Rise of the Wasteland

Chapter 1889: Defector

Herbert wanted to run away....

When he arrived in Salt Lake City by plane, the idea began to be implemented irresistibly.

As a bureaucrat who was born in Salt Lake City, served as the Minister of Commerce in the New York Brotherhood, maintained a huge trade volume with the Aurora Legion, and has reached the ceiling of his life, Herbert's current situation is a bit bad.

About two years ago, when Herbert left Salt Lake City for New York, he was still thinking about how to better protect the interests of the Mormon Church. But he soon saw himself as a member of the fraternity as he gained more power, and then went a step further to plan for his own personal future. Net first

But all this came to an abrupt end... Herbert had to find an excuse to flee New York and come to Salt Lake City.

The biggest wedding in the wasteland will be held in Salt Lake City, and the whole city will be decorated in a gorgeous and grand atmosphere. But now Herbert did not return to Salt Lake City with glory and wealth, but he was full of anxiety and anxiety.

Driving through the streets of the city, Herbert couldn't find any familiar feeling from the past—there were too many military and police posts on the street, and they were all formed by the Enclave and the Aurora Legion, which made him very scared. He must find a safe place to hide as soon as possible.

Asking the driver to stop halfway, Herbert stopped a passerby at will and bought the other person's mobile phone at several times the price. The reactivated wireless mobile communication network in Salt Lake City has given him a lot of convenience, allowing him to easily contact a person who has made an appointment.

"Miss Dania, I'm Herbert. I just came out of the airport. I'm in Yangshuling Street. I want to meet you." Herbert dialed a number with an unfamiliar phone.

The caller was a woman who happened to be in Salt Lake City, and the other party readily agreed to Herbert's request to meet. She arrived half an hour later, and briskly walked into the private room of the restaurant that Herbert had booked on the street.

Herbert and the woman named Dania met at a trade reception of the Aurora Legion, when the other party was a reporter from the Aurora Legion. Herbert slept with this woman once, and after investigation she seemed to be a leader of the Legion "Cat's Claw".

"I'm so glad that you can accept my interview, do you mind if I record it?" Dania took out the recording pen and asked.

But Herbert refused: "No, you can't record. You can only take notes. Listen, my next conversation is very important. I have some top-secret information and want to inform the Aurora Legion. I want you to contact your superior immediately. Help me escape to Mexico, I want to see Victor Hugo."

Hearing that Herbert was going to flee, Dania had a 'surprised' expression. She quickly took out a pen and paper to write down a few key words, and then asked excitedly: "As a senior official of the New York Brotherhood in the past, you are now an important member of the Enclave government. Is this shocking news to be released?"

"Don't think I'm kidding, I'm under surveillance now. There are people from the Enclave at the airport and on the highway, I can't get out the normal way, and I don't have much time to talk to you. You do what I say, There's going to be big news."

Herbert spoke very fast, and even became more nervous as he spoke. And he knew where the source of his panic was—he couldn't survive in the Enclave.

In his former position as Minister of Trade of the New York Brotherhood, Herbert used his power to control the North American steel market. He is the largest steel sales agent within the New York Brotherhood, and tens of millions of tons of steel have brought him untold wealth.

In order to keep his own financial resources, Herbert even launched a bold and reckless reporter 'Flynn' to destroy the marriage between the Aurora Legion and the New York Brotherhood. But the development of the matter caught him off guard, and no one in North America expected...

Victor Hugo hanged Flynn.

David Lawrence forcibly merged the Brotherhood of New York and the Enclave.

In the government of New Enclave, David Lawrence vigorously punished corruption, and Herbert's status plummeted. He was very sure that David Lawrence should have known about the things he had done in the past. He lost his power like a mouse in a bellows,

Desperately wanting to find a way out.

Herbert quickly made up his mind to join the Aurora Legion in exchange for his life and his own property. In order to get a nomination certificate to make Victor Hugo value him, he secretly began to steal the secrets inside the Enclave, but he After knowing some inside stories, I was taken aback.

"Mr. Herbert, according to my investigation, your situation inside the Enclave is not very good. I can understand your desire to escape, but you must reveal something to me, otherwise how can I convince my superiors to rescue you?" you?"

Dania shook her head while talking, with an attitude of "I really want to help you, but if you don't say anything, I'm also very embarrassed".

Herbert was in a hurry. He pressed his hand on the table and looked towards Dania and said in a low voice: "I used to be the Minister of Commerce of the New York Brotherhood. Isn't this status enough for you to contact your boss to help me?"

"I'm sorry, but your current status is no longer the Enclave's Minister of Commerce. Your value has dropped and become smaller." Dania stretched out her hand with her thumb and index finger with a playful smile and made a 'zooming' motion, " You have to take a risk and say something if you want to increase your value."

Herbert was so anxious and angry that he almost wanted to walk away. But now he really can't find any better way to escape, so he can only say patiently: "Go and tell your boss that some key positions in the Mormon Church have changed.

A bishop who was in charge of security died suddenly last month, and was replaced by a guy who was very strange to me. And Bishop Adams is likely to have been evacuated, and that old fool probably doesn't know what's going on under him. I guess someone is infiltrating the Mormon church, it's so weird. "

Dania nodded knowingly, but she was still dissatisfied, and continued to ask: "The position of the Mormon Church has changed, but what does this have to do with your fleeing?"

The continuous questioning finally exhausted Herbert's patience. He thumped the table angrily and said, "If you don't understand, don't ask. This involves a very complicated power struggle. Let your boss come. I have to tell you something personally. Victor Hugo."

Herbert refused to share his most critical and valuable information, which was his trump card to save his life and please Victor Hugo. And Dania also seemed to be frightened by his sudden yelling, and quickly comforted: "Okay, okay, don't be angry, I will contact my boss immediately."

Dania took out a mobile phone, dialed in front of Herbert, and said, "It's me, I met the target. He seems to know something, I think you need to come and talk to him in person .”

Dania's phone call softened Herbert's attitude, and the latter specifically said, "Tell your boss, it's Tony Parker who is staring at me now. That kid's ability and power have been greatly improved recently, and I always feel that he The change is too strange. The Legion should pay attention to this man."

Hearing the name 'Tony Parker', Dania was a little surprised and a little surprised. She added to her boss on the phone, "The target mentioned 'Tony Parker', it seems we have found the right person."

After hanging up the phone, Dania said that her boss would be here soon, and it should be no problem to arrange the evacuation. Herbert suddenly changed his mood again, tense for a while, relaxed for a while, wringing his hands, fidgeting.

And just a few minutes later, there was a knock on the door of the private room of the bar, and Dania said with a smile: "My boss is here, and then you can talk to him in person."

Herbert stood up from his seat and walked towards the door, while arranging his clothes so that he would not be too embarrassed. When he took a few steps, the door opened and he was horrified to see Tony Parker himself standing at the door and sneering at him.

This is really hell!

Herbert suddenly became excited, and took a few steps back in fright. But Tony Parker walked in with steady steps, teasing and mocking: "Hi, Herbert, long time no see. What's your expression, you're scared when you see me?"

When Herbert stepped back, he reached for the gun at his waist, but before his hand could lift the hem of his suit, an electric shock device was pressed against the bare skin of his neck. After a few high-voltage electric shocks, he fell to the ground in convulsions, losing control of his hands and feet.

Dania came up from behind Herbert, shrugged and smiled, "I'm sorry, your subordinates are easier to bribe than I imagined. I slept with them a few times, and they reported to you as I said. In fact, I am not a member of the Aurora Legion."

Tony Parker walked up to the fallen Herbert, kicked him, shook his head and sighed: "Herbert, I really didn't expect you to betray, let alone you, a piece of trash who dared to secretly investigate me , I completely ignored you.

You almost made it, just a little bit. It's a pity you chose Dania as an intermediary, otherwise I would have no idea who was leaking? Tell me, do you have any accomplices? You know you won't be able to withstand the torture, so just say it. "

On the same day, Mr. Herbert from Enclave suffered a sudden illness after arriving in Salt Lake City and was sent to the hospital. Unfortunately, he died a few days later.
