Chapter 232 Chapter 229 Simplicity and Complexity

The commission to track and retrieve items requires speed, Zhuang Xuteng and Ge Gongdao set out immediately and rushed to the address where Baker and Becky called last time.

In front of the two was an 18-story unfinished building. The main structure was built, but only the walls of the lower seven floors were built. The upper eleven floors only had pillars and floor slabs, like a skeleton. There were still posters that had not completely faded on the construction walls around the building. The commercial and residential buildings were full of insults and obscene graffiti, and most of the garbage was covered.

This place was occupied by many homeless people, who looked at Zhuang Xuteng and Ge Gongdao with suspicion and vigilance. Many people hurriedly packed up their things, either hiding them or carrying them with them to avoid being robbed or stolen by these two people.

"If we go in together, the car will be in danger." Just as the residents here don't trust them, they can't trust the residents here: "Nai Ke, I'll keep an eye on the car here, you go in and take a look."

"All the doors of the armored vehicle are locked, and they can't be broken open, don't worry." Zhuang Xuteng smiled and said, "Let's go up together, it's not far. Do you see the wire that is diagonally connected to the third floor? I think we can find something along it."

"Don't worry about your car." Ge Gongdao glared at a homeless man who was secretly watching, and then named the people around him one by one with a fierce look-he believed that this intimidation could at least last for a while. "Let's go in and out quickly."

Quick in and out means jumping directly to the third floor and entering through the window left on the outer wall. Since the light outside can come in directly through the bare door and window frames, the building is not dark, at least it will not affect the search of two people. In fact, this search is not difficult. According to the direction of the wire, they soon saw three containers side by side, and the wire led to the inside.

The surface of the container was mottled, and most of the paint had fallen off, indicating that they had been here for a long time. The area around the box was relatively clean, with no homeless homes and no garbage. It was not that there were no homeless people on this floor, but they all chose to avoid the container to avoid getting themselves or their last belongings close to it.

"This seems to be a modified base of operations - I have also thought of this solution, but I can't solve the problem of water."

"There is a pipe over there, in the shadow of the ten o'clock column, do you see it?" Zhuang Xuteng pointed to the other side of the container. The iron pipe was blocked by the shadow, and it was extended like a snake along the wall and column, one end connected to the container, and the other end disappeared in the hole drilled in the floor. It was indeed very hidden. He listened carefully, but there was no sound of water flowing, so he couldn't tell whether there was anyone in the container.

Ge Gongdao picked up a piece of cement from the ground, weighed it, and then said to Zhuang Xuteng: "Throw a stone to test the water?"

"I think it's okay." Zhuang Xuteng nodded. Generally speaking, after making the call, Baker and Becky would definitely evacuate and find another hiding place. Throwing a stone was mainly to test whether there was a trap here and to see how the homeless people around behaved.

The cement fragments hit the container, making a clang, and the sound echoed in the space. The two found that the homeless people near the third floor were just curious and looked from a distance, without showing any special fear or panic. This can at least explain one thing: there has been no dangerous explosion around the container, and the possibility of a trap has been greatly reduced; and...

Before the two continued to analyze, the door of the container opened, and a sleepy man poked his head out, holding the door frame with one hand and waving his other hand in the air, shouting: "Whose child is throwing things around and disturbing my sleep!"

"Baker?" Ge Gongdao blurted out in surprise.

The man turned his head, rubbed his eyes, and was stunned for a moment: "Brother Dao, how did you find this place?"

At this moment, accompanied by a sound of "Who, who?", a woman squeezed out. The two look alike, with similar heights, white skin, black hair, and brown eyes; there are freckles on the bridge and tip of the nose that may never disappear in this life, and the angle of the crooked mouth when showing surprise is copied and pasted. These two guys in their early thirties are Baker and Becky, they are test tube twins.

"Are they the two? These are Baker and Becky?" Zhuang Xuteng was a little confused, wondering why these two people were still here, and they looked like they knew nothing. Although he couldn't figure it out, Zhuang Xuteng at least knew that something was wrong, so he became more vigilant. He took the lead in entering the four-flash state and scanned the surroundings again with a very suspicious look.

"Did you two receive Lucy's call?" The first thing that Ge Gongdao considered was whether the two people were counterfeited.

"I answered the phone. She said a lot of crazy things and her attitude was very bad, so I hung up the phone." Baker yawned, raised his hand to scratch his cheek, and asked, "Did Lucy ask you to come over? Not really, didn't you just hang up her phone! Brother Dao, the one next to you is the scarecrow, right?"

"Now is not the time to talk nonsense!" Ge Gongdao walked up quickly, grabbed Baker's collar, pulled him in front of him, and shouted, "Did you take a half-meter square white box full of shadow equipment?"

"Why are you talking nonsense too? I didn't take it. Sister, you didn't take it either, right?" Baker squeezed his eyes hard, and a piece of yellow eye mucus squeezed out of the corner of his eyes. His mental state was obviously not normal, and the whole person was loose. Not to mention that he didn't feel like a mercenary, even ordinary office workers wouldn't be so sloppy.

"Have you received a commission to intercept a truck?"

"Maybe, maybe not, whether or not..." Baker was almost lifted off the ground, he did not struggle, slowly turned his head to look at his sister: "Do you have any impression?"

"Hehe, hehe, I can't remember. Whether or not... what's the point?" Becky reached out and stroked Ge Gongdao's arm, grinning and saying: "The fur is so nice to touch, like a big toy."

"Nake, go in and see what's going on! Be careful, I think they inhaled it." Ge Gongdao stretched out his other hand, grabbed Becky, then lifted both of them off the ground at the same time, took them outside the container, and pressed them against the wall.

The door was cleared, Zhuang Xuteng first slapped the container wall hard, letting the sound and vibration bounce back in the steel box, providing him with more environmental information, and then stepped in. Ge Gongdao suspected that the unconsciousness of Baker and Becky was caused by drugs. There were no needle marks on their exposed skin, so the drugs might be inhaled. Zhuang Xuteng has implanted detoxification kidneys, and his resistance is stronger than Ge Gongdao. In this case, he goes first.

Even with an extra kidney, Zhuang Xuteng still didn't dare to neglect it. He took a deep breath outside and held his breath the whole time he entered. Baker and Becky connected the three containers together and opened up the interior to create a suite. The first one was the living room and dining room, the second one was the kitchen and bathroom, and the third one was the bedroom.

Overall, it was quite tidy inside, except for two disposable lunch boxes that had been eaten clean on the ground next to the trash can, seven or eight unwashed bowls in the kitchen sink, two of the three single beds without quilts, and smoking tools on the ground at the foot of the bed.

The candle was still burning, turning the blue powder in the glass tube into smoke - this was what they smoked. Fortunately, the smoke outlet of the smoking utensils was blocked with silk cloth - probably to prevent them from being wasted in the air - the concentration of toxic smoke in the room was not high. Zhuang Xuteng extinguished the flame, then pulled the bed sheet over and covered the smoking utensils. Then he opened the back door of the container to allow some air circulation inside.

"There's no one else inside, and there's no sign of X. You can come in." Zhuang Xuteng shouted while searching, and then found a broken mobile phone in the corner of the bedroom. It was not just broken, it was really broken. Its shell, screen, image chip and battery were separated, and the glass parts were broken all over the floor. From this state, it should have been hit hard first, then stepped on hard a few times, and then kicked into the corner and hidden.

With such force, if it was barefoot, it would probably get hurt; if it was wearing slippers, there would definitely be marks. Zhuang Xuteng noticed that the Beckbechi brothers and sisters had just gone out barefoot, there were no slippers in the room, and the hard-soled boots were at the door. The floor of the bedroom was quite clean, with no traces of dust or mud from the outside, which meant...

"Who else has been here besides you?" Zhuang Xuteng asked Ge Gongdao to bring the brother and sister to the bedroom, pointed to the third bed, and said, "Whose is this?"

"It's Bain's, he's very cute, you will definitely like him..." Baker answered with a smile, then suddenly became very nervous and began to look around the floor. "Where's my treasure? My..."

Becky also became very nervous, until Zhuang Xuteng lifted the bed sheet and let them see the glass smoking utensils and the blue crystal powder inside, the two finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Have you two gone out to complete the commissioned tasks recently?" Ge Gongdao pushed them against the wall again, with such great force that the three containers trembled together. "Think about it and answer honestly, or I'll let Nike smash your treasures."

"Don't yell, don't be angry, we are all good people..." Becky clasped his hands together and begged for mercy, saying: "We didn't go out, we have been here for several days... I don't know how many days, it was Bain who took care of us."

"What about the commissioned tasks?"

"It seems..." Baker tried to recall, and it took a long time to squeeze out some useful things: "We took commissioned tasks, and Bain completed them. He likes us and likes to be a mercenary. That kid is very powerful! He is a good person."

"He gave you the blue crystal... the Blue Savage?" Zhuang Xuteng asked.

"No, he is very good, but not that good. We have headaches and dizziness, but we don't have headaches and dizziness when we use the Blue Savage." Baker drooled from the corners of his mouth, and he didn't bother to wipe it off, saying: "The Blue Savage is a little expensive, but Bain will give us dividends as a mercenary. He gives us money, not the Blue Savage, and there is absolutely no such thing."

"Did Bain answer the phone?" Zhuang Xuteng continued to ask.

"My brother answered the phone, and it disturbed Bain's sleep. He seemed... yes, he was angry and smashed the phone." Becky said, "He said sorry later, and then went out to buy us a new phone. Brother, how long has he been away?"

"I can't read the clock, how do I know?" Beck said confidently.
