167.Chapter 167
It may be strange to say that Ben Thanh is not called Ben Thanh, but in fact, the term Ben Thanh only exists outside Ben Thanh, because Ben Thanh locals have always called themselves only "59823 Base", or simply "Base". Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The 59823 base is very large, how big is it? If there is a car that breaks every three hours, it will never be able to get from one end of the base to the other on its own.
The topography of the 59823 base is also a little strange, it is surrounded by mountains on three sides, one side is near the sea, and there is a very large island on the seaward side, which is connected by a long covered bridge, because it was a military base in the past, so this island has no name, and now everyone calls it Long Island, and the bridge is called Long Bridge.
Long Island and the cliffs jutting out into the sea form an excellent deep-water harbor where many fishing boats of all kinds come and go every day. On the other side of the deep-water port, in the bay surrounded by mountains, there are countless large old warships.
Now there are two people standing in one of the warehouse areas on Long Island, and not far in front of them, the helicopter that Ding Chen once saw is parked on the tarmac, and the warehouse personnel are moving the sorting boxes in the cabin to the electric transport vehicle.
Behind these two men, four heavily armed soldiers stood with their guns in their hands with serious expressions, apparently on guard duty.
The two men were a man and a woman, the man wore a white linen shirt with a hem tucked into his civilian pants and a pair of black leather shoes on his feet.
The woman standing with him was in her early thirties, and unlike the man, who had short black hair, the woman's short ear-length hair was light brown and her face was darker, clearly with the characteristics of Western European and American races.
She also wore civilian uniforms, an Air Force style short leather jacket more than a man, and an extra pistol stuck in a holster at her waist.
The woman is holding a tablet in her hand and is speaking fluent Mandarin to the man about the recovered items.
The man did not show impatience because of the triviality of the list, he listened very carefully, and occasionally interjected to confirm his understanding.
It wasn't until he read the whole list that the man said, "So it's indeed Ye Tianlong's caravan?" ”
"I've already compared it with the list sent by District 11." The woman said, "It's almost certain. ”
"And who attacked them?" The man asked.
"I don't know." The woman said, "We're too late. But I have a guess, do you want to hear it? ”
The man was silent for a moment, did not answer the question, and instead asked, "Did you notify District Eleven?" ”
"Informed." The woman's tone was calm and did not fluctuate as the man avoided his questions. "The reply was 'Got it,'" she said. ”
"Got it?" The man was stunned for a moment, frowned and asked, "That's how they answered?" ”
After receiving an affirmative reply, the man said dissatisfiedly: "No offense, but that's why I don't want to deal with women, you are always used to hiding your true opinions. ”
"Good thing you don't need my opinion." The woman said with a straight look.
"yes." The man pretended not to hear the dissatisfaction in her words, nodded and said, "So we don't need to pay for this shipment?" ”
"So far." The woman said blandly, as if it were not worth the excitement of getting such a windfall. She flipped through the tablet in her hand and pulled up a photo, "When the A1 team came back today, they met a scavenger. She handed over the computer, "Do you want to see it?" ”
The man was stunned for a moment, feeling inexplicable, he reached out to take the computer and asked, "Is there anything special about this person?" ”
"He's got a good sense of tactics." "If it weren't for the thermal detector working, they wouldn't have even been able to detect his presence," the woman said. ”
"A veteran waste picker?" The man said, "Interesting. ”
Then he was stunned, looked at the person on the computer and said in surprise, "How old is he?" ”
"Not more than thirty." The woman said, "This is the answer given by the General Staff. They refuse to include the acquired factor because it is an uncontrollable condition. But given the circumstances in which the scavengers live, they usually look much older, so this person should be in his early twenties. ”
"Hell." The man said, "Where did he learn this?" Is this report reliable? ”
"You're questioning the abilities of the A1 squad." The woman said calmly, "Please take back this sentence." ”
"Of course." The man immediately said, "I apologize." Then he looked at Ding Chen's shocked and angry face on the screen, frowned and said, "What is he doing?" ”
"Standard air defense maneuvers." The woman said, "I have inquired carefully about the situation, and no one could have done better. ”
"So he was brought back?" The man asked.
The woman shook her head, "No." She explained, "Team A1 did not have the equipment to capture him, and the staff thought that bringing him back without a kill authorization could result in casualties, so the arrest request was denied and they were allowed to return." ”
The man nodded silently and said thoughtfully, "So you don't think he's a scavenger?" ”
The woman didn't speak, but her expression clearly acknowledged the guess.
"People from District Eleven?" The man asked.
"That's not logical." The woman said.
"That's interesting." The man said, "Forty-nine and fifty-three districts can't train such people. He looked at the woman, "Did anyone remember that plan?" ”
The woman looked at him quietly, "There's no such thing as Plan Zero. ”
"But people don't believe it." The man smiled: "Otherwise, why do the people of the Ye family insist on taking this trade route all the time?" ”
The woman groaned for a moment and asked, "So do you want to carry out the purge plan?" ”
"Doesn't that mean telling the people behind him that there's someone watching here?" The man laughed. He looked sideways at Ding Chen's face on the screen, and said softly: "It's going to rain, and my mother is going to get married...... Let him fend for himself. ”
The woman snorted, reached back to her computer, looked at her watch, and said, "Are you going back to change your clothes?" ”
"Let's change it on the plane." The man said, "I don't know why, every time I go to see Zhong Di, I feel uncomfortable." He said to the woman, "Ellie, why don't you go for me?" ”
Ellie's face showed a meaningful smile, "Let's go to the airport." ”
The man looked at her deeply, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "You're not tempted at all?" ”
"Considering that I am a descendant of the vanquished." Ellie said: "I'm happy with where I'm now. So let's not challenge the patience of the Capital Region. She said with a straight look, "I wish you a nice chat with the commander." ”
"To be honest, I'm not confident in that." The man sighed and turned to walk towards the outside of the warehouse.
Before I got to the car parked outside the warehouse area, I saw a tall woman hurrying by. Far away, he shouted, "Ellie, I have something to look for you." ”
"Su Ying?" The man frowned and said, "What are you doing here?" ”
"Comrade Chairman." Su Ying nodded to him and said, "I have something to do with Ellie." "The implication is naturally that it's your business.
"Of course." The man understood the meaning of her words, nodded and said, "Now I will give her to you." ”
Watching the man walk away unhurriedly, Ellie frowned and said, "You were too unkind to him. ”
"You're right about Li Wuyang?" Su Ying said disdainfully: "It was he who looked down on me first." ”
"That's because your values are so different." Ellie said, "I heard that you found another little fresh meat in the apartment this time?" ”
"I'm not here to talk to you about this." Su Ying said: "I heard that Ye Tianlong's caravan had an accident, and I was very worried about Cheng Bin. She said to Ellie, "I'm going to take someone to pick him up." ”
