Chapter 553: Kind Grandma
Coming out of the old comrade's bar, Ruth immediately found the mysterious stronghold of the COP according to the address he had given. After listening to the relays of her old comrades-in-arms, she felt that she had already raised her spirits when she touched this place, and first used a telescope to observe it from afar for a long time.
If this base is really as powerful as it says, then the security must be extremely tight, even if there are some strange people guarding here, it is not surprising. Ruth thought to herself, not daring to be careless, and cautiously approached the base.
COP's base is well hidden and hidden, located in a suburb of Boston where birds don't poop, and it's rarely populated. And it doesn't occupy a lot of land, and from the outside it looks more like an old granary than a base, and if it weren't for the fact that she knew the bartender very well, Ruth really had to wonder if she was being entertained.
She climbed over the exterior wall with ease, and walked silently like a night owl, only to touch the door in a moment. She approached quietly from behind the two gatekeepers, and her shot was as fast as thunder, knocking them down one after the other in an instant. She was a mercenary era called "Marauder", and her skills and fame were only under her father's death knell, and she would not be in vain.
After listening to the bartender's relay, she thought that she would encounter many obstacles and break through layers of obstacles when she infiltrated here, even if there were no advanced unmanned robots and a series of alien black technology armed warriors to guard her, at least she should install a new security setup, and set up a post at three steps and a post at five steps and a sentry. But when she went all the way into the warehouse, she found that except for the two guards in front of the door, she had not encountered any obstacles, and she couldn't help but feel very strange in her heart.
"Could it be that guy who dares to fool me?"
Ruth thought to herself, and then quickly put the thought aside.
Could it be that his information was wrong? If that is the case, then how can there be two heavily armed soldiers in front of the door in such a remote place?
The more Ruth thought about it, the more strange she felt, so she didn't speak for a moment, held her breath and continued to move forward, and after a while she touched the end of the warehouse. At this time, the thought of running away in vain had already appeared in her heart, and she was discouraged, but suddenly a faint light leaked from the wall in front of her, and a secret door was faintly ajar in front of her.
Ruth stopped, stunned. At this point, she was almost certain that she had been exposed, and the other party's gesture meant to invite her in. Since the other party is so fearless, even if he turns around at this time, it will definitely be difficult to get out of the whole body, so even if this is a trap now, there is only one way to break through.
Ruth thought for a moment, then stepped inside. Sure enough, she had just entered, and the secret door had closed behind her. Ruth was not surprised, and continued to walk forward.
After the secret door, compared to the outside, the painting style has changed abruptly, and the entire passage is full of science and technology, just like the deep mountain high-tech base in a science fiction movie. But after walking for three to five minutes, the style of painting suddenly changed, and the passages on both sides changed into stone walls again, winding down and extending away. At the height of the stone wall, there are bright-eyed torches hanging every three to five meters, and the strange flames dance and sway violently in the passage, and it seems to lead to a gathering place for religious fanatics, which only makes people feel creepy.
Ruth walked all the way, and she felt more and more strange in her heart, and faintly felt that her trip might have been more and more auspicious. After walking for more than three minutes, she finally came to the end. Walking out of the passageway, she had come to an incomparably open hall, which was surrounded by torches on all sides, and only looked solemn.
She walked to the center of the hall, paused for a moment, and suddenly her pupils shrank and she turned around. I saw that three strange guys had occupied the triangle of the hall at some point, and surrounded her in the center.
Ruth couldn't help but be horrified. She was confident that she had been unfollowed all the way, and confident that she could detect any scent of lurkers. And even if the three of them stood here face to face with her at this time, they were still lifeless, not even the slightest sound of breathing. But even so, the aura of these three people is also quite domineering, which makes people instinctively feel a strong oppression.
She was concentrating on guard, when suddenly an old voice came from behind her: "Ha, these children are a little rude, don't worry too much." ”
Ruth turned around, only to see a short, fat, gray-haired old lady hunched over in the main hall, and it was as silent as these three people, like a ghost. The old lady had a smile on her face, dressed strangely, with a white cloak behind her, and a fox-like cunning in her eyes.
Ruth still didn't dare to be careless, and asked, "Who are you?" What are you doing here? ”
"My name is Granny Goodness, you name it."
Ruth frowned, "Is this some kind of joke?" ”
"That's what the kids call me." The old lady said, "You ought to give advance notice of your visit, Miss Wilson, so that we can be a little prepared and welcome well, and we will not be as rude as we are now." ”
Ruth raised her eyebrows: "Thank you, you're welcome." ”
"You may sound like I'm mocking, but no, no, I mean it. We are very ...... You are very welcome and we are really very happy. Kind grandmother said, her eyes could not suppress the glint of joy. She looked Ruth's body up and down, as if she were looking at an undiscovered treasure mine.
Ruth subconsciously took two steps back, kept her distance, and said, "And the reason why you are so happy is because ......?" Speaking of which, you haven't answered my first question, who are you? What to do in this kind of place? What is your relationship with the organization of COP? ”
“COP? That's just our empty shell on Earth to facilitate our activities on Earth. "As for what we're doing here, trust me, you'll soon understand...... Use your body. ”
At this moment, in a tavern.
"Bang dang!"
A wine glass smashed to the ground, and the remnants of the glass spilled all over the ground. Fortunately, it was late at night, and the tavern was already sparsely populated, so it didn't have any effect, but it was just a little troublesome to clean up.
But the bartender who missed his hand for a moment was stunned, staring at the slag for a long time. Then he wiped his hands dry, walked quickly out of the bar to the outside of the tavern, and took out his phone and dialed a string of numbers.
A moment later, a powerful voice came from the other side: "Who?" ”
"Is that Mr. Slade Wilson?" The bartender asked.
"If it's business, talk to my agent."
"No, no, no," said the bartender, "it's about your daughter, and I'm an old friend of hers." ”
"Ruth?" Slade was surprised, he hadn't heard from his daughter for a while, and asked, "What's wrong with her?" ”
"I'm not sure, but I think your daughter may be in some very big trouble...... I don't know, but maybe you can help her. ”
