People are on the Ark, assisting Oma Zi-O

Although Xiao Ke's intuition told him that something was wrong, since the Doctor said so, he just let it be.

Xiao Ke shook his ears and yawned. A few tears overflowed from the corners of his eyes and his stomach made a faint snoring sound.

"Ah, Xiao Ke is hungry."

Are you hungry? It's still early, isn't it?

I looked at the time. It was just after two in the afternoon, but maybe the battle just now had consumed too much of the child's physical strength... probably.

"You're hungry, so how about the Doctor treating you to something delicious?"

"Great!!"

With the delicious food right in front of them, the children no longer cared about the strange things that had just happened and immediately raised their hands and cheered.

"Um, what just happened here? We saw a huge monster appear in the distance and immediately rushed over. Did you see him?"

It was also at this time that the resident operators on the Rhodes Island deck finally arrived.

Chapter 244: Bear in Rhode Island and the Mass-produced Knights

What is Rhode Island like?

Sonya's first contact with Rhodes Island was probably during the Chernobog incident, but that was not a formal contact. Just like her meeting with Tallulah, she only saw the Rhodes Island team from afar.

Then, I got a preliminary understanding of this pharmaceutical company on the Internet, and it was very attractive.

For Sonya, who had been close to the Azazel Clinic in Chernobog, the philosophy of Rhodes Island was indeed attractive enough to give her another reason to go to Rhodes Island besides looking for the Ark.

Go join it.

General Dong, who had no plans for the future, went to Rhodes Island with Rosaline and her family, who were also going to Rhodes Island at the time. The only difference between them was that Rosaline was going to accompany her mother to Rhodes Island for treatment.

Treats mineral sickness.

After arriving in Rhodes Island, Sonya's impression of Rhodes Island was once again shocked.

Although she didn't have much experience, she had learned about some large companies from books, or at least relied on her imagination to make up for a lot of it. But Rhodes Island was completely different. Rhodes Island was really... too cool!

Cool.

This was the fifteen-year-old girl's first impression of Rhodes Island.

When Sonya Humajia came to Rhodes Island, more than 90% of the positions in Rhodes Island except for the combat operators had been replaced by Humajia. Apart from the combat operators, the only one that had not been replaced was probably the human resources department.

After all, Xumajia cannot have the ability to read people's minds like the Whiplash, and the HR director of the Whiplash is the most suitable for this position, or in other words, the most suitable for the position of Rhodes Island's HR director.

And for a rebellious girl who has just entered puberty, a company full of robots and full of high-tech style at first glance is so attractive!

Moreover, although Miss Zilan, the HR department who took them to visit Rhodes Island, looked like she was afraid of trouble, she was very good at introducing things. With Ark's permission, she also took them to see several Xumagia production workshops and drug production lines in Rhodes Island, and of course, the medical department and ward areas.

Especially in the ward area, after seeing those mineral patients smile happily in Rhodes Island, Sonya became more determined to stay here.

After witnessing Rhodes Island's technological strength and powerful medical technology, and most importantly, the employee benefits, Sonya's parents felt that there was no harm in their daughter staying here. The only thing they had to worry about was that she might be infected with the oripath by accidentally staying with the oripaths.

but……

Their daughter, who had never had any plans for the future, suddenly had something she wanted to stick to. This made her two parents very happy. In addition, the current political environment in Ursus was indeed not good, so letting their daughter leave Ursus to develop outside was in line with the wishes of their two parents.

So after an inspection, the two parents signed an internship agreement with Rhodes Island as guardians. Although it was called an internship agreement, it was actually a foregone conclusion that Sonya would stay in Rhodes Island. After all, she had the knight system given to her by Ark. A girl who mastered such a thing... at least Kal'tsit would never let her go.

The Knight System was unique to Rhodes Island until now... At least the Reunion Movement didn't master the method of manufacturing the Knight System, and Rhodes Island... In that secret structure, Ark had already begun manufacturing two mass-produced drivers called the Slashing Abaddo Sublimator and the Shooting Abaddo Sublimator, as well as a prop called the Cluster Locust Sublimation Key.

In the scene that Ark promised her, Rhodes Island's elite team would soon be the first to complete the mass production of knights. Judging from the manufacturing speed, it would be during this period, or even today.

Of course, Sonya didn't know all this.

In short, she stayed in Rhodes Island, but...

“This life is completely different from what I imagined.”

After leaving the Ark and using the underground classroom created by the Exploding Basement (a Doraemon series prop from the TV series "Exploding Basement and Breeding Mirror"), Sonya just felt that it was a bit of a waste to use such a convenient thing as a classroom.

I originally thought that after arriving in Rhodes Island, I could immediately start working with the infected, but I didn't expect that I would still have to attend classes after arriving here.

And what I learn feels more difficult than before.

"Sonia...ah, it's better to call you Winter now, right? What did you think you would do before you came to Rhodes Island?"

As Rosalin came here with Sonya and was also a bear, she was naturally closer to Sonya. The two usually came to this classroom together for class and then left together.

Because the interior of Rhodes Island is completely different from the environment of Chernobog, there are no thugs or other guys who bully others here, so the two bears haven't fought Mortal Kombat for a long time.

Although this peaceful life is not bad, it is completely different from what I had imagined before.

"Before coming here, I thought I'd be fighting with those who oppress the infected every day, or maybe I was just here for this. But... now I'm here, and I still have to prepare lessons, study books, and do homework every day..."

"Well, after all, the Doctor said that children of our age should study. Look, there are many children of our age in the classroom, all studying here. The children in the classroom next door are even younger than us."

What her parents said was that children of this age should study.

However, Rhodes Island is not as simple as it seems.

After you've been in Rhodes Island for seven days, you feel like your understanding of the island is still superficial. Even though you know that this company possesses technological power and secrets beyond your comprehension, when you saw the originally fine Pero girl on the deck swell up into a monster before your eyes yesterday, you still felt... should you say it's shock and lingering fear?

Sonia suddenly felt like she was reading a novel, as if the truth of the world was slowly unfolding before the protagonist. All she had to do was dispel the fog of truth and secrets and present it before her eyes.

It sounds weird to say this, as if he were the protagonist of a novel.

But what had happened yesterday? Fang Ark hadn't told her until the very end, and she hadn't been so bold as to tell Rosaline about it this morning. After all, it was obvious just by looking at it that it was a big deal. Fang Ark had also told the deck operators who arrived later to keep it a secret. Although he hadn't told her, Sonya felt it was best to feign ignorance for now.

"Then why don't you come with me to the training ground? Let's have a fight, but first, you can't transform. If you transform, I won't even be able to break the iron layer on your body. That's too unfair."

"Okay."

It just so happens that I've been feeling a little suffocated recently, so it seems like it would be nice to indulge myself a little with Rosaline, or as I should call her by her code name, Liexia.

"I think it's about time you got fed up with it."

The sudden sound made Sonya and Rosalyn turn around. It was Fang Zhou.

"Is there a problem?"

Sonya's expression, which said "you know what I mean," made Fang Zhou laugh out loud.

"Aren't you tired of attending classes? It just so happens that as a trainee operator, I'll assign you a mission."

"A mission? It's not an exam, is it?"

Considering Fang Ark's bad taste, Sonya felt that this possibility was not impossible.

After coming to Rhodes Island, I thought I could have a passionate duel with the bad guys, but what happened was a passionate duel with exercises and workbooks.

However, when she thought about the scene where she ran into the Pelo girl who turned into a monster yesterday, Sonya wondered if Fang Zhou saw that she knew some secrets, so he planned to pull her into a small group and assign her some secret tasks.

Although Sonya herself has a relatively calm personality, she is still a 15-year-old girl after all. She still has certain fantasies about some of the plots that often happen in novels. After all, if fantasy hero characters like Kamen Rider can appear, then what else can't appear?

If I join this small group, wouldn't I feel a little sorry for Rosaline?

Although it hasn't been finalized yet, Sonya has already thought about how to apologize if Rosalyn finds out. Otherwise, she might as well apologize with her fists.

"Stop thinking about it and come with me. And Rosalyn, ah, it's Operator Liexia, you come with me too."

Hmm? Liexia is coming along too?

Sonia suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart, and the feeling was not what she expected.

The two bears followed Fang Zhou to the No. 3 training ground. This training ground in Rhodes Island can be considered to have been damaged for a long time, right?

Ever since Ark returned to Rhodes Island, he has always taken great care of this training ground. Whether it was to have Amiya and Bozhukas fight to gain each other's recognition and then obtain the Wendigo Driving Head, or to hold the Abstract Rhodes Island Rotating Chair Race, Ark always set the venue at this No. 3 training ground. Perhaps it was because this guy had a special liking for the number three.

At this time, in this training ground, heavy-armored operators and guards operators headed by Ace and Huang gathered here. They were all the best players selected by Ark from among the heavy-armored operators and guards operators.

"They are..."

"Hey! Doctor! Ace told me before that you were going to equip us with that knight system? Is that true?"

Knight System?!

Both Sonya and Rosalyn looked up at the Ark in front of them with shining eyes.

As someone who possessed the AIMS shooting sublimator, Sonya naturally knew the power of the Knight System. Before being equipped with the Knight System, although she was very good at fighting, if she faced a large number of adult Ursus people, she would inevitably be outmatched.

But after transforming through the knight system, not to mention the numerous Ursus people, she felt that she could even fight against the so-called face-cutting monster in the Ursus legend.

This is the confidence that the knight system brings her.

After arriving in Rhodes Island, she also learned that the knight system seemed to be quite common in Rhodes Island.

At least as far as she knew, Amiya, the current leader of Rhodes Island, was a Kamen Rider with a knight system who was being trained by the Ark. She even heard a lot of news that Amiya would become a benevolent and kind demon king who would surpass the past and the future.

It sounds very impressive.

But even though she knew that the Ark's Knight System was not a rare thing in Rhodes Island, Sonya was still a little surprised when Huang said that the Ark was going to equip them with the Knight System.

Rosalin, who was beside Sonya, widened her eyes. You know, after Sonya showed the Knight System in Chernobog, she has been very interested in this thing.

When she learned that the source of the Knight System was Fang Zhou, she went straight to Fang Zhou and asked how to get the Knight System from him.

To this honest child, Ark simply said that the Knight System was not something that was easy to control. If Rosaline wanted to obtain the Knight System, then she should try her best to improve herself and become better. In this way, maybe Ark would choose Rosaline to be the new Kamen Rider in the future.

This also became a knot in Rosaline's heart, and was one of the reasons why she could attend classes obediently in Rhodes Island.

But now she could actually see Fang Ark personally handing over the other knight systems to the big sister Filin in front of her. It was so exciting.

There were no other negative emotions. Rosaline felt that others must have their own reasons for being able to obtain the Knight System, but Ark had promised her that as long as she became good enough, she could also obtain the Knight System, so there was no need to be jealous of others.

Being jealous of others is something only dark and weak people do, but Rosaline doesn't think she is a weak person.

"Your knight system has been designed, and the current number is just enough to equip your current group."

It was just enough to equip them, which meant that they were indeed the team deliberately selected by Ark to be equipped with the knight system.

The ones who came here included Huang and Ace's team. Huang was brought here alone, and was told that after being equipped with the knight system, she would be incorporated into Ace's E3 action team. It was Ace who brought her when she came to Rhodes Island and guided her as an instructor. Now she can be said to have returned to where she started.

After Fang Ark finished speaking, he took out a military green device from behind him. The device looked very similar to Sonya's AIMS shooting sublimator, but unlike the AIMS shooting sublimator, the head of the device in Fang Ark's hand was a small knife.

"This is the driver used for the melee-specific transformation in the first-generation mass-produced Knight System Abaddo System, the Abaddo Slashing Sublimator. It's equipped with this..."

As he spoke, Fang Zhou took out another military green and yellowish-brown sublimation key with a locust pattern printed on it from his pocket.

"Cluster Locust Ascension Key."

"Huh? Bugs?"

But after seeing the sublimation key, Huang, who had been looking forward to it, showed an obvious expression of disgust.

Chapter 245: Mass-produced Knight Abaddon and the Humiliating Scout

To be fair, for most girls, even if they are not afraid of insects, they definitely cannot like them, no matter if they are fleshy, multi-legged, or have compound eyes that are so large that they are uncomfortable, or even just the sight of them is enough to make people feel disgusted...

However, compared to the latter, it is indeed more uncomfortable to eat fleshy worms like the caterpillars (Cyprinus spp.) that are not good-looking in themselves, or arthropods like spiders that are inherently scary.

If it's something like locusts... forget it, let the locusts die.

All in all, even a woman like Huang Da Mao, who looked obviously muscular and full of power, found it difficult to remain calm towards insects. Even Sonya and Rosalyn next to her, and even Ace showed a rejection of the thing called Cluster Locust Sublimation Key.

This made Fang Zhou a little sad. You know, the original shape of Kamen Rider was a locust, No. 1 in Showa and 01 in Reiwa. Among the knight brothers of the three eras, only Kuga's prototype was a stag beetle.

He also considered that women might have an aversion to insects, so the first batch of candidates he screened were mostly men, and the only woman was a strong woman like Huang who didn't seem to be afraid of insects. As a result...

If this time the armed forces were not targeting Rhodes Island, Saria should have been included in the screening. Saria should not have any prejudice against locusts, at least from a scientific research perspective.

"Alright, alright, Doctor, it's nothing, but we certainly didn't expect the knight to choose a locust as their prototype this time, did we?"

I saw before that Amiya’s prototype seemed to be Clock Tower’s prototype was her race, Draco. I couldn’t see the prototype of Ark, but the sense of oppression was quite strong.

I've heard that Dr. Kal'tsit also has a driver, but Ace hasn't seen her transform yet. The Ursus girl's knight prototype seems to be Ursus as well, so Ace originally thought the prototype for this mass-produced knight was probably some kind of beastkin, or perhaps a Sarkaz. After all, doesn't Amiya have a lot of Sarkaz-controlled heads? Maybe this one was also based on a Sarkaz prototype.

But unexpectedly, the prototype of the knight this time is actually... an insect?

"It's okay, it's just that I'm disliked by others. It's no problem for me."

No, no, no, that looks quite problematic.

Never before had I heard such a strong sense of loss in the Doctor's tone! For a moment, Ace and Huang were a little panicked and at a loss.

"Doctor, ahaha, I'm sorry, I just... come on, let's try it, let's transform. Even though we're locusts, aren't locusts very strong? Well, look at those powerful hind legs, and they can fly. Maybe locusts are actually surprisingly powerful?"

No, this woman has no idea how to make amends!

Ace made an inner judgment that Huang was still as incapable of comforting others as ever.

"I think the Doctor has his own considerations. After all, these are mass-produced knights, and they'll be fighting in squads. So, wouldn't locusts, capable of gathering into a terrifying swarm, perfectly fit the definition? While a single locust isn't a particularly powerful insect, once they gather into a swarm, it's a disaster!"

Locust swarms, that's true...

"That's true, but this thing...Sister Shu will definitely not like it."
