Asura of Tomorrow's Ark

"This……"

Elena didn't know how to answer for a moment. How could she know if she had obtained the authorization...

After Ferdinand gave her this task, he disappeared without a trace. Even Elena, his student, could not contact him. Who knows whether the Energy Department has reached an agreement with Bol Pharmaceuticals? .

But after thinking for a moment, Elena quickly realized that there was no need for her to worry about such a thing.

If Ball Pharmaceuticals does not want to pay a large amount of liquidated damages, there is no reason to prevent them from entering Lot 21.

"We have signed a contract with Ball Pharmaceuticals before, and we will be able to obtain authorization from them soon." Elena said solemnly, "So Dr. Kelsey, I hope Rhode Island can prepare manpower as soon as possible for us to get it." Once authorized, head to Lot 21 immediately.”

Although she didn't know the specific content of the company's cooperation project, Elena could more or less understand the importance of this matter when she saw her mentor being so angry.

On the way to Rhode Island, Elena also found out the basic situation of Lot 21.

That urban area suffered from the most common weather-related natural disasters, but this was not good news.

The rainwater carrying Origin Stone contamination is almost pervasive, and it is completely devastating to the fragile information storage equipment. Even the laboratory with the highest security level cannot guarantee that it will be intact under such circumstances. Elena is worried about the time After procrastinating for a long time, we could only find the remains of experimental data that were completely impossible to repair.

"Dr. Kelsey, this is the entrustment agreement we have drawn up. Please take a look at it."

Elena took out the contract document from her backpack and handed it to Kelsey respectfully.

After taking the contract and scanning it for a few times, Kelsey didn't find any problems. There were no text traps in the entrustment agreement. The official seal of the Energy Department and the signature of Director Ferdinand were all present. The only thing that was a little wrong might be the entrustment. The remuneration is too generous. For Rhode Island, whose economic situation is not very good, this project alone can feed them for several months.

However, considering the difficulty of surveying heavily polluted areas and the slightly tight time limit, this commission is quite reasonable.

However, Kelsey did not rush to sign her name. Instead, she shook her head and said, "One week is too short. Your company provided almost no useful information. You also spent some time in Rhode Island." , knowing how difficult it is to operate in a polluted area, not to mention this is a complete urban area.”

Elena was also a little embarrassed when she was told that the one-week time limit was indeed too much, but if it was delayed for a month or two, then the commission would be meaningless.

"Dr. Kelsey, I think we can talk more."

Taking a gentle breath, Elena showed a forced smile.

Neither Rhodes Island nor Rheinland Life is willing to give in easily, and the negotiations between them have entered a time of meaningless trash talk.

On the other side, after listening to their conversation, Leon and Adele had new doubts at the same time.

"Their purpose seems to have nothing to do with what we are investigating." Adele's expression was slightly confused.

They originally thought that the riot at Lot Zero was caused by these two Colombians, but judging from the clues revealed in the conversation just now, the two guests from the Energy Department seemed to have nothing to do with the riot. They really just happened to come. Experimental data is recovered here.

"I feel the same way." Li Ang nodded.

The little girl named Elena is the most typical scholar. It can be seen from her performance that she does not have that much care.

The current dispute is the same, but Kelsey is bullying the other party based on her life experience. The silly little girl reveals everything she should and should not say.

"Probably just a coincidence."

Leon recalled the scale of Rhine's life, and it seemed that this coincidence was not unexpected.

"Rheinland Life is a very large organization, which can basically be regarded as a union of several large companies. The cooperation between the Energy Department and Ball Pharmaceuticals does not prevent other departments from Rheinland Life from coming here to do things."

"But... what kind of cooperation can Energy Science have with pharmaceutical companies?"

One thing to say, indeed.

Li Ang would not be surprised at all if it were the Structural Department, the Life Sciences Department, or even the Originium Technology Application Department and Ball Pharmaceuticals, but why was it the Energy Department?

The Energy Department mainly studies the storage and application of various energy sources such as source stones, sunlight, geothermal energy, and biology. Two unrelated industries have joined forces to conduct experiments. Li Ang really can't guess what they are doing.

"...I'm not very sure." Li Ang shook his head, "But there are indeed many things hidden in Lot 21, and I only know about one of the secret laboratories."

Previously, Lot 21 was completely reserved for Ball Pharmaceuticals. Who knows how many holes Adams and Ayin drilled there. Li Ang originally planned to wait for the source stone pollution there to naturally subside, and then find someone to slowly recover the secrets inside.

As for the experimental facilities that may be damaged during this period, Li Ang doesn't care at all.

The production data of Boer Pharmaceutical's main business are well preserved. What is buried in Lot 21 can only be some shady research. Even if the complete experimental data can be recovered, there is a high probability that Li Ang will not continue those researches, so It's better to be out of sight and out of mind, and pretend those things don't exist.

Not long ago, the secretary sent several messages to Li Ang, and Li Ang also learned the name of the project that the two companies had previously cooperated with——

fantasy.

"Tsk, what a terrible name." Li Ang couldn't help but smacked his mouth.

This name reminded him of some very bad things, such as what Adams did back then... Could that be what the 'Dream' plan refers to?From a literal point of view, the two are barely related.

However, the secretary also said that there is no trace related to it in the company's database. If you want to find the truth, you still have to go and take a look in person.

"Adele, I decided to go with them to the ruins of Lot 21 to check out the situation."

"What about me? Do you need me to come with you?"

"Let me check on you first."

With that said, Li Ang took Adele's wrist, and his senses spread along the contact parts of their bodies, carefully exploring the situation in Adele's body.

After a moment, under Adele's expectant gaze, Li Ang slowly shook his head.

"No, the density of Origin Stone crystals in your blood has increased again. I can't let you go deeper into the contaminated area."

During their trip to Dongguo and Yanguo, they had actually been running around in the wilderness for several months, and they had come into contact with so many messy things. It was natural that Adele's condition would worsen.

Even if Leon can help Adele control the level of infection in her body, it does not mean that she can ignore the ore disease.

The process of petrification of human organs is irreversible. Adele's condition is already relatively serious, and Li Ang cannot guarantee what will happen if it worsens.

The exploration of land in abandoned urban areas is a very long process. To be on the safe side, it is better not to let Adele enter the contaminated area.

Adele originally wanted to argue, but when she saw Li Ang's firm expression, she knew there was no chance.

"OK then."

Turning her head to the other side, Adele looked unhappy.

Li Ang couldn't help but scratch his head. Didn't he say before that he preferred to stay at home?Why are you angry now?

It’s really hard to understand…

"They seem to have finished talking. I just want to go over and get acquainted."

At this time, Li Ang already had a preliminary plan in mind.

"The rest is up to you, Doctor Kelsey."

Seeing Kelsey sign her name on the contract and stamp it with the official seal belonging to Rhode Island, Elena finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Elena had done a lot of negotiating and cooperating on behalf of the Energy Department, but the negotiation just now was definitely the most tiring one, and she was even more in awe of Kelsey.

At the cost of a 20.00% increase in commission fees and an extension to two weeks, the Energy Department finally reached an agreement with Rhode Island.

"Rhode Island needs two days to prepare, and after two days, if you can get the authorization, we can start taking action."

Kelsey's voice was still calm, and the heated argument just now did not have the slightest impact on her. "But I would like to make a suggestion. You can ask Ball Pharmaceuticals to send someone to supervise this operation. Rhode Island does not want it to be affected by the property rights between you." Disputes lead to trouble.”

"I understand. I will tell the director later and ask him to contact the person in charge of Bol Pharmaceuticals." Elena nodded. This was indeed a point she had ignored before.

After the business talk was over, the atmosphere in the office became a lot more relaxed.

While sorting out the documents in her hands, Kelsey asked casually, "How is your health now?"

"Eh...that...hahaha..."

Elena's expression suddenly froze, she was speechless, and in the end she could only laugh a few times.

Looking at Elena's performance, Kelsey knew that she definitely didn't take the doctor's advice to heart. She kept saying "yes, yes," in front of the doctor, but she would still do whatever she wanted to do after she went back. She had seen many such people.

"There should be no problem..." Elena muttered quietly.

Kelsey was noncommittal, "Before going to see your sister, go to the medical department for an examination."

"Eh? There's no need to go to such trouble, right? I haven't had any special feelings lately, and Rheinland Life is also doing regular physical examinations."

Elena curled her lips, looking a little reluctant.

Now that the job was done, Elena couldn't wait to surprise her sister.

But if you follow Kelsey's instructions and go to the medical department for a physical examination, the whole process will take at least four or five hours, and the sun will probably have set by then.

"If the Rhine life test was useful, they wouldn't have sent you to Rhode Island in the first place." Kelsey said lightly.

Rhode Island is the authority on mineral sickness in Terra's medical community. Regarding the research on mineral sickness, no person or organization on this land dares to say that it can compare with Rhode Island.

"Also, don't forget the special situation of you two sisters. You don't want to affect Xingji anymore, right?"

Elena couldn't refute the reasons given by Kelsey at all, she wilted like an eggplant beaten by frost.

Because of the special connection between the two sisters, Elena caused her sister to be infected with ore disease. Although Xingji himself didn't say anything, this incident was always a thorn in Elena's heart.

Even if she doesn't cherish her own body, she still has to consider her sister's health. If her condition gets worse, Elena feels that she might not be able to see her sister again in this life.

"I understand, Dr. Kelsey."

Elena nodded obediently and prepared to go to the medical department for a full physical examination as Kelsey ordered.

"Then I won't disturb your work, Dr. Kelsey."

"Go."

Just when Elena got up to leave, the office door suddenly rang.

"Please come in."

As Kelsey finished speaking, a strange person... who Elena didn't know how to describe, walked in.

Out of curiosity, Elena couldn't help but slow down and take a few more glances at the man.

He is about 170-180cm tall. He is wearing simple casual clothes. The outline of his muscles can be clearly seen and he looks very strong.

What left Elena speechless was that the visitor had a helmet with a rather avant-garde design on his head, completely covering his face.

The taste of both the clothes and the helmet are impeccable, but when the two are combined, it's a bit indescribable.

So weird, take another look.jpg

Seemingly aware of Elena's gaze, the weirdo also looked towards her and nodded gently as a greeting.

Elena was startled, and she quickly bent down and bowed in return, and then hurriedly slipped out through the crack in the door before the other party said anything.

As the door closed with a clang, Elena also heard a vague voice coming from the office.

"Dr. Kelsey, I heard that there is a new exploration mission? Is it the abandoned land outside?"

It turns out they are Rhode Island operators...are they all so unique?

Elena suddenly understood, but she didn't have time to think too much. She recalled her previous treatment experience in Rhode Island, and after identifying the direction of the medical department, she hurried over.

She still has a lot to do.

Chapter 44 Secret Infiltration

Li Ang's plan went quite smoothly. He successfully established a preliminary impression in Elena's mind. Next, he will participate in the search for the ruins of Lot 21 in the name of a Rhode Island operator.

Kelsey had no objection to this and simply helped Li Ang forge a set of identity information in PRTS.

There is nothing urgent to do next. Whether it is the arrangements on Deste's side or the survey plan on Rhode Island, they all require a certain amount of preparation time. Leon just needs to wait patiently.

They went to the logistics department to get a set of standard equipment for Rhode Island operators. Before leaving, they stopped by to see Rosemary. It was obvious that Adele really liked this child.

Regrettably, when the two passed by, Rosemary was sleeping soundly, with no intention of waking up.

According to Kelsey, perhaps due to the relationship between souls, Rosemary spends most of the day sleeping, and is in the minority when she is awake.

They did not disturb Rosemary's rest. They just stood outside and watched quietly for a while, then turned and left.

When the two returned to the residence kindly provided by Miss Xintrea, they saw an unexpected person.

Shuiyue was seen lying carelessly on the swivel chair, with his feet on the edge of the desk, assuming a comfortable posture.

Seeing Li Ang and Adele pushing through the door, Shui Yue waved to them happily.

"Hey, you are finally back. I have been waiting for you for a long time."

"Shuiyue? Why are you here? There was an accident on Deste's side??"

According to Li Ang's plan, Shui Yue should be at Deste's place now, waiting to put on a good show and fool the lawyer lady who doesn't seem to be very smart.

Could it be that the enemy made the first move?

Thinking of this possibility, Li Ang's mood suddenly became worse.
