Chapter 342: Smart
"Kil, speed up."
"OK." Kil pushed the putter to the limit.
The engine accelerated to drive the propeller, and the small boat of more than 200 tons rushed towards the coastline of the Sand Kingdom at a speed of 22 knots.
Chelsea, who was obviously guilty, also knew that the Sapiens company was not easy to mess with.
The other side.
On the sea in blazing flames.
The five soldiers who were blown away just now have sunk into the sea.
Inside the exoskeletons on the seabed, the exterior of those "soldiers" is melting away little by little, revealing the mechanical parts inside.
As the patrol ship capsized and sank, the bodies of the soldiers inside were melting away bit by bit.
Twenty minutes later, three patrol ships that came to the rescue arrived at the burning sea.
Susan, wearing sunglasses, stood on the bow of the boat, facing the salty sea breeze.
“It was a nice fireworks show.”
The patrol ship leader asked quietly, "Team Leader Su, we have detected the signal from patrol ship No. 6."
"Then let's start the salvage!"
"OK."
A dozen soldiers wearing diving exoskeletons quickly jumped into the sea and swam towards the location of the sunken patrol ship No. 6.
Although the water depth in this area is between 200 and 1000 meters, this depth is not difficult for the new human soldiers equipped with biological exoskeletons.
Using the pheromone transmitters on the patrol ship, a dozen soldiers easily determined the exact location of the sinking.
In the dark seabed, the patrol ship that had just sunk had a hull built with new materials and integrated manufacturing technology. It was not exploded by 15 tons of TNT, and the hull and various facilities inside the hull were basically intact.
After re-marking the location and installing several additional pheromone signal transmitters, the soldiers took the black box storing data from the cabin.
Then they quickly evacuated.
Return to the surface of the sea and give the black box to Susan.
Susan took a look at the black box and an inexplicable smile appeared on her face: "Okay, leave two patrol ships here to continue searching, and we will return to Hongku Port immediately."
"no problem."
…
at the same time.
Chelsea, who was in the cabin of the boat, was checking the satellite surveillance footage from the headquarters via satellite communications.
Just now, three Keyhole satellites passed over the Red Sea and captured images of the area around the explosion site.
Chelsea are now reviewing the data and he zooms in.
Looking at the picture, a fishing boat and a patrol ship met, the Homo sapiens soldiers boarded the fishing boat to check, then the fishing boat exploded, followed by the sinking of the fishing boat and the patrol ship.
The next step was for Hongku Port to send out rescuers to search the explosion area. He also saw more than a dozen divers sent out into the sea from one of the patrol ships.
Twenty minutes later, the divers surfaced again, and then the patrol ship returned to Hongku Port.
Through this series of pictures, Chelsea got the information he wanted. He looked at the explosion picture:
"Sure enough, this time the Homo sapiens field department did not discover it, which means that our intelligence was not leaked."
Suddenly, a text message containing only numbers and garbled English text popped up on his internal communication phone. Chelsea spent several minutes deciphering the text message.
Looking at the contents on the paper, he fell silent.
[Persian Gulf - Lawan Island mission was successful; Yemen - Mukalla mission failed; ...].
There are a total of 7 tasks, corresponding to 7 senior executives of the West Asian Black Ships, South Asian Black Ships, East African Black Ships and South African Black Ships.
Four missions were successful and three missions failed.
You should know that these tasks are all single-line tasks.
Now that a mission has failed, it means that three of the lines have been infiltrated, especially since he deliberately asked Howard to ask the other party to ask those supervisors to find people to carry out the mission personally.
'McDonald, Kim Phillips, David Cole...' Chelsea silently repeated these names in his mind. Although he was not completely sure, he had already included these people in the list of key suspects.
Four hours later.
As the sun sets in Hanak, a city on the west coast of the Saudi Kingdom, a small yacht slowly docks at the local pier.
Chelsea and Kiel abandoned the yacht and immediately took a car to Yanbu, a large city in the west of the Saudi Kingdom, using fake identities prepared in advance.
The reason why they were so cautious was that they knew the Hongku Port incident could not be concealed for long.
America has Keyhole satellites, and Sapiens also has a large number of spy satellites deployed in low-Earth orbit.
In other words, the scene of them driving the small yacht away from the fishing boat would soon be discovered by Homo sapiens. If they didn't run away now, they would definitely be killed without a burial place when the Homo sapiens company found them.
Driven by the desire to survive, Kiel drove the jeep to the vicinity of Yanbu Airport in just 47 minutes, covering the 173 kilometers between Hanak and Yanbu.
I immediately used special connections to buy a flight to Cape Town, South Africa at Yanbu Airport.
The moment they got on the plane, Chelsea and Kiel felt a little relieved.
The pressure of fighting against Sapiens is unimaginable. After all, among the major intelligence organizations in the world, Sapiens' field department is notoriously vicious, strange and vindictive.
Even though he is a high-ranking agent of the Black Ship, the Field Affairs Department will not show mercy to him or have any reservations.
at the same time.
South Africa.
Cape Town.
At this time, the regional center of the African black ships was established in this city.
In the office building with the sign of "Cape of Good Hope Trading Company", Howard, the Governor-General of Africa, also received reports on the seven operational missions.
He looked at the report in his hand with a serious expression on his face: "Is there really something wrong with them? No, it's just one mission, I can't be completely sure."
Howard rubbed the pen between his fingers, and all kinds of calculations flashed in his sharp eyes.
Obviously, Chelsea's attempt this time has brought a very serious crisis of trust within the Black Ship. Although many executives have worked for the Black Ship for decades, seniority does not mean loyalty.
Especially in recent times, the continuous intelligence leaks have made the Black Ship Headquarters extremely anxious.
Without investigation, intelligence will continue to leak, and many operations will be messed around by the Homo sapiens field department.
If we investigate, everyone inside will feel insecure and all work will be affected.
However, Chelsea's probing action gave Howard a very good idea, which was to use the members of the major families of the council and use the members of these council families as the base to cast bait and fish.
Now he has preliminarily screened out three suspicious executives.
However, Howard, who has worked in the intelligence community for decades, did not jump to conclusions.
If something goes wrong with those three missions by chance, we’ll end up killing our own people by mistake.
Howard quickly thought of a solution: "It seems that we must make another attempt."
Since we can’t be sure once, let’s try again. If there is still a problem with the mission this time, then there must be something wrong with these people.
Pete Mellon in North America has the same idea. He has planned to let Chelsea arrange another test, even if it will cost hundreds of millions of US dollars.
After all, compared to those US dollars, the security of intelligence is the key. It is related to the lives and property of all their families, so he cannot ignore it.
As soon as he got off the plane, Chelsea received a special instruction from Pete Mellon, which affirmed his contribution and asked him to continue exploring and find out the Homo sapiens chess pieces inside the black ship.
An invisible bloody storm officially broke out inside the black ship.
