Ark Simulator, Aren't I Without a Physical Body?

Seeing that the atmosphere was somewhat silent and heavy, Su Rui quickly clapped her hands to interrupt Myrtle, drawing their attention to herself.

Volume 8, Chapter 524: Gavial Eats First

Su Rui's movements immediately attracted the attention of the women around her.

Gavial, the Eunectes, Pozëmka, and Myrtle all instinctively turned their gazes to Su Rui.

The way the four of them suddenly turned their heads and stared intently at Su Rui was indeed somewhat frightening.

"What's wrong? Aren't we supposed to be resting?"

A bead of sweat slowly trickled down Su Rui's forehead. Taking a deep breath and forcing herself to calm down, Su Rui nodded to Myrtle and the others.

"I still have ice cream here, as well as all sorts of snacks and drinks. It's a good time for us to take a good rest, so let's not think too much about it."

Gavial shook his head, smiled, walked up to Su Rui, and picked Su Rui up in his arms.

"Actually, I have another suggestion, but I don't know what the others think?"

"... I have no objection." The Eunectes nodded, its tone somewhat resentful, as if it were retaliating against Su Rui, which sent a chill down Su Rui.

Myrtle looked around in confusion, and after noticing the glances from Pozëmka and the Eunectes, she realized what was about to happen and nodded in agreement.

"Good idea, I understand, and I have no objections."

"Wait a minute! Whatever you're planning, listen to me first. I have something to say!"

Su Rui immediately sensed something was wrong and struggled in Gavial 'Gavial arms, trying to break free.

However, Gavial wouldn't let Su Rui escape so easily. She immediately tightened her embrace, forcing Su Rui to stay in her arms.

Also, although Gavial has a somewhat carefree personality and likes to use violence, she does have a great figure, and it's quite comfortable to hold her in your arms.

Gavial carried Su Rui to a secluded spot under a parasol. At this moment, with all the Durin... almost all the Durin gone to solve the life-or-death problem of the dungeon, no one would discover their actions.

As she walked, Gavial didn't forget to turn back and wink and smile at Pozëmka and the others:

"By the way, I've never had Su Rui before, so let me go first this time~"

It was only then that Su Rui realized that her bad premonitions were about to come true.

Su Rui immediately became somewhat dissatisfied and tried to struggle:

"Wait a minute, Gavial, while we're familiar with each other, we're not that close yet, are we? Calm down, don't blindly follow the crowd, that's not a good idea!"

"What do you know?" Gavial pinched Su Rui's cheek. "You're so good-looking, and you have that aura that makes people instinctively want to be close to you. Don't you really know anything about that? You're just wandering around in front of me, it feels like you're trying to seduce me, don't you know that?!"

As he spoke, Gavial led Su Rui to a spacious beach chair and looked directly into Su Rui's eyes:

"Actually, I've wanted to make my move on you for a long time, but there were always people around you that prevented me from getting the chance... If we were in the rainforest, I would have just knocked you out and taken you back to my room. Otherwise, you wouldn't have been able to delay this long until I finally found my opportunity."

After saying that, Gavial didn't give Su Rui any time to react, and directly sealed Su Rui's lips with a kiss, beginning to use her violence to achieve her goal.

The sound of the fabric being torn surprised and alarmed Myrtle.

"Wait a minute, Eunectes! There aren't any clothes here that fit Su Rui's current size. If you tear them, we'll have to figure out how to get Su Rui clothes later."

Pozëmka nodded, "Considering that Durin and the others are going to relocate the entire underground city, it might be quite troublesome to prepare clothes for Su Rui."

Gavial paused for a moment, and after thinking for a while, the Eunectes and the others still heard a crisp "rip" sound of fabric tearing.

Even Su Rui was stunned, and questioned Gavial with a mixture of surprise and dissatisfaction:

"Didn't you hear me? I don't have any suitable clothes to wear! Are you going to make me... um?"

Before Su Rui could finish speaking, Gavial silenced her again, and this time, Gavial pulled Su Rui up and started hiking in a row.

Halfway up the mountain, Gavial slowly released Su Rui's lips, looking at Su Rui and Pozëmka and the others with a hint of smugness:

"Anyway, it'll just be a few of us on the way back, so what's wrong with Su Rui wearing less clothing? Don't you guys think so?"

Su Rui looked at Gavial with disbelief, never expecting that the straightforward and outspoken Gavial could come up with such an idea.

Myrtle, standing nearby, immediately brightened up and expressed her approval. "Great idea! I remember Su Rui had an almost transparent gauze dress in her System Space; Su Rui even showed it to me!"

Myrtle's words immediately drew the attention of both the Eunectes and Pozëmka to Su Rui.

"... snort."

Su Rui remained silent, letting out a cold snort and ignoring their gazes.

However, at this moment, Gavial is still duo-queuing with Su Rui, and Su Rui has no way to escape.

After exchanging a glance, Pozëmka and the Eunectes approached Su Rui and Gavial, surrounding Su Rui from different directions.

As for Myrtle, because of her height, she couldn't block Su Rui like the Eunectes and the others, so she could only sit on the sidelines, a little unhappy, watching Su Rui interact intimately with the other three girls.

"You three are having so much fun, I need to spend some time alone with Su Rui later."

"No problem, we can go inside the aircraft anyway, it's safe there and we won't be detected."

Gavial smiled and glanced at Myrtle, then asked Su Rui, who was still in her arms:

"So, Su Rui and Durin have already decided on their next course of action?"

"Of course, after I presented them with that intelligence, they all realized the seriousness of the situation, so they've started arranging for the designers to do the relevant work. Now the Durin are bustling around, actually having strayed from the original topic; they're now discussing what to do once they get to the ground."

Su Rui said this in an annoyed tone, not forgetting to add:

"Also, I've landed the aircraft at the exit of the dungeon, so we can leave now if you wish."

"Alright, let's set off immediately!"

The Eunectes immediately stood up, holding Su Rui, and winked at the surprised Su Rui:

"What? Don't worry, even though we're still playing duos, I'll make sure you don't fall!"

Although Gavial's tail isn't as agile as Eunectes's, it can still wrap around Su Rui's waist to prevent Su Rui from falling.

Volume 8, 525 Unmanned Driving

Su Rui and Gavial's ranking continued for a long time. After all, the aircraft was unmanned, so they did not stop even after the aircraft had taken off and started its journey back to Rhodes Island.

In particular, besides Su Rui, the only other people here are Gavial, who just ate meat, Pozëmka, who is getting impatient, the Eunectes, and Myrtle.

Moreover, Su Rui originally thought that considering the privacy and enclosed environment inside the aircraft's passenger cabin, she could simply wear some looser clothes that didn't fit Durin's body type.

But Gavial and the others refused.

When Gavial finished playing duo queue with Su Rui and placed Su Rui on her lap, Gavial noticed the clothes Su Rui took out of her System Space and frowned in displeasure.

Before Su Rui could react, Gavial snatched the garment from Su Rui hand and tossed it aside.

At the same time, Gavial's discontent also came to mind:

"This isn't what we agreed on. What did we ask for? Think about it, these aren't the clothes we wanted."

"You have so many demands."

Su Rui rolled her eyes in dissatisfaction and took out a thin gauze garment. To call it a gauze garment was an understatement; it was actually just a loose, semi-transparent piece of colored gauze.

Su Rui had just wrapped her gauze robe around herself when Pozëmka picked Su Rui up again.

"So, is it my turn next? What are we going to do together?"

"What do you think? How about we play a thrilling game of Ludo?" Su Rui glanced at Pozëmka, who was feigning ignorance, with a hint of displeasure.

However, Pozëmka was only teasing Su Rui, so she wasn't angry. She simply tightened her embrace, making it impossible for Su Rui to escape.

Actually, Su Rui hadn't planned to run away; she just rolled her eyes in annoyance.

The intimate moments between them lasted for a long time, until the aircraft's AI voice, soft yet unmistakable, echoed in the enclosed cabin, "Attention, this aircraft has arrived at the Rhodes Island landing pad. Passengers, please prepare to disembark."

Only then did Su Rui realize that the warm embrace surrounding her had suddenly loosened.

Su Rui blinked, as if waking from a beautiful dream.

The soft lighting inside the cabin seemed particularly glaring at the moment, forcing him to raise his arm to shield his eyes, since the light that Su Rui had been seeing had been blocked by the others.

"Oh dear, we've arrived so quickly?" Myrtle's voice was filled with obvious reluctance; her slender fingers were still resting on Su Rui's shoulder, as if she was reluctant to let go completely.

Pozëmka had already sat up straight and was tidying her somewhat disheveled clothes.

"We spent a full three hours in the cabin; time really flew by."

She turned to Su Rui, her icy blue eyes showing an unusual gentleness. "Are you alright?"

Su Rui opened her mouth, but found her throat so dry that she couldn't make a sound.

For three hours straight, the five of them squeezed into this small, enclosed cabin, sharing "snacks, stories, and body heat."

The feeling of being completely accepted made him almost forget the existence of the outside world.

The Eunectes stretched, its strong arm muscles clearly defined under the cabin lights.

"Enclosed spaces do make people lower their guard," she winked and smiled at Su Rui, her gaze sweeping over everyone, "Especially when you're with people you trust." Su Rui was slightly surprised that the Eunectes would say such things.

Gavial, who was checking her medical kit, looked up when she heard this, her golden-brown eyes gleaming with understanding behind her glasses. "Psychologically, this is called the ' Intimate Space Effect,' where the psychological distance between people naturally shortens in a confined space." She paused, looking at Su Rui, "But now, we have to face the outside world again."

"I didn't expect Gavial to know all this. I thought you only knew first aid." Su Rui was a little nervous.

The outside world. Rhodes Island. Colleagues. Public occasions. Considering that her interpersonal relationships at Rhodes Island might cause some tension, Su Rui's fingers unconsciously tightened around the hem of her clothes.

Myrtle keenly noticed Su Rui's change.

"Hey," she gently took Su Rui's hand, trying to soothe Su Rui slightly nervousness, "It's okay, we're all here."

"I just..." Su Rui's voice was soft, almost a murmur, "I'm not very good at... switching back from this state."

Su Rui pointed to the cabin, then to the outside, her gestures conveying an unspeakable anxiety.

Pozëmka nodded understandingly. "It certainly takes a transition to go from being inseparable to putting on a social mask again."

She took a mint out of her pocket and handed it to Su Rui. "Here, take your time, no rush."

Su Rui took the candy, her fingertips briefly touching Pozëmka's. The warmth of that moment reminded her of the warmth of their bodies mingling together when they had been huddled together for the past few hours.

He suddenly realized that in this secluded little world of the cabin, he could lean on Myrtle's shoulder without any restraint, let the Eunectes's large hands gently stroke her hair, receive Gavial's professional massage to relieve her tense muscles, and even share little secrets with Pozëmka that he would never normally say.

But now, the hatch is about to open.

"Prepare to open the hatch." The AI's voice sounded again, accompanied by the hissing sound of pressure equalization.

"Speaking of which, could it be that Pozëmka prepared these candies to kidnap someone?"

Su Rui's body visibly stiffened, and she subconsciously took a step back, trying to relax by teasing Pozëmka.

After finishing her sentence, Su Rui hid behind the Eunectes. Gavial noticed this and gently pressed down on Su Rui's shoulder.

"Don't be nervous, Pozëmka won't get angry over something so small. Breathe," Gavial instructed in her calm voice, typical of a medic. "Take a deep breath, hold for three seconds, then exhale slowly."

Su Rui did as instructed, but his eyes remained fixed on the slowly opening hatch, and Pozëmka was also staring intently into Su Rui's eyes.

Through the widening gap, Su Rui could already see the bright lights of the Rhodes Island helipad and several familiar figures in the distance—the other operators waiting for the aircraft to land.

Myrtle suddenly stood in front of Su Rui, blocking her view of the cabin door.

She was half a head taller than Su Rui, who was now Durin, and she lowered her head slightly, her long pink hair hanging down, forming a soft barrier between the two of them.

According to Durin's aesthetic standards, Myrtle is actually considered a mature, older woman.

Volume 8, Chapter 526: This is a secret

"Listen," Myrtle's voice was unusually firm, "Everything that happens in the cabin belongs only to the five of us. No one outside will know, and no one will judge. Besides..." She glanced back at the half-open cabin door, then turned back with a sly smile, "If you're really nervous, just take my hand and walk out. Let them guess."

The Eunectes chuckled softly, "A typical Durin solution."

"But it's very effective, isn't it?" Pozëmka raised an eyebrow, already standing by the hatch, ready to be the first to step out.

Gavial straightened his white coat and nodded to Su Rui: "Let's go, stop dawdling."

The hatch opened fully, and familiar Rhodes Island air rushed into the cabin, carrying a mixed smell of disinfectant and engine oil, a stark contrast to the warm and private atmosphere inside.

Su Rui took a deep breath, savoring the atmosphere of this place he called "home".

Myrtle extended her hand to her, palm up, a silent invitation.

Su Rui hesitated for a second, then placed her hand on top. Myrtle's fingers immediately closed, firmly grasping Su Rui's hand.

"Are you ready?" Myrtle asked softly.

Su Rui didn't answer, but he took a step forward and stood beside Myrtle at the cabin door. The lights on the tarmac shone on them, casting long, long shadows.
