Ark, after I died, the operators started to love me.

As Mike and the others parked their car at the tent they had set up by the roadside, the car following behind also stopped.

Mike sighed and walked straight toward the other party. He hadn't gone far when he saw the car window open, revealing half of the feathered serpent's body.

"Hello Mr. Mike, what a coincidence, we've run into each other here again."

Was this a chance encounter?

You call this a chance encounter?

You pervert, have you been following me all this way?

When Mike saw the feathered serpent, he felt a chill run down his spine. Sure enough, he saw Astronaut with the feathered serpent.

Mike was heartbroken. "Starry Night, how could you, such a good girl, associate with Feathered Serpent?"

These days, the only person who can fight to a draw with the feathered serpent is the head of the ecology department, Muirsay.

When Xingji saw Mike, he also looked nervous and stammered, "Mr. Mike, I..."

"Don't say anything more, I understand, it was a chance encounter, right?"

"Yes, it was a chance encounter."

With her blue face and red cheeks, it's really not easy for her to lie.

Just as Mike was about to ask something else, a person suddenly emerged from the other side of the car.

"I just heard your voice, Mr. Mike. Good evening."

Top Lawyer, but Desmond, Desmond.

You three are definitely in cahoots.

Mike's heart sank.

Needless to say, he's not feeling well at all right now, let alone tonight.

"Don't worry, Mr. Mike, this really is just a chance encounter. We won't interfere with your plans in any way. We can even help each other out on the road, can't we?"

Faced with the feathered serpent's meaningful smile, Mike couldn't think of any good words.

There was nothing he could do; he was being targeted again, this time by two of the most difficult people to deal with.

Xingji whispered, "Mr. Mike, would you mind if we pitched a tent together?"

"I need to discuss this with my friends; I can't agree to it right now."

Mike turned and left, his fleeing figure catching the eye of the three sisters. Feathered Serpent said softly, "Look at the way he's running away in such a sorry state, he looks just like a Perot."

Starry Night remained silent, still harboring some doubts. Although Feathered Serpent had assumed that Mike was the deceased Doctor, she still couldn't see any particular similarities between them.

After all, divination is not 100% reliable; it involves more psychological theories.

Quetzalcoatl couldn't help but laugh and said, "Never mind whether it is or not, let's just assume it is, and then find out that it isn't. Isn't that an interesting idea?"

"I agree."

Destle supported Quetzalcoatl's view. Since the two of them had already expressed their opinions, Astro couldn't say anything and simply nodded in agreement.

Anyway, the three of them were out having fun, but Shu used up all the vacation days she had saved up over the past few years.

In her own words, if she doesn't return by the deadline, then she should just consider it as her resignation. If she stays in Colombia, how can the Grand Knight lead those companies to conduct cross-border law enforcement in Colombia?

Destreet's do-or-die attitude made Xingji feel ashamed, and even now, she has not thought about resigning.

……

the other side.

Mike returned to the camp and immediately gathered his teammates to discuss the matter.

"Guys, I've run into some trouble."

28. Schaerrag's advertising campaign

"Are there robbers attacking from nearby?"

"No."

"Is a natural disaster caused by Originium crystals about to erupt?"

"No."

"We didn't make it to Sami in time, so this land is going to be destroyed?"

"Can't talk about it."

Dolly, the sheep lord who had asked three questions in a row, jumped off Adele's shoulder and floated in mid-air, saying in a tone that made Mike want to grab him and make lamb skewers, "Dear Mike, what exactly did you call us here for?"

Mike was annoyed. Anyone who didn't know better would think he was really that easy to talk to. But considering that the Lord of the Sheep was still useful, he decided not to argue with it for now.

“I’ve already found out that the car following us is from Kazimierz, and the members are Dante Destreet, Feathered Serpent Horhaya, and Astronomy.”

Mike paused here, then said, "As for why they're following us, we can't be sure yet, but we can't rule out the possibility that they're looking for treasure."

After hearing Mike's description, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. It wasn't that his explanation was particularly brilliant, but rather that it was far-fetched.

Of all these people present, who was a greenhorn? Not a single one. They were seasoned veterans, well-versed in the troubles of this land.

Go find treasure? How could that be? For them, isn't you the greatest treasure?

"So you mean they discovered your identity and decided to come along?"

Dolly's words revealed the secret, and the others present thought it made sense, but Mike thought it was very unreasonable.

He had only exchanged a few words with Astronaut and Feathered Serpent, so how did he get exposed?

Chongyue asked, "Are they coming over to pitch their tents?"

Mike nodded: "Yes."

Chongyue then asked, "So what are you thinking?"

Before Mike could speak, Adele suddenly said, "Then let them come over. This is the middle of nowhere, and it would be troublesome if they encountered wild animals. Besides, Miss Dester, Miss Astro, and Miss Holya were Rhodes Island operators before."

Xiao Yang's words drew nods of approval from several people, even the usually taciturn Director An agreed that it was the right decision.

Yelena, bewildered, looked at the group and suddenly remembered that the three people had also set up camp nearby, meaning she would be surrounded by Rhodes Island operators.

Seeing that White Carter looked confused, Phantom walked over to her and whispered, "Miss Yelena may not know this, but Mr. Mike in front of you is the doctor from Rhodes Island. However, this secret cannot be told to anyone else. Only those of us who are on missions can know it."

Is Mike the doctor from Rhode Island?

That doctor didn't die?

He's actually still alive?

God!

Yelena's gaze towards Mike instantly changed. She immediately understood why this team consisted entirely of Rhodes Island Pharmaceuticals agents, and why there were three others following behind them.

Mike said dejectedly, "This is a long story, and it can't be explained in a few words. You just need to know that I'm doing something great."

Yelena didn't know how great he was, but she did know one thing: this man had deceived far too many people.

"Do you know that you have done something terrible?"

"I know, but I have no choice."

"You actually say you have no choice in the matter?"

Mike frankly stated, "How many people on this land can do whatever they want?"

……

With everyone's unanimous agreement, Horhaya and the other two successfully pitched their tents next to the convoy, adding a touch of energy to the team.

Mike clearly noticed that Feathered Serpent was constantly glancing at him out of the corner of his eye, as if trying to get some answer from him.

As for the conversations within the team, it was decided to keep them a secret from the three of them for the time being, but only he himself knew how effective the secrecy would be.

Desty, who was naturally good at communication, quickly became a confidante in the team.

"So, your next destination is also the Sami Icefield?"

Adele's eyes widened, revealing a curious expression, like a middle school student who hadn't seen much of the world.

Although Eyjafjalla is now old enough to be considered a mature woman, in the eyes of most operators, she is still a child.

Just like among the Durinians of Rhodes Island, Myrtle was clearly capable of serving as a general, but she was instead treasured by a certain Lupo woman who loved the Durinians.

"Yes, we happen to be going the same way."

Daisy pointed at Xingji, who dared not speak, and said, "She is going to the Ice Plains to collect more scientific research information. Miss Horhaya wants to understand her past. As for me, I am going on vacation. The pressure of work in the Great Knight Territory is too great. It is a novel experience to occasionally see the icy and snowy world."

Upon hearing this reply, Mike really wanted to say something: if you want to see the beauty of ice and snow, there is actually another good place to go, and that is Sherag, which is free from natural disasters and exudes an ancient atmosphere.

I've heard that after the reforms, under SilverAsh's management, Sherag has become increasingly open. Karan Trade even produced a short tourism video for promotion. As for how effective it will be, it's hard to say.

A railway was laid on the road to Sherag, and the train went all the way to the foot of the holy mountain. It is said that SilverAsh spent a lot of money on this. Unfortunately, neither of his two sisters appeared in the film. Mike thought that at least the Saintess would be the ambassador.

Now Kjerag has truly become a cheese snow leopard.

As the group was talking, Mike suddenly noticed that the feathered serpent was very close to him.

Holhaya's lips curled up slightly, as if she had discovered something interesting.

Seeing that it was almost time, Mike called out, "Let's start making dinner. After you eat, get some rest. We still have to travel tomorrow."

"We're here to help too. We've prepared a lot of food and water in our car to share with everyone."

As Destreet spoke, she took out some snacks. Compared to Chongyue, who was adept at military strategy, the top lawyer knew better how to add some lubrication to life. She even magically produced a board game of Ludo.

“Our vehicle has solar panels and two batteries, so we don’t need to worry about electricity.”

Nothing is more exciting than a thrilling game after a meal.

Everyone was eager to try, and Mike couldn't very well stop them, especially since he himself was enjoying it.

Even if my identity is exposed.

Never mind, didn't he lose enough already?

Instead of struggling, it's better to lie down.
