Synopsis
Into Lungmen
December 27, 1096: four days after their escape from Chernobog, Rhodes Island arrives at the Yan nomadic city of Lungmen to form an alliance with its defense force, the Lungmen Guard Department, and protect the city from the looming Reunion threat. Upon reaching the Inspection and Quarantine zone, the Doctor and Amiya meet a stern Lung woman named Ch'en, the Superintendent of the L.G.D.. Though she seems to be a harsh woman who despises the Infected, noted by her suppression of an Infected riot at the Quarantine zone, she lets the guests into Lungmen as part of the negotiations regardless.
When they reach the office, the Doctor and Amiya find Kal'tsit, the unofficial leader of R.I., debating with the governor of Lungmen, Wei Yenwu. Kal'tsit attempts to convince Wei to consider her plan, as Lungmen will become Reunion's next target, but he doubts R.I.'s ability. Amiya steps in and promises Wei that only R.I. can peacefully handle the issues surrounding the Infected. To prove their capabilities, she reveals that R.I. not only survived the catastrophe in Chernobog, but has also fought Talulah, the leader of Reunion. After deep consideration, Wei finally agrees with Kal'tsit and allows R.I. to cooperate with the L.G.D. to eliminate the Reunion threat.
The Girl and the Key
The first mission of the cooperation is to search for Misha, a Chernobog refugee who has sensitive intel and is currently living in the slums of Lungmen. With aid from Penguin Logistics and Blacksteel, R.I. fends off a force of Reunion infiltrators. When they encounter Misha in an abandoned building, Misha doesn't trust them, and thinks they are there to arrest her. Amiya persuades Misha by telling her that they are Infected too, and that only by staying with them and the L.G.D. will Misha be safe from harassment. Convinced, Misha decides to follow them and willingly hands herself to the L.G.D..
However, things begin to go south as the Reunion Assault Squad, led by Skullshatterer, arrives in Lungmen to also search for Misha. Their appearance causes conflict between the joint forces and Reunion fighters. Seeing that R.I. has taken Misha into L.G.D. custody, Skullshatterer angrily vows to crush them all. He diverts the joint forces by having his team ambush R.I. in an alley, where W attacks the L.G.D. and takes Misha. When the battle is over, R.I. immediately regroups with the L.G.D. to prepare for a rescue mission.
