Arknights? Colonization Ark!

Chapter 63: The Goods Are Too Pure

Theresa watched the trucks deliver load after load of building panel modules, unload them onto the freshly poured hardened ground, and then turn back.

Some people have moved to Bengbu.

Such a large convoy, with so much supplies, Bozhukas said that they had only prepared it today. If she knew that the other party was not lying to her, she would have thought that these people had prepared all this a long time ago, just waiting for her and Tracys to start a war.

A standardized temporary field hospital was built right in front of everyone at a speed visible to the naked eye, and it was still being expanded.

Then it was immediately filled with a large number of injured people.

Although this decisive battle was a hasty one for Theresa, the total number of people fighting on both sides reached tens of thousands.

At first glance, they may not seem like many people, but these people are all elite Sarkaz with rich combat experience. They would definitely be considered an iron army that has experienced many battles in any country. With a little arming, they would become an elite division.

As a result, the battle lasted less than an hour, and even with the intervention of Bozhukas, the death toll alone was two to three thousand, and the injured accounted for 70% of the total number of people, of course, most of them were frostbite.

Those ice blocks that were chiseled off to save people disappeared along with the icebergs that had not been completely destroyed not long after they fell to the ground. Some people who had not been rescued fell directly to the ground, and there was not even a trace of water stains where the ice blocks disappeared. This is the fucking Originium!

"The medicine has arrived, come and help."

"Hurry up and get some medical glue."

"Hemostatic agent, spray it on his wound!"

"Don't move, I made the wrong piercing again!"

.....

All kinds of sounds echoed in the hospital. One seriously injured person after another was sent to the makeshift operating table. With the help of medical equipment, their wounds were sutured or their broken limbs were reattached. Artificial plasma was almost in short supply.

For the sake of efficiency, they were too lazy to calculate the dosage of anesthetic and simply gave each person a shot. The injured person would pass out within a few seconds, and then after completing the operation within ten minutes, they would immediately be replaced by the next one.

Huafarin was lying on the hospital bed, her chest wrapped almost like a mummy. Her chest, which was not very visible to begin with, was now flattened. Her fair skin became as pale as wallpaper because of the injury.

A large number of wounded patients were crowded together, and the whole hospital was filled with a strong smell of blood. Staying here was simply torture for the Blood Demon.

And for some reason, the smell of blood here was so tempting. Just by smelling it, she felt like she was floating.

Warfarin, who could no longer bear it, reached out and grabbed the skirt of a passing nurse, pointing at a box of blood bags in her hands.

"Please, can you give me a pack to try?"

"ah!!"

The nurse who was grabbed was startled, and the hair on her tail stood up. She was just a Fellin. Her grandmother told her that the Sarkaz were man-eating monsters, and that they were all dragged here by the others this time.

"You...are you talking about this?"

She hurriedly took out a bag of artificial plasma from the box. With the introduction of the bracelet, she roughly knew what race Warfarin was.

only...

"This is artificial blood. Are you sure you can drink it?"

She asked cautiously, fearing that Huafalin would suddenly jump up and grab her and eat her as food.

"Artificial blood? Impossible!"

She also studied medicine and had tasted artificial plasma before. How could ketchup taste like this?

This is simply!

It's just like the blood on that guy.

Seeing Huafarin struggling desperately on the bed like a zombie, with two sharp canine teeth exposed in her mouth, the already frightened girl Filin was so frightened that she was at a loss what to do. She quickly took out several packets of plasma from the box and threw them on Huafarin's chest.

"Ah!! Here you go! Please don't eat me."

Warfarin gritted his teeth in pain when the blood bag hit his wound, and then he let go of his hand. The nurse who broke free from his restraints quickly ran away.

Taking the plasma strip in his hand, Warfarin carefully put it to his nose and sniffed it.

You can't go wrong, although the taste is much lighter, the difference is not huge.

With an evil smile on his face, Huafalin felt a sense of pleasure as he got something without any effort.

Jie Jie Jie Jie!

That old woman refused to let herself taste the doctor's blood no matter what, but now she has gotten it, hasn't she?

Thinking of this, she put the blood bag under her nose again.

Well~~

This taste is so pure.

Just when Huafarin wanted to open the bag and enjoy this long-awaited delicacy.

The duck that was about to be eaten flew away. A hand quickly snatched the blood bag from her mouth, and she opened her mouth to bite into empty space. The sharp canine teeth almost pierced her tongue. She covered her mouth in pain and glared at the guy who snatched the food from her mouth.

Ah!

It's Kelsey.

That's fine.

Huafalin's originally arrogant look immediately softened.

"Hey~~Kal'tsit, why are you here too?"

Kal'tsit looked at this tough guy with a headache. She was also bumped into by a panicked nurse on the road. After asking carefully, she found out that a blood demon had stolen the plasma.

Feeling something was wrong, she came over immediately, and it turned out to be this guy.

"I heard that some people were looting medical supplies here, so I came to take a look."

There are a lot of people guarding the hospital. They are deployed with a large number of security personnel because they are afraid that some Sarkaz may cause trouble.

“Nonsense! This is what the nurse gave me. Give it back to me quickly. I’m almost starving to death. I’m the one who saved Theresa. Can’t I drink some artificial blood to replenish my body?

Oh~~ I get it, you are afraid that I will take your throne, so you come here to make things difficult for me!"

Huafarin became more and more excited as he spoke, and secretly stuffed the remaining packets of plasma into the quilt.

"What's so special about this blood?"

Kal'tsit was used to this guy's crazy behavior, she was just curious. Warfarin should have a strong control over blood. Apart from the doctor's blood, which had an irresistible attraction to her, she would not even look twice at other people's blood even if it was placed in front of her.

It’s a pity that Kal’tsit is not a blood demon, and you can’t smell anything special just by smelling it.

"Who knows? I can't help myself just by smelling it."

Her answer made Kal'tsit frown. Fortunately, there were not many blood demons this time, and only one, Warfarin, was seriously injured. In order not to take up space, the other lightly injured soldiers were resting in a temporary tent in the distance.

This matter must be clarified, and we must also control those blood demons and keep them away from the hospital, otherwise something serious will happen.

"Have you finished asking questions? If you have, give me the blood bag quickly!"

As Huafalin spoke, she swung her limbs in a rogue manner, like a child lying on the ground and acting coquettishly.

No. 64: Rebuilding Kazdel

At this time in Rhodes Island, the situation was completely different.

There were several corpses piled at the door of the monitoring room where the doctor was originally staying. Most of them were people who sneaked in to carry out assassinations during the chaos. He himself had already left there with Amiya.

After making sure that everyone else in the conference room had left, there were only three people left in the bright room. Sitting in front of a square table, the doctor looked at the Wendigo opposite him that was half a body taller than a normal person.

"Bozhukas, right? We are your prisoners now. What are you going to do with us?"

Some things cannot be said openly. Given the nature of the Sarkaz, it is impossible for them to surrender. They will never surrender in this lifetime. The only way they can survive is to perish together.

If you really let those Sarkaz outside be your prisoners, Theresa's prestige will immediately drop to freezing point, and the Tower of Babel built in the past will collapse in an instant, even if you vote for Wendigo.

Not to mention that the person who replaced Bozhukas was no longer Kazdel, so the situation outside was still a mess. Most people didn't know what was going on. The people of Tracys didn't even know whose prisoners they were.

"Your Highness, this was indeed an accident. We did not expect the situation in Kazdel to deteriorate so quickly. I made this decision out of desperation."

Bozhukas was also helpless as this operation had gone beyond the original plan.

"I am willing to believe you, Bozhuocasti. I know that Kazdel is still in your heart, but now it has developed to the current situation. There is not much point in saying anything else."

Theresa, who was sitting in her seat, spoke in a soft voice. She had changed out of her clothes that were somewhat torn from the previous battle, and there was no trace of her fierce demeanor from the battlefield just now.

The old relationship between the two cannot change the current situation.

Bozhukas had a headache about what to do. The doctor's words were undoubtedly a test, and he couldn't really take them as prisoners.

Moreover, he had no right to deal with prisoners.

“Your Highness, why don’t we do this for now? The civil war in Kazdel is over now, and you still have a lot of things to do. During this period of time, you should first recover the entire territory of Kazdel and resume production. The specific matters can be decided after he arrives here.”

he?

When Theresa came back from Kal'tsit, she was very curious about the man who could build a city in the North by himself.

Strength and wealth alone are not enough to win Bozhukas' loyalty.

"Didn't he come with you?"

"He has indeed come, but not with us. He arrived at Longmen first, then arrived in Kazdel, and is now traveling in Kazdel."

For Zhang Miao, no matter what other people said, he would not be so foolish as to choose a partner whom he had never even met.

Moreover, Bozhukasti's narration and information from various places are ultimately not as direct and effective as personally investigating the social environment of Kazdel.

"You mean he's wandering around like a normal person right now!!!"

Theresa's voice became a little louder because of this news.

On the one hand, she was puzzled by the other party's behavior, which was completely different from that of the top leaders of other countries. On the other hand, she was troubled by the "simple" customs of the people in Kazdel.

Many places in Kazdel can't be said to be full of robbery all day long, but they can also be said to be committing all kinds of evil.

They fought in public, beheaded Sakota's head and put it in front of everyone, ambushed foreign caravans on the roadside, slapped the fanged beasts that passed by, and shook the yolks of the feathered beasts apart.

These acts would be considered unforgivable in other places, but in Kazdel they are just after-dinner entertainment and daily activities for local residents.

If you can survive here for a week without hiring local mercenaries, you can directly use this record to go to major logistics caravans and become the most professional and high-paid guide in Kazdel.

Thearesia's head nearly split when she learned that the other party was running around in Kazdel in such an environment.

She did not doubt whether the opponent's military strength could protect itself, but how could such a Kazdel leave a good impression on Zhang Miao?

Everyone knows their own business. Bozhukas knew what was going on with Kazdel and could only comfort Theresa.

"Your Highness, please rest assured. I have already told him about Kazdel's general situation before coming here. He just wants to know more about it."

But it was obvious that his comfort did not make Theresa feel relaxed, but made her even more nervous.

The situation didn't improve until the doctor, who had been silent for a moment, took the initiative to comfort Theresa.

"Theresa, don't worry too much. Our focus now should be on rebuilding Kazdel as soon as possible, rather than dwelling on what has already happened."

He has always been the calmest one among everyone, which is why he doesn't fit in with others.

"Hey, you're right, we should focus on the present."

It has already happened, and there is no point in thinking about it. Theresa looked at Bodracasti again and asked

"Do you have any other tasks next?"

Bozhukas shook his head.

"This operation was sudden, and there is no follow-up plan. However, since the tunnel has been opened, we plan to build a large transfer station there. I hope Your Highness does not mind."

Not to mention Theresa, even the doctor couldn't help but cough after hearing what he said.

To be honest, only Theresa knows some inside information, and the current situation is special. If it were any other country, and you dared to build a tunnel directly into its territory and asked the other party not to mind, it would no longer be a declaration of war, it would be a naked act of shitting on your head and asking you to borrow paper.

The whole room instantly fell into an awkward atmosphere.

Theresa thought about it carefully for a while, and then took the initiative to say

"The reconstruction of Kazdel requires a large amount of materials. Since you have built a tunnel directly into the territory, I wonder if you are willing to provide some support to Kazdel in this regard. We can trade with Lungmen coins or Originium."

It would be extremely difficult for the Sarkaz to purchase resources from Lungmen to rebuild Kazdel. The price alone would be more than 30% higher than the normal transaction price. Moreover, once the news of the reconstruction of Kazdel leaked out, it would be possible for other countries to visit again.

Bozhukas agreed to the request without even thinking about it.

"Of course, Your Highness. The tunnel has been built. Not only can we transport supplies here, but you can also go there to observe at any time. Believe me, Your Highness, the scenery there will definitely be something you will never forget."

This was originally part of Zhang Miao's plan. What difference does it make if it's earlier or later?
