The girl opened her eyes sleepily, and the door of the sleeping cabin opened automatically. The girl looked at my face a little confused, like a newborn wolf cub, sniffing the surrounding smells with her small nose.
I took the initiative to reach out and pull the girl out, then said with a smile, "Number 21! Long time no see, this suit seems to suit you very well."
No. 21 suddenly poked his head out and sniffed me, then wiggled his ears and whispered, "It's a familiar smell. Why is the Commander here?"
I looked at the wolf ears that were jumping over there and couldn't help but pinch them with my hands. The touch was so comfortable: "Of course I will go on the mission with you." Then I touched her head hard.
Number 21 was a little disoriented by my touch. "Ahhhh! Is that so? Where are Captain Vera and Nocti? Aren't they coming?"
I let go of his hand and said, "They're busy, so it's just you and me. I think this mission should be relatively simple and there won't be any major problems."
The pilot looked at the forest on the screen and said, "I'm going to airdrop you down now, including supplies for the people in the reserve. Once you're down, Captain Sarens, the reserve administrator, will see the airdrop and rush over immediately. After you hand over the supplies to him, follow them back to the reserve to learn more about the situation."
I put on my armor, held No. 21 in my arms, opened the hatch, and said, "Okay, bye then!" The huge wind blew No. 21's hair, and his ears were blown back.
I jumped directly from the air. When I was about to hit the ground, I instantly turned on the accelerator and slowly landed in the forest.
I smiled and said, "This suit of armor is very handsome, isn't it? Number 21."
I turned around and saw that No. 21 was suddenly frightened. Her hair was a mess, just like a chicken coop. No. 21 looked at me a little aggrieved.
I put it down immediately and used my hands to tidy her hair: "What happened? How did it become so messy after just one flight?"
But as soon as I pressed my hair down, it stood up again. I pressed it down many times but it didn't work. I felt like a cat with its fur standing on end. "Maybe I need to go to the conservation area and use water."
Number 21 whispered, "Commander is so annoying!"
I could only smile awkwardly: "The commander will definitely fix it for you later, don't worry."
After a while, suddenly a lot of people surrounded us, with tattered scarves wrapped around their faces. They felt like wolves, slowly emerging from the forest with weapons in their hands, which made me feel a little uneasy.
I looked at the tense atmosphere and said with a smile, "You guys are from the conservation area, right? Your supplies have arrived, come and line up to get them! They're all yours, don't be so nervous, it's like you're about to rob me."
After hearing what I said, those people exchanged a few words with each other, then put down their weapons and walked towards me, then quickly surrounded me and started moving supplies. They moved the supplies in an orderly manner and very quickly. After each person took a box of supplies, they quickly disappeared into the jungle, but there was still a box of supplies on the ground and it was unclear why they didn't take it away.
Besides, they didn't seem to have any intention of taking me to the conservation area camp, and after taking the supplies, they looked like they were running away, and I didn't fight with them for it.
No. 21 looked at the people and suddenly said, "These people don't seem to be from the conservation area. They smell a bit strange."
As I listened to what No. 21 said, I felt a little nervous, as if I realized something, but I didn't dare to believe it, until some people in gray coats walked through the woods without any concealment and came to me.
I looked through the screen on my helmet and saw that those people seemed to be the real people in the conservation area. I started to get really nervous and my palms started sweating. To be honest, I made such a stupid mistake that I wanted to die.
The tall man leading the group came over and politely said to me, "Are you from the Hanging Gardens? I'm Sarens, the caretaker of the conservation area here. I heard there are new supplies coming, so I'll bring them along. Have they arrived yet?"
I turned around and nervously looked at the supplies that only had one box of biscuits left and lied, "Yeah, ah! That's right, the supplies will not be delivered for a few days, you guys just wait a few days!"
Sarens looked at my nervous face through the glass of my helmet and asked doubtfully, "Is that so? I remember the transmission said it was today?"
I immediately replied nervously, "Yes, it was a last-minute change. I came here specifically to tell you about it."
No. 21 suddenly said expressionlessly, "Commander, you're lying. The supplies were just here."
Sarens and I were both shocked by No. 21's words. The sweat on my face was now flowing down my neck. Sarens pressed hard, "Chief! What's going on? Where are the supplies?"
I thought about it nervously for a moment, then said regretfully, "Actually, the supplies were just taken away by bandits. There were too many of them, and there was nothing I could do."
Sarens immediately slapped his head and cursed angrily, "Fuck it, it's those guys again, so annoying, this time I must tear them into pieces."
I immediately agreed, "That's right, that's really too much."
No. 21 suddenly said, "We weren't robbed. The commander gave it to the other side."
When the soldiers and Sarens from the surrounding conservation areas heard No. 21's words, they immediately drew their weapons and became alert. "What do you mean? Chief, are you on the side of the rebels?"
I looked at the black muzzles of guns around me and immediately waved my hands: "It's not that you misunderstood, I would never stand on the side of the rebels. This is just a mistake."
Sarens pointed his gun at me fiercely and said, "So what exactly happened? I hope you can explain it in detail and stop deceiving us. Otherwise, don't blame us for being rude."
