Enforcer's Handbook
Chapter 326 The wolf is coming
After staying in the Fourth Neutral Country for so many days, Song Lan fully realized one truth - the power of hornworms has its limits.
With the power of a hornworm, it is obviously unrealistic to rob the execution ground in front of two resistance leaders with a bounty of over 100 million.
What makes the situation even more difficult is that Lu Xiang doesn’t have much such experience.
However, the intelligence department did not plan to leave them time to plan. While Song Lan and Lu Xiang were talking, they took the prisoner who was blindfolded, handcuffed and shackled out of the prison, and passed by in full view of everyone. The busiest street in the capital, all the way to the square.
During Verdor's tenure, the square was originally used as a place for speeches to the city's residents, but after Artyom's improvements, it was turned into an execution platform.
Artyom and his men did not like to make speeches, they were action men.
For example, take the culprits who endanger the underground shelter to the execution stand and hang them in front of all the citizens.
Not everyone has the opportunity to be sent to the execution stand. Only important figures who are familiar to people can receive this "honor". As for ordinary citizens who are not important, they are usually secretly killed and then disappeared forever. population.
In the past ten years, Verdo's followers have been sent to the execution stand one by one for different crimes.
However, the citizens who were forcibly summoned here today obviously have no interest in this "celebration" that the intelligence agency considers. Most of them are planning to leave this place of right and wrong, or hope to hear some explanations from the intelligence agency. , such as why ghosts who have been confirmed dead crawl out of their graves.
But the intelligence department is still the same intelligence department.
Even in such a turbulent situation, the best solution they could think of was still to execute someone suspected of being a spy.
Song Lan was among the crowd of onlookers. In this crowded square, no one would pay attention to the movements of a hornworm.
The good news is that neither Artyom nor Eschenweg himself was present. The person responsible for supervising the execution was a cadre in Artyom's army and the head of the entire intelligence department.
He was still wearing the uniform of a pre-war ranger, facing the upcoming trial with a solemn face. It seemed that for him, this was not just the execution of a certain prisoner, but more like some kind of solemn and sacred ceremony.
Song Lan assessed the distance between himself and the execution platform. With the overload system activated, it was not difficult to cut the noose to prevent the execution. The difficulty was how to take Lu Xiang's teacher away from this place of right and wrong in full view of the public.
All exits in the entire city are under martial law, and it is difficult to get out of the city under the noses of the intelligence agencies.
There is less than a quarter of an hour left before the official execution.
There was dead silence in the crowd, and time passed by minute by second, until suddenly there was a commotion in the front row. A man suddenly stepped onto the execution platform, making everyone's eyes widen in surprise, even the person responsible for supervising the execution. The heads of intelligence services are no exception.
Wildo.
The former leader, who had been missing for more than a decade, climbed onto the execution platform tremblingly.
It seemed that due to being imprisoned for too long, Verdo's walking posture seemed extremely uncoordinated. He squinted, and the light outside the prison brought a huge load to him.
"Who, who released him?"
The head of the intelligence department was shocked and angry. He looked around, but no one could answer his questions.
"That's it for now. Killing her won't solve any problems."
Verdo looked severely at the head of the intelligence department. He was very disappointed with the latter's actions. Over the past ten years, Artyom finally lost his true heart.
It is their common mission to protect the "sun" and the legacy of the underground shelter. However, in the process, Artyom has gradually forgotten the original intention of protecting this secret, and even pushed himself against the people.
Everything that happened now was related to the future of this country, and he knew that he could no longer stay in the cell.
But accept the invitation of the coalition government and hand the "sun" into their hands?
Doing so will undoubtedly make him a criminal in the fourth neutral country.
Just when Verdo was in a dilemma, things took a turn for the better.
A senior general from the Eschenweg Army, who called himself "Rat", brought him some intelligence from the ground through the jailer.
The coalition government and the Neutral Nations Covenant are not their only options. Not long ago, the Twelfth Country, which was the center of neutral trade, got rid of the control of the coalition government, and they are actively looking for allies.
Both sides are in similar situations, and both are in the stage of regrouping.
Not only that, after losing Dr. Bai Zhu, the Sixth Nation also had the idea of withdrawing from the alliance. The situation on the ground was far from as bad as they imagined.
Once the three neutral countries form an alliance with each other, if the coalition government wants to start a war again, it will have to consider many aspects.
Verdor realized that for the Fourth Neutral Country, this was both a crisis and an opportunity to return to life on earth, and the real purpose of the Eschenweg Army's trip was not to help Artyom consolidate regime.
What they resist is all unreasonable rule.
This includes not only the puppet rule imposed by the coalition government on neutral countries, but also countries such as the Fourth Neutrals that have deviated from the trajectory.
History has proven countless times that no matter how strong the wall is, there will always be a day when it is broken. If you cannot keep up with the trend of the times, then when the coalition government or other forces really come here, what will be left for them will be What remains is exploitation and misery.
Verdo didn't know who the "rat" was, and he guessed that the other party was most likely a diplomat in the Eschenweg army.
The jailer just handed him a document, but this seemingly inconspicuous document made his blood boil for the first time in a long time.
If possible, he really wished he could sit down with the "mouse" and have a long talk.
Unfortunately, to achieve the picture painted by Mr. Rat, they must climb an insurmountable wall.
"Shut up, traitor!"
The head of the intelligence department scolded, and at his signal, a row of guns pointed straight at Verdo.
He was extremely anxious.
Because Verdo's situation was so special, Artyom gave a clear order to keep this man alive. Even if this man was the culprit who originally advocated living on the ground, they could not do anything to Verdo in front of the citizens. Punished with capital punishment.
As the founder and head of the intelligence agency, he was both confused and dissatisfied with Artem's orders.
But now, it seems that there is an opportunity in front of him.
If Verdo becomes a prison escapee and even intends to prevent the execution in public, then they have enough reason to kill the criminal in public, otherwise they will lose face in front of the people.
Thinking of this, the head of the intelligence department gave an order, "He is a prison escapee, kill him!"
However, what responded to him was not the sound of gunshots, but the howls of wolves one after another, and the panicked screams of the people outside.
A giant shadow jumped high from the crowd and rushed straight onto the execution platform.
This scene made the person in charge a little stunned. His mind went blank for a few seconds before he confirmed the situation in front of him.
The wolf is coming.
To be more precise, the mutated creatures wandering outside the city attacked them at this juncture.
