Why it never ends

Chapter 382 The Resistance
Meyer took the gun and carefully reinserted it into the holster.

"I asked you out today, I hoped that Agnes would come out and meet you," Meyer said softly, "but I couldn't convince her, so I didn't call you again..."

"What do you want us to meet for?"

"To clear up some... misunderstandings," Meyer whispered, "We were kind at the beginning, and you are also kind today. Kindness meets kindness, and swords should not be at war...so I want you to meet."

"Actually, I'm quite curious. Since you are followers of Rob Griller, why did you take the initiative to inform Slater—she, Rob, and those thorny monks are not going to deal with it."

"A believer?" Meyer was taken aback. "Ah, please...don't say that about us. It sounds like some strange cult."

"...Then what should I call you?"

"Survivalists," Meyer said softly, "we are survivalists, and our team led by Mr. Robeau Griller is part of the 'Doomsday Resistance Organization'."

"...Doomsday?" Hesta repeated the word in a low voice.

"Sooner or later, the blackout era will repeat itself, and the end will definitely reappear. Everything we do now is to preserve the fire of civilization," Meyer looked at Hesta, and when she was talking about this topic, her gaze suddenly Become calm and firm, "We don't believe in Mr. Robeau Grillet personally. Although he is a worthy pioneer, we will point out when he makes mistakes-for example, Iger pointed out last night. M. Robeau-Grillet's misinterpretation of 'chelates'."

"Hmm..." Hesta thought thoughtfully, "You haven't answered my original question yet."

Meyer showed a embarrassed expression, her hands were wrapped behind her back, and her index fingers were tightly hooked together.

"Is it hard to answer?" Hesta asked.

"It's a little hard to speak, because it's not just about me... I haven't asked Iger if I can say it."

"Then just say what you think?"

"Sometimes... we hate the Briar Monks and the group of people, they are a bunch of hypocrites, but they have really fooled a lot of people..."

Meyer's face turned red again, and at the same time as she said this, she realized that she was chewing someone's tongue behind her back, which suddenly aroused her shame.

"Plus, Mr. Robeau Griller probably hasn't really faced chelation before, and he doesn't understand what it means...I think it would be better for everyone if Officer Su Lei could know more," Meyer paused for a moment, "We should cooperate instead of falling apart before we figure out who our opponent is..."

Hesta stared seriously at Meyer's eyes, and from those dark green eyes, she read a stronger will than Agnes's.

Before parting, Meyer suddenly remembered something. She leaned over and whispered in Hesta's ear, "By the way, don't go out tonight."

"……why?"

"I don't know, but Iger told me so."

"okay, thank you."

Watching Meyer go away, Rico looked back at Hesta, "...I thought Agnes was the more troublesome one."

Hesta frowned slightly - she and Rico had exactly the same feelings.

"A fierce reaction like that from Agnes at least means that the opponent is worth arguing..."—and Meyer talks about these topics as if he said "the sun will rise" as a matter of course.

"But I understand when she said they are 'survivalists'." Lico pushed Hesta back, "There are quite a lot of such people in District [-], and I have dealt with some of them."

"What are they like?"

"Most of them firmly believe that the mother city will collapse one day." Li Ke lightly shrugged, "After all the technical support relying on the mother city is completely interrupted, the society will collapse again, thus entering a 'second blackout', and their goal Just be prepared in advance, stockpile food and guns... Engineers and doctors are especially popular among these people."

"No wonder, I said where did Robo-Grillet suddenly come up with so many weapons, so that's what he did," Hesta understood, "I underestimated him, I thought he just wanted to build a fortress for himself Be king."

"The [-]th district is relatively chaotic, so there are quite a lot of such teams. Basically, every three to five villages have an armed force that pursues 'survivalism'. They usually help the villagers do some work to maintain law and order, such as patrolling, building some Fortifications... The villagers provide them with some material support and share information. When bandits come to loot, these survivalist teams will go into battle, and by the way, conduct self-training in actual combat. Several teams are particularly capable of playing.”

In the distance, a few thorn monks were smoking in the lee of the deck. They also changed into a uniform jumper. At this moment, the two of them were bending their necks to borrow fire, and their rifles were loosely carried behind their backs, like a decorative satchel.

Hesta withdrew his gaze, "... I don't think there are many people on this ship who have that kind of ability."

"Coincidentally," Li Ke said with a smile, "I think so too."

……

"Zero, what time is it?"

"Six and five."

Anna took off the blindfold, "...I slept for too long this afternoon, why didn't you wake me up earlier."

"You talked too much this morning," Ling looked at Anna, "you should rest more."

Anna leaned on the recliner for a while, resting her forehead, and began to look around.

"Are you looking for Myshkin? He went out this afternoon."

The corners of Anna's mouth sank slightly, "Don't let it go for a stroll outside tonight, little cat, you don't understand anything..."

"Then I'm going to bring it back now."

"Okay," Anna nodded, "Did it see anything interesting this afternoon?"

Zero sat there quietly, his eyes lost focus for a moment.

"Gobelin had a conversation with two people in the afternoon, and they both lasted more than half an hour."

Anna turned her head and looked over, "Which two people?"

"Sanders Rand and Agnes Dinonhiade."

"Sanders..." Anna thought back, the name was slightly familiar, but it seemed not so familiar after thinking about it, "I seem to have heard it somewhere?"

"He is a subordinate of Avinash."

Anna immediately recalled—on the day of boarding the ship, a crew member was questioned by Hesta about his identity, and that person's name was exactly that.

"Where is that Agnes... and who is it?"

"A girl who has been receiving education from Robo-Grille. She just got the general mechanic qualification certificate at the beginning of this year, and then responded to Robo-Grille's trip to the [-]th district." Zero was silent for a moment, " I bumped into her sister Meyer that night when I went back to the suite to get the blankets."

Anna listened casually, "Ordinary mechanics... the passing rate of this exam is quite low, isn't it?"

"The pass rate this year is 6 percent."
