Tomorrow's Ark

Chapter 15: Captive Idol

Passing among the crowd, no one could recognize an Infected unless they look past the long sleeves covering his arm

He pull the hood up to cover his head.

It is another day in Lungmen. While Lappland and Meteorite went to work, Angelina woke up. After determining her condition, the boy instruct her to lie in bed until noon

Now that her Oripathy has stabilized, he could go out in search for Penguin Logistic

"But where do I find them?"

Within half an hour of searching, he was lost

The boy stopped in the middle of the street and look around. From Canon, he know they operate somewhere in the slum, but the exact location is not known

Penguin Logistic, known as P.L for short, is a delivery company in Arknights consisting of Messengers that could complete a variety of jobs, ranging from normal courier to armed escort. In the game they are also a faction working at Rhodes Island

They must be well known here in Lungmen. Surely he can find them if he starts asking around

"Penguin Logistic? You mean that gang full of trouble kids who mess with the Mafia here every weekends?"

"Stay away from them. They're a rowdy bunch, especially that Sankta menace!"

"Haven't heard that name since some poor folk's got his house destroyed for failing to pay the delivery fee. Fucking demon bull"

Unexpectedly, it came to this. 

What is this. He thought they're a legit corporation, but the people here treat them like some low class Yakuza instead. Did he miss something from reading the Wiki?

"I understand. By the way, do you know where their company is?"

Many shakes of their head later, the boy continued on along the street, feeling tired and burnt out after walking across half the slum, before he sat down in an empty street

''

He just check the neighborhood for information. According to them, the bar named "End of the Earth" does not exist in this city, this eliminating the only lead he got on them

"I don't even know at what point in the timeline I'm dropped in"

The boy stood up and mutter to himself

Understanding the plot and making a flowchart of events could help him plan out different course of action. At this point, the information gathered indicate two things

After asking around, the year is 1094. A year before, the Kazdel civil war has ended. According to the wiki, Doctor's disappearance last for three years until he was found

"Which means, aproximately speaking, I have about two years until Canon take place"

He tried to remember all the events that happeed in that time frame, but came up with blanks

"It doesn't matter. Things shouldn't change too drastically compared to the original timeline"

If the time is short, the ripple won't spread far. That's all he could content with right now

...

He notice the surroundings have changed when the boy went into deep thought. Without thinking, he had wandered into some dark alley

The scenery had changed. Different from the usual low-rise building and Infected people meandering around, the alley is occupied by a group of Lupo in grey suits
