Chapter 199 The Hurtful Truth

Speaking of which, the camps of ordinary star thieves are not as orderly as Zarif Star.

The monitoring and alarm network here, as well as the construction of civil engineering, were completed by the four heaven-level regiments.

At the beginning, when the Pioneering Group used this place as their old home for management, planning and construction, they were very organized.

Not only is it convenient for living and defense, but it also prevents others from taking away the achievements of their own development. Unexpectedly, it is cheaper for others.

According to Mu Guoguo, when it was first built, in order to prevent accidents, the pioneer groups also left some escape routes.

However, the attack of the star thieves was too sudden, some pioneers were captured, and some escaped through secret passages.

Therefore, these secret passages are basically exposed, and it is impossible to sneak in from the secret passages.

Some of the secret passages were blocked by the star thieves, and some were not blocked, but maybe the star thieves kept them for fishing.

This kind of example has appeared before, someone wanted to sneak in through the secret path, but was guarded by the star thief.

Qu Jianlei got the news from Captain Mu, so now he is out of the core area.

Outside the core area is also the actual control area of ​​the Star Pirates, but the management is relatively less strict, it can be said that good and evil are mixed.

This is where the aborigines live, and there are some production areas, and there must be spies from the pioneers here.

However, the star thieves let this kind of area exist, which is the need for development and growth.

If you want to develop the resources of this planet as soon as possible, you cannot do without the support of the aborigines.

The core area does not allow the aborigines to enter at will, so there needs to be a buffer area for effective communication and management.

To put it more realistically, the star thieves have spread a large number of spies and eyeliners, and they also need a relatively secret communication place.

Qu Jianlei knew where the flagpole should go to report the situation, but he didn't rush there, but first found a hotel to stay.

After opening the room, he took a nap first, and in the afternoon, he came to a bar called "Wenyun".

When the Pioneering Group was around, there were a lot of bars for things like bars.

The team members live a bloody life all day long, and they really need to relax in their spare time, and it can even be said to be a rigid need.

This kind of place is also the most suitable occasion for exchanging information.

Qu Jianlei ordered a large glass of fruit wine and a plate of dried fruit, and sat down at an unoccupied table.

Immediately afterwards, he turned the small wine glass upside down on the table, and placed two dried fruits in the shallow recess of the small wine glass.

Then he took a large glass of fruit wine and sipped it lightly.

The wine glass was one liter in size, and he held it steadily. Anyway, he didn't use the small wine glass of about [-] milliliters.

After drinking for about ten minutes, a short man walked over, with mischievous eyebrows and a strong smell of alcohol.

Seeing the two dried fruits in the shallow recess at the bottom of the wine glass, the man's eyes lit up slightly, and he sat next to Qu Jianlei.

The man spoke in a low voice, smelling of alcohol, "Which information do you want?"

It is possible to buy and sell information here, and the star thieves acquiesce in this situation.

The flagpole that Qu Jianlei pretended to have bought and sold information in similar places.

However, the information he sells must be already mastered by the Star Pirates, and he is allowed to sell it.

As for the information he bought... usually he spends his own money, and it is impossible to apply for reimbursement.

As a spy, you also need to buy information?Needless to say, there is really such a need.

Flagpole has to report intelligence to the higher authorities on a regular basis, and the higher authorities will assess his performance.

It is impossible for the Star Thieves to supervise the spies released, but they will not let them let themselves go. It is normal to have assessments.

For a period of time, if the spies fail to provide quality and quantity of information, they will be considered "lazy" or even "dereliction of duty".

But the emergence of such things as intelligence...is very random, and it doesn't mean that it will definitely be there.

The flagpole is not even a reformed warrior, and its status among star robbers is extremely low.

Once he fails the assessment, he will be punished very severely - as an ordinary person, he will not even have the chance to defend himself.

Therefore, for Flagpole, it is necessary to figure out the way to buy information.

In fact, he had done this before, and the higher-ups seemed to be able to guess that his information was not original, but bought.

But the higher-ups didn't care about it, and chose to turn a blind eye - they had already bought the information at their own expense, so it wasn't that they didn't work hard.

Therefore, it doesn't matter if Qu Jianlei's current behavior is seen through.

He glanced at the drunken man, and said simply, "I need information from the Pioneering Group."

"Isn't this nonsense?" The man muttered in a low voice, picked up a few dried fruits and threw them into his mouth.

"The ones who come to buy information are either looters or pioneers...to be more specific."

Qu Jianlei replied calmly, "Who said that it is only possible to buy information from these two parties, do you understand?"

The man laughed when he heard the words, and said indifferently, "Hehe, I'm still a professional..."

He knew what the other party meant, "I'm not interested in inquiring about other miscellaneous and trivial matters... Which regiment do you want to buy?"

Qu Jianlei pondered for a while and asked, "Do you have any information on the movements of the Heaven-level regiment?"

"Hehe~" The man's eyes lit up slightly, and then he laughed again, "Looks like he's a big customer."

Then, he looked Qu Jianlei up and down, "Just to be offensive... It seems that you can afford the fee."

Qu Jianlei's attire is very ordinary, and this attire is also in line with the personality of the flagpole - common ordinary people, how can they have so much money?

He nodded slightly, "It's true, I really don't have much money, but I still want to buy information, do you have any suggestions?"

Seeing that he didn't take aggressive tactics, the short man shook his head, "If you don't have money, what are you talking about? Let's go."

He staggered away, but Qu Jianlei didn't care, and he didn't have any intention to stop him.

Someone in the bar remembered this scene in his heart.

Qu Jianlei sat until dinner time, and no one came to ask after finishing a large glass of fruit wine.

He was not in a hurry, ordered a meal and ate it indiscriminately, ordered another large glass of fruit wine, and continued to wait there.

There is a gap between the afternoon session and the night session, and the intelligence dealers also have their own rules.

In the afternoon, someone sold information and failed to negotiate, and sensible people would not go up to solicit business again, lest they be suspected of dumping at low prices.

After all, this is an industry that pays great attention to taboos, and those ignorant young people have already been buried in the ditch.

Not long after the night show started, someone came over again, but it was a pity that they still didn't make a deal.

Qu Jianlei was not in a hurry either, and left when it was close to midnight, and went to the hotel to rest.

There is no rush for this kind of thing, he plans to wait another day the next day, if there is no harvest, he will change the venue.

Unexpectedly, less than 10 minutes after returning to the hotel, someone knocked on the door.

The star thieves are plundering, cruel and easy to kill, but in the land they manage, they generally pay more attention to order.

Qu Jianlei already knew who was outside, so he stepped forward to open the door.

Outside the door was a tall, middle-aged woman with a bag in her hand.

After seeing Qu Jianlei, she was startled for a moment, then nodded, "I heard that you want to buy information, let's talk in the room?"

"Okay," Qu Jianlei nodded and let him in.

After closing the door, he walked back into the house, "What do you want to drink, drink or wine?"

"Let's talk about business," the woman sat down on the chair, pressing the wooden chair until it creaked.

She looked Qu Jianlei up and down, and said bluntly, "I know you...you have to complete the assessment, right?"

Qu Jianlei was really stunned, and after thinking about it, he replied, "I...fuck, who dares to earn this money?"

Although he is an ordinary person, as a long-term spy, his secret level is not low.

Obviously, his relevant information was leaked, so the other party would be so straight to the point.

So even if this woman is a reformed soldier and he is just an ordinary person, the seizure still occurred.

"Don't take yourself too seriously," the middle-aged woman curled her lips in disdain, "You can be a spy because you are ordinary enough."

This is the big truth, but the truth... hurts.

Hearing this, Qu Jianlei's face darkened immediately, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

But at the next moment, he still said forcefully, "I'm sorry, I will report this matter to the higher authorities...the nature is too bad."

The middle-aged woman didn't care, "I dare say, I'm not afraid of you reporting it. Are you sure your boss didn't get involved?"

Qu Jianlei was stunned again, "My boss... participated? I will also report this sentence."

"Whatever you want," the woman became more and more casual, "but you'd better think about what the consequences would be if I didn't lie to you."

After a pause, she spoke again, "If I hadn't confirmed your identity, I wouldn't even bother to come to you to sell information."

For this reason, persuasion is not generally strong.

Knowing that he doesn't have much money, he still comes to sell information, and it's the first time the two sides meet... It doesn't make sense at all, does it?

Qu Jianlei was stunned again, and after a while, he smiled wryly, "Is it still possible to operate in this way?"

The middle-aged woman replied disapprovingly, "This is something you don't see very often. There is a high possibility of duplication of information, right?"

Qu Jianlei nodded, "That's right."

"It's not a loss to pay some money to buy a test pass. Others...including your boss, no one will think too much money, right?"

Qu Jianlei was stunned for a while, then smiled wryly, "It's true, but I always feel a little weird in my heart."

"In the final analysis, you are still too weak," the middle-aged woman didn't mind his reaction, "How much information do you want to buy?"

She didn't ask the other party's choice at all, and her contempt was beyond words-I'm sure of you.

However, the role played by Qu Jianlei really has no other choice. This is the tragedy of ordinary people.

He thought for a while, then smiled wryly, "Forget it, let's just spend money to buy peace."

"But I really don't have much money, 100 silver dollars... I want to buy news that is not too repetitive."
