Walk through the structure of the Ark and wander on the continent of Terra

Sitting on the bridge, honking the whistle to bid farewell to the Tribunal and the Punishment Army, Alpha looked at the still thick dark clouds in the distance with a not relaxed expression on his face.

105. Gathering sights

Perhaps, because of its great tranquility and long-term ruin, Iberia has become a borderland forgotten by many countries on this land.But the fact is not always the case. Iberia is still one of the great powers of Terra Continent. Nowadays, Iberia is constantly declining. Although Iberia will not arouse the interest of other great powers due to its geography and the challenge of facing the sea, countries still maintain their interest in this place. deserved attention.

In the past, Alpha's super-standard weapons were only used under small-scale tactical conditions, especially the microwave dismantling bomb. The only full-power explosion was in the Ambrosio Monastery deep in the desert far away from the human habitation. erupted nearby.

In the beginning, neither the weapons with powerful destructive power nor the force displayed by Alpha itself were enough to attract the attention of any country. Compared with the top powerhouses that have appeared on this land, what Alpha showed The power is not that transcendent.And she is a strong person who has just the right amount of power, but does not belong to any one great power. She is willing to circulate among countries and promote the development of industry and commerce. All countries are willing to see her.

Not belonging to any great power means that if she wants to continue to maintain her profits, she must continue to maintain her neutral attitude, so that she can use the right amount of power to gain benefits from various countries.

But as she started from Casimir, she began to be deeply involved in various events, and gradually began to attract the attention of the intelligence agencies of various countries.Although the intelligence was fragmented, the close strategic partnership between Alpha, the land cruiser registered as the Life Star, and Rhode Island was on the surface.

千',寻"免'!费;,,!"小,;!说'!.:'裙'":2.;5.!'."5'?,5'9"::5!3!0!'?0　　而这两年来，发生的一些爆炸性新闻，诸如矿石病新型特效药和治疗方案的公布、卡西米尔的特锦赛政变事件、汐斯塔音乐节上巨兽现身、甚至谢拉格国内局势的剧变等等，都有着罗德岛的身影，而且都是以那艘生命之星号作为媒介延伸的。

No matter how slow the intelligence department is, no matter how lazy the intelligence department is to pay attention to Rhodes Island, after linking these events together, they will become somewhat interested in this emerging mysterious existence.

Then, Siesta suddenly announced the volcano development plan that was regarded as a fantasy by various countries at first. Then various reports showed that an unmanned mechanical swarm controlled by an unknown center was actually advancing Siesta. Transformation activity of Tower Volcano.It's just that those robots stopped expanding after they expanded to a certain extent. This led most intelligence organizations to believe that this was caused by the legacy of the ancestors that these machines relied on reaching their operating limits.

Although a practical heritage of ancestors is a valuable asset for any country, the current location of Siesta and their delicate relationship with Colombia, Sargon, Minoans and other countries, and its geographical location.The major powers, each with their own problems, only increased their efforts to infiltrate and buy intelligence, but did not take any further action.

And when Alpha single-handedly separated the sea at Glenfalot, the intelligence agencies of various countries, or to be more precise, almost all the intelligence agencies on this land, no matter who they belonged to, realized in horror , this mysterious existence that almost uses a code name to walk on this land does not seem to be the emerging capitalist who possesses powerful Origin Stone skills and has mastered some of the technological heritage of the ancestors as previously assessed.

After all, Glenfalot was under strict martial law at the time, and the intelligence investigated by various countries was basically based on the oral accounts of the Penal Service soldiers and local residents they bribed.By the time the information reached the rear, Alpha had already divided the sea to create a passage from Granfalo to the Eye of Iberia, and now Alpha had boiled the entire sea with a wave of his hand, burning countless low-level people to death. Hai Hei forced the leader of Hai Hei to appear, and then she cut the sea with her sword, and defeated Hai Hei with her own power.Such great power and feats, even for the Witch-King of Leitania who ascended to the throne of God in a mortal body, seemed to be unable to achieve it easily.This is basically a living god.

Then they suddenly realized that the people in Rhode Island were so lucky that they actually picked up a god to guard them.

At this time, the intelligence agencies of various countries have not gotten used to this feeling, but I believe they will get used to it later.

……

In the Presidential Palace, Capital District of Colombia, in the Office of the Vice President, a Department of Defense official hurriedly presented a document report to the Vice President who was sitting behind his desk.

The Vice President smiled and picked up the report, opened it in front of him, and slowly browsed the document. The posture he held the report in was just enough to make the man standing on his shoulders wear a dignified suit and have an exaggerated hanging on his chest. The "Feathered Beast" of the badge can also see the full report.

The sound of paper turning was endless, until the feathered beast standing on his shoulder suddenly tapped him with its wings. The vice president knew that it meant to let him turn back the page.

So the Vice President turned back to the page Yumon wanted to see. On that page, attached was a black and white photo taken with a miniature spy camera. The subject of the photo was a group of people, several of whom were wearing unknown models. Soldiers in power armor were guarding the periphery of the group of people with strange weapons. Among the people surrounded by them, there was one who looked very weak. His flowing hair was dotted with conch shells around his ears, and there were several pairs of ear fins on his head. The young girl turned her head and inadvertently looked in the direction of the person who took the picture.

"Do you have any information about this girl?" The president asked the senior official of the Ministry of National Defense without hesitation. However, what he got was an extremely helpless expression from the official.

"There is no evidence that such an Agor ever existed on this land, and the Intelligence Bureau did not find any records related to her. But the information passed by the spies showed that the Iberian authorities were mainly involved in that incident. The force, and the Rhode Islanders involved, rallied around her and called her 'Alpha.'"

"Alpha, Alpha again..."

"Intelligence agencies are already doing their best to detect the information behind this code name."

"Is there any progress?"

"..." The officer was silent for a moment, thinking about the next suitable words, "We have found so many things that we don't know which ones are really closely related to her."

"Then continue to investigate and establish a special project. The President's Office will be directly responsible for this matter."

"Yes!" The officer turned and left. The commander, who was aroused with curiosity, lowered his head again and looked at the photo of the spy who risked his life to bring him out of Iberia, and looked at the girl who was full of mysteries.

Wait a minute, didn't the girl just look like she didn't notice the spy filming her?

"President, why do I think that the girl I saw just now has a calmer expression..." The vice president's voice was trembling. In his memory, the girl in the photo just now looked calm. Didn't notice any strange expression.But now, in this printed black and white photo, the girl is clearly smiling kindly at the commander on her shoulder.

"!" For a moment, the Vice President's office fell into an eerie silence, as if an icy wave that could kill people had poured into this spacious office.

106. A price that Muir Seth could not refuse

"I really didn't expect that the spy photo that you deliberately allowed to be leaked was actually presented to the desk of the President of Colombia." On the same day that the President of Colombia was shocked, after dinner, in In the experimental module office of the Life Star, Alpha found Seria with a cup of tea.

"You can't really see the person who is looking at the photo through your own photo." Seria, who was busy between Excel spreadsheets and professional analysis software, raised her head with a look on her face. Although I can't believe it, I still With an awkward expression that he chose to believe, he looked at the old friend in front of him.

"A specific photo is a symbol that has a deeper relationship than its name, and what it attempts to observe is me. What is left on the photosensitive film, since it is my image, is also the silhouette of my information. I Of course, through the photos, I can see the people who are looking at my photos.”

Ceria had an expression of surprise at being so powerful, but she quickly calmed down. Alpha had done so many shocking things in front of her that she was actually a little numb.

"Rather than how the commander and his deputies discussed specific things like you, I'm more curious about another thing." Ceria put down the mechanical keyboard that was so enjoyable to use, and used her tail to move from the desk. He took his own coffee cup from under the coffee machine at the other end.

"what?"

"I want to know more about whether the president of Colombia is really the bird standing on the shoulders of the vice president." Ceria took a sip of coffee. In fact, there were not many people on the Star of Life who were used to drinking coffee. , and the several commonly used drinks stored on the car were originally reserved for 50 people on a three-month deep sand voyage.And unlike the fruit juice powder that is loved by friends and given away a lot, this instant drink has an average taste and not many people drink it.After knowing these reasons, Ceria was unexpectedly interested in this very bland desert-made coffee. According to her, she really enjoyed the feeling of tasting another world with her tongue.

"You guessed it right. It looks like the bird is the Vice President's pendant, but in the Vice President's office, He is the one who really speaks and makes the decisions."

"That would be interesting. Is he the beast master, or some god?"

"No, no, no, he is an even more ancient thing, closely connected with the ancestors who lived thousands of years ago."

Hearing this statement, Ceria nodded without surprise, "After hearing what you said before, I really had such a conjecture. However, an existence like him can take the initiative to take charge of Colombia. A rising power must have some purpose, right?"

"Who knows." Alpha smiled and did not give a direct answer.

"We will always know, right." Ceria didn't care whether she could get the answer directly or not. The level of intelligence revealed by Alpha now was enough to uncover a lot of things from it.

"Indeed." The tea cup in Alpha's hand and the coffee cup in Ceria's hand collided lightly, "Cheers!"

"Speaking of which, Ceria, there is something I want you to help me with."

"what's up?"

"Have you read the project plan for the last sub-item of the first phase of the volcano project?"

Ceria nodded. Because the original idea of ​​the volcano project was related to her, Ceria had been following up on the progress of the related projects. Naturally, she had browsed all the main documents. She still remembered what Alpha was referring to. This sub-project is to transform the volcanic crater Tianchi, which has stopped cooling, into a huge ecological dome for ecological research or food cultivation.

"I want you to help me dig someone out. Or if you're not in a hurry to dig someone out, you can just invite her over."

"Wait a minute, let me guess, you're not poaching Mulseth here."

"Exactly." Alpha clapped his hands happily for Seria's instant understanding, and then saw her somewhat troubled expression.

Ceria nodded first, then shook her head, "Miles, I and Kristen founded Rhine Life together. If she also left Rhine..." Celia, who had already deteriorated, After choosing to part ways with Rhine Life, how many memories of former friends will be left in the end? Looking back, it is indeed a bit sad.

"But I think it might be a good thing for Mulseth if she can come and work for you." Ceria recalled that good friend. At first, she was just a talented person, but she was very worried about her future. An ordinary college graduate who is full of confusion and weak as water, comes from a mysterious ethnic group with few members. In the life of Rhine that gradually developed later, this somewhat lively and out-of-the-box elf, although smooth, is always a little lonely...

"I can write an invitation letter for you, or I can go to Tremont to find her in person, but..."

"but what?"

"After all, she is the director of Rhine, and the founder of Rhine, an outstanding young scientist in Colombia, Alpha. Rhine Life is a technology company in this land that has the most cutting-edge technology and scientific research resources. If you want to poach her, you have to pay. It's quite a price." Of course, Ceria knew that Alpha could easily take out something that could be called a priceless treasure on this land. For all scientific researchers, her existence itself is The biggest and most priceless wealth, not to mention that she may be the best laboratory owner on this earth, but Ceria felt that she still had to make these words clear to her.

"Of course I know that I will offer more than one price she can't refuse. And I'm not in a hurry to poach someone from the beginning. I invite her to come to Siesta first. Wouldn't it be pretty good?"

As he spoke, Alpha took out a small glass ball from the void. In the glass ball, there was a small lamp, a small ball of soil, and a plant.It looks like an ecological ball, but it does not contain a complete ecosystem element. There is no consumer structure in it. It is just a simple plant container.The base of the crystal ball is a small box containing several seed-like things.

"This is?"

"The Sky Garden Agricultural Technology Department has bred rice that can adapt to the microgravity environment of space and grow scions normally in space orbital farms."

"!" Ceria was shocked. Before this, Alpha had never brought out such a living life from another world.As for a plant that can truly grow healthily in the microgravity and high-radiation environment of space, this is definitely a price Muir Seth cannot refuse.

"I'll leave immediately and go see her in person."

"Let Ashes go with you. Although she is not familiar with Colombia, she is familiar with it better than anyone else." Alpha said with a smile, "Put on your consciousness connection device. If you need anything, call me and I will be there. As for those who enter Colombia. I will also help you arrange it, but I can't go with you directly, after all, I am a bit conspicuous in Colombia now."

"You still have this consciousness."

107. A female colleague with cat ears?

Rhode Island's roots in this land are really quite lush. Tremont, Colombia, where Rhine Life's headquarters is located, is also Colombia's emerging technology capital. There is actually an office of Rhode Island here.And this time, Kelsey still lived up to expectations and helped Ceria find a reason to return to Colombia.

Compared with the last time Seria secretly sneaked back into the country because of the incident in Mansfield Prison, this time, the forces in Rhode Island, which attracted more attention due to the Iberia incident, found it even more difficult to suppress Seria's ability. Identified personnel were secretly sent to the Colombian border.According to the intelligence Kelsey got from unknown sources, Colombia's Border Management Bureau has begun investigating the backgrounds of immigrants and has received orders to pay close attention to people directly related to Rhode Island.

Moreover, according to reports from offices across Colombia, operators stationed there also reported that their actions were being followed by unknown persons.

So if Ceria, who has the dual sensitive identity of a former section chief of Rhine Life and a current Rhodes Island operator, wants to return to Colombia, she really can't make any small moves. It's best to leave openly and openly.

Kelsey found a suitable reason. The employment security contract of the Rhode Island office in Tremont had just expired, and there were still some accounts that needed to be checked, so she asked Ceria, a former Rheinland Life employee who was familiar with Colombian political and business affairs, to Lead a task force to Tremont to deal with related matters.

It is said that after receiving the contact from Alpha, Kelsey said nonchalantly that she still had a dozen different reasonable and legal channels to return to Colombia, and for all the reasons, the Colombian authorities had to sell her this face.

Considering that she knew the President and was one of the founders of the Colombian Melander Foundation, Alpha just assumed this was the case.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to return to my hometown after many years to get together with old friends, even if it is in Colombia, it is a very valid reason, right? That is to say, we must pay attention to the number of Colombian Central Intelligence Agency personnel at the venue who may exceed double digits. He's just a bureau agent. This kind of job, Hui Jin said, is a bit too easy.

In their current operations, Alpha provides remote assistance that is almost like cheating. The most basic thing is that they don’t have to worry about how to bring in prohibited equipment and weapons that the authorities cannot release. Alpha can remotely open a door for them at any time to deliver weapons and equipment. , you can just open the door to get people in an emergency.However, until it is extremely urgent, it is better not to do this openly, which will cause great dissatisfaction and hostility from the Colombian government and significantly increase the threat level in the assessment.

……

"I thought you would hesitate longer before making a decision." In the infirmary of the Life Star, Alpha said lightly to Ashes lying on the operating table.

"For intelligence officers, there is nothing to hesitate about camouflage surgery that can be rolled back, right?" Alisa Cohen, who was wearing a non-woven hospital gown, was not nervous at all. "Alexander has become much healthier after the operation. I'm actually quite curious about how amazing your biomodification technology is."

"Aren't you afraid that you will become Feilin and not be able to change back?"

"It is difficult for us to return to our own country and society. I don't think I need to tell you what kind of measures the United States will take against people who have experienced our experience. In contrast, continue It would be better for us to work for you, a boss who is so reliable that he is ridiculous, for a long time. We have already thought about this clearly when we walked out of Sargon's adobe house."

"It's best if you think about it clearly, then I'm going to get ready to start."

Maybe, growing a pair of cat ears and a cat tail would be a very strange experience, wouldn't it?Back then, those idiot friends were all clamoring to be cat girls all day long... During the final preparations, such thoughts passed through Alpha's mind.Then this strange thought was thrown out of her mind.

This time, just like when she gave Captain Bodrocasti new life, Alpha did not use any specific medical technology she had mastered. Two groups of light shining with an indescribable glow lit up on her palms. Immediately afterwards, her physical arm that transformed into a construct began to disappear, and the original actual material was replaced by a transparent and hazy structure that was the original projection of a high-dimensional creature in the material dimension.Then she played the lyre that only gods could play.

……

"Alissa, wake up, you have become a cat lady!"

"Ah uh..." Hui Jin opened her eyes on the operating table, and then she was keenly aware that the vision of her eyes had been significantly improved. Then, she felt the effects of an extra pair of cat ears on her head. All-round improvement in hearing.Her biological knowledge asked why the structures inside her ears did not occupy and influence her brain space, but she decided not to think about it.

"how do you feel?"

"It's pretty good." Hui Jing sat up easily from the operating table, and then found that his extra cat tail was wagging easily behind him, "How did I adapt to these extra things so quickly? Organ structure..."

"Of course I updated the driver patch for your central nervous system. This kind of work can be done by any regular doctor in the Sky Garden. It's not difficult."

"Okay..." Our dear female colleague with cat ears felt that this explanation was a bit far-fetched, but she could accept it. "I'm a little hungry now, and I feel like I can break a piece of cement with one punch."

"I slightly adjusted your body functions according to the strength of a feline, repaired all the hidden injuries you had in the past, adjusted all your native organs to their best condition, and also made appropriate reinforcements, theory Even if you don’t receive any life-extending treatment, you can still live about 50 years longer than the normal human lifespan. By the way, your current physical fitness should be stronger than that of the average film woman."

As he said that, Alpha threw her a grip dynamometer. The poundage of this grip dynamometer was usually only used by Ceria, the humanoid tyrannosaurus on the Life Star. Before being injured and undergoing transformation, Machine Gun Brother could not squeeze with both hands. , but this time, Hui Jing found that he actually squeezed this thing.

"Get up and run for a few steps to feel it out. I'm quite confident in my skills. Then, I've prepared the equipment for you two. Just go to the preparation cabin and meet Ceria later."

At the same time, among the other three members of Rainbow Team waiting outside the door of the medical room, Flash Shield was thinking about whether he should also wear cat ears.

108. Reborn ashes
