Poseidon in Tomorrow's Ark

Zilan sat behind her desk, constantly processing personnel applications submitted by these operators or people who wanted to join Rhodes Island.

Because of the talent recruitment plan organized by the doctor, there are quite a lot of people who want to join recently. Some want to become operators, and some want to come and get medical services, which has caused the recent workload to become extremely huge.

Just like now, if someone pushed those documents lightly, those documents would be like a landslide, crushing Zilan inside.

But even so, Zilan still had to carefully select those who were sincerely joining Rhodes Island and those who were here for free, and then put the sorted ones aside.

Of course, even those infected people who are obviously here to get something for free will not be rejected directly. Rhodes Island will still agree to let them join, but will adopt some other methods to get some small rewards from them.

After all, even if Rhodes Island is willing to treat patients for free, reality will not allow it. As for Rhodes Island's finances, it can only be said that it can still make a lot of profit because of the purchasing relationship between Longmen, Shelag and Xiosta.

However, the treatment and rehabilitation of infected people has always been a huge bottomless pit, which can be said to be unable to be filled no matter how much money is poured into it.

In order to increase revenue, the doctor tried his best to get Rhodes Island an armed escort agreement. This agreement allows Rhodes Island's operators to carry out armed escorts and increase revenue for Rhodes Island.

At the same time, the operators can also promote Rhodes Island. Whether it is to attract sponsorship or to attract operators, according to the doctor, don't worry about whether there are fish or not, just give it a try first.

As for the situation, I can only say that it is not so bad. The name of the Rhode Island drug was indeed spread in this way, and it spread very far.

And there is no need to spend any advertising fees. At most, you can ask the operators to bring one or two more inhibitors or other drugs for on-site trials, and the reputation will naturally come.

However, there were some other problems. Also because of the armed escort, some low-star operators who could move more freely were particularly keen to submit their applications to the Human Resources Department.

As for the reasons, some wanted to help Rhodes Island, some wanted to gain experience for themselves, and some wanted to prepare for future promotions. Some people just wanted to use public funds to go out. There were all kinds of reasons.

"Why, it's you again?" Zi Lan felt helpless holding the personnel application from Air Explosion requesting to participate in the next armed escort, especially after seeing the reason for the application.

[Please, Sister Zilan! Let me go outside and get some fresh air! Instructor Doberman has become stricter recently! Please! ]

"Oh..." Zilan sighed deeply. This was not the first or second time that Kongbao had used this excuse to participate in the armed escort. Although it was called an armed escort, except in extremely unlucky circumstances, there was actually no need for too much fighting along the way.

Even if you encounter them, you just need to defeat them. As for what happens afterwards, generally speaking, bandits in a certain area are usually connected. If you defeat one group of bandits, other bandits will not bother you.

No one wants to chew a tough bone unless it is extremely worth it.

"Really?" Zilan checked the recent armed escort commission and thought for a while, then picked up the airblast application, stamped it with the same seal, and then put it aside.

"Hello..." A strange voice woke Zilan up from her work, "Excuse me, is this the Human Resources Department of Rhodes Island?"

"Hmm?" Zi Lan heard the voice and poked her head out from behind the pile of documents. She looked at the three people who suddenly walked in and said, "Hello, everyone. This is the Human Resources Department. What can I do for you?"

"What strange clothes, they seem to be of religious style." As a former fashion magazine editor, Zilan could recognize the general style of the other party's strange robes at a glance.

"But why is it so strange?" Zilan looked at the robes of the three people and thought about the popular sects she knew. "The dark blue color doesn't look like the Lateran, Syracuse, or Iberia. Is it a minority sect somewhere?"

"Is there any problem?" asked one of the leading men.

"Ah, no, no, no, it's nothing." Zi Lan retracted her inquiring gaze and asked, "Excuse me, what brings you three to Rhodes Island? What's the matter?"

"We submitted an application earlier, and Rhodes Island also gave us a response." A girl behind the leading man spoke slowly, "So we are here to fulfill the contract."

"Contract?" Zi Lan's eyes swept over their heads and saw three people with blue feathers growing on their heads or pinned with hairpins. "Are they from a medical organization in some area?"

"Wait a moment." Zilan walked to the teapot beside her and poured three cups of tea out, placing them on the table beside her. "I need to check the situation with the doctor."

Of course it wasn't the Human Resources Department. They needed to check with the doctor only if they didn't receive the relevant information. It was just that when agreeing to this cooperation document, they specifically asked Zilan to contact her after the people from the medical association arrived. She wanted to meet them.

"Excuse me, do you have originals or copies of the documents with you?"

Hearing Zilan's words, the leading man and the woman who had just spoken immediately looked to the side, and saw another person who seemed to be their entourage.

"Yes." The person they were looking at spoke immediately, then took out a prepared document from the luggage beside him and handed it to Zilan.

"Okay, wait a moment." Zilan took the document, took a photo of it and sent it to the doctor, "Miss Doctor, I will be here soon, please wait a moment."

"No problem." The leading man nodded, hesitated for a moment, and then continued in a stiff tone, "Excuse me, I want to ask our Lord... No, I want to ask if Miss Xiyue is here?"

"Master?" Zi Lan was a little confused, but still answered, "Ms. Xiyue is on a business trip recently and is not in Rhodes Island now."

"Yeah……?"

Zilan looked at the three people strangely. For some reason, after she said that Miss Xiyue was on a business trip, the three people seemed to become extremely lost in an instant, especially the man who was in the lead and the woman.

"You guys are still busy quite late?" Xiyue sat beside the table, looking at Nian who had just pushed the door open with Xiyue, "It looks like Miss Xi agrees?"

"Of course~" Nian nodded, then pulled Xi behind him, "We made a bet, but Xi had already lost it, so it went smoothly."

"But it took some time to get her to give in~"

"Humph." Xi curled her lips, "You're not ashamed to use your rhetoric to make me continue a bet that I've already lost."

"But you agreed too~" Nian's face was full of smiles, "and it was obviously you who was stubborn, how can you blame me?"

"Tsk." Xi curled her lips. Although she knew that the bet would be lost, she just wanted to take another look, and the monk did give her a good answer.

"Look at the mountains as mountains, look at the water as water..." Xi took a deep breath, "Forget it, I really should go out for a walk, otherwise I will be nagged."

"Really?" Xiyue smiled and didn't ask for details. "Would you like something to drink?"

"Have a cup of tea~" Nian pulled Xi to sit on the chair without any hesitation, "It's not suitable to drink coffee at night."

"Okay." Xiyue nodded, then took out some tea leaves from her windbreaker.

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

Xiyue took a sip and then looked at Xi: "How is it? Is it delicious?"

Since most people basically don’t need any other effects, Xiyue just used delicious tea.

"Miss Xiyue's cooking skills are very good." Xi nodded to Xiyue, "The tea is even more exquisite, but the way someone drinks it ruins this perfect experience."

"Well." Xiyue smiled, "It's okay, do you want another drink?"

Xi shook her head: "Good tea is not easy to drink too much. It's late at night now, so it's not suitable to drink too much tea."

"Oh, my lovely sister actually said it's late at night~" Nian said decisively, "How long have you not slept?"

"have a finger in the pie."

"You can't stay awake." Xiyue put down the teacup and looked at it with a slightly serious expression, "Even if it's a fragment of a giant beast, you can't stay awake all the time, Miss Xi."

"..." If it was Nian, Xi would have retorted, but if it was Xiyue, Xi wouldn't know what to say. It was just that she was really afraid of sleeping. She was afraid of seeing "herself" in her dreams.

"I won't sleep." In the end, Xiye could only say this firmly, "That's it."

"Really?" Xiyue looked at Xi, hesitated for a moment, and nodded, "I understand."

"Oh?" Nian raised her eyebrows and looked at Xiyue. She brought up this topic just now because she wanted to see if Xiyue had any way to let Xiyue have a good sleep. After all, this good sister of hers probably hadn't had a good sleep for hundreds of years.

However, she didn't expect that Xiyue seemed to let the matter go just like that. But then she saw Xiyue making a gesture for her to stay calm under the table.

"It seems that Miss Xiyue has other plans..."

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

"Huh..." Xi sat at the table. This was a newly opened room of hers. There was a painting scroll placed in front of the table, and now, the painting scroll had been added with the finishing touches by Xi.

"Are you finished?" Xiyue's voice suddenly sounded. Xi turned around abruptly and found that Xiyue was standing behind him, admiring his painting.

"Xi, when did you do that?" Xi looked at Xiyue in surprise. She didn't even know how long Xiyue had been standing behind her. Was it just now? Or had she always been there?

"Are you interested in going with me to admire the stars?" Xiyue looked at Xi with a smile on her face and stretched out her hand, "Just consider it an invitation."

"..." Xi looked at Xiyue with a gentle smile on her face, hesitated for a moment and then shook her hand, "Okay."

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

It didn't take long for the two of them to climb onto the roof, which was not difficult for them.

"Miss Xiyue." Xi looked at Xiyue who seemed to be sitting next to her just to see the stars, and suddenly said, "If you want me to sleep, I'm sorry, I really don't want to sleep, not at all."

"Are you scared?" Xiyue turned her head and looked at Xi, "Nian told me a little bit, and I also know a little bit about your affairs, so are you not sleeping because you are scared?"

"...Yes." Xi nodded, "I'm afraid that I will see Him in my dream. I'm afraid of seeing another "me"... Uh! Miss Xiyue!"

Just as Xi was speaking, Xiyue suddenly pulled Xi into her arms, like holding a child, and let Xi sit on her lap.

"It's okay, it's okay." Xiyue stroked Xi's hair, and her gentle voice sounded in Xi's ears, "I promise you, no one can hurt you, and nothing can touch you."

"Sleep well, child. You are very tired." As Xiyue spoke, the surroundings were gradually dyed with a light blue color. Even the noisy noise caused by the nightlife around was dissipated at this moment.

"Hmm..." The gentle sound of waves rang in Xi's ears, and an inexplicable sense of security began to emerge in Xi's heart after a long time.

Gradually, Xi's eyelids became heavy, and Xi closed his eyes for the first time in a long time. His originally tense spirit became relaxed at this moment.

"Good boy, I hope you have a good sleep." This was the last voice Xi heard before falling asleep, and the tone was full of tenderness.

Chapter 168: Hunting Invitation

The sun's rays shine through the clouds and fall on the quiet and peaceful town at this moment.

“Hmm…” Xi opened his eyes dazedly and looked around hazily. He would never show such an unguarded expression in the past.

But today, the rare good sleep allowed Xi's extremely tense spirit, which had not rested for a long time, to finally get a moment of rest.

Then, her somewhat sluggish nerves finally allowed Xi to sort out the current situation, and she could now feel that she was still in someone's arms.

"Hmm, I'm sorry, Xiyue..." Xiyue hurriedly wanted to apologize, but found that there seemed to be something wrong with the joy in front of her. After careful observation, she found that the one in front of her seemed to be just a clone?

"Is it just a clone..." Xi looked at the water clone of Xiyue in front of him. After realizing that the person hugging him now was not Xiyue herself, Xi suddenly felt a strange sense of loss in his heart.

"Are you awake?" Just when Xi was feeling a little lost, Xiyue's gentle voice suddenly came from behind, "How did you sleep?"

"Hmm!" Xi was frightened again by the sudden sound of Xiyue behind him. He quickly stood up and looked at Xiyue who appeared behind him without knowing when. "Xiyue...Miss, good morning."

"Yeah." Xiyue found that Xi was frightened by herself again, and said apologetically, "Are you not used to this?"

"Yeah." Xi nodded. As a fragment of the giant beast, she rarely encountered people in her life who could walk up behind her silently, or even could only be discovered when they made a sound.

Then, Xi thought of another question, "What time is it now?"

"It's only eight o'clock in the morning now." Xiyue looked at Xi and asked with a smile on her face, "How was it? How did you sleep?"

"I slept...very well." Xi looked at the smile on Xiyue's face for a while before replying softly.

To be honest, Xi hasn't slept for a long time, let alone had a good sleep like last night.

When she realized that she would eventually return to her original form, when she saw another "self" in her dream for the first time, she could no longer sleep.

Even though Nian told Xi her plan, she did not agree. How could the clone rebel against the original?

She was afraid of seeing another "self" in her dreams. As for why she didn't sleep, Xi just thought that if she didn't sleep, she would not see another "self" again.

In this way, perhaps I can be further away from that moment, or enter death peacefully without knowing anything?

In fact, to put it bluntly, these are just escapes. If it weren't for escape, Xi wouldn't have stayed in the forest and painted the forest countless times.

If it wasn't for escape, Xi wouldn't have endured the mental exhaustion and gone without sleep for hundreds of years, and the only reason was the fear of having nightmares.

"Did you have a nightmare?" Xiyue pulled the thoughtful Xi into her arms and stroked his back. "Don't worry, just like I promised last night, no one can hurt you, and no one can touch you."

"All you need to do is sleep well and don't worry about anything."

"No." Xi shook her head, her hands unconsciously hugged Xiyue's waist, her head resting on Xiyue's heart, "I didn't have a nightmare, I slept well."

The more she recalled last night's sleep, the stronger the sense of security in Xi's heart became. The clear sound of the waves could be heard in her ears. She didn't need to worry about anything. She knew that someone would protect her, someone would protect her rest at this moment.

Yes, Xi had a good sleep, a rare good sleep. Although there were no sweet dreams, what was more important to Xi was that there were no nightmares. It was a good sleep that he had not had for a long time.

Although these few hours of sleep were insignificant compared to the hundreds of years she had gone without sleep, perhaps she would be able to have such sleep in the future?

"Huh... I feel inexplicably relieved." Xi leaned in Xiyue's arms, and the gentle voice was still in her ears, and the sense of relief in her heart was still so sufficient.

[Crack! 】

Just when Xi was leaning on Xiyue's arms, a snapping sound suddenly rang in her ears. Xi's body stiffened, and she suddenly realized that she seemed to have ignored the biggest comedian.

"Nian~~" Xiyue had a smile on her face as she looked at a hand with a big fiery red flower on it, holding a cell phone, under the eaves in front of her. The clicking sound just now was obviously coming from the cell phone.

As for who that person is, isn’t that big fiery red flowery arm obvious enough?

After hearing Xiye's voice, Nian leaned out his head with a smile on his face and looked at Xiyue, or rather, he was looking at Xi who was stiff in Xiyue's arms.

"Ahem~" Even though he was caught, he didn't look embarrassed at all. He just coughed lightly a few times to ease the awkward atmosphere.

Then Nian put on a playful smile and looked at Xi, pretending to appreciate the photo he had just taken: "Oh, what a beautiful picture~"

"Well, it just so happens that Miss Xiyue's name also has a "Xi", so why don't you just call Xiyue "Mom"..."

Before Nian finished his words, Xi had already shot out from Xiyue's arms, grabbed a big red sword from the side, and slashed at Nian.

"Shut up!"
