《Protect Humanity Project》21. Catch fire

The magnificent imperial city house complex is in the spring of red flowers, willow green, and many people come here for sightseeing,In particular, there is a long corridor in the center of the house, which is surrounded by purple lilacs,All members have to pass through it when going to work,It is called the "Dream Corridor", which once became popular on the Star Network and became a "punch card holy place" for tourists in online celebrity.
In addition to the male tourists who come to the purifier, there are also some active female tourists.
"Look, that is the Senate President, so handsome. "A girl with a round face holds her heart, and her eyes are full of pink hearts.
"It's Bai Yuxing, the legendary' golden tulip', which turned out to be better than the photo. "The terminal in another girl's hand is aimed at the man, which is a few close-up photos,"Unfortunately, he is too clean and self-sufficient, and there has never been a gossip, not even gossip. "
The man in their mouth is sitting on one side of the corridor reading a book,He is bathed in the sun all over, and even the weather seems to have special pity on him,The hot sun shines on him and becomes so gentle. A man is like a golden long hair tied behind his back, revealing a red earring on his left auricle,His blue eyes are calm, and lip bead, who is naturally funny, makes his whole person look warm, just like a treasure carefully carved by God.
A shadow appeared in front of the sun, and Bai Yixing looked up from the page.
"Do you like to be the talk of others?"Leng Su's voice sounds like ice and snow, instantly dispelling the warmth in this spring day.
Bai Yixing raised his face and smiled: "I didn't notice them, and I don't care what others think of me. "
The opposite person can't deny his answer.
Snow-haired men wear dark uniforms, with dark water ripples on their chests, buttons on their necklines tied to their Adam's apple, and they are wrapped up all over their bodies without any color,Even their long silver hair is covered under a serious military cap.
Jing Yi holds the sword around his waist, and turns his eyes to the side,He obviously has blue eyes, but it is chilling like the Arctic glacier.
Two female tourists looked at each other with him, and their faces were all changed,They almost fled away quickly, as if there were monsters chasing behind them.
The head of the armed forces is terrible! What's the use of being good-looking? No wonder people call it "polar frozen soil"!
"You scared away two ladies again. "Bai Yixing shook his head, helpless to this old schoolmate for many years. He slowly turned to the next page, as if holding fragile petals in his hand,"Did the Third Army rectify it so quickly? I thought you would come back next week. "
Jing Yi's emotionless eyes swept the tourists who took pictures of the flowers nearby, and replied coldly: "It's just the genetic madness of 200 people,Those who have the potential to come over have been rescued by the purifier, and those who have lost their senses, I have sent them to Airbus for the 12 th district. "
When I heard the words "District 12", Bai Yixing's fingertips gave a meal,He hooked his lips and showed a complicated smile: "It's you, but I think too much. "
Jing Yi glanced at the man's face as if he were always gentle and calm, and reached out and fiddled with his sword around his waist,"You are a little strange recently. "

Bai Yixing continued to turn the book down to a page, and the eyebrows seemed to drop a little golden light: "Oh, what's wrong with me?"
Jing Yi's sword is different from that of other soldiers,It is longer and thinner, its tentacles are as cold as cold iron, and its hair is the same color as snow lotus on the top of a cold mountain.
He caressed the hilt of the sword with a handkerchief: "As far as I know, although you look like a good old man, in fact, you don't see anything,You can be absent for five days in a parliamentary meeting seven days a week, but recently you have been running to the parliament on time every day,You can never suddenly want to work hard. "
"What news are you waiting for, or-waiting for someone?"
After Bai Yixing's action, Jing Yi continued: "Just like the Dow Jones Act you are reading now, did you really read a word?"
"What are you nervous about?"
Bai Yixing was speechless,He shook his head and closed his book: "We grew up together, but we really can't hide from you. "
He smiled slightly, and the water flowed in his blue eyes: "I think I may be waiting for an expectation,If I miss it, I will regret it for a lifetime. "

Aoweiwei Asia 9 qu
When Airbus arrived at the station, it was already more than seven o'clock in the evening,The sky was dark, but the stars were bright, like the night was full of broken DIA.
"We will rest here for one night, and the train at 9: 30 tomorrow morning will leave on time. "The adjutant Raymond said that he looked at the terminal in his hand,"The guest house is not far ahead, commander, we can take a bus. "
Mo Yan doesn't want to say anything about this similar long-distance trip,Even if the service is thoughtful, she will get sore bones after sitting for one day, just like being beaten up.
"Isn't it not far? We can walk over and take a walk. "She looked inquiringly at Joyce, who had no reason to refuse.
There are 12 districts in Ovivi Asia, among which 1-3 belong to the Central Third District, 10-12 belong to the Frontier Third District, 4-6 belong to the Shangcheng District, and 7-9 belong to the Xiacheng District. The overall construction of District 9 is much better than that of District 11,At the very least, there are no dilapidated houses at all, and there are no homeless people lying on the roadside waiting to die.
It seems that the whole pillar here is light industry economy, with numerous factories and faint lights shining at night,The tall chimneys go straight into the sky, braving the rolling steam.
"There are women here!"I really don't blame Mo Yan,This is the first time she came to this world to see the same sex,When she was in District 11, she almost thought that all the women in the world had disappeared!
Joyce laughed and said, "You can see more when you go to the Central Third District. "
After work, the workers get together in twos and threes, including many older women. There are crowds of bistros and vendors with lights on the roadside, and the aroma of barbecue wafts out,This busy night scene makes Mo Yan have the illusion of returning to the metropolis.
She really thought she was in the ordinary world if she didn't walk around with a bunch of cats and dogs.

"Take a look at it, delicious compressed nutrient solution, and a cherry-flavored tube will fill the day ~"
"Lele goddess signature according to a loss sale, are out of print! Ultra HD! "
"Flowers, flowers! Fresh flowers! "
A wide variety of goods are placed in different stalls, and Mo Yan leads this group of men with both face value and body online, and gains a 200% return rate along the way, but sees her more.
"Miss want to spend? Freshly picked roses can't compare with your beauty. "The vendors who were blushing were holding a bunch of flowers wrapped in plastic, and Mo Yan smiled apologetically at him with a wave.
"Handsome boy, buy a piece of jewelry for your young lady,The pearls made by yourself are round and big. "Joyce saw a string of bracelets on the stall,The pearls were not very big and the quality was very average, but a starlight stone was ingeniously strung in the middle, which was pure black, like someone's eyes.
He had some absence with the chain, and his ear was the boss's mouth,When he turned around, he was almost left behind by the big troops.
"Scale down the world model and take you around the world at home! Fat house is a must! "A deserted stall vendor shouted, and Mo Yan stopped involuntarily.
This thing seems to be for children to play with,It is a bit like a glass earth,However, if you click one place with your fingers at will, you can enlarge the clear three-dimensional landscape,You also note the text notes intimately, which is tailor-made for her illiterate.
"Miss, are you interested?"When the hawker saw her coming, she knew that she had come to a big business and made 18 martial arts spit,"Our model uses the highest federal technology, and it is safe and non-toxic,Now it is only 100 stars for the manufacturers to engage in activities and sell at a loss!"
Mo Yan nodded and kept flipping through his hands: "It looks good, I will be 50 stars cheaper ... "
Before the words were finished, a person squeezed by, and Joyce stared at what was in her hand,"Do you want this?"The wealthy vulture took out the payment code on the personal terminal without saying anything, and squatted on the face of the stall owner, "Here!"
Seeing that there is a windfall, the stall owner is happy to see his teeth and lose sight of his eyes, and his mouth can't close properly: "OK, thank you for your patronage. "
It's just that his hand for collecting money just reached out and was cut off by another person.
Pei Ji coldly glanced at Joyce, gave him a mocking look, and then opened his personal terminal: "collect money. "
Now the stall owner is embarrassed,These people are not easy to handle at first sight,He is just a rabbit geneticist with a talent level of B-,He barely makes a living in the city,In this group of people, he may only win this lady,What to do?
The boss faltered and did not dare to speak,Joyce was cut off and stared,Pei Ji yelled at the stall owner: "Why are you still doing business?"First come, first served,Don't you understand? "
"I will come first. "Pei Ji went back unceremoniously.
"Sir Duncan, you don't have the obligation to pay, do you?"Green said.
"I didn't, you guys just got out of prison?"Joyce said.
The stall owner was afraid,He could already see that Joyce was dressed in military uniform, and the officers were at least S-class talents,It was more than enough for one person to fight ten of them. His head was sweating, and he was afraid that he would become a white rabbit with a bang if he couldn't stay up for a while,Today is really bad luck.
Muyan, caught in the middle, silently watched the childish operation on both sides,She sighed and snapped Joyce's hand holding the earth model.
"It's 50 stars cheaper, I'll take it. "
The stall owner wanted his ancestors to run quickly, and refused to do so, so she found a packing box for her now, and she was more active than anyone else.
Mo Yan was very satisfied,She looked at the performance to one side and smiled at her eyebrows,"Lend me 50 stars, and I will pay you back later. "
Pei Ji squinted, and without saying anything, he deducted the fee directly from his personal terminal,He wrapped his arms around his chest: "How long will it be after this?"
"You decide. "Mo Yan held the box in her arms, and her body was full of satisfaction,She waved to the boss who was soft on the ground, "Thank you!"
Murphy leaned close to her: "Mo Yan, do you know how to play this?"I will show you my hometown! "
A few people were busy walking forward, and Joyce's veins stood out on his forehead,He looked back faintly at the stall owner who didn't dare to move, and chose to follow him.
The place to stay at night is a guest house belonging to the government, which is generally only open to soldiers, dignitaries and purists, and is monitored and defended at the first level. When you enter through the gate, you have to carry out security check and search.
"I'm offended, miss. "A tall, burly soldier swept the pocket of Mo Yan's coat with exquisite instruments in his hand, and then bent down and made a request,There was no other search for her, and it was simply released.
And other men don't have the luck, Joyce and others have to say, Pei Ji four people are treated with emphasis. Not only did they take off their coats, but all their pockets for hiding things were turned upside down.
"Don't push your luck,Laozi used to serve in the legion,These routines are very clear. "Tours groaned with anger.
The soldiers who checked them were expressionless: "This is a routine inspection, please cooperate. "
The instrument in his hand scanned tours back and forth, left and right, and the latter was so angry that his hair almost exploded.
"Now take off the belt, we need to check the structure. "Soldiers said.
"there are other structures in your belt? !Tours almost rushed up to hit people and was held down by Pei Ji.
"Calm down, we will cooperate. "Pei Ji seems to be not angry, his eyes are deep as if a storm is brewing,When Mo Yan looked at it with some worries, he saw the man put his hands on his waistband and began to untie his belt ...
She jerked her head back, her eyes wide open.
Romon said intimately, "Miss, I'll show you the rest room tonight. "
"uh huh ... All right. "
She followed Romon, the hostel was built carefully and neatly, every corridor corner was guarded by soldiers, the floor was covered with carpets, and the sound of walking was barely audible. Romon opened a door for her,The room was spacious, decorated in European style, with a bright bathroom, and even a bunch of flowers on the table.
The loyal adjutant bent down and saluted: "Please have a good rest,Please tell me if you need anything. "
Mo Yan nodded: "Thank you, please. "
"My pleasure. "Romon closed the door for her, and deliberately explained the soldiers standing guard in the corridor, then sighed: She is such an approachable purifier, and it is easy and comfortable to serve her-how lucky people are to be around her.
At night in Area 9, the smell of engine oil seems to spread in the air.
Finally a person quieted down, Mo Yan took a bath, and lay comfortably on the big bed to rest, her long hair curled around the bed, damp and slightly curled. Without Murphy chattering in the ear, without the noise of several other people, she suddenly has some unaccustomed.
She took out the earth model she had just bought, and put her fingers lightly on it. Those familiar and unfamiliar mountains and plains were born again under one or two strange names, as if to tell her that this is a parallel world with another completely different splendid civilization.
Pei Ji and others were checked for a long time before they were allowed to enter,The noncommissioned officer in charge of the hostel asked Joyce inexplicably: "Sir Duncan, these people are not allowed to come in, even if they follow the people of the Purification Normal University ... "
Joyce watched the soldiers close the gate and drop the electronic lock,He waved his hand: "Miss trusts them, and everything takes Miss's wishes first. "
"Yes. "
And where Mo Yan couldn't see it, the soldiers orderly guarded the doors and windows of the house,After Joyce's tour, she stopped in front of her door for a moment before returning to his own room-next to Mo Yan.
He turned on the room light, Joyce lay back on the big bed, stretched out his hand and played with the pearl bracelets he had just bought from the roadside,Now look, it is really cheap ... How do you send this stuff?
Joyce sighed, and small white and round pearls rolled around between his slender fingers,The owner of the fingers seemed to cherish the dark starlight stone in the middle, and kept gently stroking with his fingertips.
Although Duncan's family also belongs to one of the powerful families in the three central districts, he didn't really communicate with women since childhood, and his relationship with his mother was also very weak. It seems that in my memory, the woman with excellent blood purity has been staying in her own garden,Apart from tending flowers and plants, she is depicting makeup, having tea and chatting with other ladies,Her troubles and sorrows belong to her father and other men in the family, but have nothing to do with them.
Grow bigger, he took the initiative to enter the federal military academy to study, where there are even fewer women,Every day, he is just interacting with the weapon mecha,After a long time, he is also accustomed to being surrounded by men who are covered in sweat all day long,Even if the old family in the family asks him to run for the engagement of the purifier, Joyce also has resistance in his heart.
Women in cognition are all people like roses,Mother is the most typical representative,When she is born, she is noble,When she is an adult, she marries a selected betrothed with the same family, appearance and ability, and moves from one greenhouse to another,The only trouble seems to be that she can't give birth to a daughter.
The status of the purists is more respected, and their clothing, food, shelter and transportation are taken care of by special personnel,As long as their strength is not exhausted, they can gain a steady stream of faith.
But ... She is different.
She can even get close to the felons with civilian background, lowly blood and poor talent, and even take the initiative to spend power to purify A3 people, which is simply a fable now that the power of purification is the source of life.
Even she despises such an ordinary gift ...
But what if she likes it?
Joyce put the pearl bracelet on his forehead,He closed his eyes and felt the coolness on his eyelids.
*
The night was silent and silent, and people in District 9 fell asleep, and the streets were empty.
Close to the early morning, a thick fog swept through the whole city,Because of the prosperity of industry, a lot of dust was condensed in the fog, which looked like a precursor to the appearance of demons.
Men dressed in all kinds began to appear on the wet road,They filed out of the houses on both sides,Like wandering souls, they walked without sound at all,If Mo Yan was awake at the moment, she would immediately panic: Zombies marched.
At three or four o'clock in the morning, it is the time when the human body is sleeping soundly,Such a group of people who don't know what to do, like cults, gradually form a team on the road, and then gather in the largest square, but they become a big group in ten minutes.
There is a man standing right in front of the team,He is tall, dressed in ordinary blue overalls and wearing a spectre mask on his face,He stands in front of the biggest clock in the square and watches the second hand tick.
People behind him also quietly, gathered in the upward waiting time.
3: 41, 3: 42 ... When the minute hand reached 45 minutes, the man in the spectre mask waved his hand, and the people behind him immediately turned and dispersed like a flood. They rushed to various government organizations, house branches or military stations with clear goals, holding various weapons and kindling in their hands.
The man stopped in the clock square in the center of the city in silence, looking at the time above, his eyes bent with a smile.
Foam Yan was awakened by the increasingly thick smoke smell in the room,She sat up skid and saw that there was a raging fire outside the window,She didn't close the window before going to bed,At the moment, the smoke went straight into the room along the window seam.
Mo Yan coughed violently for two times, jumped out of bed with the fastest speed and slammed the casement,When she looked out, she almost scared her legs soft-the walls of the whole hostel house were lit up with fire,I don't know who threw the combustible materials on the wall extension, and the air was filled with a pungent smell. And there are many suspicious people outside the house throwing torches at the fire, which is a deliberate arson!
Mo Yan quickly put on clothes and trousers, and when she was still soaking towels to cover her nose and mouth, the door of the room was knocked violently by outsiders, and her voice was exceptionally loud.
"Knocked! Knock, knock! "
Joyce was in such a hurry that he slammed the door with his fist,If he didn't take into account that there was a young girl inside, he just kicked the door open.
Just when he almost had no patience to break in, the door was opened from the inside. The little girl's hair is still loose, her pajamas are exposed in her wide coat, her face is covered with a wet towel, and her eyes can't hide the tension.
Seeing that she was safe and sound, Joyce seemed to find her reason in an instant,He grabbed the girl's arm and said, "Let's go!"
The soldiers in the corridor went to the rescue as soon as they found the fire, but they were understaffed and the fire spread quickly,The wooden structure house originally planned to be "retro European style" was like a burning woodpile, which was out of control.
Mo Yan and Joyce rushed to the first floor, their rooms were on the third floor, and soldiers such as Romon were on the second floor,Pei Ji lived on the first floor, but because of the fire, the corridor was full of thick smoke, and the chandeliers on the ceiling were scratching and smashed to the ground, and burning wood kept falling from his head.
Mo Yan worried about her friends, and ran down the stairs quickly,When she got down to the second floor, she happened to meet Murphy, who also ran up,It was too late to hang on her face with joy,The beam above her head suddenly let out a scream of being overwhelmed, and then fell sharply with a bang,Joyce saw the burning wood coming down, and quickly reached out and fished Mo Yan into her arms, and her arms narrowly grazed the flames.
She saw the sunburn on his shoulder and widened her eyes in horror,"How are you?"
"Nothing. "Joyce replied.
And the stairs blocked by the huge beams can no longer walk,Pei Ji stood under and looked at him, and both sides knew it.
"Protect her and go first. "Pei Ji's voice.
Mo Yan had no time to see their movements, and her body was thin,She was held in Joyce's arms by tasikmalaya, with huge red wings spread behind him, and when she was flapping, the airflow rolled up brought fire planetesimals.
Romon ran to open the window in the corridor, and black smoke blocked the line of sight, only a small piece of white sky could be seen.
"I said that I would take you to fly before, but I didn't expect it to be realized in this case. "Mo Yan was choking and could hardly open her eyes,She only felt Joyce fan her wings hard, and then the next second, the whole person turned into a cyclone and rushed to the wide open window.
"Bang-"a loud noise, the figure wrapped in a lot of broken wood smashed the window edge and jumped out of the house,Joyce flapped his wings and landed as smoothly as possible,He protected the head, hands and feet of the person in his arms and took most of the impact damage for her,When he landed on the ground, many feathers stained with Martian seeds fell off his feet.
"Ahem, how are you?"Mo Yan coughed, and her eyes were hazy and she could hardly see anything.
Joyce endured the burn and took a deep breath and looked at the girl sitting in her arms,She still replied the same way, "Nothing. "
He just wanted to escape from here with foam Yan, when several figures suddenly appeared in front of him-these people were holding all kinds of crude tools and keeping an eye on them with strange eyes.

None were as fitting as his last, Dalric the Deathseeker. Born from an unwanted mating between the greatest warriors of the time, death was his only true kin. It birthed him, molded him, and now standing in the middle of a lifeless battlefield, it drenched him. The blood of thousands of soldiers soaked his skin.

Hidden beneath a thousand layers of their blood, was Dalric's very own. Feeling his life fade, he gazed weakly at his work. A seemingly endless array of corpses laid battered and disfigured before him. Some bore faces of horror, most had no face at all. His most trusted companion floated in front of him, blocking the view. Waves of sorrow flowed between them. “My time has finally come. I’ve begged for death and it’s finally arrived.
