Xixia dead book

Chapter 224 The Finale of Death (14)
White was startled, his body trembled slightly, he hurriedly closed the book in his hand, and looked at the person in front of him carefully again. This person was tall and thin, wearing a long black trench coat, expressionless, with a stern face showing There was a murderous look, especially those deep-set gray eyes. White didn't dare to look at the man because he had never seen such a pair of cold eyes. White avoided the man's gaze, but he couldn't avoid his question. White nodded lightly, "Why, you... What's the matter with you?"

"Are you American?" the man asked again.

White felt that although the man was asking himself, he seemed to have fully grasped his situation. White couldn't help becoming nervous, and a bad premonition rose in his heart. He nodded slightly, "Well, I... ...I am an American, come to... to study at Moscow State University..."

The man still asked blankly: "If I'm not mistaken, you still have another identity, an agent of the CIA, don't you?"

When White's identity was exposed, he was so startled that he dropped the book in his hand to the ground. His heart was beating wildly, his mind went blank, and he completely lost control of his mouth, "No, you have identified the wrong person!"

"Hmph," the man sneered, "I'm sure I won't admit my mistake, I haven't been observing you for a day or two."

White's premonition was getting worse and worse, and the thing he was afraid of finally came. Just when he was thinking wildly and at a loss, the man said again: "Come, let's get acquainted, Yuri Pavlovich Buldenko. Colonel of the KGB."

"Burtenko... Colonel?" White just wanted to escape from here and Moscow at this time.But this KGB colonel named Burdenko didn't pull out his gun and handcuffs and arrest him!Instead, he took out his ID card and waved it in front of White, then slowly sat beside White.

White was puzzled. He had been plagued by countless nightmares. In his nightmares, he always dreamed that a group of tall and burly KGB agents rushed up, threw himself to the ground, and then punched him half to death. I put on handcuffs, took me to the interrogation room, and forced myself to tell all the secrets under the strong light!Everything is the same as in the 007 movie, but right now, his identity is exposed by a KGB colonel, but there is no crowd of sweat, and no one puts handcuffs on himself. He doesn't understand what this guy named Brdenko is going to do. What?

Burtenko sat on the bench unhurriedly, lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, and then slowly said: "Don't be nervous, I didn't bring a gun or handcuffs today."

White felt that his identity had been exposed by this person, and there was no need to pretend anymore. Instead, he calmed down and asked, "Since you already know my identity, as a KGB officer, don't you need to arrest me?"

After hearing this, Buldenko laughed instead. After laughing, he explained ambiguously: "Yes, for my country, you are an enemy, and I should arrest you, but for me personally, you are not my enemy." , and even be my friend."

White still didn't understand what Bultenko meant, so he decided not to go around in circles, and asked bluntly, "Then why did you find me?"

"Because I need you to do me a favor!" Burdenko said as he snuffed out the cigarette in his hand and turned to White.

White felt that when Buldenko said this, his attitude was quite different from just now, and the atmosphere between the two had obviously eased. White adjusted his mood and asked Bourtenko, "Oh, then what can I do for you? ?”

"It's very simple, introduce me to your boss." Burdenko's words are firm and beyond doubt.

White was stunned for a moment, he heard the clues in Buldenko's words, and White asked again: "Can I think you want to serve us?"

"You can think so, but I don't think so." Burdenko said another ambiguous sentence.

"Then you mean..."

"Cooperation!" Burdenko said firmly.

"Cooperation? How to cooperate?" White was puzzled.

"I will provide you with things you are interested in, and at the same time I will develop some people within the KGB. I believe you will be interested in the goods we provide."

"How can I trust you?"

"I don't think your people are idiots. I will provide you with a few pieces of information that are not important but sufficient to prove our strength."

"Then what do you hope for?"

"Due reward."

White smiled, "Money is not a problem..."

Burdenko interrupted White and said, "Of course money is not a problem for you, and it is not a problem for us either. We need a guarantee from you!"

"Oh, it seems that you are not here for the money, at least not just for the money!"

"Of course not. We need you. I mean the guarantee from your immediate boss—that is, to help us get out of here and accept us when it is no longer convenient for us to work for you."

"Of course, I thought you would have some special request!" White felt that Burdenko's request did not seem too much.

"Please understand my condition, which contains two points, 1, I said 'we', not me alone; 2, I said 'when it is no longer convenient for us to work for you', what? Is it 'when it is no longer convenient to work for you'? This is not for you to decide, but for us to decide! How? Can you make the decision?"

White slowly understood Buldenko's conditions, "I understand what you mean, I will ask my superiors first, and I believe the above will meet your conditions."

Unexpectedly, Buldenko shook his head, "Young man, you must know that I am risking my head to see you, so you must be careful! Skip your superiors in Moscow and ask your headquarters directly Otherwise, you will lose this great opportunity."

"Why? This is against the rules!"

"I don't care what your rules are, I need to keep us safe, so if you don't want to mess things up, just do what I say."

White still couldn't understand why Brdenko would do this, "but I don't have a channel to directly contact the headquarters."

"Hmph, do I need to tell you the phone number of your headquarters?"

"Using international calls directly? It's against the rules and it's not safe."

"Remember, from 45:[-] to [-] tonight, you can find a public phone and call your headquarters directly. No one will monitor it. I will only contact you. Don't make any troubles. You also have us on your side People, once I find something wrong, I will immediately cut off contact with you."

After Buldenko gave his instructions, he stood up and quickly disappeared into the depths of the garden, leaving only White still reminiscing about the sudden incident just now.

White sat alone on the bench and thought for a long time. Suddenly, he looked around vigilantly. It was getting late and he didn't find anything suspicious. White recalled every detail of the meeting with Burdenko just now. When White Thinking of Buldenko's frightening gaze, his body trembled, "Could it be that the eyes that have been watching me in the dark are these eyes?" White seemed to understand a lot in his heart, and he might have been monitored by the KGB very early on. Yes, fortunately... fortunately it was this Buldenko, otherwise he might have become a prisoner of the KGB long ago!Thinking of this, White was afraid for a while. He didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing for him. If the above agreed to Buldenko's conditions, it would mean that his original plan to return to China was completely ruined, and he would continue to stay here , acting as their liaison; but after thinking about it for a long time, Whites still couldn't resist the temptation of making meritorious service. He thought that he had been in Moscow for two years, and he had finally achieved some results. Just being a KGB colonel was enough to excite the headquarters. What's more, Bultenko is more than one person, maybe... maybe there are some big figures behind him, thinking about it, White is full of confidence in the future.

That night, White reported to his immediate superior via international long-distance according to the time specified by Buldenko. The superior immediately instructed him to agree to all of Buldenko's requests and ordered him to stay in Moscow as Brtenko's assistant. Contacts, everything in one line.

On the second night, White conveyed the order from the headquarters according to the agreed time and place. After Buldenko listened, he just nodded blankly, then took out a large kraft paper bag and handed it to White, " I think you must be interested in what's in it."

White took a rough look. It was all about the Soviet Union's military deployment in the Far East. White nodded, "We are really interested in this."

After finishing speaking, White handed Bultenko a small envelope, "Here is three thousand dollars."

Buldenko didn't open the envelope to check it, but took the envelope and put it away, and left in a hurry.

In this way, every once in a while, Bultenko would give White a few pieces of information during the meeting, and White would give Bultenko a sum of money depending on the quality of the information. Bultenko, like the first time, never checked the envelope Just put the money in your pocket and leave.But the good times didn't last long. It didn't take long for White to lose his enthusiasm at the beginning. The main reason was that the quality of the intelligence delivered by Buldenko was becoming increasingly dissatisfied. He originally hoped that Bultenko could provide more and better information. Information, but apart from the valuable information provided by Buldenko at the beginning, most of the information provided later is basically high-end goods and has little value at all.

White decided to have a good talk with Buldenko, so White came to the Gorky Library of Moscow University at the agreed time, which was a common meeting place between him and Buldenko.

"The headquarters is very dissatisfied with the information you have provided recently." White asked Burdenko straight to the point.

"That's to be expected."

"Then why don't you provide more valuable information."

"I told you from the beginning, we are cooperating, you can't ask me too much."

"Our requirements are not high, we only need you to provide valuable information."

"I will try my best, but my situation is not very good recently." A trace of anxiety flashed in Burdenko's eyes.

It was the first time White saw Buldenko look like this, but Buldenko's uneasy eyes only existed for a moment, and then quickly disappeared, "Why, what trouble did you encounter?" White asked with concern.

Brdenko hesitated for a moment before saying, "I messed up a job, so I'm temporarily suspended."

"Suspension?" White seems to have found the reason for the decline in the quality of information provided by Bultenko. The suspension of Bultenko means that it is difficult for him to get access to valuable information for the time being, and it also means that Bultenko is of no value to them. disappointment.

Although White didn't express his disappointment on his face, Buldenko still saw through White's heart, and he sighed softly and said: "However, this is only temporary, and several of my friends are now being hurt. It won’t take long for them to get more and more valuable intelligence.”

"Your friends? Can I meet them?" White was clearly interested in Bourtenko's friends.

"Okay, no problem. However, I want to arrange it."

"Well, I'll wait for your news." White didn't expect Buldenko to agree so simply, and couldn't help feeling ecstatic in his heart.

A week passed, and Burtenko hadn't contacted White. Another week later, on the weekend night, White wanted to go to the school dance, but just as he was about to leave, he received a call from Burtenko. The code word agreed by the other party informed him that he could meet with his friends tonight.

Therefore, White drove to the Pushkin Monument on Tverskaya Street according to the location designated by Burdenko. Burdenko sat in the driver's seat, and White sat in the co-pilot's seat. Burtenko drove out of the city soon. .

"Where are we going?" White asked.

"You will know when you arrive." Bultenko kept his mouth shut.

"Is that place safe?" White couldn't help worrying in his heart.

"Very safe." Buldenko always spares words like gold.

White didn't ask any more questions. He judged that the car was driving towards the northern suburbs of Moscow. It was already dark. If he drove further north, White would not recognize him. The winding road seemed to have no end. White looked out the window and saw a It was dark, except for the dim street lamps, there was no light.

The car drove for about an hour, and when White was falling asleep, Bourtenko finally parked the car in an abandoned factory.White found that the place was far away from the road, and even the lights of the street lights were gone. White's heart couldn't help but hang up. Although he didn't know Burdenko for a long time, he had already experienced the power of Burdenko. If Jianke wants to have any plans for himself, he will definitely die!

White followed Burtenko in the dark factory area, climbed over a low wall, and they entered a yard, which seemed to be an abandoned factory building. Burtenko pushed open the creaking factory door and walked in. In the dark factory building, he clapped his hands four times. After a terrible silence, several strong flashlights pointed at White beside Brdenko. White backed away in shock and hit a section of abandoned steel pipes. On the road, the sound of steel pipes echoed in the old factory building for a long time.

A desk lamp lit up in a corner of the factory building, and White, who was still in shock, saw clearly that besides him and Bourtenko, there were three other people gathered under the lamp in the factory building. Buldenko laughed twice, and introduced to White: "This is my friend, this is Major Isakov, full of unique skills and extraordinary bravery."

"Vassily Alexievich Isakov." The tall, burly man shook hands with White, and White knew that this man had amazing strength.

"This is Captain Stenov. He's a good shot. You can call him Stechkin."

"Nikolai Dmitmievich Stenov." Stechkin also shook hands with White.

"This is Lieutenant Colonel Brenning, he is a rising star of the KGB, and he has won the trust of his superiors."

White reached out to shake hands with Brenning, but Brenning sat on the chair and didn't move, so White had to withdraw his hand in embarrassment.

"Are you a group?" White asked.

"Yes, we are considered a group, coming together for a common goal."

"Common goal?" White didn't understand what Buldenko meant.

Burtenko didn't explain, and continued: "Of course our group is not limited to the four of us, there are many members, and the four of us are core members."

"Oh, nice to meet you. I hope you all have a good time working together in the future."

In this way, White met and developed more members, but what made him a little depressed was that although these positions were not low, especially that Breining, he could get a lot of valuable information, but Buldenko Most of the information handed over to him was worthless information, but occasionally there were one or two pieces of important information.

White and Buldenko have always met at the time and place agreed in advance, and rarely meet at other times, except for special circumstances, such as meeting with several other team members last time.But on this day, Burdenko hurriedly asked to meet White, and the meeting place was at the Gorky Library of Moscow University.

White came to the library according to the temporarily agreed time. The agreed time has passed, but Buldenko has not been seen yet. White knows that Bultenko is a very punctual person, and he will not be late without special circumstances. !

White was wandering restlessly in the corridors of the library. He felt terrified. He was afraid that Brdenko would be exposed, and he would be in danger. He watched everyone who passed by him. At the end of the corridor, suddenly a strong big hand pulled him, and he looked back, it was Burtenko, "Why are you late?" White yelled angrily.

"There is a delay!"

"What else could be important?"

"Summoned by the Chairman of the KGB."
