Tomorrow's Ark, Second International

She really didn't expect that this seemingly ordinary shop belonged to a lamplighter.

The so-called lamplighter is another name for an intelligence officer. The owner of this shop, McMartin, code-named Cook, was arranged to lurk here almost ten years ago.

At that time, Bagpipe hadn't joined the Victorian army yet. In other words, the lamplighter was Bagpipe's predecessor, but he had been here for nearly ten years.

Being able to endure for such a long time is enough to show the chef's loyalty to the kingdom, and today is the day when he will be reactivated.

After all, French fries are still a kind of fast food, suitable for busy people to eat while walking. This so-called [McMartin Brothers French Fries Specialty Store] is not too big, as long as you enter the door, you can see the chef's work position.

Such an open cooking method is almost exclusive to roadside stalls, which makes people get closer and at the same time can see the processing process of ingredients, which makes people feel more at ease.

The bagpipe who just walked in the door immediately saw the middle-aged film man in an old but not dirty chef's uniform shaking the fryer to prevent the French fries from sticking.

He is the object of this bagpipe connection, the lamplighter McMartin code-named Chef's Point.

"Give me some fish and chips."

As soon as Bagpipe's words were spoken, McMartin's eyes changed, and he noticed the Stormtrooper uniform Bagpipe was wearing.

Ordinary people may not be able to tell the difference between the uniforms of Stormtroopers and ordinary soldiers, but McMartin is not an ordinary person, he can tell the difference very clearly.

Fish and chips are actually fried fish and French fries, but fried fish can only be made in cities with fishing grounds and cities near lakes and rivers.

Xiaoqiu County has no fishing grounds and is not close to any waters. Naturally, there is no habit of eating fish. Since it is not common, it has become a code word used by joints.

"Guest, I can't make fried fish here, can I only have French fries?"

"Then let's have some thin chips, and a Londinium newspaper by the way..."

The bagpipes were busy connecting, and on the building opposite the chip shop, a looming figure was watching here.

Belinda hadn't done her job as an observer for a long time, but this time she did the job after a long time.

There is only one sniper who can let her act as an observer, and Lilica is assembling her own weapon.

In front of the old deer, there was a crossbow arrow.

The shape of this crossbow is different from the crossbow commonly used in the world. In fact, the maker of this crossbow is the ghost army, but the source is Rhodes Island. It is the crossbow that hit the paper shredder.

The International took this crossbow and used it now to intensify the conflict between the ghost army and the storm commando.

Originally, black is more suitable for this kind of task, but buying a black crossbow can't fire this crossbow, so the old deer can only be used instead.

The target of the sniper was McMartin.

If they sniped their informants in front of the bagpipes, then the storm commando's emphasis on the ghost army would undoubtedly go up to a higher level, and this crossbow bolt was the clue for them.

As for McMartin, he undoubtedly became the ultimate victim, but he did not hesitate to compare the old deer.

As a soldier, when killing a person, he must have the consciousness of being killed. Even a new soldier understands this truth, not to mention that Lao Lu is a veteran who has been in the army for more than ten years.

Not to mention the old deer, even Belinda, who had only been a bounty hunter for a few years, didn't think there was any problem with doing so.

Although McMartin's current identity is indeed a chef, but his true identity is after all a Victorian soldier.

This identity is already the reason for his damnation, but to Lilica, whether McMartin is really dead or not is not that important.

Her task is to shoot the crossbow at McMartin, and the others are not among her tasks.

Aiming at McMartin's heart, Lilica easily pressed the trigger, which is not much more difficult than designing an immovable target.

The complete lurking without any missions for nearly ten years made McMartin's vigilance dull, and he didn't notice anything the moment before Lilica shot the crossbow.

As for after shooting the crossbow arrow?That's not what Lilica needs to pay attention to. She didn't even want to take a second look, but heard a scream.

"retreat."

Lao Lu spat out these two words softly, and Belinda, the observer, also immediately came to her side, helped Lilica put away her weapons and equipment, and left the sniper spot without looking back.

The two quickly entered the sewer well from the alley, and ran towards the international control area.

Chapter 1638 Outcast's Discovery

Nearly a decade of peaceful life has already wiped out McMartin's vigilance. If it weren't for the sudden appearance of bagpipes, he thought he would spend most of his life as a chef at a French fry shop and choose Retirement.

He also married a wife and gave birth to several children during this period of lurking, which did make him more inconspicuous and easier to lurk, but it also eliminated the idea of ​​​​training when he was alone.

The muscles of the past have become the fat of the present. With several swimming rings on his stomach, how can he still have the strength of the past? Not everyone can be a flexible fat man.

Don't try to avoid Lilica's sniping if the cook is alone, but there is another person in front of him.

Feeling something was wrong, the bagpipe directly pulled out his saber, and slashed into the air before the others could react.

Such a hasty response could not completely cut off the crossbow in the air, but it also deflected the trajectory of the crossbow, causing the crossbow that would have hit McMartin to hit his chest.

Although the injury is still serious, it is undoubtedly much better than dying directly.

He asked others to call an ambulance, and Bagpipe stood by the side of the lamplighter who was murdered just after restarting, to avoid someone making up the knife.

The lamplighter must have been exposed, but Bagpipe must at least save his life.

Bagpipe's mind was still in a mess as to who would assassinate such an intelligence officer. She only hoped that her captain's horn could find out everything.

How much impact does it have when a person is sniped in a building off the street?

Anyway, in the Rhode Island office just a few blocks away, you can feel the difference in the atmosphere. The sound of the ambulance roaring and the civilians fleeing from even the area would have made Oliver nervous yesterday, but now they are on the contrary. I have the courage to propose to see it.

The arrival of the two elite operators really gave the operators of Rhodes Island a lot of confidence, but this does not mean that the office will return to its previous appearance.

"Your coping method is correct, that is, have you thought about how to escape from here?"

Huang was full of praise for the fortified office, so he raised a small question, and immediately started to solve it.

Standing still is basically waiting for death. Before, the operators of Rhodes Island thought they would have a chance to escape through the main entrance, but if they were surrounded by enemies, they would not give you such a chance.

Pulling out his weapon, Huang directly inserted the chainsaw in his hand towards the ground after looking at the structural diagram of the entire building, and a small door for one person appeared, leading directly to an idle house on the lower floor .

Huang also suggested that since the place is idle, it is better to spend some money to rent it, so that there will be more "depth" in the future, which is convenient for people to escape.

Here Huang is working until the Rhodes Island operatives in the Xiaoqiu County office are renovating their fortresses, and the civilian staff Outcast over there is checking the files of the office to learn more about what happened recently that made the situation in Xiaoqiu County take a turn for the worse. .

Rhodes Island's records are not detailed. After all, this is not within the scope of Rhodes Island's work. Even with the help of a caring person like Shredder, the records can only be described roughly.

Outcast was sitting in the seat that originally belonged to Oliver. This mature lady raised her legs carelessly, and slowly flipped through the file in her hand. The record was rough enough, and she didn't want to miss any details.

"Shredder operator, can you come with me for a while, I need to check with you for some things."

"Okay ma'am, I'll be right over."

The words were so normal that the other Rhode Island operators in the office didn't think there was any problem, and they didn't even check to see when the two left the hall and went to the reference room.

Only Huang paid attention to the situation of Outcast, she knew that she would never do anything superfluous, which can be called lazy.

But in other words, it is necessary to make her do things on purpose. Could it be that there is something wrong with the paper shredder?

If this is the case, my best cooperation is to involve other operators. No one wants to doubt their companions, but if the companions really have problems and don't deal with them, the damage will be immeasurable.

"Okay, after the escape window is made, we need to make some firepower points. It seems safe for you to lock yourself in this iron turtle now. What if the enemy sets fire? You must leave room for counterattack..."

There is only so much she can do, and the rest is left to Outcast. She is much more experienced than Bihuang herself, and she is incomparable in terms of human hearts.

"Shredder operator, do you know why we are here?"

The unfamiliarity in the words may make the person in front of him vigilant, but it can also make him understand his attitude.

Without turning his back on him, Outcast has seen countless times when he capsized due to carelessness, and he must pay enough attention to even the weakest opponent.

With the right hand on the waist, most people would only think that this posture is elegant and handsome, but this is the posture that can draw out the weapon the fastest, and if there is any situation, it can immediately counterattack.

"In order to take away important information, ensure our safety, investigate the truth of the matter, and maintain Rhodes Island until the end."

"That's right, so which of these four points do you think is the most important?"

Regarding this question, Shredder is a little uncertain. Of course, the information is important. It is the crystallization of the office for many years here. If it cannot be sent to the ship, it means that several years of time have been wasted.

But others also...

"Okay, let's change the question, which point do you think is the least important?"

"the truth..."

"You are very smart. In this land, the truth is often the most useless thing. Even if you know it, it can't change anything."

Outcast nodded as if in admiration.

"According to the style of our little leader, your safety is her most important thing. This does not mean that other things are not important, but you understand that people are the first."

Shredder nodded, he likes the style of Rhodes Island very much, but the "people" that Rhodes Island can take care of is only a very small part.

Two elite operators are enough to safely escort the people in the office out of Xiaoqiu County, but what about the others?What can two elite operators do?

"So tell me, are you working with that side?"

The sudden jump in the topic made Shredder stunned for a moment, and almost blurted out the answer. He managed to maintain his usual appearance, and when he raised his head, he saw a black gun barrel.

Chapter 1639 Expose

"Ma'am, what do you mean?"

Shredder raised his hands to indicate that he would not make any irrational moves. He was sure that if he made any moves, the bullets in the gun would shoot through his head without hesitation, let alone resist. I don't think I will be an opponent of an elite operator.

Outcast's eyes told Shredder everything, she wasn't probing or making some bad jokes, she was serious and had good evidence.

Shredder doesn't know why she is so sure that he has cooperation with other organizations, but he still wants to struggle, he doesn't want to betray the international cooperation with him.

So far, the international has not done anything to him, and helped him save Jane. He can't avenge his kindness.

"I swear, I have never done anything harmful to Rhodes Island."

The paper shredder played a bit of word games here, but the facts are true. In his opinion, the cooperation with the International will not only not endanger Rhode Island, but will become the safety guarantee of Rhode Island's office in Hill County. Rhodes Island's power is too weak here.

"Don't try to hide it, your excuse doesn't make any sense, a lot of things have already been told to me."

Outcast tapped his temple with the index finger of his other hand.

"That's what you told me yourself, my brain is not that stupid yet."

Shredder still wants to try to say something, and at this point silence is almost equivalent to acquiescence.

"Ma'am, I don't remember what I said, something that would be misleading."

"Do you still remember the dossier you recorded yourself? Why did you participate in every incident recorded here? Is your work worse or your news is better?"
