Although the entire Arctic is always dark during the polar night, people in Black Swan Harbor still work and rest according to specific rules.
As night approached, Gu Bei stood on the top of the church steeple, looking down at the darkness below.
In the past few days, he has been moving around Black Swan Harbor every night. His flexible skills and a little bit of skills have allowed him to walk on flat ground when facing high walls and iron nets, and he can stand firmly even without any assistance. on top.
After a few days, not only was Gu Bei not discovered, but he had already figured out the topographic map of Black Swan Port.
Unfortunately, he still couldn't find the hiding place of the dragon bone, so he could only circle around in a certain area, looking for a way down.
It's not that Gu Bei can't use the Qimen to go directly through, but he doesn't know the situation underground. If he directly carries the eight doors in, what if it gets stuck in the rocks?
This is where space skills are bad.
Dilongyou is not good either. There is no direction underground and it is easy to get lost.
So the best way is to find the entrance to the passage.
In fact, Gu Bei also understood that he could not take away the items in the dream, he just wanted to take a look.
Although he has participated in killing dragons, he has never witnessed a complete remains of a great life like a dragon.
Of course, there was no gain at all. At least as for the location of the passage, Gu Bei had already made some guesses. The entrance was probably in Herzog's underground office.
However, since the alarm sounded that night, Herzog, an old thief, rarely left his office, and Bondarev's whereabouts were unknown.
Gu Bei understood that these two guys were planning how to evacuate Black Swan Port.
The alarm that day was dismissed by Herzog as a false alarm - but the blockade on the entrance and exit remained in place.
Rumors without evidence were also inexplicably spread in Black Swan Port, such as "The Lenin is coming soon" and "Project δ is about to be successfully completed", claiming that everyone can return to the warm capital of Moscow soon.
They claim that soldiers can be promoted in rank, nurses can get extra allowances, and children can go to big schools...
Just like the devil has thrown out a bait, ignorant and short-sighted humans are rushing to take the bait.
Nurses no longer need to carry out experiments frequently, and are more relaxed about daily inspections. They drink and play cards all night long; soldiers relax patrolling and standing guard, chatting together in twos and threes, imagining having a higher military rank. Later, they walked on the bustling street with their heads held high, and beautiful girls secretly looked at them with adoring eyes.
Sometimes when they were drunk, they would sing "Katyusha" loudly together. Herzog would not stop them when he saw them. Instead, he would chat with them with a smile and even take out some musical instruments to provide accompaniment.
The children are the happiest among them.
There are no more painful and annoying experiments, no need to be forced to control by the frightening banging sound from time to time, and no need to always be locked in a lifeless room; the average daily relaxation time has been reduced from the original half or one hour because the nurses are too lazy to watch. , turned into a whole noon or even afternoon.
They can lie on the lawn and bask in the sun all afternoon, chat with good friends for a long time, and have more contact with the girls/boys they like.
This life is simply heaven.
When everyone is dreaming about a rich and beautiful life in a big city after returning, the happiness and smiles on their faces are as bright as spring flowers.
However, Black Swan Harbor does not and cannot have flowers.
No other flowers could survive, and the only one left was the withered Arctic poppy, quietly waiting to resurrect in the ice and snow.
But not every withered Arctic poppy can meet Gu Bei.
The rest probably can only keep company with ice and snow, and in the end they either die quietly or are frozen in their beauty before death.
Ignorant people are paralyzed just because of a piece of unfounded news and an increase in the distribution of stocks of cigarettes, alcohol, meat and other supplies.
Such joy.
But the real insiders were standing behind the scenes, watching this different kind of comedy with the same joking smile. They are directors, so they know that everything in front of them is paving the way for the sudden tragedy and destruction in the end.
Whether human or hybrid, intelligent life is selfish.
Herzog can make plans with a smile, killing these people, devouring and sucking their value to strengthen himself, being insidious, cunning, and borrowing the rules and methods of dragons to think.
Bondarev can plan further, towards the throne of the world. He is more cunning than anyone else. With the help of all power and general trend, he is a real mad dragon in thought. Anyone who stands in his way will be defeated. Cleanly torn into pieces.
And who behind the two of them is manipulating all of this like a puppet?
Gu Bei didn't think that some being made him have this dream just to make him go to this cold place to watch a good show.
Although Gu Bei was not at a loss, it was meaningless.
"When life possesses intelligence, the struggle for strength becomes a ruthless trick, but the victims are always the same kind of people... It's really ironic."
Zero didn't know when he came out. He was riding a huge black snake. Besides him, there was a little girl holding a stuffed bear on the snake's back.
Zero made anti-human remarks, while Renata looked at Gu Bei with wide eyes.
This was the first time she saw Gu Bei's face.
When they first met, Gu Bei threatened her not to open her eyes and would kill her if she opened her eyes. Renata also obeyed and closed her eyes tightly.
The next few times we met, Gu Bei hid in the shadows. No one except Renata could notice him, and Renata couldn't see his face clearly.
Now she finally saw the boy's appearance.
The mysterious young man appeared on the top of the tower as light as defying gravity. He had a slender and well-proportioned figure, with shiny black hair lifted by the wind. He had a delicate Asian face and deep and pure black eyes.
Renata, who only saw middle-aged soldiers and ordinary orphanage children all day long, said that this man was really good-looking, and he also had an indescribable smell.
It feels a little better looking than size zero.
Zero touched his lips: "I don't know why I suddenly feel a strange sense of frustration..."
"Is it because my handsome face makes you handsome again?"
"I'd rather go back to room zero and be tied up for another night."
The two of them were bickering, and Renata was listening and felt that their relationship was much better than she imagined.
Gu Bei smiled and asked, "How does freedom taste?"
Zero's eyes darkened, and he pointed his finger at his head: "This is not true freedom."
Of course Gu Bei understood what No. 0 was talking about.
With the strength of No. 0, the defense force of Black Swan Port is basically useless. He can come and leave as he wants, but he still loses his freedom.
Because he is no longer himself.
This guy was arrested for some unknown reason, and then had a pontine interruption surgery.
This is an operation that all the "experimental subjects" in Black Swan Port need to undergo. The operation will divide the left and right brains into two independent hemispheres, each controlling a part of their thoughts and differentiating two different personalities.
Similarly, the "experimental subjects" who have undergone this surgery will have a backdoor set up by Herzog. Bangzisheng can easily control these "experimental subjects" through the backdoor, such as No. 0.
Logically speaking, the recovery power of the Dragon King level is super strong, and this kind of damage can be restored to the original state in minutes.
But what is very outrageous is that the two divided consciousnesses believe that they are the masters of the body and refuse to merge with the other self. The bloodline also recognizes that both thoughts are self, and believes that this is not an injury, but a normal phenomenon. So there is no tendency to heal.
The most outrageous thing is that even Gu Bei's hands couldn't detect the difference between the pons after the interruption and before the interruption, because the brain
Apart from connecting consciousness, the bridge itself has no use.
Therefore, if Gu Bei had not searched for the position of the pons with a clear goal, he would not have noticed this abnormality.
After understanding this, Gu Bei felt that he would carefully check Eriyi after returning to prevent any hidden dangers.
As for No. 0, who had undergone surgery, he was naturally capsized in the gutter. He could only look for opportunities to destroy Black Swan Harbor and prevent everything here from spreading. In this way, naturally no one knew that Bang Zi Sheng could control him.
The little girl Renata is one of the few "experimental subjects" in Black Swan Port who has not had her pons cut off. This is why Zero chose Renata as his assistant.
"No one can be truly free."
Gu Bei smiled, pointed his finger into the distance, and changed the subject: "Over there, 453 kilometers away, is the North Pole, and over there, 3781 kilometers away, is Moscow. The world is very big, and there are many people, but people No one is free."
The mighty wind blew under the feet, and the black snake swayed its body. Renata hugged Zorro tightly, the stuffed bear, and stared blankly to the north and south in the direction Gu Bei pointed. At this moment, Black Swan Harbor was Like the conquered hills at her feet, she stood high and overlooked the world, suddenly trembling slightly.
It turns out that she is so close to the pole of the earth, but so far away from the human world.
"I will take you there," Zero sat next to Renata, comforting the little girl, "Not only Moscow, we also want to go to China to see those colorful flowers, don't you think so?"
His last question was to Gu Bei, who nodded: "Ah, yes, yes."
Renata looked at Zero next to her, then looked at Gu Bei timidly, then opened the zipper on Zorro's back and took out the tin box for growing Arctic poppies.
The flower was a little wilted. In fact, it had withered a few days ago. But fortunately, the flower would not die. Gu Bei spent some effort to save it.
"Thanks."
Obviously, the little girl already knew about this. Of course, it was also possible that some little brat told him.
Gu Bei and Zero looked at each other, and Zero smiled. Gu Bei didn't speak, but just nodded.
"Tomorrow is Christmas Eve."
Number Zero said this without any beginning or end, and Gu Bei immediately understood what Number Zero meant.
It’s time to execute the plan.
But that didn't matter, because when he sneaked into the archives that day, he found an interesting piece of information.
Gu Bei looked at Renata. The little girl was obviously still a little scared. After all, Gu Bei was the one who wanted to kill her casually.
But what Gu Bei said next was unexpected to the little girl: "Do you have any wishes?"
Renata didn't understand why, so Gu Bei explained: "Christmas is your birthday, isn't it?"
The little girl then realized that it seemed that Zero had heard about this for the first time. He looked at Renata: "Your birthday is on Christmas, so what a coincidence... I mean, you have Is there anything you want?"
Renata believed in the abilities of these two people. Even Black Snake was Zero's pet, and Gu Bei could come and go freely even at Black Swan Port. What else could they not do?
But she thought for a long time and shook her head: "I don't want anything."
"What about wishes and stuff?"
"I want to go home, or...let me die."
Zero scratched his head: "Why do you want to die? If you die, I will have no friends here."
"But why should I live here? Day by day, it means nothing. Gradually, I feel that death is not scary, just like falling asleep."
Renata said softly: "If I die, my parents will not know, and no one will be sad, and no one will cry for me...Will you cry for me?"
Zero bared his teeth and said, "I won't cry. I cried too much before and I no longer have the ability to cry."
Gu Bei remained silent.
Renata doesn't understand the relationship between the two
Meaning, I thought that there was probably no need for them to cry for me. After all, I and Zero were just new friends. A person as capable as Zero would have other friends in the future. That bitch, open your mouth and shut up. The young man who was about to kill someone was even more unlikely. He and he had not spoken a few words.
"Don't die, Renata."
Zero hugged her and gently touched her long hair: "Let me tell you, this world is very interesting, and there are many things you have never seen or experienced. So don't die... stay alive... Those who stand in your way... deserve to die."
He spoke as he grinded his teeth to suck blood, but his voice was so nice and gentle.
Renata's heart trembled.
"Christmas... just in time," Gu Bei lowered his eyes, "I will give you a birthday gift."
"I haven't received a birthday present yet," Renata said happily. "A little thing would be nice."
"Well, a little thing," Gu Bei nodded, looking into the boundless white distance, "it's something called 'freedom' that everyone is born with but cannot reach. "
——
"A total of 128 iron cabinets of data and genetic samples have been transported to the Lenin through the halo."
"Twenty million U.S. dollars have been remitted to your account at Deutsche Bank. Now we only have the last and most important batch of materials left to transfer. In addition, it is how to blow up the Black Swan Port. We cannot leave any information to discover this People of ruins.”
Herzog spread out a huge blueprint on his office desk: "Black Swan Port has designed a complete destruction plan at the beginning of its establishment. In this plan, we will let the frozen ice with a thickness of tens of meters be destroyed." The soil collapsed completely, burying everything inside. This plan is called..."
""Death of the Swan". "
