Bionic Era

Luo Ruyan felt that she was at a disadvantage every time she met Xia Chuluo.

This passive feeling made him uncomfortable.

I ran twice with good luck, but I can't always be so lucky.

According to everyone's agreement, he came to the meeting point, where other team members were already waiting for him.

"Old Luo, why did it take so long?" Someone asked.

"Something happened, and my niece found it."

Luo Ruyan didn't say much.

He pulled out a device he carried with him, pressed a button, and caused the sub to self-destruct.

There was an explosion sound in the canal, and the water surface oscillated for a while, then calmed down again.

The submarine that had just been bought not long ago had been silent at the bottom of the canal forever, turning into a pile of scrap metal.

"Find a place with few people and burn your cars down," Luo Ruyan said.

"Old Luo, I spent a lot of money to remodel this car, so it just burned?" The strong man scratched his head, puzzled.

"It's safest to burn it." Other members of the team also thought that there might be a tracking device.

"Old Luo knows his niece best, burn it."

Luo Ruyan saw that some people were reluctant, so he comforted him: "I will pay all the expenses for you during this time, there is no need to be heartbroken, it's just a car, at worst, I will rebuild another one."

Sure enough, money is always the most important thing.

The so-called long-term friendship is worthless.

The crowd drove to a dilapidated factory building, carrying gasoline, and slowly dumped it on each car.

It was still raining heavily outside.

Tonight, many people stayed at home.

The flames and thick smoke will attract a lot of people's attention, and some idle guys might take advantage of the night to take an umbrella and come out to see what's going on.

Human nature always likes to watch the excitement.

"I'll get a timing device and ignite it after 20 minutes. This will save a lot of trouble." Someone in the team said.

"Speaking of which, Lao Luo, your niece is really amazing. How could she find where we are?"

"Dealing with this little girl...don't take it lightly."

Everyone suffered a loss and began to pay attention to Xia Chuluo.

"Fatty Jiang still needs to find a chance to settle it. With him, Xia Chuluo can lock us at any time, unless we don't have any trace of contact with the Internet."

"What are you afraid of, don't we still have glasses?" Someone patted the thin man in the team wearing thick glasses.

After setting everything up, everyone in the team took advantage of the night to leave.

This abandoned place will start burning in twenty minutes.

Dense raindrops hit the roof of the abandoned factory building.

A few ants move slowly in the grass on a rainy night.

...

Ten p.m.

The innkeeper looked at the pouring rain outside and knew that no one would come tonight.

There are only three tenants left in the lobby on the first floor. Maybe they feel that their respective rooms are too boring. They sit on the old stools in the lobby and look at the rain outside the window. He frowned and thought.

The boss was thinking about the few huge sums of money he got recently.

The sum of the money is enough for him to find a small place in this city and spend the rest of his life in peace and stability.

"When this is over, sell the hotel."

The boss felt that this matter should be over quickly.

He knew that Luo Ruyan and the team owned by Luo Ruyan were quite a powerful force, some of whom he had seen on the most wanted list in Central City.

And that little girl still feels too young.

The boss was still a little nervous, so he was waiting, waiting for the conflict between the two teams tomorrow morning, and waiting for Luo Ruyan to call and tell him that everything was settled.

"Squeak..."

The old hotel door was pushed open.

It was raining heavily outside.

Lightning flashed, and there were more than a dozen black umbrellas in full bloom outside the door.

Everyone under the umbrella looked indifferent.

Xia Chuluo was the first to walk into the hotel. She put away her black umbrella, and the rain dripped down the tip of the umbrella, hitting the lobby floor on the first floor of the hotel.

The innkeeper was taken aback, feeling a little bad in his heart.

He forced a smile and asked, "Miss Xia, haven't you all gone upstairs to rest? Why... went out again?"

He clearly remembered that no one walked out through the main entrance during this time.

In this rainy weather, it was still night, and the hotel was always cold. The tenants either sat in the lobby on the first floor to rest, or stayed in their rooms.

If anyone goes out, he's sure to notice.

Did this group of people go out through the window? The collision between the two groups is over?

"Rainy days are more romantic. It's not bad to go out and enjoy the rain scene." Xia Chuluo said lightly.

The boss looked at the group of people behind her.

Everyone was carrying more than one weapon, as well as all kinds of equipment he had never seen before. Mechanics and flesh and blood blended together, and they were full of murderous looks. They were obviously out to find trouble.

The boss is also a smart guy.

For a moment he chose between his life and the large sum of money, and quickly chose the former.

"Miss Xia, I'm also forced to do nothing. That Luo Ruyan threatened me, saying that if I don't cooperate with him, he will get rid of my wife and children."

The boss changed his mournful expression.

"I think you know how powerful Luo Ruyan and his team are, Miss Xia. I'm an ordinary person, how dare I not agree to what he said..."

The speed of this face-changing and the look of admitting mistakes made everyone amazed.

To be able to live in the central city for such a long time and still be safe and sound with all kinds of people every day, I have to say that this boss is a talent.

"I just checked, your wife died five years ago, and your son was also given away by you." Xia Chuluo looked at him calmly.

"Ah this..."

The store owner was speechless for a moment.

Family members are best used to play the emotional card. If you play well, you can win the sympathy and understanding of the other party.

But he has no family.

I thought I could fool the past, but... as expected, luck is not advisable.

"Miss Xia, this... the money you gave me before, and the money Luo Ruyan gave me, I will take it out and give it to you right away."

The boss laughed dryly, then reached out and searched under his counter for a while.

Looks like it's looking for money.

But when he was about to take the thing under the counter up, the cold muzzle was already aimed at his head.

"Put the gun on the counter and back away." Xia Chuluo's indifferent voice did not show any emotion.

The store owner was sweating profusely and his scalp was numb.

Anyone who has a gun to their head will not feel too good.

The girl in front of her had a cautiousness and calmness that didn't match her age, and she could tell at a glance that he was looking for a gun under the counter.

The plan to hijack Xia Chuluo and threaten others was shattered.

"Miss Xia, I'm really taking money." The boss hurriedly explained: "As for this gun... Living in Central City, I have to endure the security of those stupid robots every day. Without a gun to defend myself, I really can't sleep well .”

He slowly brought up the gun under the counter and placed it on the counter.

An old-fashioned revolver with six rounds in it.

Ready to fire anytime.

The other three tenants sitting in the lobby on the first floor were very silent at this moment, quietly watching what happened in front of them.

This is Central City, so it's not surprising that anything happens.

"This gun is not bad. It's a commemorative version of the last war. It's hard to get. Although the central city is dilapidated, you can still find some good things." Xia Chuluo glanced at the revolver on the table.

Duan Tiannan, a fat middle-aged guy, likes collecting revolvers very much.

There is even a gun made of pure gold in his house, but it is useless, the high temperature of the bullet will deform the gun body, so the pure gold revolver can only be seen.

"Lu Wen, take this gun and throw it back to Duan Tiannan, thanks to him this time."

Although Duan Tiannan didn't hear any news.

But judging from the meeting, he successfully killed the sniper on the opposite side, and that was enough.

"Although that guy seems unreliable, he is still very reassuring in his work."

With the gun closed, the shop owner is completely gone.

He leaned against the wall of the hall on the first floor and raised his hands, indicating that he did not do anything that would be detrimental to everyone.

"Tomorrow's meal doesn't need to be cooked too early, just the normal time." Xia Chuluo said lightly.

The boss was taken aback, this is... Are you going to kill him?

The look of ecstasy flashed in his eyes, he smiled humbly and said: "Now you have the final say on this store, I just follow your arrangement."

Xia Chu Luo didn't intend to kill him.

Although the city's mechanical deacon is stupid, it is more troublesome to be serious.

If you really want to kill someone, you should first call that person to a secluded place, deserted, and then dispose of the body, and use some method to create an alibi for yourself.

Everyone walked into the hall on the first floor, shaking the rain on the umbrellas.

In fact, everyone is already soaked, and holding an umbrella is just more ritualistic.

Just as everyone was about to go upstairs to rest, there was a knock on the door of the hotel.

"Boom boom boom..."

Standing at the door was a skinny man.

Thirty or so, with scars on his face, and metal arms on both arms, a typical reformer.

He reached out to wipe the rain from his face, and a few greasy hairs stuck to his forehead, matching the traces of the knife scar, he looked fiercer.

"The brother of our organization was killed when he was performing a mission, and his head was shot."

He walked into the store, his narrow eyes showing a cold meaning, scanning everyone.

Everyone was puzzled for a while.

Fatty Jiang came out, and tentatively said, "Should I say... I'm sorry to hear this news?"

"My brother is a sniper. According to ballistic analysis, the sniper who killed him was in the area where you were active at that time."

It was at this time.

Duan Tiannan's voice came from Xia Chuluo's earphones.

"Xiao Xia, I may have killed one more by accident just now, that guy is really unprofessional, setting up a gun in such an obvious place, he really treats everyone else as an interstellar player..."

"Do you know that I praised you for being more reliable?"
