【Zhoufumei】Ore disease

W crouched by the French window, holding a can of coffee in his arms.The Kingslayer came with an empty paper cup and squatted beside her: "Give me half."

W tightly circled the life-extending water in his arms: "Don't even think about it, this is the last bottle."

Kingslayer sighed: "Okay. I don't know when the vending machine will be replenished."

"Don't think about it, the logistics are completely shut down, supplies are lacking everywhere, and the gangsters want food and no money."

Kingslayer threw the paper cup into the trash can, and looked out the window with W: "How long have they gathered here?"

Opposite the research institute is the Ursas Center for Disease Control and Prevention, where the Rhode Island research laboratory is located.Angry crowds gathered on the lawn across the road. They held protest signs and kept throwing all kinds of dangerous objects into the door.

W took a sip of coffee: "Three days after Rhode Island issued a statement. Until now."

"What are these people doing?"

"Demand CDC to be responsible for the consequences of concealing the epidemic."

The Kingslayer opened his mouth, then closed it again: "...Is the gully in their brains flat?"

W sneered: "Anyone with brains won't be cross-infected here."

Tallulah passed by the corridor and knocked on the open door: "Come to the meeting."

After a night of hard fighting, the entire research institute was in a state of desperation and embarrassment. The leader of the tyrant could not see the slightest sign of weakness, but he had a cigarette between his left fingers for a long time.

The two looked at each other and stood up together.

The coffee is gone, and they still have an uphill battle to fight.

Faust drove the police car and rushed to the next mission location at full speed.A black column of smoke rose in the distance, accompanied by the sound of smashing and smashing that could not be ignored. The police officer scratched the task list, but did not see the relevant instructions.

After Rhode Island kicked the truth out, the government finally declared the existence of the virus solemnly and stated that it would take "follow-up measures."But the tourists who participated in the "Requiem Night" have returned to the whole country and even the world. Panic swept across Terra in an instant, bureaucrats and dignitaries fled one after another, and the social system was almost shut down.

Politicians, capital, the sick, survivors.A disease turned the world of Terra into a big stage, on which people with evil intentions performed all kinds of human nature.

The traffic lights are long gone, and the roads are littered with solid waste.The police car shuttled through the roadblocks, and when passing an intersection, Faust saw a wriggling and struggling person on the side of the garbage mountain on the sidewalk.

The patient was dying, and the concrete floor was covered with his vomited blood.Faust hesitated for a moment, but still called the hospital and reported the location of the patient to the operator.

But when he put away his phone and drove the car forward, an explosion pierced the window and came from behind him.

Faust paused and closed his eyes.

The Pianer policeman in charge of the docking waited anxiously.Before Faust stopped the car, the little policeman hurried up to meet him and opened the car door for him: "How did you get here... only you?"

Faust just came back from the border reinforcements, he took off his police cap, rubbed his temples: "Sorry, the police force is too insufficient, many people are trying to break through the highway barriers, the border guards are in chaos... what happened to your face? "

A piece of gauze was attached to the bridge of the policeman's nose, which looked a little funny: "I was scratched by the mob. They thought the pharmacy and the police were in the same group."

Faust shook his head, and followed the policemen to the scene of the crime: "Has the body of the deceased been disposed of?"

"It was dealt with early. Fortunately, the sick will disappear by themselves, and there is no need to queue up at the crematorium."

Faust smiled wryly.

He was dealing with a robbery-murder case.The murderer didn't buy the medicine he wanted, thinking that the pharmacy wanted to hoard the goods, so he killed the pharmacy employee stationed in the warehouse with a kitchen knife.

"You know what the worst thing is. No one paid attention to the man who fell, and the moment the warehouse door opened, people rushed in and emptied all the medicines in it... However, the clerk insisted on staying The reason for the pharmacy is to save more people.”

Faust didn't answer any more.Having performed all the duties of a detective, he turned and saluted where the dead man had fallen.

The walkie-talkie rang, and it was the contact person at the next mission location.Faust pulled his mask and drove the car to the next battlefield.

"Shuanghuanglian can cure ore disease? Can you believe such rumors?!"

Mephisto took a bite of the energy bar, and pointed at the hooded man on the sofa with the bar: "Why is he here?"

The Doctor sat in the lobby of the Integrative Movement, throwing tantrums with his mobile phone. W rolled his eyes: "That guy is suspended."

Mephisto nodded: "Sure enough."

Frost Star added the cause and effect: "It's not because of the statement, it's because he said to those officials in front of everyone, 'Is your brain gap flat'."

The Kingslayer choked on the water and coughed several times. W hastily took several steps away: "Coughing is also one of the symptoms, stay away from me."

The doctor didn't seem to calm down: "Those people asked us to develop a special medicine immediately, and then put the special medicine into the clouds, and the falling raindrops can cure the disease-do they think this is "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them"?!"

Mephisto sneered: "But you don't have Kelsey's background."

The doctor returned to the sofa and huddled himself into a ball: "Yes, I have no background, no special medicine, and no frost star."

Tallulah came with an empty cigarette case, grabbed the man by the back of the neck, and led him and the empty cigarette case to the trash can in the distance.

Mephisto consciously blocked the man's screams: "The real-time report of the illness and the figures from the media simply do not match up."

Kingslayer shook his head: "What do you think is the chaos outside. At this time, let the media tell the truth, the whole of Ursus will be finished."

Broken Bone raised his chin to the opposite side of the road: "Aren't you afraid of public opinion?"

Misha said with a smile: "In the face of natural disasters, public opinion is nothing. Colombia immediately closed all ports and blocked the entire country. In the early days, public opinion accused the authorities of being cruel. Who dares to speak out now?"

Frost Star passed by Mephisto's desk with the documents in his arms, and stopped in his tracks: "Hello, how is your guy?"

Xiao Baimao gave her a sharp look: "Don't ask other people's husbands casually."

"...Faust and I came out of the same orphanage. It's just a matter of concern, you don't want to say it."

Mephisto snorted, but unconsciously looked at the phone beside him.

A small toy crossbow hangs from the corner of the phone.He bought it on the commercial street on Requiem Day, and Faust also has one on his cell phone.

It has been a long time since the festival, but the disasters brought by the festival have intensified.Mephisto fiddled with the small crossbow twice, picked up the phone, and opened the chat window with Faust.

Faust parked the car at the back door, and Mephisto immediately got into the co-pilot: "Thank you."

The police officer took off his mask so that Mephisto could kiss the corner of his mouth: "No. There are demonstrators here, and I don't feel comfortable letting you take the shuttle bus to and from get off work."

"It's okay, we put Braille on the side of the bus."

"What word?"

Mephisto pointed to the side.Faust saw a white minibus with a large banner hanging on the side: there are people infected with ore disease inside.

Faust couldn't hold back, the corners of his lips curled up a little: "Who came up with the idea?"

"Of course it is me."

Faust nodded: "It's amazing."

Mephistopheles dragged his cheeks and looked at his side face, the silver ring was shining brightly: "You finally smiled."

Faust froze for a moment.

"……what?"

Mephisto looked at him intently for a while.Faust wanted to look at him sideways, but Mephistopheles straightened his head:

"Don't look at me, drive seriously."

Faust opened the refrigerator and checked the food inventory: "When did you buy so many energy bars again?"

Mephisto paused: "...Two days ago."

The police officer felt that something was wrong, so he quickly changed the subject: "Go wash up and get some rest earlier."

Normally, Mephisto would always answer him a few words, but today's Xiao Baimao is very obedient.When the bathroom door was closed, Faust sighed and looked at the task list on the phone.

He also hadn't been home for several days.

Mephisto's obedience lasted until bedtime.Faust wrapped his arms around his shoulders, deciding that he should break the silence:

"Do you have something to say to me?"

Mephisto moved, burying his face in the socket of his shoulder.

"Do you remember how we got married?"

"Of course I remember. You encountered a medical trouble, and I just received this task."

"Yes. But I'm innocent, I'm just having a meeting in the hospital."

Faust recalled: "Well, because of wearing a white coat, the doctor took him as a doctor there."

"Yeah, that man charged at me with a knife... Then my Sasha fell from the sky and pinned the prisoner to the ground with the knife, like a superhero in a movie."

Faust smiled: "The one who fell from the sky is Superman, but your Sasha is not."

"You are. Sasha is my hero."

Mephisto sat up, looking straight into Faust's eyes.

"But you can't be everyone's hero. My Sasha is too kind. If you don't want to see anyone hurt, you must hurt yourself."

Faust understood what he meant: "Ino..."

Mephisto didn't allow him to finish.

"Don't go to the front line, Sasha. There are plenty of idiots who have been brainwashed by the government to do their best. You can do without you."

"I……"

"Faust!! There are many police officers, I only have you!!"

He hugged his lover.Mephisto's roar stopped, and the researcher sat quietly on the bed, motionless.

"I know. I know all about it, Ino."

Mephisto's shoulders were shaking.Faust thought, they have been close to each other for so long, nearly 20 years, even if he didn't say a word, Ino would know his answer.

And his answer will not change.

But his lover's reaction was much bigger than he imagined.Mephisto pushed him away abruptly, and walked quickly to the door. Faust quickly followed and blocked the door that was about to close: "What are you doing?"

Mephisto snapped his fingers desperately: "Let go!"

Faust held the crack of the door with one hand, and at the same time reached out to fish him: "Stop making trouble...you don't want to lock me in there, do you?"

"Otherwise! Let you go out to die!"

The strength of the researcher is naturally inferior to that of the police officer. Faust was afraid of hurting him, so he could only control the strength of pushing the door: "Yino, you have been in the laboratory all this time, there are many things you have not experienced, you..."

Mephisto seemed to have been touched.He opened the door at once and dragged Faust out, but he went back to the room and dropped the lock of the door.

Faust was stunned outside the door for a long time, but he still knocked on the door: "Yi..."

Mephisto's voice came through the door: "It's not up to you idealists to teach me!"

The police officer was stunned: "No...well, you, cover the quilt when you sleep..."

The door opened, and Mephisto threw a quilt over his head and face.Faust caught it in a hurry, and a small object was thrown in front of him again. The police officer had no time to catch it. The silver ring slid down the quilt and fell to the ground with a crisp and clear sound.

Mephisto closed the door again.He buried himself in the sheets and pulled the covers over his head.

Faust seemed to sit down outside the bedroom door, and there was the rustling sound of the quilt rubbing against the door.Mephisto wrapped himself up in a ball, but was still cold.

He slept very restlessly, dreamed a lot at night, and liked to kick the quilt around.Since the two were still ignorant, he liked to crawl beside Sasha and pester him to tell him bedtime stories.

At that time, Sasha was not his lover yet, but he knew how to wrap Ino into his arms and give him a good night's sleep.

Mephisto tossed and turned for a long time, just about to listen to the movement outside the door, but Faust's phone rang again in the living room.

The criminal police had another mission, but it was less than two hours before he returned home.

Mephisto opened his eyes wide and looked at the dimly lit door.The light was dim, Faust seemed to be changing clothes, and stood in front of the door for a while, but he still didn't raise his hand to knock on the door.

The living room door was closed.The researcher covered his face and whimpered softly.

When Mephisto returned to the research room, the air froze for a moment.

Broken Bone looked at Misha, Misha looked at Kingslayer, Kingslayer looked at W, W desperately winked at Frost Star.

Frost Star didn't receive W's signal at all: "Where's your ring?"

The air froze again.Before Mephisto answered, Tallulah poked her head in: "Everyone has a meeting."

Everyone quickly packed up the materials at hand and rushed into the meeting room.Patriot shook his head and patted Frost Star's head.

Columbia's "Rhine Life" laboratory issued a statement this morning that they used bat cells to cultivate cells that can survive virus attacks, and vaccine development has seen the dawn.

Mephisto wasn't excited at all.When Shuangxing poked his head out, he was almost fainted by the smell of smoke: "Why do you smoke too?"

Mephisto looked at the cigarette butt in his hand: "You control me."

Seven days after the demonstrators gathered, the police finally arrived on the scene.They dropped tear gas bombs on the crowd, and the mob was broken into an army. People didn't even have time to hold the banners, so they had to flee the scene.

Mephisto held his cigarette in his mouth, quietly watching everything across the road.Frost Star opened the vent of the smoking room and walked to his side: "Back then, when Tallulah recruited you in, Dad objected."

Mephisto didn't want to hear it: "I don't have time to play Memories."

Frost Star stood beside him, ignoring his indifference: "Father said, you are a genius, because your exploration of the unknown is too pure, not pure like a human being."

"so what?"

"It means that you have no reverence for life, Mephistopheles. However, when you are around Faust, you will revert to your 'human' appearance."

Mephisto was too lazy to play charades with her.He poked the cigarette butt into the ashtray: "Are you done?"

The farce outside the window dissipated, Shuangxing watched for a while, then lowered his eyes.

"Life has weight. Life is very heavy, but it is very light. A disaster, a few grains of dust, can easily take it away.

"Since my father picked me up from the orphanage, I took my 'Yeti Squad' with me to travel all over the world. I thought we would never be separated, but during an inspection in an epidemic area, Nina's protective clothing was torn... A living person just left my side.

"Life is too fragile, Mephistopheles. But because of its fragility, they will shine in ways you can't imagine."

Mephisto still smiled coldly: "So?"

"So, don't underestimate anyone who wants to live hard. And..."

Frost star paused.

"Make up with Faust. I'm his half-senior, this is my...please."

Faust closed his eyes and meditated in the car.Beside him was a community policeman. The policeman was not qualified to carry a gun, but at this time he also received a gun temporarily.He happily turned the gun over and over again, and weighed it again: "Wow, that's so cool."

The armed policeman sitting opposite him shook his head: "It's not for you to pull the trigger. It can only be used to scare the crowd. We can't shoot at innocent people."

The policeman was still very excited: "Are they innocent people? Are the thugs who tried to rob the hospital really innocent?"

The police officer next to them also joined their chat: "Indeed. Medical personnel are so precious, without one, how many people will be indirectly killed."

"Really. Don't they know such a simple truth?"

The patrolman laughed contemptuously: "If I knew, there would be no medical troubles in this world."

Faust suddenly opened his eyes.

"They're not doctors. Murderers don't need another nickname."

The sharpshooter's voice was so severe that the police were all silent.The armed policeman froze for a moment, and hurriedly brought up another topic:

"I never thought that I would come to escort the hospital transport vehicle."

The patrolman scratched his head: "I never thought that I would work with criminal police and armed police."

"The police force is too short. Don't say you still carry the word police, even if you are a zombie, as long as you can move, you must take a gun on it."

The police car arrived at the gate of the hospital first.The patrolman leaned on the glass, his eyes widened: "...what is this?"

The armed police looked at the densely packed crowd, and couldn't help shivering:

"Like a zombie siege."

Faust pulled on his mask, opened the door and got out of the car.
