Gunfire, Punk & Necromancers

Chapter 314 Chapter 311 The Legacy of the Ruins
As Lucy and Palovich finished their talks, the "hustle" of the music restaurant dissipated.The "closed for one day" sign in front of the door was replaced with "open for business", and Zhuang Xuteng and Ge Gongdao were also going home to take a rest.Since neither Lucy nor Palovich came to them to talk about the assassination of the nine-headed elders in the cemetery, the two estimated that there might be some details that have not been discussed, or the plan for how to carry out this task has not yet been determined.In short, if the task is not issued, it means there is no task. Zhuang Xuteng and Ge Gongdao can arrange their time freely.

"I'll go back and report to Prince. By the way, you asked her about the hidden action." Ge Gongdao said to Zhuang Xuteng: "At this time, you can contact Doyle to see how he is. And Our laundry room, I don’t know how it’s been destroyed.”

Zhuang Xuteng nodded and said, "Leave it to me! But first I have to go back to feed the meat buns and change the equipment - all the mice I brought are dead."

In addition to the time he had undergone surgery in the tattoo and plastic surgery hospital, Zhuang Xuteng hadn't seen the meat bun for a long time, and he always felt fat when he saw it again.The snow leopard was very enthusiastic. It jumped up and arched its head into his arms, and kept pawing at his shoulders with its two paws.Zhuang Xuteng was staggered, but with the help of the suit implant, he regained his footing, and then pressed the meat bag back under his body.

"Meteorlight gave you food, but couldn't take you for a walk, so you got fat, didn't you? Didn't you?" Zhuang Xuteng rubbed the meat bun for a while, and then said while stroking its belly: "I should be able to Come back to accompany you, play with you! By the way, there is no need to wait, just go upstairs."

Zhuang Xuteng tidied up the mice, picked out the weak ones, the dying ones, and the dead ones, and made them meat-wrapped snacks, and then took it to the rooftop.He threw mice around and let the meat buns eat them. Although this kind of activity is hardly counted as weight loss for the snow leopard, it is enough to make it happy.

Since the previous mobile phone was used to detonate the bomb, he used the spare mobile phone at home to call Doyle.Looking at the mobile phone, Zhuang Xuteng remembered that he could not afford this kind of product, even if it was for work, he only dared to use the cheapest package and the cheapest model.Now, he keeps at least four of them at home and can use them anytime.

"Nike? You have contacted me. Are you and Ge Gongdao okay?" Doyle finally heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the news that they were both safe, and then said, "Everyone in our store is fine, just Our neighbor next door was pretty badly damaged. I'm in the shop right now, cleaning up the debris. By the way, your car was blown up, but it's solid and the main body is still intact. Would you like to come over and see?"

The white beast was not blown up?Zhuang Xuteng was overjoyed and said that he would definitely go there.At the same time, he also asked Doyle to send a message to the employees in the store, saying that wages will be paid during this period, and they will work hard to rebuild the store.

In fact, from an economic point of view, rebuilding is not as good as moving.Cleaning up the ruins requires a sum of money, and rebuilding requires not only money but also time, and time is equal to wages.Doyle suggested on the phone that they relocate and open another one, so that the employees can be retained as a whole.And Doyle is right about one thing: this time the escape route and other protective measures have been exposed, and for safety, a new shelter should be replaced.

"I'm going to see the damage, and I have to ask Brother Dao for his opinion... let's meet and talk first!" Zhuang Xuteng made an appointment with Doyle for a later time, as he had other things to do.

Use the new mobile phone to call important people around you, tell them about your number change, and ask everyone how they are doing.Since he was able to memorize text information correctly, Zhuang Xuteng has printed all the phone numbers in his mind, which is relatively safer.

There are a lot of trivial things around me, for example, Zhuang Feifei is very excited to make a movie with Bai Moji; Morgana is watching the stalker and feels bored all the time; her parents complain that the protein bug has another disease and has to be busy all day... Life is made up of trivial things Yes, not afraid of trivial matters, only afraid of disasters.Zhuang Xuteng told them to be careful and pay more attention to their health.In the past two days, he will take time to go back and have a look...

After chatting about trivial matters, it's time to get busy with the work at hand.Zhuang Xuteng knocked on the neighbor's door, he vaguely heard the sound of humming inside, and it took a while before Ge Gongdao came out to open the door.Brother Dao only wore a sheet over his naked body, so he knew what he was doing before without guessing.

"My new phone number." The only person in Zhuang Xuteng's address book who had to greet him personally was Brother Dao. "Okay, I'll go see Doyle and arrange things. They're all fine, don't worry. Also, go back and work hard!"

"Oh, you've already started working, and I'm still here..." Ge Gongdao scratched his face, feeling a little embarrassed. "Thank you for your hard work. I'll go back and try to convince Prince. Just wait for the good news!"

"Don't close the door in a hurry, let me use your car." Zhuang Xuteng asked for the key of the business car, and said, "Your body is still recovering, and the sutures haven't been removed yet, so take it easy! "

"Got it! Prince called me, hurry up and go! Don't knock on the door, go away!" Ge Gongdao pushed Zhuang Xuteng out, and then quickly closed the door.

As for being so impatient?Isn't it just a matter of men and women?Zhuang Xuteng rolled his eyes, turned the car keys with his fingers, and then took the elevator down.

Elevators that don’t require people to pay to use them are fast, and other people’s cars are fuel-efficient.Zhuang Xuteng drove through the urban area, and the advertisements on the side of the road were using colorful lights to promote the 44th Grand Exposition to be held in Peicheng in three months.Peicheng has spent a lot of energy and cost in order to win this famous commercial exhibition. It is said that it can enhance the overall competitiveness of Peicheng.Zhuang Xuteng didn't want Peicheng to be more developed, but only hoped that the city government could spend more money to deal with gangsters, or that the group company could tighten the reins and control their vicious dogs.

When we came to the laundry room, most of the buildings on the street were cordoned off.These are not PCPD no-go alerts, but "construction hazards, watch out for falling objects" set up by the city government.Most of the sidewalks were cordoned off, and passers-by walked carefully, looking at the top of their heads in fear, fearing that the windows or billboards would fall.

Two car bombs left the entire neighborhood dilapidated, and shocking cracks can be seen on the exterior walls of many houses.It is already difficult to repair such a house. If you want to be safe, it is best to tear it down and rebuild it.But who pays?The Viper is dead, the Blood Bats won't admit it, and neither the PCPD nor Constitutional City can get the money out of the Blood Bats' pockets.This place will probably become a mess, a bad luck, and there is a high probability that the whole block will gradually become dilapidated and eventually become a real ruin.

From this point of view, it is correct to re-select a store.Zhuang Xuteng and Ge Gongdao are rich enough to be able to repair a two-story laundry room, but they certainly cannot repair the entire block.The so-called dilapidation is not a problem of a single building, but the whole environment.When the surrounding area gradually declines, can the laundry room and game machine store alone be able to operate well?Don't forget, their laundry room is the center of the explosion, and people who come to do laundry will have psychological shadows.

When he came to the old laundry room, Zhuang Xuteng had completely given up on rebuilding without Doyle's persuasion.He could no longer see the original appearance of the original two-story building. Only the east wall was miraculously intact and still standing in place, allowing people to imagine what it looked like before.According to Doyle, the wall may not last long, and it may fall down and hit the head of the next door at any time.

"Did no one come to dismantle it?" Zhuang Xuteng asked in puzzlement, "What did the municipality, fire protection and PCPD say?"

"Counting on them? Forget it, it's useless. Now here, even the media is not interested in coming here, let alone the other guys." Doyle shook his head slowly, his old face showing a little tiredness.He said: "I plan to hook the wall with a rope for two days and pull it down towards us so that it doesn't hurt the neighbors."

"No problem, you did the right thing." Zhuang Xuteng sighed, and said, "It's really not good to go to the scene to see the situation on the spot. I now know that there is basically no point in rebuilding here. Tell everyone, we have to change the place to operate, but not It must be the laundry room and the amusement hall, and there may be other things. Doyle, what is the hottest business in the market?"

"The blue savages." Doyle gritted his teeth and said bitterly: "Now those drug dealers are becoming more and more blatant, as if they have spotted the situation that the PCPD is too lazy to take care of things, and secretly opened many blue savage retail stores. I heard the news that, Now they don’t dare to put up the sign publicly, and they use some other business to cover it. It’s not necessarily the case in the future, or this business can be legal.”

"Legal? Can something that harms people be legal?"

Doyle nodded and said, "That's right! The world is getting more and more muddy! By the way, do you still remember Kelly?"

"Kelly from Tomato Family Garage? Can't forget, what happened to her?"

"She is also engaged in this business now. On the surface, she runs a vehicle maintenance factory, but actually runs the business of the Blue Savages. I heard that her scale is not small, and her position is also very high. Basically, she is a middle-level cadre of the gang. Alright..."

"What's wrong with this world..." Zhuang Xuteng shook his head and said, "Thank you for telling me, otherwise I might relax my vigilance if I see her again. Doyle, besides the blue savage, is there any other good business?"

"Let me ask for you! We also have some employees in the laundromat, so I'll ask them to go outside and take a look. You and Ge Gongdao still need a base of operations with a retreat, right? It turns out that the passage under the laundromat can only be retreated." , It’s actually not very good. I’ll give you a staff officer according to the army’s standards, you won’t refuse, will you?”

"Reject? I'm crazy to refuse!" Zhuang Xuteng nodded with a smile, and said, "Dauer, you take care of everyone, Ge Gongdao and I will not treat you badly! Whether it's running errands or making suggestions, everyone is united Get up and work hard in one place. This difficulty is nothing. By the way, if there is a good place to stay, you can also look at other houses in the block. If there is someone who needs help, has a good character, and We are also short of manpower, so we can definitely consider recruiting them.”

"Okay, I will pay attention." Doyle nodded, then pointed to an open space at the end of the street, and said, "At present, everyone's job is to find something usable from the ruins as much as possible. Your car is over there. Then The armored vehicle is really strong, and when it was dug out from the scene of the fire, it was still intact as a whole."

"Go! Let's go and have a look."

The white beast was hit by a car bomb in the front. Fortunately, it was an armored car, and it would have been smashed together with other models.But even for an armored car, it wasn't in good shape. The armor plate at the front of the car absorbed the impact of the explosion, and even with the bulletproof grille protecting it, the car's glass was shattered.The entire laundry room was then engulfed in flames, with flames seeping through the glass and igniting the seats and other contents.

Fortunately, a collapse occurred later, and the two floors above ground collapsed, covering the basement tightly and even blocking the escape route, thus suffocating most of the flames.The inside of the white beast was burned, but it was not completely burned, nor did it spread to the mechanical control part, and its outer shell was fireproof.The main mechanical parts of the White Beast have been completely preserved, and only the frame and interior are broken.

Of course, after the fire, it was completely black, and the top was flattened, making it appear shorter than before.

"Well, it's the best-preserved thing after the explosion. The old ones from the army are stronger, and the others are worse." Doyle rubbed his chin and said, "This car should still be repairable, but it's If you put it together, maybe you can replace those that are more damaged and put it back together."

"Our store needs a new one, but the staff brought it over, and this car is processed as usual. Its power system and control system..." Zhuang Xuteng suddenly thought of the origin of this car, especially the gasoline engine inside. It was the Baiqi grocery store Boss Qian directly "changed" him into it.He scratched his head and said, "It's not easy to repair, and ordinary people should not be able to repair it."

"Kelly got this car for you, right? I heard that her skills are good, but she's not the only one in the world, right?"

"The power system of this car was modified later, but unfortunately the master who modified the car is gone." Zhuang Xuteng sighed, and said, "Pull it back first, I have to find a skilled master for it, so there is no need to worry too much." .Go buy another car and drive it... Doyle, do you know the gasoline car of the Bentu Motor Company? Is that car hard to buy now?"

"Bentu...Bentu...I really want to hear someone mention it, let me think about it." Doyle stroked the white hair on the top of his head, as if he could dig out his memory. "It seems to be the name of the company that stole the technology and was seized. I'm not sure, you'd better ask someone again. To be honest, I'm not very good at cars. I always feel that the cars on the market are all the same. : fragile and weak, not as good as military vehicles.”

"Military vehicles are good, and the armor is better..." Zhuang Xuteng said perfunctorily, but he was thinking about the Bentu Automobile Factory in his heart.It was seized?The reason for using or stealing technology?It sounds likely to have something to do with Zhuang Teng's death.Whoever is reaping the greatest benefits from stealing gasoline engine vehicle technology will be the most suspected of killing Zhuang Teng.

For Viper, he cooperated with Ge Gongdao in acting, but he didn't know the news at the first time.It's never too late to know now, and it's never too late to take revenge.Zhuang Xuteng remained calm on the surface, keeping this matter in his heart.
