"It's finally done. Our hard work for so many days has finally been in vain."
Snow Pheasant raised the cup to show respect to her team members. The small mechanical hook was completed first. The giant mechanical hook took many geniuses to solve. Thanks to Gunter, he also has considerable attainments in the field of mechanical engineering. Write security protocols while also assisting others in their work.
Unfortunately, due to his status as a Sarkaz-infected person, few people will truly respect him, which is also the reason why Snow Pheasant has a headache.
"I don't mind this too much. After all, if you want to improve your image in the eyes of others, personal efforts alone are not enough. The infected must change themselves."
As Gunter spoke, there was no sadness or joy in his eyes, and he didn't care at all about the upcoming celebration banquet.
Xue Pheasant sighed: "I just received a call from Mr. Lin. He congratulated us on a great achievement, but now it seems that achievements cannot change the prejudice in the eyes of others."
"Do you know that many people envy you?"
Gunter squinted his eyes and took a sip of herbal tea: "You can actually win Mr. Lin's favor. There are very few people who can meet him, and there are not many people who can talk to him on the phone. And you still have Such a high level of talent is worthy of allocating resources of the research center."
"Yeah?"
Xue Pheasant held the cup in his hand and said calmly: "But I am a Yan country after all. Although Colombia publicly declares that there is no discrimination, the discrimination in people's hearts is deep in their bones. Let me ask you a question..."
"If a Yanguo person had her wallet stolen in Colombia and she went to the police station to report the crime, why was she arrested instead?"
Gunter stared at the rippling water in the cup: "Because the police station has reason to suspect that this Yanguo man had his wallet stolen and then stole other people's property with malicious intent."
"bingo."
Xue Pheasant said in a faint tone: "If there hadn't been Mei that day, I would have been locked up, and I would have been sent to an infected community because I was penniless."
"Without further ado, let's raise a toast to this damn era."
Gunter raised the cup and drank it all in one gulp. Snow Pheasant also followed suit and drank up the drink.
"When will you and your girlfriend get married?"
"Come on, I will propose to her after the celebration party. The wedding should be as grand as possible. After all, it is a major event in life."
"Then I'll just wait for the good news."
Snow Pheasant smiled and picked up another drink, and handed one to Gunter as well.
"I can see that they actually don't respect you that much."
Gunter glanced at the crowd gathered on the other side. He was grateful from the bottom of his heart that Snow Pheasant could stand here, because most people in the research center avoided him, a "freak".
Xue Pheasant didn't care at all: "I only have one year of internship in Colombia. After that, I have to return to Yan Country. This country is not suitable for me."
"Then I can only wish you well in advance. Jenny and I want to continue living here. Compared to our hometown, at least we can live more comfortably in St. Martin."
Snow Pheasant had heard that Gunter came from a war-torn country and respected his choice.
Just when they were about to continue chatting, the light in the research center suddenly dimmed, and the last weak light source came from the crystal chandelier overhead.
"what happened?!"
"what happens?"
"Is there a power outage?"
Snow Pheasant was about to stand up when his arm was grabbed by Gunter beside him. The Sakaz young man's face looked very pale in the dim light.
"Don't run around, it's a distant date."
…
"Wow, Brother Undead, you said those people are an integrated movement?!"
Mei was out of breath as she ran, but she could barely keep up with the undead.
"right."
How is this possible? The Integration Movement has already run away. How could it appear here?
They traced all the way to the last hiding place of the DeWitt Gang, but the undead just took one look and turned around and left, saying that the Integration Movement was hidden inside. Mei was dragged away without even looking.
"Why……"
"Food, wine, money, everything they wanted."
Mei couldn't think of too many profound things, but she could still connect everything with simple logic.
The integration movement went to farm and harvest mountains of food. They sold off large quantities of food and used the money in exchange to buy everything they wanted.
“Why come to San Martin when you can sell food anywhere?”
Mei still couldn't figure it out.
The undead jumped out one word after another: "Saint Martin, freedom, businessmen, interests, channels."
"Are you talking about the freedom of St. Martin? Some businessmen will sell things to the Integration Movement for profit. There are shopping channels here?"
Mei felt that she had guessed the truth, and she couldn't help but take a breath. It was indeed Colombia, known as the country of freedom and dreams. As long as there was benefit, nothing mattered.
While running, the sky suddenly dimmed. Mei accidentally bumped into the solid back of the undead, and sat down on the ground dizzily, barely able to stand up.
"What happened?"
The sky at noon suddenly became dark. In just one minute, it was so dark that I needed lighting to see the road clearly!
Mei was frightened, clutching the undead's clothes tightly, trembling.
"The distant date is here."
…
Dunbar was holding a pile of food. Thanks to the gentleman he met a few days ago, he had enough money to ensure his daily life. At least for a while, he would not be exhausted by lack of food. He would find a way to make money in the future. Return the money to the gentleman.
He was walking halfway and somehow found that the sky was getting darker and darker, and he would soon be unable to see the road clearly.
The sudden darkness brought the already chaotic streets to a state of paralysis, with people running around everywhere. The gang members squatting in the corners robbed the streets randomly, and some even set fire to vehicles parked on the roadside.
Dunbar walked quickly. Fortunately, his medium-sized figure did not attract attention. He returned home without any danger.
At this time, the sky was completely dark, without a trace of light. There was a commotion on the street outside. The panicked man piled all the things he could move at the door, hid the extra money under the mattress with trembling hands, and shrunk. I don't even dare to let out the air in the corner.
I don’t know how long it took, but the window of the supplies was knocked several times, and a beam of light came in. It turned back and forth several times, without noticing the frightened eyes in the corner, and quickly left on its own.
Dunbar had heard of this phenomenon before, and it seemed to be called a distant date.
He shakily stuffed a piece of bread into his mouth, trying hard not to make any sound, praying that this terrible phenomenon would pass soon.
…
"I don't want you to worry about it!"
Hongyun closed the door angrily, shutting out the mourner with a black halo of light, but the thick door panel couldn't block the man's voice.
"Miss Hongyun, please don't overwork yourself. It will help your body develop. You must eat enough and drink eight glasses of water a day. You must also do cultural homework..."
She talks endlessly like an old woman reciting sutras. She can say it better than Instructor Dupin. He claims to be a guardian. Have you ever asked for her opinion?
She, Hongyun, is the Rhode Island sniper operator!
No guardian is needed at all!
What a joke!
"...If you fall behind, reading and writing are not enough. I have an obligation to pay attention..."
"You have no obligation!"
Hongyun couldn't bear the demonic sound, so she opened the door, rolled up her sleeves, and prepared to have a big fight.
She must make this arrogant Sakota understand what it is like to be a girl growing up in the wilderness!
"Miss Hongyun, according to..."
"No basis!"
Hongyun raised a finger and pressed it hard against the mourner's chest (she originally wanted to point at the forehead, but it was out of reach), her face turned red, and she said angrily: "You are my guardian whether you open your mouth or not. You know me well." How much? Do you know where I was born, where I lived, where I grew up?"
"I……"
"What am I? Do you know what I usually use to maintain my weapons? Do you know how many times I have been educated by Instructor Dubin? Do you know which foot I like to use when I enter a room..."
The mourner stepped aside half a step, pressed Hongyun's finger, and said calmly: "Miss Hongyun, when you usually enter the door, you always put your right foot, your left hand on your waist, and your right hand ready to press the door frame at any time, because this is convenient for escaping. In fact, it is not necessary. , from my observation, Rhode Island Pharmaceuticals is a very safe place.”
Hongyun was speechless. She did not expect that the Undertaker would actually observe her movements, but this did not affect her continued attack. Children who grew up in the wilderness were not knocked down so easily.
"you!"
As soon as she spoke the first word, the mourner put his arm around her shoulders, carried her into the room with extremely quick movements, and closed the door.
"W-what do you want to do?!"
Hongyun was a little panicked. She knew that the Undertaker was far stronger than her. If she wanted to do something, all she could do was stop resisting, otherwise she would be killed in an instant.
Under the light in the room, the black halo above the head of the mourner slowly emitted layers of ripples. His expression was very serious and his tone was solemn: "Miss Hongyun, please stay in the room now and don't leave, but please don't worry, I We will definitely protect your safety.”
"What's wrong?"
Hong Yun's anger was relieved by seven points, and the remaining three points were insignificant. She quickly asked, and at this moment, the phone in the room suddenly rang, and Shi Huaiya's urgent voice came from it:
"Gather! Everyone gather in my room! Quick!"
Snapped.
The mourner pressed the phone, and Hongyun noticed that his handsome face showed rare nervousness!
"Date date, is the scale so big..."
…
"Be patient, my old friend, we have been together for so many years, haven't you ever trusted me?"
A middle-aged man stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, where he could overlook the entire Poppy District. Behind the desk that originally belonged to him, the gloomy Mayor Thomas was roaring:
"How do you expect me to trust you! The whole city is in chaos now. Municipal staff refuse to work for various reasons. The entire city's administrative agencies are in a state of shutdown. Is this the result you want?!"
The smile on the middle-aged man's face never changed. Faced with Thomas' anger, he said calmly: "Everything is only temporary. Don't worry, it won't take long for it to return to normal. They haven't realized the real danger yet."
"Lin! Can you tell me what you want to do? I'm really scared now. Once the Colombian judiciary starts to intervene, the only thing waiting for me will be a long jail term!"
Thomas asked almost pleadingly. He had not slept well for several nights and his nerves were always tense. Even if the prohibition bill was won, he did not feel any joy. Instead, he felt that the noose around his neck was getting tighter and tighter.
"I understand, I understand, but I have told you everything you want to know, it's just that you don't want to believe it."
Mr. Lin spoke unhurriedly. He stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. There was an inexplicable meaning in his tone: "Since you know that I guessed it right every time, why don't you want to believe me this time?" What? No one knows this world better than me. Others think I am making a desperate move, but they don’t know that I am saving them. Why is my company called Brave New World? Because..."
Mr. Lin paused and said very scary words in the most relaxed tone:
"Because I have seen the real doomsday. The lights go out, and people who have lost their light are swallowed up by darkness one by one. There is no hope, no future, and everyone will die."
"Instead of waiting for others to save you, it's better to save yourself. Everything I do is to save others. If you don't understand, I can forgive you. I just hope you don't hold me back."
Lin Xiaoxi turned around. Behind him, the sky fell into darkness little by little, so dark that it was hard to breathe.
Thomas opened his mouth wide, too shocked to speak.
However, at this moment, the city that was plunged into extreme darkness was lit up with light everywhere, trying to dispel the darkness as much as possible. This was the Brave New World scattered in every network in the city, intertwined into a network of light.
"Forest……"
Lin Xiaoxi held Thomas's hand and said seriously: "Old friend, don't leave the place with light, don't try to hide in the darkness, the real darkness is far scarier than you think."
"I had a dream and lived my whole life in the dream. It was a really tragic ending. Now that I have woken up from the dream, I will do my best to save the world, at least save this city at this moment."
…
Zhou Jinru looked at the boundless darkness, reached out and pulled out his belt and buckled it around Yinhu's waist. He couldn't feel the light from the lights above his head. The darkness was like a viscous liquid, trying to swallow him whole. .
"what are you doing?!"
"Put it on and protect yourself. I'm going to see what's going on."
Silver Fox hurriedly put the two potions into his hands: "Take this, Black Water, you can use it as a stimulant!"
