Poseidon in Tomorrow's Ark

"Be safe, and Miss Laplander, please don't stay so far away from Hong. You're making things difficult for me."

Xiyue turned her head and looked at Lappland, who was keeping a distance of one meter from Hong in the mist.

Lapland, who was in the mist, twitched his lips. It was hard for you to let me get so close to him. Are you making it hard for me? I got goose bumps all over my body.

Fortunately, Lappland was not a pretentious person, and could only endure the panic spreading from his body and stand behind Red.

Xiyue walked around the two people, and a ball of water appeared behind her. The water ball slowly squirmed and turned into a water man in front of Lappland. Then it shook again, and various colors slowly appeared on the water man's body.

Lappland looked carefully at the water man in front of him. Apart from the fact that his eyes looked a little strange and the reflection on his body was a little too obvious, there was almost no other flaw.

Xiyue sat on the bed, closed her eyes, and began to concentrate. She couldn't be distracted for a moment.

Hong looked at his mother who was sitting on the bed with her eyes closed, then turned and stared at Lappland, whose tail had been standing behind him since a while ago.

"Okay, Miss Red, stop looking at me and lead the way." Lappland shook his tail nervously.

I guess they haven’t been targeted by wolf hunters for as long as the Lupo tribe.

Ha, I'm really looking forward to finding Texas after arriving at Longmen. I must let her see it. I'm really looking forward to what expression she'll have.

...............

Xiyue climbed onto the driver's seat and knocked her head. The precise operation just now made her head a little dizzy.

"In the future, if it is absolutely not necessary, never use this trick. It is completely useless and will only give you a headache after using it."

Hong, who was sitting in the passenger seat, saw her mother supporting her head and reached out to touch Xiyue's head. She had been touched like that by her mother many times before, and her head felt very comfortable after that.

"Hmm?" Xiyue turned his head and looked at Hong who reached out to touch him. He smiled and also reached out to touch Hong's head.

"Lapland is in the back carriage, right?"

Hong nodded.

"Okay, let's go, let's go!"

…………Dragon Gate…………

"A-choo!" Texas, who was driving, suddenly sneezed.

"Ah, Texas, look at the road, look at the road!" Croissant, who was sitting in the passenger seat, shouted anxiously. They were on an overpass now!

Texas did a drift, but it was obviously too late given the speed they were going, and the rear compartment of the car hit the railing on the viaduct directly.

The car shook a series of times, causing the Archangel, who was leaning out of the window and shooting backwards, to pat the roof to express his dissatisfaction.

"Texas, be serious, you almost threw me out, wow! You dared to fight back!"

Texas saw through the rearview mirror that the railing had just been knocked crooked by their car, and sighed in his heart, knowing that he would have to pay the ticket later.

Although they, Penguin Logistics, shoot and fight, and are sometimes even involved in some special explosions, sometimes those explosions are caused by them.

But they are still a legal business because they always pay the fines in a timely manner and also pay a portion of the damage caused by other participants in the incident.

Suddenly, the rearview mirror on the Texas side was shattered by a flying arrow and fell to the ground.

"What a trouble!" Texas turned the steering wheel sharply, did a tailspin, smashed the railing on the side, and drove directly into another lane in the opposite direction.

I have to pay the ticket anyway, so I guess my boss won't say anything if I pay an extra one.

It looks like today is another restless day for Penguin Logistics.

…………wilderness…………

"It's really exquisite. I didn't expect Miss Xinyi to bring so many seasonings to the wilderness."

"If I can eat well, why not? I'm not short of money. And didn't I tell you to just call me Xiyue? Doctor Xin, to be honest, I always think this name sounds weird."

Xiyue squatted beside the fire, stirring the iron pot on the stove with a spoon.

"I think it's good. How long will it take?"

"It will be ready soon. Until then..."

Xiyue suddenly raised her hand and condensed a huge water curtain in the air. In the black night sky, several arrows suddenly flew over, but they just fell into the capture range of the water curtain and lost their momentum to move forward.

"You can do some digestion exercises first. I think it should be better when you come back. How about it, Miss Laplander, are you interested?"

Before Xiyue could finish her words, she heard Lappland laughing wildly, picking up her weapon and rushing towards the direction where the arrow had just come from.

"What an impatient person, Red!"

A hand slowly stretched out from the water curtain in the sky, just grabbed the neck of Hong who was called by her, and brought Hong back.

"Red, please don't go. Let Miss Laplander relax. Besides, I just washed your clothes for you."

"Got it, Mom."

Xiyue stirred the contents of the pot calmly, listening to the sound of the wind coming from the wilderness and the constant screams in the distance.

Chapter 14: Healer

The contents of the pot soon began to bubble, and at this moment, the sound of boots rubbing against sand and gravel could be heard nearby.

"You're back. You're pretty quick. Sit down and eat." Xiyue raised her head and said to Lappland who was walking over.

"It's just some odds and ends, how long will it last?"

Lappland responded to Xiyue with a smile on his face, and lightly swung the knife in his hand, causing the blood that was still flowing on it to be thrown off the blade and splash onto the ground around him.

Seeing this scene, Xiyue picked up a stone and threw it towards Lappland.

Lappland wanted to swing the blade in his hand to deflect the stone that Xiyue threw at him, but the stone was faster than Lappland could raise his hand.

"Don't try to be cool. Blood will attract wild beasts. Take a good rest. Don't waste it on a group of wild beasts."

Xiyue's tone was a little unfriendly. She was a little grumpy when she woke up. She didn't like being woken up when she was sleeping.

"Okay, I'll listen to you, Miss Xiyue." Lappland, feeling the pain, became more obedient, put away his sword and sat down.

"Really?" Xiyue sighed. Since Lappland had given in, there was nothing much to say.

So Xiyue could only raise her hand to summon a water phantom to let her be responsible for cleaning up the blood spilled around, the blood stains dripping from the blade where Lappland had just walked, and the battlefield in the distance.

Lappland looked at the water phantom that was walking away, sat carelessly on the wooden stake, and asked casually while looking at Xiyue who was serving soup to Hong.

"Come to think of it, when I just dealt with them, I thought Miss Xiyue you would let me show mercy."

"Why, just because I'm a doctor?"

"Isn't it? Xiyue, you are a doctor~" Lappland said while clasping his hands together in a praying gesture.

"If you don't have, um, according to the words of Yan Country, a heart that should be called a doctor to save the world, how could you leave the safe mobile city? Why come to this cannibalistic land to practice medicine?"

"Because I have the ability to refuse anything that might happen to me. Of course, as you said, I have a heart to help others."

This is not a lie, or a statement made to flatter oneself.

Perhaps in the previous cave, Xiyue’s medical work was to save her own life, so what about leaving that cave?

Xiyue doesn't need to continue to be a doctor. System tasks? There is no such thing.

Xiyue’s system is quite cold, like just a program. If anything, it’s probably a shopping software that can display her status?

System elf? It doesn't exist. This system will never appear unless Xiyue calls it.

A mission that would force execution? That didn't exist either. This system had never taken care of Xiyue.

Therefore, let alone the scenes in some novels where the host and the system quarrel, or the situation where the system task actively harms the host, they will never appear at all.

This system can be said to be adhering to the principle of "if you work you get something in return". The system has given Xiyue the skills to become a doctor, but whether Xiyue becomes a doctor depends entirely on her own awareness and there is no compulsion.

Of course, if Xiyue doesn’t work as a doctor, she won’t get any medical points, and naturally won’t be able to exchange anything in the system.

Therefore, Xiyue compared the system to a shopping software that could display his status, because only when he worked, that is, provided medical treatment to others, could he get wages and buy things here.

Realistic but surprisingly good.

However, if there is no such thing as the heart to save the world, as Lappland said, why would Xiyue come to this land to practice medicine?

Was Xiyue worried about her fighting ability at the beginning? After Xiyue completely transformed into a pure water spirit, this was no longer a matter of concern.

The last time when Hong caused trouble, she was honored as the Lord of Water by the group of men in black. This problem has been confirmed. At least in the eyes of the Wolf Lord, she is also a giant beast.

After all, I don't think any human would address an ant as "sir" or something like that, and the same applies to the animal owner.

Even if Xiyue wanted to exchange something through the system, was it really necessary for him to become a doctor? The answer to this question was obviously no.

If he joins the hospital and becomes a doctor, with his medical skills he will soon be able to climb to the level of chief surgeon. Of course, this method will be slower and requires some opportunities.

Or, go to a fixed place of residence, open a clinic there, and work as a clinic doctor. Isn't that faster and safer than this?

Don’t think that she is now considered a famous doctor by the system and has even been given a title.

But in reality, during that six months, there were robbers, hunting dogs, and even natural disasters in the wilderness. Which one was not dangerous?

Is it safe during the treatment? Of course not, at the beginning, even if Xiyue stated that she was a doctor and was willing to provide free treatment.

There were also mercenary groups that wanted to follow suit. At the beginning, the robbers wanted to imprison Xiyue and make her serve their mercenary group. If it weren't for Xiyue's powerful fist, it would probably have been another tragic incident.

What's worse, when Xiyue was conducting medical activities in the city slums for the first time, one of the infected people even pulled out the Originium crystal from his leg when Xiyue was not paying attention, and wanted to insert it into Xiyue's body.

His purpose was just to make Xiyue become the same as them. It was so simple that it was outrageous. What was heartbreaking was that just now, Xiyue had just helped him heal his broken arm.

And this is only the heart-breaking part. At that time, there were many people around that person who had just received treatment from Xiyue, but no one tried to remind Xiyue, not even a basic exclamation.

Of course, his actions were discovered by Xiyue, who was using her mental power to sense the conditions of the patients around her.

When he was trapped by Xiyue's water ball, the other party just calmly threw the bloody fragments of the Originium in his hand to the ground.

There was no resistance, no begging for mercy, the infected person just calmly waited for the coming punishment.

The people around didn't make any move. They just watched Xiyue's actions calmly.

Perhaps their original intention was just to keep Xiyue and give them medical treatment, using the most vicious way in the world.

What they want to see is that the angels in white who provide medical treatment for them have their wings stained by rocks and cannot fly, and live in hell with them.

Feeling the peaceful atmosphere, Xiyue at that time understood one thing very clearly: the world was sick, and the infected people were also sick, sick to the core.

The surroundings were so quiet that it made people feel sick. To be honest, this was the first time Xiyue knew that quietness could be accompanied by sickness.

"Ah!!!" A scream broke the silence, and Xiyue waved her hand to stop controlling the water ball.

After losing control, the water ball fell to the ground with the infected people whose limbs were broken by the water flow. Blood flowed out and mixed with the surrounding water.

Xiyue turned around and started to pack up the medical equipment that she could still recycle. She couldn't remember what her emotions were at that time. Was she disappointed? It seemed not. Was she angry? It seemed not.

When Xiyue packed up her things and walked out, the people around her automatically made way for her.

Until the moment Xiyue got into the car and drove away, no one tried to stop her, keep her or ask for help.

It was sickeningly quiet.

That day was the sixth day of Xiyue's first medical activity. That day, the city was hit by a long-awaited heavy rain.

"Huh? It's going to rain? The weather was nice just now." Lappland's voice interrupted Xiyue's thoughts.

At this time, the two full moons in the sky fell behind the thick dark clouds, and a breeze gradually rose around, and it really looked like it was about to rain.

Lappland picked up the pot and planned to put it in the carriage to prevent stones blown by the wind from flying in.

"Mom?" Hong, who was sitting next to Xiyue, looked at Xiyue worriedly.

Hong knew that her mother's mood might affect the weather. The sudden change in the weather must be related to her mother's silence just now.

"It's okay, Mom just remembered an unpleasant past event." Xiyue touched Hong's head, "Don't worry, it won't rain."

Xiyue stood up, dusted herself off, and walked into the back of the car holding Hong's hand.

Lappland inside moved very quickly. In such a short time, he quickly set up a small table and a small stool, and sat there drinking soup from a bowl.

"It's pretty fast."

"Of course, but Miss Xiyue's cooking skills are indeed good, and the broth tastes very delicious."

"As long as you wander around this land for a long time, you will be able to master some cooking skills."

Lappland shrugged his shoulders, scooped out a few large pieces of meat with a spoon without hesitation, put them in the bowl and started eating, while observing the situation outside.

"It's light again. It was just cloudy." Lapland said as he looked at the earth outside which was bathed in moonlight again.

However, Lapland didn't care too much about it. It was just a sudden change in the weather, which was not an uncommon thing in this wilderness. As long as it was not a natural disaster, everything would be fine.

"Oh, by the way, Miss Xiyue..., what... did you mean... just now?" Lappland said incoherently while chewing meat.

Xiyue sighed, "Miss Lapland, you should finish eating before talking. Not everyone can understand others' unclear words."
