Chapter 76 Map
In the Igwinter Security Bureau, everything suddenly became busy, people came and went, and the alarm bell for gathering kept ringing in the underground space.
At this time, Brandon was also busy at his workstation. He was anxiously dealing with the equipment collection process for the hunters together with two captains of the hunter team. Looking at the column of the task target on the equipment collection form registered on the document in his hand, Brandon was surprised.
"The flooded dock...really...half an hour early. Did something unexpected happen? Do you want to use the Dream Anchor to confirm with Mr. Buck later? No...Mr. Buck has already told me to use the Dream Anchor to notify him only when the Hunter Squad does not attack or delays the attack, but they attacked very quickly this time..."
Brandon thought with a little worry in his heart. After finally completing the equipment collection procedures for the hunter team and watching them leave from the secret channel team, Brandon continued to think with a frown as he sat down.
"Never mind. The hunter team has already gone out, and the destination is indeed the ambush site set by Mr. Buck... According to what Mr. Buck said before, he had already set up the ambush, so there should be no problem. The signal is half an hour faster, so it must be affected by some unknown factors, so it was sent in advance. Although it is a little early, everything is still as planned. Maybe the person in the florist got the time wrong. And, the Dream Anchor Talisman is very precious. I only have one now, and I can't use it easily..."
As he thought about it, Brandon's expression became determined.
"Although the signal coming earlier is unexpected, everything is still going according to plan. Now the hunters are out and James is not here, this is my chance... Mr. Buck told me to act according to circumstances, so I can't be rigid. Since the signal came earlier, my actions must also be earlier."
As he thought about it, Brandon turned around and looked at the heavy iron gate behind him, his eyes becoming gloomy.
Then, without anyone noticing, Brandon took out a heavy iron key, walked up to the iron door, inserted the key into the hole, opened the iron door, and entered.
…
In the busy lobby of the Cypress Hill Building, a woman named Ada, who wore glasses and had slightly gray hair, was sitting behind the front desk after five rounds of inspection. She kept copying something and muttered to herself as she copied.
"One bouquet last month, one bouquet every day, haha... When did I start accepting flowers here? Young people nowadays... can't even send letters properly, they have to put them in flowers, how romantic is that?"
As she wrote, Ada adjusted her glasses and said with a little emotion.
"It would be nice if... there was a bouquet just for me..."
"Madam! Hualei Flower Shop's flower delivery service will be delivered to you at 10:30 am as scheduled. It will be delivered on time. Please check it." Not long after Ada finished speaking, a warm voice sounded in front of her. Ada looked up with a strange look and saw that it was a young man holding a bouquet of flowers and handing it to her.
"Ah...just leave it here, thank you young man."
"You're welcome, ma'am. This is a customer's request. The item has been delivered, so I'll take it now."
The young man said this as he trotted out of the hall quickly. Ada looked at the flowers on the table with a hint of surprise on her face.
"It's only been half an hour and... another bunch has arrived. Haha... If we get a few more, we can open a flower shop in the bureau..."
As Ada spoke, she turned her gaze to the small envelope in the flowers. She took out the small envelope, opened it and pulled out the message card inside. After taking a closer look, her brows frowned slightly.
"To the respected guardians of Igwynt, the Red Communion will hold a meeting at 11:30 am on this morning in Warehouse No. 1 in the East Warehouse Area of Flooded Wharf."
Looking at the information on the card in her hand, Ada pondered for a while, then murmured softly with a hint of embarrassment.
"But now those guys have all gone out..."
…
In the morning, east of Igwynte, in the lower reaches of the Iron River.
In the flooded dock, only homeless people and a small number of poor people live here scattered around. Most of the areas are in a dilapidated and deserted state, especially the warehouse area on the east side. This area is full of half-built and abandoned unfinished buildings. Under the repeated erosion of rising waters, many places are extremely dangerous. Therefore, almost no one wants to settle here. This is the most desolate area of the already desolate flooded dock.
From the perspective of concealment, this is also an ideal hiding place, suitable for doing any shameful activities.
Around Warehouse No. 1 in the warehouse area, there stood four unfinished buildings and an abandoned bell tower. At this moment, all the members of the Holy Communion had been stationed in these buildings. There were five or six people in each building. They all held long and short guns, aiming at the central warehouse with hidden shooting holes.
The ambush circle had been set up long ago, and now they were quietly waiting for the prey to come.
"Buck...what time is it now? When will those guys get here?"
Standing in a room on the top of an abandoned clock tower, the old man Ke Chengfu said. Listening to his words, Buck, who was wearing a neat suit and leaning on a ruby cane, glanced at the watch on his wrist and then slowly spoke.
"It's eleven ten now, and we didn't deliver it until half past ten. The Security Bureau is not close to here, and they still need time to prepare. It can't be that fast."
"Hey...prepare? These guys thought we were hunting. None of them knew that they were actually prey...hehe..."
As he spoke, Ke Chengfu smiled sinisterly, while Buck on the other side continued to speak.
"Don't be too happy. If that mysterious society is really James's clone of the Security Bureau, then the hunters won't be fooled. They will either not come out, or come out to catch us after carefully arranging anti-ambush deployments. I have previously instructed Brandon to use the Dream Anchor to notify us directly if they do not attack or delay the attack."
As Buck spoke, he glanced at the ground beside him, where a member of the communion was sleeping soundly. He was in a dream state at the moment and was the key to receiving information from dreams.
"But there's still no news from him, which proves that we were worrying too much. James probably knows nothing about that mysterious society. They should be rushing towards us now..."
Buck continued to speak, and Ke Chengfu nodded after listening.
"Hmm... I hope those guys come and die soon. I can't wait any longer. Now there's no news from even the sentry. This proves that they haven't entered the dock yet..."
"Don't worry. I think it won't be long before the sentry notices them coming in. Stay focused and wait for the sentry's signal..."
“Bang!!”
Before Buck could finish his words, a loud gunshot rang out in the air. In front of everyone's astonishment, a flower of blood burst out from Buck's head at that moment, and then he fell down with a frozen expression.
At this moment, in a room on the third floor of a three-story building 700 meters away from the clock tower, Elena, holding a rifle, pulled the bolt to eject the bullet. The muzzle of the gun, which was pointed out from the window at the distant clock tower, was still emitting blue smoke.
With one eye squinted, Elena still maintained the aiming posture, and there was no optical sight installed on the back of the entire rifle.
"Thank you, Holy Father, for giving me the light and enlightenment."
Muttering, Elena loaded the next bullet into the chamber, then turned to Gregor and continued speaking.
"It seems that I shot the boss in the head, so we can attack now."
"Well, you are indeed Elena, and you are indeed the guide of the 'light'..."
With a smile, Gregor stuck the bloody blade into the ground, and then looked at a map unfolded on the ground.
This is a very detailed hand-drawn map. The area depicted on the map is exactly the flooded wharf. On this map, every building and every road in the flooded wharf is depicted in detail, and there are also a lot of signs on the map.
There were annotations under these signs, which indicated various information such as ambush points, number of ambushers, detection sentries, camouflage, etc. Among them, the ambush points were all centered around Warehouse No. 3, and the sentries were spread throughout the flooded docks.
However, most of these secret sentry points have now been marked with a cross, and it was the sword in Gregor's hand that marked them with a cross.
