Genius club

Genius Club Chapter 36: Four sides surround and kill Kevin Walker! (1/6)

"Lin Xian, what are you doing in there? Why don't you come out yet?"

In the courtyard of the villa, Yu Xi had already driven out the hard-core off-road vehicle from the garage and was waiting for Lin Xian to get in the car.

But after honking the horn several times, Lin Xian still didn't come out of the house.

have no choice.

Yu Xi had no choice but to jump out of the car again and go to the bedroom to find Lin Xian:

"What's wrong? Why are you in a daze at this time."

"Angelica responded to my text."

Lin Xian held the phone in front of Yu Xi's eyes and showed her the message he had just received.

It was sent from Angelica’s mobile phone number——

[Mississippi, suburban Vicksburg, No. 217 Leeson Road, former site of Pent Middle School. This is Kevin Walker's address. Go there as soon as possible and don't contact me again. 】

Yu Xi blinked:

"This is……"

She tilted her head, and her ponytail, which was as short as a hamster, trembled:

"Kevin Walker? Do you have any grudge against him?"

"have."

Lin Xian replied calmly:

"More than that, it's simply a deep hatred."

He suddenly reacted and looked at Yu Xi:

"Have you never heard of that name?"

Yu Xi shook her head:

"I have seen in the news that the whole world is looking for him, and many countries have issued wanted orders. But...it seems that the question you asked me does not refer to this time and space, this understanding, right?"

"If it refers to my time, I have never heard of this name, and I don't know such a person."

Lin Xian didn't speak.

He continued to stare at the text message from Angelica and think about it.

"Did you ask Angelica to specifically inquire about this information?" Yu Xi saw Lin Xian's silence and continued to ask:

"Did you arrange for Angelica to ask Jask about information about Kevin Walker?"

"No."

But after saying that, Lin Xian shook his head again:

"It can't be said accurately. Although Angelica took the risk to find Jask this time, she didn't go to get information for me... She did it for herself and to avenge her dead brother, so she wanted to start from Go to Jask and ask for some information about the Genius Club and Copernicus.”

"But getting information depends on luck. Jask is not a Tmall elf who asks and answers questions. I did give Angelica a piece of paper with keywords written on it, and it did say By Kevin Walker's name."

"So it cannot be ruled out that Jask really chatted about Kevin Walker with the female secretary...that is, the fake female secretary played by Angelica, and then told her Kevin Walker's address."

"So." Yu Xi raised his head and looked at Lin Xian:

"Are you going to take revenge? Go to this Kevin Walker?"

"No."

Lin Xian shook his phone:

"I'm thinking about the veracity of this information."

The short ponytail on the back of Yu Xi's head swayed again:

"Do you suspect this information is false?"

"That's right."

Lin Xian nodded:

"In my cognitive judgment, Jask and Kevin Walker should be a pair of enemies who have a very bad relationship and are very difficult to deal with. From a behavioral analysis, Jask launched a rocket to blow up the house hijacked by Kevin Walker. The aerospace plane ruined his good deeds; then Kevin Walker took a lot of revenge on Jask, destroying all his Starlink satellites and blowing up many factories. "

"Although both people are suspected of being members of the genius club, what happened between them has gone far beyond joking and making fun. Even to a certain extent, Jask and Kevin Walker The feud between them seems to be more serious than mine."

"Under this premise... I am very confused. If Jask really knows the address of Kevin Walker, then why doesn't he directly solve this scourge? Although the United States is also a country ruled by law, but Kevin Walker is a global He is a public enemy and has long been no longer protected by any national law. Killing him will not only end the hatred of the people, but you can even get bonuses and medals. "

"What's more, Jask must want to strangle Kevin Walker more than anyone else. Such a powerful hacker on the surface that no one in the world can find. Jask can be regarded as one of the people on the planet who most wants him to die. . I always feel that Jask is not a person who knows the location of his enemy, and then can chat with his secretary leisurely, tell the address, and even plan to take a few days to take revenge. "

"Kevin Walker is known as the most powerful hacker in human history, and his anti-reconnaissance capabilities must be equally powerful. Including street cameras and mobile phones in our hands, I believe that if he wants to invade, he can definitely do so. The invasion came in."

"So after such an analysis...does the contradiction come out? [It is impossible for Jask not to rush to take revenge the first moment he knew Kevin Walker's address. He certainly would not be so inactive; at the same time, Kevin Walker will never fail to notice that his whereabouts and address are exposed, and he will definitely move quickly and continue to disappear from the world.]"

…

"I understand."

Yu Xi listened to Lin Xian's analysis and then said:

"So... you think this is a [bait]? Is it a bait that Jask uses to lure us into the trap?"

"But there is also a contradiction, because with my name--\u003e\u003e

Aerial assassins can sense each other, and we can all know the location and distance of the other party. So in this situation of complete transparency and complete disclosure...what is the need for bait and traps? "

"Unless Jask has changed his mind and no longer wants to use time and space assassins to assassinate you, but wants to use humans in this time and space to assassinate you, so he wants to use false information about Kevin Walker's address to lure you there. "Suffer death."

"But if you consider it for this purpose, then there is no doubt that Angelica has been exposed...whether Jask deliberately told Angelica false information, or whether it was Jask who revealed the secret to Angelica. Scott used her mobile phone to send you a message... In short, something happened to Angelica and her disguise was exposed. "

at the moment.

This unclear situation made Lin Xian hesitate.

He didn't know whether to believe this piece of information.

first.

One thing that has been made clear many times is that killing Kevin Walker is the key to breaking through both reality and dreams.

Kevin Walker showed too much hostility towards himself and was a very big security risk.

Then the identity of the mysterious old man in the fourth dream, Kevin Walker, is also the first suspect.

Maybe after killing Kevin Walker, Lin Xian can save himself in the fourth dream.

Anyway.

Kevin Walker must die!

But another aspect must be taken into account...

This address information was tricked by Angelica or sent by Jask. It is difficult to tell whether it is true or false.

What if it’s a Hongmen Banquet?

What if Jask had an ambush there?

"Lin Xian, hurry up and make a decision."

Yu Xi urged:

"I can already sense that the time and space assassin is getting closer to us. There are only a dozen kilometers left... If we don't leave, it may be too late."

"Okay, let's go to Mississippi first."

Lin Xian made a decisive decision:

"As you said, if Jask can accurately know our location through the time and space assassin's induction... there is no need for him to go to any extra trouble to seduce us somewhere."

"He could use a trick to divert the tiger away from the mountain, so that the time and space assassins stay far away and let us relax our vigilance; and then at the same time, let the killers of this time and space go out to assassinate us without anyone noticing."

"So if you think about it from this perspective, it is not impossible that Kevin Walker's address is real. Anyway, we have to leave from here and go to the next place to avoid the pursuit of the time and space assassins. Since we have to go wherever we go, let's go first Let’s go to Mississippi and we’ll make detailed plans when we get there.”

Indecisiveness leads to disaster.

This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and Lin Xian believed that he must seize it.

At the very least, go to that abandoned school and see what's going on.

subsequently

The two walked out of the villa, and Lin Xian locked the door to protect the female secretary's personal safety.

Since Angelica sent a message saying not to contact her.

So.

No matter what situation she is in, just don't contact her for the time being.

The hardcore off-road vehicle started with a bang.

The high-horsepower engine makes the heavy body shake, full of aggressive power.

After Lin Xian locked the door of the villa for the female secretary, he jumped directly from the passenger seat into the off-road vehicle and headed to Vicksburg, Mississippi with Yu Xi...

It is also the location of Kevin Walker, whom he regards as his number one enemy and enemy.

…

Texas and Mississippi are so close that it takes less than a night to drive there.

Halfway through the drive, Yu Xi also sensed the changes in the position and direction of the space-time assassin:

"Lin Xian, the Time and Space Assassin is also chasing us. She followed us and turned towards Mississippi."

"It seems that this time and space assassin and girl killer has a very clear goal."

Lin Xian hummed softly:

"She was almost completely focused on chasing me. But this also proves that maybe Kevin Walker's address is really real... Otherwise, there is really no need for Jask to reveal the address to us and let the time and space assassin at the same time. It’s very unreasonable to come after us.”

"Although I want to kill Kevin Walker and cherish this hard-won opportunity and information, if the time and space assassin pursues me too closely, I will most likely choose to save my life and not go near the old site of Pent Middle School. ”

"So...I feel more and more now that the information Angelica obtained is true. I have been looking for Kevin Walker for so long and haven't found it...I must seize the opportunity this time. This is The key to [turnaround] and [turn defeat into victory]!”

"Is killing Kevin Walker really that important to you?" Yu Xi, who was driving the off-road vehicle, turned his head and looked at Lin Xian with his blue eyes:

"Based on the distance of the Time and Space Assassin from us... we should meet at the old campus site. Lin Xian, you have to weigh these two things and choose a balance between risk and benefit."

Lin Xian let out a sigh of relief and did not continue to explain to Yu Xi.

Yu Xi didn't know that he could dream about traveling to the future world 600 years later. Similarly, Yu Xi didn't know that he was stuck in the fourth dreamland for a long time.

During this period of time, the reason why I was so passive about various things was.

In the final analysis...it's because the space for movement in the dream is completely locked.

The first, second, and third dreams before.

You can travel freely --\u003e\u003e

While dreaming, you can also collect some very useful intelligence, information, and materials... and you can also bring some advanced technologies from the future world back to reality.

Such as super artificial intelligence VV, such as cold fusion technology, such as the original hibernation cabin filling fluid.

As long as you can move freely in your dreams.

That is equivalent to having a whole world more than others, a world ahead, a perspective that is 600 years ahead, and cognition and technology that are ahead of the times...

This is your true source of strength!

But this is his only golden finger, and now he is ruthlessly blocked by the mysterious old man in the fourth dream.

He must find a way to regain his home court.

And now.

It's the best opportunity.

"Get ready to fight."

Lin Xian took out the black pistol prepared by Angelica from his pocket, pushed open the magazine, looked at the number of bullets inside, and pushed it back:

"I don't know what the risks will be in this infiltration battle, but we must be prepared to deal with various situations. If there really is a double-team situation like that... just concentrate on fighting the time and space assassin, and leave the rest I will take care of the threats from this time and space.”

"Are you really able to do that?" Yu Xi looked at Lin Xian with some distrust:

"Are you a good shot?"

"Humph, very good."

Lin Xian chuckled unceremoniously:

"Of course, the premise is that I can shoot it out. Otherwise, no matter how good your marksmanship is, it will be useless."

…

That night, at nine o'clock.

Yu Xi drove the off-road vehicle and successfully arrived at the location marked on the map, No. 217 Lisson Road in the suburbs of Vicksburg, which was shown to be the former site of Pent Middle School.

The two were in no hurry to enter the school.

Instead, he found a vantage point nearby, overlooking this ancient campus that had obviously been abandoned for a long time.

There were police cords or iron sheets all around, with various prohibition-for-entry written on them in English.

This campus is not big, with only five buildings in total.

Except for the tallest building, which is five or six stories high, the rest are basically small buildings of two or three stories. The architectural style is also that of the late last century. After being abandoned for many years, it is now in ruins and dilapidated.

"There's not a single light anywhere."

Yu Xi glanced at several buildings on campus and said:

"But there must be someone living or doing something here. My eyesight is very good. I can see that infrared cameras are installed in every corner of the campus, and those cameras... are all working and powered on."

"Can you see clearly from this far away?"

Lin Xian was really surprised.

He had always thought that there was a difference between good eyesight and clairvoyance. Good eyesight was nothing more than seeing more clearly, but he never thought... Yu Xi's enhanced facial features could really be called a clairvoyant who could discern everything:

"Then it seems that we have found the right place."

Lin Xian stood on the top of the tall building, crossing his arms and looking at the deserted school below him that looked like a haunted house.

Normally, it would be absolutely impossible for a place like this to have electricity.

Let's not talk about the issue of aging and unsafe circuits... Looking at the dilapidated appearance of several buildings, this campus has been abandoned for more than ten years at least.

All the windows were broken, most of the wooden doors were rotten, and even the roofs of some low-rise buildings had collapsed.

This is like a dangerous building scene.

There are so many safety nets and warning lines surrounding it, the purpose is also to warn people not to get close and be careful of being injured by the collapse of the building at any time.

According to normal municipal planning, this place should have been bulldozed and demolished long ago... An old campus site is not a museum, so what value does it have that has been preserved for so many years?

Not to mention.

The details that Yu Xi discovered just now——

This kind of dilapidated campus, where no one has a shit and no homeless person would come, is still connected to electricity and has surveillance.

"Maybe Kevin Walker really has to hide in a place like this."

Lin Xian said softly:

"Otherwise, why would it be necessary to install surveillance cameras? Not to mention that this is Mississippi, which has strict requirements for surveillance cameras. This means there must be a ghost inside."

"There are no lights on the buildings on the ground, so it is very likely that Kevin Walker is hiding in the basement or underground building."

As he spoke, he scanned the few buildings on campus, trying to find other clues.

"It should be in that building

Yu Xi pointed to an auditorium-style circular building in the northwest corner of the campus:

"Compared to several other buildings, the surveillance cameras in this circular building are obviously abnormal... Moreover, other buildings basically install surveillance cameras in the outer wall area, but only this circular building also has surveillance cameras installed inside. There are a lot of cameras.”

"But Lin Xian, you have to consider that the other party has so many cameras monitoring the outside. It is actually difficult for us to sneak in by surprise."

"These infrared cameras basically have no blind spots. From the moment we enter the campus area, we will definitely be monitored."

"It's okay, the competition is all about speed."

Lin Xian touched the black pistol in his pocket and analyzed:

"Kevin Walker has been hiding for so many years, so many countries have sent so many forces, and so many bounty hunters around the world have not caught him... There must be many reasons."

"The most fundamental reason must be that Kevin Walker's hacking skills are very high and far ahead of the times. Therefore, all the computer masters on the earth cannot trace the source through network traces... They have no idea that Kevin Walker is there. I don't know who he is--\u003e\u003e

, so if you don’t even have a target, of course you can’t catch him. "

"Secondly, there is another very important point. There is no airtight wall in the world. If Kevin Walker wants to hide so deeply that no one in the world can catch him, he must fight alone. Once there are bodyguards and nannies, There are drivers and staff taking care of him...then his true identity will be exposed sooner or later."

"Today, the total bounty on Kevin Walker around the world has exceeded tens of billions of dollars. Which normal person can resist this temptation? After all, just for providing a useful clue, the reward will be tens of millions. To put it bluntly, in the face of so much money, all brothers may turn against each other, let alone other employees. "

"We have reason to believe that Kevin Walker must be fighting alone in his current situation. He will not trust anyone, nor dare to trust anyone, let alone challenge human nature... Therefore, for the sake of safety, regardless of whether he is now Hiding somewhere, there must be no help except a computer.”

Yu Xi blinked.

The crystal blue eyes looked brighter and sharper in the night.

She turned her head.

Let the night wind blow the short ponytail on the back of his head and look at Lin Xian:

"You're quite smart. I didn't even think of the possibility that he would have no helpers at all."

"Maybe it's because you haven't been in this time and space long enough to understand Kevin Walker's situation."

After saying that, Lin Xian spread his hands again:

"It may also be that you are young and have not experienced too much intrigue and intrigue in society, so you cannot understand the evil of the human heart and the nature of human nature. There is a saying that is good, human nature cannot stand the test, so never Try to test human nature.”

"As for Kevin Walker, in the past, I might have believed that he had helpers, friends, and maybe even an organization in his own right... But now that he has become a global public enemy, it is impossible for Kevin Walker to trust anyone. In the face of tens of billions of dollars, whoever you trust is equivalent to trusting your life to someone else, so you might as well trust yourself.”

"When Kevin Walker was active in the hacker field before, he had many fans and admirers. But now... these people have become the group of people who work hardest to search for traces of Kevin Walker, and everyone's eyes are shining. The green light of the dollar bill."

"This is why I have always emphasized that learning Kevin Walker's address this time is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. He is now alone and fighting alone. Even if he sees us sneaking into the campus, he will only prepare in advance at most. , hiding in advance, or ambush in advance. "

"It is impossible for him to suddenly summon a group of helpers out of thin air, nor to shake people on the spot. So in this case, except for you, a time traveler who is restricted by the laws of time and space and cannot take action against Kevin Walker, this is the relationship between him and me. A 1V1 battle between men.”

"I have practiced marksmanship, parkour, reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance, and police and criminal practical drills for so many years. There is no reason for me to lose to him. I am still confident in this."

Yu Xi tilted her head in confusion:

"When...when did you practice so many skills?"

"But it doesn't matter. As you analyzed, there is no one else interfering in this dilapidated campus. That is also good news for me. At least it means that I can use the pistol with confidence and don't have to worry about the missed bullet triggering the trigger." Punishment by the laws of time and space.”

"Because judging from the current situation, the time and space assassin is also approaching here at high speed, and we will definitely meet her tonight. The battle between you and Kevin Walker, and the time and space assassin between me and me will not be successful. Fight. If I have a gun, I won't be at a disadvantage when facing that time and space assassin, and I can buy you more time."

After saying that, Yu Xi raised her right hand against the night wind and pointed to the east:

"The time and space assassin came quickly from that direction. At such a fast speed, she obviously had transportation. Now that we have finalized the battle plan, let's get started! Now it's us and time, and Kevin... The race between Walker and the Space-Time Assassin... depends on who can complete the mission first."

Click.

Lin Xian released the safety of the pistol, loaded it, and held it in his hand:

"Action, start!"

boom------

The roaring hard-core off-road vehicle drove directly over the cordon, broke through the guardrail, and suddenly rushed into the abandoned campus.

Just after Lin Xian and Yu Xi came down from the tall building next to them, they immediately prepared the "Blitz Campus" plan.

Since the problem of surveillance cameras cannot be avoided, then just be bold!

Use the fastest speed, the speed that the enemy cannot react, rush in directly, and catch him by surprise!

The specific plan is that when everything is ready, the hard-core off-road vehicle parked at the corner outside the campus will directly accelerate with all its strength, run rampant, and rush to the gate of the circular building of the abandoned campus as fast as possible.

Then Lin Xian and Yu Xi immediately got out of the car and rushed to the underground floor of the circular building without stopping, trying to find the enemy and end the battle as quickly as possible while ensuring safety.

"Kevin Walker is being captured by the whole world now, and his nerves must be highly tense, so no matter how fast we move, he must be able to react."

The off-road vehicle had already passed the railing and was speeding through the campus. Lin Xian held onto the window frame and shouted:

"So don't rush forward so fast. You stay behind and I'll be in charge of the front. By the way, where is the position of the space-time assassin?"

"Very close!"

Yu Xi drove the off-road vehicle through the campus, clenched his teeth, and took a glance to the right:

"Very close! Just outside the campus wall! No... above!!!"

Yu Xi shouted.

Lin Xian hadn't reacted yet. He was outside the high wall of the campus in the last second, but how come he was above his head in the next second?

How did he fly?

However...

--\u003e\u003e

The next second, the sky in front gave him the answer.

I saw...

Against the black background, an exaggerated blood-red motorcycle fell from the sky.

And on the seat of the motorcycle...

A girl wearing a black leather jacket, with her hair swaying in the night wind and her terrifying blue eyes as bright as a light bulb, was staring at this side!

She was still expressionless.

Just like an eagle swooping down, it hooks its prey tightly!

Squeak————

Yu Xi hurriedly turned the steering wheel, swayed horizontally, and stopped the off-road vehicle horizontally in front of the circular building gate.

Then, while the arrogant blood-red motorcycle had not landed yet, he took out his pistol and fired a few bullets into the air!

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

But the moment the space-time assassin saw Yu Xi take out the gun, he clasped the handlebars of the motorcycle with both hands, and then tilted his whole body to the side... As if he was weak and boneless, the space-time assassin huddled on the side of the motorcycle like a kitten, and the bullets hit the steel beams of the motorcycle and bounced bright sparks.

"Lin Xian! I'll hold her! Go quickly!"

Yu Xi shouted and jumped directly from the car.

Lin Xian did the same.

He knew that time was precious, and he also knew that he could not cause any harm to the space-time assassin because he would be forced to avoid in the opposite direction.

He simply didn't waste time here, and rushed directly into the interior of the circular auditorium building and sprinted to the underground negative one floor.

Before he sank into darkness, he looked back at Yu Xi for the last time...

Yu Xi was holding a pistol, shooting and approaching, and was about to catch the time-space assassin.

Suddenly.

A black shadow rushed out from the front of the motorcycle!

Yu Xi immediately changed her aim and shot at the black shadow... But she immediately realized that it was a bait!

That black shadow was not the time-space assassin, but the black leather jacket she threw out to attract attention.

Fortunately, Yu Xi had excellent dynamic vision and did not waste any bullets.

But when she retracted her gaze and the muzzle of the gun again, the expressionless, cold and fierce time-space assassin had already jumped out from the opposite direction of the front of the car and was close to her!

The four eyes met.

Four blue light bulbs illuminated the space between the two.

Swish——

The time-space assassin swung his sword with an invisible afterimage, like a half moon in the night sky, to cut Yu Xi in half.

But as a physical enhancer, Yu Xi was no pushover. She dodged with a powerful jump and pointed the gun in front of her.

Close-range shooting does not require any aiming!

Ka!

Unexpectedly, the Spacetime Assassin also held a steel knife in his left hand! He slashed it diagonally with great force and cut the pistol off!

The broken surface was like a mirror, reflecting the cold moonlight, extremely brutal.

Yu Xi turned around and threw away the half-broken pistol, and also took out the short knife at her waist to fight with the Spacetime Assassin.

Ka! Ka! Bang!

The two girls retreated in a staggered manner under the moonlight, refusing to give in to each other, and the cold weapons in their hands collided to produce hot sparks.

Lin Xian only took a look and turned away.

He knew that in this battle of gods with great power and lightning speed, he could not help at all; the most important thing he could do to help Yu Xi was not to cause trouble for her and distract her.

He made several jumps, using his parkour skills to the fullest, and instantly reached the underground space.

As expected!

Under the crack of the door of the room at the end of the passage, a bright white square light leaked out!

Yu Xi's guess was right.

There is power supply and people in the basement here, and someone is hiding inside!

Faster...

Faster.

If the person hiding here is indeed Kevin Walker.

Then he must have seen the invasion of the off-road vehicle and the fight between the two blue-eyed girls in the yard through the surveillance camera.

Naturally, he also saw himself running quickly into the underground and rushing towards his room.

Lin Xian's speed is very fast.

In the blink of an eye, he has arrived at the door of the house where the light leaked out.

It is a very ordinary iron anti-theft door.

As Lin Xian, who has been a big shot in the first dream for a long time, he knows too well how to open this kind of anti-theft door.

After stopping at a rapid speed, he immediately raised his right leg, tightened all his muscles, and kicked hard at the door lock -

Bang!

With a loud bang, the security door with an ordinary lock was kicked open directly, hitting the inner wall around the bearing and bouncing back.

Lin Xian immediately moved sideways behind the wall, ready to avoid the attack.

But found...

There was no reaction from inside!

This was not normal.

If the enemy had seen the intrusion through the surveillance camera, they would have opened fire when they kicked the door just now.

Lin Xian was too familiar with the details of this kind of gunfight and street fighting. He had practiced it for thousands of nights in the first dream.

So he took a step, turned sideways, and flashed through the wide-open door.

This time he saw it clearly!

Inside, there was only a man wearing a black hood, eating on a computer desk with his back to the door.

In front of him, there were more than a dozen shiny surveillance screens.

The man at this time.

Biting food in his mouth, --\u003e\u003e

Turning his head, staring at Lin Xian with wide eyes.

Very shocked by this uninvited guest!

Teng.

When Lin Xian strode into the door with a gun in his hand, the hooded man also stood up from his chair suddenly, looking at the surveillance screen in front of him with a shocked face.

Lin Xian also saw it...

The surveillance screen showed every corner of the campus.

But the problem is——

The SUV that should have been parked at the entrance of the auditorium building was not seen on the surveillance screen;

The campus where the two girls from different time and space were fighting was empty on the surveillance screen;

Even though Lin Xian was in the room now, the surveillance screen of the room on the screen only showed the figure of the hooded man... Lin Xian was clearly standing in the room, but there was no shadow of him on the surveillance screen.

The hooded man instantly understood what happened!

"You lied to me!"

He pounded his fists on the computer desk and yelled at the dozens of monitors in front of him:

"You betrayed me! You betrayed yourself! We are obviously the same person! What the hell are you thinking!!"

All of a sudden...

All the speakers in the room sneered together:

"[I am Turing, you are just... Kevin Walker.]"

The hooded man cursed and then rushed to the table next to him like crazy.

There was a black revolver on it, Smith \u0026 Wesson M500.

But how could Lin Xian give him a chance to fight back?

Bang!

Two rapid gunshots.
