Chapter 41 Arrangements for Visitors
"Yes, I'll announce the rules, I ask questions, and the people who are asked answer them. Those who haven't been asked, shut up, and if your answer satisfies me, I'll let you go. But if you're lying or I'm not satisfied, then we're going to have to get busy tonight and dig up some graves and bury you. Shen Chao said such a long sentence as if announcing a breakfast menu.
The middle-aged man breathed a sigh of relief, and then waited for Shen Chao and them to ask questions. It seems that he has memorized the rule not to speak, but his subordinates obviously do not have such a good memory, or psychological quality is too poor.
"I know, ask me, big brother. The thinnest of the men spoke hurriedly. However, because his memory is not good enough. Shen Chao just walked over and removed his jaw, then knocked him unconscious with a punch.
"Now, who doesn't remember the rules I said? Shen Chao turned around and asked. The rest shook their heads.
"You, who hired you?" Shen Chao asked the middle-aged man directly.
"It's Wang Zongzheng, he gave us the money, saying that you messed up his business and asked our brother to ......come over" The middle-aged man reported the causes and consequences of his work like pouring beans. He's very well organized, and there's no nonsense, not like an ordinary underworld member who can't even say a word.
"So what did you do before?" Shen Chao asked, he felt that ordinary underworld elements should not be so professional, after all, this is the Celestial Empire, and the control of guns is very strict. These guys can each have a gun, which means they should have a bit of a background.
"I came from a reconnaissance company, and I fought on the border for several years during the self-defense counterattack. Trained in counter-torture. The middle-aged man said honestly, without any hesitation.
"Then how did you get into the underworld?" Forget it, needless to say, I don't want to know. Shen Chao thought about it and still felt that it was none of his business, so he asked them for their employer's phone number, address or something. In the end, it was determined that the other party was the boss behind the gang that made false testimonies that Custer provoked some time ago.
It turned out that after Caster extorted a sum of money from them that day, this behind-the-scenes boss with the identity of both political and business circles learned the news on the same day. He first found out Custer's identity and address, and after discovering his residence, he investigated Shen Chao's identity as a matter of course.
In the end, when he felt that he had found out the bottom of the two, he actually wanted to hire someone to kidnap the two, and he wanted to tie the two of them over, and personally repair these two guys who dared to challenge their authority, one is to recover their own economic losses, and the other is to kill chickens and monkeys and establish their authority.
"That's it? "Custer is kind of incredible. Although he is not very good at Chinese, he has lived in Shen Chao's house for half a month, and he has understood more than half of the middle-aged man's explanation, which makes him especially incredible that after he made such a big mess, the other party's solution is just to catch their past lessons!
"This kind of person can also mix**? This sentence was spoken by Custer in Chinese, and although the pronunciation is not very standard, it can be understood. The guys in the front row who thought they were talking about themselves suddenly lowered their heads in shame, in vain they thought that they were the elite of criminals, and they thought that their combat effectiveness was off the charts when they had guns in their hands. As a result, several people were knocked unconscious and tied up in this unknown air-raid shelter without knowing anything, and whether they could get out or not depended on each other's mood.
Shen Chao understood Custer's feelings, after all, he also knew what the Russian mafia was like in Cust's world. It was a mob that killed people and set fires and could do anything. There, not to mention robbing a car from the mafia, even if you steal a few chips from the casino they control, you will be kicked open in the middle of the night and shot. Far from being like the criminals of the Celestial Empire, they don't dare to use a gun if they have it. …,
Because of this, Custer's understanding of the underworld is a group of guys who are almost crazy, armed with weapons and even dare to attack federal government departments, not like this, who dare not come forward when someone gets a car, and has to find foreign aid to even arrest someone.
"Okay, I'm fine. Custer, do you have any more questions for them? Shen Chao asked for a long time and felt that there should be nothing more to ask, so he turned his head to ask Custer.
"I'm fine, do you want to get rid of them now?" Custer replied in a rather disappointed tone. He originally thought that the other party would definitely come to kill them if he brought such a few guys over, so that he could justifiably drag a few scum out to shoot targets. Then go to the old man who instructed them and kill the guy who borrowed the murder. It turned out that all they did was catch some hired thugs with guns. This makes him, who likes to assassinate the gang boss the most, unable to find a good reason to retaliate.
In other words, although Custer's temper usually seems to be very good, he is also very self-contained. But when criminals are involved, especially gangsters who do all kinds of evil. Custer always found any reason for him to get involved in the fight against organized crime.
"Forget it, I've promised to let them go as long as they answer the questions well." Shen Chao patted Custer on the shoulder and said. He knew Custer wasn't in a good mood. After working together for so long, he also knew Custer's temper.
"Just let them go?" Custer asked strangely, he remembered that the old man next to him was also very happy, how could he care about such a trivial matter.
"Of course not, but we can put them in an interesting world." Shen Chao said with a smile, but it was a pity that his smile was blocked by a mask, otherwise Custer would definitely recognize it, it was a treacherous smile. As they spoke, the two of them tied blindfolds and mouth gags to several of the struggling makeshift hostages.
After a few minutes, Shen opened his eyes with a big smile, and he took off the hood from his head so that his smile would not be hindered.
"So fast? Custer asked with the camera, he and Shen Chao were both very confused about the principle of crossing, so they took this opportunity to make a small real. As a result, during the filming of Custer just now, several temporary hostages suddenly disappeared, and then Shen Chao suddenly opened his eyes and stood up.
"How long have I been gone?" I've been waiting there for half an hour. Shen Chao said excitedly, and as he spoke, he took out a flag, which was embroidered with intricate patterns and two eagles. At first glance, it was taken by Shen Chao in another world just now.
"What's the matter, where did you send them?" Although he didn't care much about the life or death of that group of criminals, he was also curious, looking at this strange flag, Custer also wanted to know that Shen Chao sent those guys to that world.
"Hehe, I don't think it's better to say it yet, it's unlikely that we'll go there in the future." Shen Chao smiled very weirdly, if you have to find one word to describe it, it is obscene. Looking at the time, more than half of the morning has passed.
The two cleaned up the scene a little, and then took the car back to the city. By the time they got home, it was already fourteen p.m. The two cleaned up and went to sleep separately. They weren't afraid of someone breaking in, after all, they had a door opening cord on the door when they were at home, and two flashbangs were placed at the end of the padlock. There are alarms on the windows again, and if someone really breaks in, they will definitely be beaten into a sieve by two guys who lack sleep.
At 21 o'clock in the evening, the two people who had made up for their sleep sat down at the dining table and began to seriously discuss their next move.
"We should build a base of operations, we can't always keep these loot at home." Custer gestured to the bazookas and Gauss rifles that had been placed aside. …,
"That's a real problem, Custer, I'm ready to quit my job and focus on my travel through time, what do you think?" This is a question that Shen Chao has been thinking about since the first crossing, but he has never made up his mind. Because, no matter how well he lives in other worlds, he lacks a sense of realism.
For example, in the world of split cells, he has a house, a car, a career, and often goes to Las Vegas to go crazy. That little life is very nourishing, but he still lacks a sense of security, not only because he is afraid of the inertia of the plot, but also because he doesn't know anything about the future after the plot.
But now it's different, now he has Custer to help him look behind his back. And Custer also proved his ability by planning and organizing the last Crysis World crossing. Therefore, Shen Chao felt that he could finally leave the past behind and start a new life.
"You've finally made up your mind?" Custer asked, looking up.
"Yes, my old job is meaningless, it can't give us identity protection, and the work itself has no practical meaning for me now. Shen Chao was referring to money. Kast needed money to prepare his own "New Russia Transformation Plan", while Shen Chao needed a lot of money to build an operational base for two people to train, store arms, stay and even avoid attacks.
This is not unfounded, at least Shen Chao does not think that it is, you know, a successful operation is always based on accurate, timely, complete intelligence and the efforts of highly professional executives who can handle the operation. Any self-righteous act of personal heroism and hot-headedness endangers the life of the executor.
And many of the worlds they are interested in are extremely dangerous. Therefore, it is essential to conduct the necessary tactical training and battlefield simulation before departure. Therefore, a professional venue is also a must. And all of this costs a lot of money.
