Chapter 1068 - Bugs were going to evolve (1/2)
The meeting room was quiet.
They had only gone through half of the scheduled agenda, but the Finnish officials had already left early. Sergei, who stood up, didn’t know if he should sit or not. He eyed the assistant behind him and the latter immediately walked up to help him clean up the things on the table.
When the documents were sorted and chairs began to move, the Russian officials also began to pack up.
Even half of the expectations weren’t reached, yet the meeting was over.
Jiang Chen, who stood in front of the satellite map, put down the marker and walked toward the door. When he came, he only brought himself, so there was nothing to pack up. When he left, he called Ayesha and asked her to help arrange a dinner at the front desk.
He just wanted to have a hot dinner now. The last time he properly ate something was already twenty-four hours ago.
Last night, he was on the helicopter. After he arrived in Murmansk, the first thing he did was call Hilton to book a room. After he returned to the hotel, he didn’t even take off his clothes before he slept until the afternoon. Then Russian Security Director Barth called him to remind him about the meeting.
It was already 7 o’clock in the evening. Before the meeting, he only drank a fruit-flavored nutrient supply, and his stomach had begun to protest.
Just as he left the government building, Barth waved at him. Barth walked to him hastily, patted him on the shoulder, and grinned.
“Do you want to have a meal together? There’s a very good restaurant nearby—I’ll treat you.”
“I’ve already booked dinner at the Hilton Hotel, so let me treat you.” Jiang Chen gave Ayesha a call and asked her to speak to the front desk to change the location to the private room at the restaurant and add another serving.
“Well, then.” Since Jiang Chen was already making arrangements, Barth didn’t reject the offer. He took out a car key from his pocket. “My car?”
“Please.” Jiang Chen smiled.
Unlike Defense Minister Sergei, Barth didn’t have a driver and traveled by himself, perhaps because of a need for work. Jiang Chen didn’t know the brand of his car; it must’ve been a local brand.
Right after the car started, Barth’s expression was bitter.
“Man, you’ve caused us a big problem.”
Jiang Chen glanced at him, dissatisfied.
“Why are you like the Finns, tossing everything onto my shoulders when something goes wrong? If your Alpha Special Forces killed Carmen, then there wouldn’t be all this trouble! I heard there were 500 meters between them, and you could’ve shot him. But instead, you thought about blowing up the ammunition depot?”
Barth frowned.
“What can one person do?”
Jiang Chen sneered, leaned against the seat and closed his eyes. “You can give him a chance to evolve in the next ten years. Maybe he can turn Russia into that dead zone.”
“What now?” Bart asked.
“Wait.”
“Wait?”
“Once NATO encounters the same problem, they will naturally think of us.” Jiang Chen laughed.
“Do you think NATO can’t solve this problem? It’s just a few bugs.” Bart argued.
