Chapter 36 Now, We Wait

Chen Ke and the other three were walking through the alleys, and from time to time they could hear the sirens of police cars speeding past on the street. The major shops and buildings on the streets of Opportunity City are not closely spaced behind each other, so there are always such narrow roads left for people to take shortcuts.

A blue and white helicopter flew in the sky. It was the interview helicopter of Opportunity City. As the largest daily newspaper in Opportunity City, they would get first-hand news at all costs, whether it was the psychic explosion in Xijin Building last night or the current one. They can be seen in street shootouts.

"Last night, the Administration just settled the black box incident of Xijin Building, and this morning there was a fierce gun battle on the streets. It seems that Opportunity City is facing an unprecedented crisis! Opportunity News chief reporter Karin is on the scene to provide you with It’s a great feeling to have a live broadcast, overlooking the entire battlefield from 400 meters above the ground...I mean, it’s really serious!”

On the interview helicopter, a blond female reporter wearing a red trench coat was reporting vividly, and her words and expressions were extremely provocative. The photographer on the side was carrying a camera and a survival rope around his waist to prevent himself from being blown down by the wind.

“We don’t know yet whether this shootout is related to last night’s Xijin Building, but what is certain is that the heroic county police of Opportunity City have controlled the situation. Your beautiful and fearless Opportunity masthead reporter Karin was at the first Line will continue to report for you!”

"Whoosh!" A bullet hit the side door of the helicopter, leaving a bullet hole.

"Eaaaay!!!!!!" Karin turned pale, screamed in fear, and dropped the microphone in her hand.

Thick fog billowed from the van after the explosion. The remaining tough men in sunglasses fought back symbolically for a while, leaving the bodies of several companions on the street before getting into the SUV and starting to run away, leaving only the black van behind. There burns alone.

Chen Ke and his party walked through the streets and alleys and finally got on the evacuation vehicle. They took off their masks and threw the guns in the car. Hall briefly treated his ears with the accompanying medical kit before he could breathe.

"What happened just now? Who is playing tricks on us?" Chen Ke asked.

Since there are people doing dirty things like robbing sacred objects, the postman is definitely not the only participant in this business. Occasionally friction between peers is normal.

"This matter is not that simple. Someone wants to mess with us...and it is not what you think, but more dangerous." Hall said while bandaging his ears.

"What do you mean?" Chen Ke was confused.

"All our actions rely on intelligence. Who has obtained a large number of illegal sacred objects from where, and who and where are preparing to trade illegal sacred objects with whom. This information is the foundation for the existence of our organization. There has never been a mistake before " Hall said, throwing away the bloody cotton ball, and then said: "Someone is messing with us and giving us false information. Heinard's team is just the beginning, and then we are the second."

"Are you saying our intelligence source has turned traitor?" Priskin asked.

"I can't think of any other possibility. Maybe the intelligence dealer got false information deliberately spread by the other party, but no matter what, Pihom must know about this matter. He has his own way to find out the problem." Hall said .

"Let me confirm two things first. First, our rescue mission failed, so there will be no reward, right?" Chen Ke spread his hands.

The two nodded.

"Okay... Secondly, it seems that the vote to seize the Si's consortium will be put on hold indefinitely, right?" Chen Ke asked again.

"No, no, that's not necessarily the case. In fact, we have been watching them for a long time. There was news on the road half a year ago that they were frantically collecting holy objects, and they seemed to have used some extreme means to create artificial spiritual explosions. Effect." Hall shook his head.

"Some sacred objects seem to have this function, but I guess it is similar to medieval sacrificial rituals, which is uncomfortable to listen to." Priskin interjected.

Chen Ke suddenly remembered what the black man had said to him when he had just traveled through time, and fell silent.

"...The problem now is that we are all acting according to the plan, and you didn't die according to the fucking plan. This makes me very confused. Oops! Man! Where is Miles? Tell me..."

That's what the black guy said at the time.

And that blasphemous dagger...

Chen Ke suddenly realized something and touched his chest.

"We can only get off the car here. Don't take guns and masks. Just keep going like this. No one will know that we have had a gunfight." Hall covered his ears and there was blood on one cheek, but when he said this The words seemed full of confidence.

The three of them opened the van door, jumped out, and watched the car drive away. The midday sun swept away the morning haze and warmed my body.

"The Si Group must have obtained a lot of great things. No matter what they plan to do, we must get a share of the pie. But before that, we must first find out who is messing with us. The most important thing is to Heidner was rescued, if he was still alive..." Hall said.

"Damn it, Heinard must still be alive, and his cell phone is still in your hand, right? Pihom will definitely have a way!" Priskin patted Hall.

"Yes, mobile phone. Pihom will definitely be able to find something through this... let's go!" Hall said.

Chen Ke had just joined the postman less than two hours ago and had no feelings for that Heinard, so he could only stand aside with an expressionless face.

In the gunfight just now, Chen Ke did not absorb much murderous aura, but after all, he was fighting with others, so he did not consume his lifespan. At this time, the life countdown in the corner of his eye showed that he had 9 and a half hours left, which was almost full.

For a normal person, it is a very scary thing to only live for 10 hours, but for Chen Ke now, it is already very comfortable.

From the initial panic to the current stability of an old dog, he has gradually adapted to this fast-paced and high-intensity way of survival.

He feels that he lives a much more fulfilling life than in the past, and he works very hard every hour.

The three of them took a taxi back to the gun store.

Pihom looked at the phone that Hall handed over, and his expression on his face could not tell his mood at the moment. Chen Ke sat on the ammunition box next to him, watching coldly, as if he was out of the matter.

"I will ask Bane to deal with this matter, and then we will know what went wrong." Pihom said.

"What about now? Just wait?" Chen Ke asked.

"I know what you are thinking, Chen Ke. It's good to be motivated, but you have to look far ahead. Before we figure this out, no matter what we do, it will be passive. Now, all we can do is wait." Pihom said.

Chen Ke nodded. What Pihom said made sense. But he couldn't just sit and wait.

"Although this mission failed, I have to say that you are very good. I will deposit a sum of money into your offshore account. Take a good rest for a while before Bain gives me a message." Pihom clapped his hands.

Offshore account?

Chen Ke's eyes lit up. This is a very useful thing. This kind of account refers to a bank account opened by citizens outside the country of residence, which is not subject to the supervision of the country of residence. Chen Ke doesn't want to run around with a lot of cash in the future. He must find a way to get one.

"By the way, Chen Ke, I don't have your account. You didn't even leave me a phone number." Pihom remembered at this time.

"My phone number is... By the way, that offshore account, can you help me get one?" Chen Ke said.

"Well... I understand what you mean, but it costs a lot of money to forge a set of legal documents." Pihom is indeed an old hand, and you can hear a lot of meaning in one sentence.

"Okay, as long as it can solve the problem of saving money." Chen Ke smiled.

"Okay, then I'll help you make one first." Pihom nodded.

There is nothing to do now. Staying here can only watch the life countdown pass mercilessly. Chen Ke simply got up and walked towards the door of the safe house.

"Hey? Where are you going?" Priskin asked.

"I'm going out to have some fun." Chen Ke turned around and replied.

"I said I would help you modify a handy gun, but you haven't named it yet!" Priskin smiled.

Chen Ke stood in front of the door and thought for a while, and soon thought of a name.

"Call it, life countdown."
