Chapter 168: Going Round and Round
Chapter 168
The cloudburst bomb is called the poor man's nuclear bomb, and its explosive power is also quite huge, while the power of the individual cloudburst bomb is correspondingly weakened, and the biggest effect when used in the sewer environment is not necessarily the shock wave of the explosion, but the large-scale hypoxia caused by it. Of course, if this thing exploded in the sewers of downtown Paris, the movement would be very huge, and at least hundreds of manhole covers of the sewers would be washed into the sky by its shock wave.
The European command of the Mi army has already quarreled about this matter. can let Elizabeth command the combat power of these Mi troops, it is because many consortiums behind it have reached an agreement on killing Kevin, and have given Elizabeth the corresponding authorization, after all, the Tatya organization itself is one of the semi-official intelligence organizations of the United States, and it is not the first time that it has cooperated with the Mi army, which can be seen from Elizabeth's ability to transfer a nuclear-powered submarine from the Pacific Fleet.
However, this does not mean that the upper echelons of the Mi Army are ignorant of Elizabeth's orders, on the contrary, the relevant mission information will be known by the upper echelons. Maybe he could have pretended to be deaf and dumb before, but after the loss of a Black Hawk helicopter and the death of six Mi officers and soldiers, including the pilot, such a big thing even the top commander of the Mi army in Europe could not bear it, and it was directly stabbed at the Pentagon and the White House level.
Just as the upper echelons were exchanging opinions frequently, a new crazy order from Elizabeth came from the front, and she actually wanted to use a cloudburst bomb in the sewers of Paris! Even if it's a single soldier cloud burst bomb, this is too much, the French are still allies after all! At this time, the pressure on the Secretary of State's side is already not small, but fortunately, although the Mi Army is fighting on French territory, it is the Mi people who suffer, so the Secretary of State also has enough confidence to remain tough on the French. But if there is a big disturbance in the center of Paris, it will be really difficult to explain.
Correspondingly, there are also many people who agree with Elizabeth's approach, when did Mi Jun suffer such a big loss? Although the missile was launched by his own people and hit his own plane, it can be regarded as unlucky at best, but if the Mi Army is reasonable, then it is not called the Mi Army. After suffering this kind of loss, this breath must be sprinkled on the target's head! There is also a logic that since you have suffered such a big loss, wouldn't it be even more of a loss if you still can't succeed in killing the target in the end? As the so-called shameful knife is difficult to sheath, it has reached this point, so simply let Elizabeth continue to resist!
On the other side of the sewer, Lehi followed Ada, carrying the suitcase, and looked at the scene in front of him with curiosity. The light of the tactical flashlight shone on the wall, revealing uneven marks, and if you look closely, they are actually human skeletons! It's all over the wall! If Lehi's soul was not protected by divine power, he might not be frightened when he touched it.
Ida turned her head secretly, and saw that Lehi was just a little curious, still reaching out and touching the wall, and was immediately disappointed: "Have you been here?" Why aren't you scared at all! β
Can a dignified oracle still be afraid of a few skeletons? - Well, there must be more than "several" skeletons here, as far as the eye can see, there are all skull walls! "Haven't been here, just heard about some. This seems to be a scene from the sewers of Paris, right? Lehi touched the wall, his fingers digging at the socket of a skeleton's eye, digging out a lump of mud and scrambling to shake it off.
Ida pouted in disappointment: "Yes, in the sewers of Paris, there are almost three hundred kilometers, and they are all such skeleton tombs. In the Middle Ages, the bodies of the people who died in the Black Death, said to be in the millions, were stored in these sewers, and then gradually concentrated in the underground of several districts, and this kind of wall-like tomb was built, with the tibia and humerus cleverly built, and the skull in the center, so that the structure was stable and at the same time, but also highlighted everyone's position - hey, I said you really are not afraid at all! β
Looking at Ada's eerie face that deliberately put the flashlight on her chin, Lehi laughed: "What is there to be afraid of? How can these dead be as terrible as the living! Don't forget, behind us are chasing a group of soldiers who are eager to take revenge. Hurry up, the two-hour journey is not for you to show me the sewers of Paris, and perhaps after this extradition mission is over, we will have plenty of time to relax and play. β
Ida snorted, turned around and walked briskly, and after a while asked again, "By the way, why didn't you accept Elizabeth's deal just now, but continued to complete this task?" Look at Elizabeth like that, whatever price you want, you can talk about it. Aren't you impressed at all? β
Lehi followed, walking unhurriedly, his ears still pricked up, trying to hear the movement on the ground, and said, "How can Elizabeth be so good at talking?" Until the last moment, she will not really make a deal. Now, if I agree to her deal, firstly, she may have delayed the time and found our position, and secondly, it is very likely that she will turn her face when the time comes to trade, and then I can't do anything about her. I wouldn't do this kind of trading. β
Ida nodded secretly, Lehi's judgment was obviously relatively safe! This kind of transaction, which is not guaranteed by a third party, is extremely risky, and who knows how much sincerity the enemy is? As she walked, she took out a compass from her pocket to point in the direction, this sewer is actually quite easy to walk, as long as you follow the largest and thickest pipes, it is basically parallel to the main road, and people who are familiar with the terrain of Paris will not get lost too easily.
It's just that this way soon can't continue. Elizabeth's men, the angry soldiers of the United States, did not chase after them from behind, but took advantage of their maneuverability on the ground to quickly demarcate the farthest range that Lehi and Ida could reach, and then deployed a tight encirclement, entered the sewer system from different entrances, and surrounded them separately.
So, soon Ida met a team of soldiers guarding the entrance of the sewer road. They set up a makeshift position here, blocked the surrounding defenses with broadsword anti-infantry mines, and skillfully aimed in several directions, although it was only four people, but it also made it impossible for Ada and Lehi to cross the intersection without alarming them.
Retreating a little distance, the two discussed in a low voice for a while, Lehi wanted to go up and kill the four Mi soldiers, but Ida disagreed, thinking that this would expose his own position, after all, these Mi soldiers have electronic terminals on their bodies, even if one person dies, their status will be fed back to the command center in real time.
Lehi couldn't help but feel a pain when he heard this, wouldn't he even have a chance to become a believer? It's impossible to be so lucky, the four soldiers of the United States are all extreme money worshippers! As long as one of them is not, he will have to kill himself, and there is no need to talk about the consequences.
In this case, there is only a detour. The two of them retreated, found a fork in the road, and after walking for fifteen minutes, Ida looked at an iron fence in front of her, and spread her hands helplessly: "I think we have to turn back, it looks like we can't get through here - my God, are you Superman?" "The iron railing, which was two centimeters in diameter, was bent by Lehi with his bare hands!
Of course, this kind of railing was not set up to embarrass people, but it was a major sewer, and from here on, the water level became higher and higher, and from time to time they had to roll up their trousers and step into the water to walk, and even occasionally wade through a small river that was chest-deep. Needless to say, the smell of the sewer is right? Lehi himself is fine, he is more worried about whether Kevin will directly suffocate in the box? Well, after listening to it, it still seems that there is still a heartbeat.
"The sewers of Paris are designed to use the flow of water from high to low, so if we want to find our way up, we have to go against the direction of the currentβ" Ida walked and thought about chatting with Lehi, but this is also human nature, in this dark sewer, there are rats running around from time to time, and she talks to Lehi to help her mind find balance.
Lehi replied without saying a word, no matter how great his magical powers were, he could not withstand the power of the earthly snake, so it was good to follow. After walking about two kilometers, the corners of Ada's mouth twitched as she watched as Li Hai ripped open another iron railing, and couldn't help but pinch his arm: "It's really strange, according to your muscular level, it is absolutely impossible to have such strength!" Is this your Oriental kung fu? β
It's not kung fu is a god fight, will I tell you? Lehi reached out and made a "ladies first" gesture, and then waited for Ida to get through, and then followed. Sure enough, the water level here is basically low, and the walkways on both sides of the sewer are dry, and the two of them stepped on it with their wet feet, making a lot of noise. Fortunately, this sewer is not a completely silent environment, in addition to the faint noise coming from the ground, there are strange sounds, just like ocean noise, the decibel is not small, and the footsteps of the two are mixed in, as long as it is not too excessive, it is not conspicuous.
As soon as he reached a corner, Lehi frowned suddenly, and reached out to grab Ada. Ida was taken by surprise and was about to ask when Lehi came over with one hand and covered her mouth. Ida is not an ordinary person, and after the initial surprise, he immediately reacted. Of course, she wouldn't think that Lehi was suddenly in a hurry and wanted to be rude to her, if Lehi was really this kind of person, he wouldn't let her go on Tahiti!
The two squatted down at the intersection, and Lehi let go of the hand covering Ada's mouth, carried the box, and cautiously walked to the front, listening carefully for a long time. The breathing and heartbeat of the four people were all in place the whole time, without any sound of speaking! This is obviously not the sewer staff or tourists or anything, maybe it is the soldiers of the United States who came for themselves.
The search range is really wide! As soon as Lehi wanted to find a way, the light outside the corner suddenly lit up, and Elizabeth's familiar and unfamiliar laughter came from the front: "Lehi, is that you?" Don't hide, you're very good at hiding, but can you hide from my heartbeat detector? Come out and talk! "End of Chapter 168
