第三十二关（前）

Hope I didn't keep you waiting. The L.G.D. meeting took a little longer than expected.

Don't worry about it, Madam Ch'en.

(She looks like nothing ever happened...)

How's the situation?

Our scout team has already sent back some information.

I went through it and picked out a few things that might interest you.

Ah, Inspector Hoshiguma...

Don't worry about me. I'm just going to listen in.

Continue, Amiya. It's fine.

Very well. We managed to get a lead from some Infected...

The scout team has already confirmed that there are several Reunion hideouts in Lungmen's residential district.

And?

A number of Reunion squads are already planning to launch an attack against Lungmen's defenses.

We even found an infiltration channel that Reunion had been using.

Hah. Such arrogance.

They seem to be underestimating the L.G.D.

What about the ruins of Chernobog?

Rhodes Island dispatched multiple recon squads there.

While most of the residents were gone, we did find many Reunion members still active there.

One team even had more than three encounters with Reunion forces.

However, based upon the intel we have, we are unable to conclusively link the movements in the city to any broader Reunion operations...

But I would recommend choosing this city as one of our important operation targets in the future.

...I see.

Hoshiguma, help bring me my forms. Third drawer on the left side of my desk.

Right now? Sure thing.

Continue.

Mm, to summarize...

Rhodes Island suggests a joint operation to completely eliminate the remaining Reunion forces in Lungmen.

No good.

The L.G.D. will not permit it.

...What? Madam Ch'en...?

I said, no.

You... are an Infected.

If you carry out any more missions in the slums, you'll only cause greater disorder.

This is our decision.

But--

Ah, excuse me, I need to take this call...

This is Amiya.

Is, is this Amiya?

...! Jessica?

Yes, Jessica here...

Are you on a stealth mission? I can barely hear you...

We found them in the city ruins...

Reunion's leaders...

There are... two of them.

What?!

So, you fled back here with your tail between your legs?

I am no mongrel like you and your lowly kind.

...If not for the fact that you completed your mission, I would have added two more scars to your filthy face.

Didn't you lose all your limbs in that explosion? I'd feel sorry making a kid like you put makeup on my face with your mouth.

Pah.

But let's set this aside for now... It's not doing either of us any good.

I'll admit to that much.

Then, have they taken the bait?

Surely. Let's just see if that old flag-waver can bring back the real goods.

Speaking of which, you're pretty scared of that old timer, aren't you?

I'm already in a bad mood.

Oh my, sorry 'bout that.

But that's just before we land the catch, right?

How about we put aside our differences for the time being?

Tch. Fine.

I'll deal with the small fry first.

Rhodes Island, I know you're there.

...It's impossible to hide from me.

Jessica, don't!

It could be a trap...!

He found us! We have to...

If we defeat the enemy leader... We have to...!

Huh. They really were here.

Where'd you come from, little kitty~?

You can't just treat this place like your playground.

Hey, you bunch.

Yessir!!

Before we get to feast upon the most sumptuous prey...

Help yourself to the appetizers.

Ohhh... Ohhhhh! !

Tsk...!
