第四关（后）

*Pant* *pant*... Impressive!

The black raincoats are retreating! Run while you can!

Thanks!

Don't thank us. If you have the strength, you should fight alongside us!

Did you see him swing down from the fourth floor and graze my head like that? If I didn't freeze his weapon with the Originium FrostNova left in my backpack, I wouldn't be standing here!

Very impressive. They're just like the swordsmen in the gas masks back in Ursus. Even stronger, really!

You almost died, what are you so excited about? The masked swordsmen you're talking about were the Ursus Royal Guard! We only met five of them that time!

Did you count how many raincoats there are?

Does that mean we're even more awesome than before?

This is not a time for jokes. Their techniques and their equipment mean they must have a city... Even the craftsmen of multiple cities supplying them.

There's no way we can beat them back on our own. Don't even think about trying to kill them!

I just... I just think I did pretty well.

The point is this situation is way beyond what we can handle... We can't hold out for long!

Quiet!

Reporting in.

Sister, these are... Faust's people.

*Cough* *cough*... I recognize them.

FrostNova, we received your message, and...

Why is Mephisto with you? What happened to him?

Mephisto has taken some... hits to his psyche.

Him? Traumatized?

Wait, where is Faust?

Faust stayed behind to give us, and others, a chance to escape. We left him outside the slums.

It's hard to come back from that.

Faust was a brave warrior.

FrostNova, if we could, we would like to fight alongside the Yetis.

You could. We must get our remaining people out safely.

Find a sniping position and await orders. We will need your support in the coming battle. We don't know when the enemy may attack again.

Understood!

Pass our location to all teams: We will guarantee a safe route for their retreat from here!

Keep evacuating.

Understood!

Are they like the Ursus soldiers with a total disregard for collateral damage?

I don't think so. The Ursus were willing to use direct artillery fire on the upper city!

I knew they were brutal. But that brutal?

We saw it with our own eyes.

The raincoat people are very different.

They see civilians as targets, since they can't tell the difference between Infected and uninfected. They don't know if maybe we're dressing up as civilians.

The Ursus just didn't care, but these people don't let a single one slip through.

There are so many fleeing, it's damn near impossible to keep order! FrostNova is in a tough spot!

Sister won't let anyone die. Reunion or no.

We came to Lungmen to fight. How did we end up saving people? It's funny.

The fighting is pretty much done. If you guys didn't show up, we'd all be dead!

Man that's crazy. You're really counting on us?

Can you not talk like that...? I used to think you guys were so imposing, but now you just seem like a bunch of clowns.

You got us all wrong. We just don't talk much. Shouldn't be imposing.

Anyway, aren't we supposed to be holding this place with you?

You're totally right! Bro, let's defend this place together!

What's going on?

We... we found some locals locked up in here.

A mother and daughter. We were going to use the place as a firing position, but we don't know how to communicate with them... They seem pretty scared of us.

(Local language)!

(Local language) ...... (local language) ......!

She is your child, yes?

Waaahhh!

Such a healthy one.

Don't be afraid. Don't cry. Your mama is right here.

Mama is here.

Waaahhh...

Mm... Um... Mm.

Hehe.

Oh, the child is smiling...

Get her out of here.

...... (Local language)?

You *cough* escort her. See her to safety.

They're uninfected. There are so many of our people who need evacuating. We don't have time.

Oh?

...Right. Who cares whether it's the Infected or the uninfected now? Understood.

Erm, uh, ma'am, um... Komm zis way?

Neidei, neidei... hou.

FrostNova, Sister, wait for us to come back. Don't try to hold on your own.

Have some faith in your big sister.

Hurry! They're coming!

They are deploying some units wearing other uniforms... They might be Lungmen's L. G. D.!

*Cough* *cough* ... *hack*.

Go!

The temperature is as low as it will go!

The uniformed ones are no match for us, but watch out for the raincoats!

Where's Nesti? We need more firepower. We need suppressing fire!

He says okay!

I don't think Sister's body can take much more. She can't keep the temperature down!

We can't break the pavement?

No way! If we do that, how will our people and the locals get to the exit?

We're sure this is the only way out?

Yes. The other ones have all been destroyed. All that's left is the one we dug.

How much time do we have? Or how much time does Sister have?

Why must it come down to tormenting her so?

They're almost done!

I'll go get Sister!

Sister, we've just about got this group evacuated!

And the fighting... how goes?

We've got the L. G. D. completely suppressed. The terrain favors us, and they can't make use of their superior numbers.

But...

You have nothing to hide.

Lungmen's raincoat brigade doesn't care about the terrain, or the people. They... they're going to level everything.

They're purging the slums

And those uninfected Lungmenites we saw...?

I'm afraid that was their doing.

Sister, stop your Arts! We can handle these ones ourselves. Just rest for a bit!
