Chapter 39: Sister

On the other end of the headphones, Jiang Ke, who was still talking a second ago, suddenly stopped making a sound.

“Ke? Ke! Ruby anxiously called out Jiang Ke's name.

"It's still too tender, young man." An older voice came from the other end of the headphones.

The sound was some distance from the headphones, and Ruby heard it and immediately stopped calling.

"Looks like something happened to KE." Nadia, who had been listening, said and gave her own conclusions.

Ruby looked irritated, "Isn't that obvious!" I need to find a way to save him. ”

The older voice came through the headphones again, sounding like it was giving instructions to the others. They want to detain Jiang Ke in a certain location. Although faint human voices can be heard, the voices are so small that the two are unable to obtain effective information.

Nadia patted Ruby on the shoulder, she remembered the scene in the car and expressed herself in a different way, "Calm down, human girl." We need ...... Make a plan. ”

"Kill them all?" Ruby said angrily that she didn't want to hope for this alien who was going to kill people at every turn, and she kept walking back and forth.

"Don't make such a big move, you'll be discovered." Nadia kindly reminded that she wasn't annoyed by Ruby's rudeness.

"Great idea! Be found by them! Ruby snapped his fingers, "Nadia, can I trust you?" ”

Nadia replied in the affirmative, "Yes." ”

"Good! You help me keep an eye on Andrew, I'll go to camp. Ruby said, turning to look at Andrew without question, "You have to be obedient, follow her, and I'll be back soon." ”

Andrew whimpered a few times and sat down obediently beside Nadia.

Ruby picked up her backpack and looked around. Then he ran to roll in the snowdrift, and then ran to the edge of the tree and rubbed around, until he was quite embarrassed, and then he got up.

She glanced at Nadia and Andrew and walked in the direction of the settlement.

"Brave girl." Nadia said with some certainty about what she had done.

Ruby ran out of the woods, trying to make a panicked look on his face, and ran towards the light.

She was soon spotted and brought into the living quarters.

Inside a tent, a woman handed Ruby a bowl of hot soup.

Beside them, stood the smoking guard who had been on duty at the sentry before.

The smoker looked surprised and said to Ruby in an aggravated tone, "I'll check with you again, you said you came here with your father, and then you were chased by evolved carnivores and fled up the mountain. And your father sacrificed himself to help you get out, and then you crossed the mountains to get here? ”

Ruby looked ahead with a dull look in his eyes, and nodded his head woodenly.

The smoking guard looked at Ruby incredulously, and recorded in his notebook, "It's been a coincidence lately, so many people have escaped with their lives." And what about your name? ”

Ruby pretended to be stupid and didn't say a word.

The old woman next to her brought Ruby a blanket and placed it beside her.

She complained a little about the guards' ignorance of current affairs, "This is still a little girl, she just lost her father, and you are still so aggressive." ”

The smoking guard looked embarrassed, "This ...... I'm duty, and I don't want to. But looking at Ruby as a young girl, he didn't think there would be any situation in his heart, and left a sentence, "Then wait a few days, and when your condition is better, I'll ask again." ”

With that, he nodded at the old woman and turned to leave.

Ruby saw that the guards were gone, and moved a little, and she grabbed the old woman's hand with a sad face. "My father and I have a companion, and he may have come here as well, have you seen it, an Asian, about that tall." Ruby raised his hand and gestured at Jiang Ke's silhouette.

The old woman shook her head, and she was kind enough to help Ruby around and ask around, but the people in the camp said that they had never seen such an Asian.

"I don't think there's a single Asian male here, we don't have a lot of Asians here, and if anyone comes to the shelter, we'll be paying attention." The old woman told Ruby the conclusion, but seeing her expression, the old woman couldn't help but comfort her, "Maybe he's still on the way, and if the Asians come to the camp, we'll definitely tell you." ”

"I heard someone was spying on Asian men?" The old woman was comforting Ruby when a gorgeous-looking young woman approached and squatted down in front of Ruby, "Is that you?" ”

Ruby looked up at her, a standard Caucasian with blonde hair and a bumpy figure, with a pair of cat's eyes that revealed cunning and sexy. As a woman, Ruby was fascinated by it.

Ruby nodded hurriedly. "Have you ever seen him?"

The corners of the woman's mouth lifted slightly, "I can't tell." But I'd like to hear you say a little bit more about this Asian man. Oh, forgot to introduce myself, my name is Caitlin. ”

"My name is Ruby". Ruby thought about it seriously, Jiang Ke's headphones didn't know how long they could last, and her time was very tight now.

“Ke。” Ruby simply threw out a syllable, on the one hand, to try to call Jiang Ke again, and on the other hand, to test the woman in front of him. If she doesn't have feelings for the syllable, then Ruby doesn't need to waste time on her either.

To her surprise, however, Caitlin said Jiang Ke's full name in standard Chinese. "Jiang Ke?"

Ruby frowned slightly, although the other party was right, she was still worried. "You are?"

Caitlin didn't answer, she looked at Ruby as if she were going to dissect Ruby's soul. With that sharp gaze, Ruby was a little scared and couldn't help but move back.

"You're Jiang Ke's friend." Caitlin's tone was not a question, but more like a statement of fact.

"Yes." Ruby replied in the affirmative.

Caitlin seemed to see through Ruby, and at the same time took out a photo of Jiang Ke. "I believe you, tell me about his situation, the current situation is definitely not as simple as you asked."

On the other hand, Jaime follows Dick to Alita's secret service.

Along the way, Jaime tries to see the scenery around him, but it is already dark, and everything is dark in sight. Because the helicopter flew out of the distance was quite far, Jiang Ke's voice in the headphones had long been inaudible.

?

Vaguely, Jaime saw the outline of a mountain in front of him, and the helicopter approached the top of the mountain as if he didn't care about colliding with it.

Then, a forest suddenly lit up in front of him and slowly began to move, which turned out to be a parking platform disguised as the surrounding environment.

?

The helicopter slowly fell into it, and when the helicopter came to a stop, the zenith slowly closed again.

The group got out of the helicopter and headed to the side passageway, and after passing through a metal door and a series of security procedures, Jaime came to the interior of the Alita Corporation.

Dick walked at the front, and he suddenly turned around, stretched out his arms and said to Jaime, "Welcome to Alita Corporation's Arras Division." ”

Jaime looked around and couldn't help but sigh, "Alita is really rich, she actually built such a facility." It is completely impossible to imagine such a place existing. ”

Dick laughs and says, "If you had accepted the invitation, you would have worked here." ”

Jaime touched the wall, "If you could have included a picture of this in the invitation, I wouldn't have disliked you at the time." ”

Dick touched his nose and looked at Jaime thoughtfully.

"Where's my sister?" James gets straight to the point.

Dick led the way in front of him, tilting his head and smiling at Jaime behind him, "Of course, you'll see her soon." But I'll only have to take you outside the lab to meet her, she doesn't know we've found you yet. At this moment, she is working hard for the survival of humanity, and I hope you can understand and not interrupt her research process for the time being. ”

Jaime didn't speak, just watched his surroundings attentively, and followed Dick deeper into the facility.

The two entered the elevator and came to the 14th floor.

Through the glass, Jaime saw his sister working indoors, working on some data. James knocked the window and shouted, "Sister! Karina! I'm Jaime! ”

However, none of this could attract the attention of the man inside.

Dick smiled, "Don't waste your energy, Dr. Jaime, you can't be seen from inside, and there's not even a little sound coming in. ”

Jaime frowned, he rarely looked angry, he couldn't understand why? "What's the difference between this and house arrest!" He protested loudly.

Dick shrugged his shoulders with an embarrassed face, "I'm sorry, this is not my arrangement, but your sister's own request." Thinking you're dead, she locks herself in the research room, not allowing anyone to bother her until she finds a solution to everything. ”

Jaime shook his head slightly, impulsively clouding his sanity, "But I'm alive now!" I am fine! So, what is she working on? Tell me and I'll help her! ”

The corners of Dick's mouth curled up and he smiled with satisfaction, "Come, please follow me." ”

The two of them reached the 13th floor, which was a research room with the same layout as the one upstairs, and even the things inside looked so similar.

The holographic projection in the middle of the research room reveals the genetic structure that Karina is trying to build at the moment.

Dick opened the corresponding data one after another and showed it in front of Jaime, "Your sister will put out some simple tasks from time to time for the assistant researcher to operate, but you know, no one can completely keep up with her. Of course, she once told me that if only James were alive, no one could question his genius. ”

Jaime scanned the information quickly, his brain racing, and after a few moments, he whispered, "I can, let me come." ”

With that, he threw himself into it and began to explore Karina's research project from another angle.

Dick looked at Jaime, who was in the mood for a moment, with a smug smile on his face. Immediately, he withdrew from the laboratory.

"Seal off the 13th floor for me, and don't let Karina get close to here."

"Yes."
