Ark Journey

Just now he killed many wild beasts that rushed towards him with bared fangs and saved the messenger from the attack.

The further south you go, the higher the temperature becomes and the more living things you can see.

The arrival of the Messenger of Scourge caused some villagers to panic. There was no way around it, as the arrival of the Messenger of Scourge usually did not bring good things.

Because of this, some areas even associate the Messenger of the Scourge with disasters.

Fortunately, the villagers here did not show similar anti-intellectual behavior as on Earth, such as refusing to leave. After all, there is no use in being a rogue in the face of a natural disaster.

"Sir, could you please help escort them to a safe place? I just checked and there aren't many young men among them. They may not be able to face those violent beasts alone."

"Okay, just leave it to me."

The Scourge Messenger breathed a sigh of relief. The organization was short of staff, and there were several villages within the scope of the Scourge, so they couldn't send enough people to assist in the evacuation. Moreover, the army didn't know what actions they were taking recently, so they couldn't spare many people either.

The villagers acted quickly. As a settlement that could not be moved, they had already prepared for natural disasters and knew exactly what to bring and what not to bring.

A few minutes later, the adults gathered at the entrance of the village, carrying their luggage and holding their children.

The Messenger of Scourge made simple arrangements for these people.

"The beasts outside are very agitated because of the natural disaster. The man is outside protecting others. This one is here to help. He will also protect you."

Seeing that the villagers did as they were told, the Disaster Messenger took them to the designated evacuation point.

Xue Zhi turned into four after shaking her body.

Seeing the villagers' surprised faces, the original body smiled.

"It's just an Originium technique, don't take it too seriously. There are too many of you, and if there aren't more of us, we won't be able to protect you."

The main body stayed at the end of the team, while the rest came to the front and left and right positions respectively.

Just a few meters away from the village, you can hear all kinds of restless sounds in the forest.

Some children shrank into their mothers' arms out of fear, while the men held weapons such as pitchforks and machetes tightly.

There was a commotion in the bushes beside the road, and the next second, several half-human-high fanged beasts rushed out.

The fishy smell and ferocious appearance made the people on the outermost side feel weak in the legs and sweaty in the palms. Only a few hunters and village militia raised their crossbows and shot at them.

Chapter 16: The matter is over and I am leaving

The three fang beasts were shot into sieves in a blink of an eye. Even though their eyes were red and they were very angry, they could not extend their lives for even one more minute.

Xue Zhi did not take action. These villagers were capable of dealing with beasts of this level.

There are not many wild beasts rushing out to attack people now, and there is still time to recover the precious arrows, but it is hard to say what will happen later.

After dealing with the first wave of attacks, the villagers gained more confidence and everyone quickened their pace.

It was still early, but the sky was a little dark and windy.

The temperature, which had been acceptable, suddenly began to drop.

Xue Zhi, who had experienced several natural disasters, felt that this was not a good sign.

So the clone walking in front whispered to the Messenger of Scourge.

"Speed up, I don't feel good."

"understood."

The Scourge Messenger also nodded seriously.

"Everyone, we need to move faster."

No one questioned this decision because the current weather conditions were really not very good.

Xue Zhi took out an Originium radiation monitoring device. The value displayed on it was still within the safe range, but there was no guarantee that the value would explode in the next second.

There was some commotion on the right side of the team, and a beast with a source stone on its shoulder suddenly rushed out from the woods over there.

The crowd exclaimed and stepped back.

Faced with the retreating humans, the Rift Beast ran towards this side as if its hunting instinct was aroused, its red eyes filled with deadly savagery.

No one dared to provoke such a beast head-on. Even if they avoided the attack, once they were infected with oripathy, it would be the beginning of a nightmare.

"Keep calm, don't panic, be careful of accidents."

Xue Zhi's calm voice sounded, and at the same time, a bolt of lightning flew out from the palm of his hand and electrocuted the beast that was running towards this side into charcoal.

The villagers calmed down by their powerful ability to kill such a beast instantly.

But looking at the still smoking corpse of the Rift Beast, Xue Zhi frowned. Those Originium stones were the signs of a natural disaster. She didn't know if the concentration of Originium in some place nearby suddenly increased, causing the beast to be infected.

The clone who also shared this information informed the Messenger of the Scourge of the specific details.

"Has the Originium pierced the body?"

Although he did not see it with his own eyes, the Messenger of Natural Disaster believed Xue Zhi's words very much.

"Yes, and very violent."

As she spoke, Xue Zhi waved her hand and threw a few ice spikes at the bushes in front of her.

The sound of heavy objects falling to the ground and the howling of wild beasts were heard immediately.

"This is very bad. The natural disaster may come early, but..."

The Scourge Messenger looked back as he spoke. The villagers who were carrying a lot of things had already increased their speed to the fastest. Their bodies were not very strong and they could not walk too fast.

Xue Zhi was very calm at this moment.

"If all else fails, you can throw away some things. As long as you're still alive, there's still hope."

"It can only be the."

A group of people were moving through the woods, and Xue Zhi's frequency of attacking became more and more frequent. The surrounding wild beasts were almost rioting, killing each other regardless of race. The winner would usually shift his attention to the couple and then be killed by Xue Zhi.

On the left side of the team, Xue Zhi had just dealt with several large Originium bugs.

An older man beside him breathed a sigh of relief and said gratefully:

"Young man, you are such a good person. Without you, we would have been eaten by these beasts halfway."

Xue Zhi, who had killed countless people in Ursus, heard for the first time that someone outside the Reunion Movement referred to themselves as a "good person".

"Uncle, I..."

Xue Zhi didn't know what to say. She couldn't just tell him that she was almost a terrorist at this national level, right?

"Forget it, you're right, I'm a good person."

The villagers began to discard things and they realized something was wrong.

And snow began to fall from the sky. When the first snowflake fell, Xue Zhi subconsciously looked at the instrument at hand, and the values on it did not fluctuate much.

"We still have some time."

Finally, in the afternoon, the villagers arrived at the designated resettlement site safely.

Xue Zhi discovered that there were already people here, and they had set up tents and bonfires, and some soldiers were moving among the crowd.

He took out a piece of cloth and covered his face to prevent being recognized by the soldiers. This outfit would not arouse suspicion because many people would wear this kind of thing to keep warm and resist the erosion of Originium.

"Sir, thank you so much for your help this time. If it weren't for you, I can't imagine how many people would have died on the road."

"Ah."

Xue Zhi nodded without saying anything more.

The Messenger of Natural Disaster continued:

"I have memorized the number on your medal. When this incident is over, I will report it to the organization and record your contribution."

"This is good."

Perhaps I could improve my treatment in the Scourge Messenger Agency. In Terra, I would have to communicate with these people in the future. The higher my reputation with them, the better.

Seeing that the villagers had been settled, Xue Zhi quietly left. In the distance, a natural disaster was falling, and some Originium crystals were forming out of thin air on the ground with the help of the sudden increase in the Originium concentration in the air.

When heading towards the disaster area, there were companions around. A high-speed warship with obvious modifications was launching detection equipment in the direction of the disaster.

Xue Zhi dodged so that they wouldn't notice that someone was moving towards the center of the disaster area without any protection.

If someone really saw it, the discovery might be even more serious than the commotion he had caused before.

In the core of the disaster zone, huge crystal columns have begun to form.

Xue Zhi pulled out his mining tools and started to work. The Originium snowflakes falling from the sky had no effect on him.

This place is very peaceful, with no creatures or strange things disturbing it.

He stopped when he had collected about 10 million points. Points were important, but enough was enough.

After carefully walking out of the disaster area from another direction, Xue Zhi left the ground again and started flying.

This unexpected natural disaster disrupted many arrangements.

The Ursus military learned of Xue Zhi's location and was heading this way when they were blocked by a natural disaster, so a large amount of equipment had to take a detour.

"Damn it, at this time."

The highest commander of the operation slammed the handrail hard on the bridge of a flagship.

The successive losses of warships made His Majesty the Emperor very disappointed in him. If this operation failed again, he might be pulled down by those below who were keeping an eye on his position.

Thinking of this, the officer suddenly shuddered.

"No, we have to speed up..."

He is now going to give it a try.

"Send out a reconnaissance ship to detect the Originium concentration in the disaster area ahead. Once it meets the protection requirements of the warship, we will directly transfer it over!"

"Yes!"

Chapter 17: Storm is coming

It is a sunny day today. The natural disaster that occurred nearby yesterday seemed to have drained all the moisture in the vicinity, revealing the clear blue sky.

Xue Zhi was flying almost close to the ground. His intuition was so strong that it was almost like a premonition, and he felt that something was about to happen.

"The sky is clear and the air is bright, which is very suitable for various observation methods to be effective."

It was obvious that Ursus was preparing to deal with him.

But now he can still see many vehicles on the road, it seems to be a transportation route.

As long as these cars are there, Ursus should not act rashly, otherwise some preparations will be needed.

Just as he thought, the further he flew, the fewer vehicles there were on the road, until eventually the originally busy route was reduced to just dense ruts on the ground.

"Is it coming?"

Xue Zhi didn't make much movement. He just sent out his mental power to observe the surroundings.

There was nothing around at the moment, but the attack range of modern weapons was several kilometers or even dozens of kilometers, so they didn't have to risk being destroyed by getting close to Xue Zhi's face.

The sound of rotating blades suddenly rang out. Looking in the direction of the sound, he "saw" several large drones flying in the sky behind him, and the observation equipment equipped on them kept changing the focal length.

Xue Zhi pretended that he saw nothing and continued to fly forward. Later, other units were included in his perception range.

Judging from the outline drawn by mental power, it was a group of soldiers carrying huge equipment, but the appearance and the degree of energy reaction inside them did not seem like weapons.

What’s interesting is that when Xue Zhi shifted her gaze over there, she didn’t notice those people. After focusing her gaze, she could only see a vague outline.

"Oh my goodness, it's optical camouflage!?"

Terra's technological strength once again shocked Xue Zhi. Although they could not go to the sky, the level of development of other technologies was very high.

As the range of his spiritual perception expanded, Xue Zhi discovered several such teams around him setting up the equipment on their backs on the ground.

"Could this be the foundation of a great country? I am really amazing that they value me so much."

As someone from Earth, Xue Zhi certainly knew that this group of people were directing the artillery fire, but he didn't intend to do anything.

Because he felt that the big guns in this world could not hurt him, and if he was not in a good mood today, all those flying in the sky and running on the ground would have been buried by him.

If you look at me again, I’ll poke your eyes out!

This is arrogance at its purest.
