Chapter 236: The safety of the Federation is in the hands of the king
With the distance between the universe and the obstacles of thousands of mountains and rivers, Xu Le was not late, but at the last moment, he was blocked by a glass door that looked very thin and brittle, the last step. The sky and the earth could not cover his eyes, and the glass floor door in front of him was extremely transparent, but it cast a layer of haze on his heart.
The continuous firing left clear marks on the smooth glass door, but the glass door showed no signs of cracking, and I don't know what material it was made of, but it was so strong.
Xu Le and Medellin looked at each other calmly through this layer of glass, this was the first time they really met, and when they met, they had to be separated from life and death.
This is a safe house, and among the official residences of real political dignitaries of the Federation, such a last refuge is often designed, but most of the safe houses are designed mainly of high-strength alloys, and few people will choose transparent materials made of polymeric materials, does this mean that the owner of this safe house has some weirdness in terms of psychology?
It is said that there is also such a safe house in the white presidential residence in the capital SAR, which has an independent life-sustaining circulation system and extremely strong defense capabilities, which can directly resist the main guns of warships outside the atmosphere, or super explosions in the vicinity, and can also ensure that His Excellency the President hidden in the safe house can live alone and safely for seven days.
The safe house of Councillor Medellín in the Foundation building should not be more powerful than that, but without a powerful heavy firepower attack, the average assassin killer would never be able to take a step forward.
After stepping through thousands of mountains and rivers and corpses and blood, Le Cai came to the front of the Medellín Councillor, is he going to be blocked by this layer of glass?
This was the first time he had seen Medellín in reality, but he didn't bother to look at the old statesman's demeanor or the last look of embarrassment behind the glass, he just glanced at it, and walked over to the glass door, where the general's thorns stabbed into the wallpaper.
With a click, Le pried open the assembly control system of the safe house, and his blood-stained hands began to flash, quickly separating the data and power cables from the box, and then began to connect them, so so attentive that he did not hear the increasingly clear gunshots from the back of the building.
Mad, who was behind the glass door, watched this scene and slowly narrowed his eyes, he didn't know the killer outside, but he was extremely familiar with the face of this young man, and the other party was the little man named Xu Le.
"You're a genius engineer, though. But don't expect to be able to open the safe house from the outside. ”
Medellín quietly looked at Xu Le, who was silent. Coming from the intercom system in the corner of the safe house. The voice was slightly distorted.
Xu Le ignored what he was saying. Still concentrating on his work. Single-handedly stormed the Foundation building. He had gotten enough information from Qinglong Mountain beforehand. Naturally, this safe house will not be forgotten.
Although the dash was much slower than planned. Let Medellín successfully hide in it. But Xu Ledi did not feel so desperate and indignant in his heart that he was about to vomit blood. He was well prepared.
......
......
"I've always wondered who would kill you, but I didn't expect it to be you. ”
Inside the glass door, Councillor Medellín sighed as he stroked a pen in his hand.
He doesn't know how many times he has struggled between life and death in his life, whether it is the expeditionary operation against the empire back then, or the purge operation within the ** army of Qinglong Mountain, or the guerrilla warfare in the mountains later, if it wasn't for some kind of providence to protect him, he believed that he would have died a long time ago.
Xu Le outside the glass door ignored him, still busy with his own affairs, Medellin squinted at this scene, and actually had a little appreciation for this guy who was extremely calm. Of course, there is more of a faint uneasiness and anger.
Today, the presidential inauguration ceremony is being held on the S1 side, and Medellín, as a politician without any family foundation, has spent most of his life taking a curved path, just to be able to ascend to the position of president.
Yes, the Vice President, because the Vice President is also the President of the Federal Council of Management, and only the Federal Council of Management can really approach the mysterious Charter Bureau.
Medellin's eyes narrowed, and at this moment, he thought of the events of many years, if he hadn't made that trip to Bermuda, maybe he would still be a hot-blooded and upright veteran in the eyes of the Federalists, but destiny is destiny after all, and this is something that no one can change.
He didn't think he had failed, he believed that no one in the history of the universe had been more successful than himself, and although he had not been able to reach the pinnacle of the Federation's political throne, he had already obtained what the man had asked him to help him obtain many years ago.
Medellin squinted at Xu Le, who was silent and busy outside the door, knowing that the other party could not come in at all, as long as the backup forces inside the building, or the troops of the federal government, rushed over, he must be safe.
However, he didn't have much joy for the rest of his life, because in the original plan, he should have taken advantage of the inauguration ceremony of the president of the capital to go to Xilin to visit the front-line soldiers, and then quietly disappear into the universe.
All this was forcibly delayed by the small-eyed man outside the glass door. Thinking of this, a self-deprecating smile appeared on the corner of the lips of Councillor Medellín, no one in the entire universe can really see through himself, if it is the Federation that discovers his secret, if it is the Charter Bureau that discovers his secret, maybe he can accept it, but it is obvious that Xu Le outside the glass door knows nothing......
use
The mission he had completed was to be ruined by the impulse of a young man who didn't know anything, and Medellin couldn't help but touch his gray hair and sighed in his heart.
Xu Le, who was outside the door, seemed to hear this sigh in the other party's heart, he lowered his head and entered his work seriously, and suddenly asked, "There is something I have always wanted to ask you face-to-face." ”
Strangely enough, the fierce and ruthless assassin, the scheming target, was separated by a glass door, and he had a temporary peace, and could have a conversation that was unimaginable in advance.
Medellin looked at him with a smile: "Excuse me." ”
Xu Le lowered his head and quickly connected, without raising his head, and asked, "You did the things about Linhai Prefecture and the concert, right?"
Although countless ground evidence has long proved that Medellin is the cold-blooded and terrifying black hand behind the scenes, Xu Le always wants to ask this person face to face.
"Yes. ”
Medellin got up from the bottom, was able to get the support of countless lower-class people in the Federation, walked wonderfully between the government and the ** army, and was able to get the help of countless upper levels of the Federation, and was able to make people like Zhang Xiaomeng swear to follow, he must have his very good side and his unique personality charm.
So when Xu Lexiang asked, Medellin replied with a smile without thinking.
Xu Le was still low and asked, "Are you worthy of your conscience?"
Behind the glass door, Medellín was strangely silent after these seemingly innocent and naïve words, he thought of the factory and those partners he grew up in, and thought of the comrades-in-arms who had been bloody together, but then he thought of the unspeakable loneliness and the noble sense of mission in his heart over the years.
There are other people around you, what an unbearable life it is.
"Conscience is the existence of our inner moral court. Look at the planet beneath your feet, it's still turning. From the side of the glass door came the voice of the Medellín Councillor with a slight change of tone, "What I have done is in line with my own inner moral court. ”
......
......
Hearing this, Xu Le didn't say anything anymore, silently finished connecting the assembly system of the safe house, raised his wrist, and whispered to the watch: "Can you hear it?"
Cracking the safe house password requires a powerful computing platform, and in the plan, this task should belong to the high-level workbench at the top of the mountain, and the person who operates the workbench should be Magnolia.
There was no soft but reassuring answer from Secretary Bai in the headphones, Xu Le's heart gradually became cold, and in the later stage of the assault process, the magnolia on the top of the mountain disappeared - he didn't think that at the most critical moment, Secretary Bai betrayed himself, because to betray himself, Magnolia had an excellent opportunity in advance - Xu Le was just worried about whether something had happened to the Magnolia on the top of the mountain.
Without a workbench for remote decoding, how can the safe house be opened? Xu Le should have confirmed this before connecting, otherwise it would be a waste of time. But strangely, he doesn't seem to have this kind of cognition, but directly reconnected the assembly system.
With a soft sound, the eight hidden buttons of the glass door outside the safe house were all locked, which was stronger and more difficult to break than before.
He dragged his injured leg back to the glass door, raised his pistol, squinted at the circle left by the bullet on the glass door, and pulled the trigger again.
His mood was a little heavy, a little anxious.
Looking at the guns blooming on the glass door in front of him, Medellin's eyes did not blink, he was very confident in the glass door in front of him, but it was already at this time, the backup force had not come, the people from the Second Military Region had not come, the helicopter had not come, and the spaceship in the distant airport was still waiting for him, could he board the spaceship that did not require a ticket today?
His mood was also a little heavy and a little anxious.
......
......
I don't know how many light years away, in the star field outside the Federation, there is a person who is heavier and more anxious than Xu Le and Medellin, who are between life and death.
Lin Banshan, the top figure in the second generation of the Seven Families of the Federation, the most famous rebellious, can break the marriage of the two families in one sentence, is looking out of the glass window with a melancholy face, and his slightly thin and indifferent face is reflected on the glass window, which overlaps with the street scene of Bermuda's first administrative star outside the window, which seems a little unpredictable.
The living environment of Bermuda is much more treacherous than that of the Federation, even if it is the first administrative planet, the distinct seasons are also a little harsh, for example, in the deep winter outside the window at this time, the temperature has dropped to minus 30 degrees, and those smugglers who should have been wandering around the streets have to return to their lair, or spaceships.
Lin Banshan should have been in Southern Science and Technology at this time, and Zhang Xiaohua, his closest arm, was smiling silently while watching the presidential inauguration ceremony while eating meat and drinking, but as early as dozens of days ago, he quietly left the federation and came to Bermuda alone.
He was rated by his wife as a hero in troubled times, and he left his foundation so easily, his subordinates, and came here secretly at the risk, naturally he had something important to do. Many years ago, he also came to Bermuda, which was full of dangers and dangers, and laid his own country in this messy land.
Even if it was Lin Banshan, thinking of that, he couldn't help but feel a little overwhelmed and anxious, he stood in front of the window, waiting for the result of the interrogation, and his shoulders were like a knife, and he actually felt a little overwhelmed.
Turning back to his desk, a video was playing on a loop on the light screen that had not been turned off for a day and a night. The age of the video is obviously extremely old, and the painting is decent
Qing, Bermuda is not like the federation with the glorious blessing of the charter, without the support of the central electricity database, to find this video from many years ago, I have to say that Lin Banshanguo is very human.
Lin Banshan sat on the chair, squinting at the video, motionless. In the video, the respected old councillor was just a young man who had just been discharged from the army, and the two people who talked to him, one was a young fat man, and the other had a beautiful face, but they gave people a strange feeling, as if they were wearing a mask.
An instant generated file appeared on the light screen, and Lin Banshan pinched his tired eyebrows and clicked on the file.
The file is the result of the analysis of professional lip analysis experts, Lin Banshan looked at the conversations in the file, his eyes gradually narrowed, and a cold chill appeared in his eyes.
"Evening Scorpion, Gary Corridor ......" Lin Banshan muttered and repeated these two nouns, determined something, Huo Ran got up, pushed open the bookcase behind him, walked into the secret room, and said coldly to the confidential secretary: "Connect to the Charter Bureau." ”
The confidential secretary nodded, and as he went about the operation, he replied, "It will take seven minutes to synchronize." ”
"Don't care about any synchronization!" Lin Banshan scolded: "Right away!"
Whether it was a happy feud in the underground society of the Federation, or a long-sleeved dance in the universe, the most famous prodigal son of the Federation was always so calm when dealing with his subordinates and partners.
In particular, a few people in this room, who had followed him for many years, had seen him behave so cautiously for the first time, that no one dared to say anything more, and quickly began his work, connecting with the distant Federal Charter.
The door in the other corner of the secret room was pushed open, and a middle-aged man dressed in black with a cold smell came out, the middle-aged man was pale, and he was wiping the blood from his hand with a handkerchief.
Before the door closed automatically, I could vaguely see a person hiding on the chair behind the door, that person was extremely fat, with gray hair, and his old face seemed to be somewhat similar to the fat man in the video that Lin Banshan had been paying attention to before, but at this time, the old fat man was covered in blood, and his hands looked like peeled willow branches, and he didn't know how much cruel punishment he had suffered.
"He did. The middle-aged man in black walked up to Lin Banshan, an unhealthy flush appeared on his pale face, and his voice trembled slightly and said excitedly.
This middle-aged man in black came to Lin Banshan's side with Zhang Xiaohua back then, Lin Banshan has great trust in this partner, he knows better that his partner's subordinates, and his favorite thing in his life is the cruel confession, but the result of today's forced confession, even he began to feel excited and nervous, Lin Banshan thought of the answer that was about to be revealed, and his pupils couldn't help shrinking slightly.
The middle-aged man in black lowered his voice and said faintly: "The other person in the video was Prince Norton of the Empire back then. ”
Even though he was mentally prepared, even though Lin Banshan was probably the first person in the Federation to be suspicious of Medellin, when he heard this name and confirmed the mystery that he had been searching for for a long time, his mountain-like body still couldn't help but tremble slightly.
Prince Norton, His Majesty the Emperor of the Empire!
......
......
The information connection to the Charter Bureau was completed, and all the staff in the secret room withdrew, including the pale middle-aged man dressed in black. Lin Banshan stood in front of the light screen, looked at the motionless portrait on the light screen, and said in a deep voice: "The information is not synchronized, you just have to listen." ”
"In the twenty-seventh year of the thirty-seventh constitutional calendar, Medellín's father died, and he received a grant to enter the Faculty of History and Economics of the Capital University. Lin Banshan looked down at the information in his hand and said, "The central computer found out from this funding to Bermuda, so you asked me to come and help you." ”
"I have no evidence of Medellín now, but I can be sure that in the spring of the twenty-seventh year of the Constitution, Medellín visited Bermuda, and under the arrangement of the pirate chief, met with a man, who may be the Prince of Norton in the Empire. ”
"That is, His Majesty the Emperor today, I can't know why His Majesty the Emperor would venture to Bermuda, knowing that Medellín was just a small person back then. ”
"But now Medellín is a big man. Lin Banshan lowered his head and said: "He has been operating in the Federation and the ** Army for so many years, and I am worried about the coordinates of the two spatial passages of the Evening Scorpion Nebula and the Gary Corridor......
"The things we want to protect should still be in his hands, within the Federation, he has no way to send these things away, and he has not left the Federation once for years. ”
Lin Banshan raised his head, looked at the motionless light screen, and said categorically, full of murderous intent: "My suggestion is that there is no need for evidence...... Find Medellín and kill Medellín. ”
"Let me conclude by reminding you that this matter has nothing to do with politics, only with the Federation. He said this with a calm face, then turned off the light screen and walked out of the office without looking back.
"Get ready, go back to the Federation right away. Lin Banshan said melancholy, as the top talent among the seven families of the Federation, he knew better than anyone else the pedantic and sinister nature of federal politics, and he was very worried that Medellin, an enemy with full political wisdom, would take advantage of this historical inertia of the upper echelons of the Federation and find a gap that could be exploited.
The safety of the Federation is tied to Medellín alone, or more precisely, in the hands of Xu Le outside the glass door.
