Chapter 342: Self-Inflicted Cleverness
"Kiel, speed up."
“OK。” Kiel pushed the putter to the limit.
The engine accelerated to drive the propeller, and the two-hundred-ton dinghy raced at a speed of 22 knots toward the coastline of the Sand Kingdom.
Chelsea, who is obviously a thief, also knows that Homo sapiens is not easy to mess with.
The other side.
On the surface of the sea in the midst of a raging fire.
The five soldiers who had just been blown away had sunk into the sea.
Inside the exoskeleton at the bottom of the sea, the appearance of those "soldiers" is melting away little by little, revealing the mechanical parts inside.
And the patrol ship that overturned and sank, the soldiers inside, their bodies were melting little by little at the same time.
Twenty minutes later, three patrol ships rushed to the rescue and came to the blazing sea.
Susan, wearing sunglasses, stood on the bow of the boat against the salty sea breeze.
"It's a good fireworks show."
The person in charge of the patrol ship asked in a low voice, "Team Leader Su, the signal of the No. 6 patrol ship has been detected." ”
"Then let's start salvage!"
"Okay."
More than a dozen soldiers wearing diving exoskeletons quickly jumped out of the sea and dived to the position of the sunken patrol ship No. 6.
Although the water depth in this area is between 200~1000 meters, this depth is not difficult for new human soldiers equipped with biological exoskeletons.
Through the pheromone launchers on the patrol ship, a dozen soldiers were able to easily determine the exact location of the sunk.
In the gloomy seabed, the hull of the newly sunken patrol ship, built using new materials and integrated manufacturing technology, has not been blown apart by 15 tons of TNT, and the hull and various facilities inside the hull are basically intact.
Re-marked, several additional pheromone transmitters were installed, and the soldiers removed the black boxes from the cabin where the data was stored.
Then they quickly evacuated.
Return to the surface of the sea and hand the black box to Susan.
Susan glanced at the black box, and an inexplicable smile appeared on her face: "Okay, leave two patrol ships here to continue the search, and we will return to Hongku Port immediately." ”
"No problem."
……
Meanwhile.
Chelsea, in the cabin of the dinghy, was checking the satellite surveillance footage of the headquarters through satellite communications.
Just now, three keyhole satellites passed over the Red Sea and captured images of the area around the explosion site.
Now Chelsea are reviewing the numbers and he's zooming in.
Looking at the picture, the fishing boat and the patrol ship meet, the Homo sapiens soldiers get on the fishing boat to check, and then the fishing boat explodes, followed by the sinking of the fishing boat and the patrol ship.
The next step was for the port of Hongku to send a rescue to search the area of the explosion, and he also saw one of the patrol ships on it, sending a dozen divers into the sea.
Twenty minutes later, the divers resurfaced, and then the patrol ship returned to the port of Hongku.
Through this series of images, Chelsea got the information he wanted, and he watched the explosion:
Sure enough, this time it was not discovered by the field support department of Homo sapiens, that is, our intelligence was not leaked. ’
Suddenly, a text message popped up on his internal communication phone, which only had numbers and English characters, and it took Chelsea a few minutes to decipher the message.
Looking at the contents of the paper, he fell silent.
[Persian Gulf-Lavan mission successful; Yemen – Mukala mission failed; …… ]
There are a total of 7 tasks, corresponding to 7 executives of the West Asian Black Ship, the South Asian Black Ship, the East African Black Ship and the South African Black Ship.
Four missions succeeded, three failed.
Know that these tasks are single-line tasks.
Now that there is a mission failure, it means that three of the lines have been infiltrated, especially since he deliberately asked Howard to ask the other party to ask those supervisors to find someone to carry out the task in person.
'McDonald, Kim Philip, David Cole......' Chelsea had these names in his mind, and while he wasn't entirely sure, he had put them on his list of key suspicions.
Four hours later.
In the west coast city of Hanaik, a small yacht slowly docks at the local marina in the west coast city of the sand kingdom at sunset.
Chelsea and Kiel abandoned their yacht and immediately took a car to Yanbu, a large city in the western part of the Sand Kingdom, under a false identity that had been prepared in advance.
The reason why they are so cautious is because they know that the Hongku Port incident will not be hidden for long.
America has keyhole satellites, and Homo sapiens also has a large number of spy satellites in low-earth orbit.
In other words, the picture of them driving a small yacht away from the fishing boat will soon be discovered by Homo sapiens, and if they don't run away now, when the Homo sapiens company finds them, they will definitely die without a place to be buried.
Stimulated by the desire to survive, the 173-kilometer distance between Hanak and Yanbu, Kiel drove the jeep to the vicinity of Yanbu Airport in just 47 minutes.
Immediately, through a special relationship, I bought a ticket to Cape Town, South Africa at Yanbu Airport.
The moment they got on the plane, Chelsea and Kiel breathed a sigh of relief.
The pressure of fighting against Homo sapiens is unimaginable, after all, the field service department of Homo sapiens is notoriously ruthless and weird in the world's major intelligence organizations.
Even if he is a high-ranking agent of the Black Ship, the Field Support Department will not show mercy or scruples about it.
Meanwhile.
South Africa.
Cape Town.
At this time, the regional center of the African Black Ship was set up in this city.
In the office building with the sign of "Cape of Good Hope Trading Company", Howard, as the Governor General of Africa, also received a report on the seven operational missions.
He looked at the report in his hand, with a solemn expression on his face: "Is there really a problem with them?" No, it's just a mission, and I can't be completely sure. ”
Howard kneading the pen with his fingers, his sharp gaze flashing with various calculations.
Obviously, this Chelsea temptation has brought a very serious crisis of confidence within the Black Ship, although many executives have worked for the Black Ship for decades, but seniority does not mean loyalty.
Especially recently, under the successive intelligence leaks, the Black Ship Headquarters has been anxious.
If you don't investigate, the intelligence continues to leak, and many operations are played around by the field support department of Homo sapiens.
Investigation will also endanger everyone inside and affect all work.
However, Chelsea's tentative action gave Howard a very good idea, that is, to use the members of the major families of the council to use the members of these council families as the base point for bait fishing.
Now he has preliminarily screened out three suspected executives.
However, Howard, who has worked in the intelligence community for decades, did not jump to conclusions all at once.
If those three missions just happen to go wrong, they will kill their own people by mistake.
Howard quickly came up with a solution: 'It seems that another temptation must be made. ’
Since you can't be sure once, let's do it again, if there is still a problem with this mission, then there must be something wrong with these people.
In North America, Pete Mellon is thinking the same way, and he has already planned to let Chelsea arrange another test, even if it will cost hundreds of millions of dollars for it.
After all, compared to those beautiful knives, the security of intelligence is the key, and this is related to the lives of their major families, so he can't ignore it.
As soon as he stepped off the plane, Chelsea received a special order from Pite Mellon, recognising his merits and asking him to continue his efforts to find out the Homo sapiens pieces inside the black ship.
An invisible bloody storm officially set off inside the black ship.
