang Li was thinking that, Alisa glanced at him and hesitated for a while before seemingly making up her mind.
“Just drive in directly.” Alisa stared at Fang Li intently and said, “When the time comes, I’ll take care of it. You just hide.”
“What?” Fang Li was somewhat surprised.
“If it were me, driving in directly wouldn’t be a problem, right?” Alisa looked at Fang Li’s astonished expression and seemed to smile slightly, saying, “After all, I’m originally from the Russian Branch, so I have a legitimate reason to enter the base.”
In other words, Alisa was ready to cover for Fang Li.
“You want to help me?” Fang Li locked eyes with Alisa and asked, “Why? As someone from the Russian Branch, you have no reason to help me, do you?”
“But, as I said before, based on your actions, I will decide whether to become your enemy or not.” Alisa met Fang Li’s gaze without a trace of fear or timidity and said, “And now, I believe that what you’re about to do might be able to save the Russian Branch. So, I want to help you.”
The reason behind Aphrodite leading the massive army of Aragami to attack was within the Russian Branch. And in order to conceal that secret, the higher-ups of the Russian Branch were willing to do so many questionable things behind the scenes, causing Alisa to suspect whether the Russian Branch had a way to overcome this crisis or if they had ulterior motives.
If the upper echelons of the Russian Branch didn’t have the intention of protecting the civilians in the base and caused this dire situation to occur for their own purposes, then Alisa couldn’t just stand by.
“The reason I became a God Eater was that I used to be too weak to save anyone.” Alisa’s expression became somewhat dim as she spoke, but she didn’t avoid Fang Li’s gaze as she uttered those words. “So, this time, I want to save everyone with my own power.”
As her words fell, the whole place fell silent.
Fang Li stared directly at Alisa’s charming face, and in the end, as if giving up on something, he sighed.
Seeing this, Alisa understood Fang Li’s decision.
Then, the helicopter flew directly into the Russian Branch, heading towards the main area.
…
In front of a landing pad in the main facility, the helicopter slowly descended from the sky, causing a strong gust of wind as it landed in the designated spot.
At the same time, a group of soldiers holding machine guns quickly approached and arrived in front of the helicopter.
“Click…”
As the cabin opened, Alisa stepped out of the helicopter.
Seeing Alisa, the Captain in charge sighed with relief but quickly tensed his face. “Alisa-Illinichina-Amiella,” The Captain said with a stern expression, “Why did you take so long to return?”
Alisa’s charming face showed no emotions, just as when she first met Fang Li. She looked at the Captain coldly before she spoke. “Do the higher-ups know that I’m back?”
“Yes,” The Captain nodded, still serious, and said, “The Major is angry about you disobeying orders, Alisa-Illinichina-Amiella. Be prepared to face punishment.”
“They probably just want to pin all the responsibility on me, the one who went on the mission with them, right?” Alisa said quietly without even looking at the Captain. “I will explain everything to the Major myself.”
With that, Alisa paid no further attention to the group of soldiers and walked toward the main facility.
Feeling helpless, the Captain could only watch Alisa leave.
…
“Hū…”
In front of the main facility, the ice-cold demeanor on Alisa’s face suddenly softened and she took a deep breath and looked around.
Almost simultaneously, a figure appeared out of nowhere, suddenly emerging from the nearby shadows and coming to stand in front of Alisa. The person smiled at her.
“No wonder the Russian Branch has high expectations for their New-Type. Even after breaking the rules, you can still maintain that attitude. If it were someone else, they would have been taken away by the military already, right?”
Startled, Alisa realized that this person was Fang Li. She relaxed and asked, “Are we ready to investigate now?”
“Yes,” Fang Li nodded and said, “Do you have any good ideas?”
“I heard that there’s a room in the main facility specifically used to store all the intelligence and data of the Russian Branch. If we go there, we might find the secrets you’ve been trying to investigate,” Alisa immediately suggested.
“Alright,” Fang Li hesitated for a moment and then made a decision. “Let’s go there.”
…
“This is it.”
Alisa led Fang Li to an automatic door and said, “Although I haven’t been here before, as a New-Type, I have permission to enter this place.”
Saying that, Alisa took out an ID card and swiped it in the slot next to the door.
The next moment, the automatic door suddenly opened, revealing a high-tech room in front of Fang Li.
Looking at the only large terminal in the room, Fang Li’s eyes glittered with anticipation.
