Chapter 80 Occupation
Li Zhen hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, and waved his hand to Kitagawa Kyuki behind him: "Let's go."
There was indeed an inconspicuous van parked downstairs of the small hotel. Three people came to pick them up, and there were three people in the car except the driver. They all looked very capable and expressionless. After they got into the car, they first talked to him. The middle-aged man immediately said, "Go."
So the car started.
Li Zhen took the time to observe the six people he could see—the waist was slightly bulging, and the shape was indeed Geng Six pistol. But there was no obvious feature except that—the neck was covered tightly with a puncture vest. The person who spoke was a middle-aged man with a rosacea. He sat opposite Li Zhen and grinned: "Major, I am Xu Zhiheng. Sorry, I'm late."
Li Zhen nodded slightly: "Please trouble you. Did you... you just learned the news?"
"At first, someone reported that we met you two at the dock, and we received a briefing. Then we kept searching for it, and we found out your whereabouts two minutes ago - you didn't disguise at that time." Xu Zhiheng said, "After the wanted order was issued, the dean sent us to the Philippines and Indonesia in two groups, waiting to pick you up."
"How did you know I'm in this area?"
"That plane - someone photographed you on the plane. So we thought you should be in a nearby area. In fact, we have our people on Taiwan and the coast. I'm lucky and took the lead."
Li Zhen smiled and said, "What are the arrangements next?"
"You can't go back for the time being. We will send you to a safe place first, and then find a way to contact the dean. But this matter is more difficult." Xu Zhiheng spread his hands, "The dean's situation is not good now. So we can only try our best to save ourselves."
Li Zhen asked in a deep voice: "How to save yourself?"
"Prepare the relevant evidence and materials. This time... you completely annoyed the Japanese military. It is said that a person was missing from the Inspectorate Office - they suspected that it was you. At the cabinet meeting, someone impeached the Chief and the President, saying that the Northern Base was conspiring to treason with the Xinshe... They are in a bad situation at the moment, so the Southern Base has taken over the matter of various types. The most important thing is that everyone wants to know - what have you deal with the egg in Chiyan volcano?"
Li Zhen thought for a while and whispered: "This is the core issue."
"That's right. In fact, as long as the egg is in your hands, we will have room for mediation." Xu Zhiheng said in a deep voice.
Li Zhen didn't say anything, but was slightly silent for a while, looking at the other people who didn't say a word: "Who else knows about this matter in the Philippines, except you and your informants?"
"Only us." Xu Zhiheng said.
"Yes." Li Zhen nodded.
He then changed the subject: "How is Mexico?"
Xu Zhiheng was slightly stunned, but could only continue, "The battle situation was not optimistic. There was a species that seemed to have awakened. Its code name was 'Lucif' - the night you were in Japan it almost destroyed Mexico City, and nearly one million people in the city were infected-"
"alienation?"
"...Yes, alienation. The nearby garrison used a tactical nuclear bomb, but it had little effect. After that, more than one million people were alienated occupied the entire city and expanded everywhere. Now it was controlled by it from Mexico City to Manzanillo on the Pacific coast. The U.S. Army and Navy then blocked the border, but it could not stop it at that time. I don't know what the situation is now. The Chinese Navy's Pacific Fleet rushed to help evacuate the expatriates the next day. At that time, the species launched another attack and we lost two aircraft carriers."
"What about now?"
"Now the offensive has stopped temporarily. It is not clear what is the reason. It may also be that it is accumulating strength. But it can be considered... the entire territory of Mexico has fallen."
Li Zhen nodded: "Okay. Thank you. Do you carry cash with you?"
Xu Zhiheng was stunned: "What did you say?"
"Cash. It's better to be gold yuan, is there?" Li Zhen smiled, "I was afraid of being poor when I was a child. I felt uneasy when I had no money."
A strange look appeared on the faces of the other people. However, Li Zhen looked at Xu Zhiheng's eyes with a smile. He had to smile a little awkwardly: "Uh, hehe, I brought it. How much do you want?"
"Of course the more, the better." Li Zhenyi grinned, "Just treat you as prepaid action funds."
Xu Zhiheng frowned slightly, but still reached out to take out some gold coins in his pocket, took out some gold coins and handed them to Li Zhen: "This is fifty yuan, is it enough?"
Li Zhen clicked and looked at the other people: "A little more - it would be even better."
Kitagawa Harumaki pursed his lips tightly and said nothing.
Xu Zhiheng shouted: "Why are you standing there? Who still brought the money?"
The other few people also took out money in different expressions - there were gold yuan and Filipino goods, and they all dealt with Xu Zhiheng. Xu Zhiheng gave Li Zhen all the money: "That's all."
"Um... more than three hundred. It's still done." Li Zhen carefully put the money into his pocket and smiled, "Thank you for your hard work. In fact, I almost got cheated by you."
Xu Zhiheng's expression froze on his face, and then he frowned: "Major, what did you say? Are you still doubting us?"
"I ask you who else knows I'm here, you said there is no one. In fact, there is a real executive officer - the local dispatch agency. I saw him before meeting you. Why didn't the command center send you a briefing?"
Xu Zhiheng grinned: "It's true that there is no. Or he hasn't had time to report it."
"Oh." Li Zhen nodded, "Then why do you say 'Chinese Navy' instead of 'Imperial Navy'? The difference is so far away - just a word? Of course, I think the strangest thing is why when you mentioned that the entire territory of Mexico fell... although your face looked quite uneasy, the corners of your mouth were slightly raised?"
Xu Zhiheng subconsciously raised his hand to touch his mouth, but immediately put it down.
"You can't control this kind of micro-expression." Li Zhen said lightly, "Actually you are very happy. In addition-" he pointed to a person next to Xu Zhiheng, "The executive cannot have a tattoo on his body. What's the matter with the thing exposed under his collar? Maybe you should wear a high-neck next time. So let me guess - are you from the Gate of Truth?"
Xu Zhiheng slowly lowered his face and sneered: "You are indeed very smart. Yes, we are the gate of truth. But you are no longer allowed - or you are not afraid of conventional weapons such as guns, but the one around you-"
He pointed to Kitankawa Haruki: "She is afraid. As far as I know, she is not the king of ice, snow and wind. At present, there are thirteen muzzles under my seat. Inside the muzzle are armor-piercing bullets - considering your physical fitness, we are equipped with individual soldiers using depleted uranium armor-piercing bullets. You can't escape such a distance."
Li Zhen nodded: "I can't hide it. So I don't plan to hide. But those two sentences before... where did you know?"
"Nothing can be told." Xu Zhiheng said sternly.
"It looks like... there is an insider in the base." Li Zhen rubbed his forehead, "You guys stretched out their hands so far. When he was in Shennongjia, that insider was making trouble, right?"
"You can guess, but I won't say it." Xu Zhiheng hummed.
"You are not broad enough - but I just expose it to this expression." Li Zhen said with a smile, "Actually, we can have a good chat. Anyway, it seems that we have to walk for a while. Yu Qingqing is also in your hands - have you never thought about using her to exchange for that egg with me?"
Xu Zhiheng was obviously not the kind of mindless reckless man, but instead asked with a sneer: "Will you change it?"
"How do you know if you don't try?"
The other party thought about it and asked again: "So will you change it?"
"Of course not to change! Can I still expect you to keep your promises? You must know that you are 'unvirtuous and untrustworthy' Americans - hahaha." Li Zhen laughed.
After being fooled, Xu Zhiheng looked very unhappy. He groaned: "When you suffer."
Li Zhen immediately restrained his smile.
The carriage was silent, and the van drove out of the city. Large areas of farmland and woods appeared on both sides, and several farmers working in the fields. It was already five o'clock in the afternoon. If it was in Pingyang, it would be dark. However, in the Philippines, the sun still refused to set.
The road was bumpy. Li Zhen glanced at Kitagawa Qingming - she was calm as usual, blinked at herself and closed her slightly.
Li Zhen coughed and said again, "Have Ueno Guanliu gone back? Or is it that someone has not been found?"
Xu Zhiheng didn't say anything.
Li Zhen carefully observed his expression, then turned to ask Kitagawa Harumaki: "Do you want to sleep for a while?"
Xu Zhiheng only glanced up at Beichuan, but still didn't say anything.
So Li Zhen breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
They don't know. They really don't know-
The King of Ice and Snow and Wind will appear after this one fell asleep, and Ueno Guanliu should be clear. However, Li Zhen guessed that such things could not be even clear about any thug at the Gate of Truth. The thing that the upper class likes to do is to keep certain important information confidential for various reasons.
On the one hand, it ensures that they are mysterious and authoritative, but on the other hand...
Just like now, Xu Zhiheng did not react particularly fiercely to what he said just now.
In fact, Kitagawa reminded him in the blink of an eye - what she was hinting at. It seemed that she was sure that these people would not know. Or, Ueno Kanryu also learned her secret recently, and will it still be time to report it?
What a good luck.
Kitagawa Kyuami naturally knew what he was hinting at. So he whispered: "Well, I'll sleep for a while and I'm very tired."
Xu Zhiheng curled his lips.
Kitakawa leaned his head against Li Zhen's shoulder and closed his eyes.
This action seemed to be unthreatening to them, so no one spoke. But Li Zhen could feel that Beichuan was oozing sweat from his hand holding his hand - this personality seemed to be the first time he faced this situation, and he seemed a little nervous. So he patted the back of the other party's hand, and then slapped his body slightly to make her lean more comfortable.
Time passed by minute by minute, but normal people obviously couldn't fall asleep peacefully in this situation. Beichuan's hand was still tightly clenched, moving from time to time to remind Li Zhen that he was still awake. He had to wait patiently-
Because individual soldiers use depleted uranium armor-piercing bombs...
It's really difficult.
It's okay to say that the armor is broken, but that kind of radioactive pollution is difficult to deal with. He has never tried whether he can heal himself quickly under those extreme conditions, and he is not sure that he can destroy all the things under the other party's seat as soon as possible. He is not a fool, and he will definitely not believe that just because the other party said "there are thirteen guns under the seat", but he really believes that only "there are thirteen guns under the seat". According to the behavioral style of those lunatics in the Gate of Truth, even if he told him that a small nuclear bomb was loaded in the car, Li Zhen would seriously consider it.
After more than ten minutes, the car drove onto a country road. A row of low bungalows could be seen from a distance, hidden in a continuous cluster of banana trees.
Kitagawa's hand relaxed slightly. Li Zhen tried to tighten it, but the other party did not respond at all.
So a smile flashed across the corner of his mouth, and he waited patiently for a while before whispering, "How do you know that she is not the King of Ice and Snow and Wind now?"
Xu Zhiheng turned his head and looked far ahead, as if he was a little relieved. He didn't plan to take care of Li Zhen at first - he was still worried about the money he had cheated on him and these people before. But he couldn't stretch out his hand and said, "Repay the money and give it back to me!"
But seeing that the camp was right in front of him and the two were still sitting honestly, he relaxed his vigilance a little and snorted: "The Ice King is not like this."
"Then you are not curious about how she became the Ice King?"
Xu Zhiheng was stunned, and then said mockingly: "Anyway, it won't be like sleeping, and you will become the Ice King."
Li Zhen laughed. He felt Beichuan's hand tighten slightly.
So he said again: "You are a little confident. Or you really just sleep and change your body, and then kill all of you guys who are "Gate of Truth"?"
Xu Zhiheng said, "You can be quieter. There will be a big gift for you later-it will let you know that in the face of the power of the Lord, you so-called kings are just reptiles."
"He's right. You're indeed a little confident."
A female voice rang. Kitagawa Kyuami raised his head from Li Zhen's shoulder and let out a slight sigh: "Are these people from the Gate of Truth?"
Li Zhen shrugged: "Well. They also said there was a killer under the seat opposite us - maybe there was a nuclear bomb in the car, how do you deal with it?"
Xu Zhiheng looked at the two people suspiciously and stretched his hand under the seat: "What are you doing?"
But Kitagawa Kyuami ignored him and smiled slightly at Li Zhen: "You've bet right. It's true that I told Ueno Kanryu a few days ago when I came to Japan. In addition, I always told him that if I wanted to exert the true power of the Ice King, I would have to go through a long and painful process - this means that I would have insomnia. But how did she do it? She fell asleep so quickly?"
"She is almost an ordinary person - no matter what, you all share a body. After flying supersonics for so long, will you not be tired?" Li Zhen snapped his fingers happily, "Do it. I'll go and see what this person just mentioned, "The Power of the Lord" is." (To be continued. Please search for Astronomy, the novel is better, updated and faster!)
