“…… The article, written by an unnamed officer of the Special Service and Operations Bureau of Military Intelligence, has sparked a huge controversy on the Internet, highlighting the improper purge of the original intelligence network of the Secret Service by the Special Investigation Bureau of Military Intelligence established after the Washington incident, saying that a large number of excellent agents who have been lurking in the ACA for a long time have been inexplicably and meaninglessly purged, and the military has not yet responded to this, but netizens who support the former Secret Service and the current Special Investigation Bureau have been arguing with each other for several days......

The sudden sandstorm, not long after Ling Yu left the grocery store, enveloped the entire Tehran.

The regional climate extremes caused by the nuclear explosion have ravaged the city for more than a hundred years, and for the residents here, such sandstorms are nothing at all, and even for some of the tougher mercenaries, it will not affect their travel like autumn rain.

Payne drove the rest of the team back to their residences first, and then Ling Yu drove Xia Fengyan to the door of the black market alone.

The open-air black market was closed by a sandstorm, so there were only two guards lazily carrying guns.

"You know him?"

The silence along the way was broken by Xia Fengyan after Ling Yu stepped on the brakes, and the entire car was stopped steadily, "That patient with advanced secondary disease? ”

"Sort of," Ling Yu shook his head, not having much expression on his face, "A friend's friend." ”

"A friend of the 'Sheath Knight' Linya?" Xia Fengyan didn't want to get out of the car at all, his right hand propped up on the door of the assistant's seat, and turned his head to look at Ling Yu, "It's just that the 'Sword Scabbard Knight' who finally prevented Marven's coup was also promoted as a hero of the cavalry team, why did he target you like this?" ”

After the events in Iceland. The cavalry and the allies quickly unified their voices, stating that the coup was carried out by Marvin from beginning to end. Pierre's appearance was completely erased, and even the parties were gagized.

In the same coup d'état, it is one thing for one's own people in a high-ranking position to launch it, and it is another thing for a political leader of an enemy country to launch it. After all, the former is just a non-war crime of misemploying people, and the latter will make the people directly question the ability of the cavalry, pierce the gorgeous cloak that they have always covered public opinion, and shatter the aura of the gods.

"How do I know?" Ling Yu turned his head and glanced at Xia Fengyan, "Aren't you going to leave?" ”

"I live alone, and it's not interesting to go back." Xia Fengyan didn't have the slightest intention of being shaken by Ling Yu's indifferent eyes, "Besides, I'm very interested in you. ”

"Are you a mercenary or a journalist?" Ling Yu was silent for a moment, then took out a pack of cigarettes from his jacket pocket. Shake out one and put it in his mouth, "I don't accept interviews." ”

"It's just a private meeting to satisfy my curiosity," Xia Fengyan raised his hands, signaling that he didn't have any eavesdropping equipment, and he didn't intend to record the conversation, "From an alliance hero to a wanted criminal, it's even more exciting than a Hollywood blockbuster." ”

"Because movies also need to be reasonable. Reality simply doesn't need it. Ling Yu lit a cigarette with a lighter and took a deep breath.

"I have to say. There is a big gap between you and what I imagined. Xia Fengyan was still staring at Ling Yu, as if he could see the meaning of the entire universe from Ling Yu's face, "I have watched the video of the Paris Medal Ceremony, and you were much more cheerful at that time than now. ”

"It's a lot more naïve." Ling Yu closed his eyes and hid his gaze under the old long-brimmed hat, "People will grow up. ”

"Jeunse. Miele's affair seems to have a big impact on you. Xia Fengyan sighed. I'm sorry. ”

"There's nothing to apologize for." A hint of exhaustion flashed in the face under Ling Yu's hat, "We are just moving forward on the same path, they have given more than me, at least I still have my life." ”

"About that Linnell," Xia Fengyan was silent for a few seconds. Apparently changing the subject, "You don't explain because it's useless?" ”

"If the explanation is useful, there will be no war in this world." Ling Yu flicked the ashes of his cigarette, "What's more, what's there to explain?" ”

"Did you see his eyes," unexpectedly, without waiting for Xia Fengyan to ask, Ling Yu continued to speak, "That kind of fanatic look, what you say is useless, he lives in his own world, and blames all the misfortune and pain on me, this kind of problem cannot be solved by explanation." ”

"'Privy Blade'......" Xia Fengyan didn't comment, just shook his head with a wry smile, "If it's all this kind of person, then I'm afraid it's going to be troublesome." ”

"In any case, he is right on this point," Ling Yu pressed the cigarette into the ashtray, "In terms of results, I really didn't do anything. ”

"But at least you're doing it," Xia Fengyan sighed heavily, "Moreover, you're not doing nothing. ”

"Thank you." Ling Yu nodded slightly, "The interview is over. ”

Facing Ling Yu's clear eviction order, Xia Fengyan nodded and held the doorknob.

She looked at Ling Yu's silhouette, as if she could see a demon called "Past" wrapped around his body, making him barely straight.

"By the way, I have something for Arya." Xia Fengyan took out a storage disk from his pocket and threw it to Ling Yu, "It's not a dangerous item, you can check it, it's just a surveillance video that I found by accident." ”

"I'll pass it on."

Seeing Ling Yu nodded, Xia Fengyan didn't hesitate any longer, directly pushed open the door, stepped out of the car, and walked into the billowing sand and dust in Ling Yu's gaze.

"Mercenaries? Interesting. ”

Ling Yu looked at the storage disk in his hand, smiled coldly, and then hung up the reverse gear, skillfully turned the car around, and drove into the flying sand in the sky.

"In short, it must be admitted that this time our operations in Tehran and Baghdad have completely failed."

Ling Yu propped his chin with both hands, lowered his head, and looked at Wen Jiàn projected on the table, "I didn't get any clues, and I didn't have any information and samples related to the virus...... This time it failed again. ”

The atmosphere in the room was solemn, and everyone was silent, including Vivien, like a child who had made a mistake. Holding a cup of hot water, sitting at the table, even breathing carefully.

"Let's sort it out first, it's not your responsibility, being followed is definitely my problem, and you don't have to be so nervous." It seems to be aware that the atmosphere is too strict. Ling Yu leaned back and threw the electronic pen in his hand on the table, "Arya, let's sort out the information we have first." ”

"Okay." Arya nodded slightly, then changed the contents on the table.

"We found the black gold real yàn room according to the intelligence of the Kronos company, and we came to Tehran a week ago, strictly speaking our speed is not slow, even the land snake in Tehran is not so fast to get the news out, from this point of view. It must have been a leak from inside Kronos. ”

"We already knew that." Ling Yu nodded lightly, "This is the price of using an intelligence agency, the bigger the agency, the more spies there are, and it is impossible not to leak the news." ”

"If it was on the territory of the Alliance, I'm afraid some guys would have been buzzing like flies and pounced on them." Vivien pouted, apparently with some unpleasant memories.

"It's really hard for you to be a wanted criminal at such a young age." Ling Yu sighed, although he couldn't feel it in Tehran, he was definitely a five-star wanted on the territory of the alliance. It's not that you can't go, but you must be careful in all aspects of your actions.

"There's my dear you. I'll go to the Sword Mountain and the Sea of Fire too~" Vivien raised her head and gave Ling Yu a wink.

"Call me brother." However, the young man didn't see it at all, but raised his head and looked directly at Arya, "There will be no problem with tomorrow's evacuation and trace cleaning." ”

"No problem, this time it's not Kronos's way, and the chances of being tracked are slim." Arya, who had always spoken cautiously, naturally didn't make a 100% package ticket, but this sentence sounded like no problem to Ling Yu.

"The question now is, where do we go?"

Payne, who was standing quietly next to the table, interjected softly and looked at Ling Yu.

"What did the evacuees say?" Ling Yu was silent for a moment and looked at Arya again.

"Our transit station is in Cairo. After that, it's not much of a problem to go around the world. Arya pointed to the map showing the former Egyptian capital on the other side of the Suez Canal.

"Pyramids! Sphinx! Pharaoh! Alien! Vivien jumped up from her chair with a light in her eyes.

"The Sphinx was blown up during the Seventh Middle East War, and now it's a copy of the ACA." Ling Yu smiled bitterly and shook his head, as long as this little girl was ignited, the atmosphere in the entire room could not be suppressed.

"If nothing else...... It's possible to stay in Cairo for a few days. Arya pointed her chin with her finger, the girl seemed to have some preference for Vivien, "Our identity is a second-line army withdrawn from Italy, there is no convenience, but there is no one to take care of, now Spain is about to be liberated, a large number of retreating second-line troops are concentrated in Cairo and the surrounding areas, the gendarmes can't take care of it at all, and it is not difficult for us to spend some money to get a car to go sightseeing." ”

"You're spoiling her too much, Arya." Ling Yu shook his head with a smile, but he didn't object, "If there is nothing else, I can only say that it cannot be guaranteed." ”

"It's okay! My dear, I will be satisfied if you have this heart~"

Vivien pounced on Ling Yu directly from the table, but Ling Yu just caught her and placed her on the chair.

"You're a girl too, be reserved," Ling Yu sighed helplessly after doing this, "Also, call me brother." ”

"Captain, communication incoming, from Muhammad's encrypted channel."

"Take it in."

The sudden call made everyone put away their relaxed mood, Ling Yu nodded, and Vivian also tidied up her clothes and sat down at the table honestly.

It's a two-way video call.

"I'm Ling Yu."

"This channel hasn't been abandoned yet, I thought I owed you a favor."

Muhammad's beardless face appeared on the screen, he leaned back on a large bed, holding a hookah pipe, looking very leisurely, "Thank you for bringing Xia Feng's cigarette back intact." ”

"I thought she was just an ordinary mercenary." Ling Yu sneered.

"She really isn't, but it doesn't matter who she is, for me she still owes me a final payment, and if she dies, I'll have a big deficit this month." Muhammad replied with the same smile, "The newly established Special Investigation Bureau of Military Intelligence is really generous. ”

Ling Yu knew that Muhammad was talking about the alliance's newly established Military Intelligence Reconnaissance Agency (SMIRA), which was subordinate to the military and was dedicated to foreign intelligence gathering, referred to as the Special Investigation Agency, after the dissolution of the Secret Service, some people joined this intelligence agency, and the other part formed a new "Central Investigation Agency of the Alliance" with the original National Security Bureau (ConfederationBureau of Investigation, CBI) is mainly responsible for internal intelligence investigation, while the security of the president and dignitaries is the responsibility of the Secret Service under the Investigation Bureau.

"It's not surprising." Ling Yu nodded, it is normal for the agents of the Special Investigation Bureau to want information about the virus, on the other hand, this can also be regarded as a kind of surveillance, after all, Ling Yu is still an out-and-out dangerous element, if he really can't think about it, it will be more troublesome to threaten the alliance with the number of viruses.

This is called split management. (To be continued......)
