The Grey Age Chapter Ninety-Seven: Jason's Invitation
() "Qi Mo, I'll take a look... Paula & Co. researcher? Another employee of Paula's Company? Are you in a group? But the researchers aren't of much use right now, are they? It seems that you will have to work as a mobile laborer in the station. ”
Brother Xiao looked at my information, muttered for a long time, and finally assigned me such a task.
"That.. Let me ask, what does it mean to be mobile? ”
I asked Brother Xiao very suspiciously.
"It's hard to say it's called coolie, but if it's good, you're just a brick, and you can move it wherever you need it."
Brother Xiao didn't even lift his eyelids, and clearly explained to me what "mobile labor" meant.
"Huh? Aren't you mistaken? I'm a researcher, even if I get a clerical job! Doesn't that trick people? ”
I was completely panicked. Last night's fears finally came true.
"It's a blessing that you're still alive now, there are more than 10,000 people in the epidemic prevention station, and there are 9,500 people who have never worked as coolies before, what doctorates, masters, oh yes, and academicians, they have worked as coolies? If you want to survive, you have to make some changes. Besides, the epidemic prevention station is so safe, and it is natural to work to have food to eat, is it possible that the station still raises you for nothing? ”
Brother Xiao looked at me with disdain.
"That.. Can I join the patrol? Or a material search team! ”
For me, who has experienced so many dangers, it is unacceptable for me to work as a coolie in a comfortable life, and it is better to search for some dangerous materials!
"Nope."
Brother Xiao rejected me succinctly.
"Why? Is it because you are ready to register? ”
I'm in a hurry this time.
"Uh... When I explained to you just now, my elbow accidentally touched the confirmation button, and it has been registered.. I'm really sorry. ”
Brother Xiao looked embarrassed, and finally made amends to me...
Isn't it useful to pay compensation? Haven't I become that "mobile laborer" anymore?! Turned into a brick mover in the apocalypse?!
"You.."
I was so angry that I couldn't speak.
"Eh, it's okay, it's okay, it's a big deal, I'll find more food and drink outside, I'll support you!"
Dabin came over and patted me on the shoulder, with a look of sympathy. But judging by the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, it was clear that this guy was mocking me.
"Get out!"
I immediately yelled. But it still couldn't dispel the anger in my heart.
"Jingle bell bell..."
Just when I wanted to continue pestering Brother Xiao to change my job, the bell at the door of the bar rang again. Someone seems to have come in again.
"Mr. Qi, hello."
The visitor was wearing a black suit, and the suit was spotless. Under his feet were a pair of dark and shiny leather shoes, a dark blue tie was tied around his neck, a pair of gold-rimmed glasses were firmly attached to the bridge of his nose, and under the transparent lenses were a pair of pale blue pupils. The half-length oily pale blonde hair is neatly carried behind the head, and he wears a delicate Patek Philippe mechanical watch on his left wrist, which is very elegant. The whole person has the meaning of a beautiful man.
He was holding out his right hand and trying to shake my hand. But why is this man so familiar? Have I seen him anywhere? Also, how would he know my surname is Qi?
"Hello, who are you?"
I was puzzled, but out of politeness, I reached out and shook him.
"I'm Jason, it's the first time we've met, and it's a great honor to meet here."
Jason said to me with a smile. He was really very respectful and didn't show the slightest hint of artificiality.
"You.. Okay."
My heart was shaken. Jason? I remember! At that time, there was a chemical gas leak in the foreign branch of Paula, and it was he who knocked on my dormitory door and took away the project report of the "multi-species gene mixing" research project! However, his phrase "meeting for the first time" made me very confused. It shouldn't be! How long has it been? We only met about twenty days ago, so how could it be the first time we met?
"I'm here to ask Mr. Qi for your help on behalf of Paula's company. Of course, we will provide the appropriate living conditions. ”
Jason explained his intentions directly.
"Looking for my help? How can it help? Moving bricks? Or sawn wood? ”
When I heard that Jason had come to ask me for help, I couldn't help but get angry. I am still indignant about the addition of "mobile labor" just now.
"I'm sorry on behalf of the Survivors' Shelter, he doesn't know how important you are to us."
Jason didn't listen to my tone, but he didn't do anything, he still had that kind smile.
"Paula Company. Is there anything I can help with now? Haven't I already done what I need to do? The documents are not with me or anything. ”
It was only when the anger gradually dissipated that I began to think rationally, and finally mentioned without leaving a trace that the fragment of the report "multi-species genetic mixing" was not in my hand, and wanted to see how he reacted.
Because I always feel that the "Jason" in front of me seems to be a little different from the "Jason" I met for the first time. As for what is different, I can't say for the time being.
"Mr. Qi, Miss Maggie, please take a step to speak."
Sure enough, when I mentioned the word "report", this Jason didn't react, and still looked at me with a smile as before, it seems that there is a big problem in this!
Jason didn't seem to want anyone who had nothing to do with the matter to hear the conversation from our house, and after giving Brother Xiao another look, Brother Xiao led us into a small room, which looked like a small warehouse. Then he closed the door again.
"Tell me, what's going on. I'll be blunt, if I am asked to help the abuse, don't talk about it. As for who is the 纣, I think you should be clear. ”
At this time, there is no more forbearance, just to live. For me, it is important to be alive, but the dignity of a scientist cannot be desecrated! This is non-negotiable. In contrast, I'd rather move bricks!
"I think you may have misunderstood, this time I want to invite you to participate in the research of infectious viruses in the center tower of our Paula company, you are the leader of the "multi-species gene mix" scientific research project, and the current research has encountered great resistance, so the company's senior management would like to ask you to help us, help the living humans, and save the world! ”
Jason's face finally changed, no longer smiling faintly like before, but looking at me very solemnly, pleading with me.
"This..."
I hesitated. Although I had already thought about it, no matter what, I would have to dissociate myself from Paula's company, and if it was even possible, I wanted to take the general to kill all their initiators, and give justice to those who died tragically! However, the Jason in front of him does not seem to have the unique indifference of the insiders of Paula's company, that is, the indifference of being indifferent to everything and only caring about his own plans. It shook my heart. After all, his last sentence "save the world" spoke to my heart, isn't this exactly the original intention and mission of my bioengineering researcher?
"Please!"
Seeing that I had been hesitating, Jason finally bowed deeply to me.
"Okay, okay, don't be like this, I was just thinking about it just now, now that I've thought about it clearly, I choose to join!"
Seeing Jason act like this, I couldn't stand it anymore. Actually, it doesn't have much to do with him, I just want to give an explanation to my scientific research projects and the countless humans who have been invaded by mutated cells.
"Thank you! Mr. Qi! You may think I'm going too far, but all I can say is, I can't help myself! ”
In addition to thanking me, Jason said this puzzling sentence.
"Okay, now you can go with me to the center tower to take up a post, we will arrange a place for you to live first, you can rest before joining the company."
Jason told me about the next schedule.
"Okay, what about her?"
I answered, and then pointed to Maggie beside me.
"Oh, Miss Maggie and you should be in a relationship, and she's still from the Spark group. If you don't mind, you can arrange for the two of you to rest in the same room. ”
Jason had already prepared a set of rhetoric.
"I still have to go to boarding school, and the general is still waiting for me in the dormitory."
I make one last request.
"No problem, I can wait for you here."
Jason agreed without the slightest hesitation.
"What, you have other work to do?"
Dabin was the first to ask me when he saw us coming out of the warehouse.
"Well, I'll probably have to go to the central tower for a while, it's okay, I'll be out soon, maybe I'll have to move bricks then."
When I said the words "moving bricks", my eyes were fixed on Brother Xiao, a rough sissy.
"Mr. Jason, that... His job is locked and I don't have permission to change it, you see? ”
Brother Xiao's eunuch movement squeezed out of his throat.
"You don't have to worry about it. Leave it to me to handle. ”
It seemed that the door of the warehouse was a clear dividing line. Since Jason came out of the warehouse, he has reverted to his previous calm appearance, as if he has forgotten what he had just done.
"Mr. Qi, please hurry up, I'm in a hurry."
Jason said to me in a flat tone, as if he had changed as a different person, and I was confused.
"Okay, then Maggie and I will take the general and the cerebellar axe into the central tower first, and you can live well outside. Dabin, pay attention to Ann and take care of Fei Fei. Old Gai, you too. ”
Before I left, I said something nice to the crowd that was.
"Got it, go ahead."
Dabin still looked like a hanger, and Gai Qingxuan nodded at me.
Take Maggie back to the boarding school and come to Zhang Xuhui's dormitory.
"Wang!"
As soon as I pushed the door open, the general got up from the ground and pounced on me with a gleeful grin.
"Okay, okay, missed me, right? Let's go, your dad and I'll take you to a good place. ”
Holding the general and touching its head, I chattered to it.
The cerebellar axe never moved, still sleeping on the general's back. When I came back, I just rolled my eyelids and went back to sleep.
"Maggie, grab the things, let's go."
I picked up my backpack on the bed and turned to walk out. Although there is nothing valuable in the backpack, after all, it followed me all the way from Mukden to the capital epidemic prevention station, so I must take it wherever I go.
