Chapter 65
: Fake public and private
After getting on the truck with two cigarettes with special content, Lynn finally breathed a sigh of relief. He now began to think about how to connect with Tanze and Techimel. When he parted before, Lynn made a special contact information with them, which was to write a code on the lost and found sign at the north exit of Abuquerki Railway Station. In this way, there is no need to worry that Tanze and Techimel frequently change their temporary residences. They just need to go to the train station every morning and afternoon. When they see the code, they will wait for a meeting there at 6 o'clock that night.
When I agreed on this method, Lynn felt that his ideas were both clever and safe, and that he could minimize the chances of Tanze and Tchimele being noticed. Now it seems that it is not the case. Mr. Oppenheimer said that he would have to come back in the evening when he set off early in the morning, and there would be people on the way to take care of him throughout the journey. Even if he could find an excuse to write a code on the unlucky lost and found sign, it would be difficult to meet with his brothers at 6 o'clock in the evening and give him an opportunity in person!
what to do?
Just as Lynn was struggling with the new problem, a familiar person, the US captain with a somewhat similar face to the brother's company commander Winston, sat down beside him. Every time he saw this guy, he was all neatly handsome. Today, he was rarely wearing a shirt and trousers, his hair was combed backwards, his beard was shaved with exceptionally clean, and his folded white handkerchief was inserted in his pocket on his chest.
"Sir, it's such a coincidence that I'm going to Abu Quiki too?" I didn't see the captain when I was queuing before, and Lynn hurriedly said hello.
"Come on?" The captain curled his lips and forced a little smile.
Seeing the other party's reluctance, Lin En immediately guessed the truth. But he really didn't expect that the base would send such an intermediate officer to "care" his humble auxiliary researcher.
"Where is the jewelry store you mentioned in the city?" the captain asked straight to the point.
Before, he followed Thor Pamarot to transfer in Abuquet. Lynn and the others just walked around the train station while waiting for the train, and they didn't even see the shadow of the jewelry store. What about mother's birthday, choosing earrings was just an excuse to temporarily leave the base. But this was not a problem for Lynn. He took out the words he had originally planned to evade Oppenheim but was not useful: "It's not far from the train station, and its name is Kas...Cas...Oh...Uh, it seems to be Kass or Kassor. Anyway, I can know the way when I arrive at the train station."
More than half a month has passed since the first meeting. The captain no longer kept asking questions and asking questions like before, but said half-jokingly and half-warning: "Don't you think you can escape from here by train, right?"
"Ah?" Lin En immediately acted in a fearful and trepidated manner. He had not thought about slipping away before. He even wanted to do something immediately during the most depressing days, but just thought calmly. Escape at this stage is equivalent to alerting the enemy. If the wealthy US government takes a big relocation for security reasons, the information he had worked hard to collect in the sheep pen will be in vain!
"Just kidding!" The captain helped the already neat tie, "It shouldn't take you long to pick things!"
"It shouldn't be necessary..." At this moment, Lin En finally figured out a different meaning from the other party's demeanor and words. Today, he wanted to do business and private affairs together! It seems that this is the way to meet a lover?
I got a rough confirmation from Lynn. The captain stopped talking. When the last few people got up, the truck started rumbling. There were 24 people sitting in the huge carriage, and the location was relatively spacious. Because everyone was wearing casual clothes, it was difficult for Lynn to see at a glance which soldiers and technicians were soldiers. In such a large base, not every expert or technician had seen them.
From this atomic bomb test base to Abuquerque, Lynn was estimated to be around 150 to 200 kilometers at first. After all, the wind speed when riding a hot air balloon is not constant. This time I took the bus to actually correct it. Although I was driving in the desert, the asphalt road was relatively flat, and the eight-wheeled Dodge truck had a high chassis and was quite stable after driving. Not long after, most of the people who got up early to take a nap, closed their eyes and looked backwards through the gaps in the tarp. Lynn estimated that the speed of the truck was about 50 to 60 kilometers, and arrived in downtown Abuquerque in two and a half hours. It seemed that the straight-line distance between the two was closer to 150 kilometers.
After entering the city, the truck turned two turns and drove into a yard with walls on all sides. After getting off the bus, Lynn noticed that it was like a military supply station. Not only were other military trucks stopped, but there were also small oil depots and car repair depots. There were US soldiers guarding with guns at the door. No commander came to inform everyone when they would gather. The people who came by the truck dispersed in groups of three or three, as if a group of tourists who were purely coming for vacation.
The only exception is Lynn. The captain in casual clothes almost never leaves his way from getting off the car, or rather, Lynn had to follow him. After leaving the door, the captain reached out to wave a taxi. Unlike the taxi with a yellow top sign in Boston, the taxi here looks more like an antique private car, except for the huge "Abu Quakee - Welcome" written on the door, there is no other eye-catching sign.
The captain was obviously familiar with the city and told the driver: "First go to the flower market on Karan Street, and then to the train station."
"Are you going to buy a big handful of roses?" Lynn asked with a smile, but the captain ignored him.
As the largest city in New Mexico, the streets of Abuquerque are quite modern. The taxi drove for nearly ten minutes before reaching the so-called flower market of the captain. In midsummer, you can see many young girls in dresses walking back and forth among buckets of flowers. The flowers are so beautiful that people are more beautiful than people.
Although the captain only took less than 2 minutes from getting off the car to returning from bouquet, Lin En stayed alone in the taxi for a while. Although he didn't want to instigate the driver to leave this guy, Lin En still saw hope of transmitting information from his relaxed mentality - he spent almost three months in the "sanctuary" base and the atomic bomb test base. His "vegetarian" days were not good, and the restlessness in his heart emerged from time to time. Like the officials of the empire and the experts of the experimental base, they basically brought their families by their families. Ordinary officers like the captain could only endure loneliness like Lin En. Therefore, for such a rare opportunity as today, Lin En didn't believe that he could control himself.
After the captain got into the car, Lynn asked casually: "What time can we stay in the city?"
Looking at the bright red rose in his hand, the captain was in a good mood. He replied: "At 7 o'clock, no later than 7:30."
"Ha, then you can also enjoy a wonderful candlelight dinner!" Lynn suggested diligently.
The candlelight supper didn't seem to be in the captain's original plan. He raised his head and thought for a moment, feeling helpless: "Look again! Isn't this necessary to exercise your care obligations!"
Lynn thought about it for a while, in order not to make the other party feel that he was deliberately instigating, he said in the form of memories: "I also have a girlfriend in Argentina, an Italian immigrant, and she has very charming eyes. Whenever I get along with her, I feel very happy. We often watch movies together, have candlelight dinners and dance. You should know that the Italian girl dances great! In that aspect... it is also great!"
"Is that right?" The captain indeed let go of his guard.
Lynn began to progress gradually: "Hey, why don't we do this? Whether it's lunch or dinner, you sit with your sweetheart, and I'll eat my own at the table next to you. If you pretend not to know me, I will never leave you for more than twenty meters, so that everyone will be at ease!"
"Good idea!" The captain reached out to Lynn, "passport."
Since he didn't plan to escape from the city, Lynn didn't care about the passport issue. He simply handed over the passport and wallet to the captain: "I'll give you the money together, and I'll buy gifts later, and you'll pay for my bills for dinner or something."
The captain thought about it and pulled out four five dollars from his wallet: "For the consumption of that restaurant, a few dollars per person is enough. Also, when we go to the movie in the afternoon, you follow me and buy the ticket next to me... It is best to be separated by a seat!"
"Okay!" Lin En readily took the US dollar bill that originally belonged to him, and then asked with a smirk: "What are you going to do after watching the movie?"
"Walk around and go for a walk in the park. No matter where I go, you must not leave my sight, otherwise..." The captain intended to intimidate, but it had no effect in Lin N's eyes.
"Okay!" Lin En agreed and smiled sly, as if he was a weirdo who deliberately peeked into the intimate behavior of other couples.
After thinking for a while, the captain seemed to have this feeling. He looked at Lin En with hatred and resentment: "Tsk, have a good vacation, why are you so big a burden?"
This was not intimidating Lynn. He smiled and said, "If it weren't for me, you would have to wait for the next official vacation!"
After being seen through by the other party, the captain turned around and looked at the roses in his hand as if he was thinking about their charm.
Lin En smiled. The highest level of appetite was to arouse the other person's desire step by step, but pretend to be stupid on the most critical issue.
The taxi finally arrived at the train station. Lynn asked the driver to walk around the north exit and finally found a shop with jewelry a hundred meters away. The storefront was not very big and it was still a little different from the jewelry store that people normally understood. However, its name was exactly the beginning of a. Lynn still pretended to be surprised and shouted: "Ahh, that shop! That shop! Alas, sir, are you going to buy jewelry for your sweetheart?"
"Not interested!" said the captain lazily, he asked the driver to stop in front of the store, and then said to Lynn: "Give you five minutes, I'll be here to stare at you, don't think of any tricks!"
Chapter completed!
