The knot is still lingering

Carefully leaving the core territory of the Blood Bat Gang and hailing a taxi on the road, Zhuang Xuteng and Ge Gongdao headed towards the music restaurant. On the way, the originally silent taxi driver was aroused by the news on the radio and began to talk endlessly.

Complaining to Zhuang Xuteng about his chaotic experience that day, the two of them learned a lot about the situation.

It turns out that there were not only two bombs in the laundry last night, but four others were detonated in four other different areas of Peicheng at a later time - no one would believe that this was just a general accident caused by aging equipment. Especially

It was the news that linked these bombings to the Gardeners organization that had not been seen for a long time, reminding citizens again of the story of the TV station collapse, and a panic quickly spread.

The riot squad and PCPD had to take action and work with far more energy than usual. Even if Peicheng was turned upside down, they still had to find out the murderer and give an explanation to the people of the city. A series of search and review operations began, and the entire

The city has become panic-stricken. This taxi driver has been dealing with random traffic blockades and annoying street inspections all day long, making little money.

The car news said again that "PCPD and the riot control unit attacked separately and destroyed 20 terrorist dens in one fell swoop..." The driver didn't believe it at all. He thought that if there were so many dens in Peicheng, it only meant that the PCPD was

waste; can be in

Destroying so many dens in one day only shows that the PCPD did nothing in the past and is a big waste. If you destroy the dens, you quickly report them, thinking that this will make everyone believe in the efforts of the PCPD, which shows that the PCPD is a waste among wastes.

It's hopeless.

Zhuang Xuteng deeply agrees. He believes that the rampant gangs in Peicheng and the disasters suffered by citizens are closely related to the incompetence of the PCPD. Even the existence of mercenaries should be a shame to the PCPD. However, he has heard too many complaints like this, and he knows it very well.

Complaining could not solve the problem. So Zhuang Xuteng turned the topic to the explosion near the nightclub and learned some new information from the driver.

The riot control unit raided the Blood Bat Gang's stronghold. The two sides fought fiercely, each with casualties and injuries. The battle was extremely fierce. According to the information transmitted by the rental company's radio station, drivers and residents near the war zone even saw people flying in the sky.

To fight, the riot control team even used heavy firepower. The ghost energy bombs they fired were as big as basketballs, which were obviously at the level of energy cannons.

Zhuang Xuteng and Ge Gongdao looked at each other, and their colleagues showed shocked expressions. The two of them had been hiding and didn't hear the sound of fighting at all, and they completely missed all the excitement.

"Did the riot control unit win in the end?" Zhuang Xuteng asked.

"How do I know this? It's probably a tie again!" The taxi driver spoke very insightfully and hit the nail on the head: "They fought with the Blood Bat Gang. After the fight, the Blood Bat Gang was still there, and they were still there, so who

No one wins, no one loses, it must be considered a draw! When the restaurant arrived, the total was 27.5 euros.”

Zhuang Xuteng gave him 30 euros and treated him as a tip without any change. After they got off the car, they found that the music restaurant was loose on the outside and tight on the inside. Not only were the unemployed mercenaries who were hanging around here gone, but there were also many more pairs of people watching around.

Zhuang Xuteng looked at the surrounding buildings. Although he could not find the hidden sentry or sniper spot immediately, he clearly felt that he was being watched.

"The battle is not small." Ge Gongdao waved and greeted the mercenaries he knew around him, and then he and Zhuang Xuteng walked into the restaurant. After entering the door, the orange-haired female mercenary code-named "Hedgehog" stopped them and apologized.

While searching them.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm not suspecting you of betrayal, I just want to be on guard against the PCPD and their superiors." The hedgehog blew him a kiss while searching Zhuang Xuteng, making Zhuang Xuteng fully suspicious of her motives for groping on him. "Okay, go in.

Come on! Lucy is in the office on the second floor."

In addition to Lucy, Nightingale and Rockbird are also in the office, which is very unusual. Judging from their expressions, physical conditions, and the simple beds and tableware placed around them, it seems that the two sisters have been here for a long time.

"Just find a place to sit. I haven't asked them to clean up. You can figure it out on your own." Lucy was wearing a mask and couldn't see her expression, and she was pressing her head with a hood full of light bulbs. "It's been too much lately.

Tired, but finally a good result. Where did you two hide?"

"It's not far from the address you gave me, hidden in a corner." Zhuang Xuteng pinched his nose, controlled his expression, then removed the two sisters' clothes and sat between them. "You two are here.

How long?"

"It's been almost two weeks. We usually sleep here and can only shine by the light. We haven't seen the sun for a long time." Nightingale curled her lips and said: "Although Lucy will not touch us, but

There’s a lot of work to do, and I’m much more tired than before!”

"Okay, stop complaining, as if I'm bullying you. Now the money you earn is yours, and you can break even including implant maintenance. In addition, you have no debt and are relaxed.

This is a state of happiness that I never dared to think about before. Just stop talking nonsense!" Lucy turned to Ge Gongdao and said: "The viper has been caught and will be sent to you after a while. Just wait patiently.

!”

Gogongdao's butt suddenly bounced up as soon as it touched the sofa. He rushed to Lucy, pressed his hands on the table, and asked anxiously: "What? The viper has been caught? Who did it? How could it be done here?

Did I do it before?"

"He was surrounded by the riot squad and had to choose to surrender, and then he was captured. Both the Blood Bat Gang and the casino group suffered miserably at the hands of the riot squad, and finally chose to give up on him and retreated to their lair to lick their wounds.

This operation can be considered a success."

Ge Gongdao was not satisfied, he shook his head, and then punched Lucy on the table. "No! I want to catch Viper and make him pay for his betrayal. What does this mean now? Viper surrenders, capture

Come to me and let me punish you? I haven’t done anything yet! I haven’t done anything yet!”

"Calm down." Lucy hid back, pointed at Ge Gongdao, and signaled Zhuang Xuteng to come over and catch him. "Viper is still alive, and he didn't kill you. And he gave in, surrendered, and did not continue.

The struggle didn't give you a chance to fight, don't you blame me? Otherwise, after the viper is delivered, you can release it with your own hands, and you can chase it again for fun."

Ge Gongdao took a deep breath and said nothing more. He sat back on the sofa and closed his eyes to rest. Zhuang Xuteng stood up and walked over. He rubbed Brother Dao's hair with both hands to absorb some of his resentment. "Sister Lucy, we all feel that

Things didn't go well this time. It was very boring... Can you understand what I mean?"

"I understand that the stall I set up was too big, I was poorly prepared, and there were problems with allocating resources, which caused the entire operation to be on the verge of collapse, or to be more precise, it had collapsed. Fortunately, I received help and got back on track, and finally it didn't work.

collapse."

"Whose help?" Zhuang Xuteng asked: "Favor or business?"

"You know that person, Palovic." Lucy said: "He has connections in the riot squad and provided strong information network support at critical moments. Only then did he pull the casino group into the water and complete the most critical part of the operation.

One ring. You can ask the nightingale and the rock sparrow, they have a deep understanding of this."

The two sisters nodded, admitting that Lucy's words were correct.

"The riot control team actively cooperates? Then this matter is unlikely to be settled with money. It must be a favor." Zhuang Xuteng massaged Ge Gongdao's head and said: "Lucy, do you need the two of us to pay you back?"

This favor?"

"The favor is owed to me, and it's up to me to repay it. It wouldn't hurt to cooperate more with the riot squad. They get more funding from the city government than the PCPD. This is a good way. But Palovich hopes

Meet you two. After all, you have dealt with each other before." Lucy looked up at her watch and said, "He will escort Viper over around ten o'clock in the evening and hand over here."

"Does he know we are still alive?" Ge Gongdao suddenly raised his head and asked.

"He thinks you are still alive. I only said that you two were missing and did not disclose other information. Brother Dao, even if I am incompetent, I will not betray the personal information of the contracted mercenaries. I still have this bottom line."

Zhuang Xuteng quickly smoothed things over and said: "Okay, everyone is very tired, don't argue. All the problems come from Viper and the casino group, as well as the Blood Bat Gang who took in the traitor. Although this mission is not pleasant,

, but it didn’t disappoint, at least the Viper didn’t escape. Lucy, tell us what happened?”

"There's nothing to say, it's all just annoying stuff." Lucy shook her head and sat back in the chair, feeling as if she was paralyzed in it.

It was Nightingale who opened her mouth to explain. She stepped forward and took Ge Gongdao's arm and said: "We encountered great pressure from the information station and almost fell into the trap set by the casino group. The problems with this mission were mainly due to us.

The information ability is not as good as that of the other party, Lucy has tried her best. Nike, Brother Dao, don’t be angry."

"I'm not angry anymore, and I've never been angry with you either." Ge Gongdao gently pushed Nightingale's hand away and said, "It's not that there is no gain this time, that is, we are just mercenaries and middlemen, and we can't

Direct confrontation with an organization like the Casino Group, not to mention the Blood Bat Gang."

"Yes, I also realized this mistake." Lucy said.

Ge Gongdao stood up, patted Zhuang Xuteng on the shoulder, and then said to Lucy: "I'll go down and have something to eat. If you have anything to do, just leave it to Naike. I'll listen to his ideas for future actions. Viper will come over at ten o'clock in the evening."

?I'll wait for him down there."

From the beginning, this was not a normal mercenary commission. Gogong wanted to take revenge, and Lucy wanted to reduce the pressure from the casino group. The two things were fatefully mixed together. Previously, in the middleman war and train theft

The victories she won in other major operations made Lucy overestimate her own strength, and the strength she gained from recruiting a new group of mercenaries made her lose caution.

"Without Palovic's assistance, I might have been the one raided on the base this time." Lucy admitted to Zhuang Xuteng after leaving the Gogong Road: "Viper used the blood bat gang's manpower to avoid my surveillance and successfully arranged it.

bomb, and at the same time, he also prepared a back-up move to frame us. That guy wants to stir up a conflict between us and the casino group. This can not only kill Ge Gongdao, solve his serious problem, but also help him escape

The trouble of being pressed for information by the casino group."

Zhuang Xuteng nodded and said: "I guess he has to find a way to solve this matter. After all, he has not found out who did the theft of the treasure house car at all. The casino group cannot have infinite patience. There is always something wrong with this confusion.

On the way down."

"We want to use them, and they also want to use us. In this chaos, the Blood Bat Gang also played a big role. Later I got the news that the Blood Bat Gang wants the interests of the casino group in Peicheng. This is why they weaken the casino.

Group motivations.”

Raising his hand to rub his eyebrows, Zhuang Xuteng felt that all this was as chaotic as numbing. Multiple forces had their own purposes, all laid out at the information level. Bait, trap, cover, attack and defense, for intelligence officers, there are stages everywhere where they can exert their power. At the same time,

It is also a battlefield where the crisis is deeply embedded. Compared with them, the two field operators, myself and Brother Dao, are free. Even if they hide and sit around for a day, they can still win in the end.

After knowing the motives of each party, Zhuang Xuteng was able to quickly clear up the fog of the matter. "Sister Lucy, Viper made us conflict with the casino group. Could it be that he knew something?"

"At present, it seems that he has no evidence in his hands. It is all speculation. It is to let the casino group solve the reasons fabricated by Ge Gongdao'er for him. However, your worry is not unreasonable. I will continue to check this line." Lucy

Said: "This time, the casino group suffered serious losses, and they can no longer extend their tentacles. This is good news for us. However, their manager Theis has not been affected. On the contrary, he may be reused.

"Under the attack of the riot squad, the Blood Bat Gang killed many people, and it will die down a little bit later. However, they have the upper hand, and they should have a good chance of eating the profits left by the casino group, so the Viper will not

How much is it worth?" Lucy said: "It used to be that Viper's reputation depended on his good relationship with the casino group. Now... Viper has blocked this point. He lost the bet and became the only complete loser this time.

.”

Zhuang Xuteng nodded slowly. He also heard another meaning in Lucy's words - maybe he was overthinking it, maybe not - Lucy used the example of Viper to remind him: Don't use the resources behind you as a

As for the bet, it is difficult for a mercenary who has left out the middleman to have a good future, and there is a high probability that he will lose everything.

Of course, Zhuang Xuteng also had something to say: "Sister Lucy, this chaos also proves that intelligence warfare is difficult to control. It is better to implement it on real people and use real strength to fight. My master told us that we can hold it in our hands

Victory is victory—that’s probably what it means.”

"Yes, you have to hire soldiers to do this job. It's simply not feasible to use the intelligence officer's information for complete control. It costs a lot of money, the risk is high, the return is low, and it's easy to get stuck and not be able to get out." Lucy said obviously.

After understanding Zhuang Xuteng's words, she said: "Naike, please help me persuade Brother Dao to stop being angry. Intermediaries can also make mistakes, and I did it this time."

"I will persuade him." Seeing that his goal has been achieved, Zhuang Xuteng will definitely build a step so that everyone can get down. "I think Brother Dao feels uncomfortable because he feels that his sins have been in vain. Wait until he pinches the viper.

When you bite the snake's neck, you will forget the pain and your mood will get better, so don't worry."
