The 3rd Combat Brigade of the 10th Mountain Division received an order a few days ago to move from its headquarters at Fort Drum to the Fort Dix military base in New Jersey, claiming that it was only a military exercise, and suddenly received an order for a surprise exercise in the early hours of yesterday morning, ordering the troops to rush to a small town on the outskirts of Camden City and surround the vicinity of Camden City together with other garrisons around it.
After listening to Paul's words, didn't the time when they were stationed at the Fort Dix military base coincide with the time when they were about to make a forced landing in Mexico?
There is no need to question that the U.S. government really has a traitor in Shangdu, and it can be determined from Paul's, but as for who it is and how to dig it out, it is not at all something they can do. Tang Shuxing thought about it and thought of the former CIA director Hawke. Hal, but now he doesn't know where he is.
At this moment, Tang Shuxing and the others in the office suddenly heard a burst of moaning from the opposite laboratory, and felt that something was wrong, leaving Gu Huaiyi to look at Paul and Michael temporarily, Tang Shuxing ran over, and as soon as he entered the room, he saw that Minas was injecting a young woman with drugs, the woman let out a strange moan, and her face was filled with an expression that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.
"What the are you doing!" Tang Shuxing roared, but he didn't dare to step forward and immediately pull Manas away, for fear that the needle would break in the woman's body.
The remaining four civilians watched from the sidelines. There was a kind of half-believing anticipation on their faces. Minas didn't answer at first, and after the injection was finished, he got up and said, "I'm injecting them with drugs that immunize the yellow mist, I'm saving them, and I'm saving myself, only a small amount, you know, a lot of it, it will kill immediately." β
Tang Shuxing raised his foot and kicked at Manas, who was hit by a kick. Fly straight out of the canopy and smash it on the opposite wall. He fainted without snorting, and the other 4 civilians who saw this scene immediately retreated to the corner and looked at Tang Shuxing with frightened eyes.
Tang Shuxing looked at the young woman who was slowly gasping on the ground, her body twitching at a very small frequency. Hurry up and check it out. But there was nothing he could do about it. This is the case after Zhilu Dao injected drugs.
"It's fine, the amount is small, and she can regain her senses in half an hour at most. This will be the case with the first IV. Ji Kefeng, who was standing at the door, stood there and said lightly.
Tang Shuxing got up and looked at Ji Kefeng, just when the other party was about to speak again, Tang Shuxing punched and kicked Ji Kefeng's cheek and abdomen respectively, knocking Ji Kefeng to the ground, and then walked to him and pointed at him and said, "Master Ji, do you fucking know your identity?" β
Ji Kefeng covered his stomach, touched his fist cheek again, and nodded: "I know the way." β
"You're a anti-narcotics cop, do you know what to do? You indulge people to take drugs! Just in front of you, let an addict stick his used pillow into another innocent girl's arm! Tang Shuxing leaned over to look at Ji Kefeng and pointed at the girl, "Look at her, how big is she?" 17 years old? 18 years old? Or 19 years old? She's just a kid! Just a kid! Have you really become a cold-blooded bastard! β
Ji Kefeng got up slowly, but he was not emotional: "You just asked me if I know my identity, let me tell you, I know Lu Dao, I used to be an anti-narcotics policeman, but then I was a criminal, what about now?" I am Huang Zhong, the controller of the Shandu Adaptation Zone. β
Tang Shuxing looked at Ji Kefeng's indifferent expression and frowned, "What? You repeat. β
Ji Kefeng patted the footprints left by Tang Shu's torture on the abdomen: "In the past, I kept reminding myself that when I was an anti-narcotics policeman, Gu Madman kept making me forget, and what we experienced together also made me slowly forget this fact, and I have been removed, now I am an internationally wanted criminal, I don't need to be caught alive, the kind that was killed on the spot, and, at this time, Interpol has been listed as a terrorist list, is this a fact?" β
Tang Shu was speechless, and could only look at Ji Kefeng.
Ji Kefeng slowly walked into the laboratory, grabbed the needle that had not broken on the ground, and looked at it: "Is the yellow fog outside caused by me?" No. Is it possible for drug addicts to be immune to the yellow fog? Perhaps, the probability is very high, at least it has been verified in Manas, and the last question ......"
Ji Kefeng turned around, raised the needle, looked at Tang Shuxing, and pointed to the four civilians standing in the corner trembling with the other hand: "You go and ask them yourself, are they willing to be killed by the yellow mist, or are they willing to live at the cost of taking drugs and hurting their bodies, and how long can they live?" β
Tang Shuxing turned his back to Ji Kefeng, looking at Gu Huaiyi, Paul and Michael at the door of the office opposite, but his eyes were a little blurry.
"Hey, are you willing to live?" Ji Kefeng asked the 4 people in the corner loudly, and the 4 of them quickly nodded together, nodding vigorously, and the frequency was very fast.
"You hear me." Ji Kefeng walked up to Tang Shuxing again and picked up the needle, "So, I'm not an anti-narcotics policeman, but I'm not a good person, nor a bad person, I don't know how to define myself, but you said, they are human beings, they are living people, if you want to save them, how to save them?" The three of us are monsters and are immune, but what about them? If the yellow fog doesn't go away, the government will abandon the city, and you will let them stay here and die? Who is cold-blooded? I? Or are you? β
ββ¦β¦ They're going to die eventually. Tang Shuxing said in a low voice, "You and I both know what the consequences of drug abuse are. β
"Do you know what cancer patients need to do with chemotherapy? Do you have to do such painful chemotherapy? Ji Kefeng glared at Tang Shuxing, "It's just because they want to live in this world for a day, even if it's half a day, a few hours, a few minutes...... Look at the smiling faces of your family a few more times, eat with them, chat about interesting things in life, this is the price of survival, you also saw it in Astaya, you saw what those refugees did to survive, people eat people. Eating those decaying corpses! Although it is not a century ago, people will still do anything to survive, because there is no extra choice at all! β
Tang Shuxing turned to look at the girl, the girl's pupils slowly narrowed to normal, her arms began to move, the previous weak breathing rate became faster, and the curled up body slowly unfolded againβthis time the performance of a first-time intravenous drug user, except for bystanders, she herself was not aware of what she was doing.
People who don't use drugs simply can't imagine what it feels like when a drug enters the human body β the early, middle and deep stages of addiction. Whether it's caine or ice. MDMA and other drugs. Aside from the intravenous injection, you'll get pleasure from your first intake and your self-confidence will be so much boosted that you'll consider yourself the king of the world. He is still a man whose heart is full of all love.
At the end of the first time you'll think it's good. Very peaceful. At the same time, the body and mind are happy, and even looking at those drugs, they will laugh and say, "Damn, this is drugs?" Nothing! β
Then you have the thought that "the dangers of drugs advertised are all farting" in your head. You will think that drugs are the best things in the world, and you will even think that the people who invented and sold drugs are great men, and future generations should build memorials for them to commemorate their great achievements.
When you wake up the next day, you don't seem to have any damage to your body, and you don't have any discomfort in your head or body, and you start to reminisce about the feeling of taking drugs yesterday. You'll feel that this kind of thing is too cost-effective, and you can make yourself cool once with just a little money, and at the same time, you are awake earlier than usual this morning, and you are full of energy, you don't feel the pressure of life, and you won't be irritable in the face of depressed work.
Step by step, you start to like drugs because they can make everything ugly in front of you beautiful, even if you see a piece of, you think it's kind, you think you're related to that piece of, and even rack your brains to write a hymn for a disgusting piece of.
Yes, at that time you are already lost, you can't help yourself, you will think that the days before you take drugs are illusions, and everything you experience after taking drugs will be seen as normal life. So, you have to keep smoking to make yourself hopeful about the world, and at the same time, you will find that the little bit of drugs you used before will not make you feel good anymore, you have to spend several times the price to buy more drugs to last, each time you spend more money, and then start trying to inject drugs into your bloodstream.
You've fallen into it completely, you may know it, but there's nothing you can do, because you still have money in your hands, you start not working and not going to work, you use all your poor savings to buy drugs, then you sell your goods, then you sell your car and your house, and then you go into debt, and the friends around you who are not in the drug addiction circle are all avoiding you like a plague god.
At this time, you can do things that you never dared to do before for drugs, you dare to go out and rob the streets, you can sell your body for drugs, and do all the evil things that can be exchanged for drugs.
Finally, you know that you must quit drugs, because you have nothing left, even your body no longer belongs to you, your desire to survive has finally begun to awaken, and you tell yourself that you must live!
You hide in a dark corner where you think no one knows what to do, with a headache, runny nose and chest tightness, like you are crawling on by ants, begging for the pity of others in exchange for some sedative-hypnotic pills like zopiclone to fall asleep, even if you can only sleep for a pitiful few hours.
You are as thin as a dried corpse, your fingers have become dry bamboo, your fingerprints are stretched like turtle lines, and your mouth is full of ulcers that make it difficult for you to breathe, no matter how much you take vitamin B2 and other auxiliary drugs do not work, and your tongue will crack, and sooner or later you will become a snake hyacinth.
When you are taking drugs, you are cut by something and you don't feel anything, and when someone touches you, you will scream as if you have been burned by a soldering iron, let out a roar like killing pigs, jump around, roll all over the ground, and collapse to the ground like a puddle of mud.
If you don't completely leave the old drug addiction circle at this time, it will only be a matter of the next second. The only way you can do it is to take what you have β your mutilated body and your broken soul trying to keep it from pouring out β and escape this place to an environment where no one knows you and you are absolutely unfamiliar.
Of course, there are very few detoxifiers who can do this.
Because, as it has been proven, real drug addicts are almost non-existent.
This is the tragic consequences that drugs will bring to people, Tang Shu knows the Dao, Ji Kefeng also knows the Dao, in fact, everyone here knows the Dao.
But Ji Kefeng, a person who once hated drugs so much and wanted to kill all the drug dealers in the world, will now become like this!? Let an addict stick a needle in an innocent person's arm.
Ji Kefeng only thinks that drugs can save people now, just like giving chemotherapy to patients with terminal cancer, and at the same time doing chemotherapy, desperately injecting them with analgesic Demerol.
At this time, the people in this room have no idea what to do, and many people in other neighborhoods of Camden City have also discovered the cruel fact that drug addicts will not be turned into suicide bombs by the yellow mist. Even so, a large number of people joined the ranks of drug addicts in order to survive, and as a result, drug dealers with drug stocks in their hands began to dominate the city - a place where drugs were sold became a kingdom, and the drug dealers who controlled it became a dictatorship.
Those bastards open their doors, open their arms, and show hypocritical smiles, welcoming those who want to live into their territory, but those who must exchange what is useful in their hands for the qualification to take drugs, turning themselves into the king's personal slaves.
In an old-fashioned building just outside the cemetery park, a drug dealer sat on his couch stuffed with drugs, hugging four or five naked beautiful girls in front of him, who used to hate drugs so much that they broke up with their boyfriends because of drugs, and now he not only took drugs in order to survive, but also laughed and screamed softly to let the "king" trample on everything.
The drug dealer held the jar of urine next to him aloft, and the girls and the addicts around him watched greedily, not at the urine jar, but at the bag of drugs in the palm of his hand - they now not only wanted to live, but they needed it to numb themselves and keep themselves in the illusion of happiness.
"Human beings are so stupidβ" Gu Huaiyi, who was standing at the door of the office and watching everything that happened on the other side, repeated what he had said not long ago, but this time he did not have a contemptuous smile on his face, on the contrary, his eyes were hazy with tears, like everything he experienced in his childhood in the Golden Triangle.
These scenes were too familiar to him, and if the yellow mist continued to spread, what he saw would only be a microcosm of the future realm.
"You also have the right to live." Ji Kefeng looked at Paul and Michael standing at the door of the office.
Paul and Michael shook their heads and sat down again.
"My brother died of drugs." Without looking up, Paul said, "So, I'd rather be killed by the Yellow Fog right now." β
"I'd rather be killed by Yellow Mist because I used to be an anti-narcotics policeman." Michael looked at the girl on the floor opposite, "It's just that I don't understand, we went through a lot of dangers to come to this shelter, but we didn't expect to jump from the hands of one Grim Reaper into the scythe of another. β
"Who understands?" Ji Kefeng smiled unexpectedly, "The President of the United States doesn't understand either, does he?" (To be continued......)
