Coming out of the President's Office, Angie was filled with doubts.
The Enclave's situation was ups and downs, all relying on David Lawrence's personal charm to keep him together. But ever since the presidential palace was moved to this small island in Lake Michigan near Chicago, he has lived in seclusion and rarely met directly with outsiders.
The top management of the Enclave has also been undergoing a major change recently. For example, the original Enclave president and current Vice President Biden were directly dismissed, and they were left idle and lost power.
As soon as Biden fell, the old batch of Enclave officials were also purged, and the people who replaced them were not people from the original New York Brotherhood. Instead, most of them were members of the American Baath Party, which had long been weak. This was quite unexpected.
After the "Red Wedding", the Enclave launched a Jedi counterattack under the leadership of David Lawrence and fought tooth and nail to attack. The ferocious posture showed the brutality and fearlessness of "if you can't survive, you won't let the enemy survive".
As a result, Zhou Qingfeng was unwilling to suffer too many casualties, so he created a plague to defend himself. The officers and soldiers of the Enclave could brave artillery fire and make fearless sacrifices, but no one wanted to be killed by the plague - it was still a 'mutant'
Viruses are a terrible way to die.
If you die due to mutation, you will probably not be able to go to heaven.
After half a month's delay, the morale of the Enclave's army plummeted. Instead, the officers and soldiers began to cherish their lives, losing the previous fearless energy of 'saving the country and the nation'.
Angie came to see her father after seeing this clearly. However, when she finally met 'David Lawrence', she was dismissed in a few words. 'David Lawrence' instead asked her to act according to the previous agreement.
"What was your agreement with your father?"
The only person Angie could discuss with now was her mother. She returned to her residence and told Rachel the situation. Naturally, the married woman wanted to ask clearly.
"Dad once said that he would fight to the end and never give in." Angie thought about it and told Rachel, "But if he fails, let me go to Victor. He said that Victor should not be in trouble.
I."
After the failure, they defected to Victor Hugo? The mother and daughter looked at each other at this situation.
Ever since David Lawrence became weird, the two of them had lost all power and status. Rachel couldn't find a monastery to retreat to, and Angie couldn't return to Washington, D.C., to take charge of her millions of residents.
Now the mother and daughter are two mascots. They are sent out when needed to appease the people. At other times, they are locked up in the presidential palace without any freedom. There are no servants, no entourage, no power, and their treatment in all aspects of food, clothing, housing and transportation has dropped significantly.
Life has reached the point of embarrassment.
If she could go to Victor Hugo, Rachel would have run away a long time ago. Especially if she didn't run away, if she couldn't hide her belly after a few months, God knows what David Lawrence would be like when he knew the truth.
I was furious. At that time, I was afraid that I would never be able to run away again.
But how to escape? This is a difficult problem.
The entire presidential residence has been tightly sealed, and the security personnel have all been replaced. It is difficult for Angie to see her father, let alone leave here.
"We have to contact the outside world, and at the same time we have to find people for help." Anji's mind was quick, and she knew that the mother and daughter could not leave with their own helpless hands.
"It's not difficult to contact the outside world." Rachel thought for a while and said: "I have accumulated a lot of popularity through charity activities in the past, and the woman named Dania asked me to do a live TV broadcast every few days to promote it.
.
The filming, broadcasting, transmitting and other equipment used for propaganda are in Area E on the ground floor of the Presidential Palace. I am quite familiar with the propaganda people, so maybe I can have the opportunity to send some information."
Being able to send information is only one step in escaping. If you really want to escape, you need help from someone. This person also needs to have some identity and ability.
"Mom, do you think Tony Parker can be used?" Angie asked, "He seems to have been marginalized recently. I always feel that there is a conflict between him and Dania. Maybe we can use it.
.”
"No." Rachel categorically denied her daughter's idea, "Tony Parker is extremely selfish. He may have conflicts with Dania, but we have no benefits to bribe him. Asking him for help is like giving away.
Give him some credit."
Rachel thought clearly, and Angie thought for a while and agreed with this point of view. But when the mother and daughter talked about Tony Parker, there was a loud noise outside the door of the room where they were, followed by someone kicking the door.
.
The steel security door was deformed after a few kicks, and Tony Parker, already a third-generation mutant, walked in from the outside cursing.
Anji is no longer the noble 'Her Royal Highness' she used to be. The bedroom she lives in is just a simple single room. Once the door is opened, there is nowhere to hide.
Even though this person has great wisdom, he cannot withstand the invasion of violence. As soon as Tony Parker came in, Angie was so frightened that she screamed, and Rachel could only stand up and stop her.
"Get out." Rachel protected her daughter and shouted angrily with a cold look on her face. But in fact, she herself was so frightened that her legs went weak.
Simply shouting angrily was of no use. Instead, it made Tony Parker sneer. The bastard smelled of alcohol and pointed at Rachel and Angie, mother and daughter, and sneered: "You look down on me, right? I know you all do.
Look down on me, I have always wanted to pursue Anji, but you all don't agree.
But now no one is supporting you, so why are you talking loudly to me? I tell you, David Lawrence is finished, he can’t care about you now. Victor Hugo is finished too, and he will be too.
Big trouble."
Faced with Tony Parker's provocation, Angie argued behind her mother: "Victor is not that easy to defeat. In fact, you have never taken advantage of him in the past, but have been frustrated repeatedly. Every time you are embarrassed.
you."
"Am I embarrassed?" Tony Parker was furious, and the bastard immediately shouted loudly: "I was embarrassed in the past, but this time it's different. Victor thought we could win by setting up a plague, but I
I want to tell you that we have a more powerful virus.
We don't care about winning or losing this time, we just want to kill Victor Hugo. Since it is going to be destroyed, let's destroy it together. There will be another catastrophe, another human catastrophe, and another end of civilization. It's just dead people anyway, so we don't care.
"
Tony Parker laughed heartily and staggered, trying to force himself in front of Rachel to catch Angie. He kept shouting in a low voice: "Angie is mine, she is my bride. David Lawrence
You promised to marry Angie to me, so she is mine."
The mother and daughter kept screaming, retreating, and resisting, but they were unable to stop Tony Parker's actions. Just when Angie was about to commit suicide to avoid being humiliated, Dania walked in from the fallen door and attacked Tony, who was committing violence.
.Parker said: "Tony, that's enough. Your Uncle Lawrence will be unhappy."
"Don't you fucking mind me. I know David Lawrence is finished." Tony Parker turned around and cursed fiercely: "You can't fool me, the President is just wearing David Lawrence's skin.
"
"I'm afraid the situation is not what you think." Dania snorted and called several extremely powerful mutant soldiers and forcibly dragged Tony Parker out. "We still need to respect the Lawrence family, even if we are just pretending.
You have to pretend to be presentable."
Tony Parker, who was yelling and scolding, was dragged away. Dania sneered at the crying mother and daughter, shrugged and taunted: "Don't thank me, I just think you two are still valuable. Be good in the future.
Even if you repay me."
The continuous blows almost wiped out all possibilities of rescue. Rachel and Angie could only fall to the floor of the room in grief and anger, desperate and helpless.
