“…… A spokesman for Kronos said a few days ago that he had made a clear denial of the accusation that former Kronos employees had contacted 'Cronos and Ling Yu, the subject of compulsory control of the Alliance, and provided support to the latter'......"

-- The Alliance Times

****

"I look for Muhammad."

Ling Yu walked through the hall on the first floor, guarded by soldiers wearing exoskeletons and TFs, walked directly to the elevator entrance, and opened his mouth towards TF guarding the elevator.

TF raised his head and motioned to his teammates around him to take a good look at Ling Yu, picked up the old-fashioned radio, and walked to the side as if to ask for orders.

"Muhammad is free."

It didn't take long for the TF to walk back and shake his hand at his teammates, and Ling Yu walked into the elevator with Vivian, perhaps the only old elevator in Tehran that was still working, making Vivian subconsciously hold Ling Yu's hand.

However, there was no danger, the elevator went up to the seventh floor, and as soon as the door opened, the smell of barbecue came to your face.

"Would you like one?" Ling Yu raised his head, reached out and pulled down the scarf to reveal his face, looking at the man with a turban sitting on the carpet in the huge living room directly opposite the elevator, with plates of barbecue on the table in front of him, and the steaming heat wafted out.

"You weren't the person I'm going to entertain today, but according to what you say, 'it's all guests,' and if you don't mind, you can participate."

"The Grey Heroes of the Alliance."

The man named Muhammad seemed to emphasize Ling Yu's identity intentionally or unintentionally, but Ling Yu was not polite and stepped forward directly. Dusty boots stomp on a luxurious carpet and sit cross-legged.

"You really should learn how to deal with people like this little lady, Ling Yu."

Unlike Ling Yu, not knowing whether to be vigilant or restrained, Vivien cautiously walked to the carpet and hesitated for a moment before stepping on it. Then he sat down with his legs crossed.

Compared to Ling Yu's almost rude behavior, Vivien seemed very cultured, and it was no wonder that the turbaned man named Muhammad was so half-jokingly ridiculed.

"I won't be grateful."

However, as if stimulated by the other party's words, Vivian was stunned for a moment, then changed her ladylike appearance, sat down cross-legged like Ling Yu, and then took an orange on the table and played with it in her hand.

"Hehe......" Muhammad smiled. Instead of seeing the same thing as a child, he picked up a naan, tore off a little bit, wrapped his fingers and tore off a piece of meat directly from the roast chicken on the table, and put it in his mouth along with the bread and meat (Note 1).

"If you want to give me a meal with guò, I don't think you need to."

Ling Yu shook his head, took off the white scarf, and wrapped it around his left arm. Then he picked up a fork next to him and inserted a piece of neatly cut roast beef. It was handed to Vivien.

"How can I give you a dismissal, you have given the whole of Tehran a dismissal."

Muhammad turned around and took a crudely printed newspaper from the carpet behind him and threw it to Ling Yu, and in the center of the front page was a close-up of the corpse of the "freshwater crocodile" with his head stuck in the toilet.

"Thanks to you, my business can go up by 50%. Especially drugs, I have been having a headache how to deal with this 'freshwater crocodile' with the ACA as the backstage, controlling 80% of the drug transactions in the West District, and the oil and salt do not enter, and now thanks to your help. ”

Muhammad smiled in a friendly manner. However, Vivien, who was feasting, frowned.

This one is the bad guy, and the girl has already defined the guy in front of her.

But in fact, "bad guy" can no longer be used to describe this turban man, behind the friendly smile and cultivated demeanor, "demon" is not enough to describe this guy.

Although he is not the de facto ruler of Tehran, he basically controls most of Tehran by controlling this black market.

When most people were still hungry in the ruins, at this guy's banquet, each slice of beef in Vivien's hand was exactly the same size, which was obvious.

"Your business has nothing to do with me, and if he happily gives me what I want, I don't need to kill." Ling Yu raised his hand and held the brim of his hat, "I think you must have learned a lesson from this." ”

"You won't get anything if you kill me, otherwise I wouldn't think you'd be so friendly to sit down and eat with me." Muhammad saw the situation very clearly, and directly pointed out the problem, "You don't care about my life, let alone the 'son of God' is definitely happy to do the right thing for heaven." ”

"Don't hint at me any more, I'm not stupid."

Ling Yu handed Vivian a tissue and raised his hand to signal Muhammad not to continue, "Killing you won't solve the problem, just like killing the 'freshwater crocodile' won't save Tehran, it's not my job." ”

"So, as a businessman, if you want to make a lot of money from me, then get straight to the point."

"And what do you want from me?"

Muhammad still had a smiling expression, "Don't be in a hurry to speak, let me guess first, AY882 supercapacitor, right?" ”

"Your well-informed Cheng dù made me feel dangerous." Ling Yu narrowed his eyes, "You'd better have a reasonable explanation. ”

"This is not from my news network, what needs to be checked is your intelligence network, Ling Yu." Muhammad shook his head and denied Ling Yu's suspicions, "And that's why I've set this table for a feast. ”

"Looks like someone who can answer your question has arrived."

Ling Yu was about to open his mouth to continue asking questions, but the old-fashioned radio in Muhammad's hand suddenly sounded, and the man in the turban said a few words in Arabic, which should be something like letting go.

A few minutes later, the elevator doors opened, accompanied by a clear and lively female voice.

"Yo, Mohammed, you old fellow has prepared a great meal for me."

A sporty, dark-haired girl walked straight to the carpet and sat down on the other side of the table.

"And this." Muhammad took a low-temperature food box from the side and opened it. Inside was a freshly mixed cocktail, "Strawberries with ice powder, and a small umbrella." ”

"I've already paid for it."

The sporty dark-haired girl made an OK gesture to Muhammad, then took the cocktail and placed it in front of her, turning her head to look at Vivien, who had stopped eating.

"You're Vivien. It's as cute as the legend goes! ”

"You'd better introduce yourself first, woman."

Ling Yu didn't speak, but Vivien had already made the reaction Ling Yu wanted, she put down her fork, picked up a tissue and wiped her mouth, and opened her mouth without looking back.

The tone was a bit excessive, but Vivien never had a good eye on people she didn't know.

"It's a little golden hedgehog like the legend." The athletic girl shook her head, took a sip of her cocktail, and then turned her head to look at Ling Yu. "I'm sorry to inform you that I bought all the AY882 supercapacitors here, although it's not much, it's just three, by the way, this is the number of all supercapacitors in several nearby countries, if you don't mind running to Cuba on the other side of the world, then it's best to listen to my offer."

"What do you want?"

Ling Yu finally turned his head. looked coldly at the girl sitting next to her, and the young man with a cold attitude could see at a glance that she was also a TF.

"You're finally willing to look at me." The athletic girl raised her hand and straightened her short black highlighted hair, and smiled slightly, "But don't you ask me how I know what you want first?" ”

"I don't want much stuff, the existence of the 'mystery' pistol is an open secret, and the information and structure of the number of jù are not difficult to obtain because of the events in Iceland, knowing this. Coupled with an excellent engineer, you can see the fatal flaw of the bomb capacity and direct the direction of the transformation to the supercapacitor. Ling Yu hooked the corners of his mouth, and bluntly deduced the biggest possibility, "However, the mystery pistol is still easy to use now." I don't understand why you think I won't fly to Cuba or use other resources? I still have some connections. ”

"So my offer is definitely mutually beneficial, in fact, it's not blackmailing, it's just a stepping stone for you to see me." The athletic girl turned her head, looked at Muhammad, who was concentrating on his meal, and smiled slightly, "I've been in Tehran for three years, although it's a bastard's place. But that doesn't mean that the only rule of survival here is to blackmail each other. ”

"And what is your purpose?" Ling Yu suddenly smiled, he stretched out his hand, picked up a cup of hot tea on the table, blew it lightly, and took a sip.

"I just want to see you." The athletic girl shook her head gently, reached out and picked up a lamb rib on the table, and took a bite of it boldly, "It's really difficult for anyone else in this world to see you except Char and his cronies." ”

"That's true." Ling Yu sipped his tea slowly, "I'm busy, so please don't waste my time." ”

"I'm going to join your squad." The athletic girl nibbled the meat off the lamb ribs in her hand, and then put the bone into the bone plate on one side, "I know you're going to Baghdad, and I hope to go with you." ”

"Hah-"

Ling Yu didn't answer directly, but finally couldn't help laughing, "Do you think a few super capacitors can make me hand over my back to you?" ”

"Of course not." The athletic girl seemed to be expected of Ling Yu's ridicule, and reached out and scratched her hair, "But I think you need a guide." ”

"Oh? You've bought all the guides around here? Ling Yu raised his eyebrows, there are a group of people active in Tehran, most of these people are people who have entered the radiation zone, but have not been able to get rich overnight, their current job is to lead the way for new adventurers, of course, they also occasionally do the work of killing people and goods.

"I don't, but in front of you is sitting the general boss of all the 'guides' in the whole of Tehran, and whoever dares not to listen to him will be fed to the dog tomorrow with broken hands and feet."

The athletic girl smiled and stretched out her hand to Muhammad, who was wrapped in a turban, but Muhammad did not speak, but smiled and nodded, with a feeling of "seeing a smile".

However, Ling Yu knew that this was not a joke.

"Come to think of it, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, I'm the best guide here, you can get super capacitors for free, I can also be your gold medal fighter, and all you need to do is take the risk of a strange TF who can't beat you to appear on your team...... I think it's a good deal. ”

The athletic girl drank the cocktail in her glass, and then added with a satisfied expression.

"By the way, according to our intelligence network, three days ago, a convoy entered the 'black gold' real yàn room, and the ACA may have planned to give up here, after all, you all know, and the alliance will also know, and the ACA may run away at any time."

Ling Yu frowned, obviously, he could just break up and go to this place outside of Muhammad's influence to find a guide to enter Baghdad, but this would undoubtedly require a lot of wasted time.

And obviously, whether the black-haired athletic girl was right or not, he couldn't take this risk, he had already chased here, and it was impossible to let the only remaining clues run away.

"Why do you want to go to the trouble of an ACA base?" Ling Yu was silent for a moment and asked again.

"I don't know." The athletic girl shook her head and said something inexplicable with a natural expression, but then gave an explanation, "I'm a mercenary, if someone gives me money, I'll do things, although the opponent is ACA, but if I join forces with you, there is still a possibility of success." ”

"It's not possible, it's bound to succeed." Ling Yu sneered and opened his mouth to correct.

"How about that, accept my mention?" The athletic girl had unknowingly eliminated a large plate of lamb ribs, but Vivien did not continue, just sat in place with her eyes closed, with a look of wariness.

"It's not enough." Ling Yu shook his head slightly, "I know you have more information about the base, I have to listen to it before I can make a decision." ”

"Then I'll take you as if you agreed in principle." The athletic girl curled the corners of her mouth slightly, "Don't worry, you will be satisfied." ”

Ling Yu drank the tea from the cup and did not speak, nor did he respond to Vivien's worried eyes.

Note 1: This method was sued by an Islamic friend from Morocco, saying that it is a custom of Muslims, and I wonder if this is the case in the Middle East. (To be continued......)
