Capítulo 1468: Chapter 1463: Uncle, Are You Okay?

At this moment, Yang Yi was like a blind man, yet there was only a thin paper window in front of him. As long as he pierced through it, he could see the world outside.

But Yang Yi just couldn’t pierce through that layer of paper.

The paper window was the cleaner’s interference; Yang Yi needed only to make a phone call to solve the problem, but now he had to go to great lengths just to make that call.

Yang Yi looked at the last Russian person, no, perhaps this man wasn’t Russian, but he was certainly a spy for Russia.

“Can you contact Russia?”

Yang Yi asked a very crucial question, but the man just shook his head and whispered, “No, I’m an operative, just an operative.”

Yang Yi sighed deeply.

He was only responsible for operations, following Cora Giselle’s orders to execute some special tasks, such as assassinations, sabotage, or, like now, escorting an important figure to leave, but only responsible for those.

Yang Yi waved his hand, whispering, “Let’s leave first, it’s too dangerous here. Since there’s a traitor among your people, our location has been exposed.”

The two of them swiftly left Cora Giselle’s clothing store, ignoring the stunned shop assistants, and returned to the street.

“Do you know the evacuation route? Can you disguise? Is there a secret passage? Also, what should I call you?”

Yang Yi asked several key questions, and the man escorting him replied, “There is a route, can disguise, it’s not a secret passage, you can call me Yuri.”

“Okay, Yuri, take me out of here. As long as I can make a call, I can directly convey the most crucial message to your headquarters, and I’ll handle the rest.”

Without hesitation, Yang Yi said, “There’s a secret organization called the Cleaner and another called the Grey-cloaked People. They plan to detonate a nuclear bomb in the United States, frame Russia, and then trigger a nuclear war.”

Yuri’s pace slightly faltered, then he whispered, “It doesn’t sound real, more like a madman’s ramblings, but I have to believe you, although I actually don’t.”

“You don’t want to believe it, right? Regrettably, I must tell you, not only is it true, but Russia also has nuclear bombs. Imagine, if Russia and the United States were both attacked with nuclear weapons, and a Russian nuclear submarine launched a nuclear missile, what would be the consequences?”

“You didn’t mention a nuclear submarine! And that sounds even less plausible.”

“I’m telling you this because I don’t know which of us might survive. If I die, you must be responsible for passing this message to whoever you can because it’s true. Think about it; if it’s false, at most you’ll be seen as a madman or incompetent, but if it’s true and we don’t stop it, that’s the end of the world, so think carefully.” Chapters first released on NoveI~Fire.net

“I understand, actually, even if I don’t believe it, I’ll follow your lead.”

Yang Yi glanced around and said, “Just now Cora Giselle only made one phone call, and you four were evidently gathered from different locations. Now that calls can’t go through, how do you communicate among yourselves?”

Yuri led Yang Yi to a roadside hot dog stand, the kind seen everywhere on the streets of New York, with a cart below and a canopy above.

“I’ve been selling hot dogs here for twelve years. We’re all nearby. Where do the calls go? See? As long as he hangs a small red flag at the store door, we know something’s happening, and we get there as quickly as possible.”

“Do you carry a gun when you go out every day? Aren’t you afraid of being discovered by the police?”

Yuri smiled and said, “I am, so I have to be careful and never get caught.”

Yang Yi and Yuri arrived in front of an unattended hot dog stand, then Yang Yi stopped and whispered, “A very important question: among those who died, who was responsible for signaling to gather you all?”

Yuri looked at Yang Yi and whispered, “I know what you’re worried about. Good news, the person who signaled was the one who took a bullet for you. He should be dead now.”

Yang Yi whispered, “I didn’t get a chance to thank him.”

Someone had taken a bullet for Yang Yi, but Yang Yi and Yuri left him, didn’t care for him. It’s a cruel but not saddening reality that, compared to his life, Yang Yi’s life was more important, so Yang Yi and Yuri left him without hesitation. Reality is that cruel.

Yuri continued to speak in a low voice, “I don’t know the identity of those two traitors, and they don’t know who I am, understand? We all have single-line contact with the person who gives orders. As for us three, we are isolated. The good news is they don’t know I sell hot dogs here. In fact, we didn’t even know the real boss was Cora, and the one who killed Cora often bought hot dogs from me, but I didn’t know he shared my identity, and he didn’t either, so my hot dog stand should be safe for now.”

Yang Yi relaxed and nodded, “A very old form of communication, but truly effective, very good.”

Yuri bent down and opened the cabinet door at the bottom of the hot dog cart, containing sauces, buns, and sausages for making hot dogs.

“Get inside. There’s a secret compartment with weapons underneath.”

He pulled out the board holding the raw materials, revealing a compartment, not large but enough to accommodate Yang Yi.

Yang Yi immediately crawled inside, and after Yuri closed the cabinet door, he said in a deep voice, “If I say ‘Cousin, come out,’ it means everything is over. Inside, there’s a grenade. You can choose to use the grenade to commit suicide while destroying evidence. If not, then use the gun to commit suicide. If I say ‘Uncle, are you okay?’ it means it’s safe and you can come out. Does this code work?”

“Yes, I hope you call me uncle, not cousin.”

Yuri said nothing more, and Yang Yi began to feel the vibration as he started to move.

Yang Yi remained worried because he couldn’t observe the situation outside. Yuri pushed him along for quite some time, at least half an hour, and then the vibration finally stopped. Shortly after, Yuri whispered, “Uncle, are you okay?”

Yang Yi didn’t move or make a sound, and then the cabinet door opened. Yang Yi held a grenade in one hand and a gun in the other. When the board was removed, Yang Yi saw Yuri’s face.

The reason for arranging a code was that Yuri didn’t want Yang Yi, who was too tense, to immediately shoot him in the face the moment the hot dog stand door suddenly opened.

Therefore, the code was meaningful only to Yuri; as for Yang Yi, when he crawled into the hot dog stand, he entrusted his life to Yuri. He had no choice but to trust Yuri completely.
