Gunfire, Punk and Necromancer

"We finally made it back. Didn't we pass the time window?" Zhuang Xuteng entered the armored vehicle through the back door. As he spoke, he tore off the remains of the parachute bag on his body, and then began to add equipment to his body. Mike, don't be stupid and tell me what's going on! "

"To put it simply: Palovic has returned to Peicheng, and I have found his traces. I will take you out first and explain in detail on the way." Mike started the car and drove out of the parking lot and entered the road. "The foundation of the Gardeners organization In Peicheng, each group has some ways to hide equipment and assets. There are six people in our group, Palovic and the twin right-hand men, plus me, Gant, and Tortof."

"If Gant and Tortoff die when Dingxin Magic is attacking, and only the four of us are left, then there is a possibility that the safe house of our group will be saved." Mike said: "Palovich He doesn't know that I'm still alive, and he doesn't necessarily know whether Gant and Tortoff are dead or alive, or whether they will betray confidential information if captured, so he won't easily return to Peicheng to retrieve equipment and information. I have the same feeling Because of their worries, they are so poor that they can only sleep on the street and dare not get anything.”

Mike's concerns stem from caution and are also influenced by a lack of confidence. It wasn't until he met Zhuang Xuteng and learned how to control his body posture to avoid being seen through that his self-confidence increased. While Zhuang Xuteng was digging tunnels and tracking the safety blue production chain, Mike avoided all surveillance and identification and successfully returned home. He could not move in openly yet, but he had already met his wife and found a job at home as a "servant".

Although the young children can only be kept secret for now, allowing them to continue to suffer the psychological pain of not having a father, Mike can at least take care of them at a close distance. He has done his best so far and can look forward to the future. It was precisely because of his gratitude to Zhuang Xuteng for his help and being asked to search for Palovich that Mike plucked up the courage to check the safe house left at that time.

There were four safe houses in their group, and Mike found the first one, which was open. This state originally made Mike very disappointed, but when he braved the bullet and went in to check it out, he was overjoyed. In this room that was opened, only a few things had been taken away. Most of them were high-value and easy-to-carry items, plus some fake identity documents. Mike checked and found that only the IDs of Parowi and the twins were missing, while those of the other three were still there.

Using criminal investigation techniques, Mike basically restored the situation at the time. This must have been caused by Palovic and the twins hurriedly evacuating when Dingxin Magic was attacking. They were in a panic. They didn't know what the way forward was, and they didn't dare to stay any longer. They just grabbed the minimum supplies and ran away. The other three safe houses remain sealed, which is good news and could increase Palovic's willingness to return to Peicheng.

He left contact information in three safe houses, hoping that Palovich would be able to get in touch with him when he came back to see him. This method uses the encryption method of the last mission. If Palovic sees it, he can tell that it was left by him. After that, Mike waited for news with peace of mind until Palovic actually came to him.

The transmitted information was also encrypted, and important information such as time and location were specially encrypted. The words used were selected from several missions performed by Mike. After decrypting the code, Palovich said to the general effect: If you really want to rebuild the Gardeners organization, meet at Workshop No. 1 outside the city within eight hours. It has been demolished by Dingxin Magic and there are no valuable items there, so it is very safe.

"Are you sure it's Palovic?" Zhuang Xuteng, who was fully armed, asked.

"It should be him, I can't think of any other possibility." Mike explained while driving: "I thought about whether it might be a trap set by the company, but my message is only kept in the safe house. If the company sees it, It means that I have also been exposed and I should have been arrested long ago, so this situation is impossible. Moreover, Dingxin Magic cannot always keep so much mobile power in Peicheng. It has other work to do. According to my Observe, now its configuration in Peicheng has basically returned to before the series of events began. There is indeed a possibility of Palovich returning under this situation."

"I hope your estimates are correct. I'm tired from the journey. Let's take a short rest. Wake me up when we arrive."

Zhuang Xuteng immediately began to close his eyes and rest, and actually released his sensing tentacles to survey the front. Of course he didn't know where the so-called handicraft workshop was, but as long as there wasn't a powerful enhanced person in front of it, it would be fine if it wasn't a company trap.

The armored vehicle drove out of the city and headed south along Route 6, but didn't go far. They got off the expressway at the coal water station not far from the entrance, drove into Shaoyuan from a slope, and turned around to go north. Just on the dividing line between the city and Shaoyuan, there is a small factory with no direct road from the city. It was once a production site for the Gardeners' Organization, but is now just a ruin.

"Naike, wake up, we're here, right in front." Mike woke Zhuang Xuteng up and pointed to the ruins. "This is my first time here after that day. Look at the way those buildings collapsed. They were not in a state of destruction caused by explosions in all directions, but the whole body tilted. It was very likely that the company's reinforcements directly demolished them with their fists."

"It might have been bulldozed." Zhuang Xuteng used his sensory tentacles to see the people in the building. Palovic and the twins were there, as well as a bald old man he had never seen before. The twins were hiding inside the ruins, using binoculars to carefully observe the visiting vehicles through narrow gaps.

They would see a dark-looking driver. They couldn't possibly think it was Mike, right? Zhuang Xuteng was in the back of the armored vehicle, and there was absolutely no way for the two of them to see him.

The two quickly informed Palovic, who nodded calmly and asked them to send the signal. So, I don't know whether it was the left hand or the right hand that used the flashlight to send out a light signal, and Mike responded with the flashing car lights. The two sides flashed and flashed for a long time, and the cars had to stop in order to complete all the signals. If you don't stop, you'll have to slap it in the face.

"Your gardener organization is so verbose..." Zhuang Xuteng had already seen Palovic and he definitely couldn't let him run away, so he opened the door and got out of the car, exposing himself to the twins' view. The twins and Palovich did not show the slightest surprise at Zhuang Xuteng's appearance. When Zhuang Xuteng saw this detail, he knew that Mike had conveyed the news that he was coming together with a light signal.

It's a bit untrue - Zhuang Xuteng thought to himself. It's understandable to announce that you're here, but sending a crackling signal without telling yourself what you're sending makes people feel uncomfortable. Although he was very confident in his fighting ability, he had to be cautious because the bald old man had five people on his side from the gardener organization, while Zhuang Xuteng only had himself and no backup at all.

"Get ready..." Palovich said to the bald old man: "This Naike has the strength to kill the company's enhanced people, so you must be careful. He cannot be regarded as an ally, so you must be on guard against his sudden outburst. It's very difficult. It’s hard to say whether he will capture us and exchange bounties with Dingxin Demonic Creation for money.”

The old man nodded slowly, raised his left hand and gently touched his head, and said: "If he moves very quickly, I am not completely sure that I can control him. When the situation is not good, I will try my best to buy you time. Don’t hesitate and run as fast as you can.”

"Thank you for your hard work, Dr. Senna."

The bald old man waved his hand, saying there was no need to be so polite, and then he crossed his legs on the sofa, folded his hands in front of him, made a posture with five hearts pointing to the sky, and began to close his eyes and meditate. Zhuang Xuteng used the Eye of Shadow to notice that the shadow energy in Dr. Senner's body fluctuated, and the energy intensity gradually increased, much like a state of spellcasting and meditation.

Could he be a shadow follower mage? This is so rare.

Seeing Zhuang Xuteng get out of the car, Mike stopped sending the headlight signal and got off the car as well. "I haven't finished negotiating with them, why did you come down rashly?" He said to Zhuang Xuteng anxiously: "I'm not sure about their attitude yet. What if they get frightened and suddenly shoot you?"

"They can't hit me." Zhuang Xuteng smiled and waved his hand. Until now, Mike has not explained what he and Palovic had arranged before or what they had just talked about. This mysterious performance is disturbing, Zhuang Xuteng must be more cautious. However, he used his sensing tentacles to check up, down, left, and right, and found no traps, ambushes, or weird things.

Palovich should know that his left and right hands can't suppress me, and it's useless for him. Is it just because there is an old man? How can Master Shadow Conformer be that powerful? If it doesn't work, just use the disintegration effect. Don't hold back just because of pride.

The twins walked out from behind the wall of the ruins, folded their hands on their chests, and greeted Zhuang Xuteng with teasing smiles. "I don't know what's going on in this world. It's such a small place, and we bump into each other again." The two of them said one after another: "We thought you were full of conspiracies, and I'm afraid you had bad ideas this time, so we advised the master not to leave." See you. The master is still generous and is willing to listen to what you want to say again. We will keep an eye on you to prevent you from doing harm to the master."

"You can do whatever you want." Zhuang Xuteng smiled, relaxed his body, and behaved calmly, as if he were walking in his own yard. "How long have you been back? There's no one watching you anymore, right?"

"It's not that simple. Dingxin Magic is still wanted and hunting us, and people from other companies cannot be trusted." You and your right hand said to each other one by one: "That is, Peicheng is slightly better, and the middlemen here - mercenaries are relatively far away from the company. A little further away, there are ways to survive without the company, so we came back.”

"I can see that you are in a good state now - you talk more than before. Wait, isn't it because you still owe me a lot of money and you are nervous, so you are so willing to communicate?"

His left and right hands glared at the same time, Zhuang Xuteng laughed and stopped talking about this topic.

The remnants of the Gardeners' organization had set up a round table and six chairs in the ruins, and Palovich had a small coffee machine that used the power of a portable concentrated battery to make drinks. Under such conditions, it is not easy to have these things, and we can no longer expect them to prepare porcelain tea sets. One disposable paper cup per person is obviously a more realistic choice.

"Dingxin Magic is still looking for you," Zhuang Xuteng sat down and said directly without waiting for Palovich to ask: "After I came back, Dingxin Magic found me and offered me in exchange for not harassing me anymore. I'll find a way to find you. Palovich, they say: life or death."

Palovic stayed for a moment, his whole face elongated. After a wry smile, Palovic shook his head and said: "I thought you would chat for a while, but I didn't expect you to give me such shocking news right away. So now, the key to everything lies in one thing. :Nike, are you ready to fulfill the company’s wish?”

"Actually, I haven't really made a decision in my heart." Zhuang Xuteng grabbed the chair and put it under his buttocks, sitting firmly. Out of politeness, he nodded slightly to Dr. Senner, which was equivalent to an apology for skipping the introduction process between the two parties. "When I was talking to the company, I thought it wouldn't be difficult to kill you. I already have a lot of lives on my hands, and we have fought before, so logically there shouldn't be any psychological burden. But... I think the world still needs you. "

Palovic looked happy, opened his arms, and said: "Great, you finally..."

"Nothing is final, and nothing is too good. From a personal benefit point of view, killing you and handing you over is still the best choice." Zhuang Xuteng looked at the people around him and said to Palovich: "They all want to protect I'm holding you, but if I really want to do it, you can't run away. On the way here, I was thinking about how to solve this matter, and now I understand: Palovich, Dingxin Magic wants you to die, this is your trouble . Please use your brain and tell me how to solve this matter."

Palovic nodded and said: "You are absolutely right, this is my trouble, give me some time to think about it. Well, it won't take long, just think about it here, and I will give you the answer today."

"Very good." Zhuang Xuteng remained silent, quietly waiting for Palovic's final decision. Even though his left and right hands had circled behind him to form a siege, Zhuang Xuteng remained unmoved, as if he didn't take their threat into consideration at all.

Palovic pondered for a moment and then said: "Nike, I need some information for reference, which is a few questions: Did you kill Kaho?"

"Kaho, Isabella, and the enhancers of this and that company, if I admit to killing them, it will not do me any good." Zhuang Xuteng could only answer this way.

"Naike, no matter how much you don't want to admit it, you have to see the reality clearly: the company will definitely kill you, and the time will be the moment when you kill me for delivery or the company knows that you will not kill me. No matter how you think of yourself, Ding Xinmochuang's attitude towards you is very simple: through you, you can completely eliminate the last bit of power of the Gardener Organization, and then you will have no use value. To put it more simply: the company does not lack combat power of your level, and they should be able to Making judgments means that you cannot be truly controlled by the company. This matter now is my trouble and your trouble."

"I don't deny the trouble you mentioned." Zhuang Xuteng said: "When I was a mercenary, I also encountered clients who went back on their word and caused trouble for me, let alone facing the company. If I didn't consider this aspect, , I should have died long ago. Oh, by the way, the client who went back on his word is you, Palovich."

"Yes, there is such a thing." Palovich said: "Nike, do it with me for a big deal! After you do it, the company will never be able to find you again, and you can be truly free."
