Chapter 121: Little Hope (01)
The two of them searched the explosion site and failed to find the ghost, tossed for a long time, no, the result was as anxious as ants on a hot pot, they retreated more than ten meters to see the kid under a tree, the ghost at this time was really disgraced sitting there, looking at the front with dull eyes.
"His grandmother's was dumbfounded." The heavy punch understood what was going on at a glance, and he went up and slapped the ghost directly, and the guy raised his head with a dull gaze.
"You deserve to jump out of the car early." Seeing that he didn't seem to be a big deal, Worm couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Did you hit me just now?" The ghost covered his face and looked at the heavy punch in a daze.
"Nope!" The punch lifted him up from the ground, "Can you go?" ”
"Didn't hit me......" The ghost was a little suspicious, but he was still not particularly conscious, "I feel like you hit me......"
"How is that possible? You're dumbfounded...... Go, hurry up, the enemy will soon arrive. The punch dragged him forward.
The enemy would certainly send someone to determine whether they were alive or dead, and the interval would not be too long, most likely the enemy in the car that had followed them before.
Seeing the ghost's state and knowing that he needed time to recover, Worm picked up his gear pack and followed all the way.
The three of them ran all the way forward under the cover of the forest, and it took a long time for the ghost to come to his senses, and when he jumped out of the car, he did fall not lightly, and was lifted by the shock wave and hit the tree, so he was dizzy.
"Carry it on your own." Worm threw the backpack directly to the ghost.
"It hurts to hit your head." The ghost rubbed the back of his head as he ran, and there was a lot of blood on his hands.
"Who told you not to jump out of the car sooner? Deserve. Heavy punch said.
"If you go too fast, you're going to get caught jumping out of the car at high speeds, and now they think we've been killed, and we can buy ourselves some time." The ghost wiped the blood from his hand on his clothes, "What's next?" Where are we going? ”
"We're not out yet." "It must disappear from their view as soon as possible." ”
"The area of this forest is very large, it shouldn't be a problem to get out, we should determine where we should go in the end, so blindly running around, it's not a way." "We're heading to the deepest part of the forest, there's a road 6 kilometers to the east and a lumber yard 3.5 kilometers to the south, and it's going to take at least two days to hike through the entire forest. ”
"Go east." Heavy punch said.
"You should take care of the wound first." It was found that the heavy punch of the warehouse pipe had been soaked in blood.
"It's not a big deal." Heavy punch looked down, although it hurt, but it didn't have much impact, there was an exoskeleton system to support, which could minimize the impact of the injury.
"It's better to deal with it, at least to stop the bleeding." I also don't think it's the way to go on like this.
"Okay, give me some time." The heavy punch stopped, rolled up the trouser tube to examine the wound, and the wound that had begun to heal collapsed again, dripping with blood.
The ghost and the insect stopped, separated him in the middle, and raised their guns to watch vigilantly at the movements around them
Heavy punch rinsed the wound with a small bottle of portable disinfectant, sprayed hemostatic spray, sealed the wound with a quick fixation bandage, and put a circle of fixing glue on the outside, then he stood up and jumped again, the anesthetic effect of these sprays made him feel that the wound was swollen, and the wound seemed to have become a piece of wood that he didn't feel, although it didn't hurt so much, but it was not comfortable, and he readjusted, pushing the unsupported exoskeleton system, plus the support of the injured calf.
The whole process was only a little more than two minutes, and by the time he got up again, he was no longer limping like before, and on the surface he looked like he was walking like a fly, not at all like an injured person.
After half an hour of non-stop marching, they finally reached the highway, the speed is not ordinarily fast, in this complex environment they can reach the destination in such a short time is indeed difficult for ordinary people to do, after all, this is not a flat land, let alone a road, there are many difficulties in walking.
"And then what? Waiting for a ride here? The ghost asked, gasping.
"I don't think anyone will dare to stop." Worm said as I put my gun into my kit.
"Take a break." Heavy punch looked at his watch.
The three of them retreated to the forest on the side of the road to rest, and the worm checked the map again to confirm the current location: "This road leads directly to the lumberyard, and there are usually no vehicles coming and going, so it is likely that there will be no cars passing here for a day." ”
"Rest your legs first." The ghost took off his shirt, and the wound on his shoulder was also cracked, but he didn't notice it before, and when the worm saw this, he immediately helped him treat the wound and re-seal it.
"Alpha, is there anything suspicious?" Heavy Punch asked after taking a few sips of water.
"The forest is dense, and there are no valuable discoveries." "I can't even determine if there's any traffic approaching the road, the trees here are too tall and the woods are so large that we don't have good data." ”
"Have you confirmed the whereabouts of the drone?" Heavy punch asked again.
"The drone has flown to the city and has not landed yet, and is being monitored." Alpha said.
"Okay, got it." Heavy punch said.
Alpha continued: "The situation on the captain's side is not good, and they are being tracked by unknown persons, and the probability of being CIA agents is as high as 70% based on the information obtained so far. ”
"Who else but them could retaliate so quickly?" The ghost's wounds had been healed, and he said as he got dressed, "We are their ultimate goal, and their ultimate goal in troubleing the captain is to get information about us!" ”
"Could it be the Steppenwolf who pretended you killed Steppenwolf?" Worm asked.
Heavy Punch nodded and said: "I can't rule out this possibility, maybe this is just a way for the tiger fish to retaliate, he is very likely to do such an extreme thing, but he lacks a credible reason." ”
"If you want me to see that he is probably just to vent his anger, people like him will take revenge, but he has suffered a lot under our men before, although he didn't show up, but his subordinates were killed by us, how could he suffer this secret loss?" The ghost said, waving his arm.
Heavy punch said: "Don't draw such a conclusion first, we are just guessing, there is no evidence that this matter is related to him, but it is not ruled out that his suspicion is not ruled out, and then we will conduct a key investigation and verification after we get out, and see who is behind the trouble, we will not carry this black cauldron." ”
It wasn't long before a car appeared on the side of the road, and it turned out that Punch had already told Bruce's men to pick them up, and from the moment he decided to walk through the woods, it had been set to meet on the road.
The three of them finally breathed a sigh of relief after getting into the car, at least they didn't have to continue trekking in the woods, and with the help of Bruce's people, they could rest assured.
"You have already made arrangements and don't say a word, which makes us worry about it." Worm expressed displeasure with the heavy punch for deliberately concealing it.
"I see......," the ghost suddenly turned his head, "you deliberately exposed it to let them know that we were here, if we did the Bali thing, it would not have been possible to appear in this place so soon, do you want them to understand that we don't have anything to do with it?" ”
"How is that possible? Even if they found out that we were here, they wouldn't have thought it had anything to do with me, they didn't know which was true, and they might have thought we were just masked impostors, but it did allow them to think about whether it was us who killed Steppenwolf to a certain extent, which was a reminder at best, but it was far from solving the problem at hand. "I hope it will do something." ”
"So where do we go next? Do you have to find a place to hide? Worm asked.
"We really have to hide, our injury is not as good as ten days and a half of recuperation, we have to find a place to rest, recover, and avoid the limelight." Heavy punch said.
"How can there be such a good place? They have global search capabilities, so it doesn't seem easy for us to find a suitable place to fix it, right? "The ghosts' worries are indeed not superfluous, the CIA's intelligence gathering capabilities and methods are world-class, and they do have certain difficulties in finding a quiet place.
"Bruce will help us make it out, don't worry about that, let's find a beautiful place to stay for a few days, change the environment, and it's not a bad thing to fix it." He slapped Bruce's men who were driving, "Where are we going?" Go to your place of stay, or somewhere else? ”
"The place has been chosen for you, and you will be there almost tonight." The man said, "Don't worry, it's definitely a good place." ”
The sky outside has gradually become gloomy, and it seems that it is going to rain, but they don't care about how the weather changes in the car now, after all, the change of weather does not do any harm to them, but it will become a factor hindering detection for the enemy, and the role of drones and satellites will be reduced to a certain extent in rainy weather.
Recently, in the evening, the rain finally fell, but it was just a drizzle, the car ran all the way in the rain, and arrived at the destination when it was dark, this is a villa in the jungle, and it is a large villa by the lake, in front of which is a small lake, on one side is a verdant jungle, on the other side of the lake shore is a large area of grass, and in the distance is a lush green mountain.
"It has everything you need, try not to contact the outside world, food can support a month's consumption, weapons and equipment are in the dark compartment behind the mural in the main hall, if you need anything, you can call this directly." The person who sent them left a phone and left.
"It's almost tossed and messed up outside, but we have to hide here, why do you feel that this is not steady?" The ghost looked at the big house in front of him and was not at all happy.
"Your current physical state is really not suitable for running around, the wounds have signs of infection, let it develop and the consequences are unimaginable, holding on is not the way, now the whole world is looking for you, it is better to avoid the limelight here, don't make trouble for yourself, the captain They will definitely take similar measures to avoid trouble, there must be something behind this matter that we don't know, we lack enough clues now, and there may not be anything to gain when we go out to toss, let's talk about recuperation!" The worm comforted them.
"Don't think it's a simple vacation here, we don't have to go out to toss, but we can't let go of the work we can do, intelligence collection and analysis still have to continue, of course, this has to be done through channels, not we go out and run in person." Pushed open the door with a heavy fist and walked in, and the sensor lights lit up one by one.
"What a big house." The ghost dropped the equipment bag in his hand and took a deep breath, "Sure enough, it's different, I seem to smell the smell of nobility." ”
"What's so special? It's just a bigger house, don't you just need a three-foot-wide board to sleep? What is the use of an eight-meter bed? "I don't think there's anything special about it.
"It's a little cold, light the fireplace!" Heavy punch took off his wet clothes and threw them aside, "I'll go change my clothes, I'll see you later." ”
"I'll have to change too." Worm carried his gear bag to a room in the other direction.
"Just let me make a fire?" The ghost pouted and added firewood to the fireplace, and after searching for a long time and couldn't find anything to start the fire, he went to the wine cabinet and took a bottle of wine, poured it on the firewood and lit it, and then sat on the sofa next to him and roasted the fire, drinking the remaining half of the bottle.
After a while, a heavy punch came out of it, and he sat on the sofa on the other side and put the gun on his lap: "Go change your clothes." ”
"There's no hurry." The ghost handed him the bottle, "Yes, it's very energetic. ”
He took a big sip with a heavy fist, and the spicy taste rushed straight to his stomach, choking, and almost squirting out again: "This fucking is clearly pure alcohol." ”
"Finally found a place where you don't have to get wet." Worm took a towel and wiped his hair as he walked out of it, "It's so cold in this rain. ”
"It's better to be cold." The ghost leaned there and didn't move, and the growing fireplace flame baked his wet clothes with a layer of water vapor, which stood out against the beating firelight.
"You're not afraid of steaming yourself?" Kicked him with a heavy fist, "Hurry up and change your clothes, and try to get as little water as possible from the wound." ”
"Really...... Too lazy to move. The ghost stood up with a seemingly laborious effort, and staggered his things to the cloakroom.
"It's a really good place." Worm took out a few boxes of military canned food and threw them on the edge of the fireplace to bake and heat, "It's still this stuff to eat, it doesn't seem to match this place." ”
"You can go fishing in the lake." Heavy Punch leaned there and said with his eyes closed, looking tired.
"It's your man's job." Worm sat on the other side and stared at the dancing flames in the fireplace.
"Who else can you think of other than the tiger fish to frame us?" Punch and put your arm under your head and ask!
"The rebels and government forces in Knubia, and the consortium that supported the government forces in the early days, Ruben's men, Asker's employers! It is possible that although these people are not strong, they are not short of money in their hands, and it is possible to hire someone to impersonate them. Worm said nonchalantly.
"You're counting all the people we've fought and can call enemies." The punch is a little helpless.
"We can't ignore any potential adversary until we rule out their suspicions." The worm turned the cans in a different direction and continued to bake.
"How can we investigate the scope?" Punch opened his eyes and looked at the ceiling.
"If you want me to say you'd better heal your injuries first! Your wound will definitely be worse if it is re-opened than a new one. The ghost came out with a large piece of frozen meat from the kitchen and fiddled with it trying to stand on the fireplace flame.
"It's a big nuisance, how could you not want to? We're now behind the wheel of a senior CIA agent, and someone would want us to go to war with the CIA, but I still can't figure out why? Heavy punch rubbed his face hard, "Tiger Fish does not lack such a motive, but he should also understand the consequences of doing this, it is precisely because he is the most suspicious, so I don't think he did it, he will not do this kind of thing that is too obvious to provoke the body." ”
"You know him that well?" The ghost scrambled to get the flesh out of the fire.
"It's not the kind of fireplace where you can barbecue." Worm was upset that he touched his can.
"There's always a way." The ghost still doesn't want to give up.
"It's nothing, I don't know, that's not his style of doing things." Punch yawned.
"Maybe he'll do the opposite this time and do something that makes others think he won't do to avoid suspicion?" The ghost found his analysis unconvincing.
"Maybe you're right, but I still don't think so." "But he's still the focus of our investigation, at least until there's enough evidence to prove that this has nothing to do with him." ”
"What about the others? Can't be ignored? Worm asked.
"Of course not, it's just that we have limited manpower, and even if we gather everyone, it is impossible to investigate all the suspicious subjects, which requires the cooperation of the channel, especially Bruce, who seems to be the only one we can trust at the moment."
"This is a big project, these guys without exception have strong economic strength and deep background, I am afraid it will take a long time to find out their relationship with this matter, this is still enough investigation means to cooperate with the premise, it is indeed not possible to rely on us to complete." The ghost finally got his wish and put the piece of meat on the edge of the fire, and sat down to the side to watch the fire in satisfaction.
"Alpha, list all the suspicious people according to the available information, rank them in order, and analyze the reasons for the threat one by one, I need detailed information, no matter how slim the hope, we have to try." Heavy Punch sighed and laboriously sat up from the couch, "Contact Bruce, there are some things I need to discuss with him......"
