Echoes of the Past

The armored vehicle drove on the streets of Peicheng, occasionally attracting attention, but overall it was not eye-catching, which is exactly the effect Zhuang Xuteng hoped to achieve. This classic old model was often modified after the war to serve in various projects

Vehicles, and theirs also followed the same example, spray-painted with the advertising words "Roadside Assistance". During the execution of the commission, being too ordinary or too specific are wrong choices. People will look at it at a glance and forget about it.

is the best.

But there are some things that even if you want to forget, you simply can't.

"I have never told you what happened before, mainly because I don't want you to be affected." Ge Gongdao looked outside through the narrow observation window, and his seemingly calm voice contained anger that he was trying to suppress. "Recently,

My former traitors are seeking information about us through various channels, and it seems that they may still harass you. It would be unwise and unjust to keep you in the dark at this time."

Zhuang Xuteng grunted and said: "Brother Dao, I've thought about it. In the mercenary business, we have tasks to do and can make money, and there will be people who can't get the tasks and make money. It's only a matter of time before we meet the enemy. It's just a matter of time."

There's no way to avoid it. So, I don't care if it's your trouble or mine, it's just the two of us."

"Well said! I wish I had met you earlier." Ge Gongdao sighed and said: "I once led a seven-man mercenary team, and everyone called me Brother Dao. That traitor Viper is

The third-in-command in the team, he has good marksmanship and uses a Sidewinder 45 military long gun, and is responsible for looking after our backs. The person we are going to meet this time is called Winter Wolf, nicknamed 'Ghost', and he is my deputy.

"

"The seven of us all have animal-related names or nicknames. With our excellent cooperation, we won many commissions and made a lot of money. At that time, we all agreed to save enough money to do shadow implantation together.

Use the best goods so that everyone can make progress together. Unexpectedly, Viper took advantage of everything and sold us during the commission. Two of the seven people died. The goods to be escorted were also robbed, and he also took everything

It’s all put on my head.”

"Winter Wolf used his genius judgment and believed that Viper, who was seriously injured, was a good guy, and I, who was uninjured, must be the culprit. He left with the rest of the team, leaving me alone to bear the responsibility for compensation.

Okay, I’m the captain, I’ll pay for it!”

Ge Gongdao clenched his fists, as if he wanted to crush all yesterday's enemies to death, and then let go after a while. He then said: "Later, Viper's injury healed quickly. I can't say that for everyone, at least Dong Dong.

The Wolf guy must have been able to tell that Viper was faking his injuries, and he was the biggest liar. I thought Winter Wolf would wake up and come to me, but he just parted ways with Viper, and then continued to draw a clear line with me.

I want to lead the team myself.”

"It's a pity that his level is just like that, and he is still the second in command in the new team."

Although there are not many details, the basic character relationship is already clear. "Brother Dao, if this winter wolf apologizes to you, will you forgive him?"

"If it is not related to the entrusted task, if it is not related to interests or life, then if he says sorry to me it is called an apology, otherwise it is called asking for mercy." Ge Gongdao shook his head and said: "No, he will not apologize to me.

I don’t think his behavior is called an apology either. Today’s matter is just a commissioned task and has nothing to do with my past grudges.”

"Brother Dao? Brother Dao..."

Ge Gongdao opened his big hands and rubbed his face vigorously, sighed helplessly, and then said: "Indeed, you are right, I don't need to be emotional and lie to myself here. This matter must be related to the resentment in the past,

But you don't need to make a decision for me. If you want to shoot, don't hesitate. He didn't spare me then, and he won't spare me now. Life and death are at stake. There are only enemies, no old friends."

"Then I understand." Zhuang Xuteng continued to move forward when he saw the green light at the intersection. He noticed that there were more PCPD patrol officers on both sides of the road than usual, and some trainees went out to the streets directly wearing training uniforms.

The atmosphere in the city has become very tense. At this time, you must obey the traffic rules and do not attract unnecessary attention, otherwise you will just cause trouble for yourself.

"Tell me about the situation this time, Brother Dao." Zhuang Xuteng drove very carefully and could not change lanes without turning on his lights. "Who are we dealing with? What did they do?"

"Winter Wolf's team is called 11 people. It was originally called 13 people, but two died three months ago." Brother Dao said: "They have been preparing for this operation for a long time, and the final target is the Peicheng Fair Identification Center."

Zhuang Xuteng frowned and asked, "What's so good about the appraisal center? I thought it was a bank or a casino."

"The appraisal center is responsible for storing evidence and stolen goods, and some banned contraband is also stored there, waiting to be evaluated one by one. Since many cases will drag on for several years, the value of the items stored there is definitely higher than that of banks and casinos. In addition to selling

Besides, if they light a fire and burn the evidence, someone will thank them very much for it."

"Oh, I understand. They are really brave enough."

"In addition to the identification center, two hospital warehouses, a casino and three bank branches were also attacked, and even six kidnappings occurred at the same time. This is not an ordinary boldness, it is simply going to heaven! Think about it, PCPD

We just announced that we have controlled the order in Peicheng, and this happened immediately, how can they not be angry?"

Zhuang Xuteng was a little confused and asked: "With so many things going on, how do you know that robbing the appraisal center is their core target, and how do you know for sure that it was the Winter Wolf who led the people?"

"Our mercenaries must stand in line, and the middlemen must protect themselves wisely, make full use of the intelligence network, and provide intelligence to the PCPD. Combining the different commissions from each company, it is not difficult to figure out who did what, but how did the Winter Wolf do it?

, and how to retreat after succeeding, no one knows." Ge Gongdao continued: "As before, the PCPD needs to solve the case in the shortest possible time and have an explanation to all citizens. So the Winter Wolf gang only needs to escape.

, keeping a low profile for a period of time can spend their gains this time. Besides, middlemen in other places don’t need to give the PCPD face, who doesn’t want to obtain capable subordinates?”

"In short, as long as they escape from Peicheng, they have won, and the PCPD must find a scapegoat as soon as possible."

Zhuang Xuteng fully understood that this was essentially a hide-and-seek game. The PCPD had more resources to mobilize, but their time was limited. The Winter Wolf and the others had to hide in the dark all the time, and then find opportunities to jump out of the encirclement, so that they could win.

"Tell me about your escape plan at that time?" Zhuang Xuteng said, "What do you want to do?"

"To put it simply, the stolen items are hidden in the bottom of the boat with magnetic suction. The personnel wear oxygen bottles, hide them in coffins, hide in the bottom of the dredging boat, cover it with thick sand, and then leave Peihe. If you encounter

If divers inspect it, then sink the goods into the river to ensure the safety of the people first and then come back to find it. As long as you prepare some lead powder in advance and add piles of sand, you can avoid being inspected by shadow equipment. "

"If the river is blocked and no boats are allowed to pass, wouldn't the people inside suffocate to death?"

Ge Gongdao shook his head and said: "I originally asked Winter Wolf to be responsible for the investigation. He said that the River Management Bureau has insufficient manpower all year round and is simply unable to execute all the orders of the PCPD. Ship-by-ship inspection is their upper limit, and blocking all ships is completely beyond them.

capacity. There are only two problems with this plan: PCPD will send most of its manpower to Peihe as soon as possible, or the weather will be bad and rain will cause the river water to rise. The dredger will not come out when the water in Peihe River rises. If there is

would immediately come under suspicion."

Being able to conduct such a detailed investigation ensures the credibility of the escape plan. As soon as Ge Gongdao heard that Winter Wolf was the deputy of the 11-man team, he speculated on the plan he might take based on Winter Wolf's habits, and soon he

I thought of this evacuation method that I didn't use back then.

Safe evacuation is the top priority of all operations. The plan to evacuate from the river through a sand dredger was only known to Brother Dao and Donglang at the time, and it was kept secret from other team members. Thinking of this, Ge Gongdao also hesitated. If it was true,

When they see a winter wolf in a river, the two of them think about the past and face reality. How will they feel?

"But he doesn't necessarily have to go through the river. Maybe he has a new plan in the past two years?" Brother Dao patted Zhuang Xuteng on the shoulder and said, "The most important thing for us this time is to express our stance to the PCPD, so as not to

We have become their scapegoat. Of course, we have to be careful, what if the PCPD gets mad and stabs us in the back?"

"I understand." Zhuang Xuteng nodded, drove the car around the last corner, and pointed ahead: "Brother Dao, we are here. I saw the PCPD police car."

"Pull to the other side across the road, not in front of or behind them. Put on the phone headset and let's get off the car."

Zhuang Xuteng parked the car, turned off the main steam engine, and allowed the auxiliary small steam engine to continue running to maintain the water temperature and steam pressure. He then got out of the car and walked with Ge Gongdao to the PCPD car. As he walked, he raised his right hand and made a "

OK" gesture to indicate your identity.

"Naike?"

The PCPD car door opened, and an acquaintance walked out. Zhuang Xuteng was stunned, and immediately took two steps forward, stretched out his arm, and said kindly: "Mallory? You look good! Your injuries are all healed, but they still squeezed you."

You, do I have to let you come out to work?"

"Isn't it almost the end of the year? If I work a few more days, my bonus level can be raised by one level." Mallory adjusted his belt, moved the walkie-talkie and baton to the side, and then gave Zhuang Xuteng a hug. "

I'm so happy to see you again. Why did you become a mercenary? Hey, is this the medal? You are still wearing it!"

"I heard that I am going to cooperate with the PCPD this time. Can't I get some preferential treatment by wearing it? But when I see you, I feel embarrassed to wear it. After all, you gave me this."

"Correction, the three of us gave it to you. Come on, let me introduce it to you!"
