Latent Syndrome

Chapter 190 189. Farewell

Colin took over the mission information given by the liaison officer, as well as the three-piece set of agents from the First Branch, a Congress-sponsored consumer card, a universal magnetic card, and a communication terminal.

The mission lasts for two months. We cannot rule out the possibility of temporary transfers during the period, but the chance is not too high. The SCT's huge failure in the Los Angeles operation has already damaged some of their foundations, which means they will not make any big moves in the short term.

Colin's target is a biologist named Opal.

Just as the Countermeasures Bureau is desperately looking for people who have been to the South Pacific, the SCT is also frantically looking for these people, and they are also investigating the matter.

So this trip is not as simple as finding someone. It is far more dangerous than imagined, and it will also deal with SCT killers, but it is not a problem at all for Colin's current strength.

The most important thing is that the Countermeasures Bureau once found Opal, but he escaped. Opal himself is not an infected person, but he has a very mysterious power that does not come from him. He is now escaping in the southern region of the Freedom Alliance. .

As of now, the last time I saw him was in Dallas, Texas, five days ago. He went to a pharmacy in the early morning and stole a large amount of cold medicine. According to some psychologists' speculation, maybe it was the depression of the escape life. He tried to synthesize other substances from an ingredient in cold medicine.

Colin believes that this method of finding is undoubtedly a needle in a haystack, but it is better than having no clue at all.

"In addition to knowing the inside story of the South Pacific island, these people must also have vital items in their hands. This is why the SCT is eager to find them."

"The reason why Luna is your partner is because she has special investigative skills."

"Any questions? Agent Colin."

The liaison officer packed up the information files.

"You always have reservations about me."

"If we find this person, should we capture him alive, or should we kill him and just get what we have?"

Colin asked.

"Depends on the situation."

"You will naturally know what to do when the time comes. After this mission is completed, Section 1 will share all the organized events with you."

"Without further delay, the SCT people are also looking for him, so it's best to leave as soon as possible."

"Hope for a happy co-operation."

The liaison stood up and held out his hand.

"A handshake is not necessary."

Colin took the documents and the three-piece detective suit and left the cafe without looking back.

Liaison: "..."

…

…

…

Violet has already checked in with the liaison officer, and according to her, she is currently doing her hair or something.

Colin didn't want to run over and wait like an idiot. Although he had a job, being an agent of Section 1 was quite free. In other words, there were no restrictions at all. All trips, plans, and plans were made by himself. , if you have professional needs, you can also ask the headquarters for advice, and the processing speed is quite fast.

He was ready to settle everything in Los Angeles and leave here completely.

Santa Maria District.

It was once a terrorist attack by stormtroopers. Many buildings were blasted overnight, and public facilities and all street stores were in a mess. It was one of the most difficult areas to rebuild.

Fortunately, the orphanage where Eugene is located is far away from the city center and has not been greatly affected.

Because of the evaporation of the population of St. George's district, the emergency evacuation policy, and all the people who died in the riots, it led to social imbalance.

A large number of teenagers are stranded in Los Angeles without guardians and homeless.

The sky was filled with leaden gloom, as if everything was not over yet, and a more turbulent undercurrent was rolling.

"I have to say that SCT's method is very effective."

Eugene wore an apron and took on the role of a gardener, watering the flowers in the flower bed where Colin was last.

Eugene was a little surprised by Colin's visit. He didn't expect that he would still be staying in Los Angeles.

"Which one?"

Colin knew what he was asking. Although he didn't want to admit it, what SCT was more clever about than violence and terror was their manipulation of people's hearts.

"Under the actions and influence of those madmen, even after they left, they left too many negative impacts. Street crimes among teenagers have become common recently, and too many welfare homes have been converted into correctional institutions."

"It is used to take in those children who are not yet mentally sound and can cause great disasters."

"This welfare home has also received an order."

"But I asked Jessica to settle it."

Eugene no longer wanted to get involved with anything related to SCT and the Countermeasures Bureau, but these things kept coming to her endlessly, giving her a huge headache.

Colin knew that although it was claimed that the mayor was standing guard in the city hall and was hit in the head by a stray bullet and died, the real situation was more complicated. Although there is no so-called mayor in Los Angeles now, and although Jessica is still a college student, With his father's influence and inherited property, he was actively involved in the reconstruction work of Los Angeles and has considerable energy in today's Los Angeles.

"Do you want to leave Section 11? I can see that you have always hated these bad things, or you have never cared about them."

Colin was clumsy and was about to pick a leaf and play with it, but Eugene slapped him open.

Colin: "..."

"Of course I want to, but that's impossible. It's good for us infected people to be able to hang out outside to a certain extent. Those who have been isolated recently... Shusk District has become the new experimental site of the Second Department. Information The utmost secrecy.”

"Maybe one day I will end up like that, maybe much sooner than imagined."

Eugene said calmly, she had already accepted all this.

After the change of the person in charge of Section 11, the way things are done is even more extreme, and even the position of agent who excludes infected people has been cancelled. The so-called new agents have been eliminated. Once symptoms are discovered, they will be immediately isolated. Only elite agents have privileges. Now even official agents are under high surveillance at all times.

Colin handed a letter to Eugene.

Eugene opened it and looked at it with a little surprise in his eyes. This was Colin's handwritten letter, written to the head of Section 11.

With Colin's current status, he has to overpower the heads of these regional departments. Just like the SCT Summit wants to inscribe people like Hugo, the first department must also inscribe figures like Hao and Colin. .

"Depending on your wishes, you can give this letter to him at any time. I guarantee that he will not dare to stop you."

"If there's anything you can't solve, just call me."

"Money is no longer a problem for me. According to Section 1, I will fake my death and become a person without identity. I will also make a will and transfer all the property here to you."

After Colin said these words, he felt refreshed and the feeling of pretentiousness was wonderful.

Eugene narrowed his eyes, smiled, and put the letter away unceremoniously.

"Look at you... you couldn't even hold a gun half a year ago, but now you are a big shot."

"I can only say...knowledge is power. A double major in construction and finance is too strong. I am already too strong."

"Can you be more mature, uncle..."

"By the way, where did you learn to shoot? It's understandable that you know how to use a pistol. Those big guys can use it too."

"I am a member of a shooting club and have killed one or two robbers who broke into the house illegally. Is there any problem?"

"Damn, it's so boring. I thought it was just a gang girl who was bleeding on the streets. Your tattoos are too punk. That's right. This is your defense mechanism."

Colin felt a little bored, but that was not a good thing. It felt too wrong to shed blood on the streets.

"Suddenly he was so kind to me, and it was a personal letter, and it was property. Do you have any evil thoughts about me?"

Eugene took off her gardening apron and decided to spend her days quietly in a place without disputes.

"You can think of it this way."

"Come on, I think of this as mental compensation for smoking your second-hand smoke every day."

"..."

It has nothing to do with any low-level emotions.

The two hugged their shoulders symbolically.

"Take care of yourself."

"The same to you."
