Chapter 535 I’m here (please vote for the big chapter)
puff--
He Ao's feet fell into the muddy water. He put away his dagger and walked step by step towards the body of the thin man who had just laid down.
He knelt down, pinched the man's ankles, and dragged him deeper into the night.
C-level corpses may evolve into dangerous extraordinary objects, and even contaminate the surrounding area, causing C-level weird phenomena. Either way, it is likely to lead to the innocent deaths of surrounding residents.
Therefore, this body cannot be left here and needs to be taken to a place where it can be disposed of.
The rain curtain was still falling slowly, and the blood mixed with mud rushed out from the old cement cracks, followed by the gurgling water, and fell into the old sewer cracks.
I don't know how long it took, but the dark window was illuminated by light again, and a figure pressed tightly against the window glass, as if trying to see some of the scenes outside through the dark glass.
At this moment, a chaotic and noisy sound suddenly sounded behind her. She trembled and turned around suddenly, only to hear a young child's voice, "Mom, look, the superhero defeated the bad guy."
"Baby, don't turn on the TV suddenly. You almost scared mom to death."
The figure stood up and backed away from the window.
······
And in the shadow of the night, He Ao dragged the body of the thin man forward slowly.
The rain splashed drops of water at his feet.
Soon, he walked to the exit of this area, and not far in front of him, a middle-aged man wearing a mercenary uniform was holding a walkie-talkie and calling something.
Then the man seemed to sense something. He raised his head and saw He Ao walking towards him in the rain.
His eyes moved to the body behind He Ao, he took half a step back, and said hoarsely, "Mr. Jess, we have no grudges. I just use money to do things. Several of my brothers were also killed by that C-level
, we are all victims.”
This person is the mercenary captain who just ran away.
He Ao glanced at the mercenary captain. He was wearing a set of exoskeleton armor that was obviously much more luxurious than ordinary mercenaries. This may be why he could run faster than other mercenaries. He ran away from the skinny man.
The reason for falling.
Wei An has also studied the exoskeleton armor he is wearing. This armor is one of the advanced individual equipment produced by Ives Space Systems Company. There is a high-energy laser cannon on the chest that can fire an ultra-high-energy laser.
, at close range, it can even hurt Class C.
However, after that launch, the exoskeleton armor was basically useless and needed to be returned to the factory for repairs.
He Ao withdrew his eyes from the mercenary captain's exoskeleton armor and looked forward, with a calm expression and without speaking, walking towards the exit step by step.
"Please show your respect."
The mercenary captain continued to retreat and said slowly.
He Ao tilted his head and moved his gaze back to look at the mercenary captain.
When Jess was cornered, why didn't this man stand up and say, 'Support me'?
Jace is really showing off his skills. He has the ability to kill mercenaries, but he didn't kill any of them.
It didn't even cause fatal injuries to anyone.
Then he was shot by a sniper and forced into a corner.
As He Ao stepped closer, the mercenary captain's face turned pale. He gave up what he had just said and pressed a button on the exoskeleton armor on his arm. "If you don't let me go, you won't feel better either."
The laser cannon on his chest unfolded and began to accumulate energy.
At this moment, He Ao raised his head and glanced at him. The next second, his body appeared in front of the mercenary captain.
He took out a silver tube from his arms and handed it to the mercenary captain.
The mercenary captain subconsciously took the tube and said thank you, "Thank you."
"Need not."
He Ao shook his head and dragged the skinny man's body forward.
It was at this time that the mercenary captain discovered what he was holding in his hand.
It was a silver alloy tube with a glass test tube embedded in it, and an orange-yellow viscous liquid was flowing in the test tube.
On the top of the alloy tube, there is a simple red button. At this moment, the button has been pressed, and a harsh and rapid alarm sound comes from below the button.
The experienced mercenary captain instantly understood what this was.
Simple liquid explosive!
He suddenly raised his hand and wanted to throw the metal pipe out.
However, it was too late now.
The roaring explosion sounded like thunder.
The blazing flames evaporated the rain curtain into white mist, which instantly spurted out and enveloped everything around it.
Splashing bricks and stones spurted out.
He Ao's figure walked calmly on the street, walking step by step into the depths of the night.
He just handed the explosives to the mercenary captain, using the skills of a donor.
Jace actually had the ability to kill the mercenary captain easily.
The shattered exoskeleton armor flew out and rolled down the silent street.
——
boom--
He Ao closed the trunk of the car.
Then he turned around, left the car parked on the side of the road, and walked to the side street.
There are some storefronts on both sides of the street that are still open.
The bright lights scattered on the dark road, looking unexpectedly dazzling.
He Ao glanced at the time on his bracelet, which read ten minutes past ten in the evening.
There are almost no fragments of the West End of Wetland City in Jace's memory.
For Jess, who received an elite education from a young age, went from the best elementary school to the best university, and finally stayed in school to teach, the common life in the Plant District was the limit of what he could understand.
The West End, full of chaos and carnage, only existed in his hearsay and glimpses of it when he passed by this place at certain times.
Before coming to the West End for his appointment tonight, he even had some romantic fantasies about the West End.
Of course, all the romance had disappeared when he was forced into the hunting ground in embarrassment.
He Ao moved slowly and staggered into a communications store.
Although Jess has no memory of the West District, He Ao has many memories of the Aston District of Dawn City in his mind. There will always be similarities in the same abyss of chaos in the bustling city.
This place is not far from the place where the battle between He Ao and the mercenaries took place. Generally, at this time, the owner of a shop that dares to open such a large-scale gun battle has some knowledge.
Either you have the strength yourself, or you have the strength behind you.
The store that He Ao walked into clearly belonged to someone with real power behind it.
This communications store occupies a small area and is similar to Roger's communications store, except that the owner here is not an underground doctor like Roger, but a man with tattoos and seven or eight earrings.
A young man wearing only a large T-shirt in such a cold weather.
Judging from the appearance of this young man, he should belong to a nearby gang, and his power is not small.
"You want to buy something."
The young boss was watching a drama. He glanced at He Ao who walked in the door. His eyes stayed on He Ao's blood-covered clothes for a moment, then quickly withdrew his gaze and asked casually.
He was not curious about He Ao's costume covered in blood.
The West District is full of people covered in blood. They are either clinging to their own blood or clinging to other people's blood. There is nothing unusual about it.
However, he still sat up, put his hands behind his waist, and looked at He Ao warily and seriously.
It wouldn't be surprising for a man covered in blood to pull a gun out of his pocket and slap it on the counter.
"Bring me a smart bracelet, the latest model."
He Ao walked straight to the young man, raised his hand, and said slowly.
When he raised his hand, the young man was obviously startled.
"What brand do you want, Nord? Tellison? Notes?"
After discovering that He Ao had not taken out a gun and slapped it on the table, the young man breathed a sigh of relief, reached out and groped under the cabinet, and asked softly.
"Tellison."
He Ao glanced at the bracelet on his hand and said softly.
Tellison is a leading consortium in the communications equipment industry.
"alright, please wait."
The young boss groped under the cabinet and first grabbed a dusty box.
It was at this moment, at such a close distance, that he saw the horrific wounds on He Ao's body, as well as the cold murderous aura on He Ao's blood-covered cheeks that had not yet completely disappeared.
At this time, He Ao also looked at him doubtfully. At that moment, he felt that his soul had briefly left his body. His body, which had never felt cold even in the cold winter, was now soaked in cold sweat.
He decisively gave up the original box and took out a brand new box.
"There are 1,099 federal coins in total. Do you want to pay by credit card or contract? Of course, if you want to pay in installments, we can also provide installment services."
To swipe a card is to pay directly with a credit card, and the contract is to sign a contract with the operator for at least two years and bind it to the operator's fixed package, so that you can get the bracelet at an extremely low down payment price.
The contract is actually an installment payment in disguise. Because there is no competitive pressure, the federal contract machine and the package fee after taxes and fees are actually much higher than the credit card installment fee.
Of course, this is a good choice for some users who cannot use credit cards for installment and cannot get bank credit.
And after binding a specific package, the installment cost of the contract machine will not appear so "high" because of the additional services.
Therefore, this contract method is very popular in chaotic and poor areas.
Essentially, this is a high-interest loan for the poor.
The installments provided by such stores are different from those provided by banks. The installments provided by stores usually come from financial companies registered by gangs. The users of this kind of installments are those who are unwilling to provide "contracts" by communication companies.
Gangs have ways to recoup loans from these people, so they can borrow money with confidence. Of course, the interest may be higher than the maximum interest rate stipulated by the federal government.
And most of these loan shark gangs are supported by large financial groups.
"Swipe your card."
He Ao glanced at the price tag of 3299 on the box, opened the box directly, took out the new bracelet inside, and after confirming that it was indeed brand new with no signs of use, he lifted up the old bracelet in his hand.
.
Such small shops in chaotic areas like to use second-hand bracelets as new ones, or refurbished old bracelets and sell them at a higher price.
Of course, the price offered to He Ao by this young boss was the normal price. The price of 1,099 was even lower than that of other specialty stores. There were no signs of refurbishment on this bracelet.
He Ao felt that perhaps his kindness moved the boss.
"Okay, please wait a moment."
The boss nodded slightly, quickly reached under the counter and fumbled for a credit card machine, and swiped it on He Ao's bracelet.
Soon, He Ao's bracelet vibrated, indicating that the credit card's charge information had arrived.
Federal banks will provide users with debit cards that can be used to deposit and withdraw cash, but these debit cards basically cannot be used for consumption.
Most stores in the federation only support credit card payment. After opening an account at a bank, users often have to apply for a bank credit card before they can make purchases.
Accounts used for deposits only support deposits, withdrawals, transfers, and the purchase of bank financial services.
He Ao changed his bracelet to a new one and left the store.
He transferred his original electronic number and contacted Eve.
······
"Hello, K."
A little girl in a white dress is shown in He Ao's bracelet.
"Hello, Eve."
He Ao lay on the driver's seat and placed the bracelet on the bracelet base above the vehicle's central control screen.
Through this base, the bracelet will have a data connection with the vehicle's central control system.
"Eve, help me scan the whole car."
After putting down the bracelet, He Ao straightened up and retreated out of the car.
"There is a Trojan virus in your vehicle and it is being removed for you. The removal was successful and the entire vehicle is being scanned for you."
Eve's voice slowly sounded in the car, "There is a navigation locator inside your right wheel hub."
He Ao walked to the right wheel hub, stretched out his hand, and found a small black square only the size of a thumb on the frame on the inside of the right wheel hub. This small square was firmly attached to the frame. He Ao used
It took some effort to pull it out.
There is also a small red light on the small square that is still on, proving that the square is still running.
He Ao pinched his index finger and thumb and crushed the small square. Then he took out the old bracelet, crushed it together, and threw it into the garbage pile nearby.
Someone might have installed a virus on Jace's bracelet that could monitor his movements.
Although He Ao can use Eve to crack the virus, his operation of logging into the Eve website before binding Eve may also be captured.
So just in case, he bought a new bracelet.
Jingle Bell--
At this moment, the harsh ringtone of the bracelet slowly sounded.
The ringtone did not come from his new bracelet, nor from the old one that was destroyed, but from his trunk.
He Ao opened the trunk, glanced at the body of the thin man he had stuffed into the trunk, and took off his bracelet from his wrist.
At this moment, the bracelet is vibrating slightly, and an [Unknown Call] is displayed on the screen.
He Ao answered the phone.
"How is it going?"
A low voice came from the other end of the phone.
This voice 'Jace' is unusually familiar, coming from the mysterious man who originally brought him into the project.
Jess was already very familiar with this 'boss' whom he had known for several years.
Although until now, Jace still doesn't know the name of this mysterious man. He has only had contact with the mysterious man a handful of times. Every time, the mysterious man takes the initiative to come to Jace.
"The situation is very good," He Ao glanced at the body in the trunk and said politely and calmly, "Looking forward to our next meeting."
Then he hung up the phone and threw the bracelet into the trash.
In the past, it was the mysterious man who looked for 'Jace', but now it's He Ao's turn to look for him.
After manually checking again that there were no other locators, He Ao opened the door and got into the driver's seat.
"Eve, turn on autopilot."
Leaning on the driver's seat, He Ao slowly spoke.
"Autopilot has been turned on for you."
The little girl in white dress on the central control screen smiled and said, "Please set the destination."
He Ao raised his hand, chose a destination, then leaned on his seat and narrowed his eyes a little.
——
When the sky was close to dawn, He Ao woke up from his sleep.
He touched the wounds on his body and found that most of them were almost healed.
Perhaps due to the influence of the system's power, his body would burst out with extremely strong recovery capabilities on the first day he opened the dungeon.
He looked up at the surrounding buildings, picked up the bracelet on the base, put it on his hand, and re-downloaded the communication software and various basic software.
He first browsed the news, and none of the information Jace gave to the detective agency had been exposed.
Then he opened the communication software, and the first thing he saw was the contact person of the detective agency. He sent many words of concern.
What's more, they asked He Ao's specific location, acting as if he wanted to help 'Jace'.
After He Ao opened the software, he seemed to see a reminder that He Ao was online, and quickly sent a message.
[Where are you now?]
He Ao raised his head and glanced at the signboard [Norbeck Detective Agency] above his head. As he walked into the building, he replied with his bracelet,
