Chapter 276 Pigeon Flock, Tactical Evaluation

Roughly since ten years ago, the feral pigeons in the urban area of ​​Danaro have gradually become a disaster.

Clean and bright roofs are a memory of the past.The tops of nearly every building are now covered in gray-green pigeon droppings.The part of the open air that people can see is actually quite lucky, after all, the rain can wash away some of it.But in the dark corners of those old buildings, the wet excrement will accumulate day after day, until the stinky juice seeps through the ceiling, or the supports are suddenly crushed, and people realize that there is a mountain of excrement hidden on top of their heads. filth.

In the worst case, you need to bring an umbrella and a hat even when you travel on a sunny day, because the pigeons fly by and the thin bird droppings fall like raindrops.Before 620 of the new calendar, there were only a few hundred white pigeons in the squares of the whole city, but now there may be millions... Some people say tens of millions, the exact number has long been impossible to count.

The pigeon droppings investigation department published an article in "Lady's Family" that the number of feral pigeons was out of control, and the first thing to blame was the infestation of bedbugs.During this decade, downtown Danaro first became infested with bedbugs for unknown reasons.After eating these bedbugs, the docile and elegant domestic pigeons gradually became mouse-like in temperament, timidly avoiding humans, and eating kitchen waste in alleys.Once in a group, they show aggressiveness. In addition to suddenly swooping down to grab the food in the hands of passers-by, they also smashed through the glass at night, stealing the poor people's little coarse food.

Duchy authorities regularly hire men to shoot them, but this has not slowed the population increase.Maybe they ate too many bedbugs, the meat of these wild pigeons also exudes a strange stench, and they can't even be used as feed.Hunting them does not bring in any income and becomes a financial burden for the authorities, so in the end, the clean-up of the colonies always falls flat.

A few gray-black pigeons landed on the snow-covered window sill, tilting their heads steadily to observe the room.Once it finds that someone is looking at them, it will flap and fly away.At this time, Ke Lin had already put on clean clothes. Thanks to the biological protective suit-like overalls, the pigeon droppings that collapsed from the ceiling just now did not cast too many shadows on him, but it was just as uncomfortable.

This is the first floor of the apartment where the investigation department is located. If you look at it from the street or even the outside of the corridor, this is just an ordinary row residential building, but in fact the walls and floors of the first and second floors have all been opened, and the space is very wide. A place like a training room.Ke Lin couldn't help but suspect that maybe this entire row of buildings actually belonged to the investigation department.

"Investigation Department" is his abbreviation for "Pigeon Poop and Electromagnetic Hazard Investigation Department".Now, Colin has learned the real name of the department behind it: the Allied Central Intelligence Service.

It is a huge network covering the whole world, and the "Investigation Department" here is one of its many nodes, which is called "Danaro Station" within the system.

The emir and the old man known as the commander were standing not far away, and all three were waiting for another colleague to come back.By the way, chatting about the dead informant.When discussing these subjects, they did not avoid Colin.

"We shouldn't develop informants in the Metropolitan Theater too early." Emile seemed to be complaining:
"It's like reaching into the Grand Duke's private back garden. It's too sensitive there."

"Well, from Edmund's point of view, everything in the Principality is his family business."

The commander's voice was weak, but there was an inexplicable weight in the language:
"But the principality is still part of the alliance after all."

"We don't have to ask some questions. We can let him do some tricks in the dark. But in this matter now, he can only cooperate with us."

"Which thing?" Emil didn't react for a while.

"Follow No. [-]."

This is a code name, but almost without thinking, Emil found the corresponding event from hundreds of operation code names.

"The Iceni intelligence officer." He murmured thoughtfully.

A month earlier, a foreign intelligence officer had been busted in the heart of the Confederacy.But he also escaped smoothly and was protected by the Iceni embassy in the principality.The alliance authorities are negotiating and at the same time carrying out secret arrests.But now, according to the commander-in-chief's tone, the intelligence officer did not obediently hide in the embassy, ​​but ran to the Metropolitan Theater instead.

It is not yet possible to conclude that the Grand Duke is related to the spy, but if the Grand Duke continues to obstruct the investigation department's activities as in the past, unnecessary misunderstandings will definitely occur.

Edmund has his bottom line, and Baidu also has Baidu's bottom line.Tower Seven would not allow a border prince to get too close to the Iceni Empire.Even if there is such a suspicion.

"So don't pay attention to his beating, and continue to investigate." The commander said lightly.Emir couldn't help showing a wry smile. The people above said a word lightly, but the people below had to risk their lives.The thin commander hunched over and looked at the white snow outside the window:
"What a snow." He said, "The footprints of the prey will become obvious."

The commander seemed to feel a little cold, he shivered, stretched out his hands to warm his stiff knees:
"A few days ago, Edmund invited me to hunt deer in the mountains. I declined because I was afraid of the cold, but I still had to go out to chat with him..."

The old man muttered something, but he was talking to himself.

Colin didn't interrupt their conversation, but just quietly collected information.

By now, he would no longer believe that Nancy's "Amo Gattuso" was just used to cover up his identity as an underground wizard.A fool can also think that allowing him to enter the Central Intelligence Agency of the Alliance should be the key arrangement for "taking the Principality of Edmond".

At this time, the door of the training ground was opened, and the small door of the ordinary house seemed very incongruous with the wide wall.Ellie came in, and several people had been waiting for her for 10 minutes.

Under her winter hat is capable short ear-length hair, and she clenches her fists when she walks, making her look very sharp.Although the eyes are not the cannibalistic look when they met last time, they are also as cold as the frost outside the window.

"I've been waiting for a long time." She took off her gloves, her movements and voice were capable beyond her age.Ellie then tiptoed and started warming up.

Combat capability assessment.

The team needs to quickly grasp the abilities of new members in all aspects, including the tactical level.But Colin didn't expect Ellie to be the evaluator, he thought it would be Rui who looked more fierce and experienced.

After all, the other party looked younger than him, or by the standards of his previous life, he looked like a middle school student.

"What's the matter?" As if sensing Colin's hesitation, Ellie turned her head slightly dissatisfied.

At this time, Emil on the side couldn't help laughing.He knew that those who underestimated Ellie would definitely pay the price.
