Ark Undead

The entire tavern was immediately filled with cheerful laughter.

This kind of thing is commonplace for Rhodes Island operators. But every time they hear about it, they still find it hilarious. The incident of Dr. Warfarin being hung on the deck was a complete laugh riot.

Of course, no one would deliberately stab Dr. Warfarin because of this, and Dr. Warfarin didn't care about it either.

"Speaking of which, Mr. Undead, you've been on the island for a week or two now. Is there anything you're not used to?"

Huang changed the subject away from the others. Ace continued to chat with the other drinkers, while Huang picked up his glass and sat down next to the Undead, seemingly wanting to talk to him alone.

"Fortunately."

The Undead was wearing the work clothes he had previously ordered from Victoria.

He still wore a silver mask on his face as always, so no one could see what he looked like. All they could see were his thin lips and the stubble below them.

The Undead picked up his beer and took a sip. The bubbles burst in his mouth, and after swallowing, he couldn't help but smack his lips.

This stuff called beer is brewed from grains. For the immortals, it's a novel experience.

"Is it good?"

Huang looked curiously at the cup in the immortal's hand. She handed her own cup to the immortal and said nonchalantly.

"Beer is such a cheap and unappealing drink; it's not suitable for a warrior like you. Come on, try mine!"

The Undead looked at the transparent liquid in the Radiant Cup, and he had a feeling that this matter was not so simple.

According to the experience of the Undead, the purer something is, the more powerful it is, and alcohol should be the same.

However, the immortal still took the cup from Huang's hand and took a sip.

A rich aroma filled the immortal's nose and throat the moment it entered his mouth. As soon as he swallowed it, a tingling, needle-like sensation surged up, and he couldn't help but frown.

"It's so spicy!"

The immortal closed his eyes, his brow furrowed. Only after the sensation subsided did he slowly open his eyes.

"How about it?"

Huang looked at the Undead with amusement; she just wanted to see what this knight would look like after drinking the baijiu.

"It's...exciting."

The Undead pursed his lips, feeling as if a fire was burning inside him. But it wasn't a real burning sensation; it was just the stimulation from the alcohol.

This feeling was somewhat novel to him; he hadn't experienced this strange sensation in a long time, as if there were real flames burning inside.

That is why the Undead returned the wine cup in his hand to Huang.

"Although it's exciting, it reminds me of some less pleasant things."

The Undead subtly declined Huang's offer, but before doing so, he had already taken a sip.

"Okay, sorry."

Huang hadn't expected that the liquor would make the immortals think of other things. So he took the initiative to apologize and steered the conversation to something else.

"We'll be at our designated spot in a couple of days, and we'll all have to go out and work. Ace will be a few days late, but you'll probably be the first to leave, right?"

Huang was referring to the rescue of the doctor, of course.

"Yes."

The Undead nodded, picked up his beer mug, and took a sip to wash away the burning sensation.

After a short pause, the Undead continued to speak.

"Kal'tsit wants me to go to Chernobog ahead of time, to check out the local situation first, and then to meet up with Ace and Nearl's team."

This was something that had been agreed upon beforehand, and the Undead had made some preparations for it.

After a few days, he noticed that his body was showing signs of aging again.

The Emergency Rational Elixir is indeed only for emergencies. For those who can't die, its effect is only temporary.

Therefore, before his mind became sluggish again, he took all his equipment to the Rhodes Island staff and asked them to take care of it.

She also told Melantha and Skadi that she was going out and asked them to protect Kroos, at least to prevent Kroos from sneaking into the cafeteria to steal condiments again.

Speaking of this, it refers to a major event that happened on Rhodes Island.

That day, the cafeteria staff saw that the entire cafeteria had been ransacked and assumed someone had broken in. So they quickly reported it to their superiors.

Actually, the theft itself is a minor issue, but the cafeteria is responsible for the meals of many patients, so food safety is the most important aspect.

If someone with malicious intent were to put some unknown substance into the food storage, that would be disastrous.

However, soon people saw a person in the ice room where the food was stored.

A golden retriever that was almost frozen stiff.

Kroos looked pitifully at Huang, who had opened the door and was holding a chainsaw.

Huang was dumbfounded. How did someone suddenly appear?

Later, after reviewing the surveillance footage, it was discovered that Kroos was hungry in the middle of the night and thought there should be something to eat in the cafeteria.

He took his employee card to the cafeteria to find something to eat, only to find it closed and empty, so he wandered around the cafeteria for a long time.

It just so happened that the kitchen door wasn't closed properly that day, which allowed Kroos to sneak in.

Kroos first opened the seasoning section and tasted them one by one, then set his sights on the ingredient section.

After searching for a long time, she actually managed to open the door to an ice room.

Ice room doors are the kind that lock automatically if there are problems with air pressure or temperature to maintain the internal temperature; nothing works except a password.

As a result, Kroos was indeed locked in the icehouse and kept there for a night.

However, something surprising was yet to come.

After discovering Kroos, the group quickly took the nearly frozen unconscious Kroos to the medical department.

As a result, after a while, Kroos was back to its energetic self, eager to eat.

Everyone was worried that she would catch a cold, so they tried their best to stop her and let her rest some more.

After this situation, you need to rest and recuperate for a couple of days no matter what!

All the doctors were prepared to treat Kroos's fever.

As it turned out, the child was indeed lively and energetic for another two or three days, without any problems.

It's as if that ice room isn't an ice room at all.

After learning about this, the Undead remained silent for a while, then turned around, grabbed Kroos's head, and knocked it several times until Kroos held its head and looked at the Undead with teary eyes.

Afterwards, the Undead used a card given to him by a certain silver cat to compensate the cafeteria for its losses. And like chanting a mantra, while he was still able to speak fluently, he kept repeating to Kroos all day long that he couldn't enter the cafeteria kitchen, he couldn't enter the cafeteria kitchen.

Kroos sat by the campfire, listening, feeling sleepy. But just as he started to drift off, the Undead would immediately tap him on the head again.

She was tormented all day long, and when Kroos left the Undead Room the next day, she didn't even dare to enter the dining hall.

But today, Melanie had a day off and said she wanted to try some new Colombian dishes, so she invited Skadi and Kroos to go to the cafeteria to experiment. Kroos then cautiously walked into the cafeteria's preparation area.

It was precisely because the girls had things to do that the immortals accepted Huang and Ace's invitation to have a drink together.

“During the previous meeting, everyone already considered you one of us. After all, there hasn’t been any fresh blood among the elite operators for a long time, and your appearance has given many of us a boost.”

Huang chuckled and took another sip of the mysterious white liquid in his cup. After exhaling, he continued speaking.

"Therefore, regarding this operation, everyone believes that you should be in charge of helping the Doctor escape. You are currently the most capable combatant we can offer."

"Doctor, this is very important to you."

The Undead have already learned a general understanding of the Doctor's personality from Ace.

"But why aren't you going? And what about Scout and Logos?"

Scout and Logos would usually greet the undead when they encountered them. However, they were genuinely busy and were almost never seen on Rhodes Island; the number of times the undead actually met them could be counted on one hand.

"Because we all have other things to do. Besides rescuing the doctor, we also need to bring him to a reasonably good situation. Otherwise, in our current state, the doctor will only get in the way when he returns."

Huang pointed to Ace next to her and said.

“Ace’s usual missions are mostly small-scale operations with little impact. I’m better at assault operations, so for infiltration missions like this, and also considering the safety of the Doctor, special forces teams like Ace have an advantage.”

The Undead nodded. Huang's personality was loud and boisterous, and she was unrestrained and energetic in her actions, which showed her style.

"This is your first mission for Rhodes Island. How do you feel?"

Huang smiled and patted the Undead on the shoulder, then changed the subject again.

The Undead didn't feel anything; giving Rhodes Island a mission was just like when he was a bounty hunter in Kjerag—it was just a task to be done.

"Fortunately."

The Undead's answer was bland; he didn't have any particular thoughts.

"Oh, right. Scout said he wanted to talk to you alone before he left?"

Huang suddenly remembered this. During the meeting, Scout himself said that he would talk to the Undead.

"I saw him and his team on the tarmac this afternoon. I wonder if he's looking for you?"

"Scout?"

The immortal shook his head.

"No, I did not receive an invitation from him."

"Oh no... he didn't forget, did he?"

Huang thought for a moment and then said.

"Scout's mission this time is also to Chernobog. But his goals are different from ours. Knowing that you're going, he was thinking of asking you if he could help each other out."

The Undead had a very good impression of Scout.

He is the kind of excellent scout who can make himself disappear and blend into his environment at any time.

But he's quite easygoing in his daily life. Once, when the two met outside Rhodes Island, Scout even gave the Undead a loaf of bread he had just bought from the bakery.

"I'll talk to Kal'tsit before I leave."

The Undead nodded, indicating that he would keep this in mind.

Regardless, Scout has a good impression of the Undead.
