Blaise always felt that there was actually a part of the mysterious man's words that was not said.
"Keep living, you termites..." It seems like it should be followed by a sentence like "Not much longer."
Is this a hint of the end of the world?
Blaise fell into a state of intense delusion.
But what can we do?
Blaise himself is well aware of what kind of person he is. It may be an exaggeration to call him a scum, but he definitely deserves the title of villain.
At least they have snatched a lot of benefits from me, and have also done a lot of things to bully the weak.
For him and the two Mexican brothers he had seen with their own eyes today, the possibility of the existence of such a mysterious and hidden organization should be relatively high.
Now that I think about it, there were definitely quite a few people who had foresight. The fact that some canned foods and medical supplies were out of stock in supermarkets on several occasions was telling, even though the number of times was not that high if spread out throughout the year.
But they clearly showed disgust towards me!
Blaise is feeling a little uncomfortable now. For someone like him, if a big crisis really happens in the future, I'm afraid no one will choose to save him over saving others.
As for the government, given his dirty background, rescuing him might be seeking death.
If it were Blaise himself, if he was in such a panic and a destabilizing factor like a gangster came over, it would be better to kill him on the spot.
His dark logic is simple and crude, but it is not without reason. Just imagine how the US government handled disaster relief in recent years and you will know that this is absolutely possible.
In the excitement tonight, Blaise had too much psychological drama.
"Share it among you and buy some midnight snacks."
He handed the hundred-dollar bill in his hand to his younger brother and stopped thinking about it for the time being.
As it is a large bill that I seldom carry with me, I flipped through it out of habit to verify its authenticity and found something strange.
"Hey, why are there words on the money?"
"Are there any words? Bring it here so I can see it."
Blaise immediately asked for the money and took a closer look. They were not letters at all, but more like some symbols whose meanings were incomprehensible.
I looked at other large bills and found that there was one in every one of them.
"What are you looking at? Why can't I see it?"
One person's question surprised Blaise a little. At first he thought his younger brother had misunderstood, and pointed out to him that it was not a letter but a symbol, but something even stranger was coming.
In the whole house, only Blaise and the person who just discovered the symbol could see it, and the others thought they were joking.
Blaise and the Mexican boy looked at each other, feeling strange.
“The takeout from the fried chicken shop is here!”
The guy who was watching the surveillance upstairs shouted down, interrupting the "joke" below.
Because the eldest brother and his two brothers didn’t have dinner, they ordered some fried chicken, French fries and pizza.
“Ding Dong~”
The doorbell rang half a minute later.
The guy from the takeaway shop took the thermal box from the passenger seat of the car and waited outside the door.
The door opened, revealing a ferocious-looking bald man with tattoos.
"Uh... the total is $67.50. Credit cards are welcome."
The young man showed the POS machine and pen. No matter how many times he delivered goods to this store, he was still nervous every time he came.
"for you!"
The big man first took food such as fried chicken, pizza and French fries from his companions in the house, and then slapped a large bill to the delivery boy.
The young man looked down.
"Damn it, why is it another 100-yuan denomination... I don't usually see this once, but today it comes again, and I don't have enough change!"
"What? You want me to give you a tip?"
The bald man looked at the delivery man expressionlessly.
"No, no, no... I have some in my car. Wait a moment and I'll get it right away!"
If you order $67, you usually don't bring change. Many people will give the remaining three dollars as a tip. This is his experience and philosophy in delivering food, but if it's $30, people won't give you any.
After the delivery man gave the change and drove away as if escaping, the two brothers glanced outside vigilantly before closing the door.
"What's wrong? Why so noisy?"
Blaise was eating pizza and drinking beer, thinking about the symbols on the banknotes in his hand, and asked casually.
"Oh, that little bastard didn't bring enough change."
"Hahaha, it's really rare to pay 100 yuan for takeout. And then, did you pee your pants?"
The black man on the side joked.
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Everyone in the room started laughing, and the tense atmosphere of discussing the supernatural events just now disappeared.
"That's the kid from the Dili family. I know his father. I gave him a dozen dollars as a tip. But he complained about receiving two hundred-dollar bills in a short time while delivering food. He was very depressed. Hahaha."
"Why don't you give him the smaller denominations?"
"Haha, I don't know either. I just suddenly wanted to play a trick on little Dili!"
Everyone inside laughed knowingly. It was quite fun to play a trick on others by looking fierce occasionally.
Blaise picked up a piece of hot fried chicken and took a bite. Before he even chewed, he suddenly realized something.
"You just said that the fried chicken shop received two hundred-dollar bills. Was it tonight?"
"It wasn't me who said it, it was the kid from the Dili family who said it. I don't know if it happened tonight."
The younger brother was somewhat puzzled by the boss's abnormal behavior, but the others gradually reacted, and some even subconsciously took out the big bill from their pockets to take a look.
It's quite late now, and it's strange to pay with large-denomination banknotes when ordering takeout at this time, but it's also a bit coincidental.
…
At 10:30 in the evening, a large group of fierce men who looked like they were not to be trifled with arrived at the entrance of the Dili Fried Chicken Shop, and the leader was none other than Blaise.
When Xiao Dili saw this scene, he was so scared that he almost dropped the phone he was playing with.
"I'll give you the change you owe right away!"
Old Dili heard the noise in the kitchen backstage and came out. He was shocked by the scene, but fortunately there were some acquaintances among the crowd.
"Donnie, what's going on, is my son in trouble?"
The bald men came out to explain a few words to prevent people from thinking that they were here to demolish the store.
Blaise waited patiently for Donny to finish his explanation before he kindly asked them where the other hundred-dollar bill came from. It was as if he was tracking down stolen money from gangsters.
At this moment, he had a strong intuition in his heart that the two hundred-dollar bills came from the same place!
Old Dili immediately found the hundred-dollar bill and handed it to Blaise. There were indeed letters on it, even though no one else could see them except him and the other person.
Ten minutes later, Blaise got the answer he wanted.
"Floy Institute of Biological Studies", a name that had never been heard of, was exactly at the limit of the delivery range of the Dili Fried Chicken Shop, 5 kilometers away.
After struggling for a long time between going over tonight and waiting until tomorrow, Blaise finally restrained himself and decided to go over tomorrow to check.
…
The next day, it was only 6 o'clock in the morning and Blaise couldn't sleep.
He now felt like he was facing his first test in elementary school, or like he was on his first outing, a mixture of nervousness, excitement and uneasiness.
If you want to take a few big gambles in your life, the time is now, except when you first start to go astray!
That powerful force, that strange monster, and that mysterious figure lingered in Blaise's mind all night long!
The Highway 18 construction area was once prosperous, but this place cannot be considered lively in today's Riverside County.
The office building is obviously old, there are few vehicles going here, and there are not many busy shops.
When driving here, there is a clear feeling of entering the suburbs from the downtown area, or it can be said that this place is now part of the suburbs.
With the detailed address obtained from the fried chicken shop, it was easy to find the Floyd Institute of Biological Studies.
Outside the white walls, you can see the verdant environment inside through the large iron gate.
"This is really nice, but why does it feel like there are not many people here?"
McGee, who was brought along, regained his usual ease.
Blaise was also observing the place carefully. Looking inside from the iron gate, the area inside was not small, but the buildings stood there so lonely. No one was walking around in the entire park, and there was no sign of people living in the buildings.
"It's so lifeless, is this really a research institute?"
"Just ring the doorbell!"
Several people gathered around and searched for a long time but couldn't find the doorbell button.
"Walter? Is that the doorbell?"
McGee finally found the so-called doorbell of the gate. It was really a bell, a large copper bell connected to the side of the gate with a handle.
He looked at his boss, who nodded to him.
“Dang~~” “Dang~~” “Dang~~”
The doorbell rang clear yet heavy, and could be heard from far away.
After waiting for several minutes without seeing anyone come, McGee became a little impatient and was about to reach out and pull the doorbell.
“Ah~”
A sudden strange cry sounded above my head.
Several people looked up quickly and saw a dead branch of a big tree in the garden on the high wall not far away. A pitch-black crow was looking at them.
Although they were very far away, they seemed to be able to see some details of the crow. It tilted its head and stared at them motionlessly with its dark eyes.
“Ah~~”
There was another crow's cry, and when McGee tried to pull the doorbell again he started.
"Boss, this place is a bit weird, why don't we leave..."
I don’t know why, but ever since the crow appeared, everyone felt uneasy, as if the crow’s gaze was penetrating everything they knew.
