"That's all I can think of. Do you have anything to add?"

Silence fell once again inside the tent.

The cadres who had been integrated looked at each other, all of them filled with a deep sense of disbelief.

The conditions Zhao Zizhan offered were not bad, but rather too good!

These jobs are a dream come true for those infected, because they know nothing but how to risk their lives against others.

Simple manufacturing, using one's own strength for security, using one's own abilities to help with moving, working as a caregiver, joining the mining industry—these jobs are all too normal for ordinary people.

They wouldn't even dare to dream of it normally.

Is this a job that infected people can do? Is it really possible for something for nothing to fall from the sky?

“You don’t need to worry about the identity of the infected, because there are quite a few infected employees on Rhodes Island. Look, my girlfriend is an infected person.” Zhao Zizhan tugged at Surtr’s arm. The other person paused for a moment but did not refute.

"The vast majority of employees on Rhodes Island, including our head, Ms. Amiya, are also infected, so you don't need to worry about being ostracized because of your infected status."

"Of course, if you still don't believe me, that's perfect. I can approve a few more people for the first batch of Oripathy treatment slots. You can come with me to the island and see how we operate. How about it?"

Zhao Zizhan looked at the cadres of the Integration Movement with a sincere expression.

Controlling and influencing the integration movement? That's too narrow-minded!

What he wants is to swallow the entire Integration Movement whole!

Chapter Ninety: When the real is made to appear fake, the fake also becomes real.

"What exactly does mining production entail?"

After a long pause, the integration cadres finally identified a few issues within their area of ​​expertise.

You say we know miners? Many of the people here are former miners. Recalling life in the Ursus mines, it was a nightmare that would wake you up in the middle of the night.

Mining in Ursus is a job that even the most powerful people wouldn't want to do.

Due to the unique nature of Originium, open-pit ore veins are often formed briefly after natural disasters, making it very difficult to establish a mine. The vast majority of mines that are established are deep ore veins.

Neither the mine owners nor the officials of Ursus were willing to equip these Oripathy patients with any mining machinery, so manual mining became the dominant method.

In the deep veins, to match the height of the pack animals that are the only means of transportation, the height of these mine shafts is generally no more than 1.3 meters. The miners have to hunch over and work in the cramped space.

In the mine, miners would erect wooden sticks as information pillars. These sticks actually did not provide any support; their only purpose was to make a creaking sound as they were crushed before the mine collapsed, alerting the miners to escape as soon as possible.

The poor food and living conditions left the miners with no extra energy to widen the mine shafts, and the more they expanded the shafts, the greater the risk of collapse.

And this is only the risk of working.

The inhumane treatment of people in the mine further squeezed the last drop of blood from the infected.

If it weren't for Patriot and his guerrillas, many people would have died silently in the mines like wild dogs, their bodies left to rot in the wilderness, turning into ashes.

Eight Thousand Four Thousand Nine Thousand Three

The other jobs sound too good to be true, and people don't really know how to do production, but if you talk about miners, then people will have a good talk with you.

"Yes, we need to mine. Originium is the main energy source on Terra, so mining is an unavoidable task. However, as I said before, there are small mining platforms on Rhodes Island. We have a full set of mining equipment, as well as a six-wheeled work platform purchased from Thor Heavy Industries. But we still need a lot of personnel to assist us."

Zhao Zizhan took out a small notebook, which contained notes on various precautions and regulations for mining in Rhode Island.

"Mining is tough work. Members of this type of work must strictly abide by mining operation regulations and wear protective equipment. Otherwise, they cannot participate in mining operations. Of course, their pay is much higher than that of ordinary people. After the work is completed, Rhodes Island will arrange leave for the miners to recover their physical condition."

No, this seems to be outside our area of ​​expertise.

What is a small mining platform? What is a six-wheeled work platform, and what safety equipment is used for it?

Nobody's seen this before...

The cadres of the Integration Movement felt like they were dreaming at this moment. It was as if the whole world was not raining when they went out.

"Your suggestion requires migration."

Nine six zero one two six two seven zero Qianxun

"Ursus, no, not allowed."

While everyone was stunned by the grand promises Zhao Zizhan made, the patriot calmly pointed out the key point.

Their existence is not tolerated by Ursus. All of Zhao Zizhan's wonderful plans, such as the various offices in Terra and Rembiton, are based on the premise that everyone can leave Ursus.

They might succeed by hiding within Ursus, but with the Reunion Movement's scale, do you think an army group is just sitting around doing nothing?

"How will you bypass the defenses?"

"If it's feasible, what is your purpose?"

Compared to others, Patriots think more on a military level.

Rhodes Island, an organization the Patriots had never heard of.

Someone who can bypass the Ursus Group's defenses to find a group of infected people hidden deep within Ursus is definitely not just looking to offer them comfort.

Patriots, too, longed to leave Ursus.

It's just that it's impossible.

His name was on Ursus's priority list, and if his name appeared near the border, the surrounding defense forces would definitely come to surround and kill him without hesitation.

Meat should be kept in the pot to rot. Even if Patriot dies in the wild, he dies in Ursus. But if he runs away and is used by someone else, that's a different story.

Moreover, he also keenly realized that Zhao Zizhan's purpose seemed to be more than just Rhodes Island's demands.

"Trade? No need. Entering the ice plains? You have other desires."

If they just wanted to trade, why not go to a large mobile city instead of coming to this desolate wilderness? They should know that Chernobog is right below them.

He came to this icy plain to search for something, and it's very likely that his target is them!

"As expected, I couldn't hide it from you," Zhao Zizhan sighed.

“I confess, I have some personal motives, one of my main ones being you, Talulah.”

"I?"

Talulah pointed to herself.

"Yes, you. To be honest, I actually have a very strange bloodline disease. I have a bloodline that is very similar to Draco's, which is constantly eroding me. The doctors on Rhodes Island need to treat me regularly to suppress my condition."

As Zhao Zizhan spoke, he activated his Golden Eyes.

"That's it"

Suddenly, an inexplicable sense of familiarity rose in Talulah's heart, but she quickly felt something was wrong, as if it were an illusion.

"The medical staff told me that my bloodline is very similar to Draco's, but they can't be sure unless they have a blood sample from Draco to help with the research."

"Due to a lack of samples, my treatment has been delayed, and I never had high hopes. However, near Chernobog, I learned about the Reunion Movement and its leader, Talulah. Upon learning that you were actually a rare Draco, I was overjoyed. I searched the wasteland with my colleagues for a long time but couldn't find any trace of you. But then, due to an accidental rescue, I met you."

"But why didn't you just tell me?"

Talulah asked, puzzled.

“I’d like to, but if someone I just met said I needed some of your blood to research a cure for their illness, you probably wouldn’t believe me, right? Besides, after entering the Reunion camp, I found the condition of the infected here to be truly appalling.”

"So I thought, why don't I just establish contact with you first, help the infected people here to get some new life, and after we get to know each other, I'll make my request, and I'm afraid the chances of you getting it will be much higher."

"What you're saying seems to make some sense..."

"Of course, the second target is naturally you, Mr. Patriot."

"I need your help to defeat a monster!"

Chapter Ninety-One: Success.

Many people would say that a sophisticated lie is a truth inserted into a lie told by the Bureau Nine.

In fact, arranging and combining ten truths, concealing some and selectively stating others, can achieve a better effect.

That's exactly what Zhao Zizhan said. Every word he said was true, but not entirely true.

It's true that they came to find Talulah, and it's also true that they wanted to help the Reunion Movement. And it's also true that they wanted to find Patriot and defeat the monster.

Every single word is true, yet they together form a lie.

Zhao Zizhan's words, spoken with personal motives, actually eased the tension among the people in the tent.

They say that there are no saints who suddenly appear in this world to save people from suffering; they all come with a purpose.

They don't believe they have the good fortune to suddenly have a good life; if they did, they wouldn't have become infected.

On the contrary, they are more likely to accept help that is offered with a strong objective and to demand something from them.

They cannot accept pure love, nor can they accept kindness that requires no reciprocation. They are more adaptable to complex kindness, kindness that is purposeful, calculated, exploitative, or even hateful.

This is the goodwill they received from this land.

“Mr. Zizhan…we’d like to discuss this further, what do you think…”

"No problem, you two chat, I'm going out for some fresh air first."

Zhao Zizhan led Surtr slowly out of the tent and stretched.

"You seem very confident?"

Zhao Zizhan chuckled, gestured the shape of a seven, took out an ice pop, and leaned close to Surtr, whispering in her ear.

"I invited that patriotic gentleman mainly to ensure the success of this mission. It wasn't because I doubted your capabilities. In my mind, you are undoubtedly the strongest in the world, and I certainly trust you more than they do."

Surtr didn't really care much about Zhao Zizhan's invitation to others, but the fact that he thought of her and came to comfort her made her feel somewhat pleased.

It feels really good to be cared about like this.

It has to be said that living with Zhao Zizhan is a very relaxing thing. I don't have to worry about almost anything on the road. I only need to think about fighting and protecting his safety. When eating, he will naturally give me more of his portion. After he finishes, he will clean up the dirty dishes without saying a word. The next time we eat, everything will be clean again.

It's a comfortable feeling, like a gentle, continuous flow.

Surtr felt inexplicably pleased that he could think of things he hadn't even noticed before, and that he had even brought ice cream to comfort him.

Even when he performs emotions in the human world, he no longer has such strong resistance.

Inside the tent, the cadres of the Reunification Movement were discussing among themselves.

“He’s probably not lying,” Reid said. “I’ve met a lot of people, but no liar would be like him.”

"The other party has an ulterior motive, which is a good thing for us. At least we are truly earning this treatment through our own hard work, without having to worry about some inexplicable traps."

“I think the deal is feasible. Isn’t our goal to enable infected people to live well together? If there is such an opportunity, I don’t think we should miss it.”

"But what they want is Talulah's blood..."

“I have no objection,” Talulah said.

"It's just some blood. I've shed enough blood while fighting these days. If my blood can help countless infected people live a better life, then it has some use." Talulah was quite straightforward. This girl seemed to have inherited her father's carefree attitude and acted in a way that was not typical of a girl.

"And what about Dad?"

"I only know how to fight."

"If Dad agrees too..."

"So, do we need to make some changes to our original plan to go to Chernobog?"

"Why don't we listen to their plans on how to bypass the army group's defenses before making a decision?"

"agree"

……

"Mr. Zizhan, could you tell me more about the monster we are supposed to defeat?"

"All I know is that its name is Odin, and its appearance is accompanied by torrential rain, strong winds, and lightning. That thing is very powerful. My girlfriend Surtr can handle it, but that monster is strong, and I'm afraid she won't be able to deal with it alone. If Mr. Patriot were here, I would have much more confidence."

“In that case, I’ll also join the fight against that monster,” Talulah patted her chest and volunteered.

"As a leader, it is only natural to fight for the future of the infected. There is absolutely no reason for me to let my father fight while I hide in the rear."
