Rhode Island Park Project

As the shadow controller of Colombia, it is not surprising that the Melander Foundation can obtain materials specially provided by the military, but if it were someone else, this would be an extraordinary matter.

And judging from the current situation, the other party is still willing to equip the entire team with all the equipment at the cost of blood?

She knew that some large technology companies were eyeing Rhodes Island. After seeing the city with her own eyes, she felt that those ruthless guys were right.

As for whether these guys were from those guys who had connections in Colombia, well, she didn't really care.

She only needed to know that these guys probably had no good intentions in coming to Rhodes Island, and she could let them scout the way ahead and provide cover.

She secretly helped the idiot who had somehow caused such a commotion. The only reason for her was that she hoped these guys could play their due role.

Although it is not very pleasant to get stuck into work as soon as you arrive at a place, it is a different story if you gain something special from it.

"Ma'am, your order is here."

"Thank you~"

A charming smile appeared on Holhaiya's face, and then he turned his head to look at the drone display screen which also showed a ':)' smiling face.

"..."

Holhaiya watched silently as the high-tech drone placed the mounted tray on the table in front of her. Before leaving, it raised its robotic arm in a gentlemanly manner and bowed in a formal manner.

...Let’s eat.

……

Although he encountered a small setback in the project of showcasing his personal charm, Holhaiya's work went smoothly.

She first wrapped herself around those people like a wisp of wind, and then waited until they finished their meal and left. She then gracefully finished her own lunch bit by bit, and then left the restaurant calmly as well.

Following the traces of the wind along the way, she took the somewhat familiar elevator and then arrived at the even more familiar 16th floor.

"..."

1602.

Standing next to his room, Holhaiya fell into a brief silence again.

She took out her room card and walked quietly to the door of her room. As she opened the door, she glanced at the glittering words on the card.

'Business VIP Suite'

It seemed strangely reasonable that the caravan would live next door to me...

However, this is a good thing. At least many things are much more convenient.

After closing the door, Holhaiya quickly walked to his suitcase, opened it, took out some equipment from it, looked at the layout of the room, walked to a wall, stuck the equipment on the wall, and then activated his spell.

Sound travels by vibrating air, and wind moves air.

A faint blue light flickered in the room. Holhaiya squinted his eyes slightly, put on headphones, and then heard a familiar voice.

"How's things in Toledo?"

"The protective vest is very effective. I only have some burns on my limbs. Applying medicine shouldn't affect my movements. The hotel said they can make some compensation. We discussed this with them privately, and it hasn't attracted any further attention."

"Hmph, tell him that he'd better not make such a stupid mistake again, otherwise I should consider getting rid of him first before considering solving the trouble he caused."

"Yes."

"Have you confirmed the meeting place and person for tonight?"

"It's all here. Intelligence has arrived from above. Rhodes Island does have a group of people maintaining external transportation routes through conservative territories. The equipment and technology they use are very special, and they also have some special rapid training technology.

Intelligence reports indicate that some of those individuals are from the Londinium Civilian Self-Defense Force. Just a few months ago, they were ordinary civilians, but now they've become elite operatives. No wonder those companies and even the military are willing to pay such a high price. I spent over two years there—"

"Don't use your meager resume as a joke. The intelligence reports that the Grand Duke's troops previously failed to capture Rhodes Island. Is our contact so powerful that he can secure access?"

"This is something the higher-ups are concerned about. They're spending so much money on us, so they won't skimp on other things. Pay attention this afternoon! I don't want any more trouble to affect our meeting tonight!"

"I know, Captain."

"clear--"

Hol Haiya, wearing headphones, sat on the edge of the bed, lifted up her plump long legs in black stockings, and whispered to herself:

"Access rights... this is interesting."

She didn't care how those guys related to the corporate military got these things and channels, or what price they paid, but she was very interested in this "access privilege".

"At night..."

Holhaiya took off his headphones, then stood up from the bed and walked to his suitcase.

Her custom-made coat made of the same special material, her military exoskeleton, her life support system replacement drugs and stimulants, and her staff—

Thanks to Rhodes Island's system, people are allowed to bring staffs into the city. Apart from checking the vehicles, personal belongings are not checked at all.

After all, in a city full of infected people, banning it would be useless.

The infected can use spells on their own without relying on staffs. If other people are prohibited from carrying staffs, it would be like allowing some people to carry knives and not allowing others to carry knives.

Rhode Island relies on high-intensity policing. A large proportion of the drones flying in the sky are police drones, and the cost of violent crime is also very heavy.

As for whether she would consider violating Rhode Island's laws—

After checking and debugging his equipment, Holhaiya came to the window of the hotel suite on the 16th floor with a happy smile, looking at the city outside that was full of technology and futuristic sense.

“I love this city~”

After a pause, Holhaiya remembered another thing.

Her Tin Man boss told her about another colleague here.

For the sake of agent ethics, it is actually very important for two agents to avoid meeting each other as much as possible unless necessary and not to inquire too much about each other's identity information.

This can prevent the other party from being implicated when problems arise on one side.

Therefore, apart from the contact information given to her by the Tin Man, Holhaiya actually didn't know who her other teammate here was.

But judging from the word "she" used by the tin man in his last explanation, the other party should also be a female, that's all.

Holhaiya took out a piece of ordinary-looking letter paper from the suitcase and sighed.

"In this day and age, they're still using this outdated method of transmitting information. This is truly a mission assigned by an old antique."

According to the Tin Man's instructions, she needed to write the content of the intelligence in code, then send the letter to a designated address, and she didn't have to worry about anything else.

In terms of confidentiality, it is indeed quite sufficient, but its efficiency is also quite worrying.

As for her sending the information to her unknown teammates this time, in addition to the fact that the information was indeed more important, it was also to cultivate a tacit understanding of cooperation in advance.

After painstakingly writing the letter in coded form, she put it in an envelope and gave it to the hotel's front desk to help mail it.

All that's left is to wait for the night.

Chapter 365: 'Little Mouse'

night.

"It's earlier than I thought..."

Watching from the window the large group of people leaving downstairs in a mighty manner, Holhaiya, who was also ready to go, murmured softly.

Because the group of mercenaries were very cautious and did not reveal the specific time and place of the meeting in the room, she had to keep an eye on these people for quite a while starting from noon.

As a result, she didn't even have the chance to go out and stroll around this very interesting city today.

It was past 9 o'clock in the evening when this group of people finally came down from the hotel in a grand manner, as if they were going to attend some event, and got into the car and left.

However, this was much better than what she had expected, which was that she might have to wait until late at night. The city was covered with cameras that were visible to the naked eye, and there were a large number of drones flying around overhead all day long. Not only was it difficult to avoid attention when going out late at night, but it could actually provide more cover when there were many people around.

Holhaiya simply took down the window, jumped out of the window, and hung high above the hotel where the cold wind was blowing. He simply put the window back in place, and then floated towards the direction where the vehicle left with a ray of green light.

The window opening was a bit limited, not because of her stature, but because it was a window on the upper floors of the hotel, with a safety design to prevent people from falling through, so the window had to be removed.

"Ok?"

Holhaiya, who was tracking on the rooftop, turned his attention to a certain car.

The group's convoy was in front, and this car was far behind. She had seen this car more than once before, which meant it was - following.

The corners of Holhaiya's mouth curled up in an intriguing arc.

"Someone's still watching? This is getting more and more interesting..."

Holhaiya glanced at the swarm of drones she was carefully avoiding.

It's not like they are from Rhodes Island. After all, with such a convenient thing around, it would be too embarrassing to chase them in a pitiful car.

So that means there are other forces.

Hol Haiya was more cautious and continued to track the two vehicles until he arrived at——

A nightclub.

"...So there are buildings like this in Rhodes Island?"

Holhaiya couldn't help but complain.

The building in front of her actually had a sign that indicated a high-end club, but at this late hour, with all the flashy neon lights, it looked no different from what she considered a nightclub.

However, it must be said that these people played their characters very clearly. At least if there was no in-depth investigation, a group of foreign businessmen bringing bodyguards to a high-end club to discuss business would definitely not be surprising to most people, especially in this urban area where people mainly from Longmen seem to have a particularly strong custom of discussing business in informal occasions.

Holding his staff, Holhaiya was not in a hurry.

She watched the car following the convoy slowly drive into the parking lot some distance away from that... well, high-end club, then stop, the lights go out, and Holhaiya narrowed her eyes slightly.

One minute, two minutes...

Holhaiya, who was waiting to see who this person was, suddenly realized that something was wrong.

She jumped directly from the building where she was, maintaining her stealth and moving stealthily to the side of the dark car.

"..."

no one.

Moreover, this was a taxi, the kind that she had just taken this morning, the kind that could be driven unmanned.

Could it be that the people of Rhodes Island had remotely controlled a driverless taxi to track them in order to avoid suspicion? That would be too stupid.

Horhaiya's heart moved.

She hid her staff, smiled out of habit, and tapped the car window with her fingers.

“Is this car available?”

The car window slowly rolled down, and a gentle electronic voice came from inside the car:

"This taxi is currently waiting for service. The user has temporarily left the vehicle and cannot accept additional orders. We apologize for the inconvenience. You can tell whether a taxi is available by whether the green 'No Service' sign on the front of the vehicle is lit."

"So that's it."

Holhaiya replied with a smile, but narrowed his eyes.

She had already learned all about the service content and identification methods of the unmanned taxi when she took the taxi this morning, so of course she knew it now.

But this does not affect her ability to basically confirm that there was most likely someone sitting in the car just now.

She smelled a slightly fresh vapor in the open car window...it was a trace of magic.

The person has already run away.

And I was tricked.

It is not known whether the other party discovered him in advance or was just being cautious enough.

However, when Holhaiya straightened up again from the side of the car, the smile on his face became even more intense.

It's getting more and more interesting, isn't it?

Holhaiya simply walked towards the nightclub not far away, no, a high-end club.

The option of taking the right path would not appear in front of her in her current state. After all, she looked fully armed, and it would be a blessing for a normal person not to call the police.

Coming to the side path of the high-end club, the staff floating beside Holhaiya emitted a green fluorescent light.

The spells used by the Quetzalcoatl clan to pass on memories have brought some unexpected benefits in today's information-based modern society.

Information can be transmitted and stored in magical devices, and it can also be transmitted and stored in electronic devices. After some research, it is not too difficult to make the two communicate with each other.

Of course, this is only true for the Quetzalcoatl clan, which has inherited this magic for hundreds of years.

This is largely why Holhaya is confident in operating under such a high density of drones and surveillance in Rhodes Island.
