Chapter 284 Chapter 281 Unboxing

Zhuang Xuteng and his group made a big detour, leaving Peicheng, driving a rented car back to the starting station of yesterday's train, retrieving their own car, and then driving back. This back and forth took a lot of time. They had four people and two cars, and they had to take turns driving to complete the journey. When they confirmed that there was no tail behind them and returned to the meeting place, it was already nine o'clock that night.

"Waiting for you!" Prince waited for them at the door and gave a big hug to Engineer Ge who got off the car first. "Come in, come in, just leave the car outside. There is no surveillance here, don't worry about being discovered."

The meeting place is not the same place as the training ground. It is next to the No. 1 Alliance Town in the north of Peicheng. The main industry here is metal processing, and there are various large factories such as steelmaking and aluminum smelting. Its population is also the largest in the alliance town.

They used an old drainage canal of the thermal power plant as a secret meeting place. It is only used as an emergency drainage canal when there is a serious failure in the power plant. That kind of thing may not happen once in decades. Since there is a substation above the head, the strong electromagnetic signal can block any attempt of the shadow slave device to spy, so this place is naturally secretive and safe.

Of course, Lucy and the others did not dare to take it lightly and ignore the construction of the hiding point. They dug through the side wall of the drainage ditch and dug out a large basement downwards, sealed all directions with lead-containing alloy materials, and poured oil into the waterproof interlayer. Everyone who uses the shadow slave implant will feel stuffy and irritable when walking here, but they will also feel at ease. Only this level of protection can eliminate the various tracking abilities of the shadow slave device, the shadow slave implant, and the shadow slave spell.

Drilling into the drainage ditch, turning into the underground passage, and passing through the protective door, everyone in this operation - except Steyr - finally gathered again. In the center of the warehouse, the treasure car has been disassembled, and the things inside are stacked according to categories. Several spotlights shine on the euros and platinum coins, and Wayne is lying on the safe, prying them open one by one.

"Finally here, I thought you were lost!" Lucy lay in the rocking chair, barefoot, rocking back and forth leisurely. "Guys, shouldn't we applaud them, just like we did to ourselves before?"

The applause was sparse, and there were only a few people, so it was impossible to be very enthusiastic. Zhuang Xuteng smiled and waved to everyone, and then asked the most concerned question on behalf of the latecomers: "How much did you get?"

"According to the agreed sharing method, each mercenary has 27 million." Lucy raised her arm high, pointed at Wayne, and said: "He is opening the safe. Since it is impossible to open a debt, the money will only be more, not less."

"Wow! So much?" Ge Gongdao hugged Prince tightly, kissed her on the face, and then asked: "Why is it so much?"

"The cover operation was successful. There is not so much money in the casino group's vault. Where did it all go? "Lucy pointed to the pile of money and said, "I'm having a headache now. So much money has never been laundered, and it's quite troublesome to deal with. And the casino group must be keeping an eye on the money laundering channels, which is not easy to deal with..."

"The troubles of having money are lighter than the troubles of not having money." Zhuang Xuteng looked back and saw Nightingale and Rock Sparrow, and asked Lucy, "Is there any news about Steyer?"

"Still missing, I don't know where he is hiding. The only good news at the moment is that he took his intelligence officer with him, which means that he was not arrested and may have escaped on his own."

Hearing this news, Zhuang Xuteng didn't know what to say. Since the income of the operation was much greater than expected, if Steyer was still there, his financial situation would definitely be alleviated, or even solved directly. But if he left like this and did not appear during the operation, Lucy and Henry would adopt other distribution methods.

After all, this time the money was divided according to the number of people. Under the promotion of Zhuang Xuteng and Ge Gongdao, the mercenaries reached an agreement not to engage in internal competition and confrontation, but the middleman did not do so.

"Sister Lucy, I see that the shielding ability here is very strong. Can the news from outside still come in in time?"

Lucy changed the direction of her raised finger and said, "Look, there is the only communication line over there. The frequency band is extremely narrow and it keeps hopping, which can ensure communication in emergency situations. Ordinary messages will not come to disturb us, so having such a line is enough. Nike, what do you want to say?"

"It's not what I want to say. I think Nightingale and Rock Sparrow may want to say something." Zhuang Xuteng turned his head and looked at them, saying, "The mission has been completed, and the carriage is in front of us, but your future is still undecided. Steyer has absconded. He left behind not only you, but also so many mercenaries under his command. This is not a good thing for the entire industry..."

"Thank you, Nike, you are right to remind me." Nightingale said, "Lucy, we can't lock Steyer, but it is possible to find his intelligence officer. It's just not possible here. We need a place with a better network environment."

Lucy put down her raised hand, supported her forehead, and leaned in the chair to think. She then nodded and called Muir over. "You drive them and take them wherever they need to go. If they have information, they can go to the restaurant and use the internal phone to call 3721, and the information can be passed on. When they are sure that they are fine, come back. Don't let them out of your sight."

"There are two of them." Muir said, "I only have one, what should I do?"

"Two people are one person, and one person is not two people." Lucy confessed to Muir, and then said to Nightingale and Rockbird: "Okay, you go, I'm here waiting for you to come back."

After the three girls left, Lucy asked Zhuang Xuteng to sit next to her and said, "Do you want to recommend it to me when you help them like this?"

Zhuang Xuteng shook his head and said: "It's not my job to recommend others. Brother Dao can only decide when he says it. I'm just worried about Steyer, whether he will jump over the wall in a hurry, so finding him is beneficial to me and everyone. And Nightingale and Rock Bird are the intelligence officers he carries with him, to put it mildly, and should have a better chance of finding him."

"You think very comprehensively, but everyone still has to follow the procedures." Lucy clapped hard and said, "Guys, start moving, leaving no traces in this place."

Zhuang Xuteng nodded, he had already expected this result. It is one thing to give Nightingale and Rockbird a chance, but it is another thing to protect their interests. There is no conflict between the two. There must be more than one shielding point like this, and now they only need to transport the valuable property in the carriage instead of the carriage, which would be much easier.

Everyone took action immediately. There were already several dump trucks on the site, which were used to tow carriages and are now used to transport property. During the time when Ge Gongdao and Zhuang Xuteng were not here, everyone had dismantled the carriage like open peonies, making sure that there were no hidden treasures in its corners, so that the carriage would be useless. Henry Henderson had several barrels of thermite prepared to give the carriage a gorgeous cremation.

So much thermite would produce so much heat that the metal floors beneath your feet would not be protected, and they were not intended to be protected in the first place. After the floor is burned through, the oil on the top and side walls will flow out under pressure, covering the entire floor and erasing all biological traces. They may be ignited, or they may not. Anyway, the air here is airtight and the oxygen is limited. It will not burn for long if it is really burned, and it will not spread and affect the outside.

"Go and help, Naike stays." Lucy sent Brother Dao away, and then said to Naike: "I don't have anything else to do, I just want to discuss with you how to handle the next thing."

"Huh... Sister Lucy, I haven't had this kind of experience, so the first thing I want to know is: What will happen next?"

"First question: If you have 20 million, 30 million or more money, will you still be a mercenary?" Lucy turned to look at Zhuang Xuteng, and said in a gentle voice: "Don't be anxious, don't be nervous, Think slowly."

Zhuang Xuteng lowered his head and smiled, and said: "No, I'm not nervous or anxious, and I don't have to think slowly. I already thought about it when I entered the treasure house carriage. The money, no matter how much, just eliminates my worries. To put it to the extreme, even if I die, I will still earn enough. But my goal is more than that, which is not measured by money. I like the mercenary business. I am very comfortable here and have confidence. I will continue. Go down. Moreover, I also promised Master to be his retirement guarantor, and I must fulfill that promise and continue to maintain my presence."

Lucy nodded and said: "Then the second question, do you think it is better for Stair to die or live."

"Whether he is dead or alive has no effect on me. You have to ask yourself this question, is it better for him to be dead or alive. If you don't know, then you can listen to the opinions of nightingales and rock birds. But you have to be mentally prepared , if you ask them, they will want you to provide maintenance support for the intelligence officer's implant. I heard them say that the maintenance cost has left them in debt and they have to follow Steyer's various arrangements."

Lucy pointed at Zhuang Xuteng with her finger and said, "Don't fight with me, haha, I'm just asking your opinion. To die or to live?"

"Death, but it can't develop into a middleman war. It was enough last time. Middlemen and mercenaries work to make money, not to grab territory like gangsters." Zhuang Xuteng spread his hands and said: "Sister Lucy, don't always Ask me about the intermediary level, I’m not familiar with it at all, and it’s probably all bad ideas.”

"Middlemen and mercenaries are all human beings! The relationships between people are all the same, very similar." Lucy raised her head, looked at the dark ceiling, and said, "You're right, you should avoid looking like a middleman. War. I already know this, and I have to discuss this matter with Henry."

Zhuang Xuteng nodded and said: "Another thing: Steyer's client has access to implants. This is a very critical resource. If it can be retained, it will be beneficial to all mercenaries."

"I'll think about it." Lucy pondered for a moment, then pointed to the truck and said, "Okay, you go to work!"
