Chapter 45: Before You Go
Seris has been the capital of the republic for many years. It is a symbol of the collective wisdom of the people of the Republic and the best interpretation of the great deeds of the Father of the Republic. The capital is not far from the capital, and they all stand on the Plains of Rebirth, but Seris is much larger than Pallas. Mo was an orphan and had never left Pallas since birth. When he was a student, the capital was the place he longed for the most. Many years have passed, and now Mo Yitian has long since abandoned the ideas of the past. The capital currently represents only one thing for itself, and that is the truth!
Mo Beitian also considered going back to the original village to resume his life first, but he thought about it and asked Paul to sacrifice his life to let him see the third uncle, which shows the importance of this. Now that his friend has gone to the void, and he hopes that he can find the answer to his question before he dies, then as a close friend, he should go to the capital to complete this mission first.
The Plains of Rebirth belong to the Asian realm. It is said that the nearest way to get there is to cross the Middle East, but Mo Beitian and Nazar fled from the Middle East, and now it is impossible to return the same way, so if you want to go to the capital, you can only take a long detour by water. However, in order to travel by water, it was necessary to have a boat, and the ship they had seized when they came to New Alexandria had long since been scrapped, and even if it was still usable, there was no guarantee that the two men would be able to cross the Pacific Ocean safely. They need a big ship now.
In fact, it is also easy to take a boat in New Alexandria. Because the republic is the sole government of the entire shijie, it abolished the boundaries between states when it was established. Residents everywhere in Shijie use a unified identity and authority. Due to the large existing population of the Republic, the State has enacted a number of convenient policies, including the possibility for residents to travel across sectors without the use of identity documents for transportation and accommodation. In other words, undocumented people like Nazar can travel freely through every corner of the Republic.
New Alexandria is the largest port in northern Africa. There are many passenger ferries that dock here, including two trips to the capital. Mo Beitian chose the super-speeding maglev power boat at 9 p.m., which is currently the fastest water vehicle in the Republic, and it will take you at most a day to reach Seris.
At dusk, Mo took Nazar into a small restaurant near the port for dinner. The restaurant has very little traffic, and most of the people who come here are sailors and port staff. Mo asked for a seat near the window and sat down, picked up the newspaper prepared by the restaurant for the guests and looked at it aimlessly.
After a while, a piece of news caught his attention, and he couldn't help but read it carefully: there had been a collapse in many places in the territory of the Republic. The site of the collapse will form huge sinkholes, which are unfathomably deep, and many of them are releasing unidentified gases. At the moment there is no further comment from the authorities on this incident. Some experts speculate that these sinkholes may be related to the frequent earthquakes and tsunamis events in recent days. As of press time, there have been no casualties in this incident, and this newspaper will continue to follow up and report on it as soon as possible.
"Sinkhole?" Mo Beitian muttered in a low voice. Isn't that what he found in the desert with Nazar a while ago? At that time, he thought it was just a simple natural phenomenon, but in the current situation, it doesn't seem to be so simple behind it. I don't know if Weishenme Mo has a vague feeling that this matter may be related to the answer he is looking for, but he can't say what the connection is. He thought about it for a while and never had a clue, as long as he stopped for the time being, but he had already begun to pay attention to this matter.
It was nearly seven o'clock in the evening after dinner. Mo Yantian didn't want to delay any longer, so he pulled little Nazar onto the boat. He thinks that it is best not to make extraneous branches before finding the third uncle in the capital, and he may be able to avoid the eyes and ears of the Republic by keeping a low profile.
Of course, this is just wishful thinking. In fact, Mike has been following Mo Yantian. By this time he had quietly followed them aboard. When he shot Paul, he thought that Mo Zhitian would also die, but he didn't expect that this seemingly weak person would escape death. Mike had been with the Seventh Division for many years, and the agent's instincts told him that Paul might have told him something important, and that if he wanted to know what that information was, he had to follow him. This is actually against the orders of the superiors, and his immediate boss Li Haowen told him that he must solve Paul and Mo Yitian in the shortest possible time. Killing people is not a difficult thing for the Seventh Department, but what he can't figure out is that Weishenme wants to kill them? Didn't the minister last time say that he would observe the situation and wait for orders from the capital? Could it be that the top brass of the capital is asking the ministers to get rid of them? Doesn't that look like the way things are done in the capital? Although Mike is usually extremely indifferent, he is extremely meticulous in his heart. After he carried out Li Haowen's order, he realized that there might be something else in it, so when he found out that Mo Weitian was still alive, he decided to find out what kind of medicine this person bought in the gourd first.
Mo Bitian and Mike can not mention it for the time being. On the other hand, in Seris's headquarters, Minister Shao Yunde was also a little uncertain at this time. He had just returned from Pallas's branch when he received a report from Li Haowen. It is said that Paul was spotted by Mo Bitian during the joint, and the two had an argument, and Mo Bitian shot Paul and was killed by Agent Mike.
The contents of this report made Shao Yunde almost suffer a heart attack. He originally wanted to personally catch Mo Yantian to lure out the big fish behind the scenes, but he didn't expect this clue to be broken so quickly, which made him difficult to accept for a while. In his opinion, all this was to blame on the indecision of the Grand Commander, and this would not have happened if he had not asked for continued surveillance. And that Mike, who is already an old agent, why did he kill Mo Yingtian so impulsively? Alas, it doesn't matter if Paul wasn't from his own department, but even Mike made such a mistake. Thinking of Paul, Shao Yunde was dizzy again, this hairy boy who didn't know whether he was an enemy or a friend was so trusted by the Grand Commander, I really didn't know what kind of medicine the Great Commander had taken wrong to give him such a professional task?
Shao Yunde shook his head and threw the report into the paper basket in his office. Now that the big mistake has been made, there is no other way, so I have to ask Li Haowen to discuss what to do next! Thinking of this, he involuntarily took out a cigarette from his pocket and smoked it.
