Ding dong~ding dong~
Ding dong ding dong~
The doorbell rings.
Standing outside the door, Li Liang looked a little impatient, crossing his arms and looking around.
From the intelligence point of view, Professor Putnam lives here. As a world-leading biologist, it is reasonable for him to choose to live in Medina.
Not far from Seattle, this small town is home to many colleagues in the technology industry, such as Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos, etc.
Click.
The door opened and a girl stuck her head out and was stunned for a moment.
Li Liang raised his eyebrows because he and the girl said "You?" at the same time.
"Ho ho," Li Liang smiled, "Did the girl beat up that scumbag?"
The girl leaned on the threshold and said lazily, "No, don't mention it, who are you looking for~"
"Is Professor Putnam here?" Li Liang glanced at the room.
At this time.
A roar came from the living room "fuxk off! y dead body!"
"Hmm..." Li Liang shrugged, "Professor is in a bad mood?"
The girl held a piece of candy in her mouth and said vaguely, "No, um, um, it turns out that the "Li Liang" you are talking about is you two brothers. The idea is too crazy and my father can't agree to it."
"Ah, you are the professor's father?" Li Liang was a little surprised, "I can't see what you are paying back."
"Get out of here" the girl rolled her eyes.
Li Liang suddenly looked at the girl curiously and asked, "What are you eating?"
"fruit candy."
"What does it smell like?" Li Liang gestured to himself.
The girl was stunned for a moment, then smiled, took the candy out of her mouth and handed it over.
Li Liang took the candy and put it in his mouth, flicking the hard candy with his tongue. "Yes, it tastes like orange. Please tell Professor Putnam that change must be accompanied by sacrifice. In this world, we are the only ones who represent the future."
The girl sucked the residue between her fingers, the sweet taste was staring at Li Liang's mouth.
"No," Li Liang frowned, bit the candy and said, "See you later." After saying that, he turned around and took two steps, then suddenly turned back and said, "By the way, we are having dinner together at Altura at seven o'clock tonight."
The girl tilted her head and smiled, "Is this considered a date invitation?"
Just when Li Liang was about to speak, the sky suddenly turned dark.
It rained heavily.
With tears streaming down her face, the girl stood on the edge of the second floor, looking down at him and moving her mouth as if to say, "Live on."
boom!
There was a deafening sound of gunfire.
The girl slumped forward and fell down in front of him.
There was a rumble of thunder.
The burst of blood is filled with scarlet.
Li Liang trembled all over and suddenly opened his eyes.
"Boss?" K was wearing sunglasses, and his face was full of worry when he appeared in front of him.
Mizuno's gentle voice came from next to him, "Is Mr. Li Liang having a nightmare?"
Li Liang sat up and wiped his forehead with cold sweat and said hoarsely, "You are here."
The original dream.
When he came out of the secret warehouse, he successfully found Brother Shui and had woken up. Old Tang was tied up, and the shop owner borrowed the bracelet. He called Ex Machina and contacted Mizuno to tell her that he had found K and was coming to Donggu. District convergence.
Unexpectedly, while waiting, he actually fell asleep.
I was really tired from the whole day and night yesterday.
After rubbing the tingling pain, Li Liang recalled the dream just now. He found that the dream became extremely blurry when he was distracted for a moment. He only vaguely remembered a girl talking to him, and then it turned into a rainy day. He felt like It's like a roller coaster ride from easy to sad.
I slept like this last night, and what did I dream about today?
He had never done anything so strange before, the dream was for him, and it felt both familiar and strange.
"Drink some water." Old Tang came over and handed over a cup.
Li Liang thought for a while and then waved his hand and said, "Just wait a moment while I sleep for a while."
"..."
Everyone looked at each other.
Li Liang closed his clothes and huddled on the sofa, closing his eyes and trying to fall asleep.
There was a rustle and a whisper came
"Brother Shui, what happened?"
"have no idea."
"Hey, what's wrong with K being the boss?"
"roll."
"Oh...that's Miss Mizuno, where shall we leave in a moment?"
"airship."
Li Liang sat up and glared at Old Tang.
"..." Old Tang smiled dryly and made a zipper movement with his hand on his mouth.
After lying down again for a moment, Li Liang sat up again.
Couldn't sleep at all.
"Forget it, let's get down to business first." He rubbed the back of his neck, looked at K, and frowned, "Are you injured?"
K's right hand was wrapped with gauze and he lowered his head and lit a cigarette. "The small thing is that I made some gestures with Zhuosi and the gunman last night."
"Spade raided Zhuos last night. The airship was." Mizuno glanced at K. "It was a risky move."
Brother Shui and Old Tang looked at each other. No wonder there were Zhuos in Donggu District last night. There were not many gunmen.
Li Liang stood up and was a little annoyed, "You, your mission is to create chaos, but safety is the most important thing."
K exhaled a puff of smoke, "A firefight is just a gang fight, but it's just Zhuos. The weapons are very advanced..."
"Weapons, the matter can be solved." Li Liang took out the map of Zhongjing from his backpack, unfolded it and said to Mizuno, "Take a look."
He pointed at Xicheng District and drew the circle, "Where is this?"
Mizuno raised his ears, moved his hair closer, blinked his eyes, and said in confusion, "This..."
Brother Shui, Old Tang and K gathered around.
K pulled down his sunglasses and said in surprise, "Weapons base? This location is..."
The four people almost said "Ex Machina" in unison.
"Huh?" Li Liang was stunned and looked down at the location. Sure enough, they told her that it looked like Ex Machina. The location was marked "Wangfu Street" on the map, in the middle.
Since he had never gone deep into Ichiban Street, he naturally didn't know that locals like Mizuno and Brother Shui knew that Ex Machina was nothing more than Old Tang, but it was a bit unreasonable for a poor guy like Old Tang to recognize him.
"Tsk, she's definitely Ex Machina," Old Tang hummed, "I pass by her often."
"変すぎる...Zhongjing in this map..." Mizuno's hair fell behind his ears and his eyes quickly moved around the map, "Most of them are factories."
"What do these black and white lines mean?" Brother Shui asked, pointing to the map.
Li Liang casually said, "Subway."
"What about the subway?" The four people asked and looked at her.
"It's just the subway..." Li Liang pursed his lips and said, "Well... it's possible to use the train through tunnels dug underground."
Old Tang nodded and asked again, "What's the train? A fire, a train?"
"..."
Li Liang's reaction was that due to the sharp decrease in population, urban traffic pressure was far less than in "ancient times" such as subways and trains, and the concept had long since disappeared.
Although before the nuclear war, the world in this era was described in history books as backward, war-torn, and barbaric, the civilization exploration stage was full of speculation and conjecture, and various ideological theories were directly summarized as civilization was on the verge of extinction. The inducement was that only the Twin Gods and Xi'an can bring unity and peace, but some popular science books have only briefly described that before nuclear war, common technologies were difficult to find.
The few people in front of me are two gang bosses, a bun seller, and a professional psychic killer. It is estimated that none of them have gone to the library to read history books.
"In ancient times, rail transit was" too troublesome to explain. Li Liang simply summed it up by saying, "The map shows that there should be some tunnels under Beijing."
"It's impossible, it's Mr. Li Liang," Mizuno said seriously, "And if there is a weapons base in Ex Machina, there's no way I wouldn't know about it."
Old Tang also nodded in agreement, "I used to repair pipelines, but there were only two pipeline systems in the entire Zhongjing underground."
"You'll know if you go and have a look."
Li Liang smiled.
There are far more secrets in Zhongjing than you think.
