Глава 6

Of course, it's up to you if you want to see it through to the end.

And do conserve your energy. We may not have time to rest.

The battle for Lungmen is over.

It's not that simple. At least, that's what I think.

Dr. {@nickname}, from now on, it's up to you to decide if you will shoulder the burden of responsibility for Rhodes Island...

...'Whether or not to be one worthy of the trust of a Rhodes Island operator.'

Ah, FrostNova, ma'am, you're awake...

...Take it easy! Let me help you.

I'm fine. I'm not... so fragile.

Where are you going? You can't go back.

Then, my brothers and sisters...

...You can't go back!

It was for your sake that they...

Don't insult my squad!

Ugh!

They did... *cough* look out for me.

But it was for the Infected that they gave their lives so bravely!

They fought their last battle so that more of their people could live, not for the sake of any one person!

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

*Cough* Guh... Mmg...

FrostNova, ma'am...

Enough with the ma'am. Are you calling me that because I look weak to you?

Sorry!

It's just, they put you in our care like this.

And now they're gone, and I never got to keep my promises to them.

I don't even have a chance to make amends.

FrostNova...

...The one slumped at the wall there.

Mephisto.

He's still unconscious?

We don't know. He's been like that the whole time. He says nothing. Does nothing.

Take him back. It's enough.

Understood. Phew, I thought you'd...

I'd what?

I thought you'd kill him.

There's no need for that anymore. I think I know what happened outside the slums.

That disheartened look in his eyes...

Oh...?

...And, from time to time...

I recall that day, three or four years ago, when he tried his very hardest to sing.

He can sing? But Faust said, his throat...

He really tried.

Just like all of us Infected. Though we will all someday succumb to Oripathy...

We still try our very hardest to live.

Let the rest of his life continue to punish him.

Tell me, Phantom Crossbowman, was Rhodes Island involved in that fight?

Do you mean...?

...No, as far as I know, they didn't fight the Yetis.

...So childish.

Are you sure you want to stay?

They may not come after us, FrostNova. You don't have to die here.

I met a few people in the ruins. I want to see them again.

I promised them, actually.

And I know they're coming.

FrostNova...

Go on, brother.

Reunion lost this battle. And just maybe, Reunion did wrong.

But you haven't. You still have a choice, you can do better.

Go on. And don't look back.

第一关（前）

12:21 P.M.

Ruins of Chernobog 'District 14'

Sector Surface

What the hell?

Yeti Squad, why have you stopped firing? What are you waiting for?

...Dig out those ruins, huh?

Didn't you plant the Originium? Why not collapse the whole plate and wipe out Rhodes Island all at once?

Are you kidding? FrostNova is still down there!

Then we'll deal with Rhodes Island. You guys keep digging. We'll be right there.

Not on this block! The superstructure in this sector is completely shredded. An untrained team fighting here could induce a total collapse!

Wiping out Rhodes Island is a top priority. You take care of it.

I'm not gonna argue with you. We'll fight what we gotta fight. Who decided on this priority anyway?

It's obviously our most important strategic goal.

Were you thinking about strategic goals when you vented your anger on the Ursus?

We'll do what we can. Give us some space.

Did you... communicate with Rhodes Island?

You're betraying the Movement!

(What's going on over there?)

(I think we have to fight.)

If you think communication is tantamount to betrayal then that's your prerogative.

With that kind of tactical thinking, it's no wonder you're getting led around by the nose.

...Yetis! What are you up to?!

We outnumber you a hundred times over, don't be stupid!

...Come on, we fought the Ursus Standing Army like a million times, who's getting excited over a big angry mob?

Just you wait!

(Static)

Hey, Rhodes Island. We might have to teach those unruly bastards a lesson.

You should probably stay out of it. We don't want to be accused of collaborating with the enemy.

Huh? Collaborating? What are you talking about?

Amiya, what happened in the ruins, and what's the official party line on it?

......Nothing happened. We were fighting Yeti Squad and no other Reunion units joined the battle.

Acting? I'm a phenomenal actress.

What do you say we put on a show and then take care of these guys in the ensuing chaos?

Sounds good to me. What does your captain think?

Excuse me, sir. How should I call you?

...Um, well, you're a really cute girl, but I'm not sure I'm ready for anything like that...

Ready for what? What are you thinking?!

Oh, sorry. I'm just playing around. You can call me Yeti #1, I guess.

All right, Mr. Yeti #1... We've got lives to save, don't we?

So let's subdue the Reunion units that could interfere with our rescue mission.
