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

The girl almost had the thought of "Can you go in and buy some more bread for me" written on her face. "Then why don't you come in with me to choose? After all, I don't know what flavors those kids like, right?"

"But I'm infected, so don't... pull me."

“With me here, nothing will happen.” Linley said with a smile. After all, this was not the first time he had seen a mineral testing device like this. He had done something similar the last time he took Amiya shopping at Taikoo Plaza in Longmen.

The bakery is run by a traditional auntie named Kuranta. When the two of them pushed the door open, a strong aroma of baking hit their noses, accompanied by a hint of wheat aroma, which made them want to eat. The sunlight shines through the translucent glass windows onto the neatly arranged bread racks, and the golden bread looks particularly tempting in the light and shadow.

When the fat lady saw Linley and Sona, she smiled faintly, looking quite kind. But Sona knew that this was only for normal people, otherwise who installed the mineral disease detection device at the door of the bakery?

“Hey, how did you do that?” Sona poked Linley in the waist, and the man rolled his eyes in annoyance:

"Why do you all like to poke my waist? Will you support me if my waist is broken? Besides, how can you do this? It's just some simple magic tricks." As he said this, he took out a plate from the side and put the tiramisu and strawberry pudding in front of him on it.

"Hey, these things may taste good, but they certainly can't fill your stomach."

“I bought this myself. If you want to buy bread for those kids, just pick it yourself.” Lin Lei said as he took two more small cakes. If you don’t consider the price and sweetness, these small cakes are really like works of art.

Compared to Linley, the bread Sona got was much more plain—most of it was meat floss bread and salad bread. Perhaps because she hadn’t eaten breakfast, the girl’s stomach suddenly growled at the rich aroma of wheat and milk in the bakery.

“Haven’t you eaten yet?” Linley asked as he took the girl’s plate filled with bread.

"Well, the main reason is that I overslept. If I don't get there soon, my spot will be taken away."

“Don’t do this again. Consider this batch of bread your treat.” Linley handed over the credit card Amiya had given him. Sona got anxious when she heard that. “Eh? No no no no no! Didn’t we just agree on this?”

The fat lady still kept smiling, and sighed at the vitality of the young people: "Because these breads are freshly baked, their shelf life is relatively short. You must eat them early~" She packed the bread neatly and looked at Lin Lei in a low voice:

"Are you two a couple?"

“Of course not, she’s my sister.” Linley replied expressionlessly, and Flametail quietly kicked someone’s heel with her iron boots. ‘You’re my sister!’ the girl thought angrily.

"Then you two have a pretty good relationship as siblings~" The auntie was still smiling. After all, such a large pile of bread plus a few small desserts would cost a lot of money anyway. How could a boss not be so stingy with money?

Five minutes later, Lin Lei came out carrying two large bags of bread, and the girl was holding the tiramisu that Lin Lei had just bought. “Hey, you’re not going to eat this cake yourself?”

"I bought it myself without telling you that I wanted to eat it, and you girls should all like this kind of thing, right?" In someone's impression, even the rough-and-tough Xingxiong likes this kind of small dessert. "Let's go, just eat and lead the way. After all, I haven't really seen those illegal infected people living in dark corners."

"Then follow me." The girl nodded, and then she scooped a spoonful of tiramisu into her mouth - 'It's sweet and delicious~'

035. The Suffering of This Continent

In a sense, the residential areas of these illegally infected people are not difficult to find. You just need to turn a few more corners in a dark and deserted alley and you will get there.

'No wonder those assassins from the Wu Zhou League were so sure of finding you, this kind of place is really not that hard to find.' For those from the Wu Zhou League, this kind of settlement is probably like finding a box full of red gold in the corner while taking a walk.

These tents along the drainage pipes and drainage ditches were undoubtedly where the infected lived. The Kuranta and Zalak children, who had been trembling with fear when they saw Linley, cheered when they saw Yanwei standing nearby.

"Sister Squirrel!"

The children’s shouts also attracted the other illegally infected people hiding in the tents. Standing in the front were even two infected knights wearing armor. One of them even looked familiar to Lin Lei. “Is this the guy you just fought in the arena?”

“Yes, we actually have connections with many infected knights, and we hope that all infected knights can fight for the same goal.” Flametail explained as he took the bag of bread from Linley and walked over.

"Ed, share the bread with everyone. At least let these children have something good to eat."

"But Flametail...you won all these in the competition, and you're just giving them to us?" The Kuranta knight carrying a battle axe whispered, "And can we trust that guy? I see he's carrying a bow, so he can't be from the Helmetless Alliance."

"His name is Drjie, and he's a bounty hunter." Sona explained immediately, "and everyone else might cooperate with the Helmetless Alliance, but he definitely won't." Although I still don't know why he wants to help us, the girl added silently in her heart.

“I’ve already killed two teams from the No-Heroes Alliance. If your side is going to be exposed, it’s definitely not my fault.” Linley waved his hand. “After all, I think anyone can just wander in and get into your area.”

"But this is the most ventilated and suitable place for living that we can find nearby." Ed explained in a low voice: "Other places are fine for adults, but definitely not suitable for children."

“Is it definitely not suitable for children?” Linley just stood there and looked at the children squatting there and sharing the bread in their hands. He vaguely remembered that he had seen a similar scene in the past.

......The dividing line of memories......

It was a wanderer camp located near the Ursus Wasteland, and Linley had just escaped from the gates of hell.

"Although your body is recovering incredibly fast, you are still a patient. There is no need for you to come out with me." This cat-eared doctor who is as beautiful as emerald said to me, "It seems that you can already understand Ursus?"

“Yes, but it will take some time to truly master it.” Linley smiled bitterly while leaning on his cane. “But if I continue to stay on your ship, that vampire lady will probably start eating meat again.”

"Next time she draws blood without your consent, tell me." Kal'tsit said calmly, "But since you are here, I will show you the current situation of this continent. I won't ask about your past, but since you are here, you naturally have to have your own understanding of the area you live in."

"But if you have any questions, remember to ask me after the operation is finished." Kal'tsit walked in carrying her medicine box and backpack, as if she was completely defenseless.

'Is this woman really not afraid of what those guys might do to her? 'If it were him, he would definitely bury enough explosives nearby first. After all, he had been killed by others at least fifty times while wandering in the wilderness, and the way he died each time was different for this time traveler.

From being tricked into a fighting cage, to mistakenly entering a zombie testing base, to being shot away by a sniper on the stage, Linley could be said to have experienced too much. "Ah~" But it seemed that this woman didn't care at all, and she didn't make any moves.

The man could only limp towards the camp with his crutches. Although his recovery speed was very fast, his newly grown limbs were still a little uncomfortable. "I wish I had the self-healing ability of Deadpool or Wolverine."

Unfortunately, the Tiansha system had never taken him to the plane most frequently visited by time travelers, and all he had experienced was one hell on earth after another. When Lin Lei limped into the scavenger camp, no one did anything to him or the doctor who was seeking medical treatment in the center of the camp.

At this moment, a terrified shout suddenly sounded from a corner of the camp: "Doctor, doctor, come quickly! Parker is dying!"

In an instant, all the patients and other people in the camp looked towards the voice, except Dr. Filin, who was still making his diagnosis. An Ursus man, half of his body was covered with black crystals, was crawling out of the tent with great difficulty, and behind him was an Ursus woman who also had black crystals on her arms.

It was obvious that the man was no longer able to move normally. He used his still movable left hand to crawl laboriously out of the tent and even out of the camp. Under the influence of the black mineral crystals, he could not even utter a complete sentence.

But Linley could still vaguely understand what the man wanted to say: “I can’t die in the camp. I can’t die in the camp. I can’t let others become... like me.”

But at this moment he could do nothing, and the doctor sitting in the chair did nothing either - because they all knew that the man was beyond saving, and it was already a miracle that he could crawl out of the camp by willpower, so how could they expect more?

"If possible, you must move tonight." The doctor still looked calm, "Otherwise, other people in the camp might also be infected." She took out a dose of medicine from her box and said, "And don't move that person's body...it will be infected."

As for what happened afterwards, Linley’s memory was a little fuzzy, but he remembered that the doctor not only told him the name but also helped him dispose of the body of the patient with severe mineral disease, as well as the words that the woman said to him under the moonlight:

"Do you now understand the suffering of this continent?"

036. You are such an annoying guy!

“Hey, why are you distracted? Come back to your senses! Come back to your senses!” Sona waved her hands in front of Lin Lei, who was obviously distracted. “If the No-Horn Alliance attacked us at this time, you would be dead.”

“They wouldn’t dare to do that, and you’re here with us.” Linley grabbed the girl’s hand and rubbed her head again. “It feels so good. Have you sent out all the bread?”

"Yeah, but they didn't want the desserts you bought. Do you want to bring..."

"What are you bringing? Take it back for your little sister to eat." The man directly pressed the other's hand, "Besides, haven't you done today's training yet?"

"Um?!"

Sona's big tail, which was originally swaying from side to side, suddenly straightened up, and her bright brown eyes stared at the other party closely: "What... are you going to do?" The part where she was hit yesterday seemed to begin to ache slightly.

“To help you become better knights, of course I don’t need that.” Linley narrowed his eyes and smiled. “You know, in the past I would never go to a place like the training ground. I wouldn’t go even if you paid me.”

“So what are we going to pay for that?”

Even though she had received many favors from the bounty hunter, Sona still didn't believe that there was such a thing as a free lunch.

“As for the price, we’ll talk about it later. After all, I haven’t thought about it yet.” Linley scratched his head. “Although I don’t mind standing here, they probably won’t welcome me because I’m not an infected person.” As he whispered, Sona also realized that the atmosphere was not right:

"Then let's go, but let me make this clear, I'll be responsible for lunch! Just tell me what you want to eat!"

“You’re treating? Really? Then I’ll choose the restaurant…” Looking at the girl’s proud eyes, Lin Lei immediately revealed a malicious smile.

Half an hour later, the two of them appeared in front of the Baiyinsong restaurant where they had just eaten last night, and Yanwei pinched Lin Lei's arm expressionlessly: "Drejie, did you do this on purpose?" How can I afford to go to a restaurant like this! The girl muttered quietly, if you want to really eat in a restaurant like this, you must be at least in the top 16, right?

But she is just a little-known infected knight now. Although she has a title, there is still a big gap between her and the real strong ones like "Left Hand" and "Whip Blade". Not to mention other things, just in terms of the scale of the knight group, Hongsong is quite different from that of "Feng Helmet".

“You said you wanted me to pick whatever I wanted. At most, you can treat me and I’ll pay.” It wasn’t my money anyway, Linley added to himself as he dragged the little squirrel towards the restaurant. “To be honest, I’m really hungry.”

After the two of them sat down and the waiter handed over the menu, Sona realized belatedly: "Why do I feel like I've been led by you all day long?"

“Don’t talk nonsense. I didn’t ask you to play in that game, and it was you who dragged me to buy bread.” Lin Lei touched his nose and propped up his head, looking at the girl’s childish face that showed determination.

The words of an old lynx echoed in his ears: "The earth is not merciful to us because of age, but children are always our unchanging hope, right? So we must move forward... This is the agreement between me and someone..."

"So, Master, what is your job? I don't believe a bounty hunter can eat in a place like this. Also, have you eaten here with that woman?"

“Well, you’ll find out what I do sooner or later... but not now, and it has nothing to do with what you want to do.” Lin Lei said as he picked up the barley tea poured by the waiter and took a sip. Well, the taste is similar in every place.

"And don't order too much, or you'll end up having to pay for it later."

"Do you think I'm you?" The girl snorted twice, then handed the menu she had already drawn to the waiter beside her, and then she asked quietly: "Also, is it really okay for me to come in wearing this? No one wears armor like this in such a high-end restaurant!"

“That’s no big deal. They will respect their guests’ every move, as long as you don’t cause any trouble.” Linley glanced out the window. Behind the trash can, a pair of eyes like a venomous snake were staring at him.

Judging from his clothes and appearance, that guy should be from the Wuzhou League, but he looks... a little weak. In terms of momentum and clothes, he is not as good as Miss Baijin who has been with him every day these days. But forget it, since the girl in front of me is eating happily, I will not bother that guy.

Half an hour later, all the dishes and rice were eaten, and even the dregs of the soup were eaten by the girl. Her cute face suddenly turned into a big clown face. Seeing this, Lin Lei directly took out a tissue and wiped the other party’s face:

"Are you that hungry?"

"It's okay, but I've never eaten anything so good." Flametail said seriously, and her originally white skin was faintly flushed due to the contact between the two: "Then let's go? I hope Xiaohui and the others have recovered."

"I didn't hit you that hard yesterday, did I?"

“Ivona complained to me this morning that her butt hurt. What do you think?” The girl glared at him unhappily, then skipped over to Lin Lei’s front and led the way.

At this time, the Wuzhan League assassin hiding behind the trash can began his report:

"Reporting to the Lord, the target is indeed the 'Flame Tail' Knight. They seem to be heading to the station of the Infected Knight. Should we continue to follow them?"

"No need. Just tell your brothers to avoid bringing bad luck to the Red Pine Knights. Also, report this news to our Platinum Lord." Roy said lazily as he shot an arrow through the heart of a well-known jousting knight.

Then the Qing Jin called another Qing Jin's phone number and said, "It seems that our Drijer has officially started to contact those infected knights. Does this confirm his relationship with Rhodes Island Pharmaceuticals?"

"Also, Roy, I have a feeling that this guy is going to turn the entire Knights' territory upside down." Monique's voice was relatively serious and solemn. "Also, don't call me during work hours unless you have something to do. Has anyone told you that you are annoying?"

037. Becoming a True Warrior (Fourth Update!)

Regardless of whether the two Qingjins were still bickering, at this moment Lin Lei could already sense that the four girls in the audience were ready to kill.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the four members of the Red Pine Knights were all knocked to the ground by the man’s sword made of ice crystals. “Clang!” Linley placed the unsharpened ice crystal sword in the center of the training ground. God knows why this weapon made of ice could make such a heavy sound.

"You two only lasted less than a quarter of an hour together."

The man leaned on the hilt of his sword, still with a casual smile on his face: "If that's all, it shouldn't be a problem for you to get into the top eight or top sixteen from those noble knights, but is that all you want to do?"

“What do you mean by that?” Perhaps because of her superior recovery ability, Ivona, who was also knocked away by Lin Lei’s sword, stood up again with the help of the lance in her hand. Unlike the lance she had used in previous practice, this time she used the lance she was most familiar with.

Both the length and weight were the ones he was most familiar with. "What do you want to say?"

“What I mean is…” Linley once again raised his greatsword to his shoulders and faced Kuranta, who was holding a lance, in the extremely standard German foot-warrior’s posture. “Do you want to be an athlete within the rules and regulations of the Supervisory Commission and the Business Federation, or do you want to be a fighter who breaks and creates rules?”

"That Blood Knight created an opportunity for you infected people to become competitive knights, but I think this is not enough." He hooked his finger, with a hint of expectation and sigh in his eyes: "If you want to realize the equal rights of infected people and non-infected people in Casimir, then you must have the awareness of becoming a warrior.

"We've always had the kind of stuff you're talking about!"

Ivona roared, raised her lance and charged at Linley, just like the Polish cavalry who resolutely charged when facing an armored force. Kuranta's speed gave her a considerable advantage in charging with her lance, but this advantage could not give her any chance of victory in front of the opponent!

"boom!"

Linley then swung his greatsword to block the charging knight. He then used the power of ice shadow to create an identical greatsword and slammed it into Avona’s stomach!

"boom!"

Kuranta, who had longed to become a knight since childhood, turned 720 degrees in the air and fell heavily to the ground. "Really? I can feel that you don't want to lose, but with this level, you can't win."

“Even if the Blue Gold Lord of the No-Head Alliance stood before you, he would not be able to win.” Linley immediately added, “You will not win this war by playing house with other knights in the arena!”

"Dang~"

The man swung the sword in his hand again and knocked away the arrow that had just flown. He looked at the girl from Liberi who was silent most of the time and said, "Are you ready?"

"Yes." Along with Justina's answer, she shot another arrow. The 'bullets' released by the powerful crossbow that was like a sniper rifle were more destructive than most longbows.

But in the team battle just now, the Liberi girl had already understood one thing - the man in front of her was able to catch the arrows she shot. She had shot a total of 14 arrows in the previous battle. Except for the two that were directly chopped away by him, the rest were all dodged by him with his footsteps without exception.

And now the man still had no intention of swinging the sword in his hand, but just kept approaching him with his body movements: "Your timing is good, but it's too slow... Turn your hands into quivers. The more arrows you can hold, the more powerful your firepower will be!"

A minute later, Justina looked at the man standing in front of her and walked down the stage without saying a word: "Should I change back to the traditional longbow?"

“It’s up to you, but a bow like that will require more strength from you, and it will take time to get used to it.” Linley shrugged. “Improve your sense of distance, your reloading technique… There are still many areas where you can improve, right?”

"Well, thank you."

Then she obediently sat next to Ivona who was still rubbing her belly, "Does it still hurt?"

"It hurts, of course it hurts...and why didn't you get hit?" Kuranta asked with a grin as he moved away. "That guy's strength is simply inhuman. He was able to knock me so far away."

"If he had used a chop, you would have died several times." Justina said bluntly, then she hugged her knees and fell silent again. It was obvious that she was thinking about whether there was anything worth improving in her movements.

At this time, Grenadi had already walked to the field carrying her own cannon and shield. "It's my turn. I know one thing very well, Mr. Drijer." The girl said as she raised the cannon in her hand. "There is no such thing as a stop in battle!"

"boom!"

“Oh my god, girl, are you serious? Aren’t you afraid of blowing up your training ground?” Lin Lei’s voice came out slowly from the smoke produced by the explosion, and then he raised his sword and charged towards Huimao.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"
