On the morning of the third day, we departed from the residential area on time and went to the Virus Research Association clubhouse in the center of the city. The aircraft that came to pick us up was the one I took when I went alone last time.I stepped into the aircraft and gave the pilot a little nod, who smiled back and handed me the terminal to enter the address.

After talking with the pilot, I turned around and stepped off the aircraft again, let Niyo go in first, then stood in front of Gerald, looked him in the eyes and said: "We are going out now, you follow us, Remember everything I've said to you these two days, don't be impulsive, don't rush to beat up people who don't like you, you know?"

This is the first time he has left the range of the protective cover since he came here. What is pleasing is that he is as obedient as ever, and he was very calm when he walked out of the garden gate with me and Niyo, as if he was concerned about whether he could get out of the yard. Completely indifferent.

After hearing what I said, he was stunned for a few seconds, and asked in an unclear pronunciation: "...Beat?"

I held my right hand and made a slow fisting movement, "Just don't hurt people, don't hurt others, huh?"

Gerald looked at me, dazedly, and nodded slightly.

I haven't seen any changes in his eyes for a long time, like the mutation in the institute, it hasn't happened since he came here.This at least means that the HLM virus did not continue to destroy his body and did not bring him more pressure, which can be seen from his face.

I explained a few more words to make sure that he understood part of it more or less, so I patted him on the shoulder, stood on the aircraft and bent down to give him a hand, letting him step in together.

The driver greeted us politely, closed the hatch and prepared to leave.I sat down quickly too, put Gerald in the seat closest to me, and buckled him up.

Niyo still sat across from us as last time, clicked his tongue a few times after the aircraft took off, and sighed: "It's the three of us again! It's really hard work."

"I see that you seem to be very happy every time."

"That's true." He shook his hands with a playful smile, then squinted his eyes and looked at Gerrard, "But it's quite surprising to say, it must have been a while since you guys came back? Although it's not too much It’s been a long time, but you were able to bring him out without any defense.”

"He was able to follow me alone last time." I said, "just to ensure safety, but also to reassure those who were involved in this matter at the time. What you said makes sense, no matter how docile he is, he is still a A very threatening existence."

Niyo nodded in sympathy, then adjusted his posture, closed his eyes and said, "Anyway, the clubhouse is not far away. I didn't sleep well last night. Let's take a short rest and remember to call me when we arrive."

I said yes, then turned my head to observe Gerald's expression.He was staring intently at the small glass window on the left, his eyes moved occasionally, probably looking at the buildings and roads on the ground.

From my vantage point I could barely see part of what he saw.Before the aircraft fully ascended, the roofs of the villas in the residential area and the tops of the trees overlapped, and the shadows caused by the sun interspersed and approached each other.The planning and design of the residential area is quite rigorous, so looking at it like this, it is indeed quite pleasing to the eye.

But it also reminded me instantly of the scene I saw when I took the aircraft with Jiali Miweier to the wasteland area.We passed through the wreckage of an abandoned city. Due to the large-scale destruction of unmanaged and vicious virus-infected people, those buildings and roads have been dilapidated, and the walls of the buildings have been almost completely damaged, forming countless huge Hollow, carrying raging winds to shuttle through the city.

Probably because time has not passed too long, if you distinguish carefully, you can still see traces of human beings who once lived.For example, the light sign that was hung on the front door of the building, and some vehicles parked on the side of the road can no longer be seen as round. If you get closer, you can also see food packages that have never been opened, and piled up in every corner. Garbage in there.In a city like that, the only survivors are probably the vicious virus-infected people and some small creatures that still roam the sewers.

The HLM virus more or less affects animals other than humans, changing their appearance and lifespan to a certain extent, but the HLM virus they infect seems to be regardless of the type and cannot be transmitted, so if there are animals If it is infected, the source of infection must be human beings.We have not found out the cause of this phenomenon for several years, and now it seems that it is very likely to be related to C-V27, but our main research target is still human beings after all, so we did not spend too much time on animals.The conclusion that can be drawn now is that the HLM virus will not affect the survival rules of animals in nature to a large extent, nor will it cause such a big impact on humans.

Gerald had been staring out the window all the way, and when we had just entered the center of the city, he suddenly stretched out his finger and put his fingertips against the glass window, as if pointing at something.I came back to my senses, moved my body slightly towards him, and looked in the direction of his finger.

"That's the capital information mobile station, the tallest building in the entire urban area. Although it is very old, it is still in use." I told him softly, "The role of the mobile station is to better accept At the same time, it can effectively observe and command the army and researchers in remote areas. However, some news bulletins are also sent by it, and the signals sent out are quite stable.”

"News...?"

"Signal." I repeated, then patted the top of his head lightly, and said with a smile, "It's still a little difficult for you to understand now, after a while, your thinking ability will recover better, I I will explain to you slowly."

He stopped responding, probably didn't listen carefully to what I was saying, and still focused on the scene below.

The lights and projections in the capital city are almost everywhere. These are probably scenes that he has never seen in his limited memory, so they are enough to arouse his curiosity to a large extent.

If you think about it this way, the area where I live is indeed too peaceful and quiet, and even the neighbors rarely communicate too much.After all, that residential area is located in a remote location on the edge of the city, and there are not many residents, so there will be no bustling streets and commercial facilities, and technological products are limited to household projectors and cleaning robots.Over the past few years, the regions and cultures of each country have suffered varying degrees of damage due to the HLM virus. Only in the central areas of various capitals can we feel the progress and prosperity of human civilization again.

Niyo woke up by himself before getting off the aircraft.He shook his head in a daze to wake himself up a bit, then yawned and adjusted his sitting posture, "Are we here?"

"Hurry up." I told him, "It will take a few minutes to reach the designated landing point, so don't sleep, or you will look awake when you see Mr. President."

"It can't be my fault." Niyo couldn't help but yawned again, his voice sounded very sticky, "I spent a lot of time last night to check the news about the capital during this time, to see if there was any news about The latest information about the attack on the association last time, and browse the latest bulletin by the way... Doing these things is very tiring!"

"If you want to know the follow-up about the last incident, can you just ask Mr. Fisher?"

"You can't say that. Before meeting these old gentlemen, I'm too good to be mentally prepared, right?" Niyo pouted, "Know more information, and if he asks some questions, I won't be able to answer them." not come up."

I sneered, "He doesn't care how much you know as a little kid."

"I'm not young anymore." Niyo twisted his lips and grimaced, "At least I'm bigger than the one next to you."

"It's only a year or two older at most." I squeezed Gerald's shoulder, "You shouldn't be much different in age."

Just as Niyo was about to refute me, the aircraft obviously began to descend. He turned his upper body and lay down on the window to take a look, pouted, "Here we are, I can see the gate of the clubhouse."

I nodded, put my hand around the back of Gerald's neck, and asked him to turn his eyes back, "Don't look, I have a chance to take you around the city directly, and now we have something to do."

After the aircraft came to a complete stop, I paid the pilot a certain amount of tips as usual, and after Niyo got off the aircraft, I asked Gerald to go down with him first, and then I walked out of the hatch at the end.

After stepping out of the aircraft, I first turned around and held Gerald's forearm to prevent him from getting out of my arm's reach, then looked around for a while, and after making sure that no one was paying attention to us, I nodded to Niyo .

Niyo looked at my expression and probably knew what I was thinking, so he turned around knowingly, walked in front of us, opened the door of the clubhouse first, and declined the hospitality of the welcome staff.

I had informed Mr. Felischer before I left, and he said he would be waiting for us in the office and told us to go straight to him.So after asking Mr. Fisher that he has no meetings or guests at present, we walked along the corridor to his office and knocked lightly on the door of the office.
