Poseidon in Tomorrow's Ark

--------

"I feel like a layer of my skin has peeled off." Angel touched his face, "and it feels sticky now."

"Last time, when we were at the Guards Bureau, didn't we both experience Xiyue's somewhat strange luck?" Texas glanced at the notes scattered on the ground.

"It's okay when playing normally, but once there's any punishment involved, Xiyue's luck will become terribly good." Texas began to recall the scenes of playing cards or other games with Xiyue when he was bored in the past.

Because the Archangels are into excitement, he usually adds punishments when playing games with others, turning the game into a dark game. But once the punishments are added, the originally ordinary game will turn into a killing game of Xiyue.

Even Xiyue herself couldn't explain why, in this situation, luck would become so good.

"Okay, okay, wipe your face?" Xiyue smiled and raised her hand to summon a ball of water. She then took out two towels from her clothes and threw them on the faces of Archangel and Skadi.

"Oh, thanks~" The Angel of Power pulled off the towel on his face, dipped it in water, and rubbed it vigorously on his face.

"Xiyue, when is a good time for lunch?" Texas was lying on the recliner made by Xiyue with water, watching Xiyue who was cooking in the pot.

If it were before, the two of them might have just eaten some bread while driving, but now they can just lie on the chairs leisurely, looking forward to the upcoming delicious food.

That's really great.

"It will take a while, Texas." Xiyue glanced at the pot, "Wait a little longer."

"Okay." Texas nodded and looked at the sunshade tent above his head. This thing was also taken out by Xiyue.

As he watched, Texas started to complain: "I really don't know whether we are transporting goods across the city or going on a picnic in the wild?"

"Compared to this!" After washing his face, Angel took out a box from the car and slapped it on the table. "While waiting, let's play a game!"

"Especially, Xiyue!" The Angel of Power stared at Xiyue who was cooking, and the anger in his eyes seemed to be wanting to avenge the previous humiliation.

Xiyue turned her head and looked at the Angel, knocking the pot with the iron spoon in her hand, "I'm cooking."

"Anyway, Xiyue's water clone can also help you cook. Come and play, come and play~" The Angel of Power grabbed Xiyue's hand and led her to the table.

"Really, there's nothing I can do with you." Xiyue shook her head helplessly and let the Archangel pull her over. At the same time, she left a water clone in place and continued cooking.

"So what do we play?"

Exiah chuckled and held up the box on the table: "This is it, the board game Pioneer produced by Columbia!"

"A board game that allows mobile cities to be mined freely on the map is a game that requires operation. There will definitely not be any luck factor for Xiyue to use. This time I want to avenge my previous shame!"

"You've really put a lot of effort into avenging your previous shame." Xiyue smiled and touched the head of the Archangel.

--------

"In the end, I won." Xiyue looked at the situation on the table and made a judgment.

"How could this happen? This is a game that clearly doesn't allow for any luck, so how could I lose?" Archangel, who was ranked last, wailed as he looked at the table top.

"Is there a possibility?" Texas looked at Exiah, "Exiah, is this your cup of tea?"

Texas then pointed at Skadi who was standing aside and said, "Skadi didn't even understand the rules when I saw her playing. She only came in third place."

"I don't accept it! It must be a matter of luck. Let's play another game!" Archangel slapped the table.

"Just now I said that this is a game that doesn't allow any luck to be involved." Xiyue smiled and pointed at the car, "It's time to go, let's get in the car and play."

"Oh, yes, there are still goods to be delivered, so only the three of us can play." Angel suddenly realized that they were not really here for a picnic, but to deliver goods.

"Actually, if you want to play, I can still play with you." Xiyue said after thinking for a while.

"It's better not to look back and play games while driving." Texas stood up from his chair.

"My water clone can also drive. I can create a water clone and sit in the driver's seat to play with you guys."

Texas and Exiah thought of the same scene at the same time, that is, Xiyue sitting in the driver's seat, and there was another Xiyue on her body, as if the game modeling was overlapping.

If it were in a game, they would just say that the game has a bug, but if it were in reality.

Texas and Exia shuddered. The scene was somewhat terrifying, so they both spoke at the same time.

"No! Xiyue, just drive honestly!!!"

Chapter 57: Sharks

"Well, 37 points." Xiyue glanced at the table while sitting in the driver's seat.

Originally Xiyue was driving obediently, but as they drove, the Angel couldn't stand the loneliness anymore and pulled Xiyue to play again.

After all, Exiah really couldn't stand the cold gaming atmosphere in the car, Texas who had a calm face and hardly communicated, and Skadi who had a silly face and didn't communicate at the other side.

The atmosphere of this game can be imagined, the atmosphere of this game is not hot! So Angel decisively pulled Xiyue to join the battle again.

Even if she was facing Xiyue, the weird scene that seemed like a game out of place was better than these two who couldn't interact at all. At least Xiyue knew how to liven up the atmosphere with her!

They would also show their support at appropriate times, and the sense of interaction was full, so a few of them played the board game with Xiyue and the game modeling misplaced.

I have to say, in order to prevent boredom, Angelo has a lot of games in the car. After playing for two days, he hardly played any two games twice.

The Angel slapped the table excitedly: "Ha, Xiyue, you lost, you finally lost!"

"You didn't win, Angel." Xiyue looked at Angel with a smile and pointed at the table. "Well, 32 points, the last one again?"

The face of the Angel of Power froze: "This, this is not important, what is important is that you are finally not the first place!"

"If that's the case, I've actually lost a few games as well." Xiyue smiled as she looked at the Archangel and touched his head.

The Angel subconsciously rubbed Xiyue's hand, and then after hearing Xiyue's words, he looked at Xiyue with empty eyes: "The individual score is second, and then the group is first, right?"

"We're almost there, put your things away." Texas suddenly spoke up, pointing at the huge black shadow in the distance.

"That's true. Then the loser clears the table. Angel of Energy, thank you for your help." Xiyue turned around and overlapped with her water clone, then took the steering wheel.

Texas, who was sitting in the passenger seat, breathed a sigh of relief. Sitting in the passenger seat, she almost always looked at Xiyue, who seemed to be out of her body, and this caused a lot of psychological pressure on her.

Xiyue also considered that if she separated the water clone, it would be a bit weird if the water clone overlapped with her. So in order to reduce the sense of incongruity, Xiyue adjusted the water clone to an almost transparent state.

But from the direction of Texas, it looked like the soul had left the body, which was even more weird.

"Stop, stop!" The Rhodes Island operator saw Xiyue's car coming up and quickly stepped forward and knocked on the door. "Hello, what can I do for you in Rhodes Island?"

Xiyue rolled down the car window, leaned out, and showed the tablet in her hand to the Rhodes Island operator: "Penguin Logistics, cargo transportation."

The operator stood on tiptoe and glanced at the content on the tablet and nodded: "It's you, newcomers? Sorry, I was just asking out of curiosity. You can go in now. The goods will be delivered to warehouse number three."

"It's okay." Xiyue nodded, took the tablet back and closed the car window.

"Texas, which way is Warehouse No. 3?" After closing the car window, Xiyue turned to look at Texas and asked.

"Go straight ahead and turn left at the second intersection. The warehouse area is two floors down. Then look at the signs." Texas reported the route with ease.

"Ok."

--------

"The goods have been delivered, I wish you a happy life."

The operator who was moving the goods scratched his head and looked at Xiyue: "You, Penguin Logistics, have you changed your slogan again?"

"Uh..." Xiyue turned her head to look at Texas and the others and asked quietly, "What do we usually say?"

"Generally speaking, it's Penguin Logistics, and the mission must be accomplished, but it doesn't matter, this is not important~" The Angel came over and whispered.

"Yeah, I got it."

At this time, another Rhodes Island operator came over with a signed bill of lading: "You arrived pretty quickly. I heard that there was an Originium storm disaster on the road between Lungmen and Rhodes Island. I thought this batch of goods would be late."

"Originium Storm Disaster?" Texas raised an eyebrow. "When did it happen?"

"It happened two days ago. It was sudden." The operator glanced at his terminal. "The Scourge Messenger said the time was uncertain, but it ended around 3 a.m. yesterday."

"Three o'clock yesterday morning?"

"Yes, the affected area is quite large." The operator nodded and handed the terminal in his hand to Texas.

"To be honest, I thought this batch of goods would have to arrive in a day or two tonight. After all, it takes time for the storm to subside or take a detour. But it seems that you just happened to avoid the outbreak time, which is a good thing."

At this time, there was a clattering sound coming from the truck, and the operator quickly turned around and shouted, "Be careful, there are fragile items in this batch of goods, be gentle!"

"Sorry, excuse me for a moment." The operator handed the purchase order to Texas, "After you've read it, just put the terminal on the table. By the way, although you are not involved, it would be better to test the blood Originium content, right?"

"Hmm..." Texas responded perfunctorily, then turned his gaze to the terminal that the operator handed to him.

The Archangel nearby came up curiously and said, "Wow, the affected area is really large."

The Originium Storm Disaster is one of the types of natural disasters on this land. The cause of its formation is unknown, and the rules of its formation are unknown. Compared with other types of natural disasters, its only advantage is that it will not cause a large-scale spread of Originium and turn that area into a mining area.

It is considered the most threatening natural disaster to caravans in the wilderness due to its suddenness and wide range of impact.

If you are in it, if you do not take inhibitors and take appropriate safety precautions, the possibility of infection is very high.

As for the survival rate, it all depends on luck. If you are lucky, you may be able to survive by relying on a sturdy vehicle or finding a hole on the spot. If you are unlucky and are swept into the sky or hit by rocks blown by the wind, no one can say for sure.

Because of this, when Angelus saw the estimated impact range displayed on the tablet, she breathed a sigh of relief, because the impact range displayed on the terminal just happened to include the route they had taken before.

Although the front of the car had been reinforced and they had stuffed protective steel plates inside Xiyue's clothes, there was no problem for her to survive, but the things in the car were definitely doomed to fail.

The boss would definitely not let them pay for it, after all, who could predict a natural disaster? Especially a natural disaster like a storm, which still had no idea how it happened.

But by then, they will have to go back to pick up another batch of goods, and the time cost wasted on the road will be their responsibility.

"Lucky?" Texas looked up at Xiyue who was talking to Skadi beside him.

Xiyue saw Texas looking at her from the corner of her eye, turned her head and smiled at Texas: "It's really lucky."

"..." Texas saw the smile on Xiyue's lips and immediately understood how they had escaped the storm disaster unscathed and even knew nothing about it.

"Can such a thing be done?" Texas breathed a sigh of relief, but another thing quietly came to his mind, "If it is... No, a contract is a contract."

Texas closed her eyes and drove the thoughts out of her mind. It was her own business and she shouldn't bother Xiyue.

At this moment, Xiyue was looking at Texas. She saw the struggle in Texas' eyes, so Xiyue asked.

"What's wrong? Texas, do you need my help?"

Texas looked at Xiyue and shook his head: "No, nothing."

"Is that so? If you need any help, just let me know." Xiyue smiled, "I'm always available to listen."

"it is good……"

"Oh, by the way, it'll be a while before they unload the cargo, and Skadi asked me to go see her friends. Do you want to join us? Or do you want to go shopping?"

Angel of Power had no interest in Xiyue's medical treatment, so he waved his hand and said, "Forget it. I'll go see if there are any delicious desserts in Rhodes Island and bring some back for you."

Texas also shook his head: "I've run out of pocky. I'm going to buy some. Be careful."

"OK, let's contact each other by phone then." Xiyue nodded and looked at Skadi, "Let's go."

————Rhode Island Medical Department————

"Psychological treatment may be a long process."

Skadi listened to Xiyue's words and nodded: "They said so too, and Kal'tsit said that the shark's back is also a problem."

"In that case, maybe..." Xiyue was interrupted by Skadi before she could finish her sentence.

"We're here." Skadi stopped in front of a ward, took out her work badge from Rhodes Island from her pocket, and tapped it on the card reader at the door.

"I hope Shark is still in good spirits today..." Skadi was about to reach out and push the door open, but the door was forcibly slammed open from the inside. A black shadow rushed out of the door and pounced straight towards Xiyue, knocking Xiyue away together.

"Xiyue!" Skadi ran towards the gap in the wall that was opened by the black shadow.

The terrified doctors around finally waited until the dust cleared, and after seeing the situation clearly, they quickly shouted, "Who knows where Dr. Kal'tsit is? Go find her quickly!"

As the doctor in charge of this area, he certainly knew about the ghost shark's situation, but this was the first time that the other party reacted so strongly. However, he had no good solution. The other party was incredibly strong and ignored sleeping pills.

When Skadi passed through the gap, she saw the ghost shark lying on Xiyue's body, biting Xiyue's shoulder.

"Shark, let her go!" Skadi threw down the greatsword in her hand and planned to step forward and pull the ghost shark away directly.

"It's okay." Xiyue smiled and stopped Skadi's actions, then waved her hand to tell the dazed patients around her to leave quickly.

"Okay, good boy~" Xiyue stroked the ghost shark's head, "Come on, good boy, don't be nervous."

Xiyue slowly released her strength, and suddenly the light in the ward seemed to be tinged with a layer of blue, filling the entire ward with a hint of tranquility.

"Well, it's time for afternoon tea." Warfarin lay leisurely on the recliner holding a blood bag in his hand.

"Doctor Warfarin!" The door of the blood testing room was suddenly pushed open, and a nurse pushed the door open and frightened Warfarin so much that she almost squeezed the blood bag in her hand.

"What happened? What happened?" Huafarin quickly put the blood bag he had saved with great difficulty on the table and asked the nurse.
