So, Luke's perfunctory appearance was a complete disguise, and it was only now that she realized it, and she was willing to let him take a "middleman's fee."
Damn it, there aren't many good people in Batman's gang! The female agent cursed inwardly.
What followed was a busy and fulfilling "undercover reconnaissance routine," which was more comfortable and fulfilling than any of Natasha's previous operations.
They took turns scouting the field for four hours, training, intelligence analysis, and planning took eight hours, and the remaining eight hours were spent sleeping and relaxing.
Even in the igloo, there were smart programs to monitor the surveillance equipment outside and keep an eye on the base.
Sleeping in the snow, not eating or sleeping well, or freezing to the toilet, none of that existed.
What surprised Natasha even more was that her overall talent in Qi Refinement was excellent.
Compared with the others, Robert was poor, Catherine was average, Claire and Selina were excellent, and Luke's youngest sister, Cindy, was excellent.
As for Natasha herself, first of all, she had a good physique and could convert a lot of "qi."
Secondly, the female agent was a paranoid and quick-witted person, which was a natural disadvantage.
But she had been through torture in the red house, and she had the skills to hypnotize herself quickly, which was an advantage.
Finally, she was sensitive to qi, which was neither good nor bad.
But with Luke, who had been practicing Qi Refinement for many years, it wasn't hard for him to guide her into an indescribable state of cultivation.
She was much luckier than Robert in that regard.
Robert was a man, and Luke wasn't good enough at hypnosis back then.
Luke actually wasn't too busy.
Since he had said that he would give Natasha ten percent of the harvest for free, he naturally had to give her a chance to take the initiative.
If he had to do everything, Natasha would probably only be able to get a guaranteed share.
…
A day after they arrived at the North Pole, the Mountain Monster left the base according to the preset procedure and contacted Luke again.
Luke mainly connected a physical data cable to the base when he went out to scout every day.
The Mountain Monsters took turns patrolling the base every day and sending intelligence back from the data cable.
They didn't use wireless transmission because this place was too "clean."
Within a radius of a hundred kilometers, the base was the only place that had wireless transmission.
From the analysis of various intelligence sources, the Cobra Base was quite advanced.
He didn't dare to bet that Cobra's surveillance personnel would ignore the sudden appearance of several unfamiliar signal sources around the base.
On the other hand, there were more than 300 guards in this base, and they were all the kind of iron-masked warriors that he had seen before.
These guards were emotionless, had no hobbies, did not know how to wander around, and did not know how to be human. They only listened to the orders of the leader of the base and did things according to the rules.
This was great news for Luke.
If there were too many smart people, the value of this base would decrease.
Luke had already made up his mind to do his best to swallow the entire base without anyone noticing.
If he wanted to achieve this goal, he definitely couldn't be impatient.
If anything went wrong, it might even damage "his" base.
…
The wait was long, but with a professionally trained female agent with him, Luke wasn't bored.
Natasha was even more satisfied.
She felt that the Qi Refinement Technique was indeed very good.
This thing could be used to beautify one's skin. At the very least, it could improve one's skin quality immediately.
Other things like being full of energy, avoiding back pain, and leg cramps were not worth mentioning.
In terms of combat ability, she felt that she could kill a bull with one punch.
Luke wasn't losing out.
Credits were nothing to him. The five-figure debt that the female agent owed was just a way to motivate her to work hard, and definitely not to exploit her labor.
Watching Natasha's cultivation, he found it even more pleasing to the eye.
After getting started, he basically didn't demonstrate in person anymore, and only gave her occasional pointers.
Most of the time, he sat leisurely on the sofa and watched her do all kinds of extreme movements on the yoga mat to stimulate her body and qi.
…
Just like that, it was the end of September.
Luke had gathered most of the key information in the base, and the opportunity finally came.
Cobra hadn't been resting for so many days. Instead, it had caused a huge commotion.
The Eiffel Tower? It was just an appetizer for the big show.
Cobra threatened China and the European Union with the Eiffel Tower, demanding that they pay 100 billion dollars worth of goods, or the remaining three warheads would fall on important cities in Asia, America, and Europe.
This kind of request was unprecedented and unheard of, so it was immediately rejected.
But only half of a tower was left there, and the NATO Weapons Intelligence Center also had information on nano worm warheads.
This was something that Europe and the United States had produced themselves.
In fact, this nano-insect warhead didn't belong to Mars Industries, but to several NATO countries.
All the researchers and key data for this project had always been directly controlled by several important NATO member states.
James McCarran, the CEO of Mars Industries, only existed as the head of the development department.
It was just like how America's leader didn't have the right to ask a major company to give him the core technology. McCarran couldn't touch the technical data for the warhead, nor could he build it.
That was why McCarran had tipped off Cobra and asked them to snatch the four warheads.
Not exposing his identity as a collaborator with Cobra was one thing, but the fact that he couldn't make the warheads was even more important.
But he was also very good at it.
When developing the nano-insect warheads, he had always emphasized on concentrating funding to produce results, and had the technicians focus on destructive power.
The only countermeasure was the controller that had been sent away with the warheads.
This controller was similar to the dynamic password of a peaceful black box, and could only be set during production to work with the warheads.
Even if NATO produced another controller, it wouldn't be able to control the three warheads that had been stolen.
NATO countries had jointly developed the nano-insect warheads to create a deterrent weapon that was cleaner and safer than peaceful weapons.
Even if this thing fell into the hands of other countries, it would only be the icing on the cake for peaceful deterrence.
But the awkward thing was that this lethal weapon of an industrial society had somehow fallen into the hands of a terrorist organization.
The other party could threaten them unscrupulously, but they couldn't threaten the other party, because no one knew where Cobra was.
China, the United States, and the European Union had held many high-level consultations in the past month, and contacted Cobra several times, but they couldn't reach a consensus.
For these major countries, this wasn't a matter of 100 billion dollars in supplies.
It was a matter of giving in to the terrorists this time, and the other party would take a mile after taking an inch.
As long as the warheads were still in Cobra's hands, a second and third extortion was bound to happen.
Thus, their condition was that Cobra had to hand over three nano-insect warheads, or they would rather gamble than pay a "protection fee."
Cobra wasn't stupid.
If they really made the exchange, who knew what would happen during the transaction.
Only by keeping the warheads in their hands could they make other countries hesitate.
In fact, Luke also knew Cobra's real plan.
While they were acquiring supplies, they would launch three warheads to directly destroy three of the world's top cities and create massive panic and chaos.
Cobra's goal was to create chaos. How much supplies they could get from other countries was a bonus, and wasn't the main point.
