In the cold high altitude, Rosie pulled the door of the suspension car hard, and took a breath while propping up the seat.

Blood slowly oozes from the pure white military uniform jacket, and the wounds of the operation are deliberately controlled to be small. However, there are too many such wounds. No matter what he does, there will always be a part involved.Rosie breathed heavily as the clothes spread wildly, pressing against her chest.

The heart that had just been sewn together felt a sharp pain, every time it contracted it felt like a knife cut, and Rosie couldn't help but groan.In front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, his long hair was already soaked in cold sweat, but Deng Huailing was too far away from him, and he acted so well that the other party didn't notice anything strange.

He was lying on his side curled up in the back seat, his right hand clenched the clothes on his chest, and he closed his eyes to endure it.The effect of adrenaline gradually faded, and the nerves that sense pain became more sensitive, but he couldn't tell whether the feeling came from his body or the heartache of breaking up with Deng Huailing.

"Pain all over the body is normal, it means your nervous system is healthy and active." The killer drove the car heartlessly in the driver's seat, as if he thought it was nothing to Rosie, but the doctor in the co-pilot turned his head and spoke"Before crossing the Cesina border, we can't inject you with anesthesia, in case there is an unexpected situation and it's too late to deal with it."

"I know." Rosie nodded weakly at the doctor, and heard the killer sneering in front of him: "Why did he suffer from the pain of the operation, when we fought against the government army on the East 1 border, this monster was shot in the leg.I can connect myself an exoskeleton and continue to charge, and now I probably regret breaking up with his little boyfriend."

"Speak less and no one will think you are dumb." Rosie angrily snapped.

"Tsk tsk, 'shu' has a subsidy for family members, which you stipulated yourself." The killer raised his eyebrows, "Why are you reluctant to take Deng Huailing with you when it's your turn? You see, the doctors are willing to agree with me.I'm leaving, in order to get an extra allowance."

"What you told me at the time was that if you don't leave, my body will be soaked in formalin and transported to the second district." The doctor's tone was helpless.

"Aren't they all the same?" The killer said in an astonishing way, "Actually, the difference between dead and alive is not that big. You can refit after death, and you can do it."

"I don't have any special hobbies," Rosie lowered her eyelashes and whispered, "I just want him to live. Even if he likes someone else, even if there is no intersection since then, I am satisfied."

"How about writing this sentence silently every day before going to bed, and see if you will regret it?" The killer looked gloating.

Their hover car gradually approached the city limits, and the taupe second district was hidden behind the anti-radiation material.There were no reconnaissance drones flying out of the checkpoints, no machine guns and anti-aircraft missiles, and the army's garrison was as silent as death. After Robert sent someone to blow up the data storage center, Cesina lost Rose, the omnipotent.Can't eyes.

"Rosie, there is something I think you need to know." The killer said, "You should remember that Rose was killed more than ten years ago, and Robert used artificial intelligence to create her virtual personality; just last night, in order to cover the operationShe mobilized all the android troops in the city to attack the government until this morning, and the data storage center was destroyed."

Rosie was taken aback, but didn't speak.The killer continued: "And Chen Wei, he transmitted your transformation data and the map of the lost city to us last night, and then disconnected. If there is no accident, he is probably no longer alive."

"Chen Wei..." Rosie blinked blankly, feeling that her throat was suddenly blocked, and she couldn't make any sound.What still appeared in front of his eyes was the somewhat youthful face, exuding an unfriendly atmosphere. A long time ago, the chief scientific research officer with a deep city was just a simple boy.

During the long years, he has lost countless friends and subordinates, so that every time he heard the news of someone's death, there was only wordless silence left.Rosie has no energy left to bow, to address, to falsely praise their sacrifices, he can't even see them one last time, he can't stop for them.

Many people fell like a meteor, across the sky of his life, and it was meaningless to cry for them. He could only walk with more and more heavy beliefs to fulfill the last wishes of these people.

He braced himself up and asked the killer: "What about the casualties in God's Residence? Are Xue Nai and the others alright?"

"Piper sent a message saying that they successfully entered the East 3 border four hours ago, Tsukino Yukina and Bai Shijin are both alive." The killer took out the communicator and glanced, "God's Residence originally had 1,500 people,More than two hundred people survived, and Piper will carve out a place for them in East 3."

"It's about the same as I expected." Rosie sighed wearily, "It's time for us to go to East 3 too."

"Aren't you going back to Dong 1 under your original jurisdiction? I thought you were in a hurry to beat Victor up." The killer asked knowingly.

"East 1 is too close to Victor's West 1." Rosie smiled lightly, "There is no need to go back and look, he must have cleaned the forces there countless times. Victor's internal intelligence network has always been perfect. If I return to that jurisdiction, will be assassinated that day."

"Well, do you know him well?" After swaggering past the checkpoint, the killer switched the suspension vehicle to automatic driving and let go of his hands, "My east was occupied by a Chinese named Li Ling 20 years ago.It seems East 3 is the only option."

"Piper won't mind giving me the military command of East 3, this is our first card; in addition, I can also persuade several neutral regions to support me, so that the chips in my hand will be moreSome."

"After this? Are you going to declare war on Victor?" The killer glanced at the rearview mirror.

"No, that's a stupid approach." Rosie turned over and looked at the roof of the car and said, "There can't be a civil war in the second district, and even if there is a war, it must be resolved within twelve hours, otherwise it will leave Robert with an opportunity——But twelve hours? I’m afraid you can’t even touch the border of West 1.”

"Then ask our esteemed leader, isn't it stupid?"

"Don't you also have the answer, why ask me? Chen Wei has already sent you an email, something that both 'Shu' and Cesina's government are chasing, and can scare Victor without bloodshed—"

"The lock of the brain." The killer continued with a tacit understanding, "Whoever gets it will take over everything. This is indeed the most economical solution..."

During the casual conversation, the levitating car skimmed through the cracks in the radiation-proof material, as if breaking out of a greenhouse, and plunged into the snow and dust all over the mountains and plains.The city stops here abruptly, and the endless wilderness spreads out in the field of vision. The soft curves of mountains and rivers are covered by snow, and some black forests are dotted in between.

The killer whistled freely, ignoring the fact that there were still wounded in the car, and opened the windows to let in the extremely cold wind.It was winter in the second district, when the low temperature and radiation were at their worst. Even though it could not be detected, the radiation in the car instantly exceeded the maximum that the human body could withstand for a year.

In the second district soaked in death and disease, mothers usually open their arms to them.

After sleeping for an unknown amount of time, Rosie opened her eyes sleepily, and the white ceiling hit her eyes.

The sheets and quilt were also white, and the drip was stuck on the back of his hand, which was cold. He tried to sit up, his whole body felt as if he had been bitten by ants, and there was soreness everywhere.

The blood-stained military uniform had already been replaced. He pulled out the needle on the back of his hand, adjusted the hospital gown, and rang the bell to call someone in.The guard in black military uniform and white armband pushed open the door. It was Piper's subordinate, who was a little surprised to see him: "Are you awake?"

Instead of asking "how long have I been unconscious," Rosie glances at the bedside clock, which shows a date that is three days before he leaves Cecina.

"Call Piper to meet me," he said succinctly as he pulled his hair back, "or get me a suit and I'll see her myself."

The guard told him that Piper was meeting another adjudicator on the ground, and Rosie half-forced the other to find a suit, and stepped out of the ward regardless of dissuasion.

This is a certain hospital attached to an underground military building. In Rosie's memory, it should be on the edge of East 3 and at the junction of East 4.The second district has a vast territory. For the convenience of administration, Rosie once divided the second district into the east and west sides, with six jurisdictions on each side, which were managed by eleven adjudicators and himself.

Ruler of East 3 is Piper, and next to her is the adjudicator of East 4, Parisa Simmons.

Rosie buttoned up her shirt and wondered how Piper might have gotten involved with the man—he knew only a handful of Parisa, and his few memories remained in theThe other party is a classical music fanatic, and on that dazzling blond hair.

There are a lot of eccentrics in the eleventh meeting, and Parisa is undoubtedly a eccentric indifferent to fame and fortune. It is common to be distracted during meetings and fall asleep during the agenda. Whenever Rosie casts her eyes on the other party, she will always see ParisaLisa smiled lazily, and stared at him casually with green eyes; however, all this can be tolerated. East 4 under the jurisdiction of the other party is prosperous and peaceful, and never participates in disputes. It is praised by the people as the "Spring Capital".

Rosie knew that the news of his return to the second district would not be hidden for a long time, and the adjudicators with ulterior motives would come to him one by one, but he did not expect that Parisa would be the first to react.

He boarded the elevator leading to the ground—for the purpose of isolating radiation, most of the buildings in the second district are buried deep underground, like a replica of God's Residence, but the living facilities are much more complete.On the ground, you need to wear protective clothing. Rosie wears a jet-black jacket over the shirt, and the same color trousers wrap her legs, all made of radiation-resistant materials.

Even though it was ten degrees below zero on the ground, he still wore very little, so as not to be hindered by bulky clothes.This point is quite similar to Deng Huailing. He remembered the helpless expression of the little hunter when Rosie persuaded Deng Huailing to put on the winter clothes, and he couldn't help chuckling, and then his eyes became sad again.No one will walk with him in the snow wearing a scarf anymore.

He started an off-road vehicle lent to him by the guards, turned on the wipers and galloped across the wasteland.The dead trees outside the window flashed past one after another, and the snowflakes rushed to the window, melting on the heated glass surface, dripping down like tears.

Rosie drove for twenty minutes, and with her familiarity with East 3, she quickly found the camp where Piper and Parisa met.The second district often experienced food shortages in winter, so there was a tradition of winter hunting. The two adjudicators met and talked with each other, and came to hunt by chance.

He turned off the engine and got out of the car. As soon as he stepped on the snow, there were dense sounds of bullets being loaded around him.The soldiers of "Shu" stood guard near the camp against the wind and snow, pointed their black muzzles at him, and shouted: "Stand back, raise your hands above your head, and no one who is irrelevant is allowed to stay nearby!"

"Hey, I'm not..." Rosie finally realized that this time, he didn't have any subordinates to arrange the entry and exit permits for him, and according to his usual faceless style, neither Piper nor Parisa's soldiers knew him.The so-called "the vassal of my vassal is not my vassal" is fully interpreted at this moment.

Rosie was thinking about how to get Piper's attention, so that the other party could rescue him, when suddenly someone in the snowstorm said with a smile: "He is not an irrelevant person, let him come here."

Snowflakes fell on the satin-like blond hair, and the green-eyed young man walked away from the crowd, with a graceful demeanor like a nobleman.Parisa's eyes fell on him, staring at him for a moment, then leaning over to take Rosie's hand, smiling as she noticed the black ring on her index finger.

It was a childish smile. To be precise, it was the smile of a child when he saw that his favorite toy in the window had not been bought yet and he had saved enough pocket money.

Parisa put a kiss on the back of that hand, looked at Rosie's petrified expression, smiled even more, and said softly:

"Welcome back."
