Spy Family

Chapter 59 After the Torrent

The garbage army on the island split into tentacles and rushed into the streets. The strength was uneven. The short tentacles collapsed and sank when crossing the river. The farthest ones penetrated nearly ten kilometers into the new city. Destroy the brightness and cleanliness of the place you pass by.

From an aerial perspective, the garbage island looks like a huge sea creature clinging to Zhai Jingshi's body to suck nutrients.

The garbage did not move forward very fast, so the casualties caused were not high. Eleven policemen and 23 civilians were killed, and hundreds of others were injured. However, there were countless property losses. The garbage not only occupied the streets, but also rushed into the streets through doors and windows. Inside the building, the entrances and exits of tall buildings were blocked, and shorter houses were directly swallowed up.

The garbage island incident had a greater impact than the sudden arrival of the Uranus spaceship. After being frightened and confused, the residents of Zhaijing City began to feel angry.

Statements from relevant parties came belatedly, and their main content was to appease people's hearts, promising that the garbage would be cleared away and order in the old city restored in the shortest possible time. However, the reasons were unclear and they were all called accidents.

The psychological trauma caused by the incident is immeasurable, especially since this garbage creature seems to be dead and not stiff. It may twitch when and where, so a pile of garbage, sometimes a car, is suddenly destroyed by the bottom. Other rubbish was lifted high and then collapsed, horrifying the viewers.

It was not until the evening that many agencies reached a consensus, set up a coordination group, and recruited helicopters from all over the city to pick up the trapped people from the high-rise buildings. The next morning, they began to clean up the garbage.

The damage to the old city was the most severe. The house Lu Linbei rented and Mei Qianzhong's home were both uninhabitable.

The old woman was picked up by her children. Lu Linbei took Chen Manchi and Mrs. Hongque to temporarily stay at Mei Wangzhen's home. She was lucky. Linhu District belonged to the new city, about five kilometers away from the garbage island, and had not been invaded. .

Mei Wangzhen came back once and let the two women sleep in the only bedroom. She would live outside for the next few days.

She only had time to briefly introduce the situation: She was on the garbage island before the incident and saw with her own eyes that the towering garbage piles seemed to come to life and merge with each other. At one time, they seemed to grow heads and limbs, but in the end they went straight down and stretched out strips. Tentacles.

As soon as he noticed the abnormality and discovered that this thing might affect the area on the other side of the river, Mei Wangzhen sent a reminder to Lu Linbei, but it only allowed them to run out a few minutes earlier than the others.

In the end, panic led to traffic paralysis, blocking the escape route for most people.

Lu Linbei slept on the sofa for a few hours. After getting up, he immediately went to the diplomatic apartment. This was the order conveyed by Mei Wangzhen.

On the way, while eating the food made by Chen Manchi, he analyzed the whole incident. He was confused no matter what he thought.

The most likely reason is that Future Whip has a secret weapon hidden on the island, but this weapon is too weird, and its actual power is far less than its appearance. .

In the Diplomatic Apartments, the number of employees of the Emergency Department has increased significantly. The difference between them and ordinary tenants can be seen at a glance. They never whisper to each other. They basically remain silent in the elevators and corridors. Only after entering the designated area do they interact with others. chat.

After checking his identity, Lu Linbei was taken into a room and immediately put to work.

The house has been simply renovated and filled with office desks, chairs and related equipment. There are already more than ten people working here, receiving secret messages from all over the world. Each person only translates independent words, and the prefaces do not match the subtitles. Printing On paper, give it to the collector and send it to the third uncle's office.

Although the extremists of Future Whip have been arrested, Uncle San still does not believe in computer networks. In his case, the complete contents of secret messages will only be printed on paper.

Operating the machine is very simple. Lu Linbei learned it in the espionage class and quickly got started. The translated words are completely unrelated and have varying distances between them. They have to be deciphered again before they can be combined with other words into a smooth sentence.

After working for three hours, Lu Linbei took a fifteen-minute break and met Lu Yezhou while drinking drinks in the lounge.

You were also captured as a laborer? Lu Yezhou asked with a wry smile, Yesterday was really thrilling. I was on the island and almost couldn't get on the boat. I wanted to talk to you, but the scammer said he had already warned me.

Well, just in time, I escaped to the top floor and escaped.

It's inexplicable. I'm still inexplicable to this day. It was clearly stated before that there were probably missiles hidden on the island, but the result...

Lu Yezhou's name was called. His rest time was over and he had to go back to continue his labor.

The people who work together are all farm boys, some with the surname Mei and Lu. They ignore each other while working and nod to each other during breaks. Those who are more familiar with each other like Lu Linbei and Lu Yezhou will chat in a low voice.

Lu Linbei judged that the third uncle had probably received some level of support from the superiors to mobilize so many people.

The whole day passed like this, and around eight o'clock in the evening, new people came in. Lu Linbei was notified and asked to go to the deputy director's office.

He was promoted and was responsible for restoring the secret message to its integrity. The operating procedures were ready-made and not complicated, but they required extreme meticulousness and no room for sloppiness.

If you make a wrong punctuation mark, your professional ability will also be doubted. A fat woman in her fifties warned. She has been doing this job for nearly twenty hours and must rest, so she needs a Substitute.

After guiding and supervising Lu Linbei's work for half an hour, the fat woman left with satisfaction.

He has an independent small table, located four or five meters behind the third uncle. When outsiders open the door and come in, they will first see him working when they turn around.

When there is a lot of work, there is almost no pause, and documents are kept on the table. Even if there are only two or three copies, the sender will show a stern look and move slightly heavier when putting down the documents in his hand as a reminder. How important are these secret messages to the young investigator.

Lu Linbei quickly got used to this rhythm. Every time he recovered a secret letter, he immediately sent it to his third uncle's desk without proofreading.

Many times, he didn't even care about what was written in the secret letter. He concentrated on every word and word, making sure not to make any mistakes.

The third uncle didn't seem to notice the change. He never looked at who was coming. He always scanned the secret message first and determined its importance at a glance. He would either pick it up immediately and read it carefully, or wait until he finished the business at hand. , After talking to the guest, read slowly.

Occasionally, when he is not so busy, Lu Linbei has time to glance at the contents of the secret messages and finds that most of them are from aliens, with Uranus and Mingwang being the most common. What is this letter saying?

The staff took turns to take breaks, except Uncle San, who was always sitting in charge, like a tireless machine.

People often come in to report or discuss. Lu Linbei does not raise his head even when he is free, and his ears are automatically blocked. Occasionally, he hears a sentence or two, which is as fragmentary as a secret message.

After twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, the number of secret messages gradually decreased, and the fat woman came back to replace her, leaving Lu Linbei to rest.

It is said to be a rest, and you are not allowed to go home. There are two rooms in the diplomatic apartment for sleeping. The beds, sofas, and inflatable mattresses are all used. Snoring comes one after another. There are often noises from the bathroom, but for those who are extremely tired, He said that none of this was a problem, so he fell down and slept until he was forcefully awakened.

After Lu Linbei woke up, his job was to help the fat woman and deliver the complete confidential documents to the third uncle's desk. When there were too many files or the fat woman went out for something, he would temporarily take over.

The work intensity of both of them was reduced a lot, and Lu Linbei had the opportunity to observe the surrounding situation.

It turned out that he had a colleague at the other end of the room. They were also two people, a man and a woman, and two secretaries. They were responsible for conveying the orders issued by the third uncle or contacting someone.

There was also a replacement for the secretary. That afternoon, the person replaced was a forgetful person. She worked very seriously and only nodded once to Lu Linbei who happened to walk over.

On the same afternoon, the third uncle began to ask Lu Linbei to stay with him more and more frequently, pointing at certain passages in the secret letter and raising questions, asking him to answer them. It started with questions about words and sentences, and gradually involved the content.

Lu Linbei knew that he had been allowed to view the contents of the secret message, so every time he sent a message, he quickly browsed it. The secret message was usually not long, and a few steps were enough for him to get an overview.

Fragments of content are assembled into meaningful texts. Sometimes they answer a certain question, sometimes they retell the previous topic. In rare cases, there may not be one article in two hours, and the secret letter will tell a complete event. , regardless of whether he could understand it or not, Lu Linbei understood that it was extremely important and should be delivered to his third uncle immediately - not on the table, but in front of his eyes.

At about five o'clock in the afternoon, the third uncle asked Lu Linbei to handle the secret messages for him, classify them by events, and arrange them in order of importance. The most important secret messages still needed to be delivered to him immediately.

Mei Wangzhen is in charge of the other stall, mainly listening to the calls from all parties and sorting them out according to the same rules.

The third uncle was finally able to go to sleep for a few hours. After waking up, he first listened to the brief descriptions of the two people, quickly caught up with the changes in the situation, and then looked at the documents worth reading.

The same work lasted for three days. Lu Linbei and Mei Wangzhen became more and more proficient, and gained more and more trust from the third uncle. There were fewer and fewer articles that the third uncle needed to read.

Eventually, the two became Uncle San's full-time deputies, and another person was found to take over their original jobs.

Lu Linbei has never been home and cannot talk to outsiders. He finally has a resting place shared by two people, where they can take a bath and sleep on the bed.

He has a quite detailed understanding of the entire incident, not only the garbage island, but also the higher-level and interstellar struggles, which makes him more cautious in his words and actions.

On the seventh day after garbage flooded the streets, more than half of the affected streets have still not returned to normal, but a related battle has been decided.

Lu Linbei received a secret letter and immediately sent it to his third uncle. At the same moment, Mei Wangzhen strode over from the other side.

The two documents appeared at the same time. The third uncle glanced at them without looking at them carefully. He leaned back in his chair and sighed softly, showing something close to frustration for the first time.

The third uncle closed his eyes for a moment, then opened his eyes and said: It's time to finish the paperwork. There is only one most important task at the moment: find out whether our 'immediate boss' has been replaced? Who has been replaced?
