People are on the Ark, assisting Oma Zi-O

But now, have some bones recovered?

But Rhode Island Heavy Industries?

Spafari Metaphor felt as if he had heard this name somewhere before, oh, Rhode Island Pharmaceutical Company!

On this vast land, there was a pharmaceutical company that had only been established for a little over a year and had a large land ship as its headquarters. It was also a company that focused on the rights of infected people and related matters. In just a year, it had already left some reputation on this land. Spafari, who always paid attention to the latest situation of the infected, naturally knew about Rhodes Island.

Of course, the most important thing is that Islam Witt, who returned to Saint Jun Castle after the Chernobog incident, once mentioned the name of Rhodes Island Pharmaceuticals to him, saying that this organization called Rhodes Island Pharmaceuticals also played a role in the Chernobog incident.

At that time, Spafari kept this name in mind.

But he didn't expect that at this point, he would hear this name again in this place.

After taking a look at the bus in front of him and looking at the front of the bus, he saw an infected person skillfully operating the bus's driving system, and turned his head to look at himself who had not yet gotten on the bus.

"Get in the car, Judge Spafari."

"Haha, you should just call me Mr. Spafari."

"Well, get in the car, Mr. Spafari."

Alina also got in the car with Tallulah. As the mayor's secretary, she naturally needed to act with Tallulah. As for the Ghost Guards, she didn't have to worry about them at all. As long as she was within the range of Canaan City, she could completely control these soldiers with her own thoughts.

Spafari also paid a little attention to the secretary, and before arriving at the agricultural land, he chatted with Tallulah about the current situation of Canaan City.

Including the current population of Canaan City, the housing conditions of the infected people, and public safety issues.

Canaan now has a large population, which is not something that Spafari needs to know deliberately. After all, after His Majesty the Emperor announced to the entire Ursus that the first special city for the infected in Ursus was open, a large number of infected people rushed to this city frantically. Most of them were infected people who were tired of hiding in the wilderness or mobile cities.

When these infected people flocked to Canaan, there were many infected patrol teams hiding on the road to Canaan to intercept these infected people, and then caught them and threw them into the mines in exchange for some reward money.

Therefore, when it comes to the indicator of population growth rate, Canaan cannot be used as a reference or as an audit standard.

As for the remaining questions about education level and medical resources, Spartari was somewhat surprised by Tallulah's answers, because from her mouth Spartari learned that there were still schools operating in Canaan today.

Although he had said before that as long as the Integration Movement was not stupid, it could quickly integrate the urban resources of the core city of Chernobog, and then truly use this city as the core foundation for the Integration Movement to survive.

However, he had never expected that this group of infected people could restore the education of a city within a month, because in his imagination, the top priority of these infected people should be future development issues, such as continuing to protect their city and developing military forces, and strengthening medical care in order to have a good body to continue fighting. But education... This option, which has no benefits in the short term, he did not expect was also within the consideration of the integration movement.

"After all, children are the future."

Tallulah said with a smile.

"Regarding the current situation of the infected, Judge Spafari, I don't have any unrealistic fantasies."

Tallulah looked at Spafari.

"Unless something unexpected happens, our generation will not see the day when people infected are truly treated equally."

Indeed, if there had been no Oma Zi-O in history, the Reunion Movement would not even have been able to take over the core city of Chernobog and develop peacefully, and would have been destroyed by the disgusting schemes of those conspirators.

"So it's not just our generation that's continuing the struggle; the Reunion Movement also values ​​the education of the next generation. Infected children can't give up their education and stop learning just because they're infected with oripathy.

Especially with regard to oripathy, I need to know what kind of terrible disease I have. They must know that they shouldn't be discriminated against or persecuted because of it, but they should also be aware of the dangers of having the disease. This will become the cornerstone for them to take up the banner from us in the future and continue to dedicate themselves to building a "world" where those infected and healthy people can truly coexist harmoniously.

Spafari looked at the girl in front of him, and the admiration in his eyes became more intense.

Although so much time has passed, the burning ideals of this girl have never changed. Even in the face of cruel reality, the fire of her ideals is still burning and has not been extinguished by the cold water of reality.

"I understand."

It was just four simple words, but both Tallulah and Alina heard a hint of recognition in Spafari's tone, which made them look at each other and smile knowingly.

Afterwards, Spafari asked many questions during the process, such as Canaan's current water supply and power supply system, the construction of leisure and entertainment facilities, and the construction of communication facilities. Tallulah continued to answer fluently, and she was able to answer every question of Canaan in detail, which made Spafari's admiration even greater.

However, inside the bus, when a few people were asking and answering questions and chatting about some small things to bring the example closer, a golden shadow flashed on the roof of the bus.

Chapter 302: Demonic Dragon

"This is our agricultural land, but it's winter now, so there are no crops to be seen in the fields. However, the winter wheat has already been planted. It will sprout and grow next spring, and we will be able to harvest a large amount of food in the summer."

The farmland before him was already covered in silver, but unlike the lifeless tundra wilderness covered in ice and snow in Ursus, beneath this silver lay Canaan's hope for the next year.

"Judge Spafari, Canaan's current arable land area is inherited from Chernobyl's Agricultural Plot 12, which contains 244 square kilometers of high-quality black soil. Corn is the primary crop, mixed with some wheat and various vegetables. However, despite the warm climate of the Sochi Plain, due to the former mayor's industrial policies, this year's harvest from Plot 12 is only over 10,000 tons of corn, over 3,000 tons of wheat, and no more than 2,000 tons of vegetable products. While this figure far exceeds the needs of Canaan's infected population today, after collaborating with Rhodes Island and following professional research into Chernobyl's agricultural potential, it is believed to be far greater than this."

Chernobog was once a city that vigorously developed the Originium industry. Despite being located at the southernmost tip of the empire and in the warmest region, it had no intention of developing agriculture, wasting vast tracts of high-quality arable land. According to a report by Rhodes Island researchers, Chernobog's agricultural productivity was wasted by at least 83.3% compared to normal development, essentially becoming a wasteland.

Alina looked at the farmland covered with snow. Although this year's harvest was enough for the infected people in Canaan to be self-sufficient, when Ark came to this land, they angrily condemned the Ursus people for squandering resources!

The utilization rate of this arable land is less than 20%, which is zero if rounded up! That's just wasteland! This is black soil, and it's just lying there like that? That guy Boris should be cut into pieces!

Spafari was not clear about the situation of Chernobog in the past. Anyone in Ursus who had a little knowledge of agriculture knew that Chernobog's geographical conditions made it the most suitable place for developing agriculture. After all, the climate here was warm. Compared with the cold heartland of Ursus all year round, the Sochi Plain where Chernobog was located could be said to be the land of abundance in Ursus. If all efforts were put into developing agriculture here, perhaps the famine in most parts of Ursus today could be alleviated.

Haha, who would have thought that Ursus, the most powerful and territorially extensive military empire on this earth, would suffer from famine.

Whenever he thought of this, Spafari would feel a terrible sense of black humor.

But there was no other way, because nearly 70% of Ursus's land was located in cold zones, which were not suitable for agricultural development. The Sochi Plain, one of the few temperate zones where agriculture could be developed to feed the people of the country, was abandoned due to the nobles' struggle for power and profit, and the focus was shifted to the development of the source stone industry.

Alas, Ursus, alas, Empire, alas, power.

Spafari was somewhat sentimental, but he soon cheered up and became more interested in the Rhodes Island that Alina mentioned.

A pharmaceutical company that not only got involved in the automotive industry and provided Canaan with public transportation vehicles that were even better than Saint Jun Castle, but also had agricultural experts come to provide agricultural guidance to Canaan?

Moreover, they are actively engaged in the treatment of mineral disease for infected people. Isn't this company a little too broad in its scope?

And through his intelligence network, Spafari certainly knew that Rhodes Island also had its own independent armed forces, and had dealt with quite a few violent conflicts among infected people in the past year. It was considered a medical and pharmaceutical company with a strong martial spirit.

Spafari grew increasingly curious about this pharmaceutical company. If he had some time left after his visit to Canaan City, he'd like to visit it. It's said that the company is currently located in Longmen, isn't it? Although he couldn't go directly to Longmen, given the deep partnership between Canaan and Rhodes Island, they should have personnel stationed in Canaan. Perhaps he could make some arrangements to meet with their leaders.

"From what Secretary Alina said, will Canaan's future development plan prioritize agricultural production?"

Spafari looked at the secretary Efiara with interest.

Before coming to Canaan, he naturally did a lot of research. He had heard about the importance of Ephiala in Tallulah's heart, and had a certain understanding of the position he held in the current Canaan government.

He also knew that the secretary in front of him, named Alina, could influence Tallulah's decision to a certain extent.

"In fact, even if the current agricultural plot No. 12 is only cultivated in its current form, it is already fully sufficient to meet the needs of the infected residents of Canaan. Canaan currently has no plans for further expansion, and the construction of the plot is still in its early stages, so it can be said that there is a lot of work to be done."

Emmm, that’s really straightforward.

Spafari stroked his beard and felt a little moved by the fact that Elafia in front of him did not hide her demands at all. However, it was better that the other party told him clearly what she wanted, rather than asking them to make plans, guess one by one, and get it one by one.

"That does make sense, but for the Empire, Cherno... ahem, I mean, if Canaan can be used as a base for agricultural development, I'm sure the prospects will be even brighter. After all, the geographical location here is rare in the entire Ursus Empire."

"Mr. Spafari's advice is very pertinent. As an old Dayan proverb goes, 'Every inch has its own strengths and weaknesses.' Everyone and everything has their own strengths and weaknesses. Playing to one's strengths and avoiding weaknesses is the wisdom of taking advantage of the situation and achieving twice the result with half the effort."

Tallulah looked at Spafari with a smile, but suddenly narrowed her eyes and looked at a place behind the latter, and her hand quietly reached for her waist.

"But Canaan will always prioritize the interests of those infected."

Spafari noticed Tallulah's little movement, his eyes slightly blurred, and when he saw Alina beside Tallulah suddenly winked at him, his expression suddenly turned cold.

"It seems we still need to discuss this issue, and it will probably be put on the parliamentary table."

Spafari pretended to be relaxed and made a joke, then gently made way for him. At the same time, a sharp sound of breaking air came from behind him, just passing through the space that Spafari had just made way for. In the next second, Tallulah drew her sword and stalemated with the fiercely attacking big tail, making a sound of metal clashing!

"Mantiko!"

Spafari originally thought that it was just an assassination attempt by infected people in Canaan City who were dissatisfied with Ursus, or that the military nobles in the empire were going to make some small moves, but when he saw the identity of the attacker, he suddenly felt dizzy.

That's... the Manticore?! They're a race unique to the thousand-year-old nation of Sargon, located in the hot southern reaches of Terra, a world away from Ursus.

Why did they appear here and attack themselves and others?

Suddenly, a terrifying guess appeared in Spafari's mind.

Is Sargon preparing to march north? Is this ancient empire, silent for centuries, finally baring its fangs once again? How dare he? With Sargon now, what can you do to fight Ursus? How many fleets of high-speed warships do you have?

But no matter what, he had to keep the possibility of foreign interference within the scope of his concern, but for now he had to save his own life first.

Spafari was very self-aware. He knew that he was not cut out for fighting, so after Tallulah and the blonde Mantiko reached a stalemate, he immediately stepped back away from the two and came to Alina to avoid being affected.

However, the next second, his expression froze, because he saw a tall figure standing next to Alina.

"Hush-huh-"

"[Rough Ursus slang], inner guard?"

And at the same time, on the other side.

"You came really quickly, but why are you at Tallulah's?"

When Tallulah was attacked, the Night Bats who occupied the commanding heights on the Ark side immediately sent news that Tallulah, Spafari and others were attacked by Mantiko on the agricultural land.

"What?! You said the leader was attacked? Shouldn't their target be us?"

As soon as Fang Zhou finished speaking, Noah next to him immediately became anxious. He took two steps forward and grabbed Fang Zhou's collar and looked at him ferociously. However, the next moment he realized his loss of composure, and with embarrassment he smoothed the wrinkles on Fang Zhou's collar, and then his eyes turned fierce.

"How could this happen? How could this happen..."

At this point, Noah couldn't understand why the Mantiko assassination team, which was originally intended to assassinate Amiya, would appear on Tallulah's side and assassinate her.

"Something happened to Sister Tallulah?"

Amiya looked at the Ark, Noah, and Askalon who suddenly appeared.

They had originally planned to follow Tallulah when she took Spafari on the bus to the agricultural land, but considering that the assassination team would take action against Amiya today, in order to avoid the future assassination from affecting Spafari's review of Canaan today, they did not continue to follow and are now on their way to the city hall.

Because according to the procedure, Spafari will conduct a two-day inspection. He will go through it roughly on the first day, and then give a speech at the City Hall. After that, everyone will hold a banquet to welcome this official who has come all the way from Saint Jun Castle, and then start a detailed assessment and review.

Now they had to go to the City Hall and sit down and wait. Judging from the time, if they just took a quick look, Tallulah and the others would arrive at the City Hall in about three hours. Before that, they just had to wait.

"A golden Mantiko has appeared from Tallulah's side. According to the information relayed by the Night Bats, Tallulah is currently in a stalemate with that Mantiko. He's quite skilled."

When Ascalon said this, he suddenly felt a vibration from the communication terminal on his waist. The communication terminal made Ascalon's eyes suddenly fixed, and then he turned on the terminal.

"This is the lion scorpion. I found traces of my own kind."

Opposite him was the Mantiko girl code-named Lion Scorpion whom Ark had previously assigned to his team. He said that the Lion Scorpion, who was also from the Mantiko clan, might play an unexpected role in this operation. Now it was obvious that Ark's words had been proved.

On the rooftop of a building near the city hall, the lion scorpion used its extraordinary Originium skills and poisonous tail to knock down its fellow tribesman who was hiding there.

This is very counterintuitive. Just like snakes can actually be killed by their own venom, the poisonous tails of the Mantiko can also kill Mantiko. Even when taking care of their tails in daily life, Mantikos must be careful not to let their tails prick themselves, otherwise they will need emergency rescue.

Through some clues she noticed, the lion scorpion could see that the fellow in front of her had obviously undergone professional assassination training and was a member of the Mantiko killers. So she immediately reported her discovery to her current superior Ascalon as required before the action.

"It's indeed as the Doctor said. You've shown unexpected effectiveness. It's a pity... it doesn't seem to be the right time."

"Use Manticore to deal with Manticore," that was what Fang Ark had said to Ascalon. Ascalon trusted his judgment, and indeed, Scorpion Lion lived up to his trust. From the report she gave him, it seemed that she had already dealt with a hidden Manticore assassin, but...

Like Askalon said, it's not the right time.

When Manticore on the rooftop was attacked by the lion scorpion and fell, many shadows suddenly appeared around Ascalon and the others.

"1...2...3...4... Including the one captured by the lion, fifteen Manticores. Aren't they a bit too many for an assassination team?"

Fang Zhou leaned slightly towards Noah next to him, and the latter's face looked very ugly at this time, because he noticed that the captain of the Mantiko assassination team opposite who had informed him of the action some time ago was also looking at him with eyes of a dead man.

"Was it the Minister's decision?"

Noah looked at Captain Mantiko with cold eyes.

The Mantiko opposite said nothing, but just looked at Noah coldly as he drew the dagger from his waist.

“…It was a surprising yet unsurprising development.”

Noah didn't know what to say. He wanted to say that he had expected this situation to happen, but when it actually happened, it was still a little hard to accept.

"Look at your worthless look."

Snapped!

A big slap landed directly on the back of Noah's head. The latter covered his head in annoyance and looked at Fang Zhou who had taken action. Just as he was about to argue with him, he saw the other party's cold eyes and couldn't help but feel sad and took two steps back.

"If you hadn't shown up the first time, there might still be a slight chance of success. Do you understand?"

Ark passed Noah, Amiya, and Kal'tsit step by step, and came in front of the leader Mantiko as his eyes gradually changed from surprise to astonishment, and then to horror.

The scarlet eyes stared at the image of the demon dragon reflected in the other's emerald green eyes.

"Unfortunately, even that little bit is gone now."

Chapter 303: The entire army was annihilated

Each of the dark green scales had a light flame-like pattern on it. The slender and tight tail directly bound the captain of the Mantiko assassination team tightly, and the scarlet eyes stared at the emerald eyes of the captain of the Mantiko assassination team.

"I don't like your eyes."

The captain of the Mantiko assassination team instantly felt the threat of death approaching him. He twisted his body desperately to try to break free from Ark's restraints. The tail with deadly poison pierced the air and stabbed towards Ark's eyes, but was easily grasped by the latter with two fingers.

There was a sound of metal clashing between the stinger and the fingers, and the sound was like the cup being broken in the signal of breaking cups. All the Mantiko assassins around started to act at the same time in tacit understanding.

Instead of rescuing their captain, they continued to rush towards Noah and Amiya.

As assassins, all they need to do is complete their mission. During this period, no matter who it is, whether it is their captain or their boss, or even their relatives, no one can stop them from stabbing their assassination targets with the weapons in their hands.
