Volume 1: "Thieves" 019.
Kim Myung-woo was not surprised by Edgar's request. Because he was one of the participants, of course he knew why he was staying.
It's not that the so-called once-in-a-century super storm Wenda is coming, which can't resist the need for emergency evacuation of coastal residents, but that the gimmick of blowing up the entire Newsland city has been known, so this clichΓ© excuse is used to justifiably minimize the damage.
"Politicians everywhere are the same, they always like to wrap their real purpose with a glossy coat"
Jin Mingyou slandered in his heart, but he still acted normal on his face, and looked at Edgar with some doubts.
"Boss, what's the matter?"
He looked around and found that after hearing the words of the two of them, the rest of them just pretended not to hear them, and left as if nothing had happened.
When the irrelevant people were gone, Edgar didn't explain immediately, but led Jin Mingyou as he walked and said: "A very important operation, for the time being, only the high-level officials of the Intelligence Bureau know about it, because as long as it leaks a little bit out, the whole city will be in chaos, and the consequences will be unimaginable, but I think you are qualified to know and participate." β
As the two spoke, they walked into a dedicated elevator, where Edgar swiped a magnetic card on a card reader behind the door, then pressed and held the button that went straight to the top floor.
Kim Myung-woo was overjoyed, the situation was already obvious, there were three aprons on the top floor of the building, which were dedicated to the rapid transfer of the top level of the intelligence bureau. In this way, his days of saddle up and hard work have been wasted, and Edgar has come to use him as a true confidant.
"In this operation of more than 40 people, I only mobilized three people, only you are a newcomer in less than half a year, but I believe that you will not disgrace me."
Edgar's words of encouragement fell, and with a thud, the elevator that was speeding up came to a halt.
As soon as the sliding doors on both sides opened, Jin Mingyou saw that under the gloomy sky, there were many people gathered around the tarmac, and most of them were key members of the bureau.
"What happened this time, the storm brought us together"
"It won't be a follow-up to the bombing, it seems that it is only intended to be known to a few people, and I have a bad premonition."
"I'm more skeptical than hunched about what we can do in this weather."
These voices are not small.
The roof of the building was empty, except for the elevator rooms protruding in a row, there was no shelter, and there was not only the wind brought by the thick black clouds in the sky, but also the huge hum of the surrounding propellers, the sound could be transmitted from a distance of seven or eight meters, which undoubtedly showed their suspicious attitude.
"Don't bother to guess, I'll tell you all when we get to the helicopter."
As soon as the elevator next to it opened, an old voice said loudly.
There is no need to look back, with this voice, Jin Mingyou knows that the person who came from the Dao is the chief boss of the intelligence bureau. He suddenly had the feeling that it would be time for him to show his skills.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
The destination was Heimlit Military Base, a military base on the edge of Newsland City near the inland side. It is also one of the three largest military bases on the East Coast, the other two, one in Gongwei Washington, and one on an island far from the coast.
Looking out the window through the gray glass, Kim Myung-woo, who was flying a helicopter for the first time, felt the novelty and disbelief.
If it weren't for the occasional lights below that alerted Kim that this was Newsland, he would have thought he was seeing an uninhabited wilderness.
Under the dark sky, the whole central area of the city was already dark, and the once bustling streets of buildings, after losing all their bright colors, were not much better than gray curtains, the consequences of the bombing of the power plant in the eastern part of the United States on the sixth day. After the urban road management center was blown up, although it has recovered a lot of functions in the past few days with the help of spare equipment, it can still be found that during the flight, there are at least 30 blockages along the way, and the dense congested traffic extends for a total of more than ten kilometers.
This is the area close to the city, and on the few roads leading to the city on the periphery, the direction into the city has been filled with camouflage vehicles, stretching below the horizon, crooked like a Panamanian snake. Not only is the scene on the road shocking, but a large number of helicopters can also be seen in the sky, and the scene of swarming is terrifying.
"I'm not dreaming, am I really causing this? If he hadn't known what had happened to Lu Dao, he would definitely have thought that he was fighting! β
Even if he had expected that the last email would have a terrifying result, when he really saw all this in the air, Jin Mingyou realized that he still underestimated its influence.
However, with this shock at the beginning, when Jin Mingyou went to the military base, it was not surprising that those high-ranking generals who carried all kinds of rules and regulations on their shoulders were numb or numb by their own actions.
Sleepwalking all the way to a large tent with various advanced instruments and equipment by Edgar, Jin Mingyou woke up like a dream, and looked at the busy staff who knew at a glance that Lu Dao had extraordinary influence in various fields.
Refinement, self-confidence, arrogance, and quantity.
"Two, two, two hundred!"
Before entering, he appeared to see six of these tents.
Ignoring the stunned feeling on Jin Mingyou's face, Edgar began to introduce to a guy who seemed to be the leader here: "This is one of the best software experts we have here, Mingyou Kim, he has designed a great model matching system software, even if it does not shine on the face, it can improve the retrieval accuracy of clues dozens of times, he was responsible for the retrieval of images from the surveillance network, and the other two are Odom and Tebi, who used to work on the Bayil Peninsula and belong to experienced intelligence officers."
"Okay, okay, I don't need to introduce so much, I know it, everyone who comes here will say that, but I want to tell you, here, you are no different."
After a very demoralizing remark, the group of four people was assigned to a corner, and then, quickly indifferent to the crowd.
How something feels wrong.
After a moment of silence, Jin Mingyou suddenly looked up and asked, "Boss, I feel like we're doing chores."
Only then did he react, and his pride was instantly shattered by reality, Jin Mingyou found that after coming here, he was completely different from what he thought, and he was actually doing boring and boring retrieval work, but after doing such an earth-shattering event, shouldn't he be allowed to refer to important secrets, and then he showed unparalleled wisdom, and pointed out who the culprit was according to the clues hidden under the fog, and ushered in a look of admiration?
"This doesn't make sense, I'm the protagonist."
Sensing Jin Mingyou's resentment, Edgar smiled indifferently: "Of course not, it's just necessary to keep a low profile." β
"Now that it's home to some of the best minds from across the East Coast, it's time to re-examine the surveillance, call logs, and network information of the entire city over the past month, and rest assured that as time goes on, they will get more and more anxious after no clues are found, and I'm sure the gold will always shine."
In the face of Edgar's encouragement, Jin Mingyou regained his arrogance: "Boss, I understand, the protagonists are all used to save the scene. β
In his mind, he estimated the time of the explosion after the worst explosion, and there were still twelve hours, which was enough for him to do something.
