Ever since they stepped into the range of Saint-Aral, the Yeti team could no longer see the tail behind them.
"Sister, they left."
Froststar nodded. If Tails continued to follow, someone in front would naturally deal with them.
"We enter the city quietly, the leader should be waiting for us now."
On the other side, the off-road vehicle Zhou Jinru was riding entered a fork in the road. He followed it all the way here. Of course, it was not to pursue the integration movement. Moreover, Shuangxing was confident and there must be bigger trouble ahead, so he simply avoided it first.
He asked casually: "Have you contacted Ansuo and them?"
Breeze stared at the terminal screen and shook his head: "Not yet. The signal here is very strong, but it is different from San Martin and other places in Colombia. It will take me a while to crack it."
Zhou Jinru’s expression was expressionless. The Rhode Island operators seemed to have a habit of destroying something they saw. It seemed that they had a good or bad habit.
They reached a high degree of unity on a certain concept:
Oops, it's so troublesome, let me blow it up and destroy it.
Zhou Jinru looked out the window and saw that the midday sun would become dim when it arrived. The thick clouds above the city formed a continuous sheet, making it look like it was going to rain. In the northwest of Colombia, rain is an uncommon thing.
"We need to hurry into the city and get all the identification documents ready. Remember that we have three identities, professional consultants from the Columbia Saxon Detective Agency, special investigators from Rheinland Life, and special support teams from Rhode Island. Use whatever identity is useful."
In fact, the first two identities expired after leaving Saint Martin. Zhou Jinru later found two parties to renew them for a period of time, so they can still be used now.
Walton didn't have any objections. Columbia didn't want to see the Rust Belt. As long as Zhou Jinru didn't pull the Rust Belt flag to rebel, Rhode Island could be left alone to cause trouble for the integration movement.
Roberts had no idea. He was worried that he would not be able to get the frozen shares and would be thrown to the pole to feed penguins. He wished that Rhode Island would join in to disrupt the situation.
"Rhine Life's identity will be used first. Let's find Seria and the others first. According to the last information sent back by the secret clue, Helmer works in the research institute. Seria seems to be a physical education teacher in a school. Ifrit Go to that school."
Zhou Jinru looked through the documents. He had read this information countless times. Now that the person involved was close at hand, he felt particularly excited, but it was also accompanied by bigger questions.
Why did Ansuo and other Intelligence Department operatives suddenly lose contact?
"Doctor, don't worry. Ansuo is your clue master. He must be investigating something in depth, and he is temporarily unable to contact this ship."
Faced with Breeze's comfort, Zhou Jinru just nodded, his inner worries never calming down. From the moment he stepped into this city, his keen sense was being challenged all the time.
"My gut tells me something is bad here."
The mourner who was driving also said: "Me too, I feel very uneasy too."
"You may be too tired. You were the one driving all the way. You should take a good rest."
The Undertaker did not only drive but rest. After resting, he continued to drive. Zhou Jinru had no chance to touch the steering wheel even once.
The Undertaker pursed his lips: "Sister She Tuxi told me that your driving skills are very poor and you often crash."
When Zhou Jinru heard this, the veins on his forehead bulged, and he argued hard: "Guigui and I often crash because we are playing bumper cars on the lower deck of the ship, and she is often hit by me!"
"That was also a crash."
"Ah Mian! Do you understand the bumper car? This is an entertainment game. It is meant for collisions. If the bumper cars don't collide, then why don't I play dodgeball?!"
Zhou Jinru secretly vowed to take the Undertaker to have a good time and let him experience what it feels like to be hit and confused!
"Stop arguing, we are going into the city."
The slope of the road ahead gradually disappeared, and a huge roadblock blocked the front. They were the only car on the road, so it was particularly easy to pass.
Breeze looked back at Luka, which was twice the size of a regular building: "It's rare to see such a big Luka."
Zhou Jinru looked at the simple map: "Because we are taking the freight channel, this road was originally used by transport vehicles, and normal driving takes the road taken by the integration movement."
He rubbed his fingers on the map. The map was hand-drawn by an intelligence officer. There were some accuracy issues, but it was generally accurate.
"There is a train station in front of us, but it has been abandoned. The abandoned trains parked there now are temporary homes for homeless people."
"So our destination is the abandoned train version of the slums?"
Zhou Jinru shook his head: "No, the Intelligence Department's base is directly opposite the train station. There is a maintenance factory there, which usually repairs cars and occasionally repairs people."
"Cultivating people?"
Li felt a chill on his back.
Zhou Jinru grabbed his hair and recognized that the crooked fonts on the map were left by Ansuo. He said angrily: "They are indeed repairmen, because the maintenance factory also works part-time as a private clinic. Do you think they all repair with pliers and screwdrivers?" What's the matter? I'm not an Autobot..."
He looked at the two people written "Xiu Ren" on the map and said half-irritatedly: "In the future, An Suo's cultural course score must reach 'good' before she can go on missions. Ugly words will be ignored. If you write three wrong words in one sentence, If it doesn’t work, I’ll teach her myself.”
Breeze closed her eyes, Dr. Xin, don't you have something wrong with your handwriting? Your signature is crooked, and others who want to imitate your signature can't imitate it. In a sense, is it considered a kind of creativity?
The off-road vehicle was driving on the streets of Saint-Aral, and almost no pedestrians could be seen. Maybe it was working time. After all, the Rust Belt is the headquarters of mechanics.
Ten minutes later, the outline of the train station appeared in front of everyone's eyes. The rusty skeleton could still see its former grandeur. The gate that had not been repaired for a long time was in a dilapidated state. The train head parked on the abandoned railway track had long since disappeared. The carriages stretch one after another into the distance, and occasionally homeless people can be seen sticking their heads out.
The streets are deserted and the infrastructure is defective. The once glorious city is always showing its age.
"I heard that this land city was built on a mountain. The original Columbia flattened the hilltop to build the remaining city."
"But it's still abandoned by its country."
All the way to the maintenance factory, we found a young man wearing dark blue overalls sitting in front of the crowded factory. He was leaning against the door with his eyes closed, basking in the sun.
Zhou Jinru looked up and saw that most of the light and heat from the sun above his head was blocked by the clouds, and very little of it actually fell to the ground.
He opened the car door, stepped on the solid ground with his feet, and stretched his aching muscles.
"Hey, do you have 648 here?"
The young man who had been sitting on the ground opened his eyes and stared at the four people in front of him suspiciously: "First time coming to the store, double rebate on the 648 set meal."
Zhou Jinru looked strange: "With 648, I have hope again in my hands."
The young man slowly got up from the ground, took off the cigarette tucked behind his ear and held it in his mouth: "Follow me."
Li didn't understand why: "What kind of riddle are you trying to solve?"
Zhou Jinru said without changing his expression: "A brand new connection code."
Yet in his heart he greeted himself with all the greetings he could use.
He only thought of this when his brain was twitching. Fortunately, he didn't say the words "A real swordsman tower can't run away from the battlefield." It takes courage to say those words...
Well, I will change it in the future.
A group of four people followed the young man into the maintenance factory. The factory was filled with an unpleasant smell and discarded parts were piled everywhere. Only two maintenance points looked relatively clean.
They walked through the factory building, arrived at the office space at the back, and then passed through a door to the back of the private clinic.
Breeze suddenly realized: "So the maintenance factory and the private clinic are separated by a wall?!"
At this moment, the office door to their right cracked open, and the young man who brought them here indicated that they could enter.
Zhou Jinru thanked him solemnly: "Thank you."
"It is an honor to serve this ship."
The young man smiled shyly, then turned and left.
The Undertaker stepped in front of Zhou Jinru and pushed the door open with the butt of his gun. He found no danger, and his actions also alerted people in the office.
"who?!"
There are two sources of emotion in the office, one is stimulated and the other is in a stable state.
"It's us."
The mourner faced the muzzle of the gun in the opponent's hand, and did not let Zhou Jinru in until the opponent put down his weapon.
"You don't need to be so nervous if you're one of us."
Zhou Jinru stepped in and immediately saw Mei, the Victoria Royal Detective, Rhode Island sniper operator and intelligence department commissioner, standing at the door with a Taser in both hands.
"Ah, the doctor is here in person?"
The source of big mood swings is Mei, so is the other source of emotions Ansuo?
Zhou Jinru stood at the door and pointed to the door of the back room: "Is it convenient for me to go in and take a look?"
"It's convenient, it's so convenient. Fortunately, you guys are here. I really don't know what to do. I secretly ask her..."
Mei was anxious and tears flowed out unconsciously. It seemed that these days had really made her anxious.
"Okay, I get it. This is a gift for you. I have a lot more here."
Zhou Jinru grabbed a handful of fresh toffee from his pocket and stuffed it into Mei's hand, patted her shoulder gently, and motioned for the breeze behind him to follow.
He has been in the office for a few minutes, and has been using Fu to detect the source of emotions that are always calm. It seems that the emotional guidance has failed, and he can't arouse the other party's emotions. It seems that he is facing a thick layer of ice.
"Ansuo, I'm coming in."
Zhou Jinru didn't knock on the door, unscrewed the door handle, and walked in. This was a large-sized clinic with all kinds of medical equipment. Miss Carters was lying motionless on the hospital bed. She was skinny, with sunken eye sockets and purple hair. The long hair is no longer bright.
"I'll wait for you at the door."
Zhou Jinru turned around and came out, leaving the space to the more professional Breeze. He looked at Mei standing blankly at the door and asked, "What on earth happened to you here?"
Mei's eyes were red, and she was also confused: "I don't know. We came here together to investigate Ms. Seria and her relatives. After the investigation results were obtained, we patiently waited for the support of our ship. Suddenly, there was a clue. I don't know why. It was like she was a different person, she was always talking nonsense. I thought she didn't sleep well and she could recover after a good sleep. Who knew that she wouldn't be able to sleep anymore..."
Zhou Jinru squinted his eyes slightly and said patiently: "Remember Ansuo carefully and see if Ansuo has been in contact with anyone or eaten anything."
Although the possibility of Originium Disease occurring cannot be ruled out, it is almost impossible for such a thing to happen. When Rhodes Island dispatches operators, they will issue special drugs to the infected operators to suppress Originium Disease. Even Lapland Such critically ill infected patients can also temporarily suppress their illness.
After An Suo was washed several times, her infection level was greatly reduced and she could move freely without any problems. Coupled with the special medicine, Zhou Jinru believed that it was not an attack of Originium disease.
Mei couldn't figure it out, so Zhou Jinru had no choice but to write down the location where the secret lock last appeared. He would go to the scene later to check the situation.
At this moment, Wei Feng also completed her work and came out of the ward with a serious look on her face: "It can be confirmed that it is not Originium Disease. The infection level of the secret lock remains the same, but her consciousness fell into a dream."
"Dream?"
Zhou Jinru's tone changed slightly. He didn't realize it himself, but several operators around him heard it.
"It's not a coma, it's not a deep sleep. She is dreaming and cannot wake up from the dream."
"Can it be done through external stimulation?"
"No, unless you want a slightly demented operator."
Breeze's attitude was very strict on this kind of issue, and she directly rejected Zhou Jinru's idea.
"Is her situation similar to that of Wei Na?"
"I have no idea."
standard answer.
"school"
Zhou Jinru no longer embarrasses Mei because the result of the emotional detection was that she did not lie.
It was not that Mei had never thought about leaving Saint-Aral, but the condition of Ansuo made it impossible for her to confirm whether there would be any accidents on the way.
Zhou Jinru rubbed his face. He believed that it was necessary to have a medical operator in the team when dispatching operators to perform tasks.
"Tell me the specific location of Ceria and the others. I want to take a look."
Mei heard Zhou Jinru's request and said hesitantly: "Does the doctor want to contact them now?"
Zhou Jinru frowned: "Is there a problem?"
"Rheinland Life's research institute is under surveillance by local gang members. Dr. Hemmer has not been out for a long time. Ms. Seria has been told that he does not want to see her many times when she visits."
"Where's Ifrit?"
"She took a break from school and was with Dr. Hemmer."
No wonder Ceria wanted to visit regardless of the time. Besides Helmer, she also wanted to see Ifrit.
Zhou Jinru had a plan in his mind: "I can just see Seria and tell me the location of that school."
Mei then took out her notebook, scribbled down a line of words, tore it off and handed it to Zhou Jinru.
"Ah Mian, you stay here, you are the strongest, I believe you; Breeze take care of the hidden clues to see if you can find more clues; Li, let's go together and meet our old friends."
