There is no way the Liberian girl could lay eggs!

There were few people on the streets in the early morning, but there were some. About ten seconds later, a passerby came to Ferdinand.

Ferdinand took a quick glance and saw that he was an ordinary man.

He was dressed simply, and the clothes he wore were a bit thin and worn, which looked weird no matter how you looked at him.

He kept blowing air into his palms and looked a little dazed.

Not to monitor myself...

With just one glance, Ferdinand determined that this man posed no threat and was just an ordinary person.

Turning his gaze back to the ground in front of him, Ferdinand continued to wait for the red light.

But the ordinary people next to him walked out.

Perhaps the low temperature froze his mind, or perhaps he was not as disciplined as Ferdinand. In short, he could not wait any longer.

However, a car was driving at high speed in the distance.

The glaring headlights minimize the driver's ability to observe the environment.

Just as the two were about to collide, Ferdinand took action.

"Be careful."

He grabbed the passerby's shoulder and pulled him back.

The car sped past them with no intention of stopping.

The whistling sound of the wind startled the passerby, who staggered back to the zebra crossing and watched the car going away with lingering fear.

"Ouch! That was almost the case! It's all because of the weather. I was so cold that I almost lost my mind."

"Thank you very much, kind sir."

He turned to look at the person who helped him - Ferdinand.

It was not until this moment that Ferdinand could clearly see the face of the person in front of him.

Like most people, he is simple and rough, the kind that would disappear instantly in a crowd.

But the clothes the other person was wearing caught Ferdinand's attention.

"Are you...a worker at the Trydon factory?"

Looking at the logo, Ferdinand recognized the other person's identity at a glance.

"Haha...that was several months ago."

The passerby smiled bitterly twice and fell silent.

Ferdinand also saw the other party's embarrassment and wisely chose not to ask any further questions.

unemployment...

Tremont was just one of the many people who lost their jobs every day.

Soon, the green light came on and the two of them walked across the street together and came to the other side.

Ferdinand started walking, but the person walking in the other direction suddenly stopped and called him.

"Good sir, do you believe it?"

"what?"

Ferdinand stopped and looked back at the man.

"This weird weather is all caused by that tech company across the street."

The passerby pointed in the direction Ferdinand was heading and spoke loudly.

Ferdinand looked in the direction of the other person's finger and saw the place he was about to go - Rhine Life.

"They're using drones to spray the sky with chemicals that make our lungs freeze even more with every breath we take."

"They also want to capture us all, soak our brains in a water tank, and use us as nutrients for artificial suns."

The passerby became more and more excited as he talked, and he even walked up to Ferdinand.

Ferdinand was speechless after hearing the nonsense "accusations" coming out of the other party's mouth.

But he still listened carefully.

Because he knew that it was not the fault of the person in front of him.

Ordinary people are too far away from science. Their lives are filled with three meals a day and family, and they have no ability to understand these strange things.

But under the government's hype, science has been shrouded in a cloak of mystery, like a universal wishing machine and trash can where anything can be thrown.

People will do this when life is not what they want and they encounter setbacks. They will find an excuse or someone to complain to, and then continue to live.

Numb as a machine.

Just like he used to...

"And look up at the sky!"

The passerby became increasingly excited as he spoke. He raised his hand and pointed at the starry sky: "Those stars aren't stars at all. They're surveillance cameras set up by monsters. They even kidnapped our distinguished president! They've taken on his skin and are controlling all of Colombia!"

"Take this money and go find a warm place to sleep."

His patience exhausted, Ferdinand took out his wallet, pulled out a few Longmen coins and stuffed them into the hands of passers-by.

But the passerby did not take it. He clenched his fist, making it impossible for Ferdinand to stuff the money into his pocket.

"I'm not short of money, sir. I'm just waiting for daybreak."

Perhaps Ferdinand's actions made him feel a little uncomfortable, and passers-by looked at him with dissatisfaction.

"I'm telling you, I'm organizing a protest against the Vice President and these tech companies. We need to wake everyone up!"

"This is for you too. This is all the money I have. I give it all to you."

Ferdinand took out all the money from his wallet and stuffed it into the arms of a passerby. Then he tightened his scarf and walked towards Rhine Life.

The scattered money slipped from the hands of passers-by, catching him off guard. He hurriedly squatted down and picked up the money that Ferdinand had dropped.

"Sir? Sir?!!"

He shouted loudly, trying to call Ferdinand back.

But Ferdinand just waved his hand and showed no intention of staying.

.........

Through the back door, Ferdinand entered Rhine life.

Instead of going to his own position, he walked all the way to the roof and into the small room.

He pushed open the door and saw the old man with a hunched back.

"You are indeed here."

"Good morning, Ferdinand."

Parvis straightened his bent back, picked up the freshly boiled hot water, and walked to the table.

There was black bean powder in the cup on the table. When it was brewed with hot water, the bitter and slightly sweet taste immediately came out.

"After I finish this cup of black bean tea, it will be dawn and I should go to work."

Sitting down leisurely, Parvis held the tea in his palm, feeling the warmth.

"Stop pretending, Parvis."

Ferdinand sat down across from Parvis and asked coldly, "When did you reach this cooperation agreement with Christen?"

"Ok?"

"You, Yara, Little Justin, and Nasty, you made me think that I had successfully sidelined Kristen and was only one step away from success."

"It turns out I'm just a complete joke! All my hard work and efforts have become a stepping stone for her to move up a level!"

Shame? Or humiliation?

Ferdinand couldn't explain it, but he felt very uncomfortable with the feeling of being played around with.

He was like a child in kindergarten, and the teachers around him worked together to put on a play to cheer him up.

Very childish, but also...appropriate.

He could accept that he lost the fight, and he could also accept the fact that he was not as skilled as his opponent.

But...he couldn't accept this kind of playful behavior.

He is not a kid who hasn't graduated from kindergarten yet, he is a human being!

An adult!

A man who claims to be wise and resourceful!

But in the area where he was most proud, the woman named Kristen ruthlessly shattered his delusion.

In a way that's almost a joke.

Volume 9: Chapter 83: Still able to imagine the future

"Would you like some hot tea, Ferdinand?"

Ignoring Ferdinand's bad attitude, Parvez picked up another cup and repeated the process of making tea with ease.

His indifference made Ferdinand furious.

"you this..."

"Tricky old goat?"

A cup of freshly brewed hot tea was brought to the table in front of Ferdinand, and Parviz ("Ferdinand's humor") continued.

"Let me be clear, I don't know where Kristen is. She doesn't trust me that much yet."

"I'm not that interested in her secrets either."

After delivering the tea to Ferdinand, Parvez struggled to sit back in his original position, gasping for breath.

It seemed like a 100-meter long-distance race for him.

"I know you're not here to question me, otherwise you would have taken the same approach you did to Yara, using the armed forces lent to you by that imposing colonel."

Taking a sip of tea and feeling his body gradually warm up, Parvis continued, "This is really unlike you..."

"You were even willing to endure the humiliation of the pioneers, and then return to humble yourself before the colonel who abandoned you."

"You've clearly made up your mind, so why did you give up when the truth was about to be revealed?"

"It was easy for you to deal with those pioneers back then, wasn't it?"

"Is it fear? Or doubt? Ferdinand, I have never found any weakness in you."

"When you were questioned by the soldiers and faced with countless weapons pointed at you, you could have said Blake's name and gotten away, but you didn't."

“Until then, I discovered…”

"You're... scared, aren't you?"

"You have a family and relatives who will pay the price for what you have done, so you choose to remain silent."

Parvez's voice was soft, but it reached Ferdinand's ears clearly.

"Stop speculating about me!"

He slammed his fist on the table, and Ferdinand, who was seen through, couldn't stop shouting in anger.

Parvez laid his most vulnerable side nakedly on the table as a topic of conversation.

Just like when Parvez wanted to interfere with his laboratory project.

Parvez raised his head, pushed up his glasses with his right hand, and said, "Perhaps it's you, Ferdinand, who never learns from your mistakes. Now is the time to look directly into your heart."

"You are jealous of her. You are jealous that even though she is not here, she still attracts many people to work hard for her ideas."

"You're jealous that she can win people's hearts with just one or two sentences, which takes you a lot of energy to do."

"You envy her personal charm, and even in the deepest part of your heart, you are still attracted to Kristen."

"And the more you deny that, the more you... hate her."

"enough!"
