Chapter 290: Chapter 262: Resurrection

```

Seeing Farosa’s unexpectedly formidable magic power, aside from Pan Ruiyi, the other five members of the special task force suddenly showed expressions of surprise, deeply shocked by the abrupt appearance of the man and woman.

Upon their arrival, not only did they instantly annihilate all Black Fire Scout members, but they also restored the severely injured Pan Ruiyi to her original peak condition, completely beyond expectation! They held their breaths, and the oppression and pain that had accumulated over days dissipated considerably; their demeanors improved slightly, finally seeing a glimmer of hope for survival!

"You arrived just in time!" Pan Ruiyi was equally elated, "We’ve been trapped on this island for over a month! We thought we were all going to fall here! But now, it seems there’s still hope!"

Then, she knelt on one knee before Farosa, lowering her head to declare her complete subordination.

"My first knight." Farosa caressed Pan Ruiyi’s hair, from the ends to the crown, taking a strand of her black hair into her palm to play with, like she would with a pet. Pan Ruiyi was extremely submissive throughout, without a hint of resistance.

"Wow..."

"The captain... she’s actually..." Seeing this scene, the rest of the team members were even more astonished.

The usually domineering and proud Captain Pan Ruiyi was now kneeling on the ground like a little dog, allowing a stranger to touch her.

Farosa withdrew her hand and looked at Pan Ruiyi with a profound gaze, then she got up with a cheerful smile.

"Company! People!" Pan Ruiyi pounced towards Xu Yang, hugging him tightly. Xu Yang only felt like he had been hit by a piece of iron, and was then faced with Pan Ruiyi’s pretty countenance; not only was she beautiful, but her stature was also exceptionally striking, tall with long legs, indescribably lovely.

"We meet again," Xu Yang whispered.

"Hehe," Pan Ruiyi chuckled softly, reveling in the joy of having survived a disaster.

Just 10 minutes ago, she was contemplating how to die with dignity, but now Xu Yang and Farosa had suddenly appeared before her! They pulled her back from the brink of death! The sheer contrast from one moment to the next filled her with boundless joy.

For Xu Yang, there was a subtle sentiment involved. In the past few years, he had been just a company man, occasionally seeing the fully-armored field witches come and go, feeling like they were from two different worlds, and the Battle Witches usually showed nothing but disdain for ordinary staff, typically snubbing them.

But now it was entirely different, Pan Ruiyi was right in front of him, complex memories of the company overlapping with the reality before him, creating an eerily magical atmosphere. It gave him the sensation of breaking rules, exceptionally adventurous and doubly exciting.

Pan Ruiyi, having left Xu Yang and Farosa’s company much earlier, didn’t know how far their relationship had developed, still thinking they were just close business partners without giving it much thought, and quickly approached to vent her post-disaster elation.

However, she had a strong ability to read the room and instantly felt that Farosa was cutting her with her gaze, so at the end, she hugged Xu Yang tightly, then finally let him go.

"Time to get to work!" Pan Ruiyi cheerfully declared.

She rebooted her entire Witch Armor; the helmet closed up, completely sealing off the front, leaving only elliptical breathing holes and integrated visual equipment, the metal armor wrapping around her body, while also providing suitable contours, outlining her exquisite figure. The Iron Wings at her back were in a closed position, their edges sharp, complementing the overall armor design, exuding a professional temperament dedicated to warfare.

As an elite Battle Witch, Pan Ruiyi was undoubtedly a pillar of strength for a mega-corporation, her magic power "specialized in close combat", enhancing her physical abilities, reflexes, and destructive power among other qualities, comprehensively boosting her combat efficacy. She had also declared that as long as the fight took place within five steps, she could defeat any opponent.

With her rich combat experience, she was one of the outstanding High-Ranking Witches, having a name on the world witches’ list, and now returning to Farosa’s side, she was ever on the verge of evolving into a Dominator Witch! With this, aside from Lila, Nestor Corporation would have a second Dominator Witch, significantly increasing their overall strength. This costly trip to Nangong Island turned out to have its rewards after all.

Beyond that, Pan Ruiyi’s qualifications were solid, capable of becoming the cornerstone of the entire Witch Division. Whether it was fighting ability, willpower, or leadership, she was top-notch; her role in the future would be irreplaceable.

"Captain... I’m sorry to ask, but who are they?" inquired a witch with short black hair, dressed in a white tight leather battle suit.

Xu Yang observed her uniform, with the striking emblem of Kyushu High Pavilion on one side of her chest and the badge of the Quick Reaction Force on the other, her rank being a senior combatant.

"Ahem." Pan Ruiyi turned to Xu Yang and Farosa to introduce the short-haired combatant, "She’s my deputy, also the deputy commander of the entire special task force, Zhang Yunxi."

"..." Zhang Yunxi eyed Farosa warily.

Her magic power left the deputy commander thoroughly stunned, completely out of her imagination; she perceived Farosa as a powerful Reality Manipulator.

"Introduce them," Farosa said with ease.

"Ah, it’s indeed time to be open about it!" Pan Ruiyi bravely announced, stomping her foot on the rock, introducing Farosa to the team members, "Sisters, this is the Witch Goddess! The formidable figure who will lead all witches towards transformation and revival!"

"Pleased to meet you," Farosa said with a soft smile.

"What..."

"Witch Goddess?"

"This..." The other members showed doubtful expressions, and Zhang Yunxi furrowed her brows even more.

"This one..." Pan Ruiyi looked toward Xu Yang, "...this one is even more significant. Just call him Mr. Xu."

"Hello," Xu Yang examined these five special task force members, it seemed that only the deputy leader was a witch, while the other four women were well-trained special forces soldiers.

At that moment, all of them were tense and anxious, without a doubt, this special task force had been terrified within the mutating Nangong Island, pushed to the brink of collapse, unable to bear any further accidents.

"Witch Goddess..." Zhang Yunxi had to be responsible for everyone’s safety, "...Captain, how do you know this? Did you make contact with her beforehand? Does the management know about this?"

"Screw the management," scoffed Pan Ruiyi, "I’m done with it! I had already planned to leave Kyushu High Pavilion! Who wants to be a lap dog for those old farts! Toil like livestock! I want to live a free and easy life!"

"This is corporate betrayal!" Zhang Yunxi exclaimed in alarm, "How can you dare..."

"Enough." Pan Ruiyi flexed her fist, "Acting like you’ve lost your memory, huh? Don’t forget! It’s because of the messy orders from those businessmen that we were sent to Nangong Island to deal with things we simply couldn’t handle, as if we were specially responsible for wiping their asses! Are you content with this kind of life?"

"Ah..." Zhang Yunxi lowered her head, letting out a sigh.

"The situation is clear now!" Pan Ruiyi stood tall and proud, "Either abandon the stupid pig businessmen and their dog basket and carve out a new path to life, or die here! I will personally liberate you all!"

"We will only take allies and partners out of Nangong Island," concluded Xu Yang, "If anyone wishes to remain loyal to Kyushu High Pavilion until death, I can totally understand that."

"Whimper..."

"So be it..."

"Follow the Captain!" Having witnessed Pan Ruiyi’s strength, the special task force members decided to betray Kyushu High Pavilion amidst the crisis-ridden Nangong Island.

They tore off their work badges and chest pins with force as a sign of switching allegiances.

Xu Yang made a brief check and found they all carried control chips and location devices, however, this was an alternate space, naturally, it would have no effect. Xu Yang provided them with simple shielding programs so that, once back in reality, they could hold out for a while. Then, they just needed to head to Old Cui’s place promptly for removal to fully eliminate future troubles.

"All of you are outstanding soldiers," Xu Yang concluded, "We, too, are an organization that acts logically and will provide excellent living conditions and salaries; there’s no need to worry about your lives undergoing any drastic changes."

"What are... your principles and stance?" Zhang Yunxi looked at the work badge she had personally discarded, her beautiful face now showing signs of deep worry and fear.

"Change the status quo," Xu Yang said, "Once we safely leave Nangong Island, by then you should have a deeper experience by participating in our actual tasks. And your magical power is?"

"My magic power is Replication Magic, but I need to learn beforehand," Zhang Yunxi assumed a stance specialized in close combat, clearly having copied Pan Ruiyi’s magic.

"My deputy is indeed very impressive," Pan Ruiyi patted her shoulder.

Replication Magic, eh... Xu Yang mused internally. Seems like it will be very useful in the future.

"Ah," realizing the hunger evident on the other task force members’ faces, Pan Ruiyi reverted to her state five days ago when they still had a little food left. Yesterday, they had officially run out, she then looked hopefully towards Xu Yang, "You see, everyone is starving..."

Due to lessons learned from numerous crises, Xu Yang carried a lot of provisions, and because of his disguise, he regularly wore very thick clothing with strong storage capabilities.

He casually reached into his clothes and started pulling out items like chocolate, sweet cookies, canned meat, compressed biscuits, bread, and bagged pure water, distributing it in a circle.

"Thank you!"

"Wow... thank you so much!"

"We’ve come back to life!" The task force members were pleasantly surprised and immensely grateful.

"Once you’ve regained your strength, it’s time to get to work!" Pan Ruiyi said confidently, "We are going to escape this dire situation!"
