Alligator's Ark of Tomorrow

But coincidentally, there was another person in the same age group as her, Gard.

It's the same Adakles, but he's as strong as a monster.

"Bang----!"

As the fist flew out, Gard did not react, simply letting Gardell's attacks land on him.

The thick leather armor completely blocked Gavial's attack.

Gard only felt something pat him in the waist area.

Gavial was already very strong, but it wasn't enough for Gard.

This is a difference in physical strength!

"You bastard!"

Having missed his first strike and realizing that his strength couldn't even break through Gard's defense, Garvel gritted his teeth and immediately considered retreating to regroup.

But how could Gard give her a chance?

"Gavial, I won't show any mercy!"

Just as Gavial was about to run away, Gard reached out and grabbed at the air.

"Ruthless hunter!"

Gavial's body froze instantly.

"!?"

Having never seen Gard use his skills before, the moment his body stiffened, Gavial knew that his only advantage had vanished.

She saw a fist the size of a sandbag coming towards her. She only had time to raise her arm in front of her before the image of herself being punched and sent flying flashed through her mind.

However, the fist stopped an inch in front of Gavial's arm and did not fall.

"Alright, that's enough for now."

Under Gavial's stunned gaze, Gard pinched her cheek, making her yell in anger.

"Gald, it's not over yet, this doesn't count!"

"But you just saw it, you can't beat me at all!"

"I haven't fallen yet!"

"I'll make you lie down sooner or later, but before that, let me figure out how to control my size."

Even a deep-sea hunter like Laurentina couldn't stand him, let alone Gavial. Gard was genuinely afraid that he might accidentally ruin Gavial.

"Alright, alright, stop being stubborn. When I get back, I'll grant you one request."

Gard couldn't resist patting Gavial's head; because he was so tall, it felt quite nice to touch.

Before he could touch her for long, Gavial slapped him away.

"Don't touch my head, it makes me look like a little kid!" Garville said, displeased.

Despite saying that, Gavial remained very polite and respectful.

"Any request is acceptable?"

"As long as it doesn't violate my principles, it's fine."

"Hmph, who knows what your principles are?"

Gavial turned his head away, but his eyes kept glancing at Gard out of the corner of his eye.

"Hey, do you remember the promise we made when we were kids?"

"What agreement?"

"Damn it, you really forgot!"

If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't beat Gard, Gavial would definitely have punched Gard a couple of times.

"In short, I want you to keep our original promise!"

Gavial looked at Gard and said fiercely.

"That's my request!"

......

(While looking at the data, I suddenly realized something: Gavial's height of 163cm is normal, but Temimi... is only 142cm.)

Chapter Thirty-Four: Farewell

"Ulysses, have you prepared what I asked you to prepare?"

"I'm all ready... but really, shouldn't we tell Director Serea?"

“Heh, Ulysses, you should know the company’s current predicament. We must produce some research results that can convince investors in order to reverse the company’s decline. We can’t keep relying on Director Serea and General Christen’s administration.”

At Rhine Life's camp, a gaze fell upon a culture vessel placed in a container, inside which floated a small piece of flesh and blood.

“Every experiment carries risks. Our task as researchers is to minimize the risks in experiments as much as possible, but that doesn’t mean we should stop when we encounter danger.”

The old hand picked up the petri dish.

"Look, what a tenacious life! Even when the body is shattered and only the most basic muscle tissue remains, it still seems to breathe, absorbing nutrients from the petri dish."

"And I'm sure it wasn't contaminated by Originium."

“Ulysses, don’t forget why we came here. Even if we do find what we’re looking for in this land, we may not be able to deduce its ingredients and manufacturing process.”

The old man patted the middle-aged scholar on the shoulder.

“Ulysses, I think you should understand that scientific research cannot always focus on one direction; there must be people who raise objections.”

"Then why can't it be me?"

"Rather than placing your hopes on vague and illusory things, you should focus on what you can have."

The image of Gard easily defeating Hai Si flashed through his mind, and Ulysses nodded with certainty.

“I understand, Pa…”

"Mr. Parvis, have you collected everything you wanted?"

Serea's voice came from behind, and Ulysses' heart tightened. The old man beside him, however, calmly put the glass petri dish back into the container, his kind smile still on his face.

"Director Seria, we are ready and can depart at any time."

“Okay, we contacted King Ibart before we came. Director Mulsey will be there to meet us and prepare the supplies we need for the operation.”

Serea did not notice anything unusual about the old man's actions. The container contained many biological samples from the Akahura region, including some biological tissues.

She had already checked and confirmed that no researcher had left any of Haisi's biological samples without authorization.

She knew very little about the creatures called Haizi, but Gald had reminded her that she had fought Haizi and knew how terrifying they were.

"Hehe, Director Mulsey must be getting impatient over there. We've wasted too much time here."

"But it was all worth it!"

Gard has agreed to their request and is willing to lead the way.

What's the point of taking notes compared to having Gard himself personally leading the team?

With Gard's own formidable strength, the expedition's safety will be even more assured.

"Serya, is your team ready to set off?"

In the distance, Gard's tall figure approached. He didn't carry much, only his large axe, a backpack containing a few books, a notebook, and several pens.

The Rhine people will provide water and food, and even if there is nothing, given Gard's constitution, he won't die even if he doesn't eat or drink for dozens of days.

But nobody likes the feeling of being hungry.

"Okay."

Serea turned around and saw Gavial standing next to Gard.

"Is Miss Gavial going too?"

"I'm just a little worried about this guy."

Gavial punched Gard's steel-plated leather armor with his fist and curled his lip.

"Seria, you have to keep an eye on him for me. If anything happens to him, I won't let you off the hook!"

"Of course, we will definitely ensure Mr. Gard's safety..."

She couldn't finish her sentence and had to change her mind.

“We will take good care of Mr. Gard, and whatever reward he desires afterward, we will do our best to satisfy him.”

Upon hearing their conversation, Gard immediately became dissatisfied.

"Hey, don't make me sound like a child. In Salgon, it's not always clear who'll take care of whom!"

A few years isn't enough time for such a large country like Sargon to undergo significant changes. After leaving four years ago, Gard made quite a few friends and acquaintances.

"Our first stop is the Ibart region? I happen to know a black market boss there. I saved his life once. Asking him for a small favor shouldn't be a problem."

"If necessary, we hope that you, Gard, can introduce us to them."

Wang Qiu is Wang Qiu, and the leader of the underground black market is the leader of the underground black market.

If they could cultivate a good relationship with a leader of the underground black market, it would be very beneficial for Rhine Life.

But Gard rejected her.

"Let's just forget about it. Although that guy is Colombian, he really dislikes Colombians."

"If we had to say, we Salgonians are pretty much the same."

“If I hadn’t saved him, don’t expect him to give me any courtesy.”

Gard shrugged. Before he left, the guy was still thinking about taking revenge on the chieftain of the Ibar region. He wondered if he had succeeded.

"That's a real shame."

Upon hearing what Gard said, Seria had no choice but to abandon her plan.

"Everyone pack your things, get ready to go!"

Having spent almost a month in the rainforest, both the ordinary researchers and the security personnel responsible for protection at Rhein Life Sciences were already getting impatient.

Although I later discovered that the Adakles people in the rainforest were actually quite easy to understand, as civilized people from a civilized country, none of them really considered fighting as entertainment.

Rhine Life's SUV looks just like a big truck. Although Gard couldn't sit in the driver's seat, he could hide in the back compartment to read a book, which was also air-conditioned.

When Temimi first experienced an air conditioner, her mouth dropped open in surprise, and she almost didn't want to go outside.

But in the end, she was still thrown out by Gard.

"We're not going out for fun!"

After saying goodbye to Gavial and telling her to take care of herself, Gard sat in the SUV and took out his diary.

"In June of the year 1091 in the Terra calendar, I left Akahura and went once again to the land of Foehn."

"When I come back, I will definitely be stronger."

"Become fearless of any separation!"

At the very end, the crocodile-man drew a small crocodile head.

Next to the crocodile head is Laurentina smiling with her shark teeth showing, and Gavial's chibi-style avatar looking unhappy and wanting to punch himself.

Then, I closed the diary.

The convoy has set off.

......

Chapter Thirty-Five: Travelers in the Desert

Salgon is a country located in the southwestern part of the Terra continent. It borders Minos to the northeast, Iberia to the southeast, Colombia (a country that has become increasingly prosperous in recent years) and the remote Bolivar to the north, and the Foehn region, known as the Forbidden Land, to the south.

Gard's hometown, Akahura, is located southeast of Sargon, near Iberia and the sea.

In fact, after leaving the rainforest, heading west, you will soon see the daunting sandy desert.

However, after spending a month in the rainforest, the Rhine Life Reserve had been partially depleted, and they had to go to the nearest, and agreed upon, supply point to resupply.
