Chapter 384 Chapter 381 Don't Move
Since he didn't drive his own car, Zhuang Xuteng didn't have all the equipment he brought. He could only borrow a telescope from Morgana to carefully observe the situation ahead.
Judging from the attacker's tattoos, there is no doubt that they are the Cemetery Gang, and they are trying to attack an eleven-story office building. It was late at night, and most companies would not leave office workers, but there seemed to be a lot of people in that house, and it was incredible that they were able to withstand the attack of the Cemetery Gang.
If it were a company or a constitutional government office, when it was attacked like this, the PCPD would have already gone to support it. An ordinary civilian company or organization, even a security company, should not be able to withstand the attack of the Cemetery Gang. The only ones left who might have this kind of resistance and would not cause PCPD anxiety are either another gang or a certain group of mercenaries. From observation, the defender does not have any gang tattoos, making it more likely that he is a mercenary.
Although he is a mercenary, he will not automatically lend a helping hand without being entrusted with a task. Because something like this happened before: some mercenaries were performing a mission. They showed their weakness to the enemy and lured the enemy deeper. As a result, they were "rescued" by other mercenaries who passed by without knowing the situation, causing the mission to directly fail. Afterwards, they demanded compensation for losses from the enthusiastic rescuers, and the two sides made an ugly scene. Since then, a tacit understanding has been formed among the mercenaries: as long as they don't ask for help, then they shouldn't mind their own business; if the money is not enough, then their time is precious and they have no time to mind their own business.
Of course Zhuang Xuteng knew this "taboo" and would not help anyone just because the Cemetery Gang was beating them up. Alas, it would be nice if the people the Cemetery Gang were beating were not mercenaries, then Zhuang Xuteng would be able to take action. It just so happens that mercenaries are the most awkward and least able to help.
"I'll make a call." Zhuang Xuteng returned the binoculars to Morgana and was about to contact Sister Lucy. Unexpectedly, he was stopped by the police officer next to him as soon as he took out the phone.
"No. We are on a mission. Who are you going to tip off to?"
Zhuang Xuteng smiled and explained patiently: "I will ask my intelligence source about the situation ahead. You can just listen to what I say. If I say anything that exposes the situation at the scene, you can shoot me directly in the head." gun."
"Let him fight." Morgana also said at the side: "This is my informant, and his source of information is quite good."
"Okay!" said the PCPD: "I'm listening right next to you. If you reveal the configuration and actions here, I will stop you immediately."
He only said "stop", not "kill you with one shot". It seemed that Morgana had more respect. Zhuang Xuteng called Lucy and asked directly: "Are there mercenaries or middlemen operating on XX Street? Who is the Cemetery Gang beating? Have you found out?"
Lucy was very shrewd and knew what Zhuang Xuteng was implying as soon as she heard this. She searched her mind, and then asked Meteor again. Neither she nor her intelligence officer had any information that this address belonged to a middleman or mercenary. "But one possibility cannot be ruled out: that is a safe house for some middleman. Just like my music restaurant is just a reception and office center, and the fortress-like safe house is more than just this one. I will help you ask if there is one The intermediary is under attack. It gets complicated if the Cemetery Gang is attacking an intermediary."
It does get complicated, as it involves the Cemetery Gang's revenge for the destruction of their training base and the murder of the Nine-Headed Elder. It is not just a matter of one or two middlemen and mercenaries, but involves the interests of everyone. For Lucy, it is good to have someone take the blame for her, but whether she can profit from it also needs to be paid close attention to.
Intelligence collection takes time, and Zhuang Xuteng can only wait until there is clear instructions. This clear instruction comes not only from Lucy, but also from the PCPD. If the PCPD gives an order and decides to suppress and stop the chaos ahead, Zhuang Xuteng will definitely charge forward and secretly use some dark and vicious methods on the Cemetery Gang.
Unfortunately, the police lights kept flashing, the sirens kept buzzing, and the police force was at a standstill. Two blocks away, the fighting was getting fiercer and explosives were being used on both sides. With the constant sound of sonic booms coming from over there, Zhuang Xuteng believed that the implant masters had already started fighting, but the battle was taking place inside a building, which had little impact on the outside world and could not be seen by ordinary people.
"If we delay it any longer, more people will die over there. And judging from the offensive, there are more people helping the cemetery, and they have a greater chance of winning. This..." Before Zhuang Xuteng finished speaking, he saw Three members of the Cemetery Gang came out of the smoke in the distance. They were holding cigarettes in their mouths as if taking a walk, paying no attention to the chaos around them or the flying stray bullets. The three guys waved their hands at the PCPD and walked straight over.
Judging from their tattoos and clothing, the leader is a six-headed cadre, and the two beside him are his followers, probably around four or three-headed. "Who is the person in charge of this line?" The six-headed cadre took off the cigarette butt from the corner of his mouth, exhaled blue smoke, and said: "This is the six-headed Zhuoke of the Cemetery Gang. People on the road have praised me and are willing to call me. "Red Wine" Zhuo Ke. On behalf of the Cemetery Gang, I would like to say a few words to the person in charge here. "
Zhuang Xuteng looked at Morgana. He very much hoped that his woman would be in charge here. Unfortunately, Morgana shrugged helplessly and pointed at the male police officer who had just scolded Zhuang Xuteng. As expected, he fought out and said: "Branch Superintendent, Ful Kent, I am in charge here."
"So it's Inspector Kent. I've heard of you for a long time. You're really impressive." Zhuo Ke walked over with a brisk pace and stopped more than a meter away from the police car cordon. He showed his mouthful of gold teeth and said with a smile, "I'm so sorry for causing trouble today. We are catching traitors and causing trouble for everyone. Don't worry, we, the Cemetery Gang, will be responsible for repairing the broken things and treating the injured. We will also show our appreciation for your hard work. In a word, we will be responsible for the things here. Please take a break, PCPD guys."
"Oh, so it's your gang's business! Why didn't you tell me in advance and make such a big fuss?"
Zhuang Xuteng looked at Inspector Kent in shock, his heart full of disappointment. Just listening to the thugs of the Cemetery Gang say such a few words, he believed it and determined that it was an internal affair of the Cemetery Gang? Is he preparing to find a reason to let it go? No, it's not "finding" a reason, but "making up" a reason.
"Sorry, sorry, bothering you." Zhuo Ke picked up the cigarette again, puffing out blue smoke rings while scanning the crowd. There are many different kinds of people in the PCPD. Some people turned a deaf ear and were unmoved. Some people looked at them with contempt and turned a blind eye. Some people yawned and searched for cigarettes in their pockets. A few people were helpless and gnashed their teeth.
Zhuo Ke's eyes fell on Morgana, and he asked, "I didn't expect there was a brave female police officer. What's your name?"
Morgana never had a good look on gang members. She glared at him and was about to scold him, but before she could say a dirty word, she was interrupted by a harsh electronic sound. "Squeak! Buzz buzz buzz..." Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw Zhuang Xuteng holding a loudspeaker in his hand, fiddling with the buttons on it. He made the noise.
"What are you doing?" Morgana walked over, took the loudspeaker back, and pressed the button to turn it off. She winked hard and said angrily, "Everyone is looking at you!"
"I haven't played it before, it's quite fun, sorry to make fun of you." Zhuang Xuteng scratched his head, as if he was embarrassed, but in fact he didn't care. He just wanted to make some noise to prevent Morgana from talking to the gang bastards on the other side of the blockade. The gang members were not good guys at first glance, and the captain of the PCPD knew they were not good guys. The more Morgana got involved with them, the more trouble she would have.
"Don't pay attention to him." Zhuang Xuteng said, "He has nothing to do, and we have a mission to complete. Oh, my phone is ringing. Morgana, help me cover it."
Morgana nodded and took Zhuang Xuteng to walk three or four meters back, slightly away from the blockade and away from Zhuo Ke of the Cemetery Gang. Zhuang Xuteng picked up the phone. It was Lucy. She said right away, "Your information is very useful. At present, it seems that Fat Orange Roger is likely to be besieged."
"What happened?"
"At my suggestion, the middlemen called each other's names and found that he was missing. They looked for his mercenaries, but none of them could be contacted. By expanding the search range, through various signs, it can be basically confirmed that he was attacked. What you are seeing now is most likely one of his fortress safe houses."
"Why did the Cemetery Gang beat him?"
"You can only ask him this after you rescue him." Lucy sighed and said, "The first problem now is to let him ask for help, otherwise the other mercenaries can't take action."
"It's already this time, can't we kill the Cemetery Gang first?" Because of his anxiety, Zhuang Xuteng's voice was inevitably a little noisy, but fortunately it was covered up in time by Morgana's deliberate coughing. Zhuang Xuteng cast a thankful look at Morgana, then controlled himself and said in a low voice: "Can't we handle special cases in a special way?"
"No, it really can't be done." Lucy said: "Now the PCPD is surrounding there, saying that they want to control the situation. In fact, the Cemetery Gang will not attack them at all. They are actually helping the Cemetery Gang intercept people from outside. If Fat Orange Roger doesn't ask for help and doesn't expose his situation, who can take the risk of rescuing him under the threat of PCPD? What if our people go in and don't cooperate well with Roger, and he detonates some trap and blows everyone up to the sky? What should we do?"
"In other words, we have to let him ask for help now." Zhuang Xuteng's mind turned quickly, focusing on finding a solution to the problem. He said, "I guess, Roger, all the communications here are ruined?"
"Yes, all the communications in your vicinity are ruined. Fortunately, your phone is encrypted by our own method, so it can still be used. We don't know what's going on inside, and it has a lot to do with the blocking of communications."
Zhuang Xuteng raised his head and looked at the PCPD vehicles. He found that someone was using the car radio to contact the headquarters to report the current situation and ask about the next action plan. "The PCPD communication station seems to be still usable. Can it be used as a relay to transmit the information?"
"It's possible, very likely. I think Fat Orange Roger must have a PCPD walkie-talkie that can be connected to the car radio, and then forwarded, and entered the PCPD call channel, so that he can come out. But how do you let him know about this and how do you send the car over?"
"I'll find a way myself." Zhuang Xuteng said.
"Wait! You have to be careful! If you follow Morgana and openly clash with the Cemetery Gang, she will be affected." Lucy is very concerned about Zhuang Xuteng's safety, but she also knows that it is useless to ask Zhuang Xuteng to protect himself at this time. Only by pointing out Morgana can he be more cautious. The middleman-mercenary groups united and strategically they lost."
"Whether they win or not, they have lost strategically, so why not let them lose a little more today?" Zhuang Xuteng thought about the plan and roughly had a plan, then said to Lucy: "I have a solution, you are ready Network spying, enter the PCPD's sieve network, and contact the fat man inside. "
"As I said before, be safe." Lucy finally said, "I'm always ready."
Zhuang Xuteng hung up the phone, raised his head, and said to Morgana, who had been covering him with her body: "The people who were beaten inside are most likely mercenaries. I want to restore contact with them and ask them about the situation. I might offend the PCPD. Will you Do you blame me?"
"I won't blame you, I will only love you." Morgana said.
Zhuang Xuteng laughed so hard that his eyes were bent, and he raised his hands to pinch his cheeks to regain his expression. "Okay, I need you to help me distract your captain so I can steal his car keys. I only need three seconds of free time, is that okay?"
Morgana glanced in the captain's direction, nodded, said "I'll start as soon as I stand still", and then walked straight over. She passed by the captain, turned her back to him and took two steps forward, then pretended to be surprised, pointed to the ground and said, "What is this?"
Morgana bent down, and her round buttocks were clearly outlined by the tight pants, which gave Zhuang Xuteng three seconds of absolute safety. Using the ghost servant, Zhuang Xuteng took away the captain's car keys, and used the knowledge of the Prince system's stealth technique to send the keys to the captain's car, making the ghost servant an invisible driver, and then started it.
At this time, Morgana picked up a piece of broken stone from the ground, stood up, and frowned. "I was wrong, it turned out to be a useless thing." She threw the stone away, clapped her hands, turned around and walked back, as if nothing had happened. At the same time, the captain's car began to move forward slowly and had already reached the blockade.
"Hey, hey? Why did my car go away?" The captain was about to chase him, but he was tripped by something and fell flat on his face. Zhuang Xuteng hurried over and tried to help the captain up, but in fact he was pressing on his hamstrings. Even if he had 500 kilograms of strength, he couldn't get up. "Captain, what's wrong with you, captain? Come and help the captain!"
People nearby came over to offer their courtesy, and the captain's car went away on its own.
