Gunfire, Punk and Necromancer

"The wound has been inspected and needs to be cleaned, disinfected and sutured, and then I will give you a few injections. There will definitely be scars, unless you have skin implants. Now there is a subsidy, and the cost is more suitable." A mask and reflective glasses were used to cover the wound. The doctor with almost all faces said to Zhuang Xuteng: "The location of the wound is very suitable. Do you want to cut the appendix by the way? It will only take ten more minutes, and then you no longer have to worry about it going wrong."

"I don't need to cut the appendix, thank you. I just need to treat the wound. Just give me local anesthesia. I also need to keep my mind clear and my limbs flexible."

"Okay, as you wish." The doctor was covered so tightly that he couldn't show any expression at all, and his voice was very steady. He took out the treatment sheet and asked Zhuang Xuteng to sign for confirmation, and then found a surgeon to quickly treat Zhuang Xuteng's wound.

Meteor was sitting on the empty hospital bed nearby, holding a pillow in his arms and burying half of his head in it, hiding his expression as well. The girl's eyes stayed on Zhuang Xuteng, watching him being "besieged" by a doctor and a nurse. About twenty minutes later, the operation was completed and they were the only two left in the ward. Meteor asked: "Does it hurt?"

"It hurt before, but now I just feel a little stiff and it doesn't hurt anymore." Zhuang Xuteng smiled at Meteor to reassure her. "How do you feel now?"

"My body feels fine, but my head is a little confused; the glucose water tastes really bad, far worse than the juice in your car; their chocolates are all filled with synthetic fats and saccharin, which makes my stomach feel greasy; I want to go to the toilet. But I don’t dare to go out by myself.”

"Why do you say the most important thing last?" Zhuang Xuteng stood up, bent over and twisted slightly to observe the range of movement that the wound could support. After he knew it in his mind, he stretched out his hand towards Meteor: "I'll take you there."

"Uh... can you wait for me outside the cubicle? I'm still scared when I go into the toilet alone."

"The toilet is a room, not open-air, and it's a women's toilet!" Zhuang Xuteng was about to agree reluctantly when Lucy opened the door and came in. She used a wide-brimmed hat to cover the mask that was constantly changing colors, and used a slightly hoarse voice to resolve Zhuang Xuteng's embarrassment: "I'll send her there, it's convenient for me."

"Thank God, you are the savior." Zhuang Xuteng touched his head and let out a long sigh of relief.

"You are the savior." Lucy waved, urging the reluctant Meteor to stand up quickly. "I just went to the coroner's office to take a look. This meaningless middleman war is finally over."

"How is Viper?" Zhuang Xuteng did not forget the most critical question.

"I'm hiding in the Blood Bat Gang. I don't have the energy to catch him at the moment." Lucy grabbed Meteor's arm and said to Zhuang Xuteng: "I'll send her to the emergency first, and I'll talk to you in detail when I get back. You find something to do Put your uniform on, don’t go bare-chested, do you think it looks good?”

"Hehe." Zhuang Xuteng laughed awkwardly. He found some clothes from the cabinet and put them on. After waiting for a while, Lucy and Meteor came back.

"You gave Fat D the fatal shot, and I have to thank you very much." Lucy got straight to the point and said, "In addition, you also protected my intelligence officer and completed the emergency commission. I will do both of these things." I won’t treat you badly, don’t worry.”

Zhuang Xuteng nodded. He didn't know the market price of these two kinds of commissions. It was obviously unwise to ask directly. Therefore, he only expressed his agreement. If he fully trusts Lucy, he may get greater benefits.

"Sister Lucy, how will this matter develop and how will it end?"

Quickly making correct judgments, always keeping the next step in mind, and accurately grasping key issues are the three things Lucy admires most about Zhuang Xuteng.

"The confirmation of D Fat's death is being conveyed to their mercenaries through various intermediaries, and will be publicly disseminated through newspapers, radio stations and other channels to ensure that D Fat's mercenaries and relevant stakeholders can know the news. All intermediaries and The mercenaries will respect the outcome of the victory and defeat and calm the situation. The middleman war will delay many people from making money, and when it is over, it will be enough."

Lucy took out a cigarette, thinking that this was a hospital, and finally just sniffed it and put it back. She continued: "Calming down the situation means that everyone will not be able to work for a period of time. This process will take about three to five months."

"Don't take any work during this period. I have something to arrange for you. Well, at least in a week, so you can have a little rest." Lucy said: "Today you will stay in the hospital for a comprehensive physical examination. D Fatty The riot caused outside has not subsided yet. Don't go out on the street and be arrested by the PCPD. I will give you a temporary false identity tomorrow morning. You can use it to keep a low profile for a while. When the storm calms down, you will still be a nike. Understand. ?"

Meteor clapped his hands and said: "The name Nike has already gained status in the mercenary world, and I might even give you a nickname, such as middleman killer. In other words, if I ask you to do the same job in the future, you will have to Pay more."

Zhuang Xuteng understood, smiled and nodded: "Okay, I can't get along with money. Brother Dao said that if mercenaries want to make money, they follow the same path as celebrities - reputation is guarantee, reputation is capital, and technology is A way to monetize fame. Sister Lucy, can I make a phone call from the hospital? I want to say hello to Brother Dao."

"You mentioned him, not just for the purpose of calling and greetings. Well... don't worry, there is no middleman in Gonggong Road. I dare not say that I am his middleman, but it is 80% indispensable. The matter of him in the detention center is taken care of by me. As long as he is active and bullying others, there will be nothing else." Lucy said very firmly: "In this intermediary war, Gogongdao clearly sided with me, even if it is not for your sake, I will definitely side with him. "

"That's good." Zhuang Xuteng nodded and said, "I'll give you something here: Fat D's wallet and notebook. Meteor, they are in my jacket pocket. You were holding them before. Please help me give them to Lucy." .”

"Oh, okay." Meteor nodded and did as he was told.

"In addition, Fatty D also used a strange weapon. It was not a shadow gun, but a weapon with some chemical effect. It was quite powerful. I checked the components inside and saw Dingxin Magic and some serial numbers. I guessed It may be related to the company. Brother Dao said that it is best to leave the unknown items encountered in the commission to you to deal with, and if it involves the company's property, I think it meets this condition. "

"You're doing the right thing. The company's water is deep and will always be murky - no matter how clear it looks on the surface. Leave it to me and I will fight for the benefits while resolving possible troubles."

"The weapon is in my car. Open the back seat and it's in the empty box under the seat. Oh, there are other trophies inside, such as shadow guns and the like. Please estimate them. Here are the car keys. - You take your stuff, leave the keys in the car, hold the lock and close the door, just lock it - I have other ways to get in. You said I couldn't leave the hospital tonight and the parking lot is across the street. I won’t accompany you anymore.”

"Well, it's good to be so good. The last thing we need now is an accident." Lucy said: "It's five o'clock in the afternoon. From now until dawn tomorrow, the situation outside will be very chaotic. Do you know why? "

Zhuang Xuteng knew that Lucy was testing him, so he thought about it carefully, and then said: "Fat D's wealth is very touching. After he died, everyone wanted to get a piece of it, especially the mercenaries closest to him. I He was the last person to see Fat D.”

"That's right. Since their identities are going to be disclosed, their reputations will inevitably depreciate, so they all want to ask Fatty D for compensation." Lucy patted Zhuang Xuteng on the shoulder and said, "This hospital is safe. I will arrange a hospital for you." Private room. I will start to receive Fatty D’s things, so that their targets will not be pointed at you, let alone touch you. Tomorrow morning, when the dust has settled, you can use the false identity I gave you to deal with the PCPD on the street."

"I hope it won't be that troublesome." Zhuang Xuteng said with a smile.

"I hope so too." Lucy nodded, put her right hand on her hip, spread her left hand forward, and said, "I'm ready to take action. Do you have any other requests?"

"I...I want to know how the middleman war works. A brief version will do."

If it had been anyone else, Lucy would never have revealed a single word. But Zhuang Xuteng is different, not because he is "loyal" or "combatant", but because he can make plans and has the potential to command actions.

"I was caught off guard at the beginning. I first analyzed whether this was a general assassination, a rebellion by my subordinates, or a middleman war. I chose the third worst possibility, and then sent you urgently to protect Meteor. But doing so was also considered by the opponent. During the process, they eavesdropped on my communications and followed you to find the meteor - this was my mistake."

Zhuang Xuteng did not express his position. After all, this matter involved Lucy and Meteor. They were right in front of him. It didn't matter whether he said it was a mistake or not. And he had an idea: Lucy may have known that doing so would expose Meteor, and she deliberately chose this risky approach: If those people were chasing Meteor, it meant that this matter must be a middle-man war.

Only middlemen wars require cutting off their intelligence officers, not ordinary vendettas or rebellions.

"When it happened, I had a lot of mercenaries who were completing the commission outside - now thinking about it, this may also be one of the other party's plans." Lucy continued: "I first escaped from the roundup, and then asked every middleman - Fatty D even sent a commission asking them to investigate two to three other middlemen to find out whether they had launched a war against me."

"Wonderful! Although you don't have an intelligence officer, if you let them check each other, you can catch the target in a short time." Zhuang Xuteng clapped his hands twice and said, "You spend money to buy time and intelligence. No wonder your counterattack can So ferocious.”

Lucy nodded: "They all know that this is a cross-examination and no one can escape, so they all express their opinions that they are not themselves. Many centrists are afraid of being taken advantage of by others to retaliate, but they are also willing to help. In the middleman war, the initiator delays everyone's earning money, and always They won't be more popular than me. So I was able to arrange an attack and kill Fatty D directly. In fact, I was still a little bit behind, and Fatty D ran away. And you made up for this last bit, which was really an unexpected surprise to me. "

"The straw that broke the camel's back."

"Even if it's straw, you are my life-saving straw." Lucy said.
