Spy Family

Lu Linbei did not climb to the ground, so he found a deserted place on the street and contacted Lu Yezhou directly.

"Hey, Lao Bei, it's almost three o'clock. Why...contact me now? Is there something urgent?"

"You asked Zhu Canchen to send a message to me?"

"Yes, I think it is more risky for us to contact each other. Lao Zhu seems to be unnoticed and can be a middleman. Don't mind. I know how much you trust Lao Zhu, so I didn't tell you in advance."

"I don't mind, I just want to confirm the authenticity of the information."

"How did Lao Zhu tell you?"

"How did you tell Lao Zhu?"

"Haha, you are still so cautious. I entrust Lao Zhu to tell you that you can trust Tang Baoxin."

"Well, that's what Lao Zhu said. Tang Baoxin has also contacted me."

"Contact him in the future. We don't need to contact him anymore. This is an order from above. Goodbye."

"Wait a minute, you want to tell me a little more information. Has Tang Baoxin been an intelligence agent of the Military Intelligence Department all along?"

"Old Bei, don't make things difficult for me. You know the rules. There are some things I can't reveal to the public, and you don't want me to make mistakes, right? I beg you, Old Bei, act according to the agreed plan and come back here quickly. Come on. My real sister is going to Starfleet, and you’re not here, so I feel like something’s wrong every day.”

"Because no one is looking after you?"

"Haha, you're right, someone must take care of me, and it must be one of the con man, the real sister, and you. If others can't, I'm not convinced. In short, come back here, the Military Intelligence Agency needs people. , if you have made great achievements, you will definitely be forgiven and promoted."

"I just want to keep my family safe and let my daughter grow up healthily."

"Then you have to come back. I heard that the residents of Yuandian City all live underground and never see the light of day. It's okay for adults, but it is definitely not good for the growth of children."

"Well, I will go see Tang Baoxin again. We don't need to contact you anymore from now on."

"Let's talk after we meet. Bring Sister Manman and Xiaoxing with you. I will prepare better gifts and stop talking nonsense. I will definitely satisfy Sister Manman."

"Goodbye." Lu Linbei returned to the office. Xiaoxing had woken up and was playing with the horse. When he saw his father coming in, he immediately stretched out his hand and shouted.

Ma Zhangyuan had proven himself to be an excellent mentor and was willing to accept the responsibility of taking care of Xiaoxing. Lu Linbei finally decided to leave his daughter alone with him, "I will be back in less than an hour."

"Just use this time to train Xiaoxing." Ma Zhangxuan was very happy to have such an opportunity.

Lu Linbei went next door to find Professor Qiao first.

The Board of Directors launched another attack. Professor Qiao asked several assistants to leave work early. He was also packing his things when he noticed someone coming in. He glanced at them, said nothing, and continued busy.

"I'm going to see General Tang right away," Lu Linbei said.

"Well." Professor Qiao seemed to not want to meddle anymore, but he couldn't hold it back and put down the things in his hands. "I will go with you to clarify the matter and make it clear. Since it is all for the sake of the Universal Suffrage Association, , why can’t we join forces? What’s the point of having internal conflicts in vain?”

"Even if there is only one in 10,000 chance that General Tang is a real spy, we are taking huge risks if we go to find out now."

"But the remaining 9,999 out of 10,000 chances are that you will be taken as a real spy."

"Rather than taking risks with Origin City, it's better to take risks with myself, and Professor Qiao, you can testify for me."

"Don't think of me as too important. I have already said that I am an idler. Lao Gao and General Tang are only superficially polite to me. At the critical moment, my words will not have much weight."

"As long as someone listens."

When he arrived at the staff headquarters, Lu Linbei waited for a while before seeing Tang Baoxin.

"The council's attacks have become normal, two to five times a day. Their tactics are very clear, which is to consume the drones of the Universal Suffrage Council and wait for the opportunity to completely destroy the entire city. Major Lu knows how many missiles Yuandian City can withstand at the same time. Earth-penetrating missile?”

Lu Linbei shook his head, "I don't know."

"Thirty missiles at most. An experienced commander will make these missiles penetrate into the ground one after another and explode. The shocks caused will become stronger and stronger until they exceed the bearing capacity of most buildings, leading to a major collapse, and all residents will be affected. Buried alive.”

"This is exactly the outcome we are trying to avoid."

"Yes, if I just sacrifice my own life, I am willing, but I can't sacrifice the lives of a large number of innocent civilians. The history of Origin City is coming to an end. Facts have proved that New Origin cannot be built here. What we can do is not to Let it be a tragedy.”

Tang Baoxin was in a particularly low mood. He had to remain calm in front of his colleagues. Only when facing a common "betrayer" could he say a few words from his heart, and then asked: "Do you know how many people Zhai Wangxing has been injured in the past two years? "

Lu Linbei still shook his head.

"No one knows that too many casualties have never been counted. In the Universal Suffrage Association alone, the recorded death toll reaches nearly one million, and this will only be a very small part. In this era, human life is not even as good as an ordinary piece of The batteries are valuable.”

"Sad numbers."

"At that meeting, Professor Qiao asked me why other cities refused to go to war. The most important reason I couldn't say in public was that the war weariness caused by fear had spread to the entire Ecumenical Society, from Yuandian City to the most remote small towns. , no one wants to fight, but no one wants to say it, everyone is waiting for Yuandian City, no matter whether Yuandian City is destroyed or surrenders, the fighting will be ended in other places."

"Total surrender?"

"Well, sometimes surrender is harder than fighting. It requires one person to take the lead, and this person is destined to be the target of public criticism, even if he represents everyone's wishes."

"It takes courage."

"It requires great courage and self-sacrifice." Tang Baoxin took a deep breath, as if he never wanted to exhale, "Tell me about your plan."

"First step, I need General Tang to transfer me out of Yuandian City..."

Tang Baoxin smiled, "Everyone wants to leave this capital of the Universal Power Association, just like they wanted to squeeze in."

Lu Linbei ignored the other party's sarcasm and continued: "Including my family, one of my subordinates Zhu Canchen, Professor Qiao and Li Fenghui..."

Tang Bao ”

"The president's reputation is higher." Lu Linbei said.

Tang Bao There may be hope for the city. This is his wish. I don’t think he can raise enough troops, and I don’t think there is hope for the city of Origin.”

"The President does not have the 'courage' to be the first to surrender."

Tang Baoxin smiled and nodded, "He is the president after all, and calling in the army is another eloquent reason. Professor Qiao and Li Feng cannot return, especially Li Feng. Cyber ​​warfare is the only area where Yuandian City has a slight advantage. The Universal Rights Council cannot do without the Internet Department, and the Internet Department cannot do without Li Fenghui."

"Okay, let our family and Zhu Canchen leave for a city farther away."

"This is simple. Your departure will not attract too much attention. It can be arranged tonight. Now let's talk about your second step."

"The city I go to has to have a stable network to the council and for me personally stability is very important."

"No one wants to be separated physically and mentally, I understand."

"Then please prepare the council to set up an equally stable ultra-long-distance network so that I can connect to the spacecraft's server. I will set a fixed route for the spacecraft and let it fly to a space station designated by the council. The speed will not be It is extremely fast. It will arrive at its destination in ten days. During this process, it will still take all means to protect itself. When the ten days are up, it will automatically turn off the laser device, delete my virtual data, and restore itself to an ordinary ship. The board of directors can keep or destroy the spaceship they own."

"You only need one connection?"

"Yes, just once, no more than three minutes, to set up all the future processes."

"It sounds very reasonable. The council should accept it. Go home and prepare to leave. Don't reveal the information to anyone except your family and your subordinate."

"Okay, I'll keep it a secret."

Tang Baoxin stretched out his hand, "Handing over the spaceship will leave a good impression on the council and make subsequent matters smoother and easier."

Lu Linbei held the extended hand, "The most difficult step still requires General Tang to take it."

"Alas, this is probably the last step in my life. No matter what the outcome is, I will lose everything, but that's not important. As long as I don't sacrifice my life anymore, if possible, I want to bring back all the young soldiers on the front line now. "

Lu Linbei said goodbye and left, returned to the Strategy Department, and pulled Zhu Canchen out of the sea of ​​information. "Go home and tidy up. Come to my house for dinner tonight."

"Ah? Okay, wait until I finish..."

"There will be plenty of time in the future."

Zhu Canchen rubbed his eyes, stood up and said, "Goodbye, what time is the dinner at Major Lu's house?"

"Around seven o'clock."

"OK."

After Zhu Canchen left, Lu Linbei took the baby basket from Ma Ranyang, "Do you have a way for us to maintain a stable and confidential relationship?"

"How far away?"

"Probably thousands of kilometers."

"That must rely on a stable network."

"Let's assume there is a stable network."

Ma Youxuan thought for a while, turned around, and quickly turned back with a red gem in his hand, "This is one of my chips. Xiaoxing can usually do some training in it, and so can Major Lu." Using a digital brain to connect with me through it, not necessarily stable, but certainly confidential.”

"I'll contact you shortly."

Ma Xianyou nodded and didn't ask a single word.

Lu Linbei took his daughter home. Next he had to convince his wife and then wait for Tang Baoxin's "arrangement".
