Ark Undead

"Please take care, Your Excellency Governor. I will not see you off further."

Wei Yanwu bowed, without looking up.

After the guards outside left, Wei Yanwu slowly raised his head, his face no longer showing the same expression as before.

Wei Yanwu has worked in Longmen for so long. To put it nicely, he has at least worked hard, even if he hasn't made any great contributions. To put it bluntly, this guy, who was just a nobody from a faction, dares to be so arrogant in front of him.

There is no other possibility than the fact that the sign behind him indicates his influence in the officialdom of the Great Yan Dynasty.

Could something have happened inside the Great Yan?

Without time to think about these things, Wei Yanwu sat down behind the table, picked up his communicator, and began to arrange the various preparations to deal with the governor.

Wei Yanwu believed he had dedicated his entire life to Longmen. But Longmen was not a safe haven of peace and tranquility. Without his own methods, Wei Yanwu could not have held this position for more than a decade.

But the key lies in the methods he has prepared. If the governor finds them and files a complaint with the Great Yan court, it's hard to say what unfounded charges might be leveled against Wei Yanwu.

Wei Yanwu hadn't been involved in these intricate political maneuvers for a long time, but that didn't mean he was completely unaware of them.

As for what happened in Lungmen city, there's really no way he can handle it on his own at this stage.

He could only pin his hopes on his old friend from the slums, to see if he could help him.

After all, this incident isn't just about Lungmen; it's a clash between two major Terran nations...

Wei Yanwu couldn't help but sigh as he recalled that child.

If I had won this bet back then, things wouldn't have turned out this way.

Integrated movement...

After a moment's hesitation, Wei Yanwu immediately dialed the first number.

"Connect me to Lin Gerui, right now."

...

Meanwhile, on Rhodes Island, outside Lungmen, just minutes before, Kal'tsit, who had just finished a phone call, pushed open her room door with a gloomy expression.

"Have all elite operators assemble in the conference room within three minutes. All elite operators currently outside except Ace must attend this meeting. Have the Doctor prepare as well."

A little red hoodie standing outside the room gave a soft "hmm" in the darkness, and then the faint breathing could no longer be heard.

The documents in Kal'tsit's hand were the prepared meeting documents. After thinking for a moment, she answered another call.

"Hey?"

"explain."

The phone call was accompanied by the clanging of metal being struck, the hissing of air from a puffing drum, and the whooshing of flames.

"Where are you?"

"Kal'tsit asked."

"Are you free? Come to the conference room for a meeting in a bit."

"Me? I'm with Vulcan."

The immortal on the other end of the phone held the communicator in his hand, looking down at Vulcan, who had just formed a revolutionary friendship with him.

Vulcan looked up at him with a puzzled expression. The Undead shook his head and pointed to the design in Vulcan's hand, telling her to continue with her work and not to worry about him.

"I have some new ideas and happen to need to repair the weapons, so I came to see Vulcan. What can I do for you?"

Kal'tsit immediately understood.

She began to speak.

"Something's happened in Lungmen. The Reunion Movement has infiltrated Lungmen and is causing trouble inside. But that's not the key point. The key point is what they're looking for in Lungmen: the key to powering the core city of Chernobog."

"Core city?"

The Undead paused for a moment, then turned and walked a little further out of Vulcan's shop.

"Didn't they say that the core city had already separated from Chernobog's main urban area? How did they manage to do that without the key?"

"They've broken away, but the key they're looking for is the key to unlock the core city's power reactor operating permissions. With that key, they can make the core city complete the 'Flower Comes' project. The worst-case scenario is that they'll treat it like a car, you know what I mean?"

Kal'tsit sighed. She had initially thought it was a pipe dream. But the Reunion Movement's determination to recreate the core city at all costs, coupled with the sudden attack on Lungmen, forced her to consider this worst-case scenario.

Of course, the most crucial thing isn't what will happen to the core city. Since there weren't many residents in the core city to begin with, the losses are actually acceptable.

But this core city ultimately belongs to Ursus; wherever it is, the Ursus flag will fly.

This is not just a matter of infected people; it involves the relationship between two major powers.

"I understand. Wait for me a moment, I'll be right there."

Even the immortals realized the crucial nature of this matter.

No wonder SilverAsh came to Rhodes Island at that time. With his keen insight, he must have foreseen that the Reunion Movement was after more than just Chernobog.

"Okay, I'll wait for you in the conference room."

After saying that, Kal'tsit hung up the phone.

The Undead put away his communicator and walked back into Vulcan's shop.

"Mr. Undying, the design drawings you requested will probably take a little longer."

Vulcan held the pen in his mouth, picked up the design drawings and looked at them for a while, then turned his head to look at the Undead.

"If there's anything else you need to do, go ahead and do it. You can come back later."

"Okay, then I'll trouble you."

The immortal nodded and expressed his gratitude.

216. Farewell

When the Undead arrived at the conference room, many people were already sitting inside, discussing the Lungmen incident.

"Longmen itself has a very good geographical location, which makes this city the gateway to the Yan Kingdom."

"Yan Kingdom and Ursus are located at opposite ends of the continent, respectively. Their territories happen to border each other, and both are among the few major powers on the entire Terra continent. Moreover, Yan Kingdom itself is far more unfathomable than Ursus. Therefore, if you are to operate in Lungmen, remember to be extremely careful. Do not allow the ruler of Lungmen to find any fault with you."

Kal'tsit seems to have already divided up the action teams. It's clear she's very concerned about this incident.

"Doctor, I will temporarily bring Amiya back for this mission. You will stay with Amiya the entire time and must not act on your own."

Kal'tsit glanced at the silent Doctor beside her and gave him a special instruction.

"It's not that I don't believe in your abilities, but in this kind of situation, there really aren't many people available to protect you."

“I know, please continue.”

The doctor nodded; he also understood the seriousness of the incident.

Having spent this time on Rhodes Island, even without deliberately asking, the Doctor was able to learn a great deal about the continent simply by consulting Rhodes Island's database.

For example, the organization called Reunion Movement originated in the territory of Ursus and formed a small force on the northern ice plains of Ursus. Then, in accordance with Ursus's high-pressure policy against the infected, other infected people continued to join Reunion Movement. Later, they selected a great leader and several outstanding leaders.

Even though they claimed they wanted to liberate all the infected in Terra, what they did was no different from bandits.

At first, they were somewhat restrained, only robbing supplies transported by Ursus. Later, they even captured some villages and cities, turning them into ruins left behind by the Reunion Movement's retaliation.

Now, across Terra, following the Chernobog incident, the reputation of the Reunion Movement has shifted from an organization of infected individuals to a terrorist organization.

Rhodes Island, while ostensibly a pharmaceutical company, actually functions as a containment and treatment center for infected individuals. Anyone infected can come to Rhodes Island for treatment, either by paying money or by providing manpower.

Moreover, Rhode Island has indeed been using various gentle and positive methods to engage with different countries in an attempt to salvage the image of infected individuals in the eyes of these major powers.

The Doctor himself didn't really care about whether people were infected or not. However, the people he'd met over the past few days had all seemed normal. Especially under Kal'tsit's management, Rhodes Island might indeed be operating at a loss. But when it came to the infected, no one seemed to be hostile towards them.

This might be partly because most of Rhodes Island's inhabitants are infected. However, Rhodes Island itself has done a good job of communicating the mindset of ordinary people.

Moreover, who says that only infected people have power, and that normal humans don't have power?

The Doctor is still unaware of Rhodes Island's ultimate goal. However, he roughly understands that Rhodes Island hopes for peaceful coexistence between normal people and infected individuals.

Therefore, for Rhodes Island, the Reunion Movement's act of smearing the image of the infected with darkness is absolutely unacceptable.

We just cleared things up yesterday, and today you're splashing ink again?

"In short, let's handle things this way. Tomorrow is the day Lungmen and Rhodes Island meet, so let's make sure nothing goes wrong!"

Kal'tsit slammed her hand on the table.

"Everyone, go and get on with your business. Meeting adjourned!"

As Kal'tsit finished speaking, all the elite operators stood up, picked up the documents in front of them, and headed outside.

They could see that the Lungmen Incident was the biggest challenge Rhodes Island had ever faced.

To stop the Reunion Movement's invasion of Lungmen, end the tragedy in Chernobog, and restore the reputation of the Infected.

"So, why did you call me over?"

The undead had already donned his armor and sat in a chair in the corner, watching Kal'tsit approach him.

"There's something I need your help with, and we'll need your assistance throughout the entire Lungmen incident."

Kal'tsit said these words with a calm expression.

"To be honest, we don't have enough manpower, and among the operators who have an agreement with Rhodes Island, you are the one with the highest combat strength. Don't worry, this agreement is the same as before, it's a contract, and the emergency sanity booster you can get will be twice as much as before."

Tell me about it.

The Undead still didn't blindly agree to Kal'tsit's request; he planned to listen first and then make a decision.

Kal'tsit glanced to the side, and the Doctor immediately understood, going to close the open conference room door.

There were only three people left in the room, and Kal'tsit opened her mouth.

If someone had carefully read through all the historical documents of Terra to date...

You'll probably find a very surprising explanation in these histories.

Hundreds of years ago, it didn't have such a brilliant and advanced civilization as it does now.

People lived in small settlements named after villages, even though Oripathy existed back then. But at that time, Oripathy was not seen as a symbol of calamity as it is today.

Human beings already live in dire straits. The unknown monsters and strange natural discoveries mentioned in historical documents make human living conditions extremely difficult.

Originium Arts was initially known as Terra's Gift.
