Chapter 578: The man who stabbed his eyes blind (two chapters in one, please vote for me)
The Mercedes-Benz off-road vehicle moved forward quickly, and the cool night wind blew across He Ao's cheek.
The memory chip recording Ned's negative information flipped between his fingers, swimming between his fingers like a spiritual snake.
And another memory chip was caught between his fingers.
His eyes fell on the front. Hexi called two cars in total, and Dessank was sitting in the car in front.
At this moment, He Ao was sitting on the roof of the car behind him, his eyes following the moonlight as he scanned the surrounding decaying buildings.
The Zarot neighborhood is located in the West District near the North Wetterland district and is one of the earliest components of the West District.
From Plant District to Zarot District, you need to walk vertically through the chaotic West District. Sitting on the roof of the car can give Heao a better view and prevent crises hidden in the crowd or nearby buildings.
Although federal traffic regulations are generally similar, there are many differences between different cities in details.
For example, in Chenxi City, passengers in the car are not allowed to extend their limbs outside the car, and they are not allowed to sit on the roof of the car. If they do, they will be fined.
The city of Wetterland does not have such detailed regulations. Passengers can ride however they want, and can even stand upside down on the front hood of the car.
However, if an accident occurs in this situation, the insurance company may refuse coverage.
In Wetterland, Ho's behavior of sitting on the roof of a car is legal.
While looking around, He Ao was also reviewing today's situation.
The mysterious man sent Vader to kill Desanke and Hexi, and it was Vader's own arrangement to lure Ho Ao into the game.
In other words, the mysterious man's original plan was not to attack He Ao directly. This was because when He Ao was in the mental hospital, the mysterious man asked the FBI instead of sending someone to take the incomplete
It can also be seen that B-level genetic medicine is used to deal with He Ao.
Even if there is that kind of B-level genetic medicine, the mysterious person should still have concerns now, either because he is short of manpower or he has other arrangements.
Judging from the mysterious man's previous operations, he is a very conservative person. He surrounded and killed D-class Jace in an alley, sent a mercenary team, and also sent a C-class.
When chasing He Ao, he took out dozens of D-class genetic potions and three C-class genetic potions. From Vader's words, it can be inferred that the mysterious man also sent C-class ones to support those mercenaries.
, I just went late and didn’t meet He Ao.
If it weren't for the encounter in the abandoned small building being led by He Ao, who caught the mercenaries off guard and quickly completed the battle without giving the mysterious man a chance to mobilize more power.
Otherwise, He Ao may not be able to walk out of that abandoned building.
After these two sieges, the mysterious man showed great caution in attacking He Ao. Especially after He Ao killed Allent in the mental hospital and took away the wooden box, the mysterious man would most likely be even more cautious.
Therefore, He Ao estimated that as long as he did not take the initiative to enter a place where the mysterious man might lay a trap, such as going home, the mysterious man would not take the initiative to mobilize manpower to surround and kill him in the short term.
Vader, a C-level assassin, came to carry out the assassination mission this time, and there was not a single subordinate around him. Even if there was one of his subordinates following him, Vader would not be able to make his own decisions and lure He Ao over.
He Ao had a hunch that most of the mysterious man's trustworthy subordinates, those middle-level combatants, might have been killed by him.
In this case, the mysterious man will be more careful in his actions. After all, it is not an easy task to gather a group of elite subordinates who can fight hard.
And if He Ao's guess is correct, there will be a lot of room for maneuver.
However, although He Ao judged that the mysterious man would not send people to attack him in away games, he was not wrong to be careful, and he was not the only target of the mysterious man, Desank was also one of the targets.
Even if you can't deal with Ho Ao, you can still find a sniper to kill Desank.
A slender arm stretched out from the passenger window. Haixi poked her head out from the passenger window. She reached out to hold the door, turned over and jumped onto the roof of the car.
She raised her head and looked around, "Will it be cold in here?"
"fine."
He Ao pulled the fur coat on his body.
He just bought this coat on the roadside. He didn't feel cold at all, but after the previous battles, his clothes were in disarray.
I synchronized the chat history, did you rush over after seeing the location that Vader sent you using my bracelet?"
Hai Xi sat next to He Ao and said softly.
"No," He Ao shook his head, "When I saw you promising me that there was no problem, I rushed here. Even if Wade doesn't send me the location, as long as you persist long enough, I can still find it.
come over."
"ah?"
Hai Xi was stunned. She raised her head and looked at He Ao with some surprise, "You are me. How did you know you were in danger?"
"Huh?" He Ao gave her a confused look, "You have planted your flag so obviously. When you and I left the Huiermei Medical Building, you said there was absolutely no problem in the West District."
Haixi:······
"That was an accident," Haixi argued. "There was no problem when I got the information you asked for this time. It was just when I handed it over to Desank that something went wrong."
"Is there a possibility," He Ao pondered, "that Wade has been following you, and he only took action when you and Desank handed over."
Haixi:······
This guy has a damn venomous tongue.
But she knew that He Ao was joking. Both she and He Ao knew that it was unlikely that Wade would follow her to find Desank.
She started from the Zarot neighborhood and took several detours. She had a lot of counter-reconnaissance awareness. It was unlikely that Vader would catch her. On the contrary, Vader followed Desank, then found her, and finally caught her all. It would be easier.
a lot of.
The scene became quiet for a moment.
The silent night wind blew over the woman's fair cheek, "No matter what, thank you for today."
"You're welcome, just waive the commission fee for me."
He Ao smiled.
Haixi turned her head and stared at He Ao. She smacked her lips and said, "Okay, no more joking. If there is anything you need me to do, just ask."
"good."
He Ao nodded slightly.
The night wind blew across their cheeks at the same time. In this silent wind, it seemed as if a gentle woman said softly, 'Thank you'.
At this time, Haixi seemed to see something, "Wait for me."
She jumped out of the car and ran into a nearby convenience store.
After a minute, she ran out, holding two bottles of sparkling water in her hands, and ran to catch up with the SUV and jumped on the roof.
"Taste it,"
She handed a bottle of sparkling water to He Ao, "I see you like drinking this kind of sparkling water at dinner parties."
"Thanks."
He Ao took the sparkling water, opened the lid, and took a sip. The expanding gas exploded in his throat in an instant. He smiled and looked at Hai Xi, "It's not bad."
"You have to trust my vision."
Haixi sat down and opened her bottle of sparkling water. She looked around, "You are so professional sometimes that I forget you are a professor."
The location chosen by He Aoxuan happened to be the place with the best viewing angle.
"People always change,"
He Ao smiled. He took another sip of water and looked at the surrounding buildings. "When I was a child, I was a good boy. I had good grades and didn't dare to do anything inappropriate. At that time, I longed to be able to sit in the water.
On the roof, it feels cool.”
"I thought that when you were a child, you would be the kind of academic who has top-notch grades and is coveted by everyone."
Haixi smiled.
"Everyone has different talents. People with good scientific research talents may not necessarily have very good results,"
He Ao looked at the dimly lit road ahead. The streets in the West District had not been maintained for a long time. There were potholes and bumps everywhere. "My parents rarely scold me because of my grades."
Jace's father hardly asked Jace to get first place, he just asked Jace to "don't fall behind."
Every time, Jess almost always stepped on the line and entered a good school, then maintained a mid-range level in school, and then stepped on the line to enter Wetterland University.
"very nice."
Haixi curled up her legs, hugged her knees, and looked at the bright moon in the sky.
Under the bright moon, at the end of the city, is the Zarot neighborhood where the waste pickers live.
He Ao also looked at the end of the building, "You have a bank card and a social security account. Are you not a scavenger?"
"Um,"
Haixi was silent for a moment, took a sip of water, the moonlight shone on her eyes with a faint light, and then she said slowly,
"I originally lived in Plant District. My father was a worker in a nearby factory and my mother was a domestic cleaner. We rented an old building near the industrial area and shared a large three-bedroom apartment with two other tenants.
"When I was in school, my grades were very good, and I often got A's. Every time I showed my report card to my mother, she would be very happy. She always thought that I could go to college in the future, move to a better place, or even
One person can afford to rent a single-family apartment.”
After saying this, she paused and took a sip of water quietly.
He Ao sat quietly next to her, watching the surroundings.
After a brief pause, Haixi spoke again,
"When I was a kid, I always thought this was my future life, but when I was ten years old, everything changed.
“My mother was diagnosed with a malignant tumor, and treatment requires high costs. Even the cheapest specific drugs are not something our family can afford.
“My mother signed a temporary labor contract with the cleaning company, so that the cleaning company did not have to purchase medical insurance for her, and we had to bear all of my mother’s medical expenses, and the family’s savings were quickly gone.
"After my mother was diagnosed with a tumor, her health became worse and worse. She was soon unable to work and was bedridden.
"In order to earn money for my mother's special medicine and to maintain the family's life, my father worked crazy overtime, sometimes working night shifts for a week or two in a row. At that time, I didn't realize anything. I only knew that the bread at home was getting more and more.
It tastes bad, and my father comes home later and later.
"It was like this. Although life was difficult, it seemed to be manageable. But one day, my father's factory called my mother and told me that my father had passed away. He accidentally got caught in the machine while working the night shift. Except for some scraps of clothes, everything
None were left.
"The factory said that my father did not buy accident insurance and there was no compensation. Out of humanitarianism, they gave us 5,000 federal dollars.
"They packed up some of my father's belongings and gave them to us. On the day we received the belongings, my mother got up from the bed, dressed up for a long time, and took me to the factory. It was my first time going there. I only remember that.
The factory is very big and luxurious,
“The clerk who took us in said that the landscape tree at the entrance of the factory only costs 5,000 federal coins.
"Later I learned that that factory was one of the largest factories under the Huiermei Consortium.
"After my father passed away, my mother's health became worse and worse, and she spoke less and less. One morning, when I woke her up, she never woke up again.
"The tenant who rented the same house helped me call a car from the funeral home and took my mother away. The rent of the funeral home, labor costs, transportation fees, cremation coffins, and service fees all added up to more than 6,000 federal dollars.
"But at that time, I only had 5,000 federal dollars given to me by the factory. Among them, I spent 500 federal dollars to buy medicine for my mother, leaving less than 4,500 federal dollars. My parents' credit card had been maxed out a long time ago and was used to buy medicine.
I can't borrow any money either.
"The staff at the funeral home looked at me pitifully. They raised money to help me advance a lot of money. In the end, I only gave 3,800 federal dollars. I couldn't afford a cemetery or an urn, so the staff at the funeral home found one for me.
A small wooden box contains my mother's ashes.
"Shortly after I returned home, people from the apartment management company came to collect the rent arrears, which totaled 600 federal dollars. I couldn't pay the rent for the next month and was kicked out of the apartment.
"That year, I was ten years old, holding my mother's urn and sleeping on the street. At first I was in the Plant District. Later, when the neighborhood was being cleaned up, I and the homeless people around me were kicked out by the neighborhood management staff.
My mother's urn was also snatched away by adults in that chaos.
"I only recovered a small handful of ashes. I kept those ashes and later sealed them in artificial amber."
At this point, Haixi paused and said, "Sorry, my story is too long."
And He Ao just said gently, "I'm listening."
Haixi paused for a moment, turned to look at He Ao, and looked at the gentle cheek stained with blood under the moonlight. For some reason, the tension in her heart relaxed a little.
She turned her head and continued to look around, "Later, I lived in several places and was kicked out by the neighborhood or apartment management. Finally, I arrived in the West District. No one drove us away, but there were gunshots everywhere. Every day
Everyone died.
"I formed a group with some similarly homeless children. We helped each other, went to gang-managed restaurants to steal food, picked up trash on the streets, and sold it to cleaning companies or machinery modification shops. I gradually became the boss of the children.
"Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. The surrounding gangs gradually noticed us. One of our children was caught stealing food at a restaurant managed by the gang and had his leg broken. I took people to the restaurant to cause trouble and retaliate. The result was
It was a trap. I was caught by the gang boss in order to cover the escape of others."
The off-road vehicle passed a streetlight, and the dim light reflected on Haixi's twinkling pupils, "The boss said that my eyes were beautiful, and then he blinded my eyes and broke my hands and feet, and then I fell into a coma.
past.
"When I woke up, I found myself thrown on a street I had never been before. There was nothing around me. I couldn't see anything. I just felt weak. I thought I was going to die."
"You met the scavengers?"
Heao asked.
"Um,"
Haixi nodded slightly, "I met the priest who was a scavenger outside buying medicine. He is a C-level transcendent, 'Talent Sequence 71: Pharmacologist'. I call him grandpa."
"My grandfather took me back to the Zarot neighborhood and cured my body, but my eyes couldn't be cured because they were discovered too late. He replaced me with a simple mechanical prosthetic eye, which helped me partially recover.
vision.
"Grandpa had no children, so the two of us depended on each other. That period was the happiest time in my life. Grandpa taught me many things, from astronomy and geography to pharmacology and arithmetic. Every time he went out, he would bring me delicious food.
It’s fun, and he also brings me interesting books.”
A faint smile appeared on Hai Xi's cheek. This was the first time He Ao saw a smile on her cheek since she told the story.
"Grandpa has a strong appeal among waste pickers. He often leaves the Zarot neighborhood to contact other consortiums, city council members, and mayoral candidates in the name of buying medicine, trying to fight for the rights of waste pickers.
His greatest ideal in life is to allow scavengers to live like normal federal citizens.
"He has been busy for this all his life, but he has achieved nothing. No one is willing to help him. Even if a new consortium is willing to contact him, it just wants to get a share of the cleaning company alliance. If they get the benefits, they will immediately cut off from Grandpa.
relation.
"Grandpa is not happy every time he comes back, but he will try to avoid me.
"But it all ended when I was seventeen years old. My grandfather was assassinated by a cleaning company when I went out to buy medicine. They could no longer tolerate my grandfather. Although he returned to Zarot alive in the end, his body suffered a lot.
Seriously injured.
"He gave me the best prosthetic eye at the time, bought me a lot of beautiful clothes, and asked a former acquaintance to find me a good job in the Saint-Lot district. He wanted me to leave."
Haixi's eyes flickered, and she smiled, "Actually, I knew why grandpa adopted me from the beginning. I have a grudge against the Huiermei Foundation. Although I was a street child, I was registered at birth and had my own social security account.
, is a federal citizen with status.
"The scavengers themselves have worked hard for many years, but still have not entered the society of Wetland and found their own allies, so my grandfather placed his hope on me, hoping that I can realize his ideals and those of the scavengers of all generations.
"But this old man hesitated in the end. He didn't want to put this burden on me. Especially after he was assassinated, he began to fear that I would repeat his fate."
"But then you convinced him?"
He Ao said slowly.
"Um,"
Haixi nodded, "After my grandfather died, I became the priest of the scavengers and inherited his talent sequence. During the period of gradual promotion, I began to use my status as a normal federal citizen to build my own power in the Western District.
, and finally got to where we are now.”
She turned to look at He Ao, showing an apologetic smile, "Sorry for making you listen to such a long story."
"So what happened to the gang boss who stabbed your eye out?"
He Ao asked with a smile.
"He did a lot of bad things. I also blinded his eyes and broke his hands and feet. But instead of throwing him on the street, I threw him in his base camp, in front of his
The face left."
Haixi smiled, "When I went to see him the next day, he was already dead. His body was covered with wounds, including knife wounds and gunshot wounds. His younger brother said he didn't know what happened last night, but he was covered in wounds.
Stained with blood."
"It seems that he is indeed unpopular."
He Ao nodded slightly.
His question suddenly eased the awkward atmosphere just now.
The flowing wind blew through Haixi's short burgundy hair. She turned to look at He Ao, "So what about you? You are obviously a professor..."
"Do you still remember the C-class who caught up with us in Huiermei Medical Building that day? Do you think there is anything wrong with his abilities?"
He Ao did not answer directly, but asked slowly.
"His power is weaker than that of a normal C-level, and his control is not very good," Haixi recalled for a moment and said slowly, "It looks like he was promoted with the help of some external force, and he was in a bad state when he died.
It’s also a little weird.”
"Gene Potion,"
He Ao reached out and held the pendant on his chest. The entrance to Zarot Street had appeared in front of him. He looked at Haixi and asked, "Can you lend me a gun if you have one?"
"Um?"
Haixi was stunned for a moment, then she quickly took out a powerful pistol from her jacket and handed it to He Ao.
"Thanks."
He Ao put down the sparkling water, took the pistol, and continued, "Please turn the steering wheel of the car in front to the left."
"good."
Haixi immediately picked up a walkie-talkie and repeated He Ao's words into the walkie-talkie.
At the same time, He Ao raised his pistol, turned around, and pointed it at the old building behind him.
The off-road vehicle in front made a left turn towards the edge of the street.
boom--
The scorching bullets pierced the cold night sky, grazed the frame of the off-road vehicle and hit the road ahead.
If the SUV hadn't turned left, the bullet would have hit the back of Desanke's head, who was sitting in the back seat.
At the same time, He Ao pulled the trigger.
boom--
Accompanied by a roaring gunshot, a sniper lying on the edge of a sniper rifle in a small building in the distance stiffened and fell backwards, with blood covering his cheeks.
He Ao turned around and looked at the stunned Hai Xi, as if nothing had happened. He handed the gun to Hai Xi and continued softly,
"The person behind the scenes, in order to study something that can enhance the power of extraordinary beings, my father was killed, my mother was killed, and my wife was killed. Now, he wants to kill me. It's as simple as that."
Haixi slowly closed her mouth, and the people on the off-road vehicle in front were rushing out of the car in panic. She looked at He Ao, looking at this gentle and elegant man with a trembling madness hidden under it, "So
, what are you going to do."
"My thoughts are the same as yours," He Ao said with a smile, "Let the person who pierces the blind eyes be pierced blind."
He slowly released his hand holding the pendant, and the chip containing Ned's negative information and the flow direction of the raw materials for the genetic medicine lay quietly in his palm.
A little later, it’s a bit stuck, it took me a long time to write, I should be able to update it at noon tomorrow (I’m sure).
