The strange thing was that when he tried to contact Troy using the specially dedicated phone line which could be dialed at any time twenty-four hours a day in the past, it could not be connected at all. This kind of thing had never happened before over the past twenty years. Thus, this abnormal situation caused Arlo to feel very nervous. He tried to contact Brody but could not get through to Brody’s cell phone either. He suddenly had an ominous premonition at this point. However, due to the special structural framework of the Qing Eliminating Society, he had no other subordinates in Cyprus whom he could contact directly aside from the Section Ambassador, Troy. Therefore, the best way was for him to send someone to Cyprus to inquire about the situation. The best person to go and inquire was the special envoy from the copper refinery in Turkey. After all, Turkey was very close to Cyprus, and it would not take long for a helicopter to fly there.However, Brody was one of the four g
“What did you say?!” The British Lord’s voice suddenly rose an octave as he asked incredulously, “What’s wrong with him? I asked him to carry out a mission, but he actually lost contact with you?!”Arlo hurriedly said, “British Lord, it might not be Mr. Jothurn who lost contact with us on his own initiative because… because…”The British Lord asked coldly, “What’s the reason? If you hesitate to speak again from now on, you will cut out your tongue yourself!”Arlo trembled with fear and hurriedly said, “British Lord, Troy Nimbleton, the Section Ambassador of Cyprus, cannot be contacted either. We’ve also lost contact with the alternative Section Ambassador that we placed next to him…”After saying that, Arlo continued speaking, “According to normal circumstances, both Troy and the alternative Section Ambassador have to ensure smooth communication twenty-four hours a day. This is the most basic requirement… especially for the alternative Section Ambassador who has a special contact m
The British Lord said, “Hurry up and go to Cyprus. Report to me as soon as possible if there is any situation!”“Understood!”***Half an hour later, a private jet took off from Naples Airport. Arlo set off for Cyprus with a few of his confidants, carrying aerial drones and other equipment with them.After the private jet landed, they followed the same route taken by Brody. They rented a car after they left the airport and drove toward the location of the copper mine. The entire copper mine had been surrounded by official investigators from Cyprus at this moment. They blocked the news as they urgently excavated the site. The purpose of the excavation was to uncover the number of casualties at the copper mine.However, what left the officials from Cyprus puzzled was that even after excavating the soil and building ruins at multiple points in the collapsed area and asking the relevant testing experts to conduct rapid testing on the samples excavated from multiple points, none of
It was not surprising to the command center to find human DNA in a ruin of this size, but it was a little strange to find the artillery shell from a close-defense missile in a place like this. The discovery of the artillery shell meant that this place had been attacked by close-defense missiles.Judging from the range of the close-defense missiles which was less than four kilometers, even if the close-defense missiles were not inside the copper mine, it had to be not far from the copper mine when it fired. It was incomprehensible, regardless of whether the people in the copper mine used close-defense missiles to attack others, or whether people outside used the close-defense missiles to attack the copper mine.One of the adjutants then asked, “Could the copper mine have suffered a terrorist attack?!”This idea gained the approval of most people when it was raised. Over the recent years, terrorist attacks in the Middle East had never ceased. Those extremists had also caused a commo
Since Cyprus had mobilized a large number of personnel and equipment from multiple departments to come and support the scene at the moment, there were various people from different departments integrated at the scene. The military troops responsible for keeping guard were also focused on blocking the media reporters from approaching, so they did not realize that Arlo and the others had already bypassed their defense. When Arlo quietly came to the periphery of the copper mine, he was completely shocked by the sight in front of him. He never expected that this huge copper mine which had taken decades to be completed would now be a ruin that was more than ten meters deep!A large number of excavators were excavating at different points of the ruins at this time, and there were even several drilling machines on site. These drilling machines were constantly drilling underground, trying to bring up the soil components that were hundreds of meters deep underground to see if there were any
The few staff members around the commander were horrified as soon as he said this! Arlo, who was eavesdropping outside the tent, was even more appalled!When he heard this, he connected the events that happened before and immediately guessed the general context of the entire matter. They had long suspected that there was a possibility of a spy in Cyprus, but they had initially thought that the enemy was simply eyeing this place or that the Section Ambassador was colluding with the enemy. Arlo finally realized that this place had long fallen into the complete control of the enemy! If the enemy did not have complete control over this place, how could they have secretly prepared a killer weapon such as a close-defense missile?!The enemy might even have known that Brody was coming, so they had set up a death trap for him here in advance!Arlo combined the clues of Brody’s disappearance along with the human DNA found on the artillery shells at the scene and thus deduced that Brody w
It was indeed mind-boggling to find a military base that did not belong to one’s own country in one’s own country. However, the logic behind the commander’s judgment was extremely reasonable, and the fact that the other party could obtain a heavy weapon such as the close-defense missile proved that the other party was not an ordinary person but was definitely a militant who possessed strong practical combat experience.As a place where militants used close-defense missiles to defend the copper mine, it was very likely that this was indeed a military base. Even if it was not really a military base, this place had to contain huge and unknown secrets!The commander said somewhat nervously, “No, this is a matter of great importance! I must report this matter to the President immediately!” Soon, the commander contacted the President directly. After giving the President a detailed report, he hung up the phone respectfully and then instructed the few people beside him, “Gentleman, the p
Arlo instantly made up his mind never to report the actual situation here to the British Lord! At the very least, he could not tell the British Lord that there were artillery shells and shell casings from close-defense missiles found here. He also could not let the British Lord know that there were traces of a person’s DNA found on the artillery shells from the close-defense missiles and that the DNA probably belonged to Mr. Jothurn. After all, close-defense missiles were a sensitive matter, and the discovery of shell casings within the scope of the copper mine was sufficient to prove to the British Lord that the enemy had long been secretly controlling the dead soldiers’ base under his watch. In that case, it would be a serious dereliction of duty on his part.Coincidentally, the officials from Cyprus were currently planning to conceal the news about the close-defense missiles, and they wanted to fill in the entire collapsed area. This meant that everything that had happened here
