Poseidon in Tomorrow's Ark

"Oh, that sounds good." Xiyue looked at the lion scorpion and smiled, then followed up on the lion scorpion's words and asked, "So, what is this wandering club for?"

After getting Xiyue's response, Scorpion was obviously relieved and continued to introduce: "This is a place for everyone in Rhodes Island to rest. It is also a gathering place for operators who like to hang out in Rhodes Island after work."

“Because everyone in Rhode Island does interesting things while they’re working, and we hang out in Rhode Island after work and come back here to share.”

"To put it bluntly, it's just a place to slack off~" The doctor spread his hands aside and said, "It's said to be after work, but it's actually slacking off during work~"

"Hmm..." The lion turned his face away in embarrassment after being humiliated by the doctor. "There are still some people who are more serious, right?"

"Then little scorpion lion~" The doctor walked forward and put his hands on the scorpion lion's shoulders, "Then look into my eyes and tell me this afternoon, for example, did Ethan or Cross come over~"

"Woo!" The lion scorpion lowered his head shyly when the doctor stared at him like that. After hearing the doctor's question, the lion scorpion's face turned red. "Well, that Cross didn't come, but Ethan did... and stayed for a long time."

"I knew it~" The doctor shook his head helplessly, "I've caught you so many times, and you never change."

Although Ethan always had a good attitude when admitting his mistakes, it was obvious that it was of no use. He was the type of person who actively admitted his mistakes but refused to repent.

"Then do you want me to do it?" Xiyue stood behind the doctor and said leisurely, "Although I may not be able to do anything about Miss Cross, but I think I can still say a few words about Ethan~"

"Well, does Miss Xiyue know Ethan?" The doctor turned around and looked at Xiyue with some doubt, "I've never heard Ethan mention it before?"

"Well, I guess I know him." Xiyue nodded to the doctor, "But I think Ethan probably only knows me, but doesn't know me. That should be enough."

"If you don't listen to my advice, I can also call Patriot and ask him to give me some advice. I think the doctor should be able to help."

"...That's a really rough solution." The doctor looked at Xiyue and raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat off his forehead. "Just pull Patriot Senior over here. I'm sure Ethan will behave himself for a while, right?"

"But isn't that a bit too cruel?"

"I don't really want to go that far~" Xiyue smiled, "Of course, if the doctor really can't stand it anymore, I can consider it~"

"Well, I can consider it~" The doctor thought about it and nodded, with a sly smile on his face, "Well, use this as negotiation material, hehe, it will definitely be very useful~"

"Well, Doctor..." The lion scorpion poked the Doctor, "There is a very thick black aura wrapped around the Doctor..."

"Ahem." The doctor coughed lightly, "Don't worry, I definitely didn't have any bad thoughts just now~"

"You were just thinking bad things just now, weren't you?" The lion scorpion looked at the doctor and thought silently.

"Well, do you want to use Ethan's invisibility to do something?" Xiyue looked at the doctor, "But if it's on Rhodes Island, I hope it's not a prank on Kal'tsit."

"Alright, alright~" The doctor faced the two people's suspicious looks, clapped his hands, and walked aside, "Hey, Xiyue, I'm here to take revenge~"

"Revenge?" Xiyue tilted her head and looked at the doctor with some confusion, "What do you want to avenge... Oh, so it's this."

The doctor pulled out a box from under the table. The surface of the box had black and white grids on it. Then, the doctor opened the box and took out the chess pieces inside.

"It's been so long, you still want revenge?" Xiyue looked at the doctor, "What kind of gentleman is this? It's not too late to take revenge after ten years?"

"Hehe, I'm just sitting around doing nothing anyway~" The doctor stared at Xiyue, "I've been practicing hard for a while~"

"If the doctor wants~" Xiyue smiled, "Like you said, I'm just sitting around doing nothing."

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

"The lion scorpion looked at the doctor lying on the sofa and vomited his soul, "It feels like the doctor is about to die..."

"I don't want to either." The doctor replied weakly while lying on the sofa, "That kind of move simply leaves no room for survival. Xiyue, can't you just let it go?"

"Did you tell me not to let me win?" Xiyue smiled. "Well, you have no chance of winning this game against me."

"I don't believe it!" The doctor jumped up from the sofa, "I must have missed a step. I must get back at you!"

"Then I hope the doctor can do it one day." Xiyue smiled, stood up, tidied up the chessboard on the table, and put it back in its place.

"Okay, it's already this late, it's time to go back to bed." Xiyue touched the doctor's head, then looked at the lion scorpion, "Ms. Lion scorpion, remember to rest early too."

"Yeah." The lion scorpion nodded, "Ms. Xiyue and the doctor should also go to bed early."

"Yeah." Xiyue nodded and walked to the light switch, watching the scorpion pack up and walk out before turning off the light.

After a while, they soon reached the fork in the passage. The lion scorpion pointed to the other passage and said, "Uh, I'm going this way. See you later."

"Oh, by the way, I'm also very happy to meet Miss Xiyue. I also welcome Miss Xiyue to join the strolling club at any time. Goodbye!"

"Goodbye~" Xiyue waved her hand, and then continued to hold the doctor's hand and walk towards the doctor's room.

The doctor looked back at the fork in the road, then turned to look at Xiyue, muttering softly: "The child should not be behind, right?"

"Yeah." Xiyue nodded decisively, "She went back, of course she's not behind."

"Sure enough." The doctor looked at Xiyue, "When we were strolling in the club, Xiyue, you really could see the invisible lion scorpion, right?"

"Yeah." Xiyue nodded. "Her invisibility is of no use to me. I can always see her. What's wrong? What's the problem?"

"Then why did Xiyue say she didn't see it when we were strolling around just now?" The doctor looked at Xiyue curiously. When she saw Xiyue staring at the sofa, she guessed that Xiyue should be able to see it.

"Because the child doesn't want me to see it." Xiyue smiled, "The child looked at me with caution, she didn't want me to see it."

"For her, her invisibility is her most important trump card and her value. Naturally, she doesn't want to be seen through. So as long as she doesn't want to be seen, then I can't see her~"

"It's that simple?"

"What else?" Xiyue shrugged, "Do you need any other reason?"

"That seems to be the case." The doctor nodded. "There is no need for any more reasons to take other people's feelings into consideration."

——————Rhode Island·Medical Department·Afternoon Garden——————

This is the largest area inside Rhodes Island besides the power group and the research department, and it is an entire carefully maintained garden.

This garden is managed by many operators including the Perfumer, who make the entire garden feel like spring all year round, although it is impossible for flowers to bloom in every season.

However, perfumers will still place floral incense sticks made of fresh flowers on fake trees or other places to create a gentle floral scent at all times.

Its function is very simple, it can regulate the body and mind. According to research, if the patient can have a good mentality, then any disease can be delayed to a certain extent.

This even includes mineral disease, although the effect is minimal, but Rhodes Island is still willing to broadcast a large amount of money every quarter to maintain the garden.

On a walkway in the garden, Shining pushed Nightingale and followed Xiyue to a meadow.

Xiyue took off her shoes and placed them on the rack specially placed at the junction of the walkway and the lawn.

Then Xiyue walked onto the grass, felt the softness of the grass and nodded, then turned to Shining and said, "Let's go here, there's no one here right now."

"Yeah." Shining nodded, took off his shoes, hesitated for a moment, and then pushed the wheelchair onto the lawn.

"I hope Miss Perfumer won't blame me." Shining looked behind him apologetically at the lawn where marks had been left by the wheelchair.

"It's okay, I'll reply later, and I promise it will be the same as before." Xiyue smiled, then looked at Nightingale, "Okay, now it's time for the highlight of today."

"Come on, be careful." Xiyue half-knelt down with both hands raised and looked at Nightingale, "Don't be nervous, just like the last time we tested it."

"You've tried to stand up many times, and this time will be no exception."

This is not the first or second experiment like today's, but the progress has been a little frustrated. Due to muscle atrophy and toxin damage caused by long-term inability to exercise, Nightingale's lower limbs are almost numb.

Even if Xiyue gradually repaired the hidden injuries and removed the toxins during treatment, slow injuries like this were not easy to recover from, and it was not just that.

Since Nightingale's legs cannot be used due to chronic injuries caused by long-term inactivity, wouldn't the problem be solved by using some rough methods, such as directly reshaping a pair of legs like the Patriots did?

Yes, the problem of chronic injury and muscle atrophy has indeed been solved, but for Nightingale, the biggest problem in allowing her to recover and walk is not this.

The nightingale hasn't walked for a long time. Maybe it has even forgotten how to walk. This is not a problem that can be solved by simple and crude methods.

This has to be done slowly, through rehabilitation, so that Nightingale can learn to walk again.

"Yeah." Nightingale nodded, took a deep breath, supported both sides of my wheelchair with her hands, and stood up from the wheelchair with difficulty.

Xiyue held up both hands to prevent Nightingale from falling down due to loss of strength caused by other reasons, but she did not provide any direct support.

Shining, who was holding the wheelchair, had some worry in his eyes, but he also did not come over to help Nightingale who was standing up with difficulty.

"...Huh." Just like many times before, Nightingale stood on the ground with her own feet again, personally feeling the tingling sensation coming from under her feet. Just as an excited smile appeared on Nightingale's face, she lost her strength and fell into Xiyue's arms.

"It's okay~" Xiyue touched Nightingale's head, and then took Nightingale's hand, "Stand firm again, just like before."

"Yeah." There was no panic on Nightingale's face. She had experienced this situation many times in her previous attempts. Soon, Nightingale stood up again on her own.

"Come." Xiyue retreated slightly, pulling Nightingale's body with her arm, "Let's go~"

Nightingale nodded, took another deep breath, raised one foot, and used the other foot to support her body. She put one foot on the ground and leaned forward. Finally, she lifted the foot that was supporting her and walked to the same position.

"Great~" Xiyue responded to the smile on Nightingale's face, and looked at Shining who was following behind Nightingale with a smiling look.

The two looked at each other's smiles, and then Xiyue looked at Nightingale again and said to the box, "Come on, it's not over yet~"

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

Xiyue and Shining leaned against the fake tree, watching the nightingale who was still trying to walk. Now the nightingale no longer needed anyone's help and could only take one or two steps.

Although I would fall down from time to time due to sudden weakness in my legs, I would be able to stand up quickly.

Even so, the smile on Nightingale's face never ceased. She was finally able to feel the hardness of the earth again.

"Doctor Xiyue, is this really okay?" Compared to the smiling Xiyue, Shining still had some worry in his eyes as he looked at Nightingale who kept falling, "Are we just going to stand here and watch?"

"Why else do you think I was here with you two on the grass?" Xiyue stepped on the grass under her feet, "Don't worry, it won't get damaged."

"Miss Nightingale knows how to protect herself when she falls. She also needs to learn to walk on her own."

"Yeah." Shining nodded hesitantly. After thinking about it, I took out my phone and started recording.

"Are you going to keep a souvenir?" Xiyue glanced at Shining, "Well, that's a good idea."

"I think Lin Guang will be very touched when he sees this scene." Shining smiled, "It's just a pity that Lin Guang has already gone on a mission."

"Then you can record it, right?" Xiyue smiled and patted Shining's shoulder. "Then we just need to wait for Miss Nightingale to gradually adapt and remember what to do."

"I think this process will be quick." Shining nodded, staring at Nightingale intently, "At least now she won't be trapped by herself."

Chapter 202: Medical Department Gathering

"Indeed." Xiyue nodded. "After getting rid of the wheelchair, the child's personality should become much more cheerful."

"However, this aspect still requires you and Lin Guang to work harder."

"I understand." Shining nodded, then looked at the wheelchair beside him, "I guess this shouldn't be needed anymore, right?"

"Let's stay for a while." Xiyue shook her head. "She has just recovered. It's better not to let Miss Nightingale walk for too long."

"When Miss Nightingale's walking posture is no longer awkward or she no longer becomes suddenly weak, we can consider removing her."

"I understand." Shining nodded, then checked the video on his phone and turned it off after confirming that the length was about right.

Afterwards, Shining opened the chat software and sent the video directly to Lin Guang, but it seemed that Lin Guang was out of communication range. There was a small circle next to the video sent by Shining, which kept spinning.

Shining was not surprised to see this phenomenon, because a few days ago, Lin Guang told her that he might not be able to contact her in the next few days and he had to go to a far place.

However, when Lin Guang arrives near a mobile city or there is a signal tower built by a mobile city in the place where Lin Guang is heading, Lin Guang should be able to receive the signal.

"How was it? Did you have fun?" Xiyue looked at Nightingale, who insisted on walking forward even though his walking posture was still a little awkward and stiff.

"Yeah." Nightingale nodded happily, "I feel very relaxed now."

"But you still need some time to recuperate." Xiyue smiled, "It's getting late now, maybe you would like some afternoon tea?"

"Yeah." Nightingale nodded, and after thinking for a while, she tentatively said, "Can I walk over there? I don't really want to sit in a wheelchair anymore."

"Is that so?" Xiyue thought about the distance from the garden to the cafeteria. After thinking for a moment, "I'm not sure, but then again, it's better than going directly to the cafeteria..."

Xiyue seemed to have thought of something and looked at Nightingale: "Miss Nightingale, are you interested in stopping by the medical department's lounge on the way? Everyone is still looking forward to your recovery."

Nightingale nodded without thinking: "Well, Dr. Gavial has been paying close attention to this these days, and I want to tell them too."

——————Rhode Island·Medical Department·Lounge——————

"Well, it seems that Xiyue didn't come to punch in this afternoon." Javier swung the chair, and the degree of shaking was such that even if the chair and the person fell to the ground in the next second, it would not be a strange thing.

"Dr. Gavial, this is very dangerous." Ansel came back from outside with a pile of bandages and looked at Gavial who was rocking in the chair.

"Is there anything I need to be concerned about?" Javier waved his hand. "By the way, Ansel, when you were making your rounds in the ward, did you notice if Doctor Xiyue came over?"

"Doctor Xiyue?" Ansel thought for a moment and shook his head. "No, I just came back from the ward and didn't see Miss Xiyue, nor any of Miss Xiyue's clones."

"I think Miss Xiyue didn't come today."

"Well, it seems that we can really rest today." Javier nodded. Although everyone in the medical department has the habit of working overtime, Xiyue's overtime is really too intense.

Every time, one person and a bunch of clones are in charge of a ward, which really makes people worry about Miss Xiyue's physical condition, and even more worried about her mental condition.

"Good afternoon, everyone?" Nightingale's voice suddenly came from the door. After hearing Nightingale's voice, Ansel and Javier immediately looked towards the door.

Gavier subconsciously said: "Nightingale, why are you here, get out of the way..."

"Hey!!!" Gavial looked at Nightingale who walked in step by step, holding onto the desk.
