Gunfire, Punk & Necromancers

Chapter 616 Chapter 613 Loss of interest
Prepared and unprepared, coupled with the overwhelming strength, it is natural for the victory to be firmly in the bag. Nightingale and Yanque had already thought about how to complete this internal flowering. They took Lao Mo's intelligence officer as a key target and ambush weapons to deal with him in advance. When Nightingale found an excuse to ask Yanque to leave the conference room, and then conveyed the news to her that the battle had taken place, Yanque immediately took action.

All it took was a flaw in the electronic code lock, silent boots, and a sharp dagger to kill the intelligence officer who was still dealing with cyberattacks on the information system. They had long known that the intelligence officer's implant was quite good, and they were full of imagination about Naike's ability to deal with corpse implants. Therefore, Yanque avoided the vital points of the head when he started, and adopted the method of wiping the throat and stabbing the heart. method of killing.

"Done!" Yanque patted the dead intelligence officer's forehead and started to pull off the stinging probes one by one. These magnetic probes automatically retract back into the skull and are implanted into the body, and then the scalp can be manually closed again and sprayed with disinfectant liquid.

Four floors away, Zhuang Xuteng clearly "saw" this scene with his sensory tentacles and immediately understood it. Nowadays, he no longer needs to touch the corpse with his own hands to solve the problem of accumulated resentment. Necromancy creations can solve this problem from a distance. It was better this way. He took care of the body from a distance, just so he could pretend that he didn't take action at all, so as not to expose his ability.

Nightingale and Rock Bird turned out not to be traitors, which made him feel very good.

With the intelligence officer down and Lao Mo's middleman-mercenary network dead, Nightingale and Rockbird effortlessly hand over control of it to Meteor. In this way, Lao Mo's mercenaries outside were also exposed, and Lucy could plan targeted actions to maximize benefits.

About twenty minutes later, Lucy's other mercenaries began to move in to take over the situation. By this time, Zhuang Xuteng was so bored sitting quietly with Lao Mo's former mercenaries and employees that his buttocks began to itch. "Leave it to you," Zhuang Xuteng clapped his hands and walked straight through the supporting mercenaries. He walked down the stairs to the intelligence officer's room and found the two sisters who were busy.

"The scarecrow is here!" Nightingale saw Zhuang Xuteng, smiled and waved hello. "Yanque is coordinating the data and can't leave the network for a while. It's really a big success this time. Lao Mo has no chance to start his escape plan. All the funds should still be in their original places and have not been transferred. "

"Okay, this is the result." Zhuang Xuteng glanced at the corpse on the ground. Although he knew that the person was Lao Mo's intelligence officer, he still pretended to ask: "Why is it not restricted to cleaning? There is a pool of blood on the ground. Will it affect surrounding video slave device codes?”

"That's Lao Mo's intelligence officer. His intelligence spy implant is of very good quality. Can you take a look at it?"

"I don't see any difference. Just cut it off and take it for identification." Zhuang Xuteng shook his head and said, "Lucy asked me to take care of you during the operation, but I really can't take care of it. I see that you are all fine. , I’m relieved. You continue to work, I’ll go back and hand in the task.”

"Aren't you going to stay and take a look at Lao Mo's treasury?"

Zhuang Xuteng shook his head. He knew what the nightingale was implying. As a front-line operator and the main contributor, it makes sense to take a copy from the vault after opening it. Only Zhuang Xuteng takes the lead, and others can get some souvenirs. As long as everyone only grabs a handful, Lucy won't care.

"We have seen many vaults. A middleman will not be richer than the gang leader. I am not interested." Zhuang Xuteng said: "Brother Dao and I made an appointment to go to dinner. It seems that the time is about the same. It's time to set off."

"So you moved ahead so you could catch up with the meal?" Nightingale sighed and said, "If Old Mo knew..."

"Old Mo doesn't know. Even if he knows, the result will be the same. Nightingale, take care of your sister, and take care of yourself."

"How about re-forming the team? With intelligence support, your abilities can be maximized."

Zhuang Xuteng shook his head. "I thought about it just now. It's good that you didn't abandon Lucy. Coming to Lao Mo is also part of the overall plan, so there's no problem, but we can't form a team anymore. You didn't tell us about such an important action. I, directly implemented it, can only say that you put the intermediary's delegation at a higher priority than the team. I don't know what you think, but you obviously think it is risky to tell me about this. If you don’t believe in my ability to keep secrets, maybe you think my acting skills can’t match yours… Anyway, that’s it!”

Nightingale wanted to explain more, but Zhuang Xuteng just waved his hand and turned away. She chased him a few steps, but in the blink of an eye, she lost sight of Zhuang Xuteng who walked into the stairwell. Nightingale stamped her foot heavily and checked the stairs above and below again with some disbelief. Scarecrow Nack has indeed disappeared.

"It's just that we didn't succeed this time." Nightingale sighed and turned back. She also had to protect Yanque, and at the same time she had to keep an eye on the body to make sure she didn't lose her intelligence implant.

Zhuang Xuteng walked down the stairs to leave the apartment building. He would inevitably pass by ordinary people who did not belong to Lao Mo's influence. They didn't know or care about what happened on the 9th floor, and most of them were even unaware of it. Their attention is focused on their own things, such as the 21% discount on protein flour in the "Friendly Uncle Wang" store, what time will be the live broadcast of the boxing match tomorrow, and what time will the public work station on the st floor be called? How many more will it take for it to be my turn?

A middleman managed more than forty mercenaries and about the same number of employees. His death would only affect the distance of a few floors. Beyond this distance, everything remains the same and nothing changes.

This made Zhuang Xuteng wonder: If he died, how much impact would it have? He counted on his fingers, a calculation that didn't even take two hands. At this time, he suddenly realized that his influence on the outside world was actually very limited, and he had no ability to bargain with the company. To kill him, the pressure the company would have to bear would be completely negligible. He could no longer think that he could influence the company's decision-making simply by not making mistakes or being exposed without doing anything.

He thinks he is very strong, and if the company doesn't know it, it means he is not strong; if he shows the company that he is strong, he will probably be eliminated as a threat, but he is still not strong enough...

Zhuang Xuteng stopped on the stairs. He found that he had entered a loop. This loop is called: The company wants you to die and does not need to consider your opinions. In fact, after he killed Lao Mo, the company's observers appeared one by one. They arrived fifteen minutes earlier than the people Lucy sent for support. After that, a familiar face arrived at the same time as the support staff: Elizabeth Shaw, and her action team. The woman didn't leave. She was still in Peicheng and secretly arrived near the apartment building. What this means - Zhuang Xuteng thought of it before taking action - Elizabeth Xiao is going to take advantage of the chaos to kill him, and she should be able to do it without anyone noticing.

"The most expensive mercenary in Peicheng was killed and died of arrogance." Zhuang Xuteng could already imagine how things would develop. Elizabeth Xiao could completely destroy the scene and kill Lao Mo's people together, resulting in a tragic scene in which Naike fell into a bitter fight and eventually died together. To be honest, if she didn't worry about Morgana's subsequent thoughts and possible actions, Elizabeth Shaw wouldn't even need to fake the scene at all.

At present, Elizabeth Xiao has no plans to show up, but is just listening to the reports from various observers. This is good news, indicating that Elizabeth Xiao will most likely wait for the next opportunity. The question is, will she keep waiting if she can't find an opportunity? Must she wait for an opportunity?

His influence is too small, and he has no chance to show his actual combat effectiveness. There is a dead end ahead. Zhuang Xuteng realized a truth: Unless you become a member of the company, there is no rule in the world that "as long as you do this, as long as you don't do that, the company will not keep an eye on you." From the day it killed Kaho, the company had already made a decision. The only difference was when and how.

what to do? Zhuang Xuteng took another step, walking downward step by step. He thinks he can take a lesson from today's actions: faster than the company. As long as you act earlier than the company, you will have some room to display your abilities and mobilize your enemies instead of waiting for them to come and beat you. Elizabeth Xiao's appearance today with her action team means that the company has murderous intentions, and the delaying tactic of "not giving the company a reason to take action" will definitely not work. Then Zhuang Xuteng can only let go of his hands and feet, move faster than the company, and try to create opportunities.

"Opportunity? What opportunity?" Zhuang Xuteng was actually not sure. "Stay alive so that everyone can survive. This is all I can think of at the moment."

How to do it? Only by mobilizing the company's strength as much as possible and consuming their resources, it is best to find the company's weaknesses and attack them. Zhuang Xuteng thought carefully. He still believed that the power of an individual was too small, and the best result in the end was still to strive for a balance. This balance can be the balance of costs and benefits within Dingxin Magic, or the balance of power between other companies and Dingxin Magic.

Maybe you can let other companies recruit you, which is indeed a way out for individuals. This has happened before, for example, a mercenary suddenly came to work in a company, or a gang leader suddenly became a middle-level manager of the company. For ordinary people, joining a company means a double harvest of income and social status, which is worth selling something, including dignity. It's just that Zhuang Xuteng doesn't want to sell anything, and he vaguely feels that this road is not feasible for him.

There are too many secrets hidden in him, and the Lich Master alone is enough to give the company 10,000 reasons to dissect him alive. Zhuang Xuteng frowned because he couldn't see the future, but this did not affect his actions. It's like long-distance running: you don't know whether you can see the end point before running, and you can't see the end point most of the time during the run. Even the joy of victory cannot make people forget the fatigue and hardship in the process, but it can't disturb Zhuang Xuteng. Decide to go and keep moving your legs.

Let’s run first, even if we never see the finish line and end up exhausted! Anyway, if you sit still, you will definitely die. Zhuang Xuteng has no choice in this world.

The door leading to the ground opened in front of him, and the setting sun mixed with the neon lights happened to shine over, dazzling Zhuang Xuteng's eyes for a moment. He stayed in the room for a long time, and the red sunlight outside made him feel rejuvenated for a moment. But this beam of light quickly disappeared into the shadow of the steel forest. He was just on the first floor, at the bottom of the steel forest, and this beam of sunlight brought him a hint of care and warmth in the gap.

Zhuang Xuteng exhaled slowly, rubbed the wrinkles between his eyebrows with his fingers, put on a smile, and strode towards Gonggong Road.

Brother Dao, who had completed his surveillance mission early, squatted boredly next to the white beast, scrolling through entertainment programs on his mobile phone, with a silly smile on his big face. Prince was still observing the surrounding situation vigilantly, but she was also a little bored and leaned on the steering wheel. Zhuang Xuteng stepped forward and quickly thanked the two for their assistance.

"Thank you, we didn't do anything." Brother Dao put away the phone, pointed at it, and said, "How do you feel?"

"I don't feel anything. I'm neither excited nor happy, but a little disappointed..." Zhuang Xuteng touched his chin and said: "I suddenly understood why the master was so anxious to wash his hands. He probably felt that there were no challenges in the mercenary industry and there would be no more success. The sense of satisfaction, and having earned enough money, just..."

"Why, are you ready to retire too?"

"I'm a little confused. I'm still very young, and the topic of retirement seems a bit early. And what should I do? Is there anything more exciting than mercenaries?" Zhuang Xuteng thought for a while and said: "Besides, Lucy's I may still need to be in charge, so I can’t leave now.”

Ge Gongdao narrowed his eyes, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and then expressed his thoughts: "You also know that I don't have much challenge on the other side of the moat. As soon as this bad thing happened today, I knew that I was an eyesore. Of course I am prepared to leave early. I have told the board of directors and the takeover committee about this idea. It is very likely that I will not need to be a teacher for three or five years.”

Zhuang Xuteng's eyes lit up, he already understood Brother Dao's thoughts. "So, it's possible for the two of us to team up again and have some excitement together?"

"It's very possible." Ge Gongdao knew immediately that Zhuang Xuteng understood.

"I'm going to talk to Lucy. Even if I can't quit hard, I'll quit softly first. Hum, I'll increase the appearance fee to 100 million... no, 200 million. I'm still here, but I'm not here. Wait until Lucy doesn't If you need me, I will leave officially.”

"Twenty million? You might as well get 500 million. Anyway, after this battle, no one in the middleman-mercenary industry dares to question this price. Any middleman who dares to say something bad must think about how Lao Mo was surprised by you alone. Killed." Ge Gongdao knew when Zhuang Xuteng took action, so he saw the moment when the glass shattered, but he could only see an afterimage, and he couldn't figure out how Zhuang Xuteng jumped to such a high place.

"Five hundred million? Okay, no one will really pay this money anyway, just make a name for yourself!"
