Ark Undead

"In addition to the operators who are already affiliated with Rhodes Island, there are also some employees from other factions who have reached an agreement with Rhodes Island to send some of their personnel as outsourced operators. These outsourced operators can rest and resupply at Rhodes Island while also being employed by Rhodes Island."

As Huang explained to the immortal, he led the immortal away from the elevator.

"You've come at the perfect time. It's right around the time people are leaving get off work, and it's quite lively here. Would you like me to take you for another walk around and maybe you can meet some other people?"

Huang turned to look at the Undead.

After spending time together, Huang gradually discovered that the Undead was not as cold-hearted as he appeared.

Beneath his armored exterior lies a person who enjoys listening to others and trying to understand their inner thoughts.

This surprised Huang and gradually made her more open-minded about the undead.

"Speaking of which, didn't Ace and Amiya invite you to dinner? Of course, it was a private dinner, without that blonde girl."

The immortal ignored all of that. He glanced around and asked.

"Where is Kroos?"

"Oh, you mean Xiao Ke? Xiao Ke went to have a comprehensive quality assessment, it'll probably take another half hour to an hour. What, are you worried?"

Huang asked.

"If you're worried, I can take you to see him. You're now an operator of Rhodes Island. Although you haven't signed a contract yet, Dr. Kal'tsit has already granted you privileges almost equivalent to those of an elite operator."

"Test? Then...no..."

The Undead shook his head; he was about to say that he would just wait.

Just then, he felt a somewhat familiar gaze.

At the same time, amidst the clamor of the street, both the Undead and Huang heard a voice.

"Melantha? Melantha? Why aren't you moving? If you don't go eat, the food in the cafeteria will get cold!"

The pink-haired girl looked at her companion behind her with a puzzled expression.

She noticed that her roommate was staring intently in another direction, and all she could see was that figure.

Katie looked over and saw a strange person wearing armor...

and many more!

Armor... a strange person... Melantha?!

"No way..."

Katie muttered to herself, but then she saw the armored monster turn its head and look at Melantha.

The immortal's eyes met those pale purple eyes.

The moment their eyes met, different emotions surged within those two different pairs of eyes.

"teacher?"

Melantha seemed to disbelieve her eyes, and murmured softly.

"Melantha?"

While confirming the other person's identity, the immortal was still somewhat puzzled, as he remembered that the girl he saw in the photo was even younger.

Has it been because I've grown up?

The two looked at each other across an entire street.

Then, Melantha strode forward and charged toward the undead.

Huang wisely stepped back.

She knew the real show was about to begin.

148. Reunion

Little Melansha wondered what it would be like to reunite with her teacher.

Was it during a mission that you happened to meet your teacher at the mission location?

As mentioned in the letter his teacher gave him, Melantha planned to take on a mission that required her to be sent to Lungmen while she was staying there, and then happen to meet her teacher in Lungmen.

Or perhaps her teacher sent her a letter asking her to pick him up at the Rhode Island personnel department.

To this end, Melanie even prepared to help teachers complete their personal files.

But she never imagined that one day, after completing her training mission, she would find herself in the rest and entertainment area on the first floor of Rhodes Island, separated by a bustling street. One person was on this side, and the other on the other, gazing at each other.

Although the teacher's armor and weapons had changed, Melantha recognized him instantly by his imposing presence and familiar figure—he was her teacher.

And coincidentally, at the very moment I looked over, the teacher also turned around and looked at me.

Melanie's heart was beating fast.

She was moving so fast she could barely hear anyone else; all she could see was the figure on the other side, and all she could hear was the pounding of her own heart.

Although she hadn't showered and was still a little sticky, she couldn't help but start walking.

She wanted to push through the crowd to the teacher and say hello.

So she moved. She didn't hear her roommate calling her from behind at all; instead, she stared intently at the silent figure over there.

Under his gaze, Melantha came up to him, looked up, and stared at the helmet of the man in front of her.

To be honest, Melanie had mentally rehearsed this situation many times.

Considering that her teacher said she had symptoms of memory loss, Melanie was prepared to start from scratch with strangers.

But to everyone's surprise, before Melantha could even speak, the man who was always a good listener spoke up.

"You look quite different from your photo."

The Immortals Theory.

"I've grown up."

Despite having lost his memory, the Undead could tell the moment he saw Melantha that the child had a very deep connection with him.

The faint flames on her body were a sign of her connection with the Primordial Flame, which must be the protection and blessing she herself had bestowed upon her.

In this world, nothing is closer than the connection between two people sharing the same origin of life.

Flames are naturally drawn to each other, and with just a little medium, they can merge together during combustion.

These two simple sentences caused all of Melanie's preparations to vanish in an instant, disappearing from her heart with the wind.

In her mind, the teacher's reaction would be even colder, just like when they first met, the Undead would always sit silently by the campfire, instructing her on how to swing her sword over and over again in a cold tone.

Aside from the necessary words, there was no further communication.

But now, the Undead's tone carried an emotion he had never shown before.

"It's beautiful, even more beautiful than in the photos."

The immortal continued speaking, sharing his impressions and thoughts.

His only impression of his adopted disciple so far is his image in a photograph.

But after actually meeting him, even the immortals were somewhat dazed.

Melantha bit her lip, but she still reacted.

The purple-haired kitten lowered its head slightly and bowed its body respectfully before the undead.

"teacher."

"Huh?" Huang, standing next to her, stared wide-eyed. She thought the two were just acquaintances, but she didn't expect Melantha to drop such a bombshell.

What?! The War Knights have disciples elsewhere?! And on Rhodes Island, no less!

Melanie was also a little nervous and flustered. She wondered if her tone had been too calm.

In her mind, she should have said something extremely emotional and then hugged the teacher tightly!

After all, this was the thing she regretted most. That night, she couldn't go back and fight her way out with her teacher, and she couldn't even give him a hug. He could only coldly pry open her hand and pull her back.

This is a perfect opportunity! If I rush up and hug you now, I can explain later that I couldn't help myself, and no one will think it's strange!

Damn it! Melantha! How could you be such a coward!

Melantha cursed herself many times in her heart, trying to embolden herself.

In the past, she was able to face Instructor Doberman directly and seize several life-or-death opportunities to unleash her inner sword against him. But at this moment, all she could do was pound her heart out, her hands and feet trembled for a long time, and she couldn't take another step to hug the teacher in front of her.

She still didn't dare, afraid that her behavior would be too enthusiastic and scare the teacher, leaving him with a bad impression.

Moreover, this was the most normal level of communication they had ever had when they were together.

Of course, there's no reaction if the person doesn't die.

As a disciple, this is quite normal.

Suddenly Melantha stopped speaking, and even the immortals didn't know what to say.

After thinking for a long time, the Undead could only come up with a greeting he had just learned from the Lungmen Guard Bureau.

"have you eaten?"

"?" Melantha looked up, her face, still slightly shy, instantly filled with question marks.

what?

Melanie obviously didn't eat, since she had just finished training.

Huang had been working all this time without eating. So, just like the Undead had suggested, the three of them went to the cafeteria together and found a slightly secluded spot.

Then Huang ran away.

Yes, it seems that Huang ran into someone she knew nearby. After greeting her, Huang turned around and said something to the Undead.

"I'm going to have dinner with my friends now! If you need anything later, just have Xiao Meilansha come find me."

After saying that, Huang didn't forget to wink at Melantha.

"Go Melanie, little Melanie!"

Although she didn't know what Huang meant by "cheer up," Melantha nodded blankly, indicating that she understood.

Then, when Melantha and the Undead sat down, the two of them realized what was happening.
