Arknights, Suika's Messenger Journey

"Wait, what did you say the new mine owner's name was?"

"Matt Simpson. A member of the Simpson family, and currently the most outstanding member of his branch. He is highly regarded by the elders, which is why he was able to become the leader of a mine before the age of thirty-five."

After the other party finished speaking, Suika immediately said

"He's only been here a couple of days, hasn't he? And he has a wife, three sons, and a daughter?"

"How do you know?" The man was also surprised after Suika finished speaking.

Suika touched her nose and said, "Okay, it's an acquaintance.

Didn’t I mention before that I got a ride in RIM Billiton? I took their car and we didn’t get along until we reached Iron Carrot City.”

"Haha, this is such a coincidence, Ms. Suixiang." After hearing what Suixiang said, the messenger of natural disasters burst into laughter.

"By the way, after talking for so long, I still don't know your name?" Suixiang looked at the man.

"As for me, my name is a bit long. Well, you can just call me George. Of course, you can also call me 'the guy who goes out for adventure' like my friends," George said with a smile.

Suixiang nodded. She had seen the other party say this in the interesting news of RemBitto.

Because the Carters are very fertile, a family can be quite large as long as it survives.

In a poor and remote environment like Rem Billiton, most people are not well educated and only know a few words and names. So if you call a name in a family, more than a dozen people with the same name may appear at once.

And because there are so many people, I can't remember the names of other family members at all.

So most of them like to call people by "nicknames", just like the one in front of them. Because he is a messenger of natural disasters and may often go out alone, he is called 'the guy who goes out for adventure'.

Someone was washed up into the sky by a geyser while taking a bath, so he was called the "Flying Water Man", and an old chef who was good at flipping pancakes with both hands was called "holding two pots".

This situation is very common among them.

However, as an outsider, Suixiang still chose to call him George.

The next morning, the two of them headed south together.

On the way, George was still introducing the mine to Suika.

With his introduction, Suixiang learned that this platform and mining area belonged entirely to the Simpson family.

Everyone in the mine, from top to bottom, believed Simpson.

Each mine owner is appointed by the elders after the previous one leaves office.

It can be said to be a complete family business.

"Um, so you're a Simpson too?"

Suika looked at George.

“I’m not, but my wife is.

I was born into a small family, but because of some things I left the family and came to the Simpson family.

Fortunately, I met my wife. With her encouragement, I learned knowledge and finally embarked on the path of the Messenger of Scourge.

It can be said that everything I do is inseparable from the Simpson family and my wife, so I am now the family's natural disaster messenger, specifically serving the family's several mining areas."

George said very frankly.

"That's not bad. I think the job of a Messenger of Disaster has a pretty high status in RemBit." Suika said after thinking about what happened in the last mobile block.

"That's right, because of the frequent natural disasters in RemBitto, there is a huge demand for natural disaster messengers.

This also makes the Scourge Messenger's status here relatively high.

But at the same time, the danger here is also greater than other places. As far as I know, among my colleagues in Rim Billiton, several natural disaster messengers die in natural disasters every year."

Although George's words sounded dangerous, his tone never showed any hesitation or retreat. One could sense that he enjoyed and loved this job.

When it was already dark, the two men arrived outside the Simpson family's block.

Just as she was about to go in, Suika glanced at the horizon and pulled George back.

"What?" George asked.

Suika pointed to the sky to the south. It was dark at that time and the vision was limited. In addition, the bright lights in the block attracted almost everyone's attention, so even if George looked in the direction Suika pointed, he didn't find anything.

"Look at the clouds in the sky. Their folded shape... looks very similar to the scourge clouds I know."

Suika's expression was a little serious.

Hearing Suika's words, George immediately held his breath and looked towards the south.

Soon he could see clearly the cloud layer that Suika was talking about.

At this time, the clouds have not yet fully formed and appear a bit thin, so most people would probably ignore them.

That is, the Messenger of Scourge will pay attention when he sees clouds of this special shape.

George made a quick judgment

"It is indeed a natural disaster cloud that is forming. Based on its size and location, a small natural disaster will occur in the area five to ten kilometers to the south.

The exact time cannot be determined yet, but the distance is too close. If the disaster were to shift or expand into a medium or large-scale natural disaster, it would easily affect the mines here. The mobile block must be evacuated at least 20 kilometers to the north."

George, a local and messenger of natural disasters, said this and hurried towards the mobile block.

"There are telephones inside the block, and there are several other mines and villages around. We must contact them immediately for evacuation and relocation."

Suixiang followed him and walked quickly to the entrance.

As they arrived at the door, the guard saw the two of them and was about to greet George in front of him.

He shouted solemnly, "Please inform the owner of Matt Mine. I'm waiting for him in my office. This is a natural disaster, Category II emergency."

Hearing George's words, the guards at the door quickly opened the gate and let the two into the city.

Then Suika saw someone running quickly towards the center of the town.

George took her to an office not far from the entrance and exit.

After entering, Suika glanced around the room. There were many books and equipment in it, and there was a piece of paper in front of the phone George was using, with phone numbers written all over it.

Chapter 500 This is 250 times 2

While Suika was looking around the room, George had already picked up the phone and started looking for someone.

As he made one call after another, Suika couldn't help but admire him.

Natural disasters are hazards that can cause panic anywhere.

In the face of this danger, George's actions seemed so orderly.

After a while, the door was pushed open again.

Matt walked in and was about to speak when he saw Suika sitting next to him with a strange smile.

……

Matt smiled awkwardly when he saw Suika, and seeing that George was still on the phone, he sat next to her.

"I'm sorry I didn't tell you my identity on the way."

Suika shook her head

"I figured it out when I heard George talking about you guys on the road just now.

In RIM Billiton, those who can afford off-road vehicles are not ordinary people.

And your children have been well-educated, obviously not from the public schools of big families.

Moreover, your skin and nails, whether it is you or your wife, are not like those of miners who work underground all year round.

Not catching these exceptions was my problem.

Overall, I interact with people too little.

I learned a lot from it.”

Matt felt even more embarrassed after hearing what Suika said.

At this point George hung up the phone

“I have already informed my colleagues nearby, and we will all work together to observe this natural disaster.

Tribes and mobile blocks that are close together will begin to move under the cover of night.

Iron Carrot City will also arrange for people to come and provide support."

"Didn't you say that according to your experience this was just a minor natural disaster? Why would it cause such a big commotion?"

Suika asked, raising her hand after George finished speaking.

“Because this is Rembilt, a place with the largest Originium vein in all of Terra and the worst natural disaster environment.

Although the current observations are small, no one can guarantee that the natural disasters will not change as time goes by and the activity of Originium increases.

We have paid a heavy price for our contempt countless times.

Therefore, there will be no ambiguity in natural disaster warnings.”

George answered seriously.

"One more thing, I just looked at the approximate scope of this natural disaster that you drew.

Here, according to the exploration team's calculations, the closest point of the underground mineral vein is less than 300 meters from the surface."

Matt pointed to a place in the middle of the circle drawn by George on the map and said.

"Didn't you just get here?" Suika was a little surprised.

Matt said with some pride

"Before coming here, I read all the exploration data the exploration team had collected about this area over the past ten years and wrote it all down."

"Brilliant!"

Suika gave a thumbs-up.

She can never compare to this kind of academic master without relying on cheats.

After the three of them discussed it, George prepared to go to the rooftop to continue observing the natural disaster.

After all, as far as we can see now, this is the early stages of natural disasters, and there is still some time before the growth and outbreak stages.

The changes in weather and other factors during this period are very worthy of study.

Matt looked at Suika

"Miss Suixiang, why don't you stay at my house for a while?

My daughter Lainie misses you very much."

Suika nodded, "Okay."

Although Matt's family concealed their identities from him on the road, he also hid a lot of things.

Besides, it would be foolish to be open with your heart to a stranger you have just met.

Especially for someone like Matt, there must be people who are jealous of him being a mine owner.

If I were in your shoes, for the safety of my family, I would not accept anyone on the road.

But in fact, they even took me along the way.

If I had malicious intentions, this family would have died in some desolate wilderness.

So it can be seen that their family are all good people.

Suika also likes to deal with good people.

Naturally, I wouldn't refuse Matt's invitation.

Matt was relieved when he saw Suika agreed.

He seemed very happy to see that Suika didn't blame him for her and her group's concealment.

After saying goodbye to George, the two went to his home here.

"Little Lainie, look who Daddy brought!"

Matt said to Lainie who trotted over as soon as they entered the door.

When Lainie saw Suika behind Matt, she screamed and then rushed over to hug Suika's neck.

"Suixiang sister, mua~"
