Fear.

The night, the streets, the torrential rain.

A cold, fearful gaze.

Lu Wen knew what these people were most afraid of.

Not a prey that appears.

It's the vanishing hunter.

So he didn't choose to grapple with Ivan.

It didn't do him any good.

Ivan, the combat power of this big fat man, can be glimpsed only from the cold mechanical parts.

Lu Wen can win.

But you have to guard against the cold guns of Ivan's men.

After that explosion, he lost a lot of small ants, and the follow-up is still on the way to fly in a drone, and now is not the best time for a head-on collision.

So he stepped back.

Gone.

Standing on the roof of the ruined two-story building, Ivan was tall and gloomy, and the rain was pouring down, like an angry king, standing on a cold throne and roaring below.

"Find me this machine!"

Heavy rain is like a note.

Countless black-clad thugs poured out.

The entire three-storey area was called.

A pair of hurried steps shattered the tranquility of the rainy night.

Rain splashes.

Every two-story business district has ceased to be bustling and bustling, the neon is dim, the nightclubs are closed, and all the guests have gone home in the rain all night with caution for fear of angering the angry monarch.

"Mole ants! Crawler! ”

"Why don't the despicable people who only hide in the darkness dare not come out and fight me head-on?!"

Ivan's roar sent a message to everyone.

If there is a head-on fight, a one-on-one situation, the machine hiding in the darkness does not seem to be Ivan's opponent.

So he retreated.

So these men were even more in awe of Ivan.

The owners of the second floor sitting in the car were also shocked, they hadn't seen Ivan make a move for a long time.

The ferocity and violence of this big fat man are completely proportional to his own strength.

Everyone here is very confident in their own abilities, but they all feel that they are far from Ivan.

Ivan stood on a high place, his eyes were cold, and after looking around, he jumped down.

"Boom!"

As he landed, the whole street seemed to tremble for a moment.

Rain splashes on the ground.

Surrounded by his men, he held up an umbrella and put on a black robe, escorting him step by step back to the three-story car.

The tires have been changed.

These subordinates are now acting quite neatly, and they are afraid that if something is wrong, they will be picked up and torn apart by Ivan without saying a word.

Street entrance.

Under the dim neon.

The door opened, waiting for Ivan to enter.

But as soon as Ivan got to the door, he stopped and looked around.

Suddenly, all the people nearby were shocked, silent, and they didn't dare to make too loud noises.

It was so quiet that there was only the sound of rain.

The rain fell, and only Ivan had an umbrella on his head.

He said coldly: "Why are you so afraid of me, thinking that I am a fool in those movies, killing my own subordinates if I don't agree with each other?" ”

Hearing this, many people trembled slightly.

All his men buried their heads lower, letting the icy rain hit their necks.

"Heads up, Ivan, don't want a bunch of cowering soft-ass."

Ivan snorted coldly and then entered the car.

He slammed the door shut.

I only heard a "bang", and the whole car shook, as if it was wailing, feeling that as long as the force was a little stronger, the car door would be torn off by him.

Ivan sat in the car, and after calming his breath briefly, he asked lightly, "What are your plans for tonight?" ”

This is addressed to all the owners of the second floor.

When everyone heard the questioning, they were silent for a moment.

Tonight's Ivan, the sense of oppression is too strong.

So much so that they all had to think about how to reply seriously so as not to anger him.

Buzz the Giant was the first to reply.

"I'm not going back tonight, let's find that machine first."

With his statement, the other second-story lords also answered.

"It's better to have more people, and the machine doesn't know where to hide, and it's easy to be broken by him when it's scattered, and I won't go back tonight."

"When I was fighting for turf, I didn't close my eyes for two days and two nights, and I fought with my opponent, and I'm here tonight."

"I grew up in the mixed zone, so I'm the one tonight!"

“……”

Everyone expressed their opinions.

They can only follow Ivan here.

The reason is simple.

If they leave alone, they may be remembered by an enraged Ivan, and then find a random reason to send someone to take their heads in the middle of the night, so that there is one more borderland in this area.

And they were worried that the machine would go back with them.

From here, back to their respective two-story areas, there are plenty of places with a wide view that are suitable for setting up sniper rifles.

What if you are halfway through the line and suddenly get blown in the head by a bullet?

Thinking about it, Ivan is the safest here.

After all, the machine didn't dare to fight Ivan alone, which means that he was also afraid of Ivan.

"He has a pact with that old guy in Golden Bear, so he won't go far, and will stay in my three-story area and find a way to force me to compromise, heh......"

Ivan sneered.

"But I'm not the kind of person who compromises."

So everyone began to wait.

As Ivan said, they don't need to be in a hurry.

It should be the machine in the shadows, and the old guy in the Golden Bear.

After all, the Golden Bear has really lost two two-story areas.

If the Golden Bear chooses to obey Ivan, they will be able to maintain these two areas for at least three years.

In a place like the mixed zone, where the struggle has never stopped, it is not easy for a two-story building to sit firmly for three years.

Around this area, there are several unstable two-story buildings that change owners almost every year or two.

Some even change it every few months.

The eleven owners of the two-story buildings sitting in the car now have been in power for the shortest time, only three months.

Earlier, outside the car, the reformed person who was blown up by Lu Wen has only been in the position for more than a year.

The ones that really stabilized were only the ones that Ivan initially introduced to Lu Wen, the blue race Kate, the robot Allen, etc.

These guys have been sitting for more than five years.

Little by little, time passed.

Kate, a blue race, sat in the car, looked at the rain flowing outside the window, looked calm, and whispered.

"It would have been much better without this rain."

He doesn't seem to like rainy weather, or he may simply feel that rain is not good for them.

As the master of a region, he is not short of genetic medicines, so he is physically strong.

In his early years, he also felt that kind of pain because of the lack of medicine.

It was a feeling of near death.

Start with the lungs.

The whole lung seemed to be turned into a tattered bellows.

Every time he breathed, he felt that there were hundreds of small knives cutting through the trachea and alveoli, and the severe pain made him worse than death, and he once wanted to know his life early.

Later, it rose by chance and had its own two-story building.

So he became very cautious, careful, and had to think about it for a long time before doing anything.

Fearing that he would lose his current position, that he would lose the constant supply of medicines, he would go back to lie on that cold, tattered little wooden bed, waiting for death day after day.

"Boss ......"

A soft cry from the driver pulled him out of his memory.

Kate raised her head and asked lightly, "What's wrong?" ”

"I just got the news that we're ...... Our second floor, someone blew up, that mechanical ...... The brothers were fighting him, but they were no match for him, with heavy casualties. ”

"Damn it!"

Kate cursed in a low voice, and then immediately explained the situation in the channel.

"That machine went to my place, damn it, he's moving too fast!"

From Ivan's attack to Lu Wen's disappearance.

Until now.

So far, the search has been less than half an hour.

Heavy rain poured down and darkness covered everything, and in such an environment, it was quite difficult for many of his subordinates to search, and even the area of the golden bear was not completed.

"Come some, follow me to Kate's, others stay."

Ivan did not appoint anyone to go with him.

Eventually, six second-story owners, including Kate, followed him.

It's actually not a good feeling.

The opponent is only one person.

Tough.

Hiding in the dark, moving at will, killing with impunity, without any scruples.

But Ivan was waiting for an opportunity.

All it takes is a head-to-head confrontation with him defeating the disgusting machine in full view of everyone, and the crisis will be resolved and his prestige will rise again.

Half an hour ago.

On the top of the second floor, Lu Wen disappeared too strangely.

Just jumped backwards, jumped off the second floor, and was never seen again.

It was raining heavily, and it should be difficult to hide.

……

The second floor of the blue Kate is adjacent to the second floor area of the Golden Bear.

But there aren't too many areas in the connecting parts.

The centers of the two are 25 kilometers apart.

Half an hour.

Twenty-five kilometers.

What kind of monster can rush so far on foot in such extreme rainy nights?

Won't you get tired?

Robot Ellen spoke out on the channel, saying that he could do it and that it wasn't his limit.

But Kate was still vaguely uneasy.

He was accustomed to caution and was reluctant to face such a formidable enemy.

Kate's cautious habits were also stained by his men.

His driver said worriedly while driving: "Boss, a single two-story building will definitely not be the opponent of that machine, I was on the Golden Bear's side before, I sent someone to inquire about the situation of the machine and the Golden Bear's men that night, that ...... The strength of that machine is terrifying. ”

"Don't be nervous, it's not just us tonight."

Kate comforted herself, even though she didn't know the bottom of her own.

Was it really because the machine avoided fighting because it was afraid of Ivan?

"But...... That...... That machine can survive even such a terrifying explosion, unscathed, we here, the top weapons are those grenades, relying on human lives to pile up, it is estimated that it will not win. ”

"It's okay, Ivan is still here, don't be afraid."

"Boss, why can't we ...... with that machine?"

Before the driver could finish speaking, Kate slapped him on the shoulder.

At the same time, Kate cut off the call on the public channel.

He reminded lightly: "If you don't want to die, don't mention the word 'cooperation', Ivan listened." ”

"Ah...... Boss, what about our previous conversation......"

"The previous conversation was still in the normal range, so there is no need to worry."

With that, Kate turned on the public channel again.

The channel was relatively silent before, only the sound of dripping rain.

But shortly after Kate turned on the channel, Ivan suddenly spoke up.

"Kate, my old friend, you are indeed too cautious, perhaps sitting in this position for too long, making you greedy for stability, and the fighting spirit in your heart has been worn out, I think, if a young man goes up, maybe he will do better than you."

The other owners of the second floor listened quietly and did not make a sound.

They knew that Kate's conversation with the driver made Ivan a little displeased.

Cooperate.

These two words imply compromise.

But Ivan never compromised.

That's the choice of the weak, and he's a strong man.

He hopes that the owners of the second floor in his area can also be tougher.

Hearing this, Kate was silent for a moment, and then said in a deep voice, "I want to ...... The rules of the mixed zone cannot be broken twice in a short period of time. ”

Ivan chuckled.

"That's true."

The rules here are simple.

In a place like the second floor, whoever fights it down with strength is whoever it is.

If the owner of the second floor does not show disrespect for the third floor, the third floor should not be killed at will.

This rule is not explicitly stated, and there is no paper rule in the mixed zone.

But everyone knows it.

There are no such rules.

The mixed zone may need to be renamed the chaos zone.

Ivan's action against Lu Wen is already a violation of the rules.

If he makes another move on Kate and changes to a second-story owner, it will make the other second-story owners feel uneasy, and Ivan himself will be laughed at by the owners of the third-story buildings in the other areas.

So he said this just to remind Kate.

Don't be too cautious. ’

Half an hour...... It took everyone half an hour to drive to the second floor of Kate, the blue race.

Crooked narrow streets are a big problem.

Heavy rain.

The streets were filled with countless cold corpses, lying on their backs.

The houses on both sides collapsed and turned into broken bricks and tiles.

Bullet casings were everywhere.

The rain washed away the scarlet blood.

A handful of people did not die.

Every now and then there was a cry or two of pain.

These were Kate's men, hundreds of them, and now they were all lying on a few streets, and it was indeed a heavy loss.

The second floor is blazing.

The firelight illuminates the entire silent business district.

The crackling sound of burning and swaying shadows make the rainy night seem less monotonous.

There must have been some kind of accelerant, otherwise the fire wouldn't have lasted so long

Kate opened the door and got out of the car, her face was hard to see.

The area of the two-story building is not small, but it is big...... It's not too big, and the death of hundreds of his subordinates is a big blow to him.

After tonight, some of the people in the area who are ready to move may start to act.

The stability that Kate was looking for was gone.

"It's tragic."

Giant Buzz sighed.

With so many casualties, it would be difficult for any two-story building to recover.

"Thankfully, he's not in my area." Robot Eren also chimed in, his area was far away from the area of the Golden Bear, which was the outermost layer of Ivan's control.

The other owners of the second floor are more or less happy in their hearts.

Especially the transformer who has only been in power for three months and hasn't even sat down in a stable position.

Such tragic casualties, Kate can barely withstand them, but they are not necessarily.

"Ahem......"

A 'corpse' leaning against a broken wall suddenly coughed up, and the sound was unpleasant.

Mixed with the struggle and wail of the dying.

Kate hurried forward.

A few of his men held umbrellas for him and quickly followed.

A pair of feet crushed the bloody puddle.

Ivan also got out of the car and walked over slowly.

A curtain of rain obscured the view.

You can see it when you get closer.

The man's abdomen was bleeding constantly, and he kept pressing hard, but the whole person's face was already pale, and the cold rain took away too much body heat.

Not to live long.

He sat against the wall, his legs twisted in a strange twist, broken alive.

So even though he knew that his injuries were serious, he couldn't go to a nearby clinic.

If you use the crawling method, you may not have climbed halfway through before you lose too much blood and die.

He looked up at Kate and the others who arrived and smiled miserably.

"Boss...... That...... That machine is accurate. ”

Kate squatted down slowly.

He reached out to uncover the man's torn garment, and saw the horrible wound.

"Don't talk, don't force, I'll take you to a nearby clinic."

Kate tried to pick the man up.

But soon the man's wails of pain stopped.

It's the back.

His back was also bleeding.

Kate then discovered that a rusty steel bar had penetrated the man's body.

The tip of the steel was buried in the man's belly, and the end was pierced through the back and firmly anchored to the wall behind.

This man was crucified here.

"That'...... The machine broke my legs and pinned me here, said ...... Said that before I die, I will see the boss you bring someone over, so ...... He told me to leave a message. ”

"Ahem......"

The corners of the man's mouth were bleeding, and his internal organs were ruptured.

Judging from the level of medical care in the mixed area, after such a long time, there is no help.

He said...... Say...... His next location is...... It's the place of Lord Allen. ”

The robot Alan, who was rejoicing, was suddenly stupid.

Icy rain poured down.

He now suddenly wanted to say two swear words related to the household register.

Not long after, the man died.

As the other party calculated, he has been waiting for death in the heavy rain, and left a good word before he died.

"Can't wait, go to me right now, I'm afraid that bastard has already started to act!" Eren hurriedly spoke.

Now the action needs to wait for Ivan's orders.

Ivan didn't move, and neither could they.

"Ivan-sama, the mechanical ......"

"Don't worry, we'll be right over."

Ivan waved his hand, signaling Alan to calm down.

He turned back to the car.

Kate, a blue man, turned her head to look at the tragedy on her street, and instructed her subordinates who remained here: "All the brothers who died, and those who have families in the family, can get a share of the property, arrange it immediately, and then ...... Clean up the streets. ”

These bodies are evidence of his debilitation.

He didn't want the guys to see it.

Although tonight's fire and explosion cannot be concealed in any way.

Both floors were burned.

After explaining, Kate also turned around and went back to the car.

The convoy set off again.

Robot Allen's territory is even further away, a full thirty kilometers away.

But this time the speed of the team was faster, probably considering Allen's mood, so Ivan told the lead car to go as fast as possible.

Half an hour later.

The destination has arrived.

The rain was pouring down, and the wheels were slowly still.

The sight in front of him almost made Lord Alan can't help but roar.

Ivan opened the car door and got out of the car, and there was anger in his little eyes.

He gritted his teeth and coldly spat out two words.

"Boil the eagle."
