Spy Family

Lu Linbei was not in a hurry, but others were a little anxious. Qiu Xinyang sent an email, hoping to meet again. The location was Fu Taiyi's uncle's house. He specifically emphasized that some things had to be said in person and there was no way to communicate through text.

Lu Linbei was also full of distrust towards the Independence Army. Mei Wang's intelligence would not be wrong. There was a traitor hidden among the Independence Army, maybe one or a few of them.

That night, Lu Linbei went as promised and rented a two-wheeled vehicle as a resident of Zhaowangxing.

Two-wheelers are more popular and practical than ever in Paradise City, saving increasingly precious electricity and making it easier to escape chaos on the streets.

There is no shortage of electricity in Zhaowangxing, and various Guangye farms are still operating automatically. The batteries produced are piled up in piles, but they cannot be shipped out. The residents in the city can only rely on the inventory to maintain basic living.

There was chaos halfway through Lulin North Road. Many residents clashed with the police who came to arrest people. The police claimed that these people were hiding independent elements. The residents shouted that the police had illegally entered the house, extorted and robbed people in the name of searching people. Reality.

The atmosphere in Paradise City has always been very tense. Although the new government has been established, it has not taken any measures to alleviate the shortage of supplies. There is indeed no way to solve it. The division of Zhao Wangxing is more serious than at any time in the past three hundred years, even though Even though they have joined the Peace Front in name only, they still have constant conflicts with each other. Traffic between towns is basically paralyzed. Only a few planes can still fly freely, and their service targets are less than one percent of the total population.

A large number of police officers came to support and confronted the residents head-on. This is a common scene in the city. Usually the residents retreat and gradually disperse. The police immediately withdraw, achieving a superficial victory, but they will not search again for a while.

This is a dangerous game, and no one knows when it will get out of hand.

Lu Linbei watched from a distance for a while, found a policeman approaching him, and rode away.

Lu Linbei came to the back door, honked twice, and the back door opened. He turned directly in and stopped the car.

Qiu Xinyang looked around the alley a few times, quickly closed the door, and said with a smile: "Major Lu is really punctual."

"Ten minutes late, something happened on the way."

"Residents and police?"

"right."

"One of the things I want to tell Major Lu is related to this."

"Huh?" Lu Linbei was a little surprised.

"We won't go into the house. Come sit here for a while. Lao Xie is waiting for us." Qiu Xinyang led the way and turned to a small pavilion in the corner of the front yard.

Xie Bojun and Dong Tianchai were sitting around the table. The weather was a bit cold and they were wearing more clothes. They were holding cups with hot tea in their hands, and a small electric stove was heating the teapot.

Dong Tianchai smiled and said nothing. Xie Bojun was more polite and stood up and said, "Sorry for our poor hospitality."

"It's more convenient to talk here." Lu Linbei replied.

Qiu Xinyang filled two cups of hot tea, one for Lu Linbei and one for himself. He glanced at Xie Bojun and said, "We have internal differences."

"Yeah." Lu Linbei still didn't understand why internal differences needed to be discussed with outsiders.

"Roughly speaking, there are two factions. One faction believes that Paradise City should be left as soon as possible and go to other places where the independence movement has developed better to re-establish the army. The other faction believes that Paradise City has not completely failed. What Major Lu just saw on the street The thing is one of the evidences.”

Lu Linbei also glanced at Xie Bojun, "Are you the evacuation group?"

Dong Tianchai said: "The two of them are evacuees, and I am a stay-at-home faction - can I say a few words first?"

Xie Bojun and Qiu Xinyang were both polite to the expert and nodded in agreement.

Dong Tianchai took a sip of hot tea, "The new government is not as good as the former Mayor Fu. It is incapable of solving any problems in Paradise City. Dawangxing and First Light Industry don't care about our affairs at all. They only have 'plunder' in their minds." Two words. Having said that, in comparison, your Zhai Wangxing is indeed not the worst. For us, this is an opportunity to use public resentment to help the independent army rise again."

Xie Bojun said: "Let me explain our point of view: the citizens of Paradise are filled with dissatisfaction. It is indeed possible to build an independent army, but what about after it is built? There are no supplies, no weapons, and most importantly, no trained soldiers. Those mercenaries have been It has proven to be unreliable, and Paradise City alone is still no match for the enemy.”

"We have weapons. If you give me some time and equipment, the epitaxial device can be mass-produced, enough to defeat the armored forces of Uranus." Dong Tianchai said, very confident.

Xie Bojun smiled bitterly, "Real battles are different from imagination. The human brain extension device is indeed easy to use, but it is just a kind of weapon. It has miraculous effects, but it cannot be effective everywhere. Only by establishing a regular army can it be used more perfectly. full effectiveness."

"There has never been a regular army on King Zhao, only untrustworthy mercenaries. They are the same wherever they go." Dong Tianchai was not convinced.

"Otherwise, many cities in the north have always been in a semi-independent state, refusing the intervention of external forces. They have real soldiers, who may not be too formal, but at least have undergone strict training."

Dong Tianchai smiled and shook his head, "The northern cities reject all forces and each other. They have been fighting endlessly for many years. Even Zhai Wangxing and Dawangxing couldn't stop them from fighting, let alone a group of us exiles. By?"

"It's difficult at the beginning, but after convincing them to unite, the road will become smoother. If you stay in Paradise City, it may be easy at the beginning, but even if you succeed, you won't be able to get out of the quagmire."

Dong Tianchai still shook his head, "There is at least a glimmer of hope left in Paradise City. If you flee to the north, there is no hope at all."

Although both of them were very polite, they each had their own opinions and no one was willing to compromise. Qiu Xinyang whispered: "What do you think, Major Lu?"

Lu Linbei understood the views of both groups, but his doubts were not reduced at all, "I am an outsider and am not qualified to judge your internal differences. Moreover, my understanding of Zhao Wangxing is less than one-tenth of yours, and I am not qualified to say Nonsense."

Dong Tianchai smiled and said: "We trust your intuition, especially me."

"My intuition tells me, don't pretend to understand."

Qiu Xinyang said: "Can you let Major Lu and me have a chat alone?"

"Okay." Xie Bojun stood up.

Dong Tianchai also stood up, but said: "Lu Linbei, you have heard both sides of the point. I believe you have your own judgment and will not be blinded by personal feelings."

Qiu Xinyang smiled bitterly and said, "Dr. Dong has known Major Lu for a longer time. When it comes to personal relationships, it is you who have the deeper relationship."

"You are so good at talking, I have to be careful." Dong Tianchai followed Xie Bojun back to the house.

Lu Linbei said: "I still don't understand, why are you looking for me?"

"Someone recommended Major Lu because he wanted to meet Major Lu."

Lu Linbei looked around and saw no one.

Qiu Xinyang took out a microcomputer from his pocket, placed it on the small stone table in the middle, turned on the holographic display, and faced Lu Linbei.

The monitor automatically resizes, and a person's avatar appears, lifelike, life-size, and lifelike.

Nong Xingwen smiled and said, "Hello, Major Lu, long time no see. I hope you still remember me."

Lu Linbei looked at Qiu Xinyang.

Qiu Xinyang shrugged slightly, "We will not reject any friends, especially old friends."

Qiu Xinyang had long admitted that independent elements like them had received "guidance" from Nong Xingwen.

Lu Linbei's eyes turned back to Nong Xingwen's virtual avatar, "With you here, I won't even express an opinion."

"Then let me tell you first." Nong Xingwen was originally able to keep his emotions in check, and after losing his body, he would not be affected by his emotions.

Lu Linbei didn't speak and listened silently.

"First of all, let's start with me: Why should I participate in the affairs of King Zhao? Because I am a rebel myself, so I sympathize with all resistance movements. The dreams that failed to be realized on King Zhai have at least blossomed here."

"In short, the more chaotic it is, the happier you will be." Lu Linbei concluded.

"Haha, you can say that. Chaos is also good for you. We are all the same people, excluded. Order is the order for those with vested interests, and chaos is the opportunity for people from outside to get in."

"Don't think of everyone the same as you, especially when you're no longer human."

"Well, I'm the only one who wants to see chaos and at least explain my purpose."

"very clear."

"So I didn't want to see the Independence Army fail and wanted to give them a little help, but unfortunately, the chaos destroyed the network and destroyed part of my influence."

"It's not regret, it's irony."

"It is indeed ironic. I am a fish, but I personally broke the fish tank in which I live. I can only huddle in a corner and tremble with the remaining water."

"Go to Dawang, they have the largest and most stable network, go to Mingwang, their network is second only to Dawang in reliability, or go to Jiazi, they still have a small system."

"The Jiazi people will delete me completely, the same goes for the Meinwang star, and the Great King star will betray me without hesitation. Rebels will not be welcomed by anyone with vested interests."

"I can't help you, and I don't want to help you." Lu Linbei said bluntly.

"It's not about helping me, but let's help the Independence Army together. Major Lu, to put it bluntly, although Guihai once made a prediction, you are not an important person now, and you are far from it. The reason why I am looking for you is not because of your great ability. , it’s not because you are more far-sighted than others, but because many things in the past have proved that you are brave, but know how to compromise and are worthy of trust. I will never cooperate with Guan Zhuqian again, and I must think twice before I act. You, I would like to offer to work together again. Again, this is not to help me, or even the independence forces, but to help a planet and its inhabitants that aspire to independent status."

Nong Xingwen was still as eloquent as before, always able to speak to the other party's heart. After a moment of pause, he continued: "It is in all the interests of you, King Zhai, to make King Zhai tired of dealing with it."

"Which faction do you support?" Lu Linbei asked.

"Tiantian City has no time to cultivate a real army. This is all my judgment. There are many warlords in the north, but there are some sympathizers of the independence movement among them, which are worth winning over. Major Lu doesn't have to worry that Zhao Wangxing will fall into my hands. I don't I will show up frequently and will not take the opportunity to gain fame, and people like Qiu Xinyang and Xie Bojun will not really promote me as a leader. They are a group of careerists with their own ideals."

"Hey." Qiu Xinyang, who was listening in, was a little dissatisfied.

"There are no outsiders and no records will be kept, so there is no need to deny it."

Qiu Xinyang was still dissatisfied, but did not refute.

"So you hope that I can persuade Dong Tianchai?" Lu Linbei already understood the intentions of these people.

"The first is to persuade Dong Tianchai, and the second is to sincerely provide help and send Qiu Xinyang and others outside the city." Nong Xingwen was obviously doubtful about Lu Linbei's previous promise.

Lu Linbei didn't explain. He thought for a while and said, "Do one thing for me first."

"Please say."

"The Ming King has a secret weapon hidden in the Zhao King. I want to know the details, especially the location of the weapon."

"What a coincidence, I happen to know about this." Nong Xingwen on the monitor showed a smile that was more contagious than the real person, "But I don't think you have the ability to stop them."
