Ark Journey

Then he turned back to Kosice and said:

"Duke, maybe I can make Ursus great again without using your methods."

"...I await the day when you will make it a reality."

Kosice bowed slightly to greet the emperor.

He admired the young emperor's courage to make changes, but was unwilling to believe that his methods could be used because the resistance was too great.

And he himself doesn't care about any thoughts or ideas, he only cares about whether Ursus can become strong again. This is the fate of the Ursus god.

Perhaps in the near future, there will be many conflicts between him and the emperor.

Chapter 21: The Last Stand of Ursus

Since the explosion, Xue Zhi has never encountered anyone trying to hinder him.

Perhaps the people in power in Ursus were frightened. After all, something of this level could even destroy a mobile city.

He has now arrived at the city closest to the Wuyan border and is making final repairs.

In the hotel, Xue Zhi read some news reports about the incident he caused.

The details were vague, only saying that a natural disaster had caused the huge explosion and the ongoing pollution.

The people believed it very much and praised the government and the military for their quick response.

“Nice way of handling it.”

Putting down the phone, Xue Zhi began to think about the other impacts of this incident.

This is like a nuclear deterrent. The Integration Movement should be much safer because the Ursus government cannot determine whether they still have such weapons.

It would be great if we could really push them into a corner and find a city to detonate it.

The downside is that high-end combat forces like the Internal Guard may frequently appear next to the Integration Movement, and only they can detect the existence of such weapons quietly.

"Oh, I hope Tallulah and the others are okay."

Late in the night, Xue Zhi was awakened by a noisy sound outside.

Just when he thought it was a fight between drunken Ursus gangsters, one word made him fully sober.

"Catch that infected!"

With the idea of "I don't want to watch the bastards when there's fun to be had", Xue Zhi released her mental power while jumping out of bed and putting on her clothes.

"There are infected people in this city? Then I have to go and get involved. I didn't expect that there would be such a good show in Ursus' last stop. It's really worth the trip."

After opening the window and flying out silently, Xue Zhi flew towards the infected person discovered by her mental power.

There were two half-grown boys and a group of Ursus policemen chasing them. It looked like they had taken something, and no one knew whether they had bought it or stolen it.

Not long after they ran, the two were chased by the police into an alley, and at the end of the alley was a dead end.

The younger boy asked breathlessly:

"Brother, what should we do?"

Listening to the footsteps approaching like drumbeats, the boy who was asked thought for a few seconds and then took off his bag.

Then a little bit of frost appeared on his hands.

"I will use the Originium technique to create an opportunity for you. When the time comes, just run! Don't look back!"

The young boy wanted to say something else, but was interrupted.

"Big brother..."

"Stop talking. You called me Big Brother, so I will let you live. Remember, everyone needs these medicines!"

Thinking of his companions in the shelter who were waiting for life-saving medicine, he could only suppress the grief in his heart and nodded in agreement.

However, after waiting for a long time, they did not see the police, but saw a man older than them slowly appear.

"Good evening, both of you. Don't worry about those policemen. I've already dealt with them."

"What!?"

Both of them couldn't believe it. There were at least a dozen policemen chasing them just now, although they could no longer hear any footsteps.

Xue Zhi, who had just knocked out the policemen one by one, rolled up her sleeves to reveal a large simulated Originium crystal.

"I'm also infected, so I can't bear to see you being caught and thrown into the mine."

Faced with this situation, the two teenagers on the opposite side gave completely different, yet expected, reactions.

"It's great that you are also infected..."

"How do I know if you're a dog of the government? Do you want to get in among us and wipe us out? "

Faced with this almost unsolvable greeting, Xue Zhi had no good solution.

He spread his hands and said:

"I can't answer this question, but what you have in your hands should be medicine. However, I see that many of them are expired. Maybe your companions are in urgent need of them, right?"

The older boy instantly stood in front of another person. Many of those medicines were indeed expired. Those infected people had no good channels to get normal medicines, so they could only look for them in the black market or black clinics.

"What!? How did you know that!?"

Xue Zhi smiled and said:

"Because I'm very strong, I can see it. Also, I have a lot of intact medicines here. Do you want some?"

"What's the price?"

"It doesn't cost anything, just let me go over to your place and take a look."

These words made the older boy, who had just calmed down, excited again, and the frost on his hands that had not dissipated showed signs of becoming restless.

"So you still want to know where our shelter is, right?!"

Faced with this situation, Xue Zhi could only sigh.

"Alas, being cautious is a good thing, but being suspicious is not. With someone like you, I really don't know how your infected organization is going to recruit new members. Besides, if you waste one more second with me here, your companions will be saved one second later. And even if you don't take me with you, I can still find your shelter by secretly following you."

Xue Zhi chose to put it directly and clearly.

The blunt words left the older, but still young, boy speechless.

"Brother, let him come with you. I'm afraid the child can't hold on."

"But...well, okay, let's go."

Seeing that he finally compromised, Xue Zhi laughed.

Then he followed the two men to a place outside the city.

When they walked out of the alley, they saw the policeman lying on the ground.

"Are they all dead?"

"No, I just fainted."

The older boy spoke with hatred, as if he had some grudge against these policemen.

"Why don't you kill them?"

Xue Zhi shook her head.

"Because there's no need. Once someone dies, things will become serious. Do you want to conduct a city-wide search?"

The older teen was speechless.

In fact, Xue Zhi not only knocked them out, but also left heating devices around them. God knows how efficient the police in this city are. If these people are found frozen to death in the alley tomorrow, the infected people who are being hunted down will never be able to clear themselves of guilt even if they jump into the Yellow River.

After twists and turns, they arrived at the back door of a house and looked around furtively before going in.

Xue Zhi looked around and saw that this place seemed to be a supermarket selling cigarettes and alcohol. She didn't expect that this was actually a shelter for a group of infected people.

After arriving here, both teenagers breathed a sigh of relief.

"Huh, we're finally home."

"What about the rest?"

Now that they had come this far, there was no need to say anything more, so the two of them led Xue Zhi to the side room, and then opened a hidden mechanism leading to the basement.

"Underground? Not bad."

"Come with us."

The two walked in front. The stairs leading to the basement were dark, but they seemed to be used to it and knew how to get there.

Chapter 22: Departure

After walking for a while, I opened another door and the inside suddenly became bright, with warm lights illuminating the room.

An old man noticed the two brothers first, and then saw Xue Zhi who followed them in.

"Kids, you're back. Who is this?"

They wanted to introduce him, but they found out they didn’t know Xue Zhi’s name yet and could only say that he helped them.

"He is... the one who helped us, and he is also infected."

Seeing this, Xue Zhi gave her own name.

"Xue Zhi."

While the other side was observing him, he was also observing the other side.

The old man's back was a little hunched, and the Originium was not exposed on his body.

There were four or five other people in the room, both men and women. Some could directly see the Originium on the body surface, while others could not. They all looked at Xue Zhi's arrival with curiosity and caution.

"Yan people?"

"almost."

The elders were somewhat puzzled.

"I remember that Yan Country has a good attitude towards the infected. Why did you come to Ursus?"

After a brief explanation, Xue Zhi took the initiative to mention the purpose of coming here.

"I'm traveling. Let's not talk about this, old man. I heard that there are patients here. I have some useful medicines on hand. May I take a look?"

The elder stared at Xue Zhi for a while, then turned around and said:

"Come with me, kind young man."

In the room inside, Xue Zhi saw a little girl who was probably only ** years old lying on a bed.

Her young face was full of pain, and beads of sweat the size of beans covered her forehead. Even if there was someone helping to wipe them off, it was of no use.

Xue Zhi, who had seen many cases of oripathy, immediately realized that this was a complication caused by oripathy, so she took out a tube of purifying water.

It doesn't matter if it's just a simple cold and fever. The purifying water will only process the Originium in her body. If it doesn't work, she can use other general potions.

"Old man, she has a fever caused by mineral sickness. This potion of mine can suppress it."

"Give it to her. I chose to trust you since I asked you to come here."

After the purifying water was injected into the girl's body, her painful expression improved visibly, and her burning forehead showed signs of cooling down.

The old man and the person in charge of taking care of the girl were very excited. They had tried various methods before but failed to lower her body temperature. But now, one injection had an immediate effect.

"It works!"

After leaving the space to the girl, the old man took Xue Zhi out.

"Go outside, young man."

"Ah."

Seeing the old man come out, a group of people surrounded him.

"Grandpa Gris, how is Alin doing!?"

"Don't worry, this young man's medicine is very effective."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and the older boy took the initiative to apologize to Xue Zhi.
