Chapter 164: The Night Is Dark
After the injection, the wound on Queana's right arm that had been healed opened directly, and a foul-smelling yellow water began to flow out. Eight?? One? Chinese???.? 8?1(a)Z?(8). (a) C (a) O (a) M None of this caught Emerson's attention. He smashed his mouth as if he was still savoring the blood of Queanna he had just sucked, and he looked like he was enjoying it. Finally, stimulated by the smell, he stared at Quana's wound for a while, his mouth opened to reveal two canine teeth, and suddenly lowered his head and licked it with his tongue in the red and swollen area~ for a while, and then the monster smiled and said, "What is this called in vampire legends?" First kiss! Quana, from now on, you are my real daughter! β
When Emerson bit the large vein in Queanna's right hand, Lang Zhan had just fallen asleep. Suddenly, as if someone had stabbed him in the heart, he roared in pain, sat up from the bed~ with a "poof", and quickly turned his head to look around sweating.
Lori sat cross-legged on the sand chair across from him, and immediately opened her eyes when she heard his scream. Jumping down barefoot, she walked up to Lang Zhan and asked, "Werewolf, have a nightmare?" "Go grab his hand.
"Don't touch meβwooβ" Lang Zhan roared in a low voice, like a tiger that had been broken into his territory by other beasts, his two eyes, which were only slightly reddened, had been completely dyed red, and a fierce light burst out. Lori stopped and looked at him worriedly.
"Lori, come out, no one else can help him now," Hawkeye's voice sounded at the door, and at some point, he and the African bison and others appeared at the door.
Lori stepped back out the door, and asked softly after exiting, "What's wrong with him?" I had a feeling he was mentally wrong. β
Hawkeye's demeanor seemed very calm, and he didn't look strange. He took the lead and walked out, saying as he said, "In order to become a qualified warrior, no, to be precise, a qualified mercenary and killer, this is the process that must be experienced. Who is man's worst enemy? Myself! Don't worry, I've seen everything that is much more exaggerated than Gabriel, it's fine. β
"It's just a trip to KrΓ©miya, why has it changed so much? Could it be because of the new mission-" Lori said with a frown. She sometimes became very irritable during this time, but compared to Lang Zhan, it was a big deal.
Hawkeye glanced towards the gate and shook his head slightly. The stronghold has a permanent staff on duty, and they stay outside in the room. They didn't know that Oakes was dead, otherwise, even if it was Hawkeye, it was estimated that they would not be able to remain calm.
Lang Zhan's brain was fighting at this time, and Queana's delicate face floated and fell in his mind, clear for a while and blurry for a while, and sometimes it would actually change into another female face with oriental characteristics. The confusion in his thoughts made his heart beat so fast, and the blood in his body flowed faster and faster, and gradually had a tendency to boil. His eyes had already turned red, and there seemed to be a faint red light flashing from time to time. And if someone touches ~ his eyelids or the skin around his eyes with his hands, it will definitely be very hot. As a result, some of the wounds on his body, which had been completely healed, squirmed again, causing a thick stratum corneum to form in those areas. And under the military blanket, the scales on his feet that had grown against the skin seemed to be able to breathe, and they were snapping together with the rapid beat of his heart.
The night was destined to be unpeaceful. In the capital of the United States, in that famous white palace, President O'Guanhai is receiving Tate.
"Do you suspect that Emerson sent someone to kill General Oakes?" Ao Guanhai asked with a frown, his eyes full of irritability.
Since the president can no longer be re-elected indefinitely, this is the psychological process that every president of the United States who is about to leave office will go through when his second term expires. The so-called lame president. Because at this time, Quan Mi's eyes will be focused on the two presidential candidates, and will no longer be focused on his upcoming predecessor.
"Your Excellency, not doubt, but conviction. It's just that we haven't caught the murderer, and there is no conclusive evidence yet. β
"As long as the murderer is caught, he will definitely be able to grasp the evidence?" Ao Guanhai's brows furrowed even tighter, obviously not believing his words.
Questioned face-to-face, Tate was slightly embarrassed, touched ~ touched his nose and said: "If you go through the judicial process, of course, you still need some hands and a long time to litigate, so I hope-"
Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Ao Guanhai shook his head directly, and then said in a tone with a little self-pity and self-pity: "General, you should know that my current situation is very embarrassing. I'm sorry, though I am very sorry for the death of General Oakes, but I can't do it by signing a special decree against a well-known businessman who has always paid taxes in accordance with the law. By the way, look at this, this is what Director Reus sent me. β
Taking a piece of printer paper from Ao Guanhai's hand, Tate glanced twice, his brows jumped, and he couldn't bear the anger in his heart anymore. With a "snap", he slapped the printer paper on the table and roared: "****! Sooner or later, the country will be ruined at the hands of these mercenary bastards. β
The contents of the printed paper are about Baker Sr.'s visit to Emerson. The above is also an analysis of Baker Sr.'s intentions, and the conclusions reached are hardly different from the facts.
"They are committing a crime, sir, do you know? After knowing that Oakes was assassinated, I broke out in a cold sweat - I, a dignified lieutenant general in the United States, actually felt threatened! Is there anything more ridiculous than that, Your Excellency? β
It's really ridiculous, because as the real power generals of the United States, they have never been the only ones who threaten others, when will they be threatened? But now, Tate did feel the chill from the inside out. In terms of military rank, position, and real power, Oakes is almost on par with him. On the other hand, since Emerson dared to hire a murderer or drive his men to assassinate Oakes, he may not have the courage to assassinate him. Perhaps, the killer is already lurking somewhere, waiting to be attacked when he is unprepared.
Tate soared, Ao Guanhai was speechless. With the addition of the Baker family, this whirlpool, which was originally only aimed at the Emerson consortium, has been completely muddy, and what will happen next, even with Ao Guanhai's status, he can't see it all at once. Seeing him like this, Tate's brows tightened together, his face darkened two points, and he said: "Mr. President, with all due respect, Emerson's move is obviously a demonstration, and if we can't fight back, it will not only affect your majesty, but will also make him even more fearless and unscrupulous." β
"How do you think I'm going to get Congress to pass the Civil Commercial Satellite Use Modification Act right away? The reason why the Baker family intervened in this matter must be because of AS~M's sixth-generation satellite technology, and once federal legislation restricts it, then the Baker family may lose interest," O'Ao said.
Tate thought for a moment and said, "That's a solution, but what if Congress can't get through there?" Tate's concern is justified, there is more than one Baker family staring at the fat of AS~M right now. Moreover, among the members of Congress, there are many people or families whose interests are linked to commercial satellites. Once these people join forces, it is still possible to drag it out for a year and a half, even if it cannot prevent the bill from passing smoothly.
Ao Guanhai smiled: "Prompting the Congress to pass the "Civil Commercial Satellite Use Modification Act" is just to show my attitude. Next year is the year of the general election, and the elder Baker, as a presidential candidate, will always have some crossroads with me. I'll ask Pulitzer to arrange a private meeting for us as soon as possible. β
Tate rolled his eyes and immediately understood what he meant. As the incumbent president, Ao Guanhai has his own political forces, although it is impossible to give support to Old Baker openly due to partisan disputes, it is still easy to give some help in private. As long as the elder Baker wants to run for president, he will definitely not be able to refuse this temptation~ temptation. Compared to the support of the current president, the satellite technology of AS~M is nothing. A smile finally appeared on his face, though it was still a little stiff. Nodding, he smiled and said, "The angel and the military have cooperated for many years, and the military has mastered some of the angels' hands and tails, so we will take a two-pronged approach to force Emerson to bow his head and admit his guilt!" β
In New York, Emerson's lair, when only a little light was left at the entrance of the entire villa, Queana's room suddenly sounded her violent cough.
A few minutes later, when the violent coughing died down, the lights in the room were turned on. In the light, Queanna sat on the bed blankly~ and stared at the clumps of reddish-brown blood on the ground. With a "z" sound, directly opposite the position of her bed, a display screen was lit up, and Emerson's face appeared on the screen. "Quana, what's wrong with you?" Emerson asked, his expression dark.
"I-" Queana opened her mouth to say, "coughing up blood" rolled in her throat, swallowed raw by her, and replaced it with "probably a cold".
"Got a cold?" There was an inconspicuous flash of red in Emerson's pale red eyes, and it was clear that he didn't believe Queanna's claim. However, the expression on Queanna's face was noticeably more dull than before, and he stared into her eyes for a moment and said, "Drink more water, then." Then they cut off the contact.
Three rooms away from Queanna, Arise is sitting cross-legged on the floor, performing divination with tarot cards. After shuffling the cards in a dizzying way, she drew nine more cards from them by the same degree. Then, using the light of her phone to recognize the cards in turn, she closed her eyes and muttered to herself. Later, when she finished the words she had muttered a little louder and more slowly, a faint blue light suddenly flashed in her eyes in the darkness. β****οΌβ She scolded softly, her eyebrows twisted together, and asked herself, "What should I do?" β
At the same time, in one of the most mysterious buildings in the United States, Kasens was standing respectfully in front of a general, listening to what the other party said. This admiral is naturally Reus, the current director of the world's largest terrorist organization, cIa, who is nicknamed by Chinese netizens.
ββ¦β¦ The greatest value of the Emerson consortium is actually Emerson himself, but unfortunately, this secret has not attracted the attention of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Why was Emerson so unscrupulous? Of course, this has something to do with his extreme personality, but it also has something to do with this secret, because he is sure that even if he does something extreme, we will at most control him, but we will never harm his life. Now, major countries around the world are engaged in the research of 'class warriors', and what they don't know is that in this research, the people of the bird country started decades ago, and they also developed monsters like the 'Loch Ness Monster'......"
