Chapter 444 Leak
As the morning hours approached, the guards took over in batches.
Looking at Xu Ruoguang standing in front of everyone with a silent face, even these retired android veterans who had come from the military camp had to admire him from the bottom of their hearts.
They were already famous for not treating themselves as human beings, but the captain of the Black Street Guard was far better than that.
Since these veterans served under the captain, no matter day or night, the captain was always the leader of the team. None of them had seen the captain have a moment of rest.
He was simply a superman!
So when facing Xu Ruoguang's questions, they also looked a little embarrassed because of awe.
"Where are the four old Songs?"
"He... he is not feeling well today."
"... Uncomfortable?" Xu Ruoguang frowned slightly, and his young and handsome face looked unexpectedly majestic.
These veterans all retired from the battlefield, and those who were able to be released from the military camp basically had extremely serious disabilities.
Even though these veterans have almost all replaced their mechanical prostheses, pain still accompanies them from time to time.
Because the minor pain caused by old injuries has long sharpened the nerves of these veterans, and minor pain will even be directly filtered out by them subconsciously.
And the pain that is enough to make them feel irresistible... probably won't be resisted alone in the camp.
Therefore, even after such a long time, these veterans still haven't completely opened up to the black street... or to the adults.
Privately, they still have resource channels that only they can master.
For example... prostheses.
Money is one thing, and channels are another.
The current black street is still rich in wealth because of several steel business transactions before and after, especially the fleet of steel that was just shipped back from outside in the past two days has just been traded, making the current wealth of the black street considerable.
But it is still difficult for them to find channels for related resources by themselves.
And now the so-called excuse of discomfort is probably to contact those unknown channels privately again.
‘We must find a chance to discipline these guys…’ Xu Ruoguang’s eyes flickered, and he swept his gaze across the row of veteran guards in front of him, and shouted, “Stand at attention!”
“Swish!”
“Under the leadership of the adults, the Black Street has become much richer recently, and the outside forces have coveted us more brazenly. I think you should all know this. We are a whole, and the adults have also entrusted the security responsibilities of the Black Street to me… and you. If there are any problems in the Black Street, the adults will not be happy. If the adults are unhappy, none of us can escape.”
Xu Ruoguang’s eyes slowly swept across the faces of each veteran, and his tone was cold and stern, “Don’t be careless, the adults will be angry, and I will be angry too. Remember, you, there is no chance to make mistakes!”
“Yes!”
Even though they have been away from the barracks for a long time, the discipline of the veterans is still there.
The voices of the answers were uniform.
After Xu Ruoguang turned around, several veterans looked at each other silently, communicating the meaning in their eyes.
‘Where did Song Laosi go? The doctor hasn’t contacted us recently? ’
‘Who knows…’
‘Maybe he is someone in the barracks? It's not easy to cut off the traffic over there. Just go back and remind Song Laosi. '
According to the usual practice, the guards first patrol the edge of the Black Street.
When the guards came to the direction of the Black Street closest to the wild, Xu Ruoguang, who heard some movement, raised his eyebrows slightly.
There was movement in the distance.
"Quiet!" With an order, the guards stopped.
Xu Ruoguang closed his eyes and listened attentively.
"Boom boom boom..."
The image flashed by.
Xu Ruoguang opened his eyes, his eyes like lightning.
'A small convoy came? '
The convoy from the Black Street had returned two days ago. Who will it be this time?
The army? Or other forces in the city?
As the tattered convoy appeared in Xu Ruoguang's eyes in the white light of the morning sun, several familiar faces also poked their heads out of the car windows.
Kuang Xin, who had the loudest voice, took the lead, standing on the front of the car and waving his arms hard, "Hey! Xiaoguang! We are back!"
It's Kuang Xin and the others!
Xu Ruoguang was delighted.
When the convoy slowly drove to a nearby stop, he asked, "Why are you back? Didn't you follow the adults to complete the mission?"
"I have to come back..." Kuang Xin was the first to jump out of the car, and turned to help open the doors of other vehicles.
Dai Lian jumped out of the main car, stretched his waist, and explained with a smile, "The mission is completed, but the brothers are also disabled. Aren't we coming back to ask the organization for help..."
Kuang Xin opened the car door and patted the iron door with a smile, shouting, "Brothers, get off, we are home."
The players of Gray Iron City who were missing arms and legs helped each other down from the dark carriage, and looked at the row of guards who were waiting in front of them. They didn't dare to make a noise at the first time.
For them, players who were missing arms and legs were not a big deal. As long as they were not dead, they could explore new game content.
But places with good order, like Gray Iron City, always made them feel a little scared subconsciously.
It's not about fear of power, but about the boring game content under the power.
"Is this our base?" A player approached Kuang Xin carefully and asked.
"Of course... Don't be afraid, we're home! This is our real territory." Kuang Xin looked at the rows of ridges in the distance, and smiled with some relief.
Dawn Town is too far from Blackwater City. Even if they ask for help immediately and the adults drive the mecha to support, it will take at least an hour on the road.
Only next to the military camp in Blackwater City can they truly feel the peace of mind under the protection of adults.
Looking at the lineup with almost all members injured, Xu Ruoguang's eyes were full of surprise, "Turtle! What mission did you do? How could you be so miserable?"
"Don't say it, we encountered the revenge of those petty intelligent machines. Fortunately, the adults drove the mecha pilot to support us, otherwise we would be really finished this time." After the incident, every surviving party has the qualification to talk about it easily, "Mecha! This is the first time I have seen a real mecha in this game! Damn! So cool!"
"Mecha?" Xu Ruoguang's eyes condensed slightly.
Last night, someone in the black street said that they heard a huge noise in the direction of the military camp. It is said that a "giant" several dozen meters high flashed by.
Then followed by a whole convoy driving out of the military camp.
The military camp was noisy all night, and the dazzling laser lights illuminated half of the sky.
Such a big commotion, could it be caused by the adults?
Hearing Xu Ruoguang's feedback, Gu Lan nodded thoughtfully, "Probably, anyway, those so-called specialists in the military camp asked us for a long time. It seems that the adults went out privately this time, and it will be a bit troublesome when they return. But this is the first time we know the real identity of the adults in the military camp. I didn't expect that in addition to the captain of the special forces, the adults are also a mecha driver."
Said waving his hand indifferently, "Hey, don't say it, quickly find a way to install prosthetic limbs for them... These are the players who followed us to make revolution from Gray Iron City. This time, the Avengers who stubbornly resisted the intelligent machines were all disabled. We can't treat them unfairly."
The identity of the adults in the military camp is not important. No matter what the identity of the adults is in the NPC world, in Gu Lan's eyes, the adults are their adults. Even if the adults with that kind of strength do not have a high status in the military camp, they are still potential dragons in the abyss, deliberately hiding their edge.
Judging from the words and attitudes of the investigation specialists in the military camp, it is an unimaginable miracle that my master alone drove a mecha to destroy the entire intelligent machine revenge army.
As long as the NPCs in the military camp are not stupid, my master will probably get more important job responsibilities after he returns after exposing his strength this time.
There is nothing for the master to worry about, and they, the player brothers, should be more concerned.
"Prosthetic limbs..." Xu Ruoguang hesitated.
I just thought of this, but I didn't expect that it would be involved now.
The channels for prosthetic limbs are in the hands of these veterans behind me. Although they are respectful to me on the surface, these veterans have always been very secretive and silent when it comes to their private "relationships".
Seeing Xu Ruoguang's embarrassed expression, Dai Lian asked curiously: "Is it difficult? Black Street should be quite rich now, right?"
"Money is okay, but some things can't be done with money..." Xu Ruoguang glanced at the old guards standing in a row behind him, and then approached Dai Lian and whispered: "Let's not talk about this, let's settle them down to rest first, and I will talk to you privately about the prosthetics later."
Dai Lian didn't waste any words and agreed, "Okay."
The convoy drove into Black Street, and the scenery along the way fell into the eyes of every player from Gray Iron City in the car.
The buildings in Black Street are indeed old, and most of the people are ordinary people.
However, the vigorous and sunny vigor is indeed the positive and optimistic that they have never felt in Gray Iron City.
Kuang Xin and his friends were so lucky to be born in such an environment, and to have a boss who protects them...
When they came to a newly built area of slab buildings, Xu Ruoguang extended his hand to guide them, "This place was originally intended to be a new environment for some people living in poor conditions, but now that they are here, let them rest here first, and when we think of a way, we will install prosthetic limbs for them."
Speaking, Xu Ruoguang turned his head and looked at the guards who had been following behind him, "You go on patrol first, I have to arrange various affairs for these newcomers."
The deputy captain saluted and responded calmly, "Yes! Sir!"
Watching the guards trotting away, facing the gazes of Kuang Xin and others, Xu Ruoguang smiled bitterly and shook his head, "These veterans have never submitted to me wholeheartedly, and the only channel for installing prosthetic limbs is them. Yes, if we rush to find them, we will only be ripped off. It's okay to be ripped off, but we are afraid that we will spend all the spare money of the black street now, and still not be able to install safe and useful prosthetic limbs for all these brothers. "
"What should we do then?"
"We promised these brothers that we would definitely help them install prosthetic limbs that are stronger and more useful than their original bodies."
Xu Ruoguang smiled bitterly and shook his head, "There is no rush, we must catch their handles and let them contribute themselves, otherwise they will not let go."
"Do you have any clues?"
"It's hard to say..." Xu Ruoguang's eyes were weak, looking into the distance, "Some of them still have lingering relationships with the outside world, and I don't know who the other party is for the time being. If we can get some ready-made evidence, it is not impossible to force them to surrender. "
Xu Ruoguang's eyes lit up as he spoke, "But it's much easier now that you're back. I was the only one there before, and I always had to lead the team to appear in public. It was easy for them to avoid me. Now that you're back, I think it's possible for you to track and investigate privately."
"Okay!" Kuang Xin was very happy. As long as there was something to do, he was very happy. "We'll go and be your spies!"
...
After a whole day of work, the sun slowly set over the distant hills.
Everything in the black street at dusk seemed quite lazy, and the veteran guards, who were divided into three shifts, once again ushered in the handover.
The veterans who returned to the veteran camp couldn't help but get angry when they saw a figure swaying in the rocking chair in the camp.
"Song Laosi! You are really good! What did you do today? Let's give that kid a good scolding!"
"Scandal?" The rocking chair paused, and the tall and thin old soldier lying on it tilted his skinny and scary face, but his eyes were as bright as two shining black gems, "He will no longer be qualified to scold us!"
"Scared!" The old soldiers did not hear Song Laosi's words clearly, but were shocked by Song Laosi's scary face now, "Song Laosi, how did you become like this?"
"I became like this?" Song Laosi, who was dry and thin like the bark of an old tree, tilted his neck to the right exaggeratedly, and the angle was even incredible at 90 degrees, "What have I become?"
The tone of voice sounded eerie, and the movements and expressions made the old soldiers who looked at Song Laosi feel a little creepy.
"Song Laosi, are you okay?"
"What? What could possibly happen to me?" Song Laosi's mouth corners raised exaggeratedly to both sides, and the corners of his mouth hung behind his ears like an inhuman, "The one who has something wrong should be the owner of this black street, the mysterious... master."
"Master? What happened to our master?" an old soldier asked curiously.
Regardless of whether they still have some of their own little thoughts, they all have awe for the mysterious master who has completely changed the black street.
Knowing that the other party also came from the military camp, they have always privately planned to bring that master into their final plan.
Song Laosi nodded slightly, and said in a faint tone, "I met Ge Lan in the military camp today... Guess what he said to me?"
"What did he say?" An old soldier subconsciously answered, and suddenly froze, realizing the logical relationship between Song Laosi's words before and after, "You mean... it has something to do with our master?"
