Volume 14: Devastation Chapter 691: Disguise and Infiltrate
"But I have another question . Is this 'Tower of Babel' their headquarters here?"
"No...their headquarters is in East District 3." Aya shook her head, "The East District 3 that has disappeared."
"What about the leader of this organization?"
"'Tower of Babel' is an alliance organization without a single leader. All decisions within the organization are made by the original group of independent hunters through voting at meetings . This is very similar to the United Parliament Group." Aya replied.
It should be very similar to the Undead Crew Council, right? Ke Lan complained in his heart that although the United Parliament Group also adopted a voting system, it was just some "insignificant little things". If the Undead Crew Council intervened, the so-called voting ceremony would be just a show for the people.
"What about these independent hunters? Are they all dead?"
"Only one person survived, the president of the New Star Chamber of Commerce, Shen Xin." Aya whispered, "And according to intelligence, he just returned to the Chamber of Commerce headquarters yesterday and has not left since."
"Well... Group B should be arriving soon by now." Ke Lan nodded to herself.
In order not to attract the attention of the remnants of the heretical sect, the personnel involved in this mission entered the economic development zone in batches. According to the pre-made plan, another group would enter the block from another entrance and then meet Ke Lan and the others at the agreed location.
This is a crossroads. To the northwest and southwest are tall office buildings, with smooth glass curtain walls reflecting the light from the artificial sun. To the southeast is a large, highly automated, unmanned factory building... As for the northeast direction, where the car is slowly approaching, it is the only place with a sense of life in the entire block - a "food street" with somewhat shabby buildings that is somewhat out of tune with the surrounding high-rise buildings.
It is now twelve o'clock in the afternoon, which is the lunch break time for the office workers in the office building opposite. Many young men and women in suits and OL skirts are sitting on the tables and chairs on the street. The air mixed with the smell of oil smoke and the aroma of cooking is spreading on the side of the road.
"Are you hungry?" Ke Lan turned his head and glanced at Aya, but the latter just rolled her eyes at him helplessly.
"Oh, sorry, I forgot that you don't need and can't eat in your current condition..." Ke Lan glanced at the two energy bars stuffed in the backpack, then took a deep sniff of the smell coming in from the car window. His Adam's apple couldn't help but slide up and down. "Then could you please buy me a roast duck rice?" Ke Lan asked shamelessly.
His appearance was very recognizable, especially when Yaguna Tor appeared in the public eye, his personal information was completely exposed by the Morgan Consortium... Although not every passerby could recognize him, if someone with ulterior motives caught a glimpse of him, it would easily arouse the vigilance of the remnants of the heretical sect.
In comparison, Aya, who has been active in the dark for many years and rarely appears in public, is almost impossible to be recognized. Especially after replacing her cyborg body, her figure and height have changed to a certain extent. Even Aya's former subordinates may not be able to recognize her without seeing her face.
"Ke Lan... Your Excellency." These words were almost squeezed out from between her teeth, "We are... in the process of taking action now... Can you be a little more serious?"
"Man is made of iron and rice is made of steel... skipping a meal..."
Before he could even utter the words "I'm so hungry", Aya interrupted him: "Don't you have some dry food in your backpack?"
"Energy bars don't taste good." Ke Lan said honestly, "Besides, don't you think that if we park the car here and do nothing, it will easily arouse suspicion? At this time, you get out of the car and buy two boxed lunches. This is the perfect way to blend into the surrounding environment... Hey, this is called, hiding in the city!"
"You... are full of nonsense." Aya was suddenly choked. Although her face was still full of disgust and reluctance, she still reached out for the car door.
"Remember to buy two box lunches. Even if you don't eat , you still have to act hard." Ke Lan said to her, "Oh, and for my portion, ask the boss to put more sauce and green onions, and add two grilled sausages and a braised egg!"
Aya's words "Don't go too far" rolled around in her throat, but she finally swallowed them back into her stomach - she reminded herself countless times in her heart that the other party was no longer the troublesome relic hunter, but a member of the Undead Crew, one of the people with the highest power on this human colony ship.
"……knew."
The newly appointed deputy director of the Security Bureau stepped out of the car with his amazingly long legs, took off the sunglasses hanging on his collar and put them on his face.
She first looked around the surroundings out of habit, and then walked towards a store with the words "Rice with Toppings" on its sign.
Ke Lan was looking at her back in the car.
"Hmm... it feels much more erect than before. The guy who designed this cyborg must be an LSP."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ke Lan saw two familiar figures in the rearview mirror of the car.
The ceiling of Ke Lan's combat power in this operation is Asano Akira, and Miss Sakurai Na, who is clamoring to come along.
At the latter's suggestion, the two pretended to be a couple - although most of the office workers in this development zone enjoy the blessing of 996, and are busy working almost all day except for eating and going to the toilet, the incidence of office romance is still high. Many young men and women who eat lunch in street shops are in pairs. For these office workers, lunch break is also a rare time in the day to increase their affection.
"It's true that they're disguising themselves as a couple, but the way these two are dressed...did they mistake the mission location for a scenic spot?" Ke Lan picked his nose speechlessly.
The two of them were wearing a modified kimono and wooden clogs... They didn't look like a couple of office workers in a nearby office building at all.
Asano Akira wore a pair of sunglasses, his hands folded in front of his chest, holding his sword that he almost never left, and his face still had the expression of a three-no boy. Sakurai Na, who was standing next to him, held Asano Akira's right arm with one hand and held a plastic bag with a few boxes of sushi in the other hand... Ke Lan knew this girl's appetite, so it was really unfair for her to eat only such a small amount of food.
The two of them quickly approached the hovercraft parked on the side of the road. Ke Lan rolled down the window a little and asked in a low voice, "Why are you dressed like this? This is not a spring outing..."
