Noon.
Today was George’s day off, and he had co to that coffee shop again to et with Mr. D.
Over the past month, there had been so strange people appearing on the streets. George saw many followers enter a hotel, only to disappear without a trace thereafter.
He wasn’t clear on what was happening inside the hotel, but he had heard about the "blood ceremony" from the lips of followers. Those soldiers, more than 3 ters tall, that started appearing on the streets must be related to it.
The soldiers were tall with skin the color of steel gray, nearly identical to Kui Kui Ge. They were silent and proud, both n and won, as if they had been carved from the sa mold as Kui Kui Ge.
Thinking of the transformation Kui Kui Ge went through, it wasn’t hard for George to guess that these soldiers were involved in so evil transformation. No matter how he thought about it, it made him feel uncomfortable all over.
Mr. D had been waiting in the farthest corner of the coffee shop for a while. Upon seeing George enter, he quickly waved and signaled for him to co over, having already purchased the coffee.
"George! What has happened in the city this month?" Mr. D asked, not even waiting for George to sit down.
Even Mr. D had noticed the tall Iron Man soldiers walking around the city. George could tell that those giants frightened him.
"Don’t panic, our plan won’t change, we haven’t exposed our ages," George said soothingly.
"I must know what kind of threats we’re going to face. You don’t understand, George, these are His armies He’s using to conquer the world! Even if you escape, you’ll have to face Him, there’s no absolutely safe place," Mr. D said.
"I can’t think that far, Old D. I’ve been in this godawful place for many years, I don’t want to be turned into a monster! Even if He wants to take His armies to conquer the world later, that’s none of my business. Get out of here, and His army won’t have ! That’s what I care about most!" George said.
"Alright, I can understand how you feel, Old Qiao. So, are you ready? How is Black dicine doing?" Mr. D asked.
"It’s still just sitting there in the lab, plugged in. I suspect they’ve forgotten all about it," George replied.
"Good, then you can start preparing. We’re going to act in a few days. You best pick a ti to confirm the escape route, and we’ll wait for you at the swamp," Mr. D said.
"Get my gold out first," George replied.
Mr. D shook his head and said, "We have to see the Black dicine first."
"The Black dicine will definitely be handed over to you, but look, can we transport it in batches? My gold is in the apartnt, that would be an easier task," George suggested.
"The Black dicine is our chance to fight Him. It’s our top priority, you have to understand, George. This isn’t just a rescue mission; your life and His Black dicine are tied together," Mr. D said.
George gritted his teeth and didn’t speak, rely nodding and downing his coffee in one gulp.
Mr. D added, "I can’t say exactly when, but there’s probably going to be a big battle in a few days."
"What do you an? Wait a minute... the Council is going to... attack here?" George asked, both hopeful and incredulous.
"Not us, but there is indeed soone decided to do this foolish thing. He either has a trump card we don’t know about, or he’s really stupid," Mr. D said.
"How big a battle? Are they preparing to send troops over? Or are they just going to launch fireworks from afar? There’s no way to use electronic devices here, the satellites in the sky have been burned up, missiles can’t be precisely guided," George said.
"It might be both, I’m not sure. But this chaos might give us the chance to slip away. You sneak out, and we sneakily take you away. It’s going to be dangerous, we’ll probably have to cross the entire battlefield on that day. The city will also be locked down, which is why I told you to get ready fast, at least familiarize yourself with the route and see if it’s viable. If there are difficulties, we can send a few people to help you and provide so equipnt and supplies," Mr. D said.
"I’ve already scoped that route, did it a long ti ago. You guys should send two people to help move stuff. I can’t run with both gold and the Black dicine by myself, unless you want to make two trips," George said.
"Okay... we’ll send a three-man squad to help you. Here, take this," Mr. D said as he slid a shortwave walkie-talkie across to George.
"A phone?" George didn’t recognize it.
"This is military equipnt, it uses a personal carrier radio for signal transmission, you can pull out a single-channel earpiece from the bottom, and you can also clip it onto your belt. The squad we send will use a bump chicken to contact you, and they’ll help you move the Black dicine out while providing so protection," Mr. D explained.
George weighed the device in his hand. It was about half the size of a phone but much thicker. He grabbed the earpiece from the bottom and pulled out a 2-ter-long cord with a snap.
"Don’t forget my gold," George reminded.
"Then get ready! Drag your gold to an exit and hide it. This way we won’t need to carry both the Black dicine and the gold at the sa ti," Mr. D said.
George nodded and replied, "Alright alright, that’s what we’ll do. I’ll go prepare tonight. If you’re ready to move, make sure to tell in advance."
"Don’t worry, I’ll co find you the day before the action," Mr. D assured him.
After their conversation, Mr. D left the city. A week later, in the White Strait covert base of the United Council, Wang Ye, Leng Kai, and Wang Mingxue were called into the conference room by Commander Lu and Price.
As soon as Wang Mingxue entered the conference room, she habitually put on her AR glasses, but what was hung on the blackboard was indeed a paper map of Etolia.
Price was sitting in a chair, smoking a cigar. His hair had gone completely white, but he still looked spirited.
Commander Lu, over 90 years old, was spry and full of vigor, standing in front of the map in a state of contemplation.
As the three entered the room, Price said, "There’s a mission for you."
"I’ve guessed where we’re headed," Wang Mingxue said.
She elbowed Leng Kai and added, "Don’t be impulsive this ti, we still aren’t in a position to kill Him."
"You tell him that. Ever since the last mission, he’s been looking like he wants to eat soone," Leng Kai shrugged, glancing back at Wang Ye.
Wang Ye sat down on a plastic chair, quietly watching the blackboard.
"We have a VIP in Etolia who needs to be rescued. He works for Him as a research scientist specializing in Black dicine. Our spy has contacted him several tis, and he has a strong desire to escape," Commander Lu explained.
"A research scientist... Is he that valuable? We’d be pulling soone out right from under His nose," Wang Mingxue said.
"It’s not about him; it’s about His Black dicine," Price interjected.
"His Black dicine...? He’s excreted Black dicine?! Then aren’t we..." Leng Kai slapped his thigh.
"No, hold on. Don’t jump the gun," Price said, waving his hand to calm them down.
