Embers Ad Infinitum

Chapter 453: Race against time

Views:

Han Wanghuo, who learned the news from the intelligence dealer, and Zeng Duo avoided most of the pedestrians and returned to the rented room.

"You, did you commit a crime?" Zeng Duo looked at Han Wanghuo suspiciously and broke the silence.

Han Wanghuo frowned slightly, also not understanding why this happened.

"Even if I've done bad things and offended some people, it's somewhere else." After thinking for a long time, he couldn't think of any place where he was worthy of the "Hand of Order".

He felt that even if his second-person identity was exposed, it would be impossible to attract this level of attention.

Could it be that someone I've been in contact with during this time has done something big? Han Wanghuo glanced out the window and said in a deep voice:

"There's no time to think about why, we have to move immediately."

"Yes." Zeng Duo agreed.

The transfer must not be carried out blindly. The two quickly used the materials around them to make a disguise, so as not to be recognized or remembered on the way, and the success would fall short.

Then, they went downstairs separately and moved the materials prepared during this period to the car in turn.

After doing this, Han Wanghuo closed the door and drove his tattered black off-road vehicle to the other side of Antana Street.

Bypassing a bathroom with good business, the vehicle pulled into a relatively secluded alley and stopped in front of an old apartment.

"Second floor." Han Wanghuo said simply.

Zeng Duo didn't ask more, followed him up to the second floor, watched him take out the key, and opened the brown-red wooden door of a certain room.

In her slightly puzzled eyes, Han Wanghuo said casually:

"It was prepared in advance.

"On ash, you can never go wrong with being careful."

"I understand, the three caves of the cunning rabbit." Zeng Duo nodded lightly.

Seeing that Han Wanghuo looked over with a little surprise, she explained with a smile:

"Although there are many infected and deformed people in our town, the food has always been sufficient, the environment is relatively stable, and a lot of old world knowledge has been preserved."

Han Wang nodded invisibly:

"You stay here to rest, I'll go to Antana Street once to get those weapons back before those arms dealers know about it.

"Well, I will go back to the place before and drive your car. Now the supplies on this car will not be unloaded, and we don't know when it will be transferred again."

"I'm with you." Zeng Duo said very calmly.

"You don't need to take this risk." Han Wang was habitually advised.

Zeng Duo smiled:

"For someone like me who doesn't live long, achieving purpose is more important than life.

"I don't want the helper I finally found to disappear like this. I don't have enough time to find the next batch of helpers."

Han Wanghuo was silent for a few seconds, and then responded succinctly:

"it is good."

The two who maintained their disguise went downstairs again.

Zeng Duo looked at the stairs in front and suddenly said:

"I thought you would let me go by myself, because the 'Hand of Order' is looking for you, not me.

"That's how you usually behave, always putting other people first."

Han Wanghuo glanced at her, his eyes turned cold, and said:

"That's because it hasn't endangered my core interests, and this time, your heart is related to my life, just like those weapons are related to whether the mission can be completed, so I will not give up, even if I take a little risk , also to get it back.

"Don't think I'm a good person, that's just what I pretended to be."

Zeng Duo didn't turn her head, she glanced at the slightly vicious man from the corner of her eye:

"If you're not a good person, I'm dead now, and it's easier to deal with me alone than to face the regular army of the 'First City'."

"If you have a choice, keeping your promise will give you more in the future." Han Wang got out of the apartment and walked to his tattered jeep, "You saw it just now, the good deeds I have done have been rewarded. Good return."

Zeng Duo didn't speak any more, until he got into the car and sat in the passenger seat, and then whispered:

"But looking at you, I don't seem to believe that you will get good rewards. I just think it was an accident."

Han Wanghuo started the car and didn't seem to hear the words.

Near Antana Street, two cars rented by the "Old Tunes Group" were driving on different roads.

—In order to deal with the "Hand of Order", they didn't even come forward to rent a car this time, but used Shang Jianyao's "reasoning clown" to "please" two relic hunters for help.

As for the problem that the effect of the "reasoning clown" will disappear over time, they don't think about it at all, because it will be a few days later, and the "old tune group" has already abandoned the two rented cars .

Jiang Baimian, who was sitting in one of the cars, picked up the walkie-talkie and instructed Long Yuehong, Bai Chen, and Genawa in the other car:

"If nothing else, the 'Hand of Order' and some relic hunters will definitely know that Lao Han lives nearby through the quest files kept by the Hunter Guild, so they can start an investigation.

"Our method is to drive the car, disguise as a relic hunter who wants to find clues, and observe whether there is any movement.

"Once you find a commotion somewhere, rush over there and try to save Lao Han before he gets caught.

"Uh... During this process, we can't give up the observation of pedestrians on the road. Maybe we are lucky enough to meet the old Han who has not been discovered after disguise?"

After Long Yuehong conveyed the team leader's meaning to Bai Chen who was driving, he asked:

"If Lao Han no longer lives nearby, wouldn't we have nothing to gain?"

"It's really like this, we have to thank God!" Jiang Baimian replied amusingly, "That means that Lao Han will be in danger for a while, well, according to the arrangement just now, each is responsible for an area.

"By the way, when observing passers-by, the focus is on short, thin women. If Lao Han did a disguise, his features would not be too obvious, but his companion is not like this, and this is something the Hunter Guild doesn't know. Happening."

After explaining these things, Jiang Baimian turned his head to the driver and said:

"Let's go to Antana Street to squat, and the probability of Lao Han appearing there is very high."

Having said this, Jiang Baimian laughed:

"Do you want to ask why

"It's very simple, we have already deduced that Lao Han has taken on a very difficult task in order to replace his heart and is looking for collaborators everywhere.

"According to common sense, it is not difficult for us to determine that Lao Han is raising weapons, ammunition, canned food and other materials at the same time, which is a necessary condition for completing complex tasks.

"And if Lao Han had prepared these things, then he must have set off long ago, and his illness can't wait.

"If it's not ready, one may be that the manpower is not enough, and the other may be that the materials are not available. For the latter, where else is more suitable than Antana Street?"

Jiang Baimian couldn't be sure whether Han Wanghuo was trapped in supplies or helpers, so he could only say that there was a certain probability.

Make bold assumptions, be careful to verify.

Shang Jianyao, the driver of the car, heard it and said "um":

"I'm not Xiaohong."

This time, Jiang Baimian directly understood what he meant:

He is not Long Yuehong, and he won't need someone else's inspiration or spend more time to figure it out.

While talking, Shang Jianyao picked up a baseball cap and put it on his head, keeping the brim very low.

"You are..." Jiang Baimian asked hesitantly.

Shang Jianyao answered seriously:

"A camouflage learned from a few fake 'priests'."

"You make us look like villains." Jiang Baimian let out a "tsk" and set his eyes on Antan Street, which was getting closer.

This is the largest, most famous and most chaotic black market in the "First City".

On Antana Street, the houses are messy, the environment is dark, and everyone who comes and goes has a certain degree of vigilance.

Wearing a hat and glasses, Han Wanghuo walked into Old Reggie's gun shop without a sign.

Zeng Duo, who was also disguised, followed closely behind him, observing the surrounding situation with experience.

"Have my arms arrived?" Han Wanghuo knocked on the counter in front of Old Reggie.

The gray-bearded old Reggie looked up at him, observed it carefully for a while, and suddenly smiled:

"It's you, you did a good job in disguise.

"You don't seem to be simple. I remember someone was looking for you before, and it was someone I knew."

"I remember that people in the arms business wouldn't ask the other party why they bought the goods." Han Wanghuo replied in a deep voice.

Old Reggie laughed:

"No, I'll still ask, if they took the arms and robbed me on the spot, that would be bad.

"Haha, the goods you want are ready, I hope you have brought enough money as well."

Han Wangshou took a photo of the small bag on his shoulders:

"It's all here."

As soon as he finished speaking, several people came in outside the gun shop.

The leader was wearing a shirt and vest, with a medium build, black hair and brown eyes, ordinary appearance, and a pair of eyes that were hard to move like a wooden sculpture.

This is the "Hand of Order" capable officer, the assistant of the Order Officer in the Golden Apple District, Theodore.

A man beside him took out the restored photo, took a few steps forward, and handed it to Old Reggie:

"Have you seen this man?"

In the photo, the man's eyebrows were messy and he looked fierce. There were two horizontal and one vertical scars on his face, just like Han Wanghuo.
