Chapter 289: Pier
It takes about 40 minutes to drive to the South District Pier, and Xing Ze did not drive the car directly into the pier.
Something was wrong. After his car left the police station, a small black car followed it. Although it did not follow after Xing Ze turned into the small road, even a fool could see that someone was following him.
When he arrived near the South District Pier, Xing Ze did not see the police car or the police blocking the road.
Is it a trap? He thought to himself, Camco even exposed his identity to lure him here, it seems that they are determined to get it.
Thinking of this. Xing Ze parked the car in a more hidden place, and then got off and went to the South District Pier.
The path leads to the west of the pier. Before coming here, he asked a fisherman about the way to the pier.
Although Xing Ze has memorized the entire map of Liverpool, the latest map does not mark the road to such a desolate area in detail.
The old fisherman pointed Xing Ze to a forest path, which was trampled by dock workers to and from get off work, because the west side was closer to their homes.
The hot sun baked out the moisture in the mud, and the humid moisture made it difficult to breathe. Xing Ze walked carefully on this forest path,
The strange attacker who had met in the seaside apartment before was likely nearby. From Quentin's memory, these time travelers relied on a software program on their mobile phones.
Although this sounds a little unlikely, it is the fact that the nameless software program with a bunch of octopus-like tentacle icons seems to have incredible magic.
Xing Ze is still unclear how it allows people to travel through time, but Blue Beak invaded the inside of Quentin's smartphone and spent nearly a day to open the permission to use this software.
However, Xing Ze used Quentin's identity, and the functions he could use were also quite limited. He could only simply view the character attributes, skill bar, task bar and information. As for the mall, lobby and other functions, they were still restricted and could not be used.
After two nights of research, Xing Ze basically figured out how to use the software. The most critical point is that Quentin sent out a distress signal before he lost his mind, and there have been four replies.
According to the replies in the letter, another four travelers will come to this world tomorrow. Xing Ze also checked the task bar, but there was not much useful information. It only indicated that the task of finding "Snake's Fang" could only be participated by six people at most.
After getting this information, Xing Ze made a plan. He planned to approach those travelers as Quentin and get them to find out how to return to the original world.
However, all this depends on whether he can survive today. The slight footsteps behind him did not escape Xing Ze's ears.
The other party's steps were very light and cautious, probably wanting to catch him by surprise. But Xing Ze dodged to the side and hid in the bushes on the side of the road.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and soon two men appeared in his field of vision. Judging from their clothes, they should be gang members.
The Old Record Gang. Xing Ze muttered in his heart. The two men searched around in confusion. They probably didn't expect that they were so careful but still found by Xing Ze.
"Damn it, where did that guy go?" The thinner of the two complained.
The other tall man was searching the bushes on the side of the road. He held a pistol in his hand, and his expression was not so friendly.
Before the two men figured out where Xing Ze had gone, the thin man's neck tightened, and then the whole person was pulled into the bushes.
The man with the gun reacted quickly and rushed over, cursing, but he didn't expect that he would be greeted by a long whip coming at a fast speed.
The whip hit his hand holding the gun accurately, and the strong force made the man's hand loosen, and the pistol fell to the ground. Immediately afterwards, Xing Ze jumped out of the bushes and subdued him in a few moves.
"How many more people are there?" Xing Ze pressed the man to the mud and asked.
"I don't know, I came... woo woo woo..." The man's head was pressed hard into the mud. A few minutes later, he confessed everything.
The Old Record Gang planned to kill Xing Ze. The South District Wharf was indeed their smuggling point, but it was also the place where they dealt with the bodies of disobedient people.
These two people were just the lower level of the Old Record Gang. They were responsible for tracking Xing Ze to ensure that he could reach the ambush circle.
There were at least thirty or forty people at the wharf, and they also had rifles, shotguns and other powerful firearms in their hands. If you rashly enter, you will definitely die miserably.
Xing Ze kicked the man unconscious with one foot, took his pistol, and thought about how to deal with the ambush at the wharf. The best way was to ask the police for help, but he didn't have a radio to contact the police station, and it would take too much time to turn back and bring the police.
It was possible that when the police arrived, those people would have evacuated. The best way now was to go there in person to deal with this gang, find their leader, and ask the truth.
After making up his mind, Xing Ze first cast a few buff magic on himself, and then walked into the woods on the side of the road.
If the Old Record Gang were not stupid, they would have set an ambush on this path, and a small forest beside the dock became Xing Ze's cover.
He had to find a way to go around behind these guards, and then determine the main target. He didn't have much confidence in dealing with 34 armed thugs alone.
Although a range magic can clear out a lot of people, at least he had to know what the personnel configuration there was.
Blue Beak turned into a raven and flew into the sky as a messenger to explore the way. If there was an ambush in the forest, it could issue a warning at the first time.
The closer he got to the edge of the woods, the more careful Xing Ze became. He smelled the fishy smell of the sea breeze, which meant that he was about to reach the dock.
After walking forward for a few minutes, the sea level in the distance was clearly visible. He saw the thugs guarding the avenue. They must have thought that Xing Ze would come here, so they concentrated most of their manpower at the main gate.
There were indeed people arranged on the trail, but not as many as at the main gate. There were only four patrolling guards and two standing guards.
Xing Ze set his sights on a warehouse not far away. There were many cars parked at the door. In front of these cars, a man smoking a cigar was surrounded by several guards.
He found his target. To catch a thief, you must first catch the leader. This principle has been useful since ancient times.
