Crane's Ark of Tomorrow Daily

"That's good..." Hearing Li Ke's answer, Sergey patted his chest, and immediately relaxed.

Putting the wine bottle in his hand on the table, he asked, "So, what's the matter with you coming to me this time? It can't be just to inform me of the good news, right?"

The Sakota in front of him was stronger than the daughter of Alex and Ilya. He didn't think that this kind of person would come here to tell him a piece of unimportant news.

"Of course, I need your help with something." Li Ke nodded.

"...What's the matter, tell me."

"First, I need your help to activate the power furnace, and then move Chernobog to a safe location."

"No problem." Sergey readily agreed.

This is just a small matter, even if it is for his son and daughter, Sergey will help this, there is no reason at all.

"Second, after Boris' death, you should be the highest-status person in this city."

"For the time being." Sergey thought for a while, and replied, "People with titles above me have already received the news and ran away. Now I should be the highest in the city."

"Then that's great. Taking advantage of your status, I have one thing I want you to do."

"……What's up?"

Use his identity?What purpose can only be achieved by using his identity?Sergey suddenly had a very bad premonition.

"I need you to give a speech to all the residents of Chernobog." Li Ke stared at Sergey, watching his forced smile gradually solidify on his face.

"You... are trying to make me betray the empire." Sergey's voice seemed a little dry.

Sergey is a researcher who doesn't pay much attention to politics, and he is free in the cracks of various forces in the officialdom. Because of this, the ruling class of Chernobog will tacitly allow the secret key of the power furnace to be placed on him.

But Sergey is obviously not an idiot, and the speech...is not delicious at first glance.

"I don't and you don't need to say anything more, just tell everyone the truth, tell the citizens of Chernobog that Ursus abandoned them and treated them as abandoned children."

"..."

What Li Ke ushered in was Sergey's long silence.

After a long time, Sergey slowly raised his head and said, "I refuse, I don't want to be a thorn in the side of the empire."

Sergei is very clear about the consequences of doing so. He betrayed Ursus and destroyed the empire's plan. Not only would it not be of any benefit to him, but it would attract the most craziest and cruelest revenge from the empire.

Now he just wants to wait for all this to end, and then take his son and daughter away and find a small place to live incognito.After working as a royal researcher for Ursas for so many years, they still have some savings. If they save some money, it will be enough for their family to spend the rest of their lives.

He can't afford to spend everything in the future for this kind of thing.

"Is that so..."

It's not surprising that Sergey would choose this way, but unfortunately, Sergey has no right to refuse at all.

Therefore, Li Ke looked at Sergey with some pity, and said, "The reason why you refused is because you think you have a choice, but in fact...you only have to agree to me."

"What do you mean?" Sergey's face was a little ugly, and his voice couldn't help raising his voice, "Are you trying to force me? I won't give in!"

Anyway, it's a death anyway, and Sergey doesn't mind letting the other party see the Ursus's backbone at this time.

"How could it be? I have never done anything to persecute others." Li Ke spread his hands and laughed, "However, I don't think you know what happened in the city these days, otherwise you are would not say such a thing.”

"When you go out to drink, don't you feel that there are suddenly fewer people nearby?"

"?" Sergey frowned suspiciously.

It seems... just like what the other party said, there were not only a few people in the bar these two days, and even the bar was closed in the end, so he was forced to leave the bar.But because Sergey huddled in a corner and drank alcohol the whole time, he was decadent for several days and had no communication with other people at all, so in the end he didn't know what happened.

"Let me tell you," Li Ke shook his head slightly, and said, "After solving the problem of natural disasters, Chernobog is still facing a very serious problem. Starting four days ago, the entire city Within a few days, people have been falling into a deep sleep with unknown reasons, and now there is no way to wake up the sleeping person, even if it is death."

"According to the rough statistics of the integration movement, about one-fourth to one-third of the people in the city have fallen asleep, and this number is still increasing."

"You mean...Misha, Alex..." The expression on Sergey's face gradually changed from initial confusion to horror, "Could it be that they also..."

"You guessed right. Unfortunately, after returning to Chernobog, both of them fell into a deep sleep. That's why I say, if you want to save your children, you don't have to choice."

"Many members of the integration movement have fallen into a deep sleep. This is not something that can be solved by the integration movement. As long as you stand up, let's not say what you endorse for the integration movement. As long as you can stop the confrontation between the two sides in the city, then Asking for help in your capacity as deputy mayor, it is possible to save your children's lives."

"Do you understand what I said? Sleeping does not mean that there is no risk at all. If it is artificial, who knows what will happen later."

"Do I have any choice?" Sergey said bitterly, "I agree...but before that, I want to visit them first."

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

Going to see Broken Bone and Misha, this is a very simple request, because it won't waste too much time, Li Ke agreed without thinking too much.

As a father, how can you not worry about your children?If Sergey is not allowed to see them with his own eyes, Sergey may not honestly follow Li Ke's instructions.

So, Li Ke took Sergey back to the area that the doctor was in charge of.

When leaving, Li Ke told the doctor to get him out of the transport vehicle. After Li Ke and Sergey returned to the hospital, the doctor had already done this.

As a senior cadre of the integration movement, Broken Bones still has some preferential treatment. They don't have to be crowded in those simple tents outside like ordinary people. They have an independent ward in the hospital.

Led by a medical staff, Li Ke and Sergey came to the broken bone ward.The clothes on their bodies have been treated briefly, and the dirty overcoat on Misha's body has also been taken off and thrown away, but the black gas mask is still buttoned on the broken bone face.

"Misha... as long as you're fine. Just take a good rest for a few days. Don't worry, Dad will save you."

There was not much change before seeing Misha and leaving, and there were no more wounds on his body. After Sergey stroked Misha's cheek for a while, he shifted his gaze to the broken bone body.

After a little hesitation, Sergei took off the gas mask on the face of the broken bone.If Broken Bone was still awake, Sergey might have to eat two more Originium bombs.
