Chapter Twenty-Nine: Swimming in the Lake
In the halls of the Heart of Shadows.
"King of hearts?"
"Yes."
"Did you really see the order from the Gendarmerie Command last time?"
"Indeed."
"Is there only the transfer of 'One-Eye'?"
King of Hearts frowned, "What's wrong?" β
"I got the news that I found a person suspected of being a 'mask' in District 13. You know, the smell of the people in the 'masque' is very special. If the gendarmerie headquarters secretly mobilized the 'masks' when they dispatched the 'one-eyed', their thoughts behind the scenes would be worth playing. β
"Wait a minute, I'll check the transfer records of 'One-Eye' and 'Mask'."
A few minutes later, the King of Hearts returned to the hall.
"Check it out, your message is correct. However, it's not 'Kamen', it's 'Guna', the captain of 'One-Eyed', she is indeed from 'Kamen', and your people are not mistaken. As for why the captain of the 'One-Eyed' went to the thirteenth district, I don't know, I can't find more news here for the time being. β
"The captain of 'One-Eyed' is a woman? Also born of a 'mask'? This is the first time I've heard of this. β
"'One-eyed' are all a bunch of nerds or perverts, hehe, I've seen the secret documents in the gendarmerie headquarters, and they don't feel at ease, so the captain of 'One-Eyed' is going to be transferred from outside. Okay, Cube Nine, do you have anything else to do? β
"No, thank you for the news this time, I'll remember it, and I'll pay you back next time."
"Hmm."
Xia Yiming, who was standing on the roof of the Xishan Inn, waited for six or seven minutes before receiving a connection from his father.
"How's it going, Daddy?"
"It's not a 'masked' person, it's a 'one-eyed' person."
"Then ,......" the fat man hesitated, "Do I want to reject Lu An?" If you investigate the 'one-eyed', if you are not careful, you will be caught by the 'one-eyed'. β
"He just wants to know who these are, and you tell him that is, and as for what to do next, you just wait and see. If there is a change, contact me in time. β
"Okay, I got it."

The Moon, east of Plato's Ring Mountain, at the foot of the Alpine valley, is precisely where the headquarters of the Gendarmerie Command is located.
To the south of the Gendarmerie Command is the only ocean on the Moon, the Sea of Rain, the first man-made ocean in human history and the largest storage of water resources on the entire Moon.
In fact, in the early days of the human space age, none of the 22 "lunar seas" on the moon had a drop of water, but only geographical names based on the landform.
In the lunar transformation program more than 400 years ago, in order to establish the atmosphere and ecosystem, establish the artificial star magnetic field, and establish the source of the water cycle, the plenary meeting at that time selected the deepest rain sea in the moon's 22 moon seas and transformed it into the only veritable ocean on the moon, while most of the other flat lunar seas were converted into human settlements.
When the Joint Command was planning to establish the Gendarmerie Command and located it on the moon, it immediately set its sights on the area between the Plato Valley and the Alpine Valley in the northern part of the Rainy Sea.
The Platonic Valley is enclosed on all sides, making it an excellent location for setting up a secret base.
Between the Alps and the Platonic Ring is the majestic valley of the Alpine Moon, whose terrain makes the gendarmerie headquarters towering between it fearless even in the face of the most terrifying Lord God-class battleship of mankind today, the "Odin".
Coupled with the abundant water resources adjacent to the Sea of Rain, the Gendarmerie Command is one of the strongest nails wedged into the moon by the Earth.
In the last war, even the imposing Outer Planet Combined Defense Fleet was helpless to take the fortress of the gendarmerie headquarters at that time.
The Gendarmerie Command, which has lasted just over half a century since its establishment on the moon, has now become a significant force in the Combined Command, and after the last war, it has become the de facto guardian of the Lunar Division of the Coalition Government, firmly tethering the moon satellite around the Earth.
And now, the marshal of the headquarters of the Joint Command and the commander of the headquarters of the military police command - Albert Schweyton, the de facto "emperor" of the moon, is standing upright in front of the window, quietly looking at the sea of rain in the distance.
His headquarters is located at the southern end of the Alpine Moon Valley, with a curtain wall on the sea side that overlooks the Sea of Rain, Plato's Ring Mountain, and the Alpine Moon Valley.
However, as the commander of the vast institution of the Gendarmerie Command, this kind of leisure time is very little and fleeting.
"Whenβwhenβ"
"Enter."
"Commander, the 'one-eyed' has begun to conduct a comprehensive screening of suspicious areas in Shanghai-Hangzhou City, the thirteenth district of the earth. But ......"
"What?"
"'One-Eyed' Captain 'Guna' left the headquarters without permission and led the team to Earth."
"Got it." Schwitton turned around and asked, "Has the chameleon returned?" β
"There's a report from the 'Mask' that the 'Chameleon' has returned."
"Let him see me in two hours."
"Okay. Commander, there is a third item in today's information briefing that needs to be looked at. β
"Say it."
"News came from Mars that the Lin family had sent Lin Yongxiu to the United Peak in Area Zero for a secret meeting. However, according to the information we intercepted, it seems that someone in the third area of Mars is dissatisfied with the Lin family's private actions and wants to attack Lin Yongxiu. The staff office asked for instructions on whether to inform the Lin family of the news. β
"No need. They know much more about things on Mars than we do, and since they're coming, we'll just have to watch. If you want to talk, you can go to the United Peak to talk, if you want to talk but can't come, you can only blame them for not negotiating. Just inform the Joint Command of this news. β
"Yes."

"What are you two doing on the balcony?"
The fat man snuck into the room and asked with a big grin.
When Lin Yongping saw this fat man, he remembered his unscrupulous words in front of the elevator, glanced at him, and ignored him.
"How did you get in, you fat man?"
"I gave you all the keys, how do you think I got in?"
"According to the regulations, isn't the key of the hotel not copied?"
"That's not the rule." The fat man replied nonchalantly, and after speaking, he deliberately squeezed his eyebrows at Lu An, and his face was full of blame.
Lu An then understood, "Do you have permission?" β
"Nonsense, this is my hotel."
Lu An nodded in understanding, pouted, and said, "That's why I envy you rich people." β
Lin Yongping, who returned to the room, faintly floated towards the balcony: "Don't compare me with him." β
Xia Yiming didn't dare to refute and smiled.
At this time, Lu An's brain flashed slightly, it was the class public news sent by the class leader Qian Qingqing.
"We're going to go on a lake together? Do you all swim together? Dead fatty, is this your idea? Want to see the squad leader's swimsuit? β
"I'd rather go swimming, but unfortunately Qingqing didn't. She wants to rent a boat and let everyone go to the lake to play together. β
"Boats? Isn't it forbidden to cruise on the Great Lake? β
"It's an ancient wooden boat, it's not self-propelled and it's not polluted, so it's not prohibited."
"Will you be in the boat?"
"Uh......"
The two stared at each other with big eyes.
Fortunately, when the two of them arrived downstairs to exchange contracts, Qian Qingqing pouted when he heard their question: "I didn't expect you two stupid people to go boating, the company that chartered the boat would assign personnel." β
"Oh, that's good."
The two of them breathed a sigh of relief.
In the minds of the two, if there is really no one rowing, the only people that Qian Qingqing can command are the two of them. Even, in the elevator that came down, the two of them had already made up countless pictures of tired dead dogs.
When more than 20 classmates left the hotel in a hurry, Lu An and Xia Yiming deliberately fell behind.
"How?"
"I've already checked, and the two people you asked to investigate are employees of the moon's largest tourism company, the 'Moon Shuttle Company', and the room they booked this time was for the tour group."
"The couple next door to you came from the moon with a tour group, but it seems that the status is relatively high, and the rest of the people live on the floor below you, and they were supposed to set up the entire two suites on the top floor. It's a pity that I got the first place. β
Lu Anxin tightened his heart and said casually: "These people are really strange. To say that although water resources are scarce on the moon, they are so rich, and when they come to the earth, there are so many oceans, islands, and beaches, where can they not go? Why did you end up in this little puddle? β
That man and woman are the logistics team of the 13th district branch of the gendarmerie headquarters, so isn't the face of this so-called "tour group" already clear?
They are the "one-eyed".
The two people who lived next door to him must be the leaders in charge of the "One-Eyed" operation.
"May I ask? Lu An. β
"What?"
"Why are you so concerned about that man and woman all of a sudden?"
Lu An hesitated for a moment, originally wanting to excuse himself by overhearing their strange conversation, and asked casually, after all, Lu An and they did have a conflict with the two.
But then he shook his head and said, "Can you not tell me why?" β
Xia Yiming nodded and said, "Understood, I won't ask more." However, the identity of the pair next door to you is very evil, you don't want them to have a conflict, call me in time if you have something, this is my family's territory after all. β
"Okay, I see, I'm measured. can casually charter this top floor, and it is extravagant enough to set up for one person, and he is not an ordinary person, I can't afford to provoke such a person. β
After Lu An finished speaking, he deliberately laughed.
As soon as the two walked out of the hotel, they saw Qian Qingqing waving in front of them.
A cargo spaceship is parked in the square in front of the hotel, and there is already a pure wooden ancient boat on the lake next to the square, and Lu An and Xia Yiming's classmates are boarding the boat one after another on the shore.
"This ship, tsk, it's really dark......"
Lu An stood on the shore and looked at it, so admiring.
"Don't talk nonsense, it's quaint, you know? This boat was called a painting boat a long time ago, but it was dedicated to swimming in the lake. β
"The problem is that I look at this thing as an antique, not like something that should float on the water, and it should be in a museum. Where did the squad leader rent it from? β
"Hey, you kid really have an eye, this painting boat is indeed an antique, I bought it just the day before yesterday."
"Uh, the squad leader doesn't know?"
"Qingqing doesn't know, don't talk too much, you kid."
"Fortunately, the squad leader is thoughtful, otherwise if I find that no one is rowing now, I will definitely poke this thing out."
"Don't talk about it when you're on the boat later."
"Well, you know, you think everyone is like you, with a mouth as wide as your waist. Hurry up, the squad leader is calling the two of us. β
The two quarreled and got on the antique painting boat one after another.
