Poseidon in Tomorrow's Ark

"Ah, I know, I know." Tallulah stood up from the chair and simply squeezed her leg. "I didn't expect it to be resolved so quickly."

"Oh, right." Talulah looked at the Patriot as if she remembered something. "As for the warehouse, have the recent thieves been caught?"

"Yes." The patriot nodded, "They have been caught. As for the food, I'm afraid there is no way to recover it."

"I understand." Tallulah nodded. "Just give them a simple punishment, so they know not to steal food casually. Now our food must last until the first round of harvest can begin in the grain greenhouse."

I don't think simple punishment can stop them from wanting more food." The patriot shook his head, "They want more security, and in the current situation, food is more security."

"That's true." Tallulah pinched the bridge of her nose, but there was no way out in the current situation. The only food they got was the batch that came for Wei Yanwu.

Most of the food in this city was destroyed in the almost crazy riots before. Even the goods in supermarkets and stores were destroyed in various ways by the angry infected people in the previous riots, and very few could be salvaged.

What's more important is that this city was not designed to be a mobile agricultural city for planting from the very beginning, and the very few agricultural mining lands are still unable to supply the entire city's population.

They needed trade, but they had no assets, so Tallulah brought Bonebreaker back and asked him to find a way to dismantle the bank vaults in those cities and get some money from them.

However, the progress is currently slow. Broken Bone has only been able to open one or two of them after great effort, and it is still unknown how many assets they will eventually obtain for exchange.

Of course, having money is one thing, but what is more important is which city would allow a group of terrorist organizations to trade with them, and the snake would also be eyeing it.

For now, they can only grit their teeth and persevere. Even if they have to force changes, they have to turn this city into an agricultural city. Otherwise, they have no way to feed so many infected people.

Their flames would extinguish themselves, and this is absolutely not allowed.

"Are you troubled?" Xiyue's voice suddenly came from behind them.

Chapter 132: The Ghost Shark

"Hey, Miss Xiyue." Tallulah looked in the direction of the voice and saw Xiyue coming out of the portal. "Good afternoon, Miss Xiyue."

"Good afternoon." Xiyue walked out of the portal, "It looks like the situation is not very good."

The Patriot bowed slightly to Xiyue and then said, "The people's lack of cooperation and the imminent food problem are both obvious threats, and we have no way to solve them in the short term."

"Is that so?" Xiyue nodded. "It seems that the situation is not very good. Even with Wei Yanwu's help, it is still an urgent matter."

"Did you do anything else?"

"We have cleared a portion of the original planting area." The Patriot pointed to the map on the table beside him and said to Xiyue, "But given the current situation, it will take a long time to get the first harvest."

"It seems you have to hold on a little longer." Xiyue looked at the map and nodded, but didn't say anything else.

Tallulah looked at Xiyue with some confusion: "Ms. Xiyue, why are you free to come here today?"

"First, I suddenly remembered you and came to check on the situation." Xiyue shrugged at Tallulah, "Second, I came here to hide away."

"You're trying to get some free time. Is there something wrong?" Shuangxing looked at Xiyue curiously. She was very curious about what kind of trouble could someone like Xiyue get into that would require her to come here to get some free time.

"The people at home have been making a lot of noise lately." Xiyue smiled helplessly, "So I came here to hide away and take a look at your current situation."

"Of course, I also came to see if Tallulah wanted to go back to see Officer Chen to celebrate the New Year or something."

"Oh~" Frost Star nodded, but she was a little confused. Would a god like Xiyue also have family members who would say such things?

"Why not?" Xiyue looked at the white rabbit with a smile.

"Hmm!" After hearing what Xiyue said, Shuangxing actually felt a little flustered and quickly shook his head.

"My daughter is just curious and doesn't mean anything." The patriot on the side looked at Xiyue nervously.

"I know." Xiyue nodded with a smile, "and I don't care too much."

Then Xiyue walked up and took a look at the various books on Tallulah's desk, all of which were about politics or agriculture.

However, it is obvious that most of these books are damaged, and some even have burnt edges.

"It seems that the situation is worse than I thought." Xiyue looked at the books on the table, "Are they all rescued?"

"It's better to say that a lot of things were burned." Tallulah shook her head and looked at the scenery outside the command tower, "regardless of whether the previous destruction was intentional or unintentional."

"Now that we have calmed down and carefully looked around, we can see that we are not even living any better than we were on the ice field. Even the people who might have supported us before are beginning to dislike us."

"The only thing that has changed is that we now have a city, or a ruin, but it will also be hope." Tallulah looked at the scenery outside. "We will get better, but it will take time. It will all be worth it."

"It will be worth it, provided we can survive this snowstorm and severe cold." Xiyue came over and touched Tallulah's head. "I look forward to your flames crossing the severe cold and spreading warmth to the distance."

"Then, can Lord Xiyue help me?" Tallulah hesitated for a moment and then hugged Xiyue's hand.

"Sure, what can I do for you?" Xiyue saw a look of understanding flash across Tallulah's eyes. She guessed that Tallulah probably didn't want to ask Wei Yanwu for help anymore. Since she happened to be here, she wanted to take advantage of her.

"That Miss Xiyue..." Tallulah stopped talking. She knew that this matter shouldn't have troubled Xiyue, but given their current situation, it might be difficult for them to hold on until the land could grow food again.

Even if food can be grown, how many people can it support?

Thinking of this, Tallulah made up her mind and looked at Xiyue, "Can you help get some more food?"

The patriot standing behind Tallulah had a hint of displeasure in his eyes under the mask. He did not want to trouble Xiyue unduly. This was a problem that they should solve themselves, not one that Xiyue should help them solve.

But Kan also understood why Tallulah asked Xiyue for help. Chernobyl was not an agricultural city, and what they cleared was only a small part of the planting area.

Not to mention the refugees still left in Chernobyl, even the food produced by the small piece of land of their Integration Movement would probably not be enough to feed them.

As for Longmen, at the very least it was charitable aid, and at the most, that snake would not miss a glaring reason for declaring war. It simply charged Longmen with the crime of funding a terrorist organization that attacked the Ursus Mobile City. This reason for declaring war was enough.

This is why Wei Yanwu had the previous batch of grain delivered as a merchant, and even before that he erased all evidence that might point to Longmen.

Although he was extremely reluctant, the patriot could only calmly look at Xiyue. After the initial outbreak, the flames had already burned all the firewood under him to ashes.

"Yes, I can help." Xiyue nodded, "but you seem to be a little late."

Upon hearing this, Tallulah looked at Xiyue with some confusion: "What do you mean? What do you mean it's too late?"

"Nothing." Xiyue looked at the patriot beside him, "I guess you didn't let anyone go to the city that I transformed into the sea, right?"

"Of course not." The Patriot was slightly stunned. He knew that the place was in the best condition now, but because of the special situation there, he had always asked his shield guards and Frost Star's Snow Monster Squad to guard various positions and not let anyone in.

"Why are you being so cautious?" Xiyue looked at the Patriot somewhat helplessly, but she could also understand the Patriot's caution, so she didn't say much and continued to explain later.

"The sea, of course, should be used for its own purposes."

-------------

"I'm back." Xiyue opened the door and looked at the hall where small lanterns were hung everywhere. "...How many have you hung?"

"About two bags?" Angel Power took a look at the packaging bags in the trash can. In fact, Texas only helped her hang a few strings, and then Texas quit and ran to the side to tease Hong.

Then the Angel looked at the remaining lanterns in his hand, and thought that he had already bought them all, so he went to hang them up again. The more he hung, the more he hung, and finally it looked like this.

"...It's quite festive." Xiyue looked helplessly at the large number of lanterns hanging on the wall. It was quite festive, but a bit too many, at least it seemed too many in the house.

"I hope the tape isn't too strong, so it doesn't take off the wall when we do it." Xiyue looked at the lanterns on the wall with some concern.

Originally, one or two strings would be fine, but now the Angel has pasted them like this. If I tear them off later, if the wall paint comes off, there will probably be large pieces of them.

Suddenly, Xiyue felt someone hit her lower back. Then Xiyue reached out without looking back and pulled Hong into her arms.

Afterwards, Xiyue rubbed Hong's head fiercely and said, "I've told you so many times, little guy, don't bump around. You're getting stronger and stronger now."

“Mmmmm~” Hong rubbed Xiyue’s hand, and then lay in Xiyue’s arms, “Anyway, mom is strong, don’t be afraid~”

"Little rascal." Xiyue raised her hand and tapped Hong's head gently. She held Hong with one hand and began to take out the New Year's goods she had bought from her clothes.

In the end, the floor was filled with all kinds of New Year snacks. Angel was looking at the snacks with shining eyes. He quickly got down from the sofa and pounced on them. He took two packs and immediately returned to the sofa.

"You bought so much, where are you going to put it?" Texas came over and looked at the New Year's goods on the ground. "Are you planning to buy all their snacks until summer?"

"Anyway, they can't stop eating, so they should be able to finish eating soon." Xiyue shrugged. "As for where to put it, wasn't the ghost shark dragged back by Skadi?"

Texas heard this and looked down at the clean area from the sofa at his feet to the door, which was obviously different from the surrounding somewhat aged floors.

It was nothing serious. Xiyue went to buy groceries at that time. Just when everyone was getting along and preparing to proceed with the next plan, the door was suddenly pushed open, and in came an angry Skadi.

As for what happened next, the damaged floor should be obvious. I have to say that the ghost shark is really strong. It even took a little bit of the floor with it when it walked.

The floor was repaired after Xiyue came back, looked at the mess on the ground, was silent for a while, and then took out a crystal from his pocket.

—————Rhode Island, Medical Department, Psychiatric Department, Ghost Shark Ward—————

"Shark, do you still have any comradeship? How can you be like this? I just got out and you ran out to live with Xiyue." Skadi ate while looking at Ghost Shark who was tied to the hospital bed with a belt, with a speechless face.

Ghost Shark looked at the ceiling with a look of despair. Ever since she was dragged back by Skadi yesterday, she has been tied to this bed.

This belt is easy to break free from, and the ghost shark is not afraid even if it is several times thicker. But the problem lies in the killer whale next to it. The ghost shark's physical condition has just shown signs of recovery.

Moreover, as a deep-sea hunter, even with her current physique, she is actually enough to defeat many people. But the guy next to her is also a deep-sea hunter like her, and his strength is even worse than hers. There is no way she can beat him.

This killer whale is a real killer, it has no brains at all. If you found me, you could just find me. Wouldn't it be better if you could just live with me? And you dragged me back.

It would be fine if you dragged me here, and I would treat you as a fool, but you stand here like a nagging woman for 24 hours, chattering all the time. What does that mean?

Last night, I dreamed about your nagging voice.

"I haven't even lived with Xiyue for two days, but you've lived with her for a whole month." Skadi's voice was full of grievance as she looked at the ghost shark staring at the ceiling, as if counting how many cracks there were on the ceiling.

"So, Skadi, have you ever thought about a question?" Ghost Shark murmured at this moment, turned his head, and looked at Skadi speechlessly.

"What's the problem?" As if she had finally complained enough, Skadi, who had been muttering to herself, actually raised her head and looked at Ghost Shark.

Ghost Shark looked at Skadi with empty eyes: "If you hadn't dragged me back yesterday, you could have just sat on the sofa and waited for Xiyue to come back, and then lived together naturally."

“………”Skadi stared at the Ghost Shark in a daze, as if he was looking at an idiot.

“………”Ghost Shark just looked at Skadi, and at this moment Skadi’s eyes revealed a kind of clear stupidity.

Neither of them spoke to each other. Ghost Shark's eyes became more and more helpless. She suddenly didn't want to form an alliance with Skadi anymore. This was a complete bummer!

"So, can we do this?" Skadi seemed to have finally come to her senses and looked at the ghost shark.

"So when you dragged me back here, you didn't even think about why I lived there?" Ghost Shark rolled his eyes. "You've lived there before, too, so why can't you figure this out?"

Aba aba aba

There was more stupidity in Skadi's eyes. When she came back and found that Ghost Shark was not in the ward, she wondered if he had gone out, so she asked a nearby doctor.

I learned from the doctor that Ghost Shark and an unfamiliar girl from Liberi left, and it seemed that they had Kal'tsit's permission.

The reason why this doctor knew about this was because the ghost shark's escape movements were so huge. Even though he was eating at the time, several doctors saw it, and then this matter became a topic of conversation.

In short, after knowing this, Skadi's mind exploded, and an equation gradually took shape in the ghost shark's mind.

Ghost Shark + Liberi Girl = Ghost Shark and Xiyue go out together = Ghost Shark runs away!

Afterwards, Skadi came to the headquarters of Penguin Logistics in anger. Originally, Skadi just came to see if she could ask the staff where Xiyue and the others were.

After asking, Skadi knew that the ghost shark was here, and then Skadi went straight to the door with full of resentment.

At that time, Skadi seemed to only want to catch a shark that had escaped and didn't even think about the possibility of tagging along.

"Well, then you can't run away with Xiyue." After Skadi discovered her problem, her momentum weakened.

"Who told you that Xiyue and I ran away?" Ghost Shark rolled his eyes, broke the belt with force, and sat up directly. "I clearly ran over by myself. If anyone said I ran away, it was another guy."

"But the doctors here saw you running out with a girl from Liberia." Skadi shrank her head, "And the doctor who loves riddles agreed..."

"That was another guy." Ghost Shark looked at Skadi. "At the time, I used her as a shield, but I didn't expect her to use the momentum to go downhill and sneak away faster than any of us."

"Hmm?" Skadi touched his head and looked at Ghost Shark with some confusion, "Who is it?"

Chapter 133: Little Whale Impact

"Muerseth, if I remember correctly, she seems to be the director from Rhine Life?" Ghost Shark sat on the bed, looking a little depressed, "I don't know the details, and she is a direct subordinate of Xiyue."

"Direct subordinates?" Skadi tilted her head, seemingly not understanding what Ghost Shark meant.

"How can I explain this to you?" Ghost Shark looked at Skadi, thought about it and decided to turn the page. "Forget it, she's not here anyway. When you see her next time, you'll know why I said that."

"Then what should we do now?" Skadi looked at Ghost Shark weakly.

"Alas..." Ghost Shark sighed and looked at Skadi helplessly. After thinking for a while, Ghost Shark asked, "I just want to ask you a question. Do you want to be with Xiyue?"

"Of course, what's the matter? Aren't you the same?" Skadi turned her head away, her cheeks slightly red, "Why are you asking this?"

"Well, do you know that there are people in Penguin Logistics who have the same idea as you?" Ghost Shark looked at Skadi with a smile on his face.

"What?" Skadi tilted her head and recalled the short period when she lived with Xiyue. Then, she asked tentatively, "Are you talking about Hong?"

"..." Ghost Shark's mouth twitched. Yes, how could she expect this killer whale to find something? So Ghost Shark raised her hand and patted Skadi's head hard.

"What are you doing, Shark?" Skadi touched the place where the ghost shark hit him, and then adjusted his hat that had just been knocked crooked. "Why are you so crazy all of a sudden?"

"How can I count on you?" Ghost Shark looked at Skadi speechlessly, "I mean Texas and Exia."

"Hmm?" Skadi recalled the two and then shook her head, "I don't think so."

"Haha, if you're like this, when someone sells you out, you'll have to count the money." Ghost Shark rolled his eyes. Of course, Skadi wouldn't be that stupid, it's just that the other party's emotionally... forget it.

"How about this, we two work together and I'll help you come up with a strategy." Ghost Shark looked at Skadi, "You help me cover, and we can eat each other's soup?"
