long night fire

They brought a few canned meats, a few packets of instant noodles, and a few packets of dehydrated vegetables from the trunk of the Jeep, and they cooked dinner on the induction cooker.

——In the beginning, there were many hunters in the ruins of the city, and there were also many troops who went out to perform missions. There was a market for similar convenience foods, forming a complete industrial chain, and the "Old Tune Team" was a team with rich experience in wild survival. , will ensure that they have a batch of easy-to-storage food in hand.

The beef was big and delicious, and the instant noodles decorated with many vegetables were cooked quickly, and the rich and strange aroma wafted throughout the room.

Because there were only two stools beside the dining table, Shang Jianyao filled the lunch box with food, walked to the window, and looked outside while hula-la eating.

Following his example, Long Yuehong also came to the window.

After eating a piece of beef and drinking a sip of noodle soup, he cast his eyes out of the window.

In the continuous rain, in the deep and hazy darkness, the windows of the houses revealed yellowish lights that seemed to be rendered outside.

Against the backdrop of the lights, there are figures moving around, or rubbing their heads, or eating, or hugging children, or cuddling with each other.

On the street outside the house, there are still many pedestrians passing by in a hurry. Some of them are holding umbrellas and raincoats, and some of them can only lower their heads and cover with their hands.

These pedestrians turn into a certain house from time to time, always picking up their own figure and complaining.

For some reason, Long Yuehong suddenly felt peaceful and warm.

After a long silence, he said to himself:

"We are looking forward to the turmoil in the original city, isn't it good?"

This will destroy the lives and futures of many, many people.

Jiang Baimian put down the lunch box, stood up, walked to the window, and said seriously:

"It's not something that just doesn't happen if we don't look forward to it."

Bai Chen swallowed the instant noodles in his mouth, and glanced sideways at Long Yuehong:

"Even if there is no turmoil, the future of many people here is at most two or three years, or even shorter."

Antana Street is extremely close to the factory area.

These words ruthlessly shattered Long Yuehong's feelings.

Shang Jianyao also looked at Long Yuehong, and said seriously:

"'First City' cannot save all mankind."

"..." Long Yuehong was speechless.

Jiang Baimian smoothed things over in time:

"Eat quickly, the noodles are almost swollen."

"Hmm." Long Yuehong quickly turned her attention to the lunch box in her hand.

When the "Old Tune Group" had enough food and drinks, they took out the radio transceiver to see if there were any new instructions from the company.

When the appointed time came, the call back from "Pangaea" arrived as scheduled.

This time the content was more than usual, and Jiang Baimian dictated a paragraph after translating it:

"The company praised our idea of ​​grouping, let the team in the wasteland on the north shore focus on intelligence collection, let the team back to the original city try, try to deal with 'Garibaldi'..."

ah?Isn't this the company's intelligence officer?Long Yuehong quickly recalled who "Garibaldi" was.

Bai Chen frowned and asked:

"Has he been caught? No, if he is caught, he should be rescued, not supported."

Jiang Baimian nodded and continued to decode:

"'Garibaldi' was notified by the company, and it was too late to start the plan, so he could only rely on the key of the enemy, and directly hid in the other party's house.

"He was afraid of being discovered and only stole a small amount of food and water every day. Now, what he carried is almost finished and he is a little bit overwhelmed.

"Well, his enemy is called Old K."

After Shang Jianyao finished listening, he praised "Garibaldi" with appreciation:

"very creative."

Chapter 163 Before and After

After listening to the general task content, Bai Chen didn't quite understand and said:

"The company has a complete intelligence network in the original city, and there must be more than our team who can use it. Why did you entrust us with the task of responding to 'Garibaldi'?"

In comparison, those in the intelligence system are more familiar with "Garibaldi" and have a better understanding of the situation.

"Because we are amazing!" Shang Jianyao replied immediately.

Long Yuehong was a little ashamed immediately, because he knew that Shang Jianyao was just talking nonsense, but he could only think of such a reason for a while.

Jiang Baimian said:

"If we fail, we will only lose one of our teams and 'Garibaldi'. If others fail, the entire intelligence network may be terminated."

"..." Although Long Yuehong didn't want to admit it, she still felt that the group leader's words made some sense.

It's just that this reasoning is too cold and heartless, right?

Seeing his reaction, Jiang Baimian chuckled lightly:

"Okay, just kidding, if 'Garibaldi' is caught, the company's intelligence network in the original city will definitely be severely damaged. If I were the minister, I must have ordered those who met 'Garibaldi' Urgently evacuate the initial city, and the others cut off the connection with 'Garibaldi', so as to make the worst result not too bad.

"The company asked us to save 'Garibaldi', it should be based on two considerations:

"One, the situation in the original city is tense now. The company's intelligence personnel here should be quiet and not move. The primary goal is to reduce the risk of exposure, so as not to be affected, and we are in the eyes of the intelligence system of the 'original city' in the 'hand of order'. Having already escaped from the city, no one will be staring at him, and it is more convenient to move.

"Second, our strength is indeed very strong..."

At the end, Jiang Baimian also laughed.

Obviously, the second point was just a reason she randomly pulled out, in order to respond to Shang Jianyao's words just now.

Of course, "Pangaea" will definitely consider this factor when assigning tasks, but the weight is not too big. After all, it doesn't seem too difficult to deal with "Garibaldi".

Bai Chen nodded, no more doubts.

Jiang Baimian took advantage of the opportunity to translate the content behind the telegram, which was mainly the introduction of old K's situation, which was quite simple.

"Old K, whose real name is Colenza, is an import and export businessman. He has connections with several veterans and nobles, and has dealt with several major gangs. Among them, the gang organization 'Red Army' is involved in import and export business. , and old K are incompatible..." Jiang Baimian began to recount in a general tone.

"It doesn't sound easy." Long Yuehong said.

"Why did 'Garibaldi' become enemies with him and was shot dead by someone?" Bai Chen asked a new question.

Jiang Baimian shook his head:

"It wasn't in the telegram."

"I think it's because of love and hatred." Shang Jianyao raised his hand and touched his chin.

Jiang Baimian was about to say that there was a possibility, but Shang Jianyao had already started to add on his own:

"Old K fell in love with 'Garibaldi', 'Garibaldi' moved on and abandoned him..."

...Long Yuehong was so full of words that he didn't know what to say. In the end, he could only mock:

"If you can't get it together, you will be destroyed?"

"There are many people like this, you have to be careful." Shang Jian Yao nodded sincerely.

Jiang Baimian cleared his throat and said:

"That's not the point. What we need to do now is to collect more information about Old K, observe his residence, that is, the place where 'Garibaldi' hides, and then formulate a feasible plan.

"Speaking of which, the place where old K lives is quite close to Hey's good friend."

This refers to Terrence, the second boss of the "Black Shirt Party".

Old K lived only three streets away from the gang leader's house, closer to the Golden Apple District.

Having said that, Jiang Baimian laughed at himself:

"The older you are, the less courageous you are. When we first arrived in the original city, we dared to visit Terence directly and try to 'convince' him, not to be afraid of accidents, but now, we don't have a full understanding, and we don't have a perfect plan. , or let 'Garibaldi' starve, he won't starve to death in a while."

"That's different." Bai Chen calmly responded, "At that time, we already knew Terence through the gang members of the 'Wolf's Lair', and the key to the action plan is to get ahead, as long as Terence is not a 'psychic' Awakened people at the corridor' level, or those who have the ability and price to restrain Shang Jianyao, we can all successfully make 'friends'."

As for now, the fact that the "Old Tune Group" is wanted makes it impossible for them to visit Old K directly and start a dialogue.

This lost the best environment to use Shang Jianyao's ability.

Jiang Baimian nodded lightly and said:

"In short, this time we have to push forward step by step and not be reckless.

"Well, the old K's friendship with a large number of nobles is a great hidden danger, and it may bring accidents at any time."

……

After a short rest, the "Old Tune Team" took advantage of the rainy night to drive to the Red Giant Wolf District, intending to make a preliminary observation of Old K and his residence tonight. At the same time, they planned to prepare several additional safe houses .

At this time, the rain had lightened a lot, and it was falling sparsely, and the street lamps beside the street were dyed with circles of halos, creating some kind of dreamy colors in the dark night.

The disguised "old tune team" either came directly to the door, or through "friends", and completed the construction of three new safe houses.

Then, they came to Masgar Street where old K lived.

Looking at the house at No. 54 from a distance, Jiang Baimian leaned back on the seat and said thoughtfully:

"It's only what time, all the curtains are drawn..."

She's referring to any place that has curtains, places like the kitchen, that still have light coming through.

"Not normal." Bai Chen expressed his opinion.

It's just after nine o'clock. For those heavy physical laborers in the Green Olive District, it's time to rest, but for those with a lot of assets in the Red Giant Wolf District, the night has just begun.

And old K is obviously one of them.

Under such a premise, the curtains of the living room facing the street were all pulled up to cover them tightly, which seemed very problematic.

"Maybe they want to perform a shadow puppet show." Shang Jianyao said with admiration as he looked at the black shadows that occasionally appeared on the curtains.

No one ignored him.

Jiang Baimian pondered for a few seconds:

"We monitor the front door and the back door separately."

Not long after, Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao found a suitable monitoring point on the top of an apartment building two streets away. Bai Chen and Long Yuehong also drove to a place where they could observe the back door area and had a sufficient distance.

Surveillance is very boring most of the time. Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao have long adapted to this kind of life and have no patience.

The only thing that bothered them a little was that the rain had not stopped and the wind was strong on the roof, so they would inevitably be drenched.

As time passed by, Jiang Baimian saw the main entrance of Old K's house facing the street open, and several people came out.

One of them, as broad and thick as a wall, was the Sheriff Wall whom the "Old Tune Group" had known.

One of the few people who sent Wall out of the door was wearing a white shirt and a black vest. His hair was neatly combed back, and a small amount of silver threads could be seen faintly.

His nasolabial folds have drooped a little, his brows are slightly frowned, and his eyes are dark blue. It is the target of the "Old Tune Group"'s operation this time, old K Korenza.

Old K showed a little smile, took Wall with a few of his men, and sent Wall to the car.

"Wall is really looking for the line of 'Garibaldi', and has already found old K..." Jiang Baimian muttered softly, "It's a good thing we didn't rush to the door."

She moved her eyes and noted the characteristics of Wall's police car.

In this way, by observing the vehicle, the approximate location of the other party can be judged and early warning can be given.

"Actually, we should have made friends with Sheriff Wall a long time ago." Shang Jianyao expressed deep regret.

At this time, on the other side.

Bai Chen and Long Yuehong noticed that a dark car turned from another street and stopped at the back door of old K's house.

The concealed back door opened quickly, and it was obvious that someone was waiting there.

A servant came out, holding a large dark umbrella, and opened the door of the black car.

A person got out of the car, got under the umbrella, buried his head, and hurried to the back door.

In the dark night, in the hazy rain, and under the lack of light, Long Yuehong and Bai Chen couldn't see who it was.

It was only when the person was about to disappear from their sight that they noticed that it seemed to be a woman.
