Chapter 112: Rush
When I opened the door, an anxious woman from the neighborhood committee rushed in, cursing.
"It's already this late, why are you still dawdling? Hold on tight..."
As the aunt said this, she pushed Colin's wheelchair out, quickly came to the fire escape, and ran directly down the slide next to the stairs.
There were other people nearby who helped and held him back from going too fast.
But even if I held on firmly, the wheelchair almost slipped out of my hands several times.
"You guys are really into the role..."
Ke Lin felt the wheelchair quickly sliding down the stairs. His eyelids twitched wildly and he almost fell off several times...
Although with his current physical condition, he would be fine even if he jumped from the fifth floor, but the drifting in the stairwell made him hold his breath and dare not exhale.
Fortunately, he lived on the sixth floor, which was not very high. After turning a few corners, he arrived at the first floor...
Then, Colin pushed Kuangbiao to the park.
At this moment, a large number of people have gathered in the park, but they are all discussing this novel exercise with a grin, and obviously do not take it seriously.
It can be said that as long as the patients were not in the ICU or were really unable to leave the hospital bed, everyone who could participate participated.
Of course, the most important thing is that you can take a paid break by participating in this exercise...
At this moment, Colin's heart skipped a beat as he sensed a group of people walking towards him with steady steps, wearing black uniforms, and clearly different from the others.
Just when Colin was wondering if he had been exposed, he saw this group of people passing by him and heading in another direction...
Looking in the direction they were moving, Colin saw that there seemed to be people arguing there.
Obviously, not everyone was willing to participate in the protective drill. However, when they still refused to cooperate after three warnings, they were simply forced into the car and sent to another place.
Without looking further, Colin withdrew his gaze from the people who were being pushed into the police car.
Then, he moved his eyes slightly, looked across the crowd, and raised them slightly...
"The more people there are, the thicker it seems. But I can't feel anything about this 'thread' connecting me. I don't feel what it draws from me, nor do I feel what I gain from it. So what's the point of doing this?"
Colin pondered, wondering what this thing was for.
He knew that this thing was not simple and must have been made by the relevant departments, but he didn't know what it was used for...
But from this perspective, the authorities do have some incredible means at their disposal.
The only thing that made Colin feel relieved was that he didn't seem to have been discovered by the authorities...
"It seems that this thing should not be able to read people's memories or something, otherwise the neighborhood committee lady who knocked on the door just now and asked me to participate in the play should be replaced by the community to send warmth."
Colin grumbled in his heart, and then, with the encouragement of the auntie from the neighborhood committee, he was placed in an area for the "elderly, weak, sick and disabled".
In addition to him, there are many people who are in wheelchairs or cannot take care of themselves...
Looking at these people here, Colin suddenly felt a little guilty, because the "elderly, weak, sick and disabled" area was obviously much more spacious and cooler than other places.
At this time, a volunteer handed over a bottle of mineral water. Colin took it and thanked him, but did not open it. Then he heard the volunteer kindly ask: "Do you need my help to unscrew it... Eh? Why is it you..."
Colin turned his head and saw, oh, what a coincidence, this is the girl who wanted to help him cross the threshold not long ago.
The girl with the "Volunteer" armband on her arm widened her eyes, as if to say, "Aren't your legs okay?"
The atmosphere suddenly became awkward...
"you……"
"I have ALS."
Colin told the truth and lifted up his trouser legs, revealing his slightly skinny calves.
Although he has taken three doses of gene compensation drugs, his body has not recovered quickly after a year of suffering from ALS, so he still looks a little thin.
Of course, when he really gets into action, he can run 2,000 meters in a sprint without even taking a breath.
"I'm sorry, I thought..."
The girl scratched her head and changed the subject awkwardly: "You, do you want me to help you unscrew the bottle cap?"
"Need not……"
Colin opened the water and took a sip. After the other person left, he shook his head, feeling an indescribable strange feeling in his heart.
Then, with a not-so-strong sense of guilt, I sat there until about four o'clock, when the exercise finally ended.
"For the next month, we will conduct drills every Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday. The time will remain the same. Everyone should be mentally prepared..."
At the entrance of the park, a loud speaker played the next earthquake drill plan over and over again.
With the "help" of the girl, Colin returned to his room - originally it was an aunt from the neighborhood committee who came to help, but when she saw the girl coming over on her own initiative, the aunt stepped aside with a look of dismay.
"Room 604, Building B? I'll help you during the drill. I'm sorry for today..."
"No problem, thank you."
Colin waved his hand and slammed the door shut. After the people had gone far away, he tapped the armrests of his wheelchair with the backs of his fingers, as if he was thinking.
"There shouldn't be anything wrong with him. I don't sense any ill intentions, nor does he have any special characteristics. He shouldn't be an employee of another company. From his outward behavior, I can't detect any problems... Or is he just a good person?"
If today's topic ended with unscrewing the bottle cap, Colin might not have too many thoughts. At most, he would sigh that he hadn't met such a kind and enthusiastic person for a long time.
But then I came closer...
He suddenly became alert and suspected that the other party had bad intentions.
The "dark forest" law in the company and his recent "revealing" made him somewhat sensitive, and he couldn't help but doubt her behavior.
After all, in Colin's opinion, even company employees with official backgrounds are not necessarily safe.
If he doesn't have anything on him, the key point is that he is now in a state of "being guilty of possessing a treasure".
Just the two pieces of equipment, "Time·Stagnation" and "Revolver·Retrograde", are enough to make some people jealous and do things against the rules.
"I only have F-level clearance now, and my hard power is not enough. If I am really discovered, many of my high-value items may be stolen."
"For others, being stripped naked would at most lead to depression and failure, but for me it is fatal. After all, I still have so many high-risk missions..."
"And they certainly wouldn't want to see me using something of such 'great value' to do an Advent Project or something..."
Colin felt as if he was engaging in a battle of wits with the air, but after thinking about the possible consequences, he felt that he could never be overly vigilant.
However, thinking about what happened today, I still didn't find much...
"Forget it, let's put some traps in the room, think about how to escape, and be careful. You won't kill anyone because of something like this, right?"
Colin let out a breath and didn't think about it any further, because thinking further would lead to an endless chain of suspicion.
