Ark Traveler, I want to take a day off today too

"Kal'tsit, where did you find this freak?" The Sarkaz woman named Askalon looked at Kal'tsit strangely.

“I picked it up from the wilderness. Is there any problem?” Kal’tsit had to squint to be able to see clearly what Red was doing. Unlike Red’s violent and fast movements, Linley was moving between several wooden stakes and targets as if he was strolling in a field. The dagger in his hand would only be swung when necessary to block Red’s attack.

"That man hasn't used any Originium skills yet, but his speed is still able to keep up with Hong." The woman who was once in charge of the high-level security of the Tower of Babel explained calmly, "And he hasn't launched an active attack yet. Hong's attack process has been broken three or four times."

"He didn't catch it?"

"No, he always retracts his hand when he is about to reach out." Sarkaz said as he walked out of the training ground. "Kal'tsit, stop this training. This man has no interest in fighting. He may be strong, but he may not be suitable for SWEEP."

"Those who are not willing to take ruthless actions are not suitable to join this team."

"You, why don't you attack?" Hong said as he lowered his body and threw out the flying knife from the inside of his coat, but the opponent dodged it with just a flash.

“Because I haven’t figured out how to subdue you without hurting you.” Lin Lei responded in distress. His savior didn’t look like a simple person either. Why did this little girl under her have such a strong desire to attack?

Neither his light energy nor the psychic energy he obtained from the Ghost Project next door has recovered, and now he can only rely on his past fighting instincts and experience to fight this dog-eared girl with rather ferocious movements.

Kal'tsit did not stop immediately as Ascalon said, because she was very curious about the strength of this guy who only had half of his body left. "Even Warfarin, a blood demon, was surprised by his recovery speed..."

Half an hour later, the old lynx walked down the stand with a pair of dead fish eyes: "What's the posture of you guys?"

Linley held Hong against his thigh like a trained dog, while his other hand gently stroked the girl’s back and head. Hong, with a look of being played with, lay on the man’s lap and hummed weakly:

"Red is a wolf hunter, not a puppy..."

“Okay, okay, it’s not a puppy, but is this position comfortable?” Lin Lei said as he gently stroked Hong’s fluffy and smooth gray tail with his fingers. The girl moaned and nodded very sincerely.

At this time, Kal'tsit came over, and Linley waved his hand with a smile: "Good morning, benefactor. I know that proper exercise can speed up the body's recovery, but it is not appropriate for me to do such high-intensity exercise so early in the morning, right?"

"I don't think it's that weak to transform from half of a body into a complete person in a month and a half." Kelsey said bluntly. She just looked at her phone for a few minutes to arrange the work. How did these two guys become like this? The old lynx asked with great curiosity:

"How do you do that? Red subconsciously cuts off everything within five centimeters of himself."

“Then you’ll need tools to cut it.” Linley pointed angrily at the ground. There were thirteen throwing knives on the ground, twelve of which were red. All of these throwing knives were more or less worn out, and the last one was directly pierced through by Linley’s dagger.

"Then how did she..."

“Have you ever heard of Brazilian judo? I know a guy who’s good at killing people with pencils. He taught me this.” Linley continued to speak in a way that the all-knowing Kal’tsit couldn’t understand. “Then I added some of my own understanding to it, such as how to calm an angry puppy.”

"Hong is not a puppy." The girl rubbed it in dissatisfaction.

…back to the present…

Three years had passed, and Hong was still in that state of keeping strangers away, and the only Rhodes Island members who could have normal physical contact with her were still a few people like Lin Lei.

"If Red comes here, then the Scavenger will also come."

"Yes, but she seems to be responsible for the safety of Dr. Kal'tsit." Amiya nodded, "By the way, Chief Inspector Chen, you just said that if the cooperation can satisfy you..."

Chen picked up a piece of steamed scaly beast. It had no small thorns and no fishy smell. It only had the aroma of soy sauce and the scaly beast itself. This was also his and Tallulah’s favorite dish in the past. “If this cooperation can satisfy the Guard Bureau, I will persuade Chief Wei to relax the jurisdiction and restrictions on the Lungmen infected.”

"Rhodes Island will become the first infected-related organization to truly cooperate with Lungmen."

"Is that so? That's great."

While Amiya and the others were chatting happily with Chen and Ansuo, Misha looked at Lin Lei who was concentrating on petting the dog and said, “Excuse me, are you Mr. Drege?”

“It’s me. This should be the third time we’ve met.” Linley stopped what he was doing and kindly reminded him, “If I were you, I wouldn’t ask me such dry questions about Broken Bones.”

“If you don’t eat such delicious food, you won’t be able to eat it when you go to Rhodes Island.” Linley looked ‘heartbroken’. “No matter how delicious the canteen is, it’s still a canteen. Why doesn’t Kal’tsit let me open a snack bar on the ship? Then I can collect the wages of other employees.”

By then, we can plan with Klothir and operate on that big cat among the elite operators who looks silly and likes to use a chainsaw. Wouldn't we be rich then?

“No, Mr. Linley, your proposal was not rejected by Dr. Kal’tsit. I rejected it.” Amiya looked at him apologetically. “Because you often act on your impulse, if you open a shop, you will probably work for three days and rest for two days, so I directly rejected it with Dr. Kal’tsit’s stamp.”

066. Shadow of the Dragon

"Oh, you're back so soon? Frost Star, you didn't just hang out at the door and come back, did you?" W said with a smile as he sat on the low wall and threw his explosive pack.

Frost Star took out a yellow candy from her pocket and put it in her mouth. This spicy candy made from a mixture of vodka and various spices was White Rabbit's favorite - because it could make her feel a little warm even though she couldn't even drink hot water.

"I met the chief of the Longmen Guards in the slums."

"Ah? Didn't the elder sister give you any trouble?" Several members of the Snow Monster Team surrounded them instantly, chattering and asking with concern, "Why don't we just freeze the slums and let the Guards know how powerful we are?"

These guys have such a good relationship, how could the Sarkaz have teammates with such a relationship? W glanced at them with a little envy, she once had such teammates, but now one of them has been assassinated by the soldiers of the Reunion Movement, and the other has gone to the capital of Victoria, Londinium, to accept punishment in order to buy her time.

"What are you talking about? You should know that there are still many of our compatriots and innocent people in the slums. If you do this, what is the difference between you and a lunatic like Mephisto?" Frost Star knocked on the heads of two of the "radicals" and said, "Hurry up and stand guard."

After saying that, the white rabbit walked straight towards W: "Let's talk."

"Talk to me? But I don't have anything to talk to you about, Snow Monster Princess." W put away the explosive pack in his hand and said with a playful look, "Everyone knows that Froststar and our leader Talulah are extremely close partners."

"That was in the past, not now." Frost Star responded calmly, "Want to chat?" She stretched out her hand, and the Originium staff that was like a dripper pointed to the outskirts of the mining area, but there was no one there.

"Since you are like this, I don't seem to have any reason to refuse." W laughed and looked at the Sarkaz mercenaries who were about to surround him and said, "If I don't come back, then you can choose one of you to be the leader of the mercenary group, and now obey my orders and stay here!"

A quarter of an hour later, Froststar and W stood still in the wilderness, and the Sarkaz girl shrugged: "Do you still want to go forward? There is no one here anymore."

"No need. If someone comes, I can sense it at any time." Froststar shook her head and looked at W: "Is the King Slayer coming soon?"

"Well, isn't this what we agreed on before? The King Slayer and her assassination team will bring enough chaos to Lungmen, and that will be the time for us to severely damage the Lungmen Guard Bureau and return to Chernobog."

"Don't you think there's something wrong with Tallulah?" Froststar lowered her voice and stared at W.

"What's wrong with her? Hasn't Tallulah always been like this?" W laughed dryly. Her good comrade Ines was brutally killed by the Reunion warriors just because she discovered that there were two souls in Tallulah's body.

Now that Shuangxing asked this, did she want to silence her as well?

"The Talulah of the past would not be so extreme, and would not kill your friend for such a small matter." Froststar looked at W coldly. Frost accumulated on the ground, and the originally lush grass was covered with white frost. "Or did the one who was killed have nothing to do with you?"

"What did you see?" W raised the grenade in her hand and pointed it at Frost Star. Her fake smile disappeared and turned into a furious look.

Froststar looked directly into W's eyes and slowly suppressed the grenade: "It's not like I don't have eyes. The red-haired Sarkaz mercenary and the black-haired one are both on good terms with you, right? Although the number of times you communicate with each other is not that many, it's much more than with other mercenaries."

"I'm not interested in hearing the stories or comradeship you've only seen. I just want to know what your friend discovered that made Tallulah kill him!" The white rabbit growled in a low voice, "In the past, when she was still around, Tallulah had never been as extreme as she is now."

"She is now like a demon controlled by revenge, and the demon's actions will only lead the Integration Movement and these innocent people to destruction, rather than new hope!" Froststar put away the staff in her hand, and the coldness gradually subsided. "So tell me, what did your friend see?"

"I can tell you, but you have to swear with Froststar's real name not to tell anyone else, not even the Patriots." W snorted coldly.

"I swear in the name of Yelena to the Terra Continent that I will not tell anyone else what you said!" Frost Star then pointed to the sky and swore, and W then moved closer with a relaxed expression:

"There are two souls in Tallulah's body, and the one that is in control now is a black, snake-like soul." W said, and then he walked back toward the mine. "Come to think of it, the temperature around you doesn't seem to be that low anymore."

“Is that so…” Froststar nodded thoughtfully, remembering Linley’s words: “The conscience of the Reunion Movement… As for me, I just hope that the infected can have a better future…”

"And Tallulah...are you still you?"

......Longmen City......

“What’s with your frustrated expression?” Xingxiong asked with a smile as he looked at Linley, who was eating a scale pill mouthful by mouthful. “Is it that the white rabbit is not gentle anymore, or is it that the little red riding hood is not easy to touch?”

“Hiss…” After hearing this question, which sounded like a ghost asking for his life, Linley suddenly recovered from his daze. “Who told you all this?”

"You followed my boss to the slums, who do you think it would be?" Xingxiong said, and shouted to the white-haired Ursus youth who was whistling at the side: "Jie, two more bowls of scale balls, and two bottles of beer too."

"Okay!" This scarred and extremely ferocious-looking guy had an unexpectedly gentle voice and attitude, "Sister Xingxiong, two bottles are enough for today?"

“How about two bottles of wine to calm your nerves first?” Gui answered Ji’s question with a grin. She then looked at Lin Lei and said in a low voice, “Do you know that girl is a cadre of the Reunion Movement? If you get so close to her, what will the people in Rhodes Island think?”

“But I can’t let a fighter die in Dragon Gate for no reason.” Linley drank the Scale Ball Soup. The light fresh taste made him enjoy it very much. “That person, Frost Star, I met her in Qie City.”

"She and the Patriots' troops are the most suitable for the word "troop" in the integration movement." He said softly, "They can be said to be strict with themselves, which is why I let her leave."

Of course, good looks are also a factor, Linley added silently in his heart.

067.Don't do it, brother.JPG

“Is it really not because he’s good-looking?” Xingxiong’s fingers gently scratched Linley’s cheek. “I remember someone told me a year and a half ago that his XP was white hair.”

You woman, you hold a grudge! “I told you that I really like a certain green-haired female ghost, why don’t you remember?” Lin Lei said unhappily. Upon hearing this, Xingxiong immediately changed his attitude from scratching to pinching:

“Who said I didn’t remember? How dare you, a little man, doubt me?” The ghost girl pecked Linley lightly on the lips. “But the Reunion Movement is still a potential threat to Longmen, right? After all, according to what you said, not everyone in the Reunion Movement is united.”

"That's right. Besides, Froststar isn't the leader of the Reunion Movement, right?"

"Brother-in-law, here's your beer." Jie was not shy at all and started calling him brother-in-law or brother-in-law directly - what a joke, he had been hanging out on the streets of Longmen for a while, but this was the first time he had seen someone as affectionate as Sister Gui on the streets.

"The boy is very good at talking."

"His name is Jie. I think he's quite suitable to work in your Rhode Island," Xingxiong introduced softly. "This store is not actually his store. It's Uncle Dong's store."

Why is he still working so hard? Linley looked back at Jie in disbelief: “But his appearance does make him easy to be misunderstood, right?”

"But it's a good thing in this slum area. The thugs will give up causing trouble nearby because of his appearance." Xingxiong said with a smile, "This area can be said to be the most stable place in the entire slum."

"Of course there is another reason why this place is stable."

As Xingxiong introduced, a film girl with an ancient head came slowly from the other end of the street carrying a basket of vegetables: "Jie, are the scale balls I ordered ready?"

"Wait two more minutes. Is this for Brother Li again?"

"That's not true, but if he comes in person, he will probably buy on credit." The girl codenamed Huai Hu is as energetic as her appearance. "By the way, why is Officer Xingxiong here today? Did you run into gangsters again?"

"No, look at that big brother, he's Sister Xingxiong's man."

"Huh?!" Huai Hu exclaimed in surprise, "Can a famous underworld girl like me have a boyfriend? Then how come a young and beautiful female college student like me doesn't have one?"

"Isn't it because a certain female college student has been obsessed with Kung Fu?" Xingxiong stood up with a smile and ruffled the girl's messy hair. "Besides, why can't I have a boyfriend? Also, let your boss and that kid named Ah behave themselves."

"Sister Ghost, what happened?" The girl squinted her eyes comfortably, and opened them again after hearing Xingxiong's warning, "Did Ah go to the street stall to sell his 'unlicensed good products' again?"

"Hiss... there's such a thing?" Xingxiong scratched his head. "Tell him to be more careful about this kind of thing. If there's any problem with the food, then he and Laoli will have to go to jail anyway. Mainly because of the recent integration movement, Longmen has begun martial law, and you guys in the office have to pay more attention to it."

This made Jie and Lin Lei look at each other in bewilderment - can selling something without a license be called an 'unlicensed good product'? You guys don't even arrest people who sell fake medicine?

“Ahem.” Linley coughed twice, which also attracted Huai Hu’s attention:

"Brother-in-law, are you not feeling well?"

“No, no.” Are all of you stupid kids so straightforward? Linley waved his hand. “I just wanted to attract Miss Xingxiong’s attention. Otherwise, she would probably ignore me for another half an hour.”

Xingxiong immediately put his hand on Linley’s shoulder after hearing this: “That’s not the case, but are you full?”

“I’m full. The food tastes great.” Linley nodded at Jie and said, “Are you interested in opening a shop with me on the ship in Rhodes Island later?”

"Me...me?"

"Yes, you are so skilled, you will definitely make a fortune if you follow me to Rhodes Island." This time I found a serious expert in street stall economy, I wonder how Amiya can reject me!

Just as Lin Lei was secretly making his own plans, his cell phone rang—it was Amiya.

"Hey, Amy..."

“Ami, what’s Ami? This is Kal’tsit. Come to the Rhodes Island base to see me at 8 o’clock tonight. If you don’t know, ask the Star Bear who lives with you.” Kal’tsit’s inorganic voice instantly appeared on the other end of the line, and Linley immediately made an expression like an old man on the subway with a cell phone.

"If you want to continue your life of luxury, you'd better arrive on time, or I'll send Mon3tr to pick you up."

Shit! Why would anyone ask someone to work overtime during holidays?

“What’s wrong?” Xingxiong asked with concern, while Linley waved his hands with a look of stomachache.

"Nothing, I have to work overtime today, you can go back and have a rest early, you don't have to wait for me."

"Then I'll give you the spare key to my house." Xingxiong said as he ran out with a shiny and warm key, "Remember to come back early."

“Then I’ll be leaving first.” As Linley took a step forward with his left foot, he seemed to remember something and said to Huai Hu, “If you graduate later, don’t be like your brother-in-law, who had his vacation taken up by his boss.”

After saying this, Linley floated away like a gust of wind.

......Rhode Island Station......

“I’m glad you still have a good sense of time.” Kal’tsit looked at the panting Linley and commented calmly, “I thought you would come here reeking of alcohol and with lipstick marks all over your body.”

“That’s not the case. I didn’t drink today, and Xingxiong doesn’t have the habit of wearing lipstick.” Lin Lei scratched his head and replied. He didn’t know if it was his illusion, but Kal’tsit, who had a cold aura to begin with, seemed to become even colder after hearing his answer.

He clapped his hands and looked into Kal'tsit's eyes, which were calm and still. "So why are you in such a hurry to call me back? Amiya and the others haven't come back yet, right?"

"Amiya and the others came back a long time ago. They won't be like you and think of slacking off so soon." Kal'tsit said unhappily, "Tomorrow Rhodes Island will start the second phase of cooperation with Longmen. This is also the time to show their sincerity and our strength."

"And if the Reunion Movement is really Koschei's world as you said, then he will definitely not let go of this opportunity. According to the information SWEEP has obtained from the black market here, the immortal black snake and Longmen have a great relationship."

"Why didn't you tell Wei Yanwu and his gang about this?"

"How can we talk about something without evidence?" Kal'tsit snorted coldly, "But we still have to be prepared for both situations. I hope you can guarantee the safety of Amiya and the Doctor as you did before."

068. The Arrival of the Regicide

“Why do I have to be a babysitter again?” Linley scratched his nose. “Aren’t ACE and Scout already here? Do you still want me to do this kind of thing?”

"Go ahead and talk, and give me another one." Kal'tsit raised her index and middle fingers towards the other party.
