Chapter VII: The Day of the Scarlet Judgment (No. 7) 1
"Now, here's for you. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info" Ye Zifeng stood in front of the door of the dance hall with a serious face, the uniform of the Admiralty Fleet officer with red stripes on a white background was spotless, without a trace of wrinkles, and his hair, which was originally a little messy, was also trimmed this morning under the supervision of Xia Lu and Ye Kexin.
"What is this?" Xia Lu took the things handed over by Ye Zifeng, and couldn't help but wonder. A white evening dress resembling a wedding dress looked a little sacred in the light of the hallway, and her fairy-like countenance, coupled with two strands of dark brown hair hanging from the sides of her forehead, was enough to overpower any woman in the room. However, such a superb face at this time is not a perfect smile, but a trace of doubt and incomprehension.
The thing in Xia Lu's hand was like a car remote control, but there were only two fan-shaped ring buttons of the same size, the long side all up, and the short side all down, made of transparent plastic to reflect the soft light on the top of her head.
"Anyway, it's also a gathering of all the high-level officials of the Admiralty, if you don't have some preparations, it will be for Feng Fengxiang to keep it, but he has already said before that he won't come, so I can only keep it, but considering my position today, it's a little inappropriate for me to keep it, so I discussed it with Feng Fengxiang and decided to hand it over to you." Ye Zifeng talked eloquently, and at the same time straightened the tie with the neckline.
"You still haven't told what he is." Xia Lu hung her head a little helplessly, "According to what you mean, this thing is the security measures in the venue?" ”
"It can be said that one key is on, and the other is off." Ye Zifeng nodded, while Xia Lu carefully looked at the security switch that looked like a car remote control, pinned it to the spare space of the holster on his waist, and then wrapped his right arm around Ye Zifeng's left arm, and finally put a smile on his face.
"Let's go." Ye Zifeng looked at the door of the venue, coughed, his serious expression stretched slightly, and at least he had a smile on his face. How to say it, at least I can't let those old men who have never met him see the nervousness in his heart, although Ye Zifeng is already nervous at this time.
"Mr. Ye Zifeng, Ms. Xia Lu Mikara!" After reading Ye Zifeng and Xia Lu's invitations, the waiter at the door shouted loudly in the venue, like a group of ladies and gentlemen who were talking, announcing that the protagonist of this banquet had arrived at this time.
The originally noisy venue suddenly quieted down, and everyone's eyes were focused on Ye Zifeng and Xia Lu, even if Ye Zifeng had been watched like this many times, but at this time it was not exhaustive but a little embarrassing, after all, it was the first time to come to such a level of gathering, and it was inevitable that he would not be adaptable. But fortunately, this kind of gaze did not last long, and there was no look of disgust in the eyes that looked at Ye Zifeng, and everyone had soft eyes, just like watching their relatives go home, which made Ye Zifeng feel a lot more relieved, and this kind of gaze did not last long, and after a while, people looked away. Ye Zifeng took Xia Lu and began to move towards the corner of the venue. At first, people were just talking about something in a whisper, and then the tone gradually increased, and finally it returned to the noise that Ye Zifeng had just entered the venue.
"I'll just say, what are you nervous about, the people here are very friendly, everyone is a colleague on the same front, not to mention that you are a member of the fleet standing at the forefront, which is more worthy of respect. A large part of the fleet's ability to play a prominent role in the Admiralty until now was due to the invasion of the Pilgrims. Xia Lu let go of the arm that was wrapping around Ye Zifeng and looked around the venue.
"It's not that I'm nervous about this." Ye Zifeng sighed, nodded and thanked him, took two glasses of unknown white wine from the tray in his hand, and handed one of them to Xia Lu, "It's the first time I've come to such a banquet, and I'm just a little uncomfortable." ”
"You'll get used to it." Xia Lu replied with a smile, and at the same time took the white wine handed over by Ye Zifeng, took a sip gently, and then smacked his lips.
"Huh? Do you know how to taste wine? Ye Zifeng looked at Xia Lu and said with some surprise, and then brought the goblet close to his mouth and took a sip, and a mellow sweetness like cream spread out the moment the liquid entered his mouth like a good situation, making Ye Zifeng couldn't help but take another sip.
"No, it's just pretending." Xia Lu stuck out her tongue, "But this is really delicious, I think it's very expensive." ”
"How do you mean that, isn't it a waste to give me a drink?" Ye Zifeng smiled bitterly and looked at the goblet with wisps of transparent liquid.
"It's not a top grade, but it's nice to be able to drink like this here." A voice sounded behind Ye Zifeng, which really startled Ye Zifeng, but the first to react was not Ye Zifeng but Xia Lu opposite Ye Zifeng.
"Yo, Uncle Ruhl." Xia Lu smiled and raised her glass.
"I don't see how much you drink, so you're drunk?" Ruer also looked at Xia Lu with a smile on his face while holding a wine glass, and then turned his gaze to Ye Zifeng, who had already come back to his senses, "Long time no see." ”
"It's just over a day." Ye Zifeng sighed helplessly that Luer's memory had lost again, and he slammed the goblet against the wine glass in Luer's hand, and the glasses collided with each other with a crisp sound.
"That's not counting, we only did less than half an hour together yesterday. But retracting the words, why does the little girl want to be with you so much? Ruer leaned his face over with a wicked smile, and while talking to Ye Zifeng, his eyes were still looking at Xia Lu.
"It's not as complicated as you think." Ye Zifeng reluctantly pushed Luer away, "It's just ・・・・・・"
"What's it?" The smile on Ruhl's face grew even more eerie.
"That's it. Forget it, I won't tell you. Ye Zifeng hurriedly changed the topic, "By the way, did you participate in the last Judgment Day?" ”
"No, I didn't have that permission on the last Judgment Day." Seeing that Ye Zifeng was reluctant to continue on the previous topic, Lu Er didn't continue, "But I heard Feng Fengxiang say it, why didn't he tell you?" ”
"I didn't ask." Ye Zifeng sighed, "I would have asked in detail if I had known." ”
"Don't sigh, there is a road in front of the road, and the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge. It's better to go with the flow than any plan, after all, the plan can't catch up with the changes, even if you arrange it closely, it is impossible to have no omissions. Lu Er said to Ye Zifeng in a serious manner, which stunned Ye Zifeng for a moment, and then Ye Zifeng had a "disbelief" expression on his face.
"When did you become so literate? There is also 'the road in front of the lane mountain, and the boat is naturally straight to the bridge', where did you learn this? ”
"Hey, hey." In the face of Ye Zifeng's questioning, the serious expression on Luer's face that had just appeared and had not lasted long immediately turned into a proud smile, and he laughed twice before he continued, "How about it, surprised, I have read a lot of books about Chinese classic culture recently, such as "Analects" and "Spring and Autumn", and I have benefited a lot after reading it." ”
"Just blow it." Xia Lu poured cold water on the side at this time, "Uncle Ruer, have you also watched "Spring and Autumn"?" Do you know who wrote that? ”
"Uh, this, who wrote "Spring and Autumn"?" Ruer's face immediately fell, and he asked Xia Lu with a decadent expression.
"I don't know." Xia Lu raised her head and said with great certainty, and then took a sip of wine.
"No, I don't know?" Luer was stunned for a moment, "Little girl, I don't know what you ask?" ”
"It's not that I don't know, it's just that I'm not sure." Xia Lu had a professor's expression in class, and faced Ye Zifeng and Lu Er as if they were teaching some advanced magic secrets, "Spring and Autumn is actually a chronicle of the Lu State, but let Confucius revise and sort it out, in fact, it was not written by Confucius, but compiled by the historian of the Lu State. However, such a statement has always been controversial, but I still believe in it. ”
The expressions of "so that's the case" appeared on the faces of both Lu Er and Ye Zifeng, and then they lowered their heads and thought for a while. But before the two of them could look up and say what they thought, a voice came from a distance.
"Hey, you're here." All three of them were drawn to the sound at the same time, and looked up at the source of the sound. The dark brown curls were bumped and bumped as they ran, and a sunny smile appeared on the handsome Italian face.
"Anthony." Ye Zifeng stepped forward with a smile, and put the wine glass in his hand on the side of the meal, "We haven't seen each other for a long time." ”
"It's been five or six days." Anthony stopped and took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled, calming his heartbeat that wasn't fast, "How is it, don't you think about me." ”
"Thought." Ye Zifeng grinned, Anthony also grinned, and then the two hugged tightly, but then separated, "It's good, it's not enough, you're really ruthless, just shoot if you say shoot." ”
"I'm a little jealous." Xia Lu, who was behind Ye Zifeng, whispered to Ruer beside him.
"What's wrong? They have a deep friendship, what are you jealous of? Ruhl asked, puzzled.
"Zifeng has never hugged me like this." Xia Lu's face sank.
"That's it." Ruhl smiled slightly, "There will be a chance, don't worry about waiting slowly." ”
"Hey~" Xia ** Shen's face turned helpless, "No, I have to take the initiative." Saying that, Xia Lu raised her legs like Ye Zifeng and Anthony walking.
"Alas, what are you anxious about." Luer hurriedly stopped Xia Lu, "Be calm and calm, don't be too impulsive, even if you say anything, it's Judgment Day, and you have to go back to the hotel to hug it after it's over." ”
"It's just a black sheep." Anthony waved his hand disdainfully, but then he was a little depressed, "But the aftermath is indeed a little difficult, after returning home, I was reprimanded by the elders of the family, saying that 'even if you violate the rules of the Blue Book, you can't say that you will shoot and shoot, and if you want to be executed, you should wait until you return to the ground, not to mention that this is not a mortal crime' and so on, isn't this a judgment day, so I finally escaped, but I was only allowed to be supervised by the bodyguards sent at home." ”
"It's worth it." Ye Zifeng patted Anthony on the shoulder, "It's all going to pass, and the old people in the family will understand you, so it's nice to say, after all, you are for the sake of mankind." ”
"That's a nice thing to say." Anthony sighed, "The elders brought me to the fleet to put it bluntly, just to ask me to mix up my qualifications, who knows, I became the fleet commander of the main fleet." ”
"It's just an add-on, no matter what, when you enter the fleet, you can't just think about seniority or not, and you have indeed protected the earth behind you."
"That's right, but according to what you say, the biggest hero in the thirteenth battle for the defense of the solar system should be you, how can such a victory be measured in money." Anthony said indignantly, "Are the supervisors of the board of supervisors old and confused? ”
"Alright, stop complaining." Xia Lu and Ruhl stepped forward and said, "The people should be coming soon, and then the focus will be on Judgment Day." Zifeng, are your materials ready? ”
"I'm ready, I've already thought of the answers to all kinds of questions." Ye Zifeng nodded, but Ruer sighed.
"Didn't you say the answer to the question, haven't you seen it yet, you're going to go up and give a speech later." Ruhl covered his forehead with one hand and pointed to the lectern on the stage in the distance, where two technicians were putting the finishing touches.
"Acting, speaking? What speech? Ye Zifeng is a little messy, from the beginning of the matter to the present, none of them are under his control, or he has been out of tune at all. From the misunderstanding of the form of Judgment Day at the beginning to Feng Fengxiang's sudden withdrawal later, and then to the current speech, he was simply being led by the nose by the Elders, if it weren't for Feng Fengxiang's reminder last night, I am afraid that I would now think that I was wearing a prison uniform and walked into the scene of Judgment Day.
"I really can't help you." Xia Lu shook her head. Ye Zifeng looked at Ruer, and Ruer also shook his head.
"You." A stack of copy paper smashed into Ye Zifeng's head, and at the same time, a familiar voice sounded. Ye Zifeng raised his hand and took the copy paper above his head and glanced at it, then turned around and said with a smile, "Sister, you are the best for me." ”
"I'm not good to you, who is good to you." Ye Kexin, who was dressed in a black evening dress, hugged her hands with a helpless expression, "Okay, let's take a look, I just received the news that the elders will come early, and the judgment day scheduled to be held at twenty o'clock has been advanced to nineteen forty." ”
"That's what you mean." The four people opposite Ye Kexin all glanced at the watch on their wrists, "I still have ten minutes to memorize such a stack of materials?" Ye Zifeng measured the thickness of this stack of copy paper, about five millimeters, and if one was one-seventh of a millimeter, there were thirty-five sheets of this stack of copy paper.
"Thankfully, it's not two-sided." Ye Zifeng sighed, "Forget it, let's briefly introduce the content here." ”
"I'm too lazy for you." Ye Kexin glanced at Ye Zifeng with disdain, "It's just to introduce yourself, write about your life and something." ”
"Life." Ye Zifeng thought for a while, "Don't talk about your life before entering the Admiralty, I'm afraid of being embarrassed." ”
"I'm also afraid of being embarrassed." Ye Kexin raised his hand and flicked Ye Zifeng's brain.
"Oops." Xia Lu on the side walked over with a smile at this time, "Zifeng's past, it sounds quite interesting, my sister has time to tell me about it." ”
"No problem." Ye Kexin didn't wait for Ye Zifeng to refute and agreed, "After listening, you can publish a book and pass it on." ”
"Hey, I haven't agreed yet." Ye Zifeng rolled the copy paper into a paper roll and tapped it on Xia Lu's head, "It's okay, don't keep asking." ”
"It's suspicious." Xia Lu covered the top of her head and looked up at Ye Zifeng, who was five centimeters tall, "You don't say that I may not be able to write a book, but when you say this, I think it is necessary for readers and friends to understand your heroic deeds." ”
"Don't, don't." Ye Zifeng hurriedly smiled, "If you have something to say, can this matter still be discussed?" ”
"Publish the first one and show me, little girl." Ruhl laughed and patted Ye Zifeng on the shoulder.
"Then I'll take a second look." Anthony also smiled, and then turned his head to look at Ye Kexin.
"Commander-in-chief, long time no see." Anthony nodded.
"Long time no see, Anthony, I heard you did a good job." Ye Kexin smiled slightly.
"It's just the end, there's not much movement." Anthony shook his head with a smile, "And the last fish that slipped through the net was also solved by Ye Zifeng." ”
"It's really modest, much stronger than Xiao Fengfeng." Ye Kexin smiled and glanced at Ye Zifeng on the side.
"Group 1, are you ready?" Archer, still dressed in white, stood in front of the window and said through the headset.
"It's time to leave, sir." A response quickly came from the other end.
"What about the second group?"
"Everything is normal, my lord." Again, there was no delay in responding, which pleased Archer. It seems that the quality of the people here in Moscow is good. Archer thought to himself.
"Alice, how are you?" Archer continued.
"No problem, I'm in a good location and it's cloudless." Alice's answer came from the headphones.
"You are responsible for the first shot, you must hit the target, and taking out his Admiralty's defense system will definitely be in chaos." Archer nodded as he spoke.
"I see." Alice looked at the red carpet in front of the Ukrainian hotel through the sniper scope of the M200, and only a sniper rifle like the M200 could hit the target two blocks away, Alice was not worried that she would not evacuate before the arrival of the Security Council's emergency team, such a distance, compared to the time it would take five minutes or more to get here. Alice glanced at the picture hanging on the wall next to her. With white hair and white beard, coupled with his face without many wrinkles, it is not difficult to recognize that this is Feng Fengxiang, who fought with Alice yesterday.
"One shot." Alice's hands were compared to a pistol and pointed at Feng Fengxiang's forehead in the photo, "Pierce you." ”
"Immediately after a shot, retreat, clean up the marks, and don't forget to take the cartridge casings with you." Archer's voice rang through the headphones again, "You'll be back in Chicago when the mission is over." ”
"Return, Chicago." Alice was silent for a moment, "Are you really unaware of what's going on in Chicago?" ”
"Huh?" There was a hint of confusion in Archer's voice, "What's wrong with Chicago?" ”
"I don't know, it's just that the news on the Internet ten minutes ago said that the base set up in Chicago has disappeared, and I haven't received any news from the Chicago base for ten hours."
"Yes." Archer's voice was a little low, but he immediately said, "You don't have to worry about this, focus on your mission." ”
"Got it." Alice nodded, focusing her time again on the sight in the scope, where several white Bentleys slowly stopped at the door of the Ukrainian hotel.
"Archer, are you still there?" As soon as Alice saw it, she immediately reported to Archer, "The target has appeared. ”
"I see it." The archer on the other side responded, "Remember your goals. ”
"Leave it to me." Alice shoved a .408 CheyTac sniper cartridge weighing fifty grams into the chamber of the gun, opened the trigger safety, and then pressed the butt of the M200 to her shoulder.
"Have you seen Feng Fengxiang?" Archer said over the intercom, "I don't have a very good view here. ”
"Not yet." Drops of sweat oozed from Alice's forehead.
