Chapter 1: A Feast in the Deep Sea (Part 1) 4

"Since my sister said that it was okay, then I was relieved, but the necessary vigilance was still necessary, I had already obtained permission to shoot before I went out, and the school board agreed to let me shoot live ammunition. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info" Xia Lu said casually, "I will protect my sister's safety." ”

Although his tone was light, he took a sip of Coke after finishing speaking, but the content of this Ha really startled Ye Kexin, like this kind of shooting permit, there are only five opportunities to apply for it in a year, and there is one less time and there is no guarantee that it will not be approved. Ye Kexin didn't know what method Xia Lu used to get the people from the board office to pass this review, but it was not difficult to understand if she thought about it, it was nothing more than using her duty time as a guarantee. But then again, what is Xia Lu's purpose in applying for live ammunition?

"That...... You apply for live firing, why? After Ye Kexin turned around, he immediately asked.

"A premonition in the dark." Xia Lu opened her mouth without thinking about it, and then showed an innocent smile. Ye Kexin's thinking couldn't keep up.

"Actually, I don't need to understand too much, I just think I have the opportunity to use live ammunition, and I have to use it, so I used two years of duty time in exchange for a shooting permit." Xia Lu didn't feel any surprise, seeing that Ye Kexin kept changing her thoughts and looked a little sluggish, Xia Lu smiled slightly, and then stretched out her right hand and shook it in front of Ye Kexin's eyes. Ye Kexin shuddered violently and woke up.

"Don't worry about this for now, hurry up and eat, it's going to be cold." Xia Lu took a big bite of the beef cheeseburger in her hand, the unique aroma of the fragrant cheese and the fried beef blended together, so that Xia Lu was fascinated, and she was willing to eat this kind of burger every time she came, but the special aroma was only one of the reasons why Xia Lu ate it every time, and another is that this is the cheapest kind of burger in this store.

The strange feeling didn't know when it dissipated into nothingness, which made Ye Kexin and Xia Lu, who were originally a little nervous, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, although vigilance is indispensable, but after all, there is no sense of oppression from being watched, and everyone will involuntarily relax. However, the good times did not last long, and the person who followed disappeared, but there were some small troubles in front of him.

Crime will exist in every city, this is a phenomenon that will never disappear in human society, as long as human beings exist on the earth for one day, crime will exist for one day, how many people want to eliminate it, but crime is like a cockroach how to eliminate it will not be extinct. Criminals range from waging wars to thefts. In the United States, this phenomenon will not go away, for example, some Americans who are too stressed to live do not have time to take care of their children, then these children who have never developed good habits will be attracted to each other like magnets, forming a small criminal group. Normally, these kids will be armed with murder weapons like daggers, and some will even have shoddy pistols, but no one will actually kill anyone, but if you don't accept what these people ask, chances are they'll take you to a deserted alley and take your belongings away.

The most typical is a group of people who stopped in front of Ye Kexin and Xia Lu, holding weapons such as baseball bats and short knives in their hands, there were about a dozen people, it was obvious that these half-grown children came for the looks of Ye Kexin and Xia Lu.

The age of these children is no more than twenty years old, but judging from the expressions on the faces of these children, it is not a matter of a year or two to engage in crime.

It's just that he went out to travel, Ye Kexin didn't bring a gun with him, and even the two military long knives that he applied for were stored in the Chicago Airport Guardhouse because they didn't pass through customs, although Ye Kexin knew that Xia Lu must have brought a firearm, but from Ye Kexin's memory, Xia Lu had a PKK-1990 "Magnon" pistol at most, and looking at Xia Lu's current outfit, it was obvious that she didn't bring the gun out.

Ye Kexin and Xia Lu had no way to retreat, thinking that the two women who wanted to take a shortcut and turned the wrong alley were behind a five-meter-high wall, and there were no trash cans and other stepping objects on both sides, so even if the two women were superhuman, they would never be able to jump over.

The heads of the thugs were full of smirks, and they kept turning a ten-centimeter-long butterfly knife in their hands, and they wore a baseball cap on their heads, and they took a few steps forward little by little, thinking about the depths of the alley after all.

"Hand over all the valuables on your body, your phone, cash, jewelry, and that box." The thug pointed to the long black box behind Xia Lu, "It's best for you to come with me too." ”

The dozen or so people lined up behind the gangsters laughed loudly, and their eyes were full of strange light.

"What to do? Do you want to do it? Xia Lu approached Ye Kexin and asked in a low voice.

"Try not to kill." Ye Kexin came over, but his eyes kept staring at the leader of the gangsters.

"Then I have a way, can my sister help me block it for ten seconds?" Xia Lu opened her mouth without thinking, and at the same time took off the black long box behind her.

"Do you have a weapon?" Ye Kexin nodded, and then took a step forward.

"Give." Xia Lu handed the bullet in her pocket to Ye Kexin.

"Good." Ye Kexin nodded again after taking the spur, and then said loudly to the leader of the gangsters in English, "You and I, one-on-one, if you win, I'll go with you." ”

"Huh?" The leader of the gangsters was stunned for a moment, but quickly came back to his senses and laughed out loud, his uninhibited laughter full of disdain, "I agreed!" ”

The leader of the gangsters bent over and put on a boxing posture, his right hand clenched the dagger tightly, and his left hand waved at Ye Kexin.

"I'm going to be on it." Ye Kexin bent over, the deerskin high-heeled boots under his feet kicked the ground suddenly, and his body turned into a phantom and ran towards the gangster, and at the same time pressed the bullet switch in his hand, the fifteen-centimeter-long blade popped out with a click, and his right arm was horizontal in front of him, accumulating strength, and the distance of the belt was close to swinging forward.

Seeing Ye Kexin's rapid movements, the leader of the gangsters did not panic, but appeared extremely calm, his eyes were fixed on Ye Kexin's movements, as if he wanted to read Ye Kexin's movements, his brows were slightly circumferential, and the expression on his face became extremely serious.

Approaching, Ye Kexin saw the opportunity, and vigorously swung out the dagger in front of him, the silver blade turned into a silver streamer, and slashed towards the wrist of the gangster leader, but the gangster leader grasped the timing of Ye Kexin's knife, flexibly stepped back, and easily avoided the one that Ye Kexin seemed to be sure to hit, and then took advantage of the fact that Ye Kexin's old power had not gone to the new force, and his right hand slammed forward, and the short dagger in his hand stabbed Ye Kexin's neck. As can be seen from the parts of the two attacks, one is to repel the opponent, and the other is to take out the opponent.

Xia Lu took a few steps back, put the black long box flat on the ground, calmly dialed the four-digit combination lock, clicked, the lock opened, Xia Lu opened the lid of the box, and took out an orange and black sniper rifle from it. Dragonov sniper rifle, for which Charlotte applied for permission to shoot.

Skillfully loading the magazine, pulling the bolt, and loading the bullet, this series of actions was done in one go, and Xia Lu could train this gun on the battleship "Jehovah" for a whole year to use this classic semi-automatic sniper rifle proficiently. I don't dare to say that Xia Lu can hit a straight target within 500 meters.

Jumping over the black long box in front of him, Xia Lu ran back to the previous position with a sniper rifle, pointed the muzzle of the gun at his front, aimed at the leader of the gangsters who were fighting with Ye Kexin, and shouted loudly in English.

"Lay down your arms, I promise not to shoot!" Xia Lu put the teak butt against her shoulder, and put on a standard standing shooting pose, the scale mark of the color of the sniper mirror has been moving non-stop with the temples of the gangster leader, and the 7N14 in the chamber of the gun is also ready to fire, as long as Xia Lu pulls the trigger, the firing pin will fire the primer, and the bullet will pass through the gangster's brain in less than a thousandth of a second.

"It's too slow!" Ye Kexin jumped back a step back and came to Xia Lu's side, raising the dagger in his hand to face the gangster leader. Seeing Xia Lu take out the contents of the black box, the thugs were suddenly a little flustered, even if the United States allows residents to hold guns, but like this Soviet sniper rifle during the Cold War, these thugs have only seen it in games or pictures, like real guns, no one has really seen it, but after seeing it, the deterrent power emitted by this gun immediately shocked the thugs who were about to move, and the two sides were deadlocked for a moment, and the expression on the face of the gangster leader was immediately distorted, looking a little hideous.

"Let's go!" Roared in a low voice, the leader of the gangsters was also wise, and within a few seconds he judged that the form was more favorable to that side, it was obvious that once the other party fired, the first person to be hit by the bullet was himself, of course he had no reason to lose his life for a few hundred dollars, and there was also a whisper in the gangster group such as "retreat first", and the gangster leader naturally had no reason to stay here. The other party has a gun, and he should get out of here because of this.

Looking at the little thugs who hurriedly left the dead end, Xia Lu and Ye Kexin breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, exiting the bullet in the magazine and the chamber, Xia Lu took the bullet that Ye Kexin handed back, put it back in his pocket, and then walked back to the black box and began to clean up

Dragonov semi-automatic sniper rifle. Ye Kexin walked over and quietly watched Xia Lu pack up the rifle, and then carry the black box on his back.

"This gun is what you call 'Mr. Yamamoto's collection'?" Ye Kexin looked at Xia Lu with a strange expression on her face and asked.

"Hmm." Xia Lu didn't hide it, and nodded directly, "I found it at the Tokyo headquarters, but the barrel was broken, so I sent it to the logistics department to find someone to repair it, and then Mr. Yamamoto gave me the gun." ”

"You want it." Ye Kexin walked out of the alley with Xia Lu with black lines on her face, this time the two did not take a shortcut, but walked back to the hotel along the street.

It was now half past one in the afternoon, and there was still half an hour before the UN Security Council group meeting began, and the two did not delay in the hotel, but quickly took the sorted materials and rushed to the UN headquarters building.

After the accident passed, the two women entered the United Nations Headquarters building as staff members.

The towering dome and a circle of searchlights brightened the entire Security Council conference hall as if it were daytime, and there were not many people in the empty Security Council hall, after all, the time for the meeting to start had not yet arrived, and Xia Lu did not get the permission to participate in the meeting, so she had to stay in the guest room of the United Nations Headquarters Building, waiting for the end of the meeting, while Ye Kexin changed her clothes and came to the venue ten minutes early.

The Chamber of the Council was a gift from Norway by the Norwegian architect Ahlenstein. The wood-colored rotunda is lined with no less than 10 rows of seats, and behind the windows on the second floor of the surrounding face are the rooms where the interpreters speak and speak in the six official languages of the United Nations: English, Chinese, Spanish, Arabic, French, and Russian.

On the huge wall on the right side of the hall there is a peculiar oil painting, according to the narrator, this painting is also painted by a Norwegian artist. Kroger's oil mural shows a bird flying out of the ashes, which the narrator says means reconstruction and recovery after World War II, while the gray background and brightly colored pictures are a harbinger of a better future. However, after Ye Kexin heard it, she complained in her heart and said, isn't it a phoenix that will be reborn from the ashes, and the future will be better? Don't be kidding, it should be the future. Although the Pilgrims stopped invading for a year and left the Admiralty idle, everyone knows what this means, which means that the next invasion will be more violent, and the defense line of humanity will most likely collapse, and when the time comes, not to mention the good, there may not even be a future.

Although the things in Ye Kexin's heart became heavier and heavier, the smile on her face still did not diminish in the slightest. After explaining the paintings, the narrator pointed to the thick tapestries hanging on the wall and the curtains hanging in front of the windows in the direction of the East River, which are made of blue and gold wire, which represent the anchor of faith, the wheat of hope that grows, and the heart of kindness. Ye Kexin nodded again and again when she listened, but this was an action on the surface, and God knows what kind of groove Ye Kexin was spitting in her heart at this time.

After all, it is no better than an art gallery to hold meetings, and there is no need to make it as magnificent as the palace, as long as the space is large enough and there are enough people to sit, any group of people can discuss the world's major affairs, but the Norwegians moved this factory into the United Nations headquarters building and decorated it to make this factory look more pleasing to the eye.

Ye Kexin sorted out the information in her hand and made it to the preparatory seat next to the rostrum, preparing to speak on the stage after the Secretary-General finished speaking. After calming down and feeling a little excited, Ye Kexin took out a grooming mirror and the gold-rimmed glasses she usually wore from the pocket of her jacket and put them on the bridge of her nose. This pair of glasses is not an expensive color, the lenses and frames cost a total of two hundred and thirty yuan, which is Ye Kexin's eyes when she was eleven years old, 50 degrees of astigmatism, 150 degrees of myopia, calculate that this pair of glasses has been used for nearly thirteen years, as for why Ye Kexin is reluctant to change to a new one, the reason is very simple, this glasses were given to her by Ye Zifeng with pocket money. It is said that Ye Zifeng is really a good person, as long as he does good deeds, he can find him. Originally, Ye Kexin's eyes were broken when his classmates were fighting, after all, he was young, and it was natural that he didn't dare to tell his parents if he did something wrong, so Ye Kexin found Ye Zifeng, but Ye Zifeng, who was still in the first year of junior high school, didn't say a word, and after school, he pulled Ye Kexin straight to the optical store, and donated all the pocket money he saved to buy figures and novels to the optical store, and matched Ye Kexin with these glasses. Ye Kexin was very moved, so she was reluctant to change.

The slim Dior women's professional wear made herself look more energetic, although the white shirt lined with the inner lining was a little unbuttoned for some reason, but Ye Kexin still held her breath and tied the buttons all the way to the neckline, and then put on a short tie with a length of only thirty centimeters. The long black hair that was often draped on the back also asked Xia Lu to help comb it into a bun and tie a hairband that was also black.

Ye Kexin looked at herself in the mirror and smiled, she was very satisfied with her current outfit, she didn't look like a decisive and usually off-line Admiralty Fleet Commander, but like a capable Wall Street female financier, Ye Kexin couldn't help but think in her heart that if she dressed like this and walked around Wall Street, her photos would definitely appear in various newspapers the next day, and Hollywood would come to dig up the wall after that.

The phenomenon in his heart was interrupted by a gentle cough, and a man in a logo suit sat next to Ye Kexin, his thin beard was obviously carefully trimmed, and his bright short brown hair was turned back into a curl, and with a gentlemanly smile on his face, he looked at the watch on his wrist.

This is a code, Ye Kexin suddenly remembered a passage before Feng Fengxiang reminded himself, "We will send someone to protect your safety in the venue, to be specific, I don't know, but that person should be able to recognize you, and he will say ...... after being next to you and looking at his watch."

"It's a real coincidence that I actually stepped on the dot to get in." The man smiled and said a word, his tone a little nonchalant.

Ye Kexin immediately rolled up her sleeves and looked at the watch on her wrist, which was also given to Ye Kexin by Feng Fengxiang before leaving, saying that "a successful woman can't just look at the time displayed on her mobile phone"

The minute hand is still a short distance away from twelve, although it is very close, but it must not be said that it is fourteen o'clock now, it is obvious that this man is the commissioner sent by the New York headquarters of the Admiralty Security Council to protect himself, although Ye Kexin does not understand how this person got permission to participate in the meeting, but there is such a powerful character next to him to protect, and anyone who changes it will feel at ease.

"I'm sorry sir, but these seats are for those who come up to the stage to speak." Ye Kexin pretended to frown, and looked at the commissioner beside him, this outfit looks very valuable, and all kinds of equipment should be about to catch up with the level of CIA agents, Ye Kexin can see that the suit on his body is lined with Kevlar fiber, although it is very thin, but it is absolutely bulletproof.

"I'm sorry ma'am, I was in the wrong place." After hearing Ye Kexin's words, the commissioner hurriedly got up and apologized to Ye Kexin in official English, and then turned to leave, Ye Kexin looked left and right, and picked up a very inconspicuous note in the position that the commissioner had done before. Using the printed speech materials as a cover, Ye Kexin quietly unfolded the note, which did not have too much language, and wrote two sentences in round English very sullenly, "Someone is following, please be careful."

After seeing it, Ye Kexin was not too surprised, and immediately stuffed the note into the pocket of his jacket and hid it, and then clicked on the materials in his hand. At night, the second hand and the minute intersected at 12 scales, and it was 14 o'clock sharp, and the UN Security Council group meeting officially began.

The Secretary-General pushed the eyes on the bridge of his nose and calmly walked up to the rostrum, because this time the back of the conference room was held temporarily, so even reporters who got the news could not enter the venue for broadcasting, so there was no flashing lights in the venue, everything seemed to be in order, and representatives of more than 100 countries took their seats at one time, waiting for the speech of the UN Secretary-General.

"Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen, I'm sorry to inform you of the meeting, but according to Miss Ye Kexin from the Admiralty on my left, they have found something very important, so I have discussed with the secretary and decided to convene this emergency meeting on an ad hoc basis." The Secretary-General did not bring any information to the podium, and it can be seen that this fluent and flawless speech is a speech that the Secretary-General has now come up with, "Next, I would like to invite Miss Ye Kexin to come to the stage to give an explanation and report on the latest research of the Admiralty." ”

The sparse palms sounded, and every permanent member of the United Nations sitting in the conference hall clapped their hands weakly, and it could be seen that these people did not have too many expectations for Ye Kexin's speech.

However, Ye Kexin did not appear discouraged by such applause, but became more and more energetic, and walked up to the rostrum from the stairs on the side of the rostrum, and the extremely unaccustomed eight-centimeter high heels on his feet clattered on the solid wood floor, which may be the only one in the conference hall that sounded.

Passing by the secretary general, Ye Kexin stood behind the podium in the center of the rostrum, pushed the gold-rimmed glasses on his face, put the materials in his hand on the podium, adjusted the position of the microphone, and began to speak.

"Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. I know that most of us are still uncomfortable with the impromptu meeting, but the reports obtained from the Institute this time show an extremely important event, and it is very likely that in the coming month we will find out why our enemy Pilgrims are coming to Earth, and why they tirelessly send warships to the solar system to attack us every year. ”

Still looking handsome and gloomy, the directors listened to Ye Kexin's speech indifferently.

"This report points out the purpose of the pilgrims, our earth has the remains of advanced civilization that we cannot imagine, according to the research projection, the level of technology contained in this ruins is far beyond the level of human technology in the current ten centuries of technology, once the advanced technology in the ruins is obtained, it is entirely possible for human beings to leave the solar system and travel in the galaxy within half a century."

This paragraph finally attracted the attention of the directors, and the directors began to concentrate on looking at Ye Kexin, who was speaking on the stage, with a serious expression.

"So, on behalf of the Admiralty, I would like to use a small amount of technology at our disposal in exchange for mobilizing a naval fleet to the United Nations to explore the ruins of the Mariana Trench." Ye Kexin continued, every word could tug at the heartstrings of the directors, and he said, "We want to start the Mariana Project." ”
