Chapter 164 021. No news in a small country
26-year-old Barnum Zigrelin finished his day's work and took a special car back home.

He said it was home, but in fact, he was the only one in the suite in Room 67 of the Xile Four Seasons Hotel located at No. 409 Spea Avenue.

As an expatriate operator of GTB, he is very satisfied with the residence arranged for him by the Principality. Open the window, the Grand Duke's mansion, and the symbol of power of the entire Principality of Gurante - 'Sulut Palace'.

Frostplated people like white and blue, and painted the twin wombs in white, while the Principality of Gulant has worshiped the volcano that raised them since ancient times, so they painted the country's palace in passionate vermilion.

To be honest, it’s not that Barnum doesn’t love his country, but red looks more atmospheric and brighter than white. He likes it very much. When he comes home from work every day, he opens the French windows of the balcony, sits on a chair, and blows A breeze warmer than frost plating, while watching the Grand Duke's changing of the guard.

In the apartment opposite his window was a very kind-hearted man with a big beard and pale skin. He obviously had outside blood. Barnum knew that the man also liked to watch the changing of the guard, but he couldn't remember the exact time. Every few hours, it is necessary to take out the camera and telescope to observe.

This country rich in coffee and grains has the golden land endowed by the planet, and the sufficient geothermal heat allows him to enjoy hot springs, higher-power artificial suns, and delicious sucrose.

He has been on a business trip for half a year, and as long as he throws a cube of sugar into the coffee and waits for the hotel waiter to bring cod, pork stewed rice and salad, he will not miss home very much.

The hour hand of the clock cut off the past before six o'clock like a sharp sword. As usual, he sat on a chair on the balcony and began to watch the Grand Duke's changing of the guard.

However, he waited for a long time, but he still didn't see the tall and mighty guards in the past.

"It's really strange." Barnum thought suspiciously.

He glanced at the time on his watch to make sure there was nothing wrong, so he started playing on his personal terminal to check for any news.

"At the GTB summit, the diplomatic representative of Tianhuan Nation presented strong evidence again that the fact that Mingji Humanity was involved in anti-human experiments is likely to be true. Frost Plating's spokesperson said: I don't know about this... Whatever it is, big countries are throwing dirt at each other The water doesn’t last a day or two.”

"The Red Arrow Empire raised interest rates again, the exchange rate between Derby and Jialun fell below 9.8, and inflation continued. Frost Plating may adopt strict price control—crazy, if the price is locked at this time, the factory will shut down directly."

"Zhengxu's immigration qualifications have been improved again, and only 10 green cards will be issued this year... Hey, it's even more difficult."

As a graduate of a prestigious school, Barnum's ambitions are very ordinary. Since his parents died early and he was not married, he just wanted to earn enough money to leave this ghostly place of Shuangbing and live in a high-welfare country like Zhengxu.

No one likes Frost Plating. Women think it's too scary there. If they give birth to a son, they will be discriminated against. Men are so bitter that they don't even have a chance to complain.

In fact, think about it, the Principality of Gurante is not bad, but it is a colony after all, and the quality of the people varies. Barnum hopes that his children can still get better educational resources in the future. Whether they can get ahead is secondary, and it is best Have the opportunity to chase your dreams.

In that case, it is best to immigrate to Zhengxu, quiet, comfortable, and without war.

However, Barnum found that the above conditions seemed to be present in Grunt...

Could it be that he really wanted to come to the colony to settle down?

To be honest, Barnum has been here for half a year, and he has a good impression of the enthusiastic people here. As a GTB employee, his main task is to provide energy loans.

For a country like Gurante, which has no shortage of energy, the business is actually very leisurely, wandering around the streets and alleys when there is nothing to do.

After a long time, he has some feelings for this place.

Just when Barnum was full of thoughts, his colleague Zhao Sen'an called him.

"Hey, it's me."

"Hey, Barnum, did you graduate from Gemini University?" Zhao Sen'an asked curiously in a frivolous tone.

"Yes, I just graduated this year. Is there any problem?" Barnum wondered.

"Is it the Department of Economics and Management?"

"Obviously." Barnum was speechless. If he didn't study finance and come to GTB to work, where else could he go better than this?

"That's right." Zhao Sen'an said excitedly: "There is a female student in your second grade named Li Huixi, you know that?"

"I have a little impression that she looks very beautiful, with a slender waist and long legs. At our fraternity party, my friend encouraged me to invite her to dance, but she thought I came from a poor family and ignored me." Barnum said casually.

"Are you a bit impressed? I think you have a grudge!" Zhao Sen'an teased.

"I don't care about things that don't exist a long time ago. You have to be more generous." Barnum said perfunctorily, taking a sip of coffee by the way.

"Li Huixi committed a crime and went in."

"Damn!" Barnum slapped the table, and immediately asked excitedly, "What did she do to get in? She's still in the second grade. Could it be that she's involved in economic crimes?"

"It does matter, Barnum, do you know that 'Leo Ozzy meme' that's been trending recently?"

"I don't watch that kind of video." Barnum said righteously.

"You didn't watch it? Then how did you know that Li Aoz's speech was posted on the Sheqing website!" Zhao Sen'an said contemptuously: "To tell you the truth, a friend of mine who has rule three told me—— Li Huixi is Li Aoz's biological sister, so she was arrested and planned to use her to threaten Li Aoz to surrender."

"Isn't that despicable..." Barnum frowned. "Taking the family members of criminals as hostages is essentially no different from criminals."

"Li Aoz is no longer a criminal. He killed more than 100 employees who were inhumane, and was touted as a hero by people outside." Zhao Sen'an joked: "This guy has ruined the reputation of our Frost Plated people. Selling information to other countries deserves his family to be implicated."

"I didn't say that Frost Plating was right." Barnum retorted: "Although Mingji Humanism is wrong, it is also true that Li Aoz killed unarmed civilians. The Frost Plating government's experiments against humans are even more contrary Common sense."

"Someone has to be responsible, but it can't be us anyway." Zhao Sen'an smiled, and then said solemnly: "If Frost Plating is subject to international sanctions, maybe the warriors of Tianhuan will take this opportunity to start a war against us. Planning to take over the family from Frost Plating."

"Have you received Gurante? It's not bad, it's safe here."

"Yeah, ordinary people like us, let's go to the colonies and the countryside honestly. The soldiers of Tianhuan are merciless when they kill people."

Zhao Sen'an said sadly:

"My wife is still in charge of my three savings cards. We took out a loan of 300 million Derby last year. We just bought a house in the school district in Gemini City. Xiaona finally went to elementary school. If a war breaks out, missiles will hit our house , where am I going to cry..."

"No," Barnum reassured him, "The only thing that can break through the anti-aircraft firepower of the Frost Plated Capital is the nuclear bomb. If you think about it, the tens of thousands of households around you don't have school district houses, so you don't have to worry about your children getting involved."

"What you said is almost like what a person said."

At this moment, Barnum suddenly saw an eight-foot-long white cloth falling from the sky above the Sulut Palace in the distance, flowing and natural like a butterfly.

cloth?
But when he took a closer look, he found that it was not just a piece of white cloth, but a large number of flowing white stripes were falling in the air, heading straight for the Grand Duke's mansion.

"Barnum?"

"Old Zhao," Barnum wiped his forehead with cold sweat, and said in a low voice, "Let your wife stay at home first."

"what?"

The next moment, the strips of white cloth instantly turned into a human figure when they approached the ground, and the assailant in the paragliding suit directly smashed the glass of the door and window, and rushed into the Grand Duke's mansion.

boom!Da da da da da da!

All of a sudden, gunshots rang out.Explosions sounded one after another, and the originally comfortable urban area was instantly shattered. Immediately afterwards, armored vehicles of the police and the army drove onto the street. Barnum saw with his own eyes the doors and windows of the opposite apartment opened, and the bearded man who was usually kind and gentle picked up the missile launcher. , aimed at the armored vehicle on the ground, and pulled the trigger.
