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

Suri and Myrtle have no shortage of rewards, but playing shooting games with the little car and shooting each other with water guns is still a lot of fun.

So Suri and Myrtle had a great time, until things started to get a little strange.

Even Hong Xue, who was lying on a recliner not far away, noticed something was amiss. She sat up, placed her hand on the heavy crossbow, and looked at the small carts with some confusion.

At first, the water guns were fixed with simple brackets, and the number of easy-to-deal-with vehicles gradually decreased, replaced by some more powerful vehicles.

Not only has the water gun on the cart become more powerful, but the bracket that holds the water gun in place has also been changed from a bracket that allows the water gun to be easily removed to a fixed platform that integrates the water gun and the cart.

Even the car's performance was improved, becoming exceptionally sturdy and fast, so much so that many unsuspecting Dulin people were caught off guard and were sprayed away by the high-pressure water guns.

Something seems off.

Myrtle noticed this too, but because of the playful banter, she and Su Rui had grown apart and couldn't reunite immediately.

But the cars in front of us have appeared in droves, and their sheer number and imposing presence clearly indicate that this is no longer just a game.

Su Rui opened her scanning field of vision and found that in addition to the water gun trucks responsible for repelling the enemy, there were many other trucks responsible for dismantling and transferring supplies. Also, the water trucks that originally looked like they had been repelled had been converted into automated trucks for dismantling and loading cargo.

After a brief investigation, Su Rui discovered that it was the work of another designer. It seems that after the failure of the first drone project, another designer found what she considered to be a better solution.

A swarm of small cars is indeed much more efficient than a single flying drone. However, perhaps because the drone was attacked before, the second designer seems to have misunderstood something.

She seems to intend to use forceful means to demolish these buildings, and once the deed is done, the people of Dulin will have no choice but to relocate.

Suri passed this information to Myrtle, who immediately exclaimed in dissatisfaction, "Isn't this idea a bit too extreme?"

That was indeed extreme, and because Myrtle shouted so loudly, she attracted the attention of the cars and was blasted away by their high-pressure water cannons.

'Suri~ I got blasted away!'

Myrtle was rendered speechless by the water cannons. She lay on the beach and struggled to her feet. With the help of Suri's scanning vision, she jumped up and down to escape the water cannon attacks from the little cars.

"I see. Looks like you won't be able to get any closer to me for the time being. By the way, you'd better switch to a more powerful weapon, because these little cars, aside from not being designed to be lethal, are specifically designed to drive away and dismantle amusement park rides."

Suri was speechless: 'Why did they prioritize dismantling the dome or the amusement park rides? Logically, shouldn't the Durin people prefer the amusement park rides, so shouldn't they dismantle the other living facilities first?'

'Perhaps designers think differently from ordinary Durinians?'

Myrtle dodged the water cannons from the toy cars, and at Suri's prompting, she picked up a shovel that seemed to be used by some children to shovel sand, and swung it down hard at one of the toy cars that was relatively close by.

The cart's designer only intended to scare away the Dulins playing by the pool, not to actually harm them. So when Myrtle's shovel landed on the cart, the attack was effective; the cart wasn't strong enough to be indestructible.

The edge of the shovel severed the muzzle of the water cannon. Myrtle gripped the shovel in her hand and shouted, rallying the Dulins, who were staggering and fleeing in all directions under the onslaught of the water cannon:

"Fellow countrymen! To protect our paradise, for our summer, let us not retreat an inch! We can defeat them!"

Myrtle suddenly gained a strange charisma. Under her call, the Dulins, who had been disoriented by the water cannons, also picked up their weapons and began to destroy the carts in front of them.

However, the sheer number and quality of the vehicles were so high that the designers operating them seemed to have noticed them. As a result, some of the water trucks that were originally just watching started moving, and the high-pressure water cannons swept away large numbers of the Dulin people.

Despite having Suri's scanning vision assistance, Myrtle was still somewhat embarrassed when dodging the water cannons.

'Suri, do you know what's going on here?'

"Hmm, it seems those two designers have some unconventional ideas. They've both decided to start dismantling the most eye-catching facilities first. I know its exact location, and also where the control center for these little cars is. Shall we go together?"

"No, I want to stay here and protect this water park, all the slides and other attractions. I want to play on them later, and I can't let the little cars tear them all down! Suri, is there anything you can do to help me?"

"Of course, I've already activated those big metal swimming coaches. You can use those metal figures as cover and use them to launch a counterattack against those small cars."

As Suri spoke, she marked different units in Myrtle's field of vision:

'The red ones are the enemy's vehicles, and the blue ones are your own units. Different shapes represent different units. It should be very simple and easy to understand. Quickly lead your team to complete this defensive battle!'

"Alright! Then General Myrtle will wage a magnificent defensive battle here! This is to protect our pool park! It will be called..."

'Let's call it the Battle of Poolgrad!'

'Alright! Let's call it the Battle of Poolgrad!'

Although Myrtle didn't know what the word meant, she just needed a name. After the tin men around her gradually formed a human wall, Myrtle called out to the Dulins who had returned to the "front lines".

"My fellow countrymen, pick up your weapons, shovels, water guns, or whatever else you can, and for the sake of our pool, we cannot back down an inch!"

"Oh!!!!"

The Dulins suddenly became excited, and amidst cheers, the battle resumed.

Su Rui then looked at Hong Xue, who was not far away and had her hand on her heavy crossbow. Seeing that Dulin and the carts were fighting each other and it was not easy for her to fire, she moved closer to Hong Xue.

"Then I'll leave the pool area to you. I'll try to figure out how to dismantle the control terminal behind it."

Okay, please!

It seems like Volume 8, Chapter 499, is about to be discovered.

Hongxue was still watching the Dulins and the cars fighting amongst themselves, unsure whether it was a game or an accident similar to the one involving the drones.

Su Rui came to her side and gently patted Hong Xue's waist. There was no way Su Rui could pat Hong Xue's shoulder, as Du Lin was not tall enough.

"Huh?! Suri, do you know what's going on here?"

Hongxue, caught in a dilemma, was first startled by the sensation on her waist. She turned her head and saw that it was Su Rui before she breathed a sigh of relief with a slight blush on her cheeks.

"It's very simple. Remember the crisis I told you about the Dulin Underground City that it was facing?"

As Su Rui spoke, she took Hong Xue's wrist, gesturing for her to follow.

Hongxue subconsciously followed Su Rui's movements and took a step, then nodded: "I know, could this be something like the drone incident from before?"

“That’s right.” Suri nodded.

"The designers had their own ideas and thought that the decision-makers in the dungeon were reacting too slowly, so the two of them decided to find a way to act first. After the first one failed, the second one has now taken up her mantle and started again."

"I didn't expect it to be like this." Hongxue nodded with a complicated expression, then looked at Su Rui, who was holding her wrist: "But Su Rui, how did you know?"

“I am very good at electronics, so I found the clues by investigating the signals of those cars.”

As Su Rui spoke, she took out her phone and showed Hong Xue the complex string of characters on it, as if she were showing off.

In reality, these were just shown to Hongxue, since Su Rui didn't need to use a phone at all; he could directly find the person behind it.

Sensing Hongxue's surprised yet admiring gaze, Su Rui smiled smugly, put her phone back in her pocket, and then pulled Hongxue's hand to continue walking forward.

“We need to shut down the terminal that controls the car. Attacking it electronically is too complicated. Now that I’ve located it, I might as well eliminate it physically.”

That's obviously false, but if Suri just sat there doing nothing and solved the problem, the adventure wouldn't feel like an adventure at all.

"Won't Myrtle be in danger? And what about those Dulins? These little carts don't seem easy to deal with."

Hongxue stayed close to Su Rui, reluctant to let Su Rui release her wrist, so she could only hold her heavy crossbow in one hand.

Fortunately, thanks to the skills of the Dulins, the heavy crossbow in her hands was easy to operate, and she didn't need to worry about cocking it.

Su Rui pulled Hong Xue's wrist, avoiding the cars' path, and walked towards the back of the shopping street:

"The designer herself didn't actually intend to actually do it. She just wanted to drive away the Dulins who were playing on the beach. The car's weapons were all high-pressure water cannons, which would at most make the Dulins fall and get bumps all over their heads."

As Su Rui spoke, she pointed to a building not far away: "What we're looking for is the control terminal in that building. You can see that the cars also come out of the garage below that building."

Hongxue nodded: "How do we get in?"

"We just need to avoid the cars coming out of the garage. I see that there is no more information being input from the outside into the terminal. The designer has probably already hidden himself. So all we need to do is break in and turn off the terminal."

Su Rui looked down at her phone, pretended to glance at the constantly flashing code on the screen, and then nodded to Hong Xue:

"However, I noticed that there seem to be some individual network nodes inside that building, which may be some traps that we need to deal with when we go in."

Hongxue nodded and grabbed Su Rui's wrist: "In that case, let's hurry up. If we're late, the slides and playground equipment next to the beach might be dismantled."

"Okay, let's go!" Su Rui nodded, and was about to run with Hong Xue when Hong Xue picked him up and put the heavy crossbow in his arms, and then ran with Su Rui and the crossbow.

However, even while running, Hongxue's crossbow was still aimed ahead, constantly alert to any danger that might appear in her field of vision.

Soon, the pink-clad Luper girl, carrying Suri, took off running towards the building with her long, white legs. Suri held her phone in her hand, displaying her scanned view on the screen.

Although Hongxue, who was running, probably didn't have the mind to look at the information on Su Rui's phone, at least this way, Hongxue wouldn't doubt the source of Su Rui's information.

"Don't go through the front door yet. The window next to it is unlocked, so you can climb over it. There's a small trap behind that door."

Hongxue nodded. Although she was holding Su Rui, it didn't affect her movements. The pink wolf girl nimbly leaped onto the windowsill with Su Rui in her arms.

Hongxue gently lifted her fair, jade-like foot, pushed open the closed window, and then carried Su Rui through the window into the building.

"Okay, you can put me down now."

Su Rui struggled in Hong Xue's arms for a moment, and she couldn't help but show a somewhat hesitant expression. In the end, Hong Xue still complied with Su Rui's request, took the heavy crossbow from Su Rui's arms, and then gently supported Su Rui with her thighs and put her on the ground.

The gate she had just intended to pass through was right in front of her. Hongxue glanced at it and then noticed the high-pressure water cannon placed behind it. As long as the gate was opened, the water cannon would be triggered, blasting the person who opened the gate away. It was a very simple but effective little trap.

If I had opened the door while holding Suri, I might have been thrown away by the high-pressure water cannon because I couldn't dodge in time.

A feeling of relief flashed through Hongxue's mind, along with a hint of dissatisfaction towards the trap's creator.

After removing the pull rope on the door used to trigger the water cannon, Su Rui looked at Hong Xue and said, "Let's go. The main event is coming up. That designer really values ​​his design. The control terminal seems to be in the server room downstairs. There seem to be a lot of traps there."

Hongxue nodded: "It's alright, no matter how many traps there are, we have a way to solve them."

"That's right, this way."

Su Rui tapped on her phone and led Hong Xue along a somewhat complicated route to the server room below.

At this moment, Myrtle also received reinforcements from Dulin. Anaconda, riding the Great Ugly, and Gavial, wielding a chainsaw axe, charged out. They seemed to have noticed Myrtle as well.

Volume 8, Chapter 500: Don't stand so high~

"Suri, what should I do? I saw the anaconda and the others! Is there any way to make them not notice me?"

"There's no way to do that." Suri couldn't help but chuckle after noticing Myrtle's state.

'I do have an idea, but I don't think the valiant General Myrtle would want to desert, would she?'

"Of course! Even if I'm caught and punished by the anacondas after being discovered, I will protect this beach and pool. This is my Great General Myrtle's Battle to Defend Pool Geller!"

Encouraged by Suri, Myrtle straightened her back and waved to the anaconda and Gavial, who had already noticed her not far away:

"Hey! Come quick and help! Break those big waterwheels! That way we can hold our line!"

Both Shrike and Gavial looked at Myrtle with some confusion. Although Myrtle was also a Durin, they recognized this Durin girl who was also a Rhodes Island operator.

"Although I'd love to ask you what you're doing here, let's talk about that later."

As the anaconda spoke, it manipulated its massive weapon, simultaneously firing at different targets with chainsaw swords in its hands, laser cannons on its shoulders, and floating cannons that had appeared in mid-air at its waist.

With the help of the anaconda and Gavial, Myrtle's battle line quickly stabilized, and some of the Dulin even found opportunities to charge at the carts.

Of course, the favorable battle situation couldn't mask Myrtle's anxiety about being held accountable after the victory, so she kept a close watch on the situation using the scanning vision provided by Suri.

Whenever she gets a chance, once the little cars are destroyed, Myrtle will slip away immediately, not giving the anaconda and Gavial a chance to ask her questions.

Meanwhile, after taking a detour, Su Rui arrived at the door of the room where the terminal was located.

However, to get inside, Su Rui and Hong Xue still need to pass through a corridor, which contains some traps.

As always, it's not fatal, but getting hit by it will still leave you in a sorry state.

Su Rui reached out and pulled Hong Xue back, who was about to rush over, and reminded her:

"Don't rush, wait for me, I should be able to remove these traps."

As Su Rui spoke, she scanned the corridor ahead with her phone and then began operating it in front of Hong Xue.

However, Hongxue was already getting impatient. She slung the heavy crossbow over her back and looked at Su Rui, who had noticed her movement and looked up at her.

"Time doesn't allow us to do that. If we're too late, the amusement park might already be demolished."

"The anaconda and the others are helping out at the amusement park, and besides, it's just an amusement park, there's no need to make such a mess of things, is there?" Su Rui put down her phone with a hint of helplessness, looking into Hong Xue's eyes:

"I can get these things done in just a few minutes, are you sure you don't want to wait a little longer?"

"These traps will only make me look a little more awkward, won't they?"

Hongxue winked at Su Rui, who didn't argue but said, "Then at least let me check what those traps are before you rush in blindly... Wait a minute!"

As Su Rui was saying these words, Hong Xue rushed out, clearly unable to wait any longer.

However, there will be a water cannon attack with a huge range ahead, and even if Hongxue runs very fast, she will still be hit.

Somewhat helpless, Su Rui put her phone into her system space as Hong Xue launched her sprint, and then pounced on Hong Xue.

Although Dulin's strength was somewhat inferior to Luper's, he was still able to tackle Hongxue, who was in a charging stance, by being caught off guard and by having Su Rui pounce on Hongxue's lower back.

"Su Rui?!" Hong Xue exclaimed in surprise as Su Rui tackled her from behind.
