Ark Simulator: Didn't I Not Have a Physical Form?
"Hmm! How about we make pizza?"
Suzuran's eyes lit up, and she jumped off the bed to go to Vulpisfoglia's side.
Vulpisfoglia turned her gaze to Su Rui, and knowing what she was thinking, Su Rui took out various ingredients from her System Space and handed them to her:
"The kitchen is right next door, you can go there directly. I'll rest here for a bit now."
"It's alright." Vulpisfoglia gave Su Rui a meaningful look. "Eat more later, and after you're full, it'll be my turn to eat you."
"I'm not afraid of that." Su Rui glanced at Vulpisfoglia in return with a defiant look, then turned and walked to the sofa, where she sat down.
Vulpisfoglia didn't say anything more, but led Suzuran to the kitchen, where the two Wolper, one big and one small, began preparing lunch.
Meanwhile, Su Rui noticed Mudrock's movements with her Scanning Vision. Instead of immediately searching for the Sarkaz were stuck in Wolumonde, she first went to the camp outside the city where her team was stationed.
However, she had already secretly put on the goggles that Su Rui had given her, so that even without the observation window, you could still observe your surroundings through the field of vision provided by Su Rui and get a better view.
At the same time, Su Rui can also communicate with Mudrock. Although she can't speak into her ear without headphones, Su Rui can use text.
A string of characters appeared before Mudrock's eyes: [When do you plan to begin searching this city?]
Then Su Rui saw Mudrock pause for a moment, then looked at the people around her and asked, "Does any of you know how to read...? No, it's okay."
It seems she realized that even if someone could read, they wouldn't be able to take the goggles from her and read the contents.
With this in mind, Su Rui somewhat reluctantly modified her communication style with Mudrock.
The goggles also have a small speaker, but because the sound quality is so poor, they can only be used in emergencies.
But now it's time to prepare for an emergency, right?
Kazdel's cultural education definitely needs to be expedited. Although Su Rui had already arranged these routes, in his view, now was the time to use this emergency measure.
Reluctantly, he turned on the speaker on his goggles. Su Rui's slightly distorted voice, crackling with microphone noise, rang in Mudrock's ears:
"Alright, stop asking. I just want to know when you plan to make your move."
Mudrock paused for a moment, then nodded from inside his protective suit. He wasn't surprised by Su Rui's sudden appearance and explained, "I plan to take a few people with me. Let's set off now."
"Okay, I'll mark the location for you, but you'd better not split up. Although Wolumonde is quiet now, it's not a place you can just barge into. Who knows if someone's temper will suddenly explode?"
Mudrock nodded, glanced at the route shown by Su Rui through his goggles, said nothing more, began selecting his team, and set off again toward Wolumonde.
Su Rui's chosen route allowed her to explore the entire Wolumonde area, given the Sarkaz's scattered and ubiquitous distribution.
As the saying goes, everything is difficult at the beginning. We can't very well ask Mudrock to lead the group we've already found back into the city center to search again, can we?
Therefore, the team's initial route was to enter the very center of Wolumonde to conduct a search.
After Mudrock led the team for a while, someone realized something was wrong. After all, this was different from Mudrock's usual way of doing things, so someone immediately asked:
"Boss, where are we going? Don't we usually start our search from the outskirts of the city?"
"I've found detailed information about Wolumonde; all you need to do is follow me."
I don't know if he learned this behavior from Su Rui, but in any case, Mudrock also learned to be autocratic.
Although the other team members were also somewhat puzzled, since Mudrock had said so, they obeyed the order and followed Mudrock toward the center of the city.
However, the information provided by Su Rui was correct. Following the route given by Su Rui, Mudrock and the others arrived at the city center without any problems and found the Sarkaz there.
Even though it was in the city center, it didn't mean that life was any better for the Sarkaz, so they naturally decided to leave with Mudrock and the others.
Volume 7, Chapter 412: Suzuran: I'm amazing too!
Mudrock's progress is going smoothly, leading more and more Sarkaz towards the outskirts of the city and gradually gathering more of his fellow Sarkaz.
It's only because they have the intelligence provided by Su Rui that they're supported; otherwise, leading such a large group of people around the city would cause anyone's heart to stop.
It's certain to cause chaos and raise alarm, and it might even trigger conflict.
However, the Sarkaz's identity also meant they faced hostility wherever they went, and obtaining permission through official means was impossible.
Putting aside the fact that the real decision-makers in Wolumonde are those arrogant nobles, even now, the Wolumonde military police and so-called elders would never agree to let the Sarkaz bring their troops into their city.
Therefore, Mudrock and her team's current plan is the most suitable after repeatedly hitting a wall.
With Su Rui's help, Mudrock's operation went smoothly, avoiding the patrolling guards and passersby, and leading his entire Sarkaz team to the outskirts of the city.
"Alright, these are the Sarkaz of Wolumonde. That's all. You can leave now. The next city is beyond my control, so be careful."
"Understood, thank you for your help."
After finishing his conversation with Su Rui, Mudrock Yan led his team toward their encampment.
As Su Rui snapped out of her reverie, she caught a whiff of a delicious aroma wafting from the kitchen. Did that mean lunch was almost ready?
That makes sense. After all, it took Mudrock and the others several hours to get all the Sarkaz out of the city. Su Rui should be wondering why lunch is only just being prepared now.
So, Su Rui got up, shook her nine tails that were feeling numb from being pressed down, and walked towards the kitchen.
As they approached, Vulpisfoglia came out carrying a freshly heated pizza.
"It's over already? Little Lisa and I have been preparing for this for so long."
Vulpisfoglia glanced at Su Rui, then nudged him with her hip as Su Rui passed by, before walking out of the kitchen.
Yes, they've already left.
Su Rui ignored Vulpisfoglia's little tantrum, shrugged, went into the kitchen, and took out a dinner that Vulpisfoglia and Suzuran had prepared together.
"Then I'll have to go and call the others. Aye and Anto probably haven't eaten yet either."
As she spoke, Vulpisfoglia winked at Su Rui: "We won't let Little Lisa go; it's not safe outside."
"Okay, I understand."
Su Rui waved her hand, and instead of going out, went back to the kitchen to help serve the food.
As he performed these actions, he directly connected with Aye and Anto's personal terminals using his Scanning Vision, and Su Rui's voice then rang out from the terminals:
"You haven't had lunch yet, have you? Vulpisfoglia and Little Suzuran have prepared something delicious, come and have some."
After saying that, Su Rui ended the call without giving them time to react.
Anyway, judging from the Scanning Vision, Aye and Anto hadn't eaten anything, so we just had to wait for them to come over.
On the other side, Anto and Aye, who had been chatting, exchanged a glance and realized that they had been so engrossed in their conversation that they had forgotten the time.
So, after exchanging a glance, they got up and went outside.
Lunch was plentiful, and everyone enjoyed it. However, a small incident occurred when the topic of Rhodes Island's upcoming plans in Wolumonde came up.
"Our work is done. Now, all we have to do is wait for Rhodes Island's office here to be rebuilt, right?"
Aye said with some doubt, but Anto next to her shook his head:
"I want to stay here a little longer. There's an orphanage in Wolumonde, and some Infected children here. I'm a little worried about them."
Anto's reasons were quite valid, at least for Aye, so she was momentarily speechless and nodded.
Vulpisfoglia then turned her gaze to Su Rui, because any further discussion before Su Rui made a judgment would be impractical:
"Anything else I need to be aware of in Wolumonde?"
"Hmm, Severin's men are too stupid, and they can't even locate the Winterwisps, let alone distinguish them."
Su Rui shrugged:
"In other words, these people haven't eliminated the most fundamental hidden danger. If we want Wolumonde to remain peaceful, we still need to stay here for a while... Besides, the Winterwisps are indeed quite capable."
Vulpisfoglia nodded, not too worried. She just needed to stay here a little longer. Anyway, with Su Rui around, those enemies wouldn't be a problem.
Suzuran twitched her ears in confusion, then reached out and grabbed one of Su Rui's tails, pulling it into her arms.
"But Father, didn't we already perform the Ritual Dance? Why should we still worry about those Winterwisps?"
"Because the purpose of Ritual Dance is to cleanse people of negative emotions, but it cannot change a person's mindset or character, nor can it turn a good person into a bad one."
Su Rui reached out and pinched Suzuran's cheek. "But as long as the overall mood calms down, it's just a few troublemakers who want to cause trouble, and they won't be able to do anything big."
"If that's the case, why did you say there might be trouble?" Vulpisfoglia deliberately seized on a loophole in Su Rui's words to tease him, only to be met with a glare from Su Rui.
"Don't make small talk. I'm referring to the chaos caused by the group being provoked, but even if the Winterwisps can't cause chaos, their combat power is still very threatening. Also, they're using magic to prepare for trouble, and it seems they're planning to summon something big."
"Then we need to get started as soon as possible... Su Rui, you have a plan, right?"
"Of course, their preparations will take at least three days, and some are even considering waiting until we leave before taking action."
As Su Rui spoke, she put down her tablet and added:
"However, it's necessary to clarify that Anto, Suzuran, and I will not be participating in this operation. Aye and Vulpisfoglia will be in charge of the assault."
Because Su Rui had to ensure Suzuran's safety, Anto himself, as a doctor, didn't have much combat ability.
In reality, with Su Rui's Scanning Vision and Su Rui's support, Vulpisfoglia doesn't actually need an assistant.
However, just to be on the safe side, it would be better to bring Aye along.
Although Suzuran had some minor objections to the division of labor, the little girl believed that she was old enough to not need to be too careful and could carry out the mission with Vulpisfoglia.
However Su Rui and Vulpisfoglia disagreed, and there was nothing Suzuran could do about it.
Volume 7, Chapter 413: The Big Tails Need a Nap
Although she refused Suzuran's request to go with her, the little girl still harbored some resentment and reluctance.
But this was still very easy for Su Rui and Vulpisfoglia. Su Rui gently pinched Suzuran's soft cheek and whispered:
"Little Lisa, are you full?"
"Mmm, I'm full."
Suzuran nodded, and then Su Rui lifted her up by the armpits:
"Let's take a nap after we've eaten, or go soak up some sun and rest for a while."
Suzuran nodded. Taking a nap with Su Rui was something she used to do often with Su Rui. Sleeping leisurely in the afternoon sun, using Su Rui's big tail as a blanket, was something Suzuran really enjoyed.
Because of her small size, Su Rui's big tail can easily serve as a blanket for Suzuran of the Valley, allowing the little girl to sleep comfortably.
Su Rui carried Suzuran to the bedroom, giving Vulpisfoglia a look as she closed the door: 'You guys leave after I've put Suzuran to sleep, understand?'
'Just don't fall asleep with Suzuran.'
Vulpisfoglia smiled and looked at Anto after Su Rui closed the door, "I'll leave Su Rui and Little Suzuran in your care for now, Dr. Anto. Please don't let them run around."
"Don't worry, I'll take good care of them."
Anto nodded, and after giving his instructions, Vulpisfoglia looked at Aye and waved to her.
There was no need to wait for Suzuran to fall asleep. After being covered by Su Rui's big tail, little Suzuran of the Valley would always fall asleep as soon as she lay down, sleeping very peacefully, and you couldn't wake her up no matter how much you called her.
So there's no need to worry about Suzuran suddenly wanting to find her mother; just take action.
After leaving the apartment with Aye, Vulpisfoglia mentally contacted Su Rui: 'How is she? Is Xiao Suzuran asleep?'
"How could you fall asleep so quickly with such difficulty?"
Su Rui's irritating voice echoed in Vulpisfoglia's mind:
"She just fell asleep and used my tail as a blanket."
'I also want to use your tail as a blanket.'
"Of course I can wait for you to come back."
'Speaking of which, your nine tails are so big, aren't you tired?'
Su Rui rolled her eyes. "I know my own tail. Do you feel your arm is heavy?"
The sound of Vulpisfoglia's cheerful laughter echoed in his mind. Su Rui didn't say anything more, but only urged:
"Alright, get going! I've marked the destination in your field of vision."
Su Rui spoke somewhat impatiently, then showed the map to Vulpisfoglia, marking the destination:
"These guys are hiding in pretty well-hidden places; if it weren't for the Scanning Vision, I might not have been able to spot them."
"That's because you lack experience. For assassins like us, finding these hiding places is a piece of cake."
There was a hint of smugness in Vulpisfoglia's tone, but Su Rui wasn't buying it:
"So what? Back in Syracuse, you couldn't have slaughtered so many without me."
