Chapter 165 022. No news in a small country
Boom - boom!

The missile flew out for a certain distance, then ignited again, and instantly accelerated to hit the armored vehicle, blowing it up into the sky and turning it into a fiery fireball.Under Barnum's shocked gaze, the bearded man put away the launcher and waved his hand at him, signaling him to close the window quickly to avoid being scratched by stray bullets.

"Hey - Barnum, the embassy called me and told me to stay in the company, what's going on? I heard gunshots, tanks, armored vehicles driving past downstairs, oh my god, what's going on ?”

coup.

Barnum quickly guessed this possibility.

There is no doubt that this is a military coup, and it is a well-planned, sudden action.

He remembered that the bearded man took pictures every day, watched the guards with binoculars, and that the guards didn't change their guards today.

"They've been ready for a long time." Barnum sat on the chair, not knowing what to do.

The sudden great change destroyed his peaceful life and outlook on life. People huddled at home and did not dare to look up, for fear of being affected. Just downstairs, the rebels and the military police of the principality launched a fierce gun battle, and the bullets even pierced through the He broke his glass and left a clear bullet hole on the nanmu cabinet.

Not long after, he saw the man with the beard pick up another rocket launcher, trying to provide cover for the friendly forces again. As soon as he looked up and saw himself frozen in place, he immediately shouted anxiously at him:

"Back in! Don't come out!"

laugh!
As soon as the bearded man finished speaking, a blade grew out of his chest. The agent of Law [-] indifferently drew out his weapon and dragged the bearded man into the room. Then there was a horrifying scream and blood spattered. On the window, even though it was a street away, Barnum seemed to smell the fishy smell of rust.

vomit--

He almost vomited, a grenade exploded downstairs, and the bang made him deaf instantly. The shock wave shook him back into the house, and Barnum rolled over in terror, using his hands and feet, and hid in the toilet.

There were footsteps coming from the corridor, women's screams, and the sound of bullets hitting the marble tiles from time to time. Barnum didn't dare to make a sound. He curled up in a corner, covered his mouth, and was too scared to go out.

The law and order war was fought for at least one day, and the sound of gunfire was endless. The agents of Law [-] went from house to house and took the opportunity to search and arrest him. He was brutally dragged out of the bathtub, beat him hard, and asked him if he had seen Bermudez. .

At first Barnum thought that if he answered no, then Law [-] would give him a whip, and if he answered yes, Law [-] would ask where to see it.

But he was wrong, the third rule did not give him a chance to quibble at all, beat him until he almost vomited blood, and then poured cold water on his face to wake him up.

When he curled up in pain and blurted out what Bermudez was, Law Three believed his words and let him go.

Desperately, Barnum came to the dilapidated balcony, straightened the chair, and threw himself on it, the wound on his face prevented him from opening his eyes.

The light of the artificial sun is still so bright, but the wind carries the smell of burning tanks.

It's like throwing a piece of expired pork in a coal stove.

Barnum squinted his eyes. In other countries, Frostplated spies could arrest and beat people at will, even if he was an employee of GTB and a Frostplated citizen.

In the company group chat, many colleagues were beaten, and some were even detained. People accused and complained, asked their superiors for asylum, and even called the embassy, ​​hoping to return home.

However, regarding their demands, the senior officials of GTB kept silent and watched them being beaten for no reason by Rule [-]. Instead, they rejected their applications to return to China on the grounds that while you are still working, according to the company's regulations, you cannot leave.

"What the hell."

He drank a glass of whiskey, and the oak taste made the bruise on his face feel more like someone punched him.

Barnum looked at the window of the apartment opposite, and through the media and the word of mouth of his colleagues in the company, he knew for the first time in his life what Bermudez was.

In the language of the locals, Bermudez means: berm.

They are a group of people who seek national independence in the Principality of Gurante, hoping that the country will be normal and its sovereignty will be restored.

It sounds ridiculous.

Barnum glanced at the guards at the Grand Duke's mansion. They changed their guards again. They were as precise as machinery. The tall and strong guards held their heads high. Obviously, they successfully defended the Grand Duke, with proud expressions on their faces.

He looked at the window of the opposite apartment, but the bearded man didn't come out to watch with the binoculars anymore.

Barnum sat blankly on the chair, for the future, he no longer knew what to do.

Suddenly, there was a tactile sensation on his shoulder, and someone patted him on the shoulder. Barnum didn't slow down, and was about to turn his head, but a man pulled out a plastic food stall chair and put it beside him. He picked up his whiskey, poured himself a glass, took a sip, and said to him:

"Whiskey is kerosene without ice."

Barnum just wanted to call you nonsense, the refrigerator was broken, and I was seriously injured, otherwise I would have to add a hockey puck——then he suddenly realized that when he came back, he locked the door, how did this man come up of?
Looking at it again, the man's appearance is a bit familiar, his face is extremely handsome, but he is rare in his life, and there is a charm that cannot be ignored in his gestures.

Barnum looked more and more familiar. The man saw a pack of cigarettes on his table and raised his eyebrows:
"Romantis?"

"Er—yes."

He took one unceremoniously, and gave him a hand logically: "Dude, borrow a fire."

Who's with you buddy!

Barnum unhappily popped the lighter out of his arms, and lit a cigarette for the man. The handsome man was hanging the cigarette, but he didn't take a puff. He just let the smoke pass through his mouth, as if he was just trying to refresh himself with the tobacco. He took out the cigarettes one by one, put them on the table, and pulled out the tinfoil interlayer that was used as a space between the cigarettes and the box.

Under Barnum's weird gaze, the man meticulously followed the creases and re-folded the tinfoil backwards, as seriously as he was when he was a child origami gun. Finally, he folded the tinfoil into a card.

"Yo, good luck. 'Sentimental' from the Romance Messenger series."

The man grinned. For the first time, Barnum felt that men could look better than women when they smiled, and couldn't help being stunned. Just when he began to doubt his sexual orientation, the man's eyes swept over.

With his clear and bright eyes and his handsome appearance, Barnum couldn't get any affection at the moment, but he could feel that the man's temperament was very gentle and friendly, not aggressive at all.

No, his beauty is not a vulgar beauty, but a generous, magnetic charm that makes people want to get close.This kind of charm is pure, without any dirty thoughts.

Barnum thought: I really met a strange person. He touched the fourth floor without making a sound, and he still has this kind of charm. If he is going to run for the president, what's the matter with Mrs. Medway?
"I took your cigarettes and alcohol, and you can make a modest request of me, Barnum Ziegling."

The man's words are full of convincing power, making people firmly believe that he is serious.

But Barnum still hesitated and asked:

"Who the hell are you? Why are you looking for me?"

The man was surprised, but smiled and asked:

"You really don't know me?"

Barnum suddenly thought of something, the man immediately changed his expression, and said:
"The atrocities that are inhumane must be made public—"

With a flash of inspiration in his mind, Barnum blurted out, and said in unison with the other party:
"A man can die as a human being, but not live as a beast!"

He looked at each other in surprise and said:
"You, you are Li Aoz! Li Aoz who killed more than 100 people in Mingji Humanity... But you, why are you here? Why did you come to me?"

"Well, that's a long story."

Sitting on the plastic chair at the food stall, Li Aoz said playfully:
"Don't get excited, Barnum, you are the protagonist of this country."

"Uh, what do you mean?"

"You will understand later. In this country, there are still a few amazingly talented seeds. I want to dig you all up."

Seeing that Barnum was at a loss, Li Oz simply stopped talking about it:
"Since you're wondering why I'm here, let me tell you."

He took a sip of the wine, savored the taste, and said leisurely:

"The matter will start when I failed to assassinate the Grand Duke..."
