Embers Ad Infinitum

Chapter 149: countermeasures

Views:

The city defense army in the alley asked a few passers-by who went home and the owner of the shop that was still open, and then went to another place, obviously to no avail.

At this time, the movement in the city gate area was still very loud and did not subside.

dong dong dong.

There was a knock on the door of Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao.

"Who?" Jiang Baimian turned around and asked, not panicking at all.

"Me." Long Yuehong's voice came from outside the door.

Shang Jianyao walked over and opened the door.

- Both he and Jiang Baimian could sense that there were two people outside the door, but they could not confirm the identity of the other party, so they could only ask.

This is because they were completely focused on the alley just now, and failed to grasp whether the knocker was coming from the opposite room in time.

After Long Yuehong entered the room, she asked fearfully:

"Will you check it out?"

He was still more cautious. After Bai Chen entered the room and closed the wooden door, he controlled the volume and asked.

"If the people of Weed City can directly target us like this, then it's really a ghost." Jiang Baimian replied with considerable confidence.

This made Long Yuehong's heart instantly stabilize a lot.

Jiang Baimian glanced at Bai Chen, whose eyes were slightly red and swollen but in good overall condition, and added with a smile:

"Even if it is discovered, it's nothing.

"Don't we all have a plan to retreat? It's just that we need to bring more Aunt Nan and the others and let them open the store in another place."

Their plan is:

Get into the yard first and drive straight to the end of East Street.

There is a city gate that is usually closed, and there are relatively few city defense troops stationed there.

At that time, directly use the "Death" individual rocket launcher to forcefully open the city gate, and leave at night.

On the dusty soil, this is not too uncommon. Many relic hunters follow the rule of whoever has the most fists and who is reasonable. They are forced to do everything in a hurry. The big deal is that they will not go to Weed City in the future. Pay attention to whether there are any The task of wanting yourself is that.

Even if his own strength is stronger, he can in turn harvest the relic hunters who have taken the capture mission.

For Jiang Baimian and the others who came from other places with the backing of big forces, and had no relatives or friends in the local team, they could be a little more unscrupulous.

What do the rules of your Weed City have to do with us

Of course, the premise of all this is that you have enough strength, otherwise you will be killed on the spot before making trouble.

Thinking of the retreat, Long Yuehong felt more at ease.

At this time, Jiang Baimian's words changed:

"Well, Xiaobai has some problems here.

"Eugene was attacked less than an hour after he met you again. It is inevitable that some people will suspect you."

The bodyguard who died was the one on the dance floor before, not the two who protected Eugene and entered the underground trading market.

Hearing this, Shang Jianyao clenched his right fist and slapped his left palm with annoyance and regret on his face.

"You're here, what are you thinking?" Jiang Baimian asked.

"After controlling Eugene, I should drive the car back and kill those bodyguards." Shang Jianyao said that I was still not cautious enough.

As long as they are all dead, there will be no witnesses, and no one will think of Bai Chen.

Jiang Baimian was speechless for a while.

After a few seconds, she rubbed her forehead and sighed:

"There will be too many surprises, and the longer it drags on, the harder it will be for us to leave the scene undetected.

"Besides, the strength of those bodyguards is not weak, even if you have the ability of Awakened, you may not be able to kill them all, and even you will be in danger.

"As long as they escape one or two, your appearance may be exposed."

At this time, the movement in the city gate area gradually subsided.

Jiang Baimian turned to ask Bai Chen:

"Does Eugene have many enemies?"

"A lot. There are interests involved with him, and there are many people who have the motivation to kill him." Bai Chen replied calmly, "Even if it is limited to Weed City, there are many such people and forces."

Jiang Baimian nodded lightly:

"That's fine."

She asked another thing:

"How many people are there in Eugene's slave hunting team, and how is the firepower?"

Hearing this question, Shang Jianyao's eyes suddenly lit up.

Bai Chen thought about it and said:

"There are two types of slave-catching teams in the 'First City', one is related to the military and is considered a semi-regular organization, and the other is based on relationships. The latter case.

"But even so, he has fifty or sixty men, many vehicles, machine guns and artillery, capable of destroying an ordinary wilderness wanderer settlement..."

Bai Chen was silent for a while, then added:

"Eugene is a confidant of an elder in the 'First City' senate, and he may have controlled weapons in his ranks."

"No wonder..." Jiang Baimian said with relief, "No wonder Eugene's slave-hunting team dared to attack Weed City."

Of course, this is just her personal guess, and she can't be sure, after all, she didn't see the situation at the city gate with her own eyes.

After slowly exhaling, Jiang Baimian frowned slightly and said:

"What I'm hesitating now is whether to let Xiaobai take to the streets these two days.

"Let's go, someone must be looking for her to assist in the investigation, even if she is less suspicious and has never been on the scene, there will be such a process, and this is not in the company, those investigators will definitely ask everything, what means They will use them, and maybe they will let Xiaobai take them around this building, which will be more troublesome, and they will be exposed if they are not careful.

"Don't let it go. Isn't this disappearance even more suspicious?"

Bai Chen thought for a while and said calmly:

"I don't know which one to choose right now."

"It's okay, let me think about it, I'll give you the answer tomorrow morning." Jiang Baimian first comforted the other party, then looked around, smiled and said, "If I can't figure it out, then let's discuss it collectively."

As soon as she finished speaking, the lights in the room went out.

Several street lamps in the alley were engulfed by darkness.

It's time for the daily blackout again.

Seeing that the noise outside had subsided a lot, Jiang Baimian asked Long Yuehong and Bai Chen to go back to the room to sleep, so don't worry about it anymore.

When only she and Shang Jianyao were left in the room, it was pitch black, and Shang Jianyao suddenly said:

"I have a solution."

"What?" Jiang Baimian raised his vigilance.

Shang Jianyao said calmly:

"Slip out of town at night and take over the camp of Eugene's slave hunters.

"As long as they're gone, things will be resolved."

Without the bitter master, Weed City would probably just investigate it casually.

"Good way." Jiang Baimian applauded, and the businessman Jian Yao had learned a lot.

She went on to say:

"The only question now is, how can the two of us take out armed men from a camp?"

Shang Jianyao seemed to have thought of a plan, so he opened his mouth and said:

"First of all, I pretended to have clues, chatted with the guards at the entrance to the camp, and became friends.

"Then, let him take me to meet the current person in charge of the camp, seize the opportunity, and become friends with the person in charge.

"Then, under the pretext of finding clues and preparing for action, have the person in charge call all the members together where they put their ammunition.

"Finally, we threw a grenade into it to avoid accidents.

"If you think it's not enough to just rely on the two of us, it's too dangerous to have a ratio of 10 to 30, you can call Bai Chen and Long Yuehong as assistants, and a ratio of 15 to 15 is within a reasonable range.

"Reasonable!" Jiang Baimian cursed angrily and hilariously, "Do you think you are a master of purification, reinforced and iron bones, not afraid of bullets?"

After scolding, Jiang Baimian said pertinently:

"Actually, this plan is really feasible, and although it is very crazy, it seems to be able to achieve its purpose.

"The only problem is the timing is not right."

She said sternly:

"If Eugene's slave-hunting team fails to enter the city, the person in charge has some experience. With many enemies and hostile forces, he will definitely let all his subordinates armed for the night, no matter who dares to approach the camp, they will Shoot directly.

"Even if he hadn't given such an order, there must be one post at three steps and one post at five steps in the current camp. When you go to see the person in charge, you will encounter many members of the slave capture team.

"You're sure they won't have a few words with your new friend to invalidate the 'reasoning clown' effect?"

Seeing Shang Jian Yao was vaguely disappointed, Jiang Baimian smiled and said:

"Sleep in peace, I've already figured out a way."

"What is it?" Shang Jianyao asked.

Jiang Baimian laughed:

"I'll tell you tomorrow morning, so that you won't be able to sleep at night."

The next morning, it was early six o'clock, and it was still dark.

Shang Jianyao turned over and sat up, waiting for Jiang Baimian to wake up and tell himself what to do.

After a while, Jiang Baimian climbed down from the upper bunk and said to him excitedly:

"I figured out a way!"

Shang Jianyao looked at her, frowned and asked:

"Didn't you think about it last night?"

Jiang Baimian froze for a moment, then remembered what he said before Shang Jianyao went to bed.

She immediately laughed dryly:

"As the leader of a team, stabilizing the morale of the army is always the first choice.

"Besides, haven't I already thought of this

"There are always more ways than difficulties!"

She made a gesture of asking me exactly what I had come up with.

Shang Jianyao pondered for a few seconds, and then asked:

"Have you not slept all night?"

"...It's not important." Jiang Baimian's expression almost collapsed, barely maintaining his tall and scheming image.

Shang Jianyao then turned back to the topic:

"In what way?"

Jiang Baimian's smile gradually became brighter:

"Let Xiaobai cooperate with the investigation.

"But we can do a little bit of preparation in advance, let the investigation be carried out in the expected scenario, and let the results be under our control."

Seeing businessmen and Yao is still a little puzzled, Jiang Baimian added with a smile:

"Xiao Bai did not attack Eugene, this is something that can be verified.

"As long as you use the 'reasoning clown' in advance to make her no longer think that we are companions, and you have not participated in the subsequent executions, or even think about this aspect, she can pass any investigation, including possible Awakened means. .

"Then, wait until the investigation is over to lift the impact."

Having said that, Jiang Baimian smiled like a fox who only stole a chicken:

"We can also choose the timing where the investigator is someone we know well.

"For example, the Odick who is suspected to be able to affect dreams.

"Don't you have experience in keeping people awake in dreams?"
