Chapter 12. Rust Belt

May had lived in Rhode Island for a while, and knew a little bit about it, she hadn't left since she was sent to Rhode Island at a distant date, and of course, she couldn't leave now if she wanted to.

"I owe so much money?!"

This is May's first reaction when she sees the bill, and her second reaction is to find a way to escape from here, what are you kidding, Rhode Island Pharmaceuticals is not a good stubble, the original Penguin employees have all worked here, she continues to stay here, and the end may not be much better.

Later, she found out that Rhode Island did not require her to pay these debts, and the most important thing was that she did not know where to go when she left Rhode Island, and some employees also proposed to her to pay off the debts by part-time jobs, which seemed reasonable.

"But are you really not worried about the patient refusing to pay the medical bill and running away?"

She got this answer:

"The gate is there, the patient can leave at any time, and the question is who can guarantee that they will never get sick in the future? In particular, the only medical facility that can properly treat the disease is Rhode Island, but all the infected people who have been here are reluctant to leave. ”

Everyone wants to live.

Even if a patient is planning to plot against the Doctor, then what awaits him is the Staff of Doctor Garville.

So May settled in Rhode Island with peace of mind, and she underwent various tests in the personnel department, and finally joined the sniper department, officially becoming an operator.

"Have you all heard of the undead? He's a very powerful sniper, in short, much better than me, and I'm not saying I'm weak, don't look at me like that, I'm Victoria's royal detective! ”

May chirped, apparently most people didn't take her words seriously.

Until one day later, she saw a pheasant sent by the snow.

In the face of her old friend who she hadn't seen for a long time, Mei was very happy in her heart, but Snow Pheasant didn't want to pay attention to her, to be precise, Snow Pheasant fell into self-isolation.

"Snow pheasant, what's wrong with you, you can tell me, let's solve the problem together, are you also being collected by Rhode Island?"

Mei's noise didn't attract any attention from the pheasant, and she was quickly carried aside by the passing iron-eating beasts.

"You have no results like this, we have a saying in Yanguo that heart disease still needs heart medicine, only if she is willing to open her heart, others will have the opportunity to help him, otherwise she can only continue like this, until one day she comes out by herself."

Mei nodded as if she didn't understand, what should have happened to the snow pheasant to become like this, she actively went to investigate in this area, but the results she got surprised her!

It turns out that the suffering of St. Martin during this time is from the former boss of Brave New World, and the research topic of Snow Pheasant indirectly leads to the occurrence of suffering, in other words, she is an accomplice.

"What can I do, what is the best way?"

May thought about it, but couldn't think of a way, she asked Ambiel, who she already knew, for advice, and unsurprisingly didn't get the desired result, but Amber was not without ideas, and she suggested that May seek help from Dr. Kelsey.

"Dr. Kelsey, I've heard that she is a very strict person, should I consult her......

Just when Mei was confused, Zhou Jinru watched Amiya put a stack of banknotes and fragmentary coins on the bedside table, and wondered, "What are these?" ”

He doesn't remember losing any money.

Amiya counted the money with her slender hand, counted it and put it away, and said, "This is when the doctor was in St. Martin, he used to lend money to a man named Dunbar, but the person who owed the money disappeared, and the rest was returned by his colleague." ”

Zhou Jinru thought about it, there was indeed this matter, a few days after the prohibition of alcohol, he and the silver fox had stopped in another outer city, and met a person who robbed because of hunger on the road, so he lent him a little money, I thought there would be no result, but I didn't expect to return it, it was incredible.

"The guy named Dunbar, I have a bit of an impression that he disappeared? What's going on, did it disappear in the distant future? ”

Amiya sat next to Zhou Jinru, she was busy with a day's work, and her free time would always be spent at the doctor's place.

Although there was still a sofa in the doctor's room, and Durin was covered with a coat and sleeping soundly, Zhou Jinru did not refuse her request to rest here, because he still expected Durin to bring the myrtle back from outside on a whim......

"At present, it is the case, a considerable number of people in St. Martin have disappeared in the distant future, the total number is not less than 1,000, this number is enough to attract the attention of the authorities, after all, in such a special environment, groups of more than 1,000 people want to travel, it is bound to leave traces, but ......"

Amiya made a bubble-bursting motion: "There is nothing left, disappear without a trace, no one can find them." ”

She glanced at the canned fruit on the bedside table and complained, "The doctor always likes to eat these things, it's very unhygienic, and he should eat something fresh." ”

As she spoke, she picked up the apples from the fruit basket and began to peel them, with an amazing skill.

"This Dunbar has also disappeared in the distant future, even if he is dead, I hope this clue will not be broken, what family do he and his colleagues have?"

Zhou Jinru was a little curious about what strange things happened in that distant date, when the viscous darkness came.

Amiya carefully peeled the apple: "I knew that the doctor would dig a little deeper into them, when Dunbar's colleagues came to pay back the money, I asked the operator in charge of recording to ask a few questions, they were originally workers from the Rust Belt, former working families, there are many factories and manufacturing there, because of the rapid development of mobile cities, they lost their original jobs, so they came to St. Martin to look for opportunities, and now they all want to go back." ”

"The Rust Belt, is there a traditional steel city in Colombia?"

Amiya peeled the apple, cut off a piece with a fruit knife, handed it to Zhou Jinru, watched him eat it, and then said with satisfaction: "The history of the doctor needs to be studied carefully, the rust belt is just a title, in the era when the mobile city has not yet risen, the heavy industry city is the foundation of a country, and then natural disasters become more and more frequent, and the city as a unit began to build a mobile city, heavy industry ushered in the most glorious moment, their productivity has increased hundreds of times compared with the past fifty years, Corresponding to this is a large number of workers. ”

"You can imagine how glorious it was to build a ship the size of a city, and that era is also called the era of sailing."
