"Then do you know how I felt after it was done?"
"It's loneliness. Isn't it funny?"
Roxanne chuckled to herself and said, "Although the past me is dead, that period was also my life, the place where I spent my entire life. But that life disappeared so abruptly, without even a trace left. It really feels inexplicably absurd, doesn't it? But I have no choice but to accept it."
"And only after that did I become the boss of Hedonia, and have been clearing out the dark side of the Ark, eliminating those crazy gangs and terrorists."
"Why are you telling me this?"
"Nothing special, that phone is for you."
Roxanne pointed at the snake and said, "Take it."
"I don't need your sympathy."
The venomous snake pouted and said unhappily.
"Sympathy? This is not sympathy. I am not as compassionate as you are, sir."
Roxanne scoffed and said cheerfully, "I just knew you were desperately trying to survive, so I decided to help you."
"Kindness without a price is rare in the underworld, isn't it?"
"..."
"You are so rich, why don't you use a better mobile phone?"
After listening to Roxanne's story, Viper smiled and teased her.
She knew that she had misunderstood Rosanna, and Rosanna had also misunderstood her, but since Rosanna was willing to swallow her pride and apologize and reconcile, the Viper would naturally comply with her wishes.
Seeing that she had opened up, Roxanne couldn't help but laugh and tease back, "Stop nagging. It's good enough that you have something useful. Why are you still being so picky?"
Seeing the ice between the two of them melt, Green breathed a sigh of relief.
He also has a headache about women quarreling.
Fortunately, Rosanna and Viper are both reasonable people. Since they can handle this problem themselves, he just needs to go with the flow.
"Roxanna, I'm sorry for the expense this time. Now I have the custody of Vipers and Jackals. When I return, I'll buy you a new phone as compensation for your loss."
"Hmm? That's very generous of you, sir. But I don't really like the cell phone. Can you replace it with something else?"
Roxanne raised her eyebrows, revealing a hint of teasing: "You know what I like."
"Let's talk about it when we have time."
"And, the venomous snake."
Green glanced at Viper, then gently stroked her slightly messy hair.
"I've already told you that since you're under my supervision, you should tell me everything about your life without fail."
"If your cell phone is old, you should replace it. If you run out of clothes, you should buy some. Don't worry about bothering me or getting angry with you over such a small matter. Since you are already a part of the outpost, it is my responsibility as the commander to take care of you. The same goes for the other Nikkis."
"When we get back, I'll take you shopping. If you like any phone or clothes, go pick them out yourself. If you have any needs for food or clothes, just tell me. I'm not short of money."
"Oh, dear..."
The venomous snake blinked in disbelief, its eyes still brimming with tears.
Clearly, she was heartbroken like a loser last night, but now, she felt like she was dreaming.
This is probably what life’s ups and downs are like, right?
She was standing there in a daze, looking shy and a little bit happy.
Green couldn't help but jokingly said, "What? You don't want me to take you shopping? Then I'll just take someone else with me."
The venomous snake leaned against his chest and acted coquettishly: "As long as my dear is willing, I will do anything~"
"Then go and write my combat reports from the past few days. There are probably more than forty pages left."
"Eh?"
Looking at the venomous snake's expression that suddenly froze.
Roxanne and Green looked at each other and finally couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Chapter 230: Commander? Rabi.
Seeing that Viper and Roxanne had reconciled, Green no longer intervened in the conflicts between them.
While the Praise has not arrived yet, he plans to continue his journey around the island and explore the island's development potential. If possible, he can find an excuse to ask the Ark for it.
Although Ark's superiors would most likely not agree.
But if they were really crushed by Letcher to the point of being at the end of their rope, who would still care about their orders?
You have to leave yourself a way out.
If the situation changes one day, he can take Nikki with him and retreat from the Ark to a safe place.
Green came to the beach alone.
On the shore, Anis and Lapi were standing side by side, seemingly admiring the sea, while Nian was sitting in a hammock beside them, and Lao Shen was wiping her water gun leisurely.
"Lavi, you've been squatting here for almost two hours. What are you waiting for?"
Anis was also bored. She had just gotten up when she saw Lapi squatting here. After breakfast, Lapi was still staring at the sea motionlessly, as if something in the deep sea was attracting her.
"I'm watching."
Rabi stared at the sea motionlessly for a moment before she replied silently.
"What are you monitoring?"
"Hmm...something from the sea."
"Eh? Something from the sea? Could it be a Kraken? But as long as we don't provoke it, it won't come out at all, right?"
"Be quiet, Anis."
Rabbi made a hush gesture, then pricked up her ears and listened attentively to the chirping sounds coming from the sea.
Sure enough...that voice was the pink dolphin!
Wow!
A pink dolphin jumped out of the sea, creating a beautiful wave.
Rabi quickly took out a pen and paper from her bosom and wrote down the wish she had thought of long ago on the paper.
Seeing her hurriedly working, Anis came over and said, "Ravi, what are you writing? Let me see."
"Commander? La..."
"I haven't written anything."
Rabi coughed, quickly put the note in his hand away, stuffed it into a bottle, and then threw it into the sea.
The waves surged, washing away the bottle with the wish written on it.
Rabi stared at the sea motionlessly, with a thoughtful expression on his face.
Will it really come true?
Maybe... there will always be a day.
"Lavi, Anis."
"What are you doing here?"
"Ah, it's you, Commander. Rabbi and I were just sitting by the sea, doing nothing."
"Don't be dazed. I'm going to take some more people to survey the interior of the island today. I'll also dig a well to ensure fresh water. Bring the tools and call Nian along. Let's go."
"learn."
After packing their luggage, Green took Rabi and the other two and headed deep into the jungle. He also brought Rita along and asked her to help dig a well in an area with groundwater.
"I have to say, this lake is quite large."
"And it's on the sea, which makes it even rarer. Logically speaking, such a small island wouldn't form a lake. At most, there would only be a few small puddles."
"It's so rare to find such a precious piece of land. We really found a treasure, little brats."
Rita came over carrying a bunch of tools for digging wells. After walking around the lake, she chose a place with groundwater and started digging a well.
Of course, as a professional, she refused everyone's help and told Lavi and the others to go wherever they wanted. Their staying here would only hinder Rita's work.
"Commander, what should we do next?"
"Well... let's have lunch first. After lunch, we'll go for a walk around the area, explore the island, and take some photos as a souvenir."
"It's a rare trip to the island, but it's a bit unreasonable not to take a few photos to commemorate it."
"What, you want to take a picture?"
When Anis heard she was going to take a photo, she quickly touched her cheek and said, "I didn't sleep well last night, and now my face seems a little swollen. This is ruined!"
"Hmm? That's just your illusion, isn't it, Anis?"
Nian looked Anis up and down, but said with some confusion: "You look pretty good to me. If I must say... you seem a little fatter than before?"
"Huh? I gained weight?"
Anis was startled.
Although she is Nikki, she is not the Nikki after the ninth generation of Ark.
Starting from the ninth generation of Nikki, their bodies are fixed and there is no room for growth. In other words, as long as they are not injured, they can always maintain the most perfect body shape.
But it was different for Nikki before the ninth generation.
For example, Anis, if she eats too much she will gain weight, and if she eats too little she will become thinner, so Anis has always paid attention to her figure.
But as Nian said, she did gain a little weight during this vacation on the island.
Anis gently pinched her belly and found that there were indeed some signs of fat.
She also took the opportunity to weigh Nikki, who she was carrying with her, on the scale. Looking at the three-digit number on the scale, Anis quickly put it away with a serious look on her face.
"It's over. I've really gained weight."
"Maybe I ate too much meat and barbecue these days, so I became like this."
Anis sighed, and after much reflection, she immediately made a painful decision: "I've decided. Starting today, I'm going to lose weight!"
"In my opinion, people who loudly say they want to lose weight generally don't end up losing it."
Green laughed and joked.
It was lunch time, so he picked up some firewood and built a small fire by the lake.
Although they brought a lot of food from the Ark, how could those pre-prepared foods and canned foods compare to freshly roasted tender meat?
"On the way here, I caught a few hares."
"These rabbits are quite big. I don't know what breed they are, but if they taste good, we can catch a few and take them back to study them to see if we can generate some income for the outpost."
Green sat in the shade of a tree, skillfully took out his skinning knife, cut off the hare's fur, and then divided the tender meat stained with blood into several pieces. After washing the surface with lake water, he put it on the campfire and started cooking.
Long-term ground combat has made Green a master of survival in the wild. Although he rarely makes a fire on the ground, who doesn't want to have a hot meal if given the chance?
"Speaking of which, Master, I have a question."
Nian stared at the barbecue sizzling on the campfire and suddenly asked a question.
"Just ask."
"The Ark's underground is so large, it should be able to raise a lot of chickens, ducks, fish and cattle. Why is the meat in the Ark so expensive?"
"Well..."
Green thought about it, but he wasn't particularly sure about the answer to this question.
But Rabbi should know, right?
He glanced at Rabi, and after Rabi exchanged glances with him, he understood what he meant.
She coughed lightly and then explained to everyone, "Why is Ark's meat so expensive? I know some inside information."
"Besides the well-known reasons of resource scarcity, limited soil, and the need to prevent the spread of disease, the main reason is the Ark's animal and plant associations. These organizations and companies have monopolized the production and sale of meat products, and they rely on this business to continuously and maliciously raise prices."
