Ark Simulator: Don't I Have No Physical Form?

Then, regarding the destruction of the office, Saria hesitated, unsure of which areas would be most appropriate to damage.

A computer is definitely out of the question, as it's a very important device; if the data on it is corrupted, it might be impossible to recover.

"The sofa, and the walls, oh right, that painting is a reproduction, I wonder how much it cost, but it makes the office look like it's been completely renovated, and there's actually not much loss involved."

Su Rui casually marked the targets in Saria's line of sight. This process didn't last long, since Saria was only doing this to pretend, not out of genuine feeling.

After finishing this task, Saria, holding Ifrit's wrist, returned to the elevator in Kristen's office.

What should we do next? Do you have any suggestions?

After this minor incident, Saria gradually came to trust Su Rui and subconsciously asked him for his advice on the next steps.

"Hey, I happen to have an idea, take a look."

Su Rui spoke in a somewhat strange tone, then marked an escape route in Saria's field of vision:

"While Rhine Lab's security capabilities are indeed quite impressive, they are not invincible in your presence."

Su Rui showed a somewhat secluded escape route, which even passed through a laboratory and a corridor that seemed to be rarely used.

Of course, since Saria wasn't the only one who wanted to cause trouble at Rhine Lab, Su Rui also arranged an escape plan for Silence and Ptilopsis.

"Considering that the two of them don't have much actual combat power, I have another plan. Fortunately, with you and Ifrit around, Silence and Ptilopsis won't be the main targets, so this matter is easier for them."

As Su Rui spoke, she revealed her entire plan to escape separately.

But Saria had some doubts about the plan. "Why are you so sure that Mayer will be with them too?"

"Because I have a more suitable arrangement."

Su Rui casually remarked, then showed Rhodes Island:

"Don't worry, I'll definitely arrange for you to meet up later. There's something else you might be interested in: that Big Cat who was wrongfully imprisoned. Anyway, I'll also arrange to get Big Cat out of jail while I'm at it."

"Okay, I understand."

Saria nodded, carefully examined Su Rui's plan, and after confirming that there were no obvious problems, Saria decisively began to act.

When the elevator arrived at the underground parking garage, Saria pulled Ifrit directly to her car. Ifrit asked with some confusion, "Saria, where are we going? If we're going out, we should tell Silence first, otherwise she'll worry."

Saria glanced at the chat messages between Silence and the Ptilopsis that Su Rui had shown her, then reached out and patted Ifrit's head:

"Don't worry, they won't be concerned, and they'll catch up with us soon."

"Are we being chased?" Although Ifrit was still a young girl, she still had basic judgment.

"No, don't worry, we'll be safe."

Faced with Saria's perfunctory attitude, Ifrit couldn't help but purse her lips, while Su Rui was still explaining the situation to Saria:

"Although we set off earlier Silence and the others, and lacked time for logistical preparations, I have plenty of resources in my System Space, so I don't need to worry about going hungry on the way."

Saria nodded. Although they had arrived at the Rhine Lab building, their escape had only just begun.

Although Su Rui could cancel the alarms and trackers on Ifrit at any time, the people quickly realized something was wrong.

They weren't truly out of danger until Saria led Ifrit out of the city.

Now, the first danger is getting out of Rhine Lab ' industrial park. Whether Ifrit is taken away from Rhine Lab or Su Rui cancels the tracking device signal on her, it will attract the attention of the monitors.

Therefore, the escape must begin at the gate of Rhine Lab's industrial park.

Volume 4, Chapter 199: Playing

"Are you ready? Once you drive the car out of the industrial park, Ifrit's locator will definitely alarm. Even if I block the signal, they won't be fooled for long. As long as Ifrit is missing for too long, they will definitely realize something is wrong."

Su Rui whispered a reminder in Saria's ear. Although no one else could hear Su Rui speaking in Saria's mind, Su Rui lowered her voice to match the atmosphere, as if she was worried that others would overhear the conversation.

"Um."

Saria nodded slightly, glancing at Ifrit in the back seat through the rearview mirror out of the corner of her eye. The little girl had already lay down on the back seat and covered herself with a blanket so that the security personnel wouldn't be able to spot her so easily.

Given Saria's status, the security personnel wouldn't thoroughly inspect Saria car, thus completing the first step.

Soon, Saria's car stopped at the entrance of the industrial park, and security personnel came forward to check it.

Saria slowly rolled down the car window, glanced at the security personnel, and was about to take out her ID card when she saw the person quickly wave her hand:

"No need, Director Saria, you can go directly there."

As he spoke, the security personnel waved to the sentry next to them, and then the barrier blocking the car's path rose up, allowing the security personnel to watch as Saria drove her SUV away from Rhine Lab's industrial park.

Although somewhat puzzled, she asked, "Why did Director Saria leave so early today? She usually leaves in the evening."

"Why are you so concerned? She's a director. Why don't you check her car more carefully?"

"If even the head of the defense department is unreliable, then what use are we to Rhine Lab?"

The security guards at the post joked with each other and returned to their posts.

Saria is a very responsible person, so she's quite popular among the security personnel.

Su Rui even used their equipment and cameras to record this scene and then showed it to Saria:

"You seem to have a lot of prestige?"

"I'm just doing what I'm supposed to do."

Saria offered a nonchalant explanation, but under Su Rui's praise and the visual presentation, she couldn't help but reveal a barely perceptible smile.

"Being able to do your job well is already quite an achievement; most organizations are just makeshift operations."

As Su Rui said this, she simultaneously marked the situation directly in Saria's field of vision, making it as easy to see as if it were displayed on the car window.

"I've already turned off Ifrit's tracker. Their surveillance equipment has also been hacked. The system isn't alarming, and it still shows that Ifrit hasn't left, but is wandering around in the open space of Rhine Lab ' industrial park."

Such a signal could mislead those at Rhine Lab for a while, but at most a day or two... right? After all, the experiment is about to begin.

After driving away from the industrial park, Saria quickly increased her speed. "Shall we just drive straight to that newly built prison as you requested?"

"Of course, don't worry. I've already arranged your identity and Ifrit's identity, so there's no need to worry."

The personnel changes weren't entirely decided by the staff at Mansfield State Prison, and the matter wouldn't be directly reviewed by higher-ups. Therefore, Su Rui had many opportunities to manipulate things and could easily help Saria obtain an identity.

After all, even if it's nominally a prison, Mansfield State Prison is still a mobile facility, and aside from the prison guards, a mobile facility still needs logistics.

Saria was assigned to be a prison guard, while Ifrit, citing her status as a single parent with a child, was placed in the prison's residential area, where she only needed to read and do homework in a special classroom.

As Saria drove towards the exit of the Mobile City, Su Rui also displayed the footage recorded by the camera of Rhine Lab:

"Speaking of which, Rhine Lab has quite a lot of cameras in specific locations. Are they afraid of not being able to record evidence of their crimes?"

While watching the farce unfolding on the screen with Saria, Su Rui asked with some confusion.

"Recording experimental data and procedures is also very important." Saria glanced at the experimenters who were about to start their experiment but had not yet found Saria.

Although Silence and Ptilopsis were considered members of the experimental group, they were unaware of the truth behind the experiment. Therefore, after learning that they didn't know Ifrit's whereabouts and only that she had been taken away by Saria, those people stopped paying attention to them.

"Where exactly is that experiment question? Contact the monitoring room and have them check its location!"

"What? The experiment is almost here! Isn't Director Saria taking the experimental questions out for a walk just increasing our workload? You, and you two, go and tell Director Saria to bring the experimental questions back! What are you standing there for? Hurry up!"

So, Su Rui and Saria watched as the Rhine Lab security personnel frantically searched for Saria and Ifrit.

In reality, Saria had already driven with Ifrit in the back seat to the exit of the Mobile City of Trimounts.

Ifrit had already sat up from the back seat. After all, Rhine Lab's informants weren't that powerful. Su Rui controlled the information in the network world, so even if the camera was shining on Ifrit, no one could see her.

Although Su Rui actually hid Saria's location as well... In any case, in this escape situation, seeing that the other party is so far behind you is still easy to relax and feel at ease.

After a short while, the security personnel finally lost their patience and sent more people to the location to search for Saria and Ifrit.

Su Rui even deliberately controlled the positioning beacon to run around the industrial park and play hide-and-seek with those people.

It wasn't until an hour or two later, when the "big shots" who had come to observe the experiment grew impatient and began questioning them, that they finally discovered that Saria's phone was unreachable and that the beacon had actually been a hoax.

"We've been tricked! This beacon isn't located at Director Saria's or the test subject's location at all. Someone has hacked into our system and is controlling the beacon, making it run around aimlessly!"

Sure enough, they realized something was wrong.

Volume 4, Chapter 200: Su Rui: I'm Not Afraid

As the security personnel at Anshe noticed something was amiss, Su Rui simply took control of the computers in front of the "big shots" waiting in the Rhine Lab Security Department's monitoring room and the laboratory. He then displayed a large, laughing face and taunted them directly.

"That's it? I've already taken your experimental questions. You big shots must be furious, right? But there's nothing you can do about it~ Aren't you angry? But I was very happy at the time~"

The security guards were furious and started cursing, but their reaction wasn't really that important. After all, Su Rui was more concerned about the ashen faces of those so-called "big shots."

Su Rui even edited their expressions together and showed them to Saria.

"Kristen's acting wasn't very good; she almost burst out laughing. It's only because those guys are in a bad mood right now that she's been caught."

As Su Rui said this, she gave a close-up shot of the three days of consideration. The blonde Perro suppressed a laugh, shifted her gaze to the side, and then quickly became expressionless before looking at the "big shots" and indicating that Rhine Lab would handle the matter.

At this moment, Saria had already lined up in front of the security personnel at the city's entrance and exit.

After a brief inspection, the off-road vehicle was driven into the wilderness, and Saria began driving towards another Mobile City, following the route given by Su Rui.

Although she didn't know whether the Mansfield prison plot that Su Rui mentioned would actually be the destination for rest and recuperation, Saria still knew the approximate location of the Mobile City that was the current destination.

Therefore, she did not question Su Rui's plan. She simply thought that if the Mansfield State Prison that Su Rui mentioned did not dock at the Mobile City as planned, she could continue to evade Rhine Lab's pursuit with Ifrit, or go to Rhodes Island.

Furthermore, while waiting in line on the bus, Saria also used her phone to search for information about Rhodes Island.

Despite being overwhelmed by all sorts of junk information, this didn't stop Saria from concluding, through her own judgment, that Rhodes Island was indeed a place worth trying.

Incidentally, even if Saria used her phone to search, Su Rui could have controlled what she saw, but there was no need. Considering Saria's trust and other factors, Su Rui did nothing and simply watched silently.

Even now, with the car driven into the wilderness and nothing to worry about for the time being, Saria still couldn't stop thinking.

After repeatedly confirming that everything was alright on her end, she turned her attention to Silence and the others:

"Silence and the others are alright, aren't they?"

"Of course not." They hadn't even gone far from the Mobile City yet, and Su Rui immediately showed the images recorded by his Scanning Vision.

"My face-to-face taunting attracted a lot of attention, so those people just assumed it was you and me who planned it, and didn't suspect Silence or Ptilopsis. They even assigned them tasks... Now it seems they've left early, since there are no more test subjects, so they're just making some adjustments for now."

In the footage shown by Su Rui, Silence and the Ptilopsis begin their home shopping plan.

According to the plan provided by Su Rui, they didn't actually need to escape. This was the best-case scenario: they weren't suspected, they could resign normally, and then find an opportunity to infiltrate Mansfield State Prison like Ifrit Saria.

Saria paused for a moment, then asked in surprise:

"Are you deliberately mocking them to get their attention?"

She actually did something so embarrassing to cover for Silence and the others. I never expected Su Rui to be such an understanding person.

Saria's opinion of Su Rui rose considerably, and then she heard Su Rui's voice:

"No, I just wanted to see those people get furious after being mocked. Unfortunately, most of them didn't react as I expected. The big shots only looked a little grim... I was actually hoping they'd sweep everything off the table."

"..." Saria's lips twitched, but she ultimately said nothing, only gripping the steering wheel tightly and glancing at Silence, Ptilopsis, and Mayer from time to time.

Su Rui's reaction inevitably gave Saria a certain opinion. She glanced subtly at Ifrit through the rearview mirror; Ifrit had already fallen asleep from looking at the monotonous scenery outside due to the SUV's movement.

Does Su Rui's personality, mindset, and even some aspects make her seem more immature than Ifrit?

In that situation, Ifrit would only be thinking about escaping as quickly as possible, not about staying to mock her.

However, Saria didn't say it aloud, feeling that given Su Rui's personality, she would definitely refute her from a different angle.

... Traveling in the wilderness, having someone to accompany you seems like a very nice thing.

A smile involuntarily crept onto Saria's lips.

At this moment, in the video shown by Su Rui, Silence and Ptilopsis had prepared the necessary supplies on Su Rui's list and were also ready to set off.

For safety, Mayer also brought along the Meebo (robot dogs) used in combat, along with the others.

Saria, looking at the scene before her, also thought of a question:

"How did you convince Mayer?"

"Mayer? While her conditions at Rhine Lab are decent, she's not exactly valued, is she? Rhodes Island would be a better fit for her, which is why I recommended her. Besides, Rhodes Island offers better laboratories."

Saria glanced at the size of Rhodes Island shown by Su Rui and remained silent for a moment:

"According to your description, Rhodes Island is a Landship carrying many patients and also has a considerable number of employees, right? In that case, the interior space should be quite crowded. Will Mayer's laboratory really get approved?"

"No problem. Rhodes Island is special, after all, that place is... well, it's very special. There's definitely no shortage of space, it's just a matter of how to use it. If Mayer wants a decent lab, that's fine, but a really large one probably won't work."

Su Rui made this conclusion, and Saria had a new question, "Are you so sure Rhodes Island will do as you say?"
