Chapter 19: Goal, Dragon Gate
In just half a day, Zhao Xi can only have a general understanding of Terra, but fortunately, there are many similarities between it and the earth in terms of environment, history, and culture, so that young people can substitute knowledge in the real world---
It's not enough to be 'Terraton', but at least Kelsey can understand four or five percent when he communicates with Amiya.
Despite her petite size and immature face like a child, the girl sitting in the main seat of the conference room is exuding an uncompromising aura at the moment. "The integration movement is dominated by infected people and uses the slogan of 'fighting for the status of the infected', but what they have done has completely gone astray."
"They are inciting the infected, creating chaos and destruction, and Rhode Island must act now to stop their atrocities!"
Standing up and clenching her pink fists, Amiya made a loud statement, but unfortunately her negotiation partner was also strong in aura, and did not make any compromises because of this. "I refuse your offer."
"Rhodes needs to evacuate the region as quickly as possible to the expected mobile city of Sevasto, and the reception of Chernobog refugees is already the limit, and we should not be involved in this dispute."
"But, but, those who are infected..."
"Whatever you think, I stand by my judgment, Amiya."
Looking back and forth between the embarrassed Amiya and the cold Kelsey, Zhao Xi quietly approached the people around him, lowered his voice and asked, "What is an infected person?" ”
His head swayed from side to side like a windshield wiper, and he pulled a candy out of his pocket, and the doctor expertly tore open the plastic wrapper. "Do you know about pneumoconiosis, brother?"
"It's like working in a coal mine, and if you inhale dust for many years, you will suffer from a disease, and if you get it, you will have difficulty breathing and die in pain."
"The official name of the infected person is ore disease patient, and the symptoms are similar to pneumoconiosis," he said, throwing candy into his mouth, most of the doctor's face was covered by a mask, so that Zhao Xi could not know his expression when he replied. "But infected people are more troublesome than pneumoconiosis, which is highly contagious."
That's really troublesome, a highly lethal infectious disease is a big threat everywhere, nodding in agreement with the doctor's conclusion, someone also realized that when he returned to Rhode Island yesterday, the medical operatives were like a great enemy for testing. "What are the results of your medical examination?"
"I don't know--- rest assured, brother." Easily guessing Zhao Xi's thoughts, the man smiled and comforted at the same time, and took out another piece of candy from his pocket. "If we are infected, Kelsey will definitely say that although our wife has a bad temper, she is still very attentive to us~~"
I am very grateful to the other party for his timely and popular explanation, but a certain title of the doctor still makes Zhao Xi cry and laugh. "Well, if you like it, I'm still not involved."
"I don't mind."
“... Why don't I relay it to Kelsey and ask her what she thinks? ”
"Brother, we have no grudges and no hatred, you don't want to be like this~"
"Beau, Doctor, and Mr. Miller." The two were still whispering, and Amiya was already in trouble and had to ask for help from others. "You help convince Dr. Kelsey to allow Rhode Island to intervene in this operation!"
"And Miss Coruhill, you can talk too!"
"Oh, call me?" Busy typing something on her laptop, the black-haired woman narrowed her eyes when she heard this, pursed her lips and chuckled, "To be honest, I'm more supportive of Kelsey." ”
"Why?"
"It's too expensive."
"That's the head of engineering, your titular boss." Pointing at the woman who sternly refused Amiya's request, the doctor took the opportunity to give Zhao Xi a popular science. "She knows some truths about the other world, and Kelsey says she can be trusted."
"Okay, don't cry, little rabbit, your pretty face will become ugly~" Seeing the isolated Amiya pestle in place, her eyes gradually moistened, and the man in the iron mask finally stopped whispering to Zhao Xi and stood up with his hands on the table. "I support your decision."
"Beau, Doctor!?" Her ears were instantly raised high, and the girl leaped into the arms of the man in the iron mask, wrapping her hands around his somewhat thin body. "I knew that even though you lost your memory, this heart would not change!"
"Haha, maybe." Touching the girl's brown ponytail, the Man in the Iron Mask looked at Kelsey as if he was about to kill. "Don't be so fierce, although more people will die in the integration movement, but it is necessary."
Raising his hand to stop Kluhill from trying to speak, Kelsey sat down slowly. "I want to hear about it."
Not at all afraid of someone's momentum, the doctor asked Amiya, who had calmed down, to return to the main seat, and then raised a finger. "First and foremost, Rhode Island Pharmaceuticals was founded to improve the plight of infected people in Terra and to find a permanent cure for ore disease. There is no doubt that the integration movement will completely undo the efforts that Rhode Island has, or has not yet begun, to the ground. ”
It turns out that Rhode Island was established for such a noble ideal, the first time he knew the ultimate goal of the organization, Zhao Xi couldn't help but be in awe, and next to him, the doctor's explanation continued. "Instead of using a hundredfold, or even a thousandfold, of dedication and sincerity in the future to prove that the infected can live in harmony with ordinary people, why not stop the integration movement now? In terms of value for money, this is a good deal. ”
"But if you do that, you'll kill more people." Picking up the document that Lu Hill had just distributed to everyone, and Zhao Xi hadn't yet read it, the woman said in a flat tone: "In order to rescue the doctor, Rhode Island has sacrificed ten regular operators, one elite operator, and three reserve operators, if you want to deal with the leader of the integration movement..."
"More people will die, I know." Nodding vigorously, the doctor seemed to give up but changed his words, and his eyes turned to Amiya with a complicated expression. "Little bunny, did those operators know they might die when they accept the mission?"
After a long silence, the sadness on the girl's face dissipated, and her head shook up and down.
"Any achievement requires sacrifice, especially in this-and-nothing world, but to stop in order to save one's life is not only sorry for the efforts of the deceased, but also sorry for the people who joined Rhode Island with their hearts."
"Taking a step back, as long as the command is done properly, I am confident that the casualties will be minimized." Raising his head and patting his chest, the doctor turned the negotiator to Zhao Xi again. "Brother, I know you're not interested in political schemes, I just want to ask you a ---"
"Having witnessed what happened in Chernobog, do you want to walk away and let those guys continue to cause trouble, or do you support the little rabbit's plan and teach the integration movement a 'little lesson'?"
Inner reason told him that Amiya's plan was risky and had nothing to do with her mission. But Zhao Xi has never been a very rational person. Closing his eyes with a serious expression, one after another appeared in front of his eyes:
The burly white bear pushed the two into the room, then closed the door and used his body to block the front;
Zoya's eyes were red and she looked at the middle-aged woman who had fallen to the ground and had lost her breath, and finally slowly stood up, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and resolutely turned to leave;
The young girl hung upside down in the lamp, her heart was opened, the blood flowed down like a stream, dripping onto the burning flames, making a sizzling sound, and the men wearing breathing apparatus gathered around the lamp, judging this 'work of art', and laughing from time to time.
The picture gradually faded away, and in front of him were people with different expressions looking at him, rubbing his chin with his fingers, and Zhao Xi made a decision in his heart. "If there's going to be a fight, I can help the field."
"Okay, three votes for two, we won." High-fived Amiya, who was excited, surprised, and a little confused, and leaned forward and chuckled: "Since you want to fight, you have to find allies first, and Rhode Island's current strength is definitely not good for heads-up integration sports... What is the nearest mobile city in Ursas? ”
"Sevasto, about one hundred and seventy kilometers, three days away." The plan was approved, and Amiya was in a good mood and took the initiative to operate the projector.
"Three days is too long, is there anything closer?".
"Ursas is gone, only the Dragon Gate of the Yan Country... In this. "Zoom in on the map, and the rabbit-eared girl points to an area." Forty-seven kilometers and can be reached in one day. ”
"Then let's go to Longmen~"
