Bai Yulan was wearing a digital camouflage suit, which was difficult to distinguish among the red and yellow leaves. He lowered his head and looked at the data flowing on the screen of the workbench. His eyes were as cold and calm as the air in the surrounding forest.
"The sewers have been sealed," Xu Le pointed at the two clear horizontal lines on the screen and said, "This route is also difficult to travel."
The early morning in S2 was surrounded by mountains and unusually cold autumn weather. As he lowered his voice, white steam came out from his lips.
The workbench in the fallen leaves and the large pile of firearms next to it were obtained from a very ordinary logistics company in Oak State three days ago. The pen connected to the workbench was the most important. The pen provided to Xu Le by the intelligence leader of the anti-government forces contained extremely important data. It contained the architectural blueprints of the Peace Foundation Building, the security layout plan, and a very advanced real-time data update receiver. It was obvious that the Green Dragon Mountain had planted a spy beside Senator Macklin. That spy might be in the Peace Foundation Building in front of the mountain, constantly transmitting the situation inside and the layout of the firepower to the outside world.
"The number of security personnel has not decreased. In fact, there are more than a few days ago." Bai Yulan pointed at some moving light spots on the screen and reminded, "The Special Task Force agents are scattered outside. The people at the circular passage in the middle should be from the security company. The problem is in the independent building in the innermost part. I guess it should be Macklin's trusted armed forces. It was not convenient for him to bring them around when he was in the Capital Special District and Port Capital, but now that he is back in his nest, the security around him must be very strong."
The sun had not completely peeked out from the horizon, but the faint morning light had already shrouded the city at the foot of the mountain. The shadows overlapped with the light. Xu Le narrowed his eyes and looked at the Peace Foundation Building at the foot of the mountain. He thought about the intelligence he had been reading for a few days and subconsciously clenched his fists.
The intelligence provided by the anti-government forces was very detailed, including Macklin's route back to S2 and the security around him. It was very clearly marked. In the intelligence report, Xu Le had no choice but to cancel the plan of ambushing the councilor's transportation. The following intelligence report also confirmed that the foundation building was heavily guarded, so he couldn't find any way to sneak in.
Xu Le was a patient person, but there was always a faint dark cloud shrouding the depths of his heart, and he couldn't find the reason. Last night, the latest update mentioned that Macklin seemed to be preparing to leave S2.
The politician was preparing to visit the frontlines of Cillin directly after the meeting. This information put him on guard, and the dark clouds in his heart grew thicker and thicker. It was going to rain soon. He had a very bad feeling. If Macklin was allowed to leave the Upper Forest Star Region, he might not be able to find him again.
Based on this intuition, Xu Le, who had already waited for two days, decided to wait for a better opportunity. He didn't intend to rely on his good luck to sneak in, so he chose to launch a surprise attack in the early hours of the morning. Although he was very clear about his fierce combat ability, breaking into the foundation building and killing Macklin, who was heavily protected by the Federation government and the armed forces, still made his palms sweat and his back slightly cold.
Bai Yulan looked coldly and solemnly at the map and the flowing data on the screen. After leaving the 17th Armored Division, whether it was missions for the Whitewater Company or private missions, he had participated in many assassination missions. So, today's scene was no stranger to him. However, in his professional opinion, choosing to launch an attack at this time and place was too risky. It was a choice with little chance of survival.
"I think we should wait a little longer," he said softly. "The opponent suddenly increased the security around him to such a high level. It's obvious that the opponent smelled danger around him and is prepared."
After returning to S2 from S1, Macklin lived in seclusion and appeared to be extremely cautious. Xu Le narrowed his eyes at the buildings at the foot of the mountain and said, "He's guarding against Green Dragon Mountain, or perhaps the government suddenly turning on him. He's not guarding against a small character like me."
Bai Yulan was silent. She frowned slightly and said, "Unfortunately, the meeting place in the afternoon is in the square. It's so open there that we can't find a suitable place to snipe. Otherwise, we could try a long-range attack."
"The buildings around the square have been cleaned by the government security department. We can't hide there." Xu Le paused for a moment, then said with a smile, "And a long-range attack isn't safe enough."
Bai Yulan zoomed out the three-dimensional map on the screen and pointed at a certain point in the hills at the edge of the map. She looked up at the yellow-green forest in the northeast direction and said slowly, "If only there was a long-range sniper there. Calculating the shooting radius, it would be just enough to cover the nodes in the second half of the assault. This kind of cover is quite advantageous."
…
…
Shi Qinghai, who was sleeping with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes. He brushed off a small insect on his face and laid down in the fallen leaves. He looked at the white sky above the autumn forest that was cut into pieces by sharp branches. His thick black eyebrows furrowed.
He had chosen the sniping location four days ago. Last night, he snuck here and quietly waited for the whole night. Although the information provided by the other side was not good, and Macklin seemed to be preparing to leave, there were Federal Army bodyguards on the designated route. After all, this mountain was still a bit far away, and the old man's car was bulletproof. Although he was holding a big gun, it would be troublesome if he couldn't kill him with one shot.
After thinking about all kinds of things, Mr. Shi yawned and whistled softly. He hugged the heavy big gun in his arms and lay down again. He crossed his legs and began to hum the old song called 27 Glasses of Wine. At the same time, his right hand reached out from the fallen leaves and placed on the keyboard input device. He kept tapping, and the microcomputer connected to the big gun began to warm up and calculate the trajectory of the bullet.
Occasionally, he narrowed his eyes and looked at another mountain on the horizon. His heart slightly moved.
…
…
"There are only two of us." Xu Le took off the leaf on his body and picked up the bowl of self-heating instant noodles. He said with a smile as he slurped down the noodles.
Looking at the noodles now, Bai Yulan felt a little disgusted. She didn't know what Xu Le's body was made of. How could he eat so much?
Xu Le suddenly put down the noodles in his hand and looked seriously at the delicate man lying in the red and yellow leaves. He said, "You really don't want to leave? This is going to kill you. Although 20 million is a lot, I really didn't think it would be enough to buy your life. "
"I'm only in charge of logistics and battlefield remote monitoring and command." Bai Yulan lowered his head and smiled. He said softly, "If someone finds out, I'll leave without caring about your life. After this, I'll have paid back the 20 million."
"I've never seen someone who loves money as much as you … but also respects money."
"You're crazy." Bai Yulan smiled as her delicate fingers tapped on the keyboard. Her delicate eyes stared at the data on the workbench as she said, "Although I'm afraid of death, I think it's quite interesting to go crazy once in a while in this life."
Xu Le was speechless. He knew what kind of person Secretary Bai was. He never expected the other party to understand his crazy and absurd actions, and he also didn't expect Secretary Bai to stand up for the Federation or any other innocent people. Therefore, he never understood why this delicate man was willing to stay and help him after knowing the truth.
The universe was vast and magnificent, but the human race had an extremely complex psychological structure. He couldn't understand it no matter how he looked at it.
After finishing the warm and tasteless instant noodles, Xu Le rubbed his stomach and climbed up from the fallen leaves in the forest. He changed into sportswear with a hat and carried the prepared travel bag on his back. He even weighed it to get used to the weight. Naturally, he looked like a guy who was preparing to go on a field trip.
"If something happens, I really have to run first. I owe you this time, but I already owe other people two lives. Even if I want to repay them, I can't repay you first. " He did a final check on his equipment and said these words. In fact, he knew in his heart that after leaving S1 for so long, certain parties were already investigating his whereabouts. And Lady Tai had the biggest handle on him. After this incident, other than changing his identity and running away, there was no other possibility for him to survive. Therefore, the so-called "owing Secretary Bai a life" was probably a debt that could never be repaid.
They were both men who had killed before. Although Lady Bai Magnolia was like a virgin, her decisiveness and coldness in killing exceeded that of the average person. Therefore, the two people didn't have any thoughts of hugging each other. They just looked at each other and waved goodbye.
Dressed in camouflage, Lady Bai Magnolia took her workbench and disappeared into the mountains and fields of autumn leaves. Xu Le carried his travel bag and walked along the slippery mountain path towards the group of buildings.
As he walked down the mountain, the sun struggled to break free from the horizon. The sky gradually brightened, but it was still in the gray state of early morning. After an unknown amount of time, Xu Le arrived at the foot of the mountain. Separated by layers of autumn trees, he looked at the faintly visible figure at the end of the road. He pressed the particles in his ear and whispered a few words.
Lady Bai Magnolia's clear signal came through his earpiece. The battlefield communication equipment obtained from the Seventh Team's armory could guarantee communication within 30 kilometers. Among the fallen leaves at the top of the mountain, Lady Bai Magnolia calmly observed the holographic screen on the workbench. She clearly and accurately sent the first observation result and combat order to Xu Le at the foot of the mountain.
All the equipment was the most professional of the Federal military. Secretary Bai was a professional assassin. What Xu Le had to do was very simple. He just had to trust in his judgment and command.
He didn't rush out of the forest. Instead, he walked a large circle around the foot of the mountain. Under the cover of the trees, he avoided the main entrance of the Golden Foundation area. Xu Le walked onto the road. At this time, the first ray of sunlight shone on him.
He was wearing oversized sportswear, and his cap had been lifted up to cover his face. He carried a heavy travel bag. He looked like he had just done a night camp on the mountain. His face that was exposed in the shadows had a sunny smile. He was in the prime of youth.
The black road was paved with red leaves. Stepping on them made a crisp sound. Xu Le took a deep breath. He kept calling a person's name in his heart.
"Old thing, you really don't want to help? Then I'm really going to die this time. "
In the depths of his mind, in the depths of the universe, around the stars, between heaven and earth, there was silence. Occasionally, birds in the autumn forest behind him would cry out in protest at the coming cold. However, no one answered the call in his heart. The silence was like a dead silence.
Xu Le's footsteps paused slightly. He had tried many times to contact that great existence in the sea of his mind. He succeeded once when he was in the capital special district. However, when he bravely or stupidly revealed his true purpose, the other side directly rejected his request. Then, there was silence.
"According to your plan, you will seriously violate the laws of the Federation." He didn't know when a line of small words appeared in front of him. The slightly white words were very soft, much gentler than the new dawn.
"You can't catch me." Xu Le said to that existence in his heart, "According to the rules of the first charter, you can't use it to prevent crimes. Without approval or request, you can't actively participate in the process of the incident. I just want to know if you can help me today. "
"Anything that violates the laws of the Federation is not allowed."
Deep underground in the outskirts of the capital special district, the Federal Central Computer integrated a very simple message. Through the electronic monitoring network throughout the Federation, in a few seconds, through a signal amplifier, through the space channel, bypassing the galaxy, and arriving outside the atmosphere of S2. Along with the morning light, it fell on the red leaves on the ground and entered the chip at the back of Xu Le's neck.
Xu Le's footsteps didn't slow down at all. His eyes narrowed slightly, and through the shadow of the hat, he looked at the wall not far away. He made a gamble to initiate contact with that side, but he didn't get any results. However, he wouldn't be disappointed. If that old thing would help him even with this kind of thing, then wouldn't he be able to resist the entire Federation by himself?
His dark military boots rustled as he stepped on the red fallen leaves. The blue sky began to reveal its beauty, and the light was clear and beautiful. Xu Le, who was carrying a travel bag, suddenly thought of the time when he fled the Donglin District two years ago. At that time, he seemed to be dressed like this.
Taking out a high-pressure nutrition bar, he broke it in half, put it in his mouth, and chewed it open. After moistening it with his saliva and putting it into his stomach, Xu Le walked to the edge of the wall. He had been eating non-stop these days. At this time, he still carried a military nutrition bar with him. He knew very well why. When he used a large amount of the trembling power in his body, he would become very hungry. Therefore, he needed to make sufficient preparations in advance. On the other hand, he was very nervous.
The autumn air was refreshing. He stepped on the red leaves and came to the bottom of the high wall. His eyes narrowed, his legs trembled slightly, and the power in his body suddenly burst forth. After squatting, he jumped up like an arrow and easily flipped over.
"What a monster."
Bai Magnolia at the top of the mountain narrowed her eyes as she watched the progress on the holographic screen. Only now did she understand why the little boss insisted on entering from behind the wall when they were choosing the route last night. The wall was very smooth and was 4.5 meters high. Although she didn't see it with her own eyes, when she saw that the light representing Xu Le had entered the frame of the map, she understood that for someone, many obstacles in the world were not obstacles at all.
