Chapter 820 Heart Knot 2

As a world-renowned veteran scholar, His Excellency Russell had a better life than ordinary people during the catastrophe. Although he was also hungry, experienced displacement and fear, and was on the brink of death, the rulers valued him very much. The worst time was when he was caught as a slave when he escaped not long ago.

In fact, the slave catchers didn't want Russell, an old man who seemed useless. It was Russell who said he was important, so he was arrested. As a result, the old Harris who caught up with him killed two of his men in order to catch him.

And now Russell still maintains his arrogance. He persuades his students not to serve the brutal dictator, but to follow him to the righteous leader of freedom and democracy.

But the dozen or so male and female students in the restaurant all looked at each other in blank dismay. They had been working at Bell Labs. No matter how the outside world changes, every ruler who occupies New Jersey treats them well. They only learn about the outside world from various indirect sources of information.

There are wars everywhere outside, people die every day outside, and chaos and disorder outside. The researchers in the laboratory maintain great fear of the outside world, but what is it like outside the laboratory? No one knows.

It wasn't until Bell Labs was placed under the ownership of the "Aurora Legion" that a large number of high-end researchers were packed away together with various research equipment, and old man Russell temporarily rebelled and fled. His students didn't know what hell on earth is.

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

Now that old man Russell said that he was leaving, the students who had just had a peaceful meal all cried out—they really didn’t want to run around outside anymore. A world without a sense of security is simply an abyss of despair.

But the old man Russell doesn’t think so, “We will find a suitable new home, and there will definitely be a strong and just organization that needs us. We can restart research and dedicate ourselves to the scientific cause of mankind. We should look for a bright future. "

The old man had a full stomach, and his voice was a little louder, and his short speech seemed to be full of enthusiasm, but..., there were very few people who responded. There were quite a few people dining together in the restaurant of the passenger ship, and everyone looked at the old man like an idiot, at most drooling over the rich food on the old man's plate.

And at this moment, with a bang, a dinner plate fell opposite the old man Russell, and the old Harris with a livid face sat down. He said with a sarcasm: "Mr. Russell, do you feel that you are more important than others? So you don't care about other people's lives at all."

"No! I didn't mean that. I'm not targeting you. I know that you just have to serve the tyrant. In fact, I should thank you for saving me, although I don't need it." The old man Russell said firmly: "I just don't Willing to work for a brutal yellow-skinned monkey."

"The yellow-skinned monkey in your mouth has saved many people. He is strong enough to shelter hundreds of thousands of people to live in peace. If it is not possible, everyone here has no choice. So what if he can serve the tyrant? At least our legion leader agrees. My own people are pretty good.

You should go and see how many people are out there trying to get on a passenger ship to Havana, you should go and experience the collective desperation of hundreds and thousands of people. It is your luck that the Legion values ​​your talents. "

After the old Harris finished speaking, he picked up his dinner plate and got up to leave. Russell was stunned for a while, but still stubbornly shouted: "I know you are trying to convince me, isn't it just for the reward of 10,000 gold coins? You are just a running dog of a tyrant, and I will not let you do what you want."

The atmosphere became tense and awkward. After finishing the food on the dinner plate, the old man Russell urged his students to follow him, "We must leave here immediately, lest things change."

A dozen or so students looked at me and at you, hesitated for a long time before standing up slowly and then got off the passenger ship again. The old man Russell found Clooney again, and first thanked him for the dinner,

Then he asked carelessly: "Arrange a car, driver, and guard for us, we are leaving."

Clooney had a smirk on his face, "Dear Mr. Russell, I am happy to serve you. But the cars, drivers, and guards are all the property of the Legion and can only serve the Legion personnel.

And you refused to join us, so we can at most provide you with a dinner out of humanitarianism, and you need to settle the rest by yourself. "

"Hmph..., I knew you wouldn't let me leave happily. But I still refuse to serve a tyrant." Russell was proud and refused to give in.

Clooney didn't care, instead he said softly: "It's okay, you are free, I can help you contact the fraternity in New York, maybe they are willing to send someone to pick you up."

"Well, the fraternity in New York is an orthodox American organization." Russell felt that he could accept this arrangement.

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

Fewer than 10% of the people who could get the tickets were extremely chaotic, with some begging, cursing, and crying bitterly.

There is no killing, no blood, only cold rejection here. It's chilling to see how many people cry out in despair after being rejected.

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

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

"Are you going to watch us die here? For God's sake, can you have some mercy? Even if you don't let me go on board, at least let my children go on board?"

Every cry is heartbreaking. Some people collapsed and jumped into the sea after being rejected, but no one came to rescue them. Only after the person drowned did the guards pick up the body.

This cruel and merciless scene was simply the most terrifying nightmare. Russell's students turned pale, their bodies shook, and cold sweat dripped from their foreheads. One of the students couldn't stand the scene, so he cried and turned around and ran towards the passenger ship.

"Let me on board, let me on board right away, I am an A+ level person, and I am willing to swear allegiance to Commander Hugo. Please let me get out of here, I really can't stand it." The student almost cried To surrender.

He was said to be a student, but he was actually a postdoctoral fellow in his forties, and he immediately received the best treatment. And in order to appease the other party, Clooney even reminded him that in addition to his own family members, he could also select some people from the refugees as followers to satisfy his desire to save the world.

And with such a role model taking the lead, the other students under Russell were immediately shaken. At this time, who wants to follow the stubborn old man to have a blast on the pier? Hurry up and take the whole family on board!

In the end, more than a dozen students dispersed, leaving only Russell standing by the pier in a daze. But the old man still refused to bow his head, and kept muttering: "Well, I understand these poor children. They are all frightened by the psychological tactics imposed by the tyrant. Alas... let them go!"

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

"Why didn't the New York fraternity send someone to get me?"

"Oh..., they refused five hours ago. Because according to the agreement between the 'Aurora Legion' and the New York Brotherhood, Bell Labs' personnel and equipment belong to the Legion, and they don't want to break the agreement and cause unnecessary misunderstandings. "

The "Kennedy" aircraft carrier is still floating in the sea, it is not good to misunderstand.

Russell was stunned, and then shouted angrily: "Since there is news, why didn't you notify me? You just made me, an old man who is 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 notify you?"

Finally... In the end, Mr. Russell, who was cold and hungry, lost all his students, and his value was greatly reduced, had to resign himself to his fate and boarded the ship.

When he saw his students again, he shrugged embarrassingly and said: "I just look at the refugees on the pier, they are really pitiful, I reached some agreement with the 'Aurora Legion', in order to save them, I turned to the tyrant.

And I feel that as a team, if you don't have my experience and guidance, I'm afraid you won't be able to display your talents in the legion. And if I, a professor, do not have suitable assistants, I cannot continue my research work.

I admit that I have some hesitation about working for the "Aurora Legion". My heart is for the United States, but no one in the United States cares about me. I apologize for my wrong words earlier. So... I had to board the ship as a last resort. "

All the dozen or so students rolled their eyes - if they had known this before, why bother? .
