I am on the Ark, a succubus, pure and innocent.

Bai Yue agreed to her request and assigned her a task: "Then you will be my chief gardener. Your task is to take good care of this land. Chernobog's geographical location is not good, and many plants cannot grow here. I hope you and your soil friends can overcome this difficulty."

"Yes, Your Highness!" Mud Rock accepted the task without hesitation.

"Come for a walk with me."

Bai Yue took the lead, walking down the steps to the ground. Her feet sank into the hard, dry soil, and she arrived at a house ruin that had been cleared out, with even the foundations dug up.

Bai Yue peered into the pit and asked, "Where did all the construction debris go?"

Mudstone looked back at the milky-white road and replied, "Your Highness, I have incorporated these waste materials into the road. Waste materials from other places will probably be treated the same way, which will be perfect for building some high-quality internal roads."

"Oh." Bai Yue nodded, then pointed to the deep pit and asked, "What about these pits?"

Mudstone confidently gestured a few times towards the pit: "No problem, Your Highness. In the blueprint of truth, these pits will eventually become basements."

“The amber and jade also told me that they need to connect the pits in one of the pieces.”

"Oh, that's how it is."

Bai Yue understood. He remembered that Jade and Amber had indeed casually mentioned something like that in their dream, saying they wanted to claim a piece of land as a treasure trove, and gave several options.

Then I chose the underground treasure vault.

There's no particular reason, it's just so cool! It's both sophisticated and classy, ​​instantly giving off an old-money vibe.

...

Soon, the two finished exploring the area that had been cleared.

The Sarkaz workers and the Ursus girl, having finished their rest, came out to work wearing hard hats that were of questionable effectiveness. They carried huge frames in their hands and had all sorts of small tools hanging from their waists.

Several construction vehicles bearing the Rhodes Island logo also entered the Earl's mansion.

Seeing this, Ni Yan looked at Bai Yue with some difficulty.

"Go ahead." Bai Yue nudged her shoulder and laughed, "I'll go see too. I've never seen how you guys work before."

"Eh!"

Niyan was somewhat surprised and quickly waved his hand: "Your Highness, it's a bit dusty working there, so you'd better not go. You can leave it to us."

"Oh, it's okay, let's go, let's go!"

Bai Yue pushed her towards the construction site.

...

The strong Sarkaz workers worked together to move the extremely heavy construction debris into the frame. When it was almost full, Mudrock manipulated two stone statues to lift the frame and load the contents into Rhodes Island's construction vehicles.

The construction vehicle, its red lights flashing, effortlessly pressed down on the loose earth as it drove to the end of the inner road, dumping load after load of construction waste, forming small hills.

The scene was very powerful.

There's a lot of dust.

Bai Yue retreated dozens of meters until she reached Zhenli, who was drawing a diagram on site, before she felt a little better.

Out of the corner of his eye, Truth saw the figure retreating to his side. He looked up and prepared to rise and bow:

"The Earl..."

But before she could finish speaking, Bai Yue pressed her down into a chair and said kindly, "No need for formalities, what are you drawing?"

Truth pursed his lips, displaying a nervousness reminiscent of a contractor facing a client. Pointing to his sketches, he explained nervously, "These are some of my ideas for the future of this place. As you mentioned, I used the traditional Ursus style for the architectural sketches of the Earl's Mansion and the Dim Courtyard. I wonder if you are satisfied?"

"Um..."

Bai Yue took a closer look and found that although the composition was immature, it was still pleasing to the eye in its meticulousness, but...

"I don't like the traditional Ursus style. You should learn from the Victorian and Yan styles instead. I like those. And the Dim Courtyard should be designed to look like a courtyard, as the name suggests. What is this tenement building? It's ugly. Change it!"

"Oh, I understand."

Truth nodded hastily, though she didn't understand much, but at this point, a nod was enough. Poor Mei, a student who hadn't even graduated yet, was about to suffer the client's malice.

"I'll have Amber send you the materials. Study them carefully, and hopefully these buildings will be the brainchild of the Chernobog people."

"Yes, Your Excellency."

Chapter 142: Becoming a Chernobyl Police Officer, Enjoying a Life with a Baton

The piles of waste on the city streets were all removed, and although the city was still dilapidated, a sense of order was beginning to emerge.

The collapsed ruins were cleared, burying the remains of the past.

On the street, simply dressed police officers, batons in hand, maintained order. In the aftermath of a natural disaster, one cannot trust people's hearts. Sure enough, a burly Sarkaz officer casually grabbed a middle-aged, obese Ursus man who was furtively walking past him.

"*Ursus curse*, what do you think you're doing, you demon!" He struggled frantically, and the racial knight's words drew many sidelong glances.

But as he struggled, countless pieces of gold, jewelry, gold-cast Cherwen, and even precious antiques of unknown origin fell out of his tattered clothes.

His bloated body rapidly became thinner.

Everyone's eyes turned to the wealth scattered on the ground. Some were disdainful, some envious, and some greedy, but no one dared to reach out. As Sarkaz officers surrounded them.

Sarkaz Squad Leader said coldly, "Temporary visitor, you have violated His Highness the Earl's First Act. I will exercise special enforcement powers to take you back to the Special Operations Bureau for a criminal assessment. Any objections?"

The middle-aged Ursus man struggled violently: "*Ursus profanity*, I am a municipal official of Chernobog, how dare you treat me like this, you mere demons! I will report you to the Marquis and have you all killed!"

“…Heh.” The Sarkaz squad leader smiled and gestured to his team members, “Execute the regulations.”

"understand!"

Three Sarkaz officers grinned and quickly stripped him naked to make sure he had no valuables left on him. However, out of consideration for the women present, they did not remove his underwear.

But...

Hehe, a check is essential!

The middle-aged Ursus cried out in terror and despair, "Quack, don't touch it!"

But the Sarkaz operators weren't about to stop!

With a wicked grin, he grabbed his crotch and gave it a hard squeeze. Just as the man's eyes were about to pop out, he regretfully withdrew his hand after confirming that there was really nothing hidden there.

Another Sarkaz agent, carrying a baton, stepped forward and remarked, "Bo-zai, you're still as perverted as ever."

"Hehe, that's all there is to life." Bozai also drew his baton from his waist, looked at the middle-aged Ursus man who hadn't yet recovered from the 'chicken fight', and immediately struck him with the baton with a whooshing sound.

Not to be outdone, his companion also unleashed his long-practiced eight-strike technique in one second.

"Ahhhhh!!!"

The injured person is currently in stable condition.

Just as the unfortunate man was barely breathing, two Ursus police officers drove up in a car and barged in: "Make way, make way! This is the Secret Service on official business, there's nothing to see here!"

Two Ursus police officers got out of their car and looked at the middle-aged Ursus man who had been stripped naked on the ground. They frowned as they looked at the Sarkaz officer and asked, "What happened? Didn't the chief say we were going to take him back to the station for questioning?"

Sarkaz, the squad leader, pointed indifferently at the valuables on the ground and sneered, "Unfortunately, he's a former municipal official from Chernobog. He stole so much property, insulted us, and even tried to resist with force. The chief said he'd handle it as a special case."

"Oh!"

The Ursus officers immediately reacted, saluting the Sarkaz squad: "Thank you all for your help. We'll take this criminal back to the station!"

"Hmm." The Sarkaz squad leader nodded, first gesturing for his men to pick up the valuables on the ground, then shouting to the crowd that had gathered to watch the spectacle:

"This person violated the first law and has now been executed. Please remember Article 8 of the law: It is forbidden to illegally possess, transfer, or conceal pre-disaster and public assets in any form. Violators will be treated as plunderers and severely punished."

"These assets all belong to the Earl and are part of the city's disaster reconstruction funds."

"If anyone violates this rule, the Secret Service's prison is currently empty, waiting to be filled. If anyone resists, that will be their fate! If anyone wishes to leave, the merciful Earl will provide you with enough water and food to last for fifteen days, hoping you can find a place to belong on this land!"

His speech elicited numerous reactions.

Some were indignant because they had considerable assets, some were fortunate because they were penniless, and some were ashamed because they were Rhodes Island operators. However, they could also understand that the generous daily wages they received were not fake.

That count really gets things done with the money he's paid!

But no one suggested leaving. Those who could have fled had already done so at the beginning of the disaster, leaving behind only unfortunate nobles and ordinary citizens who had lost everything.

For them, going to other cities to become refugees is not as good as staying in their local area and working like cattle.

Although the new Earl's policies were anthropomorphic, at least he didn't let his people go hungry. As long as they received their work badges and worked hard, they could eat their fill.

Although they were busy, they were full and there was no danger to their lives. These Sarkaz police officers, though fierce, would not harm innocent people, and were much better than the Ursus military police who only knew how to extort money.

Such a fine nobleman is a rare find in Ursus, what more could you ask for!

......

The site of the demolition of the core city command tower.

"Attention all departments, the countdown to the blast is ten minutes. Please check the equipment in an orderly manner to ensure it is functioning properly. If there are any problems, please report them to me immediately and replace them with backup equipment. Do not make any mistakes!"

"Demolition team received."

"Drone team received."

"Radio group received."

"..."

Inside the command tent.

Bai Yue lifted the curtain and stepped inside. Looking at the entire command tower displayed on the giant screen, along with the explosives placed at various nodes, she said lightly:

"Not bad, Kroos, that's quite efficient."

"Of course!"

Kroos proudly put her hands on her hips, patted the red box beside her, and said energetically:

"To complete your task, our engineering department worked overtime for five consecutive days and finally finalized the plan yesterday. It will be officially implemented today!"

"Mmm, that's great, that's great."

Bai Yue clapped her hands, walked to the table, slowly pulled out a chair, sat down, propped her chin on her hand, and said calmly:

"Once this mission is complete, you can start preparing to repair the core city's mobility system. The demolition mission isn't urgent; we need to go to Lungmen first to replenish our supplies."

Kroos opened her mouth wide, her eyes darting around like a slot machine, finally settling into the shape of gold coins. She swallowed hard and said in a trembling voice:

"Um... Boss, maintenance work on mobile cities is very expensive, are you really sure you want to...?"

Bai Yue covered her mouth and grinned mischievously: "Who said I was going to spend money?"

"Huh? It's free?" Kroos immediately changed her expression: "Tch, no way. Find someone else. I don't have time for this."

"No, Kroos, you must do it."

"Why should I?" Kroos asked instinctively, then realized the voice sounded strange. Turning around, she saw... Kal'tsit!

No, no, even Kal'tsit can't make me do a losing business!

Kroos decided to argue her case.

But Kal'tsit just smiled at Bai Yue and said, "No problem, Rhodes Island will take this on, and Kroos will do her best."

"Ah I?"

Chapter 143 The Place Where Dreams Begin

Da da--

The empty underground space was filled with the crisp, muffled sounds of numerous footsteps echoing in the air. The huge exhaust fan remained motionless, making the figures appear like ants.

Suddenly, Bai Yue, who was walking in the middle of the group, asked curiously:

"Was the doctor rescued from here?"

"Ah."

Kal'tsit, who was leading the way, explained in a gentle voice, "During the previous Reunion invasion, it was Amiya and Dobermann, among other operators, who went deep into this place and brought the Doctor out."

“I remember that Nearl also participated in the mission. She was the real participant. The Doctor was able to return to Rhodes Island safely thanks to her.”

Nearl, who was at the back of the group watching over Shining and Nightingale, had never seen Kal'tsit treat her like this before, and was immediately flattered and said:

"No, it's all thanks to my colleagues. I only acted as a shield to block a few attacks."

Kroos, following behind Kal'tsit with resentment, retorted:

"Those attacks were no ordinary ones. The engineering department was astonished when they inspected your shield. With that kind of material and your strength, it still managed to leave marks. If it had hit the Doctor, hmph..."
