Alligator's Ark of Tomorrow

A heavy figure crashed down, landing alone in the horde of beasts, and threw the nearly submerged agent far away.

"Galder?"

"Seria, take everyone and leave!"

Gard faced the cave entrance, grinning broadly with a grotesque smile.

"The big one is coming!"

A rumble of thunder echoed from the ground, mingling with the heavy rain outside.

Everyone saw a bull, more than ten times larger than the surrounding monsters, burst out of its underground cave and slam into Gard.

However, he held the axe in front of him and took the hit.

Gard did not back down an inch.

"You attacked?"

The crocodile-man let out a ferocious laugh.

"My turn!"

......

Chapter Fifty-Five: The Night of Bloodshed

Having visited the Scorching Lands once before, Gard was unwilling to return, largely due to the formidable enemies within.

He might die here by accident, or lose his way in anger.

However, the enemies in his eyes do not include these trashy people on the outside!

boom!

Facing the charge of the monstrous beast head-on, Gard swung his axe, colliding it with one of the beast's horns.

The sturdy bull horns withstood Gard's axe blow, but the price was a huge gash on the once-glorious horns, almost severing them completely.

Gard's axe blow sent the monster staggering, and taking advantage of the opportunity, he grabbed the monster by its horns and lifted it up completely.

No matter how powerful one is, once they leave the ground, they are lambs to the slaughter.

boom!boom!

Inside the sandcastle, there were small monsters the size of cattle and sheep everywhere. The dozen or so officers fought their way back and finally managed to climb onto two of the vehicles.

Saria stood alone at the front, her Originium Arts covering all the operators present, helping them withstand the attacks of these calamities.

Those who enter this hot land are all elites that Serea brought from the life of Rhine.

Not to mention fighting ordinary mercenaries, some of them have even participated in Colombia's territorial war against Bolivar, and are not lacking in experience in facing large groups of Originium Beasts.

There were many of these calamity beasts surging out from underground, but the most troublesome one had already been blocked by Gard. So after the initial panic, the Rhine Labs agents began to organize and work together to try to reclaim all the vehicles.

All of the convoy's supplies were on the vehicles. If they didn't recapture the vehicles, the supplies from just two vehicles would definitely not be enough to sustain them until the end of the mission.

Of course, if you die before that, there's nothing you can do.

"Boom—!!"

Gard slammed the calamity beast in his hand heavily onto the ground. Some of the smaller calamity beasts were unable to dodge in time and were all smashed into pieces.

If the monsters attacking the surrounding officers were just ordinary cattle and sheep...

So the one that attacked Gard was a heavy truck!

Even if a prey has grown a bit bigger, it is still prey in Gard's eyes.

The rainproof sandcastle was smashed and torn with a big hole by Gard's throw and smash.

The cold rain poured in, soaking Gard's body instantly.

"Roar--"

The calamity beast, which had gotten up from the ground, looked at Gard walking towards it and let out a threatening growl, but the growl didn't seem to come from its throat; it sounded more like it was coming from its stomach.

Because the monster in front of them didn't have a head, let alone a neck.

Its head looked as if it had been chopped off, leaving only a blurry face embedded in where its neck used to be, and its horns didn't grow on its head, but rather on its shoulders.

The answer to the beast's growl came from the great axe in Gard's hand.

The nearly four-meter-tall monster collided with Gard, who was only a little over two meters tall. It was the giant monster that was constantly pushed back. Gard could even leap up and deliver a jumping slash, smashing its headless body into the ground.

The only redeeming quality is that this monstrous beast is tough enough that even Gard wouldn't be able to kill it in a short time.

More and more small monsters emerged. After the Rhine Labs agents reclaimed the vehicle, they climbed onto it. Serea stood at the back, shouting loudly.

"Gald!"

"You guys go first!"

No sooner had Gard finished speaking than another large hole appeared in the ground, and a second giant calamity beast rushed out, trying to carry Gard away.

As a result, Gard twisted his body and, the instant the second calamity beast, the bull, raised its head, smashed his own axe down.

The cold blood splattered all over Gard.

"Hoo, Gard, calm down, now is not the time to fight."

Smelling the fragrance of blood in the air, and suppressing the urge to stay and kill the two monstrous beasts, Gard turned and ran towards the direction where the Rhine Life vehicle had driven away.

Sometimes Gard would have this thought: wouldn't it be more enjoyable if he didn't go into the hot land with the Rhine Life people?

This is beyond question.

For Gard, while the Rhine Lab's agents could offer some assistance, apart from Seria being slightly stronger, the others, including Kanerian, were merely a burden.

For example, right now, Gard could have fought to the very end and killed the two calamities, but he had to turn around and leave in order to protect a group of Rhine Lab's operators.

It's like being halfway through a jungle game when you realize your teammates are all pinging for your help.

But Gard had no complaints, because this was the path he had chosen.

Choosing between humanity and bestiality.

He needed something to restrain himself, to prevent him from completely losing himself in his thirst for blood and battle.

Now it seems the results aren't that good.

Looking at the two injured monsters, Gard reluctantly left. His slightly scarlet eyes startled the two monsters, who had intended to give chase, causing them to stop abruptly.

"Gald, are you alright?"

Waiting at the back of the convoy, Serea breathed a slight sigh of relief as she watched Gard break free from the encirclement of the monsters.

"I'm fine, how could I be in trouble?"

Gard grinned, and the taste of blood in his gums made Seria's hand holding the shield stiffen.

However, upon closer inspection, it was found that Gardner seemed to be no different from usual.

"Seria, what's wrong?"

"No, it's nothing."

Suppressing the strange feeling in her heart, Serea saw that Gard had already rushed to the front of the convoy.

Without Gard leading the way, the convoy would definitely have had to take many more winding roads.

Moreover, it's nighttime now, and they would never want to advance at this time if their camp hadn't been attacked.

It was a great pleasure to visit the place where I had stopped during my visit.

With Kanerian's help, a new camp was rebuilt.

To prevent a recurrence of the previous incident, this time Serea specifically reinforced the ground and refined the calcium beneath the camp.

In this way, some of the calamity beasts from the ground can no longer pose a threat to the camp.

They were already preparing to rest, but after what just happened, everyone felt extremely exhausted.

However, some people must be left behind to keep watch.

"Mallen, Duke, Willie, Gavin, the four of you and I will guard three sides of the sandcastle. The rest of you, rest. Danny, Charles, Bart, Benson, you rest for four hours and then rotate. Crest..."

The orders were issued in an orderly manner, and almost everyone received their assigned tasks.

However, some people have noticed one thing.

"Director Seraya, aren't you going to rest tonight?"

"No."

Serea looked at the Katas girl and shook her head.

“I’m in charge of keeping watch at night, and I’ve also rested during the day.”

In fact, Serea didn't get any rest during the day because of the rain and the humid environment in the middle.

Furthermore, the continuous use of Originium Arts kept her on edge.

But she wouldn't say such things out loud, because she knew there were people who were more tired than her, and that Gard had to face far more than she did.

Gard is the one who needs rest the most!

“Seria, I can temporarily take turns with you. You know, my physique is much stronger than you think. Going without sleep for a few days is nothing to me.”

Gard looked over; he was serious. The current battle was just a minor skirmish for her, far from enough to tire him out.

"Gald, I'm not as fragile as you think!"

"All right!"

Gard shrugged; if anything did happen, he would wake up immediately.

This time, Gard did not choose to lie down by the window.

This way we can get further away from Seria.

He admitted that he had a crush on Serea, but he already had two partners and couldn't continue to philander.

Gard closed his eyes, and as his thoughts quieted down, the bloodlust in his heart slowly subsided.

When Seria saw where Gard was lying, she for some reason recalled the scene yesterday when Gard lay next to her. She wasn't blind; how could she not have noticed Gard's furtive glances?

However, Gard's gaze made her feel somewhat at a loss for what to do.

If you can't sleep, you can get up and chat with her.

Why were you stealing glances at her?

It was precisely because Gald hadn't slept all night that Serea wanted him to get some more rest.

But seeing him so far away, Serea was a little bothered.

Ok?

Why did she experience this emotion?

Sera breathed a soft sigh of relief and leaned against the window, watching the lightning and thunder outside—a weather that seemed completely out of place in a desert.

She took out a bag of compressed biscuits that were slightly deformed from being squeezed, tore open the packaging, and chewed the biscuits into pieces before swallowing them.

No matter the era, food created solely to fill one's stomach can never be considered delicious.

A bottle of water and a pack of compressed biscuits.

Sleepiness washed over her, and Seraya forced herself to keep her eyes open.

There were no entertainment facilities; all we could hear was the incessant sound of rain outside, and the occasional roars of monsters.

Time ticked away.

Seria didn't notice that one of the agents had accidentally dozed off because he was so tired.

On the windowsill he was in charge of, another officer yawned, preparing to wake his colleague.

The instant he turned his head, a huge mouth appeared out of thin air.

Warm blood splattered on the face of the officer who had accidentally fallen asleep, causing him to groggily open his eyes and lift his head.

A pair of lights, difficult to see, drooping, blowing, enduring, Pan...
