Section 378 Dilemma
A cold wind blew across her face, and she suddenly came to her senses.
What am I doing here?
She was a little confused, she just remembered standing in front of the big screen in the center of the control and thinking about how to improve the success rate of conversions, when a girl walked up to her.
And then there she was.
What happened?
She was confused, it was the first time she had felt this way since becoming a Bloodliner.
She seems to have done something, but Memory refuses to tell her what happened.
It seems that something terrible is happening, or has already happened.
It was an old mechanical processing factory, and there was solidified iron slag at her feet, and she hurriedly identified the direction and walked quickly towards the control center.
There were only two watchmen left, and it was already late at night, after all.
"Sister Liang." They were a little surprised when they saw Liang Jin.
"Leave me alone." Liang Jin smiled reluctantly.
She walked quickly to the control platform, her hands quickly tapping on the keyboard, and called up the previous video to view.
At such an important location as the control center, there are always two wide-angle cameras monitoring it, and the video data is stored separately.
She fast-forwarded to find the scene in her memory, and finally found the picture in her memory in the video at 1:58.
The girl named Liu Jiajia walked towards her.
The video isn't too clear, and there's no sound, so she maxes out the image and keeps her eyes on her face.
What Liu Jiajia said, she said a few words to Liu Jiajia. Then he was stunned for a moment.
Liang Jin took the video back a few seconds from here, her movements did pause here, and the expression on her face seemed to freeze for a brief second.
What happened?
Liang Jin knew that the problem might have happened in the content of the conversation between the two. But there is something in her heart that is telling her that it may not be a good thing to track it down.
There is a subconscious force that tells her not to continue to delve into this matter, it will bring misfortune.
She searched for the duty log for that time slot, and there was no information of interest.
The phone rang, and she picked it up casually, it was Lin Chuan.
"It's not over yet. There is now a 10-minute intermission. His voice was tired. What about you? ”
Liang Jin hesitated for a second, should he tell Lin Chuan about this?
"It's nothing, it's all normal." She said eventually. "I've got them all back to rest."
"Everyone has worked hard these days." Lin Chuan said. "Wait until you're done with this paragraph. We went around and walked around, and we scattered. ”
"Okay." Liang Jin said with a smile.
Wu Mo, a Level 3 person sent by Lin Chuan to Tibet, came with the news in the morning that he had found a large number of survivors in the Tibetan area.
By Tibetan region, they did not only refer to the pre-apocalyptic autonomous region, but also to the five surrounding autonomous prefectures. The area even exceeds that of the Anzai region.
When the end has just broken out. It also maintained contact with the central government, but after a period of time, it was completely cut off from the outside world. In the face of the apocalypse, the central government did not have the energy to investigate what happened here, and when Huang Ande seized a qiē, he temporarily abandoned this place.
The news that Wu Mo sent back can be said to be the first-hand news of the Tibetan area since the end of the day.
When the apocalypse broke out, a large number of people from Qingzhou, Shuzhou, Longzhou and Zhaozhou fled to Tibetan areas. Not only that, but there are also many Indian, Bangladeshi and Burmese refugees from the southern foothills of the Himalayas. The cold weather killed many people who fled in a hurry and were unprepared for the cold, but also isolated many monsters under the plateau, sheltering millions of people.
But the climate of the plateau meant that not much crops could be grown there, and famine began to spread on the plateau when livestock became a potential danger and were slaughtered in large numbers.
Wu Mo traveled all the way south along the Qinghai-Tibet line, and in the area he saw, people were struggling to support themselves with towns and Buddhist temples in various places, and it can be said that they were extremely thirsty for foreign support.
The central content of the meeting that Lin Chuan and the others were holding at this time was how to send a batch of food and supplies to the plateau to help the local survivors, and on the other hand, to relocate a large number of survivors from the plateau, which was not suitable for the survival of a large number of people, to various areas under the actual control of the Northwest Public Office.
But from the information sent back by Wu Mo, as he went deeper into the Tibetan area, he found that there seemed to be a small number of bloodline people there, and most of them were ascetic lamas, and he did not meet Khyentse Bataan, who was called the "true living Buddha", but from the sporadic rumors he heard, this lama had the power to tear the devil with his bare hands, protecting tens of thousands of survivors, and millions of believers had taken refuge because of him.
Almost the entire Tibetan Guard region was now under the influence and control of the Sangzha Monastery where Khyentse Bataan was located.
Lin Chuan guessed that he should be a level 1 bloodline, judging from Wang Zhi's route to Jianghai all the way west, this is very likely.
Then, his attitude becomes a very important thing.
Why has Tibetan areas been adopting a policy of external isolation? Why have they never been in contact with the outside world since the end of the world?
Li Yaoyao was accustomed to guessing at the worst-case scenario, and in her guess, the Khyentse Bataan Guru was most likely a fanatical religious who wanted to take advantage of the apocalypse to revive the feudal tradition of theocratic unity in Tibet.
But Lin Chuan didn't think so, at least he didn't want to think of people in the worst direction from the beginning. He prefers to believe that the closure of Tibet is due to other reasons than to want to become an independent kingdom.
He wanted to talk to the lama face to face, and if he could convince him, it would be the best news for the Northwest Office, which was desperately lacking in high-ranking bloodline people and population.
"I want to go to Tibet." He said this after the meeting was held again.
"Why?" Li Yaoyao immediately asked. "There's a big mess here, Wang Yuanan is gone, He Daji has also gone to Anxi, if you leave again, not a single first-level bloodline person in Qinzhou will be left?"
Lin Chuan has nothing to say, this is indeed the biggest weakness of the Northwest Office. Huang Ande and the others are frozen in the lower layer of the base, and there must be at least one level 1 person to feel at ease. But after Wang Yuanan left, he was full of calculations. The Northwest Office only has three Level 1 and two Level 2, and such high-end combat power is really unsuitable.
What's more, compared with the European Union and the New Soviets, He Daji and Yahya, the two Level 1 people, can almost be said to be parallel imports.
He groaned. "It seems that Liang Jin can only go."
Contact with high-level bloodline people, from the principle of reciprocity, can only be done by high-level bloodline people.
The Northwest Office has a very limited pool of suitable candidates.
Zhu Rong and Li Yaoyao are both the main promoters of this work of streamlining the army, and they can't leave, so. The only one who can really be sent is Liang Jin. Fortunately, the second batch of volunteers is still in the process of recruiting, and the work at hand can be put on hold.
Participants agreed.
"Then I'll call her up." Lin Chuan picked up the phone again.
The conference room is on the third floor and the command center is on the basement level.
What surprised Lin Chuan was. The officer on duty reported to him that Commissioner Liang had gone out not long ago.
"She's in the real room?" Lin Chuan asked casually.
"Nope." The watchman replied. "You can't see her in the surveillance footage."
******
"What the hell is going on?" Liang Jin asked.
"Can't I look for you if it's okay?"
Liang Jin didn't answer, and looked at the man in front of him with mixed feelings.
He had a scruffy beard and oily hair. Formed into a tugging one. Heavy dark circles and prominent cheekbones make it clear at a glance that his life is very irregular, not to mention that he is full of alcohol.
But Liang Jin couldn't be angry with him, and she even felt a little guilty about him.
"Chu Zhongtian, don't be like this again." She said.
"Don't do that again? What? Chu Zhongtian laughed. I'm just a cripple, what do you think I'm supposed to be? ”
Liang Jin sighed, he was before the apocalypse, or even when the apocalypse had just erupted. has always been a person who has made a difference, and Leng Su'an's base even relied entirely on him at the beginning to really pull up the team. And he has always been the number two man in the base.
He was at that time. has both ability and connections, and his reputation among people is even much better than Leng Su'an.
Until Lin Chuan arrived.
His right hand was shrunk into his sleeve, but Liang Jin had seen it from afar, his right hand had shrunk into something like a chicken claw.
"You can choose to be a Bloodliner." She spoke. "You should know Cen Xiaojing, her eyes have completely recovered after becoming a bloodliner, and your hands will definitely work."
Chu Zhongtian laughed.
"Of course I know, and that's why I'm coming to you tonight."
"That's good." Liang Jin nodded. Although the transformation process has great risks, Chu Zhongtian's current appearance may be no different than death.
"What level do you want to convert to?" She asked.
Chu Zhongtian had partnered with her for a long time, and although he seemed to be a very amiable person, Liang Jin knew very well that he was a very proud person in his bones, and he would definitely not set his goal at level 7.
"Level 1." Chu Zhongtian said.
"What are you kidding!" Liang Jin said angrily.
"Do you think I'll be willing to be his lackey?" Chu Zhongtian asked.
When the two were alone, he always replaced Lin Chuan with "he" and never called him by his name.
"You can undergo surgery, so you won't be disturbed by mental power."
"And then? Or is it inferior to him? What's the difference between that and now? Chu Zhongtian asked. Liang Jin saw a trace of unwillingness and pride in his gaze that had not yet been completely extinguished. "If that's the case, I'd rather die."
"I don't have such permission, and I don't have the materials to convert Level 1." Liang Jin shook his head and said.
The status of a Level 1 bloodline is very important, there is no doubt about it, even if he doesn't consider the success rate, after the transformation is successful, will he be able to contribute to the Northwest Office? Will it become an enemy of the Northwest Office?
All existing Tier 1 Bloodlines have only two sources, the old Tier 1 Bloodline transformed by Huang Ande, or the new Rank 1 Bloodline transformed by Wang Zhi after the apocalypse. Maybe Liang Jin can transform herself into a level 2 person privately, but she doesn't have the right to use Wang Zhi's blood sample, and she can't bear such consequences.
"After all these years, ask yourself, what have I done for you? Have I asked you anything? Chu Zhongtian asked. You ask yourself, who has paid more for you compared to me and Lin Chuan? What I did for you, can't you do the only thing for me? ”
Liang Jin bit his lower lip tightly and couldn't say anything.
She has always known his intentions, but fate is determined and difficult to fathom.
Before the end, he was Liang Jin's most trusted deputy, and he resolved countless accusations from all sides for Liang Jin. Liang Jin knew very well in her heart that without him, she would not be able to get to that position.
After the apocalypse, he not only saved Liang Jin's life, but also protected her after she lost order. He could have taken away her virginity as lightly as Leng Su'an did, but he didn't, but he had always respected her wishes very graciously, and waited for her change of heart.
Until Lin Chuan arrived.
"I'm sorry, I really can't help ......," she said softly.
Chu Zhongtian's face turned like dead ashes.
"I see." He stood there for a long time, and finally nodded. "So, so be it." He said expressionlessly. (To be continued......)
