Chapter 274: The Harvest of Puji Tailai
Yang Hui and Lyle are looking for a needle in a haystack in the desert, aimlessly searching for Cagalli's whereabouts.
"No, Yang Hui, let's look for it like this?"
"Or else? Uzmi, that old bastard, told me that in the desert region of North Africa, nothing else was said. β
"Don't we have our own intelligence network?"
"Alas......" It's okay not to mention it, but Yang Hui has a headache when he mentions his intelligence network, "...... Our intelligence network is not yet perfect, and we are short of manpower, so we can only scatter and focus on key targets, Cagalli ...... Not in this range. β
"Are you serious?" Lyle raised an eyebrow.
Cagalli is the daughter of Uzmi, the most noble little princess on Obmin's face, you tell me it doesn't matter?
"Who knows if this girl will remember to eat or not." Yang Hui covered his face and was depressed.
I thought that Cagalli had been taught and educated by him since she was a child, and she would be more well-behaved when she grew up, and she was really short of manpower at that time, and considering that Uzmi would also arrange bodyguards to take care of her, she was eliminated from the observation target, after all, the information of the Earth Union and PLANT is much more important than Cagalli, a girl who loves to mess around.
Originally, South Africa and North Africa had intelligence networks distributed, but a few days ago, Victoria Harbor was occupied by the ZAFT Army, and the ZAFT Army became more and more rampant, directly defeating the Earth Army stationed in South Africa, and all friendly troops withdrew, leaving only the South African Unified Agency and the local resistance groups still resisting, and even the high-level leaders of the same South African organization have fled from their territory.
This kind of intelligence network was paralyzed for a while, and it was impossible to contact it at all.
This is the next problem that Wang Liumei will solve, who knows...... Before they could solve it, Yang Hui and Lyle came to North Africa.
"Then you say, what should we do, we can't keep looking like this, right? There's not enough time. Lyle complained.
ββ¦β¦ Go to the nearest town, you need to have food and water, and see if you can find your own people. "Yang Hui is also very helpless, he can only find a place where there are people first to better listen to the information.
"That's all there is to it." Lyle sighed, originally thinking of following Yang Hui to carry out the task, whether it was using his brain or hands, with Yang Hui here, it would be a lot easier, and the result was ......
Alas, it's not well thought out.
According to the satellite navigation, Yang Hui and Lyle came to the nearest town, which is a village and town built in the canyon - Tasir, although the conditions are very difficult, but the faces of the people here have sincere smiles, it can be seen that it is a group of simple villagers, but ...... It seems to be a bit xenophobic.
"Who are you?" Before entering the village, he was pointed at gunpoint, Yang Hui and Lyle were speechless again, especially Yang Hui, who scolded Cagalli in his heart, and it would be no good to have a relationship with her!
"We're just passing travelers, wanting to get some food and water in town." Yang Hui explained as gently as possible.
"Traveler? This kind of place? The villagers looked at each other and did not put down their guns, "Who are you fooling?" This neighborhood has long been occupied by the ZAFT, and our village is so remote, how can there be travelers passing by? You're a ZAFT spy, aren't you? β
"We're not ZAFT spies, we're really just passing by......" Yang Hui tried his best to keep his mind calm, but because he had no choice but to take on an errand, he was roasted by the sun in the desert for an afternoon, and he was pointed at a gun by others, so he was inevitably a little upset and irritable.
"Nonsense! You guys must be ZAFT spies, get out! β
"That's right, get out! Get out of our village! β
"Well, well, let's go." Yang Hui didn't want to make a big deal about it, when he checked the map before, he found that other towns were not far away, and it only took two hours to drive, so he simply chose to leave.
As a result, Yang Hui and Lyle were about to get into the car when an old voice stopped them: "Please wait a minute! β
"Huh?"
"Elder?"
"It's the Elder here!"
"Elder, the spies who discovered ZAFT ......"
"Shut up! Put your guns away! You almost hurt our most honored guest! The elder scolded.
"Huh?" XN
Not only the few young men with guns, but even Yang Hui and Lyle were stunned, they didn't remember any interaction with this old man, and they didn't think that the elders of this kind of village would know their identities.
"Who are you?" Yang Hui asked.
"May I ask if it's Mr. Yang Hui, Miss Wang Liumei's fiancΓ©."
"Do you know Rumi?" Yang Hui asked in surprise.
"Ho ho, it's really you, it seems that the old eyes can recognize people, please follow me into the village first."
"......" Yang Hui and Lyle glanced at each other, and did not follow the elder, everything that happened was too strange, there were only two people, no backup, and no body, so they didn't dare to take risks.
The elder saw the caution and worry of the two, and said to Yang Hui: "Heavenly man. β
Hearing this, Yang Hui and Lyle's faces changed, and they quickly returned to normal, put down all their guards, and followed the elder into the village.
Walking all the way, they came to the elder's house, and the two looked around, and found no one else hidden in the very simple sand house, so they put down their hearts and asked about the doubts in their hearts.
"You are ......"
"Your Excellency Yang Hui, Lao Yu is the person in charge of the [Heavenly Man] in North Africa."
"Huh!?" Yang Hui and Lyle were stunned.
"Please wait a moment."
Immediately, the elder walked into the back room, and after a sound of rummaging through the cabinets, he came out again, with a special metal badge in his hand.
"It's proof."
The round emblem is divided into three colors, the outermost part is copper-brown, the inner is silver, and in the center is a golden symbol of the [Celestial] organization, and the symbol is based on a pair of overlapping white wings.
"Well, it's indeed the identity of the [Celestial], but you'...... How could it be ......"
After confirming the identity of the other party, Yang Hui and Lyle relaxed, but their expressions became more weird.
"Actually, not only the old man, but the whole village is a member of the [Heavenly People], the old man is just the person in charge, three years ago, the village was not here, but in the desert not far away, that year there were frequent sandstorms, and it didn't rain for a long time, whether it was water or food, it was not for Miss Wang's coincidental arrival, all of us would be finished.
At that time, Miss Wang not only bought enough food and water from nearby towns at a high price, but also helped the whole village to complete the migration, which was a grace for us, so we wanted to repay Miss Wang, but we couldn't get anything, and we felt very guilty.
As a result, Humayi's child overheard Miss Wang recruiting people to develop the content of the intelligence network, and the child came to tell me, and then I found Miss Wang and became the head of the North Africa region. β
"This ......" Yang Hui and Lyle heard it, and felt very bloody, the people in the intelligence organization, they have still seen several of them, although they don't say how professional they are, but they are definitely young and strong young men, what does Wang Liumei think? actually let an old man become the head of intelligence in North Africa, and ...... And abducted the whole village!
"Ho ho ho, Your Excellency Yang Hui, are you wondering why Miss Wang chose me as the person in charge?"
ββ¦β¦ Well. On this one question, the doubts in Yang Hui's heart were dispelled, and the person who could see through his thoughts was not an ordinary character.
"Don't look old and old, but there is still some prestige in this region of North Africa, unlike big cities, the villages in the desert have connections with each other, and everyone helps each other to live in this desert, so the old people's connections are all over this desert area, and the young people in the village obey me as an old guy, plus the old man never goes out to listen to information in person, and age is also the best cover, so Miss Wang chose me as the person in charge."
ββ¦β¦ I see, thank you very much for your help. β
These reasons make it impossible to find mistakes, but Yang Hui silently added two more in his heart, that is, careful thinking and accurate judgment.
"Then I'll go straight to the point, Elder, the first question, why can't I reach you?"
"The head of the ZAFT army in North Africa is Andre Bartfield, known as the [Desert Tiger], is a very cautious person, from the moment North Africa was occupied, he sent people to spread powerful jammers everywhere in the desert, with the intention of cutting off all electronic signals, originally we were close to the edge of the occupied area, and the impact was not too great, but you already know what happened a few days ago."
"The Fall of Victoria Harbour."
"That's right, Victoria Harbour fell, and the [Desert Tigers] also took advantage of this wind to launch an attack on the territory of the Unitary Institutions of South Africa, expanding the occupied area, and then performing the same action, so the communication was cut off."
"I see, I know, in this case, I will give you the latest instructions on behalf of Wang Liumei, and the intelligence network in North Africa will cease all activities and be on standby silently after the final mission is carried out."
"But ......"
"I've read Andre Bartfield's intelligence carefully, he's a man to be reckoned with, and it's hard not to be discovered if you take any action, and North Africa doesn't need our attention right now, so there's no need for you to take risks."
ββ¦β¦ Lao Yu understood, it was just Miss Wang's kindness...... Alas. β
"Elder, please don't misunderstand Rumi, she helped you, she didn't want you to repay the favor and put you in danger."
ββ¦β¦ Good. β
"Then the second question is also the final task," said Yang Hui, who took out a photo from his arms and put it in front of the elder, "This person, find her." β
"Huh?" Seeing the photo, the elder's expression became strange.
"What? Have you seen it? β
"I've seen it, I've seen it, you're looking for her...... Can I help you? β
"Looks like you know her."
"Yes, a warm-hearted, kind girl who helped us a lot."
"What's her name? Where are you now? β
"Her name is Cagalli Jura, and now ...... Should be at the Desert Dawn's station. β
"[Dawn of the Desert]? That armed resistance? Was it built by your people? Yang Hui was stunned for a moment and asked.
"Yes...... Yes. The elder was embarrassed, thinking of what Yang Hui said before that they should be silent and wait, and he promised to be good, but now that the armed resistance has been exposed, isn't this a clear disobedience to the order?
"Smack~!"
Yang Hui slapped himself in the face, and even Lyle rolled his eyes depressedly, and scolded in his heart: "That stupid girl~!! β
