born criminal
Chapter 54
D3 chased Chen Jian and left, Yangzhou was the only one left in the huge laboratory.A few days ago, he groped all the way here along the secret door of the study and found evidence of the existence of B75. Now he destroyed B75 here again. I don't know if it was a coincidence or a destined reincarnation.
He stood in a daze for a while, wiped off the icicles on his eyebrows, rubbed the tip of his nose that was red from the cold, and walked back along the original road.When he passed the dirty floor, he stopped, knelt down, picked up the pieces of the porcelain bowl, and threw them into the trash can.
Simon was still in the hall at the fork, suffering from asthma, breathing hard, his eyes rolled white, his face flushed purple, fumbling around for an inhaler, and intermittently yelling at Andrew, who was trying to help, to get the hell out.
When Yang Zhou arrived, Simon's condition was already bad.Fortunately, Andrew found the inhaler that Simon rolled into the corner of the wall when he was fighting with him in time. He handed it to Yangzhou, and Yangzhou trotted to deliver it to Simon.
Simon took a few mouthfuls of the medicine, the symptoms gradually eased, and his breathing became heavy and long again.
He rested for a while, put down the inhaler, half-opened his cloudy eyes, and stared fixedly at Yangzhou. "You destroyed it?" Simon asked.
Yang Zhou didn't speak. Simon stared at him for a few seconds. At a certain moment, his gaze suddenly became sharp and bright, like lightning, but soon dimmed, and was covered by brown dust again.He let out a "huh", shook his head and sighed, "Chen Jian said yesterday that he would move it to another place, worried that Fang Xing would find it, but unexpectedly, you were one step ahead."
Yang Zhou knew how lucky he was.There are a large number of identical boxes in the warehouse, all locked, and documents from the Vladimir era are piled up in disorder. The key to the safe was matched in such a short period of time, mostly due to luck.
"I have to do it, it's dangerous," Yangzhou said.
Simon snorted coldly and didn't answer.
An irresistible impulse surged from the bottom of Yangzhou's heart, they were driven by grievances, and they were eagerly looking for a breakthrough.As if to make up for the annoyance of not being able to explain the whole story in front of Chen Jian, he said eagerly and vaguely: "B75 can turn ordinary people into natural criminals, and the infection process will also bring unpredictable deaths and injuries. This dangerous thing , if it falls into the hands of extreme people—such as Fang Xing, how many disasters it will bring to the world. Not only for ordinary people, but also for you, the government will definitely punish severely, and the living conditions of born criminals will only be worse in the future... "
Yangzhou stopped and took a few quick breaths.He had an illusion that every word, no matter how hard and serious he spoke, was always light and fluffy, crumpled like cotton candy, and couldn't hold water at all.
It shouldn't be like this, everything he did was clearly justified, why would he feel guilty?
Is it because he used despicable means to distract Chen Jian to find B75, or is it because he subconsciously didn't believe that Chen Jian could control himself at all, and was afraid that one day he would open the sealing plug of B75 and become a sinner despised by everyone?Maybe both.
"It doesn't matter if the living conditions are good or bad," Simon looked at Yangzhou sarcastically, "No matter how well the treatment is for prisoners, they are still prisoners. Mr. Yang, you are not born to be a criminal, you can't understand their feelings—especially People who were once free and then locked up here - like me."
"But you don't understand me either! Dr. Simon." Yang Zhou interrupted almost rudely. He was like a cat whose tail was stepped on, with a sullen look on his face, but he still maintained a good rest, only raised his head slightly. He raised his voice, "You don't understand, I hate all violence that violates the basic rules."
Simon didn't take it seriously, he just thought it was Yangzhou's irrational words made out of embarrassment.But when he looked at Yangzhou, he felt a trace of unspeakable sadness, which made him lose the desire to quarrel.
Simon sighed silently, "So, how do you tell Chen Jian? B75 is his hope, he is not like you, he does not believe in rules, he only believes in the power in his hands."
How strange, 20 years ago, Chen Jian lived and died, was chased and killed, and lost his father. In another place, Yangzhou was helpless in the face of atrocities and lost Daniel.They experienced similar injustice and bullying, only to choose diametrically opposed paths years later.Or, seemingly different, but in fact the same goal by different routes.
Yangzhou's Adam's apple rolled, and he tasted a bitter taste.He hesitated for a long time, so long that Simon's eyes were slack, as if he had entered another time and space, and he asked in a low voice, "Then will he forgive me?"
"What?" Simon came back to his senses, carefully put the inhaler into his jacket pocket, and pondered for a while, "Who knows, maybe he will understand."
But understanding is not the same as forgiveness. Reason and emotion have never been the same thing.
"What about you?" Yangzhou didn't want to think about it anymore, and asked Simon, "I ruined your hard work, do you hate me?"
"Me?" There was a wry smile on the corner of Simon's mouth, and all the loose wrinkles on his face changed shape at the same time, "It's nothing. I've experienced too many setbacks, and I'm used to it. And—you know, as long as you give me enough With time and materials, I can re-develop the B75. However, what we lack most now is time."
"If the investigation team takes away Chen Jian and that silly boy Fang Xing, and helps a group of people to be puppets again, my experiment will not be funded, and it will soon be impossible. So you can rest assured that it will be difficult in the world to do it again." There is a B75."
"Chen Jian will be fine." Yang Zhou said deceivingly.He suddenly remembered that Simon was still doing another experiment, and a little expectation arose in his heart, "Where are the inhibitors?"
"That," Simon yawned, "I'm hopeless."
The hall was so quiet that you could hear a needle drop.After a while, Simon was very tired, with one hand on his forehead, his eyes closed, and he was drowsy.Yangzhou asked him if he wanted to go home and rest, he shook his head and said wearily, let's go.
Yang Zhou and Andrew had just walked a few steps when Simon suddenly spoke again. He still kept his stooped posture, murmuring in a low voice motionless, "I really want to leave this ghost place. I want to see Linda again. It's been 30 years, she Must be old too. God, I keep forgetting that she's not my Linda anymore."
They waited for a while, and seeing that Simon stopped talking, they left quietly.The underground labyrinth is very complicated, and the two were trapped in it for a long time.Yangzhou passed by many empty rooms, which were quietly dormant in the dark, waiting to be used one day—that was Chen Jian’s original ambition and ambition, but they could only be hidden underground without seeing the light of day.
Yangzhou and Andrew finally found an unfamiliar exit, came out of the secret passage, and a layer of dirt fell on their shoulders.
It was a huge and empty room, several thick concrete pillars rose from the ground, and the ground was full of dust and rubbish.
"It's an abandoned warehouse." Andrew looked around. "This is the North District. Our original guess was right."
Yang Zhou didn't speak, but nodded absent-mindedly.
They left the warehouse and walked through a deserted residential area. Yellow weeds grew up to people's knees, and when the wind blew, they fell down together, revealing a few rats fleeing in panic.
On the main road, Andrew called a driverless taxi, got in and asked Yangzhou, "Where are you going now?"
Yangzhou, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke rustlingly, "Let's go to the city center first."
When the vehicle drove to the main road close to the central area, a large number of residents suddenly poured out on both sides. They came from all directions from the west, like ants in full swing, all anxious, some walked, some got into the car, the street instantly become crowded.
"What's going on?" Yang Zhou frowned.
Andrew searched the Internet for a while, and soon found a piece of news, which said: "Two or ten minutes ago, S&H, the world's largest department store, announced that it would stop supplying goods to Base One, and several other companies also made the same statement. This It should be snapping up."
These business giants are also key forces in political contests.Bernard's testimony had already caused widespread panic, but they wanted to make things worse. The ultimate goal was still to extract more benefits from Base One.
"Does the coalition government not care?" Yang Zhou asked.
"A condemnation order has been issued." Andrew read out the content of the announcement, and the innocence of words and tone was clearly connivance.This is not a good sign, indicating that there is no consensus within the UN.
"Is that Anna?" Yangzhou suddenly saw a familiar figure moving through the traffic jam.He lowered the glass and called out, "Anna!"
"Mr. Yang!" Anna turned around before seeing him, trotted over, and greeted him in surprise, "Long time no see! What's wrong with your face, are you injured?"
Yang Zhou avoided answering, and asked her, "Why didn't you come to Chen Jian's house after the next year?"
Anna let out an "ah" and explained with a smile: "Irene's father fell ill during the Chinese New Year, and I have been taking care of him."
"Healed?"
Anna nodded, the expression of relief was fleeting, and immediately turned into a sad expression, "But Irene is sick again, God, I really don't let me take a breath. When she came home earlier, her eyes were swollen from crying, and she had a severe fever .I'm going to buy medicine for her now, and I'll grab it all later. Mr. Yang, have you read the news, they are really disgusting."
Yangzhou felt guilty.Eileen was ill, partly because of him.He comforted Anna a few words, and promised to visit Irene when he was free.
"Okay," Anna said with a smile, although she was worried, but optimistic by nature, "You haven't seen her yet, we Irene are a great beauty!"
After the two chatted for a while, Anna bid farewell to Yang Zhou and hurriedly joined the rushing army.
"Go to Eric," Yang Zhou raised the window and said to Andrew, "I'll talk to him."
"What about Chen Jian?" Andrew asked, "Going back to his house tonight?"
Yangzhou was taken aback for a moment, his empty gaze fell on the dusty tree, and he said after a while, "Let's stay in a hotel, he probably doesn't want to see me."
Andrew nodded in agreement, and reminded him to avoid the members of the investigation team when choosing a place to live, especially those from the White Pigeon Sect, because "Mr. Jeffrey sent us here on a secret mission, so we cannot be bumped into by them."
Jeffrey was thinking about his own political future. If his superiors and opponents knew that he had obtained the information on B75 but kept silent and sent someone to investigate without permission, he would definitely be punished.
It's a pity that Yangzhou doesn't care about his future, he only cares about who is in the investigation team.
"Mr. Jeffrey tried his best." Andrew said, "Among the investigators sent in the end, there were three rose factions, four white dove factions, and three neutral factions."
Yangzhou wanted to ask the specific identity of the personnel, but suddenly there was a commotion in front of him, the noisy crowd suddenly became silent, people pushed each other and retreated to one side, vehicles also shunted to the two sides, making way forcibly in the blocked streets. Make a way.
Many residents crowded beside their taxis, all shrinking their necks, looking at the group of people with fear and hatred.
Yangzhou opened the window, and the dull and regular "dongdong" sound echoed in the silent street, hitting everyone's nerves hard.
Following the eyes of the nearby residents, he saw a group of soldiers with live ammunition, escorting a dozen or so people walking in the middle. They were men and women, all wearing UNPO uniforms.The group of people was calm and calm, but aggressive. Looking at the direction they were going, they were going to the government office area.
"The investigation team has arrived early." Andrew shouted in surprise.
Yang Zhou squinted his eyes, and glanced at the ten investigators one by one, only to see that the leading policeman was tall and burly, with his chin raised arrogantly, and his defiant demeanor was somewhat familiar.
"That's—" he asked hesitantly, sticking his head out of the car window, trying to take a closer look.
"The leader of the investigation team, Antonio Statham, Mr. Yang, you should know him."
Yang Zhou clenched his fist violently, the protruding finger bones almost pierced the thin skin.He showed obvious irritability, and his breathing suddenly became heavier, "It's him?"
He stood in a daze for a while, wiped off the icicles on his eyebrows, rubbed the tip of his nose that was red from the cold, and walked back along the original road.When he passed the dirty floor, he stopped, knelt down, picked up the pieces of the porcelain bowl, and threw them into the trash can.
Simon was still in the hall at the fork, suffering from asthma, breathing hard, his eyes rolled white, his face flushed purple, fumbling around for an inhaler, and intermittently yelling at Andrew, who was trying to help, to get the hell out.

Simon took a few mouthfuls of the medicine, the symptoms gradually eased, and his breathing became heavy and long again.
He rested for a while, put down the inhaler, half-opened his cloudy eyes, and stared fixedly at Yangzhou. "You destroyed it?" Simon asked.
Yang Zhou didn't speak. Simon stared at him for a few seconds. At a certain moment, his gaze suddenly became sharp and bright, like lightning, but soon dimmed, and was covered by brown dust again.He let out a "huh", shook his head and sighed, "Chen Jian said yesterday that he would move it to another place, worried that Fang Xing would find it, but unexpectedly, you were one step ahead."
