People are on the Ark, assisting Oma Zi-O

Alex wordlessly lowered his arms.

He quietly looked at the bustling mobile city in the distance. He actually liked that prosperous scenery very much. He hoped that when the infected people had a home of their own in the future, their homes would also be as prosperous.

However, the pain caused by the Originium crystals on his body and the mineral disease reminded him all the time that this mobile city and even the prosperous scenery of the Ursus Empire were built on the pain and blood of countless infected people. This love was immediately replaced by disgust and hatred.

Ark and Alex have arrived in the wilderness near Chernobog. After the combat meeting in the morning, Alex packed up some things and was taken directly to Chernobog by Ark.

Alex has very complicated feelings about this trip to Chernobyl. On the one hand, he is returning to his hometown to revisit his old place and will see his sister whom he has not seen for a long time. On the other hand, his arrival will bring great disaster to his former hometown.

natural disaster.

"Mr. Ark, is a natural disaster really going to happen here? I'm not very knowledgeable about this, but if there were signs of a natural disaster at this close range, Chernobyl's disaster messenger should have alerted the authorities as quickly as possible. They should have already taken action to avoid the disaster. Why are they still moving forward so smoothly?"

Alex's question made Fang Zhou touch his chin, but he only felt the smooth and cold helmet. He then changed his touch to the sound of nails tapping on metal, which seemed to cover up the desert wind and made Alex's silver-gray, fleshy-looking bear ears on his head tremble.

"You're right. A natural disaster will indeed occur here. The concentration of Originium particles is already quite high and is in an activated state, but it's still a little short of triggering a natural disaster. If the timing is right, the natural disaster will probably not begin until Chernobog leaves this area."

"Isn't that equivalent to nothing?"

“So I’ll speed up the process.”

"what?"

Alex looked at the Ark in horror.

"Sir, I don't understand. Our goal is to seize the core land, but you've been calculating natural disaster data and trying to trigger it since the beginning. This doesn't seem to be our goal."

"Alex, do you remember one of the core requirements we mentioned in the meeting?"

"Capture the core urban area of ​​Chernobyl and an agricultural plot in a peaceful manner with the least possible impact on the civilian population."

Alex still remembers this sentence clearly. After all, in his impression, this was almost impossible.

You rob other people's cities and say you want to do it in a peaceful way. This sounds very confusing.

"Our only goal is the core city and one plot of land. The other mobile plots are nothing but a burden to us, so..."

“The land is decoupled?!”

When Fang Ark said this, Alex understood almost immediately.

As the son of the former city council chairman, Alex was fairly familiar with Ursus's mobile cities. He knew that the primary method for a mobile city to avoid natural disasters was to disconnect the core city from the various plots and deploy them separately. This allowed the plots' Originium reactors to fully activate, allowing them to escape the disaster zone as quickly as possible. Even if the Originium reactors were maxed out, an entire mobile city couldn't travel faster than a single plot at full power. Furthermore, due to the mobile city's enormous size, the turning torque was also extremely high, making it a poor choice for evacuation, especially during an emergency.

After avoiding natural disasters, the city blocks will regroup in the heart of the empire and go to other nearby mobile cities or even Saint Fort to replenish supplies. After sufficient supplies are replenished, they will return to orbit.

Before reintegration, both the core city and other plots can only communicate periodically through weak long-distance communications. The frequency of this communication period will depend on the scale of the natural disaster. If the natural disaster is small and the impact on communication is not significant, regular communication will generally be once a day. If the natural disaster is large and the impact on communication is very serious, irregular communication will generally be conducted every 3 to 6 days. In the event of a large-scale natural disaster, communication between the plots will not be possible at all. Before the decoupling, the only way is to lock in a gathering place with the leaders of each plot. After that, it is up to everyone to rely on luck.

What Ark has to do now is to use Ximu's demonic energy to stir up the sky, so that the natural disaster that was originally scheduled to occur in two or three months will be accelerated to occur within a few days.

Chapter 82: Natural Disasters and Behemoths

The magic power from the Sky Demon stirred the sky, and the originally clear sky became gloomy almost instantly. The magic power of the Earth Demon raised dust, and the thunder of the Thunder Demon connected the sky and the earth.

The magic of the Wind Demon instantly cleared the air around Alex. As the protective mask was put on his face, the Originium dust concentration detection machine next to the Ark instantly sounded the alarm. The normal Originium dust concentration in the air soared from 0.02um? to an extremely dangerous 0.87um?.

The strange phenomenon in the sky continued, and Alex stared at it in amazement.

Natural disasters have begun to brew.

At this time, the alarm of the natural disaster supervision department in Chernobog in the distance was louder than the alarm of the Ark's Originium dust concentration detector!

"What the hell are you doing?! You didn't notice the natural disaster until it was right under your noses!"

Chernobyl's disaster messenger was slashed in the face by an official from the disaster supervision department, leaving a bloody mark. Although he was dissatisfied, he believed that the current situation was indeed a mistake in their work.

"Sir, the most urgent task now is to avoid the natural disaster. If Chernobog continues on its current course, we will only have seven days at most before a head-on collision with the natural disaster. We must immediately carry out an emergency evasive maneuver!"

"Of course I know we need to evacuate urgently! Normally, the evacuation process for natural disasters takes about a month, but now it's seven days, seven days! We still have this area, and the villages and settlements surrounding the mobile city's passage need to be evacuated! You, you, and you! Everyone, gather in the conference room! You, pick up Mayor Boris!"

Officials from the natural disaster supervision department are going crazy.

Only when the natural disaster was right under their noses did they realize that this was no longer just a dereliction of duty, but a prelude to being sent to the Originium Mine to do hard labor for the rest of their lives!

No, there is still a chance. According to the report submitted by the Scourge Messenger, this disaster was a sudden one, and the concentration of Originium Dust also suddenly increased. This phenomenon is not unheard of on the Terra continent, but it is often accompanied by more special phenomena.

Historical records flashed through his mind frantically, and finally the official suddenly fell to the ground as if all his strength had been drained from his body, and two words slowly uttered from his mouth.

"A behemoth."

The government departments have fallen into chaos, but at this moment the people of Chernobyl are still unaware that a large-scale natural disaster is brewing almost directly above the city.

AM5:30.

It was rush hour, and the streets of Chernobyl were so congested with traffic that the military and police had to use weapons to direct traffic. As for why they were armed, just look at the two road rage offenders in the distance, already brawling with steel bars.

The Ursus people, raised in the extremely cold land of the Ursus Empire, are generally more... "enthusiastic".

Alex was wrapped in a thick cotton coat to cover the exposed Originium crystals on his body. He wore a brown earmuff hat on his head. There were two ropes on both sides of the hat connected to two fluffy balls hanging on both sides of his chest. He followed Fang Zhou closely on the city streets.

Ark has also changed his outfit, reminiscent of the one he wore during the Tower of Babel era. It's essentially the Doctor's original skin, with subtle changes to some details, tailored for the operational environment. While meeting Ark's operational needs, it also maximizes the comfort and familiarity of his outfit.

Colloquial: a very smart person.

"My weapon, sir."

Once inside the city, one naturally could not show off weapons in public, so before entering the city, Fang Zhou put Alex's Originium explosives launcher into his own four-dimensional pocket. Just looking at the reluctant look on Xiong Xiong's face, one could tell that he liked his new weapon very much and did not want to hand it over to Fang Zhou.

"It's fine inside the city. There aren't any enemies that need to be dealt with using weapons or staffs. Besides, we're not here to fight. If there really needs to be a fight, I can come."

Fang Ark led Alex through the crowd.

The tightly wrapped outfit made many people suspicious, and coupled with the recent commotion caused by the Integration Movement on the tundra, some people's little thoughts came out again.

But just as they had this thought, a cold wind blew across their bodies.

It wasn't just their bodies. When the wind blew past, they felt as if their souls had frozen into ice.

Hiss! Something strange is happening! The wind is blowing!

"Sir, where are we going now?"

"Go find your father first and get the key to the core city."

"He's not me... well, I get it."

There was a flame of resentment burning in Alex's eyes, but there was also a hint of obscure emotion in it. This time it was not only directed at his father's inaction in response to his arrest, but also at what his father had done back then.

But perhaps many people, many people who lost their parents and children because of this incident can blame Sergey, but Alex cannot.

Fang Zhou said that the reason why Sergei betrayed his companions was entirely to protect himself and his sister Misha. Everyone can say that Sergei is heartless, but Alex is the only one who cannot say that.

Even if Sergei still failed to protect him in the end...that wouldn't work.

Sergey has done everything he can with all his strength.

But how much can a city council president without real power do?

With the brim of his hat slightly lowered, Ark and Alex arrived in front of a mansion.

The two pretended to pass by, but with just a few glances, Fang Zhou had already seen all the sentries and surveillance cameras in the mansion clearly.

There were several policemen patrolling at this time.

"It's definitely here."

"..."

Alex looked at the building in front of him with a complicated expression.

Isn't this the home he remembers? Didn't his father and others move after he was captured?

Fang Zhou patted Alex's head, and when the little bear was protesting with his teeth and claws, he easily took him around the guards and then broke into the mansion quietly.

From the outside, this is a very luxurious small building, located in the wealthy area of ​​​​Chernobog. The land price here is very expensive, and only big people can afford to live there.

But after entering, the two people, one big and one small, found that the interior decoration was extremely simple, which was like two different worlds compared to the luxury outside.

Alex said nothing, he looked at the surrounding situation.

Furniture, fireplace, decoration...

Although it looks different from the outside, the decoration inside this building is exactly the same as the hometown in my memory.

Chapter 83 Father

Alex was still immersed in the familiar layout of the house, but Fang Zhou had already pushed open the door of the study and found the person he wanted to see inside.

He was a haggard middle-aged man. He just sat there, on a chair, staring at the documents on the table with his dull eyes without a trace of spirit, as if he was dead.

When he saw Fang Zhou swaggering into his study without any concealment, he did not show any surprise or anger. He was still the same, slumped in the chair as if he had no bones.

However, Fang Zhou seemed to see a trace of emotion called "relief" in those dim eyes.

"You, come to kill me?"

His voice was hoarse and his tone was questioning, but his expression was very certain, as if he had already determined that Ark was here to take his life.

"Huh... let's get started. This day has finally come."

Fang Zhou stared at him silently. The man in front of him had no desire to fight, and even lost the basic will to survive.

Yes, it was not because he was fearless, or had any other traps or plans. This person, this man, simply gave up resistance and wanted to die.

Endless guilt and regret have overwhelmed him, and he lives in pain all the time.

This pain urged him and drove him.

Go to hell!

Why don't you just die?!

Why are they all dead and you are still alive!

You should have died a long time ago!

These voices have been tormenting his brain, making him look like a fifty-year-old man even though he is only in his thirties or even less than forty.

Fang Zhou looked at him silently, and he looked at Fang Zhou without saying a word.

The atmosphere seemed to freeze, and after a while, Fang Zhou was the first to shake his head.

"No, Mr. Sergei Mikhailovich, you misunderstand. Perhaps you will die. You will die sooner or later, but not today."

Sergei, one of the 48 scientists of the Chernobyl Royal Academy of Sciences, is also the chairman of the Chernobyl City Council.

However, as the speaker, he does not have much real power. All the power of the city council has been transferred to the clerk of the council through various means. As for Sergei, he is just a puppet placed there by Boris.

In order to win over Sergei and obtain the secret of the sarcophagus, Boris generously offered a lot of rewards and prices, but later these rewards and prices were taken back by the latter in various ways.

Just like the president of the business association that Sergei is currently serving as, it was obvious at a glance that the guy who is being pushed out now is just a puppet of the upper class.

But even as the puppet mayor Boris, you still gave one of the two keys to the core city of Chernobyl to Sergei.

"You didn't come here to kill me?"

Sergei looked at the man in front of him in confusion.

"Of course not, Mr. Sergei."

Fang Zhou took two steps forward and the clicking sound of his fingers tapping on the table echoed throughout the study. After a while, Fang Zhou slowly spoke.

"I want the key to the Ursus core city that you hold, and the password that controls it."

"Key?! Password?!"

Sergei's eyes widened immediately, he felt like he might have met a madman.

In his mind, the Ursus Empire, as one of the strongest military forces on the continent, was unmatched. Regardless of who the man in front of him came from, his direct request for the key and password to the core city of a mobile city was tantamount to making an enemy of the Ursus Empire.

Sergei struggled for a moment, then mustered up the courage to look up at Fang Ark, the face hidden in the hood.

But there was a layer of black gauze inside the hood, which completely covered Fang Zhou's face and various details, but Sergei could still feel that there was a pair of sharp eyes behind the black gauze, staring at him through the hood and black gauze.

That is the eye of the Ark.

'This guy means business.'

Suddenly, Sergei was in a difficult situation.

He was indecisive and cowardly by nature, and when faced with such matters involving the country, he became even more hesitant.

"Alex?!!"

Sergei was startled by the sudden scream of a girl outside the room. He almost ran to the living room outside and saw a pretty girl with short white hair covering her mouth and staring at the thin boy in front of her in amazement.
