Tomorrow's Ark, the Battle of the Sick

Chapter 74

It was usually ten o'clock in the evening when Shuangxing returned to the apartment.

She often works overtime late, not so much because she loves work, but because she doesn't know what to do after returning to the apartment.

But she will eventually go back to her apartment near the commercial street, wash and rest, and then go to work the next day. Whenever there are weekends and holidays, Frost Star will buy a lot of ingredients and put them in the refrigerator, and then sleep in the apartment all day sky.

Even so, Froststar has maintained her figure very well. In the years since leaving the integration movement, the girl who used to have a low temperature and a thin figure is now quite tall and plump.

Using the key to open the door, Shuang Xing hesitated, then pushed the door open.

There was no reassuring figure from yesterday inside.

Shuangxing stood at the door for a while, and then walked into the room, missing him after only a day apart, this feeling made Shuangxing not used to it.

Turn on the lights, turn on the TV, pour a glass of water from the water dispenser and finish drinking, Shuang Xing sat on the sofa, quietly soothing the exhaustion from today's work.

The room was quiet, save for the sound of TV commercials and the flickering light of the screen.

Holding the remote control in his hand, Frost Star casually switched channels.

"According to the latest news, there are signs of a breakdown in the northern negotiations in Victoria. Although the relevant departments have denied this rumor, according to reliable sources, there is a phenomenon of mobilization of the Northern Defense Force."

Change channel.

"Safe, fast, and comfortable! Rhode Island Logistics, your bulk commodity transportation expert!"

"Welcome to this issue of Finance and Economics. Today's topic is 'Victoria's current economic and royal crisis'. Next, we invite our special guests—"

Change channel.

"Recently, the large-scale investment of the Shuaia Group in various places is inseparable from the support of Rhodes Island. There are rumors that the Rhodes Island Committee has become an important shareholder of the Szehuaia Group. What do you think about this?"

When hearing 'Rhode Island', Frost Star hesitated, and finally put the remote control on the table.

The hosts and guests on TV began to talk about Rhode Island.

"That's right. The investment and business model of the Shuaiya Group has multiple dimensions. As an established commercial company, its investment logic cannot be easily influenced by others, even Rhode Island. But in terms of equity structure, Rhode Island The committee does hold some shares in Swire Group."

"Is this strong evidence that they intend to annex other chaebols?"

"I don't agree with this point of view, because Rhodes Island actually has a lot of investment in the commercial field, such as investing in Shuaia Group, acquiring and reorganizing Rhine Life Laboratories from Rhine Life Company, Raytheon Industries, and Black Steel International. Shares, these actions fully demonstrate their ambition to spread the world and their strong financial strength, but if they are going to annex the above companies, this statement is not convincing, because Rhode Island does not need to do this degree."

"As a pharmaceutical company, Rhodes Island also has huge businesses in other fields, especially the military department. It is said that the armed forces directly and indirectly control more than 20 people. Is there any basis for this statement?"

"This statement is unrealistic, because apart from small-scale conflicts, such as the previous wars in Syracuse and Kazdel, peace is the main theme of the world today, and the demand for military employment and security is much lower than during the Great War. According to According to institutional data, Blacksteel's business growth last year was less than 3%, which was a sharp drop compared to the business growth during the World War II. Under the market downturn, if Rhode Island maintains 20 combat troops, it will generate huge financial losses. So that claim is unrealistic."

"I see, but I believe that many viewers are as curious as I am. For example, the specific number of armed forces invested by Rhodes Island during the war, will it be the source of the rumored 20 people?"

"Rhode Island has never disclosed relevant data on this point, but according to the results released by various agencies after the war, there may have been more than 20 people, but it is impossible for Rhode Island to maintain such a large military department today."

When talking about this point, the guest appeared a little stiff and denied it, and then led the topic to other places.

"And the third question, about the integration movement—"

drop--

At this point, Frost Star finally turned off the TV with the remote control, and the room returned to silence.

Standing up from the sofa, Frost Star picked up a change of clothes and walked into the bathroom.

The sound of pattering water came from the bathroom, and through the frosted glass, the figure of Frost Star could be vaguely seen. After taking a shower, Frost Star stepped into the hot tub to enjoy the rare warm experience in winter.

Now Frost Star no longer has to worry about the hot water becoming cold or even freezing when taking a bath. Just like many ordinary girls, the not-so-high body temperature gradually warms up under the moisture of hot water.

"Drip-"

The communicator next to the bathtub received a text message, Frost star reached out to open the communicator, it was a message from a junior.

[Thinking about it after returning home, I seem to have asked Sister Shuangyue a very excessive question today, I am very sorry!I hope sister Shuangyue doesn't take it to heart, so good night! ]

Frost star stroked the dripping snow-white hair, looked at it for a while, then closed the communicator and put it aside.

Going back and forth between the company and the apartment, occasionally giving pointers to the younger girl, and sometimes looking at the core area of ​​Rhodes Island’s infrastructure in the distance from the window-now the place I look at has become the newly established General Staff Headquarters, this kind of solitary life is frosty. It has been several years since Xing, I thought I would get used to it.

Until the doctor met her before the night of Valentine's Day and gave her a white rose and a piece of sugar, Froststar's peaceful heart finally had waves again.

The Doctor never forgot her, and she never forgot the Doctor.

Although the two are in the same city, they will not meet if it is not necessary. As the only "Rhode Island operator" who has not experienced the whole war and only exists in the secret files of Rhode Island, Frost Star almost witnessed Rhode Island grew from a mobile company to a mobile city.

Frost Star knows the real purpose of the doctor, through the war to smash the old order, rebuild the order, let those homeless girls find their home, smash the shackles of death on them, and finally set up the general staff Get together and live an ordinary but precious life.

It is also a starting point in life that many people cannot reach.

Frost star began to yearn for this kind of life and began to waver.

In the bedroom, the carnival on the bed has just ended.

The doctor hugged the tired Laplande in his arms, and gently stroked her soft long bright silver hair and ears.

"Take a break, Doctor."

The King of Propulsion sat up from the bed, his handsome figure was covered with a layer of silver light under the moonlight, and handed the water glass on the bedside table to the doctor.

"It seems that Laplande is not very skilled, and is more sensitive than expected."
