Red Chapter (Fifty-Three) The Way Out
"Fill with water?" "Shadow Blade" smiled bitterly, "Big brother, you don't know the situation, right?" You made the kettle look like a plugging the crack, but it also destroyed the spatial structure inside, and now, this is an ordinary kettle, how much water do you expect it to hold? I'm afraid it's not enough for 'Qixue' to last for two days! And if we can get out of the desert in two days, the water will be meaningless! ”
"I'm sorry." On the back of the "barricade", the weak voice of "Qixue" was full of apologies, "If it weren't for my burden, your water resources would at least last a few more days." ”
"Qixue" in her hometown of Japan, also known as the "Snow Girl", as the "sober person" who controls the blizzard and the north wind, her life is firmly linked to water, she is weak all over the body if she does not touch the water for a day, and in the desert where water resources are scarce, "Qixue" is like being in purgatory, and the amount of water she consumes in a day is enough for "barricades" and "shadow blades" to support three or four days.
"Otherwise, you go first! I'll stay! Unable to display her abilities and consuming a lot of resources, "Qixue" knew that she had dragged down the team, and without her, "Shadow Blade" and "Barricade" would definitely be able to support for a few more days, and maybe they would be able to leave this hellish place.
"Don't be stupid!" "Shadow Blade" had a smile on his face, very optimistic, "It's not you, we've hung up a long time ago!" If I leave you here, what will 'Cobra' do in the future? Boss Verina won't hack me to death yet! ”
"That's it!" "Barricade" adjusted his body, trying to make the "Qixue" on his back more comfortable, "There is no habit of discarding the old, weak, sick and disabled in the family!" Die! It's a big deal! And, I don't believe it, we're so unlucky! At the last moment, Sister Verina will definitely send rescuers, and then boast in front of us, waiting for us to be grateful to Dade! ”
"Shadow Blade" and "Qixue" let out a happy laugh, and "Barricade" touched his head, a little unclear.
"Shadow Blade" held back a smile and said, "Silly big man, after all these years, you finally have a sense of humor!" It seems that the roasted head is not a bad thing for you, at least, it is enlightened! ”
"you! I've always been smart, okay? But you didn't find out! "Barricade" was halfway through his words, and his face darkened, "Here it is!" Grandma's, I didn't expect it to be able to outrun them! ”
"Nonsense! How good are we to walk on our legs! I ask you, are you afraid? "Shadow Blade" took care of his clothes, and if he died, he couldn't be a beggar and show Verina a joke.
"Don't be afraid!" There is no smell of flinch and fear on the body of the "barricade".
"Qixue" shook her head and said, "Silly big man, let me down!" If I die, I'm going to stand too! ”
"Barricade" hesitated, but "Shadow Blade" nodded at him, resolutely ignited in the eyes of "Barricade", carefully put down "Qixue", in front of the three of them, a huge sandstorm was overwhelming, swept in, but this sandstorm was by no means ordinary, red, green, white, yellow, all kinds of light spots of different sizes flickered and dimmed in the sandstorm.
"The glory of the family will always be there!" Shadow Blade's right hand slammed into his heart.
"The black rose will never wither!" "Barricade" and "Qixue" shouted, making the same gesture as "Shadow Blade".
The horse's hooves left a series of lonely footprints in the desert, the pale old horse, old and spiritual, the cruelty of the desert, under its hooves, like a garden for leisurely strolling. The owner of the old horse, wearing a cowboy hat, a black tight vest, a strong, aesthetically pleasing body, a large leather trench coat, jeans, and beautifully made riding boots, even in the western United States, it is estimated that it is difficult to see a cowboy dressed so orthodox.
The cowboy walks aimlessly in the desert, where others are subjected to the rigors of death, but he enjoys it.
The howling of the wind aroused the cowboy's alarm, no matter how confident he was, this force of nature was not something that could be countered at will, and the cowboy was thinking about whether to take advantage of the sandstorm to get around here while the sandburst was still some distance away from him, but he heard something in his ears that interested him, and the cowboy patted the old man's neck and walked leisurely in the direction of the sandstorm.
"Get out of the way! Get out of the way! What about people? What about people? The sound of impatient footsteps pushed open the automatic glass door, and the halls, where doctors, nurses, and patients came and went, all stopped and looked in amazement at the people who had almost rudely intruded, but none of them dared to complain a word about the intruder's rude behavior, they were more incredulous.
"Silly? Are you all stupid? What are you doing one by one? What about the person in charge? Don't hurry up yet! The intruder roared loudly and rageily, but no one present dared to accuse him. In fact, there was a rumor of the intruder before he arrived, an open secret that everyone had anticipated this moment in advance.
"I'm sorry! Even you! I also want to remind you! Here, it's the hospital! Please respect yourself! A middle-aged man in a white lab coat hurried in, alerting the intruder in a humble and arrogant manner.
A slender and white hand grabbed the doctor's collar and lifted the doctor up, "Don't grind with the old lady!" What am I doing, you should know! What about you, I ask? Verina stared at the doctor, her green eyes staring at the man in her hand like a viper.
"Miss! Please respect yourself! I can understand how you feel when this happens! But don't forget who you are, and where you are! The doctor looked into Verina's eyes and said confidently, this is a hospital, not anyone's home, and you can make a fuss as much as you want.
Grabbing the doctor's hand and increasing the force, the doctor felt a little difficult to breathe, but he still held on, staring at Verina's eyes.
Just when the doctor felt that breathing was gradually becoming difficult, a gust of wind blew in, "Miss! ”
Vanessa grabbed Verina's wrist, "What are you going to do?" Strangled the doctor of the 'garden' in public? ”
The hand was trembling, and it increased its strength, and when the doctor felt suffocation, he suddenly let go, and the doctor fell to the ground, Verina bent down, helped the doctor on the ground with both hands, and bowed deeply, "I'm sorry! I'm out of control, but they're brothers and sisters to me, and I can't control it. ”
The doctor waved his hand and said, "I can understand your feelings, but please don't forget your identity, your status, and you are destined to do more and bear more than us." ”
"I'm really sorry!" Verina bowed again, tears streaming down her face, "What the hell happened to them?" Are there any dangers? ”
"They are undergoing surgery, rest assured, there is no danger to life, but their physical condition is too bad, and many injuries also need to be treated by surgery, do you have to wait outside the operating room?" The doctor asked.
Verina nodded heavily, in the "garden" all need to be treated by surgery, Verina can't imagine how serious this injury is.
"Don't worry, it's just a minor operation, and it will be done in no time. Still, thanks to that friend of yours, he's really powerful, and death doesn't seem to dare to come near him with him. "The doctor tried to relax his biggest boss with a little more lightheartedness.
"Friends?" Verina and Vanessa looked at each other, and the two quickly smiled again, "Yes! With him, death is the least thing to fear. ”
Outside the operating room, there is only a cowboy waiting alone in the chair.
"Sure enough, it's you!" Footsteps approached quickly, and Verina had a faint smile on her face.
"I haven't seen you in a while, Her Royal Highness Celestial Princess." Cowboy stood up and took off his hat, and Death nodded to Verina.
"I owe you this time!" Verina thought for a moment and added, "I personally owe you!" ”
Death shrugged his shoulders and said, "Then I'm a big loss, I've been getting together with you, and others have mistakenly thought that I have taken refuge in you." ”
"That's it! Don't think I can't guess your calculations. Verina squinted at Death, "Tomorrow, afternoon tea, old time." ”
Death smiled with satisfaction, "It's always good to make a deal with you, except that time!" ”
Ten minutes passed, Verina couldn't sit still for a second, and she couldn't enter the operating room, so she could only pace back and forth outside the door of the operating room.
"You're not at ease when I'm here?" In Death's view, Verina's behavior is a bit funny, with him, the people on the operating table will definitely not be in danger of life, and the advanced medical equipment and technology of the "garden" can ensure that the person who performs the operation will not leave sequelae, let alone become disabled, Verina really has no need to worry.
"I told you, and you don't understand." The anxiety on Verina's face still didn't decrease, "By the way, why are you still here?" ”
"Are you sure you want me to leave?" Death asked rhetorically.
Seeing Death, Verina showed a serpent-like expression, took two steps back and forth, and sat down next to Death, "Say!" ”
The small truck was bumpy on the rugged mountain road, and on the body, there were three people dressed as peasants, two of them were discussing something, and the other person, covering his face with a big straw hat, was sleeping comfortably in this bumpy, bright sun, in the eyes of ordinary people, this was just an ordinary small truck, but the driver of the truck knew that his small truck was far less innocent than it looked.
Under the driver's seat, there are several forged license plates, and every once in a while, he has to go to an acquaintance to "rework" the car, maintain the engine, replace the tires, and most importantly, remove the old number on the engine, print the new number, and repaint the car.
Postman, a handful of gray-bearded, modestly dressed drivers, like to call their profession so. He was a native of Italy, and after the age of twenty, he learned all kinds of skills from his father, and after the age of thirty-five, he officially took over his father's car keys, and now, he decided to work for another three or five years, and passed on the craft to his son, slowly retreating into the background.
The postman's job is quite simple, which is to transport all kinds of "goods" from one place to another, but in the eyes of the police, his job is not so popular. Because, as long as the employer can afford the right price, whether the "goods" are things or people, legal or illegal, he will be lucky.
The police have not "chatted" with him once or twice, but there is no way to take him, this profession that has been passed down for a long time, has long had a variety of risk-avoidance skills, they have a perfect industrial structure and a huge network of relationships, hundreds of years of development, the carriage has been changed into a car, but the traditional bottom line, no one has ever touched.
The most important thing is that whether it is the mafia or politicians, these big shots, who do not have a little, do not see the light of day. Therefore, as long as he is not arrested, even if the police find the door and close it for a month at most, the case will be hastily closed due to insufficient evidence and other reasons, and he can continue to transport his goods.
Having worked in this industry all his life, he thinks he has seen all the strange goods, but this time there is obviously something special about it.
Politicians and the mafia have always shaken hands only in private, but this time there was a special exception, a politician who is quite famous in the country, and a mafia godfather who ranks among the top three in Italy, the two of them came to him personally, and the moment the two employers appeared at the same time, he had a hunch that this would be a very special commission.
As he expected, the politician and the godfather were entrusted with the same goods, three men and one woman, a total of four people. The price offered by the two employers is also very attractive, but many years of experience have not made him dizzy in the face of wealth, opportunities and dangers coexist, the higher the employer's bid, often indicating that the more dangerous the commission. Pick up? Or don't pick up? He has been a postman all his life, but he hesitated before the biggest commission in his life, if something goes wrong, he will be the one who is unlucky, as long as he falls into the hands of the police once, he will spend the rest of his life in prison!
But what he didn't expect was that this time, it was really a windfall from heaven on his head, and he had never encountered a easier job in his life.
Three men and one woman, with the official passport of Italy, with the mafia to open up all relations, in short, all the risks that can be thought of, under the full cooperation of black and white, have been excluded one by one, what he has to do, it seems, is to transport a few tourists who are more legal than him, to the designated place, and then, he can have a legal income that can not be spent in several lifetimes into his bank account, as long as he is willing, after doing this trip, using the remuneration obtained, and even the entire family can completely get out of this business, Whitewashed into a legitimate family businessman.
Everything seemed perfect, the only strange thing was the place of delivery, the Vatican, he thought he had heard it wrong at first, but the politicians and the godfather assured him that the Vatican was right, and what he wanted to do was to send these four legitimate tourists into the Vatican without the Vatican discovering it.
