But this time, she found that she could no longer maintain that state of mind.
Looking at those couples who were arm in arm talking and laughing, she actually felt so envious.
"Sister, do you want to buy a bunch of flowers?"
A little girl stopped in front of her, holding a large bouquet of roses in her hand, and looked at her flickeringly with big eyes.
Yang Xue bought a bunch and took it in her hand, and sat quietly on the leisure chair in the center of the mall.
There was a lot of voices around, but there was only that one voice in her mind.
"I prefer...you who like me."
……
"Jingle Bell--"
The phone rang, interrupting Yang Xue's thoughts.
She took out the phone and pressed the answer button.
"Hi, I'm Yang Xue, what?! Okay, I see, I'll be there right away!"
Hanging up the phone, she immediately booked a ticket to Europe.
The confusion in her eyes had disappeared, and she returned to that competent Director Yang.
The call just now was from Claremont, the experiment director of site17. He originally wanted to find Zhang Jue, but Zhang Jue had already told him that if he couldn't be reached, he should find Yang Xue.
The reason why Claremont made this call was because of a very important thing——053 (Shirley) seemed to be waking up.
Shirley is Zhang Jue's god-sister, and her importance to Zhang Jue is self-evident.
People close to Zhang Jue, including Claremont and Yang Xue, knew this.
So upon hearing this, Yang Xue didn't delay for a moment, and got on the plane that night.
The next afternoon, Yang Xue came to site17.
Claremont received her, and after exchanging news in a few words, the two came to Shirley's room together.
Shirley was still asleep.
But unlike before, she would occasionally utter a few incomprehensible ravings.
According to the staff, she even called out Zhang Jue's name last night.
Even in a deep sleep, the little girl did not forget her big brother.
Looking at Xue Li's petite face, Yang Xue's eyes flashed with distress.
She asked: "Can you record her dream talk and find a language expert to decipher it, maybe it will help her wake up."
Claremont nodded: "This matter is already being done, but there are too few samples and the progress is slow. I will send the recording to your email at the same time. Dr. Yang can study it when he is free."
Before leaving, Claremont took a look at Yang Xue.
"Dr. Yang, Consultant Zhang..."
"He has something to do, he needs to leave for a while, and he will come back soon." Yang Xue looked into his eyes and said.
"Thank you." Claremont nodded and left the room.
……
At night, Yang Xue came to the terrace of the main building of Site 17 and looked up at the starry sky.
The sound of "click, click" came from far to near, and the little girl Karina also came over.
In the past few months, while studying in a school under the management authority, she studied with Claremont. She has been able to complete some simple experiments independently, and even her temper has calmed down a lot. She is completely different from the previous homeless girl. , and the reason for such a result, in addition to her extraordinary talent, is also largely due to Zhang Jue's credit.
"Sister Yang Xue." She stood beside Yang Xue, raised her delicate neck, and looked at the deep starry sky together.
"Well, are you done with your homework?"
"It's not difficult, it's already done."
"Really?" Yang Xue looked at her and said with a smile, "Show me for my sister?"
"Never!"
The little girl snorted and turned around.
"Sister, you are becoming more and more like that bad guy!"
Yang Xue shook her head and chuckled.
According to Zhang Jue's instructions, Yang Xue did not tell anyone the truth about his disappearance.
But the little girl is not an ordinary person, and Yang Xue's clumsy acting skills can't fool her at all.
But she has been tactfully not to expose.
Seven or eight months had passed since Zhang Jue visited her last time, and Karina missed him a little.
But she could see that the sister who was smiling with tears in front of her thought more than she did.
"Sister Yang Xue."
"Ok?"
"You said, will he come back?"
"He said he'd be back."
"What did he say?"
"Yes, he said, definitely will."
……
The next day, a convoy from the Authority headquarters drove into the site gate of site17.
There was an entire formation of MTFs in the car. They entered the site dormitory building and kicked open the door of Karina's room without saying a word.
Fortunately, the little girl lived with Yang Xue last night.
Seeing this situation, Yang Xue protected her behind her, and faced those heavily armed MTF members, she did not back down in the slightest.
"What are you going to do?" she said coldly.
The leading captain took out a piece of paper and waved it in front of Yang Xue: "Dr. Yang, this is an order from O5. We are going to take her away. I hope you will not hinder us."
"No! Before Consultant Zhang returns, no one can touch Karina. This is an agreement between him and the O5 Council."
"We don't know what the agreement is, we just do things according to the order, Dr. Yang, if you don't go away, don't blame us."
Yang Xue looked at the captain, didn't continue talking, but took out the pistol she carried with her.
"Dr. Yang!"
Seeing her movement, all TF players raised their guns and pointed at her.
Just like when they pointed their guns at Zhang Jue.
Karina, who was hiding behind Yang Xue, clenched her fist secretly, secretly activated her reality distortion ability, and was about to kill all these short-sighted TF players, but she suddenly found that her ability didn't work.
She didn't know that this MTF team was specially used by the Administration to deal with reality benders. Their team was equipped with several medium-sized reality anchors. Although they were not as exquisite as the one she gave Zhang Jue, they were more numerous , enough to suppress her.
"What! What!"
Hearing the commotion here, Dr. Bright and Claremont also rushed over.
Dr. Bright hit his chest hard, and the gorilla let out an angry cry: "I am the personnel director, Karina is now a trainee researcher at Site 17, you want to arrest people, have you obtained my consent?! "
The MTF captain showed him the transfer order again: "Dr. Bright, this is a transfer order from Master O5. Today we have to take this little girl away no matter what."
After finishing speaking, he pointed his gun at Yang Xue again: "Dr. Yang, if you don't cooperate with the work again, don't blame me for being rude!"
"Cough-cough-"
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard two coughs coming from behind him.
Everyone looked around, only to see number 073 (Cain) coming from the other end of the corridor.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, he passed through all the MTF players, came to Yang Xue, and smiled at her.
Yang Xue nodded slightly in response.
Cain's aura was very strong. After he appeared, no one could move except Yang Xue and Karina.
He stood in front of the two girls and protected them all behind his back, his position speaks for itself.
Until then, everyone felt that strange aura gradually disappearing.
Seeing that Cain actually came to intervene in this matter, the MTF captain's eyes gradually turned dark.
"I have an O5 transfer order, Cain, Dr. Yang, you should know what what you are doing now means, I will warn you one last time, don't get out of the way again, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Facing his threat, Yang Xue kept a cold face, while Cain tilted her head.
Without Zhang Jue, they were Karina's most steadfast guardians.
The two sides refused to give in to each other, and it seemed that the most intense battle would break out in the next second.
At this moment, an old voice sounded.
"Where did the bastard dare to act wild here, is he tired of doing it?!"
……
Thanks to Daoyou 6bu6, Qin Zhidaoer, a paratrooper, TLK, Lesheng, Wuhu and many other bigwigs for their rewards.
3 Chapter Fifty
Everyone followed the prestige, and saw an old man walking slowly with the support of the deputy station master Harvey.
His face was full of ravines, not angry but majestic.
Slowly scanning the crowd, none of them dared to look at him.
The person who came was none other than the site 17 site master, Hubbard.
Just like the difference between O5 and O5, the authority has hundreds of sites under its jurisdiction, and each site owner has different powers and resources at his disposal.
If there are any station masters who can confront an O5 head-on, or even influence the decision of the O5 council, then Hubbard is definitely one of them.
He has served as the stationmaster of site17 for decades, and the talents he brought out under his command are countless.
Even those four famous doctors didn't dare to take a breath when they were reprimanded by him.
Twice he was nominated for promotion to the O5, but he turned them down both times.
The reason is simple. He feels that he is old and wants to leave more opportunities to young people.
And the reason why he still hasn't retired in the Year of Gluttony is because site17 is quite special.
There are many anomalies in human form contained here, and if one is not careful, such a vicious incident will happen again, which neither he nor the administration wants to see.
Having said so much, in fact, there is only one central idea. This old man is not simple.
Although he is already semi-retired, he is not an existence that can be ignored at any time.
The sudden appearance of this MTF team touched his reverse scales.
No one has dared to come directly to Site 17 to take someone without talking to him.
Not even if it's an O5.
The captain of the MTF team had also heard Hubbard's name, and under his gaze, he couldn't even hold the gun in his hand steadily.
"Stand, Mr. Station Master"
Hubbard interrupted him coldly: "If I'm not wrong, your transfer order was written by the fourth child. There are still a few days before New Year's Day, and he can't wait? Go back and tell Thompson, I disagree. After he and Twelve have handed over, he will issue an order in the name of the headquarters, and if he refuses to obey, let him come to me in person!"
Hubbard dismissed an O5's transfer order in front of everyone, and firmly suppressed the other party in terms of momentum.
And the reason why he knew O54's name was because this man had worked under him and was often scolded.
The captain of the MTF squad is more difficult.
Although Hubbard is only standing here alone, he represents the will of the entire site17. There are not only a few MTF teams stationed here, but also many powerful humanoid projects, let alone an MTF. If you don't use heavy weapons, even if a small army comes, you won't get any benefits. Even if you can use heavy weapons, you probably won't be able to escape the fate of being beheaded.
After a moment of confrontation, the captain gave up.
