People are on the Ark, assisting Oma Zi-O

"Alright, alright, you're such a boring man. I'll make sure your little sister is safe and sound. If anything happens to her, the first thing you'll do when you get that power will probably be to grind me to dust. As the saying goes, if you're well, it's a sunny day. If you're not...hahahahaha.

But while your attitude towards your sister is one way, your attitude towards your brother is completely different. When I first proposed the test subject for this plan, you suggested that young man who sews. It wasn't until I told you that his will was too strong and he might fail at the first step that you agreed to let me switch to your youngest sister. Tsk, tsk, that's what you call favoring girls over boys... wow.

Dodging the black spot that was now embedded in the wall, Theresa stuck out her tongue and dodged away, leaving only the echo.

"Forget it, I won't tease you anymore. I have to get busy. Just wait for my news. My good second brother who says one thing and means another, hahahaha."

Wang closed his eyes as he watched Theresa disappear before his eyes.

Chapter 284: Heartbeat

Several days had passed since the hotpot dinner with Nian, and the new security measures for Amiya had been implemented. Ascalon and SWEEP had been with Amiya almost all day long. Although this squeezed Amiya's privacy a bit, after knowing that it was Ark's arrangement, Amiya did not object.

Maybe the assassination made the Doctor too nervous. It should be fine after a while.

Amiya didn't think SWEEP's round-the-clock protection would last long. After all, SWEEP had their own missions, and some of Rhodes Island's foreign intelligence operations also needed SWEEP to coordinate. It was impossible for them to throw all other businesses aside just to protect one person. It would probably last about a week before these people would be assigned other tasks.

Thinking this way, Amiya stopped focusing on this and instead devoted herself to studying and the Rhodes Island affairs that were carefully selected by Ark and Kal'tsit to hone her abilities.

However, Amiya also noticed that among those who followed her, in addition to the few people from SWEEP, there seemed to be a Miss Mantiko who also continued to follow her.

Are you new to SWEEP?

Due to her work schedule during this period, Amiya has rarely been involved in Rhodes Island's personnel work, so she is not very clear about whether there are any new members joining SWEEP. However, since she is following Sister Ascalon and the others, there should be no problem.

The "SWEEP newcomer" that Amiya noticed was none other than Scorpion. When she realized that Amiya noticed her, Miss Scorpion was quite surprised. Before coming to Rhodes Island, she had been ignored for a long time because of her alienated Originium skills. At Sargon, almost no one could notice Scorpion who was releasing Originium skills.

If it weren't for Miss Scorpion's kind nature, many of Sargon's mobile cities would probably be in chaos at this moment.

However, this point was repeatedly broken after Scorpion arrived in Rhodes Island. First, Ark recognized her Originium skills the moment she saw him, and then Amiya also noticed his existence the moment he appeared beside her.

When thinking of this, the question he asked Fang Zhou when he was discovered emerged in Leo Scorpion's mind again, and he also thought of Fang Zhou's provocative answer.

"Well---"

"Ok?"

Amiya looked in the direction of the lion scorpion with a little surprise.

Miss Scorpio Leo's emotions are so mixed, she feels at a loss, shy, embarrassed and a little bit awkward. What happened?

Compared to Ark's direct perception through the Great Demon and the bioelectric perception ability from ARK, Amiya's method of sensing the existence of the Lion Scorpion seems a bit crude and simple.

That is, through the "continuation of civilization", I sensed that a group of unknown emotions suddenly appeared beside me. Emotions cannot appear out of thin air, so naturally they have their own subject, so there must be people there.

After noticing this and reasoning accordingly, Amiya was able to easily find the lion scorpion that was ignored by the people around her.

However, Miss Scorpio Leo's chaotic emotions at this time made Amiya look at her curiously, and seemed to notice that the former was looking at her. Miss Scorpio Leo immediately sorted out her thoughts, and then stood quietly in the corner, reducing her presence to a minimum.

"Doctor!"

Just as Miss Scorpion was trying to lower her presence again, Amiya also noticed Tallulah and Ark walking towards her.

"And Sister Talulah, since Canaan isn't busy today, did you come over here to visit?"

"Hmm...ah, yes, it's not so much that I'm not busy, but rather that I've basically finished what I needed to be busy with, and now I'm just waiting for the results."

"Ah, so the inspection team from Saint's Castle that you and the Doctor kept talking about before we came here will be arriving in a few days."

After hearing what Tallulah said, Amiya looked at the time and noticed that the time for the inspection by Ursus officials from Saint Castle, which Canaan had been preparing for, was getting closer and closer. If there were no accidents there, the team there would arrive in Canaan in about two or three days.

"Well, according to the messenger from the front, it will probably be in two days, Tuesday, January 27th."

Tallulah flipped through her cell phone, which was a gift Wen Yue had given her after she returned to Lungmen. However, in Canaan, the only function this phone could perform was making and receiving calls. Even the top leaders of the Integration Movement now had this type of communication equipment. However, in Canaan, where the intercity network service had just been established and there was not much cultural output, the function of the cell phone was still limited to the communication stage.

"January 27th, if you count like that, it doesn't seem that far away from the Great Yan New Year."

"This year's Da Yan New Year seems to be on February 9th, which means there are only fifteen days left."

Fifteen days. Speaking of which, my uncle and aunt called me yesterday to ask if I wanted to go to Longmen to celebrate the New Year together. They said that if she came back, Huijie would also be there, and they also wanted to spend a reunion year together as a family.

Reunion year.

When Tallulah thought of this, she felt a little sad.

In fact, for both her and Chen Huijie, the word "reunion year" is like a hellish joke. Moreover, for the members of the Integration Movement and the infected citizens of Canaan today, reunion is an unattainable word.

But in the end she agreed to Wen Yue's request. No matter what, Wei Yanwu, Wen Yue and Chen Huijie were her last blood relatives on this land. As long as the other party's request was not too excessive or violated the principles, Tallulah would not refuse. What's more, her uncle helped her so much during the early days of Canaan's establishment, so she had no reason to refuse.

"There will also be events on Rhodes Island during the New Year. After all, it's an annual national holiday, so since it's happening, we naturally have to celebrate it properly."

Amiya said this, and the task at hand at that moment happened to be about what kind of activities should be held on Rhodes Island during the Great Yan New Year?

Many people had already submitted their opinions on Rhodes Island's New Year activities. Amiya took a look at what was written on them, then casually pulled out a piece of paper, folded it in half, and put it in the Doctor's hand.

"Eh? This is..."

"This is Brother Logos's proposal for Rhodes Island's New Year's activities. Although it was delivered anonymously, I can tell it's Brother Logos' handwriting. He wrote anonymously on the paper, but he didn't intend to remain anonymous at all."

Logos sent over a form regarding Rhodes Island's New Year activities. Seeing Amiana pull it out and put it in her hand without hesitation, Fang Ark seemed to have figured out what was written on the paper.

Thinking this in his mind, he opened it and took a look, then slapped his left hand over his eyes.

as predicted……

Seeing Fang Zhou's reaction, Tarola, who was standing next to him, curiously leaned over to take a look at the words on the paper, and then...

"???"

Tallulah discovered that although the characters written on it were the Yanwen she was familiar with, and she had been writing and reading those artistic characters stroke by stroke for two or three years and more than ten years, it was absolutely impossible for her to not recognize the common characters, but this was exactly where the problem arose.

She knew all those words, but when they were put together to form a sentence, Tallulah had no idea what they meant.

"Rhode Island's Second Official Office Swivel Chair Racing Competition?"

"Um???"

I know every word, so why don’t I know what it means when they are put together?

She knew Rhodes Island; it was the landship beneath her feet. She also knew the second edition, likely referring to the event's second attempt. She also understood the term "official," meaning this was the official event, suggesting there may have been many informal ones before. She knew the term "swivel chair" as a place or an adjective. She also knew about speed races, which, as the name suggests, were competitions to see who could reach the finish line first.

But these words together: Rhode Island's Second Official Office Swivel Chair Race...

"I knew this guy was still obsessed with that trophy."

The last time was the experimental first Rhode Island Office Swivel Chair Racing Competition. In the first round of the competition, Ark won the first place and won the red gold trophy specially made by Logos to commemorate its undefeated record in the Rhode Island Swivel Chair Racing Competition.

Ark could still vividly remember the sorrowful expression on Logos' face at that time. He knew that one day Logos would find various excuses to win the trophy away from Ark again. And the New Year event in Rhodes Island was a good opportunity to hold the office swivel chair racing competition again. As long as the application for this competition was approved, he could persuade Ark to participate, and then if he beat him, he could get his trophy back.

Fang Zhou simulated Logos's expression in his mind and confirmed his own thoughts.

But Fang Zhou didn’t understand why Logos was so confident that he could beat him in the second game?

Has he always been this brave?

But now it seems that Logos' dream may fail before it even starts. Judging from the way Amiya has pulled out this piece of paper, it means that there is basically no hope.

"Although I know that Brother Logos really enjoys this competition, Doctor, this New Year's event is, after all, a large-scale event that all operators on the ship are eagerly anticipating. We have reservations about events like this, which have a relatively simple schedule and take a long time. Please inform Brother Logos of this news."

Have reservations.

That's quite a euphemism. Generally speaking, saying this means a clear rejection. It seems Logos must be mentally prepared to make a new trophy for himself.

Or you can use this trophy to hit some of his other things.

How should I tell him?

Well, ahem, my lady-man, you wouldn't want anything to happen to your trophy in my hands, would you?

Hahahaha.

Thinking of that scene, Fang Zhou couldn't help laughing out loud. Hearing this laughter, Amiya and Tallulah couldn't help but cast doubtful looks at him, forcing Fang Zhou to cough twice and pretend to be serious to change the subject.

"That's it then, Amiya. Anything else?"

"Hmm... No, there's nothing else I need the Doctor to do. I'll go collect the opinions of the other operators and submit them to Dr. Kal'tsit before reviewing them for you."

Ark nodded and watched Amiya and another operator head to the control center.

"Seeing Amiya busy with work while the two of us were going to the movies, I suddenly felt a surge of guilt."

Looking at Amiya's back, Tallulah scratched her cheek and her face turned slightly red.

"Then I can't pretend I didn't see you push the military reorganization documents Froststar just sent over to Noah before you came here. You're only now expressing your guilt. It makes Noah seem a little too pitiful."

"Whose appointment do you think I came here to fulfill?"

Tallulah snorted softly and turned her head to the other side, but she couldn't help but look back at Fang Zhou.

"Speaking of which, I feel like your attitude towards Noah has changed a lot these past few days. Before, you two were almost indifferent to each other, and Noah even seemed a little disgusted with you, but these past two days..."

Tallulah's face looked a little strange. Thinking about how Noah and Fang Zhou seemed to have gotten closer during this period, she actually felt a little jealous inside.

It was clearly me who came here first, whether it was encountering the Ark or being praised by Noah, it was clearly me who came here first, but why did it turn out like this?

Tallulah was still thinking about all sorts of random things, and Fang Zhou was feeling a bit awkward.

How should I put it? Ever since he knew Noah was his son, perhaps because his future self was trapped in the subspace and had been absent from his son's life, and because he felt some guilt or something else, Fang Ark had been unusually gentle with Noah during this period, which made Noah a little scared.

Is this BYD Lao Deng planning something bad?

This was Noah's true thought recently. After this situation lasted for several days, and in the context of the current cooperative relationship between the two parties, Noah finally let go of his doubts and...

How should I put it? Seeing Fang Zhou sometimes caring about him, Noah felt a little strange in his heart.

"That's how it is. If we talk it out, you'll find we don't have any fundamental conflicts. It's just that I support Amiya, and Noah supports you. But you and Amiya don't have any conflicts, and you even have a good relationship and plan to cooperate. So naturally, we, the subordinates, won't fight. Since we can't fight, why not just get along well?"

Fang Ark said this to smooth things over for himself, and while they were talking, the two of them had already arrived at the leisure area on the second floor of Rhodes Island. There were many entertainment facilities here for the operators to relax and relax and relieve themselves from stress.

Among them are the game areas that are most popular among underage operators and the "One More Drink" bar that is most popular among adult operators.

And here, of course, there are also the destinations of Ark and Talola - cinemas and private cinemas.

"By the way, you haven't told me the name of the movie you took me to see this time."

Tallulah stood at the door of the cinema room and looked at Fang Zhou with some curiosity.

"The movie is called..."

"Ok?"

"My heart is beating."

Chapter 285: Lao Li: Show You a Big One

While Tallulah and Fang Zhou were enjoying the movie, Chen Huijie was in a quiet and uninhabited place in Longmen.

The surrounding ice still stood, and the towering icicles showed no signs of melting.

Yes, after all, it is winter now, and Longmen is a city located in the north. The winter here is not as severe as in the south where there is no ice or snow.

As his palm brushed across the towering icicle, Chen Huijie seemed to be able to see the miserable scene through the icicle.

Plots 27 to 29 in Longmen, once the most avoided places even in the so-called slums, are now completely deserted.

Longmen did not keep any records of the infected people here, but they still had an approximate idea of ​​the number. At this time, all the infected people became wronged souls under the sea of ​​ice and blood.

The blood-colored ice in the distance was the center of their battle with the Blood Demon Lord. Even today, one can still find the corpses of some innocent people who were transformed into blood descendants by the Blood Demon Lord there.

But as they were infected, no one collected their bodies, and they could only be forgotten by time in this endless ice.

Even though Chen Huijie is the leader of the special investigation team of the Guard Bureau, she cannot order the officers of the Guard Bureau to collect the bodies of the infected people. After all, she knows clearly what kind of harm the bodies of the infected people may cause, and she cannot take the risk of letting the officers of the Guard Bureau become infected by doing these tasks.

But she still came today, but not to collect the bodies of the infected people. After all, she was the only one who wanted to search for and collect the bodies abandoned here, which would be an extremely huge workload.

It was impossible for her to complete this task alone. She came here today because a call came in from the nearby area to the police, saying that horrible howls were often heard in the infected shanty town, which had become a bitterly cold place.

The howling often appeared at night and lasted only for a very short time. He had called the police several times, but they were always regarded as pranks. After all, everyone in Longmen knew that plots 27 to 29 had become a deserted dead zone. Even those gangs who dared to trample on Longmen laws for profit often would not set foot there.

His call this time happened to be received by Chen Huijie. After learning the details of the situation, Chen Huijie, who knew that this place was dangerous, did not let the police officers come here to investigate. Instead, he chose this rest day and took the risk to come here to explore in person.

Driving the Raider, Chen Huijie shuttled back and forth in the ice forest. Icicles, some transparent and some turbid, flashed before her eyes. The only sounds echoing around her were the engine sound of the motorcycle under her and the rustling wind. Not to mention the horrible wailing, Chen Huijie didn't even hear the voices of other people.

However, the call to the police said that the wailing often occurred at night. Although it was heard a few times during the day, the proportion was very small. Now it was morning, but at this time, the chance of hearing the so-called terrifying wailing was indeed a little smaller.

In fact, even Shi Huaiya and Xingxiong said that perhaps those people mistook the sound of wind passing through the icicle forest for the so-called wailing. After all, the sounds of the two are indeed similar. In addition, such a big thing happened some time ago, and it is indeed easy to obey when you are nervous.

But Chen Huijie felt that it was impossible for them to have heard the sound of wind blowing through the ice forest as wailing so many times. This place might have other strange things.

Although Shi Huaiya said that Chen Huijie was making a big deal out of nothing, Chen Huijie, who was still feeling uneasy and couldn't let go of the matter, decided to come here during this holiday to investigate thoroughly. The sound of the wind blowing through the icicles could at least give the other party an explanation.

"It's really unlucky that we arrived on such a windless day."

The weather today was warm, with no wind and no clouds. Even if the wailing was really the sound of the wind blowing through the icicle forest, Chen Huijie had no way of confirming it now.
