"..."
At this moment, Sakura was moving flexibly and lightly through the woods, looking for clues of the enemy while also ensuring to minimize the traces of her own actions.
After all, it is too easy to leave traces in the woods covered with silver frost, and it would be bad if someone noticed them. So far, she hadn't found anything unusual, nor had she sensed any strange presence.
However, it could be that the enemy hadn't arrived yet or that Sakura was searching in the wrong direction. The area was vast, and even with her perception, it would take time to explore thoroughly.
It would be great if Griseo could assist her. Although the little loli wasn't particularly skilled, her assistance would speed up the search. What a pity.
Thinking of this, Sakura's blue eyes flashed with a trace of helplessness, and then she put away her thoughts and continued to concentrate on her actions.

"Hmm."
On the way back to the warehouse, Griseo, as expected, received many stares again, but she was completely accustomed to it. After all, in addition to here, when she was in the integration movement camp, if she appeared in front of other infected people, she would also attract various looks.
However, Griseo didn't have time to care about this kind of thing now. She was now thinking about how much she could intervene in Sakura's limited mission.
Direct action was definitely not possible, as it would render the limit meaningless, but she didn't know how far she could go in collecting information.
The lack of rigor in the system tasks made Griseo's heart full of concern. She feared that she might accidentally fail the task.
That would be a big loss, and the little loli would be heartbroken...
What's more, the divine key [Seven Thunders of Retribution] really matched Sakura very well. It could even be said that it was one of Sakura's two special weapons in the previous civilization.
In the previous civilization, Sakura had two swords: one used for dealing with enemies on the Honkai side, and the other was the Divine Key Sword [Seven Thunders of Retribution], used to address human enemies, clean up traitors, etc.
So, this time, Griseo was determined not to miss the mission reward. Having a good weapon made a significant difference.
But just as the little loli was struggling in her heart, the voice of the system sounded again...
[Exclusive tasks need to be completed by exclusive characters. Other characters cannot intervene to protect the target group, repel the enemy, or complete other core tasks.]
"꒪꒫꒪)"
The sudden system reminder made Griseo pause, and she was momentarily stunned.
But after reacting, her big violet eyes flashed slightly, and a hint of happiness emerged.
In Griseo's view, this system precaution was very timely. It directly resolved her concerns. Now, she could focus on how to assist Sakura in her actions.
The system's meaning was very clear: as long as she didn't touch the core content of the exclusive task, assisting in intelligence gathering was not a problem at all.
Then, Griseo contacted her companions in her mind. However, upon learning that Mr. Wolf and Attendant were both busy helping, she temporarily gave up the idea of bothering them. Instead, she turned to her other two companions.
"Uncle Tyrant, Sister Madam, can you come out to help?"
As Griseo's voice fell, the scarlet tyrant and the elegant lady appeared beside her, waiting to listen to the words of their little princess.
"Go help sister Sakura and explore the surrounding situation."
As she spoke, Griseo turned her head to look at the two companions behind her and said softly. After the little loli finished speaking, the two nodded gently in agreement.
"Oh, by the way, if you find the enemy, don't engage with them..." Just as the Tyrant and the Lady were about to leave, Griseo clapped her hands gently and gave further instructions.
When she said this, her eyes were fixed on the scarlet tyrant, and the meaning was clear.
Griseo was a bit worried about her bad-tempered uncle, fearing he might attack the enemy upon encountering them. If things went wrong, the mission could be directly compromised.
"..."
After noticing the gaze of her little princess, the tyrant hesitated for a moment before nodding.
Then, after the two of them bowed elegantly to Griseo, they left in different directions simultaneously.
After watching her companions leave, the little loli raised her feet again and continued walking towards the warehouse.
However, Griseo did not do it secretly when sending her companions out to investigate, so many infected people saw it.
The eyes of these infected people became more complex, and some even showed fear and terror.
Although Griseo didn't care about their gazes, the murky color in their eyes made her feel a little uncomfortable... There were signs of contamination.
Realizing this, she quickened her pace...

Reunion Movement Camp——
"Talulah! A snow monster is back, and he has something to talk to you about!"
After receiving the news, Alina rushed into Talulah's tent and said quickly.
Talulah, who was making a migration plan in the tent, raised her head and looked at her best friend. But she didn't see anyone except the fawn, and asked in confusion, "Where is he? Let him in."
"Huh... He went to find Patriot. They should be here soon," Alina explained after taking a breath.
Hearing this, Talulah nodded gently, and then asked nervously in her now somewhat dry voice, "Okay... Let's wait a while. So what happened?"
Alina's words were too confusing, and Talulah began to get nervous, even though she was ready to hear bad news.
"Pfft~ Don't worry. Yelena and the others are fine, which is a good thing. And little Grideo is fine too; she's with them now."
Although it was indeed because she didn't explain clearly, seeing Talulah like this, Alina couldn't help but laugh.
"... I'm glad you're fine, Alina. You scared me!"
Hearing her best friend's laughter, Talulah was stunned for a moment before reacting, and then she complained helplessly.
