Rhode Island Park Project

Not only did I not lose money, it seemed like I would even make a huge profit!

He quickly turned around and looked at Alina, who also had her lips slightly open and looked at Tallulah in a daze, and immediately took the upper hand.

"So, it's 2 vs. 1 now? Even Tallulah doesn't mind~"

Alina looked as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.

Tallulah doesn't mind, but I'm embarrassed!

If we really let this big bad wolf in, can we really expect him to just help deal with the hair?

It would be fine if it was just her and Luo Hang, but if Tallulah is dragged into this, tonight is going to be a real mess.

"Have you really thought it through, Tallulah?"

She reluctantly reassured Tallulah, "It's okay for me to leave my space to you tonight."

Tallulah immediately shook her head.

"How could I kick you out of your room, Alina? Tonight should have been your time with Mr. Luo Hang."

Alina opened her mouth.

I'm very happy that you are willing to consider me in this way, but the question is, is there something wrong?

"We've reached the room! Based on the current situation, that's settled!"

Luo Hang announced loudly at this time.

Why so fast!

Only then did she realize that she was almost half pushed and half hugged by Luo Hang as she jogged here, and she was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

Man...

Seeing the door open in front of her, Alina knew that she couldn't escape today.

"It's probably going to be a bit crowded in the bathroom with three people, right?"

"It's warmer that way~"

"Don't be so anxious to undress me! The clothes I need to change into aren't even ready yet!"

"Uh, my clothes are ready."

Tallulah opened the closet and took out the change of clothes she had placed there in advance.

After all, it was decided in the morning.

But Alina was still speechless.

"Whose side are you on?"

"Ahaha, I mean, I'll go in first...you two take your time!"

"—?"

Alina watched dumbfoundedly as Tallulah flashed into the bathroom, leaving her alone in Luo Hang's arms.

--traitor!

Is this the friendship we promised each other?!

She angrily slapped Luo Hang's thigh behind her.

"Let's go in too!"

"Hmm? Okay then, let's wait a few seconds."

Luo Hang smiled wickedly, and after counting quietly with the deer in his arms who also understood the situation, he suddenly said, "Tallulah, let's come in too~!"

"Hey hey?! Wait, I just took off my clothes-!"

Chapter 70 They Need a Speech

[Increase of Operator Trust]

Tallulah

Current trust: 213 (2↑)

"Aha……"

When I woke up early in the morning, I saw this prompt on the panel in front of me. Two soft and warm bodies filled my arms in the quilt, with their hair curled up by my ears and a quiet warm current blowing.

He blinked, and his consciousness came to a beautiful new day.

"Is it time to get up?"

"Hmm?"

"what……"

Awakened by the shouts and the movements around them, the two girls in the quilt also made confused sounds one after another. Then, under Luo Hang's tossing and turning, they were forced to wake up with the sound of playfulness and climbed out of the quilt one by one.

Unlike the day before, the three people, whose relationship had changed, were not even wearing pajamas this time.

Stepping over the scattered clothes, they picked up the clothes folded aside last night and put them on. The three people standing at the door of the room returned to the image of Dr. Rhodes Island and the two reliable operators.

"Do your best today, both of you."

Alina straightened his collar and kissed him on the cheek with a smile. Tallulah, who was a little embarrassed beside her, also followed suit and left a faint warm mark on his other cheek.

A new day of work officially begins.

Of course, having said that, he and Tallulah still went to have breakfast before starting to prepare for work.

"The work of gathering personnel should be completed in the next two days. According to reports, only a small number of scattered personnel are left. The number of people currently gathered in our urban area has accounted for the vast majority.

Although Lin and others are doing their best to appease the public, in order to avoid possible unrest, we probably need to let people know who will govern them in the future as soon as possible and give them some promises that can reassure them.

In the conference room, Amiya, who already had a very reliable demeanor, brought the latest news.

"When will Kelsey and the Patriot arrive?"

Luo Hang asked.

"Dr. Kel'tsit just confirmed with us this morning that she and the Patriot team should arrive at our ship before 12 noon."

Amiya answered immediately.

"Is that so? Then let's set it for one o'clock in the afternoon."

Luo Hang tapped the table lightly. "Patriots and those who escaped from Chernobyl need to hear our views. We must also ensure that our words reach the ears of everyone who will be affected by us."

"I understand, Doctor."

Amiya nodded seriously.

"Don't be too nervous."

Luo Hang looked at the nervous little rabbit in front of him and couldn't help but smile teasingly, "Leave the deception to me. Tallulah will take the responsibility. Amiya, you just need to read out the plan we have prepared verbatim."

"Eh, are you kidding me? Doctor, that's not a good idea... And the responsibility for this incident isn't entirely on Miss Tallulah..."

The innocent little rabbit showed a very cute reaction.

"Ha ha,"

He couldn't help laughing. "No matter how good the words sound, before the promise is fulfilled, the essence is just to make the listeners believe it out of thin air, which is no different from deceiving people.

However, Tallulah's responsibility only accounts for a small part. I will take on the rest, so don't worry."

"Doctor, don't force yourself. I will stand with you."

Amiya showed a worried and serious look, "And Dr. Kal'tsit and everyone, the operators of Rhodes Island will support you, Doctor."

"Well, our little Amiya is really getting better at talking."

He patted the little girl's head with a smile, but without any worry, he raised the corner of his mouth and said, "However, based on this little situation now, there is no need to worry about me."

He looked out the window at the city with tall buildings.

"You have to understand that what we are facing now is not the surging tide of people who conquered Chernobyl, but a group of losers who have lost their direction and fighting spirit, and another group of abandoned people who have been abandoned by their own city and home."

"It's not that we need them, but they need someone to give them hope and direction."

"—they need a speech."

***

One p.m.

The crowds occupying the streets and alleys of the city are gathering towards the auditorium square in the center of the city. Even more people are scattered in the streets and alleys, gathering in front of the TVs in bars, in front of the screens on the street, and in front of the old radios at home.

There weren't that many people gathering around the voice coming from everywhere, but the voice that exuded a strong appeal, as well as the reality and beautiful vision expressed in the words, eventually made more and more people who felt the same involuntarily approach it.

Here’s what it says:

"...when we act, we must ensure that we move forward. We cannot move backward. Some people are asking civil rights enthusiasts today, 'When will you be satisfied?'"

We will never be satisfied as long as those infected continue to suffer unspeakable brutality.

We can never be satisfied as long as our travel-weary bodies cannot find lodging in the motels along the highways and the hotels in the cities.

We will never be satisfied as long as the basic range of movement of the infected is from small ghettos where ethnic minorities live to larger ghettos.

As long as there is an infected person in Dayan who cannot participate in the science elections, as long as there is an infected person in Columbia who believes that his vote will not help, we will never be satisfied.

No! We are not satisfied now, and we will not be satisfied in the future, unless justice and fairness come like the waves of the sea and river, surging and rolling in.

I am not unmindful that some of you gathered here today have suffered immensely; some have just emerged from cramped prison cells; some, seeking freedom, have been battered by the ravages of persecution in their homelands, tottering in the whirlwinds of police brutality. You are the long-sufferers of man-made suffering. Persevere, and have the unwavering faith that one day this situation can and will change.

Lin, with his arms folded and pink hair swaying, leaned silently against the street corner. The green-haired ghost inspector and Missy, who was carrying a bag, were also dressed casually and sat quietly opposite each other in a street cafe. The former inspector, dressed in a hospital gown, slowly moved into the sunlight in a wheelchair.

A high school student from Ursus, a soldier from Bolivar, a wandering apostle, an employee who had left the company, a patient seeking medical treatment—

Everyone was listening quietly to the voice.

The high-ranking consul also stood in the luxurious office, gazing at the distant city through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, and words came from the screen on the wall.

"My friends, today I tell you that despite all the difficulties and setbacks we face now and in the future, I still have a dream.

I have a dream that one day this land will be truly alive to the words of our time: 'We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal.'

I dream that one day, on the Gallic ruins of Victoria, the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood.

I have a dream that one day even Bolivar, a place ravaged by injustice and embroiled in civil war, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice.

I have a dream that one day my four little children will live in a nation where they will not be judged by their race or whether they have an infection or not, but by the content of their character.

I have a dream today.

I dream that one day..."

Chapter 71: There is hope for paradise!

“…I once traveled with the Reunion Movement, but I eventually left the group.

Why? The answer is clear today.

I never deny anyone the right to revenge and anger, but after hatred, everyone needs to return to life. This is more difficult than revenge, but also more important.

Revenge may only take a few hours or days, but even the destruction of a city like Chernobyl will not be a sad news that stays in people's minds for several months, and the people who lost their lives will never be able to bring anything back.

Only if we are still alive, even under endless oppression and violence, we still live on this land, and even build our own homes with our own hands, and live better and richer than those who once oppressed us, can they be forced to look at us every day and be jealous and angry to the point of going crazy.

Only if we live better than them, one day even those who are oppressed outside this city will be able to point at the perpetrators in front of them and laugh at their ugly jealousy.

I stopped the Integration Movement not because I was an enemy of the Integration Movement or an enemy of a group of people facing injustice, but because I wanted everyone to see a more distant and hopeful path in the future.

The former leader of the Integration Movement is now standing here. We have sacrificed enough for hatred, and what we should face next is the future life.

I can't decide whether revenge is right or wrong, but now, under the supervision of me and everyone else, Tallulah will pay with blood and sweat for our future life. I sincerely hope that this can become everyone's choice..."

……

This was what Luo Hang had promised Tallulah before - they would shoulder this responsibility together.

The immortal black snake was too far away for people who could barely make ends meet. In comparison, Luo Hang directly interpreted this fight as a confrontation between different ideologies of both sides.
