Gunfire, Punk & Necromancers

"Good shot!" Zhuang Xuteng and Ge Gongdao gave thumbs up at the same time, praising the timely shooting of sisters Nightingale and Rock Sparrow.If they hadn't fired the crucial three shots just now, Xilin Pasha might have escaped from the control network of Zhuang Xuteng and Ge Gongdao by cutting off his tail.

Leaving two feet, in exchange for two less hands that can be used to block, and then use the flexibility of mid-air steering to escape quickly.Once they distanced themselves, it would be very difficult for Zhuang Xuteng and Ge Gongdao to catch her again.In the past, she was able to be blocked by showing the enemy weakness, by taking her by surprise, and by making the enemy overconfident and paralyzed.If it happened again, Xilin Pasha would definitely not attack the two at the same time, and would only have two one-on-one matches.

Although she won't be afraid of her in one-on-one duels, the damage will definitely be greater than now.Ge Gongdao drew out his long knife and was about to cut off her head according to the habit taught by his master, but Zhuang Xuteng suddenly reached out to stop him. "Brother Dao, take the body back in its entirety. She has implants all over her body, and I can use them for experiments."

"Experiment? You're not a scientist..." Brother Dao scratched his head, a little puzzled, but he still put the knife away. "You don't want to dismantle the implant and sell it on the black market, do you?"

"I won't do that kind of harmful thing! The implants of dead bodies have accumulated a lot of side effects, and the rejection reaction is fatal! Brother Dao, I want to continue to study the side effects of implants and see the various changes of Lankey's disease. These implants are just for practice."

"Well, okay. But don't let the cemetery gang find out. If they know that you used the corpse of the nine-headed elder for the experiment, they will never die." Brother Dao held a long knife, looked at the helicopter, and said, "I'll go to check the crash site. Killing people should be done cleanly."

Zhuang Xuteng nodded, and he asked the sisters to continue to maintain electromagnetic suppression until the operation of cleaning the battlefield was completed.And he used the shadow eye to carefully examine Xilin Pasha's body, bypassing the implant, and pierced through the flesh and blood to destroy her brain and ensure that she died completely.

Nightingale drove the car over, and then helped Zhuang Xuteng check whether Xilin Pasha had positioning and communication equipment, while Rock Sparrow went to the helicopter to check.The matter of killing the Nine-Headed Elder must be handled carefully, and the news must not be leaked, otherwise there will be endless troubles.They must first make sure that the murder scene will not attract support from the local area, and then they can ask Lucy to send someone to clean it up.

Two other people in the helicopter, a pilot and what appeared to be a doctor, were both fatally injured in the crash and died shortly after in the cabin.Ge Gongdao checked inside and out to make sure there was no danger here, so he asked everyone to come and gather.

"Nike, help me unload the parts! The most valuable thing on this plane is the high-precision terrain radar. Take it off and transport it to our car."

Zhuang Xuteng nodded, and started to work according to Brother Dao's command.The four of them discussed it, and felt that the nine-headed elder must have come to save people, otherwise they wouldn't have rushed on the road with only a pilot and a doctor.According to their investigation and understanding of the Cemetery Gang, the Nine-Headed Elder would always have four or five bodyguards around him, but this time he didn't see any of them.

For this phenomenon, Ge Gongdao believes that it is related to the upper limit of the helicopter's load.Under normal circumstances, this kind of helicopter can carry two pilots and two pilots, and then six to eight passengers, plus some carry-on luggage.Considering that the besieged people must be rescued by coming over at full speed and falling and rising quickly, the more empty the plane, the better.According to the situation of the plane, they guessed that there were about eight people to be rescued, or a smaller number, but they carried quite valuable and important items with them.

When they disassembled the terrain radar, they found a small safety box. After breaking it open, there were ten platinum coins in it, plus some bank guarantee certificates, which of course went into the team's pockets.There are several bottles of expensive-looking wine in the refrigerator of the plane, and some sealed food that can be stored for a long time.It's a pity that most of these things were broken in the crash, and only a bottle of "Blue Moon Pure Brew" from 20 years ago remained.

"The blue liquid, I don't know if it is mixed with blue crystals, I suggest you don't drink it." Zhuang Xuteng pointed to the medical box on the plane, and said, "You can put safety blue in it, especially in the wine."

"That's right. I don't dare to use this thing myself, and it's not suitable to give it away. It's troublesome to sell it." Ge Gongdao thought for a while, and threw the bottle of wine back into the refrigerator, smashing it together. "Okay, don't worry about it now."

The four of them cleaned up the scene first, collected the valuables, and then bypassed the mission center to directly contact Lucy. "Top secret cleanup service," was all they could say, without revealing another word.

Fortunately, the operation at the Cemetery Gang training base has come to an end. The mercenaries scraped the ground and finally found out the eight-headed elder and the trap master hiding in the shelter.After a fierce battle, the eight elders died in a gang fight, while the two trap masters were captured alive—they were all beaten unconscious, barely alive, and were tied up and stuffed into the ambulance.

A fire ignited the Graveyard mansion, and the fuel included not only the corpses of the Graveyard gang members, but most of the traces of the battle.The mercenaries began to retreat. They stayed away from Peicheng according to the mission center's instructions. They must avoid the gang's eyeliner and return to the city through other safe passages.And Zhuang Xuteng and the others also received instructions to evacuate, and at the same time got a retreat route.

They took a long detour in the wilderness, avoided the highway, entered the city through a dry drainage canal in Peicheng, and returned to the city road from the factory area of ​​an old manufacturing company.A few people hurried to the music restaurant, Ge Gongdao and Chaffinch stayed behind in the car, Zhuang Xuteng and Nightingale went upstairs to find Lucy.

As for killing the nine-headed elder Xilin Pasha, it is only safe to say it face to face.

Hearing the news, Lucy gave Zhuang Xuteng a thumbs up, and then kept shaking it, which didn't seem to be exactly a compliment.After she heard the whole thing, she put her thumb down, and she finally sighed and said, "It's not your fault."

"I think so too." Zhuang Xuteng nodded and said, "No one would have thought that there would be an elder in the helicopter."

"One counts as one. Xilin Pasha must be the one who died the easiest among the leaders of the Peicheng gang. She hurried over, probably to save her daughter, a newly promoted seven-headed elder—she was hiding with the eight-headed elder, and was trapped in the bunker and killed." Lucy said: "According to the documents found at the scene, we can know that the training base was previously run by the eight-headed elder and was about to be handed over, so she performed a demonstration in front of the seven-headed elder who came to take over."

"Each of the seven, eight or nine elders died?"

"Yes. However, no matter how many elders with seven or eight heads die, it will not have as much influence as a nine-headed elder. Moreover, the youngest nine-headed elder died this time. She has the strongest fighting ability and the greatest ambition. She has stood with the executives of Today Group on many occasions."

Zhuang Xuteng frowned slightly, and asked, "Why do I feel that Xilin Pasha is like a viper, standing between the gang and the company, acting as a spokesperson or a white glove?"

"This point is not very clear, because it is very difficult to break into the inside of the gang to understand this level of information. We didn't need to pay such a high price before-but it's different now." Lucy thought for a while, and said: "Let Brother Dao drive to the parking lot and tell the kid there about the water prison parking space. After parking the car, let's go up together - I have something to explain."

After a while, Ge Gongdao and Rock Sparrow came to Lucy's office, and saw her spread out a city map of Peicheng on the desk, and drew many symbols on it with a marker.Zhuang Xuteng and Nightingale stood beside with folded arms, looking at the map intently.

"Brother Dao, we are going to have a good fight with the Graveyard Gang." Zhuang Xuteng raised his hand, pinched his nose, and said, "The four of us have found a big job for the entire mercenary-middleman industry. Lucy named it Revenge of the Graveyard Gang."

Lucy didn't look up, and said while drawing: "The Cemetery Gang will definitely retaliate. After all, the nine-headed elders are their core strength, and they must not die in vain. If they know who did it, they will definitely kill them with overwhelming momentum. Even if they don't know who did it, they will definitely not investigate patiently and carefully verify it. Instead, they will show their strength first and then kill them."

"In this case, we—I mean us are just a few of us, excluding other intermediaries. The most important thing for us is to expand the scale of the battle and create a full-scale war. Several intermediaries in the dismemberment mission must be deeply involved in this incident, and try to pull as many people into the water as possible. We must not be the only suspects, because no intermediary can withstand the attack of the Graveyard Gang alone. Similarly, other leading intermediaries cannot be targeted."

Ge Gongdao hummed, and said, "Yes! If a middleman or mercenary can't bear it any longer, they talk about it randomly, guess that we did it by mistake, and whether the cemetery gang believes it or not, we will be the next target."

"The dismemberment operation must continue. This is my solution." Lucy said: "When the Cemetery Gang fights out, we'll go in. If he demolishes the houses of the middlemen in the city, we'll go and demolish his houses. These are the sites of the Graveyard Gang on the map. These symbols are business premises, manufacturing workshops, warehouses, gang activity venues, and channel hubs..."

"You remember all of them?" Ge Gongdao looked at more than 40 icons on the map - the number is still increasing - and was very surprised.

"No, I got real-time guidance from the intelligence officer." Lucy pointed to her ear, indicating that the earphone was behind the mask. "Before we collected the information of the Cemetery Gang for Palovich's mission, it seems that it was not in vain. I will find an agent to publish these locations and put them in the middleman's information network for free..."

Ge Gongdao rubbed his hands, looking very excited, and said, "Let's keep the best..."

"No, the best ones are basically released. Only by letting more people taste the sweetness can we better dismember the corpse." Lucy said: "Give them the warehouse and the workshop. Our goal is the nine-headed elders."

"Is this okay?" Nightingale felt very frightened.If the target is the Nine-Headed Elder, then she and Yanque will follow Brother Dao and Naike to participate in the operation, and the two sisters are not good at fighting, so it will be difficult to guarantee their own safety. "Although one has been killed, it doesn't affect any of the others. What I mean is: the Nine-Headed Elder himself is very strong, and there are bodyguards."

"Of course I understand this, but think about it carefully, after the Cemetery Gang started to attack, how far will this matter end?" Lucy asked.

"First of all, there can be no negotiation. The middlemen are scattered and cannot be the target of negotiation." Zhuang Xuteng had already thought it through, and explained: "Then it is impossible to mediate. No matter whether it is the gang, the PCPD, or the anti-riot strike unit, none of them wants to stop this battle. Citizens will want a truce, but no one cares what they think."

"The only way is to disintegrate the Graveyard Gang and force the Today Group to take over—whether it's direct support or replacement, it's all feasible." Zhuang Xuteng said: "It doesn't make sense to kill more bottom-level members of the gang. Only by killing the nine-headed elders and causing the Graveyard Gang to become chaotic until everyone sees that it is about to disintegrate will it really lose its ability to fight. Also, I suggest not to do anything to make the riot squad take the blame. Anyway, Palovich wanted to kill the elders of the Graveyard Gang."

"Well, I've thought of this too. Before we paid back the favor and rejected his mission, he went to find someone else, but he missed it... We have to let the Graveyard Gang know about it. We can't know it right away, so we have to make them work harder. Nightingale, rock sparrow, I want to strengthen intelligence work, you follow me first during this time."

Zhuang Xuteng and Ge Gongdao understood Lucy's intentions as soon as they heard it. She wanted to keep Nightingale and Chaffinch steady and prevent the two of them from making mistakes when they were frightened by the possible offensive of the Graveyard Gang and flustered.Stay by your side, do some information work, and avoid facing the front line, which is beneficial to the overall situation.

"We...we have a team. We need to discuss what kind of job we will take. You can't just call us away." Nightingale shook her head and said, "You can issue named tasks, and the remuneration will also take into account the impact on Brother Dao and Naike after the two of us leave."

Naike smiled, and Brother Dao nodded approvingly after hearing this. "Let me have an opinion!" Ge Gongdao waved his hand, showing his big brother status, and said, "The main goal now is to deal with the Cemetery Gang. If it is too detailed, it will reduce the efficiency. In my opinion, Lucy's side is more important. You two should show your strength and don't worry about it. However, Nightingale and Rock Sparrow are still members of our team first. Without them, we can't do our job well."

Lucy nodded and continued, "That's what I mean too. I don't want to dismantle your team, but let Nightingale and Rock Sparrow do odd jobs when you don't find a suitable opportunity to make a phone call. There is no way, their skills are useful at any time, and you two are not so easy to use."

"Yes, yes." Zhuang Xuteng smiled and nodded to the two sisters, reassuring them to play a role on Lucy's side.
