Chapter 135. After the chaos
There was no place in his body that didn't hurt, and Gunter was lying on the hospital bed, and it was extremely difficult to even move.
The smell of disinfectant water was everywhere, and the sound of painful moans was incessant, and he judged that he must be in a centralized camp.
Still soaking wet, he struggled to examine his body, but fortunately there were no fractures, only a pain in his chest, where there was a burn blister.
Poof.
Gaunt rolled over with difficulty, fell straight out of bed, and fell heavily to the ground, his eyes hurting so much that his eyes were full of stars.
The commotion he made attracted the attention of a middle-aged nurse: "Sir, why did you get out of bed by yourself?" Lie down! ”
"I'm fine."
Gaunt sat up hoarsely and was helped by the nurse, but when he sat upright, the nurse let go of her hand, and he hurriedly propped up the edge of the bed so that he would not fall again.
Gaunt's throat moved, and he didn't say anything, casually taking off the Brave New World employee identification pinned to his collar and stuffing it into his pocket.
When he walked to the gate of the camp, the voice of the middle-aged nurse finally came from behind him: "Where are you going?" ”
Gaunt was unmoved, and said hoarsely, "I'm fine." ”
He stepped out of the tent, the soles of his shoes falling into the muddy ground, step by step, the cold wind blowing on his body, sweeping over the treetops on one side, blowing the tent's curtain back and forth, and carrying away the endless moaning.
……
Zhou Jinru wiped his face with a hot towel, and he came to the lobby of the hotel where he was staying, at this time the hotel had been forcibly emptied, leaving only the necessary service personnel, in addition to a team of temporarily transferred medical personnel.
"Mr. Ah Guang, I hope you and your agents can still get used to it, now that the situation is special, everything can only be simplified."
An old acquaintance who hadn't seen him for a long time stood in the lobby, and it seemed that he had been waiting for a while.
"Minister Hugo, you seem to have changed so much."
Zhou Jinru looked up and down at this Edmond Hugo, the respected Mr. Minister, the whole person lost weight, his eye sockets were deep, his cheekbones were high and bulging, and he couldn't hide his exhaustion.
Since he fell into a coma at the polling site of the implementation of the Prohibition Act, the bad news has come one after another, and to put it very politely, this is a middle-aged man over forty years old, who is inevitably exhausted and unable to support his body.
"I'm fine, it's the little things that the city really needs help with."
Hugo's voice was hoarse, his eyes were red, and he probably hadn't slept all night.
The two sat down on either side of the coffee table, and the waiter brought two cups of coffee, which was naturally not very mellow, which was already the best thing they could come up with, and they couldn't ask for more.
Zhou Jinru glanced at his watch, it was still very early, Hugo was in a hurry to come to the door, there must be something urgent.
"Mr. Aguang, is it true that your company signed a contract with the Saxon side?"
It turned out to be this thing.
Zhou Jinru nodded, and out of politeness, added: "It's just a temporary contract, and the validity period is not very long. ”
"That Rhine life is ......"
"You mean mobile combat units? They are here, and we fought side by side yesterday, as the police station of the Rose District can testify. ”
Yesterday, after Zhou Jinru knocked out the giant eyeball, after the rain passed, the fat sheriff William took someone to help carry the wounded out of the stagnant water, and waited until they returned to the hotel before leaving.
Hugo asked these two sentences, undoubtedly to confirm which side Zhou Jinru and his Rhode Island were on, and he got an accurate signal:
The three flags of Rhode Island are all genuine, including humanitarian volunteers, Rhine Life's external staff, and Colombian official status (temporary), and it is impossible to move towards a brave new world in any way.
"But I've heard you've made one...... White flag? ”
Hugo felt that this was a bit unspeakable.
But Zhou Jinru didn't hide it in the slightest: "That's also a useful flag, at least I can surrender." ”
"You're really good at laughing."
As the Minister of Housing and Construction, Gui used honorifics in the conversation, which was different from the previous meetings they had met.
Zhou Jinru smiled: "I'm looking forward to another game with gentlemen." ”
Hugo raised his head, looked at him deeply, and shook his head slightly: "Four people died in yesterday's chaos, one is missing, and his whereabouts are still unknown." ”
"I'm sorry, I don't know."
Zhou Jinru apologized, he never expected that even the city officials of St. Martin were killed, and he was a little curious how Hugo, who should have borne the brunt of the disaster, escaped.
At this time, there was a noisy sound outside the hotel, and several tall men broke in, and the security guard at the door couldn't stop them, pushing and pulling all the way to the lobby.
Zhou Jinru fixed his eyes and saw that it was Douglas Walton, the head of the Saxon detective agency in this operation.
The tough-guy man had gauze bandaged on his head, one eye was damaged, and the other was almost bursting with fire.
"Mr. Walton."
Zhou Jinru stood up to greet him, and after Walton hurriedly shook hands, he waved his hand and asked his men to drive the security guard out.
"You're not afraid of revealing your whereabouts?"
Zhou Jinru's curiosity was quickly answered.
Walton sat down, grabbed his hot coffee and took a long sip, muttering Mars, "My people have fought against the security forces of Brave New World." ”
He pointed to his eyes: "This is what they left behind." ”
Zhou Jinru exclaimed: "How is this possible, how can you suddenly exchange fire?!" ”
Because the performance was too pompous, the two bigwigs present rolled their eyes, and Hugo said that Walton almost knocked on the table.
"Everything else is fine, I'm going to see the head of the Rhine life now, I know he's with you."
Zhou Jinru shook his head, took the second cup of coffee from the waiter, and blew a sip: "This can't work, Roberts is too seriously injured, with six fractures all over his body, and he can't get out of bed in half a year, the thing we dealt with yesterday is too powerful, and there are heavy casualties, I'm afraid I won't be able to continue to fulfill the contract." ”
Bang!
Walton slapped the coffee table suddenly, raised his eyebrows and said, "It's the mobile combat unit that has suffered heavy casualties!" ”
Zhou Jinru took a sip of coffee, he was really not afraid of others blowing his beard and glaring at him, and said casually: "I remember I said that we are professional in dealing with the deep sea, but in terms of fighting between people, I'm sorry, I don't have this ability, the isolation zone in the Rose District is still there, why don't you go and see that big guy and come back to talk?" ”
Zhou Jinru assured that what he was doing was within the legal framework of Colombia, and that the Saxon detective agency was asking for him, and now that it was an extraordinary time, they were in dire need of manpower, but they were suffering from no supplements, and wanted to attack him......
Yes, no problem, please show sincerity.
Relying on a loud voice, it's useless.
