一行五人搭车来到一个公园边,悄无声息地走进了公园里。
艾瑞丝指着公园对面的一幢公寓楼说道:“It's right up there.(就在上面。)”
问天看着灯光辉映的公寓楼说道:“Since it's safe here, it's easy to stand out if too many people go up;Kelly!You and iris just go up there. Call if you have any questions.(既然这里是安全的,太多人上去的话太容易引人注目。凯丽!你和艾瑞丝两个人上去就可以了,有什么问题电话联系。)”
艾瑞丝和凯丽从容不迫走向公寓,来来往往的人并不是很多。艾瑞丝在大门处输入密码,两人走了进去。到了单元门口同样也是密码进入,看得出这幢公寓楼相当安全。
乘坐电梯上到三十楼,艾瑞丝在一套公寓的智能锁上输入密码,和凯丽一齐进入了房内。
两人借着从外面射进来的灯光审视了一遍房间,又把所有的窗帘都拉上,这才把房间里的灯打开。这是一套近乎一百三十平米的三居室公寓套间,几乎是纯白色的房间有着恬淡的气息。房间布置非常简洁,最引人注目的就是挨着窗边的一张办公桌。桌上摆着一台台式电脑,旁边两个大书架上,摆满了各种各样的书籍。看得出,艾瑞丝经常在这里阅读工作。
艾瑞丝从柜子里找出一个背包,快速地收拾了两套衣服,和一些如护照、证件、银行卡一类的必需品,又从书柜里拿出两台笔记本电脑,以及一些电子监控、追踪器一类的小设备,都装在了另一个包里交给凯丽拿着;拿过一块手表戴上,然后又从抽屉里拿出一把汽车钥匙,再看了一遍房间,对着凯丽说道:“All right, let's go.(可以了,我们走。)”
两个从电梯直接落到了地下停车场,艾瑞丝按响了钥匙的电子开关,一辆越野车闪烁着灯光,却是一辆全新一代的路虎卫士。
“Get on.(上车。)”艾瑞丝坐进驾驶座,凯丽坐进了副驾座上。艾瑞丝发动汽车,缓缓地驶出了停车场。
凯丽电话通知三人走到路口边,一齐上了车。
艾瑞丝看了看手表,说道:“It's still early. We went to dinner first, and we'll familiarize you with Brasilia. We'll do it later.(现在还早,我们先去吃了晚饭,顺便带你们熟悉一下巴西利亚,等晚一点了我们再行动。)”趁着吃饭之机,艾瑞丝又在网上定好了酒店房间。
木材集团就位于巴西利亚城市左侧机翼处的一幢园林式办公楼。这里绿树成阴,环境优美,同时也显示出了地段的尊贵。
“It's the office building opposite.(就是对面的这一幢办公楼。)”艾瑞丝把越野车缓缓地停在了办公楼对面的树木下,熄了火,把布莱特换上驾驶座,然后拿过笔记本电脑,插好线路,打开了电脑。
电脑画面上显示出了一幢建筑结构分析图,艾瑞丝指着对面的办公楼,又对比着电脑画面说道:“The gate is here. It's guarded 24 hours a day. It's hard to get in!(大门在这,有保安二十四小时看守,直接很难混进去!)”
问天指着围墙的一侧问道:“What about this part of the fence?(围墙的这一带呢?)”
“There are also security patrols around the perimeter, but they are not supposed to be as tight at night. However, there are cameras inside the perimeter, so as long as people enter, they are sure to be found.(围墙这一带也都会有保安巡逻,但夜间应该不会这么严密,不过,围墙里都安装有摄像头监控,只要人一进去,肯定就会被发现。)”艾瑞丝敲击着电脑键盘,一边说道,“Let's take a look inside the office first.(我们先来看看办公室内部的情况。)”
电脑画面上显示出了办公室内部构造图,甚至显示出了办公室里的家具摆设,非常清楚详细,看得出艾瑞丝花了非常大的心思进行调查。
“Office is on the third floor, because it's not just a timber export enterprise, is a high-grade annatto export enterprise, so the boss is advocating the annatto Chinese art, decoration of furniture also is the Chinese style of annatto furniture, very the upscale atmosphere, this chair is more outstanding, will not easily change, and the U disk, I plug in the groove under the office chair on the left, it is for this position.(办公室就在三楼,因为这不单单只是一家木材出口企业,还是一家高档次的红木出口企业,所以老板很崇尚中国的红木艺术,所摆设的办公用具也都是中国款式的红木家具,非常高档大气。这张办公椅更是不同凡响,不会轻易更换。而那个U盘,我就塞在了办公椅左侧下面的凹槽里面,就是这个位置。)”艾瑞丝点了点办公椅的左下侧。
“To enter the office, not only the door, but also through five doors, and are installed with smart code locks;I have tried to crack the code, it can be done, but not all at the same time, have to come one by one, but also have to maintain ten seconds, the password will be closed again, if you want to come out, and have to re-enter the password.(要进入办公室,不算上大门,也要通过五道门,而且安装的都是智能密码锁。我尝试过密码的破译,可以做到,但不能同时全部解开,得一道一道地来,但也只得维护十秒钟,密码又会重新关上;如果要出来,又得重新输入密码才行。)”
高晓飞问道:“What if you don't close the door with a force?(那如果是用外力不让门关上呢?)”
艾瑞丝道:“That would set off an alarm, and the security system would set off an alarm if it wasn't programmed, even if it was standing in front of the door for a minute.(那就会发出警报,只要是不按程序操作,甚至是站在门前超过了一分钟,安保系统都会发出警报声。)”
布莱特道:“So if we want to get in and out, we all have to have someone at the computer who can't relax?(这么说,如果要进得去、出得来,我们都必须要有一个人守在电脑前,一刻也不能放松?)”
“Yes!(是的!)”艾瑞丝说道,“And it has to be very tight in terms of time.(而且在时间的配合上要非常地紧凑。)”
“Will the security guard be patrolling the office at night?(保安在晚上会不会上办公室巡查?)”
“Because too troublesome, plus the monitoring arrangement is very strict, basically won't go up.(因为太麻烦,再加上监控布置很严密,基本上不会上去。)”艾瑞丝摇了摇头。
问天沉思道:“As long as into the office, to get the U disk is not difficult, difficult in the time of the gap, too much trouble, a little careless, will trigger the alarm, lost, and, there is no second chance;So, in terms of time, we have to be foolproof.(只要进入到办公室,要拿到U盘就不难,难就难在时间上的差距,繁琐太多,稍有不慎,就会触发警报,前功尽弃,而且,没有第二次的机会;所以,在时间上,我们得做到万无一失。)”
凯丽思索道:“Iris is responsible for breaking the code, unlocking the door, not leaving the computer, and timing our arrival at the door.(艾瑞丝要负责破译密码,解锁开门,是不能离开电脑的,而且还要和我们到达门前的时间统一。)”
艾瑞丝道:“I'll give you a talker and a tracker, and the computer will show you where you are, and I'll break the code before you get there, and then I'll set it up at the moment you get there.(我会给你们戴上通话器和跟踪器,电脑里也会显示出你们所到达的位置,我会在你们到达之前破译密码,然后在你们到达的那一刻点开确定,这些时间都可以把握好。)”
她从电脑上调出一道虚拟门锁,对着电脑摸索了一会,画面上显示出了确认的英文字符。艾瑞丝轻轻一按确认键,电脑轻轻地响了一声,显示出了密码输入成功,门锁开启。艾瑞丝激动地小声说道:“That's great!They didn't change the code, it was the same system, so I could decode it faster!(太好了!他们并没有更换密码,还是原来的系统,这样我破译起来就会更快!)”
但只过了十秒钟,电脑上又轻轻地响了一声,显示门锁重新关闭。
艾瑞丝又把另一台笔记本电脑也打开来,设入程序系统,指着一些红点说道:“These red dots are the camera, so remember where they are;I would go into their security system and shut down the security cameras for a while, but not for too long, not more than ten minutes at most, or it would be easy for the security guards to get suspicious and take action.(这些红点就是摄像头,千万要记清楚它们的方位;我会进入他们的安保系统,暂时让监控摄像头停止工作,但不能停得太久,最多不能超过十分钟,不然的话,很容易会让保安起疑心而采取行动。)”
问天点了点头,分析道:“According to the distance to calculate, if the time cooperate well, if there is no accident, then from entering the office to the third floor to get the thumb drive, three minutes is enough;But in the middle of the accident, we can not predict, so we have to take every step, we should be very careful, there is ten minutes, should be enough.(按照距离来算,如果时间配合默契,如果不发生意外,那么从进去上到三楼办公室拿到U盘,三分钟也就足够了;但中途会不会发生意外,我们无法预知,所以,我们要走的每一步,都要非常地小心谨慎,有十分钟,应该够了。)”
艾瑞丝说道:“There is only one chance that we can successfully get the usb flash drive. There is no second chance. Once we are discovered, even if we can get out of danger, our actions will let them know that the usb flash drive is still in the office.(我们能否顺利拿到U盘,这是唯一的一次机会,没有第二次。一旦被发现,就算我们能够成功脱险,但我们的行动,也会让他们察觉到U盘还在办公室里,到时候,不管是藏在什么地方,都会被他们找出来。)”
高晓飞点了点头:“So, no success is a complete failure, no second chance to start over!(所以说,不成功就是彻底地失败了,没有第二次的机会从头再来!)”
“Old daddy! Let me get up.(老爸!让我上去。)”凯丽看着问天说。
问天点了点头:“You and xiaofei go up together, I take you to the corner behind the wall, from that side into, although it is a little far away, but can very well avoid the door security line range, I meet you at the wall, pay attention to guard.(你和晓飞一起上去,我把你们送到墙后的拐角处,从那边进去,虽然是距离远了一点,但能够很好地避开门口保安的眼线范围,我在墙边接应你们,注意警戒。)”
高晓飞和凯丽点了点头。
问天看了看艾瑞丝和布莱特说:“Brett!You pay attention to the surrounding situation, if the situation is not right, immediately implement the second plan, as soon as possible to evacuate;Iris!You are the key to the success of xiao fei and kelly.(布莱特!你注意观察周围的情况,如果情况不对,马上执行第二方案,尽快撤离;艾瑞丝!晓飞和凯丽能否顺利,你是最关键的。)”
布莱特郑重地点了点头。
“I see.(我明白。)”艾瑞丝拿出三个微型追踪器让他们放在身上,又把三个通话耳塞给他们戴上,调试好频率,说道,“All right, get ready, we'll try again when we get out of the car.(可以了,准备一下,等会出了车外,我们再试一下效果。)”
高晓飞忽然问道:“Iris! Do you have a dog in security?(艾瑞丝!保安处养狗了吗?)”
艾瑞丝摇了摇头:“No.(没养。)”
布莱特插话道:“True have also not afraid, the dog smell 欎 unable to taste, it can also call it?(真养了也不怕,那狗一闻到欎州人的味,它还能叫得出来吗?)”
“Why?(为什么?)”艾瑞丝不明所以。
凯丽忍不住一笑。
布莱特轻声笑道:“Because they like to eat dog meat.(因为他们喜欢吃狗肉。)”
“Eat dog, really?(吃狗肉,真的吗?)”艾瑞丝不置可否地耸了耸肩膀。
高晓飞正要回答,布莱特却抢过话问题道:“Iris! Would you eat dog meat?(艾瑞丝!你会吃狗肉吗?)”
“Be ignorant of.(不知道。)”艾瑞丝摇了摇头,耸了耸肩膀,“But I'm an animal lover, not a dog lover, and I think I'd be more than happy to taste the smell of dog meat if I had the chance.(但我只是动保人士,不是爱狗人士。我想,如果有机会,我还是非常乐意去品尝一下狗肉的香味。)”
“Brett! You have a look.(布莱特!你看看。)”高晓飞连忙说道,“Iris's level is much higher than yours, and her level of awareness is much higher than yours.Not as petty as you!(艾瑞丝的档次就高你一大截,觉悟也比你高得多,说出来的话就是有水平!不像你这么小家子气!)”
布莱特笑道:“I thought eating dog meat made me less afraid of dogs.(我以为吃狗肉就不会怕狗了!)”
高晓飞轻声笑道:“You don't understand. Anyone who is a thief is afraid of having a dog.Besides, we don't love dogs, we just love dog meat!(你不懂,但凡做贼的人都会害怕有狗;更何况,我们不是爱狗,只是爱狗肉而已!)”
布莱特道:“We're not thieves.(我们又不是做贼。)”
高晓飞:“To steal is to be a thief, but there are good thieves and bad thieves.(偷东西就是做贼,但有好贼和坏贼之分。)”
布莱特道:“We should not call it a thief, we should call it a grand thief, which is different from the nature of a thief.(我们不应该叫贼,应该叫侠盗,这与贼的性质不同。)”
高晓飞笑道:“Also grand theft, you mean to flaunt oneself so high?You watch too many Hollywood blockbusters!(还侠盗呢,你好意思把自己标榜得这么高啊?你是看太多好莱坞侠盗大片了!)”
问天笑道:“All right, stop jabbering and get started.(好了,别贫嘴了,开始了。)”
三人打起精神,打开车门下了车,从树木的阴影处迂回过去。
“Now debug the call effect, received please reply?(现在调试通话效果,收到请回复。)”艾瑞丝轻声呼叫。
“All going well.(一切正常。)”
“All going well.(一切正常。)”
“All going well.(一切正常。)”三人相继回复。
“All right, let's set our clocks for ten minutes.(好,我们来对表,十分钟定时。)”萧问天、高晓飞和凯丽一齐校对时间。
“Move out.(开始行动。)”
“Wait, there's a guard on patrol. Take cover.(等等,有警卫巡逻过来了,注意隐蔽。)”问天一招手,三人一齐隐蔽在树木的阴影之后。
那名警卫拿着枪从大门口沿着围墙一路走了过来,但并没有停下,应该是例行巡查,绕了一圈,返回到大门保安室了。
大家都舒了一口气。
“Reset the table.(重新对表。)”三人又重新校对时间。
“Move out.(开始行动。)”
“OK!”艾瑞丝一按下确认键,整幢办公楼内外的摄像头顿时停止了工作,画面也保持在了原定的状态。
萧问天半蹲着身子,双手互交着。凯丽一踏上他的双掌处,问天用力一撑,把她送上了围墙,又以同样的方法把高晓飞也送了上去。
“Iris! They went in.(艾瑞丝!他们进去了。)”
“I saw.(我看见了。)”艾瑞丝看着电脑上的显示回答。
高晓飞和凯丽翻下围墙,借助着树木绿化的掩护,沿着围墙迂回来到了办公楼的一楼入门处。
“The door is open. Go in.(门开了,进去吧。)”艾瑞丝及时把门打开。
“Very high-tech!(很高科技嘛!)”高晓飞忍不住轻轻赞扬了一声,和凯丽闪身进门,又轻轻地把门关上,径直登上二楼。
“嗯,仙女!那好像也有电梯。”高晓飞轻声说道。
“不能够乘电梯,容易暴露,这只是三楼,不是三十楼。”凯丽轻轻地说了一声,向楼梯一指。
“Well, what are you talking about?(嗯,你们在说什么?)”艾瑞丝只听得莫名其妙,用手按了按耳塞。
“They are speaking Chinese.(他们在说中国话。)”布莱特笑着说。
“Oh, Chinese, unbelievable!(噢,中国话,不可思议!)”艾瑞丝苦笑着摇了摇头。
高晓飞和凯丽上到了二楼,艾瑞丝又把门打开。三人配合默契,又以同样的手法,一连过了几道门,终于上到了三楼办公室门口。
“OK!”艾瑞丝一按确认键,把办公室最后的一道门也打开了。
高晓飞和凯丽闪身进去,借助着外面射进来微弱的灯光,两人环顾四周,没有发现异常情况,只见办公室非常宽大。高晓飞向前一指,凯丽走上办公桌面前,慢慢地在在办公椅上坐了下来,伸手往椅子的下面摸索。
“Found it.(找到了。)”凯丽心里一喜,低声欢呼,手上拿出来一个U盘。
“Oh yeah!(欧耶!)”高晓飞一竖大拇指。
“Oh yeah!(欧耶!)”艾瑞丝和布莱特同时低声喝彩。
“快撤。”问天轻声提醒,却不经意间又说了一句中文。
“Why?(什么?)”艾瑞丝又莫名其妙地问了一声。
“Iris! Tell you to open the door.(艾瑞丝!叫你快开门。)”高晓飞心里忍不住暗笑,心想这段时间说什么话的都有,真成了六国大封相。
“OK!”艾瑞丝又输入密码打开门锁,高晓飞和凯丽闪身出了办公室,又轻轻地把门关上。
“Iris! We're out.(艾瑞丝!我们出来了。)”凯丽和高晓飞出了一楼最后的一道门,来到了花园边的围墙下。
“I see it. Be careful.(我看到了,你们小心点。)”艾瑞丝紧紧地看着电脑屏幕上的显示。
高晓飞和凯丽来到围墙边,翻上围墙,问天在外面接应,三个人一齐回撤,回到了车上。
“Seven minutes, great!(七分钟搞定,太棒了!)”艾瑞丝忍不住赞了一声,手指一按键盘,解除了摄像头的静止状态,又恢复了工作。
凯丽把U盘拿出来,艾瑞丝接过插入电脑,点开链接一看内容,笑道:“Quite correct!(完全正确!)”
“Yeah!(耶!)”大家互相一击掌。
“That's it, Brett! Driving a car.(大功告成,布莱特!开车。)”
“Isn't this going too well? It doesn't seem very exciting!(这是不是太顺利了?好像不太刺激!)”高晓飞笑着说。
“Are you a thief?(你做贼做上瘾了?)”布莱特一边开车一边说。
“Didn't you say we weren't thieves? Why are you backtracking again?(你不是说我们不是贼吗?怎么又出尔反尔了?)”高晓飞坐在副驾座上,瞪了布莱特一眼,说道,“Can you draw the line a little?(你能不能有点底线?)”
“The rightness!Not thieves, we are rogue, rogue alliance!Oh yeah!(对对对!不是贼,我们是侠盗,是侠盗联盟!欧耶!)”布莱特一声喊,越野车呼啸着向前冲去。
车行三十分钟左右,来到了网上预订好的酒店。布莱特直接开入地下停车场,从停车场搭乘电梯上到了十八楼。艾瑞丝预订了四间房间,她和凯丽同住一间。萧问天、高晓飞和布莱特各住一间。
大家美美地洗了一个热水澡,顿觉神清气爽,一齐聚集到艾瑞丝和凯丽的房间里看资料。资料包括了大量的图片、视频以及文字记载,都是一些木材集团内部关于开发亚马逊期间,所造成的过度砍伐,以及故意纵火烧毁森林的事实,很多视频还都是通过航拍器拍摄,从高空中看火势的蔓延。
热带雨林火灾的典型特征是火焰高度不是很高,烧不到比较高的树或者冠层。不过最初火灾的小火焰会在雨林冠层打开一个很小的缺口,这个小缺口会使更多的阳光照射到雨林地面。以前燃烧过的地方留下的许多易燃物质,会成为再次发生火灾的燃烧源,随后雨林的燃烧速度更快,更大的火灾就会导致较高的树木死亡。
五个人都看得心情激荡,一齐感叹:“What a loss such a succession of fires must have caused!(这样连续的火灾,所造成的损失该有多么大啊!)”
艾瑞丝痛心疾首地说道:“Such frequent man-made fires in the amazon will lead to accelerated soil and water loss in the entire amazon basin, increase in river sediment content, increase in riverbed sedimentation, and increase in river flow, exacerbating drought and flood disasters!(亚马逊这样频繁的人为火灾,会导致整个亚马逊流域的水土加速流失,河流含沙量大增,河床淤积增多,而且河流流量变化加大,加剧旱涝灾害!)”
布莱特道:“The information, which suggests everything is criminal, could be the end of the road for the company if the Brazilian government steps up efforts to stop it.(这份资料,足以说明了一切都是在犯罪,只要巴西政府加大力度去制止,这家公司就算是走到头了。)”
高晓飞愤然道:“In China, this would be a capital offense!(要是在中国,这都是死罪!)”
艾瑞丝摇了摇头,感叹道:“In Brazil, the government has done so little to control the amazon that it has even supported illegal logging, creating a situation that is now out of control.(在巴西,政府对于亚马逊的治理非常不到位,甚至于支持非法砍伐,所以才造至了现在无可控制的局面!)”
凯丽问道:“Iris! Do you have to give this information to the Brazilian government?(艾瑞丝!那你的这份资料还要交给巴西政府吗?)”
艾瑞丝摇头道:“I will send one copy to the earth environment magazine and one copy to the international union for conservation of nature, through which I can reach an agreement with the world environmental organizations, and then they can discuss with the Brazilian government to solve the problem.(我先把资料给《地球环境》杂志社和世界自然保护联盟各发一份,通过他们跟世界环保组织达成共识,再由他们跟巴西政府去商讨解决问题。)”她把资料存入了两个文件夹,分别发送出去。
艾瑞丝看着电脑上的资料终于发送出去,长长地舒了一口大气,缓缓地仰起头来;想起了这一年多来,为了这份资料所有的付出,历尽艰辛,又连续几个月的生死奔波,被海盗劫持监禁的日子更是暗无天日,甚至于多次的死里逃生,现在终于得以完成任务,泪水顿时倾涌而出,双手捂脸,忍不住嘤嘤地哭了起来。
“Iris! You've done it wrong!(艾瑞丝!你已经做得非常好了!)”凯丽轻轻地拍了拍她的后背安慰着。
艾瑞丝抹了抹眼泪:“If I hadn't met you, I wouldn't have had a chance to live, let alone finish the job!(如果不是遇上了你们,我根本就没有活命的机会,更不要说是完成任务了!)”
“What are your plans for the future?(那你以后有什么打算?)”
艾瑞丝轻轻地感叹一声:“I returned home to resume my mission, and, once the story had spread, I could not stay in Brasilia!Just, I really loathe to part with you!(我先回国复命,而且,这件事一旦传开,我也不能在巴西利亚待下去了!只是,我真舍不得你们!)”
凯丽拉着她的手笑道:“The earth isn't very big. We'll see each other again, won't we?(地球并不是很大,我们还可以再见的,不是吗?)”
艾瑞丝问道:“What about you? Any plans?(那你们呢?有什么打算?)”
“Go home first, after all, we've been out for months!(先回家吧,毕竟我们都出来好几个月了!)”凯丽又侧头用中文问道,“老爸!晓飞!你们和我们先回一趟美国,然后我们再一起转道回中国,怎么样?”
问天和高晓飞都点了点头。
凯丽忽然又笑道:“Iris!Why don't you come with us to the United States and then back to Canada from the United States so we can stay a few more days?(艾瑞丝!不如你也和我们一起结伴先到美国,然后再从美国返回加拿大,这样我们就可以多待几天了。)”
“OK!”艾瑞丝笑着点头。
“Oh yeah!(欧耶!)”布莱特笑道,“That's great! I can show you around America for a few days.(太好了!我可以带着你们先好好地玩几天美国。)”
五个人的心中都是感慨万千,想起这段时间来在一起出生入死的情景,浴血奋战的场面历历在目,仿佛无声地在诉说着:生机是这样不可扼制,生命竟是这样顽强和珍贵,无比困厄的环境、无以想象的艰难、无与伦比的勇气,给在红尘俗世中挣扎、跌落、失意的他们以启迪、暗示和鼓舞,生命就是拼搏,就是战胜自己,锤炼自己,升华自己。(未完待续)
