Arknights? Colonization Ark!

Shi Huaiya lowered her head and leaned close to Chen Huijie's ear, and asked quietly:

"Hey, Changfenlong, those two must be Yelena and Zhang Miao mentioned in Tallulah's letter, right? They don't look like bad people. Why are we following them so secretly? Shouldn't Tallulah's friends also be our friends?"

Chen did not reply, but gave the photo he had taken from Wei Yanwu's desk that afternoon to Shi Huaiya.

She looked at the body and the cause of death analysis in the photo in shock, and couldn't help but sigh

"Wow, they killed so many people right after entering the city. These are no longer ordinary terrorists. We must strike hard!"

Of course, this is just talk. They have no evidence and no arrest warrant. If they really arrest him, it will only make the matter worse. Maybe Tallulah will come to pick him up in person.

Moreover, it is common for gangs to rob each other. As long as it does not affect civilians or make too much trouble, people will generally pretend not to see it. If those bad guys are dead, maybe the security in Longmen will be better.

"Sir, please use it slowly."

"Okay, thank you."

Shi Huaiya picked up a hot skewer and put it into her mouth while talking to the waiter.

Xingxiong came back and looked at the skewers on the table and asked in surprise:

"What? Why didn't you tell me earlier that you ordered skewers? I thought you were stingy, Huijie."

Her question made Chen Huijie and Shi Huaiya look at each other in bewilderment.

“Isn’t this what you ordered?”

Xingxiong was also confused

"I just ordered, how can the food be served so quickly?"

The three people realized something and focused their attention on one place.

Seeing Zhang Miao waving at the three of them not far away

"Cough cough cough."

Shi Huaiya almost coughed out the skewers she had just eaten because of this scene

"Is there any mistake?"

They thought they had found a perfect hiding place, but it turned out that the food had already been ordered for them.

Chen Huijie didn't mind at all and stood up and walked to the two of them.

Wearing sunglasses and a baseball cap, she looks quite heroic and has a strong aura.

"You two, nice to see you again. I had a lot of questions to ask you during the day, but I didn't expect you to leave so quickly."

"You are Tallulah's sister. Just ask whatever you want to ask. I will definitely tell you everything I can answer."

Chen received a positive answer, which made her heart beat fast. The other party had been taken away by Kosice for more than ten years and there was no news from him. After her mother's death, the person she was most concerned about was her sister.

As for Wei Yanwu, the amount of words he said outside of work in a month might not even be counted on one hand.

"Is she... doing well over there?"

“She’s doing what she wants to do now.”

Unlike Yelena who always stayed by his side, he didn't have any requirements for Yelena and let her do whatever she wanted. But it was different for Tallulah. He would let her do many things later and he would just sit back and do research.

Just like this time, she was busy with something.

"Why doesn't she go back to Longmen?"

"Um...has her father's funeral been held?"

“…”

If Tallulah really returned to Longmen, the happiest person would probably not be Wei Yanwu and her, but Kosice.

"She is in that city now. You can go there anytime if you want. I believe Tallulah will be very happy to reunite with her sister after such a long time."

Yelena also interrupted and said

"Yes, Tallulah has told her more than once that she had a very cute sister when she was a child."

Chen Huijie listened to the two people's answers silently. She wanted to ask more questions, but she couldn't open her mouth. It was not that she had nothing to say, but that she wanted to ask too many questions. She didn't know where to start. All the little things buried in her heart, things that she thought she had forgotten long ago, now came to her mind again.

Is it joy or sadness?

Mixed feelings.

Thousands of words come to my lips, but only two words remain.

"Thank you."

Zhang Miao smiled slightly and said nothing.

Wei Yanwu

If I can't get the words out myself, I'll ask Chen Huijie to do it...

Shi Huaiya and Xingxiong also ran over quickly. They kept asking questions about Tallulah. Most of the questions were answered by Yelena. After all, she had spent more time with Tallulah and knew more.

Xingxiong sat nearby, listening to them chatting and eating skewers.

until late at night.

Chapter 32: Not the Penguins of Madagascar

next day

There was a huge crowd of people under the Martin Industries building, including people who came to watch the fun, white-collar workers who wanted to go in to work, and police officers from the Security Bureau who set up cordons to block the crowd. The main gate was blocked so tightly that no one could get in or out.

A white-collar worker, sweating profusely, ran hard into the crowd and tried desperately to squeeze in.

"Hey, what are you all doing here? Make way. I still have to go to work. If I don't go in and clock in, I'll be late for work!"

The penalty of 150 for each absence was enough to pay for his meals for two days. Besides, this was his first job after graduation, which many people would envy. He would be in trouble if the department manager found out.

The citizens standing by sneered at his eagerness to fight for the company boss.

"You're still absent from work. Your boss is dead. Don't you know that?"

The boss is dead?

He didn't even meet his boss, and the other party died?

"Dude, that joke has gone too far."

"You must be kidding. What do you think all these people are doing here? Buying arms? You idiot!"

After being despised by the other party, the white-collar worker stood where he was and tried to stand on tiptoe, only to find that the inside had been completely blocked by the Guard Bureau.

No, seriously?

……

Zhang Miao was sitting in a breakfast shop not far from the building, eating steaming dumplings. The news was playing non-stop on the TV hanging on the edge of the ceiling.

The diners were also discussing this big news. After all, being a spectator does not require any ticket fee.

The footage on the TV station was soon forcibly stopped and replaced with gossip that the public loved to see.

It can be seen that Wei Yanwu is suppressing the heat of this incident. If he can suppress it and let it fade out of the public eye until the Martin Industries headquarters arranges for someone to take over, the matter will basically be over.

But

The tragedy of Terra is that communication is difficult. Even the large number of signal towers in the city need to strengthen the signal in order to cover the urban area.

In the wild, because source stone dust absorbs electromagnetic waves and shields signals, natural disasters are frequent, and signal network maintenance is difficult, messages basically have to be transmitted by running, and communication basically has to be done by mouth. It is impossible to go back and forth to Columbia without a month or so.

However, Longmen is the economic center of Terra after all. Originally, the company should have had many capable senior executives to maintain its operation. However, before what happened last night was clarified, few dared to come to the company to take control of the situation.

What if I make the same mistake again when I sit on it?

Hundreds of fully armed combatants downstairs were all killed in less than an hour. Who wouldn't be panicked?

The company's stock price even hit the limit down, and investors screamed in pain.

Just when everyone thought the matter was over, the next day, all major news newspapers received a submission.

A few photos and a recording.

The source was a bold and daring employee of the company, who found it in the office at the time.

The owner of the recording is undoubtedly the former person in charge.

"No, no, ... you ... are from the company ..."

It was a meaningless and noisy conversation, but the emotions of panic, helplessness and despair were vividly expressed in less than ten seconds.

The photo shows the person in charge who committed suicide by hanging, and there is also a transfer agreement.

No explanation, large areas of blank space.

These things always inspire everyone's rich imagination. For a while, various versions were flying around, and rumors continued to spread and change in the streets and on the Internet. By the time Wei Yanwu reacted, it was too late, and he couldn't stop the gossip.

On that day, not only Martin Industries, but also a number of military industry stocks hit the limit down, with a large area of ​​stocks turning red, and several investors fainted on the spot.

But Zhang Miao didn't care about these things. Someone was handling the relevant affairs, and the person he was waiting for finally came back.

……

If you want to talk about where in the city is noisy all night, there is definitely only one name - bar

【The End of the Earth】

However, this bar is not like other places with smoky and dazzling lights. It has bright lights and a quiet atmosphere. Melodious music comes from the record player, and the guests are talking in low voices. Anyone with a little common sense would not cause trouble here.

A black car stopped at the door of the bar and quickly attracted everyone's attention.

Before the car door was opened, the distinctive, shrill voice penetrated the window from the passenger seat and entered the ears of everyone in the bar.

"This year's Seastar Obsidian Festival was rubbish! Those guys have no idea what classic rock is (unexplainable penguin screams) and their taste is fucking terrible!"

In full view of the crowd, a king penguin wearing a big gold chain and strange clothes jumped out of the car. With a height of less than one meter and pitifully short webbed feet, it walked unsteadily, which was as funny as it could be.

After a brief silence, the guests went back to chatting about their own things, pretending they didn't see the penguin, and no one dared to laugh.

"Hurry up and put on the vinyl record I got with great difficulty! This damn noise is polluting my ears. Who picked the record? Their taste is as bad as those guys from Xiosta."

The bartender on the side seemed to be accustomed to his boss's temper. He just slowly changed the vinyl record brought by the driver. The tune was completely different from the previous style, and the passionate music rhythm made the atmosphere of the bar a little more lively.

The penguin walked slowly to the bar, burst out with a jumping ability that was inconsistent with his body, sat down on the high chair, and glanced at the man in the hat next to him.

I always feel like there's something wrong with this guy.

But it doesn’t matter, the emperor never cares about these things.

"Hurry up and give me some wine. I'm dying of thirst."

The bartender skillfully took a bottle of wine from the counter and poured it into the glass in front of the emperor. He couldn't wait to pick up the glass with one flipper and put it to his mouth to take a sip.

"It tastes like honey and orange, and it's sweet and mellow, with a hint of fruit and oak, and a faint smell of stinky feet. Those guys in Victoria are still stomping on the music with their feet, it's so disgusting."

Although he expressed disgust, he still poured the rest of the wine into his mouth all at once.

Just as he was about to jump off his seat, he heard the man in the seat next to him speak

"Since when can an animal enter a bar and drink?"

Instantly, the entire bar fell silent. Everyone looked at the person who had spoken, and secretly wondered which fool dared to say this.

Even the emperor turned his head to take a look. The brim of his hat covered most of his face, but he was sure that he had never seen this person before.

"Boy, are you new here?"

The man slowly turned the empty wine glass on the table

"Technically, yes, I've only been at Longmen for less than a week."

His words seemed to hit the penguin's funny spot, and its beak opened up and down, revealing the barbs inside that were enough to give people nightmares.

"Hahahaha (penguin screams) What an interesting guy."

"Well, now, get out of here and don't let me see you again."
