I'm playing Frostpunk in Arknights

"It's almost seven o'clock," Wang Zhan stared at the cell phone on the support shelf, Mu Ye had been subdued these days and didn't bother him to play the game; maybe it was because he hadn't reacted to the bugs for too long?

He couldn't care less about what Mu Ye was doing; the Snow Monster Squad led by Frost Nova had already reached the Generator. A thick bell sounded from the screen, announcing the arrival of the Snow Monster Squad. 

[Later, they arrived under the Generator.] 

Wang Zhan was a little annoyed when he looked at the prompt that popped up. He was waiting to see how Alina and Tallulah would react—what a buzzkill! 

[Source Stone Technique The Snow Monster Squad, under the shelter of Frost Nova's Source Stone Technique, crossed the snowy plains and followed the bright light of the lighthouse to reach the Generator, there were no serious problems among the 121 people, except for Frost Nova.] 

This news was of great use. 

"Alina, the Wendigo Squad is here." 

Alina broke the news to Tallulah, who shouted sternly behind her to Carl and the other infected, "Everyone, prepare to charge into the storm and dock the wounded!" 

Tallulah once again wound up her carrying lamp while using her source stone technique to heat the air around her; the infected behind her was surprised, except for Carl, who gave a smug grin. 

"This is a fighter, Tallulah! Someone who would have been able to equal the Princess of Snow Monsters." 

"Stay close to me, don't fall behind!" 

Tallulah rushed into the storm, followed by Carl, and the rest of the group burrowed into the storm together. Several starbursts faded away as the storm hissed, and Alina couldn't hear anyone in the storm to judge the situation by sound. 

But Alina trusted Tallulah, "Everyone, start working overtime in the mess hall as Mr. Generator ordered! Try to free up space in the shed and arrange for as many wounded as possible!" 

The infected responded in a loud voice and waited until Tallulah delivered the first batch of heavy casualties, which they would then send to the ambulance station while the rest of the injured would have to be placed in the work shed for the time being, waiting until the storm had passed before they could be treated. 

Alina was so anxious that her eyes were starting to glaze over as she stared at the walls made up of wind and snow, and the infected behind her were all a little anxious— 

"Alina, take someone and get Frost Nova into the aid station!" 

Tallulah was burning up, and she used her Source Stone technique to counteract the cold emanating from Frost Nova's body. The infected hurriedly raised the stretcher, and Tallulah lowered Frost Nova; in just an instant, the stretcher became abnormally cold, with a vague white frost solidifying on the stretcher's handles. 

"This--" 

The source stone technique went out of control. It wouldn't be too much of a stretch to describe Frost Nova at this moment as a monster; what was the difference between that cold and the storm in front of them? The infected were in trouble. 

Enri immediately stepped forward and gripped one end; he felt like his hands were freezing off, "What are you looking at! The ambulance station is right next to it; someone help!" 

The sensible infected picked up the other end and strained to shout, "Up!" 

Alina watched as the duo took Frost Nova into the ambulance station and couldn't help but feel a little worried; it looked like Frost Nova had overdone it with the Source Stone Technique—could this still be saved? 

Alina dismissed her inner doubts; she chose to trust the people in the ambulance station. 

A miracle was bound to happen under the generator! 

"Come give us a hand!" 

Petrova and Bear stumbled and collapsed onto the wooden floor; the duo felt like their legs weren't their own anymore. They ignored the frostbite on their faces, their purple lips moving slightly, "Help Big Sister! Please!" 

More Wendigo squads were picked up by the infected under the generator, and Tallulah yelled to the crowd, "Next team! Follow me!" 

"Get the wounded into the workshed! Caterers prepare to hand out hot food!" 

Alina carefully discerned the ailments of each Wendigo squad. Ten others were doing the same job as her, and she heard almost all of them murmur, "Save big sister first... Me, it doesn't matter." 

"Don't say anything demoralizing; your big sister has been taken to the aid station; she'll survive." 

Alina's nose flared a little, and she did her best to calm herself down. 

"What's your name?" 

Alina could only discern a few syllables from the fragmented language and simply wrote down the name by syllable; she couldn't bear to make him talk again. 

"A hot meal will be brought to you soon; it's warm in the workhouse, so get some sleep." 

Alina got up, and the Wendigo Squad tugged on her coat, "Thank you." 

"You ... Good man ..." 

Alina had the infected from the generator give him a ride to a nearby workhouse. In the ambulance station, four heat lamps were placed on the operating table, all turned to maximum power, which still couldn't resist the bitter cold emanating from Frost Nova. 

Gatling and the other three infected looked at her and fretted; one of them pressed Frost Nova's arm with his finger and immediately let out a strange cry in pain, "Should I remove the heater and put it next to this rabbit?" 

The three of them looked blankly; this heater is something you can remove just because you say so. 

That's Mr. Generator's stuff. Maybe one out of control will burn Frost Nova to ashes! 

"Will the inhibitor freeze when you inject it?" 

Gatling frowned, "It would be better if I could inject it in, but the problem is that when injected, these inhibitors would turn into ice cream stubble and hurt this white rabbit instead." 

"Then what should be done? It's the first serious problem, so we can't just plant it at the beginning, right?" 

Gatling grunted in dismay; not to mention the condition, an infected person like Frost Nova is rare in itself, alright? 

The four of them were in a hurry, their heads spinning; they had to inject the ore disease inhibitor before they could move on to the next step. 

To get this rabbit's body temperature back above the inhibitor's freezing point, it would have to be stabilized first— 

"Mephisto ..... Right! The boy says he's got something special for ore sickness!" 

Gatling's two eyes glazed over, not realizing that his experienced self was going to be pinning his hopes on something as arcane as the Source Stone Technique, but the four of them finally had a direction, "Where is he?" 

"I heard— Ahem!!!" 

Mephisto kicked in a ragged, dry cough as he stumbled into the tent, sadness filling his features as he looked over at the group. 

He would never let his family die. 

"Grandmother-! I'm so cold!" 

Yelena curled up in her grandmother's arms, her white bunny voice whining so that she could always get more affection in return. Her grandmother, who loved her the most, had found five heaters from somewhere to surround her, but she was still cold. 

Why was it so cold? 

"It's not cold, Yelena, soon it won't be!" 

Grandmother shook her head smilingly; the coziness made her feel drowsy, and her grandmother's lazy voice was like a lullaby, "It'll all be fine after a good night's sleep." 

Then she'd close her eyes, then jerk them open, and Grandmother would laugh— 

There was a bird call. 

Yes, a very clear bird call. 

Yelena reopened her eyes, which were about to close, and she rolled over away from her grandmother and flopped down in front of the window. 

"This snow, it's so heavy." 

Black shadows blotted out the gray sky, blocking the whistling cold wind, and she looked up into scarlet eyes. The odd mask didn't make her feel afraid but rather distinctly kind. 

She smiled at him, and he was at a loss for words. 

"Take this talisman." 

She took the odd talisman from those large hands; she didn't recognize any of the writing on it, "It's totally children's graffiti." 

The creature, however, was a bit anxious; though she couldn't see it on its face, she knew it in her heart. 

"It was begged from the shaman," she climbed onto the monster's huge, twisted horns, and he didn't mind; he just let her play with it. 

"It's a pair of talismans; if you die, I'll know instantly." 

Why would you die? 

"Death ..... Is that what it means when a person is gone forever?" 

The monster did not answer, silent as the wind. 

He held her close, even though she was cold as winter. 

It was so warm. 

"Wuhu! She moved! She's moving!" 

"Hoo-ha..." 

She's going to have to live longer than her father, for sure. 

Frost Nova thought so.
