Steel steam and flame

The other members did not speak, tightened their clothes, checked the weapons they carried, and then walked towards a building in the gathering area under the leadership of the woman. The security controller also fell into a deep sleep under the influence of the room heater. The sound of footsteps disappeared at the same time. Several people climbed over the guardrail. A man stepped forward and took out a new-looking password from the backpack behind him. The card was inserted into the card slot next to the door of the residential building.

There was no verbal communication, and except for a little expression on the woman's face, the other three men were all replicas of a given substance. Their heights and body shapes are almost the same, they are dressed the same, they all have no expressions, and it can be said that their faces are roughly similar. His eyes kept wandering around the front and the woman, and his actions seemed to be controlled by several complicated programs, going deep into their bodies and regulating every movement.

Going upstairs quietly, the four of them blended into the dark air in the corridor. The target was on the fourteenth floor, and the voice-activated sensor lights in each corridor were not noticed until the destination. Maybe it's just that time has passed, or the sensing range of the component is too small.

Without any extra movement, the woman walked into the room in front of her. After all four people came in and closed the door, she turned on the lamp with a "pop" sound. They all shrank their pupils to varying degrees. After the brief glare disappeared, the air circulation system automatically started and began to replace the dull air in the room.

After scanning the living room in front of her with her eyes, the woman determined that she had arrived at the destination she came to this time. There was a layer of dust on the tabletop and simple utensils, showing no trace of life. The pervasive wood-like smell proved this.

It doesn't look like a residence, nor does it look like a secret hideout that hasn't been activated yet. It was a room used to store information. The woman noticed that the windows had been reinforced and sealed. The woody smell was probably the residue of pesticides that were automatically sprayed through the air circulation system at regular intervals. After briefly checking several bedrooms, the woman returned to the hall and gave orders to the three men who were standing there motionless.

"Open the vehicle's expansion module, move all the data away, and finally clean up the traces."

The three men nodded and now put on white cloth gloves. Taking out the bags they had prepared in advance, the three of them slowly moved away the stacks of materials bound in file bags.

There was a lot of information, and it took four trips to process it. The woman sat in the vehicle after going downstairs for the first time. In the quiet night, the soundproofing of the limousine did not allow any sound to escape.

"The operation is proceeding smoothly. This is the last location. We can return to the private base tomorrow morning to start sorting and analyzing.

"Pay attention to the properties left by the two of them. They are both from big families, and their status in the knights is not low. They must have prepared a lot of good things for themselves. There are also some novel things. They are not stereotyped people. I think there are There are a lot of collectibles worth paying attention to." A male voice came from the other side, mixed with gentle music, "As for the remaining subordinates who have not been cleared out, I would like to trouble you to deal with them on your behalf. It is a transaction, and it must be fair. .I don’t want to owe someone anything, even if they’ve been dead for months.”

"I know, I will complete the task perfectly."

In about an hour, the three men got into the vehicle with the last information. With the slight sound of the engine, the shadow of the vehicle gradually shredded and disappeared in the square of lights.

At the same time, a bustling street in the center of Manoma was home to most of Manoma's famous pubs. The dazzling lights of various colors made it almost impossible to think of night here. This is the busiest time here, and the wide road is already filled with all kinds of limousines, either ordinary or luxurious.

In a room in a certain high-rise building, the sound of a mechanical watch being clicked was heard in the room shrouded in gentle light. The light fluorescent color does not conflict with the light of the lamps, and the hands above are at the two and a half o'clock positions.

"Break time is over." From the first syllable to the last syllable, the playful voice becomes rational and thoughtful. A man picked up the wine on the bedside cabinet and drank it. Then he got up without hesitation, got dressed, walked into the bathroom, came out a minute and a half later, opened the door and left the room. From the beginning to the end, he never glanced at the alluring body lying on the bed, even though the body had gradually lost its proper temperature.

"Master." On the side of the road, the man got into the limo he had been waiting for for a long time, and the assistant-looking man in the passenger seat greeted him.

"Remember to take care of things here." The man said, and the assistant nodded as usual.

"A few hours ago, I heard that a new factory was assigned to my name?" The man glanced at the pub next to him and then motioned to the driver to drive away.

"There are three locations in total. One firearms production line can produce relatively stable platinum bullets, standard firecrackers, and other weapons of the same level. The two limousine parts manufacturing locations can be converted into precision parts processing factories so that they can be used in Several core positions of combat vehicles and armored vehicles." The assistant answered fluently, and must have prepared and researched in advance.

"How long will it take to bring me substantial benefits?"

"It takes more than half a month to hand over personnel, and with the subsequent investment in raw materials, after three months, the income and expenditure will be equal, and substantial benefits will be seen in the fourth month."

After the assistant finished speaking, he saw that the man was thinking and obediently closed his mouth. After his expression returned to normal, the assistant continued to ask: "Do you want to go back to your residence first? The traces have been completely cleaned up."

"No, it's not a good time. I think the smell of blood is still there. Let's go to these factories first." The man replied and asked about other things, "By the way, is there any new news about the things I asked you to pay attention to? Some people have left Manoma in advance, and they can just continue to follow up. But we must pay attention to the connections between these people during this period, as there is the possibility of transferring materials to each other. Those who have not left, without special reasons, We all have to observe carefully. They should still have a lot of visible resources in their hands. If they want to stabilize their footsteps here, they will definitely spit out some of them consciously. I don’t want to be a person who knows nothing. I should get no less. If you can't get it, try your best to strive for it. If you satisfy me, you will all be richly rewarded."

"Understood, I will submit the analysis and summary report within a week."

"Very well, thank you for your hard work." The man leaned his straight body closer to the soft chair and looked at the night view of Manoma with a smile and sighed, "It's really a fascinating scenery..."
