I Have a Mansion in the Post-apocalyptic World

Chapter 1305: Before The Storm

Chapter 1305: Before The Storm


In an apartment building about one block away from the emba.s.sy.


In the dimly lit room, Hirst used his finger to slightly open the curtain.


A ray of sunlight pa.s.sed through the gap in the curtain and like a giant and visible scar, it was imprinted on his gloomy face.


This apartment originally belonged to a 30-year-old middle-aged white-collar worker who worked in an office building about four stops away from here. After he saw the apartment, Andrew invaded his consciousness with mental power, controlled and forced him to ask for vacation time from his company, and then the mercenary drove him to Lake Santa Ana and tossed him in.


Hirst saw the delegation’s convoy pa.s.s through the street not far away, and his eyes narrowed. His dark green pupils showed a dangerous color.


He heard the door closing behind him.


Sakai s.h.i.+chie changed her shoes at the entrance, tossed her backpack on the sofa, took off the digital camera around her neck, then threw it to Andrew who was resting.


“In order to protect the delegation of Xin, the Colombian Military deployed at least one battalion. In addition, the Colombian Special Forces are also involved in security work. There is a sniper squad on standby on the clock tower not far away. Another sniper squad was on the roof of the apartment building across the emba.s.sy with heavy disguise.”


Andrew opened his eyes, then opened the photo alb.u.m in the digital camera. He was quite intrigued by the photos.


As expected, with a background as an agent. Miss Sakai did indeed have her specialty in intelligence work. Especially with the help of her abilities, her ability to conduct surveillance and counter-surveillance was amplified by more than one level. She took photos of all the open and hidden posts arranged by the Columbia force with her digital camera.


“Leave me the sniper squad on the clock tower.” Garek carefully wiped the accessories of the sniper rifle and as if he was completely immersed in this boring work, he did not even stop for a second. “The position there is good. I plan to do it there.”


“I’ll be in charge of luring the army away,” Hirst had a sinister smile on his face and his facial muscles showed a twisted appearance as they moved, “It’ll be easy for me.”


“…”


Sakai was just about to say something, but Andrew was the first to speak.


“You and I will be coordinating at the ambush location,” Andrew said with a gentle smile on his old face, “If Garek succeeds, we will just mix in with the crowd. If Garek misses, you go for the final blow. At that time, I will use my mental power to help you contain the police and soldiers nearby. I believe that with your ability, it should not be difficult to escape unscathed.”


“I won’t miss,” Gerak said coldly.


“Of course I believe you,” Andrew nodded, then he said, “So I used the word ‘if’.”


“So, I’m just a backup?” Sakai frowned, obviously she felt a little dissatisfied with this arrangement.


“Of course not,” Andrew smiled, “but from an efficiency perspective, we should let the sniper go first. If one bullet can solve the problem, why waste the second one?”


Sakai reluctantly accepted the old man’s argument and she nodded in silence. She then sat down on the sofa without speaking another word.


Hirst, who was by the window, returned to the living room. He asked Andrew who had closed his eyes again.


“That’s right, by the way, what will happen to that Juan?”


He was also the president of Colombia after all.


Although the Kurofune superpowers were enough to ignore the rules in this world, this issue would undoubtedly trigger the sensitive nerves of countries around the world. It was better to not take the risk.


“Don’t worry about him. Our target is only one person and that is Zhang Yaping,” Andrew still had a smile on his face and said without even opening his eyes, “Of course, if the Colombian is in the way, it doesn’t hurt to kill him.”


On the roof of an office building hundreds of meters away.


Lilith sat on the water tank as she looked blankly at the traffic on the street, then she abruptly said to the air.


“The convoy has arrived safely to the emba.s.sy, everything is normal.”


After a while, Jiang Chen’s voice returned to her ear.


“Continue to monitor.”


“Got it.”


She jumped down from the water tank, then patted the dust on her skirt.


Just then, a raindrop fell on the tip of her nose.


Lilith raised her head slightly, looked at the gray clouds that had hidden the sunlight for some time, and touched the tip of her nose.


“Is it going to rain?”



It was the afternoon in Colombia, but still early in the morning in Xin.


In the office, Jiang Chen nodded after he had listened to Lilith’s report.


With the communication closed, he closed the holographic screen next to him.


Ayesha, who stood across from the desk, hesitated a little as she watched Jiang Chen. However, she finally asked what concerned her the most.


“Is Lilith going to be okay?”


“Don’t worry, whoever runs into her should be more worried. Compared to her safety, I have some sympathy for those who get in her path…” Jiang Chen coughed. “Well, what were we talking about earlier?”


Ayesha nodded and continued their previous topic.


“…Based on the information from Bernice, just yesterday evening, a SEAL unit set out from UA and arrived in Colombia by plane.”


“What’s the stance of Colombia?” Jiang Chen frowned.


“It’s not clear yet.” Ayesha shook her head.


After he pondered for a moment, his frown suddenly disappeared, he shook his head, then laughed.


Just now, he suddenly felt that his worries were completely unnecessary.


What if it were the disbanded Rainbow Six that got sent here? He didn’t think that a mere team of Special Forces could defeat an advanced artificial intelligence from the 22nd century.


The only thing he didn’t understand was why the UA would send a team of Special Forces to Colombia at this time.


Was it just a coincidence?


Or rather, they planned to recklessly start a war by a.s.sa.s.sinating Xin’s president…


His index finger tapped gently on the armrest of the chair as the thoughts flowed in his mind.


Splash…


Big raindrops fell down and hit the gla.s.s windows one after another. With the wind picking up, the sound of water splas.h.i.+ng against the window grew louder. The palm leaves outside the window were like a boat, floating in the raging waves.


“It’s raining,” Ayesha said softly as she watched the rain droplets start to get more concentrated on the gla.s.s window.


The sky was still clear half an hour ago, but now the sky was covered by dense clouds.


The weather in the Western Pacific always behaved like this, especially in late spring and early summer.


Jiang Chen’s gaze floated out of the window as he watched the sudden rainstorm. His tone was filled with emotion.


“Yes, it’s starting to rain.”
