In the early morning, when the sun shines on the earth again, an extraordinary day begins.
Still dressed in the same lazy manner as yesterday, Xu Zhe took the lead and walked down the stairs. Haozi and Tiechui, who were supposed to be left behind, followed behind him.
Tiechui was yawning loudly, but he hadn't woken up yet. However, when Xu Zhe patted him awake and told him to "take action", he jumped up immediately.
I don’t know who taught Xu Zhexue to share, Tiechui only cares about the exciting things that are about to begin.
When I went down to the dining hall, I was surprised to find that my mother-in-law was already sitting there. On the table in front of her was a traditional Chinese breakfast, and she was eating a bowl of ramen naturally.
"After going out to fool around so early in the morning, eat something to fill your empty stomach and head!" Mother-in-law's words were an invitation, although her face was still as cold.
Tiechui was the first to sit on it. He picked up a fried cake and took a bite. Then he looked at the old woman next to him as if he was stimulated.
"What's wrong with you? Did you see a ghost?" Haozi sat aside with a smile and patted the dazed Tiechui's shoulder.
"I didn't expect this old witch's cooking skills were so good. I haven't eaten anything as good as this in Country Z..." Before he could even say the word "eat", a chopstick flew past Tiechui's scalp and got firmly nailed to the wooden pillar behind him. What flowed down his head was not blood but cold sweat...
"Eat if you want to. If you keep talking nonsense, I will make sure you can never eat again." The mother-in-law calmly took out another chopstick from the chopstick bucket and replaced it. She used the simplest way to make Tiechui shut up.
"You should be thankful that she is not cooking..." Xu Zhe sighed and sat down.
The sumptuous breakfast was carried out in silence, but it was indeed a pleasant experience. Haozi even had the urge to hire his mother-in-law as a cook at home, of course, only after she changed her habit of throwing away everything...
"I'm so full!" As he stroked his slightly bulging belly, Tiechui almost forgot what to do next.
"Take it, it may help you." Putting down the dishes and chopsticks, the mother-in-law took out a list from her sleeve and pushed it in front of Haozi.
"What is this, a bill?" Mouse joked, picked it up and looked at it, then his smiling face calmed down, "It's a really nice 'gift'."
"If you want to 'do' something, you must have 'tools'. Look at you, you dare to go to another country to cause trouble without any preparation. If it were forty years ago, you wouldn't even know how you died." Picking up a cup of hot tea, the scolding senior sipped it leisurely, "Here are the addresses for purchasing various equipment, as well as different underground codes. Don't make any mistakes, otherwise the other party will kill you without hesitation. But if the price they offer is higher than the quotation I wrote, as long as you know me, no one will 'blackmail' you."
"But what if you remembered the code wrong?" Tiechui asked fearlessly.
"You will still be hunted down by others." The mother-in-law answered without hesitation.
"Why are you helping us so much? Actually, I've always wanted to ask, what you have done is already more than the intelligence agent's code of conduct. Besides, we don't have any specific orders from above, so I can understand even if you kill us." Xu Zhe asked a confusing question.
The environment seemed eerily quiet because of Xu Zhe's problem...
"Because you smell like that old guy... Ceshi, your Spiritual Adjustment Department's former top investigator. Forty years ago, when I was still working at the Security Bureau, he was the only one who could rival me. You should be his apprentice, right? Only he could teach a mentally defective guy like you to come out." Recalling the past, Xu Zhe noticed the fleeting smile and sadness on his mother-in-law's lips. "Go away now. I'll make an exception for you today. You're allowed to come back after 12 p.m."
After walking out of the simple "Xianqing Food City", Xu Zhe looked back silently, as a silent thank you.
According to the information provided by the mother-in-law, the three of them were busy shuttling back and forth in this strange city.
I went to a big hotel, visited the vegetable market, ran to the garbage station, and climbed over a high wall...
I have seen waiters, vegetable vendors, beggars collecting junk, and the owner of a gay bar...
There were all kinds of people, some were warm and welcoming, some had hot tempers, and some were so charming that they made people sick. No matter what, they were impeccably consistent with the identities they were hiding. If it weren't for the information provided by my mother-in-law, I probably wouldn't be able to find these "talents" even if I turned the whole of Japan upside down. They were all intelligence personnel from various countries, and some were veterans who had lived in this foreign land since they were children and had long been integrated into society. If the Oscars were expanded to include the intelligence field, each of these people would win the Best Actor and Best Actress awards.
Because their life is acting, and the consequence of failing in acting is death...
Not only that, but what's even more amazing is that, from armored vehicles to eavesdropping devices, except for the atomic bomb, which is banned from sale, everything else can be obtained as long as the name is mentioned.
Xu Zhe even had some doubts. If another war broke out, perhaps before the enemy's warships arrived, the core of the invader's own country would have been completely destroyed...
The modern battlefield has become more terrifying with the development of technology and people...
But what Mouse is afraid of is not these, but the credit card that keeps being swiped. He wonders if his father will go crazy when he sees the price on the bill.
After all, these are "glasses" (multi-functional tactical night vision goggles) that cost 400,000 yuan a pair...
A pair of "socks" (the latest version of the US Special Forces combat uniform) for $300,000...
A "refrigerated truck" (an information processing command vehicle equipped with a high-end spy radar and armor comparable to that of an M1 main battle tank) costs 15 million...
Two million for a piece of "fresh squid" (Geen portable rotary machine gun, with some free ammunition)...
… …
It was already late in the evening, and in front of a warehouse by the sea was parked the legendary "refrigerated truck".
"Don't worry, Japanese money is worthless. Ordinary people have to bring bags of banknotes even for morning tea." Patting Haozi's shoulder, Tiechui's words were not sure whether they could be regarded as comfort or sarcasm
"Damn it, if I had known I should have asked the boss to airlift him here for us. He would be either dead or crippled if he returns home." Haozi turned off the phone in frustration. He just didn't want to hear his father's roar like a landmine.
"We can go now." After loading the last box of "goods" into the car, Xu Zhe "summoned" his companions, "But there is a problem. Who will drive?"
Wu Qian was no longer around, otherwise such questions would be unnecessary. Every time, she would naturally sit in the cockpit first.
"Don't look at me, I have a lot of work to do!" Haozi crawled into the sealed cargo compartment.
"If you don't mind I can drive it. This car is very sturdy anyway." Xu Zhe looked indifferent, leaving Tiechui speechless.
So the huge Hammer squeezed into the cockpit...
Fortunately, the design is quite spacious, making people feel like they are locked in a cage rather than stuffed into a can.
The truck with a "frozen dumplings" pattern on its side drove onto the road, heading towards its almost unrecognizable target.
But the cargo compartment at the back of the car was a different world. Various unknown instruments from both sides were working, and there were four chairs in total, but only two people were sitting in them.
Using the spy computer in the car, Haozi was able to find out more information than he had yesterday. But the more he looked, the more uneasy he felt.
"Xu Zhe, can the operation be temporarily canceled?" After stopping the search, Haozi looked at the people around him very seriously.
"What's wrong?" Xu Zhe understood that Haozi must have discovered something.
"It's too easy... It's too easy to find their lair. Ever since I found them in just over an hour yesterday, the word 'trap' has been turning over in my mind. A few years ago, I dealt with the protection program of the Founding Group. Their system was so perfect that I wanted to go and learn from them. But this time, I just felt like I was 'invited' in. Not to mention a master like me, it would not be difficult for a hacker with average skills to find these data." Haozi just thought that others were already prepared to "welcome" his arrival.
"These are not the only weird things, there are too many weird things here." The blonde girl appeared in Xu Zhe's mind, "But we don't have too much energy to worry about it. Wu Qian is in their hands... The time of rescue determines her chance of survival." At this point, the calm face became unusually tense again.
"Okay..." With a deep sigh of helplessness, Haozi returned to his work. "Only I can plan the operation more carefully. Even if it's a 'tiger' waiting for us, I will knock off two of its teeth as souvenirs."
"Hello, we've arrived at the final stop. Do you want to get off?" Tiechui's reminder came from the intercom in the cargo compartment.
"Stop here for a while, it's not time to work yet..." Xu Zhe said softly, leaning back in a comfortable chair and starting to wait.
The so-called founding Tokyo branch is actually a 70-story building in the city center.
The company was disguised as a company that imports and exports rubber products. It did not evade any taxes, and its annual profits were growing steadily.
Internally, it is just the creation of another subsidiary company...
The refrigerated truck slowly drove into an empty alley beside the building, indistinguishable from all the parked vehicles.
After turning off the engine and returning to the cargo compartment, Tiechui ended his painful driving experience. He did not make any noise as usual and remained unusually quiet before taking action.
Night falls quietly without anyone noticing, the earth is once again shrouded in darkness, and people's decadent nightlife begins from then on.
At 8:30, just like the end of the school day, office workers who had been busy all day welcomed the end of get off work, and people left the building one after another.
The mouse who had been monitoring all the time turned on the thermal imaging scanner and carried out a three-dimensional scan of the entire building, calculating the remaining number of people and the specific coordinates and movement patterns of the security personnel.
Otherwise, Japanese men have short lives. It was past 11 at night and there were still hundreds of people working overtime in the building.
Fortunately, these poor guys were "released" when they reached the age of 12 and left the building that was about to become a battlefield.
"Xu Zhe, it's time to start." When Haozi saw the last bastard who worked overtime rolling out of the building, he immediately notified him. But he still couldn't compare to Xu Zhe's actions...
He was already standing aside, wearing a dark special forces combat uniform, ready to go.
"Been waiting for a long time..." He tightened his anti-slip gloves. It was rare to see Xu Zhe so impatient. Usually, he would be a tough guy.
But the hammer is not quiet either...
"Are you kidding me? You won't let me go?!" Looking at the mouse hanging the electronic equipment for Xu Zhe, Tiechui was unwilling to go. "In terms of combat capability, am I worse than Xu Zhe?"
"Please, we are not here to fight. Espionage means collecting intelligence. Have you ever seen a spy using a machine gun to get intelligence?" Haozi put a clever camera and communicator on Xu Zhe's ear.
"Don't you see it now?" Tiechui watched Xu Zhe carrying his "Condemnation" and Gatling gun on his back, his saliva almost coming out.
"This is just in case. We don't really need it." Haozi was too lazy to explain to the big guy.
"Okay, I'll take you there." Xu Zhe unexpectedly agreed, and his calm face was not a joke.
"YES!" Tiechui clenched his fists excitedly, but Haozi looked at Xu Zhe blankly. Because he should know better than himself that Tiechui is not suitable for this kind of spy work.
“But this time we have to go in through the ventilation duct, climb all the way to the 70th floor, and sneak into the office where the founding group actually works. The narrowest part of the ventilation duct is only 50 centimeters, which is about the width of my shoulders.” Xu Zhe shrugged helplessly.
“… … ” Tiechui couldn’t make any more trouble. Given his size, maybe he could get through by chopping off his two hands. Otherwise, he would be stuck inside and turned into a can.
At exactly 15:34 in the morning, the cargo door of the dumpling refrigerated truck was opened from the inside.
But the one who came down was not "Jiaozi", but Xu Zhe who was armed to the teeth...
