Arknights - Amnesiac With Groupchat

Chapter 13 - Lungmen Siege

*Glass_Break.mp3* A/N: Idk what onomatopoeia glass breaking has.  

*Bang*

With the sudden sound of glass breaking in the distance, I was once again rudely awoken from a state of peace.

"Clukay, Reunion is besieging Lungmen!" Rimuru shouted, forcing me to instinctively reach for my rifle. I looked over to my side to see the time was NINE IN THE MORNING. This was too early.

"Why the fuck are they attacking so early..." I muttered as I rubbed my eyes and reached for my bag of ammo.

"Zhongli has boarded up the windows. Reunion is on the streets smashing every store they see. Luckily, they haven't noticed us yet. It seems that they're searching for something," Rimuru said as he moved to wake up Jinwoo on the couch.

"Well, I'll call up Kal'tsit. This will be a good opportunity to profit off the situation," I said as I put down my gun, realising that we weren't in immediate danger.

"It won't be long before they reach our store and breach Zhongli's boards. We need to get out of here fast," I hear Rimuru say as I rushed to get clothes to wear instead of my pyjamas.

Once I changed into my combat clothes, I rang up Kal'tsit on my phone. It didn't take a second before the phone was picked up.

"Hello?" Kal'tsit asked.

"Hey, Doc Kal'tsit. We're currently being raided by Reunion forces in Lungmen's outskirt suburbs. Do you want us for a job while we're here?" I asked as I unlocked the door of the bathroom and left. The rest of the gang minus Zhongli, who camped at the front door, was sitting around the room, patiently listening to my phone call.

"If you insist on getting a job, I'll warn you that it may cost your life. 500,000 LMD upfront, and in exchange, show me your combat capabilities by scouting the LGD Headquarters. I've got intel that Reunion forces have made it their stronghold, but I need to verify it," Kal'tsit said monotonously.

"Sure, we'll take it. We'll report to you with the walkie-talkie you gave us yesterday," I replied as I made sure my magazines were loaded. It was time for us to finish this damned quest once and for all.

Kal'tsit explained a few things about Reunion for an hour before she hung up. With some intel, we were ready to rock.

"Let's head out the backdoor into the alleyway," Zhongli said as he made his way back from the front of the office. We followed along with our weapons ready. Despite having three hours of sleep, there was plenty of energy to go around.

Don't question why we slept at 6 am.

Once we exited through the backdoor, we swiftly navigated the alleyways. Luckily, there was still signal, so I could pull up a navigation app to help guide us through the Lungmen streets.

"Zhongli, can you take out that guy?" I whispered, pointing at a Reunion member that was about to enter the alleyway. Guns were too loud, so I needed to rely on Zhongli and Rimuru to deal with enemies if we wanted to maintain our stealth.

"Damn, the LGD headquarters is a three-hour walk away," I muttered as the directions loaded up. This was going to take a while, especially since we needed to maintain our stealth.

"How about you guys hide inside of me?" Rimuru suddenly suggested. I looked at him with confusion.

"I meant that I could absorb you guys. I could switch to my slime form and make myself harder to spot whilst moving faster," Rimuru explained, clearing up the confusion.

"Sure," We nodded in agreement. Although it was a new and weird experience, we still trusted Rimuru to an extent. At least, I trusted Rimuru quite a bit.
