Chapter 9: The Hiding Place

"I'm going to go, what is this? It's a computer, it's an antique, and it's an antique from the Stone Age, so I'm afraid this can be auctioned! Fang Jian looked at the old desktop computer in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh with some sorrow.

"Less nonsense, it's good to have it at this time, aren't you engaged in the Internet? What is different is used, it is not connected to the Internet. Hu Er looked at Fang Jian, who was reluctant to sit in front of this antique computer with a sad face, and immediately scolded loudly.

"I'm a network engineer, not a magician, do you really think I can connect to the network with a brick? What a barbarian! Fang Jian said in his heart, but he didn't dare to offend Hu Er, and he didn't dare to fight back, so he could only sit down silently in a reluctant voice.

"Fang Jian, you try it first, we just want to know how the police define the matter on the dock, whether we are involved, this is very important for our next action, so you just need to search the current police news. If the police do find us or want us, then I'm in even bigger trouble. Yang Ming patted Fang Jian's shoulder and said.

"Oh! Got it, then I'll give it a try! Fang Jian had no choice but to nod helplessly.

Fang Jian also knew that if they wanted to survive here, it was necessary to help each other and cooperate with each other, and he didn't have much combat power, the only thing he could do now was to help everyone collect information from the outside. If this is not done well, then I am afraid that everyone will think that he has no value, and if there is any problem at that time, he will probably be abandoned.

After all, no one here has an obligation to protect anyone, so in order to ensure that he has a certain value in the eyes of everyone, Fang Jian also has to work hard to give this antique computer a try.

"Humph! This garage is small and dirty, are so many of us really going to spend the night here? Just as Fang Jian was sitting in front of the old-fashioned antique computer and getting busy, Ying Yue looked at the small and dark space around him and said in disgust.

"It's too small, it's dirty, okay! You can go out and find a big five-star hotel right now, as long as you want, and there is no one here to stop you from having to stay with you in this small, dirty place. Originally, Meng Xiyao didn't like Yingyue very well, but now when she saw her disgusting, she immediately said sarcastically.

"You little girl...... Yingyue immediately sank her face when she heard Meng Xiyao's sarcasm, and said unhappily, but before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Yang Ming.

"Okay, okay, you two don't say a word, now is not the time to quarrel, we are lucky to have a place to settle now, you can rest for a while, and then we may have to face a lot of unknown difficulties." Yang Ming stopped the quarrel between the two people in time and said calmly.

"Humph!" Meng Xiyao and Yingyue snorted coldly at the same time, and then the two of them stopped paying attention to each other, and each found a corner to sit down, which can be regarded as temporarily ending this unpleasant quarrel.

Yang Ming looked at the two women helplessly, shook his head with a wry smile, and said that three women were in one play, but I didn't expect two women who didn't like each other to be so troublesome, but fortunately, since Yang Ming took everyone out of the dock, everyone recognized Yang Ming's strength and judgment, so Yang Ming's words still have a certain effect.

Yang Ming: The place where they are at the moment is an old villa area in Miami, which is not far from the city center, but it is wrapped in a giant tree, which is different from the noise and modernity of the city center, this villa area is quiet and slightly dull, and most of the buildings are very old, as if someone has isolated this area from the lively metropolis, which seems out of place with the whole city.

The reason why this villa area has become what it is today may be because the people who live here are old people with some prestige in the local area, who used to work hard in this metropolis, and then bought what they thought was the best house at the time, married and had children here, and prospered.

But the children are growing up, they are also slowly aging, and the original lively place seems deserted with the departure of the children, but they have become accustomed to this kind of life, they are not willing to sell their houses full of memories, and then live in those cold high-rise buildings, as for those luxury villas by the sea are no longer the places they yearn for.

Yang Ming and the old couple they met were like this, the children had left Miami, leaving only the two old people to live here alone, today due to an old man's negligence, the car broke down on the way back from shopping for groceries, and it happened that Yang Ming and they passed by, and dragged the two old people's cars back to their residence in a van.

When Yang Ming saw this quiet place, he immediately realized that this was an excellent hiding place for them, as long as the police and those gang members did not search for them, it was impossible to think that they were hiding here.

And at this time, of course, not only Yang Ming himself realized, but of course several other people also realized it, especially when they knew that the old couple lived here alone, they immediately moved their minds, Hu Er even wanted to tie up the old couple and occupy their villa, so that they would have a place to stay.

However, Yang Ming did not agree with their idea, although this world was created by the Purifiers, whether it was the air or the surrounding environment, as well as the people they came into contact with, there was no difference from real life. When these seemingly flesh-and-blood people did not threaten Yang Ming's life, Yang Ming was unwilling to violate his principles, because there was always a soldier's bottom line in his heart.

In Yang Ming's military world, no matter what kind of environment is threatened by his life, he will not show mercy when he should make a move, just like he judged those gang members on the dock, once he decided to make a move, he did not hesitate to put the other party to death so that the other party had no ability to fight back.

But if it is judged that the other party cannot threaten his life, then Yang Ming must return to a normal worldview and abide by the most basic principles of this world, instead of relying on his own ability to do whatever he wants, this is what the army required them to do when he was trained, that is, the basic bottom line of a soldier's life.

Yang Ming still remembers that the instructor once said that only soldiers who do not cross the bottom line, soldiers who do not indulge their ability to do whatever they want, can be called soldiers, they are the real heroes who defend their homeland, and Yang Ming has seen too many such heroes.

But Yang Ming has also seen the soldiers who have lost the bottom line, those soldiers who have lost the bottom line for various reasons, and finally become mercenaries, local bullies, rebels, etc., in the end, these people can only become prisoners of desire, and become terrifying butchers or perverted murderers, so it is very important for Yang Ming to keep the bottom line.

In this way, under Yang Ming's intervention, the others gave up the idea of kidnapping the old couple, and at this time, Mengxi Yao was clever, and immediately made up the tragic story that they came to Miami with their family to travel, but their wallets were stolen, and her story immediately moved the enthusiastic old couple, and they immediately hired Yang Ming and them to be guests at home.

Yang Ming and they naturally accepted the offer happily, and then followed them to the home of the two, but as soon as they entered the door Yang Ming and they were stupid, it turned out that the old couple had a storage habit, except for the living room and their own bedroom, every room in the villa was piled up with things left by their children or bought for them, and there was no extra place at all.

The old couple also felt very embarrassed when they looked at their house, and immediately wanted to clean it up, but Yang Ming still stopped the two old people, because the project seemed to be too big, and Yang Ming and they probably couldn't wait to live in the room. So Yang Ming can only propose to live in the garage, fortunately, the garage is big enough, and there are some temporary beds, plus Miami's climate is pleasant, there is no problem in living in the garage.

In this way, Yang Ming and his entourage of six people all came to the garage, and there happened to be an old computer in the garage that the old man used to check the information, and it was said that it could still be used, and Yang Ming and the others also happened to need to understand the information outside, so Fang Jian had no choice but to fight with it.

"I'm really embarrassed, I am sorry that you can only live here. Alas! It's all my fault that the old man is reluctant to throw away anything, now it's okay, there is no place to live, it's really sluggish! At this time, the old lady walked into the garage with a few glasses of water, and complained as she went.

"Hehe, Mrs. Mason, you are so gracious, we would have been very grateful to you for having a place to stay, if it weren't for you! I'm afraid we're going to be sleeping on the streets. Meng Xiyao saw the old man and immediately greeted him, showing a sweet smile and said.

"Hehe, just Xiaoxi Yao, you can talk, come on, come on, you all drink some water." When the old lady saw Meng Xiyao, she smiled and said, then beckoned everyone to drink some water, chatted with everyone a few words, and left the garage after arranging to entertain Yang Ming and them for dinner in the evening.

"Yes, there is news on the Internet!" Not long after the old man left the garage, Fang Jian finally successfully entered the police information webpage to obtain the information, so he immediately exclaimed.

"Well, did they even notice us?" At this time, everyone was also attracted by Fang Jian's words, and they all stood up and came to Fang Jian's computer, and Hu Er didn't understand English, so he asked eagerly.

"Well, probably not! I just went to the local police website, and they announced that the dock was caused by a traffic accident that caused a vehicle explosion, but there was no casualty report at the scene, only such a simple message, let alone us, and even the gang members did not mention a word.

Of course, I couldn't have believed all the reassuring news, so I hacked into their internal police system and found that the local police had located the incident at the pier as a gang fight.

And the gangsters who died at the dock were shot with their locally registered weapons, and although the registrants have not been found, it is clear that they do not think that anyone has deliberately invaded and caused chaos, so they have not yet discovered our existence, but only think that the locals are fighting for territory. Fang Jian was finally able to show his ability, so he explained things very clearly, and even showed off a little.
