Chapter 50: The Calm Before the War (Asking for Votes)
Since separating from Coco, Rorschach and the Ghost have returned to Africa, where a large collection of his equipment is still waiting to be transported.
Since exposing the undercover R in Koko's team, Rorschach has lost contact with Koko and the others for a while.
On the one hand, Kou Ko needs to deal with internal conflicts, and R is already her admitted partner, but the partner is doing things for others. This sense of disparity has turned the queen into an indecisive princess.
On the other hand, Rorschach needs to distance itself from HCLI.
After several transactions with HCLI, the HCLI liaison had several communications with Rorschach, and the liaison had hinted at whether Rorschach needed to launch satellites, and that rockets could carry some indescribable explosives in their launch loads.
This is interesting, the HCLI company is the private property of Freud Heckmedia, and the liaison must have described the will of Freud himself.
As a logistics tycoon, Freud himself looked forward to a change in the world, and only then would his company continue to grow.
This naked temptation made Rorschach wonder if his deal with HCLI would still go ahead.
So Rorschach began the conflict with Coco, allowing the original Coco team to break out as a buffer, so as to create more time for himself.
Rorschach looked at the report in front of him, this industrial base, which once belonged to the Great Star Sea Company, had almost been demolished.
Chen Guoming's death allowed HCLI to swallow everything he had in Africa. This result also let Rorschach know that Chen Guoming is not the spokesperson of the red will. After all, the military can't do business.
Putting down the report, Rorschach looked at the hidden door and said, "Qianxia, come in if you have something, don't be sneaky......"
Chixia was called in by Rorschach, but Chixia leaned against the wall with an embarrassed look.
"That...... I ......"
Qianxia, who muttered, didn't say a complete sentence for a long time.
It was the first time Rorschach had seen Chixia like this, and asked, "What the hell is wrong?" ”
"I ...... I picked it up...... Picked it up......"
"Pick up what? Cat or dog? Bring it back to the brood for an examination, and get vaccinated? ”
Rorschach didn't realize it, and replied to Chixia indifferently.
But Chixia still looked at Rorschach hesitantly, and just as she mustered up the courage to speak, there was a knock on the door next to her.
"Come in!"
Joseph Allen, the original private of the class, pushed the door and walked in, saluted Rorschach, and said, "Director, I have something to report!" ”
Rorschach shifted his gaze to Allen, only to find that the corners of his eyes were blue, as if he had just been hit hard.
At this time, Rorschach looked at Chixia on the side, and then at Allen, who came to sue.
Somewhat helplessly, he asked, "What happened?" ”
"Chinatsu brought back a woman, very strong. There was a little conflict just now when I asked her to be examined, but it was a bit of a big fuss......"
Qianxia just said that she picked up something, but it was actually a person? Still strong?
Rorschach raised his eyebrows and said, "So you were beaten by a woman?" ”
In the face of Rorschach's ridicule, Alan couldn't refute it. Just standing straight.
Rorschach got up from his seat and said, "Let's go, let's go and see...... And Qianxia, don't talk about things in the future......"
Chisha stuck out her tongue in embarrassment, gave Alan an apologetic look, followed Rorschach, and began to tell how she had met the woman.
The factory, which was about to be demolished, was used as a temporary stop for Rorschach and others, but so many people's food had to be bought in a small town several kilometers away.
It was when Qianxia was buying supplies that she met such an abandoned person.
That person's unique momentum and threat were immediately detected by Chinatsu, who was the biological perception radar.
Then, as if taking in an abandoned puppy, Chinatsu brought her back. While Chixia was thinking about how to explain to Rorschach, somehow, the person she brought back had a physical altercation with Elan, who was the gatekeeper.
Arriving at the site of the conflict, Rorschach was presented to a group of big men, holding guns at an unarmed woman.
The woman's short ear-length hair was already stranded, and she looked like she hadn't been combed for a long time, but she looked not to be outdone, as if she was saying that she would pull a cushion on her back if she died.
Cutting through the crowd, Rorschach came to the front and pressed the muzzle of the gun in the hands of a nervous Nicholas on the side.
"Don't be nervous, it's an acquaintance, let's all disperse. Chixia went to take her to take a bath, and we met in the cafeteria......"
Since Rorschach had spoken, the crowd of onlookers returned to their posts, but vaguely a heavily armed squad stood around Rorschach, and the faint muzzle of the gun never moved away from the enemy.
Watching Qianxia lead people away, Rorschach patted Allen's shoulder on the side and said, "Being beaten by a woman, you have to train hard, Allen." ”
Rorschach's departure made Alan stay where he was a little crying and laughing.
The people who had dispersed appeared next to Allen at this moment, and everyone came over and patted Allen on the shoulder, following Rorschach's example.
"You're done, the ghost will definitely give you more training......"
"Maybe it's soap? He likes to preach......"
"Maybe two of you together?"
"Alan, you're dead......"
"Mourning!"
In the cafeteria, Rorschach looked at the woman who was eating frantically in front of her, thinking about her message.
Luo Kelian, once Chen Guoming's personal bodyguard, a soldier who regards his mission as his life. Similarly, she also inherited Chen Guoming's weird fighting style.
Dual-wielding a pistol with a blade, use high-speed movement to shuttle between enemies, and use the convenience of combining a pistol and a blade to harvest the lives of enemies like a god of death.
"Luo Kelian, do you have any plans?"
When Rorschach asked this sentence, Luo Kelian in front of him stopped eating suddenly, and then slowly put down the dishes and chopsticks, looking at Rorschach in front of him.
The sense of decadence after being abandoned instantly appeared on her again.
Seeing the loss of light in his eyes, Rorschach stood up and was not ready to say anything more.
"Now that you're here, stay put. Anyway, there is no shortage of food for you alone. Chixia went to arrange a room for her, changed her clothes again, and put on dirty clothes after taking a shower......"
handed over Luo Kelian's follow-up arrangements to Qianxia, and Rorschach left.
To be honest, Rorschach's way of fighting was very interesting to Rochchach, but he was only interested.
At such a time, it would be a little too inhuman to strike at the injured person's mental defense and get the information he needs.
Besides, there are already so many of his own men, and a way of fighting based on mobile shooting with pistols is still too dangerous.
In the face of danger, Rorschach still felt that it was most important to preserve himself, and it was just a matter of a few rounds of shelling. It's really not good, and the covered floor scrubbing is fine, so there's no need to use your hands to assault desperately.
Anyway, he doesn't have any treaties to restrict, and the Time and Space Authority does things, does it need to abide by this kind of thing?
After this happened, which seemed to Rorschach to be a whole adjustment, Rorschach received an unexpected phone call.
Turning on the phone, Rorschach said flatly: "Miss Coco, have you figured it out?" ”
