Chapter 2 Tomorrow's Ark(1/2)
"Amiya, who is it?"
"..." Amiya was stunned, her smile froze on her face. Juecheng's words made her expression a little stiff.
Just like the wreckage left behind by the cream sculpture being instantly dried, her expression froze.
"Who am I?" Juecheng asked again before Amiya could say anything.
In an instant, Juecheng read a lot of emotions from the face of the girl in front of him.
Lost, regret, pain, fatigue......
Soon, no, maybe in just a moment, Amiya's expression became firm again.
"You are a PhD, Dr. Juecheng, like me and a few outside, you are all employees of the "Rhode Island" pharmaceutical company."
"And, doctor is a very important person to me. Can't you even remember these?" Amiya raised her head and looked at Juecheng with a blank expression, as if she wanted to see even a slight change in her face. Her blue eyes were filled with a faint quid and prayer.
Juecheng looked at the girl in front of him, with a curved curve on the corner of his mouth, and then closed his eyes.
Just when Amiya felt that Juecheng was about to respond to him, he moved.
But he just shook his head.
Although he just shook his head, the girl in front of him took a few steps back as if she was hit by something.
Juecheng seemed to see tears in the corner of the other person's eyes.
For a moment, only for a moment, a thought appeared in Juecheng's mind, that was, to rush over and hug the girl in front of him, and then loudly told her that the doctor who belonged to her was back.
But in fact, just like she does not have the memory of Amiya now, she has never had the experience of playing with herself. Moreover, Juecheng also understands that she is not qualified to embrace a girl now.
He may be a doctor in Amiya's eyes, but he shouldn't be a doctor. Or, Amiya, you have recognized the wrong person.
Just as the girl bit the corner of her lips, her big hands were placed on her head at the right time, which made her raise her head.
"Maybe I and you have experienced something, but I can't recall it at all."
Juecheng's hoarse voice made Amiya lower her head again. She might have understood something, but she still had a hint of luxury.
"However," Juecheng's words changed, "Although I don't remember, I can feel that Amiya's concern and worry about me is real. Even if I may have forgotten the past, instead of immersing in the past sorrow, it is better to look at the future."
Amiya looked up and saw Juecheng's gentle smile.
"Because maybe we don't know whether tomorrow will be worse than today, or...."
"Brighter." Amiya answered.
This time it was Juecheng's turn to be stunned, but when he saw Juecheng showing a silence for the first time, Amiya suddenly smiled, laughing happily, and smiling cutely.
Yes, as Juecheng said, recalling the past is meaningless, and what she needs to do is to cherish the present and look forward to the future. People cannot live in the past forever.
Doctor... has said this before.
Amiya kissed Juecheng's waist and buried her face in his chest.
"Doctor, I will not give up, I will not give up! For me, the doctor is always the most important person to me. No matter what happens, this will not change at all!"
It was like encouraging himself, or cheering Juecheng, Amiya said in a muffled voice.
"So, please give me more time."
"Even if it's just a short time."
"Okay." Juecheng smiled bitterly in his heart while stroking Amiya's little head.
Is this really a time travel?
"Ark of Tomorrow" is also known as "Mutoshima", and is one of Juecheng's favorite mobile games in his previous life.
In the game, players will serve as the leader of Rhode Island, "Doctor", lead a group of Rhode Island operators to rescue the victims, deal with ore disputes, and fight the integration movement. In the complex game of forces, they will find a way to cure ore diseases.
The Terra Continent of the game Ark of Tomorrow is another interesting thing, that is, their energy usage is very different from other worlds.
Here, the main application of energy is a substance called source stone. Most of the source stones are black semi-transparent crystals, and most of the source stones contain huge energy, which is the primary factor in causing natural disasters.
It is usually used in the field of spells and is the basic material and catalytic for manufacturing various casting tools and spell props. Without the assistance of source stone, the efficiency of spells will be greatly reduced.
With the innovation of source stone engine technology, more and more source stones are used as energy by various countries.
However, long-term exposure to source stones and their industrial derivatives will make people more likely to get an incurable disease called "orch disease".
People suffering from ore disease are called "infected people". Ore disease will enhance people's spell use ability in a dangerous form, but it will continuously expand the scope of infected ore disease during the use of spells by the patient, and ultimately take away the infected person's life and use it as a new source of infection.
There have been many long-term research on this disease, but there have not been many effective results.
In other words, the source stone is similar to the nuclear energy in his previous life. It provides high enough energy and is accompanied by the birth of negative products such as nuclear radiation. Moreover, compared with the utilization and control of nuclear energy, the infection rate of source stone disease in the Terra world is much terrible.
Because once the source stone is infected, the infected person will be sentenced to death. In addition, the uncontrollable changes brought by ore disease threaten urban security. Even the corpse will become a source of infection after death, and even the infected person is a demon.
In addition, the "anti-infected remarks" of local governments, which means transferring all the contradictions of people's fear of ore diseases to infected people instead of finding ways to suppress and solve ore diseases. No, in other words, there may be no way to cure ore diseases in this world.
The source of the substance, source stone, cannot be separated from natural disasters. The term natural disaster is a collective name for various natural disasters that occur frequently in the Terra world.
It includes and is not limited to storms, snow disasters, heavy rainfall, floods, and even meteorite falls, etc.
The frequency of natural disasters is very high and the rules are elusive, which leads to most civilizations avoiding natural disasters through migration throughout the city.
After natural disasters, a mineral called source stone is often left behind. Research shows that natural disasters may actually be a medium of transmission of source stone.
Relying on the substance of source stone to enter the modern era, but it also rejects infected people who have emerged due to source stone infection. The long-term oppression has finally led to the infections showing signs of resistance, and the integration movement is the most powerful representative of it.
Compared to the fact that some extremists use violence to fight for their legitimate rights and interests, we have to mention what Amiya calls “Rhode Island”.
Rhode Island Pharmaceuticals is a registered pharmaceutical research and development company. Rhode Island claims in public information that it is studying medical solutions that can be applied to infected people encountered by various countries, organizations or individuals, so it recruits talents across countries regardless of qualifications or infections.
At the same time, Rhode Island also provides its employees with good medical and living conditions and state-of-the-art research equipment, which has attracted many desperate infected people and capable people who are determined to change the situation of infected people.
Compared to the integration movement, Rhode Island's policy is undoubtedly more gentle, and the player's purpose is naturally to save the infected and the world as set by the game.
Having said that.
Juecheng touched a crystal on his left arm, his face feeling bitter.
Have you also been infected with the origin of stone disease?
"Doctor, please bring this with you." Amiya let go of Juecheng, took out a mask from her backpack and handed it to him.
"This is..." Looking at the black mask in his hand, Jue Cheng gestured on his face for a moment and then was stunned.
This thing seems to be quite high-end, and it is like a big sunglasses on your face.
"It's very chaotic outside now. This mask comes with a breathing filtration system. I think you need him very much in your current situation." Amiya said seriously.
"Well, thank you, Amiya." Without hesitation, Juecheng put on a mask and a uniform hood, hiding his face under the cover.
Just when Juecheng wanted to ask something through Amiya, Dubin, who was originally guarding the door, led a man and a woman to quickly hide in the room.
"Oh no, someone invaded the facility. Now time is not something to waste at will, Amiya." As if it was a reproach or a reminder, Dobin said to Amiya.
"Are there any enemies outside? Also, where is this?" Juecheng asked with his eyes narrowed.
"We will talk to you about this matter later. Compared to this, Amiya, the guy who just invaded the facility is not a soldier of Usas." A man in a uniform similar to Amiya reported to Amiya. He was equipped with various knives and weapon bags, and he looked like he was very experienced. However, Juecheng was worried that the other party would make a clanging sound when running.
"Did we say our location have been exposed? Doctor, although I want to answer your questions, the current situation may not allow us to delay. Please evacuate with us now. I will explain the detailed situation on the way." Amiya took his hand and ran towards the other side without waiting for Juecheng to answer, while Dubin and the fully armed man stayed in the room and cut off their backs.
"boom!!"
Soon, an explosion came from behind, and the whole building seemed to be trembling, and the dust falling from the head could be seen with the naked eye.
"How are you there?"
"It's an integrated movement, Amiya! The enemy is equipped with heavy firepower weapons! You retreat first, we'll be there soon!" The voice of the man before came from the intercom.
"Are they coming for the doctor?" said the girl carrying a medical bag on the side uneasy.
"No, no one else knows about the existence of the doctor." Amiya denied the words of the girl beside her, then took out something like a cell phone and clicked a few times, "Doctor Kelsey, this is Amiya, please answer when you receive it."
After several consecutive words without answering, Amiya frowned.
"No, it seems that the equipment has stopped working. Something must have cut off the communication between us. Yue, has the Usas government discovered our whereabouts?" Amiya asked to the girl beside her.
"No, I just realized that it didn't seem to be there. Amiya, look at this." The girl next to her picked up a display screen and handed it to Amiya.
Juecheng also curiously came to the display screen, but the situation in front of him made him speechless.
The picture was obviously taken with devices such as small drones, and one of the buildings without a roof matched the room just now, but this was not the most important one.
The fire and the smoke and dust in the sky seemed to be burning, and even the sky was dyed red.
"This...this is..." Amiya looked at the screen in surprise and was stunned.
"Is this a riot?" Juecheng said at the right time, "Look at the place where there are many people holding banners walking around the city. Although the smoke is very thick, the red and blue light flashing in it is obviously military and police. If it is not a riot but a war, then I think it should be not just military and police who are dispatched."
"The doctor's analysis is correct. It seems that the actions of the integration movement are correct. Perhaps the situation is not as bad as we imagined. The encounter with the integration movement is just a coincidence." Turning his head to look at Juecheng, the surprise in Amiya's eyes was soon replaced by firmness.
"Doctor, Dr. Kelsey was not able to participate in the command of this operation now. I hope... you will take over."
Juecheng and the girl beside him were both stunned.
"Is this... going to be too risky? The doctor just now..." said the girl with a medical bag carrying an uneasy.
"I...I want to give it a try." Amiya looked at Juecheng's eyes and said seriously. "Although I lost my memory, the doctor did fight with us."
As he spoke, Amiya seemed to think of some past, and her expression became more and more firm.
To be continued...
