Ark Simulator, don't I have no physical form?

“Those lost cities don’t have that much time to wait, and besides… I’ve rested long enough while I was on the spacecraft.”

As Gretia spoke, she approached the troops who were already prepared, where Sikunda was waiting for her.

“I don’t think standing in a corner of an aircraft cabin for hours counts as a rest.”

Suri's rambling made Greta's lips curl up slightly, but she couldn't reply to Suri for the time being, since she had already arrived in front of the prepared troops, and Sikunda had also arrived in front of her.

Although she inevitably had to talk to Suri during the rescue mission, Greta didn't want to have so many people waiting and watching her chat.

Sikunda approached Goredia: "The team you requested is ready. Shall we depart now?"

"Of course, let's leave now. The lost city block can't wait much longer."

Without saying much, Greta looked at the team in front of her and gave them instructions: "Everyone board the warships. We are ready to depart. I will send the course directly to the control console of each ship."

Then, Goredia walked toward the largest of the ships, which was the flagship of their fleet.

As soon as Greta arrived at the flagship's bridge, Su Rui connected the signals of all the ships and marked the locations of the lost but still operational Agor cities on the nautical chart.

Goredia then marked several relatively distant city blocks that were still clustered together: "Our goal is to rescue the city blocks that are about to collapse. Let's go now."

As the command was issued, the fleet set sail. Goredia looked at the sonar and scan results on the ship's screen.

However, looking at these results is not as helpful as looking directly at the scan results displayed by Suri through the goggles, because Suri's results are clearer and more detailed.

"Speaking of which, Agor's technology is developing quite rapidly. Both the buildings in the city and the current fleet are very interesting."

Goredia nodded and replied softly, "But arrogance has also begun to spread, and has led us astray."

"Indeed, if you think about it carefully, you caused the crisis for Haisi, and the result and the order of events are quite funny."

Although Greta did harbor dissatisfaction and blame towards Agor at this moment, she couldn't help but feel some dissatisfaction and doubt after hearing Suri's evaluation.

Noticing Greta's furrowed brow, Suri calmly spoke in her mind:

"Don't be nervous, I'll show you the answer now, and then you'll know."

As Suri's voice came through the earpiece again, Greta saw the whole story.

Suri demonstrated Agor's decision and its consequences:

"The original Sea Sibs were just a group that didn't have any extra activities as long as they maintained their own existence. They were actually cleaning machines left over from the previous civilization. They wouldn't activate on their own unless the time came. But your hunting forced the Sea Sibs to start evolving in order to survive."

Grandia thought for a moment, then asked softly, "What...is the purpose of these cleaning machines?" The question was a bit pointed; Grandia felt that Suri might not answer her, but Suri did anyway:

"Simply put, the Hai Si project is unlikely to be officially launched for at least five or six hundred years, sweeping away all civilizations on the ground and rebuilding the planet's ecology."

To achieve this goal, Haizi must exist before the program is initiated. Agor's hunting affected this crucial factor of existence, which is why Haizi reacted so strongly.

In that light, Agor's situation does seem a little funny. Greta didn't argue; instead, she took a deep breath and said no more.

Volume 6, Chapter 382: Deep Sea Cultists Will Die If They Eat It

The plan to support the lost city block went smoothly. With the scanning charts provided by Su Rui to adjust the course, the fleet led by Goredia did not encounter too many sea monsters.

As the fleet reached the vicinity of the lost city block, it began communicating with the people inside the block.

However, there must be a reason why the city block is out of contact.

Suri's voice rang in Gretia's ear:

"Although Haisi has stopped attacking these city blocks, the signal jamming factors still exist in the cities and are even becoming more complex. So your communication methods are useless. I've connected the signal directly. Also, here are the detailed scan images of these city blocks."

As Suri spoke, she directly displayed the scanned image on the ship channel led by Graceia, showing it on the large screen in Cambridge.

At the same time, there are also communications with the current management departments of these missing city blocks.

Although the other party hadn't answered yet, Greta had already seen the situation and reaction on the other end; that's how unreasonable Suri's abilities were.

The governors in the lost city were somewhat surprised, even more so than delighted, but they quickly re-established communication and began a conversation with Goredia:

"Thank goodness, we haven't received any communication from the outside world for a long time. Since those sea creatures attacked the city, many of our city blocks have been damaged, and the remaining small part has also lost its ability to communicate with the outside world for some reason... May I ask, did the fleet just happen to find us, or did they come here specifically to search for the lost city blocks?"

Suri's voice rang in Greta's ears again: "Look at how anxious and uneasy they are, afraid that you are just passing through and will abandon these city blocks for a more important mission, right?"

Was Skadi communicating with Suri under similar circumstances?

Gladys didn't know how to evaluate it, but she was still in a good mood to hear Suri speaking in her ear.

However, she did not forget to respond to the officials in front of her:

"The fleet is specifically for searching and rescuing lost city blocks. We will take action soon to repair the lost city blocks and connect you with Agor's current city, Milialyum. However... before that, we need to do some checks."

Greta glanced at Suri, whose appearance was only visible through her goggles, and made a request to the governor opposite her:

“I need your cooperation. There may be pollution from Deep Sea Cultists and Sea Heirs in the city. We must eliminate these influences before we can take you back.”

"Of course, of course, these are all necessary procedures. We don't want those sea monsters to run into our city."

The governor opposite nodded hurriedly.

"It's clear they really want to survive. I thought they would be angry and scold you, saying things like, 'Why are you kicking us when we're already in such a bad situation?'"

“They better not,” Gladys said softly, glancing at the images of the Deepsea Cultists’ activity range and the extent of marine contamination that Suri had shown through her goggles.

"What should we do? Just go and clean those areas directly? I think you should have a better plan."

"Of course, there are easier ways to clean up the pollution from the sea, and I also have better ways to clean up those deep-sea cultists. Just follow the plan, and I will make sure it doesn't trigger a stress response from the already stressed residents in the city."

As Suri spoke, she presented the plan to Greta: "However, it's best not to reveal part of this plan. You just need to make the arrangements and let your subordinates carry it out. Knowing too much could have a negative impact on the lifespan of some people."

"You mean you'll assassinate them?" A smile involuntarily crept onto Greta's lips.

"Of course not, I usually let these people die in an accident."

Suri answered casually, and Gladys began to arrange the mission. While the fleet began to move, Suri spread some information in the lost city blocks.

Some things are like chocolate; they'll be fine for humans, but they'll kill a dog.

The same goes for the Deep Sea Cultists. What ordinary residents might not care about, the Deep Sea Cultists will react like a dog whose tail has been stepped on.

As news of Suri spread, through Greta's goggles, she saw some Deepsea Cultists gathering together to discuss the matter.

The sounds of a heated argument were transmitted to Greta's ears through her earphones:

"How can we tolerate those fools cleaning up the city blocks we've worked so hard to build? This place is already ours, and we'll soon have complete control over it, instead of letting Agor's fleet sweep up our achievements!"

"Then what good ideas do you have? This is a fleet, and the number of people in the fleet may be more than the combined population of several of our cities."

"No, Agor certainly doesn't have the resources to send out so many people. It's probably just a small fleet, and we also have the advantage of terrain, so victory isn't out of the question."

Suri's voice came through Greta's earpiece again: "It seems they intend to put up a last-ditch effort, and a direct confrontation at that."

“We need to act quickly, otherwise those rioting Deepsea Cultists might affect the residents of the city.”

The teams that Greta sent out received the message and began to advance toward the location marked by Suri, as planned.

The Deep Sea Cultists began to operate in the city, causing some chaos. In order to gain advantageous positions, they even began to destroy some parts of the city and drive residents out of their homes.

Chaos began to spread throughout the city, and discontent with the Deepsea Cultists was growing.

Meanwhile, the rescue force led by Gladys arrived just in time, arranged by Suri, and encountered all the active Deepsea Cultists, annihilating them all.

A small number of Deepsea Cult members who had refrained from action due to fear were also apprehended after evidence was found against them.

As for the impact of Haisi, it was only a communication disruption, and the Agorians couldn't find a solution, but Su Rui had a more convenient plan.

The battle lasted for several hours, since the troops deployed to the city blocks couldn't move as quickly as Goredia, who was commanding from the bridge.

In terms of mission execution, the operation was a great success because it resolved the issue perfectly within a few hours.

Soon, Greta received a communication from the dispatched team: "Mission complete, the city blocks can now be recovered."

Volume 6, Chapter 383: Suri was in the third row, and Gretia was at work.

“Very good. I will arrange for your ships to escort these lost city blocks back to the vicinity of Miliaruum. You will be responsible for maintaining order within the city blocks.”

Greta made arrangements and issued instructions to the ships that were about to leave the fleet and return to Milaliaum:

"The navigation information you receive is updated in real time, allowing you to avoid the influence of sea monsters as much as possible. Please navigate strictly according to the navigation information, understand?"

Having received an affirmative reply, Goredia nodded and then confirmed the ship's course again.

However, she noticed that Suri seemed a little quiet, as if her attention had been drawn to something or she had been influenced by something.

"Suri? What happened to you?" A sense of worry welled up in Gretia's heart, and she asked softly.

"Um...it's nothing. It's just that, as you know, you've been sailing for several hours, and the rescue mission has been going on for several hours as well. It's getting late, and it's time to rest..."

"Are you tired? I can arrange for the fleet to rest for a while, or you can provide me with intelligence on the next lost territory so we can take action ourselves."

Gladys breathed a sigh of relief and responded to Suri with a light laugh. Not far away, Siquinda glanced at Gladys, her headphones, and her goggles, and thought that Gladys was talking to herself like she was having a fit.

However, considering that she had other things she wanted to talk to Greta about, she decided not to bring it up.

However, Suri's distraction wasn't because of that, but rather: "Actually, it was break time, and I was surrounded by Skadi and Laurentina, um~"

On the other side, Suri was caught in a pincer movement by Skadi and Laurentina and was dragged down onto the bed.

“Agor’s furniture isn’t much different from other places. I know what you’re trying to say, but compared to automated furniture, it just requires you to do a little more manual work.”

Suri reached out and covered Skadi's mouth to stop her from continuing, but two fists can't fight four hands, especially since Skadi and Laurentina were deep-sea hunters.

Grandia noticed the commotion on Suri's side. Suri was being tackled by Laurentina and Skadi, and there were sounds of kissing and tearing. In the distance, Grandia vaguely heard what sounded like tearing.

"...At least, could this sound be muted?"

"Oh, sorry, sorry, I was a little distracted just now. It's easy to get distracted in this kind of situation, you know~"

As Su Rui spoke, she turned off the audio synchronization between the two devices before replying, "Okay, that's fine now. Let's continue. These things won't prevent me from multitasking."

Greta nodded slightly, but involuntarily she thought of Suri, who was currently discussing this matter with her while playing a three-player match with Skadi and Laurentina:

"Are you really okay?"

"If I didn't have a physical body, the influence of emotions wouldn't affect my ability to multitask, but having a physical body does have some impact... However, my other abilities are fine, and the information I need to provide you won't be reduced. Let's continue... But don't you need to rest?"

Suri's voice was still clear, and the information he provided was still as detailed and thorough as ever, but his voice was somewhat intermittent, as if he had to pause for a moment due to some influence.

And that was indeed the case. In order to prevent her body from suffocating, Suri pushed away Laurentina's steamed bun that was pressing on her cheek before she could speak to Greta.

“The fleet operates in its own way, and the crew members work diligently in shifts, so there’s no need to worry about that… By the way, the data analyst that Sikunda is investigating, we’ve reached the location you marked.”

As she spoke, Godia glanced in Sikunda's direction, causing Sikunda to look at her with some confusion: "Ms. Godia, is there something you need?"

"I'm just taking care of some things. You're looking for a missing data analyst, right? I found her drawings here, go take a look."

As she spoke, Greta pointed to the markings on the bridge's large screen.

Xikunda paused for a moment, glanced at the big screen, and was then drawn to the content on it.

After a moment, having memorized the above information, Siquinda looked at Gretia:

"Thank you, Ms. Grace, I'll go investigate right away."

"I will arrange for the fleet to rest and recuperate temporarily until you return with your team. There's no need to rush."

Goredia nodded. That way, the fleet could rest, and Suri wouldn't have to force herself to communicate with her while she was multitasking.

And that was indeed the case. Su Rui said in her ear, "You've arranged things so thoughtfully, thanks. But I'll still keep sending you intelligence, and you can call me anytime if there's any situation."

"Well, have a good rest."

With no one else around, Goredia leaned gently against the bridge, waiting for Sikunda to return with her team, or for Suri to finish her mission and return.

However, it was only then that Greta realized that even after Suri, Skadi, and Laurentina finished their three-person team battle, he would probably still need to sleep, right? In that case, wouldn't the fleet have to continue resting?

Although she knew that it was wrong to exploit Su Rui like this, Gretia still felt a sense of urgency, since it would be better to save those city blocks as soon as possible.

After a slight hesitation, Gladys decided to wait for Suri to contact her. Even if Suri was asleep, she could simply have the fleet rest on the spot.

Anyway, those plots of land shouldn't be unable to hold out even for the last few days. According to Su Rui's analysis, even the plot with the shortest remaining time still has nearly a year left.

With this in mind, Greta didn't say anything more.

However, shortly after Sikunda returned with her troops, looking somewhat dejected, Goredia heard Suri's voice again:

"Hey, I'm back. Skadi and Laurentina are asleep too."

"...Don't you need to sleep?" Gretia glanced at the time. Only four or five hours had passed since the incident with Suri. Suri probably hadn't had time to rest properly.

"Hmm, you know that the physical body is just a container for me. While my body is resting, my mind can be very clear, so let's just set off... Besides, after Skadi and Laurentina's antics, I can't sleep a bit."

If she wanted to rest now, Gretia felt that knowing all this would also keep her awake.
