Chapter XII: Interrogation
"Are you crazy?!"
Colleen yelled lowly.
"Nope!"
Qin Ran replied affirmatively.
"So, do you know what you're talking about?"
Colleen's gray eyes seemed to be looking at a madman.
"Of course, I knew exactly what I was talking about, and I knew what I wanted to do, as if I knew that the vulture's nest must be heavily guarded and dangerousβbut I had to...... This is an opportunity! β
Qin Ran looked at Colin and said very seriously.
"The Vulture sent his own subordinates to surround us, and he clearly didn't intend to let us live, even after this defeat! Even, the 'vulture' will become even worse, as you said, only by killing us can that Bichi be able to maintain his reputation, and showing his vicious side is the best means! β
Looking at Colleen, who looked relaxed, Qin Ran took a deep breath and continued.
"And when the 'vultures' send in again, those guys won't be as easy to deal with as the ones in front of them! Their vigilance is enough to make it difficult for us to start! Don't even think about a sneak attack like this one! And they'll be better equipped - don't tell me that before the war, the whole police department just relied on these pistols to keep the law and order! β
As he spoke, Qin Ran gestured to the loot in his hand.
"But, but ......"
Colleen frowned and tried to say something, but in the end she didn't say anything.
Because, she knew that what Qin Ran said was the truth.
Although she had despised the 'vulture' before, she couldn't change the fact that the 'vulture' side was strong.
"So, we have to kill the 'vultures' when they react! Wipe it out completely! β
Qin Ran said loudly.
"Okay, okay, I agree with Qin Ran's statement, but you have to know that it's not easy!"
Colleen thought for a moment and raised her hands in compromise.
However, there is still persuasion in the words.
What Colleen needs is a long-term reliance, even if what Qin Ran said is very reasonable, she hopes that the whole plan or the whole thing will be safer.
Especially, in the case that they gained some advantages.
Colleen would rather exchange the loot in front of her for some supplies, and then, in this damn war, live longer, even if it is hidden.
After all, that's what she did in the previous four months.
However, Qin Ran is different!
Qin Ran is a player!
Moreover, it is also a player who has to rely on the game in front of him to get enough money to treat a terminal illness!
Therefore, he needs to make himself strong quickly, kill enough enemy NPCs, obtain weapons and equipment that can be sold, and save up enough for his healing as soon as possible.
Therefore, the 'vulture' is the enemy NPC of the boss at such a glance, and Qin Ran will definitely not let it go.
As for relying on hiding to spend the rest of the game?
If Qin Ran was an ordinary player, he would consider it.
But unfortunately, Qin Ran is not.
"I know it's not going to be easy, so we need to make it a little more secure and easy - Colleen, could you please help me keep an eye on what's going on around me? By the way, I need to borrow your kitchen knife! β
Qin Ran pointed to the captives on the ground and said to Colleen.
"Okay!"
Colleen sighed and walked to the other side of the ruins.
Not only can it hide there, but the view is good enough for Colleen to see everything around, and before leaving, Colleen left the kitchen knife as Qin Ran instructed.
This kitchen knife itself is Qin Ran's trophy.
Just because of tonight's battle, just in case, Qin Ran gave it to Ke Lin.
At this moment, Qin Ran's temporary borrowing, Colin naturally wouldn't say anything.
And what does Qin Ran want to do?
Colleen had already guessed, but remained supportive.
Colleen, who has lived in the war for four months, has already changed her original concept, she is not simply obsessed with right and wrong, she just knows that doing so can make her live better.
This is the wish of every person in the war!
Colleen, of course, is no exception.
Seeing Colleen walk towards the alert position, Qin Ran's gaze turned to the captive in front of him.
Qin Ran didn't know what Colleen was thinking, he only knew that Colleen and him were in the same boat, so they could be trusted.
Qin Ran raised his leg and kicked the captive, waking the other party up from his coma.
"Please, let me go!"
The gun-wielding thug who had lost his fangs, the moment he woke up, begged for mercy again.
"Well, yes, as long as you tell me everything you want to know!"
Qin Ran nodded and said in a flat tone.
But this kind of blandness made the captured gun-wielding thug more and more frightened, because he couldn't tell whether Qin Ran was telling the truth or deceiving him based on this bland tone.
But he had no choice.
Because, the initiative is completely in Qin Ran's hands.
"What do you want to know?"
The captured gun-wielding thug asked cautiously.
"There's everything about the 'vultures', including your nests, your numbers!"
Qin Ran said.
"I don't know much about the Vulture Boss, the nest is in the underground warehouse of a shopping mall on Sixth Avenue, and there are twenty of us...... Yes! β
The gun-wielding thug didn't finish his sentence before he let out a scream.
Qin Ran raised the knife in his hand and cut off one of the other party's fingers.
"Shut up! You know, I'm not asking what everybody knows, I want to know what everybody doesn't know -- you have two more chances! β
Qin Ran, who was holding a kitchen knife, looked at each other coldly.
Immediately, the other party's screams stopped abruptly, looking at Qin Ran, who had a cold face, and the bloody kitchen knife in his hand, the fear of the gun-wielding thug overcame the pain.
"I really don't know about the 'vulture' boss, he didn't have a reputation before, but he suddenly became famous in the war! The lair is indeed in an underground warehouse, but there are thirty of us - the other day, the 'vulture' boss has taken another group of people into the group! β
Pain, fear, make the other person say something substantial.
Thirty people?
Qin Ran's eyes narrowed.
Twenty and thirty are two different concepts entirely!
If it was the former, after solving yesterday's two gun-wielding thugs and returning today's seven, Qin Ran would only need to face eleven enemies.
But now, he's going to have to face twenty-one!
Suddenly, Qin Ran felt the pressure doubled!
But the next moment, Qin Ran frowned, and he thought of a question.
"How can you afford the living needs of 30 people under such conditions? And you don't seem to be short of food and water! The shopping mall where the nest is located is just a department store, not a supermarket! Don't tell me this is also a 'vulture' brought out of the police station! You're lying to me! β
As he spoke, Qin Ran raised his kitchen knife.
Just as Qin Ran said, the living needs of thirty people are quite difficult at this time.
This is not a time of peace, nor is it the time when war has just begun.
The war that has been going on for four months has already made the entire city extremely short of living materials.
Even if he only stayed here for less than two days, Qin Ran could feel the preciousness of food and water.
But the gun-wielding thugs in front of him did not show any signs of hunger and lack of water.
On the contrary, the body is not only strong and powerful, but also vibrant.
If it was a person like this, it could be explained as luck, but Qin Ran recalled that the gun-wielding thugs he had come into contact with were all like this.
Obviously, this group of gunmen is not short of food, water, and supplies, and will never run out anytime soon, and this is not just the necessities needed by 30 adults.
At least 30 adults, two or three weeks of necessities!
But even if the 'vultures' had the advantage of weapons and numbers, it would be impossible to do so.
Unless they robbed a big supermarket.
But it's also impossible!
Because, at the beginning of the war, it was emptied by the inhabitants of the city.
Therefore, Qin Ran subconsciously thought that the other party was lying.
"Nope! I didn't! The 'Vulture' boss has a special channel to get supplies! β
The other party looked at the raised kitchen knife, his eyes shrank, and he immediately explained.
"What channel?"
Qin Ran asked.
The other party showed hesitation, but Qin Ran did not hesitate at all.
The kitchen knife was raised, and it fell suddenly.
The gun-wielding thug's finger was chopped off again.
"Ahh
The gunmen let out another scream.
"Looks like you don't understand your situation, do I need to remind you again?"
As he spoke, Qin Ran raised the kitchen knife again.
"It's the rebels! Rebels! β
The gun-wielding thug immediately said in quick succession.
"Rebels?"
Qin Ran was stunned.
Qin Ran didn't expect that the 'vulture' would be able to hook up with the rebels in everything, after all, according to the words of Colleen and the gun-wielding thug in front of him, the 'vulture' was just a little gangster before the war broke out!
How could such a person have a connection with the rebels?
"The 'Vulture' boss grabbed some women, and with the help of them, he teamed up with a rebel major!"
It seemed that he was worried that it would be too late to say it, and he would be stabbed again, and the gun-wielding thug said straight without waiting for Qin Ran to ask.
And the moment he heard this, Qin Ran suddenly clenched the hilt of the knife.
Qin Ran, who was not stupid, naturally guessed what the cooperation between the 'vulture' and the rebel 'major' was.
This made Qin Ran burst out of his heart with surging anger.
Then, the anger turned to murderous intent.
However, when he looked at the gun-wielding thug, it seemed very bland.
"Very well, you seem to understand how we talk - next, you tell me the distribution of the nest and the location of the personnel!"
Qin Ran said so.
"Okay, okay!"
The gun-wielding thug nodded his head again and again, telling everything he knew like a bamboo tube pouring beans.
And he didn't notice that Qin Ran's eyes were getting colder and colder.
