Chapter 350 Chapter 347 Tracking
After a few peaceful days, during which he was dragged by his sister to try on half-finished clothes, went to three places to look at houses, and was even chased by Morgana to thank her, Zhuang Xuteng lived a fulfilling and enjoyable life.
As he had expected, Morgana wanted that instrument just to analyze the detailed data of Safety Blue. Zhuang Xuteng asked about the specific differences between these instruments. Why can the same model be used if modified, but in vain if not modified?
"The main reason is that the shadow slave chip inside is limited, and the level of fineness is different." Morgana lay on Zhuang Xuteng, drew circles on his chest with her fingers, and said, "Ordinary instruments will become blurry when they see a certain level, and the shadow slave chip will become blurry after seeing it to a certain extent. A warning will be issued that if the resolution is forcibly increased, it will break. This phenomenon is not only found in this type of instrument, but also in other research and test equipment. If you want to study it, you can only enter the company's scientific research institution and use those that do not. In addition to external instrument operations, the Constitutional Government Research Center also has certain technical means.”
Zhuang Xuteng stroked Morgana's hair, wrapped it around his fingers, and said, "Are there any risks if you conduct research in secret like this? I feel that the company or the constitutional government is cooperating with each other to restrict others from digging for the truth."
"I will be careful. You are the only one who knows about this research project besides me. My family only knows that I don't like Blue Savages. Maybe they think that I don't like Safety Blue either, but they don't know what I am doing specifically. If you care, you don’t know.”
"Thank you for your hard work." Zhuang Xuteng touched Morgana's back again, and she turned over and pinned him down.
"Be honest, don't move around, just lie down!" Morgana threw the hair on her chest back, adjusted her sitting posture, and then said: "Tell me something serious..."
"Uh...ah...just tell me..." Zhuang Xuteng didn't dare to move at all, and replied hesitantly.
"You did a great job in this operation. Next, if I use instruments to check and confirm that Safety Blue is actually a comprehensive replacement for Blue Savage, it means that the four top companies have decided to take action personally and fully roll out blue crystal products to the society. ...That means that our opponents have changed from gangs of drug dealers to the four major groups, especially the Sanliu Charity Foundation - don't move at all!"
"I'm thinking about the problem." Zhuang Xuteng glared at Morgana, and then said: "I don't think it's appropriate. If you confirm your suspicion, our target can still only be drug-trafficking gangsters. It is justice to attack drug-trafficking companies. Yes, it is correct in theory, but it is a mistake in tactics..."
Morgana leaned down and blocked Zhuang Xuteng's mouth with her mouth. After a while, she let go and said, "If you can still remain calm in this situation, I can rest assured."
"..." Zhuang Xuteng narrowed his eyes and began to exert force.
Both men are worried about each other. Morgana is worried that Zhuang Xuteng will be tracked by the company because of his identity as a mercenary, and his life safety will be threatened; Zhuang Xuteng is worried that Morgana is young. Even if she comes from a church family and has a certain social status, she may not be able to protect her in front of the company. And with the company's methods, things don't need to be done in person, especially those that are sneaky. Thinking about how Zhuang Teng died, it was difficult for Morgana to resist those inexplicable assassinations.
After a heated exchange of opinions, the two reached a consensus: their goal will continue to be drug gangs. They also know that this doesn’t solve the root problem, but it does at least solve part of it. In addition to drug trafficking, those gangs also harm the residents of Peicheng in many ways, and Safe Blue will make them more powerful. First chop off the gang's hands and feet or cut off their heads. This is a more realistic "small goal" for the young couple.
There is currently no clue as to how the operation will be carried out. Morgana first needs to test the safety blue to find tangible evidence. Zhuang Xuteng asked her if she wanted to expose the secret of Safe Blue to the media. Morgana smiled and shook her head. She said her ultimate dream is to find an antidote to blue crystals, or to find a way to destroy blue crystals in large quantities. The media has long been owned by the company, and even those who express opposing opinions are colluding on a deep level. In short, she had given up hope long ago.
This is a girl who is both realistic and ideal, and Zhuang Xuteng sees himself in her. He also has very ideal parts, such as avenging the company for Zhuang Teng's death. Dingxin Magic, the largest arms company, is even "one of" the targets of revenge. As for the rest, it includes continuing to be a mercenary, being promoted to Seven Flashes as soon as possible, and going to my sister's studio today to get clothes.
Zhuang Xuteng's new "daily camouflage" suit is a blue-black jacket. The overall core elements are close-fitting and tough. It combines the functionality of a pilot's uniform, the simple and capable feel of the company's middle-level armed commanders, and the eye-catching accessories of a street motorcycle boy. . In terms of materials, its outer layer is breathable imitation leather, and the middle layer is made of the same material as the armed suit. The inner layer is made of rune cloth that can wick away sweat and conduct air, and is controlled by a shadow slave.
People at the studio brainstormed and used many designs together on the outfit, turning it into a multi-purpose outfit. The rune cloth inside can change color under the control of the shadow slave, so as long as this piece of clothing is worn in reverse, it can quickly transform into another piece. Although he is very optimistic about the effect of using reverse wear to quickly change the image, Zhuang Xuteng needs to hook armor plates or stab-proof inner armor inside the clothing, which cannot be turned outside, so he has reservations about the reverse wear design.
Good ideas come from difficult situations, and this time is no exception. After brainstorming, the designers came up with a great idea: an armored hard collar. The collar of the jacket is stiff and stands up like a city wall to protect Zhuang Xuteng's neck. Its height is slightly higher than the lower edge of his earlobes. Because it's stiff, it can support the weight of armor plates or other linings, and any hooks attached underneath it won't prevent the jacket from everting out. This hard collar can be separated and disassembled from the jacket, turned sideways into two shoulder pads, and hidden under the everted jacket, so that it does not affect the use of the inner armor.
Some designers started to make assumptions based on this. He said: "Neon lights can be installed inside the hard collar to light up the face. There will definitely be a market for this function!"
Zhuang Xuteng quickly stopped. He didn't need fill light on his face. In terms of decoration, he could only accept a fluorescent pattern in the middle of the back of the jacket, and it couldn't be in the horror and hunting style of a gang. After selection, Zhuang Xuteng finally chose the holy emblem pattern of the Church of Light in the Age of Gods, which was an image of a mountaintop castle emitting light. The only modification was to replace the castle with a hall supported by stone pillars, and there was a faintly visible skull pattern in the hall. .
Since I had already tried on the size before, the new clothes fit Zhuang Xuteng's body shape perfectly, and they were quite suitable. This suit of clothes was not cheap. It cost Zhuang Xuteng a total of 2,800 euros. If the payee was not his sister, Zhuang Xuteng would not be willing to pay so much money anyway. Even if it was to entrust a task, he would have to ask "whether it counts as the cost of the task" first, and only then would he painfully pay for it after receiving a definite answer.
He was dressed from head to toe, equipped with sunglasses and a mask, and makeup that matched the clothes was also arranged for him. What kind of makeup tools are used and what operations are performed are all included in the 5% service fee. Once all this is done, and Zhuang Xuteng changes his walking posture, his whole image will be completely different. According to Zhuang Feifei, if she didn't know about this in advance, she would never dare to recognize Zhuang Xuteng if she only saw his back.
"Before, you said you would recognize it no matter what." Zhuang Xuteng chuckled. He was very proud of the idea that he could control and change his body's movements.
"Okay, you are the best this time." Zhuang Feifei asked her men to collect the money and go out. She waited until there was no one else and then said to Zhuang Xuteng: "I answered a phone call the day before yesterday. It was our old neighbor. Do you remember P76 Is there Aunt Rowling who has three fat girls in the apartment next door to ours?”
"Remember. She especially likes to make curry-flavored food. I often smell it when I go home, which makes me feel hungry." Zhuang Xuteng tilted his head and asked, "What's wrong with her?"
"She called me and told me something: Unidentified people came near our home, wandered around 1306 several times, and asked her for news about us. She said that we moved away, and then there were no more I don’t know what to do if I contact you again - just pass by. Brother, who do you think is asking about us? "
Zhuang Xuteng frowned. He couldn't draw a conclusion no matter what based on just a few words. But one thing is certain: if it is the property management of the apartment or the gangsters around, Aunt Rowling will definitely recognize it. She sells curry meatball skewers on the street downstairs. She has a wide range of people coming and going, and her eyes are very sharp.
"Are you here to inquire about you or me?" Zhuang Xuteng asked.
"I didn't ask so carefully. Aunt Luo Lin seemed to be busy selling things. When a customer came, she hung up the phone. I didn't think there was any big problem, but I didn't get the answer, and there was always something in my mind. "
"Let me go and have a look." Zhuang Xuteng touched his sister's head and said, "I just changed my image and they can't recognize it. Investigating is what I'm best at now. I think it's very likely that it's me. My former co-workers wanted to drag me to work, but they didn't know that I had changed my address and mobile phone. You don't have to worry about this. I'll just go and check and I'll call you. "
"That's okay." Zhuang Feifei said: "Aunt Luo Lin has helped us before, if you have..."
"We've already come out, it's best not to show up again. I'll secretly put some more money in her stall to surprise her. It's not advisable to put too much, how about a thousand euros?"
"Okay, I think it's okay." Zhuang Feifei smiled and nodded. She believed that her brother would be able to catch him and cure his illness...
Zhuang Xuteng did not want his sister to worry, and at the same time asked her to protect her privacy and avoid being disturbed in her current life. He left the studio at a relaxed pace, immediately stopped smiling, and drove to his former residence. He also hoped that just his former co-workers would come to the door, but he could not let go of any suspicious things for the sake of safety.
It had been a long time since I left this low-rent apartment. It should still be the same as before, but in Zhuang Xuteng's eyes, it had become more messy and decadent. The homeless people at the door are still crowded together, and more than half of them have changed into new faces. It is conceivable that those old faces are either dead or gone. The same people were hawking at the door, synthetic food fast food, second-hand clothes, various refurbished small commodities, and magazine shops with naked men and women printed on them. Zhuang Xuteng parked the car far away, covered his appearance with sunglasses and a mask, and walked slowly over with his hands folded.
He saw Auntie Rowling in the crowd, who was selling her food. She was doing good business. Three men in construction site work clothes were sitting on the stall, eating curry meat skewers and noodles. This was the most expensive item sold at Auntie Rowling's stall, and it was also the most complicated to make. After thinking about it carefully, Zhuang Xuteng had never eaten this dish, even though he passed by the stall every day.
Pretending to pick up second-hand clothes, Zhuang Xuteng secretly observed Auntie Rowling. She looked older than before, with more flesh on her face and looser, but her mental state was good, and she was still cheerful as before. Zhuang Xuteng squinted his eyes and looked carefully, but found no scars or bruises, which meant that Auntie Rowling had not been beaten.
Gang thugs like to fight, and they will definitely punch anyone who doesn't cooperate, and sometimes they will use violence when they don't get the answer they want. Since Rowling was not beaten, she was probably not a thug. Zhuang Xuteng thought about it, put down the clothes in his hand, left the second-hand stall, and entered the building with the cover of the crowd.
It was still the elevator that would only start when enough people or enough money were paid. There were four people standing sparsely inside. They had no intention of paying at all, and they probably didn't think their time was valuable, so they leaned against the elevator wall to read newspapers. Zhuang Xuteng noticed that none of the newspapers were from today, and the latest one was a week ago, so he knew that these people were just pretending. He had done this before, but later he felt hypocritical and stupid, so he stiffened his neck and waited for the ride, and never pretended again.
He thought for a moment, then bought a lollipop at the junk stall next to him, and changed the five euros into a handful of change. Then he gave the money to the homeless man next to him, and pointed to the elevator. As he thought, the homeless here were still doing the "collection" job, and soon enough people were gathered, and with Zhuang Xuteng, it was enough for the elevator to start.
Even if you pay, you don't have to give it to the elevator property. But Zhuang Xuteng has heard some rumors that the property of the building will collect money from the homeless, otherwise they will not be allowed to live in the shadow of the building. Zhuang Xuteng had never seen such a thing with his own eyes, but he believed it was all true.
After getting off the elevator on the 11th floor, Zhuang Xuteng walked up the stairs. When he was approaching the 13th floor, he had already entered the reconnaissance state and treated this matter as a commissioned task. The disguised street style steps immediately turned into the stealth steps of Prince's school. Zhuang Xuteng's figure was also hidden in the shadow of the building, and even his action of opening the door was cautious.
At this time, he heard two people talking.
"Do you still think there is something wrong with this Zhuang Xuteng?" One of them said: "He cancelled his phone and didn't have a new one. This is indeed suspicious, but it doesn't mean that he is the murderer we are looking for. He is just an unemployed worker who happened to appear that night. I feel that you are wasting your time."
"It's just my intuition, and he may not be the murderer. He may be a very important eyewitness." Another person said: "It seems impossible to find him directly, so we can only risk alerting the enemy and find his family to ask them if they know the whereabouts of Zhuang Xuteng."
