Chapter 22

A round of tomorrow hanging in the air reflects the earth, the rising heat also makes the road in the car look like some double shadow.

Kent and his party's pickup truck had the air conditioner turned on. Everyone felt warm, but they all felt cool.

Laura said that she doesn't eat snacks, but she is still very honest. She is playing online games with Ashley and jean with their mobile phones, and eating potato chips that Kent gave her.

Simon is still silent with his skull mask, and he is driving with all his heart, while Kent is listening attentively to quell.

Quill frowned slightly, put away the tablet computer, squeezed his chin in one hand and said, "it was said that there seemed to be something in this relic before, and then it was strictly controlled, and then it came across this unprecedented epidemic. I feel that this is absolutely not a coincidence."

"Humm..." Kent was also silent. He didn't know much about the political system of the world. However, it seems that only the northern hemisphere was affected by the disaster on Mars, and most of the small and medium-sized towns in the northern hemisphere fell into grad's hands.

So Kent said in a deep voice, "Professor, if, I say, if the virus was found in the ruins, and then the government indirectly wiped out the population of the northern hemisphere of Mars through the hand of the virus?"

"Here it is Quill opened his eyes wide and didn't want to believe that Kent would say this, but quill thought for a moment and said:

"I'm just an archaeologist. I don't know much about biology or chemistry. However, from my point of view, the virus that caused the epidemic probably came from that relic, but I only went to the scene to explore, To know the truth. "

"Indeed, it's useless for us to analyze here." Kent said.

"Well?" Quill looked at Kent and asked, "why do you say it's a government conspiracy?"

"This..." Kent pondered for a long time and could not say why.

He only learned from Simon that most of the small and medium-sized towns in the north of Mars fall into the hands of grad, and the government can not effectively solve this problem.

But what if we dig out the remains and find this highly infectious virus?

The government is likely to destroy the northern hemisphere of Mars by manipulating this "natural disaster". After all, the north is very backward.

Instead of being dragged down by these poor people, it is better to directly wipe out Mars. This is indeed the right choice from the political and economic standpoint.

At this moment, Simon, who had been silent, suddenly said in a deep voice, "what Kent said is not reasonable.

When I was serving on Mars before, it revealed the plan of sweeping the northern hemisphere. However, it seemed that grad had reached some agreement with the top management of the Martian government, so he finally cancelled the plan that would lead to an all-out war.

However, in this zombie crisis, only the backward northern hemisphere has suffered the most, while the relatively prosperous southern hemisphere has not been affected at all. It's strange to think about this

"No... no, shouldn't the government think for the people? How can... How can... "Quill can't set the channel.

Although quill has a high academic status, he knows nothing about politics. In other words, quill is just a simple scholar and does not believe that the government will do such inhuman things.

"Not necessarily." Kent waved his hand and said, "of course, it's all speculation. No one knows the real reason. After all, Professor, you said that you can find out the reason only when you go to the site, right?"

"Well, I can't come to some conclusions until I do on-site exploration." Quell nodded and said, "however, this aspect of the virus needs to be studied by biologists."

--------------------------------------------

Kent and his party are almost unimpeded on the highway to the south of Mars. Even if they encounter zombies on the road, they are only scattered.

Coupled with the unique geographical reasons of Mars, the ocean between the northern and southern hemispheres is not blocked like the earth, so driving along the high speed can drive from the north to the south.

In just two days, Kent and his party moved from Latitude 20 north ° Phoenix passed the equator of Mars, and it took only half a day to reach latitude 10 ° Around the city of polisca.

But when crossing the equator, Kent and others are not the only ones on the highway. There are more and more vehicles on the road, and the survivors are also rushing to the south of Mars.

Even if the number of survivors increases, the road is still open and there will be no congestion, because the survivors are only a few in the minority.

Before entering the residential areas of the southern hemisphere, there were real troops on the highway to check, and there were fortification walls to block the traffic arteriesIt seems that all these things have been prepared, otherwise the south of Mars would not have made an emergency response so soon.

Of course, Kent is not in the government. He only cares about going to poliska and becoming a mercenary, or his second brother will not be protected.

...

Kent sat in the co pilot's seat, pointed to ak-12 and scar-l, and asked Simon, "how do you explain this to the army later?"

Looking ahead from the inside of the car, there is a military checkpoint not far from the view.

Between Kent and others and the checkpoint, there are three or four other survivors' vehicles waiting in line for inspection.

"It's for home use." Simon said faintly.

At this time, Simon, who had taken off his ghost mask, just shrugged and didn't care about the checkpoint in front of him.

"Hello." Kent picked up the scar-l, knocked on the grenade launcher, and frowned, "can civilians buy these? Plus we still have more than 300000 yuan in cash. "

"Simon didn't know how to answer.

Just then, however, quill shook his hand and said, "Kent, you can say you're our armed escort."

"Oh?" Kent looked back at quell and asked, "can armed guards legally hold heavy weapons?"

"Well... I don't know the weapon requirements of armed guards, but I can say that Oxford University hired you to protect us to go to the ruins for archaeology, so that we can reasonably explain the origin of your cash." Quill suggested.

During this period, quill and his students were very familiar with Kent and others. Although they didn't ask what happened to the bag of cash, they all knew that the cash was taken from the grad organization.

As for Kent, it's because quill, Ashley and Jean have contributed 10 trust points to him.

With the plug-in of the system, he can also be sure that quell and they are absolutely well intentioned.

"Well, that's the only way." Kent nodded and agreed that there was no better reason than that
