Chapter 74: The Eastern Capital
When Wade's plane slowly landed on the runway of Dongdu Airport, it was already an hour later, and this time the time was much shorter than Wade imagined, at least about half the expected two hours.
The Eastern Capital, Asia's largest and most prosperous modern metropolis.
Led by Mott, Wade dragged his suitcase out of the plane, and then came to the waiting area outside the airport, where a black sedan was already waiting, Mott took Wade and got into the car without saying a word, and then a long wait.
Wade tilted his head sideways, his eyes jumping through the translucent car windows in the high-rise buildings outside, he hadn't said a word since he got off the plane, except for sending a "I'm here" message to Edazaki Yukina on his mobile phone, all he did was watch quietly.
His mother is a Chinese, but also a native of Dongdu, and this place in Dongdu is also the place that carries his happiest time in Wade's memory.
Gradually, the high-rise buildings outside the window began to become sparse, replaced by patches of ordinary houses, seeing the scenery on this route, Wade couldn't help but chuckle in his heart: the scenery of this road is very familiar to him, because his mother's former residence is on this section of the route!
It seemed to confirm Wade's guess, and Mott, who had been silent before, suddenly said: "It said that I will send you home first after coming to the Eastern Capital, and then come to pick you up at eleven o'clock in the evening, so ...... Enjoy. ”
The car gradually slowed down, and after turning an intersection, a towering tree about ten meters high appeared in Wade's field of vision, the tree was surrounded by a red wall, and behind the tree, a strange three-story villa was faintly visible.
The first and second floors of the villa are ancient houses with a strong Chinese style, while the third floor is a modern floor with Western style.
It's such a strange match, but because of the color matching, there is a different kind of beauty.
The third floor was designed and built by John after John and Wade's mother got married, and the first and second floors are naturally Wade's mother's former residence.
What Wade remembers most is the time when they were a child, when their family of three lived together under that tree, and at that time, John had not yet run around because of entrepreneurship, and Wade's relationship with him was not as bad as it is now.
"That's what he asked." Wade said that when he opened the car door, he immediately thought of John, and after saying goodbye to Mott and the others, Wade dragged his suitcase to the wall that had carried the passage of decades.
"I'm back, Mother." Wade opened the suitcase and pulled out a rusty key from a mezzanine, inserted it into the same rusty lock, and with a slight turn, the lock opened.
"Whew......" Wade exhaled a cloudy breath, as if he was about to face some great enemy, he pulled out the key, put his hand on the wooden door, and slowly pushed it open.
In the next half an hour, Wade used his ability to clean the entire house from the inside out, although no one has lived in it for more than ten years, but every year, John will come here at a certain time, nostalgic for the past.
"It's not too bad here......" Wade, who was accustomed to hiding the feelings in his heart, sat down on the thickest branch of the banyan tree that stretched outward, and felt the warm sun shining on his face after cleaning.
The quilts John had changed every year when he came here, so Wade now just had to take them out to dry, leaning against the branches, and humming the poem his mother had taught him again.
"I love you, it's nothing to do with you."
"Even the endless thoughts of the night."
"It's just me."
"It won't be brought to the dawn."
"Maybe it can only exist in the dark."
"I love you, it's nothing to do with you."
In this way, the time of the day passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was already the appointed time, and then, the dark car appeared at the intersection like a ghost in the night, and Wade immediately closed the wooden door of the compound and got into the car after receiving the news.
Now, he is finally going to the WBS branch in the Eastern Capital.
Twenty minutes later, on the outskirts of the Eastern Capital, one hundred meters underground, WBS Huaxia Branch.
With a vibration of the elevator under his feet, the closed metal door in front of him automatically opened, and then Wade was shocked by the scene in front of him.
Outside the elevator, there is an extremely wide metal world, a metal passage extends from the elevator door, in the left and right mid-air, you can see a staggered passage everywhere, countless staff wearing blue uniforms pass through it in twos and threes, and the sound of communication echoes throughout the hall, endlessly.
Mars, from time to time falling from a stand suspended in mid-air, a bright light brightens the wide hall, walking down the hollow corridor, looking down, you can faintly see a series of neatly arranged war machines lying in it.
It's a whole new world made entirely of steel and concrete, a near-futuristic style Wade has only seen in science fiction movies before.
"This ...... It's unimaginable. Wade said with some excitement that although he had made enough preparations before coming, when he saw it with his own eyes, he realized that his imagination was really too ordinary.
"The Huaxia branch is the largest branch of the entire WBS, and it is located about 100 meters of the stable rock formation on the outskirts of the eastern capital, covering an area of about ...... Eight hundred hectares, right? ”
Mott said these data without changing his face, but Wade on the side began to reposition this WBS in his heart; To be honest, the area of 800 hectares is not too big as a type of military base, but the point is that this is a place 100 meters underground, and it is still near the sea!
This kind of engineering quantity can be imagined, this is only the largest branch, Zhou said, WBS has a total of three branches, since there are branches, there must be headquarters.
The size of the headquarters will only be larger than the ministry.
Wade began to feel the lack of imagination.
"Okay...... Okay, those countries are also willing to spend money to do such a big thing for this organization, so where are they taking me now? ”
As he spoke, the two of them had come to the alloy door on the opposite side of the elevator with a large "1" graffiti, Mott took out an electronic card from his pocket, flashed past the scanning area, and then the prompt light turned green, and the door also retreated to both sides.
Then, a war hall about the size of the United Nations Security Council Chamber appeared in front of Wade's eyes, filled with hurried staff and flickering screens, and in the center of the hall, a stereoscopic projection was suspended.
That projection is exactly the same as the badge that Lone Bee left Wade before, which means that this is the logo of WBS.
"How does it feel, this thief ship is not badly configured, right?" Zhou's voice suddenly came from behind him, and Wade looked back, only to see that this mysterious man was standing at the door with his hands behind his back and looking at him, still without any expression on his face.
"There's a guy over there playing a game, and I found out!" Wade suddenly pointed to a staff member sitting in front of the screen on Zhou's left, Zhou Xun looked for it, and sure enough, he saw that the staff member was hurriedly cutting out the picture and started working.
"Let's go." Zhou smiled faintly, shook his head and let Wade go, as for Mott, he had already disappeared the next moment Zhou appeared.
