Chapter 195: Go to the military warehouse to relax
At 10:30, Verak and his party arrived near the government building in a truck. Just like going to the Observation Museum, they stayed in the "safety zone" to avoid being interrogated by the patrol team mixed with members of the security department.
"We're here." Diaz parked the car on the side of the road and looked ahead through the car window.
Of course, Verak knew that they had arrived. He was not familiar with this place, but the time when he was arrested was so impressive that when he saw the building complex, he couldn't help but recall his past experience: "...
…Um."
Nord and Murphy, who were staying in the carriage, rushed from the Edsa Hotel to Mona Hall, and then from Mona Hall to the Government Building. They stayed in the dark and bumpy carriage for almost two days.
For half an hour, I am now feeling depressed.
After the car finally stopped, Nord remembered Verak's instructions and did not communicate loudly through the car, but tapped his knuckles to signal them to come up with it.
"Let's go down and take a look." Verak, who heard the noise, was silent for a while, opened the door and got out of the car.
Diaz was worried about the danger of Verak appearing on the street, but Verak gave him no chance to dissuade him, so he could only get out of the car and call Nord and Murphy out of the car.
"It suffocates me to death..." Nord jumped out of the car and took a big breath of air.
"We..." Diaz looked around cautiously and asked Verac in a low voice.
Verak saw that Diaz looked a little unnatural, and patted him on the shoulder: "Have you forgotten what I just told you? Don't be so nervous. You are all strangers, what are you afraid of?"
"I'm afraid of you..."
"It's not close to the government building. I'm just strolling outside. It's nothing to do." Verak clasped his hands behind his back and said calmly, "Like me, or like a passerby, don't glance around randomly, don't be so tense, and relax.
easy."
Diaz listened to Verac's words and adjusted his body shape and expression.
"Well, that's it." After Diaz's performance was generally acceptable, Verak glanced at Nord and Murphy again. Nord was naturally natural, while Murphy was taciturn and could not be considered nervous, "Okay, let's go.
.”
"Where to go?" Nord followed Verak's footsteps.
Not far in front of them, there was the security department of the government building where Verak had been imprisoned, and now Boyin, Daniel, and Ross were imprisoned. Verak narrowed his eyes and glanced at them, his determination to rescue them was extremely firm, and then
Just blend in with the crowd and walk in the opposite direction: "If you have no direction, just wander around."
"Anyway, after seeing it too much, I feel that Lezein is actually nothing special." Nord started chatting.
"Really? This is one of the best metropolises." Verak glanced at Diaz and the Murphy brothers who were following behind him, planning to let them practice their abilities in this area after they return, "In addition to
Lezein, have you seen anyone else?"
"We passed by Dunman when we went to Mongolia. Unfortunately, there was still a war there at that time and it was very chaotic. We didn't stop much and passed through as quickly as possible." Nord said, "Anyway, we passed by along the way.
I visited a lot of places and it was an eye-opener.”
His friend who only knew how to live in the slums in the past also ran out to experience it, and Verak was quite emotional. He chuckled, passed a woman walking slowly, and continued to wander on the street: "Not bad, I
I haven’t been to places like Dunman and Monlego yet.”
"I'll take you there later." Nord patted his chest.
"No need. After I finish my work for a while, I will go to Dunman and Pruman to have a good experience." Verak shook his head slightly. He didn't need Nord to lead the way, and he was very interested in what he would do after he finished attacking the government building.
Things have already been planned.
"Then I'll go with you then."
Verak did not answer directly and asked about other things: "Do you think it's good here?"
Lezeine is the center of the Republic of Bressey, and the government building is the center of Lezeine, so it is extremely prosperous, surrounded by high-rise buildings, the density of cars exceeds that of horse-drawn carriages, and the shops are all bustling with pedestrians.
.
If everything right now was this country, the truest microcosm of this world, Verak and the others wouldn't have to risk their lives to fight for their rights.
Nord's nose was red from the cold, he put his hands in his pockets and shrank his neck: "Of course it's good - it's a pity that these good things are all accumulated by countless civilians working day and night, overdrawing their lives and giving up their own beauty.
of."
Hearing this, Verak stopped and looked at Nord up and down in surprise: "Is this what you said?"
In Nord's eyes, Verak is still the calm and reserved photographer in the slums, and in Verak's eyes, Nord is not that immature child who only knows how to talk to the nobles who eat in their restaurants.
They are all changing.
"What? Looking down on people? I have studied the theory of equality and stayed in the Equality Society for so long-"
"Yes, yes..." Nord finally reacted and scratched him awkwardly.
Verak breathed out the cold air and observed everyone and everything in sight as he walked.
Lezein is an international metropolis. In terms of prosperity, few cities in the world can compare with it, let alone its central location. Most of the people who come here to shop or work either live here or
Living a good life, it can be said that 67 out of 10 people who appear here are from the camp of vested interests.
When he passed the shop and saw the customers inside, passed by the cars, and passed by the luxuriously dressed people, Verak felt a strange feeling in his heart. What he wanted to do was to take away a part of these people.
Give it back to those who were exploited.
As Nord said just now, most of the people here are stepping on civilians.
He wants to pull these people down and lift up those below.
There are many people standing on top, and even more people are being stepped on below. They have to pull and support, and they have a long way to go.
"By the way, can you find a way to wander around aimlessly like this?" Nord was silent for a while, and then kept asking in Verak's ear.
Nord and Colin are quite similar in this regard.
Verak did not have the slightest thought of impatience, and replied calmly: "I came out today to find a solution, not to find a solution."
"How to say?"
"We've all been held back for too long. You keep learning, and I keep solving various problems that come one after another. I need to give my brain a vacation." Verak shuddered. Today's weather is worse than he expected.
His estimate was even colder, "When I clear my mind and lighten my load, I think there will always be some new ideas on this matter."
"It makes sense. You are so powerful now, but it's a pity that Temple - the weather is so cold..." When Nord was sighing from the bottom of his heart, he accidentally revealed the taboo in Verak's heart, but this time he himself was in time.
Realizing this, he quickly changed the topic mid-sentence.
"It's indeed quite cold." Verak pretended not to hear the name 'Demps', wrapped his clothes tightly, and called Diaz behind him, while Murphy caught up with him, "Let's go shopping a little longer.
Let's go, we should still be in time for lunch."
Diaz had no objection: "Okay."
"What's the plan for the afternoon?" Nord asked.
"Afternoon..." Verak slowed down, "If you still feel that there are a lot of things in your mind, we will continue shopping."
——
After having a brief understanding of the vicinity of the Mona Pavilion and the Government Building, the two places that Equality will focus on next, Verak and his party returned to the Essa Hotel in a hurry for lunch, and then entered the basement of the casino next door through the tunnel.
, had lunch with Morais and others in the cafeteria.
"Hey, I almost didn't recognize you in this outfit! How's it going? What did you gain after running outside for a long time?" Morais, Keating, Piaf, and several other cadres were eating together when they saw the disgraced Verak.
After I came back, I finally let go of my worries.
"I didn't gain much. I just went to relax in the morning." Verak never thought that he could find a solution to the problem in half a day. "I went near the Mona Pavilion and the government building."
Keating looked worried: "These places should be well guarded. It's best not to go out if you can."
"It's okay, teacher, I'm sensible about this matter. I'm just relaxing nearby to understand the situation, and I won't risk going deeper." Verak did not tell anyone about the interrogation he encountered, so as not to make everyone more worried and even refuse him to go out again.
"Be careful and be careful," Keating could only say.
There is a trait in Verak that is like a double-edged sword, that is, he is stubborn. He will not waver in what he believes in no matter what others say, and he must insist on completing it.
Keating devoted himself to cultivating Verak, hoping that this man with potential would burst out a hundred times a thousand times more power to influence and then change the world. But he had a problem with Verak's stubbornness, and it was difficult for him to explain Verak's stubbornness.
Should we continue or change.
If it were anyone else, he would rely on his rich experience and knowledge to express his opinions without any pressure. But only Verak, he is extremely cautious and even dare not.
He firmly believes that Verak will be a person who changes the world.
So if he changes Verak now and controls his traits that are not obviously good or bad, what changes will happen to this person's life and the difficulty of welcoming the new world?
After briefly explaining what happened in the morning, Verak began to concentrate on eating. He was completely unaware that Keating was so entangled and hesitant at this time.
"Teacher, what do you want to do this afternoon?" Verak, who quickly finished half of his meal, drank a glass of water and asked Keating about his afternoon arrangements.
"I will revise the training plan with Piaf this afternoon. Now the number of students in each session is increasing. Our training must make appropriate adjustments according to the changes in the number of people, so as to ensure its efficiency and quality.
." Keating replied.
Morais interjected: "I have given you a day or two to rest, and you are now intensively preparing for the follow-up work."
"Let's rest after the whole plan is successfully completed." Keating looked at Verak and joked, "Now only Verak can relax and hang out."
"I was thinking that if you were fine, we could go out for a walk together in the afternoon." Verak said with a smile.
"I'm getting older and I'm not as brave as you." Keating shook his head and ate his meal slowly.
Verak stopped talking. After finishing the remaining half of the meal, he said goodbye to everyone present. Then he left the cadres' compartment and found Nord, Diaz, and Murphy: "Have you all eaten?"
"It's done." Diaz said.
"Let's go then." Verak led the three of them towards the passage.
Nord wiped his mouth and followed Verak: "You just finished eating and you want to go out again?"
"What's the matter? You've been wandering around for a long time and you're no longer interested in the outside world? Then go back to your room and study hard. I'll come back in the evening to check your study results." Verak said without looking back.
"I didn't say not to go, I just wanted to ask why we were in such a hurry when we were just relaxing." Nord said.
"You really think you're just relaxing." Verak couldn't laugh or cry.
"Isn't it? You said so."
Verak thought for a while: "Absolutely. The main reason is that I hope that if we all think about problems with this mentality, we will not be so easy to get into trouble, and we will be more confident in noticing things that others have not noticed."
"Facts have proven that the more urgent we are, the less likely we will have a clue." Diaz explained to Nord what Verac meant. "Verac hopes to solve the problem through relaxation, rather than simply relaxing."
"It's too complicated. You should think about it. I will be responsible for the contribution." Nord couldn't figure out the difference, so he simply waved his hand and stopped thinking, "By the way, I'll drive the car this afternoon. I'll be rocking in the car."
It almost made me vomit."
Nord's performance in the morning was very good. If he encountered a patrol soldier again in the afternoon, he would be more reliable than Diaz and Murphy. Verak agreed to his request: "Well, you can do it."
...Huh? When will you be able to drive?"
"After we returned to Lezein, we were responsible for the personnel and cargo transportation of the Equality Association, so we learned by the way." Nord said.
“Keep this multi-learned attitude.”
"rest assured."
"Diaz, Murphy, I will have a talk with you about your shortcomings in getting along with people when you come back in the evening." Verak originally planned to talk to them when he came back at noon, but now that he saw it, he could only put it aside
It's night, "If you don't solve this problem, you will have big problems in the future."
In fact, Verak said it quite implicitly. Idiaz and Murphy have learned fighting skills since childhood and are not good at communicating with others. If they don't make some changes, it will be difficult for them to be in the Equality Association or any other organization in the future.
Where there are greater achievements.
"Okay." Diaz still just said one word.
With that said, the four of them returned to the hotel, exited from the front of the hotel and got into the car.
"Is that possible?" Verak watched as Nord started the car in a hurry.
"It's definitely possible. I just haven't touched any craftsmen in more than half a month." As he said that, Nord suddenly started the car and the car moved forward. Diaz and Murphy who were sitting in the car were almost shaken.
fall.
"Slow down!" shouted Verak.
"Where to go?!" Nord didn't have any panic on his face. He concentrated on controlling the steering wheel and steered the truck to set off.
Verak held the roof of the car with one hand to steady himself: "Do you know where the military warehouse is? Let's go there to relax."
