Ark Simulator, Aren't I Supposed to Have No Physical Body?
The Infected below had long since died out, so the rhythm of the music and spells was used to enhance the dance movements, making Su Rui and Suzuran's dance even more captivating.
In the final minutes, even the crowds from Wolumonde, drawn by the dance, practically packed the area.
In this situation, surprisingly, no one clashed with the Infected; instead, everyone kept a slight distance and focused their attention on Su Rui and Suzuran.
Even after the dance ended and Su Rui and Suzuran stopped dancing, the audience below did not disperse, still watching Su Rui and Suzuran with eager eyes.
Suzuran was a little nervous; her fluffy ears drooped down as she hid beside Su Rui, looking at the crowd below with some panic.
Su Rui, on the other hand, acted more naturally, coughing lightly and using magic to amplify his voice so that everyone could hear him without finding it jarring.
"Alright, the dance is over. There's one more thing. Recently, Winterwisps have infiltrated the city, trying to incite riots and harm Rhodes Island operators and Infected. These conflicts are not your intentions. Don't be deceived. Someone wants you and your former brothers and sisters to kill each other. Don't fall into their trap."
Su Rui paused for a moment, then continued, "Weren't those Infected your family and compatriots before they became Infected? Just because they were infected, you abandoned them or even treated them as enemies. Don't you think that's incredibly inhumane?"
Although these words lacked persuasiveness, the influence of the recently concluded Dance Arts, and the bewitching nature of the Nine-Tailed Fox's magic, actually made the people below begin to think.
Su Rui paused for a moment. "Now, all of you go home and get some rest. Do what you're supposed to do, don't cause trouble. Leave the rest to us, understand?"
A few scattered responses came from below. Su Rui was somewhat dissatisfied. Although he wasn't the superior here, it didn't stop him from feeling that way. So Su Rui raised his voice:
"I didn't hear you clearly, did you hear me?"
The people below answered in unison, just like students in a school. "We heard it!"
Su Rui nodded in satisfaction, and after the noise subsided, she waved her hand. "Alright, meeting adjourned. There will be a performance before we leave, you can go now."
Thus, amidst the clamor of discussions and cheers, Wolumonde, which had been quiet due to the Catastrophe disaster, suddenly became somewhat lively.
Tagiana quickly approached Su Rui and Suzuran, who had just stepped down from the platform, and expressed her gratitude with sparkling eyes. "Thank you so much, Mr. Su Rui, you've been a great help!"
"Hmm, and I've already found the trail of that Winterwisps. Once we take care of them, the chaos here won't happen again."
Su Rui shrugged, then saw Severin standing not far away and waved to him. "Hey! Old Deng, I need some help from you here. You'd better come over yourself too!"
Severin paused, not quite understanding Su Rui's form of address and manner of speaking, but he still grasped Su Rui's meaning. He took a few steps closer, looking at Su Rui with a questioning gaze. "You really found clues about the Winterwisps?"
"I not only have clues, I also know their exact location."
Su Rui, hands on her hips, answered with a hint of smugness, then said, "Besides, when our Rhodes Island operators encountered danger here, I didn't even question you. As the military police captain, you bear some responsibility, don't you?"
"... I do bear some responsibility, and I am willing to take responsibility and provide assistance."
Severin nodded. "I'll go with you to make sure nothing goes wrong."
"No need. The Winterwisps ' address is here, and I'll tell you the situation directly. You're in charge of dealing with them. I still need to find Rhodes Island's operator, Anto. Solve your own problem."
As Su Rui spoke, she handed a map to Severin: "This is where the Winterwisps are hiding. Their numbers and distribution are also shown here. Your manpower should be able to handle them easily."
Severin glanced at the map, nodded, and gave Su Rui a long look. "Thank you for your help. I'll take care of this now."
"So he didn't mention payment to me at all." Su Rui looked at Aye:
"I know where Anto is. She's not in danger yet, but we'd better hurry."
Aye nodded, while Tagiana beside him, looked at him somewhat embarrassed and apologized after hearing Su Rui's words.
"I'm sorry, although I appreciate your help, Wolumonde really doesn't have many resources right now, we..."
"Don't worry, Su Rui was just joking." Vulpisfoglia patted Tagiana's shoulder. "We're leaving now."
"Okay, have a safe trip. I'll try to prepare some tokens of my appreciation."
And so, Tagiana watched as Su Rui was pushed away by Vulpisfoglia and Suzuran, leading Aye away from that spot and heading towards the Rhodes Island medical station in Wolumonde.
Aye was very curious:
"Su Rui, how did you pinpoint Anto's location?"
Volume 7, Chapter 405: The Position of Anto
Su Rui smiled and glanced at Aye, pondering how to answer the question, when Vulpisfoglia beside him answered Aye's question for him:
"Su Rui is very good at gathering intelligence and deducing results through the internet, so this must be a clue he found beforehand."
"That's right." Su Rui nodded. "Using the network to monitor every corner with electronic devices is what I'm best at."
"I understand... It's an amazing ability." Aye nodded, somewhat incredulous, but she believed it, along with her fellow Rhodes Island operators, Vulpisfoglia and Su Rui.
With the question answered, Su Rui and Vulpisfoglia led Suzuran and Aye toward the location marked by Su Rui.
Vulpisfoglia wondered to herself, "Operator Anto, is she really in this position? Why hasn't her glowing spot moved at all?"
"Of course, it's because she's in some danger and is resting." While answering the question in Vulpisfoglia's mind, Su Rui showed Anto's location and her specific situation.
Anto was under attack at that moment and was not at the medical station arranged by Rhodes Island. Su Rui showed the medical station that had been destroyed by fire after the attack, and then marked Anto's location:
"She's currently hiding in an abandoned building some distance from the medical station. We can use these traces as clues to find her."
"I understand." Vulpisfoglia nodded, a mocking smile creeping onto her lips. Knowing the result first, and then figuring out the process, is the procedure for solving problems when Su Rui is around.
Sometimes it makes you want to laugh.
However, Vulpisfoglia didn't say anything at this moment. She just followed Su Rui with a happy smile, placing her hand on Su Rui's tail and rubbing the soft, fluffy tail from time to time.
As they made their way to their destination, Suzuran, looking somewhat thoughtful, approached Su Rui and gently squeezed Su Rui's wrist, drawing Su Rui's attention to her.
"What's wrong, my adorable Little Lisa?" Su Rui's lips curled into a pleasant smile as she reached out and ruffled Lily of the Suzuran's fluffy ears, asking with a cheerful smile as she looked down at her.
"Dad, is it true that we're going to perform in Wolumonde, as you said before?"
Lily of the Suzuran's eyes sparkled with anticipation, though there was also some nervousness and hesitation in the little girl's gaze; she seemed somewhat worried that her performance hadn't been good enough.
Su Rui's smile deepened, and she reached out to pinch Lily of the Suzuran's cheek.
"Don't worry, I was just saying it casually. Whether you want to perform or not is up to Little Lisa. If you don't want to perform, just pretend it never happened. We'll leave here after we rescue Anto. The situation in Wolumonde is a bit unstable right now, so we'll just take Anto with us and leave."
Why is this happening? Aye looked at Su Rui with some regret. She had seen Su Rui and Suzuran's Dance Arts the whole time, and was naturally attracted by those beautiful movements and music.
Aye's heart had been racing with anticipation when she heard that Su Rui was planning to perform again, but now, was it all just going to end like this?
Aye was a little sad, but when she looked at Suzuran, she noticed that Suzuran seemed a little reluctant to part with her. Having partnered with Suzuran for a while, Aye realized that Suzuran wouldn't do that, so she just had to wait.
Just as Aye had guessed, Suzuran shook her head after hearing Su Rui's words. "No need, Dad. I'm just a little worried that my performance wasn't good enough. I don't want to give up on the performance."
"Oh, I see. Little Lisa and I have practiced those Dance Arts together since she was little. We use these movements when we play around, so how could she not perform well? Don't worry."
As Su Rui spoke, she wrapped the Suzuran in her large tail, letting the little girl experience what it felt like to be surrounded by a tail.
However, Suzuran herself is quite familiar with this matter, after all, she also has nine fluffy tails, only her tails are not big enough to completely envelop a person like Su Rui's.
"Moreover, our Dance Arts are not just for show. As long as the spells work and relax people's hearts, easing the atmosphere here, we have already done our job. The important thing is not the Dance Arts, but making the people here feel better."
Suzuran nodded as if she understood, then looked puzzled:
"However, the situation in Wolumonde doesn't seem to be something that can be solved by performances alone; this Mobile City is no longer functioning..."
"That's not the most important thing," Su Rui explained, pinching Suzuran's cheek.
"In fact, this Mobile City has just been hit by Catastrophe, and there won't be any more Catastrophe in the short term. The problems it faces now are the Infected affected by the Catastrophe, and the conflicts between the Infected and ordinary residents."
Su Rui led Suzuran and the others in a different direction, heading towards Rhodes Island's medical center, and continued explaining:
"Therefore, the most important thing right now is to alleviate the pressure on the residents here. As long as they don't break down or cause trouble, and problems arise in the city, it's not a big deal for Terra's current industrial capacity."
Suzuran nodded. "So, our Dance Arts can save this city?"
Su Rui nodded. "Yes, that's why they should thank us."
Seeing that the Dance Arts performance seemed to be confirmed and wouldn't be canceled, Aye couldn't help but smile happily. She and Su Rui moved forward together, and soon, led by Su Rui, they arrived at Rhodes Island's medical point there. Then they saw the Rhodes Island medical point, which had been burned to ruins.
"What's going on? Anto? Could she be inside?"
Aye tensed up instinctively, wanting to rush into the charred, collapsing medical station to find Anto, but Vulpisfoglia grabbed her shoulder and stopped her.
"Calm down, Anto shouldn't be inside. Look here."
As she spoke, Vulpisfoglia showed Aye the traces that Su Rui had previously detected using her Scanning Vision, and told her:
"Anto must have noticed the situation before the attack. Although she was slightly injured, she should have escaped safely. We should be able to find her by following these clues."
"Okay, I understand. Let's hurry up and go."
Aye looked at Vulpisfoglia anxiously, eager to know how her friend was doing.
Volume 7, Chapter 406: They had no electronic devices and were illiterate.
"Relax, let's set off now. If we pick up the pace, we should find it soon."
Vulpisfoglia spoke, she glanced at Su Rui and Suzuran, who were snuggling together and stroking each other's tails. This father and daughter really didn't seem nervous at all, but Suzuran must have been influenced by Su Rui to be like this.
"Su Rui, we should go, hurry up."
"Yes, don't worry, I saw Anto. She's bandaging herself. The camera footage is here, taken using Anto's personal terminal."
As Su Rui spoke, she took out a tablet and handed it to Aye, explaining, "There's also a map; it shows the way to find Anto."
"I understand, Mr. Su Rui is really amazing." After receiving news that her friend was safe, Aye couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. She glanced at Su Rui and Suzuran's eighteen fluffy tails intertwined, looking like fluffy little balls of fur, and couldn't help but laugh.
"What's so funny? Are you envious? You don't have such a great big tail."
Su Rui raised her chin triumphantly, while Suzuran glanced apologetically at Aye:
"I'm sorry, Aye- neechan, I wasn't distracted..."
"It's alright, thanks to you and Su Rui, I was able to find out Anto's location."
Aye smiled, looking at Su Rui and Suzuran leaning on each other with a hint of envy. She did indeed envy such a big tail.
"There's nothing to envy. By summer, both of them will be too hot to move."
Vulpisfoglia smiled and patted Su Rui on the shoulder, urging, "Alright, we should move on."
"Even if it's hot in the summer, won't I stay in an air-conditioned room?"
Su Rui rolled her eyes. "Knowing I can't handle the heat, I'm not going to deliberately go to a hot place to suffer."
Vulpisfoglia nodded, and the four of them chatted as they arrived at the small building where Anto was.
Su Rui stopped Aye, who was about to rush in. "Don't rush. Anto is a Rhodes Island medical operator who has received formal training. When danger comes, do you want to guess what she will do?"
Aye paused for a moment, then nodded and began searching for traps and clues in the surrounding area, preparing to signal Anto.
Rhodes Island's training naturally takes into account situations where operators are alone and in danger, and they also have corresponding contingency plans.
Soon, within Su Rui and Vulpisfoglia's Scanning Vision, Anto in the small building received the coded message from Aye. He was stunned for a moment, then immediately stood up and responded to Aye's coded message.
A short while later, through the coded signals and the identification of the traps, Su Rui and the other three spotted Anto hiding inside the small shelter, whose bandages had not yet been completely removed.
"Anto? What's wrong with you?"
Aye gasped in surprise, then rushed to Anto's side to bandage her wounds, before noticing a problem:
"It's a serious wound. I need more specialized medical equipment, but we don't have any here."
"But I might have some here. Tell me, what do you need?"
As Su Rui spoke, she came to Anto's side, checked Anto's condition, and then handed Aye a list of the medical equipment in her System Space.
"I..."
Aye was clearly surprised that Su Rui had such abilities, but she found that the list Su Rui had provided did indeed contain the equipment she needed. So, after Su Rui set up the equipment, Aye, with Suzuran's help, began to provide Anto with further treatment.
Vulpisfoglia and Su Rui remained on guard outside the operating room to prevent any other thugs from breaking in and endangering Aye and the others' safety.
However, while it's called a vigilance, in reality, the entire Mobile City is being monitored under Su Rui's Scanning Vision, and any individual or action that intends to harm them will be immediately flagged.
So Vulpisfoglia and Su Rui's work was easy; they just leaned against the wall outside the room, cuddling each other to pass the time.
Vulpisfoglia reached out and hugged Su Rui's big tail, burying her cheek in it and rubbing against it like Lily of Su Rui Suzuran.
"So, how long will we probably be staying here?"
"You'll probably be staying here for a few more days. Why the rush? If you want to rest, there are quiet rooms available."
As Su Rui spoke, she patted Vulpisfoglia's shoulder with her free tail:
"Once Anto's surgery is over, we'll go back to find that military police captain, Severin, and ask him to help arrange accommodation."
"I understand. Also, I'm not in that rush."
Vulpisfoglia spoke, it rubbed against Su Rui's tail again:
"I just want to know the situation here. Is there anything else wrong?"
