Man in the Ark: Revitalizing Kazdel

Theresa glanced at the few remaining goods on the shelves and said with a smile, "It seems that Longmen's goods are very popular in Kazdel. I wonder if you have any plans for long-term cooperation?"

"Your Highness, you have to ask the big boss who hired us. We buy all our goods from him." The team leader didn't know whether the other party saw through him. Faced with Theresa's proposal for cooperation, the team leader could only leave this question to Madam Wen Yue and Lord Wei.

He was just a messenger, and the cooperation between the two countries was not something he could decide.

“In that case, once I’ve finished the things at hand, I’ll go visit your boss in person. Please give your boss a letter on your return trip, telling him that Kazdel is looking forward to working with Lungmen.” After saying this, Theresa turned and left, leaving only the team leader with a solemn expression.

The team member who was telling the story just now stood up and came over, whispering in his ear: "Captain, what should we do next? Should we continue the mission or retreat immediately?"

"Retreat? Retreat is impossible. The guy didn't drive us away directly, which has made his attitude clear. We don't have to keep worrying, as our action has been exposed. The mission continues, and we must find a way to contact our brothers outside the city and say hello to them." The team leader waved his hand and let out a long sigh.

He felt like he had just walked through the gates of hell, and his underwear was soaked with sweat. Although the other party spoke in a gentle tone and behaved elegantly, without the posture of a demon king, the invisible pressure still made the captain almost breathless.

Especially after Roy, who was suspected to be the second demon king, asked, "Did Wei Yanwu send you here?", he felt his heartbeat pause for a few seconds, and then it began to beat wildly and uncontrollably.

"Mrs. Wen Yue, after this mission is over, I want to apply for retirement. If I keep working like this, I will be scared to death sooner or later." The team leader covered his slightly aching heart and began to think about how to submit his retirement application to his boss.

......

"Roy, you seem to know something about Longmen. Have you been there before?" Theresa, who had left the Longmen caravan stall, turned her head slightly to look at Roy and asked curiously.

"Well, before I took the initiative to find you, I spent some time traveling around the countries of Terra."

"The Doctor and Kal'tsit were once like you. Have you ever met them?"

"No, my travel time was relatively short. I just took a brief look at the local customs and then rushed back to Kazdel to help you."

"Do you have any plans to set off again?" Theresa was worried that Roy would leave, so she subconsciously held his arm tightly.

"No, at most I'll go out for a trip and relax when I'm free, and even if I go, I'll go with you." Roy patted Theresa's hand to reassure her.

"Hehe...then let's go to Longmen as our first stop."

"it is good."

......

The Rhodes Island Land Cruiser dock was extremely busy today. Many operators received notifications from the PRTS terminal as soon as they opened their eyes in the morning.

"Because the landship suffered irreparable damage in the last war, Her Highness Theresa decided that Rhodes Island will go to Rembilt for repairs. All the crew members on board who received this notice are requested to pack up their personal belongings and leave the landship from now on and move to the mobile city."

Many people were reluctant to leave the dormitories they had lived in day and night, but they had no choice but to pack their luggage as quickly as possible. Large lifting platforms were constantly taking off and landing, unloading the luggage of the operators and sending a large amount of supplies to the storage room.

Rhodes Island only retained the most basic personnel configuration for this voyage, but the medical department was fully staffed and a large number of medical equipment were prepared.

The staff of the engineering department were busy checking the condition of the ship's guns on the upper deck. The last time the main gun was fired at full power, it caused huge damage to the hull.

In order to solve the problem of recoil, Klushier worked tirelessly and conducted painstaking research, and finally designed the best shock-absorbing device currently available.

She was very confident this time that Rhodes Island could definitely withstand less than five rounds of bombardment and would not fall into a dangerous situation where it could not move.

The Doctor and Kal'tsit kept silent about the problems that had occurred in the PRTS system and the core area of Rhodes Island. However, since the Doctor personally entered that area to deal with it, the abnormal alarm has never appeared again.

Since it can still be used now, Lucille didn't bother with the PRTS issue.

Mud Rock was also on the list of people leaving the ship this time. She didn't have much luggage, so she simply packed it into a bag and took it away. In comparison, Mary's luggage was more complicated, as there were many fragile items in it that were not easy to pack directly.

It was then up to Muddy Rock to make a move. She put on the gloves Roy had given her and made a simple four-wheeled trailer. Muddy Rock asked Mary to put all the luggage on it and tow the trailer, which was more convenient.

"Captain, it seems that Mr. Roy's guidance to you is very effective. Do you have anything to express your gratitude?" Mary nudged Mudstone's waist with her elbow and teased with a smile on her face.

"What do you mean?" Mudstone tilted her head, her eyes filled with clear confusion. She had no idea what Mary was saying.

"Just ask if you have any gift for Mr. Roy. After all, you have received so much care from him."

"Gift? I don't know... I've never thought about this question..." Mudstone lowered her head, looking at the silver gloves on her hands, frowning slightly, and she began to think about what gift Roy would like.

"Then Captain, you have to hurry up. There is no other teacher as good as Mr. Roy in Kazdel." Mary was trying her best to remind Mudstone. She hoped that the captain could seize the opportunity.

......

On the other side, W was struggling with one thing at this time. That was whether she should tell Hedley and Inès about her participation in this operation.

In principle, she shouldn't reveal the mission to anyone, but she's used to working with two people. Now it's her turn to go on a mission alone, and she feels uneasy.

It's like a young man who is about to leave his parents and enter the society alone.

"Knock, knock, knock..." The rhythmic knocking on the door interrupted W's thoughts.

"Who is it? I'm busy." W stood up, opened the door, and shouted with an unhappy look on his face.

"Hey...W, I haven't seen you for a while, but your mouth still stinks." Ines, who was wearing combat uniform outside the door, was no longer surprised by W's behavior, but she still couldn't help but complain about W.

"Okay, Inès. We are here to help, not to quarrel." Hedley, who was also wearing combat uniform, acted as a peacemaker as usual.

"Hedley? Inès? Why are you here?" W was so frightened by the sudden appearance of the two that his voice became much higher.

"Hedley was worried about your safety, so he dragged me along." Inès turned her head and said with a pout.

"Um... the situation is similar to what Ines said. Let me explain it." Hedley took Ines' hand and pushed the door open and walked in.

Hedley and Inès were actually non-staff members of Babel Tower, and Theresa gave them the right to freely choose their missions. So Hedley became a teacher on weekdays, Inès worked as a helper in a store, and only W stayed in Rhodes Island to train and take missions.

After W was notified to attend the combat meeting yesterday, Hedley had been asking about the content of the meeting, and it was Manfred who finally revealed it to him secretly.

He was worried about W, so he went to Ines to discuss whether to participate in this operation. Although Ines said that W was already able to take charge, she still changed into combat uniform and followed Hedley.

Hedley was still talking when he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his foot. He looked down and found that Inès had "accidentally" stepped on Hedley's foot with the heel of her high-heeled combat boots.

"Oops, I accidentally stepped on you. I'm so sorry." Inès calmly withdrew her foot as if she had just noticed this.

"Hehe... It's okay. Anyway, this is the current situation. We will participate in this operation together as a team." Hedley's rough fingers secretly stroked Ines' hand, causing Ines' ears to turn slightly red.

"Hedley, Inès...thank you." W lowered his head and opened his arms to hug the two people in front of him tightly.
