Chapter 414: Suicide (1)
Chen Hang glanced at the spacious office environment, where he did not find Lyle. Chen Hang suddenly remembered the place where Lyle had invited him to chat after the apocalypse, and he seemed to know a lot about the design of that office.
Chen Hang walked down the corridor towards the second office at the end, he knocked lightly on the door, there was no reaction from inside the door, Chen Hang pushed open the office door and walked in.
The office was very spacious and neatly furnished, with Lyle's picture hanging on the wall, but Lyle was not in the office.
Chen Hang glanced back at the hallway, no one noticed him here, he immediately closed the door, and Chen Hang walked quickly to Lyle's desk.
Compared to other places, this desk is much more messy, with pieces of manuscript paper crumpled and thrown on the desk, and the drawers of the desk are hidden with a small slit.
Chen Hang immediately began to check the things on the table, he wanted to find Lyle's whereabouts, but these materials were all academic things, and Chen Hang couldn't understand them at all.
Pulling open the drawer, Chen Hang saw a document here, which was a work plan from a government department, and the work plan tactfully expressed the meaning of reducing the funding arrangements for Lyell's research project.
Just as Chen Hang was rummaging through things, the door of the office was pushed open, and a person walked in from outside.
"Lyle...... Hey, Dririch, what's wrong with you? β
A fat head and big ears were lifted up from behind the table, and Chen Hang looked at the person opposite nervously, he was a little remorseful that he had been too careless just now.
"Uh, uh, Professor Lyle asked me to get a document for him."
Chen Hang raised the plan, and Tapler shook his head:
"Alas, Lyle is still very unwilling, I think he still wants to work harder. But what's the use of this, this is already the final decision of the Academy of Sciences, and I think he is afraid that this time it will be in vain. β
Chen Hang simulated Dridge's voice and giggled, Tepler glared at him, then turned around and left the office.
As he left the office, Templer left a note and listened to him:
"When you send this thing, bring a message to Lyle, let him come back as soon as he has done something, we still have important things to find him here."
"Okay, but where do I go to find the professor?" Chen Hang immediately asked.
Teppler replied, "Governor's Island, didn't they inform Lyle of the preparations for the President?" β
The big fat man ran to the door of the research institute, and Teppler stood in the corridor looking at his back, and Teppler said to himself in confusion:
"What's wrong with this idiot? Didn't Lyle tell him to come and get something? Why doesn't this kid know where Lyle is? Idiot, too much laziness has ruined your brain! β

Governors Island, an island about 800 meters from Lower Manhattan in the middle of the ocean, is the largest undeveloped parcel in New York City and has served as a military base in the past at 172 acres.
There are 220 buildings on Governor's Island, including magnificent buildings from the 18th and 19th centuries, armories used during the Civil War, and Victorian and Romanesque buildings.
Governors Island was developed in 1624 as one of the first colonies in New York occupied by the Dutch West India Company.
The island was under the jurisdiction of the State of New York until 1800, when the federal government took over and converted the island into a military base and barracks.
During the War of 1812, the Civil War, World Wars I and II, and the Persian Gulf War, the island was an important base for the defense of New York City Harbor.
After 1903, the National Coast Guard (U.SCoastGuard) was stationed on the island and did not leave until 1997. Since then, the island has been under the jurisdiction of the federal government and has been classified as a historical monument.
On January 31, 2003, U.S. President George W. Bush ******** officially returned the island to the state capital of New York, where it is now an independent government office.
On the New York Harbor ferry, Chen Hang unexpectedly saw a person here - a top hat, a windbreaker, a scarf, a high collar that blocked most of his face, and a small scar was exposed on the collar.
Lyle, Lyle who crossed over after the apocalyptic world, Chen Hang finally found him.
Chen Hang walked over and sat down beside Lyle, Lyle turned his head and saw Chen Hang, he said with a smile:
"You're here."
Chen Hang nodded and asked, "Why are you only coming out now?" Is time travel delayed? β
Lyle tugged at the glove, "Uh, I have something to attend to, so I delayed a bit." β
Chen Hang pointed to the island in front of the ferry, and he said softly, "Lyle...... AndrΓ©s is on the island. β
Lyle looked at the island, and there was no expression on his face:
"I know, you forgot that I am Feng. Andres, of course I know where he will be. β
Governor's Island is both an office and a tourist attraction, and tourists disembark from the boats when the ferry arrives. Chen Hang and Lyle walked into the island along the flow of people, and asked as they walked Chen Hang:
"What are you going to do?"
"Kill Lyle and try not to alarm the people on the island."
"When to do it? This is an administrative island, you came here this time because the government department wants to arrange the details of your trip to accompany the president, how can we find the space to kill him? β
"There's an emergency meeting here in half an hour, so Lyle has to be alone for a while, and that's about ten minutes, and that's when we do it."
Chen Hang and Lyle sat on the edge of the coast, the two of them watched the tide rise and fall, a hermit crab came out of the beach, Chen Hang threw a small stone over, the hermit crab was frightened, and it quickly burrowed back into the sand.
"If AndrΓ©s is killed, can the future of humanity really change?"
Lyle was still expressionless, but Chen Hang could feel the decline in his heart, and he was about to kill himself, and this feeling was definitely very complicated.
After a long time, Lyle said lightly: "I don't know, it stands to reason that the mail has not been sent, so naturally the end will not come, right?" β
Chen Hang threw a stone out, and he asked softly, "Wait a minute, can you do it?" Do you want me to come? β
Lyle's hands were already clasped together, and his two hands were constantly exerting force, and his knuckles were tense and a little white.
After a while, Lyle stood up, and he walked towards the building on the shore, and Lyle whispered as he went:
"Let's do it, since I started, then I'll finish."
Chen Hang watched Lyle's figure disappear behind the cliff by the sea, and he followed and stood up. Chen Hang clapped his hands, he patted the sand in his hands, Chen Hang looked at the box-like building, Chen Hang said softly:
"Hopefully you'll be able to do it! I'll help you look out for the wind. β
