Ark Undead

W toned it down a bit, avoiding provoking Frostnova at this time.

"Find him and get to the bottom of this. Why are there all sorts of things inside that white-haired kid's body? Why is he opposing the Reunion Movement and even killing one of your friends?"

"..."

Frostnova turned to look at W. The moment she sensed her ice wall shattering, she knew Mephisto was doomed.

But she still couldn't accept this outcome.

"Think carefully, this is your last chance. The next time we meet will be on the battlefield."

W glanced at her watch and said.

"Based on what I know about them, if you catch up now, you'll have about ten minutes to have a good chat before they board the transport plane."

...

After the Rhodes Island crew left Chernobog, the atmosphere gradually became more lively.

They escaped danger and even rescued the doctor. Not a single person was killed in the operation; at most, a few were seriously injured.

This is truly an extraordinary combat record.

"I never expected this mission to be so dangerous."

Ace walked along the snow-covered mountain path and exclaimed in amazement.

"If it weren't for Mr. Undead, we might all be stuck there."

Lin Guang stood aside and nodded in agreement; it was an undeniable fact.

In fact, if it weren't for the fact that no one dies, the doctor probably wouldn't have been able to save them.

No one anticipated that the Reunion Movement's infiltration of Chernobog would reach such a level; it was all such a coincidence.

Amiya helped the exhausted Doctor. Once they were out of danger, a look of relief and happiness finally spread across her face.

The doctor is back, which is something everyone is happy about.

But at the very back of the group, the Undead turned his head and looked in a direction in the mountains and forests.

The group noticed the undead standing still and followed its gaze.

It was a group of figures, somewhat blurry in the forest mist, with only their outlines visible.

The doctor looked at the immortal and went to his side.

"Lord Ash, go."

The Undead turned to look at the Doctor, who had just awakened. He also had many questions for the Doctor.

"Your image appears in many of my memories, and I think we should be able to help each other."

The doctor paused for a moment.

"We'll be waiting for you up ahead. We'll have a good talk once we get back to Rhodes Island."

After saying that, the doctor shouted loudly.

"keep going!"

Ace and Lin Guang turned around and led the team toward the designated evacuation point.

The Doctor, led by Amiya, caught up with the group.

The immortal withdrew his gaze and walked towards the figure in the distance.

After crossing two hills, the Undead followed the group of figures to a low thicket.

"We first met here."

The Yeti princess sat beside the now-extinguished fire, looking at the undead who had come to her side.

Big Bear and the others waved to the Undead to say hello.

"I never imagined that you would stand against us, or even cause us so much trouble."

The Undead put down the greatsword on his back and came to the extinguished campfire, where he inserted the spiral longsword at his waist.

The flames flowed along the sword, reigniting the charcoal below that had not yet burned completely.

"He is your friend."

The Undead slowly sat down and looked at Frostnova beside him.

"Feel sorry."

"There's nothing to apologize for. We've always been enemies, so it's perfectly reasonable for you to do these things."

Froststar turned her head away; she was still a little confused.

To be honest, she spent a lot of time with Mephisto. But the more time she spent with him, the less she liked him.

He's like a completely different person from the little boy he used to be.

Cruel and tyrannical, acting without any rules or methods.

Even so, the leader still indulged him and did not intend to impose any restrictions.

This is something Froststar cannot understand.

To this day, she has seen with her own eyes the pus flowing from Mephistopheles' body.

It was then that she realized something must have changed the boy.

I want to ask you...

"Froststar said."

"Those things inside his body..."

“That is, the creation of the abyss. It is my enemy.”

The Undead didn't know how to explain this to Frostnova, so they could only give her a brief explanation.

"That would make a person stronger. But it would also cause them to lose themselves and succumb to their desires. That shouldn't happen to that person."

After a moment's hesitation, the Undead finally spoke.

“Someone planted these things in his body.”

Froststar fell silent after hearing the Undead's words.

This pure and innocent girl thought a lot.

The immortal's words had a hint of sowing discord, but she still chose to believe him.

Because he had no reason to deceive himself, and the appearance of the undead man resembled that of an important family member.

Really similar.

After a long while, Froststar raised her head.

"Thank you."

"Ah."

Sparks flew from the burning campfire, then dissipated in the half-melted snow beside it.

The two sat silently by the campfire for several minutes.

Then, the immortal stood up.

He did not try to persuade Frostnova to give up her ideals.

Judging from their first meeting, Frostnova's ideas were correct and realistic.

She understood what she was doing and knew how many difficulties and obstacles lay ahead of her.

The undead understand this feeling.

"gone."

The Undead and Frostnova greeted each other.

Froststar didn't look up as she spoke.

"Next time we meet, we'll be enemies."

"..."

The undead, who had just slung the greatsword over his shoulder, turned to look at Frostnova, who was still sitting by the campfire.

A buzzing sound came from his helmet.

"Keep going, keep moving forward, and you will die."

He couldn't help but offer his advice, but he didn't finish the second half.

It's very likely he'll die by his own hand.

Froststar heard the Undead's words and sensed a deep-seated concern in his tone.

The girl then raised her head and gave the immortal a fleeting, flawless smile.

She hadn't been able to laugh like that in a long time.

"I know, and I'm really looking forward to that day."

“Those infected need a symbol, a goal. The Reunification Movement must treat everything with a fighting spirit.”

"Why choose to confront oppression with struggle? Because after a long period of submission, there is no future left to look forward to. Now, even life can serve as kindling to burn away the decay."

She knew that Rhodes Island, where the Undead lived, was also an organization that served the Infected.

“I don’t blame you for Mephisto’s death; he did go down the wrong path. Taking Chernobog as a base was the right decision in itself. But the indiscriminate slaughter based on hatred was wrong.”

"Therefore, I have never harbored any resentment towards you. If the methods of the Integration Movement cannot change this situation, then please embrace our aspirations and guide them towards a new future."

"However, before that..."

Ding!

"Catch this."

A shiny coin interrupted Frostnova's words and hit her on the head.

Froststar paused for a moment, then reached out and touched the coin through her white hair.
