Chapter 58: The Scapegoat

Natasha's smile made Zhou Zhi feel like a man's back, and only after her eyes moved back to the book did he ask, "Do you think I can't go to Jiro Oshima?" ”

Natasha shrugged her shoulders and said in response, "If you don't mind, I'll go through your original plan, you can't stop Jiro Oshima's energy experiment, and you can't determine whether the consequences it will bring to humanity will be destruction or rebirth, so you want to keep it under control, right?" ”

"Well, but..."

Zhou Zhen was a little absent-minded, what he wanted to know was not this.

Natasha interrupted him with a wave of her hand: "So you designed two brakes, one is the internal brake, so that the company will become a director of the enterprise alliance and obtain the right to distribute energy; The other is the external brakes, expanding the gangs into a force that can compete with the corporate alliance. ”

Zhou Zhen gave a thumbs up: "Brakes? Interesting analogy. ”

Natasha's gaze stopped at the book: "After Thomas implants Zhong Xiaoguang's ID chip, there will be no record of his gangsters in the database of the enterprise alliance, and his three months in the gang will be recognized as vacation or field work, at that time Thomas will still be the majority shareholder of the Armored Mouse Company, and Zhong Xiaoguang is the new CEO, and the internal brakes you designed are intact." ”

She flipped the page of the book: "As for the external brakes, after Zhong Xiaoguang handed over the Maya box to Thomas, General Bernard will get a new body, he can return to the helm of the gang, and you don't need to worry about him." ”

Zhou Zhen understood what she meant, and said with a desolate smile: "So I can go and die with peace of mind?" ”

Natasha's voice is very clear, if Jiro Oshima takes back the longevity system at this time, it is equivalent to breaking the agreement between Hayes and Jiro Oshima, the Squirrel Company will lose the support of Shennong Group, Thomas will lose the protection of Jiro Oshima, and whether Bernard can be resurrected has become a question mark, and these three costs are unbearable for Zhou Qian.

It is even more unbearable than dying from ricin.

Natasha tore a few pages from the hard-shell book, cut the edges and put them into a folder, raised her head and looked at Zhou Zhen indifferently: "You can die, but you can't rest assured, the bandits of the Armored Rat Company have violated the rules, and they need a scapegoat, otherwise the Enterprise Alliance will continue to be investigated, and the Armored Rat Company will not be able to resume normal operations, let alone participate in the competition for the seat of the governing company." ”

Zhou Zhen smelled a hint of ominousness: "Scapegoat... You mean? ”

"You've brought him in, acting CEO during the banditry case."

Natasha reached out and pointed upward.

Zhou Zhen suddenly felt five thunderbolts, and the gauze on his forehead was soaked in blood: "You are crazy!" That's Lao Cheng! ”

Natasha's expression was as cold as ice: "What you can't do, you can only do it." ”

"What did you do?"

Zhou Zhen took two steps forward and clenched his fists.

"I informed the Business Alliance, and the security forces will be there tomorrow."

Natasha stared at his eyes, neither flinching nor dodging: "This matter is not only to help you achieve your plan, but also for myself, Cheng Xu will know sooner or later that I am a leaker, do you think he can let me go in the future?" ”

"Natasha, you..."

Zhou Zhen slammed his fist on the bookshelf beside him, turned around and rushed towards the elevator.

Natasha didn't stop him, holding on to the rickety bookshelf, picking up a few books that had fallen on the ground, dusting them off and inserting them back in.

The thirty-sixth floor of the light of technology.

"Lao Cheng!"

As soon as the elevator door opened the gap of one person's width, Zhou Zhen had already rushed out, and he began to shout in the elevator room, and when he rushed into the office, his footsteps suddenly stopped.

In the center of the office, the bartender of Du Kang's wine store was lying in a pool of blood, the flesh above his neck was blurred, and his brains and bones were washed away by blood, like a broken raw egg.

"Old Zhou, you're here."

Cheng Xu sat on the couch with half a cigarette in his mouth, his prosthetic leg unloaded, and Natasha's shotgun rested on the back of the backrest.

"It's too late to elaborate, let's go quickly."

Zhou Zhen didn't bother to ask him what happened, and stepped forward to pick up the prosthetic leg and stuffed it into his arms.

"This thing is broken."

Cheng Xu extinguished the cigarette on the prosthetic leg, and then threw the prosthetic leg and cigarette butt away together.

"That kid attacked me, but unfortunately the force was too small, and the recoil of this shot was so strong that it just hit my prosthetic..."

"Don't say it, I'll carry you away, hurry up."

Zhou Zhi said and grabbed Cheng Xu's arm, wanting to set him up.

Cheng Xu's body sank and shook off his hand: "Don't leave Lao Zhou, I know it, Natasha is a leaker, that kid told me before he died, and he locked the maintenance passage himself." ”

"I'll leave any nonsense until A834."

Zhou Zhen couldn't help but pull his pants with one hand, and put the other arm under his armpit, and then he used the brute force of his whole body to hug Cheng Xu stiffly.

"Old Zhou, fuck save it."

As soon as Cheng Xu's words fell, a heavy punch had already smashed into Zhou Qian's face, Zhou Zhen took two steps back with one foot on his feet, and he sat back on the sofa with one leg on the ground.

The Venus in front of Zhou Zhen took a while before dissipating, rubbing his face and scolding: "Are you all fucking crazy?" ”

"I'm a brainkiller, so don't bother."

Cheng Xu held the shotgun in his hand and pointed it at Zhou Qian: "I checked Natasha's emails, she should have deliberately left it for me to see, this woman is so smart, you can use her in your future plans." ”

Zhou Zhen was furious, and stepped forward to grab him by the collar: "Let's talk about the future later, what's the benefit of you staying here?" Playing with corporate alliances? ”

Cheng Xu pressed the barrel of the gun against his abdomen: "I have to help you keep the Armored Squirrel Company, and I have to help Hayes keep his baby son, if I leave, the Enterprise Alliance will continue to track down Thomas and Zhong Xiaoguang, Natasha should have told you." ”

"I can think of another way, hurry up."

Zhou Zhen did not give up, and he wanted to pull Cheng Xu up again.

Cheng Xu pulled the bolt and knocked on the safety with his thumb: "Why the fuck I can't understand you." ”

Zhou Zhen was also anxious: "You shoot it!" ”

Before he could finish speaking, the shotgun moved a few inches away, and there was a bang in his ears, red bullet casings shattered in his face, and the plasma TV across the couch shattered into glass shards.

This shot calmed down both of them, Zhou Zhen let go of his hand, stood in front of the sofa stunned and speechless, Cheng Xu put the gun across his lap, stared at him and didn't speak.

In the middle of the night, Cheng Xu stood up on the sofa, used the shotgun as a crutch, moved to the desk half-walked and half-jumped, picked up the half-bottle of whiskey on the table, and shook it towards Zhou Qian.

Zhou Zhen nodded and walked to the desk.

The two clinked glasses in silence, and the whiskey quickly bottomed out.

Cheng Xu slumped in the chair and stretched: "Isn't this good?" ”

"Which one?"

"Dead in the old city."

"You're sick."

Cheng Xu poured the last two drops of wine from the wine glass into his mouth: "I'm used to it, since the energy war, I have always been thrown down by you and Hayes, my ears are filled with all kinds of orders, defend the Meixiaola lowland, guard the Armored Rat Company, guard the basin barracks, these ghost places are not as good as the old city, this is my old Cheng's buried bone treasure." ”

Zhou Zhen threw the wine bottle stopper over: "This time is different from the past, whether you like it or not, I must take you away." ”

Cheng Xu snorted wine, patted his chest and said: "Don't fucking interrupt, I feel very great at this moment, I am as great as the old city, once the old city dies, how many animals will have a way to live, and if I die, Thomas, Zhong Xiaoguang and the dozen guys from the Squirrel Company will also have a way to live." ”

"you, no one will miss you."

Zhou Zhen scolded, got up and went to the refrigerator to get a few cans of beer, he thought about how to get Cheng Xu away, maybe drunk and dragged away was the only way.

Cheng Xu took a sip of beer and said with a smile: "You have to read my good first, after killing this kid, I originally wanted to kill Natasha too, when I went down to the thirty-fifth floor, you and she were chatting by the bookshelf, and I hesitated for a long time and didn't do anything." ”

"Why?"

Zhou Zhen was a little surprised, he was upset at the time, and he didn't even find Cheng Xu.

Cheng Xu sighed: "Why bother? I can't come back after killing her dead brothers, and I will ruin your century-old plan, I don't have a bright brain, and I don't know what will happen to you in the future, in short, you have to be careful, just get rid of her if you have fun, and it can be regarded as a small revenge for me. ”

Zhou Qian's heart was sour, and he opened the beer can and drank it all.

"You've got to read me another good."

Cheng Xu pointed to his backpack next to the sofa: "In there." ”

Zhou Zhen walked over and picked up the backpack, the backpack was heavy like a brick, he pulled the drawstring, and couldn't help but be overjoyed, it was actually equipped with a small nuclear fission engine, the vehicle-mounted type, and more than half of the nuclear materials stored inside.

Cheng Xu lit a cigarette and said triumphantly: "After the battle of the basin is over, you asked H to unload it on the military vehicle, and they forgot to take it away when they evacuated, so I took it away, there is a nuclear-powered locomotive downstairs, right?" ”

Zhou Zhen snorted, and had an idea, he put his backpack on his shoulder and waved his hand to Cheng Xu: "Go, Lao Cheng, if you don't run away with me, accompany me for a ride." ”

"Okay, come and help me." Cheng Xu agreed very happily this time.

Zhou Zhen walked back to the desk, bent down to hug Cheng Xu, and just stretched out an arm, the shadow of the butt of the gun flashed in front of him, and then his head buzzed.

In front of him, it quickly became pitch black.
