Chapter 160: Counting the Counts (Part I)

It was only when he ran near the entrance of the Queens-Middletown Tunnel that Chu Tianjiang stopped his steps and made a few jumps to the edge of the river. Not far away is the United Nations headquarters.

"Where is she?"

"In the river." Chu Tianjiang pointed towards the ripples on the surface of the river. "This 'flower butterfly' is not only a good long-distance runner, but also a strong swimmer."

"If she were a man, she would definitely be a triathlon champion."

"What now?" Chu Tianjiang did not go down to the river immediately, because the sound made during swimming would definitely be heard by the "flower butterfly".

"That's Roosevelt Island over there, if we go to the island later, will we be able to find her?"

"It's going to work in a few hours, not too late."

Zhang Xiaogang glanced at Chu Tianjiang with a little disbelief, and said, "Even if she left wet footprints, they will disappear after a few hours, right?" ”

"Footprints emit ultraviolet light that is invisible to the human eye and can exist for hours."

"Can you see her now?"

Chu Tianjiang nodded. The night sky was clear, the moonlight and starlight were very bright, even if the "flower butterfly" swam to Roosevelt Island, Chu Tianjiang could see it.

"When she gets to the island, we'll swim over."

Seeing Zhang Xiaogang take off his coat, Chu Tianjiang said, "Don't you want me to help?" ”

"Not this time." Zhang Xiaogang has a strong sense of self-esteem, except for things that can't be done, such as flying eaves and walking on walls, nothing else that can be done will not trouble Chu Tianjiang.

"Why don't you discuss it with the professor and get you a set when our Doomsday Warrior system is made?"

"We'll talk about it then." Zhang Xiaogang smiled and said, "I am an intelligence officer, and I rely on my brain, not brute force, to collect intelligence." ”

"You're right, but having a brain and being strong enough isn't necessarily a bad thing."

Zhang Xiaogang smiled and didn't say anything. After two trips, he was also very envious of Chu Tianjiang, but now was not the time to think about this issue.

Half an hour later, the "Flower Butterfly" swam to Roosevelt Island, and Chu Tianjiang and Zhang Xiaogang also went into the water.

It's the beginning of September, which happens to be the end of summer and the beginning of autumn in the Northern Hemisphere, and the water temperature at night is above 10 degrees Celsius, which is not too cold and does not have a great impact on swimming.

Landing on Roosevelt Island, Chu Tianjiang soon found the footprints left by the "flower butterfly".

Obviously, the "flower butterfly" didn't expect that someone would be able to follow all the way from Times Square, so he didn't pay attention to it.

Not long after, Chu Tianjiang and Zhang Xiaogang came to the vicinity of the prison site.

More than 300 years ago, Roosevelt Island was called Minnahanunk by the Indians and was later bought by Dutch colonists. After the independence of the United States, the island was transferred to New York City, and a prison for felons was built on the island, which became known as Blackwell Island, literally "Black Spring Island", and later from that name Welfare Island. It wasn't until the '70s that the name was changed to Roosevelt Island in honor of President Franklin D. Roosevelt. Although the island's prisons have long since been abandoned to create middle-class settlements and commercial complexes, the ruins of the prisons on the south side of the island have been preserved and become tourist attractions to educate the public about the prisons of the past.

Climbing to the top of a tower, Chu Tianjiang stopped.

"She's in there?"

"It's not just her, it's them. Looks like this should be a butterfly nest. ”

Zhang Xiaogang was a little surprised, because there was no light in the cell in front of him, and there was no abnormal noise, and it looked like a tomb in the wilderness.

"See for yourself." Chu Tianjiang lay down and unfolded the Doomsday Warrior System, allowing a part of it to form the shape of a goggle and cover Zhang Xiaogang's eyes.

The image is on a green background with seven humanoid red spots. Obviously, this is a night vision image produced by combining low-light enhancement with infrared imaging.

"Can you turn it up?"

Chu Tianjiang was stunned for a moment, only to realize that he had forgotten to put on "headphones" for Zhang Xiaogang.

In the cell, there were a total of seven "flower butterflies", only one was lying on the ground, and the other six were all standing, five of them were walking back and forth, and the one that stood without moving was brighter in color, indicating that she had just done strenuous exercise and her body temperature was significantly higher than the others.

"Isabella, you're not being followed, are you?"

"I was very careful along the way, and there were a couple of abrupt stops and a few turns. If someone is following, I'll definitely find out. ”

Isabella is clearly the "flower butterfly" that caused the explosion.

Chu Tianjiang couldn't help laughing, Isabella was indeed very cunning, and she was proficient in anti-tracking techniques, but she didn't know that the stalker was above her head.

"That's fine. Maya was followed after being injured, but fortunately went to a temporary hiding place and did not return directly. ”

"With the situation at that time, I had to treat the wound first, and it was impossible for me to come back directly." It was Maya who spoke, and her voice was a little hoarse, probably due to her physical weakness.

"Maya, who is the person who is following you?" Asking Maya and asking Isabella is a person, and it seems that she is the eldest sister of "Flower Butterfly".

"I don't know, but he's not a bad guy."

"Him?"

"Rachel, not only did he not hurt me, he also helped me with my wounds, and he ......"

"None of the men are good!" The eldest sister roared like a mad lioness roaring at her enemies, and her tone was extremely angry.

"The third one on the left, the one with the most obvious target features." Chu Tianjiang reminded Zhang Xiaogang.

Zhang Xiaogang nodded and didn't say anything more.

"Rachel, Maya is still alive anyway, and ......"

"Chloe, shut up!" Rachel looked furious, "Maya, you have to remember that none of the men are good. That's right, he saved you and released you, and he didn't hurt you, but did you think about it, he let you go, maybe to follow the vine and kill us all! ”

"Rachel, I ......"

"Lily, they haven't heard from them yet, only seven of us are left, if you have three long and two short, I ...... What should I do......"

Rachel was moved by her true feelings, and she was only angry because she cared about her sisters, and the others were silent.

Chu Tianjiang sighed secretly, and Zhang Xiaogang patted him on the shoulder to let him relax.

"Rachel, I'...... I'll be careful later if ......"

"Maya, I'm starting to be too impulsive." Rachel sighed and said, "We managed to get through to this day, and the other sisters are dead. If we can't get rid of Williams and avenge the tragic death of our sisters, we ...... What is the point of our lives? ”

"Rachel, we'll take your lead and never take any more adventures."

"It's good to understand, we live strongly, with only one purpose, which is to kill Williams and avenge all the sisters who were killed by him."

"He's gone to Alamos Labs, we're ......"

"He's definitely coming back and we'll have to be patient." Rachel paused slightly, and then said, "The Planetary Defense Council is preparing to establish a scientific research base on Long Island, Chinese researchers have already arrived, Russian researchers will arrive tomorrow, and researchers from other countries will also arrive one after another." Williams will not miss this opportunity, and he will definitely come to New York once the research base is built. ”

"But he's 'dead,' Burke is still the chief scientific adviser to the United States, and Stark won't let him show up."

"Even if he doesn't show up, he'll come to New York. Don't forget, China sent Luo Jinyong over. If Williams wanted to steal scientific research, he would definitely do it himself. ”

"In that case, we'd better keep an eye on Luo Jinyong."

"Yes, Luo Jinyong is a key mission, and Williams will also send his men close to him. If we want to find Williams, we have to keep an eye on him. ”

"Also, Luo Jinyong is China's chief scientific advisor, maybe he can help us ......"

"Needless to say, we don't need anyone's help, especially men." Rachel is very arbitrary, although she did not maliciously criticize Luo Jinyong, but in her eyes, Luo Jinyong is obviously not a good thing. "You're right, we have to keep an eye on Luo Jinyong, and it's best to get close to him. I've heard that this guy is usually very indecent, and he made a lot of noise before working for the Planetary Defense Council. Not long ago, he went to Tokyo to fool around with the agent named Zhang Xiaogang and the doomsday soldier named Chu Tianjiang, spending more than a million dollars in one night and having relationships with several public relations ladies. It's his weakness, and we have to take advantage of it. ”

The other "flower butterflies" were silent.

Chu Tianjiang and Zhang Xiaogang also found it more interesting the more they listened, especially when Rachel mentioned their names when talking about Tokyo.

"Nicole, you go and approach Luo Jinyong."

"Rachel, I'm ......" Listening to the voice, this "flower butterfly" has a bit of an introverted personality and seems to be very shy.

"You were the last to join, none of Williams' men knew you, and you didn't participate in the attack, so no one should know that you were one of us."

"Yes, Nichole doesn't have our logo and isn't afraid to reveal his identity."

Zhang Xiaogang's brows jumped a few times, and he whispered, "Which one is Nicol?" ”

"The first one on the right."

"Can you see her face clearly?"

Chu Tianjiang shook his head and said, "There is a wall panel in the way, and you have to go out of the room to see her appearance clearly." ”

"There's no hurry, wait and see."

At this time, Rachel walked up to Nichol.

"Nicole, we've always treated you like a little sister, so we haven't let you join the action. None of us can complete this task, only you can get close to Luo Jinyong. I've made arrangements, and after getting rid of Williams, I'll send you out of the United States. ”

"No, I'm not going to leave the United States alone, I'm going to be with you."

"Nicole, listen to me. Whether you can kill Williams or not, whether you can avenge the tragic death of your sister, there is only this one chance. When the scientific research work is over, not only will Luo Jinyong leave the United States, but Williams will not come to New York again, and he will not even appear in any city. We must not miss this opportunity, even if I am asked to die, let me exchange my life for my life, I will not hesitate for the slightest. ”

"Me too!"

"I believe that you are our good sister."

"Rachel ......"

"Rest well, let Kelly take you to Manhattan tomorrow."

"Manhattan?" Nichol's tone had calmed down, and it seemed that he had accepted Rachel's arrangement.

"The place where Luo Jinyong lives is heavily guarded, and if you come to the door for no reason, you will definitely be arrested. With Luo Jinyong's character, as well as Zhang Xiaogang who accompanied him this time, he will definitely not live in the manor all the time. Besides, it won't be until a few days before the research base is officially operational, and sooner or later they will go to Manhattan. By the way, his personal bodyguard is Yan Wenbin, and that guy is not a fuel-efficient lamp. ”

Zhang Xiaogang was stunned for a moment, and then laughed.

Chu Tianjiang couldn't help but laugh, and gave Zhang Xiaogang a fist, telling Zhang Xiaogang not to laugh.

"In that case, I'll go too."

"Maya, your injuries are not healed, you can't go."

"Rachel, I ......"

"In addition, the person who rescued you is most likely the Chinese guard who came with Luo Jinyong. What would you do if you met him? ”

"I'll kill him."

"Really?"

"I swear, I ......"

"I believe you, but by doing so, our plans will be exposed, and even Nichol's identity will be exposed, so you have to stay."

"But ......"

"Needless to say, it was decided. Michelle, you and Kelly will send Nichole to Manhattan tomorrow to protect Nichole in the shadows. ”

"Yes."

"It's not early, let's go and rest."

The conversation of the seven "flower butterflies" ended here, knowing that there was no news worth listening to, Chu Tianjiang withdrew the doomsday warrior system.
