I was raised in the simulator, and I’m really not a bad woman in Ark!

Instead, they are enslaved by mission and responsibility, constantly pushed forward, and even if they cannot make a choice, they are still pushed forward towards the unknown.

She never had a choice.

The only thing you can do is to struggle as much as possible before the end comes, and then try your best to protect everything you can, and use your actions to pay for the sins caused by your actions as much as possible.

There were only so many choices she could make and what she could do.

"Doctor...what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

When Amiya saw that the doctor suddenly stopped talking, she asked timidly, feeling a little worried that the doctor had seen through her lie.

The pair of cute bunny ears that originally stood upright also drooped down subconsciously.

When Amiya called him, the doctor's thoughts returned from the vortex between the past and the present.

"I'm fine, Amiya. I was just thinking, if a person cannot make a choice and can only witness tragedy and disaster, how can this person make himself feel better?"

The doctor said this with a barely perceptible sigh. She was really powerless to change the current situation, especially when she thought of Theresa's ideas and the "garden" that the Originium had blossomed that day.

She felt even more uncomfortable, depressed and distressed.

If he had known it would turn out like this, and that he would be so embarrassed and uncomfortable, the doctor felt that he would rather just rot in the life support cabin from the beginning.

After being dug out, he has to face the trolley problem that he is the trolley. Is this a new form of torture?

I... am not suitable for the role of an 'executor' after all...

If it was Precious or the boss who was here now, they would definitely do better than me, right?

"Ah, Precious, Laoda, I miss you." Whispering softly, the doctor recalled the afternoons in the research institute. The warm sunlight shone through the green vines onto the desks where the girls had played. The silver-haired Gao Jie smiled and held her and Precious's necks. They took naps together, took photos together, went shopping and did research together, leaving behind flawless memories.

But at this moment it can no longer be found, like a treasure blurred by the sands of time.

The doctor really felt very uncomfortable at this moment.

Perhaps...it was she who went to the 'door' in the first place, so letting the boss survive was the best outcome.

"Doctor..." Little Amiya looked at the doctor who suddenly fell into a state of depression and loss again. Although she was so young, she didn't know what the doctor meant by what he just said, nor did she know how to make herself feel better about such a person.

But she, who is not smart, understood that the doctor must be feeling very bad now, just like herself when she lost her parents.

At that time, the Doctor held her hand and pulled her back from the ruins and death. Since then, Amiya has made up her mind that no matter when and where, no matter what happens, no matter how much hardship and pain she has to go through, she must hold the Doctor's hand forever.

Therefore, even if I don’t understand anything, I don’t know what to say.

But Amiya still held the doctor's hand tightly, and spoke to the doctor in a soft but firm and sincere tone:

"Although I am stupid and don't know what the doctor means, and I can't answer him."

"But... Amiya will go back to study in the future, so can you please stop being sad? Amiya will accompany you, just like you will accompany Amiya. Amiya will definitely find the answer for you! So..."

"So could you please smile a little bit, Doctor? I'll hold your hand, just like you hold mine."

'I will hold your hand, just as you hold mine.'

The overlapping of words seemed to allow a certain memory to overlap with the present moment across tens of thousands of years.

The silver figure whose face could not be seen clearly flashed past Amiya in front of the doctor's eyes, which made the doctor stunned for a moment and subconsciously wanted to grab and hug the figure.

But after hearing Amiya's somewhat shy exclamation, he just hugged the Caster girl whose hand he was holding.

"Ah! Doctor...you, what are you doing?"

"Although... although I also like the feeling of hugging you, but... but isn't it inappropriate to hug each other now..."

Shy Amiya didn't know what happened to the Doctor, but she knew that the Doctor hugged her, so she was actually very happy.

However, the girl's slight sense of shame still made the little rabbit's fair cheeks dyed with a lovely blush, and the ears that were originally slightly drooping suddenly stood up, looking very cute.

"Uh... ahem, anyway, thank you Amiya. Doctor, I'm very happy. Now I'm not sad anymore." Awakened from the chaotic thoughts brought about by past memories, the Doctor realized the inappropriateness of his behavior after hugging Amiya.

So he quickly coughed twice to ease the embarrassment, and after making sure that there was no one around and no cameras, he quickly stood up and let go of Amiya, who was in his arms. Looking at the cute little rabbit, he felt warm in his heart when thinking of the other party's words, and at the same time, he couldn't help but have a rare desire to play, so he teased her slightly:

"But Amiya is so cute, I want to hold her even if it doesn't fit. I'm sure other people will envy me, right? After all, Amiya is so cute."

I would like to state in advance that I have no evil intentions towards Dr. Amiya. I treat her like my own daughter or sister. She is not a lolita complex, but a true mature woman complex.

The evidence is that she singled out the research institute's Lao Da at the beginning of the pre-civilization. The natural queen in a white coat, hip skirt, black stockings and high heels is really great! Although Lao Da has some hidden black hole-heavy female attributes, she is more or less attractive.

But he really likes her, and Priss also likes it, so the doctor said these words to Amiya just as a joke and teasing.

Of course... there are also some emotions that come from the bottom of my heart. After all, Amiya is really cute. Even if the Doctor really has to hold Amiya for a whole day, without considering physical factors, he will be very happy.

"Wow, why are you saying such weird things again, Doctor? But...if you want to, I can do it too..."

Although Amiya's voice became smaller and smaller due to shyness, it was almost inaudible at the end, as soft as a mosquito's hum.

But the doctor still looked at the cute little Amiya in front of him with satisfaction, and touched the holy place between the furry head and ears with a satisfied smile.

Amiya also obediently let the doctor touch her head, and even closed her eyes and enjoyed it with a red smile on her face.

This scene seemed particularly warm and peaceful in the cold corridor.

As the doctor watched this scene, his originally complicated mood gradually calmed down.

Although the future is still unclear and is not destined to be a happy future, at least for the moment, she can still cherish the people in front of her and enjoy a beautiful daily life of peace and tranquility.

This is actually enough.

Moreover, compared to the utter despair that the previous civilization faced in the end, Terra today at least no longer has any room for resistance.

That's actually enough, isn't it?

Even the Doctor himself has never seen the thing called hope.

But she will still carry the flame left by the previous civilization and the hopes that Prisus, Lao Da and her compatriots have placed on her and work hard to move forward.

Until the day comes when this world completely defeats that disaster.

Or... until the current lively and ignorant Terra civilization once again follows in the footsteps of the previous civilization and completely disappears in this world.

This is the only thing the doctor can be sure he will always do when he is unable to make a decision.

As for the rest, we can only leave it to time to witness...

Thinking of this, the doctor felt a lot more relaxed, at least that's how it felt now when he touched Amiya's head.

"Huh~, Amiya, thank you for staying with me and comforting me."

"Hey, Doctor, I'm very happy that you suddenly said that, but this is what Amiya should do, so no need to thank me, hehe." Feeling suddenly touched by the Doctor, Amiya smiled shyly, full of vitality and hope.

Like a pure white flower.

But the moment the doctor saw the hideous Originium crystals, his face was tinged with despair.

"I will heal you, Amiya, I promise." The doctor clenched her fists subconsciously and said these words tremblingly, even though she knew that she might never be able to completely heal Amiya.

"Well, Doctor, I believe you."

But Amiya never doubted the doctor's words. She just felt the doctor's warmth and promises. Although she was ignorant, she felt happy from the bottom of her heart.

Chapter 150: Ahead is the Tower of Babel!

Time is always slipping away without people noticing.

About two days have passed since I witnessed the natural disaster.

As the group persevered on their journey, they encountered traditional Sarkaz mercenary robberies, the Originium forest blocking their way, the black market smugglers' joint extortion, and Chunpu's multiple honey traps.

Under the leadership of the Sarkaz Mercenaries, Ikaros and his companions finally arrived at the route of the Tower of Babel, and successfully saw the steel behemoth called Rhodes Island on the distant hills.

The rumbling sound of steel gave people a sense of power. The ships driven by the Originium engine kept moving forward, crushing the desolate land. Unlike any land ships, Rhodes Island was more like a simplified micro mobile city in terms of scale and overall structure.

It's enough to give anyone who sees it for the first time a big shock.

"Wow, what a big landship! It looks like we'll have a lot more questions to ask."

Even Luciana, who was used to seeing many land-based ships and mobile cities, couldn't help but take a few more long-range photos at this moment, and began to appreciate them in amazement in her heart.

At the same time, she had several questions about Rhodes Island in her mind. She planned to see if she could find out the origin and secrets of this unheard-of land ship when she met the legendary Demon King.

"Is this where the Tower of Babel is?" Arturo was the second person to get off the SUV. He followed his mother's gaze and looked towards Rhodes Island in the distance.

It would be a lie to say that I wasn't surprised. After all, Kazdel has always been described as a barren, God-forsaken land in Lateran's propaganda.

Although Arturo's personal experience in Kazdel during this period has basically confirmed that there is nothing wrong with Lateran's propaganda, it is very practical. In addition to the demonization of the Sarkaz, it has also beautified the environment of Kazdel.

But after seeing this huge, modern landship, Arturo couldn't help but be a little surprised.

She had thought that given Kazdel's current situation, it would be good enough for the organization called Babel Tower to have a small landship as a base after voluntarily giving up its only mobile city.

As it turned out, Arturo realized that he had underestimated these Sarkaz people and also underestimated the strength and background of the Tower of Babel.

"Yes, this is Luo...Babel Tower, where the Sarkaz orthodox demon king who believes in peace and unity among all races is located."

After Arturo got out of the car, Ikaros also got out. After tidying up his silver hair a little, he stared at the landship that he had only seen in the game screen in a daze.

He even almost said the name of the ship in advance.

After all, compared to the game CG images, when such a steel behemoth actually appears in front of you, the shock and impact it brings is indeed difficult to describe in words.

“Is this the moving city that people are talking about?”

As a little girl who had never seen a landship or a mobile city, W subconsciously hid beside Ikaros when she saw this huge creature, and her little hands couldn't help but gently clenched the corner of Ikaros' clothes.

He looked a little timid, obviously afraid of the moving giant.

But this is normal. Human babies always have fear and curiosity about unknown things that adults do not have. Just like children are afraid of the dark, it is just an instinct engraved in their genes.

After all, W is just a child, isn't he?

She was just born in Kazdel and became a Sarkaz. Apart from that, there was no essential difference between her and those children in the outside world.

"Not really. If it's a mobile city, it would probably be thousands of times larger than this."

Seeing that W was a little scared, Ikaros put his hand on his head and began to explain.

In fact, what she said was still conservative, because logically speaking, the scale of a mobile city should be at least hundreds of square kilometers, and Rhodes Island really had no way to compare with it.

Even the smallest module that was split out when the mobile city was avoiding natural disasters is probably comparable to the combined size of five or six Rhodes Islands.

"I see... Then how big should a real mobile city be..."

W opened his eyes wide when he heard this, obviously unable to believe how huge the mobile city would be.

For a helpless Sarkaz cub like her, she had to exert all her strength just to survive every day. All she could see was the road ahead and the next meal, so she had never imagined how huge the mobile city was.

Now with Ikaros's rough description and Rhodes Island as a reference, W couldn't even imagine it.

After all, those things are really too far away from a Sarkaz girl like her.

"... Try to live on, and you will see those things one day, W." Ikaros sensed the slight fear in W's heart, but also felt anticipation and caution. However, she would not make any promises to W, but would guide W to make promises to himself.

It is impossible for Ikaros to stay with W forever. Even the current care and adoption are just a natural result and the result of Luciana's interference.

W and Ikaros were not destined to be together.

Sooner or later they would separate for various reasons, and Ikaros couldn't do much for a so-called "game character" that he once "liked" and had only known for less than a week.

So Ikaros would not promise something he could not do, but would just tell W that she could strive for it herself.

"Well, I will survive, Sister Ekaros, for sure!"

However, W obviously didn't think that much. She just added a bit of anticipation to the future and nodded heavily to agree to this agreement which was not really an agreement.

On the side, Arturo seemed to sense that he was threatened by marginalization. He thought for a moment, and while W was talking, he walked to Ekaros' side and asked with some curiosity:

"By the way, Ikaros, you seem to know something about the Demon King. Can you tell me a little bit about him? I'm actually quite curious as well."

The curious Demon King is fake, the real thing is wanting to talk to Ekaros.

Of course, Arturo is actually a little curious about the devil.

But compared to his interactions with Ekaros, Arturo is still indifferent to the Demon King or something.

"Demon King... This topic is a bit complicated, but if you want to hear it, Arturo, I can tell you later on the way to the Tower of Babel."

Icarus looked at Arturo who was approaching her with a thoughtful expression. She certainly would not refuse the request of her childhood sweetheart.

But regarding Theresa's matter, she had to think before she could speak.

After all, she knew too many secrets, and her understanding of Theresa was too profound and familiar. It could be said that she and Theresa, the spiritual symbol of Babel and Kazdel, were two completely different beings.
