(Two-in-one update. There will be another chapter in half an hour to make up for yesterday’s update)

Darkness breeds light, but light turns away from darkness. Curse the darkness. Goethe's "Faust"

Moscow time on August 2 at 10:30 am.

At this moment, K20 has already traveled to Birm, which is still more than five hours away from Yekaterinburg. There are still six hours before the departure of 240 directly to Caoxian County via the Trans-Siberian Railway.

Li Jiting walked out of the hotel door, gave a generous tip to the parking boy who had been waiting for a while, then directly got into the Audi car parked at the main entrance, and quickly drove out of the Radisson Royal Hotel, a classic Soviet tower-style building.

Under the blue sky and white clouds, the Moskva River is sparkling in the sun, and futuristic sightseeing boats are rafting along it.

The black Audi traveled upstream along the Moskva River, heading towards the Moscow Embassy District that was once called Lenin Hill.

At this time, Li Jiting's cell phone rang. Li Jiting grabbed the steering wheel with one hand and took out the vibrating cell phone from his pocket with the other hand. He looked at the six-digit phone number and pressed answer. His "Hello"

"Before I could say anything, I heard people yelling, "Team Leader Li! Do you still have the organizational discipline to not report major actions? Now the Russian side has submitted a note to us, asking us to explain as soon as possible."

"I said, Lao Zhang, are you so angry early in the morning? You have no place to vent your anger when you wake up? It must be just an ordinary note. You can just fool the bear and do Tai Chi. Aren't you the best at this?

"Li Jiting said with a smile without any concern.

"Are Russians so easy to fool? How about you become this great historian?" The person opposite was still angry.

"Lao Zhang, trust me. It's not a matter of great importance. I won't make any arbitrary decisions! I guarantee it with my personal integrity!"

"You said, let's see what earth-shattering thing you have done? Germany and France came to the door together, and now even the Russians know that we took trade secrets from EADS!"

"I also talk about organizational discipline. It's not convenient to talk about this matter at the moment. In short, it is a good thing, an incredible good thing!"

The anger on the other end of the phone immediately dissipated, and his tone was very calm, "Okay, since you said so, I won't hold you responsible for the time being, but I will report it to the superiors. Don't think that I will take the blame for you.

"

"I got it! I'll treat you to a drink when I get back! Maotai in the 1980s had enough control."

"This is just like a human saying. Is there anyone who needs help? Have the comrades lurking in Europe returned safely?"

"In order to prevent the other party from finding out at the first time, they did not come back and stayed in Germany." Li Jiting stopped joking and said seriously: "I hope we can have 'chips' here to exchange the people back!"

"Forget it, don't ask! If you need anything, just mention it. What I can do for the time being is to help you keep the Russians back first. But if the thing is really important, the Germans and French will not just forget it like this.

Yes, the Russians are also very ambiguous and may turn a blind eye."

"Yeah! I understand. Don't worry! I can handle it."

"Pay attention to safety." The person named Lao Zhang warned.

"I know, I owe you this time!" After saying that, Li Jiting hung up the confidential phone and continued driving attentively 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. About four or five kilometers away from where he parked his car, there was an extremely eye-catching building, a huge ice bucket-shaped gray cement building with jagged tops. It was surrounded by wilderness.

Without any shelter, this building is like a rocket stuck upside down on the earth.

It is ostensibly called the National Robotics Research Institute of the Russian Federation, and its stated main focus is on spacecraft and military robots. Because of its strange shape, like a tulip bud without opening, it is locally called a white tulip.

It seems that the whole place is unobstructed, and there doesn't seem to be a single checkpoint. But in fact, it is a military center with countless advanced weapons hidden around it. It is difficult for ordinary people to get close to it, and even drones and the like are impossible to fly.

Let's go and find out. Not to mention drones, even carriers are unlikely to break through its defenses and get close easily.

Li Jiting got out of the car and looked at this familiar building from a distance. With his amazing eyesight, he could see the golden sunflower logo printed on the top of the building.

That's right, this is the headquarters of Russian law enforcers Sunflower Flag.

There are no buildings on this road. Apart from the road, there is also the forest of Sparrow Mountain in the distance. However, there is an extremely strange red phone booth not far away. Li Jiting walked straight over and entered the red wooden phone box. The phone inside was still there.

That kind of coin-operated antique. He took out a double-headed eagle silver coin from his pocket, then picked up the phone and pressed a set of numbers on the very old stainless steel buttons. A low sound sounded on the other end of the phone.

Russian, "Where are you going?"

"Where the ashes burn."

"Please hang up the phone." The other party said without emotion.

Li Jiting hung up the phone as instructed, and then complained: "After so many years, it is still the same style as the former Soviet Union, and the attitude is still so bad, without any improvement."

Before he could finish his words, the wooden floor of the phone booth sank down and entered a silver square pipe. When he was completely submerged into the pipe, the floor of the phone booth above him instantly closed and the light disappeared, leaving only the four corners of the stainless steel channel.

The light of the acrylic lamp is in a straight line downward.

Every once in a while, a number will appear on the stainless steel channel. When the number reaches 13, this thing that can barely be called an elevator stops and downwards. The stainless steel wall with the number 13 printed on it cracks a gap, 1 and 3.

They each slid to both sides, revealing an entrance, and Li Jiting walked straight in without hesitation.

A not very long square corridor, surrounded by lights. At the end of the corridor is a square steel door with a golden sunflower carved in the middle. The door made of this special material can isolate teleportation and separate the building.

The purpose of being so deep underground is to shield the signal so that the carrier's auxiliary tools cannot work.

When Li Jiting walked to the door, the heavy steel door was slowly opened inward. A spectacular scene like a science fiction movie immediately appeared in front of his eyes. A huge dome with flashing lights like a flying saucer. The center of the dome was red.

The sickle and hammer logo, the circular glass wall looks like an aquarium, with jellyfish and sharks swimming inside.

The entire ring-shaped building was empty, like a theater showing a movie, neither bright nor dark. Li Jiting took a few steps forward and shouted in Russian: "Director, long time no see, my old friend is here to see you!"

"

As soon as Li Jiting finished speaking, a huge white spider web suddenly appeared in front of him at a speed visible to the naked eye, wrapping around him. At the same time, a somewhat rough voice sounded: "Sun King

, I didn’t expect that one day we would meet again.”

Li Jiting waved his hand towards the spider web and instantly activated the SSS skill "Truth: Wrath of the Sun (Magnetic Reconnection Flare)". Balls of dazzling brilliance suddenly burst out in the semi-dark air, like countless orange-red foam bursting on top of hot magma.

The light illuminated the entire hall. It was incorrect to say that the hall was a square or a theater. The constantly shining magma foam would instantly burn the white spider webs coming towards the face to nothingness, leaving not even ashes left.

The moment the spider web disappeared, three traces of light appeared behind Li Jiting, like a cheetah sneaking up behind him and wielding its sharp claws. The shield was ineffective against such non-energy attacks, so this scratch directly passed through Li Jiting's body.

spine.

But in fact, what was there was just the shadow left in Li Jiting's eyes. Three traces of light flashed by, and Li Jiting also disappeared on the spot. In the blink of an eye, he was stagnant in the mid-air of the square as if frozen, and in an instant, colorful lights filled the air.

The entire space is like the never-ending wind of light, constantly invading the entire theater, "Truth: Carrington Storm (Solar Storm)".

The wind speed became faster and faster, causing Li Jiting's curly hair to fly in the air. The high-speed charged particle flow rapidly raised the temperature of the entire theater. All invisibility and mimicry were unable to escape under the solar storm. The sharks behind the glass began to react.

Before I had time to escape, I turned my belly. Countless white jellyfish exploded into white debris like fireworks. The thirty-centimeter-thick polymer glass trembled gently in the gorgeous Carrington storm. This kind of glass can withstand

The temperature is a thousand degrees, but bubbles appear on its surface.

A huge octopus with a mechanical body larger than an excavator appeared out of thin air in the water. The octopus's eyes were flashing red, and its tentacles had mechanical tentacles like steel whips, as well as octopus tentacles with suction cups. He was only in the water.

It appeared for one second, and the next second it ran behind Li Jiting. Countless tentacles wrapped around Li Jiting and pulled him out of the air. He was thrown to the floor hard, "Asshole, I want to say hello to you, you

As for whether you have cooked all my treasures? Are you still using such tricks to destroy my base?"

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

Li Jiting fell like a meteor to the floor of unknown material. He put his hands on the ground and turned several somersaults on the floor covered with murals of Cossacks, Soviet soldiers, and Lenin heads. However, before he could stand still, another bear claw hit him.

Greeting him in the face, Li Jiting didn't take it seriously and said with a smile: "As a host, you don't know how to treat guests! It's been so long since we last met. You don't treat me with good food and wine, and you still play hide and seek with me."

The moment the bear's paw was about to touch him, he lightly stepped on his feet and flew up to the vaulted ceiling like a cannonball, then ejected down and headed straight towards the big octopus with its teeth and claws in the void.

The speed was so fast that red sparks were rubbed in the air. I don’t know what material his clothes were made of, but they didn’t burn or explode. In the next second, it seemed that he was about to be penetrated by Li Jiting’s body like a cannonball.

The big octopus turned into a crew-cut man with white hair and white beard. The crew-cut man had knife-like wrinkles on his face. He looked a little older, but his body was glowing with silver, as tough and strong as a metal sculpture.

There are electric currents beating on the thick arms, and there are mechanical wings like butterflies on the back.

The two people punched simultaneously in mid-air, and then their fists collided with each other while breaking through the 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 several times in the air and flicked his S skill "Truth: Cosmic Ray" with a snap of his fingers. A silent ray that was invisible to the naked eye penetrated the chest of the man with a flat head not far away, and his bulging silver hair

A coin-sized cavity penetrated the chest muscle. However, as soon as his eyes touched the circular wound that looked like a red-hot iron, it had already healed at an incredible speed, as if nothing had happened just now.

The white-haired man with a crew cut shook his finger at Li Jiting, who had already stood still, and sneered: "It's been fifteen years, and you still have the same tricks? Why don't you change your skills with a shotgun?"

"This shows that I am very nostalgic, whether it is for people or things." Li Jiting shrugged.

The crew-cut man sighed and said in a very disappointed tone: "It's really a pity. I thought you would have acquired some more powerful skills in the past fifteen years." After saying this, the crew-cut man, who was floating in the air, calmed down.

It slowly landed on the ground, and the mechanical butterfly wings behind it also folded and disappeared.

Li Jiting walked towards the crew-cut man and mocked, "You seem to have something that you can use."

"We are different. Our Sunflower Flag has gone from prosperity to decline, while your Tai Chi Dragon has gone from weakness to strength. I am lucky that I have not regressed. But you have not made progress, which only means that you are doing very badly." After a pause, the man

She teleported to Li Jiting and hugged his shoulders, patted him again and said with a smile: "Come on, I'll treat you to eat shark meat. The shark you killed can't be wasted." He hugged Li Jiting and moved forward.

While leaving, the flat-headed man said, "You can't be the leader of the Qianlong Team more than ten years ago, and you are still the leader of the Qianlong Team now, right?"

"For your good news, I am still the leader of the Qianlong Group."

The flat-headed man laughed heartily, "This puts me at ease! Tell me! What's the matter with wasting a double-headed eagle silver coin to come here?"

Li Jiting stopped and said calmly: "I hope that this time the sunflower flag will not care about the troubles between us, the Germans and the French."

The crew-cut man shook his head without hesitation, "No matter what the private matter is, I can agree to it. No matter what the official matter is, there is no need to discuss it. I can only obey the orders from above."

"I think the higher-ups will trust your judgment."

"To be honest, the higher-ups are also very interested in what secrets you have obtained from the European Aerospace Defense Corporation. If you are willing to share the information obtained, I can also try to persuade the higher-ups." The flat-headed man said with a serious expression.

"This is not a decision that I, the little team leader, can make. Why don't you stop taking action and I will report it to the superiors." Li Jiting said with a smile.

The crew-cut man shook his head, "You are too cunning. I can't trust you. The only thing I can do is to treat Iris, Black Eagle and you all equally no matter what happens in the future."

Seeing what Li Jiting wanted to say, the crew-cut man put down his arm around Li Jiting, turned to look at Li Jiting and said, "Sun King, you have your position, and I have mine. It is impossible to do anything that harms 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. He 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 drastically and his expression became serious. He took the badge, looked through it carefully, then turned to look at Li Jiting and said: "This matter is very important, I must verify the authenticity of the badge.

"

Li Jiting smiled and nodded, "Please do."

The crew-cut man suddenly disappeared into the theater, and Li Jiting began to look at the huge oil painting painted on the floor.

A moment later, the flat-headed man appeared next to Li Jiting again, "One week, we can only give you one week, no matter what you do, no matter what you gain afterwards, you must share with us what you learned from the European Aerospace Defense Group
