Meyer took the gun and carefully re-holstered it.
"I asked you out today. I originally hoped to get Agnes to come out and meet you," Meyer said softly, "but I couldn't convince her, so I didn't call you again..."
"What do you want us to meet for?"
"To eliminate some... misunderstandings," Meyer whispered, "We had good intentions at the beginning, and you also have good intentions today. Good intentions should not be tense against good intentions... so I want you to meet."
"Actually, I'm quite curious. Since you are followers of Robbeglier, why did you take the initiative to give information to Sleito? She, Robbe and those thorn monks are not going to deal with it in the first place."
"Believers?" Meyer was startled, "Ah, please... don't talk about us like that, it sounds like some strange cult."
"...Then what should I call you?"
"Survivalists," Meyer said softly, "We are survivalists, and our team led by Mr. Robbeglier is part of the 'Doomsday Resistance Organization'."
"...Doomsday?" Hesta repeated the word in a low voice.
"Sooner or later, the blackout era will happen again, and the apocalypse will definitely happen again. Everything we are doing now is to preserve the fire of civilization," Meyer looked at Hesta. When talking about this topic, her eyes suddenly Becoming calm and firm, "We do not believe in Mr. Roboglier personally. Although he is a respectable pioneer, we will point out when he makes mistakes - for example, Egger pointed out last night Mr. Robbeglier’s misunderstanding of ‘chelate’.”
"Well..." Hesta said thoughtfully, "You haven't answered my original question yet."
Meyer showed a troubled expression. She put her hands behind her back and hooked her index fingers tightly together.
"Is it difficult to answer?" Hesta asked.
"It's a little hard to talk because it's not just about me... I didn't ask Iger if I could talk."
"Then just tell me what you think?"
"Sometimes... we hate the Thorn Monks. They are a group of hypocrites, but they really deceived many people..."
Meyer's face turned slightly red again. When she said this, she realized that she was chewing someone's tongue behind their back, which suddenly aroused her sense of shame.
"In addition, Mr. Roboglier has probably never really faced chelation, and he doesn't understand what it means... I think it would be better for everyone if Officer Si Lei knew more," Meyer paused for a moment, "We should cooperate instead of falling apart before we know who our opponent is..."
Hesta stared seriously into Meyer's eyes, and from these dark green eyes, she read a more determined will than Agnes.
Before leaving, Meyer suddenly remembered something. She leaned over and whispered in Hesta's ear, "By the way, don't go out tonight."
"……Why?"
"I don't know, but that's what Iger told me."
"okay, thank you."
Watching Meyer go away, Rico looked back at Hesta, "...I originally thought Agnes was the more troublesome one."
Hesta frowned slightly - she felt exactly the same as Rico.
"Agnes's violent reaction at least means that the opponent deserves to argue..." - and Meyer talks about these topics as matter of factly as saying "the sun will rise again."
"But I understand when she says they are 'survivalists,'" Rico pushed Hesta back. "There are quite a few such people in District 12. I have dealt with some of them."
"What are they like?"
"Most people firmly believe that the Mother City will collapse one day." Rico shrugged lightly. "After all the technical support relying on the Mother City is interrupted, society will collapse again and enter a 'second power outage.' And their goal Just prepare in advance and stock up on food and guns...Engineers and doctors are especially popular among these people."
"No wonder, I said where did Robbeglier suddenly get so many weapons? It turns out that's what he does." Hesta understood, "I underestimated him. I thought he just wanted to build a fortress for himself. Be a king.”
"District 12 is relatively chaotic, so there are quite a few such teams. Basically every three or five villages have an armed force that pursues 'survivalism'. They usually help the villagers with tasks such as patrolling and building some Fortifications... The villagers provide them with some material support and share intelligence. When bandits come to rob, these survivalist teams will go into battle and train themselves in actual combat. In terms of combat effectiveness alone, the ones I have come into contact with Several teams are very capable."
In the distance, several thorn monks were smoking in the lee of the deck. They had also changed into uniform pullovers. At this moment, the two of them were hunching their necks to borrow fire, and the rifles were carried loosely behind their backs like a decorative satchel.
Hesta looked back, "...I don't think many people on this ship have that kind of ability."
"What a coincidence," Rico smiled, "I think so too."
…
"Zero, what time is it now?"
"Six to five."
Anna took off her blindfold and said, "...I took a nap for too long. Why didn't you wake me up earlier?"
"You talked too much this morning," Zero looked at Anna, "You should rest more."
Ana leaned on the recliner for a while, holding her forehead, and began to look around.
"Are you looking for Meishkin? He went out in the afternoon."
Anna's mouth sank slightly, "Don't let it walk outside tonight, little kitten, you don't understand anything..."
"Then I'll go get it back now."
"Okay," Anna nodded, "Did it see anything interesting this afternoon?"
Zero sat quietly, his eyes unfocused for a moment.
"Gobelin talked to two people in the afternoon, both of which lasted more than half an hour."
Ana turned her head and looked over, "Which two people?"
"Sanders Rand and Agnes Dinonhyard."
"Sanders..." Anna thought about it. The name sounded slightly familiar, but it didn't seem so familiar after thinking about it. "I seem to have heard it somewhere?"
"He is Avinash's subordinate."
Anna immediately recalled that on the day of boarding the ship, there was a crew member who was asked by Hesta for his identity, and that person was exactly that name.
"Where's that Agnes...who is she?"
"A girl who has been receiving education supported by Robbeglier. She just obtained the general mechanic qualification certificate at the beginning of this year, and then responded to Robbeglier's trip to the 14th District." Zero was silent for a moment, " That night, when I went back to the suite to get the blanket, I ran into her sister Meyer."
Anna listened casually, "Ordinary mechanics...the passing rate for this exam is quite low, isn't it?"
“This year’s pass rate is 6%.”
