Chapter 80: The Fall
Li Zhen hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, and waved his hand to Beichuan Qingming behind him: "Let's go." β
There was a nondescript van parked downstairs in the small hotel. There were three people who came to pick them up, and there were three people in the car in addition to the driver. They all look quite capable and expressionless. After the two of them got into the car, they spoke to him at first, and the middle-aged man immediately said, "Let's go." β
So the car started.
Li Zhen took the time to carefully observe the six people he could seeβhis waist bulged slightly, and he saw that the shape was indeed a Geng-6 pistol. But other than that, there are no distinctive features - the stab-proof vest is tightly covered from the neck down. It was a middle-aged man with a rosacea nose who spoke. He sat opposite Li Zhen and grinned: "Major, I'm Xu Zhiheng." Sorry for being late. β
Li Zhen nodded slightly: "I'm sorry for you." Who are you...... Just got the news? β
"At first there was a report that we had seen you two at the docks, and we got a briefing. Then I kept looking, and I found out where you were two minutes ago - you didn't look at it then. Xu Zhiheng said, "After the wanted warrant was issued, the dean sent us to the Philippines and Indonesia in two groups to wait to pick you up. β
"How do you know I'm in this area?"
"That plane β someone on the plane filmed you. So we think you should be in the area around here, and in fact there are our people in Taiwan and along the coast. I was lucky enough to get a head start. β
Li Zhen smiled. And then he said, "What's next?" β
"You can't go back for a while. We'll get you to a safe place before we find a way to get in touch with the dean. But this thing is more difficult. Xu Zhiheng spread his hands. The dean is not in a good position now. So we can only try to save ourselves. β
Li Zhen asked in a deep voice, "How can I save myself?" β
"Prepare the relevant evidence and materials. You're ...... this time It was the Japanese military that completely annoyed them, and it is said that a person was also missing from the inspection hall - they suspect that you did it. At the cabinet meeting, the chief and the president were impeached, saying that the northern base was plotting treason with the Heart Society...... At the moment, they are not in a good situation, so the southern base has taken over the matter of the species. The most important thing is that everyone wants to know what happened to the egg in the Chiyan volcano? β
Li Zhen thought for a moment and said in a low voice: "This point is the core issue." β
"That's right. In fact, as long as the eggs are in your hands β we have room to mediate. Xu Zhiheng said in a deep voice.
Li Zhen didn't speak, but was slightly silent for a while, and looked at the other people who didn't say a word: "My matter in the Philippines, except for you and your informants at the moment. Who else knows? β
"It's just us." Xu Zhiheng said.
"Hmm." Li Zhen nodded.
He then changed the subject: "What about Mexico." β
Xu Zhiheng was slightly stunned. But he could only continue: "The war situation is not optimistic. There is a species that seems to have woken up. It's codenamed 'Lucifer' - it almost ruined Mexico City the night you were in Japan, and nearly a million people in the city were infectedβ"
"Alienation?"
ββ¦β¦ Yes, alienation. A tactical nuclear bomb was used by nearby garrisons. However, little has been achieved. Later, more than a million alienated people took over the city. and in all directions. It now controls Mexico City to Manzanillo on the Pacific coast. The U.S. Army and Navy then sealed the border, but they couldn't stop it at the time, and I don't know what the situation is now. Chinese Navy ...... The Pacific Fleet rushed the next day to help evacuate the diaspora. That's when the species attacked again. We lost two aircraft carriers. β
"And now?"
"Now the offensive has stopped for the time being. It's not clear why. It's also possible that it's accumulating energy. But it can be considered ...... The whole of Mexico fell. β
Li Zhen nodded: "Okay." Thank you. Do you have cash with you? β
Xu Zhiheng was stunned: "What did you say?" β
"Cash. Preferably gold dollars, is there? Li Zhen smiled, "I'm a poor person when I was a child. I don't have any money on my body, and I don't feel at ease. β
Several of the others had strange looks on their faces. However, Li Zhen looked at Xu Zhiheng's eyes with a smile. He had no choice but to smile a little awkwardly: "Uh, hehe, bring it." How much do you want? β
"Of course, the more the merrier." Li Zhenyi grinned, "Just assume that you have advanced the operation funds." β
Xu Zhiheng frowned slightly, but still reached out and took out a few gold yuan in his pocket, and handed them to Li Zhen: "This is fifty yuan, is it enough?" β
Li Zhen nodded, and then looked at a few other people: "A little moreβit would be better." β
Kitagawa pursed his lips tightly and didn't say a word.
Xu Zhiheng snorted: "What are you doing in a daze?" Who still brings the money? β
Several other people also took out money with different expressions - there were gold dollars and Filipino goods, all of which were handed over to Xu Zhiheng. Xu Zhiheng gave Li Zhen all the way: "That's all." β
"Hmm...... More than three hundred. Yet. Li Zhen carefully put the money in his pocket and smiled, "It's hard work." In fact, I was almost deceived by you. β
Xu Zhiheng's expression froze on his face, and then he frowned: "Major, what did you say?" Still suspicious of us? β
"I asked you if anyone else knew I was here, and you said there was no one. In fact, there is a real executive officer - from the local dispatching agency. I saw him before I saw you. Why didn't the command send you a briefing? β
Xu Zhiheng grinned: "Not really." Or maybe he hasn't had time to report it yet. β
"Oh." Li Zhen nodded, "Then why do you want to say 'Chinese Navy' instead of 'Imperial Navy'?" The difference between this word is far from the difference - smooth mouth? Of course, I think the strangest thing is why you mentioned the fall of Mexico...... Although his face looks quite uneasy, the corners of his mouth are slightly upturned? β
Xu Zhiheng subconsciously raised his hand and planned to touch his mouth, but immediately put it down.
"You can't control this micro-expression." Li Zhen said lightly, "Actually, you are very happy. In additionβ" he pointed to a person beside Xu Zhiheng, "there can't be a tattoo on the executive." What's the deal with the thing that's sticking out under his collar? Maybe next time you should wear a turtleneck. So let me guess β you are the ones at the Gate of Truth? β
Xu Zhiheng slowly sank his face. sneered: "You are indeed quite smart. Yes, we are the door of truth. But for now, it's up to youβor maybe you're not afraid of conventional weapons like guns, but the guy next to youβ"
He pointed at Kitagawa Qingming: "She's afraid." As far as I know, she's not the king of ice and wind yet. Right now, there are thirteen guns pointed at you under my seat. Inside the muzzle are armor-piercing shells - taking into account your physical fitness, we are armed with individual depleted uranium armor-piercing shells. You can't avoid such a distance. β
Li Zhen nodded: "It's true that you can't dodge." So I'm not going to hide. But the first two sentences...... Where did you come from? β
"No comment." Xu Zhiheng said stiffly.
"Looks ...... There's a ghost in the base. Li Zhen rubbed the corners of his forehead, "Your hands are really far enough." When Shennongjia was in Shennongjia, that inner ghost was making trouble, right? β
"You can guess, but I won't say." Xu Zhiheng snorted.
"You're not broad-minded enough - it's just that I've debunked it." Li Zhen smiled and said, "Actually, we can have a good chat." Anyway. Looks like we're going to have to walk for a while. Yu Qingqing is also in your hands - you didn't think of using her to exchange that egg with me? β
Xu Zhiheng was obviously not the kind of mindless reckless man, but asked with a sneer: "Will you change?" β
"How do you know if you don't try?"
The other party thought for a while and asked again: "So do you change it?" β
"Of course not! Can I expect you to keep your promises? You must know that you are 'immoral and untrustworthy' Americans-hahaha. Li Zhen laughed.
Tricked. Xu Zhiheng looked unhappy. He snorted, "There will be times when you will suffer." β
Li Zhen immediately restrained his smile.
There was silence in the carriage, and the van drove out of the city. Large fields and forests appear on both sides. There were also a few peasants working in the fields. It's already five o'clock in the afternoon. If it is in Binh Duong. It was already getting dark. In the Philippines, however, the sun still refuses to set.
There were some bumps in the road. Li Zhen glanced at Kitagawa Qingmingβshe was as unfazed as usual, and winked at herself. Closed slightly.
Li Zhen coughed, and then said, "Ueno Guanliu went back?" Or is the person not found? β
Xu Zhiheng didn't speak.
Li Zhen carefully observed his expression, then turned his head and asked Kitagawa Qingming, "Do you want to sleep for a while?" β
Xu Zhiheng only raised his eyes and glanced at Beichuan, but still didn't speak.
So Li Zhen breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
They don't know what to do. They really don't know what to doβ
The Lord of Ice, Snow and Wind will appear after this one falls asleep, and Ueno Kanyanagi should be clear. However, Li Zhen guessed that this kind of thing could not be even known to any random thug at the Gate of Truth - the favorite thing for those in the upper echelons to do was to keep some important information secret for various reasons.
On the one hand, it does guarantee their mystery and authority, and on the other hand, it ......
Just like right now. Xu Zhiheng did not react particularly violently to what he just said.
In fact, it was Kitagawa's blink of an eye that reminded him that she was hinting at something. It seems that she is also sure that these people will not know. Or is it that Ueno Kanyanagi has only recently learned her secret, and has he not had time to report it?
Good luck.
Kitagawa knew what he was hinting at. So he whispered, "Well, I'll sleep for a while, I'm tired." β
Xu Zhiheng pursed his lips.
Kitagawa rested his head on Li Zhen's shoulder and closed his eyes.
The move seemed unthreatening to them, so no one spoke up. But Li Zhen could feel that the hand that Beichuan was holding was oozing sweat - in any case, this personality seemed to be facing this situation for the first time, and he seemed a little nervous. So he patted the back of the other's hand, and leaned slightly to the side to make her lean more comfortably.
Time passed minute by minute, but normal people obviously couldn't sleep peacefully in this situation. Beichuan's hand was still clenched tightly, moving from time to time to remind Li Zhen that he was still awake. He had to wait patientlyβ
Because of the single soldier depleted uranium armor-piercing bullet......
It's really hard to entangle.
Armor piercing is better said, but that kind of radioactive contamination is difficult to do. He hadn't tried to heal himself quickly under such extreme conditions, and he wasn't sure that he would be able to destroy everything under the other party's seat in the first place. He is not a fool, and he will definitely not believe that there are only "thirteen muzzles under the seat" just because the other party said "there are thirteen muzzles under the seat". According to the style of those madmen at the Gate of Truth, even if he was told that there was a small nuclear bomb in the car, Li Zhen would seriously consider it.
After another ten minutes, the car drove onto a country road. In the distance, a row of low bungalows can be seen, hidden in a series of banana groves.
And Kitagawa Qingming's hand relaxed slightly. Li Zhen tried to tighten, but the other party did not react.
So a smile crossed his lips, and after waiting patiently for a while, he asked in a low voice, "How do you know that she is not the King of Ice and Wind now?" β
Xu Zhiheng turned his head and looked far ahead of the car, and seemed to be slightly relieved. He didn't plan to deal with Li Zhen - he was still angry about the money he had cheated his people out of before. But he never reached out again and said, "Give me back!" β
But seeing that the camp was in front of him, and the two of them were still sitting honestly, he relaxed his vigilance a little and snorted: "The Ice King is not like this. β
"Then you don't wonder how she became the Ice King?"
Xu Zhiheng was stunned for a moment, and then said sarcastically: "In short, it won't be a sleep and become an ice king." β
Li Zhen laughed. He felt Kitagawa's hand tighten slightly.
Then he said, "You're a little more confident." Or is it true that you just slept and transformed, and then killed all of you 'Gate of Truth' guys? β
Xu Zhiheng snorted: "You can be quieter." There will be a great gift for youβit will make you realize that in the face of the Lord's strength, you so-called kings are just reptiles. β
He was right. You do have a little bit of confidence. β
A female voice rang out. Kitagawa Qingming raised his head from Li Zhen's shoulder and sighed slightly: "These are the people from the Gate of Truth? β
Li Zhen shrugged: "Hmm." They also said that there was a mass killer under the seat across from us - maybe there was a nuclear bomb in the car, what do you think? β
Xu Zhiheng looked at the two people suspiciously, and stretched out his hand under the seat: "What are you doing?" β
But Kitagawa Qingming ignored him, but smiled at Li Zhen: "You bet right." Indeed, it was only when I came to Japan the other day that I told Kanyanagi Ueno my secret. In addition, I have always told him that if I want to use the true power of the Ice King, I will have to go through a long and painful process - this means that I will lose sleep. But how did she do it? Fell asleep so soon? β
"She's almost just a normal person - you all share the same body anyway, and after flying at supersonic speed for so long, will you not get tired?" Li Zhen snapped his fingers happily, "Get rid of them." I'm going to see what the 'power of the Lord' is just saying. (To be continued.) )
