On the morning of February 6, the fourth conference room of the Brave New World Research Center in the Poppy District of San Martin, Colombia.
The morning meeting had just ended, and Xue Pheasant and her researchers were about to return to the workroom to start working. When she was about to leave, someone stopped her.
"Please wait a moment, Sister Xue Pheasant."
Even though he has been working here for a while, Xue Pheasant is still not used to being addressed with honorifics when talking to others.
"Ah, Gunter, what's wrong?"
The person who stopped her was Gunter. Ten minutes ago, Gunter joined her project as a second-level researcher. However, their previous research directions were completely different. Snow Pheasant still could not see any overlap between their projects. .
"I want to talk to you about the project after get off work. After all, I need to do a little more homework."
Xuezhi suddenly realized that it was because of this. She asked curiously: "Didn't your original project supervisor tell you about the arrangements of the research center a few days ago?"
The research center will notify researchers in advance when making personnel transfers. Snow Pheasant thought Gunter had been informed in advance, but now it seems that is obviously not the case.
"Not yet. When I was in Qiangwei District, for some reason, the communication equipment suddenly failed, so I probably missed the message. Anyway, thank you. Being able to join your project is a rare opportunity for me."
Xue Pheasant didn't take it to heart. She corrected Gunter: "It should be Mr. Lin who gave us the opportunity. Well, let's talk after get off work, but you may need to take some notes. My project is now divided into two Directions, one is the application of barbed hooks and the other is telescopic electric netting, and they also require a completely new safety protocol.”
"Okay, I'll treat you to dinner."
"eat?"
Xue Pheasant hesitated for a few seconds. Just when Gunter thought she had other ideas, she asked: "Let's go to the canteen. Today's dishes seem to be very good."
Gunter was stunned. He didn't expect Snow Pheasant to think so simply.
…
At the same time, on the other side of the city, the detective sister stood anxiously at the door of the Eagle's Nest Bar. She was still waiting for the arrival of her companion, but the other party seemed to have broken the appointment. Fifteen minutes had passed since the agreed time, and no one was seen. arrive.
By coincidence, they met here, all because of Sister Shuangye's ice cream. It was really surprising that the taciturn man of the undead was also interested in desserts.
After a few more minutes, Mei was about to lose her patience. She turned around and saw a tall figure standing behind her. She screamed "Ah" and backed away in fright. Unexpectedly, there were steps behind her. His feet were in the air and he fell backwards.
At the critical moment, the undead reached out and grabbed her, so fast that he even took action before she retreated.
After Mei stood firm, she supported her crooked hat and couldn't help complaining: "Did you already know that I would be so scared that I would fall down?!"
"Yes."
The words of affirmation came from the hoarse throat of the undead. The detective sister's cheeks were red with anger. She searched in her mind but couldn't find the words to fight back. She couldn't help but lowered her head in despair, thinking that if it were the penguin, she would definitely use it. The sharpest rhetorical reply!
"Why are you so late?"
Mei temporarily let go of her little unhappiness. She was even more curious about what the undead had done in these twenty minutes. If she overslept, she would have to laugh hard to relieve her anger!
"investigation."
Mei was confused by the undead's golden answer. She had been thinking about it all night but couldn't figure out where to look for clues. How could the undead find its target so quickly?
She followed two steps forward, pressed down her peaked cap, and whispered, "Where are we going now?"
"Sunflower Quarter."
"What are you doing there?"
"Check for clues."
Mei couldn't help but feel angry. They were partners. How could they be partners if they kept their words secret like this?
The undead's footsteps paused slightly. He waited for Mei, who had been lagging behind, and then said: "Now it's up to you to take the lead. When you get to the Sunflower District, you must be very tough. If necessary, you can use a Taser to hit people. No need to If you’re worried about other issues, if there’s a close combat, just leave it to me.”
He rarely spoke a lot more. Mei stopped and listened. She vaguely noticed a brief fluctuation in the undead's mood. In addition, due to the detective's vigilance, the undead's current movements seemed to be avoiding someone.
She glanced at the chatter on the street from the corner of her eyes. There seemed to be nothing special among the people coming and going, but there was a tall man who just walked past, followed by a Carters girl.
"let's go."
The undead continued to move forward, and Mei frowned. She vaguely felt that the undead had just come to life for a moment, and then fell into a long dead silence.
…
"Doctor, did you really find Sister Shuangye here?"
Amiya followed Zhou Jinru and looked up at the signboard of the Eagle's Nest Bar. She didn't like the place very much. The doctor couldn't drink. He would fall over if he touched it. There were only two of them now. If they were knocked down by the smell of alcohol, would they still be able to do it? Want her to drag such a big man back?
Zhou Jinru nodded. Ever since he saw Shuangye and Jianlei that night, he knew that he would definitely come to this place again in the future.
After making up their mind, the two people walked in one after another, but they were stopped when they reached the door. The security guard looked at Amiya and pointed to the height scale at hand: "Brother, it's not okay to bring such a child to the bar. Be honest, I advise you to go back now, otherwise I will notify people from the police station to arrest you, this has happened before."
Zhou Jinru: "..."
What's going on in this world? Does his face look like a lolicon? Who is Amiya, the leader of Rhodes Island? She is 160 centimeters tall including her long ears, so she is only 16 years old. Have you ever seen a 16-year-old leader of a force? !
Of course, these words were of no use. The security guard didn't listen at all. Seeing that the conversation had collapsed, a Ms. Walper came out and looked at Zhou Jinru and then at Amiya, who had an unhappy face. Sighing: "I thought you were pretty good, but I didn't expect you to be such a scumbag, with such a unique taste..."
"I'm not! That's all, I'm not, this is my friend, she just looks a little cool!"
Zhou Jinru was about to collapse and deeply felt the malice of this world.
"Are you Patri Chunlei?"
"I've tried it so many times, now it's called Jian Lei."
Amiya looked past Zhou Jinru and looked at Ms. Walper opposite, and continued: "We are here to see Sister Shuangye. If you have her contact information, please tell me. She will not refuse to see me."
"oh?"
Jian Lei became interested and looked at Amiya's appearance, her long ears, and the dark-faced Zhou Jinru, and rolled his eyes: "I know who you are, please come with me. .”
Things turned around so suddenly?
Zhou Jinru and Amiya looked at each other and were surprised by Jian Lei's sudden change of attitude.
"Oh, don't be surprised. That child Shuangye told me about your affairs. She once had a shady boss, which should refer to the gentleman next to you. I also know what you do. Her life is very good now, maybe not I will agree to go back, after all, the world will not be destroyed without anyone."
Jian Lei walked beside Amiya. Compared to Zhou Jinru, she was more fond of rabbits.
And Amiya seemed to recall some bad experience. From the moment Jian Lei walked beside her, she unconsciously leaned towards Zhou Jinru.
"We are a serious pharmaceutical company and will not force anyone to sign a contract of sale. There was a misunderstanding between Shuangye and I before. Now I just want to clear up the misunderstanding."
Zhou Jinru tried his best to explain, but Jian Lei was obviously not satisfied with the answer. She smiled playfully: "It seems that you don't understand girls' hearts at all. Some misunderstandings are better left alone than solved. To be honest, I I wish you could take that child back, and it’s for her own good, otherwise I wouldn’t agree to take you to see her.”
"Why?"
Jian Lei took a deep look at Zhou Jinru and explained: "The child's time is running out, and you are the only ones who have hope of saving her. You are a doctor, so you should understand what I mean. Although this is Rhine Life's But those researchers who are engaged in scientific research are far more interested in killing people efficiently than saving people, so I don’t need to worry about that."
Suddenly, Zhou Jinru remembered that in Shuangye's game files, the infection level was as high as 16%, second only to several high-risk operators. The root cause of all this was the poor living environment of Colombia's lower-level personnel, who had been trained as mercenaries. Even the infrastructure skills of Frost Leaf are used to accelerate the production of combat records, which are experience props that are used as dog food by players.
"Thank you for your help. If possible, we also hope to help Shuangye," Zhou Jinru said in a sincere tone, "I may have done some things that hurt Shuangye in the past, and I would like to find an opportunity to make up for it."
"Don't say this to me, go to Shuangye and see if she is willing to forgive you. Let me advise you, even if she wants to slap you, you should stand still and let her do it, and then hug her. You are wrong. , let her give you a chance, if you can prove it to her, maybe things will work out."
Zhou Jinru: "..."
Amiya: "..."
Why is this guy still acting as a wingman?
Shuangye is now a student at St. Martin Community College, and this adult university is located in the Rose District, attracting many civilians to study here. When Zhou Jinru and the others arrived, there were no people in the school because of the classes. I pulled a banner at the door, which seemed to be an advertisement for Brave New World.
"Mr. Lin's advertisements are all here?"
Zhou Jinru sighed.
Amiya showed no expression, feeling neither sad nor happy.
Jian Lei was silent, and Zhou Jinru sensed a bit of depression from her mood.
"Sister Jianlei, I happened to pass by Hyacinth Street and saw you fighting bravely. Otherwise, I really wouldn't have recognized you. You have changed a lot from before."
Jian Lei waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "Those are all trivial things, don't take them to heart. Could it be that you are not only interested in Shuang Ye, but also want to take me back?"
"To be honest, I'm very excited. Our Rhodes Island is in dire straits right now and there is a shortage of talents who are good at fighting. If I can get your resume, I will have the Human Resources Department prepare to receive it."
Zhou Jinru expressed his desire unabashedly. His performance was destined to be in vain. Bingyouzi Jianlei didn't accept this trick at all. She looked at his best performance and just twitched the corner of her mouth to express that she was over it now. I'm very good, and I don't want to join any force for the time being.
"Wait a minute. When Shuangye finishes class, we can rest for a while at the tourist pavilion. We have walked such a long way anyway."
Zhou Jinru nodded: "It's really hard, we have to walk so far every day."
Based on Shuangye's temper, she probably wouldn't take city buses. She is still a proud veteran at heart and can't stand that kind of blatant discrimination.
"I also admire you for being able to let ordinary people and infected people live in harmony. This is impossible to achieve in this city. The prejudice in people's hearts cannot be eliminated, and the infected people will never gain true social status. "
Zhou Jinru was sitting in the pavilion, with his hands on his knees, his waist straight, and he tilted his head and replied: "We have a large mobile city with a permanent population of more than 4,000 people. Being able to do this is considered as our best effort. Many people have seen it." People who are infected will still have prejudices and even unresolved hatred. At this time, we can only try to coordinate the conflicts instead of eliminating either party, which will only intensify the conflicts."
He reached out and pushed Amiya: "This is our leader. No one disobeys her. Even I must accept her guidance."
Jian Lei narrowed his eyes: "I can see that you really love her."
"That's right, she is my Amiya."
Zhou Jinru agreed with Jian Lei's words unceremoniously, causing Rabbit to push him shyly, almost pushing him down on the bench of the pavilion.
"You guys wait for me here, I'm going to see what Brave New World is promoting here."
Jian Lei stood up to leave, and Zhou Jinru followed suit: "Let's go together, I'm quite curious too."
Ms. Wolper walked in front, and Zhou Jinru and Amiya followed side by side.
"Doctor, how could you speak so, so...so openly in front of others?"
Amiya couldn't help but complain a few words.
"It's okay. Jian Lei is not an outsider. She has not explicitly opposed us. Ming also hopes to let her submit her resume. This is a Colombian elite soldier, a real veteran. His combat level is even higher than Shuang Ye's. Compared with fighting alone, , she is better at large-scale force operations, and being able to bring her to the island will be of great benefit to us."
While Zhou Jinru was talking, he didn't even notice that the way Amiya looked at him changed slightly.
"Doctor, why are you so eager to strengthen Rhode Island's combat effectiveness? It seems that something terrible is about to happen. Have you obtained any information?"
