"She's really from the West Factory? I haven't heard of this person. ”

After Sherlock left, Zhang Weixin took out his last cigarette, his hands trembling a little. It's not because I'm afraid that Xichang will really investigate his 'crime', it's just that this Briton named Sherlock makes Zhang Weixin really afraid to face it. If it weren't for the fact that "V" had told him that Sherlock was back, perhaps he would have revealed that he was connected to "V".

"She is not affiliated with the West Factory, but she does have an inextricable relationship with the West Factory. ”

"And you too?"

V's movements couldn't help but be stunned. He sat down on the table, recalling what had happened in England. Dior and Sherlock, they should be incompatible. There is absolutely no similarity in philosophy and purpose, as well as similar personalities, all of which determine that they will never go hand in hand, just like the heads and tails of the coin.

But that's not the case.

Sherlock can be called a friend in this life, because the interpersonal relationships brought about by her concept of 'making friends and heroes' seem to be a lot on the surface, but the only one who really understands her may be Watson, who has been married for a few years. And Dior, who is her age and diametrically opposed to her philosophy, has become the only person she can really confide into.

It is precisely because they have completely different philosophies that they 'value' each other very much. And because of their similar personalities, even if they are in a position of incompatibility, their views of each other will not be exaggerated and devalued.

That's why they understand each other.

And what Dior is best at is exploiting the weakness of the human heart. In the case of "White-Hell", V unsuspectingly exposed his inner weakness, and if he exposed what Dior had done, then the Connor family, John's alternate home for the orphans, would also be banned by the government, and his sins would only be heavier. Wanting John to take in the orphans who were homeless and abandoned by their parents, V had no choice but to conceal the actions of Dio and John and become wanted.

Thankfully, Sherlock came to his aid.

Sherlock created a new identity for him in exchange for his testimony, otherwise he would have to bear the charge for John and Dior, and the action would not have been so easy.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing V sitting without saying a word, Zhang Weixin patted the table and attracted his attention.

"No, it's not a big deal. It doesn't make a difference whether this thing is in the hands of the Ming Empire or Dio Connor, if Dio Kangan comes in person, it doesn't hurt to hand it over to her. ”

"Ah, then it's for your sake, I'll take less, four million on the account, don't forget," Zhang Weixin snorted coldly, "Really, the British obviously have such excellent talents, but they are just left to fend for themselves in the people?" ”

"Great hidden in the world, the Ming Empire also has such an ancient saying, isn't it?"

"It's different, didn't you say she's a nobleman, and she also helps Britain deal with civil affairs, and has a good relationship with the British royal family. Now it seems that she is not having a good time. Malnutrition, heavy smoking, and dragging that weak body around the world, is there something wrong with the British government?"

Zhang Weixin was indignant about this, puffing out his cigarette butt as he complained, and it seemed that he did not like the country that had had many conflicts with the Ming Empire during the Age of Sail.

"Britain does not have the iron-blooded emperor of the Ming Empire, regardless of factional disputes, and the civil servants, the royal family, and the government are not on the same front. A declining aristocrat with no merits, if he wants to 'get ahead' in England, it is more difficult than military exploits. ”

"After all, the value of this thing to Connor is nothing more than a deterrent, right? Why go to all the trouble of coming to our hideout?"

He tapped on the box, and the crisp sound was unsettling, and no one would think that it contained weapons capable of destroying a city.

"Not a deterrent. ”

V raised his head, and his voice trembled a little, as if the distorted face under the mask also revealed unease.

"The Connor family... No, John Connor has the core technology of the subhumans, and is the one who is most likely to weaponize the subhumans. If the subhumans have been weaponized, then this thing is no longer just a deterrent for John Connor, but the ultimate weapon capable of destroying any country, region, and nation in the world. ”

“！”

"In any case, this is only a biological weapon, it is useless against iron, and it only takes one day for the subhumans to wreak havoc on the battlefield with this kind of thing, and everywhere they go will turn into hell on earth. This 'bargaining chip' can be given to Dio Connor, to the Ming Empire, to the Soviet Union, or to any country in the world, but not to John Connor. ”

"Why not destroy?"

"Destroy?" V sneered, "There is no vaccine for this thing now, and although it is okay to throw it into the sea, there is no guarantee that there is no possibility of leakage." Of course, the best way is to throw it into the furnace of the secret seal, but that kind of technology is now in the hands of the military, and the people have no means to safely destroy this thing, just like the subhumans. Nuclear weapons, subhumans, biological weapons, underwater ships, fortresses soaring in the sky. Less than a hundred years have passed since the Napoleonic Wars, but the world's science and technology seem to be like divine help, and after thousands of years of accumulation of human beings, they have all exploded in one breath. This is Pandora's box, Zhang. I, as well as humans, have no way of turning back. ”

“... Heh, 10 years ago, I wasn't used to electronic devices. ”

The war in Central Europe, the unstable situation in the world, the radical policies, the-for-tat confrontation between the countries. What will this world look like in 10 years? Uncertainty brings insecurity and fear, which is a problem that we will always face in such a world.

War or peace?V, Zhang Weixin, there is nothing they can do now, even the inhabitants of these dark worlds cannot fight against the state apparatus.

Alcatraz Island, San Francisco, Temporary Command.

John strode into the conference room, where the "D-10" had not yet departed, and were still on standby. And John gathered everyone tonight because of another big event.

"What's going on again?" Yuru looked at the man dissatisfied, "The day after tomorrow, to be exact, fifty hours from now will be the time when we will leave, why do you call "D-10" now?"

"Now I'm about to explain," John said, glancing around the D-10 members present, "what about the Sixteenth Night?"

"Who knows, she's not a member of the D-10. Mei Kexin shrugged, "You're worried about her leaking?"

“... No. Now we are starting to convey the highest priority instructions to you, and your mission to Central Europe may be delayed," John sighed, "I just received a notification from the CIA, please see the big screen for details." You should have heard of the joint technical exchange between the United States and the Soviet Union, and in that technical exchange, the United States obtained a special research material. It's what is shown on the big screen. ”

As he spoke, a sealed jar was displayed on the screen, with the data of the stored substances detailed on it.

"Biological and chemical weapons ??!" Yuru was taken aback, "The Soviet Union is still conducting this kind of research?"

"The point is not here, this thing was attacked by an unknown person on the way to storage, and it is initially speculated that the previous generation of Skull and Bones Guild president, the missing Raman Whitney. Only he could know about it and take it away. The purpose is unknown, and no statement has been made at this time. According to the CIA's findings, this biological weapon is now in San Francisco. According to the research of people Raman Whitney has been in contact with in previous years, it is very likely that it is now in the hands of the Ming Mafia in San Francisco, and our mission is to reclaim this biological weapon from the mafia. ”

"No air strikes, artillery fire and other support, the level of armament of the Marine Corps .... Hey, how do you want a few of us to use the M16 to deal with the mafia?"

Daria snorted.

"The CIA and FBI will assist you, remember, you must bring out the biological weapons safely, otherwise once the biological weapons are leaked, it will cause unpredictable losses. ”

John sighed.

"I refuse to obey your orders, there is no document ordering me to do so," Yuru looked at John coldly, "I haven't been able to get in touch with the mainland of England so far, so there must be interference on this island." You don't have the qualifications to command Operation D-10, John Connor. ”

"But..."

"I won't act until I have a written document or a personal order from Dio Connor. The bioweapon leak has nothing to do with me, understand? Guys, just stand by and act as planned. ”

"Yes. ”

"Why?"

"Why? Because skeletons will be my "enemies", and in whatever form they exist in this world, they will be the objects of my devastating efforts, and I will not understand the meaning of my life if I don't think so. It would be better if I could dissociate myself from you, and Cortana doesn't need your support, so you get it? You shit! Dior isn't there, the old lady is the supreme commander, and the old lady is the British defense minister!"

The little girl threw the folder down in anger, and no one knew if she was really angry or just pretending. She immediately took the lead in withdrawing from the conference room, and Zi Buyu and Daria and the others also glanced at each other, and immediately followed her to leave one after another, leaving John alone in the conference room.

"Hey, Captain, that's too much," Daria said with a bent down and snickering in Yuru's ear, "Could it be that he didn't know what he had done exposed?" ”

"Be quiet, maybe there's surveillance here," Yuru looked around carefully, "and after returning to Cortana, enter the red level 2 alert, level 2 combat configuration. Daria, Purple Buyu, you will go ashore in San Francisco Bay as scheduled, and make peace with Sixteen Nights Moon and Dior, and the priority is "jars" and personnel. Others are on standby on submarines. ”

"Yes. ”
