After rescuing Leah, the 01 guerrillas were given a month and a half off.
Semiprime sent the DV to Edward in an encrypted email, but the email was like a stone sinking into the sea. There was no response from the other party.
To avoid Black Nest's pursuit, they came to a small town in southwestern France. One of Waldo's uncles used to live here, but he had no children. Before he died, he willed his house to Waldo.
Everyone had heard Waldo mention this before, but they did not pay much attention to it. However, when they arrived, they realized that the house was quite large. There were six guest rooms alone, and even if a few more people came, they would still be able to live in it. In addition, there was a huge courtyard filled with all kinds of flowers and plants. At the same time, there was also a small sparkling lake behind it.
"There's a place like this, and you'd rather stay in the attic of your mother's house?" Philip opened the window and looked at the picturesque scenery outside with an incredulous look on his face.
"Uhh, because no one cooks here, and there's no way to order takeout …" Waldo said truthfully.
"That's true."
"Also, the taxes on a house like this are outrageous. I rent it out for half a year during the tourist season, and the money I earn is barely enough to pay for the taxes and maintenance. It makes me want to sell it," Waldo complained.
"Don't be in such a hurry to sell it. I've always wanted to wait until I'm old to have such a beautiful place to retire. When I save enough money and my daughter goes to college, you can sell it to me," Ponytail said.
"Well, I don't know if I can wait until then. There are a bunch of games on Steam waiting for me to buy," Waldo said.
"…"
"Anyway, just do whatever you want. Oh, by the way, leave the room with the best wifi signal for me," Waldo said before collapsing on the sofa and opening a bag of potato chips.
"This guy is really hopeless."
After that, Semiprime drove to the supermarket in the town center to buy some vegetables, fruits, and daily necessities. They did not spend much of the money they earned from the casino. It was enough for them to live and carry out their next mission. Initially, they planned to stay here for the time being. When they received Edward's message, they would rush over to help. However, no one expected that they would have to wait for so long.
Zhang Heng, on the other hand, did not idle around. During this time, he mainly learned electrical control technology from Ponytail. Other than that, he also asked Waldo and Philip for some tips on hacking personal accounts and security defense. All three of them were people that Zhang Heng did not get to meet in the parallel quest 12 years later.
Ponytail and Edward died early, Philip immigrated to Hong Kong, and Waldo joined Black Nest.
As for the latter two, it was hard to blame them. Phillip, who had grown tired of them, had secretly passed a lot of information to 01 after joining Black Nest, helping the rest of the 01 resolve many crises. Black Nest didn't make things difficult for him because of his skills, but he was no longer allowed to access confidential information. He was only allowed to provide technical advice.
Including Leah, the six people on the same floor at the moment probably couldn't imagine how different their fates would be twelve years later if the mission failed.
Leah rummaged through the storage room in the yard and took out an old guitar, but it only had five strings left. She wiped the guitar clean and held it in her arms. "Everyone, is there anything you want to listen to?"
"I don't know … How about 'La Marseillaise'?" Waldo said.
Philip frowned. "Why would anyone want to listen to the national anthem after dinner?"
"Because there's nothing else. Everyone has heard this song, and it's very popular."
"Then, when she plays the guitar, we all stand up and stay solemn?"
"How about I play Joe?
"Champs-Elysees" by Dassin. Everyone should have heard this song before. " Leah plucked the strings twice. "One of my favorites. Besides, because there are only five strings left, everyone can just listen to it. Okay, enough nonsense. We're about to start."
She cleared her throat.
'I'm walking down the street, my heart opens to strangers.' 'I want to say hello to someone.' 'No matter who it is, maybe it's you.' 'I don't care what I say to you.' 'As long as I can talk to you, just to get close to you.' 'Champs-Elysées, Champs-Elysées.'
'Whether it's rain or shine, noon or midnight, there's everything you want on the Champs-Elysées.'
One had to admit that Leah, who had graduated from a music major, was a talented singer. Coupled with her experience as the lead singer of the band Suffocation, her singing skills had actually surpassed most famous singers. The classic pop song that was popular in France had a different flavor when sung by her.
Considering her appearance and temperament, if it weren't for the accident that happened to her brother, she might have become a household name in twelve years.
When the song ended, Philip and the others clapped as hard as they could, just like the patrons in Green Frog.
Leah pulled up her skirt and bowed. "Thank you, thank you. Everyone's enthusiasm will make me puff up. Hahaha."
"One more, one more!" It was rare for Waldo to put down the handheld in his hand and pause his adventure in The Legend of Zelda. This was a rare moment for him, who had almost grown up with the handheld for more than a month.
"Okay." Leah didn't refuse and quickly sang the second song.
Little Boy noticed that Zhang Heng wasn't in the house at this time. A quarter of an hour later, she found him by the lake. It was still drizzling, and the temperature was lower than usual. Little Boy tightened her coat. "What are you doing here?"
"Fishing." Zhang Heng raised the fishing rod in his hand.
"Huh? But it's raining outside. "
"Do you hate the rain?"
"I don't really hate it, but I don't really like it. When it rains, it's wet everywhere." Little Boy frowned.
"I see. You're right." Zhang Heng raised his eyebrows. At this time, the float moved.
"A fish has taken the bait," Little Boy reminded him.
Zhang Heng didn't do anything when he heard her. It wasn't until the float suddenly sank that Zhang Heng lifted the fishing rod and pulled a big, lively fish out of the water.
"It's a pity that it's a carp. We can't eat it," Little Boy said.
"Who said carp can't be eaten? I'll make it tomorrow. Try it." Zhang Heng bent down and put the fish into the bucket. "Shall we go back together?"
Little Boy nodded, and the two walked side by side on the slightly muddy path. Little Boy wanted to say something several times, but stopped herself.
"What do you want to say?"
"I feel like everyone is a little too relaxed now. It's like we're on a vacation. Since Edward hasn't responded, the team has no direction for the time being. But I feel like it's not good to just eat and drink every day," Little Boy voiced out her worries.
"Don't worry. This kind of life won't last long," Zhang Heng said. "The real challenge will come soon."
