The trio landed on the outskirts of Ussuriysk, far from the front line of the war, and the lights of the city could be seen far away.

"Hurry up."

Lu Lanqing pulled Su Yuan into a small road without rail cars.

"It's too obvious to walk where there are railcars, and we walk here."

"Where is the goal?"

"The scheduled joint location, where to spend the night depends on the meaning of the connector."

Joint? Su Yuan's interest came up all of a sudden, this strong sense of immediacy!

The town was not big, and the three of them quickly walked into the city. Of course, it's just the most perimeter in the city.

At this time, Su Yuan saw a weak Soviet soldier patrolling with a gun on his back on the street.

Covering Leila's mouth first, Su Yuan whispered:

"Don't be afraid, deliberately avoiding it is more likely to arouse their suspicion, let's just walk over like this."

Sure enough, they were not discovered, Su Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, and those soldiers didn't even look at them.

"Su Yuan really underestimates me, these guys are easy to deal with."

After letting go of her hand, the unconvinced Leila immediately argued.

“…… Forgot about you, sorry. ”

Su Yuan smiled embarrassedly, he just remembered that when it came to the experience of dodging patrols, the big reporter in front of him had much more experience than him.

Advancing all the way on the avenue, Su Yuan and his party came to a square near an Orthodox church in the center of the city.

Because there was no assembly, there were very few people in the square, and there were only some old people, sitting quietly on the benches in the square, staring at the statues and the frozen fountain.

Just at the corner of the square, Su Yuan found a low car, the car was closed, and a small opening was made in the large window facing customers, and behind the window were colorful groceries. Under the door of the trolley lay a stack of coals, like the shopkeeper's old man laboriously moving a few of them into the car, and replacing them with useless cinders, which seemed to be used for heating. Even in the highly developed modern era, some places still use these old energy sources.

Seeing this car, Lu Lanqing's expression was as if he had discovered a new continent, and he rushed over quickly.

"Hey, hey......"

Su Yuan gasped, and finally caught up with the girl's footsteps, the road of several kilometers had already tortured Su Yuan's already fragile body enough, unlike the girl, who knows how much physical strength she still has left.

By the time Leila arrived, the shopkeeper had just finished his job and got back into the car. At this time, Su Yuan had a general understanding of the goods in the car, most of which were long strips and boxes of cigarettes, as well as some drinks and newspapers.

"Dear lady, what would you like to come?"

The shopkeeper asked in proficient Chinese.

Could it be that you have been recognized? Su Yuan's expression was a little nervous, but it only lasted for a moment.

"I want a pack of China."

The shopkeeper's face changed.

"I'm sorry, there is no China here, do you want to come to the Yellow Crane Tower?"

"The people of the past have gone on the Yellow Crane."

"The Yellow Crane Tower is vacant here. Hehe, business is not good today, close the stall. Come with me, three of you. ”

Su Yuan and the others followed the shopkeeper all the way to a row of two-story small buildings and stopped in front of a rolling shutter door. The shopkeeper looked around, saw that there was no one around, took out a bunch of keys, and pressed one of the keys on it.

La-la-......la-

"This is the property of a Chinese merchant, a food shop that sells food products that we used to export there, which was forced to close after the new Soviet Union implemented the policy of expulsion of foreign populations, and now the right to use it belongs to you."

The shopkeeper slapped the key on the counter at the entrance.

"From now on, I'll be the upline of the three. If you find something, please go to the old place. ”

"Well, this ......"

Lu Lanqing took out a note from his pocket that had already been written, and the shopkeeper frowned after looking at it, and used a lighter with a silver metal shell to set it on fire.

"Is it reliable?"

"It's not guaranteed, but the reliability is quite high."

"Well, take your leave."

The shopkeeper left after a little courtesy, and lowered the curtain for Su Yuan and the others before leaving, and closed the door of the store.

As a result, the small interior returned to darkness.

“…… Huh? ”

Su Yuan tried to turn on the light, but there was no response, and he touched the floor again, the temperature was no different from the stone steps under the square.

"Don't try," Lu Lan said coldly, "In order not to arouse suspicion, the water, electricity and heating must be turned off, and the roller shutter door is just a backup energy source." ”

There is no way, but to use magic instead. With the light created by his magic power, Su Yuan walked through the refrigerated cabinets on both sides and walked up the stairs in the depths.

The top of the stairs seems to be the place where the original owner lived, and the decoration is very simple, but it can be called "a sparrow is small, but it has all kinds of organs". It was there that Su Yuan discovered something unusual.

In a room facing the stairs, he saw a storage battery the size of a coffee table, and a mountain of grain and oil inside.

There is no doubt that the storage battery the size of the coffee table is the main body of the backup energy source, and as for the room, it is a cold storage with refrigeration equipment specially used to store goods.

"Lan Qing, this is really ......," Su Yuan said half-jokingly, "Are we going to stay here for a long time?" ”

"Of course, why do you think that?"

"But I don't have any experience in this kind of work."

"Me neither, stupid." Lu Lanqing flicked Su Yuan's forehead, "The important thing is that the news has spread, and our share has been completed by us." Even if we live here for the next month, no one will blame us. ”

"Snail ......"

That's something that only people like me can do, Su Yuan sneered, except for him, the two are idle masters.

Opening the bedroom door, there is only a double bed and a wardrobe, and there is a 23-inch TV on the wall facing the double bed.

"Anyway, we stayed here! Su Yuan! ”

"Got it, I'm going to sleep on the floor."

Isn't it just sleeping on the floor in a house without underfloor heating in the winter? Su Yuan said that it was not cold at all.

Really, it's not cold at all.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Late at night.

"Oh, isn't this our heroine, come in and warm up with some hot water, it's so cold outside."

The man with a stubble on his face and who looked like an action superstar saw the girl appear at the other end of the office, and immediately stood up and greeted him. In contrast, the girl looked a little too reserved, her brows furrowed, and sweat oozed from her forehead.

"Haha, are the people who came to me for the first time like you, or was I too rough on the phone yesterday? Once you're familiar with each other, it's no problem! Some of the unspeakable boys even dared to smash my cup! That's why I dared to call you in, you're a little girl. ”

“……”

The girl's hand touched the cup of hot water and retracted.

"Well, I'll make a long story short, I called you here to fulfill my promise."

The girl raised her head slightly, and saw that the man's expression was no longer the one he had when he first entered the door, and he was full of seriousness.

"The trust between each other is fundamental to the functioning of our institution, and of course there is the binding of interests, and before I come here, I have to tell you that, it is my responsibility."

The girl's mouth opened slightly.

"It's also your responsibility. That's what I said to you at the time, as long as you can complete the task I gave you......"

The man took out a piece of paper with a picture of the girl's father printed in the upper left corner from the drawer.

"The formalities have been completed, there is nothing to do with your father here, he can catch the train to the West tomorrow."

Looking at the girl's expected reaction, the man showed the danger of satisfaction.

"As for you, you have proven to be a good fighter and would you be interested in working with me?"

The man spread his hands.

The girl nodded with difficulty under the man's pervasive gaze.

“…… Hum. ”

The man waved at the lieutenant behind him.

"Your name is Olga, from now on, you are our man, give you ten people, let you get acquainted with 'them' first, as for the mission, I want you to catch the foreign spies hiding in the city to cause sabotage."

The man clapped his hands and motioned for her to go. The aide-de-camp, who was about two meters tall, stood between the girl and the man.

"Why, don't let me go to the front......"

"Oh?"

The girl grabbed the doorframe, trying not to get her thin body from being squeezed out by the tall adjutant.

"Why don't you let me go to the front! You know what's going on there, right?! ”

"Huh."

Under the girl's angry gaze, the man quietly lit a cigarette.

"The armies of the neighboring countries crossed the border, bombed important power transmission lines, and sent airborne troops to occupy the trains carrying military supplies that stopped halfway through, while preparing to flank the inside and outside. I know that the enemy forces in the direction of the Korean Peninsula in the south are also waiting for an opportunity to move northward, and the Pacific Navy's offensive on Hokkaido Island has been blocked. However, there is an old saying in neighboring countries, which says, 'If you want to go outside, you must first settle inside'. ”

“……”

"Got it? Go ahead. ”

"Yes!!"

The man smiled and watched the girl's departure as he picked up the phone.

He only said six words.

"You're free, congratulations."
