"Duke Wei, what should we do next..."

Hei Suo's voice came from behind the screen. These former guards who came out of the Dayan Palace were a little confused about the current situation, but they understood that in today's Longmen, there was a force trying to stir up trouble amidst the mixed crowd of good and bad people, which they would never allow.

"For now, let's proceed with the business cooperation with Rhodes Island based on the situation. At the moment, they have no hostility towards Longmen. We will treat them with normal expectations. As for those so-called outliers..."

Wei Yanwu held his forehead, then took a deep puff from the pipe in his hand, puffing smoke into the air, and only spoke slowly after a while.

"Strengthen the security forces in the slums, and contact Rhodes Island to request a photo of the Sarkaz named Theresa. Then quickly issue a corresponding wanted notice, whether it's an online electronic wanted notice or an offline wanted notice, so that everyone in Lungmen can see it!"

"Yes!"

Watching Hei Shan leave, Wei Yanwu fell back on his office chair and took a deep breath, feeling tired in his heart.

Forget it, now is not the time to sigh. Instead of sighing here, you might as well think about how to break the deadlock.

Governor Wei of Longmen was worried about the situation in the slums at the moment, and was thinking of issuing a warrant for the arrest of a Sarkaz named Theresa throughout Longmen.

At this time in the Longmen slums, Theresa was walking on the street in a pretty good mood.

She used illusion to make her appearance look different from Theresa's to people outside. After all, even though most people in the slums didn't see her face clearly at that time, as a Sarkaz, and a Sarkaz infected with oripathy, she would not be very popular even in the slums.

This is a relatively lively area in the slums. Various small vendors are located on both sides of the road, selling their goods to the surrounding areas. In addition, there are also some shops such as fruit and vegetable shops and butcher shops in the slums.

From this point of view, except that the slums can accept infected people, the overall difference is not much different from the inner ring of Longmen.

But just as Theresa was strolling around, a purple-haired Carters came towards her. The test-taker stumbled, as if he was avoiding something, and bumped directly into Theresa's arms without looking forward.

Theresa subconsciously supported the other person, but in the next second she felt something and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"I'm sorry, miss. I was in a hurry and didn't look at the road. I accidentally bumped into you. I'm really sorry."

"It's okay, it's okay, just be more careful when you walk next time."

After comforting the little girl from Carters, Theresa watched her turn and walk into the alley, with a smile on her face growing wider.

After running into the alley, Carters immediately hid in a corner, smiled and reached into his arms to check his results, but what he touched was not the big and soft wallet he had imagined, but a hard object.

"Ok?"

When he took it out and took a look, Carters, who was called Ansuo, saw something like a huge watch, but the face of the watch was not filled with hour and minute hands, but a very ferocious-looking ghost face.

"This...this is..."

"Hey, little sister, stealing... is wrong."

"Ah? Ah! Ahhhhhh!"

Chapter 135: Frost Star: I Need More Devil Fruits

"Okay, Miss Frost Star, this is your physical examination report. According to various indicators, your mineralopathy has been effectively controlled.

Mr. Bozhuocasti's various indicators have also stabilized, but for future considerations, we still do not recommend that he engage in high-intensity activities, such as combat."

Shuangxing took the physical examination report handed over by Yaye. Although she could not fully understand the meaning of the various indicators on it, she still knew the data about the content of Originium in the blood and the crystals on the body surface.

At present, these two data have stopped changing and are stable in a relatively stable range. Moreover, more than half a month has passed since the last attack of mineral sickness. During this half month, Frost Star has never felt so relaxed.

Bodracasti also spent a very leisurely period of time. The Wendigo, who was already over 200 years old, was not used to this leisurely life at first. But later, Hellagur brought his adopted daughter to Rhodes Island to receive treatment for oripathy. With the company of his former leader, Bodracasti began to accept this relaxed life.

Nain, Herag's adopted daughter, is the daughter of the old general's former comrade-in-arms. After that comrade died in the purge of the Ursus Empire, he adopted Nain.

This infected girl also gave the old general the opportunity to devote himself to the cause of infected people.

And speaking of Nain, when Hellagur took her to see Bodracasti, she seemed very resistant to this terrifying-looking Wendigo. Bodracasti initially treated her as the daughter of her former leader.

But later, Nain gradually accepted the appearance of Bozhukastir. When the girl called him "Uncle Bozhukastir", this old warrior who had fought against countless demons on the battlefield and confronted the Ursus army fell in love with her.

Even though the Originium crystals had spread to her throat, when Nain asked to hear a story, Bozhukast would take out a storybook and read it to her. Sometimes he and Hellagur would tell Nain the story of their past.

This behavior even made Shuangxing feel that her father was leaving her for a period of time. The different treatment at certain times made Shuangxing wonder who was the old stubborn adopted daughter between herself and Nayin?

But later, when Hellagur asked why Bodrakast's attitude towards Nein had changed so drastically, the somewhat dull warrior's words completely dispelled any resentment in Froststar's heart.

"Naiyin, it reminds me that when Yelena was little, she also liked to listen to my stories before going to bed."

"Old stubborn!!!"

That day, the entire medical department heard the white rabbit's shrill cry.

Pushing open the door of the ward, as expected, he saw Herag and Nayin coming to Bozhukasti's ward again, putting the examination sheet on the bedside, and the three of them looked at the white rabbit who came in at the same time.

"How about it?"

Bozhukas asked Froststar.

"As usual, all indicators have stabilized. The doctor said that unless anything unexpected happens, our conditions have stabilized and we won't be getting worse for some time. Dr. Kal'tsit also gave us advice from the medical department, saying that if we observe for a few more days and the Originium index doesn't rise again, we can return to Canaan."

Canaan.

Hearing the name, Bozhukas's eyes flickered, and a smile appeared on Hellagur's lips.

After capturing the city, Bozocasti, one of the main forces in the battle, did not stay in the city for long before being sent to Rhodes Island for recuperation. More than a month had passed since then.

After sending Nein here, Hellagur could easily travel back and forth between Canaan and Rhodes Island through the Anywhere Gate. Every time he traveled back and forth, he would tell Bodracasti and Froststar about the changes in Canaan.

Although it has only been over a month and Canaan is still in a state of disrepair, various facilities have begun to be rebuilt.

With the help of some experts and support personnel sent by Lungmen and Rhodes Island, as well as the Xumagia, Canaan's infrastructure is recovering rapidly, and the tireless Xumagias account for the vast majority of the credit in this regard.

As for these intelligent machines, which looked no different from normal Terrans except for the mechanical earpieces in their ears, the Lungmen people and the Rhodes Island personnel were amazed for a while, but then gradually got used to each other's presence during their growing cooperation.

Even the personnel sent by Longmen brought news about Xumajia back to Longmen. In some small circles, word had begun to spread that Rhodes Island, which was currently docked on Longmen, was producing an intelligent robot named Xumajia that was very similar to humans, but with better average indicators than humans.

According to rumors, this type of intelligent robot can quickly acquire some basic or even advanced skills through data transmission, and will be used in a series of industries in the future, such as logistics and transportation, medical rehabilitation, education, security, engineering construction, etc.

Several voices have begun to emerge within Longmen. One is a boycott of Xumagia, another is disdain, and the rest is expectation.

The natural resistance is worry. If Xu Majia is really that good, will he replace me in the future?

In order to protect their own future lives, they have called for a boycott of Xumagia's entry into Longmen, and even the embryonic form of the intelligent machine conspiracy theory has appeared in their calls.

Those who look down on Xumagia naturally do not believe that Xumagia has such high performance. Terra is not without intelligent machines. For example, the various work platforms launched by Thor Industries are also a type of intelligent machine.

However, they are not only expensive to manufacture, but also have a limited range of use, and are absolutely impossible to replace humans in the workplace. The so-called magical Xumagia is probably similar to the intelligent machinery of Thor Industries in their eyes. The reason why it is said to have such high performance is probably a marketing strategy of the company called Rhodes Island.

Therefore, their attitude is one of disbelief, disdain and waiting to be investigated.

As for those who are expecting it, they are more optimistic and have confidence in the future of mankind. They believe that even if Xumagia can replace human jobs, there are some areas where humans can never be replaced. For example, in some creative activities, machines controlled by artificial intelligence can never be better than humans themselves.

Furthermore, the Humagia were created by humans, so they certainly couldn't threaten humanity's status. So why not welcome them? Embracing new things is one of the fundamental requirements for humanity to continue moving forward.

The public opinions fermenting in Longmen were naturally partly due to Ark. After all, as a concept and artificial intelligence, Yak had an overwhelming advantage over Terra, whose Internet technology was not even as good as that of the Earth civilization in the 21st century. It was easy for him to incite public opinion on the Internet.

However, Ark only started the public opinion. After all, human beings, whether they are from Earth or Terra, will be somewhat blind when facing some noisy topics. As long as there is no need to deliberately guide them, and just create a topic, people will start arguing because of their different ideas.

The Internet, that's what it is.

After hearing that Xumagia was helping Canaan with its infrastructure construction at a rapid pace, Bozhukasti increasingly hoped to return to the city to see what their ideal city of infected people looked like now.

"Speaking of Canaan, Bodracasti, Tallulah has recently been leading a promotional effort about Canaan in the slums of Lungmen, and it's been quite fruitful."

After hearing Canaan, Herag remembered what he had seen and heard during his recent trip to the Lungmen slums.

It is said that after Talulah came to Longmen last time to take over the engineering repairs, she went to the slums on her own to promote Canaan, the future city of the infected. Although she was stopped by the Black Scarves later, after she entered and exited the Governor's Mansion of Longmen once, a pilot activity for the outbound appointment of infected workers was added to the cooperation between Canaan and Longmen.

The content is that Longmen is providing workers to support Canaan's infrastructure construction. However, because Canaan is currently positioned as a special zone for infected people, there are a large number of people with mineral sickness. If normal workers are sent out, there is a high possibility of accidentally contracting mineral sickness during the work process. To prevent this from happening, Longmen can only send workers who are infected.

The content and requirements of this cooperation seemed to be proposed by Longmen on his own initiative, and it was a harsh demand. However, considering Tallulah's previous activities, it was not difficult for everyone to think that the one who really made the compromise this time should be Governor Wei.

Of course, there are more than just this one new clause. Talulah has also made certain concessions. That is, in the future, the trade channels for the source stone minerals mined in Canaan must first consider foreign trade, that is, Longmen, and then be provided to Ursus.

Talulah agreed to this without hesitation. After all, she had never considered selling the Originium minerals to the nobles in Ursus.

As for what kind of reaction her behavior would cause in Ursus, Tallulah admitted that she had considered it, but not too much. After all, although Tallulah was nominally granted the status of Viscount by the Emperor of Ursus, and the title of Canaan Infected Special Zone was also given by the Emperor of Ursus, in the operation of more than a month, Canaan itself was more like an independent city-state, and its connection with Ursus was very weak. Even the current empire did not deploy any officials to Canaan. After all, in the original treaty, the Emperor of Ursus had already given Canaan complete autonomy.

In another sense, this actually means that the Ursus Empire has given up this small city, but if it is said that the Ursus Empire has given up the piece of Ursus territory occupied by Canaan, then it would be a big mistake.

At least according to the news Sergei obtained about the Ursus Parliament, a mobile city was rapidly approaching Canaan. This was probably the Empire's response to Canaan's independence.

"We still have a lot to do. The future crisis has not disappeared, and we cannot slack off."

Naturally, all this information has now reached Bozhukasti's ears, and he has also given his own very pertinent opinions.

"That's natural. In addition to recruiting infected people to join Canaan in the Lungmen slums, Tallulah has also delivered this intelligence to the northwest tundra. I believe the number of our allies will increase significantly in no time."

This process has actually been ongoing. Ever since the Emperor of Ursus announced Canaan as a special zone for the infected, this news has spread to the entire territory of Ursus in just one month.

The infected people in Ursus were shocked after hearing the news, but also had new hope. No matter whether it was true or not, they had to go and take a look. What if it was true, they could escape from the current life of fear. What if it was false... then it would be death no matter sooner or later. The infected people simply could not survive in the Ursus Empire, so they might as well try that faint hope.

So in just one month, the population of Canaan, or the number of people in the integration movement, has grown to more than 5000. Although the infected people who joined were a little disappointed with the current state of Canaan, it was a city belonging to the infected after all. Even if they lived in poverty, it was better than worrying about escaping death every day.

Everything is getting better and better. However, facing the crisis that is bound to come in the future, Canaan and the people of the Reunion Movement are not worried at all, but they are making the necessary preparations. After all, Ark, Bodracasti and Hellagur have all taught Tallulah the same truth. Although their statements are different, the bottom line is: despise the enemy strategically and take the enemy seriously tactically.

"Lord Kelsey, did you tell me how long the observation period is?"

Bozhukas looked towards Frost Star. He had been in Rhodes Island for a month. Canaan was getting better and better, and the ideal that Tallulah had once told him seemed to be coming true. No wonder he was a little impatient.

"It's just a few days. Dr. Kal'tsit only gave a range of four to six days. After six days at the most, if there are no problems with our bodies, Dr. Kal'tsit will go out and give the medical report to Tallulah, giving her medical approval for us to leave Rhodes Island and move from monitored treatment to stable treatment."

"Four to six days? I see."

It would only take six more days at most, which was not a problem for Bodracasti, who had already been in Rhodes Island for a month.

Even this Mr. Patriot has begun to think that after he returns to Canaan, he will let go and train those newly arrived infected people together with Herag.

As Bozhukas's surrogate daughter, Frost Star naturally understood the thoughts of her stubborn old man.

Perhaps it was because her own illness was under control, or perhaps it was because the integration movement had taken a new step towards its ideal, so that she could see the rare excitement of an idealist in Bodracasti.

Faced with such an old stubborn person, the newly infected people will definitely be trained very hard, probably at the same level as the guerrillas' shield guards.

Thinking that even on the tundra, in order to maintain combat effectiveness, Bodracasti would make strict training requirements for the shield guards day after day, Frost Star's eyes moved, and she could not help but mourn for those infected people who had just joined the Integration Movement.

But now I can do more.

As she thought this, she felt the Flame-Flame Fruit lock seed in her arms slowly heating up. In addition to the Flame-Flame Fruit, Froststar now also has the Ice Fruit, Shadow-Shadow Fruit, Poison-Poison Fruit, Wax-Wax Fruit, Thorn Fruit, and Meat-Puff Fruit. These devil fruit lock seeds all have unique abilities. Among them, Froststar has gradually mastered the use of the Ice Fruit, Shadow-Shadow Fruit, Poison-Poison Fruit, and Thorn Fruit, but she is a little confused about the more special fruits such as the Wax-Wax Fruit and the Meat-Puff Fruit.

After all, although the wax produced by the Wax-Wax Fruit can be harder than steel, Frost Star currently cannot think of what role these waxes can play in battle. After all, there are two natural fruits that are more powerful than the Wax-Wax Fruit, as well as powerful superhuman fruits such as the Shadow-Shadow Fruit and the Poison-Poison Fruit.

As for the last meat ball fruit, according to Frost Star's understanding, this fruit is a bit weird and cannot be understood for the time being. Maybe he can go to Fang Zhou to ask.

However, during this period of time, Fang Zhou has been teaching Amiya knowledge in various fields. He taught her swordsmanship some time ago, and now he seems to be strengthening her fighting skills.

Since they are all rabbits, Frost Star feels that she can also join Ark and Amiya's training.

Of course, it's just a thought. The snow monster princess would never do something like that.

However, he now has a total of seven Devil Fruit lock seeds, including the Flame-Flame Fruit. But after witnessing the power that can even distort and change time and history, Frost Star feels that it is still not enough.

Even if it is a natural fruit that is almost completely immune to physical attacks, how long can it last in the face of such power?

The power of time and history, is it because Amiya can achieve that level in the future that Ark values ​​her so much?

No wonder...

If there really was that level of power, no one would not care.

Thinking of this, Frost Star's need for power should be more serious, and then he thought of the Sakura Hurricane Lock Seed.

Ark had said before that if you take the Sakura Hurricane Lock Seed, you can go to another world called Heim, where there are devil fruit lock seeds everywhere.

If I could go there...

You can get more lock types by yourself. There may be some useless lock types like the Wax-Wax Fruit, but maybe there will also be devil fruit lock types that are more powerful than the Flame-Flame Fruit and the Ice Fruit?

Thinking of this, Frost Star's heart couldn't help but feel hot, and Bozhukasti, who felt that his daughter seemed to be suddenly excited, cast a puzzled look at her.

Chapter 136: Your sport is too niche

Anxiety~

At this moment, the third training ground of Rhodes Island was filled with a tense atmosphere.

Most of the operators cast their gazes towards the center of the training ground, not blinking, not daring to slack off in the slightest.

Kal'tsit stood in front of the crowd, her arms folded across her chest, impatience evident on her cold face, and her green eyes, cast towards the field, were filled with helplessness.

Amiya stood at the main console with a look of hesitation on her face. She was not mentally prepared for what was going to happen next. But Kolshiel next to her had a smile on her face as if she was looking for chaos in the world, and her eyes were staring at the training ground with sparkling eyes.

On the other side, Huafalin even moved a chair and set up a small table next to it, with popcorn and drinks on it. He held the telescope in both hands and put it in front of his eyes, making amazed sounds from time to time.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, a group of men in the center of the training ground were standing ready.

The training ground that was originally equipped with fitness equipment has now been transformed into a red and white track surrounding the training ground, highlighting what they are doing at the moment - a competition.

With sweat oozing out of his forehead, Ace replaced his sunglasses with more airtight windproof goggles to prevent sweat from flowing into his eyes and affecting his performance.
