Chapter 1: The Back Road (I)
I sat in a taxi and closed my glasses to get some rest. It's not that I'm tired, it's that I have a deep sense of loss in my heart. It's not simply demoralization and malaise. Instead, he questioned everything he had done, and he didn't feel low about the future of himself and his companions around him.
My disbelief in the prospects of the seventeenth innings is not unwarranted speculation, but for good reason. First of all, the seventeenth bureau has many disasters and difficulties, and has played the role of a pioneer since the day it appeared, but this has no good results, and for a long time it feels marginalized and not in the center of power, which can be seen from the group of people gathered by the old guy, among them, there is no spring breeze to be proud, all of them are frustrated, or even forgotten.
Although the form has improved with the efforts of the old guy and his gang, it is just a change. And now? I think Russia has abandoned the seventeenth game, they don't have the guts to confront NATO like this, at least not now. They tried to stop the old guy Eunice, but the old guy was stubborn, and from what I knew about him, the old man thought very highly of himself. Although his level and status are no longer as good as those bigwigs in Russia, there are few people who can really take this old guy seriously. Maybe Klinger counts one, and another old thing in Russia is one. Other.. Maybe not anymore. So now, not only do we have no support, but we have one more force to guard against. In a sense, we have lost our way out. Originally, everyone could have retreated to Russia after the incident, but now? Apparently this is not possible. That's why I told Rebic to run their own way.
Secondly, the seventeenth bureau concentrated all its forces here. Although the seventeenth game is full of unlucky ghosts, these unlucky ghosts are still very united under the leadership of the old guy Younis. And here, I don't think we can get out of the way, and from the news we have received so far, the other side has also opened up a posture and gathered people to attack us. In such a situation, even if the old guy Younis achieves his goal in the end, how many people will survive in the seventeenth round.
I even think it's a big question whether the old guy will be able to get out of it himself, let alone anyone else. And then ... The rest of the people, running and running, scattering, what else is there in the seventeenth round? Maybe there's only one sign left.
I suddenly felt like I shouldn't have thought about this... Because it's useless anymore. It's all in progress, and we're all caught up in it. Now I should be thinking about the future, even if it is difficult to predict what will happen after that, but it makes more sense for me to think about it. After all, I can't let Lukovic, my own companions, end here.
The taxi quickly took me to the place. I didn't ask the driver to drive directly to our stop, I just asked him to stop a block outside an adjacent block and walk all the way back to the stop.
After returning to the house, Lukovic and Ah Liang were still busy. The old wolf sat on a chair beside him and watched them quietly, as if he was thinking about something.
Salim, who was on the side, saw me coming back and said, "Is it going well with Rebic?" ”
"Smooth." I said as I pulled out Rebic's notebook, "Now it's been determined that there is a person hiding in the police station." But I can't be sure it's the mother and daughter. ”
Hearing me say this, Lukovich stopped what he was doing, turned his head to look at me, and said, "Is that going to act?" ”
"Yes. Let's go. I said and pointed to the things in his and Ah Liang's hands, "How long will it take for these to be used?" ”
"It's going to take a while... Almost... You'll be able to get it done in the evening. But you'll have to give it a try. Lukovic said.
"Speed up. We need to act as soon as possible. After saying that, I looked at Salim, "Call Kristovic up, let's discuss the steps and plans of the operation." ”
"Are you going to do it?" The old wolf, who couldn't understand us, stood up and asked.
I nodded to him and said in Chinese, "That's right." It's time to get started. We don't have time to go on like this. After saying that, I motioned for the old wolf to sit down, and after pulling a chair and sitting down, I continued, "I think you should think about what you will do after that." I said, gesturing outside, "You won't be able to stay here anymore." Ever wondered where to go? What do you think of my previous advice? ”
"You're running with us?" The old wolf said and pointed at Ah Liang.
"Yes. You and Ah Liang. I want to get you out. I said.
"What about you? Are you sure you can get out alive? The old wolf immediately asked rhetorically.
I shook my head, "I can't be sure, so I'll have to ask ahead of time, and then I'll make arrangements." ”
"How is it arranged? Can I know? The old wolf then asked.
"You don't have to be part of the action. And you will leave while we are moving. If you say yes, I'll start arranging it right away. I said and pulled out the phone.
"Where to go? Where to run? ”
I pointed to the east and said, "Italy." Zhao Yi should be in Italy. If you want to go back to China, I will ask him to take you and Ah Liang back. ”
The old wolf didn't answer immediately, but smiled bitterly after glancing at Ah Liang and said, "I can't imagine that I will be so embarrassed when I leave France one day, like a lost dog... ”
"Old Lu, stay in the green mountains and don't be afraid of no firewood. It's better to be alive and free than anything else. I said and picked up the phone, "Can I say yes?" ”
"Okay... The old wolf nodded helplessly, "Then where is Fenalo... ”
"You'd better stop contacting him. I got the news when I went out before. As I spoke, I took out the picture of the young man from Berlin and handed it to the old wolf, "This man is here to deal with us." And it is said that this man has a rough idea of the characteristics of the place where we are hiding. ”
The old wolf took the photo and looked at it, and after a moment of silence, he smiled and said, "Do you think they want to capture us or kill us directly?" ”
"It depends on who's coming. But I think it's more likely to be lived. I said.
"Huh." The old wolf smiled and returned the photo to me, saying, "I've thought about the scene many times in the past two days when I couldn't run away. ”
"Oh? You can do it. Generally, thinking too much about this can affect your mood and morale a lot. I took the picture and said.
"It doesn't affect ... I was already in no mood and morale. I thought about it, if I can't escape, I will surrender, and then cooperate, and put all the blame on you, either ignorant or coerced by you. The old wolf said as a matter of course.
"Huh." The old wolf's words made me laugh out loud, "I thought how could a person of your age learn from a revolutionary predecessor like Sister Jiang... ”
"Don't... In this matter. The first thing that comes to my mind is Pu Zhigao。。。。。 The old wolf waved and said very confidently.
Fat! Ask for fat!!!! Another big chapter has begun!!!
