Ark Undead

The Undead nodded, walked a few steps outside, and then closed the door.

"It must be related to saving the doctor, right?"

The Undead calculated the time and estimated that Rhodes Island should have departed from Lungmen by now. Amiya's arrival today should have no other explanation.

"Yes, Dr. Kal'tsit asked me to come and ask you to come and talk to her. I don't know the specifics of it."

Amiya nodded; her own guess was also related to rescuing the Doctor. But few could ever guess Kal'tsit's thoughts.

"Let's go then. Let's get things sorted out quickly while there aren't many people around in the morning."

The Undead gestured for Amiya to lead the way.

Amiya quickly led the undead out of the room.

She was terrified that someone might grab her arm the next second and invite her to sit in their room.

When the undead pushed open the door, Kal'tsit was still processing the documents in front of her.

The coffee cup beside her table was steaming as always, and Kal'tsit's voice was weak as she called out when she heard the door open.

"You didn't sleep, did you?"

The undead man walked up to Kal'tsit and sat down naturally in the chair in front of her.

"It's really no problem for you to talk to me so early in the morning. Why don't you go and get some rest?"

"It's nothing serious. But you, are you fully awake yet?"

Kal'tsit put down her pen, placed the document aside, leaned back in her chair, and closed her eyes slightly.

She needs to sort out her thoughts.

"It's better to wake up and talk properly than to make a harsh statement."

Kal'tsit picked up the coffee cup next to her, took a sip of the coffee she had just brewed, and then selectively ignored the Undead's words.

“We had a meeting yesterday to discuss issues related to rescuing the doctor. After our discussion, everyone agreed that you are the strongest among us and should be involved in this operation.”

Kal'tsit held her coffee cup with both hands like an old man, trying to draw some energy from the gesture.

“Our contract already stated that I would participate in this operation.”

"The Undead said."

"I am very interested in a PhD."

He never hides his opinions, because he doesn't need to.

Amiya didn't leave Kal'tsit's room; she sat on the sofa next to Kal'tsit's office, listening to their conversation.

The Undead naturally knew this, so he concluded that Kal'tsit must be saying something that Amiya also needed to know.

“It is precisely because you are so interested in the Doctor that I do not want you to come into contact with him. To this day, there are still some mysteries related to the Doctor, and you are the biggest mystery he has ever told me.”

Kal'tsit also directly told the Undead her attitude, which is just her personality.

"However, because of the contract, your name is on the battle plan. But I hope you can make me a promise."

Kal'tsit looked at the undead in front of her.

She knew how powerful the person in front of her was, but what she said was equally important.

"Regardless of who the Doctor is, and whether you know the Doctor or not, I hope you can protect the Doctor and bring him back to Rhodes Island."

Even if my assessment is that your PhD has significant problems?

"Yes, we need him. He is the most important part of Rhodes Island's future development."

Kal'tsit did not back down on this matter.

"Hmm...okay."

Kal'tsit only breathed a sigh of relief after the Undead finished thinking and agreed to Kal'tsit's request.

She fought off the dizziness and told the immortal.

"In the plan, you will be the first to go, heading to Chernobog alone. Rhodes Island will give you an identity, allowing you to do some special things in Chernobog. We'll talk about these tasks later, probably in about a week."

"I see."

The immortal nodded and agreed.

He couldn't wait any longer.

These past few days, the more the Undying Man thought about it, the more he felt that the doctor was a very important figure.

Kal'tsit's understanding of him and Rhodes Island's attitude towards him both only emerged with the Doctor's entrustment to Kal'tsit as a turning point.

But what does the Doctor himself actually know? Does he know about the past of the Undead?

Those who haven't died are just waiting to see the doctor, hoping he can give them an answer.

159. What kind of person is a PhD?

"You're here? Come in and have a seat."

Ace opened the door and invited the man standing outside to come in and sit down for a chat.

The reason the undead are here is because Ace left a message at the undead's door before going home.

He was invited to come over at 6 PM to have a chat. The matter concerned the Doctor and Rhodes Island; he wanted to have a proper talk with the Undead.

After finishing his conversation with Kal'tsit, the Undead returned home and saw Ace's invitation on the virtual screen by his door. So he waited in his room until 6 p.m., then followed the room number Ace had left behind to the room.

To be honest, the Undead never expected Ace's solo invitation.

But the one who didn't die also had some questions for Ace.

Since Kal'tsit wouldn't talk to the undead about the Doctor, she might as well ask someone else.

This is Rhodes Island; Kal'tsit isn't the only one who understands the Doctor.

"I really didn't expect that you would be the one willing to talk to me about your doctorate."

The Undead sat in Ace's room and looked around.

Ace's room was decorated in a very modern style. But the undead man felt that it wasn't the kind of room a mature-looking man like Ace should have.

The walls were covered with posters of all sorts of celebrities that no one would recognize. Most of them were wearing sunglasses and either holding a guitar or bass, or a microphone.

Their style is also mostly wild and unrestrained, making it easy to tell at a glance that they are famous rock stars.

When Ace saw the Undead look up and survey his room, he scratched his head shyly.

He is not someone who is used to sharing his hobbies with others.

"It's quite interesting."

The Undead briefly stated his assessment, adding that he had never been interested in other people's private affairs.

Ace and the Undead tacitly avoided continuing the topic, and Ace coughed twice.

"Is your voice better?"

"I took something from Rhodes Island, which has temporarily cured my illness. I will be back to normal in a few days."

The Undead leaned back in his chair and asked.

"You just got up?"

Ace was still wearing pajamas. If it weren't for the Undead knocking on the door, and Ace quickly welcoming the Undead in, Ace might still be resting now.

He has been working for a long time.

"Yes, Dr. Kal'tsit asked me for help last night, and I had no reason to refuse, so I helped her process some documents."

At this point, Ace's face involuntarily darkened.

He couldn't forget how Kal'tsit, with a serious expression, said she wouldn't involve Rhodes Island in her personal feelings, and then immediately brought up her sore spot because of him. She deliberately made him handle a huge pile of documents that Kal'tsit should have dealt with herself.

However, for Ace, Kal'tsit's willingness to entrust these documents to him demonstrates her trust in him and her belief that he can handle these tasks well.

Having witnessed firsthand just how busy Kal'tsit was, Ace naturally wouldn't refuse.

"Ah."

The Undead hummed in agreement and immediately steered the conversation toward serious business.

"So, you asked me to come here so you could talk to me about the doctor?"

"Yes. A couple of days ago, our Rhodes Island leadership held a meeting about rescuing the Doctor. Many of us mentioned you at the meeting."

Ace didn't mince words and spoke directly to the Undead about Rhodes Island.

He and Kal'tsit have different attitudes. He believes that the undead should be the backbone of Rhodes Island. Since they will always need the undead's help, why not take the initiative and become the undead's friends?

"In the end, Dr. Kal'tsit used the contract as an excuse to let you join this operation. But I know that if we only consider her own personal feelings, Dr. Kal'tsit would not have wanted you to participate in the operation to rescue the Doctor."

As Ace spoke, he took a bottle of water from the cabinet next to him and tossed it to the Undead.

The immortal reached out and took the bottle of water, and nodded.

“I can tell.”

Kal'tsit's compromise with the undead stemmed from her own needs.

Rhodes Island cannot allow both leaders to leave headquarters, and Amiya is still a child. If Kal'tsit were to infiltrate Chernobog with the team, Amiya wouldn't have the ability to make immediate decisions should something happen to headquarters.

Therefore, Kal'tsit needs someone who can keep things under control, at least someone capable of protecting the team members during the evacuation of the post-doctoral fellow.

The immortal, on the other hand, perfectly meets this requirement.

He is curious about the doctor, has sufficient combat power, and has no connection with any other forces.

Most importantly, the Undead are practically the key subjects of observation personally ordered by the Doctor, and the Doctor has a very high opinion of them.

This led Kal'tsit, after weighing the options, to choose to reveal some facts to the undead, allowing them to join Rhodes Island.

This also indirectly exposes many problems that Rhodes Island is currently facing, including a series of shortcomings such as insufficient manpower.

"However, our elite operators have a very high opinion of you, and aside from the reasons we don't know, everyone hopes you can join our team."

The goodwill that Ace showed to the Undead surprised them greatly.

He had only been in contact with these Rhodes Island people for less than a month, but it seemed like everyone had a very good impression of him.
