Settlement ChiefThank you, really!谢谢，太谢谢了！
CommanderGet a head count, and see if anyone needs emergency care. My Elmo has medics.清点一下人员，看看有没有需要急救的，我的艾莫号上有医疗兵。
CommanderTake stock of supplies as well, though I am afraid I can't help with that.另外，物资也看看，不过，这一点我就没办法了。
Settlement ChiefIt's great that you've responded to our distress signal at all!你能接到我们的求救信号，过来帮我们就很好了！
Settlement ChiefIf it weren't for you—never mind whether or not this new settlement of ours would still be standing, E.L.I.D. would have gotten everyone here...如果没有你——别说我们这个新建成的居住点能不能还在，我们这些人可能都要得上E.L.I.D.……
Settlement ChiefIt's just... the matter of pay...就是……酬金的问题……
CommanderNo need. A few ELIDs are no big deal for us.不用了，几个生骸，对我们来说不是什么大事。
Settlement Chief...No, no, no, in reality... I have another request for you.……不不不，其实……是我还有一个请求……
CommanderHuh?啊？
("Settlement" may seem a rather informal name, but in the Yellow Zones, they are small human communities formed for the purpose of sharing wealth, land, buildings, equipment, as well as the mitigation of risks.)（在黄区，“居住点”这种听起来很随意的称呼，实际上是以一个集体共享财富、土地、建筑、生产设备、生存风险而构成的小型人类社区。）
(Odds are that these conglomerations are few and far between in this broken world. Within Yellow Zones ravaged by Collapse storms, ELIDs, and Varjagers, however, exceptions could be found.)（这样的集合在如今这个破碎的世界上恐怕是少数，但是在黄区这种坍塌风暴、生骸、瓦良格帮肆虐的环境下却不是个例。）
(No matter the circumstances, humanity, as always—stubbornly seeks survival.)（不管处于什么样的境地，人类——总是在顽强地寻求着生存。）
Settlement ChiefIn any case, I'll be leaving the stage play to you this time, Miss Jiangyu!所以说，绛雨小姐，这次的舞台剧，要交给你了！
JiangyuEh—even if you say that, I'm still just a spectator here...欸——就算你说交给我，我也只是来凑个热闹……
JiangyuHmph, where are Zhaohui and Faye? Lying about on the Elmo all day, slacking off...哼，朝晖和绯怎么不来呀，躲在艾莫号上就知道偷懒……
Settlement ChiefThe Elmo and the Collapse Storm... Yeah, that should do for the title!《坍塌风暴与艾莫号》，我相信，这一定是一个绝妙的标题！
Jiangyu...Title?……标题？
Settlement ChiefRight, ahaha... I haven't even gotten started on the script...对，啊哈哈……剧本还没写……
Settlement ChiefIn truth, I just want you to ask the Elmo's Monsoon Squad to put on something for the kids here and talk about some contamination zone common knowledge and maybe a little about what we should do to adjust to the environment here.其实，我是想请你，请艾莫号的季风小队来给我们这里的孩子排演一出舞台剧，主题是讲一些污染区的常识，讲讲怎么才能更好地适应这里的环境。
JiangyuSo we have to put together the script anyway?你的意思是，剧本也要让我们写？
Settlement ChiefIt doesn't have to be that serious; improvisation's fine, too. Just say what needs to be said. It's not like anyone here is a professional anyway.没有这么复杂，即兴也可以？就把要说的那些说完就行了，也不算是个专业的舞台剧。
Settlement ChiefIt's just a shame that the Elmo's really too big to park around here, and would get in the way. Otherwise, we'd be able to put together a set.哎呀，就是很可惜，艾莫号太大了，到我们这边来有点太显眼，只能停在附近，不然还能搭个实景。
Settlement ChiefOnce this place is a bit more built up, maybe we could build a big stage. If that time comes, we'll invite you lot over again.等下次，我们居住点发展起来了，说不定还能专门做一个大舞台，那时候，会再邀请你们来。
JiangyuHm? Again?啊？还有下次？
(Seeing Jiangyu's still disinterested mien, the chief smiles and points in a direction behind her.)（看着绛雨一副兴致缺缺的样子，负责人笑了笑，指了指她身后的一个方向。）
(Jiangyu's eyes follow, and she finds a few tiny heads poking out from behind a mass of rundown wooden boards.)（顺着她指的位置，绛雨看到有几个小脑袋从一大堆破旧的木板后冒了出来。）
Settlement ChiefWe... are all new to the contamination zones. The adults are getting by for the most part. As foreign as the circumstances are, we at least have some life experience. The countless kids with us, though...我们……都是刚进入污染区的。大人还好，虽然还需要适应，但多少有些生活经验……跟着我们来的孩子太多了。
Settlement ChiefTheir parents, they... Well, now that these kids are in our hands, we ought to do what we can to raise them. Problem is the kids know next to nothing about how to acclimate and survive here.孩子们的父母，基本都……总之，既然托付给了我们这些大人，总要努努力，把他们养大。但孩子们对于怎么在污染区生活、怎么适应这里的环境，知道的太少了。
Settlement ChiefYou just saved us, after all. You know how kids are; they're fascinated with their "heroes". If you were to tell them a thing or two, I've no doubt it would make an impression on them!你们刚刚才救了我们，小孩子嘛，总会对你们这些他们看来是“英雄”的人物感兴趣，如果是你们出手，那一定很有效果！
Settlement ChiefLook, over there, the kids are looking at you! Won't you let them see your valorous figure in battle against the ELIDs again?你看那边，有不少孩子在看着你呢！绛雨小姐与生骸战斗时的英勇身姿，请务必让孩子们再看一次！
(The children look on with wide eyes, focused yet curious.)（孩子们睁着一双双黑白分明的眼睛，好奇又专注地盯着绛雨。）
Jiangyu...Alright, alright! But whether or not there'll be a next time is another matter!……好吧好吧！但有没有下次另说哦！
Settlement ChiefSure! Thank you, thank you!没问题！多谢多谢！
(The chief sighs, leaving the scene.)（负责人松了口气，离开了场地。）
(Jiangyu stands still in contemplation, a frown upon her face.)（绛雨站在原地愁眉苦脸地思考了一下。）
JiangyuAnd here I was, thinking that I'd get to just step out and have a nice little stroll with this assignment. Now there's a script to write and a performance to put on... Man, what a bother!我还以为只是下车放松一下的小任务，没想到还要编剧本，排节目……真费劲啊！
CommanderSomething on this scale shouldn't be too difficult for you, right?这种程度的演出，对你来说算不上费劲吧？
CommanderI'll help you with the script.剧本的事，我也会帮忙的。
JiangyuHehe, I was hoping you'd say that.嘿嘿，我就等着长官的这句话呢。
(Jiangyu turns around, sticking out her tongue at me.)（绛雨回过头，对我吐了下舌头。）
(The twin tailed girl is the same as she was before, full of spirit.)（这个绑着双马尾的小姑娘还是和以前一样，活力满满。）
(Daiyan walks towards us from a small distance away.)（不远处，黛烟向着我们走来。）
DaiyanJiangyu, the chief's come to see you, yes?绛雨，负责人来找过你了吧？
JiangyuBig Sis! Seriously! When we get back, you'd better give Zhaohui a good talking to! How could she just say yes so easily as Monsoon Squad's leader? And she hauled the two of us over here! Instead of going herself!老姐！真是的啊！回去艾莫号你可要好好说说朝晖！她作为季风小队的队长怎么能轻易就答应呢！然后答应了还让我和你过来！自己不来！
JiangyuI thought this would just be a walk-on type of gig, maybe with a bit of choreography or drumming, but as a lead... my entire day's gonna be spent here!本来我还以为来跑个龙套，做点武打动作打打鼓之类的，做主演岂不是全天都要耗在这了……
DaiyanThe Commander signed off on this request, you know.这个委托，是长官批准的哦。
JiangyuWha? The Commander?什么？是长官？
CommanderYes, that's why I came here with you—the Elmo's never gotten a request like this before. How to put it... I don't think it's a waste of time at all, and it plays to your strengths. So, I told Zhaohui to accept it.是啊，所以我才和你们一起到这里来——艾莫号之前没有遇到过这样的委托，怎么说呢……我觉得还算有意义，刚好也能发挥你们的长处，所以就让朝晖答应了。
CommanderI think I've got a good idea of the play's content.内容的话，我已经差不多想好了。
DaiyanWhat've you got?是什么呢？
CommanderAs the chief says, despite it being a stage play, all we need to do is enact a few scenarios and tell the children how such situations should be approached.就像那位负责人所说，虽说是舞台剧，也只是需要模拟几个情境，然后告诉孩子们要怎么应对。
CommanderWe'll just string together a few common dangers in the contamination zones based on our experiences.就依照我们的生活经验，总结出一些在污染区里常见的危险事件，然后串起来就行。
DaiyanOne problem is that these kids are very young, and their only experiences are probably localized around this settlement.有一个问题，那些孩子们年纪不大，活动范围应该也就在这个居住点附近吧？
CommanderYou mean to say that some things that are mundane to us might not occur around here at all, right?你是想说，一些事件在我们看起来觉得很常见，但在附近可能也不怎么发生，对吧？
CommanderI thought of that as well. We need to survey the surroundings here before we pick the scenarios we enact.这个问题我也想到了。所以具体选择哪些事件，我们还需要调查一下附近的环境再决定。
DaiyanYeah. On top of that, we also need to—没错。除此之外，我们还要——
JiangyuHold on! You mean that we can go have a bit of a wander around here?打住打住！长官和老姐的意思都是可以去附近逛逛是吧？
JiangyuHooray! I'm off, then!好耶！那我先出发啦！
DaiyanJiangyu!绛雨！
(Jiangyu flashes us a super-wide smile, picking a direction and running off.)（绛雨对我们露出一个大大的笑容，抢先选择了一个方向，跑走了。）
Daiyan(Sigh)……唉。
CommanderWell, I suppose we will have to follow her.担心的话，我们跟上去看看就好了。
DaiyanAlright.好。
DaiyanSpeaking of, how long are we staying here? Is everything on Mayling's side ok?不过说起来，我们要在这里留几天？美玲那边没问题吗？
CommanderThey should be... fine. Everyone else is still there.没问题……吧，大家都在呢。
CommanderWe'll return when we're done with the play here. Let's leave the Elmo with Mayling for now.等到舞台剧演完，我们就回去。艾莫号那边，就先交给美玲吧。
CommanderCome, let's have a look around here.走，我们去附近看看。

Surprise Attack 突然袭击
Read this chapter with voices →DaiyanEnvironmental intel recording complete. Cross-checked by Mayling.环境情报录入完成，美玲也已经交叉确认过。
CommanderI think that's all we need. Let's get back to the settlement.嗯，调查得差不多了，我们回居住点吧。
JiangyuEh? Already? Commander, could we stay just a bit longer—啊？这就结束啦？长官，再留一会好不好——
(Before Jiangyu is done, my terminal rings.)（绛雨话音未落，我的通讯终端响了起来。）
Settlement ChiefEveryone, something's happened!各位！出事了！
(...)（……）
Settlement Chief...That's the long and short of it.……情况就是这样。
Settlement ChiefIt is my fault... There's just too many things to do, and we don't have enough people here to watch over...怪我……事情太多了，我们这人手又不够，没看住……
Settlement ChiefW-what do we do...这、这怎么办啊……
CommanderLet me get things straight.我梳理一下情况。
CommanderWhile we were away surveying the surroundings, the settlement was raided by Varjagers, who took some of your supplies. You managed to evacuate to previously erected shelters with some of the wounded. After the Varjagers left, you found that three children were missing?在我们离开这里、去附近探查期间，居住点受到了一批瓦良格帮的袭击，部分物资被抢走了。 你们都躲到了事先搭好的掩体下，有部分人员受伤。但在瓦良格帮走后，你们发现有3个孩子不见了？
Settlement ChiefY-yeah... they can't have been taken away by the Varjagers, right?对，对……他们不会被瓦良格帮抓走了吧……
DaiyanHow are the wounded?受伤的人，情况怎么样？
Settlement ChiefMinor injuries, mostly...……都是小伤……
CommanderWhat can you tell me about the enemy?敌方情况如何？
Settlement ChiefWe all hid in different places, and couldn't get a good look at their exact number, maybe... ten of them? Two cars.我们都躲在不同位置，看不太清他们具体的数量，应该……有十个？车有两辆。
CommanderBeyond just teaching the kids how to adjust to life here, you might... have to get hands-on with improving the defenses at your settlement, then purchase some weapons.……不只是告诉孩子们要怎么适应污染区的生活，可能……下一步，你们也需要着手完善你们居住点的防御设施，然后，采购一些武器。
CommanderI know a few brokers in the area. I probably can't get you a discount, but I can assure you of the quality. Would you like some recommendations?我这边认识一些暗商，虽说打折不太可能，但品质是有保证的。需不需要推荐给你？
Settlement ChiefTh-thank you...谢谢，谢谢你……
Settlement ChiefWe purchased some supplies from the local brokers as well, but the Collapse storms nearby have been far too frequent and the delivery has been delayed... At this very moment... (Sigh)...我们原本也采购了一些，但这附近坍塌风暴太多了，一直没送过来……就在这个节点上……唉……
CommanderI'll send Poludnitsa's contact details to you, she has more methods available. Anything you need in an emergency, you can get fast from her.我先把佩妮泽的联系方式给你，她那边手段多一些。急用的话，能更快送过来。
(I sigh as the chief struggles to get ahold of herself.)（看负责人有些六神无主，我叹了口气。）
CommanderDaiyan, contact Mayling and ask her to send a reinforcement squad. Make sure Colphne remembers her medkit.黛烟，联络美玲，派小队过来支援，记得让寇尔芙带上医药箱。
CommanderRemain here and help them with whatever they need. Jiangyu, go with me.另外，黛烟你留在这里，看看有没有要帮忙的。绛雨跟我走。
DaiyanAre you going to rescue those children, Commander?长官是要去救那些孩子吗？
CommanderYes. Ten hostiles isn't too many for me and Jiangyu to handle.嗯，十个人，不是很大的规模，我和绛雨应付得来。
CommanderI checked the environmental forecast a moment ago. A Collapse storm is incoming, and the chances are that ELIDs will follow. With Daiyan here, I can rest assured.刚才我看了环境情报，这里马上又要有坍塌风暴，这种情况下，很可能有生骸跟着风暴过来，有黛烟在这里，我也放心一些。
DaiyanWhat if those Varjagers didn't move out in their entirety, and there are more than ten of them?可那些瓦良格帮也有可能没来全，如果数量不止十个呢？
DaiyanWould that not be dangerous?那样的话，不就很危险吗？
JiangyuDon't worry, Big Sis, I'll be there! Leave it to me to keep the Commander safe and sound!放心吧老姐，长官身边可是有我在啊！我会全力保护长官安全的！
DaiyanJiangyu...绛雨……
CommanderIf the numbers are against us, we'll scout out the children's circumstances and prioritize their safety— Judging by what the chief told us and the tire marks on the ground, these Varjagers retreated in the southeast direction after their raid.如果他们人比较多，我和绛雨就先探查一下孩子们的情况，尽可能先保证他们的安全—— 根据居住点负责人的说法，还有地上残留的车轮胎印，这群瓦良格帮在劫掠后，是朝东南方向撤离的。
CommanderWe can track them down via those tracks and send positional updates to the Elmo periodically. By my projections, they have an outpost in that direction. It won't be hard to find them.我们可以根据车轮痕迹追踪，并定期向艾莫号发信、更新位置信息。 我推测，那个方向上有他们的据点之一，要找到他们，并不困难。
CommanderThe others can track our positional signal and prepare to reinforce us if we give the signal.艾莫号的其他人，可以根据我们的位置信号，随时准备支援我们。
JiangyuHehe, so long as we can find them, I can take ten of those Varjager pushovers with an arm tied behind my back! Saving those kids'll be no problem!嘿嘿，只要能找到人，瓦良格帮那种废物，我一脚就能踢飞十个，救回孩子不在话下！
DaiyanJiangyu, do not be so impulsive.绛雨，不可以冲动行事。
JiangyuYeah yeah, I'll listen to the Commander~知道知道，我一定都听长官的~
JiangyuSo don't you worry, okay, Big Sis?这样，老姐能放心了吧？
(Jiangyu blinks a few times in Daiyan's direction.)（绛雨向着黛烟眨了眨眼。）
DaiyanI understand. A prudent arrangement, Commander.我明白了，长官的安排十分妥当。
DaiyanBefore reinforcements from the Elmo arrive, I shall handle things here. Jiangyu, the Commander is in your hands.在艾莫号的支援来之前，这里都交给我。相对的，长官就交给你了，绛雨。
JiangyuLeave it to me! I'll show 'em what I can do~放心交给我吧！看我大显身手~
CommanderAlright, let's go.嗯，那就出发吧。

(I sigh as the chief struggles to get ahold of herself.)（看负责人有些六神无主，我叹了口气。）
CommanderDaiyan, contact Mayling and ask her to send a reinforcement squad. Make sure Colphne remembers her medkit.黛烟，联络美玲，派小队过来支援，记得让寇尔芙带上医药箱。
CommanderRemain here and help them with whatever they need. Jiangyu, go with me.另外，黛烟你留在这里，看看有没有要帮忙的。绛雨跟我走。
DaiyanAre you going to rescue those children, Commander?长官是要去救那些孩子吗？
CommanderYes. Ten hostiles isn't too many for me and Jiangyu to handle.嗯，十个人，不是很大的规模，我和绛雨应付得来。
CommanderI checked the environmental forecast a moment ago. A Collapse storm is incoming, and the chances are that ELIDs will follow. With Daiyan here, I can rest assured.刚才我看了环境情报，这里马上又要有坍塌风暴，这种情况下，很可能有生骸跟着风暴过来，有黛烟在这里，我也放心一些。
DaiyanWhat if those Varjagers didn't move out in their entirety, and there are more than ten of them?可那些瓦良格帮也有可能没来全，如果数量不止十个呢？
DaiyanWould that not be dangerous?那样的话，不就很危险吗？
JiangyuDon't worry, Big Sis, I'll be there! Leave it to me to keep the Commander safe and sound!放心吧老姐，长官身边可是有我在啊！我会全力保护长官安全的！
DaiyanJiangyu...绛雨……
CommanderIf the numbers are against us, we'll scout out the children's circumstances and prioritize their safety— Judging by what the chief told us and the tire marks on the ground, these Varjagers retreated in the southeast direction after their raid.如果他们人比较多，我和绛雨就先探查一下孩子们的情况，尽可能先保证他们的安全—— 根据居住点负责人的说法，还有地上残留的车轮胎印，这群瓦良格帮在劫掠后，是朝东南方向撤离的。
CommanderWe can track them down via those tracks and send positional updates to the Elmo periodically. By my projections, they have an outpost in that direction. It won't be hard to find them.我们可以根据车轮痕迹追踪，并定期向艾莫号发信、更新位置信息。 我推测，那个方向上有他们的据点之一，要找到他们，并不困难。
CommanderThe others can track our positional signal and prepare to reinforce us if we give the signal.艾莫号的其他人，可以根据我们的位置信号，随时准备支援我们。
JiangyuHehe, so long as we can find them, I can take ten of those Varjager pushovers with an arm tied behind my back! Saving those kids'll be no problem!嘿嘿，只要能找到人，瓦良格帮那种废物，我一脚就能踢飞十个，救回孩子不在话下！
DaiyanJiangyu, do not be so impulsive.绛雨，不可以冲动行事。
JiangyuYeah yeah, I'll listen to the Commander~知道知道，我一定都听长官的~
JiangyuSo don't you worry, okay, Big Sis?这样，老姐能放心了吧？
(Jiangyu blinks a few times in Daiyan's direction.)（绛雨向着黛烟眨了眨眼。）
DaiyanI understand. A prudent arrangement, Commander.我明白了，长官的安排十分妥当。
DaiyanBefore reinforcements from the Elmo arrive, I shall handle things here. Jiangyu, the Commander is in your hands.在艾莫号的支援来之前，这里都交给我。相对的，长官就交给你了，绛雨。
JiangyuLeave it to me! I'll show 'em what I can do~放心交给我吧！看我大显身手~
CommanderAlright, let's go.嗯，那就出发吧。
Reliable Assistance 可靠援助
Read this chapter with voices →(I follow the Varjagers' tracks with Jiangyu, infiltrating the interior of an abandoned dock.)（我和绛雨一路追踪着瓦良格帮留下的痕迹，潜入了这座废弃港口的内部。）
(Despite our efforts, we couldn't help but alarm some enemies.)（我们尽力小心，还是难免惊动了一些敌人。）
(Thankfully, Jiangyu moved swiftly, and we managed to get past the undisciplined and poorly armed Varjagers.)（好在绛雨动作迅捷，而这个据点中的瓦良格帮纪律松散，外围守备的火力也不算强悍。）
JiangyuPhew... we're approaching the center of this outpost. Won't be so easy to hide our tracks moving forward.呼……再往前就要进入这个据点的中心了，到时候再想跟现在一样隐藏行踪就不容易了。
(We hide behind a few stacked shipping containers as we scope out a sealed building not far away. This building, formerly a warehouse of this now deserted dock, now has its doors patrolled by gun-toting Varjagers.)（我们藏身于几个堆叠起来的大型集装箱后，望向不远处的一栋封闭建筑。那应该是这座废弃港口曾经的仓库，大门外不时有瓦良格帮的成员持枪走过。）
(Jiangyu lets out a long sigh with a grimace on her face.)（绛雨苦着一张脸，长叹了一口气。）
JiangyuCommander, are those children really here?长官，那些孩子真的在这里吗？
JiangyuWe didn't hear the Varjagers talk about children or anything like that on the way here... Could we have made a mistake?刚才一路过来，也没听到这些瓦良格帮提到过孩子什么的……会不会是我们弄错了？
CommanderThree children do not disappear into thin air. If they went missing after the Varjager attack, their whereabouts are without a doubt related to that incident.但3个孩子不可能凭空消失。既然是在瓦良格帮袭击后失踪，那他们的去向就一定和这件事有关。
JiangyuThat makes sense, but... where exactly are they?是这么说啦……那他们到底在哪呢？
CommanderAllow me to speculate, Jiangyu. If, for example, some Varjagers stole away some of the Elmo's supplies, what would you do?其实我有一个推测……绛雨，如果有一天，一群瓦良格帮突然抢走了艾莫号上的物资，你会怎么做？
JiangyuHuh? Beat the snot out of them and get what's ours back, of course!啊？当然是痛打他们一顿，把东西抢回来啊！
CommanderWhat if the numbers heavily favor the enemy, and you can't beat all of them yourself?但如果对方人数众多，你一个人打不过呢？
JiangyuEh? Then... follow them at first? Then look for a chance to take all of them out!欸？那就……那就先跟上去？再找机会，把他们一网打尽！
JiangyuWe can't just let them have our supplies, no matter what!不管怎么说，艾莫号的物资绝对不可能交给他们！
CommanderI thought as much.我想也是。
CommanderI would say chances are that those children are hidden somewhere inside, wherever the supplies are stored.所以我推测，那些孩子，没准就藏在这个据点的某一处、用来囤放物资的地方。
JiangyuHuh?啊？
CommanderLike you said, would anyone just stand by and watch their supplies vital to their own survival being stolen away?就像你说的，眼睁睁看着自己赖以生存的物资被抢走，谁都不会甘心吧？
CommanderCould it be possible... that the kids followed the Varjagers after their raid, looking to get their settlement's supplies back?有没有可能……那些孩子为了保护居住点的物资，在瓦良格帮袭击居住点后，偷偷跟上了瓦良格帮，想要找机会将物资带回来？
JiangyuB-but they're just little kids, could they really be that gutsy?但、但他们还那么小啊，会有这样的胆量吗？
CommanderDo not underestimate humanity—even its youngest members.不能小看人类啊——就算只是年幼的人类。
CommanderOne does not survive for long without guts in the contamination zones.没有胆量的人，是无法在污染区里长久地生存下去的。
CommanderIf I am right, we must face the Varjagers head-on if we want to mount a rescue operation. In the interest of safety, we should contact Mayling and wait for another squad to arrive.不过，如果我的假设为真，要进行救援，就必然要和这里的瓦良格帮正面对上。 考虑安全性的话，现在联络美玲再派个小队来支援，会更保险一些。
CommanderIt will take time for reinforcements to arrive, though, and it would be disastrous if the children exposed themselves.但支援毕竟需要时间，在这段时间里，如果那些孩子提前暴露，就危险了。
JiangyuLet me sneak in!我来潜入吧！
CommanderHm?嗯？
JiangyuI'll go sniff out where they're hiding while you support me from outside.我先去找一找孩子们藏在哪里，长官就在外面支援我。
JiangyuWhen reinforcements get here, I should have already found them. Then, we'll act together and get the kids out!然后，等艾莫号的支援到了，我应该也能找到孩子们了嘛，那时候，我们就里外配合，把孩子们带出来！
CommanderWill you manage alone?你一个人，可以吗？
JiangyuDon't underestimate me!不要小看我呀！
JiangyuI'm an ex-Griffin Elite! Do you really not know what I'm capable of, Commander?我可是前·格里芬精英！我的能力，长官还不知道吗？
(Given the current circumstances, this is indeed a good solution.)（就眼下的情况来说，这的确是比较好的方案。）
(Let's leave it to her.)（那就交给她吧。）
CommanderAlright, be careful.好，一切小心。
JiangyuDon't worry~放心放心~
(She gives me an "ok" hand sign, leaving with her weapon in hand. A few seconds later, she successfully approaches one of the building's corners.)（绛雨向我比了一个“OK”的手势，抱起枪转身离去。几秒之后，她就顺利靠近了仓库的一角。）
(While no one is around, she smashes a glass pane, deftly vaulting the window—)（趁着四下无人，绛雨敲破了仓库角落处的一扇玻璃，翻身入内——）
JiangyuMm... I wanted to put on a show for the Commander, but this place is so big. Where do I even start looking?唔……虽然是想在长官面前表现一下啦，但这里这么大，要从哪里开始找起呢？
Jiangyu...Someone's here?——有人？
Easygoing MemberNot bad at all. This place didn't look big at all, but those are some impressive spoils.不错啊，那地方看着不大，东西还不少。
Calm MemberIt seems they just got here, and maybe they came from the other side of "that", you know.说是刚到这边来的，说不定还是从那里面来的。
Easygoing MemberOf what... Oh, you mean the Great Wall Railway?哪里面……哦，你说长城列车？
Calm MemberYeah, that's what it's called.是吧，是这名儿。
JiangyuWhew, close call...好险好险……
JiangyuThese people just walk about with no pattern, nowhere's safe... Ah, to speak of it... Where would I be if I had to hide here?这些人走来走去也没个规律，藏在哪里都不安全……啊，这么说来……如果是我的话，会藏在哪里呢？
JiangyuTo avoid their patrols as well as retrieve the supplies... Just three kids can hardly carry any supplies, right? And getting from here back to the settlement would require some method of transportation...要想避开这些人的巡逻，还要想办法拿回居住点的物资…… 几个小孩的话，也搬不了太多东西吧？而且从这里回居住点，靠走的肯定不行，得有交通工具……
(Jiangyu pokes her head out, cautiously observing the situation inside the warehouse.)（绛雨探出头去，谨慎地观察着仓库里的情况。）
(Suddenly, she catches sight of a few parked small trucks on the other side of the building.)（忽然，她的视觉模块捕捉到了仓库另一端停放的几辆小型运输车。）
JiangyuYeah, that looks good!嗯，有很大可能！
(After calculating the shortest route, she finds a timing and quickly slinks over.)（估算了最短路线后，她找准时机，快速地潜伏了过去。）
(She adjusts her auditory modules, turning them up to the max—)（路上，她调整了一下自己的听觉模块，将功率加到最大——）
Smug ChildHmph... these guys are on another level of stupid, leaving the keys on the vehicle in open view.哼……这些人真够蠢的，启动器就大摇大摆插在车上。
Smug ChildIn another two hours, it'll be dark outside. After these bandits fall asleep, we'll leave in this self-driving car.再等两个小时，外面就会天黑。我们等这些匪徒睡着以后，就启动这辆车的自动驾驶离开。
(1...)（1……）
Timid ChildCan we really get out? If... if they catch up to us, it'll go really bad, right?真的能逃出去吗？如果……如果被他们追上，就糟糕了吧？
(2...)（2……）
Smug ChildThat's why we're waiting till they're asleep! We'll barge out the doors, and there's no way they'll react in time...所以要等他们睡着啊！到时候我们直接撞门出去，他们反应不过来的……
Cautious ChildShh—quiet down, someone's going to hear us!嘘——你们声音小一点，别被人听到了！
(3!)（3！）
(Three different voices! All three missing children are here!)（3个不同的声音，说明失踪的3个孩子都在这里！）
(Jiangyu breathes a sigh of relief, immediately sending a message via her communications terminal.)（绛雨松了一口气，立刻摸出随身携带的通讯终端，发出了一条信息。）
Timid ChildJeez, another two hours... I... I'm feeling hungry...怎么还有两个小时……我……我有点饿了……
Smug ChildAre you an idiot? Deal with it!你是笨蛋吗！给我忍着！
(Jiangyu circles around behind a truck, and silently enters its cargo hold filled with supplies.)（绛雨绕到运输车后，无声无息地潜入了装满物资的车厢。）
Cautious ChildDon't be like that... Just having a little something when you're hungry is fine, right?不要这么凶啊……实在饿了，稍微吃点也可以吧？
Cautious ChildEverything here was originally ours anyway, right... Ah! (Mumbles)这一车的东西本来就是我们的吧……啊！唔唔唔……
JiangyuShh—it's me!嘘——是我！
(Jiangyu covers the mouth of the child who came close to yelling, and motions at the other two to be quiet.)（绛雨捂住那名差点大叫的孩子的嘴，又对其他两个孩子比了个噤声的手势。）
(Her terminal rings with a return message—The Elmo will arrive in 25 minutes; prepare to evac.)（与此同时，她的终端收到了一条回信——艾莫号将在25分钟后抵达，准备突围。）
(She gives the shocked children a reassuring smile, then extends her hand, flicking the children's foreheads one by one—)（绛雨朝目瞪口呆的孩子们露出一个“放心吧，已经没事了”的笑容，接着她伸手，在3个孩子的脑门上轮流弹了一下——）
JiangyuDid that hurt?痛吗？
Cautious ChildOwie...痛痛痛……
JiangyuBullets hurt much more. Don't go off on your own and make the adults worry, you little sillies.子弹可比这个痛多了。不要擅自行动，让大人担心啊，小笨蛋们。
JiangyuImagine I was a Varjager who just found you three. What would you do?万一我是瓦良格帮的人，现在发现了你们三个，你们打算怎么办？
Cautious ChildI...……我……
Timid ChildWe...……我们……
Smug Child...We could run.……我们可以逃跑。
JiangyuRun where? Their people are all over the place—往哪里跑啊？这里四处都是他们的人——
Smug ChildWe all know how to drive, and this car can even drive itself.我们都会开车，而且，这辆车可以自动驾驶。
JiangyuI could shoot out your tires or throw a grenade in your way.我可以用枪打爆你的轮胎，也可以朝你们车前方扔榴弹。
Smug ChildYou... your aim isn't always that good... and we have a backup plan...你……你不一定瞄得准……而且我们还有备用方案……
JiangyuHm? Do tell me of this backup plan.什么样的备用方案，说来听听？
(The children lower their heads, finding no words to say.)（孩子们都低下了头，半天没有说出话来。）
(Jiangyu releases a lengthy sigh.)（绛雨长长地叹了一口气。）
JiangyuWhen your plans are inflexible and you mis-evaluate your own abilities, you'll create problems for others.计划赶不上变化，错估自己的能力，可是会给身边的人带来大麻烦的。
JiangyuWhen the chief realized you were missing, she almost cried, you know. When you get back, you better apologize to her proper, got it?那位负责人女士发现你们不见了的时候，急得差点就要哭出来了呢。 回去以后，要好好跟她道歉哦？
(The children give each other looks, then nod at Jiangyu.)（孩子们互相看了看对方，最后对绛雨点了点头。）
JiangyuSo long as you understand~知道就好~
JiangyuNow, all of you... listen to me.接下来……你们3个，全部听我指挥。
JiangyuNo time for a full play, so I'll just give all of you a practical lesson today—about how to retreat safely when surrounded by enemies. Watch closely!舞台剧是来不及了，今天我就先给你们上一节实践课吧——如何在敌人的包围中安全撤退，看仔细咯！

Echoes From the Future 未来回音
Read this chapter with voices →(With the Elmo's fire support and assistance from Jiangyu, we manage to rescue the children.)（在艾莫号的火力支援和绛雨的协助下，我们顺利救回了那几个孩子。）
(Upon our return to the settlement with the children, the chief thanks us profusely, adding a considerable sum to the request's payment.)（返回居住点，负责人看到我们带回了孩子，不断向我们道谢，还追加了一笔相当可观的委托报酬。）
Settlement ChiefThank you, truly. If it weren't for you, chances are that these kids wouldn't have made their way back.真的太感谢你们了，如果不是有你们在，这些孩子多半就回不来了。
CommanderI'm just glad I could help. However, if you want the children to adjust to life in the contamination zones, I'm afraid a stage play won't do much good. To develop their sense of danger, you still need to—客气了。但如果你想让孩子们适应在污染区的生活，一场舞台剧，恐怕没什么用。 他们对危险的认知，还需要你们好好引——
JiangyuCome on! Just a bit more!加油！加油！再坚持一下！
(I walk outside with the chief, finding Jiangyu in an open field out front.)（我和负责人一起走出门外，发现绛雨就在门外的空地上。）
(More than a dozen children of varied height stand before her—practicing the horse stance.)（她的面前是十几个高度不一的小孩——在扎马步。）
Commander...What are you doing?……你们在干什么？
JiangyuHehe, I'm teaching them martial arts.嘿嘿，我在教他们武术。
CommanderMartial arts?武术？
JiangyuOf course! A firm stance is the foundation of martial arts!对啊，扎实的马步可是武术的基础啊！
(As she speaks, Jiangyu pulls off a magnificent flying kick.)（绛雨说着，朝虚空使出了一个漂亮的飞踢。）
JiangyuTo deliver a good kick, one must have strong legs—See? If you keep practicing, you'll eventually be able to do this too!要想踢出力道，就必须有超强的腿部力量——看到了吗？只要你们坚持练习，早晚也能做出这样的动作！
(I put a hand to my forehead as I watch the children gaze in awe at Jiangyu's display of prowess...)（眼看孩子们对帅气的绛雨面露崇拜，我捂住了额头。）
CommanderIf you teach them this stuff, they...你教他们这些，万一……
JiangyuThat's not everything I've taught them, Commander.我不止教了这些哦，长官。
JiangyuI made them promise that they wouldn't go off on their own and make everyone worry before they had mastered a kick like that. If you can't protect yourself in your endeavors, you're only making more trouble for others.我还跟他们约好了，在能够做到这么标准的飞踢前，不可以再擅自行动，害大家担心了。 毕竟如果想要去做什么的时候，却不能保护自己，这样只会给别人添麻烦啊。
JiangyuAfter all—I of all people would know!我——可是最懂这个道理的人了！
(She flashes me a shrewd smile.)（在我开口前，绛雨朝我狡黠一笑。）
JiangyuI knew what you wanted to say, Commander, so I went ahead and did it for you!我知道长官想说什么，所以我全都说完啦！
JiangyuBig Sis, Groza, and the others should be ready. We should get ready to leave, Commander~啊长官，老姐和闪电她们已经准备好了，我们该走了哟~
Commander...Alright.……好。
(I walk to Jiangyu's side, beholding her countenance.)（我走到绛雨身边，看着她的面庞。）
(She looks barely changed compared to back then. All things considered though, through all of these years' trials, she's already grown up.)（她的面容和过去一样，几乎没有改变。但事实上，经历过这么多年的磨练，她早就成长起来了。）
(With her on the Elmo, I can take it easy a bit, right?)（有她在艾莫号，我也可以更轻松一些了吧？）
Echoes From the Future 未来回音
Read this chapter with voices →(With the Elmo's fire support and assistance from Jiangyu, we manage to rescue the children.)（在艾莫号的火力支援和绛雨的协助下，我们顺利救回了那几个孩子。）
(Upon our return to the settlement with the children, the chief thanks us profusely, adding a considerable sum to the request's payment.)（返回居住点，负责人看到我们带回了孩子，不断向我们道谢，还追加了一笔相当可观的委托报酬。）
Settlement ChiefThank you, truly. If it weren't for you, chances are that these kids wouldn't have made their way back.真的太感谢你们了，如果不是有你们在，这些孩子多半就回不来了。
CommanderI'm just glad I could help. However, if you want the children to adjust to life in the contamination zones, I'm afraid a stage play won't do much good. To develop their sense of danger, you still need to—客气了。但如果你想让孩子们适应在污染区的生活，一场舞台剧，恐怕没什么用。 他们对危险的认知，还需要你们好好引——
JiangyuCome on! Just a bit more!加油！加油！再坚持一下！
(I walk outside with the chief, finding Jiangyu in an open field out front.)（我和负责人一起走出门外，发现绛雨就在门外的空地上。）
(More than a dozen children of varied height stand before her—practicing the horse stance.)（她的面前是十几个高度不一的小孩——在扎马步。）
Commander...What are you doing?……你们在干什么？
JiangyuHehe, I'm teaching them martial arts.嘿嘿，我在教他们武术。
CommanderMartial arts?武术？
