Gunfire, Punk & Necromancers

"It's time for daily hits again. What I bring to you today is a popular song, "The Last Punk" by Bai Moji. I know, I know, everyone has heard this song, and they will probably say: Old John , can't you play another song? Oh, no, I love this song so much! Every time I bring the Mengwu experience machine, I will choose it as the background sound, which can greatly increase the comfort of Mengwu . Haha, maybe you are ready to bring Mengwu now and immerse yourself in the beautiful singing voice of Bai Moji. Please enjoy "The Last Punk"..."

Zhuang Xuteng nodded and was about to listen to music when a series of noises appeared on the car radio. The sizzling sound completely destroyed the rhythm and beauty of the music, causing Zhuang Xuteng to raise his hand and knock several times.

After being beaten, he became honest. Bai Moji's music pours out from the speakers, making people unable to help but sway back and forth to the beat. However, there is always some electromagnetic noise in the background, which has an impact on people like Zhuang Xuteng who have enhanced hearing. He was thinking about buying an album by Bai Moji when he got home and listening to it carefully on a good stereo.

Suddenly, the car shook, and then the engine compartment began to bump up and down. Zhuang Xuteng unfolded the Wraith Jelly and found that the problem was with the steam turbine. After continuous long-distance driving, it could no longer be disguised, and some of its internal components were shattered under the influence of metal fatigue, with fragments bouncing around inside.

Zhuang Xuteng quickly reduced the speed and placed the main source of power on the motor. Based on the current remaining power, the car can still run forty to fifty kilometers. You have to go to the next service area and then contact the car repair shop. If it's easy to repair, then repair it. If it's not, then sell it to a car repair shop at a discount and replace it with another one yourself.

"Or take a ride."

Ten kilometers later, Zhuang Xuteng came to this place called "Ten Kilometers Coal and Steel United City Rest Stop." If you go all the way from the exit, you will find a satellite city with coal and iron mines and steel plants as its core. Mineral production satellite cities like this are always close to mines, so there is no way to choose the distance between it and a big city. If there is no car repair shop here - which is basically impossible - then there won't be another one within a hundred kilometers.

Zhuang Xuteng's car slowly walked down the ramp, and a police car passed by him. When the two cars were parallel, the police officer sitting in the passenger seat rolled down the window and stretched out his hand to signal Zhuang Xuteng to do the same. It was a middle-aged policeman with a goatee, color-changing sunglasses, and a humming tone. "Young man, what are you doing here? Why are you driving so slowly?"

"The car is broken down, and the steam engine is dripping. I'm driving it with an electric motor now, and I want to see if I can find a repair shop here."

The police officer listened carefully and then nodded: "The sound of the engine is indeed wrong. After you go down, turn right, pass through the woods, and take the road between the trees. There will be a garage about 200 meters to the left. You are an outsider, tell them you know Officer Malov and they will not charge you any money."

"Ah! Thank you so much, Officer Malov." Zhuang Xuteng also saw the officer's badge at this time and said, "Please give me a chance to express my gratitude."

"Ha, it's not worth mentioning." Officer Malov smiled and said: "If you need anything else, come to the coffee shop at ten o'clock. I will rest there. The people here are very simple and kind, Don’t cause trouble here, you hear me?”

Zhuang Xuteng smiled kindly and nodded vigorously.

The repair shop workers said that it only takes four to six hours to fix a troublesome problem for ordinary people. Their efficiency was based on ample tips and the name of Police Officer Malov. Zhuang Xuteng asked them to check the vehicle carefully to avoid encountering this kind of thing again halfway.

Four to six hours is much better than expected, and there is no need to think about spending money on another car. Zhuang Xuteng decided to take a good rest, so he picked up his things and walked a few hundred meters to the coffee shop the police officer pointed out. This cafe called "Hot Dream" is very unique. Its four walls are made of three red buses and a train carriage. The wheels are removed, the height is adjusted, and then they are surrounded by a "hui" shape, and then Then a roof is installed in the center to form a complete building. The main entrance of the cafe is the original entrance of the bus, and the display window is the bus window.

When you open the door, the bell above your head makes a clear "ding-dong" sound, accompanied by the slow old-time dance music in the cafe. There were not many people in the store, less than ten customers, including Officer Malov and his partner. Under the slightly dim light, the waitress in a brown apron raised her head and glanced at Zhuang Xuteng, then avoided her eyes, wiped the table with a rag, and took the opportunity to lean towards the police officer.

Vigilant, clever, and a girl who knows how to protect herself. With a smile on his face, Zhuang Xuteng walked straight to the police officer and expressed his gratitude to Officer Malov again. He stood in the aisle where two police officers were sitting, and he told them that he was going to stay there for half a day while he waited for the car to be repaired.

"There are good synthetic steaks here, with local seasonings added, you can try it. In addition, the coffee and waffles are good, especially the nut waffles." Officer Malov pointed to the empty seat next to him with his chin and said: "Why are you carrying things all the time? You're so tired. Sit down and rest!"

"Okay!" Zhuang Xuteng threw the bag into the seat, then raised his hand and motioned to the waitress: "Steak set, half a pot of coffee, double sugar without milk, and two nut waffles - one of which is for the police officer. , thank him for helping me."

The waitress relaxed a little and finally smiled at Zhuang Xuteng. "Wait a moment, I'll get ready."

Hot coffee was served first, and the sweet taste was refreshing. Zhuang Xuteng took a sip and felt that the sweetness was still not enough, so he opened the sugar packet on the table and added some to the cup. He still insists on exercising and cultivating his magic power every day, which consumes a lot of energy and needs to be replenished in time. In addition, after eating "unlimited porridge" for more than half a year, my mouth has long faded away. He hasn't eaten enough sweets these days.

"Young man, where are you going?" Officer Malov turned sideways and asked.

"Oh, I'm going to Peicheng." Zhuang Xuteng put down his coffee and said, "I looked at the map. Not too far ahead, turn east at the 4A78 overpass, and then you can run all the way to Peicheng."

"The route is correct, but there may be something going on over there over the overpass. Hey, you are just waiting here for the car to be repaired, you can avoid it completely." Officer Malov took the nut muffin from the waitress, smiled at Zhuang Xuteng, and said : "Try it, local specialties."

Zhuang Xuteng took a bite of the muffin, and an unfamiliar taste spread in his mouth. Since I don’t know the type of nuts inside, and there is no local flavor memory buff, I can’t say whether this waffle is delicious or not. I just know that it is not poisonous and is safe to eat. Zhuang Xuteng put on an expression of admiration, then changed the subject and said: "Officer, I feel like you are a local." "Yes, I am from the town, and I walk around the town every day. I will do the rounds in the morning and leave it to others in the evening. . I eat lunch here every noon, and I have been doing this for 17 years!”

Zhuang Xuteng nodded, then looked at the clock on the wall. The time now is 9:51 a.m., which is still quite a while before lunch break. "Why did you take an early lunch break today?"

"Haha, the young man really can't speak. If you weren't always polite, I would be angry." Officer Malov shook his head and said: "I am still at work. There is an order from above to suspend patrol and rest nearby. .”

"Eh? This is the first time I've encountered this kind of thing. Isn't this equivalent to a paid break?" Zhuang Xuteng widened his eyes and asked, "Does this happen often? What are the conditions for giving such a good vacation? ?”

"Hey, how can there be anything good in this world! Take a rest now, something may not happen later, and you will probably have to work overtime." Officer Malov rolled his eyes and said: "Generally, we little policemen are not allowed to go there. Nine times out of ten, the people above want to do something and don’t want to be disturbed by us. To be honest, how can we do that?”

Zhuang Xuteng became alert. What the police call "above" usually refers to companies. It is obvious that companies are operating nearby. Keeping police, government personnel and news media out of the way in advance can save a lot of trouble.

Will it come towards me? Zhuang Xuteng didn't dare to be sure, let alone deny it. He sat down and took advantage of the meal time to think about countermeasures. He had to prepare for the worst possibility, so he had to assume it was relevant to him.

'If it's coming at me, it means my whereabouts have been exposed. After I came out this time, I used the identity of Sen Gang, but I didn't take the initiative to go online. I paid in cash. Uh, is it at a used car store? Did the shop owner sound like he was farting, or did he put my information online? If I had known better, I should have let the execution puppet do the work. After the car is ready, just put the puppet...wait, puppet? '

'Zhuang Xuteng, Zhuang Xuteng, you are such an idiot! Is it stupid to be alone in the film world? Have you forgotten that executing a puppet can be controlled remotely, and remote control is equivalent to being connected to the Internet? Zhuang Xuteng speeded up his meal, feeling more and more that the puppet executioner had leaked information about him. 'It was exposed from the second-hand car lot, and then the company came to intercept it, and notified the surrounding police in advance to leave... Calculating the time, it seems to be about the same. No, I have to be ready for battle. '

Assuming that he has been exposed, then the things he ate, rested and repaired his car in this coffee shop must have also been exposed. After Zhuang Xuteng finished eating, he put down the tableware and picked up paper to wipe his mouth. He nodded and smiled, thanked Officer Malov for recommending delicious food to him, and asked him where he could take a nap.

"The hotel is in the town behind. It takes more than 40 minutes to walk. Didn't you say that the car can be repaired in a few hours? Why not just sleep on the seat here! After a short trip, everyone can watch it while listening to soothing music. Holding you."

Zhuang Xuteng scratched his head and said, "Okay. Let's walk to the hotel. The round trip takes too long, so I'll just sleep here."

He stood up, brought the bag to the counter, and asked the waiter to put it in the bar as a storage. Then he took out the banknotes and ordered a drink for everyone present, or helped them settle part of the bill. "I've just eaten and I can't lie down. I'm going to go for a walk. Help me take care of the things and we'll pay the bill together when I leave."

The coffee shop doesn't offer credit, but Zhuang Xuteng took out his wallet just now, so he obviously has money. The money he paid for the drinks alone exceeded the price of the set meal, coffee and muffins. In addition, he also had a handbag as collateral and the car was in the garage, so the waitress made an exception and agreed to settle the bill before he left.

Zhuang Xuteng rubbed his stomach and walked out of the coffee shop, turned the corner, confirmed that he was not under the camera, and immediately entered stealth mode. With the help of the shadow of the building, Zhuang Xuteng moved towards the highway. He was going to secretly take a ride to take a look ahead. But he quickly stopped because there was a sturdy Blood Raven 40k motorcycle parked in the middle of the parking lot on the right.

The tentacles of the resentful spirit stretched out and helped all the cameras to turn in a direction to avoid motorcycles and the entrance to the highway. Zhuang Xuteng used a little mercenary trick to start the motorcycle and rush onto the highway. According to regulations, he could only drive in the emergency lane, but since he was riding someone else's car, he was naturally not afraid of the speed limit.

Shadows cover his face, hiding his appearance, and the tentacles of the resentful spirits arrange their equipment and get ready for battle. Zhuang Xuteng believed that the company was probably ambushing ahead and would definitely be watching his car. Secondly, it would definitely identify the target based on the strength of the shadow. Therefore, he used the shadow to change the style and color of his clothes, and used the Thousand Eyes Cloak to block the shadow's energy reaction. In order to better confuse the enemy, he only covered the shadow energy signal from his head and waist down.

His eyes are the Eyes of Kaho, and there are high-speed and high-burst implants below the waist. Their shadows have the highest energy level and are the easiest to expose the target. As for what's inside the body, there's no risk in a complete set of drug filtering implants. Although it's not common, it's not that rare either. Especially compared to having no implant signal at all, showing a little signal is the best way to hide yourself.

After turning over the elevated overpass, the highway heading east is flat. Zhuang Xuteng stretched out four sensing tentacles forward. One of them was directly in front of him, constantly checking the people he was about to pass. One of them was on the opposite side of the road, checking the people who were about to cross him. The third one was behind him, checking who was faster than him. Just check who's there; the last one is held high, constantly scanning the sky for anyone approaching from this area.

After a while, he noticed an approaching heavy transport helicopter. Judging from the movement trajectory, it should come from Peicheng. The current heading can be said to be facing itself, or it can be said to be approaching the rest area with a cafe.

The Eye of Kaho adjusts the focus and quickly captures the details of the helicopter: Dingxin Mochuang - Okay, it's you again, you unlucky kid, why is it endless...

Zhuang Xuteng was speechless. Don't you think you, Dingxin Mochuang, should concentrate on making money? You caught two people dead and have been chasing them till now? Kaho struck first, okay, I fought back in self-defense. I was indeed the one who made the first move on Isabella, but she went there first and did no good, so I couldn't just let her take her to the company without knowing it, right?
Focus your mana on a sentient tentacle and bring it as close to the helicopter as possible. According to the energy response of the shadow slave, there were seven enhanced people sitting on the plane, and each of them was at least as good as Isabella. The key strengthening parts of two of them are on the head, which feels much stronger than Nightingale, Rock Area and Meteor. The two men have been activating their brain implants and connecting to the Internet through the communication station built in the aircraft. Well, if I don't get rid of these guys, I will never have peace.

what can we do about it? Zhuang Xuteng thought for a moment and came up with a plan.
