Ark: The Cycle of Light and Darkness

"Alexander? Oh...I remembered this name……"

The scholar just thought for a moment, then smiled and said:"It seems that the unknown friend behind me should have seen my... um... similar kind, right?"

"I don’t have to answer your questions…and you have to answer mine.

There was no emotion in the voice of the person behind him:"Your employer has already taken people away, and I have knocked down the guard at the door... You are a smart man, you should understand what I mean.""

"But...since you have seen what happened before, how can you conclude that I will definitely compromise with you in order to survive? The scholar said calmly:"When my 'employer' met me for the first time, he put more than a dozen guns to my head and didn't let me compromise with him, right?""

"Because he needs you to live, and whether you are alive or dead, it makes no difference to me."

Before the scholar could react, the man continued:"You want to live to complete your research, so you can't die so cowardly. But the information I want to get is not so important that I can put your life and death on that end of the scale."

"……Or, you can also try to see if the 'thing' implanted in your arm can really control the surrounding creations and help you turn defeat into victory."

The scholar trembled. This was the first time he felt that things seemed to be out of his control. He took a deep breath, and then sighed slowly. Levi used his slightly trembling hands to move himself He took off his glasses and wiped them lightly

"It is true that my 'trump card' seems to have been seen through by you - and I do have a reason not to die for the time being."

"Very good, although smart people never live long, smart people who are obedient are always lovable."Levi's eyes narrowed, and the face covered by the sand and dust mask seemed to be slightly curved.

"Let's just... talk about it"

————Dividing line————

The journey to our destination went surprisingly smoothly.

Under the advice of four operators who claimed to be from"Rhode Island", the Rainbow Team protected more than fifty ore patients and Dr. Miyaro to the Rhode Island safe house in the town.

Because of Levi, Rainbow Team had been to this place before - even though they failed to enter in the end, the design style, which was like a military protection project, still left a deep impression on Rainbow Team.

It is indeed much better there than the unprotected bungalows in the patient community.

Along the way, the four of them also gained a deeper understanding of the background of this world from the four operators: Ranger, Black, Razer and Franka.

"It's actually a gun that can be driven without the skill of Origin Stone. If possible, I really want to use it to study it."

Razer looked at Blitz's weapon with some envy. During the latter's demonstration, she could immediately understand how much impact this kind of blunderbuss, which does not require Originium technology at all, would cause if placed in this world of Terra. The shock.

This is a technology that can instantly arm untrained civilians into a combat-effective army!

"I want to do it too...but it's not realistic."

Kuz said with a wry smile:"We have made a lot of attempts, but they all ended in failure... Now even the supply of bullets will be a problem, let alone imitation of our weapons."

"Why? Are etched bullets unusable?"This is Franca who is leaning aside.

"Yes... Although I don't know how the bullets in this world work, the firearms in our world, uh, the 'guns' in your mouth, do not use 'Origin Technology' as power."

Alexander, who was standing aside and listening silently, slowly said:"The specific principle is more complicated to explain. If you must use an analogy, you can imagine our weapon as an alternative type of 'crossbow' that relies on mechanical drive. look."

At this time, the ranger came from not far away.

"Everyone, good news... Although the safe house was attacked, fortunately there was no major damage. Only one of our guard operators was slightly injured, and Dr. Miyaro is already treating him."

The words of old man Safra cheered up the people in both teams.

"As you said before, there are usually supplies in the safe house, right?"

After the surprise, Ash was the first to react.

For Rainbow Team, the most critical issue is the ammunition issue that is about to become critical. The supplies that were transferred with the previous transfer have been almost consumed in the past six months. Just guns. It will last for a while if you take care of it, but once the bullets are used up, the gun will no longer be as useful as a fire stick.

"Well... As stated in the agreement, we will provide supplies for you to choose first."

The ranger nodded and said:"Follow me - but if it is as you said, your gun-making technology is very different from ours, then I'm afraid you shouldn't have too much hope."

"Hahaha, at this time, it’s better not to be picky."

Kuz smiled heartily:"If there is really no other way, let's get some cold weapons to use. It's better than using bare hands."

"Che, do you think you are Mr. Levi, who dares to face hundreds of mercenaries with a knife? Alexander slapped Kurtz, and then said with concern:"But...why hasn't Mr. Levi joined us yet?" Are you running into any trouble?"

"No trouble at all, just some personal matters to deal with."

The sudden sound from the shadows made several people tense up. However, the Rainbow Team relaxed after seeing the person coming, while the Rhode Island group had a strange expression.

Levi was smiling. He walked out, looked around, then shrugged and said:

"I have good news and bad news...which one do you want to hear first?"
