Chapter 85: Will You Come Back at Night? (2-11)
"Are you Randall's right-hand man, or Blackwatch's abandoned experiment?"
Cullen's eyes were filled with doubt, and the little trust he had in Leon was gone.
Leon didn't care at all, and replied calmly: "I advise you to keep this matter in your heart, and don't let Alex know, otherwise you will know the consequences." ”
Karen's face suddenly turned cold: "I thought we would become friends. ”
Li Ang smiled and said, "Of course we are friends, but only then can I continue to protect you." ”
"By the way, Alex is actually dead, and what you just saw is nothing more than a mass of viruses that can think for themselves."
"For the sake of safety, I suggest you listen to me."
However, Cullen didn't believe these words: "Want to stir up a relationship between me and Alex? There was no need, the moment I chose to betray him, we were already finished. ”
Leon didn't care if she believed it or not: "Time will tell." Now go pack our things and Alex will be picking us up soon. ”
The matter in front of him was too complicated, and there were too many conspiracies hidden, and Karen felt that he couldn't manage it, and he didn't have the life to take care of it. All she wanted was to complete the mission of Blackwatch as soon as possible and then find a place where no one knew her and continue her life.
"Don't worry, I know the rules and won't say anything."
With that, she turned around and went to pack her luggage.
Leon likes to deal with smart people like Karen and saves a lot of unnecessary tongue.
If she can keep it up, Leon doesn't mind giving her a good ending.
You know, in the original plot, Karen was killed in the elevator by Alex, who discovered the truth, but in the end she was not absorbed and assimilated, probably because she remembered a little bit of the old love.
Alex returned later than expected, snatching an armored car, absorbing and assimilating the driver, and clearing a nest of infected people on the verge of becoming large.
When they returned, they found that the atmosphere between Leon and Cullen didn't seem to be right.
Could it be a quarrel?
Alex didn't bother to pay attention to the two of them, and said simply, "It's time to go." ”
Leon helped with the salute, and Cullen didn't say anything when he saw it.
The trio got into an armored vehicle and headed for the eastern sector, a few kilometers away, where the virus had not yet spread.
Halfway through, Cullen took the initiative to bring up the topic of the virus.
It seems to be talking to Leon, but in fact, it is mainly to speak to Alex.
"I've heard a little bit about the virus outbreak, and the virus in New York City is broadly divided into two types at the moment."
"DX-1118A (red light) and DX-1118C (black light)."
"You have to collect genetic samples of these two viruses so that I can help you analyze them and find ways to suppress and eliminate them."
Li Ang showed a surprised expression very cooperatively: "Great, I'm finally saved!" ”
The two sang and harmonized, and successfully deceived Alex: "Karen, do you really have a way to cure the infection?" ”
Cullen cautiously replied, "There is no guarantee of success, but it is better than nothing." ”
Alex thought for a moment: "Then count me in, where should the genetic samples be collected?" ”
Cullen prompted, "There should be quite a few of them in the nests of the infected or the rooftop water towers. ”
Alex kept the two positions in mind and continued to drive the armored car silently.
As Black Watch gradually begins to take over the city, the populace has become accustomed to military vehicles and will voluntarily move out of the way.
Arrived in the safe East End, where Cullen has a simple personal lab.
Alex left without even entering the door, saying that he would come back to them when the samples were collected.
Leon went inside and sat down for a while.
Cullen brought two cups of coffee and handed him one of them, "I thought it would be difficult to fool Alex, but I didn't expect it to be so easy. ”
The Black Watch gave her the task of encouraging Alex to collect samples of the virus.
Li Ang took the coffee but didn't drink it, but put it aside: "Because in this world, apart from Dina, the one he trusts most is you, the ex-girlfriend." ”
Karen's expression instantly became a little ugly, and he also put down his coffee: "I know I'm not worthy of his trust, you don't need to remind me!" ”
Leon shrugged: "I didn't remind, I was just stating the facts." ”
Then he got up and said, "I'm going to leave too, there's something else, thank you for the coffee." ”
Karen looked at the untouched coffee on the table, sneered and mocked, "What about protecting me?" Bastard with a mouth full of lies! ”
"Don't worry, with me, you can't die if you want to." Li Ang said without replying.
Seeing that the man was about to leave, Cullen finally made up his mind to add an insurance policy to his future: "Will you come back at night?" Do you need me to give you the room key? ”
Leon walked out of the room for a long time before she heard the response: "Say it again!" ”
Karen was so angry that he dropped the cup in his hand.
On the other side, Alex, who has a new errand, returns to his sister Dina's hideout while searching for genetic samples.
Every once in a while he had to come back, otherwise he wouldn't worry.
Dina, who is a full nine years younger than him, just turned 20 this year, is a journalism major at New York University.
Despite his young age, he already has the most important potential to be a journalist - thick-skinned.
In addition, he likes to be nosy, curious, and proficient in certain hacking techniques, and started working as an investigative journalist before graduating.
When Alex investigated Jean Tek, he asked her to help.
The siblings have always had a strong relationship, and since they had never seen their father since they were young, and their mother was a heavy drinker for many years, Dina completely treated Alex like a father.
"You're back just in time, see what I find, it should help you!"
Dina, with her short brown hair, shouted like a tomboy at her brother who came back.
Her appearance is not pretty, but she is better than youthful vitality.
"What did you find?" Alex walked over to his sister and looked at the computer screen in front of her.
Dina pointed to a news item on the screen: "USS Reagan, stop in Manhattan now!" ”
Alex still didn't understand what she meant.
Dina had to make it clear: "McMullen, do you remember? You asked me to look into him before, and I just got the news that his helicopter landed on the USS Reagan today! ”
Alex suddenly remembered that Leon, who was suffering from the same illness as him, had advised him not long ago that if he wanted to find out what was going on with him, he should go to McMullen.
"Is the news true?"
Dina swore that "it's true!" ”
"Okay, I'll go find him!" Alex immediately said goodbye to his sister and went to find a way to board the aircraft carrier.
Dina got used to his hurried style, shook her head helplessly, and continued to look up useful information on the computer.
