Squinting at the iron door covered in paint graffiti, Xu Le raised his left hand and touched his ear, this small action did not have any symbolic meaning that psychology talked about, but it was a little itchy by the sound in his ear.
The noisy and noisy streets, the relatively quiet and deep auto repair shop, the ultra-thin piece of metal in the ear hole kept coming from Philip's calm narration, and the triplane was tens of thousands of kilometers away, but the voice was clear enough.
After obtaining the information from the database of the Imperial Intelligence Agency, Philip in the spaceship began to search for possible strongholds of the underground resistance, looking for the follow-up whereabouts of the people who kidnapped Aunt Susan from the surveillance video, but so far, no specific discoveries have been made.
Xu Le only came to the appointment, and Philip enabled another part of the computing core, and through the permissions he had just obtained, he directly remotely controlled several high-sensitivity military satellites outside the atmosphere of Tianjing Star and stared at this block.
After leaving the Federation, Xu Le took off the chip on the back of his neck and never planted it again, and the communication with Philip was changed to direct voice communication, although there was no accurate data grid in the pupil of his left eye, but he was used to this method and did not want to change.
Philip monitored that there were about thirty armed soldiers in the garage, and in addition to a large number of semi-automatic rifles, there should be several boxes of high-fire weapons hidden under the rain cloth on the roof terrace.
Xu Le slowly raised his head, squinting at the dilapidated eaves on the third floor, wondering what kind of way the other party would use to deal with him.
"Do you need to inform the Imperial Intelligence Agency of the information about this base?"
Philip asked, or rather gave his own advice, in his opinion, with his own data to back it up, the Imperial Intelligence Agency could easily destroy the garage.
Xu Le shook his head, before Philip found Aunt Susan, any action should be cautious, and based on some experiences and kindness back then, although he was angry at this time, it was difficult for him to make up his mind to directly help the imperial officials deal with those rebels.
The iron door, which had only opened a crack before, slowly opened, and a faint smell of engine oil appeared in front of Xu Le with a repairman covered in oil mud.
Today's Qi Dabing was wearing a gray auto mechanic's uniform, but he was still as indifferent and proud as he was in the imperial costume back then, looking down at him condescendingly, and said in a cold voice: "You finally appeared." ” Xu Le frowned slightly and looked back at him, this guy didn't have the consciousness to work underground at all, and his domineering appearance was purely looking for death, but he had to admit that this strong man who had fought with himself for life and death in the underground tunnels, and left a mecha for himself outside the Master Fan Mansion, would be more mature and stable after a few years, although his eyes were still sharp, but he had more or less the taste of a leader.
"Why" he didn't have any nonsense and asked directly.
"Don't use this way, will you show up It's been a week since you arrived at Tianjingxing, and you didn't even think about taking the initiative to contact us."
Qi Dabing's expression was cold, and he said with a hint of disdain to hide the mockery: "You are a coward, you always only know how to escape, where did your so-called brave justice go, do you remember a few years ago, in that auto repair shop, facing the old man in a wheelchair, what did you promise us and what you owed us?"
Xu Le silently remembered the leader of Voss who was in a wheelchair back then, remembered the rather pleasant conversation, and remembered the resistance fighters who died beside him when he fled from Tianjingxing, forcibly suppressed the depression in his heart, and asked in a low voice: "Say your request, how can you be willing to release people." ” Qi Dabing didn't answer this question, his eyes stared at his hands and wrists slightly, and he suddenly frowned and asked, "What about the watch?"
"Thrown."
Xu Le replied.
"Throw it away" Qi Dabing's brows slowly furrowed, and he asked with an oppressive aura: "That is the only memorial left to me by the teacher, and it was shamelessly snatched away by you, and you actually threw it away like this."
Xu Le stretched out an index finger, looked at him and replied, "You have to be clear, that's my watch, I can do what I want to do." ” Qi Dabing was silent for a moment, didn't say anything more, raised his right arm to invite him in, and said indifferently: "The question you want to ask, someone will explain it to you later." ” Xu Le saw the fierce killing intent in his eyes, he was naturally not afraid, but he was a little cold and the other party didn't hide it in the slightest, just like the previous contempt and ridicule.
"I thought you were already the leader of the organization, and it looks like you've not been doing well in the past few years."
Since the other party did not hide his hostility or even killing intent, Xu Le naturally didn't mind regaining the meanness of his youth, and used words to make the other party unhappy.
Walking into the building from the auto repair shop, Xu Le saw many young or old repair workers along the way, who did not know whether there was body armor under the oil-stained overalls, and they did not know whether to repair the car or pull the trigger to leave the calluses on their hands.
These resistance fighters still retained their former special colors, regardless of age, their physique looked extremely strong, their stiff faces and calm eyes showed different emotions, they watched Xu Le walk in front of them, some were wary, some spat disdain, and some smiled and even waved to him.
Although his heart was full of worry about Aunt Susan and a certain anger that was about to erupt from the crater, Xu Le's mood gradually calmed down when he looked at the resistance fighters who greeted him with a smile, and nodded his head to greet these old people who had fought side by side with him in the rain.
"You're welcome."
In the deepest room on the second floor, there were five people seated.
After Qi Dabing walked into the door with Xu Le, under the leadership of an old man, everyone stood up at the same time to welcome, and the old man's attitude seemed to be gentle and enthusiastic, he opened his arms, as if he wanted to have a comradely hug with Xu Le.
Xu Le stood in place and did not step forward to hug the old man, and after bowing his head slightly to show respect, he said directly: "I don't think this is a good way to welcome, and I can't believe that the resistance organization after the leader of Voss would be shameless enough to kidnap an innocent low-level woman." ” A trace of embarrassment flashed on the old man's wrinkled face, and he apologized in a very sincere tone: "Please allow me to apologize to you on behalf of the organization, in fact, this kind of behavior has not been approved by most of the members of the committee, but since it has become an established fact, we must bear the consequences of this immoral behavior together, in fact, we understand your current predicament very well, and think that it should be difficult for you to make up your mind to contact us, so we are forced to adopt this method, and I hope that you can understand after hearing the explanation." ” When Qi Dabing heard this, his eyebrows raised slightly, and he immediately returned to indifference and sat down under the old man.
Xu Le roughly confirmed something, and after thinking silently for a while, he sat down at the warm invitation of the old man, and instead of holding the cup of hot tea in front of him, his palm hung slightly beside him, maintaining a state of attacking at any time, and said, "When will you release people?"
"I'll put it right away."
The old man looked at him with a smile and said, "Please rest assured, that lady Susan is safe now, and her health is absolutely guaranteed." ” Xu Le raised his head, stared at the old man's eyes and said: "An ordinary woman who sells pirated players in the market, when she was sick, she was kidnapped by a powerful underground resistance organization, she doesn't know where she is, she doesn't know if she will die, she will be afraid and afraid, do you think this is the so-called safety or that there is a bowl of rice to eat, and not being tortured is health?"
Several people in the room had expressions of embarrassment, only Qi Dabing was still indifferent and calm, as if he didn't feel Xu Le's sharp gaze on his face like a nail.
"Before we talk, I would like to brief you on the current state of the organization, the death of the leader of Vos, the unprecedented blow to the resistance movement in various regions, and now the Council of Seven is temporarily in charge of the work of the entire organization."
With a look of pain, the old man said, "But as you can see, there are only six people in the room now, because Mu En defected three years ago. ” Xu Le frowned slightly, the top seven-member committee of the underground resistance organization said so, Qi Dabing really did not become the second Voss leader, but why did these big figures of the resistance organization gather together at great risk, and did not hesitate to use this way to force themselves to meet, and what was even more strange was why this old man had to inform him of the situation at the upper echelons of the resistance organization As he had done most of all these years, he had no time, no energy, and no interest in guessing what the other party was thinking, and asked directly: "Why do you want to see me, what do you want?"
"We want to continue the agreement we made with you."
The old man looked at him and said calmly.
Xu Le's thick eyebrows furrowed slightly, remembering the agreement reached with the leader of Voss in a wheelchair back then, and replied with a slight smile: "You should know very well that I am no longer a federal hero, let alone the successor of the military god Li Pifu, and I don't want to interfere in the cooperation between you and the Federation, and I can't interfere." ” "Of course we know this very well, and we even know that you are the only blood and blood of His Majesty the Emperor in this universe, but we still stick to the agreement reached back then."
The old man looked at him with complicated eyes, and after a long silence, he said, "We all trust the gaze of the leader of Vos, and he will not mistake you. ” "You are a kind person, you can easily become the king of the Zuotian Star Domain, but according to our intelligence, you have already rejected that His Majesty's proposal to invite you into the palace, confirming this fact with our somewhat whimsical ideas, we can only say that this is the arrangement of fate."
Xu Le has Feng Yu's incomparably admired ability to recognize people like a beast, and he has only walked through Pabur once in all these years, he squinted at the old man, and could see the sincerity and malice of the other party, but he still couldn't figure it out.
"What exactly do you want to say?"
"We would like to ask you to lead the entire underground resistance."
The old man looked at him with a solemn expression and said sincerely, "We want to ask you to be the emperor." ” To be continued:
