When Russell shouted those words, Zhou Jinru was confronting Tallulah.

He moved slowly, staring at Tallulah's face, "What should I call you?" ”

Tallulah bowed slightly: "I can accept the name you know." ”

"I thought you wouldn't admit it."

"That's hard to say, if it weren't for your revolver, maybe I would have had other faces."

Zhou Jinru tilted his head: "Why don't we take a step back and leave here first, to be honest, I don't like those seafood very much." ”

"I don't like it either."

Tallulah put down her sword and said lightly, "Put down your gun, you think you can kill me, maybe you will only kill her." ”

Zhou Jinru was unmoved: "You are willing to have a qualified heir, how long will it take to find the next one, the world will not wait for you." ”

"I have a lot of ways to do it, and I don't care about it."

Tallulah grabbed Mephistopheles' hand and turned around and slashed at it with a sword, and the raging dragon flames destroyed all the dense deep-sea monsters in the corridor, completely destroying the passage, and the collapsed structure formed a new path, a road to the outside world.

Seeing the back of the dragon girl leaving, Zhou Jinru slowly lowered his arm, his tense nerves relaxed a little, and Tallulah in the deep sea state gave him great pressure, and he didn't even dare to shoot, because six bullets would probably not kill the other party, and it would be difficult to say at that time.

Tallulah's retreat eased the tension, and the few people present had no reason to be hostile.

"Now it's your turn."

Russell stared at Zhou Jinru, waiting for his decision.

Zhou Jinru put away the revolver, shook his head and said: "Someone has already chosen, I don't want to change the answer, I'm not a rust belt person, I'm not qualified to judge you." Mr. Timos, I have heard the saying, 'When the people in the wilderness are short of food, even the sages who help them to be free are abominable,' and if you need more help, Rhodes is willing to enter into a cooperation agreement and sign a reasonable written contract, and this is my sincerity. ”

He grabbed Miss Groundhog from behind, took out the hook gun that Mr. KFC had stuffed into him, and with a bang, the rope hook flew towards the erected ceiling, and the two of them took off into the air and left the central control room.

Gravel was hugged by Zhou Jinru, clinging to his chest, and asked in a low voice, "Doctor, is Rhodes really going to be transferred to Timos?" ”

Zhou Jinru let go of his hand, removed the rope hook and put it away, and explained: "This is Rhode Island, but not our Rhode Island, someone is willing to transfer, that's his business, as for everything that the people of the Rust Belt fought for, they paid the price and took back their destiny, which has nothing to do with us, and my sincerity has been brought, you and I are willing to cooperate, not wishful thinking, and we can't afford to raise the Rust Belt if we are hollowed out." ”

At this point, his tone changed: "I asked you to leave, why are you still here?" ”

"I'm worried about you......"

Lill lowered her head aggrievedly, she couldn't help anything, but needed the doctor to distract her.

Now is not the time to speak, there will be time to reflect in the future, Zhou Jinru patted Li's arm and motioned for her to follow.

Li looked at Zhou Jinru's back and bit his lower lip, the doctor has changed a lot from before, and his skills are not bad, the injuries on Tallulah's body should have been caused by him, when did he become so bad?

……

……

There are only three people left in the central control room, Russell, Keisha, and the eldest brother who stayed behind to take care of them, and the undead don't know when they disappeared.

"Father."

Kaisha grabbed Russell's clothes, the middle-aged man's body was quite strong and could protect his daughter, even in the face of the two fierce gods, he was not afraid, and even dared to point his sword at the two.

Russell turned around, looked at his daughter, and patiently asked, "What did you see?" ”

"I, I see a lot of things, I see the moment my life stops, everything is illusory, like a dream, I don't know, I'm alive or not."

In the face of Keisha's panic, Russell pursed his lips and held her hand hard: "You are a living person, why should you deny yourself?" You've been sick for a long time, and now you're well, it's all a new beginning, and that's what the Rhode Island doctor said, and you see his relationship with the female operator, I guess they're lovers, and he should have many more of them, because he likes to call them wings, and he has a lot of wings. ”

"Father?"

"Keisha, you should have a fresh beginning, your life has just begun."

Russell let go of his hand, raised his dagger, studied the blade carefully, and inserted it into the console.

The middle-aged man took a deep breath, the rain hit his face, slid down from the wrinkled forehead, and his cloudy eyes were full of nostalgia:

"Keisha, I've done a lot of wrong things in my life, I'm sorry for many people, but I'm the master of St. Aral, the ruler of the Rust Belt, and I don't recognize many things, and I always owe it to your mother, she is a good woman, and I haven't been comfortable for a few days, I sometimes wonder if I work harder, and she will survive."

He opened his hands and counted them one by one: "I have spent the first half of my life begging for a living on the machine tool, I have craftsmanship, technology, enthusiasm, and hope, as long as I work hard, I can always live a little better, and I fantasize that one day I can become the master of destiny and live for myself,"

"Later I learned that a Rust Belt person is not worthy of hope, we don't have our own mobile city, no future, St. Aral is the largest city in the Rust Belt, both an industrial city and a trading city, but it is still lifeless, young people will leave here for a way out, I walked a few times in the past few years from the south side of the city, that is, the place where you went to elementary school, there are all old houses, tinkering and still living people, look at it, I really want to burn the city with a fire, let our young people come back and rebuild their homes, But on second thought, we should still have our own mobile city, and our destiny should be in our own hands. ”

He put away his third finger: "That year I took you to St. Martin to ask Ivanov for help, he is a very persevering person, and he is also very humane, he said that fate is something to fight for by oneself, not by the pity of others, at that time we were all young, and we could still sit together and drink, halfway through the drink, he said that we can save the world together, anyway, everyone has the day of death, why not fight while alive?" I am a conservative man who prefers to stay in my hometown, and he is a very ambitious man, and St. Martin is too small to accommodate Ivanov and Timos. ”

"But ambition is something that grows, it eats the food called power, it expands rapidly, I went from mastering Sant Aral to controlling the whole territory of the Rust Belt, but in just four years, in the fifth year I expelled the Colombian consuls in the Rust Belt, they tried to deal with me, but they couldn't find my weaknesses, and Ivanov covered for me, and I became the master of the Rust Belt as I wished."

Russell sighed: "But not now, Ivanov is dead, Colombia after the integration of San Martín will soon come to deal with us again, the oppression of the past seems to be gone, and when it is put on us again, it will be more oppressive, I made a choice for the rust belt people, come, Keisha, come here." ”

The middle-aged man grabbed the girl's hand and let her fingers enclose the hilt of the sword inserted into the console.

"Of course, the console doesn't have a lever, and it doesn't need it, because its former owner transferred control to me for a small price."

"Dad, Dad......"

The corners of Russell's mouth rose slightly, and he said with relief: "As a husband, I am a failure, as a father, I am also a failure, I am old, I can no longer fight, but young people are always smarter than us, the new era is yours, let us do something more than the remnants of the old era." ”

The big hand covered the small hand, slowly pushing the hilt of the sword, there was a clicking sound in the console, the color close to black and white slowly receded, their faces regained some brilliance, and the third layer of dreams, lifted.

The back of the girl's hand was cold, the rain fell, and the man holding her hand disappeared without a trace, and beside the console, a pendant fell from the console, and inside was a group photo of a young couple, holding a newborn baby in their arms, and their happy smiles were incomparably brighter.
