Chapter 172: In the Urn
IC65, January 18, night.
A man named Lola. It had been more than two hours since Jill's silver scavengers received Curran and the others at the lighthouse and welcomed them to a spacious lounge.
This situation can be called a cold reception, but the four young people obviously didn't think about it, everyone has their own things to do. Su Le kept pacing, Mo'er absentmindedly adjusted the bowstring, her big eyes secretly followed Su Le's footsteps, Mo Liyun's daily closed eyes were suspended, and Curran held the tablet device to look through the pictures taken by the Sailfish on the road over and over again.
"2 hours without moving, you really look like those otaku chasing dramas." The stinky boy floated up to Curran, his eyes still closed, but Curran knew he could see without his eyes.
"Enough to fly? You still have the leisure to care about me. Curran's tone was relaxed, but his brow furrowed, and his fingers twitched across the screen.
"It's not enough to fly, this training method is addictive, you should try it too." The stinky boy shrugged, "Catchy? β
"Of the 327 faces captured by the Sailfish, the video is a little blurry, and 202 have been analyzed so far, and nothing has been found." Colan clicked on the opening photo column, and the screenshots of the head were neatly arranged, all of which were printed with a dark red watermark of "No such person", "The database of the intelligence department is still insufficient, basically only the information above the lieutenant colonel, and there is a long way to go." β
"It's always the people of Qingwei who did it, what does it make if it's Izumo, Lion City, Shangri-La, or Eden? Are you still planning to find out the Fanor of Weifu's private interview from among these more than 300 people? The stinky boy scoffed at Curran's no-nonsense behavior.
"It's different." Curran rubbed his eyebrows, staring at the colorful screen for a long time made him feel tired, "If it's Izumo's arbitrary behavior, I can interpret it as an invitation, the Lion City and Shangri-La are strategically highly unified, and the blockade they led can be regarded as a prelude to war, after all, the scavengers still have the intention of resisting." β
He looked away for the time being, looking at the floating Mo Liyun with interest, the stinky boy seemed to have developed the habit of floating with his feet completely relaxed, and the result was the same floating, Prodi looked domineering, and he was like a mischievous ghost, "The above three can be seen as a gesture of war, they want to drive the scavengers out of the territory or even exterminate them." β
"And what if it's the Ark's behavior?" The stinky boy is so curious.
"Ark ......" Curran's brow furrowed again, "Fina's judgment is beyond doubt, Fanor is attacking scavengers at this time for the sake of a large number of high-level abilities. β
"In other words, the interception of the former will be limited, and the interception of the latter will probably become life and death?" Mo Liyun also became serious.
"That's exactly what I'm worried about." While speaking, the computer's comparison suddenly had a result, the 284th avatar, Sa. Lieutenant Colonel of the Logistics Department of Les MisΓ©rables, Rwadi, "seems to be the worst outcome. β
"Where you come, you are safe." Mo Liyun grinned, "It's not too unexpected anyway. β
"I just don't understand, is Fanol so confident that he can defeat Andy?"
"You might as well ask me about the fourth-order matter." The stinky boy opened his eyes and looked at the door, and the other three were aware that the scavengers had finally arrived.
The door to the break room opened, led by Supal, all four of the Great Scavengers, followed by Laura. Jill, Chise Yuki and old friend Ianbi. Maurier.
A gust of wind blew, and Sule ran to his knees in front of Supal, and his knees hit the ground hard, tears running down his cheeks, and the boy burst into tears.
"Grandpa, Sulzheji has found you."
"Why bother?"
"When you didn't say goodbye, Souler swore to the gods that a man will do what he says, and this is what you taught me."
"What a stupid boy." Supal's hand was pressed against Sule's head, with great force, exactly as it was when he played a little later, "You shouldn't have come." β
"As long as I can see my grandfather, Souler will dare to break anywhere."
On the other hand, Andy's popularity is even greater. Mo'er had already run into her brother's arms, and the little girl hung around Andy's neck like a koala, giggling hehehe.
Curran and Andy looked at each other, each of them a little unsure of where to speak, and the air was full of embarrassment.
"Yo, where's the sword?" The stinky boy floated between the two, cutting off his gaze just right but not blocking anyone.
"Give it to Chise, one hand is not suitable for a sword." Andy smiled and glanced at the broken sword behind Chise, for a small man like Chise, even if the horse chopping knife was broken in two, it was still a bit long.
"The big war is coming, are you still unwilling to let me rule?"
"No need, keep blaming you and make me feel better." Andy gave him an apologetic look, but with Mo Liyun in the way, he wasn't sure if Curran could see it.
"Don't talk about the past." Mo Liyun floated in front of Andy, "How do you feel?" β
Fanor...... It lives up to its name. Andy's face was full of loneliness, "I thought I could use war to protect the scavengers, but I didn't expect that no matter what we did, we never escaped his calculations." β
"Compared to the power he never showed to the world, intrigue is what makes him the most powerful." Colan walked out of the blind spot of Mo Liyun's obscure, "In the battle of Vientiane, Maori judged that their purpose was to drag us down with a local war, and we also asked for something, but their purpose was Zhang Aijia." Zhang Aijia broke the game, but Maori fell into the quagmire, and by infiltrating the parliament and the media, the Pacific Rim dragged Maori to Solomon. Going round and round, we gained very little, but we missed the most opportune moment to enter the war, and watched them wipe out their opponents and allies and turn them into a behemoth. Curran smiled bitterly, "Qingwei is pervasive, and Fanor's conspiracy is interlocking, and it is often not until the fact that you can figure it out." β
"That's true." Andy empathized with Curran's feelings, "The alliance has weakened the scavengers with great fanfare, and we all believe that his purpose is to eliminate the scavengers organization, but I didn't expect that he didn't have us in his eyes at all, what he wants to eradicate is the survival soil of the scavengers." β
"He can see you." Curran turned on his computer and the screen showed Sa. "To be precise, he not only wants to eliminate the possibility of the next Scavenger Alliance, but also to wipe out the high-level abilities gathered by this Scavenger Alliance." β
"It doesn't matter, the alliance has decided not to resist, and we intend to abandon Izumo." After saying this, Andy's face showed a relaxed expression. Two hours earlier, they had been verifying Curran's message, and as a result, not only was the track from Izumo to Solomon blocked, but also the track from Nagahama to Matsubara, and the scavengers who were probing saw Maddie appear on the scene. The news confirmed, but the result of the discussion did not change, as the so-called battle was fruitless, and retreat was beneficial, and the Scavengers Alliance still decided to abandon Izumo and retreat to Solomon and Matsubara respectively.
"Unfortunately, this decision came too late." Curran sighed.
"It's not too late, it's not too late for the ideals of the scavengers." Andy Zhenzhi took off the badge hanging on his chest and stroked it gently, "Tomorrow, everyone present will withdraw from the Scavengers Alliance, we will bring the funds to Maoli, and bring the literature and patents above the fourth level to Huaxia, and soon two organizations adhering to the will of the scavengers will be established, and now Izumo is an urn, but he didn't expect that every scavenger who went out would become a tinder." β
Curran understood what Andy meant, these high-level scavengers intended to go alone, and the survivors of this baptism would carry on their perseverance.
As for whether anyone can successfully break through? There's always a way.
"In this way, we can finally fight side by side again." Curran smiled and held out his hand, clasping it tightly with Andy.
β¦β¦
The Lion City, the former power capital of the Trans-Pacific Alliance, has been dissolved, but the Lion City's influence is growing day by day.
This is the headquarters of the Maori front, and tens of thousands of troops have been reorganized and marched to the Lion City to form the Southern Cluster, and the commander of this huge cluster is none other than the former president of the Alliance, Hu Er.
Fanor came here secretly the day before yesterday, and lived in Hu Er's house, without asking, the purpose of the supreme leader of the Qingwei is the Scavenger Alliance, this time he is not only a mastermind, but also a warrior, only the fourth order can fight against the fourth order, and can contain Andre. Tolstoy was also the only one with Fanol.
The task is very heavy, but Fanol's face does not show fatigue, as Qingwei's opponents disappear one by one, the pattern of the whole world is becoming clearer and clearer, and the space for conspiracy is getting smaller and smaller. Today's Fanor only occasionally adjusts the direction of the Qingwei, and more often leaves it to Hu Er and Ling Tong, the leaders of the Qingwei, to do whatever they want.
For example, this time the overall layout of the Scavengers Alliance, Fanor did not interfere, it was completely the work of Hu Er, and he enjoyed this kind of days without thinking, which allowed him to make time for afternoon tea, just like now.
"Is it still customary to move from politics to the military?" Fanor smiled and asked Hu Er, who was sitting next to him.
"It's just a vegetarian meal, but it's a pity that Kinoshita died, otherwise he would be more suitable for this position." Hu Er waved his hand again and again.
"Kinoshita can be a good soldier, but the position of cluster commander is not something that a soldier can do well." Fanor picked up the cup, suddenly remembered the first and last time he drank tea with Su Zhi, and couldn't help but smile dumbly, "Leave the military problems to the experts, you just need to make this cluster run well." β
"I understand my flaws and never interfere in military issues." Hu Er nodded approvingly, "It's strange to say, but this has allowed me to establish some prestige." β
"A big man who doesn't value power, if I were a general below you, I would like it." I want to pick up the black tea like Su Zhi, this high temperature can't hurt him, but I don't know why, he can still feel the resistance of his body, probably this fear of burns is also imprinted in his genes, "Izumo did a good job." β
"I am ashamed of your compliments." Hu Er took a small sip of black tea, picked up a biscuit and put it in his mouth, "If it weren't for you just here, this plan would have almost failed." β
"It's not your fault, you don't know that Supardosan is Lian Dingjiang of the Huaxia Alliance, it's a big secret."
Lian Dingjiang is a third-order ability warrior of the Kunlun Organ, an important figure in the military map of China, a respected veteran, his appearance and life are rarely known, most of the time, he will wear a Tai Chi mask when he appears, which is very similar to Li Dajiang, so much so that many people in the Qingwei have suspected that he is a member of the Qingwei.
"I used to think that Lian Dingjiang was our comrade, but who knew that he was indeed a big scavenger with his head and tail exposed." Hu Er smiled, "The Huaxia Alliance's understanding of us should come from Maori, and with Supal's other identity, it is normal to be familiar with our model, but fortunately, it took action in time to block Izumo's external access." What do you think will happen next? β
"It's up to them to decide." Fanor drank black tea for a long time, "The decision to catch a turtle in an urn, whether the fish dies or the net is broken is not the fisherman, but the turtle." β
"What if you slip through the net?"
"Only the turtles can slip through the net, not to mention our people among them." Fanol gently put down the teacup, "Remember one thing, everything may not be satisfactory, and when it is really impossible to achieve the full work, you must learn to give up, and then adjust to the point of maximizing benefits." β
Hu Er stood up solemnly and looked at Fanor to the end: "Hu Er is taught." β
