"You succeeded, Artem!" Miller got out of the car and extended his hand in a friendly manner, "To be honest, I was a little skeptical at first."
"Although the librarian is strong, he is no match for me." Xie Yuan could only hold his hand. Although he didn't understand why he suddenly became calm, he was happy with it.
"So what did you find?" Miller wanted to ask about the results.
A red cardboard document was placed in front of him. Miller took the document and put it back in his bag.
"Okay," Miller opened the car door and motioned for Xie Yuan to get in, "Get in the car, it's time to take you to our Spartan base."
As soon as Xie Yuan went to work, he saw Ullman, who liked to be funny and weird. Even when he saw Xie Yuan, he said: "Madam, where are you going? You give me fifty rounds of ammunition, and I will take you anywhere!"
"Fifty rounds?" Xie Yuan also said something he only understood, "Is your car made of titanium alloy or mithril?"
"Made of scrap metal." Fortunately, Ullman really couldn't take the joke, "but he's the only one on the entire ground who can open it."
"Artyom, are you interested in joining the Rangers?" Miller asked Xie Yuan while sitting in the back seat.
"It is impossible to say that there is no interest." Xie Yuan also had to admit that the Rangers' welfare benefits and equipment supply are among the best in the subway at this stage.
Moreover, with his skills and experience, joining the Rangers is a powerful combination, and the Rangers on the other side who are comparable to the pre-war troop supply can also best utilize his skills.
But first, he promised his adoptive father that he would come back after delivering the message and not join the Rangers; secondly, as he learned more about the fatal problems in the upper echelons of the subway, the less he wanted to participate, but the Rangers were following these subway
Deep-seated issues are connected together!
Therefore, Xie Yuan is still respectful of the trouble: "But my station is still very weak, and they still need my protection, so I can't join the Rangers yet. Thank you for your kindness."
"I understand." Miller was speechless after hearing Xie Yuan's reply.
A group of three people began to drive on the road silently.
"Would you like some music?" Seeing the dull atmosphere, Ullman made a suggestion.
"That's fine!" Miller agreed.
A burst of melodious classical music was played from the radio station. Xie Yuan estimated that it was played from Polis' radio station.
The music did dilute the stiff atmosphere a bit. Xie Yuan asked Miller: "Is it Khan who guided you to find me?"
"How do you know?" Miller couldn't hide his surprise, "Did you predict this?"
"How is it possible?" Xie Yuan laughed dumbly, "The so-called mental ability is caused by the unique structure of the brain at birth.
I guess Khan did it because of previous joint actions, and I suspect that his brain structure allows him to predict some upcoming things in advance."
"What about you?" Miller focused on Xie Yuan again, "You said you are stronger and faster than the Dark One?"
"Although I would like to brag about my extraordinary talents, it's a pity that I am not." Xie Yuan denied it. "I was an ordinary person like you in the beginning. I can accept the impact of the dark ones because I have seen the darkness in the past.
By.
The first time we met, he saved my life and made some changes to me."
"Has the Dark One transformed you?" Miller's eyes suddenly turned sharp as he looked at Xie Yuan.
"If you want to accuse me of being the leader of the Dark One, that's up to you." Xie Yuan responded silently.
"No, I know you're not. The love you receive at your subway station cannot be faked." Miller slowed down his speech with an expression of unknown emotion, "I just didn't expect the Dark One to save him."
Your life."
Xie Yuan explained the reason for this behavior to the people in the car: "They inadvertently trained a translator at the time, but it was only later that they realized that they could not communicate normally with ordinary humans.
But they wanted to communicate, so they visited nearby stations, but unfortunately they didn’t expect that their mediocre communication skills would overload people’s brains!”
"Do you mean that the Dark Ghost has no malicious intent?" Miller's tone became sharp, "As a direct person, don't tell me that you don't know how many people the Dark Ghost has killed!"
"Of course I know! That's why I joined in." Xie Yuan turned around and looked at Miller without flinching, "But you need to understand that the dark ghost does not kill people because of malice, but does bad things because of good intentions!"
"Is this important? The point is that dark ghosts cause a large number of human deaths, and as the guardians of mankind, we must eliminate the threat! No matter what the cost!" Miller glared at Xie Yuan without giving in. He knew what Xie Yuan actually thought.
There is a difference with them.
"Of course it's important! Because you can be sure that what you do is definitely right?"
I don’t know if the people can bear it or not, but I don’t know if it’s right!”
"Then what do you want?" Miller asked.
"Let them go!" Xie Yuan finally expressed his true wish.
"After they killed so many people and wiped out everyone in several stations?" Miller looked in disbelief.
"We can't afford to die!" Xie Yuan turned around and looked forward, his tone very erratic, like babble, "As long as they are willing to leave, the land in the botanical garden can be used as land where plants can grow.
High-yielding crops... maybe a few fewer people will die in the next year or two."
The car fell into silence again. The two old soldiers in military uniforms did not expect that a reckless man could say such a thing.
But the word "crop" still evoked their imagination. Yes, once upon a time, they grew up eating bread and drinking milk, but what about now?
We eat "cave mushrooms" watered with fresh "manure" and drink tea brewed with water simply filtered from the original channel. The water is reused.
If I could go back a little bit to the past...even just a little bit, that would be a very attractive dream!
"Here we are! Everyone." Ullman slowed down the car as he approached a church and introduced to Xie Yuan, "This is mankind's first and so far only human outpost... Spartan Outdoor Base
.”
"Artyom," Miller stopped Xie Yuan after he got out of the car, "Let's take a look around for a while. I also want to take a look at the documents you brought."
Xie Yuan nodded: "Okay."
After Miller went up, the first thing Xie Yuan went to visit was the weapons depot to see what interesting equipment the strongest troops had.
"What are these?" Xie Yuan asked the man in a fur hat leaning against the wall in the equipment warehouse. Although all the equipment was in front of him at the moment, this was polite.
"Artem, I am Vladimir." Vladimir nodded to Xie Yuan, then spread his hands, indicating that he could just pick whatever he wanted, "You can choose whatever you want here."
Then Xie Yuan was not polite. He picked a shotgun modified from a DSHK heavy machine gun from the weapons.
This shotgun was developed on the basis of the pre-war DSHK heavy machine gun. To be precise, those DSHK machine guns that had lost their use value due to disrepair and scarcity of ammunition were directly modified into automatic weapons that use shotguns.
Although it weighs 20 pounds no matter how much weight is reduced due to the basic structure, it is still a just-right weapon for Xie Yuan. Through the modification device next to it, Xie Yuan added a large-capacity ammunition box and a shotgun silencer.
"..." Vladimir raised his eyebrows at Xie Yuan's choice, but did not stop him. He could still see that Xie Yuan was doing it with ease.
However, he still stopped Xie Yuan from hanging it on his body. He said that he would put it on the transportation vehicle that he would travel with later, so he didn't need to take it with him.
Xie Yuan thanked him, and then he was about to go upstairs again, and then he found the funny Ullman again - he was chopping firewood.
"Are you doing it for exercise or to make fuel?" Out of curiosity, Xie Yuan still asked.
"Hello, Artyom." "Crack!" Ullman said hello, then split the wood in half with a quick split, and then replied, "As you can see, I am exercising...
…Let me concentrate on finishing the chopping!”
Xie Yuan could only nod and went upstairs.
As soon as I ran up to the second floor, I saw an old man wearing a red hood packing his luggage in front of the cross statue. It was the Khan who was traveling with me before!
The Khan must have a very keen spiritual sense, because Xie Yuan is used to walking silently, but as soon as he walked behind the Khan, the Khan turned around and said hello to Xie Yuan: "Hello, Artem
, I said we would meet again."
"Yes, I guessed that you were the one who could find me," Xie Yuan also replied, "My guess was really accurate."
However, Khan did not explain why he could find Xie Yuan so accurately. Instead, he looked around and commented: "It seems that the Rangers have found a good base for themselves. I heard that the metropolis is not going to help you. Then
What are you going to do?"
"Cold salad." Xie Yuan was also angry that Polis was standing by and watching, so he didn't have a good face about it. "Such an irresponsible force will not unify the subway in the end. Let's see and watch it fail!"
"Haha, Artyom, it seems that you have a plan in mind, so I can rest assured." Khan didn't like Polis either, so he quickly conveyed his true worries to Xie Yuan, "
The only thing I'm worried about is where your path will lead."
He exhorted in the tone of a magic stick: "What you sow, you will reap, Artem.
The only answer to power is power. War only breeds war, and death only brings death.
To break this evil cycle, we must do something, not just act, not even think about it, not even doubt it.”
Xie Yuan was shocked when he heard this, and wanted to ask the old man if his idea of expelling the Dark One would have any side effects.
But Khan stopped him in advance, as if he knew what he was thinking: "I will not judge your idea. If this is your idea, then implement it."
He patted Xie Yuan's shoulder as a farewell: "Okay, Artem, I've talked here long enough, I have to go."
Seeing Khan walking away without a trace, Xie Yuan could only put his chaotic thoughts in order. It was time to go find Miller.
"Are you ready?" Miller looked at Xie Yuan for confirmation. "There isn't much useful stuff in this file - at most there are just some clues, although it does point out the way to the D6 base. That's ours.
destination."
"I have been waiting for this day for a long time!" Xie Yuan said firmly, "Everything is ready."
