Chapter 21 (II) The Fourth Man
Just when the Rubik's Cube troops moved quickly and searched for the surviving Delta Force soldier in the entire military port, Tang Shuxing and Gu Huaiyi, who could no longer hold their breath under the water in the river, let go of the stone and slowly floated to the water, but they only exposed the mouth and nose of their faces, because on the other side of the barbed wire, the four water ghosts of the Rubik's Cube Force were still patrolling around to prevent the Delta Force soldier from escaping from the waterway.
Previously, under the water, although Tang Shuxing and Gu Huaiyi didn't see clearly, Ji Kefeng had excellent underwater eyesight because of the relationship between becoming implants, and he clearly saw through the barbed wire that the water ghosts of the 4 Rubik's Cube troops had found the location of the 4 Delta Force soldiers below, and after sneaking in, they quickly restrained the 4 people, tied their wrists with cable ties, and did not use a dagger to cut the oxygen tubes of the Delta Force members, and then grabbed them who were desperately struggling and dived underwaterand drowned it alive.
Soon, Tang Shuxing and Gu Huaiyi finished breathing, and quietly dived down again, immediately diving back to their previous position, clinging to the stone and hiding behind a clump of water weeds, in case they were discovered by the water ghosts of the Rubik's Cube troops.
Ji Kefeng hid behind the aquatic plants, and gestured to Tang Shuxing and Gu Huaiyi, signaling that something was wrong, if he didn't go up now, he was afraid it would be too late, so he decided to risk himself to cross the underwater barbed wire first to attract the attention of the four water ghosts, and then Tang Shuxing and Gu Huaiyi turned over again.
You must not help, I can handle it, I am several times faster underwater than them! Ji Kefeng made a simple gesture, and then pointed to the dock in front of him: After you pass, go ashore immediately!
Tang Shuxing and Gu Huaiyi gave him a thumbs up, and then grabbed the stones under the water and slowly approached the barbed wire, while Ji Kefeng in the back kept waiting, waiting for them to approach, then rushed over quickly like a shark, deliberately jumped out of the water and pounced towards a water ghost who was showing his head on the water, and at the same time he stabbed the Mitsubishi bayonet in his hand directly into the head of the guy.
After that person died, the other three people also immediately discovered Ji Kefeng's existence. After Ji Kefeng dived, the three people immediately dived down from three different directions in pursuit, raising the underwater rifle in their hands to shoot at Ji Kefeng, but at the same time, they also began to suspect that they were not dealing with people, because they had never seen someone with the sensitivity of a fish underwater, just like a mermaid scurrying around.
While the three people were chasing and intercepting Ji Kefeng in the water, Tang Shuxing and Gu Huaiyi immediately jumped over the barbed wire fence and swam towards the shore of the dock.
"Captain, we are attacked, and there is only one person on the other side...... One of the water ghosts of the Rubik's Cube unit quickly surfaced. Inform their commander with a walk-in. But that's not the end of the story. He was dragged down by Ji Kefeng, who swam down quickly, with his legs in his arms, and at the same time, his chest and abdomen were stabbed several times by Ji Kefeng's bayonet, and he struggled for a while, and finally drowned because the water entered the respiratory tract.
"Ashore! We're no match for that thing underwater! The other two floated as well. Swim towards the shore as hard as you pull out the heavy lead from your waist for diving, and speed yourself up.
"What's that?" One of them swam and didn't forget to turn around and raise his gun to cover his companions, but the moment he turned around, he saw half of Ji Kefeng's head floating from under the water, but he quickly dived again, avoided the bullets that came from the shots, and turned around and walked quickly to his side.
Ji Kefeng after cutting the man's oxygen tube. An elbow struck him in the face, dragging him underwater.
"Sir! There are monsters! The living man finally climbed onto the shore, turned around and shot at the water, shouted with a walkie-talkie, and just finished shouting, Gu Huaiyi, who came from the side, shot his head with a silenced pistol.
"Take off his communicator!" Tang Shuxing, who was covering Gu Huaiyi on one side, said in a low voice. Then he pointed to the grass on the left, "Into the grass!" ”
After Gu Huaiyi took off the man's communicator and the two flashbangs on his waist, he pounced on the grass next to him, and waited for Ji Kefeng to get out of the water, and then the three of them crawled quickly in the grass, avoiding the helicopter's aerial search.
"Don't move!" Gu Huaiyi whispered, then buried his head in the grass, and then the helicopter's searchlight quickly swept over them.
Tang Shuxing raised his head slightly, looked at the flying helicopter, and then looked up slightly at the front and said, "Enter the building in front, how many bullets are left?" ”
"I have one magazine left." Gu Huaiyi crawled quickly.
"I don't know, I haven't seen it, I don't think it's much, three or four." Ji Kefeng rolled to the side and continued to climb.
"I seem to have a magazine left." Tang Shuxing also crawled, and the three of them immediately came to the back of the nearest building and lurked.
"Wait!" Gu Huaiyi raised his fist, listened to the content of the intercom of the Rubik's Cube Force, and then turned his head to the other two and said, "It seems that this group of troops killed most of the people in the previous troops, but there is still one person left alive, they are looking for that person in addition to us, but they suspect that Ji Ye, who was underwater before, is a member of the Delta Force that survived." ”
"I like this misunderstanding." Tang Shuxing nodded, "They don't know our number yet, it's good for us, should we act separately?" ”
"Not yet." Gu Huaiyi shook his head, "There must be something strange here, it's not just as simple as an armory, otherwise there is no need to kill the Delta Force, besides, the Delta Force is already an elite special force, and it was so easy to be killed by them." ”
Ji Kefeng glanced at the corner and shrank his head back: "Before, under the water, I saw very clearly, those 4 water ghosts are extremely skilled, and they have such strong combat effectiveness underwater, they are not ordinary troops." ”
"I heard them call themselves Rubik's Cube in communicators." Gu Huaiyi said again.
"Rubik's Cube?" Tang Shuxing recalled, "We seem to have heard this name from Hawke, right? ”
"Yes." Gu Huaiyi nodded, "Hawke said that after the dissolution of the Abyss Science Department in the United States, someone quietly formed the Rubik's Cube, but the new Rubik's Cube has no fixed office space, and the personnel are scattered in various institutions across the United States, and now we can't be sure what the connection between the Rubik's Cube unit in front of us is the one Hawke mentioned." ”
"What if there's a connection?" Ji Kefeng asked.
"Then pray." Gu Huaiyi patted Tang Shuxing's shoulder and raised his gun to drill into the building, "Because the predecessor of the Rubik's Cube, the Abyss Science Department, and Zhan Tianya's Ancient Science Department are mortal enemies, and we are the informants of the Ancient Science Department known to the outside world, we will definitely be skinned and cramped!" ”
Just as the Rubik's Cube troops were doing their best to search for Tang Shuxing and the others and the remaining members of the Delta Force, in the temporary headquarters of the US military, which was only a hundred kilometers away from the military port, the vice president and others were anxiously persuading the president who was flying towards him not to come to this dangerous place, but to go to the "Air Force One" to command.
But no one could convince the stubborn president. In the end, the president simply turned off the video link.
After the connection was over, the army general suddenly got up and said, "I need to go to the bathroom, I'm about to faint." He then left the command vehicle and went straight to the enclosed toilet through the adjacent passageway.
After entering the toilet, the general locked the door behind him, and then took out the mobile phone in his personal pocket and whispered: "Nick! Are you crazy? Come to me at this time? The president is almost here! At times like these, no one can be made aware of our private contact! ”
The Nick in the general's mouth is none other than the current Secretary of Homeland Security, Nick. Williamson is now the man who is commanding a classified operation in place of the general in an underground bunker unit in Washington.
"General. Feel relieved. This is the safety line. Detection can be avoided completely! I have very unfortunate news! Nick's voice on the other end of the line wasn't loud, "The team we sent to Naval Harbor in Philadelphia to destroy the evidence has lost contact, and I know from their communications back that they have been attacked by a force calling themselves 'Rubik's Cube.'" I'm afraid it's all gone! ”
"What? Rubik's Cube!? That's impossible! The general almost got up from the toilet bowl and said with one hand in his pants, "How is this possible!?" We are the Rubik's Cube! The fighters we sent were the members of the Rubik's Cube deliberately scattered in the special forces, and we took the time and effort to pull them out, send them over, and then be killed by another fake Rubik's Cube? ”
"I'm afraid so, General! Charlie also knows about it, and we don't know who the other side is now, but I'm 100 percent sure they're from the government. But it's still unclear who is responsible! Nick was very nervous, "If the matter of that warship in the military port is exposed, we will all be finished!" ”
"But the warship actually has nothing to do with us, and we didn't do the experiments back then. It was made by the group of bastards of the predecessor of the Abyss Science Department, we have been keeping this secret just for the sake of national security, what are we rebuilding the Rubik's Cube for? Isn't it just to wipe the ass of the Abyss Science Department? I've had enough! The general was so angry that he almost pulled his belt out.
"Calm down! This secret has been kept secret since 1943, but at the same time it has provided us with many valuable things, our optical camouflage, our stealth aircraft, weren't they all successfully developed from the information obtained from that experiment? "Nick's voice was actually shaking, he knew the seriousness of the revelation, and he knew that their private reorganization of the 'Abyss Science Department' and renaming it 'Rubik's Cube' was a complete violation of the agreement made with Russia a few years ago.
Just when the general was so angry that he was about to smash the phone, he heard Nick say again: "Wait! Charlie called, I switched to a three-way call! ”
Immediately afterward, Nick turned the call into a three-way call, and the Minister of Defense, Charlie Brown, said that the call was made by the Minister of Defense. Bell's voice appeared in the earpiece and brought another piece of bad news: "You two, it's a four-way call now, we have friends." ”
Nick and the general's faces suddenly changed, and then a fourth person's voice appeared on the phone: "James. General Holder, Charlie. Minister Bell, as well as Nick. Secretary Williamson, the three of you are all powerful and powerful people in the U.S. government, what will happen if you let the House of Representatives, Congress, etc. know that you have reorganized the 'Abyss Science Department'? ”
"Who are you?" General James asked, "Please tell me who you are!" ”
"It doesn't matter who I am, you can call me an emissary." The fourth person on the phone laughed, "I'm National Security Advisor Henry. McClydon. Jones Plenipotentiary, the fighting force that completely wiped out the special operations team you sent was my subordinate. ”
"You ......," General James said angrily, "what do you want to do?" What does Henry want to do? ”
General James, along with Nick and Charlie, knew that the country's security adviser was now flying with the president on Marine One toward the temporary headquarters on the outskirts of Camden.
"Your affairs have been exposed!" The fourth man, the man who claimed to be the secret envoy, said, "But it's only limited to me, it hasn't spread yet, and I'm not going to spread it, you should know that the experiments of the year have brought many times more harm than good, and it has awakened the monster underground, and now is the time for you to pay off your debts, for your sins, but you can remain silent, and I can also act as if I don't know anything, because my people are already there to wipe your ass and destroy the only evidence cleanly." ”
"I'll find out where you are and catch you!" The Secretary of Homeland Security gritted his teeth and said, "I won't be threatened by you." ”
"I'm not threatening you, and I don't want to expose it, and I know that the three of you are still trying to hide a very important character, because you believe that as long as he is not finished, he will have a chance to get you out of the quagmire, but alas, just a few hours ago, Jason. Mr. Rickman tried to shoot himself in front of me, but I stopped him, and this time he did not die, and he would not dare to do so again, in other words, he was already one of ours. The envoy laughed, "What about you?" How to choose? You don't have the backing, do you still need to hold on? ”
"What?" Charlie was surprised, he, the Minister of Defense, did not believe in death, and he always believed in his mind that he was invincible and would never be able to embark on the two paths of suicide and submission. Would Rickman do such a thing? He's the current CIA director! The most solid backing for the three of them!
Charlie, who was sitting in the Pentagon office, slammed his fist on the table at this time, squeezed the phone and asked, "What do you want to do?" ”
After that, no one spoke on the phone, and General James and Nick, the secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, waited for the secret envoy to answer, but the secret envoy was humming a song over there as if he was deliberately amusing a bird, and it was the national anthem of the United States.
The three of them held back their anger and listened to the secret envoy's humming, until they heard him finish humming, and then knocked on the thing next to him, and after making the ending note of "Dangdang", he said: "We hope that Charlie. Mr. Bell, the current Secretary of Defense, will become the President of the United States of America in the near future! ”
"What?" The three people on the other end of the phone were surprised at the same time.
Charlie. Bell was stunned, staring blankly at his eyes, and the hand that was going to get the cigarette stopped: "What did you say?" ”
"I say, Mr. President, you wait for the swearing-in!" The envoy laughed dryly twice after speaking, and then exited the call after the "drip", and the remaining three also fell into a surprised silence.
