Chapter 017: Strange Neighbors
Tips:
"No way!"
Yang Fan frowned and said, "That will bring trouble to your family!" ”
"No, I don't actually live with my family."
Natalie explains, "Since I retired, I've moved out on my own, and I don't want to see anyone, so it's more secluded!
And more importantly, I live right by the sea, probably in the same direction as our evacuation point. ”
Evan asked, a little embarrassed, "Is there anyone with you ......?"
"No, it's just me!" Natalie said.
Yang Fan lowered his head and thought for a moment, and said, "That's good! If you decide to come with us, then it doesn't matter if you're found there. Then let's find a place to hide and then leave after dark. ”
The three of them found some magazines from the corpses at the entrance of the alley and left the alley.
They hide in the middle of nowhere, changing locations as soon as they spot a suspicious person. Yang Fan has gradually matured in this area after Anna's training, while Natalie has been rigorously trained by the Mossad, and is even stronger than Yang Fan in this aspect. The three of them were also relatively easy to hide, and easily evaded all the police patrols.
Around midnight, the three of them sneaked to Natalie's residence. It's a residential area not far from the beach, and it's not a very high-end area.
The distance between the apartment buildings is small, the building density is high, and it should be a place for those with low incomes.
Downstairs in the apartment are all kinds of small vendors, mainly selling food and daily necessities, and all of them are closed by this time.
There are also a few rooms in the apartment building that are lit up, and the occasional frenzied music and shouting can be heard coming from inside.
Natalie lives in Room 528 of Building 3, and the three of them take the elevator to the 5th floor and do not notice anything unusual. This floor is very quiet, and I think everyone should have fallen asleep.
Natalie came to the door of 528, took out the key and opened the door, she first observed, then turned on the light, signaling that there was no problem inside Yang Fan and Evan.
The three of them entered Natalie's room.
It's a bachelor apartment, the living room is small, there is not much else to do but a set of sofas, but it is very clean.
Yang Fan actually found a lot of small pink furniture and some headrests with cartoon patterns. This surprised him, he couldn't have imagined that a woman as strong as Natalie would like such a little woman's things.
Natalie poured Yang Fan and Evan a glass of water, and the three of them sat on the sofa to rest.
Natalie said, "I'm fairly secluded here, and I have enough food. It is populated by low-income people from other countries who have come to Israel to make a living, and they are generally law-abiding, and the police would not normally search for them. We don't have to go out tomorrow and wait until T3 decides on a retreat route. ”
Evan nodded and said, "That's the best, we also need to rest and replenish our strength." I'm sure your T3 people will be able to arrange an evacuation route for us, and the people who support us should be there tomorrow evening! ”
Yang Fan also nodded and drank a large glass of water in one go. Then he put the water glass on the table, and he stumbled upon two picture frames on the table not far away, a picture of three people, two men in military uniforms, a lieutenant colonel, a corporal, and a little girl of seven or eight years old in the middle, and the three of them were smiling very happily.
Another photo shows two people, a man with the rank of major, next to a teenage Natalie, both of whom have serious expressions.
He guessed that this was what Aaron had said about Natalie's grandfather and father, who had died for Israel.
Yang Fan didn't want to mention Natalie's family affairs, so he looked away and asked, "Natalie, why do you live in this kind of place?" It stands to reason that there should be no shortage of money in your family, and you can earn money doing security work. ”
Natalie picked up the water glass, took a sip of water, put it down again, shrugged her shoulders, and said, "I think there is more life here, and the people here are very humane." It's a blessing to live with them, and a lot of people here are just living for today.
Some of them go to work as handymen, some do small business downstairs, and some even specialize in special services. They had a hard life, but everyone was real.
They need to do their best to make sure that they can survive today, so they don't have the time and energy to disguise themselves, let alone calculate others, I think this kind of life is very pure.
I would also like to live with them, they are simple and real. Here, I feel down-to-earth and relaxed! ”
"Aren't you going home, then?" Evan asked.
Natalie shook her head and said, "I don't go back often. If I don't have a task, I might go home every month or two.
I don't like it there, and when I get home, I always think about a lot of old things. My mom was able to live well on her own, so I chose what I loved to do. ”
Yang Fan found that Natalie's mood was a little depressed, and he was thinking about how to ease the atmosphere. Suddenly, he heard movement in the bedroom, and someone was slowly opening the bedroom door.
Yang Fan pulled out his pistol, quickly stood up and aimed in the direction of the bedroom, Natalie also noticed the movement in the bedroom, and also pulled out the gun and aimed in that direction.
When Evan also stood up, and he pulled out his gun, the bedroom door was completely open, and out of the bedroom came a sleepy-eyed woman.
The man was wearing a one-piece nightdress that was not very new, but she could still tell that her figure was relatively plump, and her blonde hair was scattered, blocking her eyes that were not fully open.
She yawned and asked lazily, "Natalie, you're back." ”

Tips:
"Mary, why are you here?" Natalie lowered her gun and asked in surprise.
The woman named Mary opened her eyes at this time, and then she saw Yang Fan and Evan and the muzzles of the two black holes, she immediately came to her senses, raised her hands high, and asked in a trembling voice, "Who are you?" Don't kill me? ”
Then he looked at Natalie Leigh with a pleading gaze and said, "Natalie, who are they?" You tell them not to kill me! Don't kill me! ”
Yang Fan and Evan saw that Natalie was a little embarrassed, so they slowly put down their guns.
Natalie walked up to Mary's side and asked sharply, "Mary, why are you here?!" ”
Mary was still a little frightened, her body was still a little trembling, she lowered her head, and said softly, "It was you who gave me the key to your apartment, and said that if you don't have anything to eat, you can come here and get it." Today...... Tonight I went to 'work' and met a madman who I didn't want to do her business, so he followed me all the way here, blocking my door and harassing me.
There's no way, I'll come to you while he's out to buy food. Because...... I was so tired, so I fell asleep. ”
Natalie was angry and helpless when she heard this, and she patted her forehead with her hand, not knowing what to do with the current situation.
After a while, she looked at Mary and said, "We didn't find anyone at your door when we came!" He should be gone, you can go back too! ”
Mary was stunned for a moment, then nodded again and again, and said, "Okay, okay." I'll go now! ”
She immediately went to the bedroom to get her clothes and left in a panic.
Natalie looked at Yang Fan and Evan with some embarrassment, and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't know Mary ...... her"
Evan waved his hand and said, "Forget it, as long as she doesn't reveal our whereabouts, it doesn't matter!" But, Natalie, how do you know such a person? There are too many such people, and you can't help them if you want to! ”
Evan didn't wait for Natalie to answer, but sat down on the couch again, this day of hiding in Tibet really consumed a lot of his physical strength and energy.
Yang Fan frowned tightly and asked, "Natalie, can you be sure that Mary won't reveal my whereabouts?" ”
"Probably not!"
"Mary is very timid, she is an American, she was abandoned by her husband, she is an orphan, she came here two years ago," Natalie said. She just had to do something...... I do some leather and meat business to make a living, and I usually take care of her.
But don't worry, Mary is very timid. Moreover, she rarely interacts with the police, and she will definitely not tell what happened today! ”
Yang Fan nodded and said, "That's good." You and Evan need to rest, and as long as she doesn't reveal my whereabouts, we'll stay here for the time being. ”
"Okay."
Natalie took some fruit, milk and bread out of the fridge, and the three of them ate some briefly. Evan collapsed on the couch exhausted, his eyes closed involuntarily.
Natalie looked at Yang Fan and said, "You can sleep on the floor of the bedroom, the living room is too small, and there is no place to rest except for the sofa." ”
Yang Fan smiled and said, "It's okay, I'll just make do with it on the chair." ”
Natalie stood up and said, "We've all been on the battlefield, don't worry about that." Maybe we'll have a lot of battles tomorrow, so you'll need to get plenty of rest and come in! ”
Natalie walked into the bedroom, Yang Fan thought for a moment and followed in.
The bedroom is very warmly furnished, no different from the bedroom of an ordinary little girl, but the furniture inside is very simple, only a single bed and a wardrobe.
Natalie took out a quilt from the closet and handed it to Yang Fan, and spread something on the wooden floor.
After doing this, Natalie lay down on the bed, she turned her back to Yang Fan and said, "Someone will come to deliver milk and newspapers at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning, someone will come to deliver fruit at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, and no one should come at the rest of the time."
"Okay, I see!"
Yang Fan lay on the floor, covered the quilt, and slowly closed his eyes.
The next day, as soon as it was dawn, Yang Fan came out of the bedroom, and he first opened the door to observe the situation in the corridor. He found out that there were no surveillance cameras, but that was good news for their current situation.
After some inspection, Yang Fan returned to the living room and observed the situation outside through the window, and found nothing abnormal.
Natalie has also gotten up and is preparing breakfast in the kitchen.
After the three of them had breakfast, Yang Fan contacted Parker, and after hanging up the phone, he said to Evan and Natalie: "The people from Group B will be able to arrive in Tel Aviv at about 3 pm today, and they will get in touch with the local military directly." As for the final evacuation location, it will be determined at noon today! ”
Evan leaned back on the couch, finally breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Well, it's close to the beach, and it shouldn't be dangerous if we leave by water." ”
Yang Fan nodded and said, "If neither the Deadly Sword nor the police find us, we should be able to reach the evacuation point smoothly." Hopefully there won't be any more problems. ”
Around ten o'clock in the morning, there was a knock on the door.
The three of them pulled out their pistols at the same time to remain vigilant, Natalie signaled Yang Fan and Evan not to be too nervous, she walked to the door and hid the pistol behind her with her right hand, and slowly opened the door with her left hand.
Outside, a man with a carton of fresh milk and a stack of newspapers in his hand, said, "Hello, Miss Natalie, this is your milk and newspaper for today." ”
