Chapter 147 Dust to Dust Dust to Dust

Things go back to the night three days ago.

Not long after Balk fell asleep, Justin, the third ace spy, received a call from Dean Balke's wife.

"What, you're saying they've developed another five-element bomb, which is even more powerful? And there's only one finished product, and it's scheduled for a live-fire exercise in three days?" Justin was surprised, after all, weapon upgrading and ordinary inventions are not yet available, and they need to be constantly tested. In less than two months, the continuous development of two new bombs is simply a fantasy for Atlantis, which is now divided.

Maybe they've got a new scientist and need to look it up later. Justin put this plan on the agenda.

Immediately after that, Justin gathered the lurking manpower and arranged the plan, which was implemented by each team member separately.

After some intense arrangement, the preparations were finally completed within one day.

The next night, after twelve o'clock in the night, Justin arranged for the crowd to move. In the command car, one of his men asked Justin, "Boss, why are we so nervous?" If it hadn't been implemented once before, and I would have been familiar with the situation, I wouldn't have prepared everything. ”

"Time is pressing, the day after tomorrow will be a live-fire test, and they only have one finished product, and after the experiment, if it is transferred to the military factory, we are not familiar with it, and we may not have the opportunity to steal it. Tomorrow night is too variable, I'm afraid they will strengthen the guard or arrange personnel to debug. So tonight is the most appropriate. Justin explained calmly, as if he was answering questions for his subordinates, cultivating capable players, and as if telling his vision.

In the command building of the General Staff Department, looking at the more than a dozen large screens in the monitoring center, Zhan Fu said to Qi Binxuan, Li Hengzhong, and the commentator-level staff officers who were accompanying him: "Look at those figures, and those cars, it should be Yasan's spies who have started to act." ”

Everyone nodded yes.

Zhan Fu asked, "Qi Lao Wu, how do you know that they will act today?"

"I had already set the language trap when I first arranged it. When I was on vacation with the researchers, I was talking about a live-fire exercise in three days. In this way, after deducting the time they are preparing, there is a high probability that the theft will start on the second and third nights. However, the risk of stealing on the third night is too great, because the next day is to be tested, and there is a possibility of encountering people who are working overtime, which increases the unnecessary risk. And if there is an accident, the fault tolerance rate is low. In comparison, the second night is the safest to steal. Qi Binxuan introduced his thoughts when he arranged it.

Zhan Fu asked again, "What if they steal it on the first night or the third night?"

"On the first night, the news was just released by Balk's wife, and without preparation, it must not be implemented immediately. Even if they take action immediately, we have followers who will inevitably be able to adjust the arrangement in a timely manner. As for the third night. When Qi Binxuan said this, he paused slightly, causing Zhan Fu and a group of staff officers to look sideways.

Qi Binxuan continued: "It's a big deal, let's just stay up late tomorrow to come and see it again." ”

Everyone felt faint when they heard this. Is this a matter of watching surveillance one more time? The image of the master collapsed in an instant. But I heard it, and Qi Binxuan also made arrangements for unexpected situations.

In the command car, his subordinates asked Justin again: "Why do we steal live ammunition, isn't it more concealed and safer to transfer experimental data or R&D data?" Moreover, we have to disassemble and copy the research and development when the live ammunition is stolen back, which has more steps and less effective than stealing data. ”

Justin sighed and said, "I also want to steal the R&D data, but last time you also saw that their researchers didn't enter the data into the computer or make a paper version to save it, and they couldn't find the R&D data at all." Fortunately, we prepared a backup plan, and when we couldn't find the information, we stole live ammunition, so we didn't go home empty-handed. It's the same this time, I look at the comparison of the time they developed, it should still be the weapons developed by those researchers, the style should be the same, it is estimated that there is still no information, so there must be preparations to steal live ammunition. ”

In the monitoring center, Zhan Fu pointed to the large transport vehicles and asked, "How do you know that they are still going to steal the five elements of ammunition and live ammunition? Are they not afraid of increasing the risk of exposure?"

Qi Binxuan explained: "Because they can only steal live ammunition." ”

In the puzzled eyes of everyone, Qi Binxuan pointed at Li Hengzhong and said: "Because Dr. Li has an excellent memory and never forgets, he is known as a human camera. There is no need to record the experiment at all, and if you want to recall the data and experimental procedures, you can just open your mouth. So you think, without the test data and steps, how can they steal, they can only steal live ammunition. ”

In this regard, everyone shifted their amazed eyes to Li Hengzhong. Li Hengzhong was uncomfortable when he was looked at, and said humbly: "It's not as exaggerated as Boss Qi said, I just have a slightly better short-term memory." In addition, I am used to maintaining consistency during experiments, and when I go back in the evening, I will write down the day's notes and thoughts on the computer. Of course, I stored it on my personal computer, and then encrypted it, so the research institute couldn't find the information. ”

Everyone suddenly realized after hearing this, and sighed secretly, sometimes, the research institute that the public thinks is safe is not the safest, and when the real accident comes, Li Hengzhong's habit has become the key to victory.

Through hacking technology, Yasan spies seized control of the research institute's intranet and adjusted the surveillance screen to a preset video. After that, he entered the research institute in a grand manner, evaded the patrolling security personnel, and saw the right time to knock them out and detain them.

The subordinate began to praise Justin again: "As the boss expected, although the password has changed and the patrol shift has been adjusted, their security measures have not changed much. We were able to get in with a slight change in our previous response. ”

Justin smiled and said, "That's normal. Before, they didn't find the real reason for the loss of the golden bullet, but just found a security captain to top the tank. In this way, how can they approve expenses, buy equipment, etc. to change security. Besides, even if they want to change, what good equipment can be customized for just a month, maybe it's not as good as the previous one. It's not that I look down on them, even if the new security captain has the ability and level, his plan may not be approved. I have studied those bureaucrats thoroughly, they deal with things, they think very complicated, and the feasibility and science are put at the end. However, perhaps because of this, we have the opportunity to shine. ”

"But Boss, why don't we just kill those security guards, just drugged them out, it's so troublesome, and there's a risk of waking up at any time. ”

Justin said in a tone of a passer-by: "There are so many spies in our area, and there are many who are higher than me, but why am I the only one who lives long and has the most reputation?"

"Why?" the men were curious.

"It's because I don't have any homicides. If you think about it, secrets belong to the state, and life is one's own. If I threaten their lives, hurt the lives of their colleagues and friends, then they will chase and hunt them with all their might. And I only want money and not my life, and the pursuit of people is routine. Therefore, I was able to survive so many espionage activities, and I have the reputation of an ace spy, relying on the perfunctory behavior of the other party, relying on the fact that I have room and no unscrupulous means, and relying on the foil of my peers. ”

"Taught!" this time, the praise of his subordinates was very sincere.

At the moment of monitoring switching, the monitoring center immediately switches a set of systems, and monitors every move of the research institute through hidden cameras at all times.

"Why are they so careless, obviously the backup system is just an ordinary security facility, and the only good thing is that the camera is hidden, which is still a grade away from the original. Why didn't they find out?" a staff officer asked.

"It's easy to understand. Qi Bin replied: "People have inertial thinking, especially famous people. They think that they are superior to others, and they think more comprehensively and profoundly than others, and they think that things should continue to develop according to their thoughts. The same goes for this security system, when they easily broke through, they just thought we were careless and didn't replace the security system at all, but they never thought that there would be a new backup system. Justin's fame and arrogance made him lose his cautious style. Many famous people have been ruined by their fame. ”

Everyone in the storytelling staff group fell into deep thought, they were reflecting on themselves, to see if they had been arrogant lately, and had forgotten their prudence and humility in the state of a small person.

Zhan Fu sighed: "Fortunately, they didn't kill the security personnel, these are the people of Atlantis." I would be very disturbed if we let them lose their lives because of our plans. ”

Qi Binxuan nodded in agreement: "Yes, I also took into account that the other party is Justin in this plan. Judging from the previous information, there were no fatalities in his espionage activities. In addition, the precedent of the previous Jin Xing bullet loss case is in the past, and it is speculated that he will not hurt people, so this is arranged. Moreover, we have placed people in the hidden places and periphery of the research institute. If they hurt someone's life, even if we abandon the plan, we have to order the soldiers in the shelter to quickly take control of the situation. ”

Zhan Fu nodded and said, "It is said that the superior should think rationally and not be swayed by feelings. But using human life as a bargaining chip, just as a tool, still doesn't feel like my character. ”

Qi Binxuan agreed: "Maybe it's because of this that so many subordinates are willing to work hard with you in this foreign country." ”

In the screen, the transport vehicle has arrived at the warehouse where the five elements of the bullet are placed, and at the moment when the five elements of the bullet is hoisted, a piercing alarm sounds, and at the same time, the red alarm light flashes rapidly, and the scene is suddenly very tense.

At this time, Justin's voice came from the headset: "Don't panic, it's normal to have a new hole card, but the security personnel in the research institute have been subdued by us, and it will take time for the people around to come to support." Let's just retreat as soon as possible. ”

Only then did everyone calm down, and they immediately loaded the five-element bullet into the car and drove out of the research institute quickly.

Seeing these situations on this screen, Zhan Fu asked, "Since we just want them to steal the Five Elements Bullet, why do we need to add such an alarm device and do it too much?"

"If things go the way they envisioned, it's going too well for the spy. As an ace spy, Justin will have a sense of accomplishment, but he will also notice something wrong. We give him a little trouble and make them feel like they have worked so hard to get the Five Elements Bullet, so that we can hide our purpose. ”

The transporter had already driven onto the main road, and at this moment, four identical transporters drove from the shadows, with the same license plates, and surrounded them.

At this moment, a shrill siren was heard from behind, and three police cars followed. Justin decisively gave the order, divided his troops and fled, scattering to attract pursuers.

At this time, five cars dispersed at the next few intersections, and three police cars followed three of them away.

Qi Binxuan pointed to the direction of the three police cars on the map and explained: "These three pursuing vehicles are all misleading vehicles for pursuit, so that the transport vehicles that really transport the five elements of ammunition can escape." As for why not one more was sent to chase another misleading car, it was to prevent Justin from becoming suspicious, after all, the misleading car had caught up, but it was too low to let the transporter escape. This tepid, insipid and moderate is just appropriate, which not only shows that our side reacted quickly, but also because of the urgency of time, there is not much mobilization of forces, which seems reasonable. ”

The five-element bomb was transported to the vicinity of an abandoned factory building, where a private helicopter had been parked. After the emergency handling was secured, the private helicopter took off and lifted off. Just forty or fifty meters after takeoff, the siren sounded outside the factory, and when the police car arrived at the helicopter take-off, the police officers got out of the car, and could only see a few bright spots in the sky, except for taking out a pistol and firing a few shots in the air to vent their anger, there was no way.

Qi Bin smiled and said: "The plan is basically successful, but we still have to perform a little more to add a little pressure to them and dispel their doubts again." ”

The helicopter transporting the five-element bomb flew straight in the direction of Yasan. When they were about to reach the border, three attack planes flew far behind. At the same time, by radio, they were warned to stop advancing, otherwise they would open fire.

Everyone on the helicopter was very nervous, but seeing that the national border was not far ahead, they were always unwilling to take such a portrait and fail in success.

At this time, Justin picked up the radio and said, "I am a member of the Royal Guard, and I am now on a secret mission, I hope you will cooperate and do not stop it." ”

The other person said, "Please tell me your number." ”

Justin casually reported a set of numbers that he had written down earlier. After checking, the other party replied: "Confirmed." Can be released. ”

While the check was being made, the helicopter did not stop at all and was still flying forward. After getting the other party's reply, he flew faster.

However, it was not long before another roar came over the radio: "This number has been obsolete, please stop immediately, or we will use force." ”

Looking at the national border that can be crossed in a dozen seconds on the display map, the helicopter fell silent. The nervous heartbeats of the spies, the sound of even breathing, were unusually clear in the quiet and treacherous atmosphere.

Justin yelled over the radio: "We have crossed the border, you are rashly firing, this is the initiative to start a war." ”

Justin shouted three times in a row.

I heard the other party also shouting: "You haven't crossed the border yet, if you don't stop, we will open fire." ”

However, before the attack plane could finish shouting, Justin replied with a smile: "I didn't cross the border just now, but now I have crossed the border." ”

With that, the helicopter flew away, leaving three strike planes hovering over the border.

The subordinates admired Justin, gave a thumbs up and said: "The boss still has the ability, and even coaxes and tricks them to play around." ”

Justin also collapsed on the seat, and said to himself: "It's really thrilling, I hope our harvest can be worth the effort." ”

Looking at the light spots moving in Asia on the big screen, Qi Binxuan said: "The express has been sent, and whether it can be praised depends on the consignee." ”

Zhan Fu said: "Since we have nothing to do with the rest, let's call it a day and go back and wait for good news." ”

Everyone also stayed up for most of the night, except for a few young people, for those middle-aged and elderly people, this is not an easy job. Seeing that the matter was over, they all said goodbye and left, and went back to supplement sleep.

Li Hengzhong and Qi Binxuan went back to their residence together. Li Hengzhong said to Qi Binxuan as he walked: "My right eye is always jumping, and I always feel that something big is about to happen. Isn't that a bad omen? ”

Qi Binxuan said with relief: "You are a scientist, don't be superstitious about ghosts and gods." There are many reasons for eyelid jumping, some are neuropathy, some are overtired, and some are lack of sleep. I think you may be too involved in research lately, and you are overtired. Go back and get a good night's sleep, and you'll be fine tomorrow. ”

Li Hengzhong thought to himself, don't be superstitious about ghosts and gods, can I tell you that there is a god living in my house. But he promised: "What you said makes sense, it's really time to take a good rest." ”

One sunny day, Qi Binxuan followed a tour group and took a helicopter to a small island. On the beach of this small island, the guide explains the details of the island to the tourists. At the same time, the tour guide said: "In Haiti, near this small island, there is a ruin, and there are a lot of incredible things there. If you are interested, you can explore with us. ”

Travelers follow their guide into a submarine and dive into a cave through a narrow Haitian natural tunnel at the bottom of the sea. There was still air in the cavern. Everyone got off the submarine and marveled at the wonders of nature.

The tour guide pointed to the two trails in front of him and said, "These are two paths, which meet in front of them, and they happen to be a loop." You can go forward on the left and come back on the right. There are many wonders on both sides of the road that everyone can enjoy. ”

Qi Binxuan followed everyone on the trail. After walking a few steps, I saw a deep pit on both sides, and a large Buddha statue was placed horizontally in the pit. Some Buddha statues are very complete, while others are fragmented. One of the Buddha statues had a very large head, and one eye was the size of a van, and it seemed to be staring at Qi Binxuan, which made Qi Binxuan feel some palpitations.

The followers walked forward, and many Buddha statues appeared on both sides one after another, some were placed horizontally in the pit, and some were inlaid in the wall, with various postures and forms. However, there was no longer the shock of the huge Buddha statue head to Qi Binxuan.

At the end of the road, there is a stone wall, on which there are many small Buddha statues, but in the middle of the stone wall, there is a three-meter square blank area, densely carved with many words.

The tour guide pointed to the words and said: "This is a text left by the civilization in which the ruins lived, I don't know what information is recorded, and scientists have not deciphered it." I believe that when it is deciphered, it will be able to give us a detailed description of the glory of that era. ”

Qi Binxuan stared at those words for a long time, as if he felt that those words were very familiar and understood their meaning. But when I thought about it, I realized that I didn't understand anything. It's strange that this strangeness has a familiar feeling.

At this time, the tourists behind have already urged everyone to move forward, after all, the path is so wide, you can't stand there and watch for too long, and affect other people.

When I came back from the path on the right, there was nothing eye-catching, and there were still many, many Buddha statues left on both sides. The only thing that's a little different is that the trail has a half-meter fault in one place, and you need to jump over it when passing by.

After that, everyone followed the guide, got on the submarine, and returned to the island.

The tourists have not yet recovered from the excitement of visiting the underwater ruins, and they are talking about what they have seen and heard at the bottom of the sea and their own feelings.

Qi Binxuan looked at those tourists in surprise, looking at the slightly red face and excited expression, it seemed that something was wrong.

Suddenly, a piece of skin on a tourist's face exploded, and a locust-sized insect flew out, circled the tourist twice, and then flew away. The tourist didn't seem to notice anything unusual, and was still talking to himself.

Seeing this, the surrounding passengers were frightened and retreated. The traveler, however, was still there talking to himself, and from time to time complaining about why the others were so far away from him and did not listen to him.

At this time, the skin on the tourist's body, thighs, and arms exploded one after another, blowing out small round holes, from which small insects crawled and flew out, and the scene was extremely terrifying.

Eventually, the tourist's broken body was no longer enough to support him to stand, and he slowly collapsed. Until he fell to the ground, he was still telling about his excitement.

The sound of falling to the ground seemed to be a starting pistol, and the other tourists began to burst more or less with small round holes, flying out ugly and abnormal bugs.

Qi Binxuan looked at this scene and did not feel frightened, but felt that this was the reasonable development of the development of things. The scenes seemed so familiar and strange at the same time.

When the travelers noticed the anomaly, they screamed in horror, some ran away, some jumped into the sea, and some knelt on the ground, with their hands facing the sky, and called out loudly, praying for help from the gods.

It wasn't until a vast piano sound sounded that the momentum of the skin burst was suppressed.

I saw an old man, who was skillfully playing an ancient song with the guqin, and said while playing: "Don't panic, everyone, this sound of the piano can restrain insects and kill insect eggs." ”

Only then did the scene get under control.

Qi Bin paced to the beach, staring at the deep sea, as if he saw the words on the walls buried deep in the ruins of Haiti, thinking about what it wanted to tell himself.

Just as Qi Binxuan on the island was staring at the sea and pondering, Qi Binxuan on the bed in the bedroom opened his eyes.

Staring at the ceiling of the dark room, after a long time, Qi Binxuan came back to his senses and found that he had an unusually clear dream, recalling, the scene in the dream was vivid, and some details were also remembered very clearly, especially the terrifying big Buddha head, which left a deep impression on him. But when he recalled the words on the familiar and unfamiliar stone wall, he found that he could not recall the shape of the words at all, only that there was such a stone wall at the end of the road, and the words were engraved on it.

What the hell is going on with this dream? Qi Binxuan fell into deep thought, but his mind was like the environment in the house, and he couldn't find his thoughts.

At this time, there was a hurried knock on the door, Qi Binxuan got up and got out of bed, put on a coat and went to open the door. At the door was Zhan Fu's herald, who said to Qi Binxuan: "There is an emergency, Prince Zhan summoned you and Dr. Li Hengzhong to hurry over." ”

Qi Binxuan hurriedly returned to the house, quickly got dressed, met Li Hengzhong, who was already dressed neatly, and rushed to the monitoring center together.

When he arrived at the monitoring center, Qi Binxuan saw Zhan Fu with a serious face and some senior officials and staff officers who were at a loss.

Seeing his friend coming, Zhan Fu said in a tired tone, "The Five Elements Bullet signal has disappeared. ”

"Really?" Although it was expected, and this was also the ultimate goal of the plan, it was okay to congratulate, but hearing Zhan Fu's tired and sad tone, Qi Binxuan could only answer in a tone as peaceful as possible.

"The Five Elements Bullet was transported to the capital of Yasan, but I didn't expect that they would disassemble and study the Five Elements Bullet in the Imperial Capital Research Institute. ”

Although I was surprised that the three high-level leaders of Asia set up the weapons research institute in the prosperous imperial capital, this was not a big problem, at most it was just an expansion of the results.

Zhan Fu pointed to the corner of the map projected on the screen and said, "About half an hour after the signal of the Five Elements Bomb disappeared, this picture came from the satellite. ”

Qi Binxuan looked in the direction of Zhan Fu's finger, combined with the surrounding shape layout, and knew that it was the direction where Yasandu City was located. However, as far as the eye can see, it is only a blue.

Qi Binxuan looked at the shape, a little familiar, and instructed the operator: "Enlarge this area." ”

When the picture was enlarged, I found that the original place of the three capital cities of Asia had become a blue ocean, but it was only slightly off, and it was a little yellow, which seemed to be a lonely island.

Looking at the shape of the island, Qi Binxuan's face turned white with surprise, this is exactly the shape of the island he saw in the air when he came to the island by helicopter with the tour group in his dream.

Could it be that that dream is a harbinger of the sinking of this Yasandu city?

Qi Binxuan also persuaded Li Hengzhong to believe in science, but in a blink of an eye, he fell into a dream again. Is this a warning from heaven to oneself, or is it one's own sense of what is happening in a distant country?

Zhan Fu asked softly, "Dr. Li, how powerful is the Five Elements Bullet?"

Only then did Qi Binxuan react and learned Zhan Fu's intention to invite him here. Turning his head to look, he found that Li Hengzhong's face was pale, staring at the screen and speechless.

Qi Binxuan replied for Li Hengzhong: "This is definitely not the power caused by the Five Elements Bullet. According to the effect shown on the diagram, even a nuclear bomb of the same yield will not be able to cause such damage. What's more, it's just an enhanced version of a normal bomb. ”

When Zhan Fu heard this, his face was a little bloody, and there was a trace of popularity in his voice, and there was a trace of sadness: "How can that cause such a situation." ”

Zhou Daring next to him interjected: "I think I may know what's going on." ”

Zhou's bold voice attracted everyone's attention.

Seeing Zhan Fu's hopeful gaze, Zhou Daring hurriedly said: "In the county seat of my hometown, there is a fireworks and firecracker shop. ”

"When is it, you still tell us about your hometown. A high-ranking official rudely interrupted Zhou's bold words.

"Let him speak!" Zhan Fu's voice was rougher and more hoarse, and he didn't look back and roared to interrupt the words of the high-ranking official, his eyes were still staring at Zhou Daring and he didn't want to move away, and he didn't want to move away, as if there was a glimmer of light there that could save Zhan Fu's soul.

Zhou Daring continued: "Once during the Spring Festival, a person put a second kick at the door of the fireworks and firecrackers shop, but the second kick fell, and the second kick did not explode in the air, but flew to the fireworks and firecrackers shop and exploded, igniting the fireworks piled up inside, and the whole store exploded, causing heavy losses. I think maybe they detonated the five elements in the military ammunition warehouse, forming a chain reaction, which had this effect. ”

"Yes, yes, that's definitely the reason. Zhan Fu said with some nervousness.

At this time, a high-ranking official next to him continued: "I think it may be more than that. Even if a conventional bomb is an arsenal, it is impossible to blow up a capital city and sink it to the bottom of the sea. I speculate that they were working on a new weapon of mass destruction, which instead blew up by mistake and had such an effect. We just happened to be transported to that research institute. ”

The executive's words drew a wave of approval, and other executives echoed him.

"It's definitely for this reason. This weapon of mass destruction was exposed for this reason, and if applied to the battlefield, the consequences would be unimaginable. ”

"Yes, we want to unite with several other countries to strongly resist the development of this weapon of mass destruction. ”

In the face of everyone's words, Qi Bin interjected: "Everyone is right, they must have developed weapons of mass destruction. We will actively lobby several other countries to put an end to the development of such weapons. However, it is imperative that we help Yasan through this disaster. ”

"Help a hostile country?"

"Yes, they should be helped. Zhan Fu made up his mind and said, "Whether it is out of humanitarian aid or out of the same family of Atlantis, we should help." ”

"But they are no longer our citizens. ”

"No, they are. Zhan Fu said categorically: "They were before, and they will be in the near future!"

After researching the coping strategy, Zhan Fu arranged a special person to implement it.

Qi Binxuan walked back with Li Hengzhong, who was unable to give up. When he arrived at home, Li Hengzhong said to Qi Binxuan with an ugly face: "Brother Qi, this is caused by the Five Elements Bullet. ”

"The Five Elements Bullet has such a great power?" Qi Binxuan was also skeptical.

"The other four bombs may not be as powerful, but the earth bomb does. I remember a family gunpowder scientist's description of the earth-moving bomb. 'Dust to dust, dust to dust, and prosperity, but a handful of fine sand. And note, don't use dirt bullets lightly. The other four bombs did not have this note. ”

Qi Binxuan interrupted Li Hengzhong's words, stared at Li Hengzhong's eyes and said, "No, this is not the effect of the earth-moving bullet, this is the effect of the weapons of mass destruction developed by Yasan." Remember, you're just a scientist, it's me who planned the plan, and it's Yasan who implemented it, and none of this has anything to do with you. You are just one of the millions of people who have pushed civilization forward. Don't overestimate yourself. ”

Li Hengzhong looked at Qi Binxuan's firm eyes, felt that his eyes were a little moist, and he said in a choked voice: "I know, Brother Qi." ”
