Gunfire, Punk & Necromancers

Chapter 355 Chapter 352
Using the action of joining the anti-riot strike team in exchange for survival, after thinking about it carefully, is indeed a feasible solution.Although to achieve this, you need to have good connections in both the PCPD and the anti-riot strike team. The two sides must cooperate and respond quickly. It seems that these are not difficult for Mike.But whether he can survive in the end depends on whether the other party will stop.If you really want to kill him, whether it's going to his house to squat, or ambushing him during missions, there are always many ways.

Lucy's answer to this part of the question is as follows: "The people who want to kill him are afraid of his weird ability to dig out the inside story of the case. Now that he has left the post of detective and went to charge the riot squad, this part of the threat no longer exists. This Mike, who has already made a statement of begging for mercy and letting go with practical actions, coupled with the deterrence of the riot strike team, he has the hope of surviving."

"If you still want to kill him, the anti-riot strike team will definitely retaliate for the safety of all its members. At this time, it is necessary to weigh the stakes between avenging the dead killer and stopping the loss." Lucy said: "In short Well, Mike won a chance of survival, I hope he will have a good result."

Zhuang Xuteng frowned and shook his head slowly, and said, "If Mike is alive, will the trouble come to me? Everyone knows that the killer cannot be killed with Mike's ability..."

"Didn't you think about this issue when you intervened?" Lucy tapped her finger on the table and said.

"I thought about it, but it was a dilemma at the time. Let Mike be killed, and the case Mike is investigating will become a clue. PCPD has the habit of taking notes. Anyone who finds his notes and sees that the target of his investigation is me, Then I still can't escape the trouble. I imagined that Mike could live for a while, and I wanted to understand the whole story, explain the funeral, and get rid of the suspicion of the 623 case by the way..."

"So that's what you thought about. I thought you were just helping out of kindness, or because your hands were itchy, and you wanted to compete with others." Lucy waved her hand and said, "The middleman has a way to deal with the troubles later. As long as no one knows you did it, it's as if it didn't happen. But you have to pay attention to two things in the future: the work of cleaning up the traces costs money, not all troubles can be cleaned up, it is best to book the service early, Lest it be too late."

"There are three points to pay attention to."

"It is indeed three points—it seems that you have heard it and remembered it." Lucy rubbed her hands and said, "I will pay attention to the follow-up impact of the 623 case. If the PCPD does not continue to investigate, then this matter will be over." .You go back and take a good rest, there are no tasks that need you recently."

"Ge Gongdao and I have lowered the price."

"I know. The two of you want more tasks, but you can't be sent to squat for a client, right?" Lucy sighed, and said, "The problem now is not that I don't have a job, but that I'm too busy. The analysis and support capabilities have reached their limits. I am trying to find a way to get rid of some guys who are too focused and concentrate the limited support capabilities. During this time, you should relax for a while."

"Okay. I hope you finish the rectification soon. By the way, the house problem..."

"Look, I have a lot of things here, right?" Lucy waved her hand and said, "I'm helping you replace the set you're optimistic about. Go back and wait for the news. The original head of the household has to move out. Who told you not to look forward to it?" Brand new?"

"The one I like has a better environment...Okay, I won't bother you anymore, you are busy, you are busy..."

Lucy was really busy, so busy that she felt like she couldn't get all the work done even with all her powers.I thought it would be possible to maintain the work balance by doubling the number of mercenaries and service personnel on both sides and expanding the scale simultaneously, but in fact it was not the same thing at all. Doubling the mercenaries brought at least three times the workload.

The biggest problem lies with Lucy herself.She can recruit mercenaries and service personnel, but cannot recruit another self.All matters involving confidentiality must be handled by herself, and the command of mercenary missions and auxiliary operations must also be in her hands, because if there is any problem, she will be ultimately responsible.If the command center is not enough, the efficiency of everyone's actions will be reduced, and the possibility of risks will increase accordingly.Any minor issues require extra attention, which further adds to the stress of the job.

She doesn't want to find a partner, Meteor is not a suitable successor, and her "small group" is destined to be unable to operate with dual cores.She had no choice but to reduce her manpower and "invite" some mercenaries out.During this process, she needs to be very cautious in her operations, and it is best to be kind and friendly so that all parties are satisfied.Not all mercenaries are like Zhuang Xuteng and Ge Gongdao who can be moral and behave in any situation. Some people usually look good, but when they encounter situations, they may not know what kind of moths will happen.

Lucy must be prepared for the worst, and Ge Gongdao and Zhuang Xuteng are one of her means of pressing the bottom of the box.Because of this, when Zhuang Xuteng said that he needed finishing services, she would immediately send someone over to finish those things as quickly as possible.Regarding the difficulties she is currently encountering, including the need to lay off staff, she does not hide it from Zhuang Xuteng, so that he can be fully mentally prepared.Only in this way, when she needs emergency help, Zhuang Xuteng's action efficiency will be higher.

These are indeed calculations, but they are not conspiracy.Zhuang Xuteng and Ge Gongdao actually knew very well in their hearts that as a middleman, Lucy could be said to be "overly caring" for these mercenaries.Especially for Ge Gongdao, he has no intermediary for a long time. He has worked for many intermediaries and understands the state of this industry.Most of the middlemen—or normal middlemen—are the bosses and overseers, and a small number of poor ones are simply slave owners like the middleman Steyer between Nightingale and Chaffinch.

Since Lucy said clearly that she was too busy, Zhuang Xuteng and Ge Gongdao enjoyed their leisure.They prefer to operate with sufficient intelligence and logistical support rather than relying on improvisation.So it seems like the right time to open an implant care shop, they've all put money, effort and hope into it, and of course taking good care of it.

The manager of the implant shop is still Doyle. He is tall, strong and old, and his whole appearance looks like the type that is proficient in handling all kinds of tedious chores.Zhuang Xuteng and others hid behind the scenes, and together they applied for VIP cards from 2 to 5 implanted in the body shop.As for the No. [-] VIP card, it must belong to Lucy, and she doesn't need to pay for it.

Zhuang Xuteng bought VIP cards No. 6 and No. 7. He prepared one for Morgana and the other for Meteor.Considering that Meteor is still afraid to go out, this card may never be used, but Zhuang Xuteng has to give it away, after all, there are human feelings in it.

"If there is a chance to bring Meteor here, she should be very happy, right?"

Based on the simple idea that serving the intelligence personnel well is equivalent to buying more lives for himself, Zhuang Xuteng has very high requirements for the implant maintenance shop.The best equipment is used, and the auxiliary drugs, equipment and consumables are selected with the most guaranteed effect. Even the training of service personnel is in accordance with the hospital's standards.At this time, the effect of his painstaking reading of books related to Lankey's disease appeared. He not only explained clearly to the operators why each step was done, but also put forward improvement requirements, making the store look extra professional.

The best employee in the store was Dr. Truth Booker, now known as Lando Guy, or Old Guy Guy.He has real talents and knowledge, and is also familiar with laboratory operating procedures.Although he has no medical experience, following the rules and operating safely are the same principles, and he is more used to a stricter environment.Especially when he saw Zhuang Xuteng again, he immediately guessed that this was his property, so he couldn't help but pay more attention.After his observation, he thought that Zhuang Xuteng, Ge Gongdao and others were the mercenary squad that rescued him from the company prison, and he immediately felt awe again.

He still doesn't know how he was rescued.

Continuing the good habit of sticking to it for a lifetime, the old man took notes diligently, and wrote down all the details of the equipment operation.Because he had more basic knowledge, he soon discovered that Zhuang Xuteng's knowledge of implant diseases was astonishing, far exceeding the level that a mercenary could master in a day-to-day manner.Combined with several meetings with Zhuang Xuteng before, he speculates that Zhuang Xuteng started as a medical student, and then transferred to the mercenary industry.

He made up a lot of things in his head, and these unfounded information made it more difficult for him to leave the current group.He knew he couldn't go back as Truth Booker, and even if he did, his family wouldn't recognize him because of the plastic surgery, voice change, and implant fillers that changed his body and smell.He only asked Zhuang Xuteng for one thing: find out about his family's situation so that he can feel at ease.

This request is not too much. It is enough to find a local mercenary to do a little investigation through an intermediary, which can also improve confidentiality.However, Zhuang Xuteng also warned him that although no one would stop him from leaving, once he left, he would not be able to come back. They would act as if they had never seen him before, and would not provide any help.

"On the other hand, if you're sure you want to leave, just tell me and I'll give you some money." Zhuang Xuteng said, "To put it bluntly, it's the money you wanted to use to pay for getting out of prison. It's yours." Money, regardless of the benefits or risks in it, is yours, and I am not greedy."

What to do in the end is left to the doctor himself to decide, but at this stage he dare not face the risk alone.In this way, the old man Gai stayed, and with the most proficient operation, he became the "top brand" of the implant maintenance shop.As for Zhuang Xuteng, he belongs to the hidden menu, which is only operated by VIP customers who are particularly familiar with it.

Before opening, everyone in the team and Doyle enjoyed the implant maintenance service provided by Zhuang Xuteng, and everyone felt better than ever.Zhuang Xuteng cheated as a matter of course. The absorption of grievances from necromancy is the fundamental reason why this group of people feel good. The maintenance equipment and medicine only play a supporting role.Among them, Nightingale and Rock Sparrow had known Zhuang Xuteng's superb skills for a long time, so they didn't show any surprise.Ge Gongdao has dormant martial arts close to him, and his physical fitness is good. The accumulation of side effects is extremely small, and he doesn't feel much.Due to various reasons, Doyle accumulated quite a lot of side effects, and after being taken care of by Zhuang Xuteng, he immediately became refreshed.

"Is the technology so advanced now?" Doyle's eyes widened, and he said, "This is better than my professional maintenance in the army and boxing club! If we can maintain this level, we can even crush the work of the hospital! "

"We have made progress, and the hospital is also developing, or it will be better." Zhuang Xuteng said to Doyle: "The fact that several major companies and the constitutional government can release this industry shows that they are fully sure that we cannot really pose a threat. .So don’t think about doing good things to overthrow others to make a lot of money, and maintain the store first. And the other people in the store are not as good as me.”

"That's true..." Doyle said with a smile: "If you change your career to do this, you won't make less money. You are quite capable."

"Don't say that, I can only compare it with a novice, and compare it with a professional institution such as a hospital, and I will show my timidity!" Zhuang Xuteng wiped his hands and looked out at the street through the window of the treatment room. "Are there any other implant shops around here? How's the gang going?"

"Yes, there is one three intersections to the east, the distance between the two to the west and the south is five intersections, and the distance to the north is farther, so there is no competition with us. I went to see the one on the west. Those who really do this business, the others are gang industries, and the main business is actually Safety Blue. This area is under the jurisdiction of the Cemetery Gang, and Safety Blue is also theirs."

Zhuang Xuteng nodded and asked, "Have the Cemetery Gang come to look for you?"

"I have been here, and I have dealt with it. I said that I will not participate in any blueprints, and I will not delay their earning money. I have not bothered to argue with them about protection fees. I will pay as much as other people around me pay. Fortunately, the PCPD branch Within two intersections to the north, the possibility of the cemetery gang coming here to make trouble is relatively low."

"PCPD can't even clear the protection fee within two blocks?" Zhuang Xuteng asked with a frown.

"Clean up? Stop joking, I have to pay PCPD a special fee!" Doyle sighed, and said: "Because your hands-on ability is strong enough, what you are most afraid of now is not the gang, but the PCPD. If The business here is good and the treatment effect is good. They will definitely come. If you give cash, it will be fine. Once it becomes an account, it will be troublesome. It turns out that this is the case in the laundry room. It took over the business of washing uniforms from PCPD. As a result, there is a sum of money that has not been returned yet.”

"Then don't keep accounts, and pay in cash." After Zhuang Xuteng finished speaking, he thought about it carefully, and said, "I'm just expressing a suggestion. It's up to you to decide how to do it. You know the things on the street better, and the decision you made more accurate judgment."

Doyle nodded and said, "You can trust me so much and entrust the matter to me, that's great! But I also have selfish intentions, so you have to be on guard against me."

"Your selfish intention is to avenge the drug dealers. I was there, of course I know it very well." Zhuang Xuteng narrowed his eyes and said, "I also have the same idea, but I still have concerns. You can only find a good opportunity. You should ask first. Check out the news, find out the surrounding situation, and you can also ask Nightingale and Rock Sparrow for help, they understand skills. Brother Dao and I have the same needs, we need to find some training partners to improve our martial arts."

"Understood." Doyle smiled with his mouth twisted.
