"Ciel, what's wrong with you?" When Kim came out of the shower room, she saw Hill sitting on the bench with a bad face, and she asked with concern, "Is it uncomfortable?" ”

"I'm fine," Ciel shook his head, adjusting his mood, "Let's go back and change our clothes, we'll go to dinner later." When I met Jason just now, he said that he had something important to announce in the evening. ”

"Jason has been here?" Kim was a little surprised, Jason has rarely appeared lately, and I remember the last time I saw him, it was in the shooting training room at the base.

"He rejected my kindness again," Hill sighed and smiled helplessly at Kim, "I feel like an old girl who can't be sent out." ”

"Is he a man after all," Kim felt sorry for Hill, "such a big beauty has to refuse to send it to the door, and if you want me to say, will he be GAY?" ”

"Probably not, I saw in his eyes what a man should think," Hill said, "but I don't know why he rejected me in the end, is it because I'm not attractive enough?" ”

Hill said, feeling sad in his heart: "When I saw Adams fooling around with Lily behind my back, I thought that men like girls who take the initiative, and I tried to make myself more active and more feminine, but it didn't attract the people I cared about. ”

"Jason also has a heavy burden on his shoulders, and the safety of so many people in the base is tied to him, maybe he is also strictly restraining himself." Kim comforted, "As the de facto leader here, he needs to use his own actions to restrain his subordinates. ”

"I'm worried, you know?" Hill took Kim's hand, and she looked around and saw that there was no one else around before continuing, "You noticed that the soldiers here are not, I can feel that Jason is much less binding on them than when he first came, and if this continues, we will be in danger." ”

"Aren't they supposed to protect us because they're soldiers? Our danger comes mainly from outside the base, from the mutated monsters. ”

"You're wrong, Kim." Hill said calmly, "After the disaster, the most terrifying thing is not those monsters, but human beings themselves. I'm scared that if we lose control here, we'll end up dead by then. ”

"That's why you're in a hurry to get close to Jason?" Kim asked, and she began to appreciate Ciel's anxiety.

"I don't deny that there is a reason, but it is not all so, and I approached him because of his temperament." Ciel and Kim had already walked back into the room, she closed the door behind her, and then walked over to the bed and sat down, "I think we should find some time to walk around the scientists, maybe we can hear something from their mouths." ”

"Well, you're right," Kim nodded, "I've been in contact with Dr. Martin before, and I think she's a very powerful woman. ”

"Their head seems to be called Mario," Hill said after a moment's thought, "and they're all elites at the top of the country." ”

"Can these scientists really save the world?" Kim looked out the window, where it was still grayish and white reinforced concrete, and there was no green in sight of the entire base except for clothing.

"Hope can only be pinned on them," Hill said, "and it won't work on soldiers like Jason." ”

"Why?" Kim didn't quite understand what Hill meant, and she looked at Hill with a confused look.

"Soldiers can only destroy, they can't make the world reborn," Hill seemed to have understood a lot of things during the time she came to the base, and her words also made Kim understand that the future is still very cruel to mankind.

"I wonder what happened to the rest of the world," Kim sat down on the bed and began to diverge his thoughts, "In that mysterious country on the other side of the world, will the people there use their ancient secret techniques to destroy these monsters?" ”

"You've watched too many movies," Hill smiled, "the mysterious power from the East will only appear in the movies, and maybe the people in that country are just like you at this moment, sitting in bed and fantasizing that the people of our country have left the earth in a spaceship and are heading to another planet suitable for human habitation." ”

As soon as Hill finished speaking, the two of them sat down on the bed together and laughed.

In another room, Martin was staring intently at the computer screen, the ever-changing text reflected in the lenses of her glasses, the room was not lit, and the light inside was a little dim at this point in time.

Martin didn't even know that someone was pushing the door in.

"If it weren't for your unlocked door, I thought you wouldn't be in the house anymore," Mario walked in with two cups of coffee, placing one of them on Martin's table, then standing behind her and starting to stare at the information on the screen.

"Instant?" Martin didn't look back, she sniffed the scent of coffee in the air, and her fingers continued to tap on the keyboard at a rapid pace.

"Of course, we can only find such goods in the base, so let's just take a look," Mario took a sip of the coffee in his hand, "The taste is rougher, and it's better than nothing." ”

Martin also took a sip of her coffee, and when she first reached her mouth, her first instinct was to spit it out. The taste of this instant coffee is very different from freshly ground coffee, and strictly speaking, instant coffee can only be regarded as a coffee-flavored drink. Moreover, the coffee stored in the base is for soldiers to drink, and it is heavier in taste.

Martin finally swallowed the coffee in his mouth, and Mario said that this quality was the only coffee that could be found in the base, so he had to drink it.

"Thank you, Mario," Martin said, as he put his glass down, as he continued to tap on his keyboard, "it does taste good for these soldiers." ”

"I've just convinced Jason that he's finally willing to transfer," Mario stared at Martin's screen, some of the information displayed on it began to draw him in, "this place is like a cage that traps us here and leaves us unable to do anything. ”

"It's not like I can't do anything," Martin said with a smile as he turned his head and pushed the glasses on his nose, "I've been tracking that guy all these days." ”

"It seems that you have already gained," Mario asked, "why would you be interested in Sue, the predecessor of Gipsy?" ”

"Because the guy was interested here, I followed his tracks," Martin said, "and the samples I've collected during this time show that this mysterious man's attack direction is spread widely, almost all over the world, but it's just a trick, and although it is very clever, it doesn't work for me." ”

"Some of his habits remind me of something," Martin continued: "Remember the 'Twilight Code'? ”

"Of course, that's your masterpiece," Mario was surprised, not understanding why Martin suddenly brought it up.

"While the Twilight Code was running rampant in Europe and North America, it was in the East and fell into the sands, and I suspect that behind this mysterious man is a force belonging to the East." Martin was also a famous hacker when she was young, but her achievements in scientific research were more prominent, so she gradually overshadowed her fame in the field of computers.

"Is there any basis for this?" Mario asked.

"If I said it was a woman's intuition, would you believe it?" "I haven't found evidence to prove this hypothesis, but my gut tells me that I must have fought this mystery guy back then, and that my 'Twilight Code' was probably lost to him." ”

"I'm going to keep a wait-and-see attitude," Mario said, "if you're right, then it's going to be very complicated." Honestly, I hope you've misjudged, because the world can no longer afford two superpowers tossing each other. ”

"I haven't found the evidence yet, otherwise I can prove it to you," Martin was a little unwilling, "he can beat my "Twilight Code", and I can pull his tail out, and I won't give up until I get this field back." ”

"Otherwise, we should report it to Jason and have him inform Warsaintton to investigate, and we won't have to worry about it," Mario said, "We have more important things to do." ”

"When will we be able to relaunch our experimental program?" Martin asked.

"It should be soon, if it goes well, we can get back to work as soon as we arrive in New Orleans or Houston." Mario thought for a moment and took a sip of the coffee from the quilt.

"There's still time," Martin said, "and there's not necessarily anyone on the Warzenton side who is better than me in this regard." ”

"Well, I trust you," Mario looked at the information on the screen, "I'm curious why this guy would be interested in Cold War things." ”

"There will not be any idlers in this world now, everyone who is still alive will have his purpose before doing something, the footprints of this mysterious man opened a door for me, and I suddenly found that there are more secrets ahead that we don't know." A smile tugged at Martin's lips, "Ah, I wish I could have a cup of genuine Hawaiian Kona coffee right now." ”

"Secrets of the East?" Mario was very curious about the hidden message in Martin's words, "Is Kona better than the Blue Mountains?" ”

"It's hard to say, but Kona is more of a taste for me." Martin took another sip from the cup on the table, swallowing each sip very slowly, as if savoring the taste.

"Did you just mention more secrets, referring to coming from the other side of the globe?" Mario saw that Martin had avoided the question just now, and still continued to ask questions unrelentingly.

"The East has its secrets, but our own secrets are even more, and they are at our feet, and at Washington, anywhere in this land of freedom." "I seem to think that we trust the politicians too much, that we have no reservations about what we do, but that they are hiding a lot of things from us." ”

"What made you feel this way?" Mario's eyes became solemn, and Martin's words broke his usual way of thinking, making him feel something unusual.

"I think you've felt the same way, but you haven't thought about it in that direction." "Speaking of which, I would like to thank the mysterious man for following his trails and seeing what he was concerned about. These things can be linked to our research, and you know, if I had focused on the direction and the information early on, we would have progressed much faster. Ironically, however, no one has opened up this information to us, and no one has told us these directions. ”

"But we can't call into question Warsaintton," Mario still refuses to admit Martin's judgment.

"And you're already convinced," Martin said, taking her glasses off and looking back into Mario's eyes, "but you don't want to admit it." ”
