Thrive in Catastrophe

"I just didn't stand firm. Even if I jumped into the sea, I couldn't swim to land."

Xiao Yan's voice was completely indifferent.

"There are countless small islands in this sea area, but it takes 10 minutes to take an aircraft to the nearest small island, and we are farther away from the mainland. As for Shire's extra-wall base, you don't even have to think about it."

There was a smile in Jane's voice.

He brought him here, not to give him freedom, but to cut off all back roads.

Xiao Yan struggled to leave Jane's arms, turned around and walked aimlessly.

When Jane mentioned the aircraft, Xiao Yan's heart gradually calmed down.

It is impossible for the island to have no aircraft. If he really wants to escape, he must find out where the island is and make a plan on how to board the aircraft. Even if there is no way to reach Shire, he must know that the nearest base is in which direction.

"It's really easy for you to cheer up."

Xiao Yan paused for a moment, Jane's gaze instantly made him feel that he was seen through.

"Why do you always think about those troublesome things? Treat this place as a vacation. Sunshine, sand, sea breeze, the leisurely life that disappeared hundreds of years ago, returns here."

Jane approached step by step. When his ambiguous aura enveloped Xiao Yan, he couldn't help but took half a step back, and leaned his back against a tall palm tree.

The shadow of the tree shrouded Jane's shoulders and cheeks, quiet and full of mystery.

"Close your eyes, Xiao Yan. This is not filtered air, but the real sea breeze."

The long voice was hypnotic, and Xiao Yan closed his eyes unconsciously.

The moment Jane's lips touched her, the tip of her tongue jumped out of her tightly closed mind and continued to deepen, and the next moment she completely covered her.

The body trembled and all the senses suddenly tightened, the X virus lured Xiao Yan, reason was about to break free from the reins of thought, and some kind of desire ran rampant in the blood.

Xiao Yan held Jane's cheeks in one hand, and grabbed her hard as if he couldn't be satisfied no matter what. He kept getting everything he wanted from Jane's mouth, and Jane's kisses were even more forceful, with constantly changing angles. The skillful suppression of Xiao Yan seems to be to make him remember who is kissing him when he is overwhelmed by the pleasure brought by the X virus.

Xiao Yan's researcher's casual attire was untied by the other party, and Jane withdrew from Xiao Yan's mouth, while Xiao Yan kissed Jane's cheek and neck unsatisfied.

Raising her chin, closing her eyes, Jane smiled impatiently, "You are such a bad boy..."

At that moment, the profile of Heine's profile was engraved in Xiao Yan's mind like a sharp knife, his heart was stabbed, and he started to experience severe pain. Xiao Yan woke up suddenly, and slammed his elbow hard on the other's cheek.

And Jane still easily dodged, but his arm did not let go of Xiao Yan, but embraced him.

Off the ground, Xiao Yan's resistance seemed childish and powerless.

With playful eyes in Jane's eyes, she kept kissing Xiao Yan's cheek and ear pinnae. The more he struggled, the more ambiguous Jane's kisses became.

"Are you resisting now to arouse my interest?" Xiao Yan's voice sounded like mockery. He glared at Jane fiercely, while the other party held the tip of his nose grandly and bit it down, " I've been attracted to you for a long time, so you don't need to do those extra things."

"If you want my brain, take it now! If you want my life, don't waste time!"

At that moment, Jane's eyes were instantly cold, and even the sea breeze blowing over her cheeks filled the pores with a chill.

Xiao Yan's back felt cold.

"You seem to have forgotten what I told you."

In an instant, the day when I put a gun to my chin but was stopped by Jane, Jane crushed the gun in front of Xiao Yan.

Next time you dare to put a gun to your head again, I will let you know what real pain is.

"If you really want to die that much, I'd rather you be killed by me."

The word "dry to death" squeezed out from between Jane's fingers, crushing Xiao Yan's nerves.

This man has always shown an unrestrained and even indifferent attitude to everyone, thus ignoring his cruelty and stinging.

"If you want to see the brain, then I will take you to see it—a brain that is alive but out of the human body!"

Xiao Yan was pulled up abruptly, and staggered to follow behind Jane.

Passing through the bushes, the unsuspecting animals sensed Jane's breath and moved away.

They pass through the glass chamber and into the ground.There is a gloomy passage in front of him, and there is a depressing and unpleasant atmosphere spreading from his nose. The back of Jane walking in front is like a ghost.

Finally, there is a slight light projected.

When Xiao Yan saw countless holographic displays in operation on the wall and surveillance covered by all-round induction, he understood that this was a huge underground base, and its advanced level was no less than that of Shire's master control.

"The processing speed of the main control here is [-] times that of Shire. Only blockers with a brain intervention speed exceeding [-] million trillion speeds can invade here. Of course, it is only 'possible'."

Jane turned her head and gave Xiao Yan a cold look.

All the channel nodes are automatically opened upon sensing Jane's presence, that is to say, if Xiao Yan is the only one, he will not even have a chance to enter.

A vast underground space appeared in front of Xiao Yan.

This is an ocean of data, and reasoning and calculations are being performed all the time.

The boy with a lollipop in his mouth walked over with his arms folded, with an arrogant expression on his face.The moment he saw Xiao Yan, those presumptuous green eyes smiled into crooked slits.

"Xiao Yan! You're awake!"

He opened his arms and was about to embrace Xiao Yan, but Xiao Yan moved half a step aside.

All the trust I had in Casey in the past has become ridiculous now.

Casey was not angry, and glanced at Jane, "Boss, this is my territory, no one is allowed to enter."

"Our guest keeps clamoring for his brain to be donated."

Casey was slightly taken aback, looked at Xiao Yan meaningfully, and pressed his head with an expression of not knowing what to do, "We are not the same as Valentine's lackeys, we take pleasure in taking other people's brains, such Hobbies are too vulgar."

Xiao Yan frowned calmly, who is Valentine?If Jane and Casey were not ashamed to take the researcher's brain, what was the real point of bringing themselves here?

"I don't want you to see these things."

Casey's eyes stayed on Xiao Yan's face, he raised his wrist and snapped three fingers rhythmically.

All holographic data display storage, then suddenly disappeared.

At this moment, Xiao Yan finally had the opportunity to see this underground base clearly.

Hundreds... no, thousands of brains are stored in nutrient vessels, and countless nerve-sensing fibers penetrate them and connect them together.

The gray and white brains are exactly the same as those in Xiao Yan's dream, and each of them can't tell where they belong. They are separated from the main body, controlled by the main control code, and forced to think.

Xiao Yan clenched his fists, suppressing the urge to keep rising in his stomach, but his face was already pale.

A certain nutrition dish in the distance suddenly lit up a red light.

Casey looked in that direction and frowned, "I'm also a researcher, and I really want to stop their torture. But if I really do that, Valentine will probably define me as a traitor."

The brain in that petri dish is dead.

"What do you do with... dead brains?"

"Aha, you are so cute." Jane raised Xiao Yan's chin with her fingers, and leaned forward slightly, "How does Charles deal with dead humans?"

"The remains will be synthesized into thumb-sized crystals for easy family preservation."

"It's very humane. The surge organization is also very humane." Jane blinked, "The dead brain will be made into a nutrient solution to supply other brains that are still functioning. See, even death is the same Significant."

Xiao Yan opened his eyes wide and looked at Jane, "...they are human beings."

"Yes, they are human beings, and we are also human beings. The difference is that the Tide organization thinks itself superior. Honey, do you know why people eat all kinds of animals but rarely eat their own kind?"

"..."

Xiao Yan knew that the answer would not be what he wanted to hear.

"Because humans feel superior to all living things on this planet."

The low temperature made Xiao Yan tremble, and he couldn't even imagine what was left of these brains.

"Are you sure you want to dedicate your brain?"

Jane's fingers gently supported Xiao Yan's cheek, and her thumb slowly stroked Xiao Yan's cheek. His gaze was too deep, as if no matter how he avoided it, he couldn't help being crushed by himself. Xiao Yan's legs seemed to be filled with lead. Generally unable to move.

A warm embrace embraced him, and Kathy's voice unexpectedly calmed the mind in the cold space where the smell of reagents even floated.

"Don't force him anymore." Casey stared at Jane vigorously, blocking Xiao Yan.

"Okay, okay..." Jane shrugged her shoulders and snapped her fingers. All the holographic images started up again, and the data jumped. Between the constantly changing data of Mercedes-Benz, a few small red dots could be faintly seen, and there were The brain was overwhelmed and died.

"Can you still go?" Jane asked with a chuckle.

Such indifference disgusted Xiao Yan.

He waved Jane's hand away, and despite his unsteady center of gravity, he walked towards the passage.

This has nothing to do with being kind or not. He may not even be able to keep his own brain now, so there is no doubt about sympathizing with others.

When Jane came to Xiao Yan's side, the sliding door of the node opened automatically, and slightly warm air poured in.

They walk in what seems to be an endless passage.

Xiao Yan suddenly stopped in his tracks.

"Is your purpose for letting me see all this to scare me?"

"That's right." Jane leaned against the wall leisurely with her arms folded, "Because you seem to be used to putting certain words on your mouth, and I want you to clearly know that such a habit is unpleasant."

"If you're not going to take my brain, what's the reason for taking the trouble to get me out of the Shire?"

Another idea came to Xiao Yan's mind. The brain's shelf life is not long when it is separated from the human body. They didn't open their skulls at the moment. They probably wanted to keep him in captivity and take it out when needed. This is just Ways to avoid wasting resources.

"I want to give you a different perspective. Time will tell."

Xiao Yan originally wanted to ask, what is the relationship between you and the Tide Organization, because Casey's tone revealed that he did not agree with the Tide.But hadn't they infiltrated the Shire as tidal spies?

But Xiao Yan also knew that unless Jane wanted to answer, even if he put the knife on Jane's neck, this guy would only look enigmatic.

When night came, Xiao Yan was lying on the soft and spacious bed, and when he raised his head, he could see the bright sky of the Milky Way through the transparent glass roof.

The space that Charles gives everyone is limited, such as the bed in Xiao Yan's room, if he turns over one more time, it will fall off.But the bed is now almost as big as his old bedroom.

Looking up at the night sky above his head, Xiao Yan deeply felt that the world was far vaster than he imagined.

If there is no Jane lying beside him, he will enjoy everything at this moment even more.

"It's ironic. Those who live in the Shire have never seen such a view in their entire lives. They enjoy everything they have, and lose the ambition to pursue it comfortably."

Jane turned sideways slowly, staring at Xiao Yan's side face.

"I have no ambitions either."

Jane smiled, "If there is no ambition, how can you look at the sky with such longing eyes?"

Xiao Yan closed his eyes and reviewed everything he saw today in his mind.

Even if it is not the base camp of Tide, it is at least a very important base.All bases will be built in areas with relatively calm ocean currents. In order to avoid being detected by Charr, the island must be quite far from the land.There is absolutely no problem in being self-sufficient in a self-contained environment according to the capacity of the influx organization.Tomorrow, I must observe the position of the sun from rising to setting more carefully, and even the constellations in the sky, waves and vegetation, all of which can help him locate the approximate position of this small island on the earth.He also had to figure out where the aircraft on the island was and how the entire island was made.

"What are you thinking?"

"I didn't think of anything."

"lie."

"Well, I was thinking of Colonel Burton."

"He is dead."

The originally soft voice turned cold.

"He's still alive."

Xiao Yan's answer was calm but firm.

The next moment, the man next to him suddenly sat up on Xiao Yan, lowered his eyes, and pressed his hands to Xiao Yan's ears, with such an overwhelming momentum that Xiao Yan even had time to move.

"I spoil you too much."

Suddenly, the other party kissed her so fiercely that it crushed him.

Xiao Yan put his palm against the opponent's shoulder and tried to turn over, but it was not worth mentioning in front of Jane's strength.

Grabbing Jane's hair suddenly, Xiao Yan struggled like the end of the world, and Jane finally rudely terminated the kiss.

"Kill me... or take my brain... either..."

"asshole!"

Jane stood up abruptly, put her fingers into the back of Xiao Yan's head, pulled his hair, and kissed him frantically.

The wound behind him healed quickly, Jane let go of Xiao Yan, and let him fall back.

"Next time, if you ask me to kill you again, I will send someone to Shire to kill everyone you know, including your colleagues in the research institute, your contemporaries, the liaison officer who talked to you, and even the special forces. , Take out their brains and send them to you!"

Jian Juemei's facial features were instantly ferocious and distorted.

Xiao Yan's breathing and heartbeat gradually escaped the control of the X virus, and he regained his composure.

He knew that Jane Wallis wasn't just threatening him, but would actually do it.

At this time, Shire, Lieutenant General Ewell was observing the blood sample.Major General Gordon next to him looked very cramped.

"Hey, what's going on? Don't tell me that Heine will lie in the isolator forever!"

At this moment, the fingers of the man who had been lying in the isolator trembled slightly, and the moment he opened his eyes, they were so sharp that they wanted to pierce the entire space, and he sat up suddenly after taking a deep breath.

Various indicators soared, but suddenly fell back at the critical point.

All the medical staff rushed in.

"Colonel Burton!"

The moment they opened the isolator, Heine slammed everyone away, clicked on the holographic button, and his combat uniform slowly rose.

"Colonel Burton! We still need to check your body!"

After pulling off the combat uniform, he put it on neatly, and no one could stop him.

In the blood test room, Lieutenant General Ewell left the terminal and grabbed Major General Gordon.

"He succeeded!"

"Who? What worked?"

"Second Lieutenant Xiao Yan succeeded! The X-2 in Colonel Burton's body has completely integrated with his body, not only building a new immune defense line, but also replacing the original X virus as an energy supplier!"

At this moment, medical soldiers rushed in.

"Your Excellency! Colonel Burton is awake! He is leaving here!"

The two generals froze for a moment, but it was Major General Gordon who reacted first, turned on the communicator, and gave the order.

"Winn! Ling Xiao! Colonel Burton is awake! You must stop him!"

And Wen En opened his mouth wide, until the man exuding bloodthirsty murderous intent almost walked in front of him, Wen En replied, "Is this really Colonel Burton...?"

The golden-brown hair was tied back meticulously, and the incomparably deep pupils glowed with a cold light, and a sense of suffocation spread.

When Heine walked past Wen En and Ling Xiao, it was Ling Xiao who reacted first.

"Colonel Burton! Don't you want to know what happened after you passed out?"

Heine Burton paused, "Where is Major General Gordon?"

Wen En, who was stunned, let out a breath.

"The major general is waiting for you in his office. He has called up the video for you at that time."

At this time, Major General Gordon clasped his fingers nervously. Lieutenant General Ewell told him that Heine's physical fitness is at its peak now, and his brain will be sharper than before.

The Central Academy of Sciences must know all the research details of X-2, but the developer of this virus has been hijacked. The only person who knows the whole research is Heine Burton, because he has been stationed at the outer edge of Xiao Yan's thinking. His origin is not the armed forces, but the Central Academy of Sciences.

Major General Gordon already felt that Xiao Yan had a special meaning to Hein. He clearly knew that Hein would not stay in Shire, unless he found Xiao Yan, this man would not stop in his footsteps.

The door of the office was roughly pulled open, and slammed into the wall, leaving a shallow dent in the high-density nano-wall.

Don't underestimate this dent, no one else in Special Task Force can do it.

Although Major General Gordon at the desk had a calm expression, he couldn't help looking at the slightly deformed sliding door.

"Looks like you're tougher than ever. I should take the X-2 too."

"Surveillance video." Heine didn't have the slightest intention to greet the other party.

Major General Gordon's expression became serious, and with a light tap of his finger, the holographic image slowly spread.

What appeared on the screen was the image of Xiao Yan desperately leaning against the wall, with the muzzle of a gun pressed against his chin.

He raised his neck, his closed eyelashes did not tremble in the slightest, and his lips pursed into resolute lines, making no one doubt his determination at that moment.

Major General Gordon glanced at Heine, "You should really take care of your gun."

The next moment, there was only a "bang—" gunshot. Even though it was not the first time he saw this clip, Major General Gordon still had the illusion of a split heart.

Heine stared at the screen without trembling in the slightest.

Major General Gordon showed a disappointed expression, "Oh, I thought you would at least look a little frightened after seeing this scene."

On the screen, Jane Wallis tightly clasped Xiao Yan's finger and grabbed the gun.

When he picked up Xiao Yan and left, he deliberately looked at the monitor and pulled out his usual unrestrained smile.

The lip-shape said: Goodbye, Ciel.

"Jane Wallis is the real mastermind."

When they reported this information to the military, the entire upper echelon was shaken.Later reports on Jane Wallis and Casey pointed out that their identity records seemed to be exhaustive, but after more in-depth investigation, some traces of intrusion and modification were finally found in the file system.

Both of them came from outside the Shire.

"Yeah, he has been in the special task force for four years, and he has made great achievements in battle. According to common sense, the more deviant the person is, the less likely he is an undercover agent. On the contrary, a guy like you who hides deep but is convincing is more likely to be an undercover agent." picture……"

"Where was he taken?"

Heine replayed the video again with a gloomy expression, and the final picture was always fixed on Jane Wallis's smile.

Major General Gordon felt the killing intent in the air, and the hairs all over his body stood up unconsciously.

If there is anyone in the world who can hunt down Jane Wallis, maybe only Heine Burton.

"we do not know."

"He has a microchip in his body."

"His chip signal has completely disappeared. So there are currently three possibilities. First, the microchip in his body has been damaged, because the tide can also predict that we will use the chip to locate; second, he is dead, The microchip will automatically fail if you don’t feel any vital signs. The last is the most optimistic and of course the least possible guess. He is imprisoned in a place where the signal is shielded. The high-level military has given instructions. He must be brought back at any price, even if only his brain is left."

"His brain will not be removed."
