Ark Journey

Catching the potion floating in front of him, the Patriot nodded.

"it is good."

Seeing that the patriot agreed, Xue Zhi got up and left.

"Okay, it will take some time for the potion to take effect. You two can chat first. I'll go see how their camp is doing."

After Xue Zhi left, the Patriot was silent for a while, then drank the two tubes of potion together. In an instant, the dim red light in the antler helmet became exceptionally bright.

On the other side, the team that had already set up camp started to cook, but it was obvious that the food they ate was not very good. They were obviously a combat unit but they only had some staple foods to eat, which were not even as good as the food of the Hedley Mercenaries.

But it's normal. The Hedley Mercenaries are one of the best in Kazdel. They are not short of money and can buy all kinds of things. Besides, it is a tropical place and the resources there are also rich.

Xue Zhi exchanged out more than a dozen boxes of collective self-heating food and distributed them in front of the campfire of each team according to the number of people.

"Everyone, try these."

After that, he started the operation, unpacking the box, taking water, filling it with water, shaking it, and it started to smoke naturally. That was it.

"Wait 20 minutes and you can eat it. You can deal with the rest the same way I just did."

After getting a few boxes, Xue Zhi left this sentence and went back to look for the patriot.

The Yeti and the Shield Squad, who were stuffed with a lot of things, looked at each other in bewilderment.

"This...should we eat it or not?"

"I do not know."

"I think it's okay to eat it. After all, Daddy didn't say anything."

"Why don't you wait and try it? It'll only take 20 minutes anyway."

"Then try it."

However, a few educated people in the team noticed some clues.

"Why are there Yan country characters on it?"

"A Yan countryman from Kazdel? Why is he so weird?"

"Forget it, as long as Daddy doesn't say anything."

"alright."

On the other side, when Xue Zhi found the Patriot, he had already taken off the heavy device behind him that was used to assist breathing.

[Is this right? A strong warrior has to fight with something like this on his back. It really insults the dignity of a warrior.]

Chapter 4: Exchanging Information

As he approached, he could see from Xue Zhi's direction that Aiguo and Shuangxing, father and daughter, were chatting, but Shuangxing had already noticed him.

"Dad, he's back."

After learning that they would not be disturbed, Xue Zhi approached and said, "How do you feel? Patriot."

Hearing Xue Zhi's voice, Patriot turned around. His voice was still a little strange and not very continuous, but it was much stronger than before: "Very good, I haven't felt this way for decades."

The big hand covered with metal armor clenched into a fist. After getting rid of the interference of the Originium, abundant power surged from his body, making him feel like he was back to his youth.

The Sarkaz are all very resilient, and their age is not a problem at all. The half-blood Tracys is over 200 years old and still alive and kicking. The group of Lords of the Royal Court are even more heavyweights. The Patriot, who was a pure-blooded Wendigo, died so early simply because his oripathy was too severe. At the end of Che City, the Patriot was basically a human-shaped Originium that moved by will.

Sitting cross-legged in front of the patriot, Xue Zhi asked:

"That's good, what do you want to ask?"

"Kazdel, how is it?"

Although they did not respond to the call to return, Kazdel is the hometown of all Sarkaz after all.

"The civil war is over, Theresa was assassinated, Babel Tower was disintegrated, Theresis integrated the power of Kazdel and prepared to march to Londinium... I think you should also know Kal'tsit. She reorganized a new organization with some members of Babel Tower. It is currently called Rhodes Island. On the surface, this organization is a medical company, but in fact it is Babel Tower's exiled government."

Xue Zhi told everything directly. For someone like Patriot, there was nothing that needed to be hidden.

And one more thing that can be inferred is that the people sent by Teresis have not arrived here yet, otherwise the patriots would not ask him.

Each of these pieces of news was a bombshell. The Patriot was silent for a long time before continuing to ask:

"Inhibitor, developed by Rhodes Island?"

As if unwilling to continue talking about his still-decayed hometown and the ongoing war, he changed the subject.

"No, they have just been established and do not have such strong R&D and mass production capabilities."

"That is?"

"Let's keep it secret for now."

Xue Zhi did not make up a random story this time, because he felt that he could not fool the two-hundred-year-old man in front of him.

This directly silenced the patriots.

"..."

Seeing that he didn't say anything else, Xue Zhi took the initiative:

"Are you done asking questions? I also have something I want to ask."

But it was Frost Star who answered him.

"What do you want to know?"

Xue Zhi thought about it and asked the question that he was most concerned about at the moment:

"Alina, how is she doing?"

Frost Star didn't understand why he knew and asked about Alina's recent situation, and he became a little alert.

But since her father didn't say anything, she finally answered the question.

"she's fine."

Xue Zhi heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this answer. With this girl around, the chances of the integration movement going astray would be much smaller. He then turned his questioning to the patriots. The questions he wanted to ask might only be answered by the patriots.

"That's a good thing. Patriot, what do you think of Tallulah? Or do you think there's anything wrong with Tallulah?"

Shuang Xing, who was listening at the side, became even more alert. Although she was very grateful to Xue Zhi for saving them, this person knew too much and gave her a very obscure and completely unfathomable feeling.

The Patriot's eyes lit up.

"...No need to hide, young man, I will tell you the answer."

"Then let me be frank. Do you feel that there is another consciousness hidden in Tallulah's body?"

[What is he talking about? Is there another consciousness hidden in Tallulah's body? ]

"Why do you know so much?"

The Patriot's answer basically acknowledged Xue Zhi's question. He did feel that something was wrong with Tallulah, but the feeling was very vague. After all, the Wendigo was not a Sarkaz who was proficient in spiritual power.

[It seems that the Patriots do know, so if I want to deal with the Black Snake consciousness, I will have supporters. ]

Although Xue Zhi could do all these things alone, he would rather give the power of choice to the person involved.

"There are always some secrets in this land, or you can think of me as a Cyclops."

"Cyclops, I haven't seen one in a long time."

"There are always inhuman things that need to be resisted, and the powerful Sarkaz are the best choice. Unfortunately, most people don't know their contributions."

When Xue Zhi said the inhuman things, the red light in Patriot's eyes reached its peak, which reminded him of the monsters he had fought against when he was young.

Moreover, Xue Zhi's words also appealed to patriots. Some soldiers value honor and recognition from others the most.

"I need to get to know you again."

Xue Zhi didn't say anything else, but raised her hand to catch the falling Alpha. It was already very late, and it was time for dinner.

"There will be a time, patriot."

Just when he was about to prepare something to eat, Frost Star at the side looked at him and spoke. There was vigilance and scrutiny in his eyes, but not too much.

"Thank you for saving me before, but I'm curious, who are you?"

Xue Zhi comforted the hungry Alpha before saying:

"An ordinary person with some ideas, and I just happen to have the power to try them out."

"Is this so..."

Seeing that Frost Star stopped talking, Xue Zhi started to feed Alpha. It was indeed difficult to find prey in the ice and snow. Even owls, which had a high success rate in hunting, would return empty-handed.

"You two, would you like something to eat? I have a lot of food here."

Shuangxing swallowed her saliva at the meat that Xue Zhi took out to feed the birds, left after saying a few words.

"Thank you for your kindness. I'll go back to the Yeti Squad first."

Xue Zhi didn't force it.

"Okay, Patriot, do you mind if I sit here for a while?"

"Ah."

When Frost Star returned to the team camp, he found that everyone was holding a paper box and eating voraciously.

The collective banquet food that Xue Zhi had just put out has been heated up. Although this kind of food, which is concentrated with a lot of technology to provide calories, is not very popular in the East University army with a kitchen team, it is already the ultimate delicacy for the young boys of the Integration Movement who are hungry and full, not to mention that the population living in Ursus is already heavy.

Seeing Frost Star coming, a snow monster quickly put down the half-eaten lunch box in his hand and picked up another one.

"Big sister, come and try it, we have reserved a portion specially for you."

After taking the paper box, Frost Star noticed the exceptionally rich food inside. There was even a delicious soup cooking in the pot on the fire.

"Where did these come from?"

"It was given to me by the guy who saved us before. His name was...what was his name?"

"Xue Zhi."

"Oh, that's what he gave it to. Every team, even the shield guard has one."

"alright."

Chapter 5: A Small Misunderstanding

The next morning, the entire team set out again to the current base of the Integration Movement. It was a sunny day with no interference from wind and snow, but the strong reflection of the snow became another problem.

Xue Zhi is at the front of the team and is currently following behind the Patriot.

There was no way. He was not familiar with the others and he also saw Frost Star's vigilance. These silent shield guards and Sarkaz patriots still made Xue Zhi feel a little familiar.

Xue Zhi felt the pad vibrate, took it out, glanced at the screen and said:

"At one o'clock, less than one kilometer away, there are 53 people wearing the same grey uniform."

Alpha, which took off early, has already begun reconnaissance.

The patriots paid no attention to this small and fragile group of enemies.

Soon, they met, and in a very short time, the Ursus army was completely wiped out.

Xue Zhi, who did not take any action throughout the whole process, watched them killing people indiscriminately, and kept sighing at the horror of the Wendigo. The sight of one knife cutting a kid was really terrifying, and any attack from the enemy had no effect on him except for some sparks.

"Wendigo is really a numerical freak."

Thick armor, sharp sword, and great strength are enough.

While Xue Zhi was watching the show, the Snow Monster Team, which was a little behind, caught up, and at the same time, Frost Star's voice came from behind.

"what are you saying?"

Xue Zhi didn't look back, but just looked at the patriot who was shaking off the blood on his weapon and said:

"I'm praising your father. I met a Wendigo in Kazdel. Although he was a mixed-blood, I was deeply impressed by the strength of this race."

Upon hearing that it was a member of his father's tribe, Frost Star became obviously interested.

She walked to Xue Zhi and asked curiously:

"What about him now?"

"I killed him a long time ago."
