Chapter 91 Chapter 89 Echoes of the Past

The armored vehicle drove on the streets of Peicheng, occasionally attracting attention, but overall it was not eye-catching, which was exactly the effect Zhuang Xuteng hoped to achieve. This classic old model was often modified and used as a variety of engineering vehicles after the war, and their car also followed the same pattern, spray-painted with the words "Roadside Assistance" advertising. During the execution of the commission, being too ordinary or too specific is a wrong choice. It is best to make people look at it and forget about it.

But there are some things that even if you want to forget, you simply can't.

"I have never told you what happened before, mainly because I don't want you to be affected." Ge Gongdao looked outside through the narrow observation window, and there was anger that he was trying to suppress in his seemingly calm voice. "Recently, my former traitors are inquiring about us through various channels. It seems that they may harass you. It would be neither wise nor righteous to keep you in the dark at this time."

Zhuang Xuteng grunted and said: "Brother Dao, I've thought about it. In the mercenary business, we have tasks to do and can make money, and there will be those who can't get the tasks and make money. It's only a matter of time before we meet the enemy. It's not a matter of time." Can't avoid it. So, I don't care if it's your trouble or mine, it's just the two of us."

"Well said! I wish I had met you earlier." Ge Gongdao sighed and said: "I once led a team of seven mercenaries, and everyone called me Brother Dao. That traitor Viper is The third-in-command in the team has good marksmanship and uses a Sidewinder 45 military long gun. He is responsible for looking after our backs. The person we are going to meet this time is called Winter Wolf, nicknamed "Ghost", and he is my deputy. "

"The seven of us all have animal-related names or nicknames. Relying on our excellent cooperation, we won many commissions and made a lot of money. At that time, we all agreed to save enough money to get shadow implants together. Use the best goods so that everyone can make progress together. Unexpectedly, Viper took advantage of us and sold us out during the commission. Two of the seven people died. The goods to be escorted were also robbed, and he also took everything away. It’s all on me.”

"Winter Wolf used his genius judgment and believed that Viper, who was seriously injured, was a good guy, and I, who was uninjured, must be the culprit. He left with the rest of the team, leaving me alone to bear the responsibility for compensation. Okay, I’m the captain, I’ll pay for it!”

Ge Gongdao clenched his fists, as if he wanted to crush all yesterday's enemies to death, and then let go after a while. He then said: "Later, Viper's injury healed quickly. I can't say that for everyone. At least that guy Winter Wolf could definitely tell that Viper was faking his injuries. He was the biggest liar. I thought Winter Wolf Wolf would wake up and come to me, but he just parted ways with Viper and then continued to distance himself from me and wanted to lead the team himself.”

"It's a pity that his level is only like that, and he is still the second in command in the new team."

Although there are not many details, the basic character relationships are already clear. "Brother Dao, if this winter wolf apologizes to you, will you forgive him?"

"If it is not related to the entrusted task, if it is not related to interests or life, then if he says sorry to me it is called an apology, otherwise it is called asking for mercy." Ge Gongdao shook his head and said: "No, he will not apologize to me. I don’t think his behavior is an apology either. What happened today is just a commission and has nothing to do with my past grudges.”

"Brother Dao? Brother Dao..."

Ge Gongdao opened his big hands and rubbed his face vigorously, sighed helplessly, and then said: "Indeed, you are right, I don't need to be emotional and lie to myself here. This matter must be related to the resentment in the past, But you don't need to make a decision for me. If you want to shoot, don't hesitate. He didn't spare me then, and he won't do it now. There are only enemies, not old friends."

"Then I understand." Zhuang Xuteng continued moving forward when he saw the green light at the intersection. He noticed that there were more PCPD patrol officers than usual on both sides of the road, and some trainees took to the streets directly wearing training uniforms. The atmosphere in Peicheng became very tense. At this time, you must obey the traffic rules and do not attract unnecessary attention, otherwise you will simply cause trouble for yourself.

"Tell me about the situation this time, Brother Dao." Zhuang Xuteng drove very carefully and could not change lanes without turning on the lights. "Who are we dealing with? What have they done?"

"Winter Wolf's team is called 11 people. It was originally called 13 people, but two died three months ago." Brother Dao said: "They have been preparing for this operation for a long time, and the final target is the Peicheng Fair Identification Center."

Zhuang Xuteng frowned and asked, "What's so good about the appraisal center? I thought it was a bank or a casino."

"The appraisal center is responsible for storing evidence and stolen goods, and some banned contraband is also stored there, waiting to be evaluated one by one. Since many cases will drag on for several years, the value of the items stored there is definitely higher than that of banks and casinos. In addition to selling Besides, if they light a fire and burn the evidence, someone will thank them very much for it.”

"Oh, I see. They are really brave."

"In addition to the identification center, two hospital warehouses, a casino and three bank branches were also attacked, and even six kidnappings occurred at the same time. This is not an ordinary boldness, it is simply going to heaven! Think about it, PCPD We just announced that we have controlled the order in Peicheng, and this happened immediately, how can they not be angry? "

Zhuang Xuteng was puzzled and asked, "With so many things happening, how did you know that the looting identification center was their core target, and how did you determine that it was done by Donglang and his men?"

"We mercenaries have to stand in line, and the middlemen must also protect themselves and make full use of the intelligence network to provide intelligence to the PCPD. Combined with the different commissions from various companies before, it is not difficult to figure out who did what, but how Donglang did it and how he retreated after succeeding, no one knows." Ge Gongdao continued, "The PCPD, like before, needs to solve the case in the shortest time and give an explanation to all citizens. So as long as Donglang's gang escapes and keeps a low profile for a while, they can spend their gains this time. Besides, middlemen in other places don't need to give face to the PCPD. Who doesn't want to get capable subordinates?"

"In short, as long as they escape from Peicheng, they win, and the PCPD must find a scapegoat as soon as possible."

Zhuang Xuteng fully understood that this is essentially a game of hide-and-seek. The PCPD has more resources to mobilize, but they have limited time. And Donglang and his men must stay hidden in the dark, and then find a chance to jump out of the encirclement, so that they can win.

"Tell me about your escape plan at that time?" Zhuang Xuteng said, "How did you want to do it?"

"In simple terms, the stolen goods are hidden under the boat with magnets, and the personnel wear oxygen cylinders, hide in coffins, hide under the bottom of the dredging boat, cover it with thick mud and sand, and then leave from the Pei River. If you encounter divers checking, sink the goods into the river, ensure the safety of the people first, and then come back to find them. As long as you prepare some lead powder in advance, plus stacked sand, you can avoid being checked by the shadow equipment."

"If the river is blocked and ships are not allowed to pass, won't the people inside suffocate to death?"

Ge Gongdao shook his head and said, "I asked Donglang to investigate. He said that the river management bureau was always short of manpower and could not execute all the orders of PCPD. Checking each ship was their limit, and blocking all ships was completely beyond their ability. There were only two problems with this plan: PCPD sent most of its personnel to Peihe River as soon as possible, or the weather was bad and the river water rose due to rain. The dredging ship did not come out when the Peihe River was flooded, and if it appeared, it would be immediately suspected."

The credibility of the escape plan was guaranteed by being able to do such a detailed investigation. When Ge Gongdao heard that Donglang was the deputy of the 11-person team, he speculated on the possible plans he might take based on Donglang's habits, and soon thought of the evacuation method that was not used that year.

Safe evacuation is the top priority of all actions. At that time, only Dao Ge and Donglang knew the plan to evacuate from the river through the dredging ship, and it was kept secret from other team members. Thinking of this, Ge Gongdao was also a little hesitant. If he really saw Donglang in the river, how would the two people feel when they thought about the past and faced the reality?

"But he may not necessarily go through the river. Maybe he has a new plan in the past two years?" Dao Ge patted Zhuang Xuteng's shoulder and said, "The most important thing for us this time is to express our attitude to PCPD so as not to become their scapegoat. Of course, we can't help but be on guard. What if PCPD goes crazy and stabs us in the back?"

"I understand." Zhuang Xuteng nodded, drove the car around the last corner, and pointed to the front: "Dao Ge, we are here. I saw the PCPD police car."

"Park on the other side of the road, not in front of or behind them. Put on the intercom headset, and let's get off the car."

Zhuang Xuteng parked the car, turned off the main steam engine, and let the auxiliary small steam engine continue to run to maintain the water temperature and steam pressure. He then got out of the car and walked towards the PCPD car with Ge Gongdao, raising his right hand as he walked, making an "OK" gesture to indicate his identity.

"What?"

The door of the PCPD car opened, and an acquaintance got out. Zhuang Xuteng was startled, and immediately took two quick steps, stretched out his arm, and said kindly: "Mallory? You look good! Are your injuries all healed? Or are they exploiting you and forcing you to come out to work?"

"It's almost the end of the year, come and work for a few more days, and my bonus level can be raised by one level." Mallory adjusted his belt, moved the walkie-talkie and baton to the side, and then gave Zhuang Xuteng a hug. "I'm so happy to see you again, why are you a mercenary? Hey, is this the medal? You are still wearing it!"

"I heard that we are going to cooperate with PCPD this time, and wearing it can get some preferential treatment, right? But when I see you, I feel embarrassed to wear it, after all, this is what you gave me."

"Correction, it was given to you by the three of us. Come, let me introduce it to you!"
