Gunfire, Punk & Necromancers

Chapter 268 Chapter 265 Team Meeting
Most intermediaries operate sideline businesses to optimize cash flow and maintain daily security and intelligence expenses.Lucy chose to buy and sell and lease real estate, Henry opened several health clubs, and Steyer owned a clothing factory and a clothing accessories manufacturing company.

The base prepared for the big operation is a warehouse of his clothing factory, located in the west of Peicheng, and you can see the highway overpass and the vast, semi-desolate plains when you go out.The place is secluded and inaccessible, and the neighbor is the abandoned mine. The empty building is only the frame, and the wind blows through the window holes and often makes whimpering noises.Steyer's clothing factory used to make tooling for the surrounding factories, and it was booming, but now they have all moved away.

It was Zhuang Xuteng's first time participating in a mercenary operation hosted by others, and it was a big operation, which made him a little nervous.On the way to the assembly point, he took the time to ask himself what he needed to pay attention to.

"The two of us are partners. We don't have any scruples when we talk. We can talk about anything." Ge Gongdao taught Zhuang Xuteng a lesson in advance, and said: "Facing other mercenaries under Lucy's banner, the relationship is farther away. The situation of entrusting tasks, especially You can’t say things like remuneration, at most you can only complain about Lucy.”

"But in front of outsiders, Lucy is the best. Not only should we not talk about our own situation, but also the situation of Lucy's other mercenaries. We don't know what social connections they have, so it involves gangs, companies and There is no need to talk about anyone's topic."

Zhuang Xuteng asked: "That is, don't talk about anything else except the mission?"

"Almost. The general topics that can be talked about include the weather, and the weather..." Ge Gongdao kept holding back his face, but Zhuang Xuteng finally found out.

"Brother Dao, are you kidding me?"

"Haha, that's what it means. I think you're very nervous." Ge Gongdao bumped him with his elbow and said, "Except for personal information and especially how much money you earn, you can say whatever you want. Actually When you get there, you'll find that everyone's pretty much as nervous as you are—if anyone's not nervous, he's trying to sell us out."

"Huh? Betray us?"

Ge Gongdao nodded, and said: "Think about it, the middleman will use real identity information to clamp down on the mercenaries under his hand, and he has been on guard all the time, which shows that there are many cases of betrayal in this industry. Most of the mercenaries who come out to work as mercenaries are for money , and money is always a bastard. Things gather together and people are divided into groups, those who are close to red are red and those who are close to ink are black... There will be bastards among mercenaries..."

"Uh...Brother Dao, I suggest that we hurry up and find a chance to deal with Viper. I'm afraid you may have mental problems."

"It will be done. I'll call you. Don't worry." Brother Dao pressed the horn hard to make way for the stupid car in front that couldn't drive.He'd always been more irritable than usual when it came to the Viper, but now it was getting worse. "Focus on what I say! Every mercenary is actually wary of whether someone will betray information—not everyone is as stupid as I used to be. This kind of situation where multiple middlemen get together, everyone will be more worried. Some A person who behaves both ways is most likely a traitor."

"The first type is those who are particularly concerned about the content of the task, especially those who, besides their own, ask what other people are going to do, give others ideas, think of ways, and find ways. The more you understand and the more comprehensive you are, the more you can intervene. The more people there are, the more often this kind of person has no peace of mind.”

Zhuang Xuteng scratched his head, and he warned himself to avoid this kind of behavior.

"The second type is to act like you don't care about anything. A person is bored and hides his thoughts deeply. This kind of person doesn't care about the success or failure of the task. He has already sold the task and knows how it will end. No effort required."

Zhuang Xuteng scratched his head again, as if he felt that Brother Dao was still talking about him.

"After you go, you should eat, drink, and sleep. You can also do training, just hide it. We are not responsible for the arrangement of the mission, nor the success or failure of the mission. If you have any problems in this regard, go to Lu Xi, don’t discuss it with anyone else—except me. It’s good to succeed in the mission, but if you fail, then take care of yourself first, understand?”

"Brother Dao, if everyone doesn't do their best, the mission will likely fail."

"Everyone will work hard after entering the mission. Only when they see that the mission goal is likely to be achieved and they will get the money will they try their best. Everything before that is false - just remember this "Ge Gongdao sighed, and said: "When I formed my own team, I had the same idea as you. I felt that projects organized by middlemen were too prone to problems, and it was better to use acquaintances who could stay together for a long time. "

Zhuang Xuteng hummed, then turned his head to look out of the car window, most of the excitement when he took over the task before disappeared.The more he thinks about this mission carefully, the more he will worry, and even feel a little frustrated.This mainly stems from letting a group of people who are wary of each other perform the complex task of hoisting the train, and there are too many uncertainties in it.At the same time, there was one thing that made him feel very strange: when accepting the task, Ge Gongdao was also very excited.It stands to reason that he should have clearly known in his heart what he wanted to understand now, why is he still so excited?
Is there any other information that Brother Dao deliberately hides, and is going to give himself a surprise (scare)?

About half an hour later, they followed the instructions to Steyer's warehouse and parked the car inside the warehouse.Lucy is here waiting for them as promised.With the addition of Zhuang Xuteng and Ge Gongdao, the team has nine members, four of whom are Lucy's mercenaries.The other two are drivers. One is Grove, nicknamed "Silver Medal". He is male, black, strong, with a slightly arrogant attitude.The other one hadn't yet made a name, the mercenary code name was Muir, she was a petite and slender girl with fair skin, dry dark red hair, and severe freckles.

"There are two people out of Steyer, the frontline intelligence officer, the cousins, the two in the middle of a pile of instruments in the front left. They have short light blonde hair. They have participated in many entrusted missions. They didn't shine but didn't have any accidents—in fact This is the most important point." Lucy led the way and introduced the people here. "The taller one is called Nightingale, and the shorter one is called Rock Sparrow. The two of them not only have some abilities of intelligence officers, but also a small amount of extraordinary spells. It is absolutely impossible to get the train without them, so they are the mission. Core, protect them."

Ge Gongdao immediately asked: "How do you judge the priority? Muir first, or them first?"

"Muir can take care of himself." Lucy concluded with this sentence, and then pointed to the three people on the right and said: "The three people drinking afternoon tea here are mercenaries recommended by Henry, Kent the rock climber, and Vivian the flying mouse." En and Spiked Prince."

"I know the three of them, and they are all good players." Ge Gongdao waved towards them.Wen Enduan, who was dressed in a black suit, nodded slightly, and the rich and generous Prince turned his head, shaking his long black wavy hair, and gave Ge Gongdao a supercilious look and a middle finger.And Kent, who was wearing a plaid shirt and jeans, walked towards Ge Gongdao with a smile and opened his arms at the same time.

The two briefly hugged each other, patted each other's arms, and could hear their muscles muffle.Kent has a square face, a square-shaped face with thick eyebrows and big eyes, dark skin and no beard. He looks like a laborer or farmer doing hard work.He had a short crew cut that was easy to manage, and he always smiled. He also nodded to Zhuang Xuteng, and finally smiled at Lucy, saying, "It's great that Brother Dao can come."

Ge Gongdao said with a smile: "The three of you haven't gotten together for a long time, what are you doing this time, are you going to steal my business?"

"Yeah, we are ready to replace you at any time." Kent approached Ge Gongdao, covered his mouth with his hand, and said in a low voice: "Be careful Prince, she still has a grudge, and she will definitely teach you again. If she lets me and Wei Please help me, we dare not refuse, so please forgive me first."

Zhuang Xuteng looked left and right, his heart of gossip was burning.

"I can hear you talking!" Prince still raised his middle finger at Ge Gongdao. "Kent, don't be ashamed of going there! If I want to find Brother Dao, I don't need the help of the two of you!"

"It seems that I've been rejected." Kent shrugged with a smile, and said, "Lucy, I won't delay your business, your residence is a little further inside. I haven't seen this newcomer, let's have a good chat after we make an appointment .Let's go, let's see you later!"

Kent and Ge Gongdao clashed fists, then turned and left gracefully.Zhuang Xuteng and the three waved, and then asked, "Brother Dao, did you have any trouble with Prince?"

"A little friction has not been dealt with well, just have a deep communication and talk about it." Ge Gongdao patted Zhuang Xuteng on the shoulder and said, "By the way, I want to remind you first that Kent and Wayne like men. Yes, you should pay attention to your behavior, if it is a joke about a woman, don't tell them, it will make them feel awkward."

"Aren't you always telling jokes like this?"

"Let you pay attention, don't talk so much nonsense!" Ge Gongdao pressed Zhuang Xuteng's shoulder, looking around along the way, he must be thinking about something.

The three continued to walk in, and quickly took a clear look at the operation base converted from the warehouse.The area once entering the warehouse is used for parking. Normally, the gate must be closed, and entry and exit must be registered to avoid being eye-catching.After entering the parking lot, there is a free activity area. There are sofas, TVs, magazines, and refrigerators full of food. Everyone can rest while watching.

A little further inside are eight neatly arranged containers, each of which is a living unit that can accommodate four people.Four eight thirty-two, the middlemen don't live here, and now there are only nine.

There is one room for Zhuang Xuteng and Ge Gongdao, and one room for the two drivers. The utilization rate of the container is only half.If calculated in this way, there should be sixteen people, the number can't match, it's a bit weird.

Further inside the residential area, Steyer built a windowless steel plate house in the warehouse, next to the power generation room that powers the entire operating base.This steel plate house is equivalent to an operational intelligence room, where detailed plans will be drawn up.
