Chapter 4: Mortal Illness (IV) 1
When Ye Zifeng woke up the next day, it was already morning, and the sky was cloudy and white, and it seemed that the sun had not yet shown its face from the other side of the mountain. ≧ top novel,.. The woods outside the glass window of the porch were foggy, and it looked a little quiet. The three people on the side hadn't woken up yet, Ye Zifeng looked at the clock hanging on the wall, it was just past five o'clock in the morning. No wonder, after soaking in the hot springs last night, everyone went to the small bar in the hot spring hotel and sat until 12 o'clock in the middle of the night, after which a group of people staggered back to their rooms to sleep. Everyone drank wine, Ye Zifeng was no exception, although he was not interested in wine, but everyone drank it, Ye Zifeng was embarrassed to refuse, and tried the awamori shochu produced in the Ryukyu Islands a little, Ye Zifeng immediately felt like his throat was on fire, this transparent drink with 25% alcohol made Ye Zifeng dare not use it, just drank a small dish and refused to drink. Although it is said that the distilled Awamori Shochu is not easy to get started, Ye Zifeng still returned to the room with a slight drunkenness.
But Ye Zifeng was the first to wake up the next morning, probably because he drank less, Ye Zifeng did not have a hangover headache, although his spirit was a little trance, but people who woke up were not like this.
Crawled out of the quilt, swayed to the porch, closed the door after Ye Zifeng opened the glass door, the cold air in the early morning blew into the porch, sweeping away the heat accumulated overnight, caressing Ye Zifeng's face like refreshing nectar. Ye Zifeng took a deep breath, the air on the mountain is indeed very good, although this is a mountain made of artificial earth and rocks, it is still much better than the city.
Ye Zifeng made it to the wooden floor, his feet swinging outside the porch, enjoying the hard-won tranquility of the early morning. The sliding door of the side room opened softly, and a figure walked out. Ye Zifeng turned his head to look. Xia Lu tiptoed to close the sliding door without making a sound. When Xia Lu turned around, Ye Zifeng, who suddenly appeared, was obviously startled, and immediately screamed, and then quickly covered her mouth.
"It's really early." Ye Zifeng moved to the side and motioned for Xia Lu to sit beside him.
Xia Lu dressed up in pale pink pajamas. A little shyly, he did it beside Ye Zifeng.
"It's a nice morning, and there's always a sense of prosperity when things are coming back." Ye Zifeng looked up at the jungle and sighed, "I can feel the breath of waking up." ”
Xia Lu looked at Ye Zifeng with some puzzlement, and did not speak.
"There are still tasks to be completed today, so now have a good rest." Ye Zifeng looked at Xia Lu and said, "You drank a lot of wine yesterday, is there no problem?" ”
"It doesn't matter, it's all distilled spirits. Headache though. Xia Lu shook her head, and then blushed, "Are you a girl who hates drinking?" ”
"I don't think it's anything." Ye Zifeng looked at the misty forest with an indifferent expression, "I won't stop what you are willing to do, unless it endangers your own life." ”
"Really?" Xia Lu was a little excited, the flush on her face became more and more red, and her body rubbed towards Ye Zifeng, her face full of relief. "I like you the most."
The sound was like a mosquito's chirp, and Ye Zifeng didn't hear it clearly.
"What did you say?"
"Nothing." Xia Lu turned her head and smiled sweetly. "You sit down for a while, I'll go wash up, and I'll see you for breakfast." Xia Lu propped her hands on the ground and stood up backwards, and then ran back to her room. Ye Zifeng smiled helplessly, and continued to sit on the wooden floor of the porch, looking at the secluded jungle. A few hundred meters down the hill is a hydrostatic reactor. The mountain may be a cover for the hydrostatic reactor, and the hundreds of meters high peaks do not know that thousands of tons and tens of thousands of tons of earth and rock are used, and even the most advanced ground-penetrating bombs of the US military may not be able to blow up this mountain.
After sobering up, Ye Zifeng took a deep breath and exhaled the turbid air in his lungs. With the anxiety and uneasiness in his heart, Ye Zifeng felt much better, got up from the ground, and returned to the room. Jim and Sora Saionji are still sleeping. Saionji Sokan can feel relieved and relieved that he has found a new purpose, Jim was a little too stressed yesterday and really needs to rest. Nicholas folded the futon and put it back in the closet, and turned his head to see Ye Zifeng coming back from outside.
"Good morning, sir." Nicholas greeted Ye Zifeng, "You woke up so early." ”
"So are you." Ye Zifeng smiled slightly, "How do you feel, yesterday's incident." ”
Ye Zifeng was still a little worried, pretending to be someone else and finally revealing his stuff would leave a lot of pressure in his heart, although Nicholas didn't look like anything, but Ye Zifeng was still a little worried. There are only seven people in his team, and he needs everyone to be in the best mental state.
"I'm fine." Nicholas shook his head, "I didn't impersonate anyone, and I used all the expertise I learned, so I didn't feel pressured." ”
Nicholas's answer was pertinent, without a hint of falsification. This is also Nicholas's personality, Ye Zifeng feels that Nicholas can't lie, and the level of joking is also very low, but this just reflects the integrity and clear conscience in Nicholas's heart. The fleet needs such a pilot, and a good attitude and daring style are the weapons that are sure to win the battle. Ye Zifeng felt from the heart, it was good that Jim and Nicholas survived.
"It's okay, there's still a task today but an auxiliary." Ye Zifeng patted Nicholas on the shoulder, "Prepare to prepare, we have to go home first." ”
"Yes, sir." Nicholas nodded.
Ye Zifeng walked out of the room. After returning the deposit and room card at the front desk, Ye Zifeng sat in the hall drinking canned Coke bought from the vending machine and watching the morning news on the TV. The news is nothing more than broadcasting things like the increasing resistance and the increase of troops, but what surprised Ye Zifeng was that all the TV stations did not mention the battle that happened yesterday in the restaurant on the 22nd floor of Building A of the "Freya" Hotel. Even the defending forces were belated. Ye Zifeng snorted softly, and already had the answer in his heart. After drinking the cola in his hand, Ye Zifeng returned to the room, drinking free matcha while reading the newspaper provided for free. Once the information is confirmed, there is really no report on yesterday's events here, and the answer is already clear. The only one who can suppress such a big thing and not report it is the federal government, and the Ministry of Defense does have this ability, and it seems that Ebola is also a team sent by the Ministry of Defense.
Ye Zifeng thought of the Northern Mercenary Alliance, which had been divided, and Ye Zifeng suddenly sensed something. Even if it has been divided, it is impossible for the strength to infiltrate the Hanging City with such a strong defense, and since it has penetrated, there is only one possibility. It was the Ministry of Defense that deliberately put Ebola in. If Ye Zifeng didn't guess wrong, the culprit that made the Northern Mercenary Group split was the Defense Department, and it might even be a secret order directly issued by the Earth Federation.
Thinking of this, Ye Zifeng's heart sank, it seemed that he had been discovered by the Ministry of Defense, but why didn't he stop himself? It was easy to come to the Hanging City Defense Department to know about it. What's more, they already knew, but why didn't they send heavy troops to encircle and suppress themselves, but used assassinations in the form of squads? Do you want to cause public opinion? Or does the Ministry of Defense not have the ability to send heavy troops? This is impossible, the defense department has tens of thousands of defense troops in the Hanging City, and sending a few hundred people is enough to take down itself. Could it be ...... Thinking wrong? It's also impossible, all your reasoning can be restored. In other words, there should be factors in this that they don't see, and there are people looking at the Defense Department while the Defense Department is looking at itself. Could it be Feng Fengxiang? It shouldn't be possible, Feng Fengxiang doesn't handle things on the ground. That's Saber? BER is in the Ministry of Defense, and he does not contain the strength of the Ministry of Defense. Who would that be?
Ye Zifeng couldn't think of an answer. Simply give up, now is not the time to think about this matter, Ye Zifeng has more important things to complete.
At seven o'clock in the morning, Ye Zifeng and his party left the hot spring hotel on time, although Alice was slightly dissatisfied with leaving so early, but looked at Ye Zifeng's thoughtful expression and didn't say anything. After silently packing up his belongings, he got into the business bread.
The crowd did not eat breakfast at the hot spring inn, mainly because it did not provide free breakfast. Sora Saionji suggested that everyone have breakfast in the city of Daocheng, and he knew that there was a good breakfast restaurant.
Ye Zifeng thought that the breakfast restaurant mentioned by Xiyuan Sikong was referring to the breakfast service provided by the fast food restaurant of the small storefront, but he really didn't expect that Xiyuan Sikong would drive everyone to the bustling business district. A five-storey shopping complex has opened its doors, and although not all the shops inside are open, some restaurants are already lit up. Turning left and right, Saionji stopped in front of a high-end-looking restaurant, and the waiter at the door bowed respectfully to everyone one hundred and twenty degrees, and at the same time led the way to lead everyone in.
Xiyuan Temple ordered a private room and ordered a 200 yuan set meal, which was enough for eight people to eat breakfast. Ye Zifeng has never heard of a breakfast of two hundred yuan, although it is a little incredible, but after thinking about it, this is the "world tree", with the world's most high-end top stores, the things here are naturally not cheap, maybe a bottle of mineral water will be sold for seven yuan, although I don't know if there will be inflation when so many rich people gather here, but there is no doubt that this is the best. Xiyuan Temple did not deceive people, and after the meal was served, Ye Zifeng couldn't help nodding.
"This one looks delicious." Alice's fingers kept beating, showing that she had seen a beautiful woman's pervert, and she drooled as she looked at the table full of meals, "Can I eat?" ”
"You feel free." Ye Zifeng shrugged his shoulders indifferently, "We're just here to eat." ”
After speaking, Ye Zifeng took an egg yolk bun from the plate, put it in his mouth and took a bite gently. The moist taste of the face was already faintly milky, and the fragrance instantly filled his mouth, and Ye Zifeng suddenly felt that the two hundred yuan was not in vain.
"Well, it's delicious." Ye Zifeng nodded from the bottom of his heart.
"This is the head office of the largest chain restaurant in this Hanging City, and the store is also very large, and I heard that the total assets of this chain industry group are hundreds of millions." Xiyuan Temple nodded emptyly, chewing a barbecued pork bun in his mouth, "And this is the property of the Welsh family." ”
"Wales? Is it the one I pretended to be yesterday? Jim took a sip of the lemon drink and suddenly thought of this, "Is his family rich?" ”
"How can I say that it is also a family that has been inherited for nearly a century, and the industry is naturally very large, otherwise how can I afford to support such a large family?" Alice answered. Everyone, you and I will say a word. This breakfast really doesn't get boring. Ye Zifeng looked at the people chatting happily at the table with great satisfaction, chewing the second egg yolk bun in his mouth.
"We also have a mission today." Ye Zifeng coughed lightly, motioned for everyone to be quiet, and then continued, "Blake, the head of defense and commander-in-chief of the Earth Federation Governor's Mansion. That's what we're going to meet today. ”
"Who is the envoy playing this time? Is he a friend? Alice immediately interjected and fell asleep, and Nicholas on the side impatiently slapped Alice on the top of her head with a knife, and Alice covered the top of her head with a sigh and stopped talking.
"We don't need to imitate anyone in this meeting, as long as we find out his habits, we can start. This is information I got from one person. Ye Zifeng said that the watch was put on the dining table, and the three-dimensional projection was magnified and enlarged, "At ten o'clock this evening, the Lamborghini Casino in the commercial area, our target will appear there." ”
"Is this news accurate?" Nicholas asked, looking at the screen.
"Basically believable." Ye Zifeng nodded, "As for the action plan." Saionji Sora is still in charge of evacuation. ”
"Yes, sir." Saionji put down the chopsticks in his hand and nodded.
"Jim and Nicholas followed me into the casino and approached Black." Ye Zifeng looked at Jim and Nicholas. Both nodded at the same time.
"Alice followed the Sora of Saionji, ready to be a backup in the retreat."
Hearing Ye Zifeng's words, Alice Yile had a sad face.
"I also want to participate in the action, can I change my line with Sister Guan?" Alice said as if pleading, and Nicholas slashed Alice on the top of the head with a knife like lightning, but Alice didn't swallow her breath this time.
"It won't grow any longer. You're addicted, aren't you? ”
"Just wanted you to pause for a moment." Nicholas shrugged his shoulders as if nothing was his business.
"Okay." Surprisingly. Ye Zifeng did not object, "As long as Guan Yi agrees, I have no problem." ”
"I'll do whatever I want." Guan Yi immediately stated that she always felt that the two were colluding.
"Then I won't say anything, this is the task of the two of you." Ye Zifeng threw the watch to Alice and Xia Lu, and the screen turned to a new page.
"Ugh. What is this......" Alice's face sank, looking a little surprised. Xia Lu looked at Ye Zifeng with a slightly red face.
"Are you sure you didn't make a page mistake?" Alice asked immediately.
"No, I thought about it, and this is the only one that is best suited to approach Black." Ye Zifeng spread his hands, "Don't worry." We'll protect you, and this one for you. ”
Ye Zifeng raised his hand and threw a small glass test tube over.
"Admiralty technology, Feng Fengxiang specially handed it to me before I came, saying that I can use it." Ye Zifeng leaned on the back of the seat, "You don't have to pour it all into the drink, just one drop, too much, I'm afraid there will be side effects." ”
"Oh." Xia Lu nodded, this thing Xia Lu used, a potion blended from a special compound, allowing people to say the answer to their other party's questions before losing consciousness, and the Admiralty also called this "truth or dare potion".
"Let's work hard when the mission is clear, today is the second day of the mission operation, and we still have a long way to go." Ye Zifeng looked around at everyone present, "It is indispensable to pave the way for the final success, everyone, come on." ”
"Oh!" Alice cheered. Xia Lu looked at Ye Zifeng with a smile, her eyes full of trust.
About a day ago, the Hanging City "World Tree", the location is unknown, and the time is unknown.
"Yes, I really didn't expect that all three of them would be defeated?" In the dim and empty room, the two-meter-high floor-to-ceiling windows are not enough to illuminate this huge space, almost the entire floor of the office is covered with bright red carpet that looks like blood soaked out, surrounded by a circle of floor-to-ceiling windows with white light, in addition to the elevator, there are only sixteen indispensable load-bearing columns, a desk is placed by the window, and a person stands in front of the window and looks at the clouds floating from under his feet. Behind him stood a man, bowing at a ninety-degree angle, with an extremely nervous expression on his face, and bean-sized drops of sweat dripping from his face, disappearing into the stall in an instant.
"According to the information received, this is indeed the case." The bowed man's Adam's apple slid up and down with a grunt. He didn't want to anger the person in front of the window, and the consequence of anger might be that he completely disappeared into this world without knowing why, leaving no trace at all. It's terrible to think about, the fear in his heart made him get rid of the fatigue on the **, compared to disappearing, the muscle soreness caused by the ninety-degree bow is nothing at all.
"Straighten up, you look like a Japanese begging someone else to do something." The figure in front of the window turned his head and looked into the office. But even if he said that, the person who bowed would not dare to stand up straight, and would go crazy if he looked into the other's eyes.
"There has to be some remedy, and if we don't meet the conditions within the allotted time, we'll all be doomed." The person in front of the window walked out, and to people's surprise, the other party seemed to be a young man, who on the surface only looked to be seventeen or eighteen years old, and had no beard on his clean face. There was always a strange smile on Qingxiu's face, and the young man's bright red lips were buzzing, and he whispered to the bowing man, "So I won't kill you until you're done, you can rest assured." ”
