Twenty-six-year-old Barnum Zigrin returned home after a day's work.

He is the only one in the Room 409 suite of the Four Seasons Hotel at 67 Speya Avenue.

As an expatriate operator of GTB, he was very satisfied with the accommodation arranged for him by the Duchy, and opened the window, the Grand Duke's mansion, and the "Surut Palace", the symbol of power of the entire Duchy of Gurant.

The Frost Platers loved white and blue and painted their double wombs white, while the Duchy of Gurant worshipped the volcano that nurtured them since ancient times, so painted the country's palace in a passionate vermilion.

To tell the truth, it wasn't that Barnum didn't love his country, but red seemed to be more atmospheric and vivid than white, and he liked it like this, coming home from work every day, pushing open the floor-to-ceiling windows of the balcony, sitting on a chair, while blowing a breeze warmer than frost, while watching the Grand Duke's guard change of guard.

In the apartment across the window from him was a very kind man, bearded, pale-skinned, and obviously of outside origin, and Barnum knew that the other party also liked to watch the changing of the guard, but he couldn't remember the exact time, and every few hours, he had to take out his camera and binoculars to observe.

This land rich in coffee and grains has a golden land endowed by the planet, and the abundant geothermal energy allows him to enjoy hot springs that he has never hoped for in frosting, a higher power artificial sun, and delicious cane sugar.

Even though he had been on a business trip for half a year, he was not too homesick as long as he threw a sugar cube into his coffee and waited for the hotel waiter to deliver the cod, pork stew and salad.

The clock hand cut off the past before six o'clock like a sharp sword, and he, as usual, made it to the balcony chair and began to watch the changing of the guard of the Grand Duke.

It's just that he waited for a long time, and he didn't see the tall and powerful guards in the past.

"It's weird." Barnum thought to himself, confused.

He glanced at the time on his watch to make sure there was nothing wrong with it, so he started playing with the personal terminal to see what news was there.

"At the GTB summit, the diplomatic representative of the Tianhuan Kingdom threw out strong evidence that the Shadow Humanity involved in anti-human experiments is likely to be true, and the spokesperson of Frost Plating said: I don't know about it...... Whatever, it's not a day or two since the big powers poured dirty water on each other."

"The Red Arrow Empire has raised interest rates again, the Derby exchange rate against Jialun has fallen below 9.8, inflation continues, and Frost Plating may adopt strict price management - crazy, if the price is locked at this time, the factory will be shut down directly."

"Zhengxu's immigration qualifications have been improved again, and only 100,000 green cards have been issued this year...... Hey, it's harder."

As a graduate of a prestigious school, Barnum's ambitions are very average, because his parents died early and he did not get married, he just wants to earn enough money to leave the hellish place of frost plating and go to live in a high-welfare state like Jeongwook.

No one likes frost plating, women think it's too scary there, they will be discriminated against if they give birth to a son, and men are even more bitter, and they don't even have a chance to complain.

In fact, if you think about it, the Duchy of Gurant is not bad, but after all, it is a colony, and the quality of the people is uneven, Barnum hopes that his children will still be able to get better educational resources in the future, whether they can get ahead is secondary, and it is best to have the opportunity to chase their dreams.

In that case, it's better to be able to immigrate to Jeongwook, quiet, comfortable, and without war.

However, Barnum found that the above conditions seem to be also ...... in the Gurant

Is it true that he wants to settle in the colony?

Truth be told, Barnum has been here for half a year and has a good impression of the welcoming people, and as an employee of GTB, his main task is to provide energy loans.

In the face of a country like Gurant, which is not short of energy, business is actually very leisurely, and you can wander around the streets and alleys when you have nothing to do.

After a long time, he has some emotions for this side.

Just as Barnum was in a lot of thoughts, his colleague Zhao Senan called him.

"Hey, it's me."

"Yo, Barnum, did you graduate from Gemini University?" Zhao Sen'an asked curiously in a frivolous tone.

"Yes, I just graduated this year, is there any problem?" Barnum wondered.

"Is it the Department of Management?"

"Apparently." Barnum was speechless, if he didn't come to work at GTB to study finance, where else could he go better than this?

"That's right." Zhao Senan said excitedly, "You have a female student in the second grade, named Li Huixi, you know?"

"I have a little impression that I am very beautiful and have a thin waist and long legs, and at our social gathering, my friend encouraged me to invite her to dance, but she thought I was from a poor background and ignored me." Barnum said casually.

"What do you call a little impression? I think you're holding a grudge!" Zhao Senan teased.

"I don't care about things that don't have to be there for a long time, people have to be generous." Barnum said perfunctorily, taking a sip of coffee by the way.

"Li Huixi has gone in for a crime."

"Good death!" Barnum slapped the table and immediately asked excitedly, "What did you do to get in?" She's still in the second grade, is she involved in economic crime?"

"It does matter, Barnum, do you know that "Leoz meme" that has been very popular lately?"

"I don't watch those kinds of videos." Barnum said righteously.

"Don't you look? Then how did you know that Li Oz's speech was published on the Snake Qing website!" Zhao Sen'an said disdainfully: "To tell you the truth, a friend of mine who is the third law told me that Li Huixi is Li Aozi's biological sister, so he arrested her and planned to use her to threaten Li Aozi to surrender."

"Isn't that despicable...... Barnum frowned, "taking criminals' families hostage is essentially no different from criminals."

"Li Oz is no longer a criminal, he killed more than a hundred employees of the Shadows, and was touted as a hero by the people of the outside world." Zhao Senan joked: "This guy has ruined the reputation of our frost-plated people, and he also sells intelligence to other countries, and he deserves his family to be implicated."

"I didn't say Frost Plating was right." Barnum retorted, "Although the Underworld Humanity is wrong, it is also true that Leoz killed unarmed civilians, and it is even more contrary to common sense for the Frost Plating Government to conduct anti-human experiments."

"Someone has to take the blame, it can't be us." Zhao Sen'an smiled, and then said solemnly, "If Frost Plating is subject to international sanctions, maybe the warriors of Tianhuan will take this opportunity to start a war against us, and I plan to take my family from Frost Plating."

"Did you get the Goault? It's not bad, it's safe here."

"Yes, ordinary people like us, let's honestly run to the colonies and the countryside, the soldiers of Tianhuan, we don't have mercy in killing people."

Zhao Sen'an said sadly:

"My wife is still in charge of my three savings cards, last year we took out a loan of 3 million derby, just bought a school district house in Gemini City, Cortana finally went to elementary school, if there is a war and a missile hits our house, where am I going to cry......

"No," Barnum comforted him, "The only thing that can break through the frost-plated capital's anti-aircraft fire is nuclear bombs, and on the bright side, the tens of thousands of households around you don't have school district housing, so don't worry about the children rolling in."

"You are saying this like a man."

At this moment, Barnum suddenly saw an eight-foot-long white cloth falling from the sky above the Surut Palace in the distance, like a butterfly.

Cloth?

But when he looked closely, he found that it seemed to be more than just a white cloth, but a large number of flowing white strips falling in the air, heading straight for the Grand Duke's mansion.

"Barnum?"

"Old Zhao," a cold sweat broke out on Barnum's forehead, he wiped it with his hand, and whispered, "You let your wife stay at home first."

"What?"

The next moment, the strips of white cloth instantly turned into a human form when it approached the ground, and the assaulter in a gliding suit directly smashed the doors and windows and rushed into the Grand Duke's mansion.

Bang! Dada!

For a time, there was a lot of gunfire. The explosions came one after another, and the originally comfortable urban area was broken in an instant

The armored car of the army drove into the street, and Barnum saw the doors and windows of the apartment opposite, and the bearded man, who was usually kind and gentle, carried a missile launcher, aimed it at the armored car on the ground, and pulled the trigger.
