Why is there such a quarrel...
Feeling the somewhat depressing atmosphere at the moment, Jiang Zhou thought this.
In his opinion, the argument between the two was unnecessary. After all, as Liao Qi, I already knew the general development of the whole matter from the outside.
You know, even the release of prisoners of war is just a condition of the agreement.
The reason why Icarus and Pluto were able to negotiate and reach an agreement was largely because the newly appointed Fanny came up with a plan that was temporarily acceptable to both parties.
As for the deeper reason - the company will replace Ye Qian, who has a direct and rough style, and choose Perse Fanny, who is willing to negotiate with them, to take over the work of the Nord Resettlement Area. This itself also shows to a certain extent that a change in their attitude.
This change in attitude can be said to be the value of united front that Icarus forged on his own.
From this point of view, the seemingly meaningless struggles and seemingly worthless sacrifices organized previously have actually achieved real results.
Not to mention, Booker and himself don't have other plans - around those two grams of antimatter, they are also trying to gain more chips that can be used to compete with the company.
It's just that I can't explain these things clearly to them.
Probably only after they leave Tartarus in the future and return to the Nord resettlement area can they understand the stakes...
"Let's not dwell on these things for the time being. After all, the information we have now is incomplete, and random thoughts can easily lead to misunderstandings."
Feeling helpless, Jiang Zhou finally had no choice but to smooth things over like this.
Hearing this, in addition to the two people who were arguing, other Icarus members at the scene also echoed.
However, even after being given the steps, the gloomy expression on 136's face did not disappear. He just stood up and said "sorry" to Jiang Zhou in a hurry, then turned around and strode out of the room.
From the beginning to the end, he never looked at Qianxia Ying again.
"136 What happened to him?"
Looking at the other person's leaving figure, Jiang Zhou couldn't help but curiously asked.
Whether it was Jiang Zhou's previous contact or Liao Qi's memory, Black Falcon-136 did not seem like someone who would say the kind of words he had before.
"The idiot is rushing to die. I don't care why he is crazy?"
Qianxia Ying's temper wasn't very good at the moment, and she left in the same rage after saying that.
However, her reaction was very consistent with Jiang Zhou or Liao Qi's impression of her.
Jiang Zhou had no choice but to turn his questioning eyes to the other people present.
When the others saw this, they exchanged looks with each other, as if they were reluctant to say anything.
After repeated questioning by Jiang Zhou, one of the more senior people in the organization finally spoke up:
"136 He may have a grudge against things like being captured and then being released back.
"In the past, he had a genetic brother who was also a member of Icarus. He was also a Black Falcon type, and his genetic serial number was 111. And his brother named Black Falcon-111 was captured by the resettlement area government. The ultimate betrayal of Icarus.”
…………
On the way back, Booker told Jiang Zhou about the past of the man named Black Falcon-111, the captain of the security center task force.
"Speaking of which, when this happened, I hadn't even joined Icarus...I only heard about these things later."
This sentence is Booker's opening statement.
In this day and age, people's attitude towards those born in incubators with natural adjustments is mostly quite unfriendly.
This is also a normal thing. Adjusters transformed through multi-purpose printers can be considered to have the same origin as humans.
Even though some of them have been highly modified, they can't make up a few ounces of flesh except for their brains, and they have no "human" characteristics at all in appearance. But people still comfort themselves that at least they had a full childhood, a time when they were human.
But for those who are naturally tuned, most people regard them as another species. And if their number increases, they are likely to pose a threat to current human society - just like Homo sapiens eliminated Neanderthals in the past.
And this fear reached its peak after they destroyed their creator, the scientific research organization called "Black Feather Gene Editing Studio".
Discrimination, persecution, and even massacre... It is ironic that the vast majority of people with natural adjustments are eventually rescued by major companies. Although those companies are essentially only interested in their technical value, compared to the blind witch-hunting fanaticism of the group, going to the company to be exploited and studied has become their choice to survive.
"Black Falcon-111 and 136, it was under this circumstance that they wandered underground in the Nord settlement area. Originally, they just wanted Icarus to hire them as thugs - just like the job they had been relying on for a living before. But at that time, they had just Koret, who became the team leader, overcame all objections to let them join Icarus and let them make their home here."
That guy always likes to do such unnecessary things.
When he said this, Booker's tone seemed to have a helpless feeling of nostalgia.
"What happened next?"
Jiang Zhou asked.
"Two natural adjusters equivalent to depth 2 level allowed Icarus to take a more direct approach on many things. In less than half a year, they became the deputy leaders of the action team - the key Knowing that at that time, people still generally did not trust the natural adjusters who came out of the incubator, allowing them to lead an operational force alone is already a sign of great trust."
If nothing else, the turning point will come next...
Jiang Zhou thought.
After all, when Liao Qi joined Icarus, 136 was just an ordinary member of the action team. Although he is senior in the organization, he does not hold any position.
There must be some reason for this.
Sure enough, when he said this, Booker sighed and said:
"I only found out about this after looking through the records... During an operation to sabotage the company's transactions with other gangs, the two Black Falcon brothers exposed their whereabouts and were surrounded by the security center task force who came after hearing the news. Yes, it's the one that surrounded you earlier, a special mobile unit set up by the resettlement area government to deal with the crimes committed by the adjusters.
"At that time, 111 stayed to cover the others who broke out and were captured. 136 almost lost half of their lives before they ran out. After learning that 111 was captured, the organization immediately began to use its connections to get him out. "
As one of the very few departments of the interim government in the resettlement area that has not been outsourced to companies, the Public Security Center is completely unable to maintain its own operations with only the government's modest allocations. Therefore, weapons smuggling, undertaking street mercenary missions, and prison ransom business have become ways for them to make money.
This is quite modest on the ground level, but on the ground floor like the underground level, it is basically a clearly priced business.
For a depth 2 adjuster, and a natural adjuster, the price offered by the other party will naturally be extremely expensive.
After all, there has never been a legal certainty as to whether people born with natural adjustments are subject to the death penalty abolition regulations. If it continues like this, maybe people will really be gone.
At that time, Corrett once again defied all opinions and chose to spend a lot of money to ransom people.
“But after finally sending the money to redeem him, 111 did not come back. He just sent a message to 136, saying that after careful consideration, he finally decided to leave Icarus and join the security center of the resettlement area government. And after that, the secret strongholds we had been operating on the negative level for several years were removed one after another, and until now, the negative level is still an intelligence blind spot."
Booker said.
"And now, as you can see, he has become the task force leader of the security center on the first floor... and he is also the only leader who has defected to the resettlement area government since the creation of Icarus."
I’ll try to double update as much as possible starting from tomorrow. I feel like I’m just too touchy...
