At six o'clock in the morning, the pale mist slowly swallowed the streets and alleys of Fish Scale City, giving the whole city a hazy abstract freehand.

There were no people on the street, and the old streetlights were separated on both sides of the road, like slender figures with twisted sentences in the fog of the lake, and their eyes flashed with dim light.

Occasionally, a few old cars with fog lights would drive by, their tattered bodies shaking, coughing violently, and coughing up strings of thick black smoke in the white fog.

It is a very old industrial city, depleted of resources and desolate.

Viewed from above, the ruined factories of the city are giants that will never wake up, their body parts rusty, their steel legs sunk into the dirt, and their once-hot burning hearts have long since been frozen, leaving only their shattered bodies to disappear in the desolation.

The steel industry of the old era burned the last vestiges of glory here, and the hot blood here was sent to countless rising cities, and in the end, only a devastated land was left here.

If it hadn't been for the sudden outbreak of war, the city would have been depopulated.

After the war, the problems here were far more serious than in the rest of the cities.

In the case of extremely scarce resources, even the mechanical tribes cannot make a proper plan, so they can only let the human race in the city figure out their own way.

So many people have to eat, where does the food and money come from?

During that time, the city's emerging forces, large and small, were looking for a way out.

Eventually, some organizations found a dark path paved with sin and bones, and the barren land blossomed into a gorgeous poisonous flower.

"Hoo ......"

Su Xia stood on the roof of a deserted high-rise building and took a few deep breaths, the air was full of decay.

After leaving the slums of Coral City, he abandoned his motorcycle and took off into the air, not fast or slow, arriving in this strange city at this point in time.

He didn't rest for long, and after a moment continued his movements, leaping into the thick fog, like a ghost, floating among the rooftops of the city.

In his head, there was information about the residences of many of the executives of the sugar water company provided by the fisherman.

At the same time, the executives of the sugar water company were also meeting to discuss how to deal with him and find out the forces behind him.

"The First Evolution"

The two sides can be said to go both ways.

In a projection conference hall, Xue Lin sat in the main seat, and more than a dozen other people were on the left and right sides.

"The fisherman has to be caught, he knows too much information about our company, and once he throws himself at those opponents, we won't have a good time in the future."

"I've urgently organized a group of people, and I can leave for Coral City around eight o'clock today."

"I'm afraid that by then, the fisherman will have already fled."

"He can't escape!"

Xue Lin's face was indifferent, his attitude was tough, and he said to everyone: "Among those people, there are more than a dozen killers who are good at tracking that I personally invited, and some of them are still on their way back, otherwise they will not be delayed until eight o'clock." ”

"Mr. Xue, are those people reliable?"

"They are all high-level killers, at least more reliable than those crooked melons and cracked dates you are looking for!"

Xue Lin was unceremonious, and always had a cold face towards the rest of the people.

Someone asked, "Mr. Xue, are you sure that the killer in Coral City is not from your Zero Tavern?" ”

"It's not."

"Then maybe we should have prepared early."

"What, scared again?" Xue Lin sneered, "With such small guts, when will the company become bigger?" Are you looking for a place to hide? ”

"Mr. Xue, it's always right to be cautious."

"Oh, a bunch of rats!"

The disdain in Xue Lin's tone was about to overflow, and he directly ridiculed many executives as rats.

Although these executives are not angry, they are not easy to attack, after all, the company is supported by Xue Lin alone.

"I wonder what you're all afraid of?" Xue Lin said indifferently, "Even if that killer comes to Fish Scale City, his first target will be me, what are you anxious about?" ”

"Mr. Xue, we didn't mean that......"

More than a dozen people around the long table opened their mouths to express their positions, and none of them left.

The two cities are far apart, and there are no direct planes, and it takes a whole day to drive, and now it's only a few hours, and the killer can't get to this point no matter how fast he is.

Therefore, everyone is not in a hurry for the time being, and it is too late to go to the safe house to take refuge after the meeting.

"Forget it, if anyone wants to speak, hurry up and end this meeting early." Xue Lin waved his hand, "Then, if you want to hide, go and hide, I won't leave, I'll stay at home and wait for the killer to come to the door." ”

At this point, the rest of the people couldn't say anything, and they sped up their speeches.

Looking at Xue Lin's tough appearance, he was really not afraid, and planned to go head-to-head with that possible killer.

However......

The opposite is true.

After Su Xia arrived in Fish Scale City, the first person he went to look for was indeed Xue Lin.

But he patronized Xue Lin's seven mansions in a row, but he found no trace of Xue Lin.

In each mansion, there are housekeepers, servants, security guards, etc., which are brightly lit and luxurious, except that there is no owner of the house.

This guy has been hiding for a long time!

The nature of a killer is to be cautious, and in the face of the unknown, how could Xue Lin continue to stay at home like a fool.

"Looks like we'll have to ask somebody."

All the locations provided by the fisherman have already been searched by Su Xia.

He had the nanobots search every corner of the mansions, not even the basement and ceiling, but found nothing.

Su Xia didn't stop, and immediately set off for the manor of an executive of a sugar water company.

These people lived in extreme luxury, everyone enjoyed the life of an emperor, the corners of the manor were full of bodyguards, and the interior of the manor was lavishly decorated, even the chains on the leashes of the dogs were gilded.

It's just that this kind of life is built on the bones of countless poor people, and I don't know if these people can sleep peacefully.

"Whirring ......"

The gentle morning breeze blew through the manor, and the wind carried the smell of money in it.

But no one noticed, wisps of white smoke similar to fog also drifted into the manor, and dispersed into every corner with the wind.

It didn't take long for the bodyguards in the corner of the manor to fall one by one, and even the security personnel in the monitoring room collapsed on their chairs and fell into a coma.

This is Su Xia's improved Ecstasy, which is fast-acting and powerful, and it is no longer the strawberry-flavored red of the past, but a white similar to mist.

The executive who lived in the manor was named Ren Jun, a middle-aged man with a fat belly, and instructed the servants to clean up their things.

"Don't worry, bring everything you need to bring, and change places to live in the next few days."

It was only past six o'clock in the morning, and of course Ren Jun was not in a hurry.

Even if the killer does come, he will not arrive until the early hours of tomorrow morning at the earliest.

"Strange, why do you feel a little dizzy in your brain, do you take too much insulin?"

Ren Jun shook his head, took a few steps back and sat down on the sofa, feeling his eyelids getting heavier and heavier.

At the same time, only a few "winter" sounds were heard, and all the servants in the room fell down, motionless, I don't know whether they were dead or unconscious.

"Not good!"

Ren Jun was shocked, how could he not understand that someone had attacked him.

Could it be the cruel killer? But it's so far away, how can the killer come?

Maybe the person behind the killer?

"No, why haven't I fainted yet?"

The brief moment of vertigo had passed, and he didn't feel much now.

He didn't dare to get up, because the room was full of glass and could easily be shot by snipers, so he only dared to lie on his stomach, carefully move off the sofa, and get on all fours, intending to move towards the door little by little.

But as soon as he lay on the floor, he found a small black metal needle on his thigh.

"What is this?"

Before he could comprehend, the entire manor suddenly went dark, and all the lights went out.

Ren Jun's eyes were instantly dark, and he didn't have time to get used to it.

His face changed sharply, and he hurriedly crawled to the door with the help of his memory.

But suddenly, in the darkness ahead, there was the sound of steady footsteps.

"Dash...... Da ...... Da ......"

The voice grew closer, and soon reached the door.

Ren Jun's heart rose to his throat, praying for the other party to walk over from the door.

"Bang!"

The lock on the door shattered and fell to the ground, and the door slowly opened.

The footsteps entered the room, approaching Ren Jun little by little with invisible pressure and terror.

Ren Jun was terrified, and hurriedly shouted: "Don't kill me, I will tell you everything!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt something sharp and cold on his neck—

Knife!

His body trembled, and the coldness instantly spread from his neck to his whole body, so frightened that goosebumps rose all over his body, and he didn't dare to move.

The other party didn't ask questions, just stood quietly in the dark, as if thinking about something.

And the knife was on Ren Jun's neck like this.

"Ke...... Respectful...... ......"

The second hand beats, the sound is crisp, and time passes little by little.

For Ren Jun, every second is extremely tormenting.

"Gollum ......"

He swallowed his saliva, his face turned pale, and his back was already wet with cold sweat.

I don't know how long it took, but it became quieter and quieter, and he could even hear his heart beating again and again.

The warm blood was pumped by his heart to his whole body, but he didn't feel a trace of warmth, only felt that his whole body was surrounded by cold, as if he was in a dark abyss.

Ren Jun didn't dare to move, but the trembling amplitude of his body became bigger and bigger, which he couldn't control.

Even an adult with normal body can't keep him in this semi-lying position all the time, not to mention that he is a fat man with diabetes.

Just when he was about to collapse, Su Xia finally spoke: "Ren Jun? ”

"Yes, it's me."

Ren Jun didn't dare to hesitate and hurriedly replied.

After answering, he could feel the knife on his neck open, and the chill of death was far away, which made him breathe a sigh of relief.

Su Xia's tone was indifferent: "Next, I ask, you answer." ”

Ren Jun nodded again and again: "If you ask, I must know everything." ”

"You're a member of the board of directors of the sugar water company?"

"Yes, yes."

"Where is Xue Lin?"

Hearing this question, Ren Jun's heart was relieved, this killer was really here for Xue Lin.

He replied, "Xue Lin is in his own house. ”

"No, he's not home anymore."

"He has seven properties."

"Not at all."

"What?"

Ren Jun was stunned, incredulous.

Didn't Xue Lin say very strongly that he would stay at home and wait for the killer to come to the door?
