Duke and others covered their noses and backed away a little.
What he threw in was tear gas, a weapon he got in Vault 39.
When you don't know what dangers there are, letting the other party come out on their own is the best choice.
Although he has the top combat power of Karl, Duke does not want to capsize in the gutter. After all, Karl now does not have the "protective cover" of black mist, and his defense power is greatly reduced.
Seeing traces of white smoke coming from the half-open door, Duke waited for a while, but there was no movement inside.
"Has he already left?"
Duke frowned a little, thought for a moment, and threw three more tear gas canisters in.
呲——
After waiting for a while, I suddenly heard a movement inside.
At the same time, Qin and Carl also heard it.
"It's coming out!"
Qin took out the blue dagger, but she still didn't take her iconic sword this time, after all, it was too conspicuous.
Carl was using his bare hands, and his fists were his weapons, comparable to steel.
As for Duke, he took out a silver revolver.
The 12.7mm caliber revolver that Alger gave him was extremely powerful at close range.
Unless they are awakened beings with extremely strong defense, such as Alger or Sentinel, it is impossible for other awakened beings to resist with their physical body.
As long as Duke's shot is accurate, it will be a great threat to the awakened ones.
And Duke has the ability to stop time. In a short period of time, he is not worried that he will miss the shot...
The three of them were cautious but not nervous.
"Ahem——"
A coughing sound came from the door, and soon, a hand stretched out.
No one said anything, and after a few seconds, a thin man crawled out of the secret passage.
brush!
Karl's figure disappeared instantly, and when he reappeared, he had already pinched the opponent's neck.
"Cough cough cough——"
The other party's coughing became more violent.
Duke stepped forward.
This is a middle-aged man with an ordinary appearance, estimated to be in his thirties, about 1.7 meters tall, with a thin build and some metal marks on his legs. He is obviously an awakened person of the mechanical sequence.
There are many differences between this person and the leader of the Hyena Gang in Duke's mind, but Duke also knows not to judge people by their appearance.
"Ahem, please let me go, I'm just an ordinary supervisor, ahem..."
The middle-aged man's eyes were crying, and he couldn't see who caught him for the time being.
Duke looked at Carl.
"Is it him?"
Karl snorted coldly and said:
"Hehe, he pretends to be quite similar."
Hearing Karl's voice, the other party's body froze, and the look of begging for mercy on his face slowly disappeared, turning into disbelief.
"How, how is it possible! You, you -"
Karl could understand the other party's surprise, after all, he himself lost control in front of the other party!
"I'm not dead, I'm not even out of control, are you disappointed? My friend!"
Karl spoke sarcastically.
The other party endured the pain in his eyes and opened his eyes. After seeing that the person holding his neck was indeed Karl, the other party murmured to himself:
"incredible……"
Regardless of how surprised the other party was, Duke said:
"Hyena Gang Leader, maybe we can talk."
Duke naturally wouldn't negotiate terms with him, he just wanted to talk.
But the leader of the Hyena Gang smiled sarcastically:
"I'm in your hands, I accept it, let's do it."
He is not stupid. If Karl is not here, it may be possible to negotiate, but since Karl is here, he must not survive, so there is no point in negotiating or not.
After all, he knew how strong Karl was. As long as Karl wanted to kill him, no one on the scene could stop him.
Duke glanced at Karl and instantly understood what the leader of the Hyena Gang was thinking. He smiled slightly and said:
"Mr. Karl, let him go first. There is no need to fight or kill him. I think we can have a good talk. There are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests, right?"
After Duke said these words, the leader of the Hyena Gang looked at him in surprise, as if he had met someone of the same kind?
But what surprised the leader of the Hyena Gang even more was that Carl actually let go of him!
How could an awakened person with top-level combat power listen to the words of a young man? Who is this person? Is he a direct descendant of that powerful family?
Duke didn't like to wear the clothes of the Elvis family, and he was disguised today, so in front of the leader of the Hyena Gang, he was an ordinary young man.
While he was surprised, some thoughts slowly came into his mind.
If these people are mainly Karl, he really has no chance of survival, but if they are mainly a young man, this may not be possible...
"This gentleman has a point..."
The leader of the Hyena Gang decisively agreed.
Seeing that Duke had no intention of introducing himself, the leader of the Hyena Gang was not surprised. He continued:
"Whatever you want to know, sir, as long as it is mine, I will tell you the truth. I just ask you to spare my life..."
The leader of the Hyena Gang places his position very low and looks very humble.
But Duke knew that this was just a disguise. He had already known Blanche's true character from Blanche's mouth.
Of course, Duke remained calm on the surface. He asked curiously:
"What do you think I can do in exchange for your life? After all, you know that Mr. Carl is very hostile to you."
"I have money! This is my account!"
The leader of the Hyena Gang didn't know what Duke wanted, but it was always right to give him money.
He quickly took out a golden card and handed it to Duke respectfully.
"There is one million Dawn coins on it. This is all my funds! The password is *****"
The other party reported a very long password.
Duke took it unceremoniously.
Although one million Dawn Coins is not too much, it is still quite a lot. With those relic items not yet sold, Duke is still somewhat short of money.
Seeing Duke's men handing over the bank cards, the leader of the Hyena Gang suddenly beamed with joy.
He is not afraid of you being a lion and opening your mouth, but he is afraid that you won’t want anything.
As long as there is something requested, there is an opportunity for negotiation.
"But, this is not enough..."
Duke said with some shame.
The leader of the Hyena Gang didn't think that he could spend just one million, so he quickly continued.
"I still have some private properties, and the valuation is about one million Dawn coins. If you don't mind, sir, I will transfer them all to your name!"
"Well, it's easy to say, but what I'm more curious about is, why did you destroy the Hyena Gang yourself?"
Duke looked curious.
The leader of the Hyena Gang's eyes narrowed, he paused for a moment, and then he said respectfully:
"Actually, I...I made a mistake."
"Oh? What if I don't make a mistake?"
Duke said with a smile.
He didn't believe what the other party said, because Number 2 had just told Duke. Judging from the subtle expressions on the other party's face just now, the probability of him lying next was over 95%.
But Duke didn't expose it, he wanted to see what the other party would say.
"I dare not say, I..."
The leader of the Hyena Gang looked at Karl.
Duke immediately took a step forward and stood between Karl and him.
"You actually said, I promise Karl won't kill you."
After receiving Duke's assurance, the leader of the Hyena Gang spoke:
"I actually wanted to deal with Karl, but I didn't expect..."
After listening to his words, Karl looked at him intently. If Duke hadn't been here, he would have been torn into pieces.
Duke had a playful expression.
What the leader of the Hyena Gang said was that he had been unhappy with Karl because of some things before, and wanted to take this opportunity to make Karl lose control.
But I didn't expect that Carl lost control so quickly. He caused the black mist, which was a process that could take several days or more than ten hours.
But unexpectedly, Carl instantly attracted the black mist, which also led to the entire hyena gang being slaughtered.
When the leader of the Hyena Gang saw that things had developed to this extent, he had no choice but to hide alone...
It sounded decent, but Duke knew he was lying.
And the more this happened, Duke felt that his previous speculation was accurate.
There was some chatting with the other party again, and the other party complimented him from time to time, and Duke also showed that he was very helpful.
This made the leader of the Hyena Gang feel like Duke was about to be fooled by him.
At this moment, Duke suddenly asked:
"What is the red liquid in the underground warehouse for?"
"Then naturally drink-"
Halfway through his words, the leader of the Hyena Gang quickly shut up. His eyes suddenly widened and he stared at Duke, as if he and Duke had a grudge for killing their father.
"It's you!"
Duke ignored his cannibalistic look and was about to say something when he saw the other party suddenly smiled miserably:
"It's over, it's all over."
"After you finish speaking, I promise not to kill you."
Duke spoke.
At the same time, he also said in his heart: But I can't guarantee that Karl won't kill you.
However, this time the leader of the Hyena Gang did not believe in Duke, or in other words, he looked desperate, as if he did not believe that Duke could allow him to survive.
"It's over, it's all over..."
The hyena gang murmured in a low voice, their eyes a little distracted.
Duke felt something was wrong.
"Hey, you-"
Before he finished speaking, he saw several electric sparks suddenly appear in the other party's body, and then bright red blood flowed from his eyes, nose, mouth and ears.
"He's going to die!"
Qin next to her looked solemn.
At the same time, Number Two's words also rang in Duke's mind.
"There is something wrong with the mechanical transformation on his body. Please touch his body quickly. Maybe I can find something before he is dead."
Duke didn't hesitate and put his hand directly on the opponent's arm.
Karl also came over at this time, the anger on his face had long disappeared, it was just him and Duke acting together.
"He is - he has been implanted with an 'obedient chip'!"
As a well-informed veteran awakener, Karl saw the problem at a glance.
"This is a special virus that is implanted into the brain. As long as certain triggering conditions are met, it can kill people!"
Karl explained quickly.
After this virus is implanted, the mortality rate of the implanted person is extremely high, unless the other person is an awakened person of the mechanical sequence.
Moreover, the price of the "obedient chip" is so high that ordinary forces cannot afford it.
Duke listened to Karl's explanation, recalled the situation just now, and his eyes suddenly froze.
When the Hyena Gang leader's expression changed drastically, it was when he asked him the use of the red liquid and he said it!
Duke originally thought that the other party was shocked when he guessed the culprit, but now it seems that it may be more than that——
The trigger condition of this chip is probably that it cannot tell anything about red liquid!
This makes sense, because after the leader of the Hyena Gang realized his mistake, he instantly gave up negotiating with Duke, as if he knew he would die.
After thinking about this, Duke frowned.
"Can it be saved?"
"There's no way he can be saved, his brain is already damaged."
Carl shook his head.
Duke took a closer look.
At this time, although the leader of the Hyena Gang still had breath in his nose, his eyes had become dull, and blood and saliva flowed out of his mouth, as if he had become a fool, a fool who would die soon.
At this time, the voice of No. 2 also sounded:
"He can't be saved unless the medical cabin is used immediately when the virus attacks. But now the medical cabin is too far away, or I invaded his mind in advance. It was my mistake..."
This can be regarded as a complete pronouncement of the other party's death sentence.
Duke was a little helpless. He thought he would solve the mystery, but he didn't expect this result.
Although the leader of the Hyena Gang is an awakened person of the mechanical sequence, he is a "semi-reformed person".
[Semi-modified person: Main bloodline, secondary machine. The degree of mechanical transformation is low and the strength is weak, but it is not easy to lose control. 】
Semi-cyborgs are different from cyborgs.
Mechanically modified people are those who are awakened the day after tomorrow. There is only one sequence of machines, and there is no upper limit to the degree of transformation. In theory, they can reach the level of sentinels. Of course, this is a theory. In fact, based on past experience, if you can transform 50%, you can
If you reach the limit, if you go any higher, you will most likely die!
Semi-transformed people are innately awakened people, with bloodline and mechanical sequences. If we look at the percentages, the main sequence of the innately awakened person accounts for 70%, and the secondary sequence accounts for 30%.
In other words, a semi-modified person can only modify up to 30% of the body area.
But if you want to transform your brain, 30% is totally not enough.
Therefore, you can roughly distinguish the awakened ones in the mechanical sequence by their appearance - those whose heads have not been changed are secondary machines; those whose heads have been changed are main machines.
The reason why Duke didn't let No. 2 invade the opponent's head right away was because Duke learned about the opponent's occupation from Carl's mouth, which was a semi-modified person with a secondary department of machinery.
The brain of a semi-cyborg cannot be changed, which means that No. 2 cannot invade the opponent's consciousness.
But who would have thought that although the other party's head had not been modified mechanically, a virus chip was implanted in his head!
If No. 2 invades in advance, it can turn off the virus chip, but unfortunately, there is no if.
Duke also made an empiricist error.
"No. 2, it's not your fault, I was careless..."
Duke comforted Number Two in his mind, and then asked again.
"By the way, did you notice just now?"
"There are some discoveries. Although this virus chip works very quickly, I still found something..."
While Number Two was speaking, some information reached Duke's mind.
"So that's it..."
The information No. 2 gave Duke was the forbidden words set in the virus chip.
By piecing these forbidden words together, Duke gradually understood the function of the red liquid.
Simply put, drinking this red liquid will make your body super strong!
It's a bit like a super powerful version of genetic medicine. But it has serious side effects.
There is a 50% chance of losing self-awareness and becoming a walking zombie that only knows how to kill!
And the remaining 50% probability is - death!
What a scary thing!
Duke's face looked a little ugly. This thing is totally useless!
"What do we do?"
Seeing that Duke hadn't spoken a word and didn't look very good, Qin immediately reminded him in a low voice.
Duke came back to his senses, looked at the completely dead Hyena Gang leader, shook his head and said:
"There's nothing we can do. We're all dead, so let's go back first - that's right!"
Duke almost forgot that besides the leader of the Hyena Gang himself, there was another important thing.
That is to find the safe that Blanche mentioned.
And when he mentioned the safe, Duke thought that this secret passage had not been checked yet, and maybe the leader of the Hyena Gang had put some good things in it.
At this time, the door of the secret passage opened, and the tear gas inside had almost dissipated. Karl went inside alone to look for anything good.
Duke was outside looking for the safe with Jean.
With Blanche's tip, Duke easily found the safe. It seemed that Blanche didn't lie to him, but the safe was a mechanical device, which was a bit troublesome.
Neither Duke nor Jean are very good at this.
They waited outside for a while, and Karl came out soon, holding a small box in his hands.
“There’s something good!”
Carl opened the box and took a look.
"Ouch!"
Duke and Qin were both a little surprised, because there were actually gold bars in this small box!
This is an unexpected surprise. At a glance, I don't know if it is worth one million Dawn coins, but it should be at least three to five million.
Duke asked Jean to put away the gold bars, and then asked Carl if he knew how to open such a lock.
Karl took a look and immediately confidently expressed that it was on him.
Duke thought that he, like Matthew, was good at this craft, but he didn't expect that Karl used his strong strength to pry open the safe!
Duke had witnessed once with his own eyes what it means to work miracles with great force.
At this time, there was only something that looked like a big brother in the safe, and nothing else.
This thing should be the communication device Blanche mentioned.
Duke took it out. There were many buttons and a small screen on it. Before Duke could touch it, the screen suddenly glowed green.
Then, an indistinguishable voice from male, female, old or young came from the communicator:
"I'm a little surprised that you're not dead. I need an explanation."
It's the person behind the leader of the Hyena Gang!
The other party's voice was obviously disguised. A second after the other party finished speaking, the voice of No. 2 came:
"The voice has been analyzed. Female, about thirty years old."
At the same time, a restored voice sounded in Duke's mind.
Duke kept this voice firmly in his mind. He was very lucky to have No. 2. This little trick had no way of hiding in front of No. 2.
Holding the communicator, before Duke could speak, the other party's voice remembered again:
"Who are you?"
Duke raised his eyebrows. It was obvious that the few seconds of pause had let the other party know that he was not the leader of the Hyena Gang.
It's probably because they have some calling habits or secret codes or something like that.
Although he was discovered, Duke still said nothing. Caution has always been his motto.
"No matter who you are, you have offended someone you can't afford to offend. We will meet soon. I hope you can survive until then."
After the other party finished speaking, the communication did not hang up, as if waiting for Duke to speak, but Duke pressed the hang-up button unceremoniously.
beep--
"What are you pretending to be?"
Duke was a little despised. The other party didn't know who he was at all, but just wanted Duke to speak out so that he could get some information from him.
Of course, Duke didn't know who the opponent was, but from the fact that the opponent instantly discovered that he was not the leader of the Hyena Gang, he knew that the opponent was not someone to be trifled with, at least he was an old fox.
When dealing with this kind of person, your words or words may reveal a lot of information, and then the other party will find out.
Although Duke is confident in himself, he is not blindly confident. He is still very cautious about such an old fox.
Besides, if Duke wants to know who the other party is, he doesn’t have to guess from the conversation, he also has number two!
"No. 2, how's it going?"
"The other party cut off all signals, but before cutting off, I still found his location."
While Number Two was talking, a map appeared in Duke's mind.
Looking at the location marked above, Duke frowned deeply.
"City Hall... is indeed a big fish!"
But he wasn't too worried. Anyway, the other party didn't know his identity. With the help of No. 2, Duke's finishing work every time would not be said to be flawless, but at least it wasn't that easy to find.
The body of the Hyena Gang leader was thrown directly into the secret passage by Duke, and the door was closed again.
Everyone left.
It didn't take long to successfully break out of the Hyena Gang.
By the time we returned to Ping An Street, it was already late at night.
Duke carefully calculated the gold bars, and the result was somewhat beyond Duke's expectation. It was actually worth one million!
"Plus the 1 million bank card from the leader of the Hyena Gang - wait, that's not right!"
Duke suddenly thought that if the protective umbrella behind the Hyena Gang was a high-level person in the city hall, then she would definitely have the authority to monitor a certain bank account!
If you transfer this money yourself, wouldn’t you be falling into a trap?
"The boat almost capsized!"
Duke was a little lucky. Fortunately, he had thought a little more, otherwise it might have been dangerous. Although the other party might not know the account of the Hyena Gang leader, Duke didn't need to gamble.
Looking at the golden card, Duke wanted to destroy it directly, but he thought, after all, it was one million, so it would be a pity to destroy it like this. He would just keep it in case it could be used in the future...
…
town Hall.
In a luxurious room.
A figure was sitting on a luxurious chair, tapping the chair rhythmically with his left index finger.
"Oh, you really thought I couldn't find you? Someone come."
Soon, several people came in.
"Go and monitor that bank account. As soon as someone transfers money, track it down immediately and catch the person!"
Chapter completed!
