Ark Undead

Zilan and the Undead stood up at the same time. They reached out their hands, shook hands briefly, and then let go.

The Undead turned around and looked at Huang beside him.

Huang coughed twice, her smile fading. But Zilan, whose back was to the Undead, still rolled her eyes at her.

"Pfft... Alright, shall I show you around Rhodes Island now?"

"grateful."

Having accepted Hoshino's invitation, the Undead and Skadi left the Personnel Department with Hoshino.

Skadi had just closed the door to the personnel department when she said goodbye to the Undead.

She still had to go for her performance review, and since the undead man had already made a record, she could come to see him later.

Watching Skadi leave, Blaze patted the Undead on the shoulder.

"Come on, Mr. Undead, I'll show you what life is like on Rhodes Island!"

...

As soon as the Undead and the others left, Zilan returned to her seat and picked up the communicator on the table.

She quickly answered a phone number in the top deck office.

"Zilan? Is something the matter?"

The voice on the other end of the phone was a cold, aloof woman, crisp and somewhat unapproachable.

"Dr. Kal'tsit, Ace and Blaze brought someone back."

Zilan paused for a moment.

"The undead from Kazimierz, that must be the War Knight. He and another girl just had their personnel records taken here, and now Huang is showing him around the island's facilities."

"I see."

Unexpectedly, Kal'tsit seemed to already know about this.

That makes sense, Ace will probably talk to Kal'tsit, after all, her identity is quite extraordinary.

A cold, detached voice rang out again from the other end of the phone.

"Don't make a fuss. I'll have Huang bring this warrior knight to me later... by the way."

Dr. Kal'tsit paused for a moment, then continued.

"Prepare an operator form. I'll need you to work overtime today."

"what?"

Zilan was stunned for a moment, then she realized what was going on.

"Is that so... Okay, I understand."

146. Humanity's Elixir! Six Thousand

After leaving the personnel department on the first floor with the immortals, Huang went directly to the deck below the second floor.

This is Rhodes Island's entertainment district. You could say that Rhodes Island's operators usually relax, eat, and shop on this floor.

"This is our Rhodes Island dining hall, where food is served all day. However, different chefs are in the back at different times to prepare the meals for the day."

As Huang spoke, she walked over to the sign for today's duty and glanced at who was on duty that day.

"Hmm... let me see, who's on duty in the cafeteria today?"

When she saw the figure clearly, her lively body froze for a moment, and she quickly pulled the Undead away from the cafeteria.

"Although she should have just been with Kroos at the medical unit, we're not sure if she's finished her shift, so let's hurry!"

While speaking in a language the undead couldn't understand, Huang pulled the undead away.

"?" The Undead had no idea what had happened; they just followed Huang away in a daze.

The two then went to the only supermarket on Rhodes Island.

This place sells all the necessities of life, and operators can borrow equipment, ingredients, and various seasonings from the canteen.

Therefore, the only things the supermarket doesn't have are various ingredients that can't be processed without a boiler or stove, as well as some seasonings.

Of course, there are still some sauces available to accompany cookies and bread.

Huang didn't bring the undead inside to explore; she could tell the undead didn't seem very interested in it.

Because his eyes were fixed on another place.

Cake shop.

"Huh? Do you like cake?"

Huang glanced curiously at the cake shop over there, then turned back to look at the Undead.

What she never expected was that this tough guy in front of her actually loved pastries the most.

"No."

The Undead shook his head, looked away, and gazed at Huang.

"I just thought of someone."

When he saw the cake, he vaguely remembered that he had tasted cake before. But he couldn't remember what the cake tasted like back then.

The Undead strolled to the cake shop, stared at the cakes displayed in the window, and fell silent for a moment.

Seeing the Undying's state, Huang didn't disturb him. He went to the cake shop and bought two cream puffs. He took a big bite of one and handed the other to the Undying.

"Try it, don't tell me you won't eat it. See if you can taste any flavor in this stuff?"

Huang saw the immortal man about to raise his hand and knew he was about to say he wouldn't eat it.

So he quickly stopped the undead from speaking and forcefully shoved the cream puff in his hand into the undead's hand.

The Undead looked down at the small snack in his hand, thought for a moment, and then returned it to Huang.

"Thank you, but really, it's not necessary."

"Alright..."

Huang sighed and ate the cream puff in two more bites.

Just as Huang was eating the cream puff, the Undead spoke up and asked a question.

"Do you know Melantha?"

"Hmm? You mean that little girl from the Felin tribe?"

Upon hearing the name Melantha, Huang instinctively spoke.

"Of course I know. I once trained their team as a special instructor, and that girl left a deep impression on me."

Having already guessed that the Undead had some special relationship with Melantha, whom he mentioned, Huang continued speaking.

"That kid is very resilient. He performs exceptionally well, both in competitive training and in his own extra practice."

As Huang spoke, he swallowed the cream puff in his mouth and continued talking.

"What, you know her? Want to meet her?"

"..."

The Undying Man hesitated.

It wasn't because I had done anything wrong, it was quite inexplicable, but I was just a little flustered.

Before the Undead could make a decision, Huang clapped his hands in front of him with a smile.

"Alright, even if you wanted to see her now, I can't take you. They're being trained by Instructor Dobermann right now, and it's not allowed to take people who haven't joined Rhodes Island yet to visit our reserve team's training."

"Ah."

The immortal felt a sense of relief.

And at that moment, the communicator on Huang's waist also sounded.

Huang picked up the communicator and his expression immediately turned serious.

She walked a little further away and answered the phone.

The immortal didn't follow, giving her enough space.

A short while later, Huang returned to the Undead, his expression no longer relaxed as before.

"Mr. Undead, Dr. Kal'tsit wishes to see you. Would you be willing to go and speak with her?"

The Undead had heard of Kal'tsit; they had heard of her existence during their three days in Lungmen.

She was a veteran of Rhodes Island, one of Amiya's teachers, and the de facto ruler of Rhodes Island.

I don't know why she wants to see the immortals.

But the immortal wouldn't refuse such a meeting; on the contrary, he was quite looking forward to it.

"of course."

The immortal nodded and extended his hand.

"Lead the way."

...

The two followed the original elevator to the top of the deck, then walked along the top-floor corridor until they reached the innermost office, where Huang knocked on the door.

"Come in."

A cold voice rang out from inside the door, and at the same time, the iron door was pushed open, and Huang led the Undead into the office.

The immortals saw that person at first glance.

Her light green hair obscured her eyes as she sat behind her desk, pen in hand, working on the documents in front of her.

The pen tip left a graceful curve on the paper. After writing the last character, she put down the pen and looked up.

The immortals saw those eyes.

He couldn't see anything hidden inside.
