Twenty Seven Years

  Chapter 205 Undercurrent surges

  December 16

   Keating accompanied Veraker to discuss the action for another day. In the afternoon, Piaf also joined the discussion and provided them with many valuable opinions.

  December 17

   Keating and Piaf were in charge of preparing for the fifth training course, while Verac, Diaz, Nord, and Murphy determined the candidate for action.

  The final decision among them is to participate in all.

  Diaz’s point of view is that only one person is exposed under the eyes of the government and has never been in contact with other members of the Equality Association, which will inevitably arouse the suspicion of the government. If you want to increase the credibility, it is best to do a full set of dramas, arrange the situation more carefully, and simply set up a fake Equality Association site.

  Verak didn't hesitate for too long this time, and agreed to the request of the three.

He realized that it was meaningless to say any more sensational words when facing the parting of life and death, so he only solemnly assured the three of them that he would definitely come up with the safest plan to ensure that the three of them could return safely when the mission was over. .

  Nord grinned, and replied on behalf of the three: "I believe in you."

  December 18

  The fifth training class started, and Verac and Keating took charge of the equality theory training on the first day.

  December 19th

  The theoretical course of the fifth training course was successfully concluded.

  That night, among the other three teams sent by Morais to prepare the weapons, good news came from two teams one after another, saying that they had found a solution to the weapons.

  One of the teams took advantage of the workers among the members, secretly established production lines in several factories, and opened up other material channels that were not strictly supervised, officially possessing the ability to make homemade guns and explosives. According to their output, at least 50% to 60% of the weapons can be prepared before the attack on the government building plan begins.

  The other team relied on money offensives, bribery, clearing up relationships, and secretly obtained a lot of gains from the police station and other government departments.

   Relying on their two teams, plus what the Equality Association already had and what was put together from other places, there is no need to worry about the weapons needed for this operation.

  December 20

   Another good news came.

  The intelligence department of the Equality Association was formally established and operated, and began to continuously provide the association with all the information it could grasp.

  Verak’s side is also basically ready, and chose to cooperate with the intelligence agency to carry out this operation by sneaking into the military warehouse, arousing the government’s vigilance, and then affecting its decision-making.

  At noon, a simple inauguration ceremony for the intelligence department was held, and Morais, Verac, Keating, Piaf, Intelligence Minister Charles and other cadres of the Equality Association had lunch together.

  At this time, there is only half a month left before the start of the master plan, and all aspects of the Equality Association have been implemented, and the overall progress has reached about 80%.

"It took us two years to grow up, and it took several months to accumulate enough ability to fight the government." Morais encouraged everyone at lunch, "But what really determines whether we can win is the Fifteen days from now. Every time we are fully prepared, our chances of victory will increase and casualties will decrease. During these fifteen days, I hope that everyone will take a deep breath and go all out to fight against the enemy. do the job best.”

   After lunch, Verac, Keating, Piaf, and Charles arrived at the hotel, preparing to see Diaz, Nord, and Murphy off.

"This is Charles, the minister of the newly established intelligence department in today's meeting. He will fully assist us in the next few days." Verac introduced each other, "This is Diaz, this is Nord, the two of them will be responsible for breaking into the military warehouse. This is Murphy, Diaz's younger brother, and he is mainly responsible for the operation of the fake site."

   "It's an honor to meet you." Charles shook hands with the three of them one by one. "Your mission is very difficult and full of dangers. I admire you very much, and I sincerely hope that you can successfully complete the mission and come back safe and sound."

   When it was time to leave, Nord, the most unruly person on weekdays, was more mature and stable than anyone else. He looked at Charles and said solemnly: "We will successfully complete the task."

   "Okay." Charles nodded.

   "Are you leaving?" Just as they were about to say goodbye, Morais also made a special trip to meet the three of them.

   "I don't need to introduce it." Verak laughed.

  When he first came to Morais, Diaz and the others met with Morais, but that was more than a month ago.

"Of course not, I remember them." Morais came to the three of them, patted their shoulders, and admired them all, "Diaz, Nord, and Murphy are all doing well. Our equality will establish an advantage in advance, it depends on you."

   "Don't worry." Diaz said.

  Morles let out a "hmm", and came to Murphy, who had curly hair and a face that was much younger than the people present: "Murphy, how old is this year?"

   "Twenty years old." Murphy replied.

"I'm still a child." Morais is in his forties. In his eyes, Murphy is no different from a child. "If possible, I really don't want such young people to fight the government as hard as we do. After all, our efforts , just to let their young people have a brand-new world and a bright future."

  Verak was listening.

   "Are you afraid?" Morais asked.

   "A little bit." Murphy licked his lower lip, unable to hide his nervousness.

   "He's fine," Diaz said.

  Morais knew that Diaz was Murphy's elder brother, so he stared at Diaz and inspected with his eyes: "Take care of your brother."

"I will."

  Verak saw that the time was almost up, and took a step forward: "Don't be stuck in the corridor, let's go."

  A group of people went down from the sixth floor of the hotel to the first floor, and finally stopped in front of the door.

   "Let's go, Verak." Nord showed a clear smile at Verak, and then without the slightest hesitation, he was the first to turn around and go out the door, walking towards the side road.

"goodbye."

"goodbye."

   After nodding to everyone, Diaz and Murphy followed Nord's footsteps and disappeared from Verak's sight.

   "Well..." Morais smoked a cigarette, "We have nothing, and we rely on these young blood and old system dignitaries to fight for equal rights and the right to change the world... I really wronged them."

   "Let's go." Keating didn't say anything during the period, and only said to Verac after Diaz and the others left.

  Verak was still in a daze, looking at the doorway where there was nothing left.

   They are Verak's most trusted friends, and were brought into this grand revolution by Verak. Now is the time for them to contribute to changing the world.

   "I wish I could change everything by myself," Verak murmured.

   Keating, Piaf, Morais, and Charles all looked at him.

…

   "Let's go." Knowing that everyone else was waiting for him, Verak suppressed the emotion and reluctance in his heart, and walked towards the passage leading to the underground casino. "We have a lot of things to do."

  December 22

  Government building, Ministry of Security, Interrogation Room of Intelligence Bureau

  Ross had more wounds on his body, but these wounds did not break his will anymore, but made him appear more tenacious.

  He never thought in his life how extraordinary he could be.

  Being able to escape from prison with Verac and accomplish something that no one has done in decades, he felt that it was already an impossible miracle. Now, with his own strength, he kept the secret for Veraker, which made the dignified intelligence chief helpless.

"Hurry up and tell me." In the interrogation room, the person in charge of interrogating Ross was tired, and just urged him casually from time to time, "Everyone benefits from speaking out, and keeping a secret for too long will no longer be a secret. "

  Ross remained motionless, frowning, eyes closed.

  Since Dawn's death, the furious Rock Shriver never came to see him again, as if he had given up on him, keeping his life just for a little theoretical possibility.

  And he, from the moment Dawn committed suicide, changed completely, and the last remaining hesitation and timidity in his heart disappeared without a trace.

  Dawn didn't want his wife and daughter to be implicated innocently, nor did he want Verak's secret to be discovered, and Rose sacrificed, so he chose to give his life to give hope to others.

   Only when he is dead will Valak's secrets be kept secret.

   Only if he is dead, Ross will not be silenced by Rock Shriver.

   Only if he is dead, his wife and daughter will not be in danger under Rose's protection.

   "Speak out." The interrogator stuffed Rose's mouth with meat, "You have persisted for more than a month, even if Chris finds out that you leaked the secret later, he will definitely forgive you."

  Ross spit out the meat in his mouth on the ground, silently expressing his attitude.

There was really no other way, and the interrogator who even begged for Ross looked at the flesh that fell on the ground, and couldn't bear it any longer. He wanted to give Ross a hard blow to vent his anger, but he was worried that the punch would directly kill the dying Ross, so he had to kick him. On the torture rack next to it: "Fuck you! When we catch Chris, when you lose your value, I'll be the first to come over and pull your tendons and skin your skin! Make you miserable!"

  Government Building, Rock Shriver's Office

   "Is there no clue yet in the investigation?" Rock Shriver rubbed the bridge of his nose, feeling a headache from the countless troubles in front of him.

   "The patrol has been searching, but there is still no clue." The subordinate replied.

"Snapped!"

  Rock Shriver smashed the gramophone on the ground: "Those trash only know how to take money! They don't know how to work! They're all **** rotten to the root! How can this group of trash find people who are equal members!"

   "But our manpower is really not enough, relying on us alone..." the subordinate whispered.

"That group of trash can't do anything, but I'm the one to take the responsibility in the end! Why?!" Rock Shriver was agitated, and was annoyed by the patrolling guards who had barely played a role, "Is there any result in the surveillance of the military warehouse? !"

  The subordinate quickly handed over a piece of information: "Yes, I am here to report this matter to you."

  Rock Shriver opened the file with a look of displeasure, and looked at the three people whose information was completely checked: "Nord, Diaz, Murphy, what do you mean?"

   "They are equals."

   "What's going on, tell me carefully." Locke Shriver sat down and straightened his collar.

"On the afternoon of the 20th, when our people were monitoring the military warehouse in the southern district, they discovered that this man named Nord had quietly punctured the tire of a truck in the warehouse, and then entered the warehouse for maintenance in the name of a maintenance worker." The subordinate said the ins and outs "His behavior was very suspicious. We investigated it and finally found that this person was not a maintenance worker at all, and had entered the interior of the military warehouse in the North District as early as a week ago. At that time, he was nominally repairing the punctured tire. .”

   Rock Shriver narrowed his eyes: "And then?"

"Our people immediately became vigilant, and did not disturb the unsuspecting soldiers in the military warehouse, and secretly investigated this man named Nord." The subordinate continued, "Soon we found out that he was rented near the southern military warehouse. We found a house where there were two other people besides him, namely Diaz and Murphy. So we started to investigate their information and found that Nord was a worker in the poor area of ​​Tsward, Joseph County. Yazz and Murphy are Montrego..."

   "They haunted the military warehouse in the North District more than a week ago. You didn't find anything unusual at that time?" Locke Shriver asked, "We could have found them a week in advance."

   "Because...because..." The subordinate was speechless.

  They stared at the military warehouse for several months, because they hadn't gained anything, so they were a little slack, and they didn't pay attention to what happened in the North District last time.

   "Are you sure they are members of the Equal Society?" Rock Shriver took a deep breath, not letting himself get angry again.

   "Yes." The subordinate immediately listed several unreasonable points as evidence that the three were members of the Equality Association.

"They investigate the military warehouse, it must be for weapons. If they have an idea about weapons, it means that they have made a big move." Locke Shriver snorted softly, and was a little proud of the surveillance measures he had set up near the military warehouse a few months ago. , "Keep an eye on their whereabouts. On the one hand, we must understand what they are investigating and report to me in real time. On the other hand, we must try to follow the clues and find out the entire Equality Association from their small site."

"clear."

After being drowned in powerlessness for so long, Locke Shriver finally grabbed a plank that could come out of the water to breathe, and couldn't help worrying that the plank could not support his body, or that he accidentally let go: "Forget it, I Go there yourself."

   "Okay." Seeing that even Rock Shriver couldn't hold his breath as time was running out, the subordinate became even more flustered, "What about Ross in the interrogation room?"

"Just stay there until he speaks out, or until we wipe out the Equality Society." Rock Shriver set up a small mirror, brushed his hair in front of the mirror, and made himself look decent, "Of course, we still have to continue arresting other fugitives."

"clear."

  Rock Shriver finished sorting out the image, and went out with a straight chest: "I will go to the minister to report the situation first, and then we will set off."
