Chapter 12. chewing gum
After a long night, St. Aral barely managed to maintain order, and it was Russell Timos's united gang that maintained order.
The news of the ship's presence on the Broken Avenue spread like a cold wind from the northwestern ice field of Ursas in winter, blowing quickly and quickly across the land, and all the citizens knew about the ship's existence, and at the same time, they also learned of the death of the former leader.
Although the tiger is dead, Yu Wei is still there, and Russell's shadow still firmly controls the city.
Under the faint street lamp, a man in a coat carried a wine bottle, glanced at the poster posted on the notice board with drunken eyes, and muttered: "The eldest lady is on the big ship, those bastards are thinking about how to set up their own doors, if Mr. Timos is still here, I would have cut off your heads!" ”
His voice, though slight, was heard by the Rhode Island operatives across a wall.
Shi Huaiya, who was sitting in the temporary headquarters, stretched her sore body, yawned without any image, and handed over a piece of paper in her hand: "It has been ascertained that a small gang in gray jackets is ready to surrender to Colombian officials, after all, this is still Colombian territory, some things are not easy to say clearly, a considerable number of people here have similar wants, as long as the life can still pass, even if they can't board the mobile city, it will not matter." ”
"Miss Shihuaiya, you should rest, the evacuation of the city has been delayed, if ......"
Shi Huaiya shook her head: "There is no if, I have a number of my body, I just stayed up late, it is not a big problem." ”
She stood up, gently thumped her back, reached out to open the corner of the curtain, and looked through the window at the city that had fallen into darkness, her side face looking particularly haggard in the not-so-bright light.
"Instructor Tenlei, you are Colombian, you know the country best, what do you think will happen next?"
Jian Lei stood at the desk, his eyes never left the document handed to her by Shi Huaiya, and said slowly: "Use some superficial and reasonable interests to buy those ordinary people who are not strong enough, suppress those who have a certain amount of power in St. Aral, and if necessary, take strong measures to kidnap, destroy, and even assassinate." ”
Shi Huaiya turned around and sighed: "It's nothing more than the same three things, pulling one faction, fighting one faction, dividing one faction, but these must be based on the situation that St. Jaral will not appear as a formed armed force to control, to be honest, I don't think Russell Timos will have no successor, although he is dead, the legacy he left is still functioning normally." ”
Since leaving the army, there has not been much nostalgia in her heart, she is a standard Colombian, but there is an essential difference from traditional Colombians.
Jian Lei stroked the hair around his ears and said with a smile: "Is Miss Shi Huaiya really just an ordinary eldest lady?" ”
"Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"
"Falsehood."
Shi Huaiya glared at Jian Lei, and then said righteously: "Everything I do is for the better development of Rhode Island in the future, don't misinterpret what I mean." ”
Jian Lei shook his head: "This is the truth, and it is meaningless to use the truth as a lie." ”
Shi Huaiya was a little discouraged, and complained: "Even if I tell the truth, there are so many people around him, all of them are charming, and their strengths are different, how can I compare, I am the eldest lady is good, but even if I inherit the family property in the future, I can't let my temperament come, and the help I can give him is even smaller, you look at what my competitors are, the royal family of Victoria, the angel of Sakota, and the fallen angel, the messenger flying around, alas, it's better not to give me hope......"
Shi Huaiya is very tired and tired, a long time ago, she chased a person to the Royal College of Victoria, but in the end, the family gained a roommate of Vaifan's fan sister, and after returning to Longmen, she was promoted to director, and the partner of the ghost clan from the sky was inseparable, only she went farther and farther.
Why is it so hard to win once, or is it that she can't win at all?
Jian Lei pinched his chin and said thoughtfully: "Miss Shi Huaiya, I seem to have heard the doctor say once, he said that there is a big problem with your identity, so there is a phenomenon of being overtaken everywhere. ”
Shi Huaiya raised her head vigilantly: "What did he say?" ”
"He said, you're a half-breed lady, with blond hair and a polysyllabic name, and you're going to lose."
Giggles, gurgles.
The little tiger clenched his fists, his knuckles rattled, and he gritted his teeth and said: "I remember this matter, and I will ask him for clarification when I go back, thank you for the reminder." ”
"No, you'd better forget that I told you ......"
A trace of cold sweat left on Jian Lei's forehead, and he vaguely felt that he had done something wrong.
……
……
"Thank you for your help, we will conduct a close survey, please pay attention to the safety of the surrounding area."
The Rhode Island Disaster Assessment Team is surveying an underground source stone vein mine in St. Arral, and the surrounding lights are so bright that it looks like daylight.
Doberman nodded, telling the Reserve to stay on their toes, as they would blast and suppress the Source Stone Vein creature tokens as soon as they appeared.
"Miss Absinthe, this is your weapon, and I have performed simple maintenance on the etching circle."
Wearing a modified Rhode Island uniform, Absinthe takes the revolver from Steward, which is actually her staff.
"Stewart, your craft is really good."
Absinthe marveled, and she noticed that the staff that had been maintained had improved its accuracy.
"It's all the little things."
A hint of melancholy flashed between Steward's eyebrows, after the leader of their reserve group, Melantha, returned to Victoria a month ago, so that Rhode Island lost contact with him, so that now when the reserve group is dispatched, it is necessary to transfer an operator to supplement the combat effectiveness, and even the Dubin instructor is on it himself.
Fortunately, they only helped their companions to conduct surveys, and they carried out this kind of task dozens of times, and they were familiar with all kinds of situations, even if they encountered some dangers, as long as they blew up the mine and held it until dawn, the problem was naturally solved after direct sunlight.
"Mr. Steward, you look unhappy?"
"It's okay, I'm going to stay up late today, do you want some chewing gum?"
Absinthe nodded: "What taste?" ”
"Durian and strawberry."
"Durian?"
Absinthe was stunned for two seconds, and said with a wry smile: "Is the taste so heavy?" ”
"Ha, in order to refresh yourself, it's okay to have a heavier taste, Doctor often eats spicy candy in order to refresh yourself, it's sour and spicy, I brought one, do you want to experience it?"
Chutney......
Absinthe shook her head, she hadn't reached the point where she couldn't get along with her palate: "It's strawberry-flavored." ”
I took the gum, tore open the package, and chewed it gently, the sweet taste spread in my mouth.
"Not bad, right?"
"Hmm."
Dubin's gaze suddenly projected: "Where did the gum come from?" ”
"Forehead ......"
