Reunited with an Old Friend / Is This Really Just a Greeting?
After all, according to the booklet, Infected can be guaranteed safety for at least six months after injection, so the standard testing period should start at least six months.
However, considering that Logos said the Reunion Movement was basically using this kind of drug, Rhodes Island felt much more at ease.
Back in her office, Kal'tsit opened her work computer, which listed a huge number of things that required her signature and arrangements.
These were all things Theresa used to handle, but before Amiya had grown up, they all fell on her shoulders.
According to recent records, a medical team from Karaton should be arriving at Rhodes Island in the next few days.
The beacon in the hands of that team indicated that the other side was only a dozen kilometers away from Rhodes Island, and it seemed they would arrive tomorrow.
After glancing at the messages, she focused her attention on the newly popped-up content.
Suika, whether it was because they were getting closer to Rhodes Island or because they were about to arrive Rhodes Island, everyone was sleeping exceptionally soundly.
When the three little ones woke up in the early morning, they saw Suika sitting by a pot, in which fresh meat soup was simmering, with some wild vegetables floating on top.
Most importantly, there was a cup of hot honey water in the glass next to it.
These honeycombs were found by the Little Suika while they were playing around last night.
They immediately told Suika, and based on the principle of "everyone who sees it gets a share, "Suika reluctantly extracted one-third of the honey from the honeycomb.
Although neither the queen bee nor the colony was willing and put up a fierce resistance, they were ultimately outmatched by the bees.
The bee colony had no choice but to accept this reality in humiliation.
That's why the three little ones can have this delicious honey water to drink in the morning.
After breakfast, the group set off again for Rhodes Island.
"Wow!" Rhodes Island, standing prominently on the plain, was easily spotted even from a distance. Suika and her group could see the enormous landship.
Compared to Mobile City, a land-based vessel is indeed small, but that is a city, and people's expectations of the two are different.
So even though they had witnessed the grandeur of Karaton, everyone still exclaimed in awe upon seeing Rhodes Island.
"Don't be fooled by the fact that we can see Rhodes Island now; it's still at least five kilometers away."
Let's hurry up and go, so we can at least have lunch when we get to Rhodes Island!
Suika's words cheered everyone up, and the four of them continued walking towards Rhodes Island.
The commotion was also noticed by those in the watchtower.
"Report to control room: A group has appeared to the west of our ship. Based on observation, it consists of four children, one adult and three children. They are heading towards our ship. Please provide further instructions..."
Chapter 141 Reunion with an Old Friend
At this time, aboard the Rhodes Island main ship...
Central control room
On the bridge
Amiya was standing in the middle, and next to her were Outcast and Logos.
Outcast is teaching Amiya management skills and how a qualified leader should handle the various situations that arise in her life.
As a former cardinal, her experience is undoubtedly a valuable asset to our inexperienced leader Amiya.
Upon hearing the message from above, Outcast didn't speak. Instead, he smiled at Amiya, winked, and let her handle this trivial matter.
Amiya frantically asked the people below...
"Has the other party's identity been verified?"
"A signal was received from the identifier carried by the other party."
We can confirm that the enemy is a force from Caraton, Gaodoting Duchy Karaton, under Victoria.
"Karaton, Karaton, got it."
Half a month later, Karaton sent a message to the main ship, saying that he would entrust a Catastrophe Messenger to escort three critically Infected children to the Rhodes Island main ship for further treatment.
They arrived about a day earlier than expected... The number of four people has been confirmed, two men and two women, so it should be correct.
"Hmm, according to the operational regulations, shouldn't we send someone to pick them up?"
The screen in front of Amiya kept popping up with various messages, and she proceeded step by step in an orderly manner according to the steps Outcast had taught her.
After confirming that the person was not an enemy, Amiya turned to Outcast and asked cautiously.
"Amiya, you can be even braver."
As the leader of Rhodes Island, you are responsible for guiding Rhodes Island in accordance with His Highness's wishes. Therefore, you should understand that these matters should be judged by yourself.
Don't worry, Logos, Kal'tsit, and everyone from Rhodes Island are standing behind you to protect you.
Trusting one's own judgment is the most important thing for a decision-maker.
Just think about what she would do when His Highness is around...
Outcast reached out and pressed Amiya's head down, her eyes filled with tenderness and a hint of heartache.
Amiya is too young. She should be at the age where she can be carefree in school with other children, but instead she has to learn the most boring management science in the Control Room with these old folks.
At this moment, Logos stared intently at the footage captured by the remote camera on the screen, and he recognized Suika, who was leading the group.
To everyone's surprise, the Catastrophe Messenger dispatched by Karaton this time was actually her.
Thinking of the trauma he suffered in Little Hill County, his expression twisted involuntarily.
"I'll go!"
The sudden opening of the logos surprised both Amiya and Outcast.
This person is very easy to talk to when they are with acquaintances, but is quite aloof to outsiders.
Moreover, given his formidable strength, he rarely takes on such "harmless" missions voluntarily.
This time, he not only volunteered, but his tone was also noticeably off.
outcast raised an eyebrow
"Acquaintance?"
Logos's lips twitched, and he said through gritted teeth.
"We're so familiar with it... so familiar that I've been thinking about it day and night for so long!"
"But..." Amiya twisted her hands, unsure whether she should agree to Logos's suggestion.
After all, using Logos to pick up people is no different from using a city cannon to kill a mosquito.
"Let Mr. Logos go. After all, he's been here for so long, it's good for him to stretch his muscles," Outcast said softly, patting Amiya's head.
"Alright then!" Amiya nodded to Logos, agreeing to his suggestion. The next second, Logos vanished into nothingness in the Control Room.
After he left, Amiya looked at Outcast and asked...
"Didn't you say before that Rhodes Island currently has very few operators, so you try to put every resource into the most suitable position for them?"
"It's clearly a waste of Mr. Logos's talents to do this kind of thing."
Amiya was somewhat confused; the choices Outcast made conflicted with the knowledge she had been taught.
"Of course, the most basic skill for a leader is to put the right people in the right positions."
However, Amiya, people aren't machines; they have good and bad moods, and their states of being are high and low. We can't judge them according to a fixed standard.
Some things may seem absurd, but if they make the participants happy, then the effort will undoubtedly be twice as effective.
Like this time, one of those four people was clearly someone Logos knew, and they seemed to have a good relationship. His presence would save Rhodes Island a lot of tedious screening procedures.
Moreover, since it was his own initiative to apply, why wouldn't we be happy to assign him this position?
"But judging from Logos' tone, isn't the person he knows an enemy?"
"Of course not. If it were the enemy, Logos wouldn't say much; it would just warn you directly."
I hate you
After Outcast finished speaking, Amiya blinked, feeling like she understood a lot more.
On the other side, on the plains, Suika also sensed the gaze coming from the distant mobile fortress.
At such a distance, the person looks about the size of an ant to the naked eye, so the other party must have discovered our location through some kind of Originium Arts or equipment.
Suika wasn't worried about her group being discovered. She wasn't there to raid the widow's village at night; she was doing the right thing. In fact, she hoped Rhodes Island would discover them beforehand, so they could send a car to pick them up.
After all, given the opportunity to slack off, she didn't want to take an extra step.
However, as she got closer to Rhodes Island, she suddenly felt a little uneasy.
"Sister Suika, what's wrong?"
Whitemane, standing nearby, keenly noticed Suika's sudden furrowed brow and, thinking there was danger nearby, immediately pulled Mograine and Leite aside and cautiously moved them around.
Suika shivered. "I don't know, could it be because I ate too much this morning? Something feels off..."
Touching her stomach, Suika said she didn't know what was wrong, but she just felt a tingling sensation all over her body.
Just then, the ground beneath her feet suddenly softened, and she sank into it.
"PENG!" The next second, Suika suddenly exploded into dozens of Little Suika, looking around warily.
Undeterred by its failed attack, the opponent suddenly began to grow rapidly around Suika, transforming into ropes that wrapped around the Little Suika's bodies.
"Take this punch!" A Little Suika suddenly slammed down on a clump of weeds, but the moment it hit, the ground beneath the weeds turned into water and instantly submerged it.
Chapter 142 Was this just a greeting?
Faced with such a bizarre sight, the remaining Little Suika in the sky did not panic, but instead dispersed and used their respective methods to smash into the ground.
At the same time, countless Suika emerged from the void where they had just stood.
Half of the Little Suika that fell to the ground suddenly disappeared, while the other half, after cracking the ground beneath their feet, floated into the air again.
At that moment, a gust of wind blew in, trying to blow the Little Suika in the air down. However, the spellcaster did not expect that the Little Suika would simultaneously throw punches in the direction of the gust of wind, causing a gust of wind even stronger than their own to come back.
The fierce wind flattened the towering sea of grass, revealing the man inside.
"Li Gousheng, I knew it was you!"
Upon seeing the person who appeared, the Little Suika pounced on him, baring their teeth and claws.
The Stop the Gale Here.
"No Flight in the Sky."
As the Suika of Suika charged towards him, Logos calmly wielded his Bone Pen, and magical light appeared around him.
In an instant, the wind was raging one second, and the next second the wind and waves were completely calm.
The Little Suika in the sky landed on the ground and piled up into a small mountain, then, unconvinced, continued their charge.
"Though we are so close, it feels like we are worlds apart..." Logos' fingertips emitted a burst of bright golden magical light.
Under the light, the Little Suika appeared to be running non-stop, but they were actually standing still, unable to move forward an inch.
Upon seeing this, Logos's lips curled slightly. Although a sneak attack was unethical, making this guy look a little pathetic would make him feel a bit better.
Suddenly he frowned, because a pair of small hands had somehow landed on his ankles.
Earth Release: Heart-Slaying Decapitation Technique!
The Little Suika in the distance laughed and shouted in unison, while their hands suddenly pulled, and the logos disappeared from the spot in the next second.
However, a Little Suika soon emerged from the soil and looked around.
The other Suika also scattered instantly, searching for traces of Logos.
In the distance, within Rhodes Island, since there was no activity elsewhere, the remote monitoring cameras were consistently pointed in this direction.
Those in the Control Room witnessed the entire battle between Logos and Suika.
"Logos seems to be in danger, should we...?"
Seeing that Logos' attacks were repeatedly thwarted by the opponent, Amiya worried that Logos might be in danger and spoke to Outcast with concern.
"Danger? What danger?" Outcast watched the two fighting on screen with a smile.
Amiya pointed at the screen and looked at Outcast with a puzzled expression.
"When you look at this scene, you should not only look at the main battle, but also learn to observe the other elements within it."
Think about it carefully, is there anything in this shot that you find a bit off?
