Chapter 120: traitor

Views:

As more guards and robotic police intervened, the rebel violence in Area A7 subsided.

Some civilians can already be seen wandering around on the streets. There are still some civilian corpses on the streets that have not been dealt with in time. Most of these dead people were accidentally injured by stray bullets or explosions.

There were still some flames burning in some dilapidated buildings that had not yet been extinguished. Some people threw themselves down next to the bodies of their relatives and cried loudly. There were children looking around in confusion with tearstains on their faces.

Most of the unclaimed corpses will have their belongings taken away by others, and they will be stripped clean regardless of whether they are valuable or not.

Police officers from the police station will not come over to dispose of these corpses until they get to work tomorrow. Human corpses are not disposed of by cremation on the Tiangong, but will be decomposed into organic matter for medical raw materials.

These medical raw materials are often used in medical beds, such as bone remodeling or organ restoration, which require bioregenerative organic matter with the same material composition to provide raw materials.

Damaged houses will also be repaired or repurposed for other purposes based on actual conditions. In the past three hundred years, the district administration offices under the rule of the Skull and Bones Society have stopped maintaining and repairing buildings in civilian areas.

The saved material resources created Eden Park for senior citizens to live and live, so there are two completely different styles of the prosperous Eden Park and the backwardness of the civilian areas.

Alice was walking slowly on the street in her cloak. She looked around at the surrounding scene. Compared with the Garden of Eden, this place was like an eighteenth level of hell. In order to survive, people here could plunder dead bodies and be indifferent. Treat those in need.

On the other hand, the so-called high-class citizens I saw in the Garden of Eden received generous contribution points, enjoyed aristocratic treatment, and could eat fresh fruits and delicious dishes.

Alice deeply understands that the world cannot be changed by just two heroes, but that it requires all the people at the bottom to unite and fight together.

She still couldn't worry about Bill and Nick. Since the shootout, everyone had lost contact. Now she could only look for some clues with a lucky mentality.

First of all, she must always pay attention to whether there are some unique marks left on the street. These marks represent very different meanings and symbolize different identities.

For example, the apartment dormitory where Hongchen Zhanji and the others are staying now has three horizontal lines drawn on the lower left side of the door of the apartment. Such marks may only be known by Hongchen Zhanji Benji and Sauron. This is a safe house.

As the Red Dust Warrior, there are multiple safe houses available in Area A7. The places where these safe houses are located will have similar marks. Alice's marks are different from others, but they are rarely used in Area A7.

Among the entire Revolutionary Army, only Bill and Nick knew the symbols of her mark, and she also knew the marks of Bill and Nick.

When Alice saw a strange symbol at the door of a restaurant, her heart suddenly lifted. She did not impulsively walk into the restaurant, but walked through the restaurant calmly.

She circled around the buildings, and when she found no other entrances or exits, she came to the restaurant again. The restaurant served Western food and was well decorated. Through the doors and windows, she could see that there was no one inside.

Alice stood behind a pillar diagonally opposite the door of the Western restaurant and observed the Western restaurant carefully. It wasn't until a strong man walked in carrying a pile of ingredients that she let down her guard.

After she entered the restaurant, she looked around

When I looked at the restaurant, the burly man just now was gone.

"Ma'am, I'm sorry, we're closed today," a waiter stepped forward to stop Alice and said.

"But I just saw a man walking in with a bunch of ingredients." Alice asked in pretense of surprise, obviously not wanting to let it go.

"Maybe it's a food delivery service to prepare tomorrow's meals," the waiter replied with a smile.

"Can I visit your kitchen?" Alice saw a back kitchen door inside.

"Ma'am, our chef refuses to visit." The waiter's tone was a bit unkind.

"What if I have to visit?" Alice looked at the waiter in front of her jokingly, and then walked forward.

Just as Alice stepped forward, the waiter in front immediately took a step back, took out a pistol from his arms and pointed it at Alice.

Before the waiter could pull the trigger, Alice struck with both hands and snatched the pistol from the waiter's hand in an instant, then pointed the gun at the waiter and said, "Why don't you old ghosts come out?"

"Alice!" Nick walked out from behind the kitchen door first, followed by Bill and the others.

"It's so good to meet you" Bill said excitedly.

"I'm relieved you're all right," Alice said after returning the pistol to the embarrassed waiter.

Alice looked at everyone present one by one. Everyone's faces were more or less tired and sad. It was obvious that everyone had suffered heavy casualties.

"Are you the only ones left?" Alice saw that there were only five brothers around Bill and Nick, and she knew that most of the others had died.

"There were 36 people when we set off from the headquarters, 12 of us were lost in the secret passage, and now there are only 7 of us left," Bill said sadly.

"Why were 12 people killed in the secret passage?" Alice was a little strange, and suddenly she seemed to think of something. "Can you contact the headquarters?"

"..." Nick and Bill were both silent.

"Did something happen to the headquarters?" Alice looked at the two of them anxiously and asked.

"We couldn't contact the headquarters. As soon as we entered the secret passage, it was blown up. After losing 12 brothers, we had no choice but to move on. I suspect that the headquarters may be in danger," Nick explained.

"You are saying that you deliberately blew up the entrance to the secret passage, which means you are not allowed to go back," Alice frowned.

"That should be it" Nick nodded.

"Nick suspected that a traitor had leaked the secret. After we entered the secret passage, he sealed the entrance to the secret passage and took the opportunity to attack the headquarters." Bill said in a deep voice, "Alice, are you okay here?"

"We are all injured. Fang Weiss's injury is more serious and he still needs to rest." Alice paused and then said, "If it is confirmed that there is a traitor, then it will not be surprising that the administrative department knows where you are staying here." .

"How can you with only 24 people resist so many guards and mechanical policemen in the Administrative Department?" Alice looked at Nick with some confusion.

"I was surprised at first, but then I found out that we weren't fighting those guards or Sean's people." Nick shrugged.

"Is Sean involved?" Alice was even more confused. According to the previous plan, their operation was a secret operation, and the local revolutionary army in Area A7 should not be aware of it.

"Actually, it's Sean's side.

We engaged the enemy first, and we were dragged in." Bill curled his lips helplessly, "At that time, all signals to everyone were cut off, and our arrangement in pieces directly led to a chaotic battle situation."

"Where are Sean and the others?" Alice asked.

"I don't know. It was too chaotic at the time. There were enemies and our own people everywhere." Nick shook his head helplessly.

"Where's Lucas?" A glimmer of light flashed in Alice's eyes.

"Lucas was supposed to enter the secret passage with us, but he said that Sauron still had something to tell him, so he let us go into the secret passage first, and he would follow later," Bill said truthfully.

"Are you suspicious of Lucas?" Nick instantly understood Alice's guess. Lucas was a middle-level cadre of the Revolutionary Army like them. He knew about this secret operation. If Lucas was really a traitor, Then they will face a huge crisis.

"Although there is no direct evidence, you must be on guard against others," Alice said solemnly.

"By the way, can we still complete the mission that Lord Zhan Ji mentioned?" Bill asked.

"The mission here has been completed, and we have to leave here next," Alice said. "I still need to ask Your Excellency Zhan Ji whether you should participate in the next action."

As she said that, Alice smiled, "You can't imagine how important the mission mentioned by Lord Zhan Ji is to the revolutionary army."

"You are trying to whet our appetites," Bill said with a naive smile.

"If Your Excellency Zhan Ji needs it, we people will definitely cooperate fully," Nick said firmly. "If the headquarters falls, only Your Excellency Zhan Ji can lead us in the revolutionary army."

"..." Alice couldn't help but think of the time when she was chatting with Hongchen Zhanji. Zhanji only listened to her master's instructions and had a protective attitude. Was she really willing to lead the revolutionary army

"What's wrong?" Seeing Alice lost in thought, Nick couldn't help but ask, "What should we do next?"

Now that the mission in Area A7 has been completed by Zhan Ji and others, what should I and others do next? There should be no way back to the headquarters.

"Let's repair it here first. I'll ask Mr. Zhan Ji for the specific arrangements." Alice thought. Without the leadership of the headquarters, these young middle-level cadres really seemed to have lost their backbone.

"Let's eat something first." The waiter brought out some food from the kitchen one after another, including synthetic bread, canned fruits, and some steak trimmings. "I can only take out the steak trimmings for everyone to eat. The boss will do it every time. Check out the inventory list.

The waiter looked at everyone apologetically and said, "The food in civilian areas is just like this, don't dislike it."

"It's already very good. It's not easy for our compatriots in the civilian area," Alice said with a smile. Of course she knew what the food standard here was like after staying in the civilian area for the past few days, so naturally she wouldn't mind.

"It's good that we have some meat to eat. We've been hungry all day. Everything we eat is delicious, and it tastes pretty good," Bill said, chewing a piece of steak.

"As long as you are satisfied." Seeing that everyone was satisfied with their food, the waiter felt relieved.

Just as everyone was sitting around enjoying their meal, the door of the western restaurant opened quietly, and a figure walked in slowly.

Alice and others looked at the door alertly, only to see the person wearing a windbreaker. When Alice saw the other person's face, her pupils couldn't help but shrink.

"Lucas!"
