《Protect Humanity Project》13. Round Table
Advertisement
Under the watchful eye of the crowd, the Moyan entered the little house on the central square, a plain concrete structure with a dozen or so men sitting on the first floor, and stood at attention as she entered.
Jao-lok couldn’t explain what he was saying. He stammered, pointing to the Peiji, “You, you are so good... ”
Montgomery was there, too, too big to look up in the corner, his eyes darting to the Moyan, his cheeks flushed suspiciously.
Female, alive, moving..
It’s one thing to hear it, it’s another to see it. The shock was so great that the men in the room were at a loss, stiff and glassy-eyed.
At Moyan’s first sight of the odd looking people, she watched them warily as she made her way out.
Then Louis pulled back a chair that was encircled at the center of the room and glared, “Sit down, miss. ”
By these dozen pairs of eyes watching, Duan Mo Yan such as Awn in the back. As soon as she sat down, a man beside her quickly handed her a glass of juice.
Yellow. Looks like orange juice. The Moyan looked at the Peiji, looked down, sniffed, and took a slow sip. Then all the men in the room let out a sigh of relief, as if a large stone fell to the ground, and then began to sit down.
The Peiji sat next to her, coolly circling the strongest men in the A3, sneering, “So you’ve all calmed down and stopped fighting? ”
Montgomery coughed.
Rajoy smiled broadly. “No, we are all civilized people. ”
At such a close distance, the light of the room fell on the young girl’s white face, and it was the shock of her unguarded beauty that made her every move so frightening to all.
Louis said softly, “Dear lady, where do you come from and how do we contact your family? ”
As soon as the words were spoken, all the captains in the room held their breath and waited. In the quiet atmosphere, the Moyan thought about what to say. “Call me by my name. My name is Moyan. I have no family. ”
She paused. “I don’t know how I got to District 12. I was in the desert until Unit 5 came and got me. ”
She was vague about where she came from, which, to the ears of others, was a poor girl who had been “Trafficked” into no man’s land.
“OIGO’s gonna have to chop off any son of a bitch who kidnaps a minor purifier, ” Montgomery fumed, fitting his scarred face perfectly.
“It would have to be a dehumanizing asshole to do something like that. ”

“I assure you, miss, we will protect you with our lives! ” Many people began.
Inside, the atmosphere was warm, and the men working outside were making a lot of noise. From time to time, they heard the sound of carrying wood and smashing steel.
Raole stood up, clapped his hands and shouted, “We need to discuss the future. is everyone OK with that? ” Everyone nodded.
A bespectacled man said: “My rough calculation is that the remaining population of A3 is about 50,000, not counting the very scarce drugs and ATP. With the supply chain cut off, the remaining supplies will last only two weeks, but the blockade of the fortress will last a month. ”
“And then there are the degenerates in the desert, and if they do mutate and attack A3, it’s very dangerous. ”
“We don’t even know how many depraved species there are deep in the interior. My guess is 100,000. ”
“Well, eleven districts have been hauling people out day and night, and after all these years, I’m afraid that number is Conservative. ”
Rajoy pointed to the table: “Food is also a big problem, the black market has been cut off, we only have black bread and mashed potatoes. ”
He didn’t go on, but everyone’s voice-over was the same: Let the Lady Eat This?
At the moment, everyone has a vague idea in their mind.
The crowd was rambling, and by the time they had worked out a general strategy, it had been a long time, the Sun had gone down, and it was completely dark.
There were lights outside and shadowy people could be seen coming and going, gathering in the square in heaps and heaps.
A man sighed. He had a habit of lighting a cigarette. As soon as the box was taken out, it was quickly pushed down by the man beside him, and he was almost thrown out of the table.
“Sorry, Sorry, I forgot the Lady was here. ” The man touched his nose and looked at the Peiji who sat silent beside him.
“Captain Page, I thought you smoked. ”
The Peiji looks the same: “Quit. ”
He tilted his head and looked over at Moyan, who was leaning back in her chair, asleep, because they had been talking so long.
It was about the first time that two people had been cleansed in a row, and she was so tired that half her face was hidden in the shadows and her body was curled up in an uncomfortable position.
The temperature in the desert varies widely from day to night, and the low night temperatures have little effect on them, so the 12th ward inmates are mostly dressed in single-layer combat gear, but in their eyes, pale, delicate girls in ill-fitting men’s coats, hunched in their chairs, arms wrapped around themselves, the image burned in their eyes.

Someone whispered, “Is it the Chinese blood? ”
“I’ve never seen blood so pure. ”
The chatter on the table died away, a soft image that made everyone in the room feel something called heartache. Louis was the first to stand up, his face flushed, but he didn’t shout, just silently took off his coat.
Raole clapped his hand and said, “Take it back, you smell like sweat. ”
Louis blushed still more.
The sleeping girl clung to the chair of the Peiji, her dark hair falling softly over her shoulders, her skin whiter than ever, and when her eyes were closed, the strong independence of her day was gone, is a 17-year-old girl.
She must be protected.
People who had been genetically programmed for bestiality suddenly realized this, as if a gentle sense had suddenly appeared in the midst of a violent bloodlust.
This softness was powerless, light and thin, but incredibly flexible.
A group of large men in a circle, quietly looked at the middle of the sleeping girl, like a guard flower thorns wall, with a little clumsy care, for fear of their stab hurt her.
Peiji glanced at the group and edged away from them, shielding his Moyan from the view.
Jao le stared at him jealously, but his voice was very low and very light: “Pei, although you saved her, the fifth squad was too few, and they were all a bunch of clumsy fools. Now they are still unconscious. How can you wait on her well? ”
He quickly cut to the main text, “Our sixth squad to come! ”
Before the Peiji could speak, another man pushed him aside and said, “Bah, your team is too weak to be of any use. If you ask me, our fourth team would be better off... ”
“A team for a day, stop fighting, sleep at our place tonight. ”
“It would be a dream for a Lady to sleep in your dorm! ”
Although they were quarrelling, they all spoke in a low voice. Moyan was asleep, too, or she might as well have gone back to the desert.
After an hour of wrangling, Moyan spent the night in a cleaned up consulting room. They and the rest of the Peiji were camped out in the lobby for the night, and no one wanted to leave.
The things in the room were prepared by raole, the bedding on the hospital bed were replaced with new ones, the medical instruments that occupied the space were all moved out, and because of the purpose, there was also a small toilet to go with it.
They were so productive that they even had a small suit on the bed that they had somehow managed to fit into, judging by the size of the Moyan.
“Thank you very much, ” she said sincerely
Raole blushed and bowed slightly and took out a small yellow flower from behind him, put It gently on the table: “Glad to help you, Miss Moyan, because the conditions here are difficult, can not prepare more suitable living things for you, waiting to leave a 3, we will certainly bring you more supplies. ”
Stunned, the Moyan picked up the wild flower and smiled. “It’s fine, thank you. ”
Jao Le said nothing more and turned around and walked out.
Just outside the door was the lobby, where someone could be heard moving about, and Moyan sat in the room for a while, still unable to calm down, she went to the front door and put her palms to her head.
“Peiji, are you there? ”
A long time, the outside just came out of the familiar voice.
“I am. ” Low, fleeting, but strangely reassuring.
Peiji stood in the doorway for a moment, then turned away when the young girl stopped talking.
There was a large table not far away, and the captains of the mercenary squad sat in a circle, with no intention of returning to their quarters.
When he sat down, RAOLE said, “The border patrol team has returned. The border guards have not moved yet. They seem to have closed all the crossings. ”
“I don’t know about the other four, but I don’t have a good feeling about it. ”
“I’m afraid I’ve already killed red-eye. ”
Montgomery clenched his fist. “I’ll have to kick the garrison commander’s head off if I catch him, ” he said
Jao le glanced at him and said, “He is the son of the Duncan family. Can you beat him? ”
Montgomery snorted, “You never know until you try. ”
The Peiji looked impassive. “There are at least 100,000 men guarding the fort, ” he said. “Let me tell you, it’s not too late to quit. ”
“Are you kidding me? My Head is on a string right now! ”
“Count me in. ”
“Me too. ”
A pure-blooded purifier girl emerges from the deserted 12th arrondissement, unaware of the unthinkable, whether it is the garrison on the border or the Interstate Government and parliament as far away as Central Arrondissement 1.
Just like the sky with dark clouds, a storm is brewing that will destroy everything.
