Ryan stood there in a daze until the stretcher was taken away, and the surprise on his face did not diminish in the slightest. From the perspective of probability or biology, this was impossible, but it happened.
"You see, life is so gorgeous and tenacious. Do you feel that all your fatigue disappears all of a sudden?"
Ryan turned his head and saw Alicia next to him. She was still covered in dust and looked disheveled, but with her bright smile, she looked as innocent as a flower.
"Do you know anyone alive?"
"I don't know, but that's why we'll be so surprised when we find survivors." Alicia stretched comfortably, patted Ryan on the shoulder, and said in a mature manner: "Young man, you still have a lot to learn, let's continue."
Ryan turned around and glanced at the back. She walked briskly, sometimes looking here, sometimes shouting into the ruins, like a butterfly dancing among flowers.
The evening sun shone on her, making her look a little dishevelled, yet more sacred.
Ryan saw the search and rescue soldiers rushing everywhere again. They were no longer slacking off like before and were working much more seriously.
Seeing it with his own eyes, Ryan understood one more thing.
The reason why the other twelve heroes loved her was not only because of her beautiful appearance, sincerity and enthusiasm, but also not because of her unique tone of voice.
Alicia never just talks, she practices her love for humanity with actions. She is a true hero.
Ryan put his right hand on his chest and silently recited the love gate.
Chapter 65: Abuse of Power for Personal Benefits, Mobius
As the sun and moon alternated, car lights shone far on the dim road. Ryan glanced to the side while driving.
Alicia, covered in dust, was stretching lazily, covering her mouth and yawning twice.
"I'm really exhausted today. Thanks to your help, otherwise I wouldn't be able to finish the central area tonight."
"But we only rescued one person." Ryan shook his head and continued to look at the road.
"A miracle is a miracle because it is difficult to replicate. But saving one person today is already good enough."
"But what if there's no one?"
Alicia did not hesitate and clenched her fist: "Then let's leave the regret for next time and wait for the surprise with full expectation. Well, then the surprise will always come, I always believe it!"
You are so optimistic and contagious. No wonder all those eccentric heroes agree with you.
Ryan smiled silently and asked casually, "Where to go now?"
"How's Refugee Camp No. 3?"
"I'm not going to help again, I want to go back and take a shower."
"I will be very restrained in everything I do. I'll keep you in suspense for now. You'll know when you get there."
Looking at Alicia with an expectant look on her face, Ryan said nothing. He just turned the steering wheel and drove into the left fork, and he also agreed with the word "moderation" she mentioned.
Alicia is indeed very restrained. She is passionate but not excessively so, kind-hearted but not to the point of being a saint. Even when she makes a joke, she avoids causing disgust in others. She has found the right balance very well.
Except for the food, of course.
As he was staring at the road, Ryan felt his shoulders sink again. He turned his head slightly and found that Alicia had fallen asleep.
She leaned her whole body on his shoulder, her rosy little mouth slightly opened, making a slight breathing sound, and looking down, he could see her delicate collarbone and deep cleavage.
The bulging chest pushed open the long skirt, and the two white legs were folded together, with the black leg rings being particularly eye-catching.
Just sleep when you say sleep.
Ryan took a look instinctively, his eyes full of helplessness and admiration. Although there was a bit of ambiguity in the car, he didn't take it for granted.
It is too shallow to view Alicia with human desires. She doesn't care what other people think, nor does she care about misunderstandings. She just sticks to her true self and does what she wants to do.
Although you are full of love, this love is not focused on one person. If your mind is full of peaches, then you are undoubtedly dreaming.
It's very easy to make friends with her, but it's as difficult as hell to conquer her.
Ryan didn't think about conquering anyone. He was neither a seafood merchant with abalone on his mind, nor a loser who was at a loss when encountering a beautiful girl. He simply slowed down the car, took out his coat from the back seat and put it on Alicia.
Then he continued to move forward, gently slowing down the car. The melodious music on the radio, accompanied by the darkness outside the car, made Ryan close his eyes comfortably.
This silence is very good.
......
"Where did Ryan go?"
Inside the medical ship, Mebius was crossing his legs, propping up his head, and playing with his long green hair with his fingers.
This operating room has been occupied by her. The freshest corpse of the Honkai beast is floating in the glass container. She found a reason that could deceive herself and stay in Canghai.
As for the core area of the Third Honkai, the Honkai beasts here are a little different in some details and are worth observing. Moreover, the request for research on the Third Herrscher was rejected, but the body tissue of Moshazhi was sent over.
"Doctor, this is the seventeenth time you've asked this question." Klein looked up from the electron microscope with dark circles under his eyes. He said helplessly, "If you miss Dr. Ryan so much, you should have notified him to come over as soon as possible."
"Why would I miss him? He just agreed to work for me, but he ran away without even saying hello. He's so dishonest." Mobius stood up decisively, walked to Klein's side, and casually modified a few numbers for her. "Here, here, and here are all wrong. Do ten more comparison experiments and I'll guide you."
Klein glanced at the doctor's expression and didn't know what to say. He thought that Dr. Ryan was really pitiful. He had become a dishonest person so quickly.
"I can do these experiments, or you can go to see Dr. Ryan."
"Klein, don't look at me with such worldly eyes. Do you really think he is that important?" Mobius dropped his pen and shook his index finger left and right. "I admit that he is useful, but he is not worth mentioning for science, especially since he is suspicious and annoying."
She thought of Hua's matter. She had planned to ask this girl with high adaptability to Honkai energy to help, but Ryan refused to do it, so she lost the interest in visiting the patient.
Klein immediately showed an educated expression, thinking that he was worthy of being a doctor, and he clearly separated his life and work.
Just then, the phone on the desk dinged, and Klein unlocked it instinctively.
"Klein, I hope you can concentrate more on your research..."
"The Security Department has found Dr. Ryan's whereabouts."
Mebius froze in his tracks when he saw Klein's apologetic look. He coughed again and said, "Then read the report to me."
"But research..."
"It is more important to obey the instructor's orders. Just read when I tell you to."
Klein was an honest man and did not take the opportunity to mock him, nor did he notice the inconsistency in Mebius's words.
"Dr. Ryan was discharged from the hospital this afternoon. He drove to Canghai for an unknown purpose."
"Hmph, what a waste of time. Does he want to empathize with others?" Mobius snorted softly, and waved his pen casually. "Then what? Should he go and have a friendly chat with the victims?"
"That's not the case. Dr. Ryan went to find Miss Alicia, and then searched and rescued in the core area with her. I heard that they rescued a survivor. It's a miracle."
Ai Lishia? That woman... No, she is not a normal person at all, there is absolutely no chance.
Mebius misunderstood for a moment, then shook her head to deny it. She was not a fool and had long seen through the essence of Alicia's character. She loved everything passionately, but she controlled the degree very well. Even what kind of "love" this was required careful study by several philosophy professors.
But she didn't know whether Ryan would have any ideas. After all, the appearance of Alicia was very deceptive. Except for being a little fat, her appearance was impeccable.
Ryan doesn't think he really has a chance, haha, if so, I can laugh at him for a hundred years.
She wanted to laugh and recalled the strange stories inside the Fire Moth. There were many people pursuing Alicia, no matter they were conceited young men or frontline soldiers whose lives were saved, each of them was sincerely given the nice guy card.
The most terrifying thing is that all those who received the Good Guy Card accepted it calmly. None of them turned love into hate, or forced it, which made Mebius think that she had some kind of mind control ability.
"And then, that guy won't take Alicia on a date, right? Hehe, I'm really looking forward to seeing him receive the nice guy card. That must be very interesting."
“No, the two of them went to the third camp together, probably to have a midnight snack.” Klein added in the calmest tone.
Mebius' smile froze, and obvious confusion emerged on her face. Her reason told her that this was simply impossible, but for some reason, her mind uncontrollably threw out many guesses.
"PhD?"
"Ahem, Klein, it's so late, you must be hungry." Mebius came back to his senses.
"I actually just had instant noodles..."
"No, you must be hungry." Mebius turned around and walked a few steps as if he didn't hear anything, then put on his white coat. "Come on, I'll treat you to a midnight snack. After all, you've been working hard these days."
Klein wanted to refuse, but when he saw the friendly smile on Mebius's face, he swallowed his saliva.
"I, I'll go drive."
Mebius glanced at his assistant who left in a hurry, confused about his own reaction. After thinking it over, he put the blame on Ryan again.
Okay, I'll be here waiting for you to be discharged from the hospital every day. But you went to find Alicia the first thing after you were discharged and even had a midnight snack.
"Is it really... impossible? And even if it's true, what does it have to do with me?"
Mebius paced back and forth, as if he was stuck in a difficult subject.
"If it doesn't work, I have to increase the dosage???"
Chapter 66 Ryan, it's mine!
There were tents everywhere. Several generator trucks were laid with thick cables, and privately connected electric lights illuminated the entire camp.
Because of Ryan, many people escaped from Canghai, and now it has become a mess, enough to make any insurance company bankrupt.
However, when he drove there, he was slightly amazed by the scene before him.
It was late at night, but the camp was still bustling. A market had actually formed on the main road. Families exchanged the things they had brought with them when they fled, and then processed and sold the distributed food, as if this could recoup some of their losses.
"Huh? We're here already?" Alicia rubbed her eyes and her eyes lit up when she saw the market outside: "It's really lively. I've wanted to come and take a look for a long time."
"Shouldn't you see helplessness? Never mind. You always see something different." Ryan was too lazy to complain and shrugged lightly: "But it's still quite strange. After the hustle and bustle, there is destruction, and after the destruction, there is hustle and bustle again."
"Isn't that what people are like? As long as they are not dead, they must live tenaciously and brilliantly. This attitude is also very beautiful." Alicia was still smiling and returned her clothes to Ryan. "And I didn't realize that you are also very gentle and know how to please girls."
Ryan didn't know how to answer, so he just smiled awkwardly, threw his clothes into the back seat, pushed the door, got out of the car, and headed towards the camp.
He looked at the stalls on both sides with interest. The faces of the victims didn't look very good, but they weren't desperate either.
Now is the weirdest time. The world order and financial system still exist, the victims are still a minority, and it is far from the point where everyone is playing PUBG, so theoretically there is still a chance to return to the previous life.
The Honkai disease did not spread. The third Honkai was more like a major earthquake. Many people died, but the rest had to live.
They found a roadside stall and sat down. On the iron stand next to them, the word "noodles" was written crookedly on A4 paper, and water was boiling in an iron pot.
"Two bowls of mixed noodles. It's my treat this time." Ryan shouted casually, and smiled at Alicia who was holding up her head. "It seems that the supplies are very complete, even the seasonings are available. But a bowl of noodles costs 20 yuan. I thought it was on Huaizhong Road."
"We haven't reached the stage of bartering yet. We have to make money. It's a pity that they have lost their houses. The housing prices in Canghai are still quite expensive."
"At least I don't have to pay back the loan, and I can feel relaxed from now on." Ryan told a black joke, and his originally restless heart calmed down.
Just as Alicia said, life goes on as usual. Even in Su City, 200 kilometers away, one cannot feel this atmosphere of desolation.
