Man in the Ark: Revitalizing Kazdel

Chapter 313: Searching for "Anana"

"Beep, beep..." In the dim white laboratory, indicator lights of various equipment are constantly flashing, reflected in a pair of seeking eyes.

Kristen Wright, the founder and leader of Columbia's top elite scientific research company, Rhine Life, is hailed as a great genius across the ages.

With the help of military funds and connections, Christen continued the research left by her parents. As she expected, Rhine Life expanded rapidly, gradually involving research in related basic disciplines such as physics, chemistry, biology, environment, and Originium.

For Christen, the growth and development of Rhine's life is a great help in realizing her most stubborn wish buried deep in her heart. She intends to tear the sky apart.

“I don’t believe in all the rules I’m told.”

"I don't believe that humans can never penetrate the star pods, and I don't believe that the stars are only as small as we see them."

The thoughts in Kristen's mind are difficult for ordinary people to understand. People always classify them as a few meaningless ideas that come out of the minds of geniuses and are not worth investing resources in.

However, many times, it is these seemingly meaningless sparks that eventually ignite the flames of civilization.

Christen still remembers the scene of that day. Muirseth's manifold suddenly appeared in front of him, took his hand without saying anything, and told him everything he had seen.

The bright stars wrapped themselves in it, the blue planet named Terra was rotating under their feet, and the sun that brought warmth and light to the earth also illuminated the eternal twin moons.

In the same plane, there are other planets similar to Terra, but they seem to have died long ago, and are gray and silent.

She saw the real starry sky, revealing a deeply hidden corner of the land of Terra. She couldn't wait to run over to Christen to share it.

She knew that this was very important to Kristen. Exploring the world beyond the sky has always been Kristen's goal.

To Muirseth's surprise, Christen did not show any excitement, but smiled and listened quietly to Muirseth's story.

"I'm glad you had this experience. It seems there's one more person who understands what I'm looking for. I will definitely go see the world beyond the sky with my own eyes..."

After that, Saria returned to the Rhine Life headquarters with Roy's handwritten letter. Kristen found a quiet midnight and went to the research institute where her parents lived, turned on the desk lamp and read the letter.

The first part of the letter was a greeting to Christen herself, followed by persuasion for her to change her mind about destroying the barrier and choose the safer star gate plan instead. The letter also expressed her willingness to cooperate with Rhine Life to jointly explore the boundary between the earth and the sky.

At the end of the letter, the handwriting was thicker and bolder, as if with some respect, and it said: "If, hundreds or thousands of years from now, someone walks among the stars, people will praise her name - Christen Wright."

"The Sarkaz Demon King claims to be able to see the future. The content of the letter mentions what he saw about your future." When Saria handed the letter to her, the words of special reminder lingered in her ears.

Christen put down the letter, went to the window and looked up at the starry sky with a relieved smile on her face.

"Ding ding ding..." The smart terminal placed aside rang again, and the lit screen illuminated Christen's eyes.

Christen picked up the terminal to check. The message was from Muir Seth. The light green chat box read: "Christen, remember to attend the headquarters meeting at 3 pm. I will wait for you at the laboratory entrance in advance..."

"When did she change her profile picture?" Kristen's focus was not on the headquarters meeting at 3 pm, but on Muirseth's new profile picture.

In the picture, the elf girl has a youthful and energetic smile on her face. She raises her left hand and makes a "yeah" gesture, while her right hand intimately holds someone's arm.

Unfortunately, the camera didn't focus well, so I couldn't capture the man's appearance clearly. Judging from the shirts he was wearing, he and Muir Seth were wearing couple's clothes.

"Oh? Interesting..." Kristen raised her eyebrows, stood up and made herself a cup of instant coffee to wake herself up.

As a well-known high-intensity surfer of Rhine Life's major forums, Muirseth's profile picture change quickly caused a lot of discussion among the staff.

"Have you eaten all the new big melons?"

"Of course, I'm a famous melon eater..."

"Hey! Tell me, who is Director Muirseth's boyfriend? Do we know him?"

"I don't know, I can't really tell..."

"Is this an official announcement? Our Rhine Life's super popular director of ecology has a lover of his own."

Muirseth, who was tending to plants in the ecological park, would pick up the terminal from time to time to check. Every time he put it down, a happy smile would appear on the corner of his mouth.

......

The man who was being hotly discussed and speculated by the Rhine Life staff was now flying alone in the depths of the bone wasteland with a strange terrain.

The Originium crystal clusters left behind by the massive natural disaster were hundreds of meters high. The gathered Originium energy disturbed the movement of the atmosphere, intensifying the violent winds.

Based on the Melander Foundation's exploration and investigation records of the Bone Wasteland provided by the Tin Man, as well as the flow and distribution of Originium energy, Roy roughly locked onto an area.

The traces of the first Kazdel City had long since disappeared over the course of tens of thousands of years, leaving only a low-lying basin filled with Originium crystal clusters.

Roy tried to dig down, looking for the "Anana" that was once buried deep in the crystal cave under Kazdel, even if it was just a fragment...

Nothing... nothing... There is no crystal cave with Originium as its dome underground. Perhaps in the horrific natural disaster caused by the Far Drifters, all traces of "Anana" were ruthlessly wiped out.

"To be honest, I don't want to use the methods of the pardoners. But now it seems that this is the only choice..." Roy looked around and saw the source stone crystal clusters everywhere, which were the best materials for casting spells.

As for the most important sacrifice in the ceremony, it is the blood of Tikaz, the blood that first came into contact with the original source stone.

Roy is now a clone, and he needs to ask for a few drops of blood from the original body to summon the arrival of "Anana".
