Life Copy Game

At eight o'clock in the morning, accompanied by the sound of children running and laughing outside, He Ao and Desanke completed communication on some detailed issues related to the exchange with Qunxing Pharmaceutical, and finally ended the meeting.

The general direction is to use the power of Qunxing Pharmaceutical to attack Ned.

"Professor Jess, how do you know so clearly about Qunxing Pharmaceutical's methods of doing things?"

DeSank asked with some confusion while closing the window on the desktop.

"I have had some business exchanges before," He Ao said with a smile, "I have dealt with some higher-level personnel from Qunxing Pharmaceutical."

"It seems that the project you are communicating with is very important."

DeSank nodded slightly.

After all, he had access to the top management of Qunxing Pharmaceutical.

"Well, that's right, but we didn't reach a cooperation," He Ao also nodded and smiled, "In the end, the project was aborted, which had a slight impact on Qunxing Pharmaceutical's stock price."

"These medical consortiums are not good things,"

DeSank sighed, "You're right."

"Do you need a break?"

He Ao closed all the windows on the desktop, reached out to close the smart conference table, looked at Desank's tired face, and asked slowly.

As an ordinary person, De Sank, even though his psychological quality is better than that of ordinary people, but after last night's life-and-death pursuit and this meeting, he was already overtired to the naked eye.

"I have no problem."

DeSank said quickly.

"Let's take a rest first,"

He Ao glanced at Hai Xi, who was bandaged and looked a little tired but still holding on. "The next step is a tough battle. Only after we have a good rest can we have the energy to win this battle."

Haixi raised her head and glanced at He Ao. She hesitated for a moment and nodded gently, "Take a rest. I have some restorative decoctions that I prepared before, which can speed up recovery."

She knew very well that forcing herself to hold on at this time would easily cause her to fall apart at critical moments.

"good."

Seeing that Haixi agreed to He Ao's proposal, Desanke did not insist. He was indeed very tired.

After last night's incident and the discussion in the meeting just now, He Ao gradually became the leader among the three.

"Then Desanke and I will go to our rooms first. Hexi, you go back to the medical room to rest?"

He Ao looked at Hai Xi.

"OK."

Haixi nodded.

Last night, Shanghai Xi had arranged for someone to arrange rooms for He Ao and Desanke, but they were never used.

He Ao didn't need to rest, but he was still stained with blood from last night and his clothes were a little damaged. He was a little too conspicuous when he went out in this state and needed to be cleaned up a little.

"Then let's go there first."

Desanke also said goodbye to Haixi, and then left the conference room with He Ao.

Haixi watched the two people leave and watched the door of the conference room slowly close.

She put her hands on the table and tried to stand up, but as soon as she exerted her strength, her body swayed and she sat back down.

She sighed and raised her bracelet.

······

Howe and DeSank were walking in the corridor outside.

The weather was very good today, and the sunlight penetrated the cold air and shone on the two of them.

"Do you know Christos?"

He Ao asked softly.

"I know him," Desank said with a smile, "I know him, he just doesn't know me."

Then he glanced at the direction of the sun. Morning City was in the east of Wetland. "Actually, a large part of my ability to persist until now is due to his influence."

He walked very slowly, stepping forward step by step in the morning sunshine, "When I was young, I worked in an industrial area after quarreling with my parents, and I know very well what kind of life the industrial employees in the industrial area live.

“They earn the minimum wage, do not have any accident insurance, and the factory pays them the minimum or even no medical insurance, and they live in a work environment where accidents may happen at any time.

“When I was working in a factory, I felt like my life was like a disposable rag, being used wantonly, squeezed out, and then thrown away without any guarantee.

"I still remember that when I was working in a factory in the old industrial area of ​​Plant, I went to a colleague's house. Their family of seven people, three generations, crowded into a small room of less than ten square meters, and they lay in the corner of the room. Looking at his grandmother, she was an old man in her sixties, with a body that looked haggard.

"My father is a doctor, and I was motivated to study medicine. He wanted me to treat his grandma, but they couldn't afford the medical bills or even hire underground doctors.

“I don’t know what kind of disease his grandma suffered from, but from the state of her body, I knew she was dying.

"For a poor family, such a sick old man without any labor is a burden. She was lying on the wooden board, her voice was hoarse. She held my hand with her dry palm and spoke with a vague The language hopes that I can take care of her grandson.

"A few days later, I heard that she was dead.

"Later, I checked the information and asked my father, and finally we determined that she most likely had just a minor illness at first, but due to lack of money for treatment and poor living conditions, it eventually became a serious illness and took away her life. life.

"Shortly after that, I left the factory and went to college. Instead of studying medicine, I became a lawyer. During that period, I continued to improve my ideas and successfully became a parliamentary candidate."

In the federation, lawyers have a high status and practice their eloquence. Many congressmen, mayors, and even the president of the federation are born in this profession.

At this point, DeSank paused and said with a smile, "When I first entered politics, I had nothing. I was eager to change something, but I didn't change anything.

“It was at that time that I saw the news about Christos. At that time, he was not the mayor of Chenxi City, but just a city councilor of Chenxi City.

"I have been paying attention to him. I saw that he went through many setbacks and finally implemented the accident insurance bill and improved employee protection in Chenxi City. At that time, I felt that I should become a councilor like him."

He looked at He Ao and laughed, "But the funny thing is that no one is willing to listen to what I have to say. I have no money to put out campaign ads, and my ideas are not welcomed by the consortium, so I can't get funding. I just I can rely on some basic connections to maintain my campaign.

“In the end, I failed to successfully run for city councilor during the city council’s election, and my subsequent attempt to run for the House of Representatives also failed.”

Having said this, he sighed, "Shortly after that, I found that there was less and less news about Christos, and I began to gradually realize that Christos was also in some kind of predicament. I was still I can't understand what kind of dilemma it is.

“It wasn’t until recently that Stellan Pharmaceuticals gave up its investment in me that I realized what kind of choice Christos was facing at that time.

"Should we continue on the previous path and face the mountains and forests full of thorns and dangers, or should we surrender to the consortium and stop here, save our lives, cooperate with the consortium, and then live a life without worries about food and clothing."

"But although I didn't think so clearly at that time, I vaguely sensed something was wrong. Fortunately, Christos later made this decision."

DeSank turned to look at He Ao and asked softly, "Do you know 'K'?"

"Um?"

He Ao glanced at him and nodded, "I know, what's wrong?"

“I have watched the video of ‘K’’s speech many times, and I feel that he is a person like us, but he goes further and is more determined.

"And I think that also in Chenxi City, Christos should have met 'K' and even cooperated with 'K', because during the time when 'K' was active, Christos He started to announce his candidacy for mayor of Chenxi City and got rid of the choices that trapped him. "

"how about you."

He Ao asked slowly.

DeSank said he had been in the same predicament as Christos before.

"I also made my own decision."

Desank smiled and looked at the rising sun in the sky, "What you said last night was right. In the future, you have to try it yourself."

"You almost died last night."

He Ao said calmly.

"But there will always be people who step on my body and continue walking along my path. When Christos was running for mayor of Chenxi City, he probably never thought that he would actually live to become the mayor of Chenxi City. ”

DeSank smiled, "Maybe I can be like Christos and 'K' and influence other people I have never met, just like they influence me."

He Ao looked at his smile and suddenly said, "Qunxing Pharmaceutical will only seize on Ned's flaws to criticize Ned, and at the same time support their own selected candidates. You also need some 'big exposure' to let more Only when people know you can you have a chance to succeed in the election.”

"Being able to drive this bastard Ned away is a victory."

De Sank thought, "The resources we can mobilize are still too few. If we want to do that kind of instant explosive advertising, the amount of funds required is too great. Even if Qunxing Pharmaceutical is willing to support us, they are unlikely to do it." I took out so much money.”

“Large-scale publicity may not necessarily cost money.”

He Ao shook his head, and then he said slowly in Desank's doubtful eyes, "Let's not consider this issue for now. The time is not mature yet. There are some variables that I have not yet grasped. You know the mid-term elections in Wetland, with Which company does the voting system belong to?”

"It's the 'Phoenix System' of Tellison Communications Foundation."

DeSank withdrew his gaze and replied slowly.

He did not ask He Ao how to obtain "big exposure".

Although the information He Ao had just presented at the meeting and the skillful use of Qunxing Pharmaceutical to drive away tigers and wolf wolves greatly surprised him, but if you want to do something like large-scale publicity in a short time and at a low cost, you still have to do something like this. Some are too outrageous, and he himself prefers the impossible.

He paused, put aside the messy thoughts in his mind, and further explained,

"The 'Phoenix System' is a professional voting and election system developed by Tellison Group under the supervision of the Federal Parliament and the FBI. They claim that this system will never crash and is 100% accurate. All votes and data can be processed internally. Verification and only for election voting.

"This voting system is used in the Wetterland mayoral election, city councilor election, and federal presidential election. Only a few cities in the federation use paper ballots or other voting systems for mayor and city councilor elections."

"I see."

He Ao nodded to express understanding.

Chenxi City’s elections use the voting system developed by the Chenxi City Municipal Government.

He Ao knows this.

As the two largest cities in the east and west of the Federation, Dawn City and Wetland had some competition at some point.

At this time, the two of them had already reached the door of their room.

Howe and Desanke said goodbye and entered the room.

The room that Haixi arranged for He Ao was the room where he had been injured before. There was a restorative potion on the table in the room. He Ao picked up the potion and drank it in one gulp, then opened the closet.

There was a neat set of new clothes hanging inside, exactly the same as what He Ao was wearing now.

He Ao's current set of clothes was bought by Hai Xi based on his previous clothes. He was already familiar with buying another set, but this time it was He Ao who gave him the money and asked Hai Xi to help him buy another set.

Jess is not a person who likes to dress up. He buys many of the same clothes.

He Ao took a shower, changed his clothes, then turned on his bracelet and read the contents of the chip given to him by Haixi.

In fact, He Ao had already read the documents inside when Haixi had surgery last night.

The content of these files is very simple, that is, a gang that was once within Thorn's sphere of influence is collecting materials on a large scale from the list given by He Ao.

The smuggling group where Haixi's 'friend' belonged took over most of the 'business'.

They also knew that there was someone behind this gang, but due to the unspoken rules of the underground world, they didn't ask anything and just went about their 'business' safely.

These materials mentioned that in the past few days, at 10:30 every morning, the smuggling group would drive the materials to a location in the eastern part of the West District and hand them over to the gang, who would then take the materials away.

Although the time is the same, the location of each transaction is different. However, the latest transaction they agreed on, which is the location of today's transaction, is also included in the information given by Haixi.

It is now eight o'clock in the morning, and He Ao needs to rush to the agreed place to find the gang before they start a new wave of transactions.

And by following this gang, you should be able to find the mysterious man's second laboratory.

With two days left until the midterm elections, Ho doesn't have much time.

After adjusting his pants and stuffing the pendant into his clothes, He Ao put on his coat and left the room.

Dessank's deafening snoring could be heard from the room next to him.

At the door of He Ao's room, a figure in a wheelchair was waiting quietly.

"You didn't go to rest?"

He Ao, who had just opened the door, glanced at the wheelchair under Hai Xi and asked slowly.

"I bought this wheelchair when I was injured last time. I didn't expect it to still be used,"

Haixi smiled. She stretched out her hand and pointed to a skinny young man behind her who was pushing a wheelchair for her. "This is Ryan. He has been with me for many years. I can trust him. He has a special talent for knowing the way." , is very familiar with the topography of the West District, and is also familiar with other districts of Wetland,

"He can drive for you. Many gangs in the West District know him. If there is any inconvenience, you can let him do it."

He Ao had asked Haixi to help find a trustworthy person who was familiar with the road. In this kind of clue-finding incident, it would be much more convenient to have a local snake who knew the situation to help.

Haixi originally wanted to follow He Ao herself, but she was too seriously injured and was stopped by He Ao.

"Hello, Mr. Jess."

Ryan looked at He Ao and bowed respectfully to He Ao.

"Hello,"

He Ao nodded to Ryan, then looked at Haixi who was sitting in the wheelchair, "Thank you."

"You're welcome,"

Haixi looked up at He Ao, the sun shining on her weak cheeks, "I have a hunch that the fate of the scavengers may change because of you, I believe in you."

"Scavenger Priest intuition?"

He Ao smiled.

“Maybe it’s the inspiration from fellow travelers”

Hiashi smiled.

In a sense, they are on the same path, moving towards similar goals.

······

He Ao said goodbye to Hai Xi, took Ryan and left in the modified car specially prepared for them by Hai Xi.

This kind of modified sedan is common in the West End and is not as conspicuous as the off-road vehicles that gangs like to drive.

Ryan was very familiar with the road, and he took He Ao through a small path and quickly arrived at the transaction location.

He Ao asked Ryan to park the car on the side of the road, just like an ordinary parked vehicle. Then the two of them turned off the engine, sat in the car, and looked outside.

Not far ahead, several large off-road vehicles were slowly approaching.

It's a little bit late.
