(2-in-1 update.) There is a chapter in half an hour to make up for yesterday's update)

Darkness breeds light, and light turns away from darkness. Curse the darkness. - Goethe, Faust

——————————

August 2, 10:30 a.m. Moscow time.

At the moment the K20 has already reached Bilm, which is still more than five hours away from Yekaterinburg. There are still six hours left before the 240 departure to Cao County directly via the Trans-Siberian Railway.

Li Jiting walked out of the hotel gate, generously tipped the parking boy who had been waiting for a while, and then got into the Audi car parked at the main entrance and drove out of the classic Soviet tower-style building - Radisson Blu Royal Hotel.

Under the blue sky and white clouds, the Moskva River sparkles in the sun, and futuristic sightseeing boats paddle in between.

The black Audi travels up the Moscow River towards the Moscow Embassy Quarter, once known as Lenin Hill.

At this time, Li Jiting's mobile phone rang, Li Jiting grabbed the steering wheel with one hand, took out the vibrating mobile phone from his pocket with the other hand, looked at the six-digit phone number, and pressed the answer, before he could say "Hey", he heard the voice of scolding over there, "Team Leader Li! Do you still have organizational discipline and do you not report major actions, and now the Russian side has handed us a note, asking us to explain as soon as possible." ”

"I said Lao Zhang, are you so angry early in the morning? I can't get angry when you get up? It must be just an ordinary note, you just fool the woolly bear and play Tai Chi, aren't you the best at this?" Li Jiting said with a smile that didn't care at all.

"Are the Russians so easy to fool? Why don't you make this big history?" the person on the other side was still angry.

"Lao Zhang believes me, it's not a big deal, I won't make a claim!

"You say, look what earth-shattering things you've done? Germany and France have come to the door together, and now even the Russians know that we have taken trade secrets from the European Aerospace Defense Group!"

"I'm also talking about organizational discipline, it's inconvenient to say this thing for the time being, in short, it's a good thing, a great good thing!"

The anger on the other end of the phone suddenly dissipated, and his tone was very calm, "Okay, since you say so, I won't hold you accountable for the time being, but I will report to the higher-ups, don't think I'll take the blame for you." ”

"Got it! I'm going back, please drink! 80 years of Moutai is enough...."

"This is still like a human saying, is there anything that needs help? Are the comrades lurking in Europe already safely returned?"

"In order not to let the other party find out at the first time, they didn't come back and stayed in Germany....." Li Jiting put away his joking tone and said seriously: "I hope we can have 'chips' on our side, let's change people back!"

"That'..... Stuff.... Forget it, don't ask! If there is anything that needs to be mentioned directly, what I can do for the time being is to help you block the Russians back first, but if something is really important, the Germans and the French will not just forget it, and the Russians are also very ambiguous, maybe they will turn a blind eye. ”

"Yes, I see. Don't worry, I can handle it. ”

"Stay safe. The person called Lao Zhang admonished.

"Got it, I owe you this time!" After speaking, Li Jiting hung up the confidential phone and continued to drive intently, until he reached a place at the foot of Lenin Mountain where there were few people and cars.

Li Jiting parked the Audi on the side of the road, and about four or five kilometers away from where he parked, there was an extremely striking building, a huge ice bucket-shaped gray cement building full of jagged teeth, surrounded by wilderness, without a single shelter, this building was like a rocket stuck upside down on the earth.

Ostensibly called the State Robotics Research Institute of the Russian Federation, it claims to be focusing on spaceships and military robots, and because of its strange shape, like a tulip bud without opening, it is locally known as the white tulip.

It seems that the whole place is unobstructed, and there seems to be no checkpoint, but in fact, it belongs to a military powerhouse, and there are countless hidden advanced weapons around it, and it is difficult for ordinary people to get close to it, and even drones and the like are impossible to fly over to find out, not to mention drones, and even carriers are unlikely to break through its defenses and approach easily.

Li Jiting got out of the car and looked at the building he was familiar with, and he could see the golden sunflower logo printed on the top of the building with his amazing eyesight.

That's right, here is the headquarters of the Sunflower flag of the Russian enforcers.

There are no buildings on this road, except for the road and the forest of Sparrow Mountain in the distance, but there is a red telephone booth set up in the distance not far away, Li Jiting walked straight over, entered the red wooden lattice telephone booth, the telephone inside is still the kind of coin-operated antique, he took out a double-headed eagle silver coin from his pocket, and then picked up the phone, pressed a set of numbers on the very old stainless steel buttons, and a low Russian voice sounded on the other end of the phone, "Where are you going?"

"Where the ashes burn. ”

"Please hang up. The other party said emotionlessly.

Li Jiting hung up the phone as he said, and then complained: "After so many years, it is still the style of the former Soviet Union, and the attitude is still so bad, and there is no improvement ....."

Before his words fell, the wooden floor of the telephone booth sank downward, entering a silver square pipe, and when he sank into the pipe, the floor of the telephone booth above his head closed instantly, and the light disappeared, only the light of the acrylic lamps at the four corners of the stainless steel channel was straight down.

Every once in a while, a number would appear on the stainless steel passage, and when the number reached 13, the thing that could barely be called an elevator stopped and went down, and the stainless steel wall with the number 13 cracked a gap, and 1 and 3 each slid to the sides, revealing an entrance, and Li Jiting did not hesitate to go straight inside.

At the end of the corridor is a square steel door carved with golden sunflowers, a special material made of this special material that can be isolated from teleportation, and the building is built so deep underground that it shields the signal and makes the carrier's auxiliary tools useless.

When Li Jiting walked to the door, the heavy steel gate was slowly pulled in, and a spectacular scene like a science fiction movie immediately appeared in front of his eyes, a huge dome that flashed like a flying saucer, the center of the dome was a red sickle and hammer logo, and the circular glass wall looked like an aquarium, in which jellyfish and sharks were swimming.

The entire ring building was empty, like a theater where a movie was being shown, neither bright nor dark, Li Jiting took a few steps forward and shouted in Russian: "Principal, long time no see, old friend has come to see you!"

As soon as Li Jiting's words fell, suddenly, a huge white spider web suddenly appeared in front of him at a speed visible to the naked eye, wrapping towards him, and at the same time a somewhat rough voice sounded: "Sun King, I didn't expect that we would meet one day.....

Li Jiting waved his hand towards the cobweb, and instantly released the SSS skill "Truth: Sun Fury (Magnetic Reconnection Flare)", and the half-dark air suddenly burst into a cloud of dazzling light, like countless orange-red bubbles bursting on the hot magma, the light illuminated the entire hall, saying that the hall was incorrect, it should be a square, or a theater, and the constantly shining magma foam will instantly burn the white cobwebs that rush to the face, and there are no ashes left.

At the moment when the cobwebs disappeared, three light marks appeared behind Li Jiting, like a cheetah sneaking behind him and waving sharp claws, the shield was ineffective against this kind of non-energy attack, so this grasp directly crossed Li Jiting's back.

But in fact, what was in place was only the phantom shadow left in Li Jiting's eyes, three light marks flashed, and Li Jiting also disappeared in the same place, and in a blink of an eye, he seemed to freeze in the middle of the square, and in a moment, colorful light filled the entire space, like a never-ending wind of light, constantly invading the entire theater, "Truth: Carrington Storm (Solar Storm)".

The wind speed is getting faster and faster, Li Jiting's curls are flying in the air, the high-speed charged particle flow will raise the temperature of the entire theater rapidly, all invisibility and mimicry are invisible under the solar storm, the shark behind the glass began to turn its belly before it had time to escape, countless white jellyfish like fireworks exploded into white debris at a glance, thirty centimeters thick polymer synthetic glass trembled gently in the gorgeous Carrington storm, this glass can withstand a thousand degrees of heat, but its surface is full of bubbles.

A huge octopus with a mechanical body larger than an excavator appeared in the water out of thin air, the octopus's eyes flashed red, the tentacles had mechanical tentacles like steel whips, and there were also octopus tentacles with suction cups, he only appeared in the water for one second, and the next second it ran behind Li Jiting, countless tentacles wrapped around Li Jiting and tore him off the air, falling like the floor, "Bastard, Lao Tzu said hello to you, have you cooked all my treasures?" And you want to use such a trick to destroy my base?"

Thinking that Li Jiting was shot down, the violent solar storm suddenly stopped, and the polymer glass that was about to be boiled also stopped trembling.

Li Jiting fell like a meteor on the floor that did not know the material above, he supported the ground with both hands, and turned a few times on the floor covered with murals of Cossacks, Soviet troops, and Lenin's heads, but before he could stand firmly, a bear claw beckoned to his face, Li Jiting did not care, and said with a smile: "You are too ignorant of hospitality as a host! I haven't seen you for so long, you are not good at wine and food, and you are still playing hide and seek with me..."

At the moment when the bear's paw was about to touch him, he lifted his feet lightly, flew up the vaulted dome like a cannonball, and then catapulted down, heading straight for the great octopus that was dancing its teeth and claws in the void.

The speed was so fast that red sparks rubbed in the air, and he didn't know what kind of material his clothes were made of, but they didn't burn or burst. In the next second, the big octopus that seemed to be about to be pierced by Li Jiting's cannonball-like body turned into a flat-headed man with white hair and white beard, the flat-headed man had knife-like wrinkles on his face, he looked a little old, but his body was glowing with silver, as tough and strong as a metal sculpture, there was an electric current beating on his thick arms, and there were butterfly-like mechanical wings on his back.

The two of them threw punches at the same time in mid-air, and then the fists collided with the breakthrough wind barrier, time and air seemed to freeze for a few seconds, and then the huge reaction force caused both of them to bounce in the opposite direction.

Li Jiting flipped a few circles in the air, and flicked his fingers out the S skill "Truth: Cosmic Rays", a silent, invisible ray pierced the chest of the flat-headed man not far away, and a cavity the size of a coin penetrated through his bulging silver pectoral muscles, but as soon as his eyes touched the round wound that looked like a red-hot soldering iron had pierced, it had already healed at an incredible speed, as if nothing had happened just now.

The white-haired flat-headed man shook his finger at Li Jiting, who had already stood still, and sneered: "It's been fifteen years, and you still have those few moves?"

"This shows that I am nostalgic for the old, whether it is for people or .....things," Li Jiting shrugged his shoulders.

The flat-headed man sighed, and said in a very disappointed tone: "It's really a pity, I thought that after fifteen years, you could get a few more powerful skills." After saying that, the flat-headed man floating in mid-air slowly landed on the ground, and the mechanical butterfly wings behind him were folded and disappeared.

Li Jiting walked towards the flat-headed man and sneered: "You seem to have something to offer." ”

"We are different, our sunflower banner is from prosperity to decline, and your Taiji Dragon is from weak to strong, I am fortunate that I have not regressed, and you have not progressed, it can only mean that you are very bad. After a pause, the man teleported to Li Jiting's side and hugged his shoulder, patted him again and said with a smile: "Let's go, I invite you to eat shark meat, the shark you killed can't be wasted..."

"As you say, I'm still the leader of the Hidden Dragon Group. ”

The flat-headed man laughed heartily, "Then I'm relieved!" Waste a silver double-headed eagle coin to find here, what's the .....?"

Li Jiting stopped and said lightly: "I hope that this time the Sunflower Banner will ignore the dirt between us, the Germans and the French. ”

The flat-headed man shook his head without hesitation, "I can agree to whatever the private matter is, and there is no need to discuss anything in the official matter, I can only obey the orders from above." ”

"I think the above will trust your judgment. ”

"To be honest, I'm also interested in what secrets you've gotten from Euspace Defence, and if you're willing to share the information you've gotten, I can try to convince them. The flat-headed man said with a serious expression.

"This is not something that I, a small team leader, can decide, or you don't act yet, and I'll report to the above. Li Jiting said with a smile.

The flat-headed man shook his head, "You're too cunning to trust you..... The only thing I can do is what will happen in the future, and treat Iris, Black Hawk, and you all the same. ”

Seeing what Li Jiting was going to say, the flat-headed man put down the hand holding Li Jiting, turned his head to look at Li Jiting and said, "Sun King, you have your position, I also have my position, it is impossible to do anything harmful to the interests of the country." ”

Li Jiting took out a badge from his pocket, the badge consisted of three black arrows and two red equilateral triangles, handed it to the flat-headed man and said, "What if there is this?"

When the flat-headed man saw the badge, his face changed greatly, and his expression became solemn, he took the badge, looked at it carefully, and then turned his head to look at Li Jiting and said: "The stakes are very high, I must verify the authenticity of the badge." ”

Li Jiting smiled and nodded, "Please." ”

The flat-headed man suddenly disappeared into the theater, and Li Jiting began to look at the huge oil paintings painted on the floor.

After a while, the flat-headed man appeared beside Li Jiting again, "One week, we can only give you one week, but ask what you have done, no matter what you gain afterwards, you must share with us the secrets you obtained from the European Aerospace Defense Group.... Be careful not to overdo it..... If there is anything to do next time in the province, there will be no possibility of cooperation!"
