Chapter 6 The Church

The sky was drizzling, the air was exceptionally fresh, and there were some pedestrians on the road, but they were all hurrying by with umbrellas. The plane trees on the side of the street are much greener after the baptism of rain. From time to time, small and shiny raindrops slipped between the branches and leaves, falling into the grass and never to be seen again.

Zhao Zhi sat in the attic wiping his pistol, and the smell of gun oil filled the entire attic. There are also two sharp knives on the table, there are several circles of dark lines on the handles, and the blade is narrow and sharp, which is customized by Zhao Zhituohante's bodyguard named Dumb. Compared with this kind of sharp knife, Zhao Zhi still likes the rough knife of the tiger tooth dagger that he collected in his previous life, but today's action is suitable for using this kind of narrow sharp knife.

The place where Zhao Zhi lives now is a small two-story building, which was rented by Hunter at his expense. On the corner not far from the small building is a Western-style building, a place known to religious believers - the church, and Zhao Zhi lived here for the church opposite.

This is the job introduced by Hunter, the 5 priests in this church are all from England, the church is actually just a cover for them to hide their identity, in fact, the priests in the church are all the same as Hunter, all of them are guys who buy coffee beans. Hunter promised to provide Zhao Zhi with weapons and ammunition for free in the future, in exchange for Zhao Zhi helping Hunter clean up the group of coffee merchants, because they robbed Hunter of his business.

Zhao Zhi is a mercenary, and the mercenary believes in the principle of hiring and being hired, and taking money to do things. The symbolic surname received a dollar from Hunter, and Zhao Zhi promised to help Hunter clean up the church, and anything related to coffee beans found in the church was considered shared by Hunter and Zhao Zhi. Although he is a mercenary, Zhao Zhi also has his own principles. He sat in the attic all the time, looking at the church diagonally opposite. In fact, it is true, as Hunter says, that the priests in the church are indeed smuggling arms. Zhao Zhi saw it at least twice, the church sneakily transported things out at night, looking at the shape of the wooden box, it should be all guns.

After moving his hands and feet, Zhao Zhi put on the night suit specially prepared for him by Hunter, which was actually a set of blackened American military uniforms, but some changes were made in some places according to Zhao Zhi's meaning. After observing for 5 days, combined with the information provided by Hunter and analyzing it, Zhao Zhi has mastered the situation of the church. He decided to do it tonight.

Zhao Zhi carefully examined the gun and bullets. This was Zhao Zhi's first dispatch at this time, and he didn't want to regret it because of a small mistake. Sitting silently in the chair, the sharp knife in Zhao Zhi's hand flashed with dazzling light under the illumination of the light. These two sharp knives will be Zhao Zhi's main weapons tonight, and the pistol he carries with him is just in case. Zhao Zhi is still waiting for someone, Hunter's bodyguard - Dumb, Hunter needs a person of his own to be present. After all, Zhao Zhi's current role is just a killer, and the 5 fake priests in the church were put down by Zhao Zhi, and the rest of the things were left to the dumb scavenger.

It was getting dark, the street lights were on, and the rain was still falling. Zhao Zhi looked at the puddles on the road through the shutters, and the raindrops that fell into the puddles shone like pearls under the illumination of the street lamps. Zhao Zhi retracted his gaze, relaxed his whole body, closed his eyes and began to meditate, which Zhao Zhi learned from an Indian yogi in his previous life, so that he could relax himself well. This is the first action, and there are others watching, Zhao Zhi doesn't want to mess up.

It's been 10 days since he came to this era, and Zhao Zhi still doesn't know what he wants to do. Originally, he had planned to settle down when he came, but Hunter's words completely defeated Zhao Zhi. What China is doing now is about backstage and power, obviously Zhao Zhi does not have these two things, and Zhao Zhi is a person with no big ambitions, and he can't work hard for those illusory things.

But this is an era of the jungle, and Zhao Zhi still understands the principle of survival of the fittest. His origin is unclear, and he also has a good skill, either for others or for being killed, this is the survival rule of Shanghai. It was with Hunter's words that Zhao Zhi agreed to temporarily help Hunter deal with some business rivals, at the cost of Hunter helping Zhao Zhi get a legal identity in a foreign country.

Eliminating all distracting thoughts, Zhao Zhi gradually calmed down, and his consciousness entered the ethereal meditation. Just when Zhao Zhi was delusional and ethereal, and his heart was empty, there was a knock on the door in his ears, and someone came.

As soon as Zhao Zhi's hand moved, a 1911 suddenly appeared in his hand, and the leg fast gun holster designed by Zhao Zhi himself was still very effective. Dumb slammed open the door and staggered into the room, froze, the muzzle of a black hole was pressed against his head.

Zhao Zhi looked at the door and made sure that no one else turned around and closed the door. Then he put it away and said in a deep voice, "Didn't you tell you the code to knock on the door?" Next time, I'll shoot."

Dumb was embarrassed with a smiling face, "Be careful, you won't do it again next time" Dumb saw that Zhao Zhi had turned around and didn't speak again, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Dumb often boasted that he was also eating on the head of the knife, but I don't know why, every time I saw the person in front of me, my head would jump wildly, and my legs trembled for no reason.

Two headlights suddenly flashed outside the shutter, and Zhao Zhi walked to the shutter and looked out with a telescope. It was a Dodge truck, and it was going to church, and the church was single. Every day, there would be a truck going to the church, and Zhao Zhi had already mastered the rules of their transportation of goods.

"How many people did you bring?"

"Ah, what did you say?" Zhao Zhi's sudden question, Dumb didn't hear clearly.

"I ask you, how many people did you bring with you when you came?"

"Ah, there's a driver, downstairs"

"It's not enough, you go to Hunter now, it's a big deal, ask him to send another 10 people, and a truck" Zhao Zhi looked at the truck carefully with a telescope by means of a street lamp, and only then put down the telescope when he saw the truck turn the corner. "You don't go to find someone yet, we'll meet in the church later" Seeing that Dumb didn't go to Hunter, Zhao Zhi smiled helplessly, what kind of bodyguard did this Hunter find, what kind of nerd.

Dumb and the driver left, Zhao Zhi smoked another cigarette, and then went downstairs. Putting on a long raincoat sent by Hunter, Zhao Zhi stepped on the rain and walked towards the church. Zhao Zhi also observed this church on the spot and knew that there was a small door at the back of the church, which led directly to the place where the priests were resting. Zhao Zhi lowered the brim of his hat, put up the collar of his raincoat, and went straight to the door at the back.
