Chapter 43
He never expected that the dignified naval officer would personally monitor every batch of wine entering the warehouse.
Even if Ling Bai could hide himself, he would not be able to escape He's sight.
Once opened, it will be exposed!
"yes!"
The colonel acted according to the order.
The top two boxes had been opened, and bottles of wine were neatly stacked.
"Open the other ones!" He said calmly.
As soon as he finished speaking, a navy man came over holding a calling phone bug.
Puff, puff —
"Didn't I say... I won't answer ordinary phone calls!" He said.
"But Major General Gion said that this matter is of great importance and I must let you know!"
"Gion?"
He sighed and picked up the phone.
"Sister He! Where are you? I can't find you anywhere!" Gion's voice was urgent.
"I'm here in the classified warehouse..."
"Where did you put the wine? There is..."
"I will personally guard it, and there will be secret sentries from all sides. There will be no problem! If you have anything to do, just tell me!" He urged.
"Sister He, Ling Bai is a Devil Fruit user. He can turn objects he touches into wine. It's useless for you to lock up the wine!"
"What!!!!"
Crane screamed.
The sound was so loud that the colonel who was about to open the last box was startled.
Everyone's eyes were now focused on Crane.
"What kind of news is this? Even the Chief of Staff He lost his composure..."
"I can't hear you. The ban on wine this time is unusual. I guess something big is involved, right?"
"The same goes for explosions during the day. In the era of great pirates, even the Navy headquarters couldn't stop..."
The marines discussed secretly.
Crane was so shocked by the sudden news that he was shaking all over!
"Such important information! Why didn't you tell me earlier!" He scolded.
"I, I haven't had time..."
"Then why are you telling me about his superb cooking skills? If you had that time, you could have mentioned his ability!" He was really angry.
It was extremely rare that she began to speak mercilessly to Gion.
"me......"
On the other end of the phone, Gion hesitated.
Perhaps even Gion couldn't figure out why she spent so much time telling the story of Ling Bai's cooking.
"You don't really fall in love with that boy, do you?" He said solemnly.
Hearing the sound, Ling Bai, who was hiding in the box, was startled.
"No, no!"
"You still say no! You're not focusing on useful information at all! Tell me, what else about him impressed you?"
Hearing the sound, the other end of the phone went silent for a moment.
Gion hesitated for a moment and whispered:
"He also plays the violin very well..."
"you!!!!!"
He felt like he was about to spit out a mouthful of old blood.
Her feet staggered, and she felt a little unsteady and dizzy.
"Counsel Crane!"
Colonel quickly went to help.
"Need not!"
Crane snapped.
He stood firm.
"Gion! Let me tell you, no matter how outstanding Ling Bai is or how he attracts you, it is Zefa who arranges it behind the scenes! You must not be fascinated by him! Starting from tomorrow, I will arrange for you to go to sea, and you will Calm down!"
"But......"
"As someone who has been through this, it's very dangerous for you to do this! I need to take a break, that's it for now!"
He hung up the phone and seemed to have grown older all of a sudden.
A man stood there.
There was silence.
Finally, she sighed and walked toward the exit with a sense of loss.
"Commander He, these wines..." the colonel said awkwardly.
"Bring it in! It'll be better if it's sealed..."
He waved his hands and left without looking back.
Chapter 56: One hundred thousand jugs of wine, hidden reward (please give me flowers!)
The colonel saluted and watched the crane leave.
He didn't open the last box.
Ling Bai hid in the box and breathed a sigh of relief.
...
The last batch of wine was successfully transported into the confidential warehouse. Ling Bai remained silent and waited patiently.
The cart continued to move forward, and after a while, it stopped again.
"Have you seen it, Commander He?" a navy man with a rough voice said.
"yes!"
"Then just leave it to us. There's too much running today and it's getting dark. We need to be more efficient!"
"Don't you need to go through machine inspection?".
"Staff He has already done a very detailed inspection. The location here is remote and there has never been any trouble. Don't worry!"
"But we'd better check the numbers..."
"Put your things here! Your escort mission is over! Go back!"
The rough man was polite, but his words could not be refused.
"Yes..." Colonel was forced to hand over the procedures.
Ling Bai could feel that the cart he was in was handed over to the next escort team.
The captain who was in charge of this batch of wine just now has been driven away.
The cart continued to move, and there were more people in sight, color, and perception.
"Is this the last batch?"
"Well, all the wine in the East Market has been put into storage!"
"Then quickly collect the 'tax' and send the things inside!"
"Okay! There are four big boxes and 480 bottles of Fenjiu in total!"
"Received! A total of 360 bottles of Fenjiu, registration completed!"
Ling Bai inside the box was stunned for a while.
Outside, the navy officers in charge of guarding the confidential warehouse began to laugh mischievously.
"Be serious! Don't laugh! Perform official duties! Everything is for justice!"
"yes!"
The laughter stopped suddenly, and everyone had a straight face.
"You must not leave me here, or I will beat them all away!"
Ling Bai thought to himself.
After all, it is a confidential warehouse, how can we let such a self-defeating person guard it!
"Just the top box, grab the other three boxes quickly! Hurry up, I'll wait for you to come out to drink!"
"Now?" someone said, "This stuff has just been put into the warehouse. If we drink it right away, wouldn't it be a little too arrogant?"
"You know what the heck, the most nervous times are the most relaxed times. Staff Officer He must be tired now. He might be sleeping soundly, so he won't have time to care about us!"
"But there are still surveillance phone bugs!"
"Don't worry, I've closed everything close to the outside, otherwise how would I collect the 'tax'!"
"Is the innermost one closed?"
"How dare I lock you up! Don't talk nonsense. I haven't been out in ten years since I was transferred to the secret warehouse. If you keep messing around, I won't be able to drink without you!"
"No, big brother! Wait for me, swish!"
"Remember to put a seal on it!"
"I'll do the work, don't worry!"
Ling Bai suddenly felt that the speed of the cart was much faster, and it was drifting with lightning all the way.
Soon, the narrow passage suddenly emptied out, revealing a huge underground room filled with all kinds of things.
"smell good!"
No need to look, no need to look, just the constant connection between him and wine, Ling Bai can feel that there are countless good wines here!
The navy who was responsible for sending him threw the last batch in the corner, turned around and closed the extremely heavy door, followed by a sound like tearing off tape, as if something was stuck on the door.
Ling Bai waited patiently for a long time until the navy officer left.
Using his fingers as swords, he poked a hole in the box.
The environment here is very dark, but fortunately he has drank the divine Bailey's wine. As the saying goes, seeing money opens his eyes, his perception is greatly enhanced, and he can see clearly.
"Lots of surveillance phone bugs, but they're all asleep!"
Ling Bai carefully scanned every corner of the large room.
It went very smoothly, which made him treat this opportunity more carefully.
"There is indeed no one, it doesn't seem like we are trying to lure you into a trap..."
Ling Bai observed for a long time.
From the perspective of sight, hearing, color, and perception, this place is empty and quiet, as if it is completely isolated from the outside world.
Finally, Ling Bai poured a little black wine on his face, and the wine solidified, forming a black mask that fit the contours of his face, hiding his face.
"The wine I just got was put to use immediately."
Ling Bai jumped out of the box and stood proudly.
Even if you are really ambushed, at least your posture should be cool!
But after waiting for a while, there was still no movement.
