Ark Journey

"Done, go back to bed."

Xue Zhi shared the location of tonight's accommodation from her clone. At this point, except for the anti-collision lights on the mobile city which were still flashing, the entire city was dark, and those who had not had a good rest in the past few days were all sleeping soundly.

Of course, when he passed by the military camp, which was planned to be converted into a prison, he heard a lot of whispers coming from below, but he was not in the mood to listen carefully because these people could not cause any trouble.

Arriving at her dormitory, Xue Zhi took out the key, which she had obtained through a transfer of the portable warehouse. It was a great thing that the clone could also use the system and the warehouse.

"Have a good sleep, there are still many things to deal with tomorrow..."

He entered the room, locked the door, turned on the light, took off his clothes, and then he saw Alina sitting on the bed.

She was wearing the nightgown he had given her. Her obviously washed hair hung naturally at her side. Her fair feet and half of her slender calves were exposed, reflecting the crystal light.

Honestly speaking, Xue Zhi had fantasized about this kind of scene many times before. After a hard day's work/study, she would return to the dormitory and find a gentle and beautiful girl waiting for her. It was really nice to see this kind of scene.

"...Good evening?"

"It's already early morning, Xue Zhi."

The space inside the room is large, but the decoration is very simple. There is nothing else except a bed, a table, two chairs and a set of sofas. The rest should be left to the staff to match.

It felt a bit wrong to sit on the ground here, and Xue Zhi, who was planning to pull over a chair, saw Alina patting the seat next to her, so he sat over.

Although Alina often fell asleep in Xue Zhi's tent after getting drunk, Xue Zhi never really touched her, at most she just hugged her.

Mainly because Alina gave him a different feeling from W, Xue Zhi exercised some restraint.

When Xue Zhi sat down on the edge of the bed, Alina leaned against him and placed her small hands, which had calluses from sword practice, on the back of his hands that were resting on the bed.

"Don't you want to rest? It's already late."

"waiting for you."

Xue Zhi turned her hand around, held Alina's small hand in hers, and stroked it gently.

This made Alina blush.

"Wait for me? No need to. You've been tired all day. For me, sleep is no longer necessary, but it's different for you. Staying up late is not good for your health."

At present, sleep can only be said to be something that maintains Xue Zhi's humanity. Taking a nap every once in a while can make him feel like a human being.

"I know, I just wanted to talk to you."

Alina leaned on Xue Zhi's shoulder, and then her horn poked Xue Zhi's ear directly.

"..."

Xue Zhi, who had nothing to say, sighed. He put his arms around Alina's waist and used his arms to force her onto his lap.

"ah!"

Alina screamed subconsciously, then quickly covered her mouth.

It would be embarrassing if others heard this.

Their eyes met, and Xue Zhi, who was hugging Alina's waist, laughed.

“I think it’s better to chat this way.”

The pajamas were very thin, although not transparent, but Xue Zhi could still feel the warmth and smoothness of Alina's skin.

Putting her hands on Xue Zhi's shoulders and twisting her waist slightly, Alina said with a slight frown:

"Can't you tell me something?"

"I don't think it's necessary."

Xue Zhi is now starting to let off some steam. After all, it's no big deal if she's a girl who can wait for him late at night in just her pajamas.

Chapter 43: Brother, you smell so good!

Alina sighed softly, her hand on Xue Zhi's chest and whispered:

"I really feel like I'm dreaming right now. I dare not sleep, for fear that when I open my eyes tomorrow I will see the same icy wasteland with the cold wind blowing constantly."

“Even in the moving city, there is a cold wind blowing in the morning.”

Hearing these unromantic words, Alina rolled her eyes at Xue Zhi. He was making jokes again, but she didn't hate it.

But Xue Zhi still had some seriousness in him, and he pulled Alina closer.

"Don't worry. Now that we have conquered this city, it is ours. You don't have to worry about not being able to see it when you wake up tomorrow. As long as I am here, this will never happen."

These words were very crazy, but when Xue Zhi said them, Alina felt that they were very normal. His strength laid a sufficient foundation for his words and deeds.

It was also amazing. After just a few words with Xue Zhi, Alina felt at ease and sleepy. The fatigue from a whole day of fighting began to emerge from her relaxed body.

She gently pushed Xue Zhi's shoulder.

"Well, I'm going back to bed then."

But she didn't push it.

Noticing that the hand on her waist had increased its strength, Alina suddenly thought that Xue Zhi would not let her go back so easily.

【It's not that...】

Xue Zhi looked at Alina's slightly evasive eyes and laughed.

"It's not right to come and go as you please, right, Alina?"

[It’s not impossible. ]

Thinking of this, Alina blushed and tilted her head, pretending to be calm and said:

"It's okay for me to sleep here, but the bed is a little small and can't accommodate the two of us."

The bed was a single bed, and two people could sleep together if they squeezed together, but Alina always slept on her back, and her body did not allow her to sleep on her side. Perhaps there was a bed designed specifically for Elafia, but there was obviously none here.

I really don't know how this race, and those couples with obvious horns, can sleep in the same bed. The intertwined horns will definitely get tangled together if they get close.

But Xue Zhi obviously didn't mean that.

"It's okay, I can sleep somewhere else. Now take off your clothes, you have more wounds on your body."

The leather armor with protection IV could not defend against all attacks. From what the spirit body that had been staying on Alina's shoulder saw, Xue Zhi could be sure that the girl had suffered no less than ten injuries in this battle.

Facing a large number of powerful enemies, she was still a little immature, but her equipment and Originium skills made up for it a lot.

Alina didn't expect Xue Zhi to be thinking about this. Her face instantly turned red, and even her little ears seemed to be dripping with blood.

[Alina, when did you become such a lustful person! ]

After hesitating for a while, she lowered her head and said:

"There's only Tallulah on this floor, so I, I, I didn't wear any underwear when I came here."

Xue Zhi pretended to be stupid.

"Does it matter? If it doesn't work, I'll close my eyes and you can just block it with your arm."

At this time, Xue Zhi's hands had already begun to pull up Alina's nightgown. He knew very well how to take off the clothes he had taken out.

Alina was speechless, and she did not stop Xue Zhi's actions. She even raised her arms to make it easier for Xue Zhi to take off her nightgown.

Xue Zhi did close his eyes. A real man would do what he said.

With her arms bent in front of her chest, Alina, who was only left with one piece of clothing, said softly:

"Okay, open your eyes."

Throwing the warm nightgown aside, Xue Zhi finally opened his eyes. He had not used mental power to scan before, but now that he had finally confirmed Alina's injuries, he frowned and said:

"It's a bit serious, Alina."

There are ten scars of various sizes on her arms, legs, and abdomen. One can imagine how she looked when she was charging at the front.

Alina was very happy to see Xue Zhi worried about her.

"It's not that serious. It's all right now."

Indeed, she had relied on her equipment and Originium skills to rush to the front and suffered many attacks of various kinds.

"Although you're healed, according to some medical theories, injuries can cause loss of energy and blood. I don't want you to suffer from various illnesses in your later years."

Xue Zhi placed his glowing hand on Alina's arm and slid it slowly. Wherever it slid, all the scars disappeared. Unlike the previous times when it was suspended in the air, this time he stuck close to it.

A soft, warm, and extremely smooth feeling came along the palm of her hand, which made Xue Zhi subconsciously increase the strength a little, intending to feel more of that wonderful feeling.

Alina's heartbeat quickened as he caressed her vigorously. Xue Zhi's hand slowly slid down and now reached her flat belly.

Her fatigue was eliminated as well. She had experienced this many times before, but this time it brought her a different kind of comfort, and her body softened involuntarily.

His hands were a little cold, but where they slid was extremely hot. This inexplicable rise in temperature made Alina a little overwhelmed.

"Stand up straight."

Alina was confused and embarrassed, so she couldn't hear Xue Zhi's words clearly, but her body did it subconsciously.

There was a fairly large scar on her waist. Xue Zhi couldn't tell what caused it, so he slowly slid his hand across the ugly mark and smoothed it out.

Alina has a beautiful waist, slender and white. The exercise and adequate nutrition during this period have allowed her to develop shallow abdominal muscles, but because of her slightly higher body fat percentage, she still maintains the unique plump beauty of a woman.

After lingering at the waist for a long time, his hand finally slid to the leg. Although all the scars had been removed, he was reluctant to leave as if he was greedy for such a beautiful thing.

At this moment, Alina was already dizzy from the heat all over her body. Her delicate body, with a faint pink complexion, was swaying. Xue Zhi had to use her hands to hold her up to prevent her from falling.

As the distance got closer, Xue Zhi smelled an indescribable wonderful fragrance. Alina didn't wear any perfume, so perhaps this was the smell of hormones.

The big hands roamed over the plump and white legs, and the pain and numbness caused by the wound being torn and healed mixed into a strange feeling.

Alina, who unconsciously clamped her legs together, suddenly felt her arms feel heavy.

[Why not put it down and let Xue Zhi take care of it? Anyway, it’s not a big deal anyway...]

An idea arose in her mind, but the heavy arm seemed to be completely out of control and unable to move.

[No, no, this is too embarrassing! ]

Soon, this scarred body returned to its original beauty. Xue Zhi's hand had left Alina's thigh and was stroking her back, but the heat he had stimulated still did not dissipate.

"Don't rush forward so much in the future. I'd feel bad if you got hurt like this."

The dizzy Alina did not respond, and she did not even notice that Xue Zhi's arm, which was covering her chest, rubbed her arm a little, revealing a beautiful sight of a faint pink.

The arm fell so easily, as if Alina had been prepared for it, but Xue Zhi did not intend to attack her right away. After all, he had plenty of time and resources...or rather, he had plenty of patience to wait for the deer to walk into the trap.

It is very exciting to see a beautiful girl completely open up her mind and body in front of you.

Chapter 44: Things to do

In the pitch-black morning, Alina was still sleeping soundly in bed. After a tiring day and having waited for Xue Zhi until so late, she needed some time to recover.

Xue Zhi, who had already jumped up on the red bed, floated in the air and quietly went out. Nothing went wrong in the unattended moving city that night. Perhaps his prayers worked.

There was still heavy snow in the sky outside, and Xue Zhi did not stop the effect of this spell. The integrated movement needed some time to adapt, and the huge celestial phenomenon was a good concealment.

The number of drones that had been stationed around the Integration Movement base has now increased to 12, each of which is responsible for monitoring a part of the area outside the mobile city in the wind and snow.

The impact of heavy snow was not that great, except that it was impossible to charge with solar energy, so Xue Zhi's clone had placed charging stations on the city wall early on. Along with these things, Alpha also built a small nest on the roof of his dormitory building.

Arriving at the lower level of the central command tower, Xue Zhi saw Tallulah writing at her desk.

Only the top few floors of this tower are the control center of the mobile city, and the remaining floors are spaces for officials in charge of the city, and have now become offices for the integrated movement.

"Up so early to work?"

"I didn't contribute much yesterday, so I can only make up for it now."

Hearing the voice, Tallulah looked up and smiled at Xue Zhi, then stretched. It seemed that she had been writing for a long time.

"I'm trying to make some laws, or rather some rules and regulations. Do you have any suggestions, Xue Zhi?"

"Laws? Not a bad start, but unfortunately I don't know much about this. There should be relevant information in this city. You might be able to formulate it based on that."

Tallulah pushed a book next to her forward and then sighed.

"I've found it, but I don't think it's very useful. I feel that some of Ursus's systems are unreasonable, but I can't think of how to change them for the time being."

"Don't be in a hurry. It's impossible to achieve success overnight. We still have time to slowly determine these things."

Xue Zhi glanced at what was written in the book and then looked away. He was not interested in these things.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. Would you like a cup of coffee, Tallulah? I see you've been working for a long time."
