Chapter 38 A Quiet Life
"I'm back." Jill pushed the door open and said to Luo Guang and Barry who were watching TV.
"Oh." Barry and Luo Guang were still looking at the TV and responded to Jill slightly.
"What are you watching? You are so fascinated." After putting down the ingredients in her hand, Jill walked to the two curiously and looked at the TV.
Luo Guang and Barry were naturally not so fascinated by watching some paid channels, their faces were flushed.
"The matter in Raccoon City was covered up." Barry pointed to the TV screen and briefly summarized the news report: "A fire broke out in the Arklay Mountains. In order to protect the safety of the people, the area is temporarily closed until the wildfire is extinguished."
After Luo Guang and Jill took the civilian helicopter driven by Barry to escape from Raccoon City, Barry directly took Luo Guang and Jill to a border town in Maple Leaf Country.
After Barry settled his wife and daughter, he did not always accompany his precious family. Instead, he secretly began to take active actions and prepared a number of safe houses through his connections in Maple Leaf Country.
At this time, Luo Guang and Jill were in a place called Margaret Town, where one of the items Barry had prepared was located.
Because of the defense agreement between Maple Leaf Country and Lighthouse Country, the border between the two countries was basically open, and the two sides were very convenient to travel between them. This also provided convenience for Barry to take Luo Guang and Jill to escape from Raccoon City and head north to this town.
After taking off the military uniform, the weather turned cooler. Jill was wearing a white long-sleeved shirt with light black jeans.
At Luo Guang's recommendation, she also wore a pair of tight sports pants under the jeans, and a black jacket of a similar style to Luo Guang's on the upper body.
Back to the conversation, Jill didn't find it strange after hearing the conversation between Luo Guang and Barry. It was more strange that the news about Raccoon City was only reported now, so he asked: "No mention of Raccoon City?"
"Yes, the city government was brave and fearless and organized the evacuation of residents." Luo Guang said: "The report only mentioned it briefly, and the picture at that time was that the brave firefighters were trying to put out the wildfire."
"Hehe, the same propaganda method as always." Barry took a sip of beer and laughed: "But it's enough to deal with most people."
"If you are not the person involved, how can you think about it and care about whether the media report is true or false." Jill still remembered the propaganda slander that S.T.A.R.S. had suffered, and shook his head.
"Yes, so they don't know that Umbrella has opened Pandora's box in Raccoon City, and the biochemical crisis will gradually become the mainstream threat of this world." Luo Guang drank a sip of hot water and said, "Have you bought the steak? Then I'll go prepare dinner."
"Well, it's already in the refrigerator." Jill went to the kitchen and put the bought ingredients in the refrigerator before entering the living room.
"OK." Luo Guang got up and started to prepare dinner, which was also considered as rent for living in Barry's house.
Luo Guang went to make dinner, and Jill took over Luo Guang's position. After drinking a sip of hot water to warm up, he watched the news on TV.
"How did you rest?" Barry opened a bottle of beer for Jill and handed it to Jill.
It has been seven days since Luo Guang and Jill escaped from the hell of Raccoon City to this quiet town.
Jill took the beer, took a sip, and after a sigh, he said, "I feel that I have rested enough, and it's time to go out."
"That's good, Jill is planning to go to Europe, right?" Barry followed Jill's words and asked Jill about her plan.
"Yes, Chris is in Europe. I plan to meet up with Chris first to discuss the next plan." Jill nodded. This was planned before she fled Raccoon City.
"Chris contacted me before. I will give you Chris's contact information in Europe later." Barry continued to tell Jill the information he got from Chris: "Chris seems to be planning to establish a semi-military organization dedicated to dealing with biochemical crises, but because there is no backing, it will be difficult to intervene in biochemical incidents if it starts from a civilian organization."
"A new S.T.A.R.S." Jill thought of the disbanded S.T.A.R.S. team.
"It hasn't been named yet. You can talk to Chris when the time comes." Barry himself couldn't think of any good name. When he named his daughter, he was despised by his wife for a while, so he didn't plan to participate in the naming.
"Okay, as for North America, I'll leave it to you." Barry stayed in Maple Leaf Country for the time being, so Jill said so.
After finishing the business, Barry continued to ask some gossip: "If you go to Europe, will Luo go with you?"
"No, he plans to return to Umbrella Corporation." Jill shook his head.
Although Jill did not directly say that Luo Guang was going to be an undercover agent, Barry also understood Jill's meaning and said with a smile: "Are you willing to separate?"
"There is nothing to be reluctant about." Jill drank a sip of cold beer, then shook his head and said: "Those of us who survived Raccoon City have things to accomplish."
"Really? I don't think Luo Guang is a person with a strong sense of justice, unlike you, Jill."
This has nothing to do with Luo Guang's background as an intelligence agent of Umbrella Corporation. Barry noticed it from other places, such as his views on some things.
"I know." Jill understood what Barry meant, but still said: "Luo Guang has his own moral bottom line and code of conduct. I know this, but he still has a conscience."
"I know Jill that you value Luo Guang very much, and I'm not saying that Luo Guang is a bad person." Looking at Luo Guang who was busy in the kitchen, Barry whispered: "But I saw Luo Guang and a stranger yesterday. conversation."

"Not from a small town?" There was a shocked look on Jill's face, but her reply was still lowered.
"No, I feel like it might be someone from Umbrella Company." Barry shook his head and said, "The other party was very sneaky. By the time I asked the town's police chief to help investigate, that person had already left the town. ”
The Sheriff's information was only given to Barry this afternoon, so Barry didn't rush to tell Jill yesterday in case there was a misunderstanding.
Barry asked further: "You basically stay together at night, didn't he say anything?"
"Well..." Jill recalled what happened yesterday.
Luo Guang spent the whole day yesterday asking Jill for advice on fighting skills. Because they were tired, the two fell asleep quickly at night.
As for Luo Guang's chat with the mysterious stranger, it probably happened when Luo Guang went out to buy ingredients.
There was a dish that Luo Guang said he wanted to eat yesterday. Because Luo Guang didn't know how to pronounce the ingredients in English, and neither Jill nor Barry knew it, it was the first time Luo Guang offered to buy the ingredients himself.
Gil discovered this, but he didn't believe that Luo Guang would deliberately hide it from him.
Thinking of this, Gil wanted to ask Luo Guang directly.
Seeing this, Barry pushed Jill back to the sofa and said, "Don't be too anxious, this is just my one-sided statement, and I saw that Luo Guang's expression seemed to be very complicated after chatting with the other party. When he found that I was nearby, he also He didn’t panic about the stranger, and he didn’t seem afraid of me asking about that person’s identity.”
Barry didn't want Jill to hurt the rare relationship between the two because of her impulsiveness.
"I understand." Gil took another sip of beer, calmed his mind, and asked, "Then did you ask Luo Guang about that person?"
"No, I believe the results of my investigation even more." Barry and Jill clinked the beer bottles, took a sip of beer, and then said: "Going back to what I said at the beginning, Luo Guang is not as righteous as you, Jill. I feel like he has his own plans, but he may not be able to get to the end with you.”
At this time, Barry seemed to treat Jill as his own daughter, so he was worried that Jill would suffer an emotional disadvantage.
"I understand. I will have a good talk with Luo Guang tonight." Gil looked unhappy, frowning, as if he was thinking about what to say to Luo Guang.
"What are you talking about?" Luo Guang was wiping his hands with a towel, walked behind Barry and asked.
"It's nothing. I've almost had enough rest after talking about the things to come." Barry turned around and said to Luo Guang.
"Really?" Luo Guang looked at Jill's face, pointed at him, and asked, "What's wrong with Jill? She seems to be in a bad mood."
"That one is coming." Gil made an excuse casually.
"Uh... drink more hot water!" Luo Guang didn't know how to answer this, so he changed the subject: "The steak and tomato meat sauce pasta is ready."
"Eat first, Jill." Barry advised.
"Um……"
…
At ten o'clock in the evening, Luo Guang was lying on the bed. Since yesterday, he had not slept like he did when he first arrived in the town except for certain times.
The stranger must have been seen by Barry. He recalled that the two of them were whispering while he was cooking, and then Jill's expression changed.
Luo Guang also had some guesses in his mind, but Luo Guang didn't know how to tell Jill for a while, especially after Jill saw the news that the Lighthouse Country covered up the Raccoon City incident, it was even harder to speak.
Thinking about how to tell Jill, Luo Guang's door was opened.
Luo Guang turned his head and saw Jill walking in not long after taking a shower.
The crystal clear water droplets slid across Jill's slender and rosy neck, followed the attractive collarbone, and entered the ravine.
"Luo Guang, I have something to ask you." Gil thought for a long time and decided to ask Luo Guang directly.
"Is it about that stranger?" Luo Guang said, "I just want to talk to you about it."
The moment he saw Jill, Luo Guang made a decision about something he had been struggling with for a long time.
"Say it." Gil didn't know if Luo Guang said this because he knew the matter was exposed. He habitually got into Luo Guang's bed, leaned against the back of the bed, and waited for Luo Guang's next words.
"That person may be someone sent by the top of the Lighthouse Country." Luo Guang said, "He asked me to be an undercover agent."
Luo Guang finished what Jill wanted to know most in just a few words.
The identity of the mysterious man was a bit unexpected to Jill. Jill had thought a lot before and thought that the mysterious man should be a talent from Umbrella Company.
"The one sent by the Lighthouse Country...isn't it Umbrella?" Gil thought about which federal agency the person sent would be.
Luo Guang looked at Gill who was thinking and said, "He wants me to work undercover at Umbrella Company to work for his organization. As for which organization, he didn't say, but he hinted that they know our whereabouts very well."
"This is not much different from your original plan. Why didn't you discuss it with me immediately?" The balance in Jill's heart began to tilt towards Luo Guang, wondering if Luo Guang had any difficulties.
"He knows that the people who escaped from Raccoon City include me, you, Jill, and Uncle Barry who flew a helicopter to Raccoon City without following the formal procedures." Luo Guang continued: "With the safety of you two as our priority, Conditions, I serve them, and I warn you not to expose the truth about Raccoon City, especially to the hostile countries of the Lighthouse Country."
"For the sake of sealing it...and disinfecting Raccoon City, I understand why you think it was sent by the top of the Lighthouse Country." Gil also understood why Luo Guang didn't tell him immediately.

"None of the organizations that participated in the Raccoon City incident are easy to mess with. You know that I will choose to resist this unfairness, especially since you know that the Raccoon City incident is likely to be covered up. Even if you try to persuade me, it will only arouse my anger. Resistance."
Gil understood Luo Guang's thinking. One more thing is worse than one less thing. The three of them simply couldn't resist that powerful force, and what the other party wanted Luo Guang to do coincided with what Luo Guang was planning to do, so Luo Guang didn't say anything. This is understandable
But if it was Luo Guang who met him at the beginning, he would definitely have used words to hide these things until the end, as long as Luo Guang thought it was right.
At this time, Gil finally confirmed that Luo Guang did not confess because the matter was exposed, and couldn't help laughing.
"But it doesn't seem to be a bad thing, right?" Jill also retracted her whole body into the bed.
"What the other party asked to do is the same as what you want to do, Luo Guang. Although it threatens you, in the end, it's not a big problem, right?" There was still something strange in Jill's mind.
"I'm worried about you." Luo Guang excluded Barry and said: "Now what they ask for is still the same as what I planned, but what happens later? What if he threatens me with your life to do something unscrupulous?" What's going on?"
Luo Guang breathed out and said: "This is what I'm struggling with. I didn't tell you about this before because I didn't think of a way to get the best of both worlds. If I told you, it would only make you live in fear. On the contrary, I won’t say that as long as I complete their mission and I’m still valuable, you won’t be threatened by them.”
Gil turned over and leaned on Luo Guang's shoulder, holding Luo Guang's hand and clasping their fingers tightly.
The faint fragrance of Jill provoked Luo Guang's olfactory nerves, causing Luo Guang's body to react slightly.
"But I would rather know the truth." Gil did not blame Luo Guang for concealing it. Feeling Luo Guang's body temperature, Gil said: "No matter what happens, we can face it together. Isn't the same with the entangled goddess of revenge? It’s down to the cooperation between us.”
"I know." Luo Guang turned around, hugged Jill, lowered his head slightly, looked at the blush on Jill's face and her small lips like delicious cherries, and kissed her gently.
Luo Guang stopped after a brief taste and soon separated, but Gil immediately took the initiative to hug Luo Guang tightly and kissed him...
