For the first time, Roboglier did not get the response he wanted from the crowd. Some people still stood there blankly, while others shook their heads unconsciously.
"That's a chelate, Mr. Robbeglier...Without the mercury needle, we have no chance of winning..."
"What depressing words are these!" Roboglier waved his hands, "It's not that the ship is not equipped with weapons, as long as we-"
"But that's chelate!" A young woman said again, "Mr. Roboglier, have you ever encountered chelate?"
Roboglier's throat moved and he didn't answer.
"I'm from the Third District. Everyone, I moved to the Nea Province in the Third District when I was eleven years old. Before that, I lived in Noin Wasteland, which fell in 46...4617." The woman looked back at the others, "I have seen chelates with my own eyes, and I swear they are real. They are not ordinary monsters. Ordinary bullets cannot hurt them at all, and they run very fast. They can only generate thousands of degrees of heat." Only intensive bombing with high-temperature shells is possible——"
"Quiet!" Robbeglier's eyebrows twisted in shame and annoyance, "Quiet! Quiet! It's not your turn here as a little girl to talk nonsense!"
Rico suddenly stood up.
Everyone looked at the silver-haired tall man belatedly, and an indescribable hope suddenly rose - the mercury needle just left, there is another mercury needle here, she saved more than 20 people yesterday afternoon. personal……
"I advise you to save your tongue, old man." Rico walked up to the old man, and she looked down into Roboglier's eyes. "They were just temporarily deceived by you, and they are not really stupid."
"Be respectful!" Bree also stood up, "Stay away from Mr. Robbeglier!"
Although Robbeglier was very annoyed, he did not want to offend the only mercury needle in front of him who seemed easy to get along with. He pushed Bree's arm away, "There is no need to make it so tense, Bree, Miss Rico obviously He is a trustworthy person——"
"It's 'Ms. Rico'." Rico said coldly, "Also, the source of funding for ahgas is announced every year. We basically do not accept long-term funding from the coalition government - except for a few cases, we will serve as mercenaries for them. , use money to do things. We can’t be labeled as tax thieves.”
Robbeglier took out his handkerchief and pressed it on his forehead, "I made the decision arbitrarily."
Rico turned around.
"What the mercury needle said just now may not sound good, but judging from the current situation, her arrangement is reasonable, but she did not take into account everyone's mood. Ordinary people really don't have much when facing chelates. The odds are stacked against us, but that doesn’t mean there’s nothing we can do.
"First of all, most chelates are not satisfied with straightforward killing. They are happy to play with their prey. We have observed that more than half of the chelates play with their victims before killing. This is the cruel part, but it is also the part that you escape. The best hope on the day of birth, how to use this time to send a distress message to the outside world, is what everyone needs to think carefully about next."
"In this case, we should quickly agree on a way to notify each other-"
"I don't recommend you do this."
"Why?"
Rico looked at the interrupter and said, "If you want to know, just listen to what I have to say."
It was quiet again.
"We do make some brief agreements during combat, but this is only within a stable combat team. Chelates are very keen in observing, and once they sense that there is some kind of communication rule between prey, they can easily take advantage of it. rules to create a more brutal killing war, so I suggest that even if you agree on a signal to notify each other, it is best not to cover too many people, especially not to disclose relevant information in public."
Not far away, most of the thorn monks looked a little more relaxed. In this critical moment, having one more person who can receive the signal would give them more hope of survival - and they happened to be a close team.
The monks looked into each other's eyes, and the danger suddenly gave birth to some unprecedented trust in their hearts.
Rico continued, "The last and most important thing: we should work hard to prevent ourselves from being infected by chelation disease, and never hide it after infection. Because chelates will retain part of the memory of life, so once they mutate, we will attack first It’s often the people closest to you that’s why I just said the signal shouldn’t cover too many people.
"I want to emphasize to you that infection is not the same as mutation. It would not be terrible even if all of us are infected with chelation disease. Before mutation, chelation disease was a very docile disease and it would not cause any serious harm to us. Qualitative harm will not harm the people around us, and it is almost not spread from person to person... Please go back and read the brochure provided by the captain for the specific details.
"These are all things for later. In short, at this stage, as long as you follow Ms. Chiba's advice and observe your own status in time, you can nip the danger in the bud."
Li Ge thought deeply and suddenly looked at Si Lei, "Do you have anything to add, Officer Si Lei?"
"Not yet."
"Wait..." A hesitant voice came from the crowd, "Doesn't that mean that we can't make any active preparations now and can only passively defend?"
"That's not necessarily the case." Si Lei whispered, "We can check the surveillance first, and maybe we can find some clues related to Dietrich's death."
"Ah, surveillance," Bree was startled, "By the way, there are surveillance cameras in many places on the ship. I don't know where Dietrich has been since noon today. There must be surveillance cameras that caught him - where is the surveillance camera? We You have to check the surveillance!"
"I asked Ms. Mantel to seal up all relevant data. I originally planned to transfer it directly to the police on the ground tonight, but now it seems that I really have to do it myself."
"How long will it take?" Rico asked.
"There are a lot of surveillance on the ship, but if the time can be accurate to before today's afternoon to seven o'clock in the evening, the workload should be much less... Let's bring a few people to work together. Checking the surveillance is physical work. Are there any volunteers?"
"Yes!" All the Thorn Monks raised their hands at the same time.
"You don't need so many, three are enough."
"Then that's the end of today's rally." Rico high-fived, "It's too late today, everyone should go back and rest as soon as possible. We will continue to meet at Bishop's Restaurant at nine o'clock tomorrow morning."
Hesta looked at everyone's worried faces and yawned uncontrollably.
She lowered her head and looked at her watch. It was just a little after nine o'clock now. If she wanted to keep her sobriety record, she would have to hold on for another three hours.
