The descendant of the Great Sage in Marvel

Leo saw that Mina was still a little hesitant, and then said, "Look, Miss Mina, our exchange just now was actually very pleasant, and your cookies were also delicious, so I don't want to get too business-like with you. ..kan121."

"If it's business, what do you want to do with me?" Mina asked anxiously.

Leo was still smiling and said calmly, "Believe me, you don't want to know this. There is not much age difference between you and me. I also believe that what happened eight years ago has nothing to do with you. As long as you cooperate with my actions, These things will not involve you."

Although Mina is a genius in energy and is a senior engineer at Roxon Company at a young age, she is still a young girl after all. As soon as she heard what Leo said and thought of his police badge, she couldn't help but feel... I thought of the movies and TV series about these intelligence organizations I had watched before, and my face suddenly turned pale.

Although Leo's borrowed identity is not as well-known as a notorious domestic intelligence agency like the FBI, since the two organizations can be compared, how can it be any better?

"Okay, but let me state in advance that after all, I am just a technician from Roxon Company. I can take you to see my workplace, but I can't take you to more confidential things, and I can't take you there. Get exposed to these things.

And I can only promise to take you to see it, but if the security department of Roxon Company does not allow you to pass, then there is nothing I can do. "Out of fear of Cia, Mina decided to agree to Leo's request, but she also showed her ability first and encouraged her to make requests that she couldn't fulfill.

"Don't worry about this, I know it well."

At this time, Mina had no intention of making her own baked goods anymore. She reached out and turned off the oven and began to clean up the flour and stains on herself.

As she took off her cooking apron, she turned around and looked at Tandy and Tyrone, who had been following Leo. She asked with some confusion, "What? These two children are also coming with us." Do you want to go together? They are also related to what you want to investigate? "

"Oh, that's right. I forgot to introduce you to them. Their names are Tyrone and Tandy. Both of them were victims of the accident eight years ago." Leo pointed to Tyrone and Tandy and introduced them to Mina. road.

"You probably don't know Tyrone, but you should have an impression of Tandy. Her father is Nathan Bowen, and she and your father, Mr. Hess, should be close colleagues."

Hearing what Leo said, Mina looked at Tandy in surprise, and slowly a look of surprise appeared on her face, "Ohod! It's really Tandy! Do you remember me? I once went to you with my father. I’m a guest at home!”

Tandy, who had known Mina's identity for a long time, had red eyes when he mentioned his father. "I remember you, Sister Hess. But my father has..."

"I know, I know, good boy..." Mina threw aside the apron in her hand, walked to Tandy and gently touched her shoulder.

Leo has determined that the source of this incident is the two children. There is nothing else to do now, so naturally there is nothing to worry about. On the contrary, Tandy knew that now was not the time to reminisce about the past. Compared with these things, she was more eager to clear her father's wrongdoing.

"Sister Hess, please help us. Mr. Leo is finally willing to investigate this accident. I must seize this opportunity to help my father and wash away the grievances that Roxon Company has brought against him. !" Tandy grabbed Mina's hand and said with some pain.

Perhaps it was because both of their fathers were involved in the accident and had the same feelings and pain. Mina did not shirk or delay any more, and went directly back to the room to change into her work clothes, taking Leo and the others with her. Walked out the back door.

Although the area in the forest is large, Mina did not make her backyard particularly large. She only enclosed an area of ​​about dozens of square meters and planted some unusual flowers and plants.

Coming out from the back, there is a forest road built at an unknown time, passing by Mina's house and winding into the depths of the woods.

As Leo walked beside Mina, he looked at her work clothes, a thick one-piece waterproof jacket, and a pair of waterproof shoes. At this time, Mina didn't look like an energy engineer at all, but more like someone who was ready to fish in the water.

"Ah, don't worry, we can keep walking along this road to where I work. I'm just used to wearing these clothes, and I often walk through the swamp over there." Mina teased herself Loose hair, explained.

"Oh, why is this? Even if you can save some distance by crossing that swamp, it's not as convenient as driving along this road to your place of work, right?" Idleness is also idle, Li Oh, I also started talking to Mina with great interest.

Mina smiled, "I'm not doing it for convenience. The major I studied in the past was not the energy field now, but the bioengineering department. There were many special creatures and endangered species in the swamp that day, so I always like to go there. Let’s go take a look.”

While the two were chatting, they walked a few hundred meters away. On the way, they actually saw a half-built amusement park. Not only did it have regular amusement facilities such as a Ferris wheel, but there was also a nearly fully-built one. , a roller coaster track hidden in the woods.

After walking a few dozen meters, Leo actually saw something similar to a Chinese archway, so he asked, "It's really interesting. Was there a small town before here? Why didn't I see other houses?"

"Are you talking about these things? They were left over from the past." Mina laughed dumbly and explained to Leo, "No one lived here before. In this primitive forest, people occasionally came here to hunt and fish. But everyone lives on the edge of the forest.

Later, Roxon Company came to this place for energy exploration, and my father and I became the first residents here. He personally designed our current residence. "

"Is there also the energy source that Roxon is looking for? Then why was the drilling platform finally built on the Mississippi River?"

"I don't know this either. I was still young at that time. I only know that my father led people to explore here for several weeks. At the beginning, the company was planning to invest in building a small town here specifically to accommodate people who work in the company. employees and their families.

Later, for unknown reasons, the company finally gave up on this plan and instead of mining here, built the mining platform on the Mississippi River in the city. Then the construction of the town here also stopped, leaving only this half-finished amusement park and our house. "

"Then you are really a brave girl. When your father had an accident, you were probably about the same age as they are now, right? You actually dare to live here alone. You seem to be living quite comfortably." Leo said sincerely She sighed, as a young girl living alone in such a populated place, I am afraid not many people would have such courage.

Mina smiled and shook her hand, "It's not as bad as you think. Although there are not many people here, there is no need to worry about bad guys. Although the night here is very quiet, you can always hear those sweet sounds."

"That's true. Although New Orleans has its problems, its natural beauty is not inferior to any other city."

Mina looked at Leo with some surprise. Very few people from a big city like New York would have such positive comments about New Orleans.

"You are really a unique person, Mr. Leo. It is a pleasure to talk to you..." Mina was talking when Tandy, who was following behind them, suddenly shouted.

"What's wrong?" Leo and Mina hurriedly turned around and looked back. Although they had been talking to Mina, Leo never relaxed his senses, but he did not feel any danger.

"There is a bee lying on Tandy's shoulder. Don't move and I will kill it for you." Tyrone said, reaching out to swat the dead bee.

"Don't move!" Mina hurriedly stopped Tyrone's behavior and walked carefully to Tandy.

Tandy still doesn't look as aggressive as before. Girls have a natural fear of such small insects, which makes her freeze there and dare not move. She anxiously whispers, "Get it out of me!"

"Don't worry, my girl." Mina leaned over and said, "Hi, cute little bee."

She looked tenderly at the little bee lying on Tandy's shoulder, and blew gently. The bee seemed to sense something, flapped its wings, flew up from Tandy's shoulder, and disappeared in the blink of an eye. .

"Okay," Mina watched the bees fly away, then turned back to Leo and the others and said, "These are King Arthur bees, a group of cute elves. You can't treat them so roughly."

"When your cute elf was lying on my shoulder, I didn't dare to move!" Tandy said angrily.

"As long as you don't anger them, they won't hurt you. King Arthur bees are American giant hornets, and they used to be seen here often, especially in the swamps, with one every three meters.

They were flying on every beautiful Phalaenopsis, but one day they suddenly disappeared..." Mina said with some frustration.

"Why is this happening? A race will never perish for no reason." At the age of seventeen or eighteen, when curiosity is strong, Tandy and Tyrone have long forgotten the previous episode and are in high spirits. asked.

"No one knows why, but I have a theory. I call this natural phenomenon colony collapse disorder, where the worker bees in the hive suddenly disappear, leaving only the queen.

I think it may be due to the heavy use of pesticides in the surrounding farms, and pesticides can interfere with the navigation memory of bees. When they go out to forage for honey, they are splashed by these chemicals and cannot find their way back to the hive. Road can easily lead to the demise of a bee colony. "

"It sounds like a man-made disaster, but people like you still exist. I hope this species can persist." Little girl Tandi was a little sentimental.

"I think they can persevere," Mina said firmly, "You know? Such an event has happened before. There was a sealed mass extinction 65 million years ago, just like it is now. That’s what happened. Then the asteroid that wiped out the dinosaurs hit the Earth, but guess what?”

"The bees are back?"

"Yes, they appear again. They are like New Orleans in the insect world!" Mina said with a smile.

Her metaphor caught Leo's attention, "Why do you say that?"

"Bees have survived. This is a race that survives from desperate situations. New Orleans is also a city that survives from desperate situations. Its disasters are always one after another, but New Orleans can always be reborn, whether it is a cruel war or a No ruthless natural disaster can completely defeat it.

I love it as much as I love these bees. This is a very cozy place, isn't it? Speaking of which, there’s something very special underground, too. "Seemingly feeling the goodwill from Leo and the others, Mina no longer kept secret.

"What? The new energy source discovered by Roxon Company?" Leo asked.

"Don't worry, am I about to take you to see it?"

"Wait, are you saying that your current job is to help Roxon Company mine these new energy sources? After the inner accident, Roxon Company did not end this project?" Originally, Leo just wanted to take the opportunity to check out the mysterious Zhuxon Company. What exactly is the company doing now? Unexpectedly, by chance, Mina is engaged in the same job as his father.

Sure enough, this company is not as simple as they appear. In Greg's investigation, it can only be found that this company regards the mining of new energy projects as a cash cow to make money. I am afraid that even the local government is like this. thought.

Who would have thought that this company would actually continue with this project.

"Of course. Although the accident eight years ago was cruel, it was just that the technology at the time was not up to standard. An accident cannot stop the development of science, just like we can't give up walking after falling." Mina said seriously Said, this showed her side as an energy expert.

"Let's go, I really want you to see my valve now." Although they have only been in contact for a short period of time, Mina has now regarded Leo and the others who were chatting very congenially as her friends and can't wait to see them. Show them your work, it's just there, it's not hidden, it's not secret.
