Chapter 1638: Adaptation, News and Countermeasures (Part 2)
Without entering the city behind them, towards evening, the four of them followed the not-so-good road to the target town on the edge of the city. After jumping off the train, they kept walking. They wanted to take a car and see the old road. After the road fell into disrepair, they all tacitly gave up the idea.
The town is more like a relatively remote roadside stopping point. The station here is extremely simple - a rusty iron sign with the name of the station and an iron hood open in all directions, much like a place after the closure of a small factory. It felt like the factory buildings were used directly - or that the town was formerly a ruined industrial zone in the border area - and there were even fewer vehicles inside. When Cassia and the others arrived there, there was only one limo in the station. , a small long-distance vehicle that only carries a dozen people.
Surprisingly, there are many households in the town, and the number of buildings scattered around can reach about seven or eight hundred. The two main central streets are not lively either. It happened to be evening when Cassia and the others went to the town, and there were many people on the streets. The number of people passing by is definitely not that high.
After a brief observation outside, the four of them went straight to a restaurant, ordered a large amount of food, and began to fill their stomachs.
A few days ago, the map and mission instructions just brought them here, and there was no other information after that. Cassia and Owl had no idea what they needed to do now. They often perform such missions, and the four of them have no idea about this kind of mission. The situation was familiar and there was no discussion.
At the right time and place, the person who responds will naturally find you. This is a routine and a common thing.
At night, the four of them stayed in the only deserted hotel in the town. At 11 p.m., Cassia, who was lying in bed and meditating, "saw" a few people walking cautiously towards her and Isa's room, and then she exhaled. .
"We are too late, or you are too careful." Cassia was talking in his heart, but after leaving the belt mountain range, his identity returned to Soriatu. He should have the consciousness and pretense of belonging to Soriatu. Tsukuru was completely unaware until the door to the room was opened due to the secret code and code word, and he followed Isa, Cassia and three other new faces to the basement that he knew when he arrived.
It was a very old type of elevator that made creaking sounds throughout the ride. When the protective door opened, a tunnel with a miner's lamp appeared in front of us. The tunnel was very long, and the air was dull and hot. It looked like Not connected to a suitable advanced air purification system.
After walking along the tunnel for nearly ten minutes, Cassia's sense of direction and the number of footsteps told her that they had left the town and reached the suburbs on the edge. At the last moment, with the slight sound coming from the front, soon Finally, an open underground building complex finally appeared in front of Cassia and Isa. This is an important stronghold of the organization in the empire.
Although it is a complex of buildings, it is also an important stronghold, but the number of people who maintain and support their operation does not exceed 30. The main person in charge also introduced it later? It is more like a transfer station. Its main function is to accept people from small countries. Members of various organizations who come to help supply some necessities? At the same time, it also takes into account identity information, transportation, and necessary knowledge teaching and learning before entering the empire.
The organization seems to have said hello to this place, not just the person in charge? Everyone who comes into contact with Cassia and the others seems silent? They keep their mouths pursed? They can hardly speak. The process seems to be choreographed? From makeup to giving Time to read the basic information and precautions about the empire that have been prepared, and then go to some detailed comparisons and displays of differences with small countries? Work until three in the morning? Cassia and Isa both changed into the more common ones in the empire. After getting dressed up, the person in charge finally took them to a conference room alone.
"A few days ago, an organizational team of nearly fifty people left our place. They stayed here for more than half a month, just like graduating students, receiving all kinds of knowledge and training? So finally We have entered the empire." The person in charge was a middle-aged man who was in the late stage of the third stage of the operation. He said with a sense of melancholy, "It's just that many people leave from here, but very few can go back in the end. I hope I can still do it by then. See you all again."
After finishing speaking, the person in charge arranged four bank cards. While saying the corresponding information, he took out a communication machine from the counter and adjusted the composite frequency according to the information conveyed by the original organization: "Next is you. It's time, this is my last job. After the communication is completed, you can leave directly. You should see the exit passage, right? Follow it for a few kilometers and you will reach the ground, which is in the ruins of a factory. Vehicles are prepared there. As for the subsequent destination, itinerary, route, etc., these should all be included in your mission information."
It was nearly half a minute after the person in charge closed the door that the electronic noise in the microphone of the communication machine disappeared: "Soriato, are you still alive?" It was the voice of Tri Weikang, which was full of surprise, probably because of this, he himself later said Li Suman also had a reason to explain, but she also felt deeply helpless. This indicated that his task had not been completed yet, and there would be a lot of trouble for him in the future. The sentence was full of emotional contradictions.
An hour later, Cassia and Isa went to the ruins of the factory that the person in charge said was covered with wild vines. The so-called vehicles were similar to what they saw at the small town station. Small long-distance vehicles, regardless of their appearance, It's still very old inside.
Let the owl drive onto the road, and temporarily set the destination as another city. There are passenger trains there, and you can go to the traffic gathering place.
"Mr. Card, Mr. Soriato, next," Nighthawk asked after smoking a few cigarettes in silence. The atmosphere in the vehicle made the smoke lose its proper flavor, and it only felt choking.
Trevikan contacted and said a few things, but most of them were not good news. Whether it was his future itinerary or the current situation between him and Adolf, they all seemed to be stuck in a quagmire.
"Let's go to the nearest city first. I'm relatively familiar with the empire." Cassia didn't have much expression. The information he received took time to digest.
Trevikan and Adolf will not accompany them. The empire is no longer a small country, and the risk of their exposure is much higher than that of Cassia who joins the crowd. But this is good news for Cassia. What he said at that time made him mentally prepared for this.
However, the defense plan of the Twelve Knights of the Round Table station failed, and the news that Ye Jielin had fallen into the hands of the enemy brought a huge sense of heaviness to Cassia, making him feel breathless for a while. exist.
He needs to know what happened in Manoma two days ago, and this feeling is particularly urgent at this moment.

"Knight Commander Hessler, have you finished collecting the intelligence?" In the room, Delia looked very uncomfortable.
"Okay, we just need to wait for the group leader's contact." After finishing speaking, Hessler continued to drink. "It's very difficult to handle. I think he probably doesn't know how to deal with it now."
