Chapter 14: The Dawn Watcher
"You! This! Really. "It's the first time since the last time the noodles were burned to the ground, and the burning night has been so atmospheric, "Do you know that if no one sent us a distress signal last night, you would have been escorted to the gate of the execution ground now, all I want you to do is to notify me somewhere after you go out, can't you even do this little thing?" Rorian didn't speak, he didn't have anything to say, in fact this was the first time he felt that he was cared for by others, last night's wound was still aching, but fortunately, the lost pinna had begun to grow slowly under the influence of the drug, and he didn't plan to tell Burning Night about the changes in his body.
Yue coldly stuck her head in through the crack in the door, "Okay, it's okay, you two had better come over for a while." ”
The big leader of the New Tomorrow organization is definitely not bad, and it can even be said that he has a face that can make all men look sideways, but this face is a little haggard when it appears on the screen at the moment, but this does not prevent Burning Night from changing into a cynical ruffian, "Oh~ Long time no see, Miss Bai, I believe you came to disturb me this time and didn't just want me to invite you to coffee." ”
Bai Jiu chuckled twice and said, "I hope you can be more rational next time when you rush to have a treat." Bai Jiu continued with a slightly straight face, "I believe that all of you here have seen what the Germanic Empire has done recently, they have sent the inhabitants of the slums into experimental cabins, forcibly turning them into emotionless and inhuman killing machines, but the good news is that we have made contact with the Dawn Watchers, and the next mission you will complete together with other teams and the Dawn Watchers, remember that the pain is temporary, and the victory is eternal." ”
"What's that? Do you want us to work with small non-governmental organizations? What did Makarov think? Martin put all his dissatisfaction on his face, and he clearly didn't have a good impression of the New Tomorrow organization.
"Shut up, Martin, they don't look like a small civil organization, at least they have the advantage in numbers, and besides, it's a vote." The white-bearded old man didn't like a shouting young man next to him when he was drinking tea.
Although Martin was not convinced, he couldn't find a reason to refute it for a while, and the red-haired girl sitting next to him said vaguely with half-covered eyes, "Eh, what is the noise, if they are weak, let them be cannon fodder, there are so many and some of them." ”
"Okay." Yue knocked on the plan board, "The purpose of this plan is mainly to delay the production of the Rebel Terminator, but the premise is that we have to find a few of the affiliated laboratories, and then send them with the Dawn Watcher, uh... The Omega team cooperates to destroy the experimental equipment, the Germanic Empire's plan to restart the Rebel Terminator is not long and the technical requirements for manufacturing the experimental cabin are extremely high, the number should be less than two, but the whole process must start and finish quickly, if you are five minutes slower, there may be several, or even dozens of Rebel Terminators in front of you, and the other plans will be detailed until we and the Dawn Warden team will meet and talk about it, so I don't need to repeat it, right? ”
"Why does their team have such a name, why don't we have it?" Burning Night finally couldn't help but ask this sentence.
"And what do you want to call it?" Lubert chimed in, turning his swivel chair.
"For example... Well... Turtle dove. "It's not hard to see that Burning Night isn't good at choosing names
"Oh! Come on! ”
Wu Cheng has basically spent the past few days in the car, and the travel expenses given to him by the burning night have basically bottomed out, but on the bright side, at least he has not seen the wanted warrant with his photo printed on it.
Aegis City, located at the junction of the Imperial District and Queens, is a standard industrial city, even hiding in the sewers with the noise of machines working will get into your ears, and the streets are sparsely populated, only office robots are busy without saying a word.
Qiu Tang has lived in Fushi Street for more than ten years, and in his days except for the office robot that notified him to go to work and hold meetings, few people knocked on her door, especially after the death of her husband, his life became more and more monotonous, and he was engaged in so-called scientific research in addition to eating and sleeping all day long.
But today is obviously an exception, after more than ten years, her door was finally knocked on by a living creature, and she opened the door a crack, revealing her godless eyes, "May I ask who you are?" She didn't know the man with the black mask in front of her, but when the man took the mask off, her dry eyes moistened, and she was greeted by a face that was both familiar and unfamiliar, but eventually she remembered the name "You are... City? ”
The man nodded, Qiu Tang burst out with tears that she hadn't seen for more than ten years, she hugged the man in front of her tightly, for fear that he would fly away from her eyes, Wu Cheng's prepared stomach of questions was not asked in the end, he was just quietly hugged by the woman in front of him, although she was no different from a stranger to him, he knew better than anyone else that this woman was the person he had been waiting for for sixteen years, his mother.
"Where's my dad?" Wu Cheng's voice also choked with the atmosphere, Qiu Tang didn't speak, but the tears were like a faucet turned on, no matter how she couldn't stop it, she raised her finger slightly and pointed to the black and white photo on the wall, Wu Cheng's tears swirled desperately and finally flowed down, "I waited for you for sixteen years, but in the end you only gave me one photo." ”
Wu Cheng kowtowed three times in front of his father's portrait, he made all the burdens in his heart disappear without a trace, Qiu Tang took his hand, "Cheng, my good son, don't go, mom has a lot of rooms in the house, you will live in mom here in the future, mom has everything here, ah, mom will take me to see my mother's place of work tomorrow, and by the way, I will help you find a job, let's live the second half of our lives well, okay?" ”
"Okay, I promise you... Mom" Wu Cheng no longer had any extravagant hopes in his heart, and he was finally able to sleep peacefully on the soft big bed.
As soon as Wu Cheng woke up, his nose was filled with a strong smell of food, his original shabby clothes had been replaced by a brand new black T-shirt, he walked down the stairs slowly, and Qiu Tang had unsurprisingly prepared a table of delicious meals.
Not everyone can bring people into the place where Qiu Tang works, but she is obviously an exception, she just said hello to the guards and walked into the gate of the Living Skeleton Military Base with Wucheng Zhengda.
Burning Night turned off the screen, he didn't have to watch it anymore, "Yue, tell the Great Leader that I've found the target location." ”
The tiny sticky nano camera around Wu Cheng's neck fell to the ground as if it had suddenly lost power the moment it turned off the screen in the burning night, and it had lost the meaning of its existence.
