On a sunny Saturday, Ye Zifeng was called by Saber to have lunch together, and after a sumptuous lunch, Saber took Ye Zifeng to his office at the headquarters of the Defense Department of District 0202. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 There is a beckoning tree and a goldfish bowl on the windowsill, and the bookshelves are filled with hardcover books.

"Just sit down." Saber gestured to the sofa group, and he made two cups of coffee on the cabinet to the right hand of the door and brought them to the crystal coffee table.

"You're going to enjoy it." Ye Zifeng sat on the sofa, looked around Saber's office, and exclaimed, "This office will cost at least hundreds of thousands of dollars to decorate." ”

"Two hundred and fifty-five thousand three hundred yuan to be exact." Saber made it to another couch.

"Come on, calling me out today is definitely not as simple as inviting me to dinner." Ye Zifeng tasted the black pepper taste of the sirloin steak before, "Although I also hope that you will come out of me just to have a meal." ”

"That's going to disappoint you." Saber smiled slightly, got up and picked up a folder from his desk, pulling out the papers inside.

"This is the last goal, kill him, and the rest of the operation will be carried out smoothly." Saber pushed a photo in front of Ye Zifeng, along with a dozen documents, "I'll leave this matter to you, we already know his itinerary, so we designed a sniper plan." ”

Ye Zifeng picked up the information on the table, flipped through it, and Saber explained to Ye Zifeng at the same time.

"Well, O'Sullivan. Colonel Burke, an 'outsider' member of the United States, is the head of defense along the western coast of Area 0003 in the Department of Defense, which means that his jurisdiction is in California. That's not a small position. Ye Zifeng read out the contents of the document softly.

"At 2:30 p.m. today, he will appear at the Hilton Hotel to meet with the local Minister of Defense." "That's all we know, and it's up to you to judge for yourself." Improvisation is essential in the action, your gear can be picked up downstairs, and someone else must act with you. ”

"Who?" Ye Zifeng looked up at Saber, his eyes full of doubts.

"Alice." Saber took a sip of the coffee on the table that had cooled, "Archer's apprentice, a good sniper, she was the one who shot Operizzi yesterday. Professor Guderian. ”

"Why do you have to go on a mission with me?" Ye Zifeng put the file back on the desktop and asked suspiciously.

"I heard that it was Archer's praise of you all in front of Alice that made Alice very bad, so I want to use this operation to compete with you." Saber thought about the wording. However, Ye Zifeng frowned slightly after hearing this, and looked a little unhappy.

"This operation is crucial, not a child's play for competition." Ye Zifeng said solemnly, "Since she is so confident in herself, let him carry it out by himself, and partner with her, I don't worry." ”

"If you let Alice hear this, I'll be sad for a while." Saber smiled helplessly, "Don't worry, no matter how ignorant Alice is, she knows that what has happened recently is crucial to the future of the Admiralty, and she will not abandon the overall situation for personal interests at a critical time." You're the first scorer, and when you miss, there's Alice to make up for it. We only had two shots, and the only thing we could see Colonel Burke at the Hilton was the glass hallway on the thirty-eighth floor, but it could be surrounded by a large number of soldiers, so I need you to shoot in a helicopter. ”

"Helicopters? Wouldn't it be too obvious? Ye Zifeng asked with some concern.

"No, Colonel Burke's itinerary is closely guarded, and helicopters will follow him at all times, and a helicopter happened to fly over the Hilton when Minister Burke was shot." Saber prompted.

"I see."

Ye Zifeng nodded and looked at the wall clock on the wall, the current time is twelve o'clock at noon, and there are still three hours and eighteen minutes before the task time, Ye Zifeng has enough time to prepare.

"That's right." Ye Zifeng suddenly remembered something, "Why are so many 'external' senior personnel involved in the operation organized by the Admiralty?" ”

"They're not here to take part in the action." Saber pointed out the important point, "You should understand that people are separated by each other, everyone has their own little abacus in their hearts, and you will never understand what others are thinking. Of course, they didn't come here to participate in the action, they came to get a piece of the pie. To be honest, we admit that I took advantage of this opportunity, and once the call is issued, the 'outside' members who have betrayed the Ministry of Defense will definitely jump out, and this is a good opportunity for us to catch them all. ”

"I understand." Ye Zifeng nodded.

"You've watched anime, EVA." Saber abruptly shifted the subject to the cartoon.

"Yes." Ye Zifeng was stunned for a moment, and nodded subconsciously, "What are you talking about?" ”

"Nothing, do you understand?" Saber smiled mysteriously.

"To be honest, I really don't understand." Ye Zifeng thought about it, picked up the coffee cup and took a sip.

"There is no Eve in EVA's worldview, but Lilith, Adam and Lilith gave birth to a black moon, and from the black moon was born eighteen apostles, the first seventeen ate the fruit of power, which was extremely powerful, and the last one ate the fruit of wisdom, although it also produced an AT force field, but because the power was too weak, it was finally divided into countless individuals."

"The first time I heard of it, I didn't expect you to know a lot about this." Ye Zifeng came to be interested.

"I just stumbled upon religious materials when I was looking them up." Saber waved his hand and continued, "The eighteenth apostle is a human, and although the human AT force field is not strong, it still exists. The official explanation is that the AT force field is called a mental barrier, and it is because of this thing that people cannot fully understand each other, and it alienates the distance between people. ”

"Well, it's true, it doesn't sound like it's an anime setting, it's a bit religious." Ye Zifeng nodded thoughtfully. "But with all that said, what do you want to express?"

"I just want to tell you that no one can be trusted, except for yourself, you have to keep a certain distance from everyone else, which is beneficial to you." Saber suddenly became serious, the smile on his face disappeared, and a slight halo appeared behind him, looking like a pious preacher.

"You look so handsome right now." Ye Zifeng stepped back a little, "How about such a distance?" ”

"Perfect." Saber gave a thumbs up.

"Alright, let's stop the game." Ye Zifeng smiled, "If you don't have anything else, I'll leave." ”

"Well, if you don't have anything to deal with, I suggest you go to the Hilton Hotel first to have a look at the situation there, which should be beneficial for sniping later." Saber suggested, and Ye Zifeng had already stood up from the sofa.

"I'll try." Ye Zifeng left Saber's office.

"Good luck." Saber smiled slightly, picked up his coffee cup and drank the coffee in the cup.

The scorching sun sprinkled down from the sky, obviously it was only June, the weather was already hot, although the previous few days were greater than the temperature was lowered, but after a few days of the sun's scorching, the temperature rose rapidly. There are very few pedestrians on the streets, and few people are willing to waste their precious rest days on the street at noon in such a hot day, and I am the best choice to watch a movie at home with the air conditioner, and only people like Ye Zifeng who have a special mission can brave the scorching sun and walk in the sun with a hood. Otherwise, there is a power outage at home.

The headquarters of the Defense Department was some distance from the Hilton Hotel, and Ye Zifeng stopped a taxi on the side of the road and headed towards the Hilton Hotel. The driver could see that he was a thrifty person, the air conditioners were all out of service, the windows were open without hesitation, the whining wind sounded in Ye Zifeng's ears, and the flowing air blew Ye Zifeng's long hair back.

"Here, to be honest, it's really no good, now the economy is in a depression, and the country's policies in the past few years have allowed us to survive, but now, hey~" The driver kept complaining to Ye Zifeng about the current situation of the society, and Ye Zifeng also responded a few times, humming ha, obviously perfunctory.

"But speaking of which, something big happened at the Hilton Hotel a few days ago, and no one wants to go to the Hilton Hotel now." I don't know how to turn around, and the topic unconsciously turned to the Hilton Hotel. The driver pressed the brakes lightly, and the taxi slowly stopped at a red-light intersection. Picking up a towel from the side and wiping his sweaty face, the driver waved the towel and fanned it, muttering whispers such as "What the hell is this weather?"

But the topic of the driver's master caught Ye Zifeng's attention.

"Master, what's going on at the Hilton Hotel?" Ye Zifeng retracted his gaze and asked.

"It's not a big deal, the lights were on in all the rooms of the Hilton the other day for two hours. No one knows what the reason is. The driver thought for a while and replied, "It sounds a little scary, but no one talks about it at the time, and newspapers and television are only small sections or a passing mention, and some big newspapers and TV stations don't even mention it." ”

"Could it be a wiring problem?" Ye Zifeng guessed.

"No, it won't." The driver's answer was neat, which made Ye Zifeng stunned for a moment.

"Why not?"

"One of my classmates was staying in a hotel at the time, and he said that he was in his room when the lights were on, and he heard a knocking sound downstairs."

As soon as the words fell, the green light turned on, the driver skillfully put the car in gear, and the taxi rushed out of the stop line and turned towards the left side of the intersection.

"Knock?" Ye Zifeng repeated it in a whisper, but he didn't think it had anything to do with this mission, but it was necessary to pay attention to it.

"Here it is." The car turned right and heard the door of the Hilton Hotel, and immediately the receptionist came up and took Ye Zifeng's luggage.

"Just help me carry it to the front desk." After Ye Zifeng instructed for a while, he took out the electronic coin card from his wallet and handed it to the driver, who pasted it one by one, and with a drip, the money was transferred.

"That's it, thank you for your patronage." The driver waited until Ye Zifeng got out of the car and waved goodbye to Ye Zifeng, the taxi started, and drove away. Ye Zifeng did not linger in the square under the scorching sun, and immediately walked into the lobby of the Hilton Hotel. As soon as the automatic door opened and closed, the cold air rushed to his face, Ye Zifeng immediately shivered, and then his whole body was shrouded in comfort.

There was a black travel bag placed at the front desk, Ye Zifeng walked towards the front desk, straddled the travel bag over his shoulder, and pulled out the ID card in the wallet.

"Hello and welcome to the Hilton." The receptionist at the front desk got up and said hello to Ye Zifeng, "Is there anything I can do to help you?" ”

"Open a room, the top floor." Ye Zifeng looked at the information on the ID card and handed the ID card to the receptionist.

"Please wait." The tininess on the receptionist's face did not subside, and he took Ye Zifeng's ID card and entered the information on it into the computer.

"Mr. Hangul?" The receptionist looked up at a leaf maple.

"Yes." Ye Zifeng nodded. This is a ******** that Saber did for Ye Zifeng, but it was also this ID card that helped Ye Zifeng a lot.

"It's done." The receptionist handed the ID card back to Ye Zifeng, "This is your room card, and please pay a deposit of two hundred yuan." ”

Ye Zifeng put away his ID card, handed the coin card to the receptionist, and after paying, Ye Zifeng took the elevator directly to the room on the top floor.

"4003, it should be here." Ye Zifeng swiped the door stuck in the card slot, and with a drip, the red indicator light turned green, the door lock clicked open, and Ye Zifeng pushed the door in.

"It's a five-star hotel." Ye Zifeng exclaimed. After entering the room, the door closed automatically, Ye Zifeng changed into slippers, walked into the room, put the travel bag next to the bed, and Ye Zifeng opened the curtains of the floor-to-ceiling window. The scenery of Shanghai is unobstructed, the view is good, and Ye Zifeng nodded with satisfaction.

took out a miniature intercom in the shape of a Bluetooth headset from his travel bag, Ye Zifeng brought it to his ear, clicked the switch, and there was a rustling white noise in the headset, and then the call channel was clean.

"Can you hear me, I'm Ye Zifeng."

"The sound is clear, the equipment is really good, and the call channel is very clean." Xia Lu sat in the villa in the eastern suburbs, looked at the screen on the console, and talked to Ye Zifeng, "Put on your glasses and let me look around you." ”

"Oh." Ye Zifeng nodded, took out a glasses case from his travel bag, and took out the gold-rimmed eyes from it and brought them to his eyes.

"It's a flat mirror, and there's an indication system that gives you information about the target, and as soon as the target is in view, the glasses will mark it out." Xia Lu explained to Ye Zifeng while connecting the miniature camera on her eyes.

"Sounds pretty high-tech." Ye Zifeng straightened his eyes, "But I feel a little awkward." ”

"It's good to get used to it. Well, the connection is successful. Xia Lu snapped her fingers, "Wow, you are so luxurious there, do you have air conditioning?" ”

"Yes." Ye Zifeng looked for it, found the switch of the air conditioner on the bedside table, and turned on the air conditioner with a dripping sound.

"I really want to go over." Xia Lu said with envy on her face, "Forget it, if you are blessed, let you enjoy it first." ”

Xia Lu snorted twice, and could hear some envy, jealousy and hatred in her tone.

"Otherwise, you'd better come here." Ye Zifeng wiped the sweat on his forehead, it was obviously very cool, but Ye Zifeng still felt a little hot. The air conditioner was turned down another degree.

"Whew~" Ye Zifeng let out a sigh of relief, sat on the big bed, grabbed the remote control, and turned on the TV. There was a boring TV series playing on the TV, and Ye Zifeng changed the channel. The live broadcaster was sitting behind the live broadcast station, with the manuscript in front of him, and was talking about some news, Ye Zifeng looked at the title below.

"The former joint defense circle of the headquarters of the 101st Airborne Division of the United States was destroyed, killing more than 2,000 rebels."

"It's news like this again, and it's not peaceful on the ground right now." Ye Zifeng frowned.

"Don't worry, that's fake news."

The door opened suddenly, and a voice rang out suddenly. Ye Zifeng instantly became alert, and quickly lifted the travel bag next to the bed with both hands.

"Don't be nervous, it's your own people." The figure at the door closed the door, changed into slippers and walked over, "My name is Alice, you must have heard of me." ”

Ye Zifeng looked at the girl who came from the entrance, she looked like she was only fifteen or sixteen years old, carrying a black suitcase that was taller than herself, a light gray long-sleeved casual suit, wearing a pair of jogging shoes on her feet when she came, a long ponytail tied behind her, and a big travel bag on her shoulder.

Alice stood in front of Ye Zifeng, and also began to look at this "external" member of the Admiralty who was also not very old.

"We're partners from now on, but be careful not to give me a chance, I won't miss out." Alice tossed her duffel bag aside and took off the suitcase behind her.

"Last time Operizi. Professor Guderian was sniped by you? Ye Zifeng moved to the side, and Alice sat directly beside Ye Zifeng.

"Well, yes, that's me." Alice looked very proud and puffed up her chest at Ye Zifeng.

"Where did you shoot it?"

"The sniper scope shows that it should be 2.3 kilometers away." Alice thought for a moment.

"2.3 km." Ye Zifeng's eyes widened. Ye Zifeng didn't believe it a little, but this was the case, the girl in front of her used a sniper rifle with the longest range in the world to shoot 2.3 kilometers away, sniping a traitor from the Admiralty.

Ye Zifeng didn't find any topic for a while, turned his head to look at the TV, and then Ye Zifeng spoke again.
