Gunfire, Punk and Necromancer

When multiple parties plot against each other, the stronger and less powerful will often kill the weaker ones first to weaken their opponents and supplement themselves. This time, mercenaries, cemetery gangs, riot squads, PCPD and some covetous external forces have created a whirlpool of mutual confrontation, and someone must be sacrificed first.

"As long as the constitutional government does not fall, the PCPD must live; at the same time, because of the existence of the constitutional government, the PCPD cannot become a vassal of any other party. All this time, the PCPD has not figured out its status and gameplay: it should be a country that is not afraid of anyone. Only a tyrannical and ruthless guy can maximize its interests, including maximizing its advantage of immortality, while avoiding the problem of not being able to rely on it."

Palovitch looked at Lucy when he said these words, but Zhuang Xuteng always felt that he was saying it to himself and Mike Lebedev. "Don't get me wrong, being attached to others is basically a bad thing, but being unable to attach is indeed a problem, which means there is no way to always stand with the strongest. I first thought that I could hide behind the PCPD and stretch out my little hand in key places A little push can make it work and change the situation. Now I admit that this plan will not work: PCPD must act on his own, and the only way to do this is to put him in a situation where he has to act."

Lucy was noncommittal. She just tapped her fingers on the table and then asked the most crucial question: "What are your plans and what price are you prepared to pay?"

"You middlemen have some resources, including the media, including some officials within the constitutional government. Our riot squad does not have these resources, so we need to use your resources to guide the entire public opinion in Peicheng. Exaggerate threats to force PCPD action is better than letting Peicheng really enter a chaotic and brutal state, right?"

Lucy immediately pointed out: "Public opinion action is very expensive. Those media can only have two states: praising the company's bad feet and letting others bid. The lobbyists and politicians in the constitutional government are similar. They are all a bad virtue. What do you mean? The kind of public opinion action you mentioned costs a lot of money, and its effectiveness is far less effective than letting mercenaries directly accomplish something. Moreover, you haven't said where the benefits are yet."

Palovich said: "The constitutional government allocates a large amount of money to the PCPD every year, and the PCPD also has its own underground income. The money is first pooled and then dispersed into eight to ten accounts. Do you remember the financial crisis nine years ago? A large number of stock and futures assets shrank overnight, which also affected PCPD's assets. So since then, PCPD has taken out a large part of its funds and purchased them into things that will preserve their value."

Lucy shook her head and said: "In the past nine years, the thing that has maintained and increased its value the most is real estate. You won't let us get real estate, right? It's too slow to realize this thing."

"Twenty percent is gold, 20% is platinum coins, some extremely valuable shadow slaves and implants, and living shadow slaves. As far as I know, PCPD has three living shadow slaves, but this news is isolated and there is no Get verification from the second channel." Palovich said: "Three people in the PCPD definitely know where these things are placed, and there are five other people who probably know something. Only when the PCPD is weakened can we move these eight Guys, get accurate intel on this stuff.”

Lucy was still shaking her head and said: "We are middlemen and mercenaries, not explorers. Our business method is to give money first and then do the work, instead of looking for things with a treasure map with a serious illness on it."

Palovich frowned and said, "I want you to be partners."

"What we want is the boss." Lucy finally stopped shaking her head, but she still didn't agree. "Set clear mission objectives, and then pay according to the rules, and we will find a way to complete it for you. If you exceed the target, you will give us a bonus, and we will honestly not cause any trouble for you. This is the only level of cooperation we can have now. ,What do you think?"

Seeing Lucy's resolute attitude, Zhuang Xuteng supported him and said, "The PCPD is indeed not very good, but precisely because it is not very good, we still need our mercenaries, so we have work to do. The riot control unit is so powerful. , there is no need for us, so we definitely need to weigh whether it is more beneficial to have a full meal or to eat every meal.”

"If you have this attitude, then there is no way to talk." Palovic gestured to stand up.

Zhuang Xuteng took a step sideways in Lucy's direction, seemingly to clear the way out of the room, but in fact he was occupying a better position, which could both protect Lucy and threaten Palovic.

When Lucy saw Palovic stand up, she did not stop her. She just said: "The method of painting cakes for others was very popular in this industry in the past. It was so popular that it almost destroyed this industry. You are here Having worked in this business, there is no way you don’t know this history. To say the least, I will pretend that you don’t know, and I can forgive you. But after I said this, if you want to continue to play like this in front of me, or change If a middleman continues to play the game, it means that the middlemen are stupid and cannot learn and grow from the lessons of history."

Palovitch stopped, sighed, and wiped his mouth with his hand. "Okay, I understand your caution, I just think it's a pity that you gave up your partner. How can that fixed income be compared with the shared income?"

"Let's talk about fixed income!" Lucy said: "Come on one task at a time, and calculate it clearly one by one, so that both parties can explain it easily. Don't be impulsive, don't be too excited, calm and professional work can make cooperation more enjoyable. long."

Palovic thought for a while and said: "I don't have that much cash here, but I can pay in kind. For example, vehicles, aircraft, speedboats. Shadow slaves used by some riot control teams, such as weapons and armor, and some Communication equipment.”

Lucy finally nodded and said: "It's finally a good start. We can collect these things and use that part as a deposit. After the task is completed and you have profits, you can also pay us in cash - if you think the depreciation price is not enough If appropriate. But I want to remind you that in addition to physical objects, the intelligence collected by the riot control team over the years is also very valuable, and that is also your wealth."

"I have no say in the intelligence part." Palovich said: "I have three things to do now: The first is to prepare public opinion and policy offensives to cooperate with our actions. The second is to kill the two members of the Cemetery Gang. The Eight Elders, they are very smart guys in the Cemetery Gang and are quite dangerous. The third thing is to steal two cars loaded with dangerous goods from the Cemetery Gang. We have been keeping an eye on them for a while, but we don’t have anyone who is proficient in stealth. , it’s never been easy to act.”

Lucy touched her head and said: "There has always been a shortage of stealth talents, and I am also thinking of ways to cultivate them. I need to look at the specific task content and judge the difficulty before I can say whether my people can take it on."

Palovic looked back at Zhuang Xuteng, snorted, and said: "Okay, if you say that there is a lack of stealth talents, I will believe it. But I know very well that this Naike and Ge Gongdao are quite capable of fighting. Not to mention the Eight-Headed Elder. How about this, at least you are not asked to deal with the Nine-Headed Elder this time, so you won’t be afraid, right?"

Zhuang Xuteng remained calm and asked, "Can't your riot squad arrest the two eight-headed elders directly?"

"We arrested today and have to release them tomorrow! The Cemetery Gang not only has lawyers, but also a group of minions who are always ready to take the blame for the boss. We are also very annoyed, so we can only use this out-of-sight, out-of-mind method. Method."

"Understood, completely understood." Lucy tapped the table and said, "Brother Dao, Naike, please go out and wait for a moment. I will ask you about the specific tasks and income. Don't arrange other things. I will get you a designated task. That way we can charge him some more money.”

After hearing this, Palovic's face turned blue and red, looking particularly embarrassed. He called Zhuang Xuteng over just to make love in front of him, hoping that the young mercenary would be moved by what he said and force Lucy to take over the mission. Unexpectedly, Zhuang Xuteng trusted his middleman so much. He always kept in mind the boundaries between mercenaries and middlemen, and did not reveal any flaws. He was a little sad because when he was acting as a middleman, he didn't have mercenaries with such a character.

Zhuang Xuteng nodded to Lucy and said, "We are waiting outside the door. If you need to run errands, just call."

Does the service scope of just shouting include killing all the people in the room? Palovic suddenly felt a headache. He would rather face a sneaky villain than deal with an "honest, obedient, stick-to-itive" guy. It’s really uncomfortable to be in a scene where I can’t use my eloquent skills...

The four-person action team was waiting outside the door, ready to rush in at any time to protect Lucy and eliminate the uneasy factors - but this did not happen. About an hour later, the door opened and Palovic and his group came out, and Lucy called them in.

"You guys are really not cheap," Palovic said as he and Zhuang Xuteng passed each other.

"If we are cheap, wouldn't we feel sorry for our defeated opponents?" Zhuang Xuteng smiled slightly and said, "Making enemies cry and making friends laugh has always been our service tenet."

"Okay, stop talking nonsense, there's a lot of work here!" Lucy waved to let them in. "Close the door tightly, move a chair and sit closer. The Cemetery Gang has started to take action, and we must also find allies and helpers, so as to reduce risks and increase income. Cooperation with the riot squad is a must, so don't have any resistance. .”

"We all understand." Ge Gongdao curled his lips and said, "Lucy, what exactly do you want us to do? Assassinate or steal a car?"

"I concealed your stealth capabilities from Palovic. I suggested that he go find Henry, and then name the combination of Kent, Wayne and Prince. So the next thing you have to do is to kill the two members of the Cemetery Gang. Eight-Headed Elder." Lucy poured herself a glass of water, put the straw under the mask, and drank the water vigorously. She talked so much that her voice became hoarse and she was in urgent need of rehydration.

Taking this moment, Zhuang Xuteng thought about the current situation. Lucy deliberately concealed their stealth capabilities, indicating that there was still a lot of pressure outside. It might be the attack on the Cemetery Gang's training base, or it might be the follow-up investigation of the theft of the University City Hospital.

If linked to the riot squad, then University City Hospital is more likely. Alas, until this matter is over, they will not be able to publicize it for a day. It's not that keeping secrets makes them uncomfortable, but that they can't turn their expertise into bargaining advantages, which affects their income.

Lucy put down the water glass, cleared her throat and said: "In this operation, the riot squad will assist us. They will ask the target eight elders to cooperate with the investigation and let them go to the riot squad base at a specific time. What we need to do The only thing is to follow them, launch an attack when they return, and kill the two guys."

"When will we start?" Zhuang Xuteng asked, "Can we guarantee that the Cemetery Gang will choose the same route when they return?"

"It is better to act sooner rather than later. We must act when the events in the past two days are relatively hot. These two targets are indeed the key think tanks in the Cemetery Gang. They must be quite cunning, so this operation must be carried out with special caution. . At this time tomorrow, the riot squad will summon those two people, and they need to complete the summons within 24 hours. You have up to 18 hours to prepare, and then you have to go to camp."

Once summoned, they have to arrive within 24 hours, but it is not sure whether they will go to the riot squad at the first minute or the last minute, so they can only follow the approach.

"I will try my best to gather intelligence and provide guidance for your actions." Lucy asked: "Nike, what do you think of this time arrangement?"

"18 hours is too long. After 12 hours, we will bring our respective equipment and meet here to summarize the mission information and determine the action plan. If we encounter an unexpected situation or find a good opportunity, we will have time to Reaction." Zhuang Xuteng tilted his head and thought for a while, then said: "Does the mission require that we take action when those two people return?"

"There are no hard and fast rules, but it's best to do it that way. Palovic believes that first verify whether those two people are real, so as to ensure the result."

Ge Gongdao touched his beard and said: "How big can it be? Do you have any explosives here?"

Lucy shook her head and said: "We ran out last time, and we can't replenish the stock at the moment. I'm thinking of getting some explosives from the riot control team to replenish it, but I don't want to expose the lack of inventory... In short, no Car bomb, you have to think of other ways. Oh, by the way, we need to take evidence this time, so we can’t just blow it up into ashes.”

"Understood, we will pay attention to this and leave the body as complete as possible."

"One more thing," Lucy said: "The news brought by Palovic. He said that the time for this operation is relatively tight. In addition to adding fuel to the fire, it is also because the PCPD will have an event in five days. They are going to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the founding of the police academy and there will be some activities. It is best to use several successful actions before that to create a wave of public opinion offensive."

"I hope the PCPD can bounce back, show some fighting spirit, and stop being a zombie in Peicheng." Lucy added: "Palovic is right, only the PCPD has changed from sitting on the sidelines to taking active actions. Qing, the mercenaries will have more opportunities to make money."
