Man in the Ark: Revitalizing Kazdel

Chapter 390: Rely on each other and weather the darkness together

"On the edge of the Terra continent, there are some mysterious and dangerous areas. The ice fields north of Ursus and Sami, and the wastelands north of the Great Yan Sai, are entrenched in terrifying inhuman creatures—evil demons and monsters."

"The Foehn Land south of Sargon was created during the war between the King of Kings and the Nightmare Khan. The purpose was to contain the demonic invasion within a special space and protect Terra's safety."

Theresa leaned in Roy's arms, holding his fingers, and listened quietly to the secrets of this land that were unknown to most people.

The legends of the King of Kings and the Nightmare Khan were also recorded in the oral histories passed down through the royal court. A hundred years ago, Theresa had specifically consulted the relevant literature.

She had heard from Teacher Niecile's recollections that the Foehn Land was the result of a war between two kings. The reason behind this was to prevent the demonic invasion.

"The nations of Terra not only face the threat of Originium disasters, but also the erosion of demons lurking in the shadows. However, the threat from the depths of the ocean also requires urgent attention..."

Roy paused for a moment, a wave of emotion filling his heart. Haisi truly possessed boundless potential, but unfortunately, under Agor's masterful manipulation, he had completely lost control.

If we can find those Poseidon Firstborns or the Deep Blue Tree Project leader, Lu, and convince them to expand into space, such as to Saturn II, the threat of the Sea Heirs facing Agor and Iberia might be resolved.

"Is it a sea monster in the coastal area?" Theresa asked softly when she saw Roy pause in his story.

"Yes, there is a mysterious country deep under the sea, Agor. By excavating ruins, they have mastered extremely advanced technology and established a glorious underwater civilization."

"The former Golden Country, Iberia, received technical support from the Agors and built a powerful naval fleet."

As the fleet sailed towards the depths of the ocean, a sudden 'Great Silence' destroyed most of Iberia's cities. The land became uncultivable, and the sea no longer produced edible fish.

"A nationwide famine has begun. The cause of this is a creature called the Sea Si. They possess almost unlimited evolutionary abilities and are learning human civilization..."

"If left unchecked, a brutal war will erupt between the Haisi tribe and the Terran mainland. Their unlimited ability to evolve means they will quickly adapt to our attack methods."

"The resources of the entire land will become nutrients for the evolution of the Sea Si. Therefore, I must work with Agor and Iberia to resolve the threat posed by the Sea Si to the land before this happens."

"Theresa, forgive me for keeping this secret from you. You should have foreseen the catastrophe sweeping across the land from the very existence of civilization. We are running out of time..."

"Kazdel cannot do without your leadership, and I will, as before, clear the threats ahead for you." Having said this, Roy hugged Theresa tightly in his arms, resting his chin on her shoulder, his tone filled with fatigue and relief after the confession.

He had naively believed that his own strength was enough to solve the problems of this land. However, the more he learned, the clearer it became that individual ability had its limits.

The world is vast, dreams are even greater, and we are small. Now we must unite all forces we can to resist the coming disaster.

But at times like these, just relax, lean on your trusted lover, and enjoy the peace of the moment.

"You've worked hard. If you're tired, take a rest. My side will always be your place of rest. If we ultimately fail and can't resist the invasion of darkness, then we can sleep together at the end of all things..."

Theresa's tone was low and gentle, and she tilted her head to look at Roy's face. Their fingers were tightly intertwined, sharing the warmth of their palms.

"Theresa, there's one more thing about the Doctor. You should be aware of the recent situation of the Rhodes Island ship."

"Well, Kal'tsit wrote to me and said that the PRTS system has experienced an irreparable malfunction. Many intelligent devices have lost control, and everyone must evacuate the ship."

"But why don't you choose to shut down the PRTS system and then try to repair it? This is how I solved the problem of the hatch before." Theresa tilted her head and asked in confusion.

For Theresa, who lacks knowledge of modern engineering, the most common way to deal with faulty equipment is to cut off the power, hit it hard, and then restart it.

If she's lucky, she can fix it in one go. If she fails, she'll try again a few times—this is her approach to repairing things.

"...Well, the hatch and the PRTS system are somewhat different." Roy was amused by Theresa's simple idea. "The PRTS system, and even the entire Rhodes Island, are products of a previous civilization. Disabling the PRTS isn't as easy as we thought."

"The Doctor and Kel'tsit should know how to shut down the system. They chose to retreat. What are they considering?"

Theresa knew that Rhodes Island was a magical ship, but she had never had the opportunity to delve into its secrets.

"Well, deep within Rhodes Island, there's another sleeper. She's the Doctor's colleague, and they're very close in private. The anomaly in the PRTS system is a sign that she's about to awaken."

"It's the Doctor's colleague. What kind of person could he be?" Theresa was intrigued by this soon-to-awaken colleague. The Doctor's appearance had already brought so many surprises to this land, and she was looking forward to more changes.

"Her attitude towards Terran civilization is completely different from the Doctor's. After waking up, she may become an enemy of Terran civilization."

"Could they become an enemy of Terran civilization? Then there's still a chance for negotiation. What do the Doctor and Kal'tsit say?"

Theresa frowned slightly when she heard this. After all, he was the doctor's colleague. She should be more familiar with his character and perhaps she could use this to prepare a battle plan to wake up her colleague.

With the doctor's shrewd mind, he can surely figure out a way to turn an enemy into a friend. One more friend is always better than one more enemy.

"The doctor wants to have a debate with that colleague to prove the potential of Terran civilization."

"As expected of a doctor, you always love this land."

"As for Kal'tsit, her idea is quite radical. She wants to prevent the awakening of her colleagues and nip the crisis in the bud."

"This...this is unlike her. Kel'tsit, who is usually calm and wise, would actually make such a decision."

"Well, maybe it's because of something. I heard from the doctor that Kel'tsit didn't have a good impression of that colleague."

Roy began to imagine in his mind the scene of Kal'tsit with that cat face, breathing on Precious, and the smile on the corner of his mouth could not be hidden at all.

"what are you laughing at?"

"Nothing, I just thought of something happy."
