Gunfire, Punk and Necromancer

"No one will believe that the Gardeners organization that carried out terrorist attacks is protected by the riot squad. If you still say that the Gardeners organization is within the riot squad, it will definitely be considered as a statement that only a madman can come up with." Lovich remained calm and could even put on a smile to face Zhuang Xuteng.

"Yeah, no one would think so, but that's what the Gardeners are so smart about."

Palovich shrugged and said: "According to your theory, the best place for the Gardener organization to hide is actually within the company. After all, no one would have thought that the company would turn against the company. And where the Gardener organization is, it has nothing to do with what we are going to do today. Is there anything to do with what we’re talking about?”

Zhuang Xuteng nodded and said, "If you let Brother Dao and I go to work, it's acceptable to eliminate the gang boss, but we will definitely not blow up a certain building, just like the Gardeners organized to blow up the TV station."

"Oh, that's what I meant. It seems I was wrong." Palovich let out a breath and said, "You don't have to worry about that. In our long-term cooperation, there will be no harm to innocent people." things happen."

"That's good." Zhuang Xuteng nodded and said, "I don't mind killing two bad guys, I can do it. You go to Lucy and report this matter to her, Brother Dao and I can give it to you Very good price…”

Palovic immediately frowned and said, "What does it have to do with Lucy if I ask you to do something?"

"Oh, it seems that my understanding is wrong." Zhuang Xuteng rubbed his hands and said: "It turned out to be just a single task to return a favor. I thought it was a long-term customer! Look, you didn't make it clear. Huh? You don't understand me. the meaning of?"

"You brought the Viper here, so we owe you a favor. Understand, 'a' favor. Chasing the Viper is a mission, and we just have to use a mission to repay you the favor. You can go directly to me and Brother Dao, That is to ask for this favor directly, and use two Nine-Head Elders from the Cemetery Gang to return a mid-level cadre from the Blood Bat Gang. No matter how you look at it, this favor has been repaid."

Zhuang Xuteng rubbed his hands and continued: "If you give us some tasks through Lucy, we will do a good job for you, make you feel at ease and satisfied, and at most give you a preferential price, that is long-term cooperation. This is equivalent to you using the head of a viper Instead, we will do our best, which is also a favor. It's up to you to choose which way you want, let the two of us carry out an assassination, or through Lucy..."

"You are smart and cautious. If you were my mercenary, I would be so happy!"

"Since when did you become a middleman? Isn't that guy named Carter Ross?"

"You know everything. There is no need for me to talk nonsense with you. The more I talk, the more secrets you will uncover. I have to admit: you continue to be a mercenary, no matter if you are against the PCPD, the riot squad or the gardeners organization It's all a good thing." Palovic clapped his hands on his thighs and said, "In that case, when I go to talk to Lucy, I treat it as a mercenary mission assigned to you two."

Zhuang Xuteng said with a smile on his face: "Thank you Mr. Palovich for taking care of our business!"

"Business...yes, it's all business. Naike, you seem to hate the Gardeners Organization?"

"No, don't get me wrong, I don't hate it. I just think it's not a good idea to blow up the TV station building. After all, many innocent people will be implicated. Brother Dao and I were nearby. Fortunately, we ran away early, otherwise we would have I will be pinned down and die." Zhuang Xuteng spread his hands and said: "When mercenaries act, they will inevitably cause some damage, but they will never act for the purpose of destruction. Besides, I am afraid of being pushed out by the Gardener Organization and used as a scapegoat. Put the blame on me for the various explosions in Peicheng these days. Don’t forget, it’s Brother Dao and I that Viper wants to blow up, not me.”

"I understand." Palovich looked around, sighed, and said, "Nike, let me ask you a question: The gardener organization should..."

Only half of the words were spoken when Palovic felt it was inappropriate and swallowed the remaining half. His hesitation was written on his face and imprinted in his actions, and it was all seen in Zhuang Xuteng's eyes.

"Ever since I was almost blown up and buried alive on the TV station, I've been thinking about the Gardeners. Mainly because I can't understand it: they claim to be attacking evil corporate groups, but they choose to blow up TV station, why?”

"If it's another newly emerged gang, or a half-gang, half-company organization like the Casino Group, I can understand it - but the environment in Peicheng is worse! But this gardener organization can escape The riot control squad can carry out such a large-scale operation. I am worried that one day it will take down all of Peicheng, so I am more concerned. Combined with the information I observed on the TV station, and what I have been doing since The more I think about it, the more and more the impressions of the Gardeners and the Riot Suppression Squad overlap in my mind. Palovich, the question you swallowed just now is 'How should the Gardeners hide themselves better', right?"

Palovich nodded: "Yes, the Gardeners Organization has an interest in me. Without them, I would not have a chance to make a comeback. Naike, you are a smart man. Since you can see it, you must be able to give good suggestions. .”

Zhuang Xuteng squinted his eyes, snorted softly, and said: "Okay, you can act if you want. It won't affect anything anyway. Palovich, I just want to tell you one thing: It's best not to try to infiltrate the Gardener organization." The business of middlemen and mercenaries, especially through Lucy. I just want to make good money, and the last thing I want to do is to be used as a thug by the Gardener organization, especially for sabotage operations like bombing a TV station building. At the same time, I think that direct attacks on the four major groups The act of sabotage is also seeking death. If you don't have the strength to participate in a corporate war, don't get into trouble at the level of a corporate war."

Palovic shook his head and said: "I don't agree with your point of view. Can't we just be bullied if we don't have the strength to defeat the abuser, and can't even resist?"

"In addition to your will and ideals, you must also pay attention to methods. If your resistance can only make the abuser more excited and happy, leading to more serious acts of violence, then you should not add interest to the abuser." Zhuang Xuteng snorted. , said: "Just like the Gardeners organization, it said on the radio that it was for the general public, and then bombed the TV station to make the citizens more afraid. Who are they helping?"

Palovich argued: "Blowing up the TV station is a very important action and is the key to the beginning of a series of actions. It is of great significance. It is not a random, purposeless and simple action just for violence."

"What's the use of telling me all this? The Gardeners organization has made itself secretive, blowing up buildings with great fanfare, and has stopped publicity and education. Even street gangs are still trying to make people know how much protection fees they have to charge, and there are discounts for those who obey. Zhuang Xuteng waved his hand and said: "I don't worry about it. I named the Gardener Organization today just to remind you: cooperation is cooperation, don't think too much about other things."

Palovic was stunned for a moment, then laughed. "Good boy, good boy! No wonder you can get ahead among the mercenaries! I finally understand that you are a smart man, and your request is not to fool you as a fool. Okay, I promise you!" He then stopped smiling. , waved his hand vigorously, and said: "If you understand, get out of here and get out of my car!"

Zhuang Xuteng nodded and exited the car with a smile - who would want to stay in a prison car for a long time? He turned around, stretched hard, then folded his hands on the back of his head and walked towards the music restaurant at a leisurely pace. He wanted to say a few words to Lucy before Palovic and Lucy talked alone, reminding her to be careful and not to be fooled by Palovic, and cooperation must be carried out under moderate conditions.

He had no favorable opinion of the Gardeners, believing that they, like the gangsters who set fire to stores, were using fear to establish their sphere of influence. Although the Gardeners organization did not actually divide the territory, they hid within the riot squad and then extended their hands to the middlemen and mercenary industry. This should be regarded as a kind of territory grabbing!

Pushing the door and entering the music restaurant, the mercenaries and Palovic's people were sitting on both sides of the restaurant clearly separated, without any communication between them. That's right, even if you don't mention the gardeners' organization, Palovich's people are still known as the riot squad, so the mercenaries will definitely be wary. According to industry practice, after gangs and implant diseases, riot squads are the third leading cause of death among mercenaries.

With the third cause of death hanging in front of our eyes, no one would be interested in eating, drinking or playing music. Zhuang Xuteng waved his hand to say hello to the mercenaries, then stepped up the stairs to the second floor. Originally he was going to find Lucy, but was stopped by Nightingale at the door.

"Lucy was discussing the entrusted task with the twins, and she said no one would come in and disturb her." Nightingale explained to Zhuang Xuteng in a soft voice: "Lucy also said that if you have anything to ask her, just send the message through me. Go in. The rock bird is inside, and the communication between the two of us is perfectly safe."

"Are you two Lucy's communications officers now? Are you still mercenaries?"

"We are still mercenaries. This is a commissioned mission to ensure information security." Nightingale tilted her head and said, "We will complete the mission when Palovic's people leave. Do you have anything you want me to pass on?" "

"Just let Lucy know, don't let the twins overhear." Zhuang Xuteng was about to speak into Nightingale's ear when the door to Lucy's office opened.

"Military-grade enhanced hearing, the effect is very good, and this door is one-way sound shielding, I can hear it from inside." The right hand opened the door, she pointed to her ear, and then said: "I don't want to pretend that I can't hear. Come here, lest Lucy say we don’t have the will to cooperate.”

"Upgraded!" Zhuang Xuteng smiled, poked his head in from the door, looked at the people in the room, and said to Lucy: "I've finished talking with Palovic, and I'll give him a discount to repay the favor. .”

"That's it?" Lucy tilted her head slightly and looked towards Zhuang Xuteng.

"There are still some things we can talk about after they leave! If we can talk directly, there is no need to let Nightingale pass the message, right. By the way, Palovic may come to you soon, and then assign Brother Dao and I to him To do a task. Sister Lucy, help me check to see if the price he gave is suitable." Zhuang Xuteng then waved his hand and said, "That's it, you continue to talk. Who knows where Brother Dao is?"

"He went to the kitchen, go find him there!" Lucy hooked her fingers and signaled Nightingale to close the door. Before closing the door, a voice could be heard faintly in the room: "These tasks are complicated and interrelated..."

The rest of the content could not be heard. The nightingale outside the door smiled apologetically at Zhuang Xuteng and said, "We sisters promised that Lucy would not tell others about the situation in the house, so..."

"Oh, I won't ask, don't be nervous." Zhuang Xuteng pointed to Nightingale's head and said, "You two can come to me if you need anything. You have worked hard during this period and you should relax."

"Okay!" Nightingale nodded vigorously and said quickly.

Zhuang Xuteng stomped down the stairs again. He temporarily forgot that the military-strengthened ears on his left and right hands could hear what he said outside the door. The twins obviously misunderstood. They looked at each other and rolled their eyes together, expressing disdain for Zhuang Xuteng's blatant teasing of Nightingale and regret for his chaotic private life.

It's a pity, it's a pity, Zhuang Xuteng neither knows nor cares. At the moment, he is more concerned about Ge Gongdao. Ever since he learned that Viper was caught by Palovich, he has been acting a little distraught.

As for the reason, Zhuang Xuteng can guess pretty well. Capturing Viper has always been Ge Gongdao's heartache. Since being betrayed, Ge Gongdao must have thought countless times about how to end it all. In his imagination, these scenes must have appeared countless times, including thrilling chases, tense battles, courage and perseverance between life and death, and the final judgment of justice against evil. He should be able to accept that he was seriously injured, and that Viper would not regret it until his death, but he never thought that Viper would be tied up and sent to his door.

This is equivalent to holding a breath and not being able to spit it out. Isn't it uncomfortable?

There may be another reason. Viper was the person he "kept close to his heart" and he had to put in effort and preparation before he could deal with him. However, Viper was captured easily in the end, like grabbing a piece of candy from a plate. This is like "the things I value are inconspicuous to others." This gap can also lead to some psychological problems.

Zhuang Xuteng was worried that Ge Gongdao would not be able to deal with the blow. In addition, after the death of Viper, he would have one less goal to strive for, which would eventually lead to the whole person being in bad shape. He needs Gogong Dao very much now, especially to face Palovich and the mysterious Gardener organization behind him. Zhuang Xuteng needs someone he can completely trust, and this candidate must be Ge Gongdao.

"Are you okay?" Zhuang Xuteng guided himself into the kitchen with a question, and then he saw Ge Gongdao leaning on the refrigerator with a glass of cocktail and sipping.

"It's okay! I'm fine." Ge Gongdao licked his lips and put down the cup. His expression was relaxed and natural, and there was no trace of worry between his brows. He looked at Zhuang Xuteng and asked, "Have you finished talking?"

"Well, we're done talking. No..." Zhuang Xuteng scratched his head and said, "I see you're not very happy. Why are you feeling better now?"

"Ah? Yes, okay. Chef Ma helped me solve the problem." Ge Gongdao smiled and rubbed his hands and said: "He quickly froze the viper, then cut it up and burned it, so that we don't have to think of ways to dispose of the body. .”

"Were you worried about this before?" Zhuang Xuteng slapped his forehead and asked.

"On the one hand, I'm worried about this, and on the other hand, I'm worried about Palovic's favor. But since you went to talk, I'm completely relieved. How can we return this favor?"
