Alligator's Ark of Tomorrow

Unfortunately, Gard did not give Shawei the chance to voice his conjecture.

The power of ascension filled the Sand Guard's body, tearing him to pieces.

The Sand Guard's strength lies in its near-immortal physical characteristics. However, it was subdued by Gard from the beginning, losing its most powerful characteristic, and the Sand Guard's fate was already sealed.

……

Chapter Forty-Seven: "Not a Loss"

"Elliot, our deal is complete."

After killing Sha Wei, there were no other enemies around.

Gard looked at Elliott and said solemnly, "The confidence of King Ibart in cracking down on the underground black market comes from the City of Gold. I killed this Sand Guard, but that doesn't mean there won't be a second or third Sand Guard."

"You need to prepare in advance."

Gard knew that Elliott and King Ibart were enemies, but his relationship with Elliott wasn't good enough for him to risk offending a king for Elliott's sake.

Moreover, even if Gard were willing to do so, Elliot certainly wouldn't be happy about it.

The best way to kill your enemy is to do it yourself.

“I understand. I will prepare all the supplies for you, which may take a day.”

Elliott nodded. The supplies Gard mentioned were nothing to him. Apart from some vehicles needing further modifications, there were plenty of other items on the black market.

"As long as the supplies are ready, I can set off at any time!"

After all this trouble, we can finally enter the scorching land of the Burning Winds. Even Seraya couldn't help but clench her fists at this moment.

However, now is not the time to relax.

They had only completed the preliminary preparations; the real test would come once they entered the land.

Moreover, it is difficult to guarantee that this incident will not be discovered by King Ibart. The best course of action is to wait until the main force enters the hot land and then have all the other logistics personnel evacuate from the Ibart region.

If possible, on their return journey, they will choose to bypass the Ibart region and take another route back to Colombia.

Without substantial evidence, a king's suspicions have little impact on a large research institution far away in Colombia.

For some reason, even though she was about to enter the hot land and go to the most dangerous forbidden area of ​​Terra, Seria felt no confusion or hesitation. It was as if someone had lifted up her burden and taken half of it away from her.

This feeling is one of trust, the joy of finally having a comrade-in-arms to fight alongside you.

"Galder".

"Ok?"

"If you've finished your work, do you want to come to Rhine Life?"

"Ha, what do you think I could do in there? Work as a security guard?"

"Can't I?"

"Unless you give me your position as head of security."

"Okay, I'll go through the resignation process when I get back."

"Hey, I was just kidding!"

“But I think you are capable of being the head of security.”

Serea said with a serious expression, she wasn't joking, she really thought so.

"But I have no idea how to handle documents; that kind of thing is too troublesome."

"I can help you!"

"You really want to lure me to Rhine Life Sciences?"

Serea thought for a moment and nodded very seriously.

"Ah."

She had witnessed Gald's strength and character firsthand. If he could join Rhine Labs, Rhine Labs' defense capabilities would definitely be greatly enhanced.

As for signing documents, she is still doing that now, but she has stepped down from the position of head of the defense section. She is also in charge of the commerce section, engineering section and human resources assessment section. Stepping down from the position of head of the defense section is actually easier for her.

"So what are the benefits like there? Do you have the five social insurances and one housing fund? Do you provide meals and accommodation? Let me make it clear, I have a huge appetite."

In fact, Gard had also considered this matter. If he could control his anger, staying in the city would definitely be more convenient than staying in the rainforest.

Moreover, Laurentina is used to living in the underwater city of Argoll, so it would definitely not be good for her to live in the rainforest.

The only question is whether Colombia has a crime of bigamy.

Would it be illegal for him to marry two wives in Colombia?

"We always offer excellent benefits to outstanding talents from outside the region, and each department head has their own independent villa with furniture and decoration designed by professional designers. If you have any special requirements, you can also tell us."

“You mentioned before that you wanted to enroll in a school here. I can recommend you to my alma mater. If you can graduate from Trimont Polytechnic University, your future development and employment prospects will be greatly improved.”

“You can choose to be a day student. Although it will be a bit tiring, the gains will be just as great. And if you don’t understand anything, you can ask me, and I will help you as much as possible…”

It's clear that Serea really wants Gard to join Rhine Lab; she explains things Gard doesn't understand very carefully.

This serious and earnest demeanor did not make Gard feel distant; on the contrary, he found it somewhat endearing and also somewhat pitiful.

Because Gard knew the pressure Serea was under.

Serea loves the company she built with her own hands and wants to make it even better, to realize the bright future she once promised.

During this process, she was bound to encounter many misunderstandings and dissatisfactions, but she silently endured them all.

Gard was the first person who could help her share these burdens.

Because Gald, who came from the rainforest, had no ambition, his house was full of red gold ore, and with his strength, he could become the great chief of the Akahura region at any time.

In the Akahura region, the Great Chief's status is no less than that of the King Chief, and may even far exceed it.

The crocodile man had no other pursuits or desires besides wanting to marry two wives.

But perhaps that's just the way things are in the rainforest.

As the saying goes, "When in Rome, do as the Romans do," and Serrea did not interfere with Gard's desire to marry two wives.

Because when Gard is not fighting, he has a really good temper. Even when he is crazy in battle, it is only directed at the enemy. He would even risk his life alone to protect the people in his tribe.

This practice is not encouraged, but who wouldn't want someone to stand in front of them when they are in danger?

However, who is the other one of the two wives Gard wanted to marry, besides Gavial?

Although she had met Laurentina, Seria did not realize how close Laurentina and Gard were because of the language barrier.

The conversation from that night kept replaying in her mind, and Serea felt a little irritated.

Until she heard Gard's reply.

"Since you've put it that way, Serea, then I'll respectfully comply."

Since he doesn't know anyone anywhere else, he might as well cling to Serea's coattails.

As for what will happen to Rhine's life in the future.

How could Gard possibly allow his own company to run into trouble?

Beside Seria, the crocodile man walked alongside her, his tall figure not far from hers.

For some reason, when the crocodile man accepted her invitation, the slight irritation in Seraya's heart suddenly disappeared. She stopped thinking about those messy things and stopped thinking about a certain guess in her heart.

Let nature take its course.

Whatever Gard's motives, by bringing him to Rhine Lab, she won't necessarily suffer a loss.

The two left side by side, completely ignoring the other person.

"Hey, wait for me!"

After crawling out of the pile of debris, Gard casually tossed her dozens of meters away, leaving her feeling like her body was about to fall apart.

Kanerian will remember this grudge!

……

(Chapter 3, before 11 PM.)

Chapter Forty-Eight: Entering the Hot Land

"Hey, are you guys really going in? Let me make this clear beforehand: if anything happens to you, I absolutely will not be going in to save you!"

They had initially thought that the obstruction from King Ibart would delay their entry into the Foehn Basin, but unexpectedly, Seria and Gard managed to sort out the supplies after a short trip.

Muse was slightly annoyed; she was waiting for news from headquarters.

No matter what, entering the hot land is too dangerous. It's one thing for that tough-skinned Adakles crocodile man to be safe, but if something happens to Seria, who will be in charge of the defense department in the future?

"This was decided long ago. I will lead a small team in, with Gard as our guide. We will definitely obtain the medicine as soon as possible."

Before Mulce could refute, Serea looked at the kobold vice-captain.

"Olba, I'm entrusting Director Mulsey and Director Parvis to you. Please make sure they are brought back safely."

"Leave it to me, Director Seria. Please make sure you come back safely."

"Ah."

Parvis's aged face showed some guilt: "I'm sorry, Director Seria, I should have gone with you, but my health..."

“It’s alright, Director Parvis. It’s already quite an achievement that you’ve persevered this far. I believe I will eventually bring the medicine back.”

"I look forward to the day when you return, Director Serea."

Parvis smiled kindly, his heart yearning to return to his research lab at Rhine Lab. In just a few days, the fleshy mass of Hai Si had actually developed into an embryo the size of a fist.

However, because the nutrients in the culture dish had been exhausted, the embryo stopped growing, which greatly worried him.

Fortunately, the vitality of the embryo far exceeded his expectations. After discovering that there were no more nutrients to absorb, Hai Si began to try to destroy the culture dish.

However, upon discovering that the object trapping it was extremely hard, the Haisi embryo stopped resisting and shrank into a tight ball of fibrous flesh.

Hai Si's intelligence far exceeded his imagination. He decided that once he returned, he would immediately apply for the most robust research equipment and make sure Hai Si could not escape.

Unfortunately, Serea went to the hot land, and it's questionable whether she can come back alive.

Palvis thought regretfully.

Otherwise, with Serea in charge of the defense division, they would be much safer conducting their research.

"Seriously, is this the only thing we can drive in? There's no smart navigation, no automatic transmission, it's totally something from decades ago."

Arriving in the wilderness outside Qinjiao Town, after receiving supplies from Elliot, Pero, codenamed Graystone, scratched his head, looking at the clutch, brake, and accelerator under his feet, feeling a chill run down his spine.

"Hey, has any of you ever driven a manual dune buggy? This thing is completely different from the cars we usually drive!"

After searching for a while, he finally found the window button, rolled down the window, and popped his head out to ask.

"I told you to take the manual transmission test when you took your driving test, but you didn't listen. In some remote areas, there are far more manual transmission cars than automatic transmission cars."

"But automatic transmission is simple!"

Graystone muttered to himself, adding that the price of learning manual transmission at the driving school was much higher than that of automatic transmission. When he was taking his driving test, he never imagined that he would one day be on a mission in Salgon.

"You get in the passenger seat, I'll drive!"

A brown-haired female agent from the Pelvic Territory, wearing only a vest, climbed into the car. Her plump buttocks landed on the seat, and as she sat down, her large breasts swayed with the up-and-down motion. Agent Perot quickly turned her head away.

What are you doing?

"I...I feel a little dizzy!"

"Hmph, I haven't even driven a car yet, how pathetic."

Elliott delivered a total of six vehicles to Rhine Labs. Since there were no particularly large trucks, each vehicle carried an average of only three or four people.

There were initially thirty agents who agreed to enter the scorching land of the Burning Wind, but eleven of them backed out in the end.

They are Rhine Life's employees, so it's only natural for them to work for Rhine Life.

If it's a regular task, although there are risks, if something really happens, just consider it bad luck.

But the scorching hot land is practically a death sentence. Even though they found a local native who supposedly came out of the hot land alive, didn't they see that he himself didn't want to go in the first place?

So, although they all signed insurance and received a large bonus when they first arrived, in the end, only nineteen people were willing to follow Serea into the hot land.

Serea wouldn't criticize her for this, because even she herself wasn't very confident about this mission.

However, her strong-willed nature wouldn't allow her to back down here.
