Chapter 22: The Clouds Are Rising
Now that he has given the order, let the adjutant lead people to continue to pull the net and blockade in Feizhuan Mountain, and when this result comes out, he will continue to find the whereabouts of the tiger soul. He was a little anxious, after all, the action that made a lot of trouble last time was not small, and there was a great possibility of leaking the news, and there were still several forces surging in the country, if they really got their hands on the Tiger Soul core, how could they be worthy of the dead soldiers?
But obviously what he doesn't want to see the most, but he just comes to something, life is such a fuck!
Outside, a black sedan with an American flag drove into the industrial park, escorted by several other police cars. There are only a handful of cars that can fly the flag of another country in the magic capital, and the U.S. ambassador, Thomas Paine, is one of them.
Paine is a gray-haired old man in his 50s, who served as a battlefield correspondent in the army when he was young, and after returning home from injury, he turned into the diplomatic service and served as the ambassador of the United States in various dangerous areas.
After Paine got out of the car, a somewhat bald middle-aged yellow man got out of the car, and even if he was wearing civilian clothes, the strong aura on his body made people's hearts sink! Chen Tianfang looked at the figure behind Paine, and his pupils shrank slightly.
"Commander Chen is really good Yaxing, and now he is still in the mood to drink tea here! It's been an eventful time lately, I heard that the garrison troops on the periphery of the Demon Capital have been evacuated recently, and they went into the mountains to round up wild beasts, and it's rare that Commander Chen has such a good Yaxing with 30,000 people to hunt! Pan Enpi said to Chen Tianfang in fluent Chinese, smiling without smiling.
"Ambassador Paine, as an envoy of another country, it is not your diplomatic principle to spy on other countries' intelligence at will!" Chen Tianfang shot back expressionlessly. "We are confident and capable of protecting the safety of the magic city." He glanced at Paine next to him and added, "Of course, the safety of foreign envoys. I believe that it is far safer here than in the United States, after all, the United States does not ban guns! ”
Paine smiled and said, "I hope so, I heard that the Liaobei Military Region has marched three hundred miles into the Great and Small Xing'an Mountains to clear out the mutant beasts?"
"The land of the ancestors, not an inch of land!" Chen Tianfang's face was serious. "It's just a field training in Liaobei, it's not a big deal."
"What about Flying Mountain? What do you want to do with such a large-scale troop transfer? Paine stared at Chen Tianfang's eyes and said fiercely.
"The Magic City Defense Circle is an important part of the Asian Theater of Operations, second only to the Tokyo Theater and the ** Theater, and it is also the largest logistics base in the entire Asian Theater, so we hope to do our part to strengthen the security management around the Magic City. After all, the magic capital is too important! This is no longer a matter for China alone. It is about the survival of the entire Asian theater of operations! "The somewhat bald Director Jack expressed his position.
"Don't give me this set, don't meddle outside if you can't manage your own domestic affairs, otherwise don't blame me for being unkind!" The old man was already a little murderous.
After the negotiations failed, both sides fell silent. But it was Paine, the diplomat, who broke the silence.
"We already understand your country's position, but we will strengthen our defenses in the embassy district in the near future, and I hope you don't mind." Paine stood up, shook the collar of his suit, and turned away with a slight bow.
"I'm sorry that something like this happened! But this is my responsibility, and if there is an emergency in the city, we will take appropriate action, hoping that both of us will maintain a friendly and restrained attitude and avoid unnecessary conflicts. Director Jack stood up and took his leave.
At this time, Fu Xiaochen was holding a large box in his left hand and a folder in his right hand, and he happened to come in from the door. Paine didn't know Fu Xiaochen, thinking that he was just an ordinary staff member of the building, passing directly past him. And Jack Chen, who obviously knew him, nodded, but did not speak.
The two men got back in the car of the U.S. Embassy and the car of the Countermeasures Command Bureau, ignored the soldiers around them who were under martial law, and walked away.
Chen Tian sat down deflated and drank all the ice water in the cup. The thought of the lost Tiger Soul Core made me feel extremely irritable.
Fu Xiaochen walked over with a smile. Chen Tianfang looked at his old friend's gloating face, and couldn't help but glare at him fiercely.
"Hey, it's not worth it to get angry. Come and drink saliva. As he spoke, he handed over the herbal tea that the waiter had just handed over.
"What do you old thing do? The Tiger Soul Core was actually lost! You're still here gloating! Chen Tianfang took the herbal tea and put it on the table.
"Who said the Tiger Soul Core was lost?" Fu Xiaochen said meaningfully.
"The reports of the Spiritual Research Institute have come out, saying that the things we found are just the crystallization of some spiritual power, and the main consciousness of the tiger soul is not in it at all." Cheng Tianfang didn't notice Fu Xiaochen's strange tone at all, and he was recalling the scene of the arrest at that time.
Fu Xiaochen smiled and handed over the folder in his hand, "Look at what this is?" ”
Chen Tianfang took the folder with some doubts, opened it and looked at it, and couldn't help but widen his eyes. This is an inspection report of the Spiritual Research Center, and it is an appraisal report of the core of the Tiger Soul! This shows that the Tiger Soul Core has arrived! But the core of the tiger soul is obviously not in his hands?
Chen Tianfang couldn't help but look at the other thing Fu Xiaochen brought, a sealed box! The gaze is stuck to it like glue, and you can't pick it off.
Fu Xiaochen deliberately moved the sealed box, and Chen Tianfang's eyes also moved.
Chen Tianfang swallowed his saliva and said astringently: "You won't tell me that this is the core of the tiger soul, right?" ”
"Huh! "Fu Xiaochen patted the sealed box under his hand proudly.
"Alright, show me." Chen Tianfang carefully held the sealed box in his hand, put it on the table, opened the box, the white cold air overflowed, and in the middle of the sealed box was a sleeping tiger cub.
"What's going on?" Chen Tianfang was a little puzzled, why did the core of the tiger soul become a tiger cub?
Fu Xiaochen said proudly: "I secretly dug a pit for the tiger king, at the beginning I specially found a pregnant tigress, catalyzed the growth of the tiger cub with medicinal agents, so that its brain development can accommodate the core of the tiger king's consciousness, and I modified the genetic fragment of this tiger cub to make it stronger, and the future growth potential is extremely high!" I don't believe that the Tiger King can withstand this temptation and not fall into the pit! ”
"Then why didn't you tell me earlier? It's so bad that I'm worried about it" Chen Tianfang couldn't help but complain about his friend, and let himself worry and be scared for several days.
"Wasn't it undetermined at that time, you already had two soul crystals in your hands, in case the tiger soul core was in those two soul crystals, then didn't I lie about the military situation?" Fu Xiaochen changed the topic and asked, "What did the US ambassador and the director of the countermeasures command have to do with you just now?" ”
"They should have sensed that something was wrong, we made too big a move last time and leaked the news, after all, it is impossible to hide such a big thing as mobilizing 30,000 garrisons to blockade Feizhuan Mountain. There is also the continuous expansion of territory on the side of the Liaobei Army, which has made some countries feel uneasy. Moreover, the group of birdmen in the countermeasures command bureau also came in, and those international civil servants were wolves who ate meat, and they followed when they smelled blood, and they couldn't wait for any good things to be shared internationally, and they could sit back and enjoy the distribution benefits! When they killed the Beast King in the first place, why didn't they send people? Now I want to pick peaches, but there is no door! When it came to Paine and Jack Chen, Chen Tianfang was still angry.
"No matter, now I can finally explain to my superiors." After speaking, Chen Tianfang was about to take his things and leave.
"Hey, you want to leave now that you're eating and wiping?" Fu Xiaochen hurriedly stopped him. "What did you promise me?"
"Don't worry, I still have this face, but I have to take it up first! Thanks to the credit, I can talk to you. After speaking, without waiting for his old friend's reaction, he picked up the box, took the documents and left! Fu Xiaochen couldn't pull it.
"Hey, old boy! Running so fast! Waiter, give me a bowl of beef noodles, add more green onions, ginger and garlic, the taste is a little heavier, I have been hungry all day! Come on, come on! Fu Xiaochen flipped through the menu and found that there were no appetizing dishes, what kind of French-style baked snails, Japanese-style sashimi, and he was not afraid of diarrhea when he ate these in the morning. Which bastard boy wrote the recipe, go back and talk about him, it seems that he also has a position as the deputy director of the research room here. It shouldn't be too much to ask for a change in the recipe.
-------------------------------------
On the way back to the embassy district, Paine found a secluded place to stop the car, and sent the embassy vehicle back first, and made it into the car of the countermeasures command bureau.
"Recently, the international situation has been very bad, since the five major powers withdrew their troops from North Africa, those cultists have begun to act arrogantly, and now all the big countries are on fire in their backyards, and they are busy fighting fires, and the support for some things in the international community has become smaller. Last year, Mexico's ** also started a war to encircle and suppress infidels, but it was hit by people and illegal drug dealers, and the prime minister's office was trampled on.
The situation in the United States is not very good, and the opposition parties continue to attack ** inaction. But are these idiots who only organize protests pigs? No! Pigs are smarter than they are! Now there are constantly **** attacking American ** officials, and threatening us to let go of their companions, and the group of idiots in the opposition party actually said that they should agree to do this, and they also advocated that the life of an American is worth ten times the life of other countries! Such idiotic racial rhetoric has made us very passive in international diplomacy. Paine said something inconsequential to himself.
"It is our duty to eliminate cultists, and it will not change because of the change in the attitude of various major countries." Jack Chen replied lightly.
"There are only dozens of mutant beast kings large and small in the world! The Liaobei Legion ate the crab first, and took the lead after killing the first Beastmaster, and everyone was staring at them, wanting to see what good things they could dig from the Beastmaster, and the major powers were also selecting suitable targets in the country to start with, preparing to hunt the Beastmaster! However, some organizations that are not strong enough have started to play crookedly. I received news from China that a group of Doomsday Cultists smuggled into Huaxia through various means, and together with the followers of the Holy Advent Sect in China, they planned to steal the soul core of the Beastmaster! And the previous actions of the Huaxia military can't hide from those who have a heart, as long as they have a heart, they can immediately find out that the soul core of the beast king is in the magic capital, and then the magic capital will immediately fall into a crisis! Paine looked at Jack Chan next to him.
"We will strengthen the management of personnel entering and leaving the Demon Capital, Mr. Paine told me so much, do you want me to cooperate with you to do something?"
"They've been making a bit of a big move lately, and we still don't know who their enemies really are, are we or those beasts? We will not demand that the Countermeasures Command must do anything, as long as there are some aspects that we want to turn a blind eye to our actions. Of course, we will also promise not to destroy the basic order of the Demon Capital. After all, the Demon Capital Defense Circle is too important! Paine said to Jack Chen sincerely.
"Besides, Lord Paine, you should get out of the car" Jack Chen waved his hand, and immediately a subordinate opened the car door and asked Paine to get out of the car.
Paine got out of the car and glanced back at Jack Chen, but the other party didn't react, waved his hand, drove away his subordinates, and got into his own car and returned to the embassy.
"It seems that the last attack was more than just a test." The bald director lit himself a cigarette.
-------------------------------------
Saturday is a holiday, but most of the students in the first year of Lingchuan No. 2 High School did not go home, but chose various minor clubs, after all, even if they enter the major club, no one can guarantee that they will develop well in the major club.
At this time, Monroe nibbled on the pancakes and fruits as breakfast and walked into the club recruitment point of the Biological Research Society, and found that there were not many people here, only about 10, and there were five or six new cadres, Chen Ziyu was also among them, he was explaining the various benefits of joining the club for a classmate, and after seeing Monroe coming, he simply greeted him, and sent an electronic document introducing the benefits of club members and was busy with his own affairs.
Monroe was also happy to look at the corresponding documents on the side, and not only introduced the welfare of the members of the society, but also explained the development trend of biotechnology in the future. Munro felt that what the other party said was very correct, that human beings should not only think from their own development, but also from the monsters themselves. The appearance of monsters means that humans can cultivate stronger biological tissues through monsters, and even artificially breed monsters! But these are some unrealistic imaginations, but the great development of modern biotechnology has improved the varieties of many agricultural products, such as rice with higher yields per mu and hairy crabs the size of basins, which have greatly enriched the human dining table. Scientists in this area are often referred to as breeders.
