Zhuang Mian was mumbling and cursing, and it didn't seem like he was in the middle of a fierce gunfight at all.
"Senior, it's already this time..."
An uneasy look emerged on Tang Qing's face beneath the gas mask - even if you want to raid someone's house, you at least have to walk out of here alive, right?
"You are right."
Zhuang Mian simply responded, and then, under the cover of smoke, began to counterattack against the possible enemies in the corridor ahead.
The density of their gunfire was obviously not as high as the previous one. The sparse gunfire reached El's ears, and a kind smile appeared on his face:
"It's time, charge!"
Li Rui showed determination on his face when he heard that, and then he jumped out of the corridor holding a submachine gun that had been scrapped in the archives.
Amid the sound of "da da da" gunfire, dozens of bullet holes appeared in the concrete culvert above again.
Beside him, El changed into another set of clothes.
At the same time, Zhuang Mian on the other side of the smoke also very keenly captured the vague figure.
After simply comparing that person with the target in the plan, Zhuang Mian confirmed that the man was the target that El threw to him.
As the first place shooter of that session, Zhuang Mian finally stopped hiding his marksmanship.
It took almost no time to aim, and after a few shots, the sound of a heavy object falling into the water was heard from the other side of the sewer.
The target seemed to have been killed.
Things didn't have to be so troublesome, but with Tang Qing as an observer by her side, Zhuang Mian couldn't let her off too much. The next step would be very simple anyway, because the Mind Flayer had been killed by her, and the corresponding evidence had been prepared in the nearby sewers.
The smoke slowly dissipated. Tang Qing and Zhuang Mian leaned out from behind the bunker and confirmed that the body lying more than ten meters away was no longer moving.
"Let's go and have a look."
Zhuang Mian could see the timidity that this junior was trying his best to conceal, so he walked ahead as if nothing had happened.
The two men quickly came to the body, and Zhuang Mian bent down and began a simple search.
The body belonged to a middle-aged man with an untidy beard and obvious secretions in the corners of his eyes. It was obvious that he was a guy who didn't pay much attention to hygiene.
His body was relatively well-proportioned, with three bullet holes on his right shoulder, left chest and left abdomen, from which blood was still gushing out.
But the flow rate has slowed down a little bit, and it seems to be completely dead.
"His clothes also match the description of the missing supplies. This should be the man. Let's search the surroundings to see if there are other... who?!"
Zhuang Mian instantly looked to the side, his eyes so sharp that they were frightening.
Tang Qing also looked in the same direction.
"No, don't shoot."
A slightly childish voice came from the corner of the corridor:
"Don't shoot, I'll do anything."
"Hands up, come out!"
Following Tang Qing's threats, a gray-haired boy poked his head out from the corner of the corridor:
"Who are you?"
The clothes he was wearing were different from the corpse on the ground. Although they were stained with many marks, they could not hide the temperament of a normal inner-city boy.
"Who are you? Why are you here?"
"My name is El, and I was...tied here by him after school today."
The gray-haired boy pointed at the corpse whose half head was submerged in sewage and said timidly.
"oh?"
Tang Qing's eyes moved back and forth between the corpse and the boy:
"Did he say anything to you?"
The boy nodded hurriedly:
"He said I was worth 200,000 information coins, and that he would send a letter to my home tomorrow..."
"So that's how it is. Don't worry, we will protect you."
In just a few seconds, Tang Qing had figured out the whole story.
It turned out to be a kidnapping. No wonder the Mind Flayer always has plenty of funds. This guy might not have done this for the first time.
For the wealthy people in the inner city, two hundred thousand information coins are nothing, and they certainly won’t easily alert the Public Security Bureau and the superpowers.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart at how good his luck was.
Life is really like a roller coaster, with ups and downs. Just now I was worried about being shot to death, but now I can reap the fruits of victory by stepping on the enemy's corpse. What's even better is that I actually have an extra reward -
Two hundred thousand information coins were nothing to him and his family, but favors from certain important people were not.
However, there was actually someone who shared this great achievement with me...
Is this good? This is not good.
"Turn around, kid, don't look at the body."
Tang Qing's tone softened a little and he motioned for the gray-haired boy to turn around.
The other party looked at the wall very obediently, and then was hit on the shoulder by the butt of a gun.
"what you do?"
Zhuang Mian didn't expect such a development and couldn't help but ask out loud.
Looking at the boy's slowly falling figure, Tang Qing tilted his head and said:
"Senior, the child might have nightmares if he sees us searching the body... He doesn't look like he comes from an ordinary family. This is for his own good."
"That's true."
Zhuang Mian leaned over again and began to search for valuable items. At the same time, he turned on the communicator on his ear:
"Attention, all teams. Those who have completed the cleanup should move towards Area 3. Be careful on the road..."
It seemed as if a bird was flying very fast past his ear. Zhuang Mian subconsciously reached out to touch his empty ear, and looked at Tang Qing who was crushing the communicator... and the gun barrel pointing at his forehead.
"Thank you for bringing me here, Senior."
The gentle younger generation showed an ambiguous smile on his face:
"If I can improve myself through this opportunity, I will definitely not forget my predecessors in the future."
Zhuang Mian’s expression turned cold.
At this moment, no matter what you say, it is all in vain.
Some things are better for everyone if they are not spoken out, but once they are spoken out, there will be no room for maneuver.
Even if Tang Qing put down the gun at this moment and told Zhuang Mian that he was just joking, the relationship between the two had already become irreconcilable.
Both parties understood this truth, so Tang Qing just said a few simple words and prepared to say goodbye, while Zhuang Mian's face was ashen but he did not show any intention of begging for his life.
Tang Qing threw the crushed communicator to the ground, stepped out with his right foot and began to crush it, saying calmly:
"Zhuang Mian, the 50th graduate of the Inner City Police Academy, goodbye."
“Cough cough cough!”
Suddenly, a deafening cough was heard in the sewer. The sound was quite deep and loud, and it was transmitted to far away places through the long corridor.
Tang Qing looked towards his feet in shock, only to see that the bandit leader, who had been shot three times, had begun to twitch, blood was oozing from the corners of his mouth, and the bullet holes on his body were slowly healing.
"Ahem~ You guys are still quite lively."
The middle-aged man propped himself up and looked upward, commenting in the tone of a comedy critic:
"It's a pity that I couldn't hold it in longer...but it was worth the money!"
