Chapter 546: Lone Building (please vote for the super large chapter)(1/2)
Under the pitch-black night, a black off-road vehicle, riddled with bullet holes and with almost all windows broken except the front windshield, was driving slowly on the road.
He Ao was holding a cigarette in his mouth, holding the steering wheel with one hand, and turning the rearview mirror toward himself with the other hand.
He glanced at his own condition in the rearview mirror. He had some messy and hanging hair, a slightly haggard and crazy face, his exquisite evening dress was full of rips, and his light-colored bow tie was stained with bright red blood.
.
The rising smoke blurred the mirror. He Ao took his eyes back from the rearview mirror, tilted the rearview mirror upward again, and then raised his head to look ahead.
The roads in the Western District are not smooth. There are cement blocks everywhere that have been crushed into pieces by heavy engineering vehicles. Off-road vehicles will be slightly bumpy when driving on such roads.
On both sides of the road are shops that are open normally, and some homeless people in ragged clothes and covered with mud are huddled in the corners of the lights in front of the shops.
They looked at He Ao's vehicle with some curiosity.
Even in the West District, it is not a common thing to drive out in such a damaged vehicle. He Ao has seen many such curious looks along the way.
But everyone was just out of curiosity. Since entering the West District, basically no one dared to stop in front of He Ao's car.
He Ao did not encounter any domineering gangs or robbers.
After all, although the gangs in the West District are crazy, they still have eyes. If you drive a car like this, you may not necessarily have money, but it is definitely not easy to mess with.
He Ao looked back and saw that there were no pursuers on the streets behind him, as if he had really gotten rid of the enemies behind him.
The dilapidated off-road vehicle drove deep into the dilapidated streets at a steady speed.
He Ao glanced at the screen displayed on Eve's navigation on his bracelet, then lightly stepped on the accelerator. The off-road vehicle suddenly accelerated and turned into the deepest part of the night.
A somewhat damaged independent building gradually appeared in He Ao's field of vision.
This building is not high, only about four or five floors. It seems that it was once an abandoned building, and then someone reluctantly repaired it to maintain the original appearance of the building.
This kind of building has a special name in the West District, called "Ansleep Building".
There are many such "sleeping buildings" in the Western District. Most of these buildings have exceeded their service life and are at risk of collapse at any time. However, because the people living in the buildings cannot provide enough money to rebuild the buildings, they can only
Simply repair the building and continue to use it pretending it is a normal building.
The cheapest rental houses in the West End are often found in buildings like this.
The reason why it is called the "Sleeping Building" is because it can provide the poorest people at the bottom of the city with a place to sleep peacefully, sheltered from the wind and rain, although a night's sleep often turns into an eternal sleep.
Of course, not all 'Ansleeping Buildings' will be used for rent. Some buildings in better condition may also be transformed into commercial places by gangs.
For example, the four- to five-story ‘Ansleeping Building’ in front of He Ao at the moment has many business signs posted on it, and it has obviously been transformed into a bustling shopping mall.
However, although the lights in this shopping mall are on at the moment, the entrance is unusually quiet, like a vigilant sentinel standing under the night, waiting for something to arrive.
He Ao slowly turned the steering wheel and parked the off-road vehicle towards the entrance of the shopping mall.
At the same time, he picked up another bracelet placed on the damaged center console of the off-road vehicle and sent a message to the person displayed on the bracelet.
This bracelet is Hei Xi’s bracelet.
The shopping mall in front of her was one of Haixi's properties. She deployed manpower nearby as a way to protect herself.
Almost the moment He Ao sent the message, a figure rushed out of the mall. He looked around and his eyes quickly stopped on He Ao's black off-road vehicle.
Then he rushed over in three steps, stopped in front of the off-road vehicle, and looked inside the vehicle, "Boss?"
His tone rose, with an excited smile on his face.
Then the smile on his face froze in place after seeing the empty interior of the off-road vehicle. Then his smile gradually faded. He turned his head and stared at He Ao, "Where is our boss?"
"I don't think I told you what car I drive."
He Ao took the cigarette butt out of his mouth, put it out with a smile, and turned to look at Ruon.
"I..." Ruo En was stunned for a moment, and then immediately said, "Your car is parked outside here. I can tell it at a glance."
Then he calmed down his emotions a little and asked quickly and fiercely, "Where is our boss? Why is her bracelet in your hand?"
"Hai Xi went to another place. It was me who came here. She asked me to come back to find you and take me back to the bar to retrieve my original clothes."
He Ao said calmly, and then he waved his hand, motioning Ruo En to sit in the passenger seat, "Get in the car?"
"Are you telling the truth?"
Ruo En glanced at He Ao doubtfully, his mechanical prosthetic eyes flashed with a faint light, his eyes fell on Haixi's bracelet in He Ao's hand, he stood up, took a step back, and said quickly,
"You call the boss. I want to hear the boss's voice with my own ears. Now I suspect that you killed the boss and took her bracelet."
The moment he finished speaking, figures wearing shopping mall staff uniforms and holding submachine guns walked out of the night and looked at He Ao.
These people should all be Hexi's subordinates.
At least he was once Hexi's subordinate.
"Can."
He Ao lifted Haixi's bracelet, unlocked it with the password Haixi gave him, and started to open the address book, seemingly looking for the communication target.
"Slow down, I can't see your movements clearly, don't play tricks."
Ruo En watched He Ao's movements and snorted coldly.
"good."
He Ao raised his head and glanced in the direction of the mall. From his angle, he could just see the edge of the mall's rooftop.
He thought for a moment and leaned back on the cushion, letting Ruo En block his body.
"What are you doing?"
Ruon frowned and subconsciously reached for the gun at his waist.
"Adjust to a comfortable position."
He Ao looked at him with a smile, "Can't you?"
"Don't move around," Ruoen looked at He Ao, "You can't rule out your suspicion until you get confirmation from the boss. If it's confirmed that you hurt the boss, I will take action against you, even if you are strong."
"What if it is confirmed that your boss is fine?"
He Ao asked with a smile while looking through his address book.
"Then I will apologize to you."
Ruon said immediately.
His face looked upright, and he seemed to be extremely loyal to Haixi.
"Are you loyal to Hexi?"
He Ao asked with interest.
"Of course, I have been with the boss for seven years, and I am the person who has followed the boss for the longest time. When I first followed her, she was still a middleman."
Ruoen looked at He Ao, laughed, and replied with a little bit of pride, "I have helped her with many things over the years. Without me, she might not have been able to get to where she is today."
"so······"
He Ao stopped flipping the bracelet on his hand and glanced at the rearview mirror that he had just tilted upward. At this moment, the rearview mirror was shining on the scenery at the top of the shopping mall.
After taking a look at the scene in the rearview mirror, He Ao quickly retracted his gaze, turned his head, looked at Ruo En with a smile, and continued, "Do you think that without her, you can replace her and become the most famous person in Wetland?"
middleman?"
At the same time, his other hand moved down slightly and touched the edge of the driver's seat. He still had a smile on his face and looked at Ruo En, "Therefore, you betrayed Hexi and took refuge in Wheeler.
The US consortium, after trying to kill Haixi, replace Haixi?"
"Huh?" Ruo En was stunned, and he subconsciously took half a step back, "What did you say? I don't understand, so don't try to play tricks."
At this time, He Ao suddenly moved the switch on the edge of the seat, and the driver's seat that had been standing up was quickly lowered, and He Ao, who was lying on the seat, also lay down backwards.
boom--
The sharp bullet streaked across the sky in an instant, pierced Ruo En's chest, passed through the broken window of the driver's seat, and the scorching heat wave almost brushed the tip of He Ao's nose and hit the rear door, knocking him out.
A large hole was blown out of the door body, which was still roughly intact.
A very powerful sniper rifle.
He Ao's hand quickly went down and touched the pistol hidden under the seat.
At this moment, Ruon was still standing next to the off-road vehicle, staring at He Ao with wide eyes.
A hole as big as a bowl was opened in his chest by the sniper bullet just now, revealing the densely packed glowing circuits inside.
His eyes flashed with confusion. He opened his mouth and stretched out his hand to He Ao, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't say it.
Until just a second ago, he was still imagining the luxurious days after becoming Wetland's most famous middleman.
His whole body shook weakly and he lay back.
The bullet just now destroyed the core of his prosthetic body, completely destroying his prosthetic body.
The moment his body lay back, He Ao straightened up, raised the pistol he had just grabbed, and pointed it at the top of the mall.
As Ruo En's body fell down, the last obstacle between He Ao and the shopping mall rooftop had disappeared. He Ao's hand moved without any pause. The moment he aimed the pistol, he instantly pulled the trigger.
boom--
