ACT 259: Cruel Moonshine
ACT259: Cruel Moonshine
The cold moon hangs high, and the Gobi is a lonely city.
In a secluded street beyond the high walls of the original launch base, two gray and old buildings stand in front of it, which is the former site of the command center accommodation area, adjacent to the new headquarters base, and the two heavily guarded security nets in the middle are separated from the front and back, leaving only a very inconspicuous passage in and out.
The old building has not been demolished, and it is located in a location that can be used to renovate the newly built cottage Helenkiemsee Palace, as the heart of the area, where most of Kenny's real team are gathered, relying on the convenient transportation environment, no matter where there is a situation before and after the lonely city, you can arrive in time and quickly to support.
Caroline wandered around the city with her return party all day, and returned to the city in the evening, which was much more depressed than the bright lights of the city center, with the towers and vertical test plants towering in the night against them, and the faint lights from the windows added a bit of mystery to the place.
The team entered the old building through the internal passage, there was no imaginary guard post, and a group of field staff were also very relaxed, as if they were returning home, Caroline briefly explained a few words, and the team dispersed, going upstairs and downstairs to their own independent space.
Caroline took Ninth Sister and Yu'an to the third floor, walked through the unlit corridor, and opened an old security door in the middle.
"You live here?" What she heard and saw during the day brought Yu An a great shock, she originally thought that a person with the status of a blonde girl would have a more luxurious personal residence, but she never thought that it was an ordinary house, from the exterior to the interior, there was no difference from the island stilted building.
Caroline smiled and nodded, walked through the small living room, turned on all the lights inside and out, and stood in the middle of the living room and spread her hands: "It seems that you are not very happy with my accommodation. ”
The old-fashioned residential building has a small layout, one bedroom and one living room, a bathroom at the entrance, no kitchen utensils in the kitchen, and a variety of firearms and weapons neatly stacked on the stainless steel desk, which is completely a small arsenal; The living room is also very simple, with an ordinary sofa against the wall, a carpet in front of the sofa, no dining table, no TV cabinet, a wooden wardrobe in the corner, the cabinet door is ajar, there are several sets of field combat uniforms hanging inside, and there are dirty clothes baskets on the ground, which are piled up with many unopened underwear.
The bedroom door is closed, and Yu An can't see it, but judging from the situation in the kitchen and living room, the interior of the bedroom can also be guessed.
"A temporary resting place." Caroline pursed her lips, not caring about the strange eyes of the two girls, after returning to the "home", the whole person seemed to have changed a state, took off her dusty coat and threw it on the ground, walked to the bathroom to turn on the old-fashioned water heater, and winked at the two girls: "Do you want to take a bath together?" ”
Yu An turned his head and glanced at the bathroom, the sink and squatting toilet took up most of the space, the shower head was faintly stained with rust, and the white tiles on the wall were old and dim, reflecting the dim light, and it didn't look like it could accommodate three people to take a bath.
"Here..."The ninth sister swallowed her saliva, the disappointment in her eyes could not be hidden, and muttered, "It's better than where we live." ”
Caroline didn't care, unloaded the knife and gun on her body and put it into the kitchen, and when she came out, she closed the sliding door with her backhand.
"If you want to take a shower, you can wait for a while, I don't have anything to eat or drink here, so I don't have to think about anything else." Caroline was now completely a stingy homely figure, wearing a small vest, sitting cross-legged on the sofa with two long bare legs, and pointed to the bedroom behind her: "You can sleep in it." ”
"What about you?" The ninth sister asked.
"Of course, I slept in it." Caroline curled the corners of her mouth and smiled, waving her hand at Yu'an: "You come here." ”
Yu'an was stunned for a moment, and then walked over, since getting out of the car, Caroline has lifted the shackles on her body, and has taken food and drink to go shopping during the day, without any defense, and I don't know what she is thinking.
The ninth sister's stomach gurgled a few times at the right time, her face turned red, and she rushed into the bathroom with her stomach covered.
"Do you have a lot of questions for me?" Caroline beckoned Yu An to sit beside her, with an inexplicable smile on her face.
Yu An didn't pick up, although he was shocked by what he saw during the day, but he didn't have much curiosity, when he was with Song Jiu, he could often hear them talking about the RCA in the past, thinking of the strange appearance of the foreign girl's former partner at that time, and then looking at this lonely city, it seems that there is nothing to make a fuss about, after all, their boss single-handedly caused today's chaos, and it is not so unimaginable to make such a move.
"My mission is to bring you back, and tomorrow I will send you to the lab, and the rest has nothing to do with me." Caroline didn't seem to intend to listen to her opinion, and said to herself: "Before the handover, I want you to see the city and let you know that this is the real starting point." ”
"I don't understand." Yu An sighed softly, and his tone was full of loneliness: "What does all this have to do with us?" What does it have to do with your gratuitous killings? ”
"It's okay." Caroline shrugged her shoulders and said nonchalantly, "Maybe it's just your luck isn't good enough." ”
The blonde girl didn't feel any guilt about what she had done, and she didn't even bother to explain anything, as she herself said, killing people and setting fires was just something she needed to do to complete her mission, and no other reason was needed.
"Survival of the fittest, the law of nature." Caroline reclined on the back of the sofa, her fingers twisting and playing with Yu An's long hair, and said softly, "You people can live to this day, you should understand this truth." ”
Yu An was speechless, there was no common language between her and the foreign girl, the two of them were not in the same world at all, and it was useless to say it.
The living room fell silent, and the two women had their own thoughts, and they seemed to be interested in talking.
After a long time, a trace of inexplicability flashed in Caroline's eyes, and she said casually: "The gun in the kitchen has no bullets, you don't have to think about it." ”
Yu An's face changed slightly, his eyes were a little unnatural, don't turn his face and ignore the foreign girl.
"I know what you're thinking, advise you not to do it." Caroline teased, mockingly, "Tonight may be your last good sleep, don't waste your chance." ”
"Why did you arrest me?" Yu An turned his head to look at the foreign girl, and said lightly: "You said that you went to the laboratory." ”
"It seems that you don't know what makes you special." Caroline raised an eyebrow and said, "Someone will tell you." ”
"What about Yinuo? Is she the special person you're talking about? Yu An held back this sentence for a long time, she knew that the foreign girl would not tell her, maybe she didn't know who Yinuo was, but Yu An still asked, the girl who brought her ginger soup on a cold rainy night had been missing for a long time, although she was too busy to take care of herself, she still wanted to try to ask.
Sure enough, Caroline's expression was slightly stunned, and she said strangely: "Yinuo? ”
"You were the one who attacked the ancient city roundabout, I know." Speaking of new hatred and old hatred, Yu An'an's resentment rekindled again, restrained his emotions, gritted his teeth and said: "You ruined the roundabout, killed so many people, and took away our companions. ”
"Oh, that girl!" Caroline called out in delight, as if the two were talking about a mutual friend, not a question from the victim.
"I remember her, it turns out that her name is Yinuo." Caroline clapped her hands with a smile and said, "She's still alive, but you shouldn't get a chance to see her." ”
"She's still alive?" Yu An's heart chuckled, and he didn't know whether he was happy or sad.
"Of course." Caroline nodded firmly, suddenly changed her tone, and asked, "What is the relationship between you and Wu Wentao?" Lover? ”
Yu An was stunned, not knowing why she suddenly asked this question, and replied casually: "No, it's just a companion." As soon as the words came out, Yu An faintly felt that something was wrong, and she saw that the girl's expression had obviously changed.
"When did he hang out with you?" Caroline's eyes narrowed slightly, and her tone became a little cold.
Yu An felt speechless and realized that he had said something he shouldn't have said, so he shut up and said no more.
Caroline sneered, shook her head, got up and put on her clothes, "It looks like you're going to miss out on one last sweet dream." ”
……
In the wee hours of the morning, as the hustle and bustle of the city calmed down, heavy off-road vehicles drove out of the former command center, through two blockades, and slowly into the heart of the launch base.
A few minutes later, the off-road vehicle stopped in front of the gate of the cottage lake palace, and Caroline, dressed in a strong suit, jumped out of the car, turned around and explained a few words to the driver, and ran towards the main gate behind the garden landscape.
The hall was already filled with the smell of incense, old records were melodious and graceful, and the notes were entangled with green smoke, mixed with the curtains and gauze tents to form a fairyland.
Caroline pushed open the two carved doors, the hall was brightly lit, and there were two Caucasus bloodlines wandering in front of the porch, seeing the stranger pushing the door in, the fierce dog whined and roared in his throat, his fangs were bared, and he rolled his eyes, he hadn't been here for a long time, but he didn't expect Kenny to have a dog in a leisurely and elegant manner.
The door of the inner hall was half-closed, the beaded curtains flickered with warm lights, the figure in the door swayed, and the man sat behind the mahogany table, meticulously twisting the mixed element Rubik's Cube, looking focused, as if he had not noticed Caroline at the door.
Caroline frowned slightly, swept through the inner hall, and did not see Su Lan's figure, a bird that could not be named jumped in the birdcage hanging by the wall, and a thick file of documents was piled up on the mahogany square table, and in the middle was an open metal box, in which were embedded several liquid test tubes that were constantly circulating.
"Come in." Kenny didn't raise his head, all his attention was on the toy in his hand, his slender fingers flew up and down, piecing together various colors, and said lightly: "Welcome home." ”
Caroline was quite helpless, pulled out the chair and sat down, twisted her eyebrows to see him play seriously, and muttered, "Are you bored to this point?" ”
"Huh?" Kenny lifted his eyelids, tugged at the corners of his mouth and smiled, "Keep your mind sharp." ”
"The antibodies are back." Caroline has become numb to her boss's changing preferences over the years, skipping meaningless answers and starting her work report directly: "Do you want to send it to Professor Yang?" ”
"No, just leave it to the lab." Kenny frowned slightly, staring at the one that had completed one-third of the Rubik's Cube in his hand, his expression was a little depressed, he thought for a long time, and said, "Level secret, don't tell Professor Yang." ”
"Okay." Although I didn't understand Kenny's intentions, but the boss's words were holy decrees, just do it, paused, and said, "Then don't you need to notify the research room to prepare for follow-up?" If antibodies do exist, should we start developing a vaccine? ”
"No, I don't." Kenny was a little annoyed, he had already done it once, why did he seem to be stuck somewhere the second time, and seemed to have forgotten a crucial step.
Caroline was anxious, as it had become more and more time-consuming to talk to Kenny since she had found a new hobby.
After a while, Kenny finally remembered the mistake, a smile appeared on his face, and his fingers began to fly again, and at the same time replied: "If the antibody exists, destroy it immediately, and you will execute it yourself." ”
"Huh?" Caroline was stunned, as if she didn't understand the boss's words, and hesitated: "Destroy? ”
"Yes, destroy." Kenny nodded.
"But ......"
"Nothing, just do it."
"Got it." Caroline was puzzled, if it was to be destroyed, then why bother to bring it back?
"Is there anything else?" Kenny noticed that his subordinates were sitting still, and he was a little impatient in his words.
"Yes." Caroline glanced at him secretly, and said word by word: "I have news of Wen Tao." ”
"What?" Kenny's hand froze, and finally raised his head and asked, "Where is he?" ”
