The two of them came out of the cubicle and helped Victor to some extent.
After they prepared breakfast, Stuart, Oscar, Connie, Vladislav, and Arseny also woke up.
"Quentin, are you back?"
"You didn't drink too much, did you?"
"When did you come back?"
Several people expressed concern.
"Yes." Quentin diverted the attention of several people, "Please sit down and eat."
"Comrade Verak, we plan to set off after dinner to investigate the relatives and friends of the scavenger members." Stuart sat down and picked up the tableware and said.
"...Hmm." Verak's eating movements stopped for a moment.
Since Cozmo has rebelled, their plan yesterday must have been known to the scavengers. Now Stuart and the others are going to investigate, but it is actually in vain.
But in order to stabilize Cozmo and other people who were not yet sure whether they had rebelled, Verak could only continue to agree to the actions of Stuart and others.
Anyway, if the battle in Signe Velenhai is not over for a day, their shaky security can still be maintained.
Quentin and Verak looked at each other and said nothing.
"Quentin, are you going?" Connie asked Quentin.
"It's not convenient for me." Quentin shook his head, lowered his head and played with the food without looking directly at Connie. "The patrol team still needs me to deal with it. If I'm not in the tavern, I might be in trouble."
"It's best for him to stay here," Verak supported.
"Then the three of us will take action." Oscar looked at Stuart and Connie on the left and right, slightly nervous.
The previous independent operation was limited to Peace Street, and any situation that occurred was more or less controllable. Now they have to operate throughout Winterfort to collect information about scavenger members, and the risk has doubled.
Verak nodded and put down the tableware: "This is very dangerous. Once exposed, the sub-station currently has no ability to organize a rescue..."
Connie said without fear: "Don't worry, we will do our best to ensure our own safety. If there is a moment of exposure, there is no need to find ways to rescue us, and we will not leak any sub-station information."
"Yes, I am definitely not able to withstand any severe torture, so at that moment, I will choose to kill myself first." Stuart's tone was also very decisive.
"...Me too." After Oscar took a few deep breaths, he left with the same attitude as everyone else.
"This is a great choice." Verak was very moved, but he took this opportunity to secretly observe Vladislav, Arseny, and Victor who were sitting next to him eating, wanting to see them.
What was your reaction after hearing the desperate speeches of several people?
Vladislav was a little uninterested in eating, chewing food slowly while listening. After Oscar finished his last speech, he finally couldn't help it, frowned and said: "I also want to do something to help. I know what I am doing now
Identity is very sensitive, but you can’t just do nothing because of it.”
Arseny didn't even take a bite of his food. He sat there with his arms folded across his chest and said nothing.
Victor was not affected too much. He had his own job and was not as suffering as Vladislav and Arseny.
"We can't gain something and do meaningful things every day." Verak failed to detect any clues from the performance of several people, so he had to respond to Vladislav's words, "More time in life is spent
I'm waiting, waiting for opportunities. Aren't I unable to do anything? But I won't be impetuous because of this, because I know very well that there will always be a time when I should do something. I will burst out all my energy at that moment.
Strength to complete my mission."
"You make sense... It's just that Arseny and I have been hiding in Tibet for the past few months and have not made any contribution to the revolution... This feeling is very uncomfortable..." Vladislav had already sat down
He couldn't hold it any longer. Seeing these young people who had just arrived today trying to rush ahead of him, he couldn't hold back the thought of doing something.
Looking at Vladislav's performance, Verak's suspicion of him weakened.
He dare not say that he knows countless people and can penetrate anyone's mind, but his observation skills are not bad, so not everyone can get through him.
Vladislav and Arseny have always looked very sincere, and there is really no trace of betrayal of the revolution. If Cosmo was not like this, Verak would not have raised any suspicion even if he was killed.
.
Yesterday, without any basis, he interrupted his thoughts in order not to expand his suspicions and plant another hidden mine in the already difficult sub-station.
It's a pity that this thunder has now taken root, in the deepest part of the sub-station.
When it explodes, perhaps the substation will fall apart and the Bash Revolution will fail.
Verak was a little anxious, and he secretly made up his mind to find out the truth as soon as possible and bring out the traitors so that his comrades would be innocent.
Just when he was thinking about Cozmo, a figure appeared in front of the tavern door, and that person was Cozmo.
"Comrade Cosmo!"
"Webmaster."
"Webmaster."
Cosmo walked into it and nodded: "Is everything okay?"
"Well, Stuart and the others plan to set off after dinner to investigate the scavengers." Verak said without changing his expression, "Have you finished everything over there?"
"Well." Cozmo found an empty seat and sat down. "I contacted several comrades. They were originally going to prepare to evacuate, but now they are all arranged by me to investigate the scavengers."
"Then it shouldn't take long for this matter to come to an end. I hope the outcome will be beneficial to us, otherwise we will really have no choice but to leave Winterfort and develop elsewhere." Verak didn't see it at all when talking to Cosmo.
He already knows everything.
Quentin studied silently.
"I think it's better not to be so optimistic. The scavengers are more cautious than the others, better at hiding and better at investigating than we are, and they even give me the feeling that they are revolutionaries. We have to do a good job if any comrades are exposed during the investigation.
As long as someone is exposed, they will be more vigilant in this matter and will never expose the opportunity again. Even if there is a chance, it will most likely become a trap deliberately arranged by the other party." Cosmo still acted like one.
Analyze the situation with the overall situation in mind.
"Yeah." Verak looked at Cosmo and couldn't help but admire the other's acting skills.
People who do things that could cost them their lives at any time seem to be very skilled at this.
"Have you eaten? If not, I will prepare some for you." Victor asked Cosmo.
Cozmo waved his hand: "No, I'm not very hungry."
"Eat something, don't bother. I made a lot of breakfast today, so I won't miss your portion." Verak personally brought the tableware and food to Cozmo.
"No, no, I'll do it." Cozmo took the plate and finally started eating breakfast with everyone.
"Hurry up, let's go back to the cubicle after dinner, and don't be seen by the drinkers who come to drink." Verak glanced at the time on his watch and urged.
The slowest eaters sped up.
Concern about drinkers is only one of the reasons. What Verak is really worried about is that the captain of the patrol team suddenly comes over to have a drink like yesterday, and many things will be difficult to deal with by then.
Although it was quite casual for him to give Quentin a reason to go out yesterday, he also thought that most people here could not deal with the captain of the patrol team.
Whether Quentin had a drink with the patrol team leader last night, some people will never know the truth in their lives.
"Comrade Verak, let's go then." After dinner, Stuart said.
Verak looked at him, then at Oscar and Connie who stood up immediately: "Pay attention to safety, safety is the most important thing. Don't always think about completing the task, but also realize that if you expose the task, you will also be followed.
The result is a failure. So, even if it’s for us, you have to protect yourself.”
"clear."
"clear."
"clear."
"Go." Verak raised his chin and watched the three of them walk out of the tavern.
"I always feel that this is not a good decision." Cosmo said, standing next to Verak.
Verak's eyes still stayed on the door of the tavern: "Good or bad is not decided by feeling."
Cozmo didn't delve into the matter and walked towards the cubicle: "Let's go."
"Quentin, you stay here. If the captain of the patrol team and Clark come over again, you have to deal with this." Verak was worried that Quentin would make an omission while sitting with them, and he was also worried that if the captain of the patrol team came over, there would be nothing in the background.
The unclear Victor got involved, so he deliberately left Quentin behind and stayed alone in the cubicle with Cozmo, Vladislav and Arseny.
"Yeah." Quentin felt much calmer when he saw that Verak was always calm and at ease.
Everyone is acting now. Their advantage is that they know Cozmo's disguise, but their disadvantage is that they don't know the identities of the others. Overall, the two sides are on an equal footing. As long as no fatal mistakes are made, it is not difficult to maintain the status quo.
"The Sword Comes"
In the cubicle, Verak handed the three people a cigarette one by one, and then he frowned and puffed away: "If the verification methods between the scavenger members are found out, we have the conditions to impersonate. Do you think we
How should we take advantage of this?”
"Kill Maxim and bring out the undercover list." Vladislav said immediately.
"Even if someone can pretend to be a scavenger, it won't be easy to get close to Maxim and steal the list, right?" Arseny didn't think they could disguise themselves to that extent.
"But Comrade Vladislav is right. These two things are what we need to do most urgently. Only by getting the undercover list can we eliminate the cancer and safely integrate the strength of the sub-station. Only by killing Maxim can we deal serious damage.
Scavenger, relieve the pressure." Verak did not see anything wrong with this question and answer, "This is very difficult, but if we can really do it, it will be worth it no matter how high the price is."
Vladislav said: "If possible, I will pretend to be a scavenger and be responsible for killing Maxim and getting the undercover list."
This is a very bloody statement.
Because killing Maxim is bound to be dangerous, no matter whether he succeeds or not, it will be difficult for him to escape.
But putting it here with Verak only made Vladislav's suspicions rise a little more.
Verak really couldn't confirm whether it was for the sub-station that Vladislav was so eager to carry out the mission, or because he wanted to protect Maxim.
"I can do it too." Arseny felt that this was what Verak said during the meal, an opportunity that belonged to them.
"What do you think?" Verak asked the question to Cosmo.
Cozmo held a cigarette in his mouth: "It's meaningless to talk about this now. What I mean is to wait until the results come out."
The attitudes of Kozmo, Vladislav, and Arseni are completely different. If they were both from the government, this should not be the case.
Verak's trust in Vladislav and Arseni increased a little in his heart: "Yes, the main thing is that we stay here with nothing to do. I think it is better to talk about the follow-up plan, so that when the time comes we won't
Very busy."
"Dongdongdong."
The bartender Victor opened the door and whispered: "The patrol team leader is here with Comrade Clark, and Comrade Quentin has taken them to another cubicle to sit down."
"This man really got a taste of the sweetness. He comes here every day to drink." Arseni was disgusted with the patrol team who used their power to take advantage of the civilians.
"Perhaps Comrade Clark deliberately instigated him to come, so that Comrade Clark can meet us and exchange information legitimately?" Vladislav's judgment was not so arbitrary.
"That's right." Verak agreed, "Victor, keep an eye on that point and ask Clark to come over at any time."
"Understood." Victor closed the door.
Not long after, the knock on the door rang again, and this time it was Clark who came in.
"Comrade Verak." Clark greeted a few people in a low voice and sat next to Verak.
"How's it going? Is there any new information?" Verak asked.
"No." Clark shook his head in shame, "But I took the initiative to call the captain here today to see if there is any progress on your side."
Verak understood the true meaning of Clark's words. Clark was concerned about whether Verak had found out about Cozmo. Considering that Clark's acting skills were far inferior to Quentin's, now he secretly told him that the result was likely to be exposed.
Verak chose to pretend to be crazy: "Stuart and the others have already gone to investigate the scavengers, and we are sitting here with nothing to do."
"Is that so..." Seeing that Verak didn't understand, Clark tried again, "Isn't there any other progress?"
"No, now we can only wait for the result. If it succeeds, we will stay in Winterfort. If it fails, we will seize the time to evacuate." Verak replied incorrectly.
Clark knew that Verak was thoughtful, and he should have understood what he meant by asking twice in a row, but there was no response, so he probably hadn't investigated yet: "Okay, is there anything else I need to do?"
Verak said: "Just stay in the patrol team with peace of mind and collect as much information as possible."
"Okay." Clark agreed.
"You guys talk first, I'm going to use the toilet." Verak got up and walked outside.
Clark, who originally just gave way, felt Verak pat him quietly, and then said, "I'll go too."
