"Are you Randall's right-hand man, or are you an abandoned experiment by Black Watch?"
Karen's eyes were full of doubts, and the little trust he had in Li Ang was gone.
However, Li Ang didn't care at all and replied calmly: "I advise you to keep this matter in your heart and don't let Alex know, otherwise you will know the consequences."
Karen's face suddenly turned cold: "I thought we would become friends."
Li Ang smiled and said: "Of course we are friends. The premise is that you must be obedient. Only in this way can I continue to protect you."
"By the way, I would like to remind you that Alex is actually dead. What you just saw was just a ball of viruses that can think independently."
"For your own safety, I suggest you listen to me."
However, Karen didn't believe these words: "You want to drive a wedge between me and Alex? There's no need. The moment I chose to betray him, we were already finished."
Li Ang didn't care whether she believed it or not: "Time will tell everything. Now go pack your things, Alex will pick us up soon."
The matter in front of him was too complicated and contained too many conspiracies. Karen felt that he could not control it and had no life to control it. She just wants to complete the Black Watch mission as soon as possible, and then find a place where no one knows her and continue living.
"Don't worry, I know the rules and I won't say anything."
After saying that, she turned around to pack her luggage.
Li Ang likes to deal with smart people like Karen, who can save a lot of unnecessary words.
If she can keep it up, Li Ang won't mind giving her a happy ending.
You know, in the original plot, Karen was killed by Alex in the elevator after discovering the truth, but she was not absorbed and assimilated in the end. It is probably because of some old feelings from the past.
Alex came back later than expected. He snatched an armored vehicle and assimilated the driver. On the way, he also cleared an infected nest that was about to become a large scale.
When I came back, I found that the atmosphere between Leon and Karen seemed wrong.
Was it a quarrel?
Alex was too lazy to pay attention to the two people's affairs and simply said: "It's time to go."
Li Ang helped hold it as a salute, and Karen didn't say anything when he saw it.
The three got into the armored vehicle and their destination was the East District a few kilometers away, where the virus had not yet spread.
Halfway through, Karen took the initiative to mention the topic of the virus.
It seemed like he was talking to Li Ang, but in fact he was mainly talking to Alex.
"I have learned something about the virus outbreak. There are currently two types of viruses in New York City."
"DX-1118A (red light) and DX-1118C (black light)."
"You must collect genetic samples of these two viruses so that I can help you analyze them and find ways to suppress and eliminate them."
Li Ang showed a very cooperative expression of surprise: "Great, I am finally saved!"
The two sang together and successfully deceived Alex: "Karen, do you really have a way to cure the infection?"
Karen replied cautiously: "There's no guarantee of success, but it's better than nothing."
Alex thought about this and said, "Count me in, where should the genetic samples be collected?"
Karen reminded: "There should be many infected lairs or rooftop water towers."
Alex kept the two positions in mind and continued to drive the armored vehicle silently.
As Black Watch gradually begins to take over the entire city, the people have become accustomed to military vehicles and will actively move out of the way.
Successfully arrived in the safe East District, where Karen has a simple personal laboratory.
Alex left without even entering, saying he would come back to them after collecting samples.
Li Ang sat inside for a while.
Karen brought two cups of coffee and handed one to him: "I originally thought it would be difficult to trick Alex, but I didn't expect it to be so easy."
The task assigned to her by Black Watch is to encourage Alex to collect virus samples.
Li Ang took the coffee but did not drink it, but put it aside: "Because in this world, apart from Dina, the person he trusts most is you, his ex-girlfriend."
Karen's expression instantly became a little ugly, and he also put down his coffee: "I know I'm not worthy of his trust, you don't need to remind me!"
Li Ang shrugged: "I didn't remind you, I was just stating the facts."
Then he stood up and said: "I have to leave too, I have something else to do, thank you for the coffee."
Karen looked at the untouched cup of coffee on the table, sneered and mocked: "Where did you promise to protect me? You're a bastard who talks lies!"
"Don't worry, you won't be able to die even if you want to with me here." Li Ang said without looking back.
Seeing that the man was about to leave, Karen finally made up his mind to add insurance to his future: "Will you come back tonight? Do you need me to give you the room key?"
Li Ang walked out of the room for a long time before she heard the response: "Let's talk again!"
Karen was so angry that she dropped the cup in her hand.
On the other side, Alex, who has a new errand, is searching for genetic samples while returning to his sister Dina's hiding place.
He has to come back every once in a while, otherwise he won't worry.
Dina is 9 years younger than him. She just turned 20 this year and is a journalism student at New York University.
Although he is young, he already possesses the most important potential of being a reporter - thick skin.
In addition, he likes to be nosy, has strong curiosity, and is proficient in certain hacking techniques. He started working as an investigative reporter before graduating.
When Alex investigated Gentek, he asked her for help.
The relationship between the brother and sister has always been deep. Since they had not seen their father since they were young and their mother had been an alcoholic for many years, Dina completely regarded Alex as her father.
"You came back just in time. Let's see what I found. It should be helpful to you!"
Dina has short brown hair and shouts like a tomboy at her brother who came back.
Her appearance is not beautiful, but she is youthful and energetic.
"What did you find?" Alex walked to his sister and looked at the computer screen in front of her.
Dina pointed to a news item on the screen: "The USS Ronald Reagan is docked in Manhattan now!"
Alex still didn't understand what she meant.
Dina had no choice but to make it clear: "McMullen, do you remember? You asked me to investigate him before, and I just got the news that his helicopter landed on the Reagan today!"
Alex suddenly remembered that Leon, who had the same disease as him, had suggested to him not long ago: If he wanted to find out what happened to him, he should go to McMullen.
"Is the news true?"
Dina vowed: "It's absolutely true!"
"Okay, I'll go find him!" Alex said goodbye to his sister immediately and went to find a way to board the aircraft carrier.
Dina was used to his hurried style, so she shook her head helplessly and continued to search for useful information on the computer.
