As a world-renowned veteran scholar, Lord Russell had a better life than ordinary people during the cataclysm. Pen~Fun~Ge www.biquge.info Although he was also hungry, he also experienced displacement and fear, and he was once on the verge of death, but the rulers valued him very much, and the worst time was when he escaped not long ago, when he was captured as a slave.

In fact, the slave hunters didn't want Russell, a seemingly useless old man, who was arrested because Russell himself said that he was very important. As a result, the old Harris who caught up with him killed two of his men in order to catch him.

Now Russell remains proud, persuading his students not to serve the brutal dictator and to follow him to the righteous leaders of freedom and democracy.

But more than a dozen male and female students in the cafeteria looked at each other. They had been working at Bell Labs. No matter what the outside world turned around, every ruler who occupied New Jersey did not treat them badly. They only learn about the outside world from various indirect sources of information.

There are wars everywhere outside, there are dead people outside, there is chaos outside, and the researchers in the lab are terrified of the outside world, but what is it like outside the lab? No one knows.

It wasn't until Bell Labs was assigned to the 'Aurora Army' that a large number of high-end researchers were packed up and taken away, and Old Man Russell temporarily rebelled and fled, that his students didn't know what hell on earth was.

Dead person? How many people in the ivory tower have seen dead people? Those who were shot, those who starved to death, those who were abused, and the dead all died in tricks. The devastated world has a huge psychological impact on people, which is stronger than the moment when a nuclear bomb exploded.

Now when they hear Old Man Russell say that they are leaving, the students who have just eaten a meal are going to cry - they really don't want to run around outside anymore, and the insecure world is simply an abyss of despair.

But old man Russell disagreed, "We will find a suitable new home, and there will be a strong and righteous organization that needs us." We can start research again and dedicate ourselves to the scientific cause of humanity again. We should look for a bright future. ”

The old man filled his stomach, spoke a little louder, and his short speech seemed enthusiastic, but ......, there were few responders. There were also many people eating together in the restaurant of the passenger ship, and everyone looked at the old man like a stupid man, at most drooling a little more about the rich food on the old man's plate.

And at this moment, a plate fell opposite the old man Russell, and the old Harris, who was pale, sat down. He said in a sarcastic tone: "Mr. Russell, do you feel that you are more important than others? So you don't care about other people's lives or deaths. ”

"Nope! I didn't mean that. I'm not targeting you, I know you're just having to serve the tyrant, and I should be thankful that you saved me, even though I didn't need to. Old man Russell said in a firm tone: "I just don't want to work for a brutal yellow-skinned monkey." ”

"The yellow-skinned monkey in your mouth has saved a lot of people, and he is strong enough to shelter hundreds of thousands of people to live in peace. If you want to say it, everyone here has no choice. And what about serving tyrants? At least our corps commander is quite nice to his own people.

You should really be out there trying to see how many people are out there trying to get on a passenger ship to Havana, and you should really be going to experience the collective despair of hundreds of people. The Legion values your talents, and you are lucky. ”

After saying this, old Harris picked up his plate and got up to leave. Russell was stunned for a few moments, but still stubbornly shouted: "I know you're trying to convince me, aren't you just for the bounty of 10,000 gold coins?" You're just a tyrant's lackey, and I'm not going to let you get your way. ”

The atmosphere became tense and awkward, and after the old man Russell finished eating the food on his plate, he urged his students to hurry up and follow him, "We must get out of here immediately, lest things go wrong." ”

More than a dozen students, you look at me, I look at you, hesitated for a long time before standing up and then getting off the passenger boat. And the old man Russell found Clooney again, first thanked the other party for the dinner, and then made a big request: "Arrange a car for us, a driver, a guard, we are leaving." ”

Clooney smirked, "Dear Mr. Russell, I myself will be happy to serve you. But cars, drivers, guards all belonged to the property of the regiment and could only serve the regimental personnel.

And you refuse to join us, so at best we will provide you with a dinner out of humanitarian reasons, and you will have to take care of the rest. ”

"Hmph...... I knew you weren't going to let me leave. But I still refuse to serve a tyrant. "Russell is arrogant, but he doesn't give in.

Clooney didn't care, but said gently: "It's okay, you're free, I can help you contact the Brotherhood in New York, maybe they're willing to send someone to pick you up." ”

"Well, the Brotherhood in New York is an orthodox American organization anyway." Russell felt acceptable to this arrangement.

So the contact person went to contact, and the person who waited for the news could only stay and stand stupidly by the port of Baltimore. Russell and a dozen of his students were right on the pier, and the only thing to watch was the hordes of refugees crowding into the visa registration office just to get a ticket to Havana.

Less than 10 percent of the people were able to get the tickets, and the scene was extremely chaotic, with some pleading, some cursing, and some crying.

There was no killing, no blood, only cold rejection here. It makes people shudder to look at the desperate cries of many people after being rejected.

"What should I do? Can anyone help me? ”

"It took me half a month and exhausted all my physical strength to come here, why didn't you let me get on the boat?"

"Are you going to watch us die here? Can you have some mercy for God's sake? Even if you don't let me get on the boat, why don't you let my children get on the boat? ”

Every cry is heart-wrenching, and some people have a nervous breakdown and jump into the sea directly after being rejected, but no one saves them at all. Only after the people drowned did the guards scoop up the bodies.

This cruel and unforgiving scene was simply a most terrible nightmare, and Russell's students turned pale, their bodies swayed, and their foreheads were dripping with cold sweat. One of the students couldn't stand the scene, and with a burst of tears, he turned around and ran in the direction of the passenger ship.

"Let me get on board, let me get on board immediately, I'm an A+ level and I'm willing to swear long-term loyalty to the Hugo Army. Please let me get out of here, I can't stand it. The student almost cried and said he wanted to surrender.

said that he was a student, but in fact, he was a postdoctoral fellow in his forties, and he immediately got the best treatment. And in order to appease the other party, Clooney even reminded him that in addition to his own family, he can also choose some people from the refugees as his entourage to satisfy his psychology of saving the world.

And with such an example taking the lead, the other students under Russell were immediately shaken. At this time, who still wants to follow the stubborn old man on the dock? Hurry up and bring the whole family on board!

In the end, a dozen students dispersed, leaving Russell alone on the edge of the dock in a daze. But the old man still refused to bow his head, and muttered: "Well, I understand these poor children, they are all frightened by the psychological tactics imposed by the tyrant. Alas...... let them go! ”

Old man Russell could only continue to wait, wait, wait, wait, and finally wait until late at night, he couldn't stand it anymore, so he could only run to find Clooney again. But the Minister had already rested, and it was old Harris on duty who received him.

"Why didn't the New York Brotherhood send someone to pick me up?"

"Oh...... they said no five hours ago. Because according to the agreement between the Aurora Legion and the New York Brotherhood, the personnel and equipment of Bell Labs are owned by the Legion, and they do not want to break the agreement and create unnecessary misunderstandings. ”

The USS Kennedy is still floating on the sea, so it's not a good misunderstanding.

Russell was stunned for a moment, and then shouted angrily: "Since there is news, why don't you notify me?" You just made me, an old man who was almost seventy years old, wait for five hours at night! ”

Old Harris sneered and said lazily: "You are not from our legion, why should I inform you?" ”

In ......the end, Mr. Russell, who was cold and hungry and lost all his students, had no choice but to accept his fate and board the ship.

When he saw his students again, he shrugged his shoulders awkwardly and said, "I just see that the refugees on the dock are really pitiful, I have reached some agreements with the 'Aurora Legion', and in order to save them, I have defected to the tyrant."

And I feel that as a team, if you don't have my experience and guidance, you will not be able to use your talents within the legion. And I, a professor, would not be able to continue my research work without a suitable assistant.

I admit that I have some knots about working for the Aurora Army, my heart is for America, but no one in America cares about me. I apologize for my previous wrong words. So, ......, I had to board the ship as well. ”

A dozen students all rolled their eyes - why bother if they knew this was the case? (To be continued.) )
