In early February, Zhou Jinru stayed at Silver Fox for four days and finally received support from Rhode Island, but their arrival was extremely impressive...
Leading the team was Shi Huaiya, whom she hadn't seen for a long time. The little tiger was holding a flag. Behind her were a group of Rhode Island operators, some of whom they knew but not others, chatting away, just like a tourist group.
Standing at the intersection, Zhou Jinru's eyes widened, and he thought to himself that you are not here to help, but you are here for tourism. You are all carrying big and small bags, and you are very happy. You don’t travel with public funds so blatantly.
The first person following Shi Huaiya was Amiya. The little rabbit was wearing a thick down jacket. When she saw Zhou Jinru waving from afar, she immediately puffed up her cheeks and glared at him fiercely.
Look at what this man has done. His head is wrapped with gauze, and his right hand is bandaged tightly. If he hadn't been unable to hold on, he might have forgotten the home behind him, right?
You can't look good on this kind of person!
Before she could vent her anger, someone in the team quickly ran up to her, raising a staff and causing a green light to fall down.
Susuluo asked with concern: "Doctor, is your injury okay?"
"It's okay. Seeing how he's jumping around, it's just some superficial injuries."
Gavel, who was wearing a cowboy hat, came over and patted Zhou Jinru on the shoulder so hard that his rigid shield almost came out. She nodded with satisfaction and said with pride: "Doctor, tell me who did it. If I hurt you, I’ll knock him to death!”
Zhou Jinru was silent for a second and asked tentatively: "Do you still remember your profession?"
"I am a doctor who became a monk on the way, and my main job is to be a warrior."
Pushing aside the unreliable Jiaweier, Zhou Jinru saw more people. In addition to these few, there was also an entire A6 reserve group.
"Doctor, Lapland and Mostima went shopping together. Ansuo didn't come to the Glasgow Gang's stronghold. Hongyun is looking for her old friend and will contact us later. The Iron-eating Beast was there just now, but now it's gone. , she likes to run around, and Anbil, you need to direct it yourself."
Shi Huaiya briefly recounted the situation of the operators, and Zhou Jinru covered his face. He only wanted some support, but he didn't expect that the rear sent out almost all those who could fight.
However, this was not over yet. A strange Feng Tie in the team came over and saluted Zhou Jinru: "Equipment Department Officer Xiu San is here to report. I have brought a team to be responsible for your equipment needs in Saint Martin."
"Oh, by the way, Mr. Kakumine and Miss Hatsuki also went shopping. They are mainly responsible for logistics."
Zhou Jinru: "..."
What is this for?
Fighting a small war?
In addition to the basic manpower left behind, Rhode Island was considered a collective action. The operators he brought back from Longmen were basically all there, and he was instantly more confident.
Zhou Jinru looked at Amiya who was still angry, reached out and pinched her ears, and asked in a low voice: "Why is the communication link at the rear not connected?"
"Don't touch there!"
Amiya pushed the doctor's hand away in disgust: "The signal source of St. Martin's is very special. The operators of the Communications Department have debugged it many times but have been unable to successfully connect. Until now, they still can't connect, so they had to use some special means. Soon, You can use it now.”
Zhou Jinru asked curiously: "What method?"
He didn't know much about Originium technology, and he always felt that the technology tree in the world of Terra was a bit crooked, but he couldn't tell what was wrong. It seemed that he was not a qualified keyboard king.
"To establish a point-to-point communication link, we just need to lay a communication base inside St. Martin. Although this is bypassing the city's own communication network, it is also a last resort."
What kind of black technology is this?
"etc."
Zhou Jinru keenly discovered something was wrong: "Didn't we apply to the Saint Martin official for a communication network docking port?"
"I applied but was not approved." Amiya stood in front of Zhou Jinru and poked his chest with the tip of her ear. "Does the doctor only talk about work now?"
Zhou Jinru exclaimed: "Hey, who used to say, 'Doctor, you can't rest now'? Why has the style changed now?"
Amiya's cheeks instantly turned red. She lowered her head and hit Zhou Jinru's abdomen hard, causing him to stumble.
"If you are tense every day and don't know how to relax, you will collapse sooner or later. Life needs to be relaxed and balanced with work and rest."
Zhou Jinru stood firm and made a serious face on the spot: "No, you are not my Amiya. Amiya will not say such things. She will only let me work, work, and work. Tell me, who are you?" Give me back my Amiya!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Amiya hugged him. On the crowded street, the petite girl hugged him tightly, buried her face in his clothes, and rubbed, rubbed, and rubbed. The long ears kept wagging in front of him.
"Amiya, stop it, Amiya, pedestrians are looking at us strangely, and the police officer from across the road is coming over. I don't want to be arrested as a pervert, so let go."
Such a young girl, she must be underage no matter what, it must be very suspicious to be hugging an adult man in public!
Zhou Jinru thought to himself that maybe it would be Amiya who was arrested, and then he would find out his identity and send her away to St. Martin, which would be great fun.
"When will the Doctor learn to rely on us?"
"What?"
Amiya's voice was muffled in her clothes, and Zhou Jinru couldn't hear it clearly for a while. He asked something, and Little Rabbit refused to repeat what he said. It took him a long time to let go of his hand, and stretched out his hand to tidy up his messy hair. He was too shy to dare To see him.
As a group of people walked on the road, they were just like a tour group, curious about everything in the Rose District. Yue Jianye and Zi Lan even left the group and wandered off together.
The autistic child, Spot, followed behind with dull eyes. He had no interest in shopping. Zhou Jinru didn't know if Spot had finished all the inventory. Anyway, his salary was paid, and he could buy and buy in St. Martin without anyone saying anything. .
As for Popka, the little girl took over Zhou Jinru’s only movable left hand, and they held hands and walked together.
"Where did the air blast go?"
Amiya looked back, and in the blink of an eye, the A6 reserve group disappeared without a trace. When entering San Martin, the team was still intact. After passing the Tulip Street, some people were lost. Now in the Rose District, the team is completely gone. No more, an angry Shihuaiya screamed, shouting that the Rhode Island operators had poor discipline, even worse than a special operations team in Longmen.
"Miss Shihuaiya, your requirements are too high. We are just a pharmaceutical company and do not need such a rigorous team. Everyone is relaxed now, which is good."
Amiya sighed and began to persuade Shihuaiya not to pay too much attention to these details, especially the living treasures of the A6 preparation group.
Zhou Jinru looked at this scene and was holding back a word in his heart. He stretched out his hand to call the Xiu 3 officer from the equipment department to come over.
"I have a question about typewriters. How much do you know about typewriters?"
Although Xiu Shen didn't understand what Zhou Jinru meant, he still explained: "Typewriters were an input tool a long time ago and have been eliminated long ago. If the doctor wants a typewriter, there are some parts in the equipment department's inventory that can be assembled."
"It's okay, I don't want it, just ask."
Zhou Jinru waved his hand. He kept thinking about the photo of the typewriter that Silver Fox showed him before, the Lexington typewriter. This thing was previously in the hands of the collector Sir Lister, but he was assassinated a few days ago. Those in his hand The collection was swept away by the DeWitt gang, including the Lexington typewriter, and its whereabouts have since been unknown.
Yinhu said that nothing could be found, but Zhou Jinru was alone here and could do nothing but stare.
Fortunately, the Rhode Island operators are now in place. Three-dimensional operations, plus Vina, a total of two senior senior operators, they are a considerable force after all.
Vina…
Since that night, Weina has been avoiding him, and even spoke coldly to him when they met. If Breeze hadn't been unable to move, she would have returned to Tulip Street.
He sighed and decided to postpone the matter for the time being. Weina's matter would have to be dealt with after all. Her poor state was like dancing in shackles. She could only show half of her strength, which was a blessing from God.
"Amiya, how are you doing in Rhode Island these days outside St. Martin?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the resentful voice of the little rabbit came to his ears: "Ah, I thought the doctor was having too much fun in St. Martin and had forgotten about us."
She did not embarrass Zhou Jinru too much and began to talk about her experiences these days.
As a rule, when Rhode Island arrives in a new place, it will reach an agreement with the local government, and then build a temporary hospital on the spot to treat some critically ill infected people. The costs are all borne by the government. Due to the existence of supervision, Rhode Island cannot be unconditional. All infected patients will be admitted and all issues in this regard will be mediated by the supervisory authorities.
"The political environment here in St. Martin is much better than that in Syracuse. There is a lot less hassle. We have opened two temporary hospitals. Our original thought was that with Rheinland Life here, the lives of infected people would not be too difficult. , but the reality is completely different from what we imagined. The community of infected people outside St. Martin is very chaotic and full of gangs. Operators are not allowed to go out alone and must be accompanied by armed personnel."
"And the batch of injections that were stolen from Brave New World will basically never come back. After all, we can't have a head-on conflict with the local gangs, and Brave New World doesn't seem to care too much, so we're putting them on hold now. ”
Zhou Jinru was stunned, what was the purpose of Brave New World inviting them here?
He couldn't guess what Mr. Lin was thinking.
"Don't complain about the friend's business behind his back. I live with the head of the branch of the friend's business now. If we have anything to say, we can just go home and talk about it."
Stopping the little rabbit in time, Zhou Jinru touched his chin thoughtfully and whispered: "So, the basic rights promised by Saint Martin before are actually not enjoyed by the infected people at all? If this is the case, so many infected people will not be able to enjoy it at all." , isn’t it going to cause a stir?”
Before he finished speaking, Shi Huaiya saw the city bus approaching and immediately reached out to hail it. After all, they still had to walk a long way.
Zhou Jinru, who was next to her, grabbed her: "We won't take the bus for the time being. We have to walk the way there. I remember writing these contents in the letter. Do all the operators know?"
"Why? The doctor didn't give any reason..."
Shi Huaiya was pulled by Zhou Jinru, her feet were unsteady, and she fell into his arms. Then she got up as if nothing had happened and arranged her clothes.
"I hope you will respect this and at least when first arriving in San Martin, everyone is not allowed to take city buses."
Zhou Jinru looked at the bus passing by, and through the glass window, his eyes fell on the people standing behind the car.
The rights and interests of the infected could not be guaranteed at all. Zhou Jinru could not imagine the scene where his operators were asked to stand at the back of the carriage and look at the empty seats in the front row. Saint Martin said that everyone could find their own place, but the place given to the infected It was definitely not what he wanted to see.
He still remembered the Sakaz young man named Gunter. They were in the bus, one sitting and the other standing, separated by an iron fence, as if separated by a natural chasm.
Shi Huaiya wasn't sure what happened, and she didn't ask for a ride. The group just walked to the hotel where they were staying, and directly opposite was the Eagle's Nest Bar.
When Zhou Jinru entered the door, he happened to see Silver Fox wearing a gray coat coming out. The two people passed by each other at the door, turned around at the same time, and their eyes met. The atmosphere was a bit subtle.
Silver Fox's eyes swept over several operators, and he put his hands in his coat pockets and asked, "Are these your operators?"
Amiya watched their exchange, staring at Silver Fox's slightly immature face, and raised her ears warily.
Zhou Jinru smiled and said: "Yes, thank you for the arrangement, otherwise I would have to go through a lot of trouble to find a suitable hotel."
Silver Fox looked relaxed: "It's a joke. This way no one in my family will eat and drink all day long. The documents you want will be delivered in the afternoon. Remember to sign for them."
She turned to leave, but Zhou Jinru caught up and took her arm with his right hand. He took out a stack of banknotes from his pocket with his left hand and stuffed it into her hand.
"Nothing, you're welcome."
Silver Fox frowned slightly, looked down at the blue banknotes, and suddenly smiled: "Thank you, uncle, we will come together next time."
As soon as he finished speaking, the two men squatting at the door of the hotel looked at each other, stood up suddenly, and walked towards Zhou Jinru.
"Saint Martin Rose District Police Station, please cooperate with the investigation."
The two men showed their IDs and asked Zhou Jinru and Yinhu to be investigated. Zhou Jinru's expression froze on his face, apparently mistaking them for some strange people.
"This is my friend, two police officers, please don't get me wrong."
He tried to explain, but the result was counterproductive, and the other party took out the handcuffs directly.
Bad dish.
Zhou Jinru suddenly remembered that Amiya had just followed him in. She was a real girl. If he didn't explain clearly, he would really enter the palace for the second time.
