Chapter 34: Adrian's Melancholy

On November 20, 2012, at 12:29 noon, Adrian's alarm clock rang on time, and the crisp and high-pitched ringtone filled the entire room. The turbid air in the room seemed to be shaken by the ringtone and showed a faint ripples.

Adrian woke up after just 28 minutes of sleep.

His eyes were frighteningly red.

The whites of the eyes were covered with bloodshots, and the rest was dyed with a layer of red; the deep dark brown pupils of the past spread slightly, making them look a little unsightly.

Even in his sleep, his brows were gathered together and squeezed into a ball. With the face full of anxiety and worry, anyone could see the intense anxiety and worries that filled his body and mind at a glance.

This is a person who is extremely haggard.

After the "Miracle" Rebellion on No. 2, Thomas and others lost their corresponding memories, but Adrian did not.

With that "miracle" blessing, he became the only one in the world who knew that this so-called "apocalypse" was not as simple as a natural disaster!

And compared to natural disasters, "man-made disasters" are often more terrifying!!

Not to mention, this destruction of the earth is not just a mixture of natural disasters and man-made disasters. The tip of the iceberg hidden in the "man-made disasters" is already scary and uncontrollable!!

However, although he was very scared, Adrian had an impulse-

Do your best to save as many people as possible!!

Therefore, after Washington resumed "calmness", Adrian found an excuse to come to the Qing Dynasty and Zhuoming Valley in western Tibet.

Originally, he was just thinking of using his name as a "famous scientist" in the United States to find a way to do something in this place where the boat of human life is hidden. Who knew that things had changed dramatically.

The three parties of the US military, politics and law reached an agreement for some reason, and actually made him - Adrian Hurmouris - the highest guidance of the United States in Zooming Valley, representing the United States with plenipotential power!

This order shocked countless people, including Adrian himself.

Despite all these days, he has gradually become accustomed to his new identity. However, when he remembered the "strange" expression of his boss when he tried to make excuses to go to Zhuoming Valley that day and the scene where Thomas and others saw him off before he left Washington, Adrian was still a little confused.

It was faintly true that all this was inseparable from his "special ability" to preserve the memory of that day...

…………

When the alarm clock rings for the third time, the pupils that are unfocused slightly condensed. Adrian sat up and pressed it off.

He started to go into the room to rest at 11:57, took two minutes to solve some chores, and then fell asleep. Until now, he had just slept for half an hour.

In fact, since being appointed as the highest executive of the United States in Zhuoming Valley, Adrian has less than four hours of rest every day, and he wants to break every second into half. In this way, even the "desperate Saburo" has made the senior officials of the countries in Zhuoming Valley amazed.

If it weren't for his physical body that could not bear it, I'm afraid he wouldn't even want to have a half-hour "lunch break".

He stood up in a daze, turned on the faucet as fast as possible, and the clear water poured out, and the stimulation brought by the slightly cool water slightly reduced his mind.

Adrian was so tired that he had to soak his entire head in water, and then he became more energetic.

After drying his face, rubbing his face, and exhaling a long breath, Adrian opened the door again and walked out of his room.

Zhuoming Valley can be roughly divided into two parts.

First, where countless people work hard three shifts a day, it is also where Noah’s Ark is stored;

The second is the living area.

Of course, this "living and residential area" can also be divided into two parts, including two-thirds of the area where workers and soldiers live, and the other one-third are the places where senior political leaders of various countries, elites and wealthy people all over the world are located.

As the nominal top executive of the United States, Adrian was assigned to a separate villa and several spacious and bright offices.

However, he has never been to Zhuoming Valley since he arrived.

He has always lived in Zhuoming Valley, ate and lived with countless workers, truly "fighting on the front line" and "sharing the joys and sorrows" with the people. After so many days, he basically knew all the information about Noah's Ark plan.

"Dr. Adrian!" "Hello Doctor!"

"Doctor, why are you up? Why don't you take a little longer?"

"Yes, Doctor, look in the mirror yourself to see how haggard you are!"

Everyone who saw Adrian greeted him one after another. Those who were familiar with him felt very heartbroken when they saw his extremely tired appearance, and even felt a little "gripping their teeth".

His reputation is very high. It is not because of his scientific achievements, nor is it because of his exaggerated identity at this moment, but because everyone sees and keeps everything he has done these days.

It is said that people's hearts are seen in times of danger, and at the same time, people are more eager for "heroes" in their hearts.

There is no doubt that Adrian has become a "hero" in the minds of many people, and is a living existence living by his side. He is more intimate and more concerned.

The day before yesterday, someone really couldn't stand it anymore, so they joined forces with several people to use extreme means to put sleeping pills into the water he drank!

Afterwards, Adrian suppressed his heart's touch and scolded them angrily.

However, it was precisely because of that sweet sleep that he was able to hold on until now that he had not fallen.

You know, in just over a dozen days, Adrian lost at least thirty pounds!!

Although he was not thin before, he was definitely not as thin as the word "fat".

Faced with the love and pain suggestions from these newly made friends, Adrien smiled slightly, swallowed his dry throat, and said in a sandy voice: "Okay, don't talk about gossip during working hours."

"Sayah, how are you doing now?" Adrian turned his eyes to a beautiful petite woman.

A Japanese woman named Saya from the border town quietly took back her admiring and distressed gaze and reported with a serious face: "Dr. Adrian, the first batch of ten arks completed have completed the last round of commissioning, the second batch of thirty arks have been laid, five of which have completed the basic structure, and the other fifteen are under full construction, but there is still some time before the completion date."

[PS: In the original "Plot", there were only ten arks, and in the end, only less than half completed, an important reason should be that they could only do it secretly (personal opinion). In this world, the world order has basically collapsed, and the coalition government has invested all the property and materials of all mankind into this project, which will definitely produce different results. In addition, with the secret help from the guardians (technical support, etc.), it is not surprising that such a relatively "exaggerated" result will be achieved. Of course, for the needs of this story plot, this number is still a bit exaggerated]

"Can you tell me the specific progress?" Adrian was silent for a moment, rubbed his eyebrows heavily, his heart full of anxiety.

"Okay." Sayya held the mirror frame and said softly, "Ark 16, it has been completed...Ark 17...Ark 30..."

To be honest, the current progress is really not slow, and even the most demanding engineers blame this point. After all, it has been less than two full-term since the news leaked.

However, in Adrien's heart, it was still too slow! too slow!!! too slow!!!

Reason told him that the progress was very fast, but he still couldn't help but want to be faster! Faster!! Faster!!!

His heart was filled with a strange and even a bit nervous, inexplicably nervous feeling, as if the next moment was the end of the world. He wished that in a blink of an eye, hundreds or thousands of Noah's Ark would appear in front of him.

Sayya's voice stopped, and the small and somewhat simple office was silent.

Everyone was happy because such a progress was inseparable from their contribution, but seeing Adrian's brows with deep brows, no one could bear to smile.

At this moment, a knock on the door sounded, and then the faintly hidden door was pushed open, and a man leaned in half: "Dr. Adrian, General Kim San Leon is visiting and is waiting in the front hall."

Hearing the name, Adrian showed a somewhat "quirky" expression.

He was very happy and a little excited.

This is because the general Kim San Estate who came to North Korea provided great help to him.

To be honest, without the generous help of Kim San Estate, the second batch of thirty arks would never have had such an exaggerated progress. It would be amazing to be able to complete the laying of keels!

Therefore, everyone in this office was full of favor for this young and mysterious "General Jin".

In peacetime, North Korea is a mysterious country for them, but this "mysterious" tends to be more negative due to some actions of the country's government and the propaganda of its own government.

Now, their appearance is so positive that it can no longer be positive!

Including Adrian.

But, somehow, deep down, Adrian felt a faint sense of repulsion towards the "General Kim San Le"!

This feeling is strange, not very obvious, but it really exists.

The contradictory emotions from "reason" and "instinct" made Adrian a little confused for a moment.

"Doctor? Doctor?" Adrian did not come to his senses until someone gently knocked on the table.

Everyone who witnessed this was surprised. The famous "workaholic" Adrian Helmris also had time to go dazed and distracted. It was a strange story in the world~~~~

"Well, I'll go there right away." Pressing the faint resistance in my heart, Adrian stood up with his hands on the table, "boosting courage" to drink a whole cup of coffee, and walked towards the vestibule.
