Poseidon in Tomorrow's Ark

"That's true." The Angel of Exorcism nodded. "After all, the trajectory of a balloon in the air is even more difficult to predict. There's also the factor of wind. Plus, it's dark now, so we might not even be able to find the balloon as it floats."

"So~" Xiyue smiled and took out a skewer of meat from the barbecue box in her hand and stuffed it into the mouth of the Angel of Exorcism. "Don't worry about it. Let's go. There are still many things we haven't experienced today."

"Hmm." The Angel took the skewers from Xiyue and started eating them bite by bite. When he turned around, he found that someone seemed to have been gone since just now?

"Speaking of which, where is Texas?" Exia looked around. "It seems like he just disappeared from the shooting booth?"

"I think they went somewhere else to play?" Xiyue shrugged. "Isn't that what a party is like? Although it was a bit rushed, there were still a lot of interesting things."

"Are you talking about the roller skating competition that ACE had before?" Texas came out from the crowd behind Xiyue. "That one was indeed quite interesting and attracted quite a few people."

"Yeah, it's quite interesting~" Xiyue turned around and looked at Texas, "But most of the people who go there are children."

"What do you think, Xiyue, if you don't have children, you might want to go and have a look?" Texas handed over a drink in his hand, "It's quite cold today, would you like to have some hot cocoa to warm yourself up?"

"I tried it, the hot cocoa here tastes pretty good." Texas took out other hot cocoa from the bag in his hand and handed it to others.

Exiah looked suspicious as Texas handed her the hot cocoa. If she saw it correctly, Texas was holding two cups, both with straws, while the cups in their hands did not have straws.

So, when Texas said he tasted it, which cup did he taste, and which cup did he hand to Xiyue?

"Is that how you play it, Texas?" Angelus put a straw in the hot cocoa in her hand. "Is that how all the novels Texas read play, or is this Texas's own idea?"

Kong on the side also had a strange look on his face. Of course, she also noticed Texas's little move just now. Then Kong looked at Xiyue again.

At this moment, Xiyue was unaware of what Texas had done. She just took the hot cocoa that had just been handed to her and walked around the stalls.

"Well, isn't this the doctor?" Xiyue walked to a booth and looked at the doctor who was setting up a small table in front of him. "What are you doing?"

"Earn some pocket money~" The doctor pointed to the chess game on the table, "Ten dollars each time, if you win, you take 50, and if you lose, I keep the ten dollars."

"There are more levels of difficulty to choose from~" the doctor pointed to a small sign nearby.

The above is actually just an additional condition that you must persist in the doctor's attack in the chess game for a certain number of rounds to win.

"Isn't this the most common stall set up by an old man in Longmen Square?" Xiyue looked at the doctor, "And you, doctor, are you doing this just to make some pocket money?"

"And isn't this the chessboard I set up when I played chess with you last time?" Xiyue stared at the familiar chessboard on the table with empty eyes, "Doctor, aren't you bullying me?"

"So~" The doctor shook the stack of ten-dollar Longmen coins in his hand, "I haven't lost yet, and I don't even need to use my brain~"

Xiyue looked at the doctor helplessly: "You are bullying me now."

To be honest, this way of playing is actually very common, it's just solving endgames. A lot of old guys in Longmen Square like to play this game, but the pieces on the doctor's chessboard here are not Chinese chess, but international chess.

Of course, they don’t want anything. Some elderly people just want money for drinks or cigarettes, while others simply want someone to cheer them up.

As for the doctor in front of her, she might really just be trying to make some pocket money.

However, the game of chess that Xiyue and the doctor played was not a fixed chess game. The doctor had a hard time playing at that time, let alone others.

"Hehe~" The doctor knew that he was definitely bullying by setting up the chess game at that time, but he couldn't resist the stubborn kid~

"But?" Xiyue looked at the dozen banknotes shaking in the doctor's hand, among which there were several 50-dollar Longmen coins, "There are actually people who challenge the highest difficulty. They will accompany you to finish this game, and it seems that there are quite a few of them?"

To be honest, any discerning person can see that the black side that he is trying to control is at an absolute disadvantage at this moment, and it is very difficult to win.

"Oh, you mean this." The doctor put the money back into his pocket, looked around and pointed in a direction nearby, "The guy from the Filin tribe in the conference room gave me this several times~"

"In the end, it was his sister who pulled him away~"

Xiyue looked in the direction the doctor pointed, and sure enough, she saw Yaxin dragging Yinhui, who looked helpless, around the stalls.

"Suddenly it seems to have no meaning, but Yinhui hasn't left yet. I thought he left directly after signing the purchase agreement with Rhodes Island last time."

Suddenly, everyone's cell phone rang. After everyone smiled at each other, they took out their phones and looked at the time they had already set.

After a while, everyone started counting down in unison.

"10!"

"9!"

"8!"

………………

"3!"

"2!"

"1!"

As the countdown ended, several people who had already reached the top of the bridge waved their staffs and threw the spells they had prepared into the air.

The spell was thrown into the air and then suddenly exploded. Bright colors briefly illuminated the sky.

Xiyue looked at the three Texas people approaching her with a smile on her face: "Welcome to the new year~"

Chapter 102: Dragon Gate

—————Wilderness, Longmen Suburbs—————

"Finally I'm back~" Angel of Energy sat obediently in the co-pilot seat, looking at the Longmen City moving forward in the distance, "Oh, it's better to go home~"

"I didn't see you missing home that much at the party last night, Angel~" Xiyue, who was sitting in the back seat, looked at Angel with a hint of amusement in her eyes, "You had a lot of fun last night~"

"Hehe~" Angel turned her head and looked at Xiyue, "When you are having fun, you should relax and have fun, so I didn't miss home at that time, but I can miss it now!"

"Are those refugees?" The doctor sitting next to Xiyue pointed to a black line in the distance through the window. "Are they fleeing from Chernobyl?"

Xiyue turned her head to look at the black line of people in the distance and nodded: "I think it should be all of them, although the Integration Movement, under the leadership of Tallulah who has now regained her will, is trying to regain the trust of the residents of Chernobog."

"At least she is doing so now, but as a former terrorist organization, the Integration Movement obviously still cannot convince the public, not to mention that many people fled directly during the previous riots."

"So they all came to Longmen?" Amiya also looked at the refugees outside, "But even if they came, they can't get in here, right?"

"That's right." Kal'tsit sat at the back and didn't even look at the group of refugees in the distance outside the window. "Lungmen's resources are limited. It's impossible for us to accept refugees endlessly, not to mention that they are from Ursus."

"Then what about us..." Amiya looked at the group of refugees, hesitant to speak. Lungmen's resources are limited, and so are the resources of Rhodes Island.

She had the intention, but ultimately she was unable to do so. I know that the current resources are actually only being used up by that little bit of circulation, if Mr. SilverAsh hadn't bought a large amount of medical supplies from them.

Their finances may really have collapsed recently, and they came here this time under the advice of Dr. Kal'tsit. If they can reach an agreement on the infected people, they may be able to gain some benefits from Lungmen.

This was also Kal'tsit's original plan. The last time she asked Penguin Logistics to send her to Longmen was to discuss this matter with Wei Yanwu. If things went well, Rhodes Island might be able to get a lot of funding from Longmen.

However, the original biggest bargaining chip, the integration movement, has almost been resolved by Xiyue, so whether this bargaining chip can play a role is actually still an unknown.

However, it is a good thing that the integration movement was resolved in advance. Such a fierce riot will only make the situation of the infected people more passive in the future.

"Amiya, we can't save everyone." Kal'tsit looked at Amiya and said calmly, "But if things go well this time, we may be able to reach a cooperation with Longmen regarding the infected."

Croissant, who was squeezed in the back with Kal'tsit, suddenly said after hearing Kal'tsit's words: "Speaking of the infected, that's the slums. Our Xiyue helped the Longmen Guard Bureau to set up three sentry boxes and a branch in the slums~"

Hearing Croissant's words, Xiyue also turned around: "Oh, I remember that it was just a sentry box the day we left? Is it so fast?"

"Of course not~" Croissant nodded quickly. This is what Officer Shi Huaiya said when I happened to run into him while setting up the stall. "It was Officer Shi Huaiya at that time. Oh, I was so happy!"

"Hey, let me tell you, Dr. Kal'tsit..." Croissant couldn't stop talking once he started.

She told him everything she knew about the free clinics Xiyue had conducted in the slums, and about the guards' booth that was later built there.

"Oh?" Kal'tsit also became interested after listening to Croissant's words. According to her information, Wei Yanwu's attitude towards the slums was extremely cautious.

Even if Xiyue is a god, is it possible that Wei Yanwu will be relieved so quickly regarding the issues concerning the slums? And would he even want to use Xiyue's banner to bring the slums back under the jurisdiction of Longmen?

Wait, if it wasn't Wei Yanwu who found Xiyue, but the emperor who recommended her, this seems possible. In addition, Miss Xiyue already has the reputation of being a faithful doctor, which has spread throughout the wilderness.

It seems understandable that Wei Yanwu would choose to use Xiyue's banner to bring the slums under the jurisdiction of Longmen. With Xinyi's reputation as a guarantee, the civilians in the slums may feel relieved.

In the dark, even if the snake's people are still lurking in Longmen, facing a free clinic organized by a god, it is impossible for them to arbitrarily break up the place and offend others.

As for now, since the snake has been completely subdued by Doctor Xiyue, it seems that there is really nothing to worry about in the Longmen Slums.

However, in this case, whether Longmen will still reach cooperation with Rhodes Island on the issue of infected people may be a question...

"If you are worried about this, there is actually a solution." Xiyue suddenly turned around and looked at Kal'tsit, "In fact, some people from the Reunion Movement have already arrived at Longmen."

“Pre-integration or current integration?”

"Previous integration, as for the people coming..." Xiyue took out a mobile phone from his pocket, found the chat interface between him and Tallulah, and handed it behind him.

"This morning, after we were about to return to Longmen, I contacted Tallulah." Xiyue looked at Kal'tsit, who was staring at the phone screen with a thoughtful expression, and said lightly, "Originally, I just wanted to ask her if she was free to meet someone tonight, but she sent me this."

"Just give it to us like this?"

"Some things have to be solved by others. I'm really just a doctor." Xiyue took the phone back and put it back in her pocket. "Besides, what trouble can these two people cause?"

"Wei Yanwu is keeping a close eye on the slums right now, right?" Xiyue smiled. "No matter what the reason is, at least they won't think of finding any more bombs in the slums or anywhere else."

The Angel of Energy also turned around and looked at Xiyue thoughtfully: "Well, are you saying it's because of those unlucky guys last time?"

In the past, she didn't understand Xiyue's identity, so she was so worried at that time, but now when she thinks back to that day, wow, the things that group of guys did didn't force Xiyue to directly bomb the Longmen slums into ruins. Xiyue was really kind-hearted.

"So that's how it is. Has someone who is ignorant of the immensity of the world already sounded another alarm bell for Longmen?" Kal'tsit nodded. Combining with what Angelica had just said, Kal'tsit also understood what Xiyue meant.

It turns out that before this, another group of ignorant people had tried to threaten Xiyue with bombs or something else in an attempt to stop the free clinic. However, it was obvious that this matter directly touched Xiyue's bottom line.

As for that group of people, they were no longer important. Kal'tsit thought that there was probably no one in this world who could survive the wrath of the ocean. Their fate had already been determined when they did something like that.

More importantly, after this incident happened, Longmen, especially Wei Yanwu, would react in such a way that he would never allow anyone to dare to do such a thing again.

Otherwise, next time, Longmen might really have another flooded urban area.

"Well, in that case, I understand." Kal'tsit nodded to Xiyue, "I will try to use this matter as a bargaining chip depending on the situation."

—————Longmen Slums——————

There was a sound of a can being kicked against the wall, followed by a low, angry curse.

"This damn Longmen is completely different from what the leader said!" Broken Bones fiercely kicked another jar against the wall, "I've been here for a few days, but there's no clue at all!"

Originally, he received a mission from the leader to come here to find his sister, Misha, because his sister holds the second key that can control the gantry, and that key is very important to the integration movement.

Of course, for Broken Bone, the key was only second, his sister was first. He originally thought that this matter would be easy.

Let them do as they did in Chernobyl, incite the infected people in the original slums here, let them join the integration movement, and then let them help find their sister.

Everything should have gone smoothly and quickly, but when Broken Bone arrived at Longmen, he found that there seemed to be a big problem.

Not only are the infected people here not moved at all by their instigation, they even report them to the police or gangs over there.

After inquiring, the police even found out that they were the most prestigious gang in the downtown area? And I heard that they all volunteered to be recruited?

"And what's going on with the people here?" Broken Bones leaned against the wall. "All the former gangsters have voluntarily been recruited to become police officers. Are you kidding me?!"

"That boss..."

"Huh..." Broken Bones sighed deeply, then looked at his comrade who was talking beside him, "How is it? Do you have any clues?"

The man hesitated for a moment and said, "The search is still very slow. We don't have enough people with us, so it's hard to find anyone here..."

"Besides, the people here... are totally indifferent to our propaganda."

"I understand." Broken Bone nodded tiredly. He also knew that their current situation was not good, because he had originally considered that they could quickly develop into a team wherever they went.

Therefore, there were only a dozen people that Broken Bones brought to Longmen from the beginning. They originally thought that they could quickly kill a group of members here.

But unexpectedly, reality slapped them hard in the face several times. The people here completely ignored them, whether they were infected or ordinary people, they all ignored them.

There were even some refugees from Chernobyl who secretly came to the Longmen slum by smuggling and other means, and revealed to the residents here what their integration movement was doing in Chernobyl.

Afterwards, they were beaten wherever they went. Looking for someone? They were chased every day, and they looked for someone while they were escaping.

It was only recently that they took off all the symbols of the Integration Movement from their bodies that things got a little better.

"Boss, this isn't a solution, is it?"

Broken Bones looked at his comrade unhappily: "What can I do? Keep looking. Once we find the person, we will leave immediately..."

"This damn place..."

—————Longmen City Lord's Office——————

"I'm sorry, Miss Xiyue, we didn't know in advance that you were coming." Wei Yanwu looked at Xiyue who had already found a place to sit down, a little embarrassed, "Excuse me, is there anything you would like to drink?"

Chen Huijie, who was standing behind Wei Yanwu, looked at Wei Yanwu with strange eyes. It was the first time she saw Wei Yanwu so uneasy and so respectful to someone.

"For today, how about black tea?" Xiyue smiled as she looked at Wei Yanwu who was fidgeting in front of her. "Don't be nervous. Just do your thing and go talk to them. I came here today just to talk to you about the status of the downtown area and some other things."

Wei Yanwu looked at Xiyue, the corners of his mouth twitching slightly. It’s because you are here that I can’t go and talk to Rhodes Island.

"There shouldn't be any problems in the Lower City recently. Speaking of which, Lao Lin seemed to have said that someone from the Integration Movement came over recently, but it seemed like they were looking for someone, and nothing has happened yet, so it shouldn't be this matter."

Wei Yanwu quickly went over the recent events in the Lower City in his mind, and only breathed a sigh of relief after making sure that nothing had gone wrong.

As long as Xiyue is not here to call for punishment, then everything will be fine. The pressure from the previous period, even if it was only for a moment, made Wei Yanwu break out in a cold sweat.
