Chapter Eighty-Three: A Hasty Decision
The warden's words made everyone even more confused.
Everyone was expecting the warden's answer.
The warden lowered his head and thought quietly for a moment, he gritted his teeth, and the expression on his face was heavy, as if something made him feel very uncomfortable.
The warden finally spoke with difficulty: "I know that for thirty years, Professor Zhukov has always been the technical advisor of Zhang Xun, the king of Northeast China. I knew about this long before I became the warden of '2371'. I've known him for many years, and we're old friends. It is not difficult to understand that he is very close to the king of the northeast. He was a keen scientist and spent most of his life alone in the laboratory. Everyone knows that engaging in scientific experiments will inevitably require many high-risk drugs, and those things are contraband in the Soviet Union, it is not impossible to get all the high-risk drugs needed, but the procedures are too cumbersome, and sometimes it takes three or four years to get all the things you want to get, which is too time-consuming, and no scientific researchers like this kind of fearless waiting, they prefer to wait for the results of the experiment. But there is one place where they can easily get all the experimental drugs they want, and that is the Twin Cities. For more than thirty years, the Twin Cities have been controlled by Zhang Xun. As long as you have heard of the king of the Northeast, everyone knows that since his whip army, after losing to Duan Qirui of the Beiyang government. He went against the norm, and suddenly became an unrelenting conservative element. He began to be very respectful to all scientists and provided them with all kinds of powerful conditions, which made many scientists become Zhang Xun's guests, and Professor Zhukov was no exception. ”
"So my father introduced him to me, and he made Blok lose his mind." Zhang Yue couldn't help but interject.
"It's entirely possible, that's why he's a monster." The warden nodded.
"Monsters?" Zhang Yue asked curiously.
"Oh, girl, is he your husband?" The warden seemed to realize that he had said something wrong.
"Yes, he is my husband." Zhang Yue was even more curious.
"I'm sorry girl, he turned into a monster, it was terrible, killing hundreds of our police officers, and even ruining the entire Gulag. Forget about him, he has been devoured by himself, and your husband is dead. Although it may make you sad to say this, it is true, and I just want to tell you the truth, and I don't want to hurt you. The warden said, looking at Frankimir to make sure that what he had said was out of place.
There was no expression on Frank Mire's face, and it seemed that the warden had not said the wrong thing.
Zhang Yue lowered her head and was silent, her long black and beautiful hair covered her face, and no one could see her expression at this time. The slender jade hand, with only ten fingers crossed, was swinging wildly.
However, in the eyes of everyone, she is Zhang Xun's daughter, which means that she at least has a strong and cold heart like Zhang Xun.
A man, to her, may not matter. Of course, there are also some of them, and each of them is just meeting Zhang Yue for the first time. Since there is no old love to talk about, it is natural to have a little less pity.
This is not an era of mutual pity and mutual comfort, indifference and meanness are the main themes of this era.
"I deeply regret your loss. I think this is one of the greatest misfortunes of life, we have all lost our families, my son and I died on the battlefield in Berlin, and so did Yulia's father. The young Frankimir, just a few days ago, his wife was brutally killed. We can all understand your grief at the moment, but know that this is a very dangerous place, as we have just seen. So I hope you can lift your spirits and be brave enough to face any unknown you may encounter in the future. "The warden's rhetoric is somewhat high-sounding.
However, Zhang Yue heard that they had the same experience with each other, which made her heart much better, especially when she heard that Frankie Mire had killed his wife a few days ago, and it seemed that it was not only her own life that was so bad.
"I kind of get it, so Zhukov is the culprit." Kafka patted his head and said, presumptuously believing that he already knew everything. He once thought it was a conspiracy of the Americans, but now it seems that it was nothing more than Zhukov's trick.
"As far as we know, that's how it should be." The warden said.
Zhukov...... Where can I find Zhukov? Zhang Yue asked suddenly.
"If I'm not mistaken, he must be in the Twin Cities." The warden said confidently.
"But I searched for him in the Twin Cities for three whole months, but found nothing, and my father told me that he did not know where Zhukov was."
"With all due respect, this only shows that they are deliberately deceiving you. Of course, I don't mean to blame your father, I just want to say that I don't know what your father meant, but the truth is irrefutable. ”
"Why is that?" Zhang Yue was puzzled, she knew very well her father's cunning, he was a person who never thought about others. Zhang Yue knew that her father, the King of the Northeast, was a person, so she was convinced of the warden's opinion, even though that person was her father.
"They must have other intentions, and this may be just the beginning." Kafka said he didn't think it was that simple.
"Maybe we should go to the Twin Cities and check it out." Yulia said suddenly.
"I agree, I think so." Maria said.
The two women thought of each other at the same time, but with completely different starting points.
Yulia's purpose is to find Zhukov, and only by killing him with her own hands can she relieve the hatred in her heart.
Maria is for Frank Miri, and from what she knows, this Zhukov, whom she has never met, is likely to be behind the murder of Frank Miir.
"If that's the case, I can help you get into the Twin Cities. I would also like to find Zhukov and ask him in person what he did to Blok to make him like that. Zhang Yue said.
It seems that the three women are determined to go to the Twin Cities today, which is a dangerous area. The Soviet government has suppressed bandits for so many years, and Zhang Xun, the king of the Northeast, is still standing. It can be seen that if you really go to the Twin Cities, it can only be life and death.
Kafka looked at the warden without thinking, he rarely had such an unassertive opinion, but he also had a fatal problem, that is, he did not know how to refuse women, especially beautiful women. If this idea had been proposed by Frankimir, Kafka would probably have blown Frankimir's head off, but it was the three beauties who came up with it, which made him a little powerless.
The warden didn't know what to do, and his intense curiosity made him want to find Zhukov, who was his old friend of more than thirty years, who ruined this gulag. At the same time, the warden knew very well that if he made his way to the Twin Cities, it would be an extremely dangerous journey.
The Warden turned his head to Professor Saul to hear his advice, and now the Warden was in dire need of someone to be a staff officer and come up with an idea.
Professor Saul, seeing from the warden's eyes, saw that he was expecting his advice, so after some careful consideration, Professor Saul said cautiously, "I think if we really want to go to the Twin Cities, now is indeed an opportunity. ”
"How so?" The warden asked.
"This Zhang Yue girl is the daughter of the King of the Northeast, it is not difficult for her to help us enter the city, even after entering the city, as long as this girl is willing to help us, I don't think anyone will dare to deliberately trouble us, which can make us unimpeded in the Twin Cities." Professor Saul replied.
"I'd love to help you, and you might be able to help me too. I, like you, would love to find Zhukov. As you say, my father deceived me, he hid Zhukov's whereabouts, and now only you can help me find him. Zhang Yue said.
"To be honest, I've wanted to see what the Twin Cities are like for a long time. In the Far East, no one does not know the Twin Cities, just as no one does not know their parents. If you all think so and we should go to the Twin Cities, then I have no opinion, and I am willing to go with you. The warden exclaimed.
Kafka's face showed a look of disappointment, and it seemed that he didn't think much of going to the Twin Cities.
At this point, the warden asked Yulia and Maria.
"Have you really figured it out?"
"Yes, that's right."
"Have you ever thought about the danger?"
"Of course."
"My girl, if you cry, no one will comfort you in that kind of place."
"I think we can take care of ourselves."
"It seems that I'm more like a, mother-in-law and mom nagging." The warden said self-deprecatingly.
After questioning Yulia and Maria, the warden turned to look at Kafka.
"Kafka, how are you? Would you like to come with us to the Twin Cities? The warden asked.
"Of course I don't have a problem, but I only have some scruples considering your injuries, Warden. I've never been afraid of that kind of place, and since you're all going there, I don't have a problem with that, I just want to fill my stomach first, and then rest for a while. After a day of tossing and turning, I didn't eat anything. Kafka said like a deflated ball, with his head down and patting his stomach.
"And what do you think, our hero, Franky Mir?" The warden finally asked.
"I'm going to go to you, but I'm not going."
