After returning to the Marker Stone Flats, Summit, a member of the Yinglung Special Task Force, brings news of the fleeing enemies.

An enemy commander likely remains active. However, further pursuit was not possible. We must return to the North Wuling Exclusion Zone immediately.

Given this involves the Endministrator and Project Xiranite, we must request that the Endministrator remain in Wuling for a few more days.

It's a relief to see the city holding up. Things look better than we thought.

Let's not talk about the Captain like she's already dead.

You are from the Yinglung Special Task Force...

Summit. Here to report to Tianshi Zhuang.

The Endfield Crisis Team's cleared to listen. Go ahead.

...The enemy forces were routed under our pursuit.

Seventeen leaders down, the rest captured — one of ours is escorting them to Hongshan now.

Among the enemy forces we engaged, most of the Cangzei Pirates surrendered, while the Landbreakers fought as they retreated. Most of the captives are also Cangzei Pi —

They are Stockaders.

No need to. As long as they stay away from Wuling, that's enough.

Your service is noted.

Involves the Endministrator and Project Xiranite? May I ask which Tianshi is being sent?

Only one person. And not a Tianshi.

She won't arrive in Wuling for a few days. However, she's already used the residual power within the Marker Stone Scroll to rescue the Captain.

Wha?! Li Zhiyan's fine?! Why didn't you say so from the start! This is huge!

How is it huge if she's fine?

Ahhh, the way you talk is killing me. Just tell me where she is.

Chen, ease up. Summit has just returned from the front lines...

Ahem... It seems you remain as concerned for her as ever...

Honestly, "fine" is an overstatement. Her life is not in danger, at least.

Please follow me.
