Gunfire, Punk and Necromancer

"We're here, Viper is in the Blood Bat Gang's nightclub over there." Ge Gongdao and Zhuang Xuteng got off the car in advance, walked two intersections, and stopped far away in the corner where they could just see the door of the "Jingqing 400" nightclub. . Ge Gongdao was not blinded by the urge for revenge, at least he did not try to enter through the main entrance. "There must be a lot of Blood Bat Gang people there. We have to find a place to observe. Naike, where do you think is better?"

Zhuang Xuteng briefly looked around, pointed to the southeast and said, "Brother Dao, how about that old house that is undergoing exterior wall repairs? It has six floors, which is exactly two floors more than the nightclub, and the scaffolding is covered outside, which is very suitable for monitoring. "

"Yes, I also think it's more suitable there." Ge Gongdao patted Zhuang Xuteng on the shoulder and took the lead in walking that way.

Zhuang Xuteng grabbed Ge Gongdao, shook his head slightly, and said, "We think it's appropriate, and Viper thinks so too. Just like we figured out the environment around the laundry, Viper will do the same to his hiding place." .”

"You're right, let's change places?"

"Let me think about it..." Zhuang Xuteng looked at the low buildings and narrow streets around him, feeling like he had fallen into a trap. When he glanced at the closed doors and windows, people from the Blood Bat Gang might be hiding behind those doors and windows to observe them. "Brother Dao, give me your phone and follow me."

"Do you have a plan?"

"Yes. Although the plan is rough, it should work."

Zhuang Xuteng and Ge Gongdao came to the building where the exterior wall was being renovated. They walked into the door, looked at the old fire escape map, and went straight to the back door. Zhuang Xuteng summoned the resentful spirit at the corner, avoiding Ge Gongdao's sight, and let it move up the stairs with two mobile phones. The two of them entered through the west gate and exited through the east gate, ducking into a nearby alley.

"Five dodges from now on." Zhuang Xuteng said: "Keep your eyes open, ears up, and hide with all your strength. We have to stay away from this building and get as close to the nightclub as possible. Brother Dao, don't be too excited, the Viper may not be there. In a nightclub.”

"Maybe Lucy's information is wrong?"

"Any intelligence transmitted through the phone may have problems." Zhuang Xuteng said: "Lucy has no intelligence advantage, which means that our mobile phone is a locator, and Viper can follow it to find us. This matter cannot be explained clearly on the phone , we can only rely on ourselves to understand, and Lucy has never contacted us and we have this consideration. Viper did not dare to face off, and thought of the method of bombing the car, and he will definitely use it again. Brother Dao, where is the mobile phone? The bomb may be That's where it will go. I left my phone upstairs, and now we have to learn from Viper and use our mortal bodies to destroy the information network."

Ge Gongdao was stunned, turned to look at the building behind him, grabbed Zhuang Xuteng and said, "Did you leave your cell phone in the building? A bomb? There are still residents there!"

"Don't go back! You can't find your phone, and it's too late." Zhuang Xuteng shook his head and said, "That building is a trap. The three-dimensional parking lot to the west of it and the burger restaurant we saw on the road are very... It may also be a trap. Brother Dao, there are many new mobile phone communication base stations here, and the density is too high and unreasonable. I can only think that these are used to locate us."

Ge Gongdao frowned and looked in the direction of Zhuang Xuteng's finger. Sure enough, he found some newly built signal receiving antennas on the roof, corners and other locations. It's not that he doesn't know that mobile phones can be used to locate information, he's just used to having middlemen and intelligence officers to protect him, and there are always encrypted and secure signals available. In addition, when performing missions, he and Zhuang Xuteng mainly used vehicle-mounted radios for battlefield communications. The old military radio had frequency hopping encryption capabilities and would not reveal their location. Now that these two conveniences are not available, mobile phones alone are definitely unsafe.

"Brother Dao, Lucy's goal is to bring down the casino group and the Blood Bat Gang. Do you think you can accomplish the goal with just the strength of Lucy's mercenaries?" Zhuang Xuteng said: "Pei Cheng can do this. There are very few organizations, and the Riot Squad happens to be one of them. If Viper doesn't make a big deal out of things, how can the Riot Squad operate?"

"Wait, Naike, what do you mean..." Ge Gongdao felt his throat was a little dry, he swallowed, and then asked: "Lucy knows there will be a bomb?"

"Lucy probably doesn't know exactly what Viper will do, but she definitely makes Viper a little bit more inclined to choose more intense methods. Her problem is that she overestimates her intelligence capabilities and thinks she can protect us under any circumstances. I think she has no experience in using more than four intelligence officers, so she can be forgiven for making mistakes. And we also caused a little chaos for her..."

"What do you mean? Stop playing riddles."

"When choosing between the Blood Bat Gang and the casino group, the priority should be to kill the casino group. This is the best way to maximize profits."

Ge Gongdao nodded: "Indeed, this is the most beneficial to us."

"The Blood Bat Gang is a local gang, with the Scarlet Company behind it. If it were so easy to kill, the riot squad would have done it long ago." Zhuang Xuteng and Ge Gongdao hid in the shadows of the building, carefully staring at the side door of the nightclub. "Whether it's a car bomb or other means, it should be Lucy's plan to lead them to the casino group. Our best cooperation is to do nothing and wait until Lucy completes the layout before finding someone to inform us. And your phone call, Not only has it been exposed that we are still alive, but the main opponent has also been changed to the Blood Bat Gang."

"Did I do this? According to your theory, we always have our mobile phones with us. Viper should know that we are alive, so we are not exposed."

"The signal base stations in our area are not as dense as here. Our movement distance is not enough to leave a base station, and this movement can have many explanations, which does not mean that we are definitely alive." Zhuang Xuteng shook his head and said: "Okay, It’s already like this, and Zhongce is not helpless. Wait..."

Before he could finish his words, the loud sound of explosion came from not far away. Fire and thick smoke instantly enveloped the building where the mobile phone was located, and wall bricks and broken scaffolding continued to fall to the street. Soon, screams and cries continued to be heard, and almost naked and frightened residents ran out of the building. People around them were either watching or calling the police.

"How many deaths..." Ge Gongdao's eyes were red and he clenched his fists hard. He must have blamed himself, as his choices led to the direction things took and also brought pain to innocent residents.

"Compared with the troubles caused by the Blood Bat Gang in the past, this is nothing." Zhuang Xuteng said to Brother Dao: "These lives should be recorded on the heads of the Blood Bat Gang and the Viper. If you feel that you are also responsible, then my responsibility It will be bigger than you. You just didn’t understand what was going on here, and I obviously thought about it, but I still put my phone in that building, attracting the viper to explode there.”

"Can't... no, it's not your fault. That building is indeed the most suitable as an observation point. You made the right choice."

"I believe there must be many houses around that are also suitable as observation points, and there will be base stations on each of them, so that we can lock our position. Viper has made up his mind not to fight you head-on. All his tactics are based on That's what happened. The key now is to determine where the Viper's true location is...if he's using himself as bait, that means he's in the nightclub."

"He has always been cunning and not very courageous. He won't put himself in danger, right?"

Zhuang Xuteng shook his head and said: "I have heard you tell a lot about Viper. I feel that he is very courageous, otherwise he would not dare to betray you. The more cunning he is, the more likely he is to choose a surprising plan of action, that is, to fight with you The inherent impression of him is contrary. Moreover, since Viper knows that we are going to deal with him and have used intelligence officers, in order to fight against intelligence officers, he must consider how to allocate resources for intelligence confrontation. The more he can hide his true location , the less power he will have in other aspects of intelligence warfare - Brother Dao, do you understand now?"

"I understand now." Ge Gongdao sighed and said, "When did you figure this out?"

"After learning about Lucy and your so-called 'test' of me, I calmed down first, and then I thought about this." Zhuang Xuteng sighed lightly, stretched out his right palm towards Ge Gongdao, and said, "I think this is the only way Only by doing this can you truly calm down and act according to a better plan. Brother Dao, I set you up, I'm sorry."

Ge Gongdao held Zhuang Xuteng's hand, shook it up and down, and said, "You did nothing wrong, so I don't accept your apology. I almost let Viper scheme again, but luckily I have you this time. Naike, let's What’s next?”

"Don't do anything, just hide here and wait for the viper to act." Zhuang Xuteng leaned against the wall, sat safely on the ground, and said at the same time: "When are the two of us the scariest, of course when we can't see anyone alive, When there are no dead bodies. If my estimate is correct, the riot squad will arrive soon, and the PCPD will enter the nightclub to inquire about the situation - if Viper is inside, he should take action at that time."

Ge Gongdao scratched his head, looked at Zhuang Xuteng, and then at the back door of the nightclub in the distance. "Will he come out that door?"

"Haha, you think I can even think of this? No, no, I don't know where he came out, I just know that we should wait." Zhuang Xuteng waved his hand and said: "Brother Dao, be patient. The snake nest has not been demolished yet. Before, we didn’t take action.”

The bomb in the residential building calmed down Ge Gongdao, and he finally stopped clamoring to kill the smelly snake. The two partners sat quietly in the corner of the building, taking turns staring at the side door of the nightclub and resting. About half an hour later, the riot control squad arrived. They learned about the situation from the fire brigade and set up a cordon. This time they blocked off a very small area, excluding the area where Zhuang Xuteng was hiding.

As Zhuang Xuteng expected, PCPD quickly took over the peripheral security work. Many police officers came from the night shift, and some even worked several games on this explosive night. Many of them seemed very tired. Zhuang Xuteng and Ge Gongdao have been hiding and not causing trouble to the PCPD at all, so no one will come to trouble them.

There was a sentry post about five meters away from the two of them, where a dedicated PCPD police officer was guarding an iron sign that said "Warning Area." Every fifteen minutes, a group of three mobile posts will pass by. They will bring the latest information to the fixed posts, especially how long they will stay here and whether they have found out anything.

These words were all picked up by the four ears with enhanced hearing.

This hiding is from late night to dawn, and from early morning to noon. The fire brigade withdrew, the riot control unit withdrew, and the PCPD also removed the blockade after maintenance personnel entered the scene, but Zhuang Xuteng and the others were still hiding in place. Seeing the sun setting in the west, if the previous bomb had not brought such a huge shock to Ge Gongdao, his patience would have been exhausted along with his growling stomach.

"How long do we have to wait?" Ge Gongdao finally choked out a sentence.

"That's almost it." Zhuang Xuteng smiled, reached for his belt, and pulled out two tubes of Pupu glue from the inside. "Eat it. This stuff has a long shelf life. Although it hasn't been replaced since I bought it, it will only affect the taste and won't upset your stomach. First, let's take action."

"We can finally take action! What are we going to do?" Ge Gongdao asked.

"Find a resident and ask them to borrow a phone." Zhuang Xuteng said, "We have been hiding for almost enough time. Lucy should also want us to contact her."

"Is there no danger of leaking the location?"

"It's not that there is no risk, but it's not important anymore." Zhuang Xuteng said: "We have given Lucy another incident during the day. If she still fails to solve the problem of information security, then this operation will have to be cancelled, and we will just I can think of other ways.”

Ge Gongdao was obviously not satisfied with this answer. He bit open the package of Pupu Glue forcefully, swallowed the gummy-like instant energy bar in one gulp, and then sighed: "My mind is all messed up now. I don't know what is going on now and what will happen next. This kind of It feels so uncomfortable, completely unlike the tasks we did before.”

"It's Lucy's fault." Zhuang Xuteng said while eating: "Maybe she thinks that building these information walls will help the entire plan, or maybe she thinks that if we know more, it will affect our performance and the enemy will see the problem - in fact, she thinks Much more. If she thinks we don’t have the acting skills, she shouldn’t choose to make plans that rely on acting skills.”

"Indeed, you are on to the point." Ge Gongdao twisted his neck and moved his shoulders to gradually warm up his body. He said: "If anything like this happens again in the future, no matter how reasonable Lucy's words are, I will not be fooled again! I am a mercenary, and you are my partner. Lucy is not."

"Hehe, that's right." Zhuang Xuteng smiled. He and Ge Gongdao no longer had any grudges, and his goal was achieved. The two of them stood up to warm up together, split up to keep an eye on the left and right, and then sneaked along the wall together. Before they could find a home with a phone, a phone booth on the roadside solved their needs.

A call was made directly to Lucy's office at the music restaurant, and Zhuang Xuteng directly revealed his identity. If Viper can eavesdrop and lock on their location at this time, it means that the intelligence war has completely failed, and there is no need to continue the battle of wits and directly turn to a head-to-head confrontation.

Fortunately, the worst-case scenario did not happen, and Lucy finally regained the situation. "You two come back to the restaurant. The matter is almost settled. The snake has been beaten seven inches, and he will never be able to escape."
