When Hesta returned to dormitory 403, she happened to catch Liz coming out of her room.
"came back?"
"Um."
As soon as the two met each other, a complex emotion suddenly surged in their hearts - they suddenly felt a subtle sense of betrayal towards each other, so they invariably looked away from each other.
Hesta walked towards her room. When she opened the door, Liz suddenly called out to her.
"You just applied for your personal computer," Liz said softly, "What do you want to get? You can get it tonight or during the day tomorrow."
Hesta thought for a moment, "Then...tonight?"
"Okay, I'll take you there."
Along the way, Liz kept thinking about how to mention to Hesta that the base had suspended the investigation of Sean. However, until they came back again, Liz could not find a suitable entry point and could only watch Hesta holding her. computer back to the room.
Her mood was extremely complicated. In the afternoon, she followed Molly's suggestion to find Valenti, but Valenti asked her to come back in a few days. She recalled the night before yesterday that she had sworn to Hesta that he would protect her, but now she had to accept the fact that the investigation was suspended because of the citizens' demonstration.
Liz tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep at all.
In another room, Hesta was unaware of all this. After getting the computer, her attention was quickly attracted by this black square notebook that could be carried everywhere. After a while, she used the basic operations she had learned over the past half month to find the relevant search page, and using two-finger meditation, she entered the words "Hecla Wasteland".
Apart from a basic introduction to Hercule, most of the remaining search results revolve around the "Hercule Tragedy" - two years ago, the year the Gringoire brothers arrived at the base, a large area of Hercule Wasteland appeared. Chlorella infection.
As the chelates continue to emerge, the wind in the wasteland is like the breath of death, bringing continuous killings.
It was also during the Hekla tragedy that the mercury needles observed cooperative behavior between chelates for the first time. Although it was just a very immature bait + ambush combination, this kind of behavior was unique in the history of previous observations.
At the same time, also in the Hecla Wasteland, the Mercury Needles observed a chelate that had a survival time of 40 days - the previous chelate had a longest survival time of no more than 28 days.
All this suggests that chelates may have evolved behaviors, but the triggering conditions are not yet understood.
Hesta closed the pages and retyped the words "Brothers Hecla".
Sure enough, everything was as Chiba said. News related to the Gringoire brothers immediately appeared on the page. She browsed them one by one and quickly saw the deer hunting behavior that Chiba had mentioned to her.
The debate lasted for more than two months. This behavior aroused great controversy in Tan Yi at the time. Many people began to question whether the mercury needle team was composed of such inhumane and cruel wasteland survivors. , so how can Mercury Needle ensure the reliability and purity of its own team?
Many opinion leaders have also stood up and publicly called on children who have just left hell on earth not to hold them to the moral standards of a livable place. This is a kind of "civilized arrogance."
In the end, the AHgAs Medical Department and Tanyi City No. 1 Hospital jointly made a diagnosis, believing that the "Hecla Brothers" had experienced acute PTSD symptoms after experiencing the tragedy in the wasteland, so they did such a ridiculous thing.
In this way, this great discussion surrounding deer hunting has truly come to an end.
Among all the reports, only a blurry photo taken by a citizen of Tanyi showed the Gringoire brothers. From this, Hestad was truly convinced that the base's protection of new trainees was true - even though At the most heated moment, they did not disclose the names and appearances of the Hekla brothers to the public.
Hesta was shocked when she used a search engine for the first time. She seemed to have opened the door to a new world.
Compared with retrieving documents and newspapers in a vast library, the convenience of the engine is beyond imagination.
Out of curiosity, Hesta searched for Askia, the hometown that Liz had mentioned to her the day before yesterday.
Similar to Hekla, after the first entry for Askia's basic information, most of the remaining search results are about "The Tragedy of Askia".
Then she typed in "District 4 Katla City" (Tulan's hometown) and Sol Wasteland (Lego's hometown). Everyone's experiences are so similar - after the basic introduction of the city or the wasteland, there are entries about "the tragedy of so and so".
Among the above areas, only Katla City is a livable place. Therefore, after the first case of chelation disease, mercury needle intervention was very timely. Except for the more than twenty victims who were unfortunately directly killed by chelation, , the entire city's population of 110,000 was safe and sound.
Today's Katla City has been adjusted to an isolation zone for two years. After a period of isolation, the indigenous people have all moved to several other livable places and started their new lives again.
As for the two wastelands of Askia and Hecla, they almost all ended in total destruction.
AHgAs seems to have been working hard to establish an alarm system for residents in wasteland areas, but it seems to have had little effect. Whenever they find that a wasteland is invaded by chelation disease, it has often reached the stage of collective attack of chelation disease patients, and the mercury The only thing the needles can do is to do their best to find some survivors from these hells on earth, and then bring them back to a habitable place.
This is also the source of most newcomers to mercury needles.
All night, Hesta wandered in the details about this world, until she suddenly remembered a name. With doubts, she entered the three words "Volva" in the search box, and then clicked search.
Her expression slowly changed from tense and expectant to calm - the search results on the engine were all about the heroine of "The Dagger and the Sheath", a love story in District 14.
Hesta lowered her eyes, feeling a little tired at this moment. She glanced sideways at the clock and was shocked to realize that the time was already past one in the morning.
She got up to wash up, then fell on the bed, staring at the ceiling without saying a word until she fell asleep.
…
Early Sunday morning, Class D students inspected the area.
When Calvin woke up, he found that Sean had woken up early for the first time in a long time - he was sitting crookedly in front of the small table in the observation room, and the sound of turning books could be heard from time to time.
The sun is coming out from the west, Calvin thought to himself. He stood up, said hello to Sean, and then walked to the bathroom.
"Karl, please lend me your computer for a while." Sean said suddenly.
"No." Gal replied simply.
"Okay, I don't have to, you can help me search for something," Sean turned his head lazily, "Is that okay?"
Calvin looked at him, "What are you searching for?"
"Search for a name," Sean looked at him, "'Volva'."
