Chapter 218 Collapse of the City (16)
After stealing the robot dog's chip, Su Yue and the others had to rush back to the neighborhood and hand it over to the owner's wife to complete the mission. So, the time of over an hour, nearly two hours, was actually quite tight.
Not to mention that they now have to warm up with the captain.
If they immediately find an excuse to leave the team, their status as "new members" will probably cause dissatisfaction from the captain and other members.
Although Su Yue made the captain believe them by relying on the short-term mental control, and the team members did not question them for the time being, if they did something too suspicious, even the captain would not be able to convince the team members.
Moreover, Su Yue's mental control is not very strong. The strong stimulation will allow the captain to escape on his own. Because if the mental control is too strong, the person will be dumbfounded for a while after the control is released.
Considering that the NPC will be used in the subsequent plot, Su Yue usually won't be too harsh.
So I could only follow the captain and the others first.
The warm-up location is on the third floor, which has a large terrace. The intensity of the exercise is very high. You start by wearing all the equipment and doing one-arm push-ups with one hand behind your back.
Or when you lie down on your stomach, your hands must leave the ground briefly, and then you stretch out your hands to support yourself when you are about to hit the ground.
Such high-intensity training does have its benefits, but it cannot be sustained for too long.
So the team members were divided into two groups, taking turns practicing and resting.
Su Yue and Zhao Shuo are in one group, and Cang Zhi is in another group, so no matter which group finds a gap to slip away, they can seize the opportunity at the first time.
After doing three sets of 30 difficult one-arm push-ups, even someone as strong as Su Yue felt a little breathless. Zhao Shuo was basically collapsed there, and the other team members looked similar, wishing they could crawl to the rest area.
Su Yue helped pull them to lie down on the soft mats to rest, including the young man. After doing three sets of push-ups, the young man's face turned red.
He stared at Su Yue for a long time, then gave her a weak thumbs-up. "That's amazing. No wonder we said we weren't hiring any new members, but we still brought you into the team."
Su Yue didn't dare ask why they weren't hiring new members. He was afraid that too many contradictions would affect his control over the captain's mind. So he smiled and changed the subject: "Of course, but this is too tiring. Are you guys working at this high intensity every day?"
"Of course," the young man replied, "If the intensity isn't high, we won't be able to cope with all kinds of emergencies."
Su Yue intentionally or unintentionally sat next to the young man and asked casually, "You continue to work so hard, the salary should be very good, right?"
"Bullshit." The young man looked at him in surprise. If it were just now, he would definitely doubt Su Yue's identity, but they had just gone through a hellish warm-up training together. Not only were they physically exhausted, but their psychological defenses would also be more fragile.
The young man said, "Captain, didn't I tell you that we basically don't get paid. We rely on our belief and fight for a better future for Nightfall City and its residents."
Su Yue was stunned.
But they are clearly enemies of the residents of Night City. How can this be called "fighting for the future of the residents of Night City"?
This question had to be asked tactfully to avoid raising any alarm. Fortunately, the young man was quite talkative, and without Su Yue asking, he spoke on his own, "If it weren't for those underground gangs in Night City joining forces and constantly opposing us, the patrols wouldn't have to put in much effort to restore order in the city. There wouldn't be such a hard time every day."
"To restore order in the city?" Su Yue asked.
"Ah." The young man wiped his sweat. "I don't understand what he means either. Anyway, it's for our own good, so let him be."
Su Yue nodded.
Judging from the limited information, the boss lady's side represents justice and the mechanical rabbit's side represents evil. There is nothing wrong with this general direction, but the patrolman, as a thug, may have been deceived in it, and it is still uncertain.
As they were talking, the second group had finished warming up and it was the first group's turn. Most of the players had not yet recovered and were dragged to the warm-up area with sighs.
There were another three sets of 30 high-intensity exercise movements. After finishing them, even Su Yue broke out in a thin layer of sweat, and the others were almost collapsing.
In the second group, Cang Zhi was also very conspicuous. He had nothing to do after training, while the others were basically lying on the mat, unable to move.
Su Yue came down to rest, and Cangzhi and his group went up to warm up.
Su Yue considered making up an excuse, like having to go to the bathroom, to leave the warm-up room and go upstairs. But then he realized the warehouse upstairs must have complicated entry credentials, and even if he could get in, he probably wouldn't be able to steal the robot dog.
Just then the captain came over and pointed at Su Yue: "New guy, you look quite strong, come up and help me move things."
He nodded at Cangzhi again: "And you, come and help."
Wow.
Isn't the opportunity here?
.
Su Yue responded immediately, and pretended to be confused and enthusiastic like a newcomer as he walked towards the captain.
The robot dog was not very big, and Su Yue could just put it in his arms and walk away. As long as he could get into the warehouse, the mission would be accomplished.
Of course, Zhao Shuo, who hadn't been called, had to retreat. But Zhao Shuo was very smart. When he saw Su Yue and Cang Zhi being called, he immediately asked the leader of his group, "Brother, I need to go to the bathroom. Can I go? Where is it?"
"Of course you can." The team member enthusiastically pointed the way to Zhao Shuo, "There's nothing on this floor. We have to go downstairs."
"Okay." Zhao Shuo stood up. His legs felt weak because he was sore all over. "Thanks, buddy."
On the other side, Su Yue and Cang Zhi had already followed the captain and were walking upstairs to the warehouse.
Apart from the very strict entrance inspection, the environment on the first, second and third floors of this small building is actually quite casual, but as you go up further, the security becomes instantly stricter.
As soon as you go upstairs, you will see three automatic identity verification devices in a row. The door frames of the three inspection doors are made of heavy iron-gray metal, and it looks like a prison when you look inside.
Fortunately, all three identity verifications only verified the captain's ID card. Su Yue and Cang Zhi followed him in silently. There were lockers on both sides with complicated numbers on them. Su Yue took a quick look and found that they were basically all weapons.
There were many patrolmen in the warehouse aisle on the fourth floor. They were walking back and forth in the aisle with ray guns in their hands. When they passed by, Su Yue did not move his eyes at all. The patrolmen continued to patrol back and forth as if they did not see the three of them.
The captain took them up another floor. As soon as they reached the upper floor, Su Yue paused slightly.
Because in the warehouse on the top floor, the most eye-catching thing is a metal fence, and behind the metal fence is a robot dog that is resting.
"We're going to move a car," the captain said. "It's said it'll be our patrol car from now on. Follow me, it's in the warehouse at the back."
Su Yue gently patted Cang Zhi's right arm, which meant "act alone." Cang Zhi understood and stepped forward, saying, "I'll go with you."
"Ah? Are you coming with me alone?" The captain was stunned. "Why?"
"It's a mess here. Let me help clear out an aisle first." Su Yue replied.
"I have enough strength to help." Cang Zhi said.
"Oh, okay." The captain didn't think much about it, "Then come with me."
.
The density of patrollers on the fifth floor is much smaller than that on the fourth floor, so after the captain left, Su Yue had a lot of room to operate.
The mechanical dog was just behind the fence. He roughly estimated that it would only take ten seconds to climb over the fence and escape during the gap between the two groups of patrolmen.
The key point is that this process must not alarm the patrolmen downstairs, otherwise all the patrolmen will rush up and it will be difficult for him to handle it.
It’s not difficult at all.
Su Yue pretended to bend down to pave the way, calculating that the patrolman behind him had already passed by. He waited for another second, walked quickly forward, and lightly climbed over the fence.
While no one is paying attention——
Seeing the robot dog right in front of him, Su Yue suddenly felt an extremely strong sense of danger, and in an instant he got goose bumps on his arms.
Su Yue turned back quickly.
A faint figure vanished into the air. Just as Su Yue turned around, he seemed to hear the hideous laughter of the gambler's henchman, the clown who could turn invisible.
Su Yue's pupils suddenly shrank.
The familiar, fluorescent green little bomb appeared without warning, like a phantom. Su Yue wished it was really a phantom, but then it fell to the ground with a "bang" and bounced twice.
Bang--
.
“Who is it?”
Along with the captain's shout, in an instant, all the patrols, the muzzles of ray guns, the laser barrels hidden in the warehouse, all the red lines intertwined like a net, all locked onto Su Yue within the fence.
