Chapter 17: The Secret Dead (I)
The helicopter has been flying, and at its speed it should be out of the city.
As for the communication between Chen Zhong and me, I don't know if the people on the helicopter noticed it? However, I can be sure that they don't care, at least the four soldiers-like people sitting in the cabin saw me and Chen Zhong whispering, but they didn't even have the intention of coming forward to ask.
For Chen Chong, what I ask is very simple, that is, to know the situation of Lao Zhou and the clues of the Huo Nie family.
But Chen Chong hesitated for a moment and then asked me a strange question: "Ye Zhengling, with my understanding of you, if someone asks you to hand me over, you won't agree, right?" ”
Yes, although I am very entangled in how to deal with Chen Chong, I will never let him fall into the hands of others, unless it is someone or a force that I trust very much, but I have experienced so much in this world, how many people can I trust? As for the forces of trust, Wangxian Village must be counted as one, if it is Chen Chengyi's Snow Mountain lineage
But that's impossible, so I gave an affirmative answer to Chen Chong's question.
"Well, I only have one request. If the helicopter stops, no matter where I'm taken, someone comes and asks for someone, you hand me over. Moreover, you have to promise that you will not be able to talk about it for a year. This condition cannot be compromised. ”
I glanced at Chen Chong, his request was indeed weird, and I needed to think about it.
However, there are some things that cannot be thought about, and once you think about it, I feel a little terrible, Chen Chong said this, which can only show that there are traitors among the human race, and I must keep my mouth shut, and I can't say this matter.
This shows that the status of the traitor is not low, and even important.
Seeing my expression, Chen Zhong also guessed that I might have noticed the crux of the matter, and he said in my ear: "If I don't say it, you can't know that there is a traitor." Actually, these have nothing to do with you for the time being, not even with the demon hunter circle. It's not you who should have a headache for the time being, what do you think? ”
I rubbed my face, I already had a plan in my heart, and said directly: "Then you can tell me, the whereabouts of Lao Zhou, and the clues of those people who escaped from the Huo Nie family." But you remember, if Lao Zhou really died, I wouldn't forgive you. ”
At the end, my voice was a little shaky, and I was very worried.
"Lao Zhou naturally didn't die, in order to be foolproof, I locked him up in a place in City C that you will never find." Chen Zhong said to me.
"Where exactly?" I asked in a deep voice.
"XX Street, Building 7 of XX Community, Room No. 1407." Chen Zhong gave me an address in my ear.
I looked at Chen Chong, and I never dreamed that Chen Chong actually hid Lao Zhou in a private house, he used to be the most unscrupulous one among us, but now he has so many plans, hiding in this kind of private house, who wants to find Lao Zhou is like looking for a needle in a haystack, right? And he also quietly hid this hole card as his own personal hole card, a hole card for the organization's meritorious service.
"You're so nice!" I popped out this sentence between my teeth, and then asked, "How is Lao Zhou's injury?" It's absolutely impossible for you to hide him there, someone will definitely guard it, right? ”
"Naturally, there are my henchmen on guard, but as soon as the helicopter stops, you can borrow a phone from me to make a call, and I will let my people go immediately. As for Lao Zhou's condition, it is not bad, he has been injured for a hundred days, and I hit it a little heavier that time, and he can only lie on the bed now. Chen Chong didn't mean to hide it.
I glanced at Chen Zhong angrily, and suddenly said, "Fortunately, I also beat you up a lot." ”
"Ye Zhengling, you" Chen Chong was provoked by my words, and finally couldn't hold back his anger and yelled at me, but unfortunately he couldn't move his limbs, so he could only look at me angrily.
But I grabbed him by the collar and said to him word by word: "This is how it should be, we are no longer brothers, and we are the kind of enemies who will never die in the future, you should know better than me!" Don't be verbose, tell me the clues of the Huo Nie family quickly. As for letting you go, I'll do it. But the premise is that I must receive Zhou Zheng before I agree to this request. ”
"Why should I trust you?" Chen Zhong was obviously not satisfied with my answer.
"Because you don't have a choice." I didn't mean to let go in the slightest.
Chen Zhong stared at me for a while, then turned his face helplessly, and after a long while, he whispered in my ear again: "As for those who escaped from the Huo Nie family, I don't know where they went. All I can say is that what I'm going to tell you next is true, and as for whether you believe it or not, there's nothing I can do. ”
I stared at him and didn't speak.
But Chen Chong was serious, and only said a short paragraph to me: "Our attack on the Huo Nie family that day was resolute, so naturally someone came out to delay the time. But there were no cultivators among those people, and they couldn't delay much time. Moreover, we monitor the perimeter of the building closely, and I am not exaggerating to say that we can detect a fly flying by. ”
I was a little excited in my heart, but I deliberately made a weird expression on my face, and said coldly, "Let's get to the point." ”
"The point is that those people are gone." Chen Zhong simply answered me.
"You're kidding." There was anger in my eyes, but thoughtfulness in my heart.
"All I know is that no one saw them run out of the building, and the building's surveillance couldn't find them out of any corners, and the final picture was just coming out of the Huo Nie family's headquarters and escaping through the safety exit. Naturally, I searched the entire building, after all, there were hundreds of living people! It's a pity that nothing was found, in a word, they just disappeared. Chen Zhong didn't mean to be weak at all, but was a little emotional.
I frowned, at a loss.
However, in my heart, I turned around a thousand times, and probably guessed a little clue, should I really hide underground? It's not completely impossible, thinking of Tina's attention to the underground building, thinking of the house in the ring where I was before, the complex formation, it seems that I have to go back to the building of the Huo Nie family again, as for how to get underground, I know the way.
Before, I also had the determination to explore the underground, but that was speculation, I didn't dare to expose the underground easily, not to mention that this hope is not great, I can't imagine that Tina and they have time to escape underground, but now according to Chen Chong, this has become the only possibility.
This was the end of my conversation with Chen Chong, and we were all silent as the helicopter continued to fly.
It wasn't until 20 minutes later that Chen Chong touched me again and asked, "Ye Zhengling, I have done everything you asked." So what about the things I asked for? ”
"Your second reply is ridiculous, I can only answer you, I will at least receive Lao Zhou before I give you an answer." I didn't dare to expose the basement thing, so I could only say it on purpose.
Chen Zhong sneered and said, "Ye Zhengling, are you afraid that you don't even want credit?" You should know that I am not lying, and if I did, I would not have made up such a ridiculous thing to lie to you. If you admit that you are afraid, afraid that I will grow up, you can say it directly. ”
Actually, I was planning to let go of Chen Zhong in my heart, and I originally needed a reason to release my entanglement.
His words gave me a reason to borrow a slope to get off the donkey, I pretended to be angry, and finally agreed angrily, the premise is still to receive Lao Zhou.
At that moment, the helicopter had already flown into the dark suburbs, flew over the plains of the suburbs, and the continuous hills began to appear, and I looked at the darkness, but said to myself in my heart, this time, even if it is wrong, let me bear the consequences! was so willful once, and at that time he repaid the feelings that had been tied up for more than 20 years.
After getting my affirmation, Chen Chong stopped talking nonsense, he knew that I promised and would not regret it, and at this time, another ten minutes passed, and the helicopter began to fall slowly, and below was a dark mountain range with no lights at all.
It wasn't until the helicopter was about to approach that some lights appeared on a small but flat tarmac.
"When you arrive, don't you want to come down?" Darren was a very enthusiastic person, and as soon as the helicopter stopped, he was busy greeting me, and he seemed very curious and inquisitive about me.
"Wait a minute, I'll help him down." That's just what I said.
And after everyone got off the plane, I took out the phone and asked Chen Chong to call the phone he had promised before, and then I carried Chen Chong on my back and jumped off the helicopter.
This is a barren mountain, except for a lonely tarmac, I can't even see any buildings, Darren came over to me enthusiastically again and said: "Secrets will not be placed on the ground, Ye Zhengling, I guarantee that you will be surprised by everything here." ”
His expression was exaggerated, and the rest of the people had already walked silently ahead, following a path that was not obvious, and ran into the mountains.
I don't know who heard Darren's remarks, and couldn't help but laugh a few times, and then a male voice came: "Darren, what you want to say should be a secret that won't be put on the surface, right?" ”
"Oh, that's what I meant. You can't laugh at me for that. Darren strode after him, not forgetting to signal me to follow.
I was a little hesitant to carry Chen Chong on my back, if this place was really a secret, should I take Chen Chong to go?
But he didn't want Chen Chong to sneer and said, "It should be them, their existence is not a secret." You don't have to hesitate, it won't be long before the person who picks me up will come, tomorrow at most! ”
"Looks like you know more than I do." Hearing Chen Zhong say this, I really didn't hesitate anymore, carried him on my back, and kept up with the footsteps of that group of people.
"It doesn't matter, you're Nie Yan now, and you'll know a lot soon. In fact, since I was very young, I have been," Chen Zhong said suddenly.
My body stiffened involuntarily, and of course the memories of the past are precious, could it be that Chen Zheng told me that it was fake?
But Chen Zhong quickly revealed this topic, and just said lightly: "Dr. Qin's posture, is it finally fruitful?" ”
