Rifle charge in Ark, but without a mount

But now that the situation has completely become active, there is no need to make such sacrifices.

By the way, I also need to inform Margaret and the others not to bring the wrong clothes. After all, that place is the legendary tropical rain forest.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

"Yeah, okay, I get it, we'll get ready now."

After putting away the terminal, Margaret began to look for clothes in the closet. She had been away from home for several years, and many of her previous thin clothes no longer fit her. After searching for a long time, she only found a few pieces that were suitable, but she thought they would be enough to get her through the holiday.

"Come to think of it, Claude probably doesn't have any summer clothes. I've never seen him wear any. Is he wearing armor this time too? …………"

Casimir's New Chapter: Chapter 3 Holiday Plans ()

"The runes on my armor can keep the temperature in a constant range, so it's no problem to wear it to Sargon. It's even cooler than yours, so you don't have to worry. Not only that, it also has a self-cleaning system and an isolation system. Even if there is poisonous gas there, I will be fine. By the way, I have prepared one for each of you. It's not all finished yet. Everyone can wear it after I finish it..."

"That's not what I'm talking about!! Can't you take off this armor?! Since we're on vacation this time, you should dress more normally!!"

"I've already told you it won't have any impact, and I'm even more uncomfortable taking it off..."

The two of them were arguing at the door, with Cinderella insisting that Claude take off his armor and change into normal summer clothes. However, Claude had some instinctive resistance due to his deep-rooted habits.

Finally, with the help of Yelena, Claude was defeated and had to agree to change into clothes suitable for going out, but he still asked to take his armor with him, probably intending to change it back on the road. But after all, he was the backbone of everyone, and this request could not be refuted.

…………

So for the entire afternoon, Claude experienced something that all men have to face but have no interest in: going shopping with a woman.

What was strange was that, with his strength, he would not feel tired even if he walked back to Ursus. But when he followed a few girls around the street, he soon felt a little tired, especially when they were picking clothes for him.

In his opinion, as long as the clothes are wearable and not too ugly, there is no need to worry about the patterns or styles.

But several girls completely treated him as a clothes rack, and came to try on various clothes with great interest. And in most cases, they just tried but did not buy, so Claude wandered around for an entire afternoon to buy two sets of clothes. Although he was not irritated, he felt very bored.

It was not until he threw the clothes he bought on his bed at night that he came to Old Martin's tavern with a sense of relief, ready to have a simple meal with his old friends.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

The table was filled with a large portion of Casimir's special stewed meat and soft bread, as well as the indispensable beer. Claude and his friends, along with the elite operators of Rhodes Island, sat around the table eating and drinking, and Claude took the opportunity to tell them about his plan and asked them to give him some advice. After all, they really knew very little about this, and this was even their first time traveling.

"Hey! Isn't that Gavial's hometown? I heard her say that we can travel now?! I think we have a vacation too, so why don't we ask Dr. Kal'tsit and the Doctor for a leave and go there to have some fun."

Claude was also very surprised when he heard Huang's words. He didn't expect that he would actually meet someone who knew the answer after asking a question casually. He quickly continued to ask:

"What is the actual situation there? Even though the travel company made such claims, the content may not be credible."

The black-haired big cat scratched his head, put the huge wine glass in his hand on the table, frowned slightly, and began to think:

"We just talked about it while drinking. I don't know much. I just heard that the locals seem to be divided into tribes. The one who leads the tribe should be called the Great Chief, right? That should be it... Oh, right, I remember now. She said that people in her hometown don't discriminate against patients with oripathy. They just regard oripathy as an ordinary disease. I really want to go there and take a look..."

Claude listened attentively, tearing off a piece of bread and dipping it directly into the remaining broth.

"She seemed to have mentioned that she had a very good friend in her hometown... I think she said that her tail was very thick? This should be a very conspicuous feature. She also seemed to have said that she had an enemy... Sorry, sorry, I can't remember the rest. After all, I heard her say that when she was drunk."

Huang rubbed her eyes a little embarrassedly. She had just started eating for a while and she was already a little drunk. She drank one liter cup after another and she didn't know how much she had drunk.

"You've been a great help. If you hadn't told me, I would never have imagined that the situation there is like this..."

Claude fell silent again, tapping his fingers on the table. He thought quickly in his mind. Before doing anything, he was used to making a careful plan. This time they only had a week, so they needed to plan the journey perfectly. Of course, this did not include the time for traveling.

"There's no need to be so sad. Aren't you going out to have fun? It's easy to become stupid if you use your brain too much."

Huang put her arms around Claude's neck and spoke to him casually like a good brother. In the blink of an eye, she drank two more glasses of wine and was a little confused now.

Claude hesitated for a moment, then felt relieved.

Huang was right. After all, they were going on vacation, not to fight. There was no need for him to be too tense. It would be enough to just make the minimum emergency plan.

"You should drink less. Drinking too much will make you stupid..."

…………

As expected, they all got drunk and asked someone to send them back. Claude also had to go back to his base to rest and pack his luggage. His weapons took up a lot of space. If he added armor, he might need a bigger vehicle, but the armored vehicle was too conspicuous... plus he needed food and water.

…………Um?

Claude suddenly had an idea. If the elite team of Rhodes Island was here, then their ship must be relatively close. He also wanted to find that doctor to build a relationship and deepen their future cooperation. If he could get a ride again, it would be like killing two birds with one stone.

Not only can it save us from all the complicated considerations, but it also saves us from having to sleep in the open air along the way. We can even give Xiao Ke and Yelena, whose conditions are more serious, another check-up to prevent any problems before they occur.

Thinking of this, Claude no longer hesitated, took out his terminal and began to search the frequency band of Rhodes Island. If the other party was nearby, he should be able to contact them successfully.

…………

drop! !

Following a clear sound, Claude saw the Rhodes Island communication band appear on the terminal screen. He breathed a sigh of relief and directly sent a communication request.

Casimir's new chapter: Another leave.

The author is going to an interview tomorrow. This interview is very important to me, so I need to prepare for it today. Therefore, I don’t have time to update. Please understand.

Casimir's New Chapter: Chapter 185 The Journey Begins

A new day in Rhodes Island begins with the music played on the radio. The soft and soothing music lingers in the giant steel ship. It seems peaceful and beautiful, but countless complaints are heard in the dormitories. After all, no matter how good the music is, if you use it to wake yourself up every day, it will soon become annoying, and this feeling of disgust will only deepen as time goes by. So, the way to make people hate a song is to set it as your wake-up ringtone, which is very effective.

"Hmph! Aa ...

In a dormitory of the Rhode Island Medical Department, an irritable roar sounded from under the quilt, showing the person's bad mood at the moment. A messy green long hair stretched out from the quilt and hit the window frame heavily, causing the entire wall to shake.

"That damn profiteer! Rhodes Island's wake-up music hasn't changed in three months. I'm almost sick of it!..."

The Adaklis girl named Gavial dragged herself out of the quilt with an expression full of resentment and anger. She washed herself in a daze, zipped up her coat from behind with her slender tail, picked up the heavy and tough staff, pushed open the door, felt her meal card in her pocket, and walked towards the cafeteria of Rhodes Island.

The closer she got to the cafeteria, the more expectant her expression became. After all, Rhodes Island's food standards far exceeded those of other companies of the same type. Chefs from all over the world and various forces would be on duty in the cafeteria's kitchen non-stop, bringing a variety of delicacies from all over the world to the Rhodes Island operators.

"I wonder who will cook today. It would be great if it's that Jiaofeng. I just want to taste the steaming hot stew..."

Just when she was distracted, she heard footsteps behind her. As an excellent warrior, her intuition made her turn her head alertly and grasp the long handle of the staff.

But after seeing who was coming, she relaxed again:

"It's Mr. Claude. Are you going to the cafeteria for breakfast too?"

Claude had a strange expression on his face, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated. He was now considering how to tell the lady what he knew so as not to hurt the dignity of another lady.

At the same time, he couldn't help smacking his tongue. The bitter taste almost made him lose his sense of taste. It was not only bitter, but also a little spicy and a little sour. But when all these were combined, it didn't taste delicious. But the signal from his body clearly told him that he had taken in enough nutrition.

"Maybe the food in the cafeteria today doesn't suit your taste. Do you understand that?"

Claude decided to use a more euphemistic approach, hoping that the other party would understand on their own.

"I haven't eaten yet, how do you know it's not to your liking? And skipping breakfast is bad for your stomach. I'm a doctor, I know that."

Gavial said nonchalantly, without stopping at all.

"It's definitely not to your taste. To be more precise, it's not to the taste of most people, so I think you, Miss Gavial, will be no exception."

Now that things have been said, it's almost made clear, and Claude doesn't believe that the other party still can't understand.

The Adaklis girl's footsteps suddenly stopped, and the sound of her high-heeled boots stepping on the floor was abrupt and loud.

"You mean... could it be?..."

"That's what you think."

Claude nodded very seriously. Now there were only Ceob and Hart in the cafeteria, and they were the only ones who could eat at this moment. Anyway, they could finish it alone, so it was not a waste of food.

"I'm not grateful for your kindness. It's better for us not to stay in this place..."

The two men began to retreat tacitly, because they were almost approaching the cafeteria. The large automatic door was like a poisonous snake or scorpion to them. They kept retreating until they turned the corner and could no longer see the cafeteria door. Only then did Javier breathe a sigh of relief.

"Could it be that Mr. Claude, you ate the food from the cafeteria this morning?"

Gavial reacted a little late. After all, Claude had never eaten there before and didn't know how famous the cafeteria was on that day. The only explanation was that he had already eaten there in the morning, so he stopped him halfway and tried to dissuade him.

"Well, it's really as good as its reputation says... I never thought there would be food in the world that I wouldn't want to eat a second time. Back then, I could even eat 2-year-old bacon..."

Claude was a little hesitant to talk. He thought that the can of bacon that had been buried underground for hundreds of years when he was young was the most unpalatable thing... In fact, it was not particularly unpalatable, it was just very tough, tougher than cowhide. Apart from that, it only had a slight rotten smell, so there was nothing wrong with eating it.

But it was the first time he saw a chef who didn't pay any attention to the taste when cooking. It was like he was making nutrient solution for a terminally ill patient. He didn't consider the taste at all and only focused on the nutrients contained in the food.

Maybe he should give some suggestions to the cafeteria. After all, the little girl was fully capable of making delicious food. He just didn't know why no one tried to do so, but instead chose not to come to the cafeteria on that day.

…………

Having made up his mind, Claude stopped thinking about it. He had other reasons for coming to see Gavial.

"Travel?! Do you want to travel to my hometown? Then you have found the right person! In the whole of Rhodes Island, there is no one else who is more familiar with the situation there than me. If you want to know anything, just ask me."

"There's nothing really important to ask. If possible, please recommend some tourist attractions to us so that we can arrange our schedule more compactly."

"As for attractions, the biggest attraction I know is the waterfall. It's quite spectacular. You can go there to play. By the way, your current clothes are still a bit too thick. It's better to wear something thinner, just enough to protect most of your skin... Otherwise, you will regret it later."

"But I saw that travel guide recommended that we wear swimsuits and stuff. Is that really a lie?"

"It's not really a lie. If you follow the regular tourist route, it's indeed most appropriate to wear a swimsuit. But this is a rainforest after all. It would be troublesome if you encounter snakes, insects, rats, ants, etc. The guys in my hometown are thick-skinned and have long been accustomed to it, but tourists from other places still have to be careful."

Casimir's New Chapter: Chapter 1: The Journey ()

"By the way, your outfit is quite nice and tasteful."

Gavial said as if he had suddenly discovered something.

The Claude in front of her was very rare not wearing armor. Although he was still equipped with a long sword, he did not have any hard protective gear. He only had a breathable jacket with a high-necked shirt. The jacket had an overlapping collar design and several black belts of unknown meaning on it. With some complicated golden patterns, it looked grand and exquisite.

Add to that long pants and high leather boots, and it's a very eye-catching outfit. If he walks around the streets of Casimir, at least 90% of people will turn around to look at him... Considering his current status, it might even be 100%.

"Really? Actually, I've always been very uncomfortable... After all, if I encounter a long-range sniper without armor..."

"You are a little too sensitive. There are not so many enemies and long-range snipers. It's not like we have to fight every day. There's no need to worry! And with your strength, even if you don't wear armor, it would be very difficult to kill you with a long-range sniper. Maybe there is no such a thing in the world. Even I'm not worried, so why are you worried?"

"Maybe what you said makes sense... It shouldn't be a problem to wear it occasionally for a few days. After all, it's unlikely that you'll run into those guys everywhere..."

As he spoke, he subconsciously glanced at the distant horizon, as if looking for something, but he quickly recovered.

"Oh, and here's a little gift from me. You can use it if you get hurt. It's very effective."

As he spoke, Claude took out some small red bottles from his bag, each with a capacity of 10 ml. This was the formula that he had spent a lot of effort to find some time ago. It was the most commonly used healing potion in the Legion. He entrusted the messenger to send back his formula, samples and rune master. A production line should have been opened in Chernobog by now.

Because it was a very important item, he specially contacted Longmen's Penguin Logistics, a very reliable logistics company. Although the cost was high, they still delivered the motherboard to Chernobog intact, which was worth the money. At least Claude himself knew the difficulty of transporting the motherboard, especially when it was impossible to engrave reinforcement runes on it due to its size.

"If you can't stop the bleeding, you can drink a bottle of this, especially if the wound is large, it can save your life."

"Mr. Claude, can you make medicine?!!"

Gavial seemed quite curious. She took a bottle, opened the cap and looked at the red liquid inside. Just looking was not enough. She raised it up and took a sip, and then her whole face wrinkled.

"Although I did make it, I actually don't understand how it works... and it's very bitter. Maybe I made a mistake and it has such a side effect. I remember it was supposed to taste like radish... raw radish."

Gavial looked as if she wanted to pull her tongue out, her facial features all wrinkled up, and she ignored Claude. It seemed that the bitterness of the potion was a little beyond her imagination.

“Although there are some minor issues, its effectiveness is guaranteed.”

Claude reached out and put the medicine bottle in his hand into hers. After finding the formula, he made a lot of potions in order to be more precise. These products were distributed to everyone. Even the Silver Spear Pegasus each got a few bottles, but there were still a lot left.

"Mr. Claude, do you mind if we study it? If it really has the effect you said, it will be a revolution in the entire pharmaceutical industry!"

As a medically trained man, Javier quickly realized the value of this drug, which was more effective than any other emergency medicine in the world and could save countless lives.

"Of course, no problem. It would be best if you could figure out something. I also want to understand the principle of this thing."

Although I was lucky enough to find it in the end, it is not a long-term solution after all. It would certainly be a good thing if I could replicate the same effect using the technology of this world.

"Then I'll go find Kal'tsit first. She should be still awake now, so I'd better not sleep and continue working..."

Gavial turned around and rushed into the medical department, shouting Kal'tsit's name in her loud voice, causing the entire department to jump up and down.

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――― ---

Rhodes Island was moving on the land, and its wide tracks stirred up dust that covered the sky. The operation of this huge machine required thousands of workers to work together to maintain the operation of various parts of this giant ship in the most narrow and stuffy places. Most of these workers were infected people who were taken in by Rhodes Island because of persecution. They had nowhere to go, and some even stayed on this ship for most of their lives.

After finishing a hard day's work, they would go to the pub in twos and threes, arm in arm, and order a glass of the cheapest beer, but they dared not get drunk, because they would have the same work to do tomorrow. Even so, their faces were often filled with smiles, full of hope for their lives.

They work hard and their pay is not high, but it is already very good treatment in this world, because Rhodes Island will provide them with free medical assistance. For those infected who don't know whether they can live to the next day, they don't have to pay for medical expenses. They can save most of the expenses, and their wages can be used to improve their lives. In the eyes of most other infected people in this world, it is already an unimaginable good life.

Of course, the situation is different now. Casimir has now promulgated the most relaxed policy for infected people in the world's history. As long as infected people undergo regular medical examinations and wear monitoring devices, they can live in every city like a normal citizen. Although it is only in its infancy and is still difficult to implement in most areas due to people's deep-rooted discrimination, it still has milestone significance.

After all, even if it was only equality in theory, it was the first time in history. Long before they left Casimir, the report submitted to Claude showed that the number of infected people arriving in Casimir every day was increasing. Countless infected people came to this newly reformed country for hope, and even more died on the way.

Claude knew how tragic and tragic this migration was, and how cheap human life was at this moment. But for such a possibility, countless infected people still rushed forward like moths to a flame.

Claude looked at the setting sun falling below the horizon in the distance. The light night color had begun to occupy the sky, and the stars no longer hid their whereabouts. They would not disappear in the sky until the next sunrise.

Countless knights and warriors cheered his name. In everyone's opinion, he had made remarkable achievements, but Claude knew that what he had to do was far from enough and he still had a long way to go to reach his real goal.

This is a war with no retreat. If we take a step back, all our previous efforts will be wasted.
