Chapter 20: A Night of Secrets (Part II)
Gu Tie waved his hand and reshaped his body, the Pure Land finally regained its calm after a period of violent turmoil, the hazy white mist once again wrapped the entire space, the black spear occasionally flashed in the clouds, the thundercloud rolling sky and the earthy and damp earth gave the owner of the Pure Land the best comfort, Gu Tie fell to the ground tiredly, not wanting to move a little finger,
"What the hell is this Brotherhood of Red Owls? He muttered with palpitations, just a search engine query attracted a menacing counterattack, the organization called the Red Brotherhood seemed to be merciless to voyeurs, and was as sensitive as an old virgin who was changing clothes,
I know very little about the other party, and the only information I have is: the opponent's action team members are Japanese, they are well equipped, and the birthplace of the attack is also Japan, and the organization is established in 2026, and the purpose is what the hell equality and freedom,,, it seems that the creed of all cult organizations is hell equality and freedom, "Unless the end of the world, where is there real equality and freedom." Gu Tie sighed and said to himself,
He suddenly remembered the huge red countdown number in the basement of his courtyard in Beijing, the reason for the establishment of the "Betrayer" organization, the unordered strings in the ordered quantum network, the mysterious date that had not yet been decided at the end, the ominous countdown day,
"Wait, maybe they have this string of numbers too. Gu Tie sat up suddenly, the expression on his face changed, "What if...... If this date is really the end of the world, this bastard organization has completely understood the moment when the Final Judgment is coming, and is now using the name of the end times to develop believers, collect finances, and build spaceships and the like to try to avoid meteorite impacts or alien attacks, and then bang, all mankind is destroyed, and they are flying leisurely in a small boat to the distant constellation Centauri...... "In the end, Gu Tie also found that the more he spoke, the more he didn't know how to speak, and slapped himself lightly," Phew, I'm making up stories again, the secrets of the countdown can't be known by other organizations, and this confidence should still be there, so there are two questions, first, why are they looking for me, and second, why are they so afraid of others finding out. β
Gu Tie sat on the ground by himself for a long time, no one was next to him to answer his questions, and suddenly he missed the days when Lao Xiao was by his side, Xiao Li Ping pushed the old-fashioned tortoiseshell-rimmed glasses, and he was sure to be able to jump out of a few accurate explanations of his blind spots,,, although he always described everything as a mysterious arrangement of an organization from the perspective of conspiracy theories, for example, Lao Xiao firmly believed that there were eight strong men with loaded guns squatting in the back kitchen of every Chengdu snack bar in Beijing, ready to respond to the intelligence collected by the Shaxian snack bar and rush into the Lanzhou ramen shop to arrest al-Qaeda members who had infiltrated China, This caused Gu Tie to look nervously at the kitchen every time he ate on the street, and he was relieved to see the dirty and shiny chef.
Gu Tie thought about it for a long time and didn't have a clue, so he wrote a secret letter about what happened today and sent it to Xiao Liping, telling Lao Xiao that there was a strange little Japanese organization that killed people and set fire to him behind his ass, and he had time to check the relevant information, but the premise was that he was absolutely safe, and it was best to knock on the side through official channels and diplomatic methods, and never attract the attention of the other party.
After completing all this, he lay on the ground and was stunned for a while, and the frequent mobilization of critical forces made Gu Tie a little worried, afraid that Genesis would notice the strangeness of this little backdoor thread, this kind of cat-and-mouse game was originally invisible, once the bearer of the quantum network found out, the pure land that Gu Tie relied on for a living would be gently punctured by the quantum computer like a soap bubble, and not even a trace of a drop of soapy water would be left,
But the matter has come to this, no matter what you do, it will not help, Gu Tie is a short-sighted and optimistic guy, he put his doubts aside, tore open the space, left the pure land, wiped his footprints, Before logging out of the network, he checked the security situation within ten kilometers of the current location,,, there was nothing unusual, there were several police cars and fire trucks from Bialystok, driving east along Highway 27, it should have received information about the forest fire danger and went to the rescue, I don't know how big this fire will be, Gu Tie is a little worried about the bearded ranger, even if he doesn't have to go to a military court, this leisurely job can't be saved, but it's a pity that there is a room full of freshly brewed applesauce,
At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and Ed said excitedly outside the door: "Gu Tie, Gu Tie, I just went downstairs to check the motorcycle, and found two cans of applesauce in Harley's storage box, and later remembered that they were going to bring it to Marian Angelesca's parents for the weekend, and we will solve it now." β
Gu Tie just turned off his mobile phone, sat up and rubbed his temples, when he heard the words, he got out of bed and opened the door, the bearded man rushed in with a smile on his face with two large jars of jam like a child, and put the glass jar on the table with two knocks, "When I bring the canned tuna, I also found a bottle of vodka, although it is lemon-flavored Veboroka...... But vodka is vodka after all. β
Gu Tie shook his head with a wry smile, put the pistol hidden behind him back into his trouser pocket, Ed ran out of the door like a gust of wind, returned to the hut with more food, and set up a table in a mess, "Ed, didn't you let you eat first." Gu Tie couldn't help asking, and the bearded man patted him on the shoulder good-naturedly: "If you stay in the forest for a few more days, you won't like a one's dinner anymore, let's talk while drinking." β
Without finding the wine glass, the ranger grabbed two boxes of 400ml canned fish, one box was opened and smelled, as if it had deteriorated, and the whole thing was poured out;
Gu Tie frowned and took the box of vodka with a fishy smell and a layer of brown grease floating on it, "Why don't you drink it directly from the bottle." "He was a little incomprehensible to the aesthetic tastes of the Poles,
"Aren't you Chinese afraid of unhygiene? Ed's eyes widened, "In the past, when I came into contact with the special forces of other countries, many people didn't like the way a bottle of wine was passed around, saying that it would spread diseases or something. β
Gu Tie endured a burst of nausea and looked up and down at the canned fish vodka, feeling that the hygiene problem of this drinking method was much more serious than indirect kissing,,, just now he peeked at it, his canned food was the spoiled box, Gu Tie put down the wine can, and explained dejectedly:" We Chinese even eat a plate of dishes, and everyone's saliva is mixed in that dish through chopsticks, you say that we are not afraid to pass on wine bottles, and you are not going to China, is it not that the Nanjing Military Region has not entertained you with a big pot of rice, but has opened a small stove alone,...... Oh, the visit of the Thundering troops to China, of course, is to open a small stove, rely on ,...... To open a small stove, you have to pick up a plate of vegetables. β
"The colonel was afraid that we would not be accustomed to Chinese food and that diarrhea would affect our combat effectiveness, so he took the chef over and spent seven days cooking Polish food in the Chinese field kitchen. Ed replied with a sad face, "So what now." β
"What else can I do, drink. Gu Tie was ruthless, picked up the iron box and gestured: "Cheers." Raising his head and grunting twice, the smell of alcohol, lemon and spoiled canned tuna started a brutal melee in his mouth, Gu Tie covered his mouth, his eyes widened, and he silently thought in his heart: can't spit out, can't spit out, can't spit out...... Spit is disrespectful to Polish comrades-in-arms...... His pupils were dilated due to his excessive concentration, and a trickle of vodka seeped out of his left nostril uncontrollably, leaving Ed stunned.
Goodong,
Finally, Gu Tie's throat relaxed, swallowed the wine into his stomach, opened his mouth and burped his stinky wine, then chewed his mouth twice, and spit out a piece of fish bone,
"In retrospect, it's not bad. Gu Tie raised his thumb with a dull look,
The bearded man was a little puzzled by the strange behavior of his Chinese comrades-in-arms, but five seconds later, the ranger who had drunk a big sip of wine was hit by the same pain, he held his breath, his cheeks bulged high, and his big face turned red, Gu Tie grabbed his mobile phone with a trembling hand and looked at the time: "Lao Ai, hold on for thirty seconds and you will win, theoretically speaking, people's sense of taste is easy to be deceived, and after thirty seconds you won't be able to taste rotten tuna,...... Damn, by the way, your tuna isn't rotten. β
But he overestimated Ed's adaptability, and underestimated the endurance of the veteran special forces, and this vodka stayed in Ed's mouth for three minutes, during which the bearded man did not change his breath once, and his eyeballs bulged out of his sockets.
"Hero. Gu Tie praised, picked up the can and took a sip of wine to moisten his throat, this time he was unprepared for the trick, and almost squirted out with today's lunch,
Finally, the bearded man swallowed the wine with difficulty, took a deep breath, and squeezed out two words from between his teeth: "Good wine." β
"Good wine, isn't it? Holding the glass jar and digging up a lump of jam and putting it into his mouth to suppress the evil smell, Gu Tie became interested, "Then let's play a game from now on, let's take turns asking questions, and if the other party can't answer anyone's question, take a sip of wine." β
"That's not going to work. Ed is much more shrewd than his seemingly honest appearance, "If you ask the question of 'how many stars are there in the sky?' whoever can answer it will know that you Chinese are the most calculating, hum." β
Gu Tie thought for a while, "In this way, we can only ask questions about each other's past, talk about the past, and there will be no questions that can't be answered." β
"If you can answer it, who will drink? The bearded man once again pointed out the loopholes in his words,
"Do you have fun? Gu Tie yelled angrily, and Ed hurriedly expressed his submission, "Then I'll ask first." Gu Tie licked the applesauce on his fingers, "What was your identity when you served in the Thundering Army." β
The Thundering Force is a special force composed of several four-person squads, Gu Tie asked because he wanted to know the role Ed played in the squad, this partner who had just met for a short time impressed him with his agility and toughness, Gu Tie was very interested in knowing more about him,
The bearded man hesitated when he heard this question, picked up the tin box and weighed it left and right, and finally lost to the threat of tuna vodka: "Well, although there is a confidentiality agreement after retirement, the colonel should not shoot me for a small chat,...... I'm a sniper from the Gromt-12 squad. β
It's actually a sniper, Gu Tie looked at this rough-looking guy again, the sniper who uses a large double-barreled shotgun to fight guerrilla warfare is different, compared to the Italian Joe in the Shiva elite squad looks like a textbook sniper model,
"T-12 is the number of the squad, what does T mean. Gu Tie asked,
Ed, not deceived, raised his finger and said, "The first question is over, now let me ask you,...... Who the hell are you? β
There is still a little distrust in the bearded eyes, this is because the Chinese who appear as a shipwrecked tourist have changed in a 180-degree turn, one moment they are embarrassed like a beggar, the next moment a large number of pursuers appear, and they take out a small pistol to take out well-armed enemies, this is simply the plot of the TV series,
"What am I, I'm Gu Tie, my real name and surname, not a pen name, not a stage name. Gu Tie replied honestly, knowing that the other party could see from his eyes that he was not lying, "I am an unemployed vagrant now, I don't know who those Japanese devils with rifles are, really." He added that there is no word "Japanese devil" in the international language, and Gu Tie said that it is "Japanese ghost".
"Why ghosts. Ed didn't understand, and asked suspiciously,
"That's the next question. Gu Tie laughed, "Now answer me, what does the T of the T-12 mean." β
Ed sighed, looked around vigilantly, and lowered his voice: "T is the meaning of overseas troops, among the nearly 70 squads of the Thundering Force, 12 of them are dedicated to overseas missions, and our squad is one of them, you know, the financial situation of the Polish government has been very bad, in order to subsidize the military expenses of the Polish Army, 12 Thundering squads undertake various mercenary tasks around the world, from assassination, cleanup to defense, escort, we have a very good reputation, of course, not to' The name of Thundering' appeared on the international mercenary market. β
This answer surprised Gu Tie: "Poland is so poor that the United Nations will know about it, but it's a big joke." β
Ed shook his head, unwilling to say any more, he dug a spoonful of jam into his mouth and asked, "What is the purpose of your visit to Poland?" β
Gu Tie scratched his head and decided to tell the truth: "That's it, I used to spend a good night in Belarus with a very touching young lady,,, my Natalia, I don't know what happened to her now, suddenly a crazy Japanese rushed in and knocked me down, stuffed me into a speeding train, ready to be transported to Warsaw, I woke up and jumped out of the car and fled, and then I met you, as for why I came to Poland...... How do I know, ask that Japanese madman to go. β
The bearded man opened his mouth wide in unacceptable, "Believe it or not." Gu Tie added angrily, took out the check with many zeros on it from his arms and handed it to the other party, "This is compensation for you, originally to thank you for lunch, but now it seems that even your wooden house has been compensated." β
Ed took the check, counted the zeros with his thick fingers, and looked up with a shocked expression: "Who the hell are you?" β
"I said I was Gu Tie. The Chinese said irritably, "It's time for me to ask, what was the content of your last mission before retirement." β
This is a question that Gu Tie has always pressed in his heart, it is impossible for elite special forces members to retire in obscurity in the forest after retirement, and the hatred of Ed and his fiancΓ©e Marlene against GTC is also worth studying, there must be a story in this,
Sure enough, as soon as he heard this, the bearded man immediately picked up the iron box and drank a big sip of wine.
