Gao Yuan opened the electronic map configured on the console and drove the armored tank towards the mechanical gate on the city wall. The street buildings and dim street lights on both sides of the field of vision were retreating at high speed. There are still 10 minutes left before closing time, and an armored fighting vehicle is enough as a vehicle.
In the quiet car, Wu Qi suddenly asked: "Charlotte, what is your reason for chasing us?"
"revenge."
Wu Qi said bluntly: "It's probably because you are afraid that we will reveal Macdonald's secret, otherwise you would not have spent so much money to bribe the base guard responsible for public security, and even expelled the residents nearby. If it was just revenge, You can choose to wait for me to leave the city wall and drive after me."
Charlotte was silent for a moment. He had already expected that Wu Qi would guess it, so he didn't speak harshly.
"I admit that you are right. Tonight's battle was originally intended to drive you all away. In this world, living people will leak secrets for various reasons, and only the dead have the strictest mouths."
This is the theory that Charlotte believes in, but what Ruorong teaches Wu Qi is exactly the opposite. Corpses can impart information, and living people can carry secrets into coffins.
However, Wu Qi did not choose to argue because the communication between him and Charlotte was meaningless.
After a series of incidents in the G032 base, the theme of their relationship can only be hostility and hatred. Even if a temporary agreement is reached now, it's just that Wu Qi wants to leave the G011 base, and Charlotte doesn't want to die.
The environment returned to silence, no one spoke, and there was only the sound of armored vehicles moving forward in the air.
After a 7-minute journey, the armored combat vehicle finally arrived at the 40-meter-high dark gray city wall before the access control time.
Wu Qi saw this tall and majestic city wall up close again, and felt an unreal feeling of escaping from death.
The cold moonlight shone from the back of the city wall, elongating the shadow of the huge city wall with no end to the left and right. A circle of shadow spread on the open space 200 meters away from the block buildings and the city wall. A cool south wind blew close to the ground, kicking up a burst of white dust.
The armored fighting vehicle slowly drove into the passage under the mechanical gate. Wu Qi could see that the familiar soldier was still on duty.
Charlotte said abruptly: "According to the agreement, it's time to let me go."
Wu Qi said calmly: "Let you go? Who knows if you have planted a remote-controlled bomb in a corner of the armored fighting vehicle."
"You!" Charlotte was furious for a moment. He thought to himself, could Wu Qi intend to break the contract
Charlotte suppressed her anger. After all, he was a prisoner now. He said: "Since you are afraid that I will load a bomb on the armored tank, you should leave on foot."
"That's not possible. We're on foot. What if you catch up quickly in a car?" Gao Yuan, who was controlling the steering wheel, retorted.
The armored fighting vehicle was still slowly driving into the passage. The white motorized fence moved away, and familiar soldiers stepped forward, ready to inspect the suspicious armored vehicle that left the city at the gate time.
Charlotte saw an opportunity and tried to threaten Wu Qi.
"Wu Qi, if you don't let me go here, I will yell at you for kidnapping when the inspecting soldiers come over. As long as I reveal my identity as Charlotte Leroy, do you think the soldiers will stand still?" My side, or your side.”
Wu Qi had already thought of a compromise. He ignored Charlotte's threat and stated his decision calmly: "It was just a joke. You can get off now. After all, you are a time bomb. I don't know. When will you regain your strength? With your nature and self-esteem, I'm afraid you will even break your hands and run away."
Charlotte snorted, it was not an enemy's turn to guess his character and self-esteem.
Wu Qi simply untied the wire rope binding Charlotte's wrists. He pressed the metal button on the iron box with his index finger and released the 3-meter wire rope which was then pulled into the iron box by the rotating device without any trace of it being exposed.
Wu Qi threw the iron box up with his palm. The iron box spun a few times in the air before falling steadily back into his hand. Wu Qi looked very relaxed, while Charlotte carefully checked around her wrists, arms, neck, cheeks and other parts where the wire rope might still be hidden, and then she safely opened the door and got out of the car.
"The agreement is not over yet," Wu Qi's voice suddenly sounded behind Charlotte, "I can't control your behavior tomorrow, but in the last few minutes before the access time ends today, you just stay in the city wall. Otherwise I can't guarantee that I will unconditionally spread MacDonald's secrets."
Charlotte glanced back with hatred. Wu Qi didn't care about Charlotte's hateful eyes. His smile, half covered by shadows, looked more like a devil in Charlotte's eyes.
"Although leaking information has no real benefit to me, I hope you understand that when a person has nothing to lose, he has nothing to fear."
This is not "hope", it is simply coercion.
Charlotte looked away. He walked straight forward into the base and walked five meters away from the armored fighting vehicle.
The familiar soldiers came to the window of the armored vehicle. Wu Qi rolled down the rear window and handed over the ID cards of the three of them.
The soldier took the ID card and read it again, then glanced at Charlotte's back without saying anything else. After working all day, the soldier's eyes were full of exhaustion, and now he just wanted to go home from get off work after the gate control time.
But the rules still have to be followed. Any vehicle or person who leaves before the end of the access control will be carefully checked.
Another soldier came up and ordered in a stern voice: "Those who leave the city before the gate control must get out of the car and be carefully interrogated."
Guo Baibo and Gao Yuan looked at Wu Qi in unison, and Wu Qi's eyes meant tacit approval.
The three people got out of the car and asked two soldiers to check their personal clothes and the inside of the car to ensure that they did not carry anything suspicious out of the city overnight.
"Okay, you can leave." Another soldier said solemnly, then returned to his post, preparing to close the gate on time after the last batch of vehicles leaving the city left the passage.
The familiar soldier waved his hand, signaling Wu Qi and others to leave quickly, as they also had to get off work.
The soldier also specifically added: "Be careful when driving in the wilderness at night and be careful of nocturnal mutant animals."
The soldier's casual words were a special kind of warmth to the three people who had lost their roots and were about to flee into the wilderness. The soldier didn't know that this was the last time he saw Wu Qi and others, and Wu Qi wouldn't tell him.
The silent moonlit night can always give people a lot of feelings, and the high-hanging jade plate can always make people fall into distant memories. The endless wilderness was covered with silver moonlight, and a backlit figure suddenly appeared out of thin air at the end.
Wu Qi felt strange that he had never been so sentimental before. When he saw the wilderness, he imagined Wang Sheng's shadow.
In fact, it was a real man. The man wore a brown leather jacket, a dark red leather cape around his shoulders, maroon jeans and pointed leather shoes. His unshaven, rough yellow face was shadowed by a cowboy hat with a large brim. The corners of the lips exposed in the shadow curved upward in a strange and cold arc.
The cowboy's right hand holds an exaggerated ancient long bow, and his left hand holds an arrow with a gold and bronze appearance. He put the end of the arrow on the bow string and drew the bow to full length in an instant.
The matte-treated arrows would not reflect the silver moonlight, and were hidden together with their master in the shadow of the backlight, locking onto Wu Qi's chest from a distance of several hundred meters.
