The thick notebook with a brown cover was flipped open, the old paper rattled, and the finger guard turned to the last page of the record, which contained a letter of appointment.

The dim light shone on the short gray hair of the Mounted Police Captain, and a pair of pointed ears twitched slightly.

The order moved her from a remote county far away to a small mobile city near the border, precisely to escort a convoy that had already been revealed on the way to belong to the Swire Group.

With her head in one hand and the other in the other, Graney carefully recalls her intersection with the Swire group two years ago, when she and one of the eldest ladies of the Swire group used to work in the same pharmaceutical company.

"Captain."

An accompanying mounted police officer approached and handed her a lunch box with boiling water.

Grani took the lunch box and thanked him, then gently flicked the hot liquid with a small spoon, his thoughts wandering.

Could it be that the eldest lady is looking for something for herself?

Or is there something wrong with that team?

I heard that the border has not been safe recently, there are not only bandits, but also rebels, and even her mounted police team is equipped with steam mechs, which was unimaginable before.

"How long do we have to get there?"

A companion next to him looked at the map: "About half a day, I can meet with the convoy tomorrow morning." ”

Syllable.

Grani closed his notebook and ordered, "Prepare for a break, change the guard in two hours, call me when it's time." ”

It's still a long night tonight.

……

……

"It's boring at night."

Shi Huaiya, who was sleeping in the car, rested her long legs on the seat boringly, and after the curtains were closed on the windows, she began to become unscrupulous.

Chen and Xingxiong, who were also sleeping in the car, didn't have so many ideas, the three of them just chatted a few words, and the general content was what happened in Longmen recently, and they were not arguing all the time when they were quiet.

"So now you've been swept away by Lord Wei?"

"Miss Shi, needless to say, Ah Chen is just taking a temporary leave for a while."

Shi Huaiya's tail paused, grinding her back molars: "How many times have you said it, don't call me Miss Shi!" ”

Star Bear ignored her.

Chen, who had been silent for a long time, couldn't help but complain: "Do you sleep or not?!" ”

Shi Huaiya looked out the car window Nunu and said, "Look, I haven't slept outside." ”

"The Doctor is playing outside with the child, can this compare?"

"I don't want to sleep, I'm going to play."

Shi Huaiya straightened her waist and wanted to get up from the seat, but Xingxiong stopped her first: "Miss Shi, if you get up like this, you will hit your head." ”

"Oh, thank you."

Shi Huaiya's face turned red, but fortunately there were no lights in the car, and others couldn't see her blushing.

Chen turned over: "Remember to put on your clothes before going out." ”

……

……

“…… Ruper shouted, 'Why don't we go to the dragon gate together and take the bird's seat!' ’”

Halfway through the story, a scolding suddenly came from not far away: "Doctor, you are arranging the dragon gate again!" ”

This rebuke was full of majesty, and as soon as I heard it, I knew that it was Chen coming.

Zhou Jinru immediately closed his mouth, and said in his heart, Didn't the three of you go to sleep, why did you suddenly appear again?

The trio of Superintendents of the Dragon Gate are coming this way, and their arrival makes it impossible for the story to continue, and the children who listen to the story have to go to bed, after all, it is not too early.

"Now the story can't be told."

Zhou Jinru spread his hands and expressed his helplessness.

When the convoy walked into the wilderness, in addition to sleeping in the car, some people also chose to set up tents, and after arranging the outposts, they could take turns to rest.

Chen frowned and said, "Don't tell those stories, they will teach bad children." ”

"Sir, are you going to go to the police too?"

Zhou Jinru put on an exaggerated expression, folded his hands and said: "The people who come to listen to the story are not all children, in addition to the lack of the captain's reserve group, there are also several Black Steel and the saintess of the Snow Realm, Lyudmila is a child, but do you really treat her as a child?" ”

Chen didn't speak, but raised his eyes and looked a few more times, confirming that there was still a senior senior operator in the darkness who did not show up, and it should have been sent by the Rhode Island higher-ups to protect the doctor.

"Okay, what the hell is going on with the three of you?"

Shi Huaiya's eyes lit up and said, "Doctor, Sir Chen wants to consult you about your life experience." ”

"No," Zhou Jinru looked serious, "My life experience will not give you an extra second or a second less, don't listen." ”

Chen pushed Shi Huaiya: "Don't listen to her nonsense, what life experience, what kind of thing, I just see that you are too boring, and I want to chat casually." ”

"Sit."

Zhou Jinru pointed to the low pier opposite.

Chen and the other three sat opposite him, looking at each other, and no one knew how to speak first.

"Say whatever you want, don't be so formal, everyone is a companion."

Chen hesitated again and again, but still asked the question in his heart: "Doctor, what is the current integration movement like?" ”

What kind of ......

On the one hand, the huge casualties and disasters caused by the integration movement cannot be erased, that is to say, if the situation needs to be calmed down, then someone must pay the price, at least to give an explanation to those who died;

On the other hand, the current integration movement, led by Tallullah, is going in a different direction, and seems to have made a break from the image of the thugs of the past, producing food and collecting more infected people, as if forming a base camp for the infected, and if this continues, more and more infected people will support them.

In the end, quantitative changes will inevitably lead to qualitative changes, not to mention, there are some-stirring sticks that add oil and vinegar to them.

"The current integration movement is not something that Rhode Island can handle, as long as they don't make any big mistakes, don't do anything hurtful, almost no country can move them."

Zhou Jinru picked up a branch at his feet, gently stirred the campfire, and the sparks shone on his face: "We all know that in order to alleviate the contradiction of a large number of infected people after the eruption of the Tista volcano, countries had to establish communities of infected people in remote territories, except for the fact that they did not move the city, they can almost be said to be independent, from the perspective of a doctor, the physique of the infected and the infected is very different, and some of the infected people's symptoms will deteriorate rapidly in a short period of time, and eventually die, And some infected people don't, and can even live for another ten years, guess what will become of these people? ”

Chen was silent, and the star bear beside her said, "A new center of power will be formed, everywhere, even the gangs in the slums of Longmen will elect a leader." ”

"The contradictions between the infected and the non-infected are not eased by the establishment of communities, the contradictions are preserved, waiting for the moment when they really erupt, sometimes igniting a dense forest, all it takes is an insignificant spark."

When Zhou Jinru said this, he paused, smiled and shook his head: "Look at me, as a person, I will become extremely serious when I talk about this. ”

He casually threw the branch into the fire and asked: "Sir Chen, I heard that you graduated from the Royal Guards University of Victoria, do you know any classmates who happen to be free, I am really too busy here, I need some manpower, you just need to introduce, I will pay the salary, I must give him a number that he can't refuse." ”

Chen's face was a little strange: "180,000 Dragon Gate Coins? ”

"That's not all, if you think about how much money you take, it adds up to 700,000 yuan."

Although 700,000 is not worth a piano from Shi Huaiya's house.

Chen shook his head: "I don't know many people in the school, and there are very few civilians in the Royal Guards University who can enroll, for some people, seven hundred thousand is an astronomical number, for others, maybe these are not worth mentioning." ”

When Zhou Jinru heard this, he found that his thinking had entered a misunderstanding, he had always thought that hundreds of thousands of Longmen coins were a big number in everyone's eyes, because the vast majority of Rhode Island operators thought so, but this condition did not work in Victoria, because the latter is an extremely powerful country.

The people who can go to the Royal Guard University are almost not ordinary people, just like the middle-class parents in the previous life had to send their children to a noble school in the West when their heads were sharpened.

Zhou Jinru smiled implicitly: "Since you say so, then I have to tell them about my life ideals." ”

"Well, these questions will have to wait until we get to Lentinium."

It was late at night, and they talked about two more topics, and then went back to rest.

Zhou Jinru didn't have to keep vigil, he slept until dawn, and when he got up, he saw that the changing of the guard was about to rest.

"Breeze."

The breeze carrying the staff yawned and walked over, and said angrily, "What's the matter?" ”

"What's our itinerary for today?"

The breeze glanced at him, as if to say you don't even know this?

She rubbed her red eyes: "The first stop on our trip today is a land settlement more than thirty kilometers away, where we will meet the mounted police team sent by Victoria, and then under their escort to Lentinium, we will spend more than ten days together on the way." ”

"Okay, I know, you go and rest."

Seeing the breeze leave, Zhou Jinru stopped in place and fell into deep thought, Shi Huaiya once hinted that the captain of this mounted police team had something to do with Rhode Island, and he felt that the other party should be Glenny, so the question is, when Gleney left Rhode Island, it was Scati who went to chase the ghost shark, and now the little mounted police have settled in Victoria and have been promoted to a higher level, where is Scati?

He thought it was most likely that Scati was somewhere in Victoria, including the ghost shark.

There are more and more operators gathered here, Zhou Jinru faintly feels that something is not good, of course it is a good thing to be able to get people back, but if there are more people, it means that something is going to happen.

He was a little skeptical that there was something wrong with his physique, and that something would happen everywhere he went......

……

……

"Captain, in front of you is the land settlement, this is a community of infected people, because of its proximity to the trade route, so it has now become a rest stop when the convoy passes by, according to the intelligence, it provides car repair services, catering services, and a comfortable rest environment."

Gleney listened to the report of his subordinates, looked at the settlement hidden in the faint mist in front of him, hung the spear in the victory hook of the saddle, and said sideways: "This is also a well-informed place, repair in situ, arrange sentinels, old rules, two bright and one dark. ”

She reached out and pressed the epaulette, and now she was no longer the young mounted policeman who would go up and fight the bounty hunter when she saw it.

"Captain, where are you going?"

"There may be old friends, I'll go there myself."

"Going alone?"

Grani pursed her lips: "It's inconvenient to have too many people. ”

If it's just her, the situation is not right, and she can retreat at any time.

The captain of the mounted police rode forward, the horse's hooves kicking up mud spots, and the figure gradually disappeared into the faint mist.

……

……

"Victoria has such a big fog every day?"

Zhou Jinru looked at the fog outside, and said in his heart where did this water vapor come from, he got out of the car and walked around, his eyebrows and hair were damp.

"The fog is already very light, Doctor, in my hometown, if there is a foggy day, you have to light the lighthouse in the middle of the city, otherwise the nearby convoy will be lost."

The breeze looked at the mist and felt a little kind, this is what it feels like to be home.

"Okay, do as the locals do."

Zhou Jinru pinched his nose and recognized, who let this be a regional characteristic of others.

Seeing that it was about to enter the settlement, the convoy only walked past the side of the road, and did not go deep into it, and few people from the Swire Group convoy would intercept it halfway, and few of the armed personnel of their own convoy came to rob without a long eye.

It wasn't long before news came from the front of the convoy that they had met with the Mounted Police force.

"So fast?"

"There's only one person."

Zhou Jinru looked puzzled: "So cautious? ”

Then the second message came back: "The Mounted Captain's name is Grani. ”

It's really a little pony.

Zhou Jinru was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "I want to meet her." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a horse rushing out of the fog that blocked his vision, and the girl on horseback glanced over with a pair of sharp eyes, the tall ponytail swayed up and down with the bumps of the mount, and the moment the four eyes met, the metal boots in the stirrups were cocked, and the female knight turned over and dismounted cleanly, and she stood outside the car window with her short stature, staring at the face inside through a layer of vague mist.

The car door opened, the heel hit the pedal, Zhou Jinru stepped out of the car step by step, looking at the mounted police captain opposite, she seemed to have grown up, although her figure did not grow taller, but her temperament changed a lot and became calm.

Her eyes were excited, but her expression remained steadfast.

"I've thought about a lot of scenarios, but I didn't think of a doctor."

Zhou Jinru looked left and right: "Maybe the publicity of Rhode Island is not in place, and the news of Victoria is so closed?" ”

Then, he opened his arms, and he was greeted not by the girl's embrace, but by a silver-glittering spear pointed at him.

"Grani!"

Chen shouted, but the first person to rush out of the car was Wrapping Pill, and the ghost girl held her nagina high to meet her.

"It doesn't matter!"

Zhou Jinru stretched out his hand to stop the winding pill.

"Ugh."

Grani's expression was complicated, his metal boots stomped lightly, let out a sigh, threw away the spear in his hand, and rushed up to hug Zhou Jinru.
