Crisis Management Game

Theoretically, Gu Ji shouldn't have taken such a risk in front of Bakken.

After all, if this guy is really the founder of the future THEO organization, then what he said now would undoubtedly alert the enemy.

But he had no choice.

Because the people at the Bentwall base have already reached out their hands.

If Gu Ji did not produce some strong evidence, the outcome of both Baken and Paul going crazy and disappearing would not be changed.

Baken narrowed his eyes slightly, and a hint of vigilance flashed in his pupils.

"What do you mean by these words?"

"Literally."

Gu Ji crossed his hands and placed them on his knees, looking calm and composed. "You don't really think that the buyer who wants to cooperate with you is just an ordinary military base research institute, right?"

"Isn't that so?"

Paul asked back immediately, looking him up and down with suspicion.

"I have seen the military base with my own eyes, but apart from the work ID, you just made up the rest with your mouth. Who knows if it's true or not!"

Facing the aggressive gazes of the two people.

Gu Ji was not panicked at all. Instead, he explained slowly, word by word:

"Bentwall is not an ordinary military base. It was established by Britain and the United States to monitor the Soviet Union, transport and store nuclear weapons, and... investigate and study UFOs!"

"UFO? Are you kidding me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Paul began to make sarcastic remarks.

This instinctive reaction is very real, proving that this guy is completely unaware of the mysterious sphere.

On the other hand, look at Bakken on the side.

Instead, he kept his head down and remained silent, making it hard for people to guess what he was thinking.

“I’m sure you’ve all heard about the Banbury incident a few months ago. It was Bentwall Air Force Base that was responsible;

Think about it carefully. If they really wanted to have a simple business transaction with you, why would they investigate and attack a small city hall secretary like me behind your back?

Our cooperation will not affect your transaction with the base. They are urging you to go there as soon as possible, right? Is there something else behind this..."

Gu Ji's words immediately aroused the suspicion of Baken and Paul.

indeed.

According to normal logical reasoning, regardless of whether he is a liar or not, the medical equipment is not exclusively supplied to the city hall, and it does not affect the cooperation with the military research institute at all.

Why did the military call to urge the order?

"Well, let me ask one last question..."

Looking at the two people's frowning brows, Gu Ji spoke again and said a crucial point: "Did the other party suddenly ask about your company's address just now?"

"Gedden!!"

Buchan and Paul opened their eyes wide at the same time.

Gu Ji raised the exquisite silver watch on his wrist mysteriously and smacked his lips: "It seems that you don't have much time left..."

This made the two of them completely panic.

But Buchan still pretended to be calm, gritted his teeth and came to the front, and asked loudly:

"Who the hell are you and why are you telling us this?"

"My true identity cannot be disclosed for the time being, but I can tell you that Bentwall's background is a joint base, and I represent the purest Britain!"

"You are not M..."

In the middle of his words, Bakken suddenly shut up.

The purpose of Gu Ji doing this was, on the one hand, to avoid repeating the same path as last week, and on the other hand, to gain Baken's trust and obtain more intelligence.

Baken and Paul exchanged glances for a few times before speaking again.

"I can believe everything you say, but I need to know why you are helping me."

"No, no, no, you misunderstood."

Gu Ji waved his hand, confusing the two men. "It's just a convenience to remind you. I just don't want those people from Bentwall Base to succeed so easily!"

"I see……"

There was a long silence.

Baken had completely calmed down, and immediately looked at Gu Ji seriously: "Although I know you didn't mean to help me, I will always remember this kindness, and if I have the chance in the future, I will definitely return it to you!"

After that, he began to busy himself with Paul to gather the employees and discuss solutions.

Gu Ji sat on the sofa, his lips curled up slightly.

The fish finally took the bait!

Bakken is a smart man. If he rushes to help, it will only backfire and further raise the other party's vigilance.

It would be better to do the opposite and take advantage of this guy's generous personality.

Furthermore.

If Gu Ji really admitted that he was helping, then Baken would have to ask him what to do next.

If he can't come up with any powerful resources by then, wouldn't he be directly lifting rocks and destroying the MI6 image that he had worked so hard to establish?

so.

For now, the best outcome is to let Buchan solve the problem on his own and let him continue to remain mysterious.

"Paul, gather the workers immediately and load all the products and instructions onto the truck!"

"yes!"

"Aili, go and sort out the documents in my office!"

"Okay, boss!"

Bakken discussed with Paul for a long time, and the final decision was to run away temporarily.

no way.

After all, they are just unknown people coming from Germany. Faced with such a huge military background as the Bentwall base, they are naturally powerless to resist and cannot afford to provoke it. They can only find a way to escape from here and keep their products and core technologies.

Gu Ji was also thinking about his next plan.

Originally, he just wanted to find an excuse for cooperation to temporarily send Bakken and Paul away, but he didn't expect that Hott would hold on to the two of them so tightly.

Because of this little episode.

His identity as "Sahana" must have been exposed to Hott.

In this way.

If Hott's men fail to capture Bakken and Paul, they will definitely turn around and capture him.

Then Gu Ji's plan to stay in Ellington Town and help the mayor control the smog like last week will not work.

But it's not a big deal.

As early as the morning when he reported to the mayor, he had already written down all the governance plans in his notebook.

When the time comes, just hand it over to the mayor, and I believe the final effect should be the same.

"Brother Baken, what are you doing..."

Just as everyone in the company was busy moving equipment around.

Henk suddenly came back with a windshield, and was confused when he saw this scene.

After much deliberation, Baken finally told the boy, who was only seventeen or eighteen years old, the truth.

When Henk heard that someone was trying to seize technology, his deep-seated disgust for capitalist exploitation immediately erupted.

"Fuck! These vampires in the military are so greedy. Brother Bakken, why don't you just go to my house for a while? Although the place is a bit shabby, it is in a remote location and will be difficult to be discovered for a while!"

"That's a good idea! We just don't have anywhere to go..."

When Paul heard this, his worried face suddenly lit up with joy.

Bakken also put down the equipment in his hand, wiped it on his body, and shook Henk's hand tightly, "Thank you, little brother Henk! When my company recovers in the future, you can come and work with me. I promise to make you a lot of money!"

"good!"

Henk nodded equally excitedly.

Gu Ji saw all of this and couldn't help but look at the boy a little more.

If this round goes smoothly.

Then according to the "Complete History Theory", all this should also happen in the real world.

Considering the current friendship between Henk and Bakken, this kid will surely be a part of the future THEO organization!

"Ms. Sahana, I know you have great powers, but this is Bakken's promise."

Several people packed their luggage quickly.

Before leaving, Baken came to Gu Ji and took out a dirty white coin from his pocket:

"This is a coin I made myself. If you need it in the future, you can give it to the owner of a tavern called 'Hanger' in the city. I will definitely show up at that time."

"good."

Gu Ji took the coin from Bakken.

It is a hand-cast white copper coin with a very complex black sphere engraved in the middle, which somewhat resembles a black hole celestial body.

But the first black hole was observed by humans in 1964.

At this time, it was impossible for Buchan to know what a black hole looked like. Could it be a "mysterious sphere"?

While he was thinking, Bakken and Paul had already left the Volut company's yard in Henk's black vintage car.

Looking at the rear of the car disappearing in the fog.

Gu Ji suddenly reacted.

Could it be that it was his reminder that changed Buchan's original determination to expand his business in London, and finally he went to the United States to establish the future Volut business empire.

In the end, it was he who changed the fate of Bakken.

still;

He was originally a link in this chain of destiny...

Temporarily solve the Bakken line.

Gu Ji drove to the office building of Ellington Town, handed the smog prevention booklet in his hand to Mayor Field, and prepared to leave on foot.

The reason why he chose not to drive was because the burgundy car of the man in the windbreaker was too eye-catching.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Moreover, the special forces under Hott were not fools. Even if there was interference from the smog, it would still be easy for them to find him based on the tire marks.

As expected.

Just as Gu Ji packed his backpack, changed into a new set of clothes in the car, and prepared to head to the next destination.

A dull roar came faintly from the fog.

He stopped alertly, squinted his eyes, and tried to see who was coming through the fog.

As the engine sounds got closer, several military green off-road vehicles slowly drove into the town. The bright yellow headlights looked like dormant beasts in the fog, and the wheels made dull sounds as they rolled over the wet ground.

Gu Ji immediately stepped back to the side of the car and squatted, carefully peeking out from the front of the car.

The convoy finally stopped in front of the Bakken Company compound.

Many black figures filed down from the cars. They were wearing heavy black military uniforms and S10 gas masks, and looked particularly hideous in the fog.

It's Hott!

I didn't expect them to move so quickly.

Gu Ji narrowed his eyes.

Fortunately, it didn't take him long to persuade Bakken. If he had been a step slower, he might have been caught by Hott!

"Now that he found out that Bakken had run away, he will target me next. It seems like I can't go back to town today..."

He had originally wanted to get close to Sheriff Penny in order to pave the way for the discovery of a UFO tomorrow morning, but of course his plan had failed.

Gu Ji found an opportunity, lowered the brim of his hat, walked out from behind the car, and quickly disappeared into the haze.

Since he could no longer stay in the town, the only place he had left was the Rendel Forest.

That's right.

He planned to stay in the forest until tomorrow morning to see with his own eyes whether the UFO Penny mentioned was a human or a ghost.

Thanks to the windbreaker man for giving enough money.

In order to facilitate movement, Gu Ji specially bought a set of outdoor clothing and a pair of Martin boots to replace "Sahana"'s original wool coat and low-heeled shoes.

Moreover, the new outfit would make it easier for him to counter the military's tracking.

The distance from Ellington Town to Rundle Forest is not far, only less than three kilometers.

Before we knew it, it was already afternoon.

The smog began to worsen and visibility became extremely low. Gu Ji could only rely on his memory and ORS satellite navigation to grope forward.

At first, he could occasionally encounter one or two figures passing by;

But as we got further away from the town, there was no trace of people at all, only some abandoned farm tools and dilapidated carriages scattered on the roadside;

There are some crooked trees on the roadside with bare branches, which look particularly gloomy in the fog, like a bunch of dry hands reaching out, with a sense of weirdness and desolation like the movie "Silent Hill".

If it were usual, Gu Ji really wouldn't be afraid.

But the scenes that Penny described last week would appear in his mind from time to time, inexplicably giving him goose bumps.

He doesn't believe in ghosts or gods.

But that doesn't mean he doesn't believe in the supernatural.

Especially after Gu Ji personally experienced the game system and the mysterious sphere.

More than an hour later, Gu Ji finally arrived at the edge of the Rundel Forest.

As soon as I entered, a damp and rotten smell hit me in the face, mixed with the pungent smell of the haze, which was nauseating.

The tall trees around blocked out the sun, and their thick trunks twisted and coiled, like ancient monsters lurking in this gloomy environment.

The ground was covered with thick fallen leaves. Every time Gu Ji took a step, his feet made a rustling sound, which was particularly clear in the silent forest.

Gu Ji didn't dare to go directly to the place where Penny discovered the UFO.

Because he knew that thing had strong radiation.

He didn't think he would be as lucky as Penny. What if he was like the policeman named Lester, who was exposed to excessive radiation and died halfway? Then everything he had done this round would be in vain!

then.

Gu Ji found a location that was relatively far away from the target point but could provide unobstructed observation.

He spread the tarpaulin on the ground.

Take out the Polaroid camera, food, charcoal, kerosene lighter, and a small wood stove from the backpack.

no way.

In London in December, with low temperatures in the early morning and high humidity and fog, if there were no heating facilities, he would sooner or later suffer from hypothermia and freeze to death in the woods.

Gu Ji collected some relatively dry branches from the surrounding area, tore them into small pieces, and used them as auxiliary fuel for charcoal.

Thanks to military system skills, natural disaster system knowledge, and various wilderness survival skills stolen from Yassen, his ability to survive in the wild is absolutely top-notch.

After lighting the charcoal, Gu Ji put on the lid to prevent the open flame from exposing himself.

While warming your hands, tear open the packaging of bread and chocolate, take off the mask first, put it in your mouth while holding your breath, then put it back on and swallow it, so as to minimize the inhalation of haze.

After eating and drinking, he stayed where he was to recuperate.

Until almost evening.

[Goal: Survive for 8 hours! ]

【Please choose your reward! 】

[Firearms Expertise (Perfect)] or [Respiratory Medicine Skill Expertise (Very Perfect)]

Look at the two options before you.

Although they all seemed to be of some use, Gu Ji still felt that they were not perfectly adapted to the current level environment.

Thinking that I still have three reward refreshes.

Then an idea came to mind.

[Do you want to refresh the current task reward? ]

【yes!】

There was a flash of orange light before my eyes.

【Please select your new reward! 】

[Visual Improvement (Very Perfect)] or [Weapons and Equipment Pack (Historical Limited)]

Gu Ji raised his eyebrows.

The latter should refer to the weapons and equipment of this era, which seem very practical, but for him, the only trouble that really needs to be solved with guns is the Bentwall base.

The latter is far from something he can easily contend with alone, and he will definitely need the support of T1 special forces and heavy attack aircraft.

This is also the reason why Gu Ji did not choose to buy a gun.

Even if he really encounters an emergency, the [HEMI electromagnetic paralysis bomb] in his hand is enough to help him deal with it.

“Do you want to refresh it again?”

Gu Ji hesitated for a moment and felt that his luck in this round was not good, so it would be better to save more opportunities for later.

So I chose the visual imprint directly.

Anyway, the improved vision is very practical in foggy environments.

Especially the UFO that Gu Ji is about to face.

[New goal: Ensure the safety of citizens in the southern area of ​​London (do everything possible to prevent any disaster from happening in the next 24 hours)! ]

Regarding this new task, Gu Ji thinks it is a good evaluation method.

If the subsequent plot is really as he guessed last week;

Even though Bakken and Paul were rescued this time, the anthrax incident still happened, which proves that Bakken was not the one who was in charge of this matter. There must be a very key person behind this.

His intuition told him.

This person may very well be the one who changes Bakken’s future life and may even be the real core of the establishment of THEO organization!

A cold night is coming.

Gu Ji endured one hour after another, and the charcoal in the stove was replaced with the third batch.

He raised his wrist. It was 2:30 in the morning of December 6th.

Judging from the time, it should be very close to the time when the first eyewitness Lester reported discovering the UFO.

But it was still pitch black all around.

As the Rendel Forest is sparsely populated and covered by thick smog, it is almost pitch dark.

Fortunately, Gu Ji got a visual upgrade.

You can barely distinguish which are the treetops and which are the sky through the diffuse light from the stars and the moon.

"Shasha..." (End of this chapter)
