Chapter 88

Skadi eagerly raised her head to look at her former companion.

At this moment, she was no longer alone.

"Well, Zuo Jian means is, let's go to the capital of Victoria first. There are newspapers that can spread information throughout the country, as well as broadcasting stations and other broadcasting hubs. It's better to be there than wandering around like a headless fly."

"However—Mr. Left Hand seems to have a new idea now."

Laurentina lay on the bed and poked the tentacle beside her.

[Don't poke randomly.]

Zuo Jian sighed and stopped Laurentina's little trick.

Let's take a short rest today.

"Hmm? That doesn't sound like something you would say."

She was somewhat surprised that Zuo Jian, who had always been so diligent in planning his time, would actually say the word "rest."

[Laurentina, often when the first thing you think of when you open your eyes is what unfinished tasks you have, and this continues day after day, the pressure will eventually crush you.]

Like a mentor guiding a younger generation, Zuo Jian began to share some life lessons with her.

Therefore, we always need to find ways to adjust ourselves, rest, or relax. The reasons for resting and relaxing are mostly related to the small details of life.

[Or, when things have made progress to a certain stage, we should pause, either to celebrate how far we've come, or to look back and examine everything that has happened before.]

In short, you've found your companions, isn't that something to be happy about and celebrate?

After saying that, Zuo Jian transformed his tentacles into arms and placed them on Laurentina's head, casting a gentle gaze upon her.

"Yeah, that's true. Orca, you must be really tired lately, right?"

Laurentina, finding the other person's words to be very reasonable, stood up and looked at Skadi, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, and asked.

However, the latter seemed to be lost in thought, and only started to wake up after being called several times.

"Ah, yes! I'm listening."

"... Didn't you hear me?"

"No... I'm listening."

Skadi turned her head and responded to Laurentina very seriously.

However, she found it somewhat strange.

Previously, at this time every day, I would hear some strange, angry words.

Where did they go today...?

"Hmm, very good. In that case, let's set off!"

After saying that, Laurentina jumped off the bed and grabbed Skadi, heading towards the door.

"Ugh, what do you mean 'departure'... Are we going to fight?!"

Skadi turned her head, somewhat puzzled as the Shark suddenly fell down and grabbed her hand, looking rather flustered.

"Sodayo! Battle! The next battle is going to be very serious!"

Laurentina turned her head and looked at Skadi intently.

My team leader often tells me about clothing, etiquette, and other related knowledge.

Zuo Jian is another example; he seems to have a deeper understanding of clothing than the captain.

But the Orca... seems to have absolutely no concept of this.

Yes, what follows is going to be a tough battle!

However, Skadi probably doesn't need to pick anything special, after all, she's a girl as lovely as Laurentina.

Son...]

?!

Laurentina suddenly froze.

"Orca?"

[What's wrong?]

Laurentina careless.

Damn it, I completely forgot that Skadi was also a formidable enemy candidate...

However... however... she doesn't seem interested in Zuo Jian at all. No! She must not be interested in Zuo Jian.

Speaking of which, I do have some experience with matching clothes...

No, shut up.

[?]

Laurentina's face darkened, and she glared at the puzzled Zuo Jian with a dangerous look.

"You're not allowed to interrupt from now on."

[????]

The cold wind, carrying with it the unique ice shards of the ice field, swirled through the air.

An eerie atmosphere continued to spread throughout the area.

Abnormal.

Abnormal.

Some of them disappeared.

They've disappeared.

In that human nation... it's called... Victoria.

There, a strange, threatening aura emanated... yet it was also incredibly... coveted by them! And they could also sense the group of creatures from the Seaborn.

Should we give up? Should we stop?

No, this is an opportunity.

Bang!!!!

Another patrol team of Internal Guard detonated their own fragments.

The emperor here has noticed something amiss, and they are trying to strengthen their defenses.

No, there's still a chance.

Get rid of that strange aura

Devour that sweet scent!

There's still a chance.

... Similar auras can be found in three places on this land.

One is in a place that has disappeared, and the other is in a coastal area.

The latter is weaker than the former, but still difficult to handle.

There's one more place, and one more place.

It is much smaller, so much so that it is difficult to even feel.

It's a breakthrough point.

It's an opportunity.

Go and engage with that weakest part, and then gradually adapt until you are completely immune.

Yes, this is an opportunity.

That aura is... in a much farther place.

Find it! Infect it! Contaminate it! Adapt to it! Then nothing can stop them!

... Columbia.

"Ms. Amaya,"

"I regret to inform you that, after preliminary examination, we have decided to return this item to you."

"I thought that as one of Columbia's best biology experts, he wouldn't reject such an amazing product."

Amaya sat in the chair, looking at the old man with sparse white hair in front of her.

"Loken Williams."

"You've probably already consulted other experts, haven't you? Like the Imperial Laboratory in Ursus...?"

"I'm sorry they refuse to study this kind of thing."

Amaya sighed, then looked at Loken in front of her.

"I'm sorry, I also refuse."

"Although you see us as crazy, unfortunately, even madmen know what should be done and what shouldn't be done."

Loken took out a tightly wrapped tempered glass bottle and placed it on the table.

"Ms. Amaya, I don't know what your views are on humanity, but I don't want a failed, uncontrollable Catastrophes to be born in my laboratory..."

"Therefore, I am returning it to you, and I sincerely hope that you will not touch those things that you should never touch."

Amaya stared at the glass jar on the table, her pupils suddenly widening.

She looked into Loken's eyes, at this mad biologist who was pursuing his desired realm to achieve his goals, and he was looking at her with calm eyes.

"Are you really going to give it back to me?"

She picked up the jar, a fine layer of cold sweat trickling down her back.

The jar is transparent, and anyone can see the structure and contents inside at a glance.

Loken reached out and stroked the jar with a hint of regret.

"I regret that if I were a few years younger, I would certainly have accepted your kindness, but now, I have only one goal and cannot allow something beyond my control to distract me."

"... I see."

"Then I'll take 'it' with me."

Upon hearing this, Amaya immediately stood up.

Something's not right. Something's not right.

Something's wrong with Loken.

She quickened her pace, glancing at the tempered glass jar she was holding.

There was nothing inside.

There was nothing left when Loken handed it to him.

However, the other person looked at the empty jar with a disappointed expression...

Chapter Forty-Six, Doctor; This is the wisdom and eloquence of an adult!

"Based on the condition and wear of the land vehicle, we can offer around 3,000 Victorian currency, which is approximately 30,000 Lungmen Coins. If you think that's acceptable, you can sign here."

Inside the shop, the Victoria vendor, sporting her standard smile, handed a contract to the dark-haired girl in front of her.

"27,000 Lungmen Coins... that should be enough."

The Doctor estimated the large

He gave a rough estimate of the amount and then quickly glanced at the details of the paperwork.
