Chapter 40
Ruby tells Caitlyn about what happened. She was a little depressed, "That's pretty much the way things are, Ke must be in a very dangerous situation right now." ”
Caitlyn rested her hand on her curvaceous chin and listened intently to Ruby's story. She pondered for a moment and then said, "Hmm...... According to what you said, Jiang Ke should not be in danger of his life for the time being. ”
"How do you know?" Ruby was full of questions about Caitlin, and just talking about her photo of Jiang Ke made Ruby puzzled.
Could it be Jiang Ke's girlfriend? She thought in her heart, but she had never heard Jiang Ke mention it.
Caitlyn sat down next to Ruby, looked around, and whispered, "That old voice you spoke of should be the military chief here, Victor. Since he locked up Jiang Ke instead of killing him directly, it shows that Jiang Ke is still valuable, and he must have other plans. ”
"Well, that's right. Along the way, Alita's gang wanted to capture Jiang Ke alive. Ruby recalls what happened in Ann Rekchi.
Caitlyn nodded, "Hmm...... That makes sense. Immediately, she looked at Ruby, as if she could get some information from her eyes, "Do you have any other partners?" ”。
"And Jaime and Nadia. However, Jaime had already followed Alita's men to their base. And Nadia ...... No more, no more. Ruby lowered her head in a panic, trying to avoid Caitlyn's gaze.
She couldn't fully trust Caitlyn yet, for fear that she would leak out and tell the Slots about it.
The corners of Caitlin's mouth curled, and she said with a smile, "It seems that I still haven't gained your trust." Children should look like children, and although the world has become like this, it is still cute to be frank. ”
Ruby looked at Caitlyn in surprise.
Caitlin stood up and patted Ruby on the shoulder, "It's not early, you can rest for a while." ”
Ruby hurriedly shook her head, she didn't come here to sleep, "But...... Jiang Ke ...... "She wanted to speak and stopped.
"Don't worry, leave the work of gathering intelligence and rescue to the adults, rash actions will only lead to failure." Caitlin fiddled with her hair, and her gesture was quite charming.
"Sleep well to develop well. I'm ready to wake you up. Caitlyn said, straightening her chest and stepping out of the tent.
"I want to participate too!" Ruby emphasized his claim behind Catherine.
However, Caitlyn did not answer her, and gradually walked away.
"Damn, being treated like a child." Ruby muttered reluctantly.
She fell on the pillow, her mind full of speculation about Jiang Ke's current situation.
Exhaustion and sleepiness gradually swept over her, and Ruby fell asleep unconsciously.
Early the next morning.
"Hey, wake up." Caitlyn ruffled Ruby's hair and whispered, "Wake up." ”
"Uh-huh......" Ruby groaned and got up slowly, she hadn't slept in bed for a long time, and her complexion was much better than usual.
"A child is a child. Would you like to sleep a little longer? Caitlyn lowered her head and looked at Ruby with a wicked smile, "I'll save Jiang Ke." ”
When Ruby heard the word "Jiang Ke", he sat up with a "poof". She quickly tied her hair up, casually draped her coat, and said, "Let's go." ”
Apparently she had forgotten that Caitlyn wasn't going to get her involved last night.
"Don't worry, you listen to me first. Judging from the information I have so far, Jiang Ke should be locked up in the command building over there in the barracks. I don't know exactly which room it is, but you say you can hear his surroundings through your walkie-talkie, so we can use that to search for that when the time comes. Plus, I've got a way to get into the building. Catherine leaned her head to Ruby's ear and said quickly.
Ruby couldn't hide the excitement on his face, "That's great! What are we waiting for? ”
"But...... The question is how. There were only two entrances and exits to the building, both of which were filled with Victor's cronies. Speaking of cronies, you should understand what I mean, right?
Let's just talk about the difference in combat power, and there are so many ordinary people training on the field. It is almost impossible to rescue so many people right under their noses. Caitlin shared the information she had gathered overnight with Ruby.
Ruby's expression was complicated.
After a while, Ruby said hesitantly, "We can tell you that this Alita Company is the operator behind the Creator." ”
Caitlyn shook her head, with a "you're still a kid" expression, "Is that any use?" Some of the people in the camp are already devout believers, and some of them have not really experienced those things, and no one will believe them. ”
"I have a video here!" Ruby thought for a moment and pulled out the short film they had gotten from the Sniper.
Caitlyn sighed as she tried to dissuade Ruby, "And how do you play these short films?" And again, how many people want to believe it? For many people in this camp, this refuge is the last Garden of Eden, and Jiang Ke is just an unrelated name in our mouths. There is no sudden sense of justice in this world, especially under this apocalypse. ”
Caitlin looked at Ruby's sad face and added, "Also, I heard that Jiang Ke will be transferred to Alita's secret facility today. ”
Ruby was silent for a long time, and she suddenly asked, "Are your people still willing to continue with the plan?" ”
"Huh?" Caitlin was a little surprised by Ruby's reaction, "People are willing to take risks, but the success rate is ......"
Through Caitlin's expression, Ruby could see that Caitlyn had made great efforts for Jiang Ke.
Ruby's uncharacteristically resolute attitude asked, "Do you want to save him?" ”
Caitlin bowed her head slightly, her eyes mixed with a hint of loneliness, "Hmm...... That's right. I want to save him. ”
"If I say I can get them away, do you think there's a chance of success?" Ruby asked.
"Hmm......" Caitlin looked at the underage girl in front of her suspiciously, and said with some hesitation, "I can't say 100 percent, but there is a chance." ”
"Okay, then please take the trouble to prepare, if the people on the venue don't leave, then the plan is canceled. But if their attention is attracted, we move on. ”
"But ......," Caitlin wanted to ask, but she hooked her lips and smiled, "Ah, children are just good, so energetic." Good! I'll come as long as I go, give me half an hour. ”
Ruby nodded at Caitlin.
After Caitlin walked away, Ruby began to contact Nadia, "Nadia? Can you hear me? ”
"I'm here." Nadia still had the same undulating voice.
Ruby was a little embarrassed, "I need you to do me a favor...... You know, where we are now. ”
"No problem, I heard what you said. Leave it to me. Although Nadia was not around, Ruby could still imagine her expression through that calm tone.
Ruby, who was still calm and decisive just now, suddenly looked a little submissive. "Do you really want to? Do you know what I want you to do? You may be in danger...... I'm still wondering how to convince you ......"
"Think of it as the price of gaining your trust." Nadia said.
"That ......," Ruby wanted to say something.
"In 30 minutes, I'll be waiting for you to get in touch." Nadia didn't give Ruby a chance to continue.
After a moment of silence, Ruby took a deep breath and said into the headphones, "Nadia, thank you. ”
Caitlin returned to the tent on time as promised, and everything was already arranged.
Caitlyn, who nodded to herself, Ruby gave Nadia the command to act through the headset.
Caitlin waited silently, expecting something loud to happen soon. But after a while, the inside of the vault remained as it was, and no one was in the slightest panic or affected by anything.
"Failed?" Caitlyn couldn't help but ask.
Ruby was also apprehensive, and she kept calling through the headphones, "Nadia? Nadia? ”
At that moment, a shrill siren sounded inside the shelter.
"I'm a little busy right now." Nadia replied briefly, and then stopped talking.
Caitlyn and Ruby looked at each other, nodded, and moved quickly.
The two of them walked out of the tent, and there was already a panic outside. The militia was urgently assembled on the ground, and the old and weak women and children in the living quarters were running back to their tents in a panic, and some of the more daring ones were looking around, trying to get more information.
Gunfire rang out from around the perimeter of the shelter.
Caitlin couldn't help but be a little surprised to see such a big battle in the shelter, she thought Ruby was just talking casually.
Caitlyn couldn't help but compliment, "What is the origin of this person named Nadia, who can actually do this." ”
The plan went so smoothly that Ruby obviously didn't believe his eyes a little as well. "It's a long story, let's save Jiang Ke first."
Caitlyn quickly pulled a maintenance cart, Ruby jumped on it, hid in it, and the two walked unhurriedly towards the barracks.
At this moment, the two of them could already hear the voices on the barracks grounds, and they could vaguely hear people repeating one word - Slots.
"Slots?" Caitlyn repeated incredulously, her expression a little subtle.
But there was no time to think about it at the moment, the situation was beyond her expectations, and she could only take one step at a time.
A soldier gestured to stop the maintenance cart, "Stop, stop!" ”
"What's wrong?" Caitlin could tell from the tone of the conversation that the guards in front of her should be her own.
The guards looked left and right with some concern, and then said, "The colonel ordered all refuge to enter martial law. No entry is allowed here. Trespassing will result in shooting. ”
