Chapter Thirty-Four: Adrian's Melancholy

On November 20, 2012, at 12:29 p.m., Adrian's alarm clock rang on time, and the crisp and high-pitched bell filled the whole room, and the turbid air in the room seemed to be shaken by the bell to show a faint ripple.

Adrian, who had only slept for twenty-eight minutes, woke up.

His eyes were frighteningly red.

The whites of the eyes are covered with bloodshots, and the rest is also dyed red; The dark brown eyes of the past dilated slightly, and it looked a little unfocused.

Even in his sleep, his brows were fiercely pressed together, squeezed together, and with that face full of anxiety and worry, anyone who looked at it could see at a glance the rich anxiety and worry that filled his body and mind.

This is a man who is emaciated to the extreme.

After the "miracle" rebellion on No. 2, Thomas and the others lost their corresponding memories, however, Adrian did not.

Thanks to the blessing of that "miracle", he became the only one in this world who knew that this so-called "end of the world" was not as simple as a natural disaster!

And compared with natural disasters, "man-made disasters" are often more terrible!!

What's more, this catastrophe of the destruction of the earth is not only a mixture of natural disasters and man-made disasters, but also the tip of the iceberg of the "people" in the "man-made disasters...... It's already terrifying and can't help myself!!

However, although he was very scared in his heart, Adrian had an impulse -

Do what you can to save as many people as possible!!

Therefore, after Washington returned to "calm" again, Adrian found an excuse and came to the Qing Kingdom and came to the Zhuoming Valley in Western Tibetan Province.

Originally, he just wanted to use his name as a "famous scientist" in the United States to find a way to do something in this place that contains the boat of human life, but unexpectedly, things have changed dramatically.

The three parties of the United States, the military, politics and law, for some reason, reached an agreement, and made him, Adrian Helmulris, the supreme director of the United States in the Zhuoming Valley, with full authority to represent the United States!

This order shocked countless people, including Adrian himself.

Despite all these days, he has gradually become accustomed to his new identity. However, Adrian was still a little puzzled when he remembered the "strange" expression of his boss when he tried to find an excuse to go to Zhuoming Valley that day, and the scene where Thomas and the others saw him off before he left Washington.

Faintly, he felt that all this was inseparable from his "special ability" to preserve the memories of that day......

…………

When the alarm bell rang for the third time, the unfocused pupils froze slightly, and Adrian sat up and pressed it off.

He began to go into his room at eleven fifty-seven to rest, and for two minutes he finished some chores, and then fell back into a deep sleep. So far, I've just slept for half an hour.

In fact, since he was appointed as the top executive of the United States side of Zhuo Ming Valley, Adrian has less than four hours of rest every day, and he can't wait to break every second in half to use it.

If it weren't for the fact that his body couldn't stand it, I was afraid that he wouldn't even want to take a half-hour "lunch break".

Getting up in a daze, he turned on the faucet as fast as he could, and the water poured out, and the stimulation brought by the slightly cool water made his mind dizzy slightly less.

Adrian was so tired that he had to dip his entire head in water to refresh himself.

After drying his face, rubbing his face, and exhaling a long breath, Adrian opened the door again and walked out of his room.

Zhuo Ming Valley can be roughly divided into two parts.

First, the place where countless people are working in three shifts a day is also where Noah's Ark is stored;

The second is the living quarters.

Of course, this "living quarter" can also be divided into two parts, of which two-thirds of the area is where the workers and soldiers live, and the other third is where the high-level political leaders of various countries and the elites and tycoons of the whole world are located.

As the nominal top executive of the coalition government, Adrian was assigned a detached cottage and several spacious and bright offices.

However, he had never been there since he arrived in Zhuoming Valley.

He has always lived in Zhuoming Valley, eating and living with countless workers, truly "fighting on the front line" and "sharing weal and woe" with the people. After so many days, he basically knew all the information about Noah's Ark.

"Doctor!" "Dr. Adrian!" "Hello Doctor!"

"Doctor, why did you get up, why don't you rest for a while?"

"Yes, Doctor, look in the mirror and see how emaciated you look!"

The people who saw Adrian greeted him one after another, and the more familiar people were very heartbroken when they saw his extremely tired appearance, and even "gritted their teeth" a little.

His prestige is high. Not because of his achievements in science, let alone his exaggerated identity at the moment, but everything he has done these days, everyone has seen it in their eyes and hearts.

It is said that people see people's hearts in times of crisis, and at the same time, in times of crisis, people are more eager for "heroes".

There is no doubt that Adrian has become a "hero" in the minds of many people, and he is also a living existence living around him, which is a little more intimate and therefore more concerned.

The day before yesterday, someone really couldn't stand it anymore, so he united with a few people and resorted to extreme measures to put sleeping pills in the water he drank!

Afterwards, Adrian suppressed the emotion in his heart and angrily reprimanded them.

However, it was precisely because of that sweet sleep that he was able to support himself until now.

You must know that in just ten days, Adrian has lost at least thirty pounds!!

Although he couldn't be called thin before, he definitely couldn't get along with the word "fat".

In the face of the loving and painful suggestions and reprimands of these new friends, Adrian smiled slightly, swallowed his dry throat, and said in a snarling voice: "Okay, during working hours, don't talk about gossip." ”

"Saya, how is it going?" Adrian set his sights on a beautiful petite woman.

The Japanese woman named Saya Border City quietly withdrew her eyes full of admiration and distress, and reported with a serious face: "Dr. Adrian, the first batch of ten Arks completed has completed the last round of commissioning, and the second batch of thirty Arks has all completed the laying of keels, of which five have completed the basic structure, and the other fifteen are under full construction, but there is still some time before the date of completion. ”

[PS: In the original "plot", the reason why there are only ten arks, and only less than half of them are completed at the end of the year, an important reason should be that they can only be done secretly (personal opinion). In this world, the order of the world has basically collapsed, and the coalition government will invest all the property and materials of all mankind in this project, which will definitely produce different results. In addition, with the covert help of the guardians (technical support or something), it is not surprising that there will be such an "exaggerated" result. Of course, for the sake of the plot of this story, this number is still a bit exaggerated.]

"Can you tell us about the progress?" Adrian was silent for a moment, rubbing his brow heavily, his heart full of anxiety.

"It's good." Saya lifted the frame of the mirror and said softly, "Ark 16 has been completed so far...... Ark 17...... Ark 30 ......"

To be honest, the current progress is really not slow, and even the most demanding engineers are blamed on this point, after all, it has been less than two full-term months since the news was leaked.

However, in Adrian's heart, it was still too slow! Too slow!! Too slow!!

Reason told him that this was going fast, but he still couldn't help but want to go faster! Faster!! Faster!!!

His heart was filled with a strange and even somewhat neurotic, inexplicable nervousness, as if the next moment would be the end of the world, and he wished that in the blink of an eye, hundreds of thousands of Noah's Arks would appear in front of him.

Saya's voice stopped, and there was silence in the small, somewhat rudimentary office.

Everyone was happy in their hearts, because the reason why there was such progress was inseparable from their contribution, but seeing Adrian's frowning face, no one could bear to smile.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and then the door was pushed open, and a person leaned in halfway: "Dr. Adrian, General Jin Sanxian is visiting and is waiting in the front hall." ”

Hearing the name, Adrian showed a somewhat "odd" expression.

He was very happy and a little excited.

The reason for this is that General Kim Sam-s, who came to Korea, has provided him with great help.

To put it bluntly, without the generosity of Jin Sanxing, the current second batch of thirty arks would definitely not have such an exaggerated progress, and it would be great to be able to complete the laying of the keel!

Therefore, all the people in this office are full of affection for this young and mysterious "General Kim".

In peacetime, North Korea is a mysterious country for them, but this "mystery" tends to be more negative due to some actions of the government and the propaganda of the government.

Now, their perception couldn't be more positive!

Including Adrian.

But, somehow, deep down, Adrian had a faint sense of rejection for that "General Jin Sanxing"!

It feels strange and not very obvious, but it's real.

The conflicting emotions from "reason" and "instinct" made Adrian a little confused for a while.

"Doctor? Doctor? It wasn't until someone tapped the table that Adrian came to his senses.

Everyone who witnessed all this was amazed, the famous "workaholic" Adrian Helmris actually had a moment when he was in a daze, it was really a strange news in the world~~~~

"Well, I'll be right over." Suppressing that faint resistance to the bottom of his heart, Adrian stood up with his hands on the table, poured a whole cup of coffee like "courage", and walked towards the front hall.

There, Kim Sansan was waiting.
