Zhu Wu interrupted her, he stretched out his hand, pointed at her face through the big table, and accused: "You intercepted the psycholinguistics report, you tried to use improper means to get yourself back in the position of the person in charge of the case, I know why you did this! You feel that this case is now of a high level, and you want to get yourself noticed." ”

"Who's getting your attention?" she said angrily.

FBI Headquarters Media, Governor McRae. ”

"I didn't!"

"You listen to me, you're not the person in charge of this case anymore, do you understand? You don't have anything to do with it anymore. You are not allowed to talk to your friend Fu Zhiqiang about this case, you are not allowed to investigate the project of the power plant without authorization, and you are not allowed to propose a raid on the lair of the autonomous community. ”

"Oh my God!"

"I'll tell you what you have to do, you go home and hand over the case to Marven and me. ”

"Zhu Wu!"

"Goodbye, Zhu Yuting, have a great weekend. ”

She stared at him fiercely, and he blushed and gasped.

She was furious, but helpless, the swear words were already on her lips, but she held back.

She had already been forced to apologize once for talking back to him, and she didn't have to bear the humiliation again, she bit her lip, and she confronted him for a long time, and finally turned around and walked out of the room.

In the morning light, Liu Zhan took his hand and drove the car into the woods, and the air in the mountains was very cold.

They were wearing T-shirts, they were freezing cold, and after walking for a while, they got to a log cabin overlooking New England Town.

"They want to build a dam in this place. Liu Zhan said.

The valley narrows here, forming a bottle lock area, so that the far end of the valley is only four or five hundred meters away. It was still too dark to see the river, but in the quiet atmosphere of the early morning, they could hear the sound of the river flowing underneath, and as the sky grew brighter, cranes and huge earthmoving machines at the bottom of the valley began to show their outlines, they were silent and motionless, like sleeping dinosaurs.

Liu Zhan barely expected Governor McRae to negotiate with them, two days after the Owens Valley earthquake, ZF still didn't respond, and Liu Zhan couldn't figure out the governor's strategy, but this strategy was certainly not a surrender.

Another earthquake is inevitable.

But he was anxious, and he might be reluctant to do it, and besides, the second earthquake had to cause more casualties than the first, and he had to get them to hold on to their beliefs, and he was now starting to do the work of style.

"This will create a ten-kilometre-long lake that stretches all the way to the valley. He told her that he saw her white face flushed with anger, "From here all the way upstream, everything you see now will sink to the bottom of the water, and then become the General's private feast, his paradise, and his inhumane experimental underwater base." ”

Beyond the bottleneck is an open valley floor. When the sky was bright enough and the surrounding landscape became clear, they saw a sparse dwelling and a few neatly arranged fields of farmland, all connected by dirt roads.

"Someone must have stopped this kind of construction, right?"

Liu Zhan nodded: "There was once a legal confrontation, we didn't get involved, and we didn't trust the courts and lawyers in the United States. And we didn't want reporters and TV crews to flock here, because too many of us were living incognito, and because of that, we didn't even tell people that there was an archive, and most of the people in the neighborhood didn't know we existed, so we didn't participate in the protests, but some of the wealthy residents hired lawyers, and environmental groups were on the side of the locals, but it didn't work. ”

"Why?"

Governor McRae secured the support of the General's private consortium to build the dam, and he put Ambanier in charge of the project. Liu Zhan hates these shameless politicians in the United States, who brazenly deceived and manipulated the media, "He reversed the whole thing and made the media portray the locals as a small self-interested person who was blocking the power supply to every hospital and school in California." ”

yes, so, the coastal power company was allowed to build the dam, and then the people who lived here would lose their homes, and then the general would be able to bypass the immigration office, the customs office, the border office, all the fortified places, because he had an estate here, and then open the Omega archives, and maybe the most confidential documents, everything was at his fingertips.

"The FBI said we didn't cause the earthquake, and the governor didn't say anything. ”

"Let them die. We have to do it again! This time, we're going to make it impossible for them to ignore us!"

And that's what he wanted: "This time it's going to have to be a real thing, it's going to have to knock down some buildings, and people might get hurt." ”

"But we don't have a choice!"

"We can also leave this valley, disband the remaining members of Donglong, go back to our old lives, find a normal job, earn money, breathe toxic air, and live in a world of greed and jealousy. ”

He scared her. "No!" "Don't say that!" she yelled. I think you're right. We can't go back. ”

"I definitely can't. ”

He looked around the valley again: "God created it like this, and we want to make sure it stays the way it is." ”

She settled down, and he took her by the hand and led her through the woods back into the car.

Just as they were driving up the mountain along the narrow road, Liu Zhan said to Ren Lian, "Are you going to San Francisco to pick up Shang Ming today?"

"yes, I'll leave after breakfast. ”

Liu Zhan heard a strange noise, not the kind of abrupt sound that his car engine was emitting, and he looked through the side window, looking overhead, and spotted a helicopter.

“FK。 As he spoke, he slammed on the brakes.

The style is poured forward because of inertia. "What's wrong?" There was concern in her voice.

Liu Zhan stopped the car and jumped off. The helicopter overhead disappeared to the north.

Style also got out of the car: "What's wrong?"

"What are helicopters doing here?"

"Oh, my gosh. She said in a trembling voice, "You think it's here to get us?"

The noise faded away, and then it came back. The helicopter suddenly reappeared over the woods, and it flew very low.

"I think it's the F.B.I.," Mr. Liu said, "FK! After attending that uneventful press conference yesterday, he thought he could have a few days of peace of mind. It seems that Zhu Wu and Ma Wencai still have a long way to go before they can track him down. Now here they are, right in the valley.

"What are we going to do?"

"Stay calm, they're not here to get us. Ba Zuo again

"I pre-engineered it. ”

She was so anxious that she was about to cry: "Liu Zhan, why do you always talk like you're playing dumb riddles?"

"I'm sorry. He remembered that he still had to ask her, which meant that he had to explain things to her.

He sorted out his thoughts, "They definitely didn't come to arrest us, because they didn't know about our existence, Donglong never appeared in the ZF records of the United States, our bills were handled by Ren Lian, we didn't have the United States ID or the FBI and there was no filing, because we never attracted their attention, there was no news in the newspapers or on TV that mentioned us, we were not registered with the Internal Tax Service, and our hiding place was not marked on any map. ”

"Then why are they here?"

"I think they're here to crack down on Hu Yakun, those lunatics must have a record with all the law enforcement agencies in the country. They're brazenly guarding the door with high-powered rifles, just to let the whole world know that there's a bunch of dangerous lunatics here. ”

"How can you be sure that the FBI is here to arrest them?"

"I designed it in advance, when Ren Lian called the live program hotline, I asked her to say Hu Yakun's declaration, we do not recognize the jurisdiction of the United States ZF, I put down a false clue. ”

"Are we safe then?"

"Not exactly, after they destroy Hu Yakun, they might look around the rest of the people in the valley, and they'll see our hiding place from the helicopter and go to our place, so we'd better go back and report it. ”

He jumped into the car, and as soon as he got into the car, he stepped on the gas.

But this car is twenty-five years old, and it wasn't designed to be a fast off-road car in the mountains. He cursed at its gasping vaporizer and crumbling suspension.

As he struggled to maintain his speed on the winding road, he anxiously thought about who gave the order to the raid in the FBI, and he didn't think that Zhu Wu or Ma Wen would have the instinct to act, there must be someone else who was also investigating the case, and he was wondering who this person was.
