When Zhou Jinru heard the news, his brain was short-circuited for an unprecedented two seconds. He didn't expect the gravel to arrive so quickly. He originally thought it would only arrive in two days.
In the game, Li is a qualified tool person with a special ability to quickly resurrect, and is often used by players to block damage, and her file shows a great interest in the doctor, well, interest.
Zhou Jinru just saw the message from Amiya asking him to go to the Human Resources Department. He heard from Angelina that Li was in the Human Resources Department, and suddenly he didn't know whether he should go.
"Does it mean that the doctor is also afraid?"
Angelina looked at him expressionlessly, feeling a sense of crisis deep in her heart. There was Mostima in front of her and Vina in the back. The former's attitude was not clear yet, and the latter could not go further due to her identity. She I already feel a lot of pressure, and now with the addition of Li Li, who is eyeing him eagerly, maybe even the status of a senior senior operator may not be enough.
"An'yuan, should I go to the Human Resources Department now?"
Zhou Jinru was a little panicked. That was Li. He was the kind of person who would tell you as soon as they met, "I'm jealous of you. Let's do something suitable for Dahong, such as having a baby or something."
Angelina did not intend to stop him at this time, but pushed the wheelchair towards the personnel department: "Li is also a powerful operator after all. The doctor should be more enthusiastic. Casimir's upstart knight, she can completely My allegiance, Doctor."
Angelina bit the word "loyalty" very hard, so hard that she almost crushed the armrest behind the wheelchair.
When Zhou Jinru came to the human resources department, he saw a girl with pink hair sitting opposite Zi Lan and filling out a form as soon as he entered the door.
She should be dead.
Zhou Jinru's throat moved, and he swallowed hard. He noticed from the other party's emotions that he had been noticed by the other party the moment he entered the door. The joyful emotions continued to overflow, forming a vast ocean, and almost reached the end of the ocean. He was drowned.
What should I say?
Zhou Jinru felt that his reaction speed was much slower. It took him a long time to notice Amiya on the other side. The little rabbit was staring at him, which seemed to be a threat... maybe.
"PhD?"
Miss Marmot turned around, but her beautiful face showed a look of tears, and even her eye circles were red. The moment she put down the form, she stood up and walked over, as if she had not seen her for a long time. Concerned, she looked at his face carefully.
"Um, welcome back?"
Zhou Jinru asked tentatively, feeling really frightened in his heart.
Li looked at the doctor sitting in the wheelchair and slowly stretched out her hand, her fingertips hanging in the air. She almost wanted to move forward, but stopped again. She choked and said:
"Doctor, I should be by your side to protect you."
She wanted to touch the doctor, but she couldn't reach out with her fingers. Even though they were close at hand, they seemed to be far away, separated by thousands of mountains and rivers.
The atmosphere calmed down, and Zhou Jinru couldn't bear to watch Li cry, so he could only comfort him: "There is nothing wrong with my body. I am currently in the recovery period, and I will be able to walk normally in a while."
He looked into Li's eyes: "Senomi, welcome back."
Li raised her head, her eyes bright. She made an unexpected move and flew forward. She moved very quickly, holding the wheelchair with both hands, leaning forward, close to Zhou Jinru's face, and touching his mouth with her warm lips. , quickly wipe it with the tip of your tongue.
"Woo!"
Zhou Jinru subconsciously turned his head, but it was too late. Li had already got what he wanted. He stepped back, lowered his head, and smiled brightly.
"Doctor, don't be shy. This is just Casimir's greeting, an ancient etiquette."
Amiya calmly placed the water cup on the table. There were several cracks on the surface of the cup, and tea was flowing out of those small cracks.
It’s ancient etiquette again. Are those ancient things very popular now?
Angelina's eyes were unkind. She heard that Breeze from Victoria also used this ancient etiquette to kiss the doctor when she first met him... It seems that she also needs to study Syracuse. An ancient etiquette.
The small episode in the personnel department did not affect today's work progress. On the way back to the control center, Zhou Jinru found uneasily that Amiya's face had always been ugly. She seemed to be stimulated by what had just happened.
I have to say that some female operators are really good at showing their own strength.
He didn't know how to make the sulky Amiya feel better, but he didn't expect that she would be the first to speak.
Amiya whispered: "Doctor, your personal charm is too strong. Many operators like you very much. Not only that, even Mr. Silver Gray only wants to communicate with you alone."
"...Amiya, Kalan Trade represents Kjerag's behemoth. Mr. Silver Ash and I are just ordinary friends. As for the female operators, they have indeed gone too far in some aspects. I will remind them Pay attention to your words and actions.”
Even though she said this, Amiya did not relax at all. She thought of the silver fox who communicated with the doctor in the reception room today. Something obviously happened between them.
Little Rabbit's heart was filled with a sense of crisis.
Later, Zhou Jinru met Silver Fox in the public hall. She had just finished dinner and looked satisfied.
Zhou Jinru asked with a smile: "The food in our Rhodes Island should still satisfy you, right?"
They walked together on the way to the deck.
Silver Fox looked at the wheelchair under Zhou Jinru, frowned slightly and said, "Is your health really okay? You can have a comprehensive and detailed examination at Rhine Life, and I can still make the decision on this."
"Thank you, no need for now, I can feel my body is getting better."
Zhou Jinru declined Silver Fox's invitation. He had enough confidence in Rhode Island's medical skills and also had enough confidence in Kelsey.
"If you are worried about what Dr. Kelsey has in mind, I can go talk to her."
Silver Fox doesn't give up.
Zhou Jinru controlled the direction of the wheelchair and said with a wry smile: "I really don't have any problem, and it's not my body that I should be paying attention to now. If you didn't say anything in the morning, you can tell me now."
"Workaholic."
Silver Fox glanced at him, put his hands on the back of his head, and slowed down his pace so that he and Zhou Jinru's wheelchair could keep the same pace.
"You can take a guess at what I want to say. Anyway, there's nothing urgent right now."
"There is no need to guess. The Glory Road is a thing of the past in the sailing era. Since countries have slowed down and stopped large-scale manufacturing of land craft, no matter how brilliant they are, they can only fall into the ordinary. What you want to say is that the Glory Road is not Brilliant again.”
Listening to Zhou Jinru's speculation, Yinhu couldn't help but look at him again, as if to say that you don't know how to give in.
She affirmed: "What you said is basically correct. The Brilliant Avenue is no longer glorious. It is now called the Broken Avenue by the locals. The heavy industrial city has lost the power of development. The factories have stopped working and the machines have stopped. All the glory is like a beautiful dream, quietly Dispersed, leaving only heavy equipment covered with rust.”
"I must remind you that the Broken Avenues of the Rust Belt are not mobile cities. They still name administrative areas after old-time states. Because of national policy, state capitals can neither re-oil the cooling machines nor re-oil them." Sufficient funding to maintain Broken Avenue’s infrastructure.”
"There are many heat pump pipes in that place. They are connected to the underground Originium veins all year round. If you want to send people into them, you may have to prepare burn medicine in advance. The damaged part of the pipes is very likely to burst into flames. Very unsafe.”
Zhou Jinru kept these in mind. He seemed to have heard about the heat pump pipeline somewhere, and he had no time to ask now. He was concerned about another issue.
"You told me so much that you have decided not to get involved anymore?"
Silver Fox smiled, lifted the hair from his forehead, and said softly: "I got what I wanted, and I'm not interested in the rest, and..."
"Last night, I received a transfer order from Rheinland Life. I will take over the work of St. Martin in the next six weeks and go to a polar research center as the deputy director. This operation against the Rust Belt will be carried out by mobile warfare. Roberts of the force is in charge, and he should be coming to you soon to seek cooperation.”
This is unexpected news. The Silver Fox will be transferred away from San Martin, or even leave Colombia directly. Is this another kind of transfer?
"Should I congratulate you on your promotion?"
He didn't know what to say.
The two came to the deck, where several operators were already chatting and chatting. They were not surprised to see Zhou Jinru coming out. He had been a frequent visitor here for a long time.
The wind blowing in front of him dissipated the dull heat, and Silver Fox squinted his eyes slightly: "This is not an assignment. I asked to go to the polar regions. There are sufficient research resources, so I can squander it as much as I want."
"Congratulations."
Zhou Jinru's congratulations did not cause too much reaction from Silver Fox, and he said seriously: "The Rust Belt is by no means as peaceful as you and I see. The calmness on the surface can only mean that it is actively moving. You should know better in this regard."
The glorious avenue that has lost its glory has been reduced to a broken avenue. One can imagine how unwilling those Colombians who have been abandoned by the times are. Its existence also proves that the mobile city is not a paradise-like refuge.
"I know that there is everything that should be available in that place. Even the integration movement will not give up there. If I were Tallulah, I would definitely fight for the Rust Belt. With my personal charm, I can pull up a lot of people with just a raise of my arms. A huge crowd of supporters.”
Silver Fox took a deep look at him and said meaningfully: "The relationship between you and the Integration Movement is really extraordinary, and you can encounter it everywhere."
"Do you believe it when I say it was an accident? It was all an accident."
Zhou Jinru sighed.
"I don't believe it. There are too many accidents between you. There are so many that one wonders if there is deliberate friction."
"The question now is not how to integrate the movement, but that I have to find a way to find Ceria and the others. Thank you for your help."
"Is it as simple as just helping?"
Zhou Jinru spread his hands: "Otherwise, what else do you want?"
He looked at Silver Fox, who licked his lips: "I don't want it anymore. I already want enough. I made my decision a long time ago and never regret it."
Her smile was full of bitterness, and something in her eyes wavered slightly.
"You want to regret it now?"
Zhou Jinru said with great interest.
Eventually, the wavering calmed down and was replaced by perseverance.
"We all have our own missions. You do your own thing, and so do I."
She slowly let go of the palms hidden behind her back, which were covered in sweat, and she couldn't help but shiver when the cold wind blew.
Zhou Jinru rubbed his eyebrows: "I always feel that you will give me a surprise, maybe a scare. Alas, you went to the pole to help me pay attention to a penguin. She called herself Magellan, or Columbus. In short, the name is very strange. The kind that makes people think crookedly.”
Silver Fox relaxed and put on an aggrieved look: "I'm not your operator, let alone your slave. And before I go to the Polar Research Center, you're already thinking about how to exploit me?"
"Look out! Just look out!"
Zhou Jinru's forehead veins popped out. Why does this woman always lead the topic in strange directions? This is the main ship of Rhode Island, so many operators are looking at him, and Amiya has already been killed because of many female operators and The relationship between him was too close and he was jealous.
"Okay, I will pay attention. After all, this is your base camp."
Silver Fox said nothing more, took two steps back, stood quietly behind him, and stared at his back.
If at that time……
if……
There is no if.
The complicated bitter smile at the corner of her mouth slowly dissipated. There are no ifs or nos in this world.
At this time, Zhou Jinru's voice suddenly came: "We must have known each other before. How long have we known each other? Can you tell us our past stories?"
Previous stories?
"I have almost forgotten the previous story, which is about an adventure group formed by several young men and women exploring the world of Terra. It's so boring that I won't mention it."
"If you really want to know more, you can ask Dr. Kelsey. Her memory is better than mine and she can always remember many things."
Silver Fox retreated quietly and returned to the land speeder, leaving only Zhou Jinru on the deck.
"Adventure group, adventure story, Alpine base, Kelsey, Silver Fox, me, and other members I don't know about."
This is a story that is both simple and complex. Simple because it does not belong to the current world of Terra, but complex because it proves that there is indeed something wrong with Zhou Jinru's memory.
He tapped his temple gently, and now he could basically confirm that there was something very fishy about him traveling directly into the Rhode Island land speeder, but the operators had no idea about it, and they all thought that He is missing.
Kelsey probably knows everything, but she is doing her best to block the truth from Zhou Jinru's access.
"She doesn't want to tell me anything. Does she want to protect me, or does she mean something else?"
