Ark, after I died, the operators began to love me

These precious things will play a vital role in the upcoming journey.

Mike turned his head and looked at Blue Liberi. Xingji noticed Mike's gaze and looked up at him in response.

"How is the written material collected at the base camp?"

Xing Ji said seriously: "Most of the work has been completed. We have collected folk tales from the Sami region and folk stories widely circulated by the multinational joint investigation team. It will take a little time to summarize them after the collection is completed."

"Very good, report directly to me when this job is completed."

Xingji is an astronomer and historian, and perhaps Holhaiya is more suitable for this job than her, but Quetzalcoatl has a special identity. She is a god, and there are significant differences between her and other races on this land, so no risk can be taken on her.

When evil demons from the north begin to distort reality on the ice sheet, any careless negligence will lead to extremely terrible consequences.

"Adele, how are you doing?"

Adele, who was sitting second to Mike's right, heard the call, opened the notebook in her hand and said, "It has been confirmed that there are no large open-pit mines in the Sami area, but there are some scattered small mines that need attention. When we plan our route, we especially avoid these potentially dangerous mines."

"Okay, keep paying attention. I'll leave the Originium detector to you. The real trouble is outside the Northern Wall."

"Yes, senior."

Mike then asked a few more questions, each to a different staff member.

Typhon, who was sitting at the round table, was stunned. It was her first time to participate in this type of meeting. Previous Columbia investigation teams seemed to have never taken it so seriously.

Since the Sami region lacked some common sense, Typhon could not help but doubt some questions. He turned to Magellan, who was full of admiration, and asked, "Mike, your doctor, what did he say just now?"

The famous explorer had nothing but admiration for the doctor. He tilted his head slightly towards the Sarkaz girl and whispered, "The folklore investigation that Miss Xingji is in charge of is to prevent the unreal plots in the stories from becoming real when the evil demons distort reality. You know how terrifying those monsters and strange phenomena that only exist between words are.

The Originium vein investigated by Miss Adele has a very complex composition and is likely to contain some kind of magical power or complex information, which is impossible to use and even difficult to resist, and will be magnified under the distortion of evil spirits.

There is also Mr. Guiying's investigation. He has marked out the places in various areas along the way that are prone to attacks.

Mr. Zhongyue, who is in charge of equipment procurement, will be our most powerful force."

Typhon pretended not to hear the admiration in Magellan's tone and slowly lowered her head. She thought of Elki.

The Cyclops once told her something, but unfortunately she didn't understand the meaning behind it at that time. It was not until she became a demon hunter on this ice field that she realized that those were the results of the explorations made by her predecessors with their lives.

After that, Typhon and Elki were rarely together, traveling to different places on the ice field, fighting to save the lives of others, until the last few days, which was the closest Typhon had been to Elki in a short period of time.

They were only a few hundred meters apart, but they were unable to meet each other as they had hoped.

Did the Cyclops also take into account the details that Mike had thought about when helping the Colombian explorers move forward?

No wonder Elki met this man alone.

After several reports, the meeting came to a temporary halt. During the break, Mike rubbed his nose. During the meeting, he found that Typhon's eyes began to become strange when he looked at him. Could it be that the Sarkaz girl wanted a godfather?

He changed his mind and thought that the title of godfather was not very appropriate. After all, this was an extremely high-risk job.

Unfortunately, Ragnar left first to reorganize her warriors, and they will meet at the Wall in the North next.

Before this, without the help of a fortune teller, Mike could only carry out his plan step by step, and didn't even dare to take the slightest risk.

If he were alone, he would not be stopped at such a short distance, but now he has a team under him, and he is responsible for everyone's life.

As for why Mike gave up the more convenient and quick individual action and instead switched to a medium-sized team with complex composition and insufficient ability to cope with changing environments, he had his own considerations in mind.

First of all, this team is composed of people from various countries, including Yan Country, Casimir, Leitania, and even Ursus.

Secondly, their status on the land of Terra cannot be said to be crucial, but at least they have a place. In other words, these people are much stronger than ordinary people in all aspects.

Finally, and most importantly, Mike's appearance on the ice field means that the environment on the ice field has become extremely harsh. There are limits to what he can do alone, and the number of people he can save is very small. But it would be different if it were a team. This team has a very rich and detailed division of labor. Once they enter a tribe, they will quickly integrate into a very considerable force. Everyone will do their job and try to save as many lives as possible.

Mike withdrew his gaze. He remembered what Kal'tsit had said to him before leaving, and couldn't help but sigh.

Although he was reluctant to admit it, he had already built the worst-case scenario into the entire action plan.

As for what the worst-case scenario would be, Elki showed up in person to tell him.

The disaster struck ahead of schedule, and the Sami Glacier fell into complete silence. No sound could be heard anymore, and the outside world was unable to provide effective rescue. It was almost the same as the great silence of the Haisi era.

……

The headquarters of the Joint Exploration Association has the addresses of various scientific research stations established by many countries on the Sami Ice Field. After Mike and others got the map, they only need to follow the map.

Fortunately, there is Magellan, a professional who has traveled all over the Sami Glacier and can easily point out the irregularities on the map.

Mike had some communication with the little penguin, and after the conversation, the man was completely desperate about Kal'tsit's arrangement.

It turned out that Magellan was something he picked up on the road and was not part of the giant lynx's plan.

In other words, the giant lynx did not actually assign any female team members to him.

As for whether Typhon was willing to stay, Mike didn't ask. Since Elkidu had come to him, he had to do it for the Cyclops's sake.

"I'm going to go out for a while. Mr. Zhongyue, you will preside over the next meeting."

Mike stood up and walked out. At this moment, most of the links had been confirmed, and the remaining work was to finalize the details of the plan. As the chief designer, there was no need for him to grab the microphone.

After all, when it comes to different fields, professionals are trustworthy.

Mike had something else in mind.

The Rhine Life team is about to arrive at the base camp. How should he face Muirseth?

Although water elves look like girlfriends, they actually have similar habits to young women.

Mike thought of this and didn't dare to think about it further.

Because Muerseth had been abandoned once, and that person's name was Christen. She was still floating in the sky. Before Terra completely stepped out of the planet and possessed aerospace technology, it was almost impossible to find her back.

This abandonment left a deep impression on Muirseth, and it was when she was most vulnerable that Mike entered her heart.

Just like the content in the pictures posted by many brothers on the forum, he gave her warmth, care, love and concern, and when she thought she had obtained a good life and would never be alone again, he died in front of her.

Mike hadn't thought about it so much before, but now that the problem was directly in front of him, he knew what kind of water elf he was facing.

"I wonder if it would be any use just kneeling down and begging for mercy?"

Walking out of the government building of the base camp, Mike wrapped his clothes tightly. The weather at the moment had not completely improved. It was difficult to see the sun in the sky, and there was always a thin layer of fog in the air, which made the situation even worse for the already icy Sami Icefield.

Adding insult to injury is not an adjective.

Even the most immune body will feel the cold.

Mike thought that it was a good thing that he was not Dr. An in human form now, because in that form he would lack defense and the ability to adapt to complex environments.

In demon form, he can cope with extreme environments, but he looks too scary. Even the people in the base camp might mistake him for a demon, which would not be worth it.

Only the balanced form... Well, the balanced form has also been fine-tuned by Kal'tsit. At least the balanced form that Mike controls independently is better than its current state.

Before he knew it, Mike arrived at the door of a decoration store in the base camp.

The boss who runs this place is a Sami who returned from a long journey. He might have been to a country like Casimir or Colombia. The posters and slogans posted at the door fully reflect his incompatibility with the native Sami people.

Therefore, the main customers of this store are not Sami people, but members of expedition teams from other countries.

Without Anma's blessing, the snowballs made in Sami cannot be brought outside, and the Sami people, who lack knowledge of the outside world, find it difficult to provide presentable decorations or souvenirs.

Therefore, it is very important for a Sami who has seen the outside world, understands what outsiders want, knows what Sami can provide, and can make the most reasonable arrangements.

At least this is the current situation.

For no reason, Mike thought of the Kalan Trade and Kjerag.

The last time he visited Kjerag was several years ago. He didn't know if the snowy mountain still looked the same as before, nor did he know if the relationship between the Silver-Age siblings had recovered a little after he left.

Well, Mike felt that he shouldn't have such extravagant hopes. Instead of wanting Chuxue to forgive Yinhui, it would be better to believe that their journey would be safe and sound.

"What do you want to buy?"

The owner of the decoration store saw Mike lingering at the door and asked him a question kindly. Mike quickly shook his head, saying that he needed to think about it again.

So the man walked slowly into the store. There were several shelves in the store that were taller than his. There were many strange items on the shelves, including specially treated ice cubes and a carefully carved rock. The wood carvings on the wooden shelves were lined up in a row, representing different races.

Mike thought to himself, if he wanted to get Muirseth's forgiveness, what kind of gift would be a stepping stone?

He walked around the store, looking from one item to another, but didn't get the answer he wanted.

At this moment, he found that there seemed to be another customer on the other side of the shelf, who was also choosing gifts.

However, due to the tall shelves and relatively dense merchandise, Mike was unable to detect the other person's appearance. He only knew that it was a young woman.

At this time, the owner of the jewelry store came over and asked in a low voice: "Sir, who do you want to give it to? Your girlfriend? Maybe this weather bottle is suitable."

Mike picked up the crystal bottle in front of him and took a look. Because there was no electricity, the water in the crystal bottle was cloudy and he couldn't tell what kind of weather it was.

He asked quietly, "Are there really girls who like this thing?"

"Of course there will be. As long as it is delicate and exquisite enough, and 100% sincere, the other party will be able to detect it."

Mike thought to himself, he wouldn't be fooled by such a simple trick, okay?

But just as he was hesitating, a young girl's voice came from the other side of the shelf: "I'm afraid this sincerity is not enough to impress girls."

The owner of the jewelry store had a frozen expression on his face, and it was not easy for him to refute whether the other customer was right, so he had to ask, "So, miss, what do you think? Maybe you can help this gentleman."

"First of all, we need to find out what happened between this gentleman and his girlfriend. Only then can we prescribe the right medicine."

Mike thought, how could he have the nerve to say directly that he faked his death and left Rhode Island? Besides, wasn't it a bit too despicable to ask others to help him deal with Muirseth?

70. They love each other

It's okay to be mean, Mike thought, as long as he didn't say Muirseth's name, it wouldn't be considered bullying.

He paused for several seconds on purpose, but unfortunately he didn't get to wait for the young lady across the shelf to say that she wasn't interested in other people's business.

Sure enough, the soul of gossip lurks deep in the heart of every woman.

Mike cleared his throat and began his performance according to the script he had prepared.

"I have a friend……"

“A very classic beginning.”

It was hard to tell whether the lady on the other side sounded happy or angry, but her interruption made Mike very unhappy.

"Sorry, sorry, don't worry, I won't interrupt you again."

Mike paused before continuing, "I really have a friend. He is a man of excellent character and noble soul. There is no reason why there is anyone more perfect than him on this earth. Well, he does have his imperfections. He is kind-hearted, gentle and considerate, and also resourceful. He left a girl he loved deeply for some unavoidable reasons. Now they may be able to reconcile and return to the sweet and beautiful days before. He asked me to buy a gift to repair the relationship between him and the person he likes..."

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

Before the young lady across the shelf could speak, the owner of the jewelry store standing not far from Mike jumped up first.

Seeing how furious he was, it seemed that Mike's description just now brought back some unpleasant memories.

Maybe everyone has an unforgettable past.

Mike was a little unhappy on the spot. "Boss, do you know how to do business? Shouldn't you speak up for me at this time?"

The owner of the jewelry store said gloomily, "Sir, since the Colombians entered the Sami Icefield, it has indeed brought some novel changes to this land covered with ice and snow all year round, but you shouldn't be obsessed with science fiction movies and imagine a girlfriend who doesn't exist at all!"

When Mike heard his words, veins popped out on his forehead. He emphasized, "This is a true story. I told you it was my friend. Do you understand what I mean by friend? It's not me!"

Just as the two were about to start arguing, the lady on the other side of the shelf who had refused to show up finally spoke.

Her voice seemed to have a magical power that quickly calmed the anger of the two people.

"Don't quarrel. If it's false, we'll treat it as true. If it's true, I hope to help your friend solve his troubles."

Look how good he is at speaking.

Mike had just developed a slight liking for the lady across the shelf, but her next words completely overwhelmed him.

"Sir, let's assume that you are your friend. Put yourself in his shoes and think about it. How would you deal with the current situation?"

"I do not know."

The lady seemed to have expected this answer. Without any time to think, she continued, following Mike's meaning, "I don't know is a very good answer. Many people are deeply involved in it and can't see clearly. They are also afraid that others can see clearly. Because of all the unspoken words, they lead to the final tragic ending. Sir, you are better than your friend. He dare not speak out, but you ask others for help and reference."

"Makes sense."

The owner of the jewelry store looked at Mike with a little more pity and sympathy.

Men will always find common ground in strange places.

"Now, let's start over again, or the assumption just now, sir, what is your relationship with your girlfriend like?"

"us……"

The words were on Mike's lips, and his mind recalled every scene of his time with Muirseth.

They went shopping together in the mall in Tremont City, trying on couple clothes. Because the height of the human form was far less than that of the balanced form, the water elf only wore flat shoes and rarely talked about height.
