Chapter 276 The Harvest of Puji Tailai
Yang Hui and Lyle were like searching for a needle in a haystack in the desert, searching aimlessly for the whereabouts of Cagalli.
“No, Yang Hui, is this how we look?”
“Otherwise? That old bastard Uzmi just told me that it was in the desert area of North Africa and didn’t say anything else.”
“Don’t we have our own intelligence network?”
"Sigh..." It's okay not to mention it. Yang Hui gets a headache when he mentions his intelligence network, "... Our intelligence network is not perfect yet and we lack manpower. We can only disperse and focus on key targets. Cagalli...is not here Within this range."
"Are you serious?" Lyle raised his eyebrows.
Cagalli is Uzmi’s daughter, the most noble little princess in Obsidian. You tell me it’s not important?
“Who knows if this girl remembers eating or not?” Yang Hui covered his face in depression.
I thought Cagalli had been taught and educated by him since she was a child, and she would be more well-behaved when she grew up. Moreover, there was indeed a shortage of manpower at the time, and considering that Uzmi would also arrange bodyguards to keep an eye on her, she was removed from the observation group. After all, the information of the Earth United and PLANT is much more important than Cagalli, a girl who loves to play around.
Originally there were intelligence networks in South Africa and North Africa. However, a few days ago, Victoria Harbor was occupied by the ZAFT army. The ZAFT army became more and more rampant and directly defeated the Earth Army stationed in South Africa. All friendly forces evacuated. The South African Unified Institutions and local resistance groups are still resisting, and even the top leaders of the South African Unified Institutions have fled from their territory.
This kind of intelligence network was paralyzed for a while, and it was impossible to contact them at all.
This was the next problem Wang Liumei had to solve. Who knew... Before they had time to solve it, Yang Hui and Lyle came to North Africa.
"Then tell me, what should we do? We can't just keep searching like this, right? No amount of time is enough." Lyle complained.
"...Let's go to the nearest town. Food and water are also needed. By the way, we can see if we can find our own people." Yang Hui was also helpless. He could only find a place with people first to get better results. to gather information.
"That's the only way." Lyle sighed. He originally thought about following Yang Hui on the mission. Whether it was using his brain or his hands, Yang Hui would be there, which would make it much easier. But...
Oh, think about it. Not careful.
According to the satellite navigation, Yang Hui and Lyle came to the nearest town, which is a village built in the canyon - Tasier. Although the conditions are very difficult, the people here have sincere smiles on their faces. , it can be seen that they are a group of simple villagers, but... they seem to be a bit xenophobic.
"Who are you?" Before entering the village, someone pointed a gun at them. Yang Hui and Lyle were speechless again, especially Yang Hui, who scolded Cagalli in his heart for talking nonsense with her. Nothing good will happen if you have a relationship!
"We are just travelers passing by and want to replenish food and water in the town." Yang Hui explained as gently as possible.
"Traveler? A place like this?" The villagers looked at each other without putting down their guns. "Who are you kidding? This area has long been occupied by ZAFT, and our village is so remote. How could there be travelers passing by?" Are you ZAFT spies?"
"We are not ZAFT spies, we are really just passing by..." Yang Hui tried his best to stay calm, but because of the errand he had no choice but to accept, he was burned by the sun in the desert. After walking all afternoon, and being pointed at by someone with a gun, it was inevitable that I would feel a little upset.
"Nonsense! You must be ZAFT spies, get out!"
"Yes, get out! Get out of our village!"
"Oh, okay Come on, let's leave." Yang Hui didn't want to make things worse. When he checked the map before, he found that another town was not far away. It only took two hours to drive, so he simply chose to leave.
As a result, when Yang Hui and Lyle were about to get in the car, an old voice stopped them: "Please wait a moment!"
"Huh?"
"Elder?"
“The elder is here!”
“Elder, the spies who discovered ZAFT...”
"Shut up! Put away your guns! You almost hurt our most distinguished guest!" the elder scolded.
“Eh?” I don’t think the elders of such a village would know their identities.
"Who are you?" Yang Hui asked.
"Is this Mr. Yang Hui, Miss Wang Liumei's fiancé?"
"Do you know Liu Mei?" Yang Hui asked in surprise.
"Hoo hoo hoo, it is indeed you. It seems that old eyes can recognize clear people. Please follow me into the village first."
"..." Yang Hui and Lyle They looked at each other, but did not follow the elder. Everything that happened was too weird. There were only two people, no backup, and no machine with them. They didn't dare to take risks.
The elder saw the caution and worry of the two, and said to Yang Hui: "Heavenly Man."
Hearing this, Yang Hui and Lyle's expressions changed, and they quickly returned to normal. Putting all guard down, he followed the elder into the village.
They walked all the way and arrived at the elder's home. The two looked around the simple sand and mud house and found no one else hiding in the house, so they felt relieved and asked about their doubts.
"You are..." "Your Excellency Yang Hui, I am the person in charge of [Heavenly Man] in North Africa."
"Haha!?" Yang Hui and Lai Er was stunned.
“Please wait a moment.”
Immediately, the elder walked into the back room, and after a while there was a sound of rummaging through boxes and cabinets, he came out again with a special metal badge in his hand.
“This is the proof.”
The circular badge is divided into three colors. The outermost periphery is copper brown, the interior is silver, and the center is a golden [Heavenly Man] organization The symbol is based on a pair of overlapping white wings.
"Well, it is indeed the identity certificate of [Celestial Being], but you...how could..."
After confirming the identity of the other party, Yang Hui and Lyle relaxed, but their expressions were also It becomes even weirder.
"Actually, not only Lao Chan, the entire village is a member of [Heavenly Man]. Lao Chan is just the person in charge. Three years ago, the village was not here, but in the desert not far away. That year there were frequent sandstorms. , and it didn’t rain for a long time, both water and food were at their limit. If Miss Wang hadn’t arrived by chance, all of us would have been doomed.
At that time, Miss Wang not only paid high prices for us from nearby towns. We bought enough food and water and helped the whole village complete their migration, which was a great gift to us, so we wanted to repay Miss Wang, but we couldn't give anything and felt very guilty.
As a result, a child in Humayi accidentally overheard that Miss Wang was recruiting people to develop the intelligence network. The child came and told me, and then I found Miss Wang and became the person in charge of the North Africa region. "
"This..." Yang Hui and Lyle heard that they felt very stupid. They had met several people in the intelligence organization. Although they were not very professional, they were definitely young and capable. Strong young man, what on earth was Wang Liumei thinking? He actually made an old man become the head of intelligence in North Africa, and... he also kidnapped an entire village!
"Hey, Mr. Yang Hui, are you wondering why Miss Wang chose me as the person in charge?"
"...Hmm." Just this question dispelled some of Yang Hui's doubts. People who can see through his thoughts are not ordinary characters.
“You may not look old, but there is still some prestige in this area of North Africa. Unlike big cities, the villages in the desert are all connected with each other. Only by helping each other can we survive in this area. Living in the desert, Lao Chen’s connections are all over this desert area, and the young people in the village trust me as an old guy. In addition, Lao Chen never goes out to collect information in person, and age is also the best cover, so Miss Wang I was chosen as the person in charge.”
“...I understand, thank you very much for your help.”
These reasons are hard to find, but Yang Hui silently added them in his heart. There are two things, that is careful thinking and accurate judgment.
"Then let me get straight to the point, elder. The first question is, why can't I contact you?"
"The head of the ZAFT army in North Africa is Andre Butterfield, known as the [Desert Tiger]. He is a very cautious man. From the moment North Africa was occupied, he sent people everywhere in the desert. The purpose of the powerful jammer is to cut off all electronic signals. Originally, we were close to the edge of the occupied area, so the impact was not too great, but compared to what happened a few days ago, you already know."
"Victoria Harbor. Fall."
"Yes, Victoria Harbor fell, and the [Desert Tiger] also used this trend to launch an attack on the territory of the South African Unity Agency, expanded the occupied area, and then performed the same action, so Communication has been cut off. "
"I see, I understand. In this case, I will give you the latest instructions on behalf of Wang Liumei. After the execution of the final mission, the intelligence network in North Africa will stop all activities and stand by silently. ”
“But...”
"I have read the information about Andre Butterfield carefully. He is a man who cannot be underestimated. If you take any action, it will be difficult not to be discovered. And North Africa does not require our focus right now, so there is no need for you to take risks." "
"...I understand, it's just Miss Wang's kindness..."
"Elder, please don't misunderstand Liu Mei, she doesn't want you to help you. Repaying the kindness will put you in danger."
"...Okay."
"Then the second question is also the final task." Yang Hui took it out of his arms. Put a photo in front of the elder and say, "Find this person."
"Huh?" Seeing the photo, the elder's expression became strange.
"What? Have you seen her before?"
"Yes, I've seen her before. What do you want to see her for...?"
"It seems you know her. Ah."
"Yes, she is an enthusiastic and kind girl. She has provided us with a lot of help."
"What's her name? Where is she now?"
"Her name is Cagalli Yula. Now... she should be at the [Desert Dawn] station."
"[Desert] Liming]? That armed resistance organization was established by your people?" Yang Hui was stunned and asked.
"Yes...yes." The elder was ashamed, thinking that Yang Hui had said before that they should wait silently, and he had promised well. But now the armed resistance has been exposed. Isn't this a clear disobedience of orders? ?
“Pa~!”
Yang Hui slapped himself in the face, and even Lyle rolled his eyes in frustration, cursing in his heart: "That stupid girl~!!!"
