Chapter 236: Fasten your seatbelts

Yesterday's shooting in Rafael Square was like a piece of grit thrown into the waves, without making a wave.

In normal times, there will always be informants who contact reporters, after all, they heard gunshots near the White House, even if there are no casualties and only suspected shootings, it is also an incident worth investigating.

However, now, the major news media are busy making big news about the mutant, and almost all the staff in the press are devoting their main energy to this sensitive topic that has reached the level of a national phenomenon, and no big reporter is willing to waste time chasing after the wind and shadows, chasing an illusory shooting case, and those young reporters who are not rich enough are even more difficult to get the news.

As a result, there was no coverage on television, radio, or in the newspapers about yesterday's shooting in Raphael Square, and after the big hands of some people turned over the clouds, the whole thing was as if it had never happened before, leaving no trace.

So, the person who knew about it must have been the person involved, and the person who knew that there was a bullet hole in the van was either the team that surrounded the car and searched for it later, or the sniper who fired the bullet. If it was the former, he would never come alone, and would sit across from him to say hello.

"Well, he's the mysterious sniper who shot me yesterday." Xu Le thought in his heart, judging from the point of the bullet, either he was a terrible gunman, or he deliberately missed it, just to stop himself.

"I believe in you." Xu Le frowned in annoyance, he had a feeling that he seemed to be caught in some complex whirlpool, and this intuition became stronger and stronger as things gradually got out of his control, making Xu Le feel more and more that his brain was not enough.

Perhaps, the guy in the suit in front of him can answer some questions for himself, such as, how did he learn about his plan and get to the hotel near Raphael Square in advance to make arrangements?

Xu Le put away his fierce eyes, tried his best to release kindness, and said in a harmonious voice: "Mr. Reese, what are you going to eat?" We can talk while eating. ”

"Mr. Lewis, I'm afraid we don't have time to enjoy Chinese cuisine, and if you want to live, I suggest you follow me and leave here at once."

It can be seen from the teasing expression on John Reeser's face that this guy must be very capable of fighting, otherwise he would not be alive now.

"Oh?" Xu Le raised his eyebrows, feeling even more puzzled and curious, not to mention whether what the other party said was credible, no matter what the reason, Xu Le couldn't figure out why the stranger in front of him should care about his safety.

In addition, Xu Le noticed that the other party's name for himself was not Xu Le, but Lewis, which was the name written on Xu Le's driver's license, which was the cover identity he used before.

It's getting weirder.

"Yes, your life is in danger right now." John Reeser glanced at the other diners in the restaurant and added, "And they're in danger because of you. ”

"Oh." Xu Le shrugged his shoulders and continued to stretch out his chopsticks to pick up the vegetables, as if he didn't care about the lives of others.

John Reeser let out a short sigh, reached out and touched his right ear, and said helplessly, "It seems that this friend of ours does not want to believe us, and I must reveal some information to him." ”

Xu Le quietly began to observe, the man in the suit sitting opposite seemed to be talking to someone with a deep ear canal micro wireless headphones, speaking very fast, with Xu Le's English level, he could only listen to a rough idea, each sentence would miss a few words, and he had to guess the meaning of each sentence, as if he had returned to the time when he practiced English listening in high school.

"Oh, you might have forgotten the video we saw earlier? In Lilongwe, Malawi, this Asian friend can face those humanoid monsters alone and win, do you really think I have the ability to forcibly take him away? ”

"Finch, we received twenty-one numbers, and now there are twenty more people in the restaurant who are completely innocent, they are just some ordinary people who have nothing to do with it, in the wrong place at the wrong time, and nothing else. But if I can't take Lewis and they're all dead, do you really think those little secrets of yours are more important than the lives of these people? ”

Xu Le didn't hear the next few words, John quickly ended the conversation, looked at Xu Le sincerely, and said in a pleading tone: "Why don't you talk in another place?" ”

"Okay." Xu Le noticed that it seemed that the other party was willing to reveal some valuable information to him, so he put down a few twenty-denomination bills, got up and followed John out of the restaurant.

The two walked out of the door of the restaurant, John took out the car keys and pointed to a Mercedes-Benz, pressed the unlock button, and at the moment when the unlock prompt sounded, a fleeting spark appeared in a certain direction in the distance.

Sniper!

Xu Le jumped up suddenly, put his left hand on John's right shoulder, who was a full head taller than him, and pressed him forward, thanks to Xu Le had received the injection of the strengthening potion and wore a rune bracelet, otherwise it would be difficult to pounce on the tall John in this position.

After the bullet missed its original target, it slammed into the door of the restaurant, and the tempered glass with insufficient thickness looked like a film that had broken at the touch of a sniper rifle, and a bullet hole and dense cracks appeared when it landed.

"I'm driving!"

Before he could explain, Xu Le reached out and snatched the key from John's hand, and quickly crawled forward on the ground like a gecko climbing a wall, quickly climbed to the bottom of the Mercedes-Benz, opened the driver's door, got into the driver's seat, and then started the car, the action was so fast that it was dazzling.

When Xu Le retreated the Mercedes Benz to John, who was hiding behind the obstacles, a terrible scream was heard in the restaurant, and a second bullet flew from the direction of the fire just now.

Xu Le lowered his head in time, and the bullet continuously penetrated the passenger seat and the driver's seat two windows, but did not hurt Xu Le in the slightest.

"Get in the car!" Xu Le didn't care about the life or death of this uninvited guest, but now he was still confused, and he couldn't just throw away the clues.

After encountering the sniper, John's reaction was more calm than Xu Le imagined, unflustered, calmly made a tactical roll, pulled the car door when he got up, sat sideways in the passenger seat, and then pulled the car door, the action was like a smooth flow, all in one go.

Xu Le opened his mouth to speak, but heard the whistling sound of the helicopter's propeller spinning at high speed overhead.

The snow was bright in front of me, the searchlights of the helicopters were like a lightsaber, nailed to the Mercedes Benz, cars with special license plates came from all directions, and the police cars of the nearby patrol officers were crowded to the side of the road.

"Tsk." Xu Le shook his head, glanced at John, and said, "Fasten your seatbelts." ”
