"SS-17" is a weapon and is not treated as an independent life at all.
But not Alphinaud.
From then on, this young man with dark hair and dark eyes was no longer the experimental subject SS-17 belonging to the Tower of Babel, he was Alphinaud.
A free creature.
He was very obedient, as always, obeying Tang Rou's instructions.
He just withdrew his gaze, his antennae became dim, and curled up beside him, showing an appearance of self-protection. The heavy sadness in his eyes was like a silent accusation.
But he didn't say anything, and his figure submerged into the sea water and drifted away.
Tang Rou stood up and watched him slowly disappear under the dark blue waves, leaving her sight.
He was so obedient, which made her feel uncomfortable.
Watching him leave was more difficult than she imagined. Tang Rou looked up at the sky, feeling a dull pain in her brain.
It was very dark with no stars, leaving only the bright moonlight.
Before leaving, Alphinaud gently called her name, "Rou."
But he didn't say anything, just looked at her calmly.
Tang Rou couldn't tell what he was thinking from this single tone.
So I asked him, "What's wrong?"
Alphinaud looked at her steadily, his dark green eyes filled with tenderness.
He looked at her face deeply and carefully, and finally shook his head.
She didn't understand, but in fact he just spoke.
Using the special language of their race that cannot be captured by human ears.
So, she didn't know that in his short "silence", he said, Rou, if you want to leave me and throw me alone in this cold place, then please kill me before leaving.
Most of the emperor penguins who have a lifelong mate system will choose to die after the death of their spouse.
Octopus will slowly decline after mating.
The dolphin suffered from depression because its beloved trainer left, and voluntarily chose to stop breathing, sealing it with love, death, and silence.
So does he.
No, he's even worse.
But he didn't want to tell her, and he didn't want her to show the slightest sadness.
The sea witnessed his monologue, rubbing the surging love into the waves, pushing it to the rocks as the waves pushed him, and kissed her ankles.
…
Tang Rou left the seaside and walked very far, entered the coastal area, sat on a bench and waited quietly.
However, after waiting for a long time, what awaited him was not the coalition's search army, but one after another life-threatening phone calls from Atherlan.
Why didn't the coalition come to arrest her?
Why didn’t Babel take action?
"Rou, where are you? We're leaving soon."
Tang Rou was stunned.
wrong.
Asselan was still urging, "Hurry up, hurry up, you are the only one missing from our car. They are now putting pressure on me. If you continue to grind on me, it will be difficult for me to be a human being."
With such a big thing happening in the Tower of Babel, the Sky Eye Device must have uploaded the data to the Federation immediately. It is impossible that no one knows what she did.
And the survivors of the Tower of Babel who were still alive also saw her.
Then why didn't you come to arrest her and even...concealed the matter?
Tang Rou looked towards the sea.
Perhaps the Tower of Babel, no, the Consortium, wanted to use her to lure out these creatures?
Tang Rou also thought about what that person told her in the dream.
They even created clones of her. So maybe they wanted to use her to control her experimental subjects.
"Speak, sister, you are my biological sister, okay? Help, I'm so stressed..."
Tang Rou calmed down and asked, "Can you come pick me up?"
"Okay, Your Highness, this slave will be here shortly... Tang Rou! Am I your driver?"
Aslan's wolf howl was deafening on the phone, "I'm just a tool and a victim, send me the location! Just wait for me!"
"..."
The iconic building of Babel, the white tower that reached the sky, exploded.
The energy supply system of the entire base collapsed, countless people and experimental subjects were attacked by highly penetrating radiation materials, and a distress signal was sent out.
The huge tower collapsed suddenly, like a curtain of time.
Under night, the dilapidated tower is like a tombstone that has been pushed down, witnessing the death of countless sins and desires.
As the convoy left the Tower of Babel, batches of rescue vehicles were rushing in to urgently blockade the city.
Tang Rou sat in the back row, watching the Tower of Babel outside the glass window getting smaller and smaller, running in the opposite direction.
A few engineers in the front row were discussing the accident. The powerful explosion and radioactive debris caused a large-scale power outage, and the street lights along the way were extinguished.
All thoroughfares in the city are also blocked.
"What happened? The entire office building collapsed, with more than 300 floors. I thought the world was going to end with that movement just now!"
"I just spoke to the high secretary... He said it was an emergency, an X-level alert, but he didn't say what the cause was."
"I heard that the top of the collapsed building was damaged by external forces. This radiation concentration will definitely not be able to escape the nuclear fission reaction. It has something to do with the military."
"Isn't it possible? The military blows itself up?"
"What's going on with those piles of experimental subjects running around in there? I almost vomited when I took one look at it. It's so bloody."
"I don't know. They all ran out. Could it be that the explosion damaged the cabin?"
"It is possible that a few cabins will be damaged by the earthquake. Is it reasonable to say that tens of thousands of cabins are damaged by the earthquake at the same time?"
The discussion became louder and louder, and Aslan subconsciously looked at Tang Rou.
She looked gloomy, as if she hadn't yet adjusted her emotions.
I have a bad feeling in my heart.
...probably not?
Aslan probed tactically, "Well... well, Rou, you asked me to come out before and said you had something to do back home, so... what did you do back there?"
Tang Rou lowered her eyelashes and seemed to be in a bad mood.
The tone is also very light.
He said weakly, "I went back and released 230,000 experimental samples, destroying Area D and the Tower of Babel office building."
"Oh." Aslan nodded, paused for two seconds, and suddenly broke into a voice, "What did you say——!!"
Tang Rou shouted at the top of her voice, like a bean sprout that had been hit by hail, and she looked even more depressed.
She said sadly, "I let go..."
Aslan covered her mouth and said, "No, no need to say it, I heard you."
Then he asked with the last glimmer of hope, "Are you talking about two hundred thousand, or twenty?"
Tang Rou corrected, "Two hundred and thirty thousand."
Oh, it seems that the price was understated by 30,000.
The people of Aslan are numb.
This sister of hers...
No, that's terrible.
Aslan was so shocked that he kept burping and filled the cup with water while trembling.
The person in the front row suddenly turned around and checked with her with a tablet, "Engineer Aslan, we are here..."
Aslan stood up suddenly and hit the roof of the RV with his head, "What! Who? I don't know! It has nothing to do with me!"
Tang Rou and the engineer looked at her strangely.
"Ah... I'm going to stand up and move around," Aslan smiled awkwardly, twisted his waist, and made the stretching movements of an elderly person, and then asked calmly, "What did you just say?"
"...We have twenty-three experimental samples here. One of them is no longer recorded. You added it temporarily, right?"
twenty-three……
Atherlan couldn't look straight at the number twenty-three.
She glanced at Tang Rou calmly, who was looking out the window with a paralyzed expression on her face, looking a little sad.
...If she hadn't destroyed the Tower of Babel, Aslan might have felt that Tang Rou was like a pitiable little pity at this moment.
I am a sister who always, um, does big things quietly.
Each time is more shocking than the last.
The most frequently reproduced topics on social media right now are that one is that the Ocean Research Institute was invaded by strange creatures, and the other is that the entire Tower of Babel is blocked and all parts of the city are closed to external traffic.
She did both.
...And she still looked slightly sad. Atherland wanted to comfort her, but felt that his words were more or less weak.
Besides...
Does she really need comfort!!
What needs to be comforted is that she was forced to bear a secret that she shouldn't bear, and Athelan was frightened!
