"What's wrong with you, Hill?" When Kim came out of the shower, she saw that Hill, who was sitting on the bench, was not looking well. She asked with concern, "Is it not very comfortable?"
"I'm fine," Hill shook his head and adjusted his mood
"Jason has been here?" Kim was a little surprised. Recently, Jason rarely showed up. I remember the last time I saw him, he was still in the shooting training room of the base.
"He refused my offer again," Hill sighed and smiled helplessly at Kim. "He felt like an old girl who couldn't send it out."
"Is he a man after all?" Kim felt sorry for Hill. "Such a beautiful woman would refuse to come. If I asked him, would he be gay?"
"Maybe not. I saw what a man should have in his eyes," Hill said. "I just don't know why he refused me in the end. Is it because I'm not attractive enough?"
Hill said, and began to feel sad: "When I saw Adams fooling around with Lily behind my back, I thought men liked active girls. I tried to be more active and feminine, but I didn't attract the people I cared about."
"Jason has a heavy burden on his shoulders. He is responsible for the safety of so many people in the base. Maybe he is also controlling himself strictly." Jin comforted, "As the actual leader here, he needs to restrain his subordinates with his own action."
"I'm worried, you know?" Hill took Kim's hand. She looked around and found that there were no other people around. Then she continued: "You have noticed the soldiers here. I feel that Jason's restraint on them is much lower than when he first came here. If this continues, we will be in danger."
"They are soldiers, shouldn't they protect us? Our danger mainly comes from the outside of the base, from those mutated monsters."
"You're wrong, Kim." Hill said calmly, "After the disaster, the most terrible thing is not the monsters, but the human beings themselves. I am afraid that once we lose control here, at that time our fate will be worse than death."
"Is that why you are eager to approach Jason?" Kim asked, and she began to feel Hill's anxiety.
"I do not deny that there is such a reason, but it is not all the same. I approached him because his own temperament attracted me." Hill and Kim had already gone back to the room. She closed the door behind her, then went to the bedside and sat down. "I think we should go to those scientists some time. Maybe we can hear something from them."
"Well, you're right," Kim nodded. "I've had contact with Dr. Martin before, and I feel like a very powerful woman."
"Their leader seems to be Mario," Hill said after thinking for a while. "They are all elites in the top of the country."
"Can these scientists really save the world?" Jin looked out of the window, where it was still gray steel and cement, and there was no green in the whole base except for clothes.
"The hope can only be placed on them," Hill said. "Soldiers like Jason can't rely on them."
"Why?" Kim didn't quite understand what Hill meant. She looked at Hill with confused eyes.
"Soldiers can only destroy, they can't make the world reborn," Hill seemed to understand a lot during her time at the base, and her words also made Kim understand that the future is still very cruel for human beings.
"I don't know how the people in other parts of the world are now." Jin also sat on the bed and began to spread his mind. "In that mysterious country on the other side of the earth, will people there use their ancient secrets to kill these monsters?"
"You've seen too many films," Hill smiled
Hardly had Hill finished speaking when they sat on the bed together and laughed.
In the other room, Martin was staring at the computer screen. The constantly changing text was reflected on her glasses. The light in the room was not turned on, and the light seemed dim at this time point.
This novel's true home is a different platform. Support the author by finding it there.
Martin was unaware that someone had pushed the door in.
"If your door hadn't been locked, I would have thought you weren't in the room," Mario came in with two cups of coffee. He put one of them on Martin's table, and then stood behind her, staring at the information on the screen.
"Instant?" Martin did not look back. She smelled the smell of coffee in the air, and her fingers continued to beat the keyboard rapidly.
"Of course, we only find such goods in the base, so let's make do with it." Mario took a sip of the coffee in his hand, "the taste is rough, better than nothing."
Martin also took a sip of coffee. When she just drank it into her mouth, her first reaction was to spit it out. The taste of this instant coffee is very different from that of freshly ground coffee. Strictly speaking, instant coffee can only be regarded as a coffee flavored drink. Moreover, the coffee stored in the base is provided for soldiers to drink, which is heavier in taste.
Martin finally swallowed the coffee in his mouth. Just now Mario said that only coffee of this quality could be found in the base, so he had to make do with it.
"Thank you, Mario." Martin put the cup down and continued to hit the keyboard. "The taste really matches the taste of these soldiers."
"I have just convinced Jason that he is willing to move at last," Mario looked at Martin's screen, and some information displayed on it began to attract him. "This place is like a cage, trapping us here, so that we can do nothing."
"I can't do anything," Martin said with a smile, turning his head and pushing his glasses on his nose. "I've been tracking that guy on the Internet these days."
"It seems that you have gained something," Mario asked. "Why are you interested in the former Soviet of Gipross?"
"Because that guy paid attention here, I followed his trail," Martin said
"Some of his habits remind me of something," Martin continued. "Remember Twilight Code?"
"Of course, that was your masterpiece in those years," Mario was a little surprised and did not understand why Martin suddenly mentioned this.
"When" Twilight Code "ran rampant in Europe and North America, it failed in that country in the East. I suspect that behind this mysterious man is a force belonging to the East." Martin was also a famous hacker when she was young, but her achievements in scientific research were more outstanding, which gradually covered up her reputation in the computer field.
"Is there any basis?" Mario asked.
"If I said it was a woman's intuition, would you believe it?" Martin said, "I haven't found evidence to prove this inference, but my intuition tells me that I must have fought with this mysterious man in those years, and my" Twilight Code "probably lost to him."
"I keep a wait-and-see attitude," Mario said. "If your judgment is right, then this matter will become very complicated. To tell you the truth, I hope you are wrong, because the world can no longer afford two superpowers to wrestle with each other."
"I haven't found the evidence, otherwise I can prove it to you directly," Martin said, somewhat unwilling. "He can defeat my Twilight Code, and I can also find out his tail. I won't stop until I find this place."
"Otherwise, we should report to Jason and ask him to notify Hua Shengdun to investigate, so that we don't have to worry about this matter," Mario said. "We have more important things to do."
"When can we restart our experiment plan?" Martin asked.
"It should be fast. If it goes well, we can immediately return to the plan after arriving in New Orleans or Houston." Mario thought for a moment and drank the coffee from the quilt.
"There is still time," Martin said
"Well, I believe you," Mario looked at the information on the screen. "I'm curious why this guy is interested in things during the Cold War."
"There won't be any idle person in this world now. Every living person will have his purpose before doing something. The footprints of this mysterious person opened a door for me, and I suddenly found that there were more secrets ahead that we didn't know." Martin had a smile on his mouth. "Ah, I wish I could have a pure Hawaiian Kona coffee now."
"The secret of the East?" Mario was very curious about the information hidden in Martin's words, "Is Kona better than Blue Mountain?"
"No, but Kona is more interested in me." Martin took another sip from the cup on the table. She swallowed each mouthful very slowly, as if she was savoring the taste.
"Did you just mention more secrets from the other side of the earth?" Mario saw that Martin had evaded the question just now, and he continued to ask it unswervingly.
"The East has their secrets, but our own secrets are more. They are at our feet, also in Huashengton, anywhere in this free land." Martin said, "It seems to me that we trust politicians too much. Our scientific research achievements are unreserved to them, but they hide a lot of things from us."
"What made you think this way?" Mario's eyes became dignified. Martin's words broke his usual way of thinking and made him feel something unusual.
"I think you should have felt the same way, but you haven't thought in this direction." Martin said, "Speaking of this, I would like to thank this mysterious man. Following his traces, I saw the things he paid attention to. These things can be related to our research. You know, if I had paid attention to these directions and information early, then our progress would be faster. However, the funny thing is that no one opened these information to us, and no one told us these directions. ”
"But we can't question Hua Shengdun," Mario still refused to admit Martin's judgment.
"But you already believe it," Martin took his glasses off, and she looked back into Mario's eyes. "You just don't want to admit it."
