Man in the Ark: Revitalizing Kazdel

"Your research on Oka has progressed to the stage of human experimentation. What results have you achieved?" Roy stared intently into Ksenia's eyes, ready to judge whether she was lying.

"We did conduct human trials. Unfortunately, I was marginalized and never had access to the core experimental data."

"However, I learned from core members that while Oka grants powerful abilities to the infected, it also accelerates their death. If they are not infected, Oka will cause them to contract Oripathy..."

As an external researcher, Ksenia didn't know much information; it was mostly hearsay, and she didn't consider it of much value.

“That’s enough. I’ve got the answer I wanted. Thank you, Miss Ksenia.” Roy nodded slightly; he was satisfied with the answer.

If you really want to understand Oka, you can just ask Precys and the Doctor. What he's really concerned about is Oka's impact on the Terrans.

It now appears that Oka is similar in nature to Originium. It is unknown whether anti-Originium disease medicine can cure Oka-induced Originium disease.

"Friends of Rhodes Island and Reunion, we have stayed here for too long. The army fleet will catch up soon. It is time to leave."

"Friends, shall we leave together?" Before regrouping the miners and setting off, Reljin extended an invitation to the Reunion team. In his view, since this team was willing to help the Infected, they were friends worth trying to win over.

“Our goal is to save as many innocent lives as possible from this disaster. If it’s on our way, traveling together would be a good option.” Roy stood up, briefly spoke with Relkin, and then turned to Ksenia to ask.

"Miss Ksenia, what are your plans?"

"I...I'll go with you. I guess we can't go back to the research institute. After this incident, I'll try to find a new job in Saint-Germain." Ksenia felt deeply lost about her future and could only take things one step at a time.

"If Miss Ksenia is willing, she can join Rhodes Island. Rhodes Island plans to establish a permanent branch in Ursus and plans to recruit some local operators. I think Miss Ksenia would be quite suitable."

Roy made full use of Kal'tsit's excellent tradition of rescuing people from all over the place, and recruited the confused Liberi to Rhodes Island, making him one of the members of the Ursus branch.

"I'll think about it and get back to you as soon as possible. Let's get going now." Ksenia didn't agree immediately, but quickly packed her things and followed the group of miners out of the research institute.

The miners, now in larger numbers, returned to the surface. A towering wall of high-speed warships steadily approached from the horizon, and blood-red warning lights stained the entire sky, making it hard to breathe.

"Boom! Boom! Boom..." The ship's cannons fired a salvo, and shells rained down all around, causing the ground to shake violently and making it impossible for people to stand.

"Damn it, the army has caught up." Relkin cursed under his breath, leading the miners in a desperate run. The mine entrance came into view; if they could hide inside, they would have a chance to survive.

Roy quickly assessed the situation, activated an anti-gravity spell, and lifted everyone to escape towards the mine entrance that Relkin pointed out. The density of the shells was still increasing, and Talulah swung her sword into the air, unleashing a fiery sword aura that blocked several shells out of thin air.

The black serpent crossed its arms, watching its chosen successor with keen interest, nodding in satisfaction from time to time. The Star Eater, shrouded in invisibility magic, tilted its head, observing these people, unable to understand why they were killing each other.

"Koschke, help me stop the shells, I don't have the energy for that." The urging voice reached the ears of the black snake watching the show. Roy was really annoyed by the black snake's leisurely way of watching the show, so he gave it something to do.

"Tch, I thought you were omnipotent." Black Snake replied casually, his eyes gleaming with amusement.

"Heh...Are you going to help or not?" Roy's tone carried a hint of threat.

"Hmph!" The black snake snorted coldly, and black and red magic surged out, accurately intercepting more than ten shells and covering the miners' team to successfully hide deep in the mine.
