Chapter 1223: Camouflage Life The situation is out of control
Driving a black Lincoln, Statham drove all the way to the busiest part of Los Angeles.
As the economic center of the United States today, even the most luxurious car is just an inconspicuous existence. Like a drop of water mixed into a river, his whereabouts became inconspicuous almost immediately. Unless there is a definite target and the investigation is carried out one by one, it is impossible to find the existence of Statham.
Statham has always been cautious, so he doesn't think his true identity will be known to anyone. Even if there are police officers who set up checkpoints here to investigate, his identity as an engineer on the surface is enough for him to get through the barrier in confusion.
However, Statham was not reassured. So, after turning a corner and driving the car into an underground parking lot. He threw away the car keys and transferred to a Chevrolet pickup that had been prepared for a long time.
There are replacement clothes on the pickup, a mobile phone and new documents. After changing everything, Statham wrapped up his original outfit and threw it in the garbage. He didn't want to leave any evidence, so he just added a fire and burned it to ashes. And in this case, all the ways that can be connected with him have been unilaterally cut off by him.
This was not planned. Because according to the plan, he still needs to use his previous mobile phone to explain the evacuation and evacuation of his subordinates who have completed the task. But now, the plans have changed. He had abandoned his previous group of subordinates, treating them as victims of this mission.
It's not impossible. As the centerpiece of this field team, Statham was well aware that no one in the group would be necessary except himself. They can all be replaced, and inside Hydra, there are too many people who want to replace them. So, if nothing goes wrong, it's fine. Once something goes wrong, it really doesn't matter if he gets rid of them.
But abandon abandonment, the plan still has to go on. It was only a one-sided impromptu idea, so he was sure that his subordinates didn't know that they had decided to abandon them now. At this time, they should still be trying to complete their tasks. I just don't know how far their mission has progressed.
He still couldn't let go of everything about the mission, so in his dilapidated Chevrolet pickup, Statham drove all the way out of town to a 24-hour highway restaurant.
This is a long-planned retreat, with his current identity, a small farmer who travels between the farm and the city. He has created a way back for himself that will not have any problems.
First, he bought a small farm on the outskirts of a remote city. Raise livestock and crops like a real farmer. Then sell them to those upstream sellers. It took about a year to come and go, and he made sure that his identity would be known to everyone on the road. Just like now, when he opened the door of the restaurant in the early hours of the morning, the waiter who was still sleepy immediately showed a warm smile and said to him.
"Hey, Tyson. What an accident, you actually rushed back at this time. I thought you'd spend more time in town? ”
"Recently, there has been a big gap at the dealership, so things are selling a lot better than usual."
Smiling at the waitress who poured him coffee, Statham disguised nothing but a cheeky smile on his face.
This smile is all too familiar to the waitress who has been working in this restaurant for five or six years. Even if you haven't seen it a thousand times, you've seen it eight hundred times. It can't be said to be a masculine smile, but it definitely makes people feel familiar like an old friend. After knowing each other for so long, she had already regarded Statham as her old friend, and she had memorized every habit of him. So immediately, she asked Statham.
"Is it still the old rule? Hot cocoa, sandwiches, and a pork chop? ”
"Add me another piece of mashed potatoes, Nicole. You know, I haven't eaten anything since last night. Now I'm so hungry that I can barely eat a cow! And I've endured it until now, just to have a meal of the food you made. Only they are worth the pain and anticipation that I have so much to wait for. I'm sure you won't let me down. ”
With a slight exaggeration, Statham's words made the barely pretty hostess simply ecstatic. From her point of view, Statham is clearly a charming enough man.
Although some bald heads will lose some points, the angular face and lean and strong body have added a lot of points to him. A character with a bit of a rustic flavor may not be popular with big city girls, but for a woman of her age, it is more reliable. Not to mention, he's a real farmer.
Farmers in the United States have never been poor. Although they are engaged in the most primitive crop economy, in terms of income, they are still above most white-collar workers or even gold-collar workers. I can't say that I am really rich with billionaires, but I don't have a problem at all to say that they are millionaires, multimillionaires or something. And unlike the rich, who are vulnerable to financial shocks, the wealth of farmers is quite stable. Unless humans can skip eating, they can always make sure they have a bite to eat.
In this case, Statham was naturally full of attraction to this waitress named Anne. For her, who has reached middle age, a man who can bring her a stable life is undoubtedly the most attractive target. So, after she got acquainted with Statham, she kept thinking about what she could do with him.
It's just that Statham has always been very wooden in this regard. No matter what she tried to suggest, Statham never gave her a positive answer. This made him want to give up for a while, but he couldn't bear it. So until now, she has maintained the current friend-like relationship with Statham.
She's trying to make Statham feel good about herself. And Statham did feel that this woman had a good opinion of him. Just, does this make sense to him? Not at all, if there is one, it is that her existence is enough to provide a better cover for her identity. Therefore, he is also happy to maintain this almost ambiguous relationship with her. Of course, this is just exploitation.
With such a thought firmly established in his heart again, Statham let his gaze take away from the woman's back without the slightest wavering. He turned his gaze to the TV at the bar, which was playing a woman's favorite late-night soap opera. He didn't have any surprises about this, just greeted Nicole, who was busy inside.
"Hey, Nicole. Can I change the channel? Looking at these things, I'm afraid I won't be able to eat much. ”
"Of course! I don't like this kind of show. Raising her head, she smiled at Statham with some embarrassment, and Nicole replied to him. I'm just passing the time. No way, it's just you one guest one night. If I don't read something, I'm afraid I'll really fall asleep. ”
"Of course!" shook his hand, and accepted her somewhat disguised statement. Statham directly tuned the channel to a dedicated news channel.
When he first thought of using the news media, Statham had already thought of such an alternative method of surveillance. He called so many reporters not just to cover up for his stupid men, but more to use the media outlet's enthusiasm for big news to watch every step of his plan in real time.
He believed in the professionalism of these journalists, and they would show the utmost enthusiasm in the face of hundreds of casualties. It is estimated that they will not do second-hand cutting work, and they will come up with the freshest things in the first time. This is the most important news event in this time period, and they shouldn't miss it.
The facts are not different from what Statham thought. In the face of such a serious casualty incident, BS, ABC, FOX, and other big TV stations have sent key personnel, not to mention those small local TV stations. If you look for a channel at random, you can see the bustling media reporters who block the entire hospital entrance. It can be said that if it weren't for the interception of smart machines and police, these reporters would probably have rushed to the hospital by now.
That's good, just like planned. With a subtle smile, Statham switched to an obscure local television station.
This was where his subordinates should be, and from that point of view, he could see how much progress the fools had accomplished. However, unexpectedly, when he switched to this channel, he didn't see what he wanted to see.
The TV station is still broadcasting boring and boring current affairs news, and it seems that it is not at all aware that the big news is just around the corner.
What are those idiots doing? With such a curse, Statham immediately chuckled in his heart. He didn't believe that those idiots couldn't even do this little thing, after all, they were the elite of Hydra, and if they couldn't even do this, then they wouldn't be qualified to live until now. In this case, then there is only one possibility, and that is that the plan has failed!
The plan failed! How can it be! With this thought in his mind, he subconsciously wanted to get out of here. However, reason reined in his actions.
He knew that his departure would only reveal his identity. In this case, maintaining the status quo is the best option. And his plan may not have failed completely. And that line in Argada!
Completely self-comforting, he stared at the TV, keeping a close eye on every development in the news. However, it was already doomed that he was going to be disappointed!
