Chapter 052 Waiting
Putting the recorder away, Jiang Bai returned to the car.
Shan Hongyi was lying on Xuelang's body, Nangong carefully sat on the passenger seat, and the director stood leaning on the car door.
They are all waiting for Jiang Bai to come back.
Should I go or stay?
They listened to Jiang Bai.
Jiang Bai organized the language,
"Although I hate to say this, there are some unexpected factors, and I must enter the Silver Sand Secret Tomb now."
Everyone behaved calmly and did not raise any questions.
"Director, you should lead the team as planned..."
Before Jiang Bai finished speaking, the director took the initiative to interrupt.
This kind of thing is not common among them.
"If you don't leave, neither will the Ninth Research Institute."
The director's attitude was very firm.
Shan Hongyi pulled out a handful of wolf hair and said casually,
"My sister and I have invested so much money in you, but you can see that even though I'm poor, I can't even grow taller! If you die, our money will be wasted!"
The stingy and greedy little loli held a handful of IOUs in her hands. She was very nervous under her casual appearance, fearing that Jiang Bai would force her away.
Nangong Xin was a little embarrassed. He wanted to imitate the director and scratch his head, but he forgot that half of his skull was cut off. He was so painful that he broke into a cold sweat when he touched it.
hiss--
After taking a deep breath, Nangong Xinxing said with an embarrassed look on his face,
"I...I still owe money to the institute...it's not good to leave like this..."
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Nangong Xiaoxin slapped himself in his heart.
Isn’t it cheap?
Although I have only a few days to live well, if I can regain my freedom, I still have a lot of things to do...
Nangong Xin was stunned for a moment. He found that even if Jiang Bai let him go, there seemed to be nothing worth doing for him.
All his life, he had been running on the road of survival. When he was dying, he had not yet figured out why he was alive.
Living is more like an instinct for him.
But just like the old saying Jiang Bai said, ‘Living is not just for the sake of living’.
Nangong Xiao wanted to stay. He asked himself that maybe he couldn't do anything beneficial to the world. At least, he could watch this group of people change the world?
That's good too.
After saying that, Nangong Xin took out a book and pretended to read it, his peripheral vision kept drifting towards Jiang Bai.
Blood Wolf Cheese felt that he should say something.
"Ouch——"
"Blood Leopard, shut up!"
Jiang Bai lightly slapped the wolf on the head, rewarded Shan Hongyi with a chestnut, patted the director on the shoulder, and glanced at Nangong carefully.
He didn't say much.
Jiang Bai respects their decision, just like they respect Jiang Bai's decision.
Jiang Bai nodded,
"Since you have decided to stay, start Plan A..."
"I said stop!"
Curious baby Shan Hongyi had another question. He raised his hand and asked,
"Why is the plan to enter the Silver Sand Secret Tomb a plan A and the retreat plan a plan C?"
Jiang Bai pushed up his non-existent glasses and patiently explained,
"Plan C is usually our main plan, and Plan A is the worst plan. This can confuse the enemy. If the intelligence is stolen by the enemy, it can also cause them to misjudge."
Shan Hongyi:......
I'm impressed by you old man!
Jiang Bai continued,
"According to plan A, you drive a car to the Governor's Mansion to avoid the upcoming turmoil. I enter the Silver Sand Secret Tomb alone. If I don't come back within 7 days, there will be an airship to pick you up and leave the Silver Sand Base. You go first. , I will be there soon..."
Jiang Bai's plan was very thorough, and no one present objected.
When they were parting, the director thought again and asked a question:
"Do you need to shake someone?"
Jiang Bai's eyes lit up, "Can you predict the future?"
The director shook his head.
I really can't shake this.
"forget about it."
Jiang Bai sighed, not too disappointed,
"Don't shake anyone unless you know for sure that I'm dead."
Shan Hongyi didn’t understand again,
"Brother Jiang Bai, if you really...will it be too late to shake people off by then?"
Everyone is cold, why are you trying to shake people over?
Collect the body?
Revenge?
"Look, you are young again."
Jiang Bai once again taught Shan Hongyi a lesson,
"The first time you heard about my death, it must be false news. Brother Jiang Bai and I are such a cautious person. Faking death is a required course. In Azeroth, do you know that I was very good at pretending to be dead on that continent? Proficient!"
"I see!"
Shan Hongyi raised his eyebrows, and the negative mood just now was instantly diluted. He was once again shocked by Brother Jiang Bai's old tricks!
As expected of you, Brother Jiang Bai!
You can even imagine such a thing as fake death!
Even such a smart me was almost deceived!
Only the director had a sad face and kept grabbing his chicken coop, wanting to speak but stopping but wanting to speak.
He understood what Jiang Bai really meant.
Tianwen can't go wrong.
If [Tianwen] tells the director, Jiang Bai is dead.
Then, Jiang Bai is probably really dead.
There is no possibility of suspended animation.
Jiang Bai doesn't let the director shake people now for two reasons.
On the one hand, Jiang Bai believes that he can handle the enemies at this stage by himself, and he has not reached the stage of overpowering them.
On the other hand, Jiang Bai was worried that he would not be able to deal with the people who came.
It is easier to ask God than to send Him away.
Jiang Bai didn't like this passive situation.
But if Jiang Bai is really dead, it will be a different situation!
In the words of 1,200 years ago, Jiang Bai's death means that a world-destroying disaster is about to break out!
The director's move was neither to collect Jiang Bai's corpse nor to avenge Jiang Bai, but to let the top experts deal with the world-destroying disaster!
A disaster that even Jiang Bai can't handle cannot be solved by ordinary people. Top experts must be dispatched!
What's more, Jiang Bai's death itself is the most terrifying disaster!
"Okay, you go to the Governor's Mansion, and I'll go to the Yinsha Secret Tomb. See you in seven days."
After saying that, Jiang Bai slung his backpack across his body, jumped into a car, and drove towards the entrance of the Yinsha Secret Tomb.
Another car was driving slowly on the road, and the people in the car were silent.
The director pulled out a satellite phone from somewhere, pressed a few buttons, and waited quietly.
"Dudu——"
In less than 10 seconds, the call was connected.
An elegant and easy-going voice came from the other side of the phone,
"who?"
The director answered truthfully, "Me."
If it were anyone else, they might have reported their name, but no one would dare to joke casually in front of this person.
But the director has no name.
That was all he could answer.
"You're actually still alive?"
The voice was a little surprised and asked,
"If you want to ask me for anything, let's talk about it first. No need to talk about borrowing money!"
Even he was scared of this guy borrowing money!
The director organized the language, "You may need to take action once, but I'm not sure yet. I want to ask in advance, is it convenient for you to take action now?"
After speaking, the director added,
"If it's inconvenient for you, I'll ask someone else."
Judging from his tone, there are quite a few spares in his address book.
Oh, Neptune.
"Wait a minute, there's a little chaos at home..."
There was a slight explosion on the other end of the satellite phone, and it seemed like there was a fight going on.
Nangong, the co-pilot, turned his head carefully, feeling the night breeze chilling his scalp.
Oh, your scalp is gone already?
That's not cool anymore.
It's a bit of hell, put an electronic wooden fish here and knock it for +10 merit.
He asked curiously, "Director, who are you looking for?"
Previously, the director also mentioned shaking people when talking to Jiang Bai. The director made it clear that he could not shake the general.
Nangong Xingxin has heard of many legendary figures who are top men below the level of a god general. Maybe he also knows the director!
The director answered truthfully, "Emperor Kongtian."
Nangong Xin:......
One thing to say, this is indeed not a divine general.
Excuse me, take my leave, pretend I didn't ask...
He suppressed his fear, turned his head, and forced himself to immerse himself in reading, but the words in the book were crawling around like earthworms. Under the control of infinite fear, he didn't even know a single word!
The name of the Emperor of Heaven is so terrifying!
Just hearing the words "Emperor Kongtian" scared Nangong Xingxin into illiteracy!
Cheese glanced at Nangong Xin and made a disdainful sound in his nose.
Sample, if you hold the book upside down and still read it, how can you pretend to be a cultured person!
Three minutes later, the voice came again from the satellite phone,
"Okay, now it's easy to take action."
The director nodded with satisfaction, left a few words and hung up the phone without any hesitation.
Satellite calls are very expensive.
The Ninth Institute is very poor.
So, save money.
Because you want to save money, what you say should be as brief as possible.
Use the shortest sentences to accurately express what you want to express!
Just listen, the director said briefly to Emperor Kong Tian,
"Wait."
