People are on the Ark, assisting Oma Zi-O

The pink-haired Sarkaz picked up the room, glanced at an experimental report inside, and put it back in its place with a smile.

"Or should I say you've never thought about this question."

"Haha, 'Theoretical Design of the Third Generation Blocking Drug', Kal'tsit, Kal'tsit, you're really quick.

At present, the external source stone blocking drugs have only been developed to the second generation, and even the drugs widely used in external medical institutions are still only the first generation of blocking drugs.

And under these circumstances, you've even begun to theoretically design a third-generation blocking drug. Do you really want to defeat Originium?"

Theresa's tone was very complicated, but it disappeared in a moment.

"And this... 'The Overall Impact of Originium on Species and Life Forms'. Emmm, although I don't object to you doing this kind of research, I would be very distressed if you revealed the secret too early.

But never mind, after all, there's only less than a year left until that time, and by then none of these things will matter."

Theresa's eyes slowly scanned everything in the house.

This place belongs to Kal'tsit, without a doubt.

But a few years ago, this place belonged to another person on the ship.

Doctor.

He was awakened here in the past, and then traveled all over the land of Terra, and finally accepted the invitation of Theresa and Kal'tsit and joined the conflict on this land.

But after he woke up here, Kal'tsit sealed it up.

Until all of that was over, Kal'tsit modified this place and built it into her own secret laboratory, where she conducted research and development experiments on things that could not appear outside.

Of course, the most important thing is that this is decoupled from Rhodes Island's artificial intelligence system PRTS.

Of course, Kal'tsit's hand was involved in this.

Perhaps others just regard this PRTS as a useful artificial intelligence system, but as a remnant of the former civilization, Kal'tsit understands what the PRTS system really represents.

"So I'm a little angry, Kal'tsit."

After repeatedly pushing her bottom line, this little kitten she created seems to have become disobedient.

Disobedient children naturally need to be educated properly.

"It just so happens that the Doctor and little Amiya have both left here. Kal'tsit, I hope you'll like the gift I prepared for you to celebrate our long-awaited reunion."

Theresa said with a smile, holding a gray-black driving watch with a black flame pattern on it.

At this time, Kal'tsit, who was still busy, didn't know that she had been targeted by a cyber female ghost who had been holding a grudge for thousands of years.

Chapter 155: City of the Infected

Town Hall Square.

This is the large square in front of the Canaan City Government. Three tall flagpoles stand in the center of the square. The Ursus flag that was originally hanging high in the center has been moved to the left side. The flag of the Fourth Army on the right side has been replaced with a pure black flag. In the center, the logo of the Integration Movement is printed on a dark flag and flutters in the wind.

Talulah brought Alina and Sergei, and behind them were many of the current management of the Integration Movement. There was nothing in front of them, but they still waited with peace of mind.

Finally, under Tallulah's gaze, when the hour and minute hands of the watch on her wrist coincided at 12 o'clock, a pink door slowly appeared in front of them and then slowly opened.

The magical thing is that behind the thin door is no longer the scenery of the square, but a very bright-looking studio. Inside the door is a man wearing a steampunk-style helmet, and behind him is a Carters girl with tung brown hair who looks no more than thirteen or fourteen years old.

"Ark! And Amiya."

The moment she saw the person coming, the seriousness on Tallulah's face disappeared, and her bright smile made Alina beside her look at her sideways.

"You guys kept me waiting."

Before the two of them walked out of the portal, Tallulah walked up to them, shook the watch on her wrist, and there was a hint of blame in her tone.

"You're really punctual. You said you'd arrive at 12 o'clock, and you arrived at 12 o'clock, not even a second off."

Looking at the time on her watch, Tallulah marveled at the moment when the pink portal appeared in front of them at the exact moment when the second hand, minute hand, and hour hand completely overlapped at 12 o'clock.

Being able to grasp the timing to the second, just right, and knowing when to say it or not is a pretty terrifying ability.

Of course, it is not ruled out that this guy is hiding behind the door and looking at his watch to open the door at the right time.

"After all, this is an agreement. I've suffered the consequences of breaking an agreement before. Well, I really don't want to recall those days."

"?"

A question mark popped up in Tallulah's head. Fang Zhou always said something that they couldn't understand, but he was probably recalling some past events that only he knew.

"This time we also brought Froststar and Bozhukas back with us to replace the captain and the others."

"Oh, yes, Froststar is back with you this time, along with the Captain. Where are they?"

"We are here."

The cold voice seemed to be filled with ice and snow. Frost Star, who appeared from behind the Ark, looked at Tallulah with his eyes as if he were looking at a dead person.

"...Ahaha, so you've been here all along."

"Humph."

The cold snort pierced Tallulah like hail in a snowstorm, leaving her speechless with an awkward smile.

"If Fang Zhou hadn't mentioned me and the old stubborn man, you might not even remember us, Lord Viscount Tallulah."

"Hey! Didn't you tell me not to call me that?! I was wrong, isn't that okay?"

The word "Viscount" gave Tallulah goosebumps all the way from her tailbone to the top of her head, and her feet went numb to the top of her head. She then waved her hands repeatedly to beg for mercy.

"Le, you're still not used to your current status. You shouldn't be like that. Didn't you attend those aristocratic salons when you were with Kosice? What did they call you back then?"

Walking out of the portal, Amiya looked around curiously. The Canaan City at this moment was completely different from what she saw a month ago.

A month ago, this place looked a bit dilapidated because of Theresa and the alien Goliath. Coupled with the large-scale exodus of people, infrastructure measures were completely halted, so it looked particularly depressed.

Now, although the overall situation still does not look even one percent of Chernobyl's former prosperity, it has improved a lot. At least there are some pedestrians on the road now, and it can be seen that these people are infected.

However, compared to the infected people in other cities that Amiya had seen, these infected people were obviously much more energetic and spirited. If I had to describe it, it would be that there was light in their eyes.

Compared to the infected people Amiya saw in the lower city of Longmen, these infected people living in Canaan obviously have hope for tomorrow, instead of living in a daze, like zombies.

Noticing Amiya's gaze, a hint of pride flashed across Tallulah's face.

"How's it going, Amiya? You haven't been to Canaan since the last time you went to Longmen, right? Ark has been here twice, but you haven't been. How do you feel about it now? This is the city of infected people that we dreamed of."

The pride in Tallulah's tone was almost overflowing. Although Canaan was still too poor for a city, Tallulah had enough confidence that Canaan would become better in the future, in their own hands and through the efforts of the infected people themselves.

"Ah."

Amiya carefully observed the surrounding streets and the infected people on the streets, and noticed that Talulah and the current Canaan government managers were here, and the infected people also looked here curiously.

You can feel it.

Amiya could feel the positive emotions in the hearts of those infected people, which was completely different from the usual haze or the dark clouds hidden under the sun. These people really believed that their future would be better. They believed that as long as they lived in Canaan City, they would no longer have to worry about their identity as infected people and could have a better life.

so good.

Amiya felt it from the bottom of her heart. Those positive emotions were transmitted to Amiya's heart through the survival of civilization, making her happy as well.

"What a nice city, the city of the infected."

However, Amiya still has some other ideas in her mind. The City of the Infected sounds like a very good vision, but from another perspective, it only isolates the infected from the world. The outside world is still the world of normal people. The infected only live on such a small mobile plot, embracing such a dream city and living quietly, completely separating themselves from the outside world.

This is not the optimal solution that Amiya has in mind for the problem of infected people on Terra, but she also understands that the current situation does not allow for the emergence of that optimal solution. Only by slowly promoting it and slowly improving the status of the infected can one day in the future allow the pure white ideal in her heart to bloom on this land.

The scene before her made Amiya more determined to pursue her ideal, and her mood became happier.

"Right? Right now, the vast majority of people in this city are infected, and the population is very small. There are only about 30,000 registered residents. Some of them live in the agricultural areas of Canaan City, preparing their farmland for next year's planting. After all, Canaan City's finances are very tight, and solving its own food problem is extremely important."

As an infected city, it is conceivable that there are very few mobile cities in this land willing to engage in trade activities with Canaan City. Even if it has been recognized by Emperor Ursus, its existence itself violates the requirements of most superiors in this era.

Food, this most important thing can only be controlled by Canaan himself. This is why Tallulah asked to seize an agricultural block on the basis of seizing the core city when discussing future development plans.

Her goals are different from Kosice's.

After all, Koschei only needs to incite the infected to manipulate Chernobog's core city to crash into the gantry.

But Talulah, who dreams of letting the infected live proudly on this land, has a lot to consider.

Kosice's original plan was to use the Integration Movement as a one-time bomb to reunite the originally scattered Ursus and make Ursus strong again in the name of war.

Talulah's goal from the beginning to the end has been to make the infected stronger and give them a say in this land, so there are naturally many more things to consider.

"Ah, Captain, wait a moment."

Just as Tallulah was talking about the agricultural block issue, Fang Zhou suddenly seemed a little anxious behind her.

This made Tallulah and Amiya look sideways, but what they saw was Fang Ark taking out a green flashlight from his pocket, then adjusting the aperture and shining it in the direction of the portal.

And at this moment, on the other side of the Anywhere Door...

puff!

Although she knew that this was immoral, the moment she saw that scene, Tallulah laughed out loud in a very unscrupulous manner.

As we all know, the size of the portal is designed according to the body shape of a normal adult Homo sapiens, which is about two meters high and one meter wide.

This size is suitable for most Terrans, but it is not very friendly to some races that are naturally strong and tall.

such as……

The three-meter-tall Bozhukas looked at the small door in front of him helplessly.

The top of the door didn't even reach his neck, and it wasn't wide enough to accommodate his huge body.

This situation made the infected captain, who had been galloping in the wind and snow for several years to liberate the infected, recall his military career in Ursus for the first time.

I remember that when I first led the Wendigos to Ursus, I often faced this situation.

Although the Ursus are also very tall compared to other Terran races, they are still smaller than the Wendigos, and their various daily necessities are still smaller than those of these huge ancient Sarkaz.

Just like now.

The magnifying lamp once again demonstrated its magical power. The orange-yellow light shone on the portal, causing it to rapidly enlarge proportionally. In just a few seconds, the originally normal-sized portal became large enough for Bozhukasti to enter and exit easily.

The tall Wendigo set foot on this land again, but the difference from last time was that last time he came here with Tallulah to bring a new order, but this time, he came here with Froststar with a healthier body.

"Captain!"

"It's the Captain!"

"It's been a long time since I last saw the Captain! It's been a month already! Woohoo!"

"Asshole, why are you crying? Isn't the captain back?"

"I, I can't control it."

The moment Bodrakast appeared, the crowd behind Tallulah suddenly became agitated, especially the shield guards of the guerrillas belonging to Bodrakast. The moment they saw Bodrakast, they even spoke with tears in their voices.

God have mercy on him. After all, Bozhukas told about his health problems when he left, and the shield guards also knew that their captain's oripathy had developed and was in a serious condition. After he left, they were really worried that the tall Wendigo man would never come back.

Although he was the invincible captain in their eyes, they still felt that Oripathy was more invincible compared to the other two.

Of course, if they had seen that body with a 60% Originium-cell fusion rate fighting against Rhodes Island's elite operators dedicated to sieges, a "Demon King", and Originium monsters created by the previous civilization without any disadvantage, and even achieving a strong crushing victory in the early stages, they probably wouldn't be worried about their captain.

However, that history will never happen.

"Quiet!"

Tallulah's words were very useful. Soon, the crowd that had been in an uproar due to the appearance of Bozhukas quieted down at Tallulah's command.

Glancing at the Wendigo in front of her who was as tall as ever, and seeing that his flashing red eyes were even brighter than before he left, Tallulah knew that the Patriot Captain in front of her had recovered a lot and was even stronger than before he left Canaan.

"Look, me too. Why am I talking to you here? Come with me, let's go inside and talk."

Tallulah pointed to the city hall building not far away. The city hall building looked the same as before. After all, it was only a month's time. It was impossible for Tallulah to spend precious manpower and material resources on renovating the city hall building, which was meaningless to Canaan today.

On the way to the municipal building, several people also noticed that the chess pieces on the three sides in the center of the municipal government square were different from before.

"You see, hehe, these flags were only changed after Alina mentioned it. I took down the original Chernobyl city flag, the Ursus flag, and the Fourth Army flag to avoid looking at them. But then Alina told me that the Ursus flag should still be put up. Although our place is no different from an autonomous city now, it still belongs to Ursus in name. It would be a shame if other people with ulterior motives caused trouble because of this omission.

Now among these three flags, you are familiar with the Ursus flag. The black flag is the city flag of Canaan that Alina, Sergei and I finally discussed. Black is the color of Originium crystals, which is very consistent with our identity as the city of infected people in Canaan.

As for the one in the middle, it is the flag of our Reunion Movement. Although it is a little difficult to understand, in fact, compared with the name of Canaan, the City of the Infected, which sounds super good, the name of Reunion Movement is more famous nowadays.

When I asked some people to do some publicity before and mentioned the name of Canaan, the City of the Infected, many people expressed disdain, but when I mentioned the Reunion Movement, they all became interested.

Tallulah looked at the flag of the Integration Movement flying on the central flagpole, her eyes also full of excitement.

"Actually, it's because in Ursus, the name of the City of the Infected sounds too far-fetched. Many people find it hard to believe, thinking it's just a gimmick or a scam by the nobles. Even with the endorsement of the Emperor of Ursus, it's difficult for the infected to come into contact with such a thing. Even if they did, they might not believe it. Even if they did, their distance from Canaan is also a factor to consider.

In short, there are too many factors that limit Canaan's development. Otherwise, we wouldn't have only recruited over 20,000 people in just one month."

Alina, who had always been by Tallulah's side, finally took this opportunity to speak up and pointed out directly the problems with Tallulah's propaganda policy.

"Compared to the newly emerging City of the Infected, the name Integration Movement is a reputation built through mobilization and liberating the infected.
