Chapter 145: Hidden Treasure
The plane did not land, but only reduced its speed and flew at low altitude.
The lightning unscrewed a flare, and orange-red smoke rose up to stand out in the rain and fog. Immediately afterwards, Wang Cheng unscrewed a green signal flare ten meters away from the lightning.
After discovering the predetermined signal, the plane threw down the soft ladder, but it had no intention of landing.
Although the terrain at this meeting point is flat, the pilot is still afraid of any shrubs, branches, and rocks hanging on the soft ladder hook, which will cause the plane to crash, so the plane flies higher, and the tail end of the ladder is still three or four meters above the ground. But this had no effect on Wang Cheng and Lightning, they each jumped up from the grass and shot a "climbing bullet" in the direction of the soft ladder, Lightning's climbing bullet did not hit the target, Wang Cheng's climbing bullet warhead passed through the gap in the ladder, "bang", the bullet opened, and the five metal claws opened and grabbed the crossbar of the ladder.
The soft ladder drove Wang Cheng's body upward, and the lightning quickly rushed towards Wang Cheng, Wang Cheng pressed the belt, the belt made a muffled sound, and a rope popped out, and the rope hung down, and the lightning in the running grabbed the hanging rope and circled around the arm a few times at will, and then the plane quickly pulled up and took the two off the ground...... After climbing into the cabin, both of them were soaking wet, and Lightning untied the ropes on his body and beckoned, "How are you going to go?" β
Wang Cheng replied: "I agreed on a submarine, this plane will take us through Kenya and Tanzania, and then throw us on the sea, do you plan to go with me?" β
Lightning shook his head: "I parachuted when I got to Tanzania, we should go our separate ways." β
Wang Cheng shrugged: "Whatever you want." β
Lightning glanced at Wang Cheng and reminded: "Actually, I think you should go with me, there was such a violent forest explosion, not long after the explosion, this plane flew over the explosion area, although it flew at a low altitude, but its appearance could not hide satellite monitoring, so we should get out of this plane as soon as possible, you know this, why do you have to fly over the whole of Tanzania with it?" β
Wang Cheng replied meaningfully: "People die for money, and birds die for food." β
Lightning couldn't understand this sentence, but their group of people were extremely self-conscious people, and no one could force others to act according to their own wishes, and Lightning didn't want to "represent" Wang Cheng, so when the plane entered Tanzania, Lightning did not hesitate to parachute and land, he planned to find a plane in Tanzania and leave the African continent quickly. Wang Cheng continued to stay in the plane and went all the way, and only after arriving in the sea near Tanzania did he start parachuting and landing.
At this time, people with a heart have already set their eyes on this strange plane that has passed through the accident area and crossed the entire African continent...... Wang Cheng was greeted on the sea by a submarine chef who had taught him cooking. He was sitting on the deck of a small pocket submarine fishing, Wang Cheng's lifeboat came up, and he got up to greet him warmly: "Left hand, it's a pleasure to meet you, this is my last service, and I'm really glad that you will accompany me on my last journey." β
Wang Cheng couldn't help but ask: "Oh, where do you plan to settle after retiring?" β
This question is obviously beyond the scope of friendship with each other, and most of the retired people don't want to have horizontal contact with the company again, so the submarine chef hesitated for a long time and asked cautiously: "What do you mean?" β
Wang Cheng smiled and got into the submarine with the cook, and he replied while letting the submarine dive: "My own safe house has not been set up yet, haha, I haven't even chosen the location of the safe house yet." You're watching me join the company, and I think you might need someone to keep you company when you retire...... Rest assured, I will never reach out to you during my service so as not to expose you. β
The submarine chef breathed a sigh of relief, he looked at Wang Cheng and thought quickly, Wang Cheng was not in a hurry to ask for an answer, he pointed to the sea water above his head while diving the submarine: "Three hundred meters of sea water, no matter what listening device, can't penetrate the sea at such a depth." β
The submarine chef shook his head: "I'm not afraid of company surveillance, I'm considering your proposal." Aha, I really don't know what kind of friendship Krosu has with you, she actually met your strange request, you know, leaving the scene of the crime by submarine, this way of evacuating is slow and time-consuming, and out of the company's sight...... Well, I say an address, you don't record it in any way, just keep it in your mind......"
Wang Cheng quickly wrote down the address that the other party said: "Then you can simply buy two houses, opposite or adjacent to each other, so that in case of any unexpected situation, you can hide in the other house and monitor your own residence...... Of course, this house is usually taken care of by you, and after retirement, I may not use this safe house, this is just a backup retreat. β
After a pause, Wang Cheng teased: "I don't understand, what are you afraid of as a cook?" Are you just a chef on a submarine, a legitimate profession, and need to go into hiding? β
The submarine chef suddenly laughed: "Yes, I'm just an inconspicuous little person, I just want to open a private restaurant after retirement, the faΓ§ade is not big, ten tables are enough - but it is a small person like me, when it is time to be abandoned, no one will hesitate, and more importantly: I see a lot of things that should not be seen, such as your joining, such as the absconding of other people."
I've cooked for a lot of people, and the faces of these people make my existence a danger, so I have to make sure that I completely forget my past work experience after I retire, and I have to prove it to the company......"
Wang Cheng suddenly said: "Oh, that's right, you are the kind of inconspicuous, but very critical person, what the Western proverb says - nails on a horseshoe." For a character like you, the company probably ...... No, not probably, but certainly, I will continue to monitor you until the information you remember is invalidated, and I am afraid that you will not get real freedom...... Oh no, I shouldn't have set up a safe house near your house. β
The submarine chef smiled: "Left hand, the truth is: I'm looking forward to living with you." You're outstanding, you're hardworking, and you're very low-key, and you've been a member of the organization for a year, but the outside world rarely knows about your existence. Soon, your position in the company will become more and more secure, and my retirement will be safer with a big man like you behind me...... You can rest assured that the safe house will be handed over to me, and I will run it properly and will not let anyone know about its existence, including the top of the company...... Oh, but now, can you tell me: where is our destination? β
"Let me take a look at ......", Wang Cheng turned around in the submarine and replied with satisfaction: "Klossu is really smart, I only mentioned it, and she immediately understood what I was going to do...... Remember where I first boarded the submarine you served? β
The submarine chef laughed: "There, it's a no-man's land, and the closest land to it is the bottom of the sea, what are you going to do there?" Nostalgia? Recall? β
Wang Cheng smiled: "I'm not talking about the pick-up point, I'm going to the 'place where it first started' - after coming out of the country, the mercenaries who picked me up at sea took me to a small island...... During this mission, Krosu mentioned to me that the smuggling speedboat had not been salvaged, but the diamonds that had been looted by the mercenaries had been found. At that time, I wondered, behind the smuggling speedboat, there was obviously a gunboat following, and the speedboat that the mercenary was riding was sunk by the gunboat, how could the gunboat crew not remember the location of the shipwreck? Unless ......"
Wang Cheng paused for a moment, looked at the submarine cook, and asked in an affirmative tone: "- Unless that gunboat also sinks." I remember when Poison told me that his submarine was 'always on the spot'. β
The chef shrugged: "I'm just a cook, it's useless for you to ask me about this kind of thing." β
"I know you can't know all the actions on the submarine, but you must know if the submarine has attack weapons?"
The chef touched his lips and replied, "Of course, it is a very important underwater laboratory, and the company will not allow it to roam around unarmed in order to protect its property......"
Wang Cheng followed up and asked: "That is to say: when the mercenaries who received me launched a surprise attack, the submarine was on the scene at that time...... Perhaps, after I took off in the plane, the submarine did something in private, and then went to turn around and chase me, so the submarine arrived several days late and left me adrift at sea for a long time...... So, did the submarine use attack weapons at that time? β
"You can't ask me about this kind of thing, I'm just a cook, and no one on the ship was talking to me at the time."
"You don't have to be afraid: you see, I said that a submarine was needed for evacuation, and Klossu immediately transferred the submarine, and the rest of the crew was evacuated, but you were deliberately left on the boat without knowing how to drive, which is tantamount to acquiescing to you revealing to me the scene - what did you feel at that time?"
The cook swallowed a few mouthfuls of spit and replied: "The submarine...... On the surface there were no weapons, no cannons, no machine guns, but I knew it had at least two torpedo tubes, and it carried six torpedoes with the ship every time it went to sea, and I don't know what happened at the time, I don't know what the situation was like on board, but after that time, when we got back to Puerto Rico, there was one less torpedo on the ship. β
That's right, Krosu insisted: all the diamonds on the smuggling ship have been recovered, but no one knows where the smuggling ship sank. I guess: the gunboat that dealt with the mercenaries was sunk at that time, and the submarine with the original poison wanted to float up and take advantage of the fire to rob, but then something happened, maybe the sea came to reinforce the gunboat, maybe an airplane came...... Anyway, your submarine didn't choose to go afloat, and as a result, the latecomers found the diamond boxes discarded by the mercenaries - I remember, the mercenaries were so busy fleeing that they even shot at the plane I was flying in, and killed my pilot, who were so busy that they didn't even have time to recover the jet skis used in the attack, and the diamond boxes were discarded near the jet skis.
Then, of course, it was the latecomers who found the diamonds, and they recovered them, because the most valuable commodity on board was diamonds, so they disdained to salvage the wreck. But Klossu wanted to salvage, and she hinted at me and provoked my greed - everyone knew that I liked to take sheep, and Klossu succeeded. But I'm not stupid - I'm wondering now: what did Kloss want from that ship, so he went to the trouble of teasing my greed? β
