Chapter 525: A commotion caused by a book
"So what are we going to do?"
"Retreat first, then plan well. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Zheng Fei sighed softly and rubbed his eyebrows sadly.
After receiving the order, the team retreated two kilometers back and camped in the same place to rest.
Zheng Fei sat alone on the hillside with a wine jug, blowing the comfortable spring breeze of the American continent and bathing in the warm but not hot sun, but he couldn't relax, and he was always worried.
Where did the colonists come from? Why did they travel thousands of kilometers from New York to South Dakota? And most importantly, what were they digging? Obviously not mining stone.
Zheng Fei, who was surrounded by mysteries, raised his head, looked at the sky as clean as a canvas, and sighed leisurely.
I can't figure it out, so I just don't want to think about it, and plan how to rescue the hostages safely first.
Since you want to save it, you have to take it by surprise and send people to infiltrate the enemy base first and then make observations.
Looking at the hundreds of thousands of people in the whole fleet, who is the best at lurking? If Brad is second, no one dares to call him first.
Without waiting for Zheng Fei to look for it, Brad came over by himself.
Striding up the hill, Brad sat down next to Zheng Fei and gave a smile: "Need help?"
"What a coincidence, I was about to go looking for you. ”
"I know, so I'm here. ”
"You know?" Zheng Fei frowned in surprise.
"Of course. Brad shrugged and explained, "You're different from everyone else, so I like to speculate on your mind." I used to think about what you would do, but it didn't work, because your mind and I were not on the same line at all. Then I started to think, what are you thinking, if I'm not mistaken, you must want to send someone to infiltrate the enemy base to find out the situation, right?"
"It's over, I seem to be seen through. Zheng Fei smiled bitterly, looked into his eyes, paused for a moment, and said seriously: "You are the wisest person I have ever met. ”
"How is it possible, you are a man from the future, and you have a lot more wisdom there than I am. ”
"No, they may know more than you, but wisdom is far from it, knowledge and wisdom are not the same. ”
"Well, I'll just take you as if you're complimenting me. Tell me, what do you need me to do?"
......
During the night, several figures quietly infiltrated the base, led by Brad and followed by several of the most agile natives.
Tonight's starry sky was unusually dark, and dark clouds were gathering up, and it looked like it was going to rain.
This is really bad news, there is no shelter from the rain on the plains.
"Oh, Evor, this is our first cloudy day here, right?"
"Yes, I've almost forgotten what it's like to be in the rain. ”
"Ha, every raindrop, every piece of dirt here is the smell of wealth!"
"That's right, cheers, man!"
On the watchtower, the soldiers were talking.
There were clearly good architects in this group of colonists, and they didn't like simple cabins, and they built spacious and beautiful houses, which seemed to have a lot of meaning.
Don't think about it, the best house must be the leader's house, and Brad dodged several waves of patrols before he had a chance to jump out of the window and sneak in.
The place where he settled was a study, and the smell of ink and paper filled the room, as if there was a faint fragrance of flowers, and if you carefully identified it, it was lavender.
Lavender......
Then this group of people should be from the Mediterranean coast.
It was too dark in the room, so Bradra closed the curtain and took a candle out of his bosom and lit it.
Unexpectedly, the leader was still an elegant man, with shelves full of books of all kinds, and half-written parchment lying quietly on the table, with many strange symbols drawn on it.
On the table is a book called "The Voyager's Graveyard: The Mysterious Sea", which was probably written by a navigator based on his own experience.
Brad didn't take it to heart, and was about to look away when something suddenly came to mind.
He frowned, reaching out and picking up the thick book.
I still have a rare impression in my mind, I once heard Zheng Fei talk about the Voyager's Cemetery, what is the name of that place... Oh, Bermuda.
Turning the title page, he was about to see what was written in the book, when he suddenly heard the sound of footsteps outside the door, and quickly turned his head to look around, there was no place to hide.
In desperation, he quickly jumped out of the window and hid the book in the grass under the window.
He heard the door creak open, and the man burped in disgust and sat down heavily in his chair.
Suddenly, there was silence for two seconds.
"Soldier!
The man burst into a thunderous rage, roaring hysterically, and angrily slammed his fist on the table, knocking the inkwell down.
The soldiers in the hallway, thinking that something terrible had happened, hurried in and stared at the manic leader, confused.
"General... What's wrong with you?"
"What about the books I put on the table?!Why is it time to eat?!"
“...... Books?"
"Don't play stupid with me!" With that, the general sneered and grabbed the soldier's collar fiercely: "You are the closest person to it, and my study is also handed over to you to guard, if you don't know who took it, it was you who took it." ”
"General... What can I do with a book?"
"You know its value very well, and the real purpose of our here is to find those things, and it's the only clue. ”
The general gritted his teeth and was ruthless: "I'll say it one last time, give me back that book." ”
"But I really didn't take it..."
Suddenly, Brad, who was hiding in the grass outside the window, heard a muffled sound, followed by the screams of the soldiers, and then everything returned to calm.
"Assemble everyone!" the general shouted.
Before the soldiers could start moving in this direction, Brad seized the opportunity to sneak out of the base with the natives while hiding, clutching the book as he ran.
He understood that it must be a very important thing, and perhaps handing it over to Zheng Fei would make him understand its value.
Dozens of minutes later, Brad ran back to the place where the large army was stationed, and without even bothering to drink his saliva, he walked briskly up the hill.
"Why is there such a sudden chaos over there?" Zheng Fei saw everything through the telescope.
"Because I took one of them. Brad handed him the book: "This is it, their leader takes it very seriously. ”
"Yes. Zheng Fei suspiciously took out the candle and lit it, and looked at the cover.
