Asura of Tomorrow's Ark

"Actually, I'm quite looking forward to you being killed by that thing." The man smacked his mouth and said.

"Maybe there will be one day." Kristen was noncommittal.

This person...this AI left over from a previous civilization has an extremely contradictory and twisted attitude toward Terra's existing civilization.

On the one hand, he wished that the current Terran civilization would be destroyed immediately, but on the other hand, he did not hesitate to lend a helping hand to them. Even now, the other party is still acting based on saving the world.

Perhaps in the eyes of this advanced AI named Trevor Friston, they are just a group of parasites living on Terra. It doesn't matter if they all die, but the planet cannot be destroyed.

In short, they are cooperating on this twisted relationship.

After hearing no further harassment from Trevor for a few seconds, Kristen turned to the next page of the report.

This is an irregular report given to her by the director of the Ecology Department. It is a report on Originium Exposure. It is intended to study the contact between biological individuals or groups, including humans, and the natural environment. Among them, Originium has an impact on the entire ecosystem, Even the impact on life forms is a top priority.

Around the beginning of this year, a report submitted by a member of the Scientific Expedition Section who returned from Sami attracted the attention of multiple departments. Because of his special condition, that member has been locked up in the ecological park of the Ecology Section and is not allowed to go out. , the Ecological Department and the Structural Department jointly provide treatment for it.

However, after studying for so long, they gained almost nothing.

An infected person...should be an infected person, right?How on earth is it possible to maintain a 0.7% somatic cell fusion rate even when the crystal density of the Blood Source Stone reaches 0u/L?

This kind of blood crystal density... no one would be surprised if she could explode at any time, but she is still alive and kicking around for more than half a year, and there is nothing strange... From the Ecology Department The director almost went crazy because of this.

This was not the direction of Kristen's research. She could not make any useful suggestions and could only put the report aside.

"Wait! Let me take a look at the report just now."

At this time, Trevor suddenly spoke up to stop Kristen.

"Aren't you not interested in these?"

Saying this, Kristen picked up the report that she had thrown aside.

As for why Trevor doesn't do it himself...because he is now in a form similar to a holographic projection that can communicate, but cannot make direct contact.

The mechanical body that Kristen had specially prepared for him and obtained from the Melander Foundation had been destroyed last month. He was still unwilling to reveal what happened to him.

If you can't get a second body of that level in a short period of time, you can only use holographic projection to get rid of it first.

"This, Sammy...the anomaly in the northernmost part of the continent has been eliminated?" Trevor asked, pointing to an insignificant line on the report.

"Are you talking about the evil spirits in Beiyuan? Director Mariam of the Scientific Expedition Section has confirmed this news. The influence of the evil spirits has indeed disappeared, but the special environment there still exists."

"Without the demon as a buffer, the situation between Sami and Ursus has become more tense, and a new round of war is likely to break out. Our members there have basically been expelled back, and we cannot confirm more detailed conditions. "

After briefly introducing the situation, Kristen asked, "What, is there any problem?"

"Interesting...how was the problem over there solved? And who solved it? What was found deep in that ice sheet?" Trevor asked, squinting his eyes.

Kristen shook her head, "Unfortunately, the scientific examiner lost consciousness at the most critical moment. She didn't know what happened in the end. She only knew... that there was a kind of geometric creature living there. A tiny insect, suspected to be the true form of an evil spirit."

"In the end, all this should be solved by the two snow priests of Sami and two warlocks from Leitania."

"Snow Priest? Warlock?" Trevor sneered, "That was a doomsday disaster that even we couldn't solve and could only barely control... It's really interesting..."

"However, if the problem there is really completely solved, then you can cheer. In the extreme north of the continent, you can find a natural star gate, but... hahaha, even if civilization is destroyed, you will not see it. You have to be able to build a device that can pass through the star gate." Trevor laughed wildly.

Kristen ignored the crazy Trevor and just silently recorded what he said.

Although I can't understand what a star gate is, as long as the record can be preserved, it will be useful one day.

After Trevor calmed down, Kristen asked, "So what level of disaster are we facing this time?"

Trevor's face darkened, and he was silent for a while before replying, "If everything goes well, it will only be a catastrophic level. If it is the worst case scenario...then it will be the same doomsday level."

Hearing this, Kristen nodded silently.

Even in the best case scenario, the catastrophic disasters identified by previous civilizations... seem not to be something they can withstand.

Silently ending the topic, Kristen turned to the next report.

But when she saw the lines on the report clearly, it was Kristen's turn to darken.

"Project Horizon Arclight was approved, and you don't seem happy."

The report contained a plan called 'Horizon Arc', with the official seal of the Ministry of National Defense on it, which meant that her plan was recognized by the Ministry of National Defense and would receive support from the Ministry of Defense.

"...It's nothing, I just feel that this country is really hopeless."

Putting away the plan book, Kristen said silently.

As long as some messy plans are packaged as weapons development, they can get strong support from the Ministry of Defense... This kind of thing is simply ridiculous!

PS. After looking at Sami Meat Pigeon, it seems that the back stabbing in the third volume was not very serious. Except for the star gate in the deepest part of the ice sheet, which was not known at first, it seems that it can barely be faced.

Chapter 7 Tremont City

After reaching a consensus with the Ubika sisters, the next thing Li Ang had to do was to wait patiently. After arriving in Tremont City, he could negotiate a business deal with the Astrology Association through their family's channels.

After that, it’s time to enjoy this rare journey.

Although Li Ang has traveled many times, he usually has various special reasons. Although he is not racing against time, he does not have so much time to waste on the road, slowly and leisurely moving forward with large caravans.

This was the first time for Li Ang to experience such an orthodox way of traveling.

Casimir is located in the northeastern part of Colombia. Apart from Bolivar, which is closely related to Colombia, Casimir is the closest to Colombia. The business exchanges between the two countries are actually quite frequent.

The Ubica sisters chose a well-known local chamber of commerce. They have been doing business with Colombia for more than ten years, and their reputation and credibility are pretty good.

After paying a large commission, Li Ang and his party were arranged by the Chamber of Commerce on a small frigate accompanying the caravan, and there were only two rooms in total.

There was no other way, so Leon could only squeeze in with Adele Rosemary and make a bed on the floor in the palm-sized room.

This slow and leisurely way of progress is quite interesting at first. You can see the slowly changing scenery outside the window, and from time to time you can see some very rare wild animals from a distance.

But after the fresh energy wore off, this slow and leisurely progress became nothing but torture.

Except for the young Rosemary, the other natives of Terra all looked as if they were accustomed to it. Let’s not mention the Ubika sisters for now. Adele used this method many times during field trips before. During the trip, Li Ang was the only one who felt uncomfortable in the end.

Obviously when he was picked up by Adele and brought all the way back to Brandenburg, he didn't feel so bored... Probably at that time, Leon had been trying his best to adapt to the world without light. , I don’t have the energy to pay attention to anything other than that...

In this boring environment, chatting became their only way to pass the time.

After chatting for a while, Li Ang discovered that although their current treatment was not at the top level, it was still quite good.

Sometimes when you encounter a chamber of commerce that has little reputation and credibility and charges very cheap fees, you may turn into a robber on the way and directly kill the passengers and feast on them.

Sometimes the Chamber of Commerce does not trust the passengers, fearing that they are agents of the plunderers in the wasteland. Even if they accept the deal, they will lock the passengers in their rooms during the trip and will not allow them to go out. To be more strict, even Passengers will also be searched and communication tools confiscated.

In short, it was like fighting with a wolf, and the situation they described was an eye-opener for Li Ang.

"If the environment is so bad, then why does the Chamber of Commerce still do this kind of business? Compared with the profits brought by their batch of goods, this amount of money is actually not worth mentioning at all, right?"

Although the fees paid by Xingji and the others were high, they could barely afford to buy a fairly good motorcycle, which was not even a fraction of what the caravan used to transport goods.

It's already like this, it's really strange that they still accept this kind of passenger transport business.

"Actually, this has nothing to do with the Chamber of Commerce itself... This is basically because the caravan leader wants to make extra money. Over time, this has become the consensus of most chambers of commerce. As long as no lives are lost, the impact will be When it comes to the reputation of the Chamber of Commerce, just do whatever the team leader wants."

"It turns out it's a private job...then it's not surprising."

Li Ang nodded, and then poked Rosemary's little face in his arms, "So, we still have the glory of Little Rosemary?"

Rosemary raised her head and looked at Li Ang doubtfully, then twisted her body and changed into a more comfortable position.

Ever since Li Ang used the reverse wave of killing intent to eliminate the unreasonable vigilance in Rosemary's heart, the child has become quite attached to him.

Even Li Ang himself didn't notice that maybe because of his racial characteristics, his body temperature was slightly lower than that of other races. In this hot and unbearable midsummer season, this kind of physique is quite popular among children.

The lovely rosemary is very popular. When they didn't know the truth, several women in the team tried to take back rosemary from Li Ang's clutches, but unfortunately, Li Ang didn't even do anything. They were defeated one after another.

In the end, Adele, who was still a little unhappy, got into Li Ang's arms and conducted some tests herself before revealing the final answer.

A crime that is not a war, a crime that is not a war. It is a pity that none of them can lower the temperature of the Origin Stone skill, otherwise they can really try to compete with Li Ang.

80% of their teammates are women, and there are even children like Rosemary. In the eyes of the caravan, the threat is naturally reduced to a minimum, so their management is also quite loose, and there are basically no restrictions on their activities.

After a few days of getting along, Rosemary gradually became familiar with these two kind big sisters.

However, Rosemary still doesn't like to talk. She only smiles slightly when she is happy.

If Rosemary hadn't personally told Li Ang that she wanted him to hug her, Li Ang would have even suspected that Rosemary had suffered any damage during the experiment, causing her language function to be impaired.

Fortunately, this is just Li Ang's unnecessary worry. Rosemary just has too many gaps in her memory and has a slightly autistic personality. If this trip to the Rhine Life can cure Rosemary, then she will definitely be healthy. continue to grow.

The caravan gradually arrived in Colombia in this calm atmosphere, which took ten days.

There were many episodes in these ten days. For example, they also met the legendary plunderers. Of course, they only discovered the existence of each other from a long distance away. Those people would not risk their lives. Come and rob such a huge caravan.

After a face-to-face meeting, they evacuated on their own very wisely, which disappointed Elena who was eager to give it a try.

The caravan is only responsible for delivering them to a port city on the Colombian border, and they need to go to Tremont on their own.

This is a situation that Elena is familiar with. Even in a port city on the Colombian border, there is an office of Rhine Life. As the protégé of the director of the energy department, Elena still has this privilege.

The office specially sent people to the city of Tremont. Within Colombia and on the officially planned route, safety was guaranteed, and they would not be as stuck at every step as they were in the borderless wilderness.

But even so, by the time they arrived at Tremont, it was already the end of August.

After passing the customs in Tremont City, Elena ran to the front of the group, turned around, and said energetically,

“Welcome to Tremont, Columbia’s tech hub!”

Well... having said that, the group of them actually encountered a lot of trouble when they passed through the customs in Tremont City.

Think about it carefully, aren't all five of them infected?Wherever this is placed, it is an object that needs to be monitored closely.

As the most developed region in the entire Terra world, Tremont City has long used X-ray machines to identify infected people, unlike other regions that still use the primitive method of blood collection.

Even Li Ang's eyes would appear strange under the X-ray machine, and there was no way to hide them.

Leon and Adele enjoyed too many privileges in Casimir and even Dayan, and they had forgotten that there was a process of identifying the identities of infected people when entering the mobile city.

The Ubika sisters don't have to worry. Although they are infected, they also have a letter of guarantee issued by Rheinland Life and can enter Tremont City normally.

The same goes for Rosemary. She went to Rhine Life as a patient to receive treatment, and she also received the guarantee from Rhein Life.

But Leon and Adele are different. If they are marked as infected, it will definitely cause a lot of obstacles to their next actions.

Although Colombia has a relatively mild attitude towards infected people, it only looks at the cheap labor of infected people. Maybe those mobile cities being built will welcome infected people, but where are they now?Tremon City is the scientific research center of the entire Colombia. Countless people are squeezing their heads to get in. How can they welcome disgusting infected people?

Therefore, Li Ang made some manipulations with the customs X-ray machine, thinking that it caused some minor malfunctions.

Fortunately, Elena understood what Li Ang meant, and at her urging, the customs had to activate the original blood analysis plan.

This is exactly what Li Ang expected.

Li Ang separated out the excess Originium crystals from his and Adele's blood samples and reduced them to the level of normal people.

With the X-ray machine as an inspection method, these customs employees rarely conduct close searches anymore. In addition, with such a large group of people related to Rhine Life, they do not want to offend anyone.

After the results of the blood sample analysis came out, they hastily identified the two as non-infected persons and issued temporary passes to Li Ang and Adele.

It wasn't until the group of them were far away from the customs that Elena couldn't hold back her curiosity and lowered her voice and asked, "Li Ang Li Ang, how did you do it? Sister Adele...she He must also be an infected person, right?”

Because of the lovely mascot Rosemary, the Ubika sisters have become quite familiar with them in more than ten days. The older sister Xingji still retains a trace of elegance and politeness belonging to the eldest lady, while the noisy younger sister does not. So many concerns.

"This is a special ability of mine that can control some tiny Originium particles."

Li Ang thought for a while and felt that there was nothing to hide, so he satisfied Elena's curiosity, "I just used this method to separate the Originium crystals in the blood samples. As long as the final test result is the density of the Originium crystals in the blood, Below the standard value, they will consider you a non-infected person.”

"I see..." Elena nodded understandingly.

When most people learn this, her curiosity should have been satisfied, but as a researcher, Elena's thinking is obviously more flexible, and she soon realized the deeper uses of this ability.

"So, wouldn't your ability be able to treat...no, control ore disease?"

The energy department is a department that specializes in dealing with origin stones. It has dealt with a lot, so it naturally has a lot of understanding of ore disease.

Not to mention that after being infected with oriosis, Elena specifically asked her colleagues in the structural department for advice. She was considered a semi-expert in this field and knew the mechanism of oriosis very well.

Hemodialysis is indeed a common method to control oriopathy, but the problem is... the existing technology cannot accurately separate the Originium crystals in the blood, and can only rely on repeated accumulation, which will be damaged after a long time. It places a severe strain on body functions.

Li Ang's special ability solves this problem very well.

"It's possible, but this is a special ability similar to the talent of the people of the gods, and it is impossible for others to learn it."

Li Ang shook his head and killed the thought that had just been born in Elena's heart.

"That's it..."

Hope was dashed, and Elena looked a little downcast.
