Man in the Ark: Revitalizing Kazdel

"I believe Your Excellency the Archon should be quite clear about the origins of the Haisi."

"Well, that huge ruin located under the earth's crust..." Helatia nodded slightly. Most of the technology that Agor currently possesses, which is far ahead of its time, was excavated from the ruins.

While Agor was accepting the gifts of ancient civilization, Pandora's box was also opened.

"Yes, that's the laboratory for a bioengineering project of the Prehistoric Civilization. Haisi wasn't originally aggressive, but someone secretly modified the project's objectives."

"Since then, exhausting all possibilities in the universe, consuming all material energy, and evolving into the ultimate creature has become the ultimate goal of the Haisi horde. Not only the ocean, but also the land, the starry sky, and even the entire planet are all targets of Haisi's devouring."

"So what method do you plan to use to stop this infinitely evolving monster?" Helatia was very curious whether the land country of Kazdel possessed some unknown technology.

"This disaster will end the same way it began. Kazdel has already dispatched professionals to the core area of ​​the Deep Blue Tree Laboratory to try to correct the deviation..."

"That ruin has become the sea god's lair. This mission is extremely dangerous. How many people have you sent?"

"Sorry, we have no comment on this." Kal'tsit shook her head and refused to answer the question.

After all, the doctor can easily enter the depths of the laboratory directly as the project leader.

Agor was not yet aware that there were survivors of the destroyed prehistoric civilization.

"So what kind of help does Kazdel want Agor to provide for your mission?"

"Even after the goal is corrected, Poseidon may not be willing to obey orders. The project has been out of maintenance for a long time, and it may have developed independent thinking."

"Oh, so Ms. Kel'tsit hopes that after the mission fails, Agor will send troops to support and rescue your people?"

"No, it's that we are both hunting down the out-of-control sea god together."

......

Deep within the Deep Blue Tree Laboratory, a mysterious hooded figure was stopped outside a heavy, special steel door. He looked down at the biometric verification device, which emitted a mysterious blue light, and raised his index finger.

The sharp needle pierces the skin, accompanied by a slight tingling sensation. A few drops of fresh blood are absorbed by the device and compared with the genes in the database.

"Verification passed! Doctor, welcome back." The energetic girl's voice sounded in the silent space. It should be the exclusive voice that Schoolmate Lu specially prepared for the doctor.

"Puff..." The heavy steel door slowly opened with a few slight deflation sounds. The floor-to-ceiling windows of unknown material bore the terrifying pressure from the deep sea, separating the sea water from the air.

A three-branched pale tentacle pressed against the French window, and the huge outline of the dark blue tree was faintly visible in the dim light.

The thick pipes carrying energy were covered in luminescent algae, extending deep into the magma-flowing trench. The faint light from the algae shone into the room through the floor-to-ceiling windows. At the intersection of light and shadow, a familiar-looking device came into view.

"That's... the sarcophagus..." Hard-soled boots thudded against the alloy floor. Approaching within half a meter, the doctor spotted a pitch-black mass leaning against the sarcophagus. He had been hiding in the shadows, so he hadn't noticed it.

"It seems to be a dormant creature..." The doctor crouched down slightly and cast a spell to investigate the unknown object. Based on the faint heartbeat, he determined it was some kind of creature.

"Is it Hai Si? But it doesn't feel right... Let's control it first." The doctor didn't dwell on it too much and decisively cast a spell to bind the thing tightly.

The moment the magic thread touched the mysterious creature's skin, which was as smooth as crude oil, a pair of deep blue eyes suddenly opened, hiding a bit of human confusion and bewilderment in their eyes.

When it realized that an uninvited guest had broken in and its torso and limbs were bound by the other party, all its confusion and bewilderment turned into vigilance and anger.

"Buzz, buzz, buzz!" A high-pitched hum emanated from the mysterious creature's mouthparts, its slender limbs struggling frantically. A terrifying burst of force instantly severed the magical threads that bound the enraged Wendigo.

The doctor frowned at this and simply replaced the silk thread with chains to fix the mysterious creature's limbs. Only then did the doctor see that it was a humanoid creature with a high level of intelligence.

You can easily see its anger just from its eyes filled with hatred.

"Leave...there...don't get close...to her..." The doctor managed to piece together a complete sentence from the fragmented syllables uttered by the humanoid monster.

"It's actually the language of an ancient civilization..." The doctor realized that this creature was most likely Lu's guardian beast and tried to communicate with it.

"Hello, I am a compatriot of Lu, and I have no ill intentions this time," the doctor slightly loosened the chains that bound his limbs and raised his hands to show goodwill.

"Her compatriots... can't possibly..."

"They...all disappeared...in that disaster."

"Here...it's just me and her..."

"Then everything I did... counts?"

The humanoid creature held his head and muttered repeatedly, his tone full of disbelief, obviously unable to accept this reality.

"Not only me, but others as well, are waiting for Lu's return. I came here this time to wake her up."

"No... Lu can't wake up anymore. Maintaining the status quo is the best outcome..."

Perhaps because he was gradually becoming familiar with speaking, the humanoid creature could now speak a complete sentence.

"Why? Is there something wrong with her body?" The doctor walked towards the cold sarcophagus, woke up the system operation panel, and checked the user's status.

As for the humanoid creature, after making sure it would not attack him, the doctor removed the restraints.

"When the disaster struck, Lu insisted on going out alone to inspect the submarine cables in order to protect the laboratory facilities from serious damage. Unfortunately, he was hit in the spine by a huge rock."

"The sarcophagus repaired Lu's injuries, but her neural activity remains very low. Even if she is awakened from the sarcophagus, she may not regain consciousness."

"Can't the sarcophagus solve this problem?"

"Maybe, but too much time has passed and the energy is not enough."

"That'll be easy."
