Chapter 153: Elizabeth Plans Again Russell has other plans
Russell was thinking in his heart about how to keep his job and not be punished by China. He secretly recorded Elizabeth giving orders to him, and discussed English conversations with them in the car about contacting the other two border fighters on standby. He looked out the car window at the vast wasteland and the ruins of the ancient castle on the hill that he occasionally saw, wondering whether this mysterious, exotic land far from home would bring him luck or disaster. In what way will this continue or end?
Every time I pass through a small town, the hired local drivers don't dare to stay long. He always parked his car in a sparsely populated area, hurriedly got out of the car to buy something to eat and drink, and brought it to Elizabeth and Russell to eat. When they need convenience, they always solve it in the field next to the road. Be cautious along the way, for fear of attracting the attention of others.
Whenever she went to a small town, Elizabeth always took advantage of the signal to seize the time to contact the outside world. She called her brother Michael in Beijing and told him that she had sneaked out from under the noses of the police and was discussing with Russell how to smuggle out of the country, and her words were full of pride. She told her brother Michael about the remaining two overseas contact points, asking him to keep an eye on the situation.
Michael saw Russell's phone number and thought it was him, but he was surprised by the voice of his sister Elizabeth on the other end of the earpiece. He never expected Elizabeth to sneak out of the no-man's land and avoid the police. Although Michael also felt that his sister's behavior repeatedly violated the law and was too risky, he could not betray his sister, so he chose to remain silent and cooperate.
Russell was very curious when he heard the conversation between their brother and sister repeatedly mention the "Dharma Eye Dzi".
Michael told his sister on the other end of the phone that he had inquired that the "Dharma Eye Dzi" was currently in the hands of an antique dealer in country F. George also sent someone to contact the antique dealer and offered a sky-high price, and the antique dealer was preparing to sit on the ground and raise the price.
Elizabeth immediately came to her senses when she heard this, and instructed Michael to mobilize funds and wait for her to smuggle out of the country to talk to the antique dealer together. Elizabeth even told Michael that after returning to Country F and getting the "Dharma Eye Dzi", if everything is as calm as ever, she will sneak into China again with this key.
Michael was puzzled, he was too young to remember the bead, he really didn't understand what this ornament had to do with the source of energy? Elizabeth said that she had only figured it out after coming to the Tibetan Plateau, and that this was a key to the source of energy, but there were definitely other requirements. She instructed Michael to use his life-saving grace to maintain a good relationship with him, and that only he knew the ultimate secret, etc.
Elizabeth gave these instructions intermittently, and the off-road vehicle entered the deserted and uninhabited no-man's land.
They didn't know that at this moment, the police had gradually narrowed down the scope of the investigation and put the monitoring target on this off-road vehicle. Officer Zheng and the others found that this sneaky off-road vehicle was not at all like ordinary tourists who got out of the car to eat, take pictures, and hang out, nor did it look like locals who went to visit relatives or handle official business, and would get off the bus for a while at the rest stop. This car is in a hurry, and even if it rests, it hides in a place with few people. And in addition to refueling, it is to buy food and drink, and the big bag of food packed by the driver is obviously more than the amount of food for the driver alone, but he never sees the people in the car come out.
The most important thing is that there is no record of the car's occupants staying overnight. It means that they are either camping in the wilderness, or they are staying at a farmhouse in a small village and paying some money. Officer Zheng decided that it was this car.
When the off-road vehicle drove straight towards Lilan County along the road leading to the no-man's land, Officer Zheng couldn't help but admire Li Guanghan's thoughtfulness, and it seemed that Elizabeth really wanted to find another way, bypassing the nearest exit point, Naining County, and rushing to the Xihai Pharmaceutical Factory where she could take a break.
Officer Zheng opened the map, and the two closest exit locations to Xihai Pharmaceutical Factory were one in Beiquan County and the other in Nanquan County, and he estimated that Elizabeth would definitely choose one of them as the smuggling exit location after taking a short rest. Rather than waiting for them to go to the Xihai Pharmaceutical Factory to confirm, it is better to arrest them immediately to prevent long nights and dreams.
Officer Zheng immediately asked his superiors to order the suspicious off-road vehicle to be blocked on the road in the no-man's land first.
Elizabeth's SUV was driving less nervously in no man's land. Wild yaks and wild asses occasionally appear in the wasteland, some of the short-tempered wild yaks will stare at the car and crash into the car, some wild donkeys are still chasing after it, and there are cautious Tibetan antelopes hiding farther away. These vivid lives made Elizabeth, who was running for her life, feel a touch of nature's beautiful breath.
Seeing that he was about to get out of the no-man's land, there was still a two-hour drive ahead to return to Lilan County. Elizabeth and Russell were secretly relieved. Russell thought of sneaking Elizabeth back to the small cottage behind the factory and temporarily hiding her in a secret room under the pool on the large terrace. After the wind has passed, let her hide in the lower layer of the large rectangular incubator that transports fresh "Dream Crystal Orchid", the living "Dream Crystal Orchid" can constantly spit out oxygen, and Elizabeth will not suffocate from lack of oxygen when hiding in it.
Russell felt that his plan was perfect, and when he reported it to Elizabeth, she asked him rhetorically, since the aerobic incubator is very safe, why not just fly it out of the country, wouldn't it be faster?
Russell said seriously: "Because the outbound goods at the airport are now subject to strong X-ray scans even if they are exempted from inspection, I am worried that your body will be harmed by X-ray rays hidden in the incubator, so it is better to leave the country through the land port." The port of Beiquan County is very small, the inspection equipment is backward, and it is basically manual sampling, so it is relatively safe. ”
His well-founded rhetoric really moved Elizabeth on the run. It seems that this doctor of biology, Russell, is loyal, reliable, and thoughtful, and can be taken under his command in the future. In time, when he has to set foot on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau again, he will need to contribute again.
Elizabeth smiled and accepted Russell's suggestion.
In fact, Russell's true thoughts are very well hidden, and only he knows best. Although there is a risk of radiation from the airport's super X-ray machine in air transportation, Xihai Pharmaceutical Factory is a reputable enterprise, and the local government has a supportive attitude, so it is almost impossible to pass the X-ray machine one by one, and one or two incubators will be sampled and released. Therefore, air freight is the safest.
