MTL - Twenty Seven Years-Chapter 514 face with peace of mind

  Chapter 514 Face it with a calm heart

   "Someone is watching us?" Veteran Spencer was the first to confirm, "Are you sure?"

   "I'm not sure, but I always feel that there are some strange people nearby. When I just came back, I was a little uncomfortable, as if I was stared from behind by several pairs of eyes..." Connie couldn't be sure.

Feeling panic rising rapidly in the room, the leader of the intelligence team, Shirley, said calmly: "The place we are staying in is relatively secret, and we haven't been out much during this period, the possibility of government forces tracking down here is very low, Comrade Connie Probably an illusion, let's send someone to verify it first."

  Villac has always been wary of this kind of thing: "According to the plan."

"clear."

"clear."

  Everyone present responded one after another.

  When they first arrived at the warehouse, they made emergency plans in advance to deal with various emergencies, just like when they lived in a hotel suite.

   Soon, Murphy sat down in front of the telegraph, ready to send an early warning to the main station and other sub-offices of the operation team.

  Cyril, Spencer, and Nizan of the combat team took out their guns and took positions in several places suitable for blocking, waiting for the government troops to invade.

   Shirley and Connie are responsible for organizing documents and materials and destroying them when necessary.

  Verak and Comrade Bella supported Capa to hide in a small hidden space transformed from the beam above the warehouse.

  In order to avoid being easily seen, the hiding place is very tricky, and the space is very small, only accommodating one or two people.

   After helping Capa in, Verak patted Comrade Bella, signaling her to hide in too.

   "Comrade Verak, you go in, and it's not sure that it was discovered by the government army?" Comrade Bella shied away.

"If the government army really found us, then they will rush in and find me. So if I hide in, it means that none of us can escape." Verak said with a smile, " Of course, they may not have discovered us, or it may have been a false alarm."

   "It's better for you and Comrade Bella to come in. My appearance is really a drag." Capa didn't want others to take the risk outside, but he, a big man, hid himself.

"Obey the order." Verak didn't say much to the two of them, and pushed Bella in, and then sealed the cover, went straight to the ward opened for Capa, and took away all the beds and medicines. Erase the traces of Capa recuperating here.

  Connie looked at this scene, feeling uneasy: "Comrade Veraker, I just have this feeling, and I'm not sure..."

   "It doesn't matter, as long as there is a possibility of danger, we must follow the plan, so as to ensure everyone's safety to the greatest extent." Verak reassured, and then checked the completion status of each group within a few minutes.

  Everyone stayed where they were needed in strict accordance with the plan.

   Now all that is left is to confirm whether there are really people from the government army targeting them.

   "Comrade Connie, you are in charge of preparing for the destruction of materials, and Comrade Shirley, come here." Verak called Shirley to his side, stood on both sides of the window, sideways and cautiously looked outside.

   It doesn't look dangerous outside.

   No one loitered near the warehouse, and no one passed by.

   And this just made Verac and Shirley's expressions solemn.

  Usually, the streets near the warehouse are not lively, but there are not even people there. Today, it was surprisingly deserted, which is indeed abnormal.

   "What should I do?" Shirley asked Verak in a low voice.

   "It's still not completely sure that the government forces are eyeing this place." The bad premonition in Verak's heart became stronger and stronger, "But there should be big trouble."

   "How did the government army find this place? Could it be something happened to Duke Hall?" Shirley guessed.

Verac couldn't confirm it either. At the beginning, they had specially arranged someone to keep an eye on the Duke of Hall. Unfortunately, because of the turmoil in Laize, they were too short of manpower, so they interrupted the work in this area: "It may be, it may be No, the most important thing now is to verify the situation, if it is just a false alarm, that would be great, if the government forces are really eyeing this place, it means that we have been surrounded, and the possibility of escaping is very slim."

  Xue Lier thought for a while: "Why don't I go out and try it out."

   "How do you want to test?"

"After all, I am a member of the intelligence department. I have a sharper and more accurate feeling than Comrade Connie about whether someone is following me and monitoring me. If I have the same feeling after going out for a while, there is a high probability that we were indeed caught Surrounded." Shirley said.

   "...Okay." Verak agreed to Shirley's application, "Also, if you confirm that someone is watching us after you go out, then if you have a chance to escape, you don't have to come back."

  Sherriton, who was about to turn around and go out, stopped.

"Think about it, we are surrounded, and we will definitely not be able to escape. Of course, in this case, it is best if one less person can be arrested." The panic and fear, he finished speaking calmly, then watched Shirley leave.

  Walking out of the warehouse, Shirley wrapped her coat tightly and walked to the side with her head down.

  Not long after she left the warehouse, she noticed several eyes falling on her.

  That was not the casual glance of ordinary passers-by, but a deliberate, hostile look.

  However, Shirley couldn't conclude from this that someone was really watching them. She didn't look left and right, but walked all the way out, getting farther and farther away from the warehouse.

  As she walked away step by step, she noticed more ailments. There were far fewer pedestrians on the nearby streets than before, and the frequent trucks seemed to have disappeared.

  Going further, after leaving the warehouse for about one kilometer, people began to increase again, and trucks were everywhere.

   It can be seen that the area within one kilometer extending outward from the warehouse is under control. The disappearance of the truck seems to prevent them from escaping from the truck compartment.

When she first came out, Shirley wondered if the careful and thoughtful Duke Hall sent someone to monitor them, but now it seems that this kind of power is definitely not something that Duke Hall can do. The fact that the government forces surrounded them basically verify.

  Then what to do next?

  Even if she knew that she and the general liaison office were surrounded, Shirley wasn't too nervous. She was still walking outside while secretly thinking about countermeasures.

   Is it possible that important comrades such as General Liaison Office and Verak are really going to be arrested?

  Even the general liaison office has been found out, what is the situation of comrades in other sub-offices?

  She knew that Verac hoped that she could escape if she was in danger, but where could she go when she was clearly being watched? Isn't it the same as bringing danger to the other party if you find someone from another branch to help you?

  The ending is doomed.

  Finally, Shirley bought two packs of cigarettes and went back to the warehouse.

"How about it?"

"How about it?"

  Passing by Spencer, Cyril, and Nizan who were guarding the door, stairwell, and entrance on the second floor, they asked Shirley one after another.

   Shirley gave them a unified answer: "We have been surrounded by government forces."

   This sentence made everyone's hearts sink to the bottom.

When Verac saw Shirley, he didn't ask her why she didn't leave after checking the situation, because he knew very well that Shirley was a very rational person, and if she had the opportunity to leave to preserve the revolutionary forces, she would definitely do so. Going back to the warehouse now can only show that it is impossible to escape alone: ​​"It seems that the work of the action team has to be suspended for reorganization."

"what are you thinking?"

"Connie, destroy all the documents and materials." Verac explained his thoughts with practical actions, "Murphy, first send a telegram to the main station to explain our situation, and then notify the various sub-offices to suspend work to ensure their own safety. Waiting for the terminal to take over later."

   "Understood." Murphy gritted his teeth and started sending telegrams.

  Connie hesitated a bit, but she still lit the flame and began to burn the materials one by one.

   "It seems that you have expected this day." Shirley thought she was very calm, but compared with Verak, it was far behind.

"I didn't expect this day. If we could have expected it, we would not have fallen into the current situation. I just know that the revolution is dangerous, and I know that it is even more dangerous to stay in Lezein, so I am ready to face everything. "Verak drew out his pistol and checked it.

"There is still a gap. We have just done some valuable things." Shirley can hardly describe her feelings at this time. She is about to face the end of death. She has nothing to fear, but there seems to be endless words, but He held back his indescribable emotion.

Verak put the bullets into the magazine: "This is the revolution. It is not a victory until there is a complete victory. There is no real security. Let alone us, even the Fetier defense line is not sure whether it can be held forever Whether Comrade Winston's experiment will be successful is still unknown."

  He himself was a little surprised.

  When facing the situation of being surrounded, about to be arrested or sacrificed, the heart will be so peaceful.

It may be that too many comrades have sacrificed before, experienced too many thrilling tests, and the boundary between life and death began to become blurred in his eyes. He has completely integrated into the great cause of this collective, so he will not feel I will really pass away because of death.

   "...It's worth it to finish the previous work." Shirley also showed her pistol.

  Verak looked at the beam above the warehouse, which no one would notice, and even if it was searched, it would be difficult to see the clues: "It is enough to contribute as much as we can."

  —

   Leicester City, International Equality League Office Building, Keating's Office

  "Chairman Keating!" A comrade rushed in without knocking on the door, and tremblingly presented Keating with a sealed telegram, "A telegram from the Laizein Wartime Action Team."

   "From Verac?" Keating was stunned for a moment, then took the page calmly, then nodded slightly calmly, "...Have you tried to contact Hall?"

   "Going to contact, but no response." Comrade said.

"It seems that there is a problem over there." Keating analyzed the reason why Veraker and the others were exposed, "Go and call back first and tell Veraker not to insist on resisting. We also have key personnel of the government army here. When the time comes It is absolutely possible to negotiate with them to exchange hostages. After that, let other comrades come to a meeting."

"yes."

  The comrade in charge of transmitting the secret message left, and Keating sighed softly.

  Like Veraker, he knew that in such a dangerous place as Laizein, it was very common for him to be arrested and sacrificed for revolution.

  Ordinary comrades are like this, and Verak cannot be an exception.

  The tired Keating was stunned for a while.

  He doesn't regret it, because he knows that Verak's beliefs and ideas will not be shaken by him. It is inevitable to stay in Laizein and develop to where he is today.

   At the same time, he believed that he could rescue Verak.

  —

  Leizein, government military garrison

  General Selt couldn't sit still any longer. He wished he could take people to join Hot Ward right now, and arrest all the people in the general liaison office of the action team.

  But reason prevented him from doing so.

  He now needs to wait for his subordinates to find out whether the addresses in Duke Hall's folder are true.

  If it is true, they will deploy across the board, and unified action will obtain the greatest benefits. However, breaking through the general liaison office of the action team impatiently now, alarming the other members of the action team, will cause them to spend a lot of effort to eliminate it bit by bit for a long time in the future.

   "General! All verifications are over!"

  Finally, an officer hurried back to the conference room with the results.

  Selter and several other senior officers subconsciously stood up, waiting for him to elaborate.

"These addresses are basically empty, and there is no trace of the International Equality League action team. It should be that when we checked the camera before, the action team guessed the hidden danger in this regard and moved it in advance." The officer said, "However, It is not ruled out that Duke Hall gave us false information."

   "He shouldn't lie at this juncture, unless he doesn't want to live anymore." Officer Woolley didn't think Duke Hall had the guts.

"...It doesn't matter, as long as the biggest fish is still in our hands." Celt was a little disappointed, but the fact that Verac and the general liaison office of the International Equality League Action Team had been surrounded made him feel happy on the whole, " Now, the various ministries are stepping up inspections of the neighborhoods, and must ensure that there will be no omissions in the follow-up. People from the cavalry regiment are going to follow me to the North District to join Hua De."

"yes!"

"yes!"

"yes!"

The final news was sent back, confirming that the government army did not need to wait for a while. After ambushing at the exposed position of other action teams, Celt took a car and personally brought part of the cavalry regiment to the North District. Meet with Officer Hua De who had secured the vicinity of the abandoned warehouse hours ago.

   "Is there anything unusual?" Celt held a telescope and peeked at the warehouse from a hidden location.

   "No, two people came out to buy things today." Huot Huadehui reported.

   "Then don't wait, just arrest people."
